president barack obama speaking in just a few hours? >> rosemary, barack obama's appearance will be a reminder to the world, to each country, precisely what they promised to work towards when they signed the paris agreement in 2015. that is, to cut emissions deeply enough to ensure that average-global temperature increase doesn't go beyond 1.5 celsius by the end of the century. and crucially, at this halfway point into this conference, the needle hasn't moved enough. the commitments are still desperately insufficient in terms of that ultimate goal. so, at this halfway point as the conference begins its final stretch towards the deadline at the end of the week, it's not just about identifying gaps, but specifically which gaps can potentially be closed in the remaining days? because there are still many, and they are still wide. and i think there is no doubt that emissions cuts remains the most important issue because, as i say, countries simply have not committed to do enough in order to keep the goal on track. and not just in the long-t

joe biden, when he was vice president of barack obama was standing arm in arm. there is a different relational aspect there. >> different vibe. >> very different vibe. is there a connection? are there two separate, i guess, wings of the white house, if you will, beyond the east wing and the west wing? is there the vice presidential wing versus the president's wing? yes, there is. when the issue of haiti came out, she made a ruckus about it. it wasn't taken seriously. she's also talked to people -- >> so some of this is real? >> some of this is real. she's also talked to activists who are out there about voting rights. the president doesn't want to deal with the issue of the filibuster right now. and every time i ask the question, you can see the consternation in the room from the press office. >> a former high-level harris aide told the white house they're consistently sending her out there on losing issues in the wrong situations for her skillset. have they done that a little bit here with kamala harris? i mean, putting her in charge of the border stuff is not

barack obama was worried about south korea and other emerging countries that were really getting more educated workers and so we said let's expand the number of people who are going to college and grad school. he recognized the were some problems with student loans. my checker in the book on barack obama it's interesting chapter but i try to maintain -- you recognize a lot of problems with lending and had a lot of ideas to fix some of the problems but he did really buy into this notion that college is this is t investment that everyone should take part in. inherently that would require an increase in student loans. so getting back to the great recession which lasted through 2009 but even after 2009 the unemployment rate even when we're technically recovering as in, the unemployment rate was very high and young people, people in their 20s, certain groups were really hit hard by this. so you had this boom in higher education enrollment which it wasn't mostly -- was because of what he said. just because the economy was so we can the were not jobs available the were a lot of people who no

president barack obama will be speaking. what all can we expect to come out of this day and of course this final week. >> reporter: rosemary, barack obama's appearance here is a reminder what they all signed up to when they clapped and cheered the paris agreement in 2015 which is limiting global temperature warming to an average 1.5 degrees. this is a reminder how desperately short they are falling in terms of living up to that intention, to that promise. the final week will be after a short stock taking period, a desperate sprint to the deadline to try and close the many wide gaps that exist across a range of issues, but emissions cuts and the shortages there remains the core issue. how to get them on a credible path to achieving what the science says is necessary. to refloekting the time frame, the very limited time frame the science points to as well. crucially there are still a number of countries that are not acting quickly in the short term because a number of countries have come in to this conference promising to hit

and we find ourselves here, the first time i ran for congress in 2012, i was running to stop barack obama which was important at the time for sure and i even wrote a book which about a dozen people have read, that talked about how his vision was contrary to the best traditions of our country and our constitution and i stand by it and those were important fights, and they were-- and it was all something that was worthwhile. but i've got to tell you, i look back at those days, compared to what we're facing now, and it seems kind of quaint to me. if you look at the threats that we're facing, to freedom, to our way of life, to the constitution, they are much more profound and pervasive than they were just 10 years ago. think about what these democrats wanted to do and probably would have done if they had just won a couple more races in the house and senate. they want to make d.c. a state so they will have two permanent, radical left democrat senators for life. they want to abolish the electoral college so california can basically elect a president every time. they want to federalize these fra

barack obama was worried about south korea and other emerging countries getting more educated workers so let's expand the number of people going to college and grad school and he recognized some problems with student loans so i chapter it's an interesting chapter because tough but i try to maintain my standard. he recognized problems with lending and had ideas to fix some of the problems but he did buy into this notion that college is this great investment everyone should take part in an inherently that would require an increase in student loans so getting back to the great recession that lasted through 2009 but even after, unemployment rate even when technically recovering from and young people, people in their 20s, certain groups were hit hard by this so you had this boom in higher education enrollment, it wasn't mostly obama, it wasn't because of what he had because the economy was weak and there were jobs available, there were a lot of people said okay, now is a good time to go to school. there is historic increase college and graduatell school enrollmentt around that time. millio

what did president barack obama have to said, what was his message in. >> so, it was an urgent message, kate, but i should mention that right now we're outside of yet another event with former president obama right now as we speak. he's speaking to young activists. earlier today, when you look at his arrival here at cop26 it's no coincidence that he arrived when he did. this week is filled with crucial critical intense climate negotiations among the nations here, and this is really seen as an all hands on deck type of approach bringing in the former president here really to repair the u.s.' credibility when it comes to climate change following four years of donald trump. now president obama focused a lot on the politics of climate change and urged people not just in the u.s. but worldwide to get past that and really get on board with aggressive climate action. take a listen. >> we need advanced economies like the u.s. and europe leading on this issue, but you know the facts. we also need china and india leading on this issue. we need russia leading on this issue, just as we need indone

president barack obama will also be in glasgow monday to deliver remarks at the summit. the speech will focus on progress that's been made since the 2015 paris agreement, which the u.s. signed onto under the obama administration. he's also scheduled to meet with young climate activists while in glasgow. now, one country that is taking action on climate change is the netherlands. long before heavy floods ravaged europe this summer, the netherlands took drastic action to reshape the land so people could live safely. cnn's phil black explains. >> reporter: germany's valley is striking and serene. soaring steep slopes covered with vineyards. we see the river flowing gently more like a stream. but everywhere, there is evidence of its unpredictable power. in july, the water here swelled suddenly. violently, swallowing homes and businesses in just a few hours. extreme rainfall devastated communities throughout this region of europe, killing more than 200 people. this video was taken from the top floor of a hotel and restaurant. >> here was the kitchen. the restaurant was there.

the former president, barack obama, appeared at the u.n. climate conference in scotland. >> now, back in the united states, of course, some of our progress stalled when my successor decided to unilaterally pull out of the paris agreement in his first year in office. i wasn't real happy about that. so, despite four years of active hostility toward climate science coming from the very top of our federal government, the american people managed to still meet our original commitment under the paris agreement. and now, with president biden and his administration rejoining the agreement, the u.s. government is, once again, engaged and prepared to take a leadership role. >> all right. let's discuss with cnn senior political commentator, david axelrod. a former-obama senior adviser. david, thanks for joining us. how rare is it to see former-president barack obama on the world stage like this going after former-president trump and bolstering president biden's climate agenda? >> well, it is rare, wolf, and the president -- president obama made clear w

obama and hillary clinton. >> when barack obama and hillary clinton are not gini ginning up concern about future elections and saying if something isn't solved about a past election that people are not going to vote. we're not telling people not to vote. >> look, democrats are saying that the election laws in this country are unfair. how does that not -- how is that different? they're saying that oh, what florida and texas and georgia are doing are unfair. if you look at what republicans are doing, the goal is 100% participation and zero percent fraud. that's not what chuck schumer is saying on the floor. i watch it and have to propose on the stuff, a federal takeover of election laws. get rid of i.d., get rid of, allow balance lot harvesting and same-day registration. that creates fraud in the next election. that's what democrats are doing. >> that's a different thing, senator. they are questioning laws that will restrict the access to vote for many people. they are not questioning the integrity of elections. they are questioning vote access. donald trump is saying that elections -

he forgets barack obama may have been the first black president but he will be the most progressive president i don't think that it's alarmist to suggest that at his age he is probably a one term president, and i think he recognizes that and i think anybody with eyes and ears and a pulse gets that,y so he's going to do as much as he can and as quickly as he can. >> the impact of this will be profound. >> absolutely. one of the things i like to say isnd you have to understand why are they doing all of this and the thing is in the isolation you can explain one or two things it's because of this or that, but it's not. they all tie together. everything is about maintaining permanent political power. so think about this because if you have power and it's permanent then you can continue past the policies so what do you need to do? two things, you need to maintain power so you pass the court, to, you make puerto rico a state and get potentially for democratic senators. the district devotes 95-5. it's like a given. guarantees you would never lose the super majority and then you need new voters so you

that's going to be the new talking point on the left and if he gets the fact that barack obama may have been the first black president but he will be the most progressive president and he wants to cement that. i don't think it's alarmist to suggest that at his age he is probably a one term president. and i think he recognizes that and anybody with eyes and ears and a pulse gets that. he's going to do as much as he can as quickly as he can. >> the impact of this will be profound. >> absolutely. i think one of the things that i like to say is you have to understand what i call the big y? why are they doing all ofthis ? the thing is it in isolation you can explain one or two things and say it's because of this or that. and it's not. they all tied together. everything is about maintaining permanent political power . if you have power and its permanent then you can continue to pass your policies in that item. what do you need to do? one is you need to maintain power in those key areas so you pack the court, too, you make dc a state in puerto rico a state so you get potentially forpermanent d

obama and the guy john edward, they are all the questions. joe biden and chris are upstanding u.s. senators deserve to be treated better, this was how i was treated in 1980, the man on the edge never got any questions so once again i said don't you think senator biden done with think it's art you're calling a republican president, calling them and he said get them on the phone. so we did it he had a great conversation with him. i only tell those two stories because it gives people a little insight, camaraderie that happens behind the scenes between these people who have this shared experience. go ahead. >> he operated well on the telephone and his letters were amazing. not always a great speech maker but you get him in a room with ten people, i think he liked the state dinner so much because with ten people he was amazing. >> that is great. i'm sorry, he was very personable. i do want to go back to the photo of the presidents backstage of hurricane harvey. it's a great archive to pull back up. i have to tell a funny story about that night. th

we started losing votes during the tea party revolution right after barack obama was elected and we had been able to regain our footing since then. reelectee statistic for your viewers, when i was elected in 2012, probably about 20% of republicans would cross over and vote for a democrat. when i ran into any 18, that number -- when i ran in 2018, that number dribbled -- that number dwindled to 4%. when that number gets low, democrats cannot get elected in a state like mine. it is important rural america not be one party america. we started the one country project. it was to reintroduce the democratic party to rural america and rural america to the democratic party. host: do think over the course of the years the policies of the democratic party have fallen out of favor with rural americans, or rural americans themselves have changed their views? guest: i think it is the emphasis. it is not the policy. the economic policies of the democratic already are much more favorable to rural america. where we get into challenges is when this becomes about defunding the police or about transgender

we're seeing it-- when barack obama says this is not sustainable, that's pretty indicative. he feels sometimes people are going to get near martha's vineyard. [laughter]. when you look at the homeless situation, when my daughter who was not a trump supporter calls me and says, dad, i can't take my three children to this park or that park because of feces, or when i go to a san francisco hotel and the doorman says, sir, did you look at the bottom of your feet when you came in? we're getting to the point where the very stuff of things are, when you look out the port of los angeles and you see all of those tankers, it's scary. and the containers are not moving and there's people home not working. and so, that's not sustainable. so something's going to happen. and the second is, we do have a constitutional system that's pretty durable and i feel that in this mid term, if everybody gets out to vote and the republican party, that's hard to -- let me stop. if the republican party can be somewhat sensible, they can have a 1938 or 1994, 2010 correction and stop it very quickly. and t

but if you look at the numbers now of how midterm elections work, on this day in 2009, barack obama was 53%. at 53% he still lost virginia and he still lost new jersey. earlier in the year he was at 42% and he lost the house of representatives. he is where obama was on midterm election day in 2009. he needs to turn that around or the democrats are looking at a trap door. >> something he has never been is toxic. there is not very many he wants to campaign with, but if that's the same, there will be democrats who want him in their district. joe biden went everywhere and president obama didn't travel around a lot. it's a referendum on you. so inside the white house right now, we may hear from the president later today, we may not. i'm told they're still deciding that, but he needs to try to corral this very divided party. it's not his fault, the blame goes all the way to pennsylvania avenue, but he is the party that owns it. >> it is so incredibly hard to turn those numbers around once they start cratering. we've seen that with every president. >> trapped in a narrow box to begin with. >>

barack obama won the state yes but state is generally speaking but republican state, including two wins for donald trump. already we have seen some impact from this map drawing. gk butterfield who will is a democratic member of congress said he's not running again because hi district went from safely democratic to a toss up. wo we'll see what other decisions get made there. two states to look at. two big ones. one is florida. this is state that republicans control all the mechanisms of redistricting. we expect them to sure up the gains they made in south florida in the 2020 election. make those districts a little more solid. maybe go after seat like charlie crist. he's running for governor in the 13th district. val demmings is run for the senate. then there's california. california is the largest delegation in the country. the largest state by population in the country and has not been all that competitive. they have an independent redistricting commission. no politicians at all. they are not supposed to look at incumbency as a factor in drawing lines. why is that important? you draw th

so during the barack obama presidency for example, the country actually went from demographically speaking being a majority white christian country, 54% white and christian in 2008 to being one that is no longer a majority white christian country. it's 44% white and christian today and that reality setting in has led to an i dentity criss where abcesent legal methods to rollback the clock, there is an anti democratic reach for other means when democratic processes have failed. >> there is something i read about called the last gasp of white supremacy and what you're talking about and i believe that to be so and the desperation as you call it. let put up robert's book again. robert p. jones, thank you very much. appreciate that. his book -- make sure we get it in there. it's called "white too long." the legacy of whit sup preliminary see and american christianity. thank you, sir. fascinating what you've found. >> thanks so much. >> you, too. >>> president biden apologizing on the world stage for take this, something the former president did. try vicks vapocool drops. in honey lemon chill. f

it's not that long ago in the history of the states after barack obama had the big win in 2008, chris christie in 2009 in new jersey, made their mark. but, what you are looking at here and to the point earlier, you are just hearing, on at least i'm hearing from local folks in monmouth county that even at the township level will, some town council seats like seem to be going republican in sweeping fashion. so you are seeing something that's happening at the local level that you are also seeing narrowed at this gubernatorial level. you are right, john, to say murphy must be wondering how much of this is me and how much of it is out of my control? if you looked in the recent preelection polls, phil murphy's approval rating was far out performing joe biden's approval rating. joe biden was underwater in new jersey, but phil murphy was a brand of his own. that's what they thought going in to this election night. well, it doesn't look like democrats have individual brands right now the way that the vote totals are coming in. so, if indeed, and i know there's more vote to come. john, you said

barack obama was running for president, and the government was going to be playing a much more active role in people's lives. "parks and rec" is actually called "public service" at one point. we liked the idea of going for a boring title like "the office". >> we're just taking the sell plate of "the office," but the office takes place in one of three rooms in the same dreary building. suddenly it was like, now the world's our oyster. >> here we go. wake up. out of the slide. >> leslie knope had ambitions, very optimistic. which was big for comedy. >> we did it! you know, i like to tell people, get on board and buckle up, because my ride's going to be a big one. leslie knope is stopping for no one. >> we thought it was important for the main character to be a woman because we wanted it to be a show about a trailblazer in many ways. >> excuse me, ma'am. do you mind if i borrow your hat? i just want to throw it up in the air victoriously. >> a realistic look at a fictional version of an experience we've all had because there were people of all different shapes and sizes and ethnicities a

bush to barack obama, to ronald reagan can tell you that's not so, and a talented groups of votes and all of them suffered significant political losses in their career. and the trend today that your previous panel touched on and we understand, politics today is the struggle between good and evil and you frame your opposition as evil. you frame your opposition as morally corrupt. so to lose now is to lose to corrupt forces and that's what feeds this notion, well, i can't concede defeat because i'm conceding the success of the corrupt forces on the other side. and it also creates sort of winners dancing in the end zone phenomenon because now winning means, i've beaten the forces of evil on the other side so i need not be magnanimous. i need not beyond a day or so be gracious. that double set of forces in our society that affect sports, by the way, it affects entertainment, it affects business and affects how we think about winning and losing in politics. >> i think that's right and i appreciate you come from alabama, a state that has a team that is known for winning and a state that has

next president barack obama and musician bruce springsteen described their relationships and often offer thoughts on politics as a companion to their podcast the renegade plus wrapping up a look at nonfiction books is the book of hope: from scientists and conservation conservationist jane goodall on what it means to be hopeful in trying times. some authors have appeared on tv and you can watch their programs anytime. >> i'm robert doerr, president of ai and i'm happy to welcome you to this terrific conversation with three wonderful people. i want to start out by mentioning the person who made us do this and get it done and get it done fast and kept us inspired that's sally frizzell. when i first came to aei when i was eight years ago the second scholar i met after the great john makin was alice and she welcomed me to this wonderful community so warmly and kindly but also showed me through her work on issues concerning mental illness and addiction and healthcare and cities how to be a great scholar and i've been inspired by her work ever since and i'm so happy that she told us that we had

now, but listen to what former president barack obama has to say about protests and persuasion in the twitter verse and real world. >> protests are necessary to raise awareness. #campaigns can spread awareness. but to build the broad base collisions necessary for bold action, we have to persuade people who either currently document agree with us or are indifferent to the issue. we have to do a little more listening. we can't just yell at them or say they're ignorant. we can't just tweet at them. >> well, and that's where we are tonight. the climate crisis. the investigation of january 6th. we need to get the truth of all of it. so let's get to the bottom of the truth now. let's get right to january 6th, the committee issuing six in subpoenas that. i want to bring in john dean. the perfect to have on during this. thank you, john, good to see you. >> good to see you, don. >> we're talking about people reportedly in the oval office in the meetings working to overturn the election on various fronts. you know the stakes. your testimony in the watergate investigation toppled a president. wi

. >> jimmy carter and barack obama. not ronald reagan and not donald trump after abraham accords. >> and even though mccarthy has said that green and gosar will be serving on committees -- >> they'll have committees. the committee assignment they have now, they may have other committee assignments. they may have better committee assignments. >> green questions whether he will become house speaker. >> we know that kevin mccarthy has a problem in our conference. he doesn't have the full support to be speaker. right now from the people i've talked to, he is -- he doesn't have the votes right now. i think that there's a door open for a challenger. >> green who appears to be on her way to becoming chair of a comitting in a new gop house has tweeted about boebert's remarks saying, never apologize to islamic sympathizers. the lesson learned for green and the rest of the freak show caucus, appeasement and interpreted as weakness. loyalty only flows in one direction. not the republican leader, more like the dear leader which mea

her brother-in-law was a high-ranking official in the justice department in barack obama's second term. so these are people who she knows, knows what they're talking by but we sort of got used to it in the trump days of family members being involved. but to have family members having any kind of a role other than a spouse is an unusual thing. >> okay, all right, isaac, thank you very much. appreciate the reporting. i want to bring in cnn's senior political analyst and host of "firing line" margaret hoover. margaret, is all of this finger-pointing to be expected, considering the shaky poll numbers for the white house right now? >> i think that's one way to see it. the other way to see it is this john adams. he had that famous quote about the vice presidency where he said it was the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived. the vice presidency is for a go-getter, somebody who's eager to jump into the fray and for somebody who is new to washington, which is unusual for kamala harris. i went back and looked at this, with the least amou

you know, michael flynn is somebody who should have never been national security adviser, barack obama warned donald trump famously, don't hire michael flynn. and yet he brought him into the mix. if donald trump becomes president again, what is to stop a mike flynn from becoming defense secretary. it is going to be a whole lot easier for a secretary of defense michael flynn to order people to seize ballot boxes if he's in charge of the pentagon. one of the things i, you know, experienced, brianna, covering the trump administration, there were people, you know, various levels of the federal government, who are willing to sort of put the brakes on the crazies inside the trump administration, and fortunately that's what we saw in this episode. there were people in the flynn episode according to carl's book who are basically saying, no, to michael flynn. people who are going over to the justice department and saying we need to go back and recount these ballots in various states. there are people at the justice department saying, no, so, i mean, thankfully we did have people at various leve

. >> it's hard to remember it now, but during the obama administration, barack obama said he was opposed to gay marriage. but people's opinions change. >> "modern family" came at the right time, and it came in right on the heels of "will & grace," and it just kept the engine rolling, which is very helpful. >> you just made a little girl very happy. >> yes. well, i can see that. >> i think a lot of people really loved mitch and cam together, and it was very heartwarming to hear from people who, you know, were in straight relationships saying, my husband is just like mitch, or my wife is just like cam. >> all they cared about was raising their daughter well, and they loved each other, and they were sweet to each other. >> you're this amazing-looking guy and -- >> i am not amazing. really? >> i wouldn't change anything. >> we were like this trojan horse that came into their living room. it's like their hearts accepted us before their minds did. >> we're having a baby! >> and why wouldn't you want them to be married? >> on the steps of the supreme court, jubilation among same-sex marriage su

but throughout the process, we were focused on one thing, and that was barack obama's polling numbers. his magic number for us was 46. we felt if he was at or below that, we'd take back the house, and ultimately right before the elections he was at 45 and we had a big election night. it's easy to focus on all the other things. think of how many conversations we've had on critical race theory in the past month or so. it all comes down to what the president's approval rating is, whether he's going to lift votes or sink votes, and democrats are either going to sink or swim based on what joe biden's approval ratings are. >> staying in virginia and focusing on the lesson there, one thing glen youngkin, the republican, now governor-elect, also did is keep donald trump at an arm's distance. maggie haberman is reporting that trump delivered a clear message at a republican congressional campaign dinner last night saying that youngkin would have lost without his support, saying that maga support is the only way to win. with that in mind, i want to play for you what a youngkin campaign adviser s

obama or george bush or joe biden or donald trump. it happens to be true that in making the determination, the sitting president can take into account the claims and arguments of a prior president. that's just prudential. but the sitting president is the one who basically decides. and it's not to say that there is not some decent claim that could be made in some future claim by a former president. maybe president biden, if he is a former president will make some claim of privilege going forward and a future president will take account of that. that didn't happen here, and that's what decides the matter for the purposes of the this case. >> yeah, it's perfect. it belongs to the office and not the individual. again, she says privilege exists for the benefit of the republic, and it is not tied to any one individual. the president is now just an individual. he is not the former president. he is not the president of the united states. here is my question. because he is appealing this, the former president, what are the chances that he i th
