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

then barack obama gets re-elected easily two years later. this is the ebb and flow of american politics. i'm not saying it's great. i'm just saying, this is the defining feature of our time, just like, you know, for large chunks of the 19th century we had really, really crappy presidents. >> there are a couple of things. steve really kind of points them up for us. the first is understanding that, you know, 2016 is -- and '20 are presidential cycles. in between, you have the local races. so you have this national phenomena, where everybody is focused on a big name for president. then it becomes very local, which is what these governors races really reflect. and what this race in virginia says, and i think that, you know, youngkin put it right when he says, "i want to change the trajectory of the commonwealth," and he is going to focus on the local issues to help do that. he's not springing in national issues. that's what mcauliffe tried to do. he tried to tie youngkin and trump together. he tried to create this national synergy of, you know,

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

accusations, invented controveries like they did to barack obama's entire presidency. every secretary and relative and any person that has any association to the current administration will come under target. we've seen that anyone involved in trump world will not hesitate to abuse their power, use their office, use their leverage, use their authority to do whatever they want to trump's enemies to perceive things. they made enemy's list in the administration. they will advance, they will do everything they can to target and go after every single person they perceive to be a threat to them and really, what that means, a threat to them are people willing to stand up for democracy. people willing to defend democracy, defend checks and balances, respect our institutions, try to hold up the pillars that keep our society going. steve bannon has said all along that his intention is to act as a lennonest and tear down and destroy the structures of institutions in the establishment. he announced that in 2017. what we see happening with donald trump and the republican party and

bush, a friend of barack obama and bill clinton. how do you do that? the connection part. i met him during the gulf war. i traveled with him, secretary cheney and general powell, building support for the gulf war around the region. rev we refuel, and not a long conversation, don't want to overstate it. but we're talking about race. i said i went to school in boston. he said public schools? i said yes. that gave me credibility. he asked about military service in the family. my dad was in the army but at the end of korea, but in germany. i had an uncle who did hard combat in korea, and he winced when i explained. he asked what unit. he took the time, a minute, two-minute conversation, but took time to ask about you. to the point you made earlier, i remember traveling with him, and then a trip after the horrible southeast asia tsunami. when you went to man, to egypt, saudi arabia, the officials in the government and the troops in the field would light up. this black man was at the pinnacle of american power, the four stars on the uniform when he was general, the secretary of

barack obama cried after sandy hook. you had bill clinton first struggling with his weight during the campaign and the infidelity issues. showing vulnerability i think makes you a better candidate. when i was preparing one of the presidential candidates in the 2020 race for presidential debates, that was one of the big things that i told them, get away from the notes, get away from the prepared comments, talk about your life experience, things that people can relate to. >> that is risky. susan, what do you think of that strategy? i can think of a few moments off the top of my head when politician goes off script and you're like, whoa, no, stick to the script please. >> please clap. >> yes, please clap. there's definitely a double standard with how we treat men and women candidates. to michael's point going off script smart or not smart? >> depends on the candidate. can you go off script in a very scripted way if you're a good politician. >> going off script as a scripted politician. guys, don't go anywhere. we still have

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 got elected it felt like a historic moment because it. was i am a little, bit i'm gonna take a step back for politics. this feels different, why? and what do you see as the antidote. >> i think it feels different because it is not the people who are stepping back out of the sense of relief, right? i think the people who are pulling back to progressives are really very engaged. but i think plenty of people find this so poisonous that in order to preserve their own sanity the sort of have to take a step. back the total political involvement that was the aim of getting trump out of office. got people threw themselves into for four years isn't sustainable. and so i think in order for people to get involved once again, there needs to be people in the party who say that, if you fight for this, democracy can be saved. and in order to do that you need to have some sort of path to voting reform legislation. you need to have some sort of path for democracy legislation. >> yes i think that's very well said. i'll be here, and i denied out, bad feelin

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 -

we will win, though, with the barack obama script that barack obama strategy of addition rather than subtraction, which leads me to my second point which is that after losses with the democratic party does too often is says well, we have to choose between base mobilization and persuasion. any party that forces themselves to choose between the two is guaranteed to lose. we have got to center our message and our strategies around that, which is bold and unifying and we have got to take our messaging as well as most importantly, our policies to the majority of the american people, not just our base. >> debbie, so messaging is important. i think max rose's point is well taken about simplicity in terminology that republicans use versus terminology that democrats use and that can be fixed but underlying that, what about message? because this conversation between base and a broader audience is one that is active within the democratic party now. what should it represent itself as being in the next election in order to prevail? >> i don't think that there is any doubt, ali, that we the democr

but it was a big enough deal that it is something the newly-elected president, barack obama, reflected on publicly when he trotted out on inauguration night, on that big night, to what was then called the youth ball, to share how he knew that and what it meant for the future. so on this journey tonight, thinking about this set of generations and the youth, he gets the last word. >> young people everywhere are in the process of imagining something different than what has come before. [ cheers and applause ] where they imagine bigotry, they imagine togetherness. where there is disease, they imagine a public health system. i can't tell you how many people have come up to michelle and myself and said, you know, i was kind of skeptical, but then my daughter, she wouldn't budge. she just told me, i needed to vote for obama. and so a new generation inspired previous generations. and that's how change happens in america. [ cheers and applause ] >>> coming up next we are joined by a global music sensation. his name is lil baby. his music is popular among all generations around the world. he's a

barack obama was elected twice. while barack obama was in office, democrats lost, i believe, 1,000 legislative seats nationwide. the consequences of that for the party have been devastating. so if you're sitting out there and you want to get engaged, you want to make a difference, don't just look to congress. this is whether you're a republican or democrat, whoever you are. look to the state legislatures. by the way, the state legislatures, this is so important, we're talking about the big lie. we're talking about january 6th. do you know why that festered? because we were still counting wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and georgia weeks later. now, leading up to the election, we said on this show time and again, and others said, those legislatures, in order to stop any questions about the legitimacy of the election, should do what the state of florida does. yes, ron desantis, governor of the state of florida, and past governors have done, and that is count all of the early votes before the polls close on election

this is a county back in 2012, mitt romney only lost to barack obama by about four points. fast forward, biden carries it by about 25 points. there has been massive movement. these are areas with racial diversity, asian americans and latino population as well. there is an abundance of white voters with college degrees especially in richmond, virginia. i think that's what powered biden winning by ten. >> steve kornacki allowing me to crash in on his sleep time. thank you for doing this and making time. >> i am happy to do this. we will see you tomorrow. >> we will lock at key races in the virginia governor's race, we have key races in a number of important u.s. cities. it is a more interesting off year election year than usual this year. now i am looking more forward to it than ever. >>> still ahead tonight, the supreme court heard oral arguments on a case it went way out of its way for. they have not moved this fast to hear a case since bush v gore. the arguments were live streamed, electric, at times infuriating. we have that story and expert help to figure it out, next. e

the only time the pattern was broken in 2013 when a leader after barack obama was reelected president and some guy named terry mcauliffe was elected governor of virginia and then the pattern went back to the same as it always been. one party wins the white house and other party wins virginia's mansion. youngkin has history and momentum on his side. what mcauliffe has on his side is math. the fact that this has been a bluer and bluer state and so the question is, do enough democrats come out to vote for mcauliffe? does youngkin motivate republicans in a year when trump is not on the ballot which plays both ways. right, trump is in a lock box. we'll not know until tonight how this works out. i think anybody tells you they know how this is going to play is wrong. we just don't know yet. i don't rule out the possibility that other candidate could win convincingly either because of the momentum or the math. let's see. >> let's put sam stein in the position telling us how this is going to play out. >> white house senator for politico. sam, how is it looking in virginia, any polls giving you

he was a former deputy attorney general under president barack obama. wow. i mean good evening. okay, so, laura, this is -- you do this forever. you know what's up. what do they tell us about where we are in the legal system and with race in this country? >> well, we look at both of these trials, you have jurors being dismissed because the punch line of somebody shot in the back seven times is more important than somebody getting access to a fair trial and somebody being able to understand of humanity and another is you got a concerning effort according to the judge to try to have a jury that's comprised to people who are all white. there is not a guarantee that you get to have the specific racial composition of your jurors. the supreme court and prosecutors and defense attorneys across the country know that when you are trying to engage any behavior to try to curate a jury in a way. typically what you have here this does not sound like justice truly or the pursuit of justice. it feels like an opportunity to try to undermine it. >> you know, eliot, the juror in rittenhouse. tell

barack obama when he was president his last year, illegal crossings were at a 50-year low. just stop and think about that for a second. illegal crossings were at a 50-year low. and in the obama/biden administration, they skyrocketed under donald trump. they are continuing to skyrocket now. obviously joe biden needs to figure out exactly what worked when he and barack obama were in the white house before and duplicate that. >> there's that, but as they celebrate the bipartisan infrastructure bill today, i would also suggest that they look at the many different crises facing this administration and think about like a supply chain czar. there's a couple different things american consumers and this is what -- this is what's going to impact the way they vote. that are impacting them right now. they can celebrate a bipartisan infrastructure bill about what's coming. that's great. but what's happening right now? like, massive shortages in supply chain issues and that's going to stay with us for months and months. >> mika, the 60 minutes piece last night on the supply chain, crisis

hillary clinton's campaign when she started making progress against barack obama. snooer talking about cutting the gas pipelines. >> that election has worked for other presidents as well. >> i want to step back a little bit here and follow up on what clear was just talking about, about learning from last coos. >> we talked last week about the new york times editorial. their analysis of democrats lost in virginia and governor's race. the party. this morning the wall street journal william is giving his take. he writes in part, gubernatorial contest mainly teaching about race and it raised an ethnicity in public schools. >> three easy steps, showed how not to do with it. >> first, tell parents butt out. >> second, infuriates parents by telling them they are confused and there is no real world problem. and finally accused of republican candidates of blowing a whistle. the bottom line is time for democrats to get serious of the problem they created for themselves in decades long, drift towards progressivism that repels the voters. >> they node to build a national major

obama by about four points. fast forward, biden carries it by about 25 points. there has been massive movement. these are areas with a lots of sort of racial diversity, a large asian-american population, latino population as well. but p it's also that demographi we talked about. there's an abundance of white voters with college degrees especially in richmond, virginia. i think that's what powered biden winning by ten. >> nbc news national correspondent steve kornacki allowing me to crash in on his sleep time. thank you for doing this and making time. >> i'm always happy to talk elections. i'll see you tomorrow. >> i'll see you tomorrow, steve. >>> again, we're going to have full election coverage tomorrowo night, looking at the key races in the virginia governor's race, we have key races in a number of important u.s. cities. we have ballot measures that are going to do-to-be sfr interesting in terms of policy and partisanship. it is a more interesting off-year election year than usual this year, and i'm looking

the republican base slash fox news audience naturally hated barack obama, it naturally hated hillary clinton, it naturally hated biden and harris. pumping out lies all year, including straight-up deception like you see, and they've succeeded. they're taught their base to hate joe biden. joining me now, david plouffe, 2008 obama campaign manager as well as a former senior adviser of president obama. he is here to discuss. first of all, that really is like, even by their standards, pretty egregious with the disappearing hand in the middle, to do that. how much of an effect in the sort of -- the space of american politics, and the amorphous thing we call public opinion, how much effect does that one network have? >> enormous. first of all, chris, you're smart to call this out, because i think we believe there's no bottom at fox. this was a new and meaningful and dangerous moment. maybe it was a trial balloon. but this is a new front in their war. so yeah, i mean, they basically pollute up to probably a third of the electorate and then that third of the electorate spills over into, you k

if you think about positive male figures, you know, i think barack obama is a great male role model. he's a responsible husband, responsible father. he studied hard. he works hard. he plays sports. he's athletic. he does all those things. they would never bring him up. there are other great examples in popular culture of positive nontoxic males. chadwick boseman's "black panther" character. those are movies that made millions of dollars. our society is not in shortage of nontoxic male figures. that's not what josh hawley is putting forward. they're putting forward donald trump who stands for everything they claim they don't stand for. >> right. i'm running out of time. liz, the idea that masculinity not unlike the best version of americanism is something that would be forged together, it's something that you explore in your book. what do you mean by mindful masculinity? >> it's important to have compassion in this conversation. there are a lot of men who are suffering in this country, but our inability to see men as vulnerability clouds us. i'll leave you with one data point. we're s

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. >>

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 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

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

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

president barack obama's first off-year election. republican bob mcdonald won the gubernatorial race in virginia by more than 17 percentage points. and chris christie became a national celebrity by winning in new jersey, despite that, democrats passed the affordable care act in 2010 and president obama was re-elected in 2012. based on that history, should we be careful to draw any major conclusions from just a handful of races? >> rev, if i were the democrats, i wouldn't talk about it anymore. there was a huge vote that passed for americans, especially in certain districts where those democrats need a win, they got one on infrastructure. who cares about virginia and new jersey anymore? that's yesterday's news. i really think that it's important -- yes, you want to do a recap of what happened and perhaps where things went right, where they went wrong, but move forward. this infrastructure bill is all about not just bridges and tunnels, but you got clean water, you got the electricity grid. you just spoke to a congressman from texas. t

. >>> barack obama honored jay-z at the rock and roll hall of fame induction. obama said in part, quote, this, i've turned to jay-z's words at different points in my life. jay-z is one of the most renowned artists in history and an embodiment of the american dream, a dream he has helped make real for other young people like him. >>> with october in the rear view, the country's box offices are celebrated. october was the best month for the domestic box office since the pandemic started, grossing over $638 million. 78% was driven by major films including "venom," "no time to die," and "halloween kills." growing consumer confidence and returning to cinemas amid the pandemic led to october's gains. >> still ahead, one day before the city elects a new mayor, the deadline for workers to receive the vaccine leave as shortage of firefighters. "way too early" will be right back. "way too early" will be right back like the splash they create the way they exaggerate the surprises they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not an injection or a cream it's

one stay-at-home dad and part-time lyft driver in arizona became convinced that barack obama and george soros had packed ballots boxes with fake ballots. he left messages saying that the secretary of state would hang from a tree. and georgia, saw for rudy giuliani, he left a voice mail for the fulton county director telling him he better rung or he would be hung and face firing squads. a 42-year-old night staffer, worked at a youth treatment center in utah, he said his anger boiled over after he watched an election conspiracy theory event hosted by the my pillow guy mike lindell. he messaged an election official saying i know where you sleep. be afraid. you will die. this is by a real person who is findable, traceable, reuters called them. reuters spoke to nine of these folks, believing they believe they didn't do anything wrong, saying election officials deserve these threats. most of the people reuters spoke to, part of the reason they're so cocky and not running from this, there are no consequences for it. most have never heard from police. even though law enforcement alerted officia

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

this is a virginia state that voted for barack obama twice? >> this crt stuff, i keep beating the drum, it lands badly with me. some of it is dog whistle. >> some of it was dog whistle racism. >> stupid wokeness. some of these people need to go to awoke detox center or something. >> so which is it? you see him, a distinguished professor at vanderbilt university. you should know, viewers, his new book is "entertaining race," a michael eric dyson book. always a reason to talk to you. you heard the sound there. which is it, sir? >> the call to be awake is an offense to them. on the other hand, those with critical race theory deployed as a kind of cud joel to beat down on the heads of those who are enlightened. i think woke is a term of derision and pejorative term. bless james carville's heart, he says these people need to go to awoke detox. my friend, far more ancient is a history of white supremacy, social injustice, even in progressive circles or liberal circles for the indictment that captures all of us. it's not just a right-left thing, a bl

obama. i have to slide that in there. you need to have some levity. >> i have to ask you before you go, a, would you ever go back in government? and what do you think about the state of politics across the country? >> so, obviously, it's rough when you turn on the tv 5r7bd read articles and talk to your crazy uncle at thanksgiving. i know i will. i don't know first and foremost, i'm lucky fans are willing to let me into their homes again. people that watch our show. they're involved in their own communities. one of the things that i remain hope. about having worked in the white house is the opportunity that we have to really make a difference and i know that sound hokie. but the stuff that i worked on wasn't sexy enough to be on came i cable news. it wasn't vitriolic enough to be on twitter. the types of people i was meeting were people that cared about their communities. when they made their voices heard, they may have gotten 100% than they wanted. rediscovering that is something i am tryin

trying to change that trend is valerie jarrett, the ceo of the barack obama foundation and board care of civic nation and part of the made to save coalition, working to make vaccination more acceptable in communities of color. valerie, thank you for what you're doing. >> thank you. good afternoon. >> you've got 28 million american children eligible to be vaccinated and you're trying to make sure children of color in particular get that shot. what are the challenges you're facing? >> absolutely. well, first of all, nothing is more important from the parent's perspective than the health of our children. we want do everything we can to keep them safe. there's been a lot of misinformation before. so part of our goal is to reach out across a broad network of organizations across our country, meet people where they are, give parents the information that they need that will convince them that it is safe for their child to get vaccinated, encourage them to talk to their pediatrician and health care providers and build this network of support that moves the needle forward, with no pun intended
