i've got some. >>> coming up, we'll show you barack obama's comments at the cop26 meeting. "way too early" will be right back. meeting. "way too early" will be right back the best things america makes are the things america makes out here. the history she writes in her clear blue skies. the legends she births on hometown fields. and the future she promises. when we made grand wagoneer, proudly assembled in america, we knew no object would ever rank with the best things in this country. but we believed we could make something worthy of their spirit. at t-mobile for business, unconventional thinking means we but we believed we could make see things differently, so you can focus on what matters most. whether it's ensuring food arrives as fresh as when it departs... being first on the scene when every second counts... or teaching biology without a lab. we are the leader in 5g and a partner who delivers exceptional customer support and 5g included in every plan. so, you get it all, without trade-offs. unconventional thinking, it's better for business. to be a thriver with metast

an architect of those winning strategies is david plouffe, barack obama's 2008 campaign manager, a former senior adviser in the white house, and someone who all democrats turn to for insight and counsel. so interesting to have you on the big night. >> election night 2021. >> 2021. >> there we go. >> let's start with that comparison. obama and mcauliffe were under water, as you experts like to say. but managed to win. could terry mcauliffe pull that off tonight or is it different? >> no, he could. i think the question here is, this is a -- 2013 was a tough environment for terry, too. but you know, we just can't compare this election night to a year ago. okay. i think a lot of americans, including virginia, thought we would be largely done with the pandemic. delta reared its head. the economy is growing, but not as quickly as we would like. gas prices, which i will tell you, when gas prices are this high before an election, voters are really cranky. other cost of living matters. terry is a repeat candidate. that doesn't work as well these days as it used to. a bunch of things that make the

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,

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

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

this is the approach that rocketed barack obama to the white house, forced to confront race obama offered americans a vision, mobilized a broad, diverse coalition, while also persuading white voters. what are some of the specific ways you think democrats can do that? >> the reason we point to president obama is that lots of democrats think they can ignore racially coded republican attacks when they run for office. i think m virginia terry mcauliffe thought he could ignore them and was surprised when republicans made critical race theory an issue. president obama of course knew from the very beginning he was unable to ignore race and would have to address it. he incorporated it into his message from the very beginning in his 2004 convention speech which rocketed him to national prominence in the first place. and really in much of his message m 2008 he gave an entire speech focused on race in the middle of the campaign which is not something that any other presidential candidate in recent memory has done. specifically i think this is about what we refer to as what is called the race class t

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

barack obama's memoir sold over 3 million copies in the first month. christie is not looking at obama numbers or looking at a million or half a million or 100,000. the results are in and this book moved about some saying it's kin to not publishing a book at all. it looks like the publisher won't even break even. the book is a money loser and has some in the party thinking christie or mr. 2 k looks like a loser of a potential candidate. his media tour featured him meanwhile trying to claim independence but also defending maga figures like trump and tucker carlson. >> the book is called it's about conspiracies and lies and you really don't take on fox news. why not? >> look, because the book -- >> tucker carlson -- >> because the book -- i don't watch it. >> are you aware of what he does? >> not really. i don't pay a lot of attention to it. >> christie says he doesn't pay a lot of attention to fox news. well, the news tonight is republicans and most americans are paying zero attention to chris christie. we'll be right back with one more thing. we'll be r

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

after the 2010 loss, there were people on the left who were literally writing op-eds saying barack obama shouldn't run for president again. those are sort of crazy hot takes that you get in all this and not understand this pattern. and the question is can we break this pattern and how do we go about breaking this pattern because what you've talked about is right. the party in power gets punished the next year there's a historical trend there. but what i would say is different about what's happening now, ari, this is really important for us to understand, is we actually have to break that trajectory because, ari, we don't break that going into this midterm, it may well be the last sort of midterm or end of democracy as we know it because if you look at what republicans are doing across these states and you know, in the state legislative bodies and if you look at that, if we can't stop that from the federal level, we don't know what 2024 is going to look like. we may have a next presidential election where, where if republicans are in control, they actually throw out the votes and they put

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

former president barack obama spoke at the climate conference in glasgow five years after the paris climate agreement he signed at the u.s. climate conference. he used the speech to denounce the politicizing of the climate change in the united states and around the world. listen. >> there is one thing that should transcend our day-to-day politics and normal geopolitics. that's climate change. it's not just that we can't afford to go back ward. we can't afford to stay where we are. the world has to step up. and it has to step up now. if we are going to act on the scale that's required, climate change can't be seen anywhere in the world as just an opportunity to score political points. nature, physics, science, do not care about party affiliation. and what is true in the united states is true in every nation. >> recently chuck spoke with another world leader at the forefront of the fight against climate change, the prime minister of new zealand. here's part of their wide-ranging conversation. >> a lot of countries say we'll do more, but only if they do more. you hear it, we'll only do as much

. >>> 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

. ♪♪ >>> back during barack obama's second term the president invited a small group of progressive economists to a white house brain storming session. their mission? to advise the administration on the best ways to accelerate economic growth. according to the "new york times" paul krugman who was there, president obama began the meeting by saying "don't tell me i should spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure. i know that, but i can't." this week president joe biden did what obama and donald trump both said they wanted to do but couldn't. he got an historic, $1 trillion infrastructure bill passed through congress. the package includes 110 billion for roads, bridges and other major projects. $66 billion for passenger and freight rail. $39 billion for public transit. $65 billion for broadband and $55 billion for water systems and the replacement of lead pipes. that is real achievement and real money but the real measure of biden's presidency will be whether he gets the much bigger build back better bill through congress as well which has far more real money for real people and for the climat

i think that barack obama was both confident and different than other politicians, but, boy, you better be popping out and cocky and excited and selling what you did because people want to know where their money is going. it's interesting if you do the obama comparison that michelle makes because we pulled video in front of the same bridge when they were appealing for more infrastructure spending all the way back then. take a look. >> behind us stands the ben spence bridge that it's in such poor condition it's labeled functionally obsolete. >> and replacing the bridge in cincinnati, you like that, critical to the region. >> this will be the first time i have come up here in a quarter of a century where i thought maybe there was a way forward on the brent spence bridge. >> i've got to tell you, gene, that's a lot of people who know about this bridge but never funded it revitalization. it's striking to see biden winning on it and of all people, mitch mcconnell, who was for it after he was against it, coming around saying maybe we're going to fix this thing with biden money. >> right, beca

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

barack obama. stacey abrams. the list goes on. i don't know that it's possible in contemporary politics even in a upper south mid atlantic state to put up with anything but increasingly nationalized state politics. to youngkin's credit, he has tried to taylor this to virginia, and a lot of this has a cultural bent. what's going on in the schools? this notion of critical race theory. that somehow the public schools are hot beds of transgender depravity. the situation in loudoun county just outside of d.c. which has been at full boil and has really captured the imagination, particularly of conservative media. >> mark, in the time we've got left, you frame this as looking a lot like 2014 where mark warner scraped by with a win by less than a point. if this is a lot like 2014 and mcauliffe narrowly wins this race, what should democrats take away? is there anything they can do to improve their chances going into the midterms? >> garrett, one they can say a win is a win. and actually, who is in control of governor's mansions and an atto

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

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

the two of them are there between barack obama and laura bush. the whole thing felt very -- i keep harping on, it felt familiar, because i know that's a weird thing to say about a funeral but it felt like a familiar comfort, almost, in a way. i just think there is so much about general powell that we were reminded of today, the seminal human theme. we don't even mention his service as a young military officer. the guy was in vietnam twice, he has a purple heart because he was in a helicopter crash and ran back to pull out three people. there's so much about him that we know but we've forgotten because he's done so much. i found i'm glad i sat and watched this today, i think it was a comfort. i hope other people got comfort from this service as well, particularly his family. >> it's such a lovely thought. helene cooper, thank you so much for joining us, for watching this service with us and for being with us today, we thank you for that. eugene robinson, let me bring you into the conversation. did you too find comfort in this? >> i did, i learned

but i didn't see fred upton stand up and protest when it was happening to barack obama. everybody needs to condemn all of this craziness. i would say somebody's going to get killed. people have gotten killed. >> that's sobering. yesterday, talk about sobering, i spoke with paul gosar's sister jennifer. here is a little bit of what she told me about her brother. >> at this level i am reengaging to pull my brother out of a cult, right? to pull him out from enabling and empowering the cult, because it's a very active -- and although he's a buffoon when he talks, he's active in engaging those people that want to hear that message. they want to feel better about themselves, they want to feel like they're not losing something. >> susan, do republicans not realize this kind of behavior, while they argue, it's harmless, it's freedom of speech, that it puts people in harms way? >> they know it and a lot of them do not care. that's where the need to be reelected or to stand out, maybe raise money, whatever it is, people like gosar put his own personal feelings above what is good f

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

you have seen occasions where the president, bill clinton in 1993, barack obama in 2009, donald trump in 2017. you had first years there that got rocky. the poll numbers for the president started to drop and extirnl factors and the other party ended up winning in virginia. it is a continue wags of that trend if youngkin wins here. >> chris, you and steve will have long nights and early voting numbers are strong so far why what are you hearing on the ground? >> reporter: yeah. both campaigns are i think pleasantly surprised by the early voting numbers. huge numbers in on saturday and ellie voting tends to favor the democrats. both campaigns see this as a sign of interest and there often isn't interest in an off year election. both candidates have been out in force all weekend and again today. for mcauliffe trying to tie youngkin to trump. youngkin said he will not go to a trump rally and it is the culture wars for youngkin working, talking about critical race theory. take a look at the enthusiasm gap. extremely enthusiastic republicans is 49% of the elect rat. 32% of democrats say they

joe biden used to tell barack obama all of the time in 2009 and 2010. it is the difference between compared to the almighty and the alternative. so those were words from vice president biden and i think you'll make that turn. obviously there is a lot of government business that has to get done in the next four, six, eight weeks, once you get into the state of union particularly, you're going to see a sharper, more contrasting president biden. >> we'll be watching. robert, heidi, jake and ali, thank you so much. we're going to leave it there. any minute now, market sets to open after having their worst day since last october. what you need to know as wall street reacts to this new covid variant. their only friend? the open road. i have friends.

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

president barack obama, appointed general powell, to the federal reserve in 20 2011. and in 2017, donald trump appointed him to be the chair of the federal reserve. president biden announced that he will anomaly him to serve a second for your term as chair as the federal reserve. >> someone no doubt questioned why i'm renominating jay. when he was a choice of a republican president. i'm not picking a democrat. why i'm not picking fresh blood? or taking a fed in the different direction. directly, at this moment both of the enormous potential an enormous uncertainty for a comedy. we need stability, and independents at the federal reserve. >> if these three democratic senators, including elizabeth warren, announced they will vote against the paul nomination. but that is unlikely to change the outcome in the senate and the majority of democrats, and almost every republican senator voted to come from paul four years ago. when the senate vote was 84, to 13. today he became president biden's fuel general in the fight between inflation. >> we know that high inflation takes a

it is same america that elected barack obama twice, you have donald trump right after that. how do we process all of this? >> yes, this is a question i all-important get from students, i try to remind them that i think we are part of a very long story. and so this story of bright spots followed by darkness, or bright spots together with darkness, are part of our long history, in addition to the things he talked about in politics we can think about slavery in reconstruction. so these things tend to go together, but i think it's important for us to do use those bright spots, to take them and find joy in them as we continue the work. it's important that we don't get bogged down and start to celebrate the price phosphine they happen, because it's necessary to hold on to that kind of thing, when we need to continue to work and we do those work from residents ration and the turnout, when we're fighting against redistricting we were just hurting about. and battle in against covid, we can do those things with a smile on our faces we remember the good times. >> i just want to end on

obama winning virginia by six points. which stunned a whole lot of observers. and then just a year later, following, year bob mcdonald went on to become governor of virginia defeating his opponent by a whopping 17 points. that's a 23 point swinging points in just one year. and to put it mildly, this was seen as very bad news for democrats. just listen to how nbc opened its nightly news broadcast the day after the election. >> good evening, a year ago, we were talking about a sea change in american politics. tonight we are reporting a small change which could also be anonymous development for the year old obama administration. republicans were elected governor last night, two important states, but other than preferred both candidates to the democrats, were voters across the country last night trying to say something else? there is evidence of an angry electorate out there. >> that was not wrong. we remember what happened in the midterms in 2010, that night with brian williams referring to -- they were bob mcdonald and new

barack obama and nancy pelosi also back then passed an awful lot of legislation that quite frankly save the country from disaster. and certainly from going off an economic cliff. and then we turn around and got dragged into those midterms as well. democrats have to do a much better job of connecting their legislation to the real world and realize, to the aspirations and concerns of americans. they've been good at passing legislation. democrats have historically not been very good at selling that legislation, not good at the politics of that legislation. although i will say, lawrence, and i will say that biden has taken a lot of hits, as have democrats, about this -- but even if they had passed build back better and the infrastructure bill, i don't know that it would have made that much of a difference, quite frankly, in those results you just saw. in virginia. and history says that it may not have made that much of a difference, because the base of the party just is not energized. as well as the base of the republican parties. >> it seems that infrastructure is especially challenging fo

you know, barack obama and nancy pelosi also back then passed an awful lot of legislation that, quite frankly, saved this country from disaster, certainly from going off the economic cliff, and then we turn around and got drubbed in the midterms as well. i think democrats have to do a much better job of connecting their legislation to the real world and real lives and aspirations and concerns of americans. they've been very good at passing legislation. democrats historically have not been very good at selling that legislation. they've not been very good at the politics of the legislation, although i will say, lawrence, and i know biden has taken a lots of hits about this and democrats took a lot of hits about this, but even if they passed the build back better and the infrastructure bill, i don't think it would have made much difference in the election results you just saw in virginia, and history says that. it probably wouldn't make that much difference because the base of the party just isn't energized as well as the base of the republican party is. >> it seems infrastructure is esp

this is a county that has constantly voted for a democratic presidential candidate since barack obama but at the same time keeps elected a republican congressman. for all these reasons, we'll dive into the issues that matter here in washoe county. >> very hard for democrats to win a race without carrying washoe. finally shaquille brewster in duval county, florida. shaq, the endangered species, the swing county. tell us about duval. >> good morning, chuck. duval county, essentially jacksonville, florida, is a sprawling suburban area that is as purple as purple gets. it wasn't always that way. this is a traditionally republican stronghold that democrats flipped in 2018 and president biden won in 2020. now it's the source of a major battle between both political parties. republicans are trying to reverse the trend they've been seeing, pointing to issues like immigration, inflation, and the labor shortage, hoping moderate voters will end upcoming home, and democrats are pointing to congress and pleading with them to pass president biden's agenda saying inaction could threaten the trends t

obama and george soros had packed ballot boxes with fake ballot boxes from china, he left expletive filled messages for arizona secretary of state. saying she would hang from a tree. georgia real estate investor saw a presentation from really giuliani an election fired in georgia, he left a voice mail for the full and county elections director, telling him that he quote, better run, because he would be hung. or he would face the firing squad. a 42-year-old night staffer, who works at a youth treatment center in utah, he says his anger boiled over after he watched an election conspiracy event hosted by the my pillow guy. this utah man, the one that works at the youth treatment center, he message colorado's top election official and told her quote, i know where you sleep. i see you sleeping. be afraid, be very afraid. i hope you die. that was sent by a real person, whose find, -able traceable, raiders called him, writer spoke with nine of these, folks all but one of them were happy to go by record and by name, admitting to their cause, saying they believe they hadn't done anything wro

obama twice, you had donald trump right after that. how do we process all of this? >> yeah, this is a question i often get from students and try to remind them that i think we are part of a very long story and so this story of bright spots followed by darkness or bright spots together with darkness are a part of our long history in addition to the things you talked about in politics we could think about slavery and reconstruction and so these things tend to go together but i think it's important for us to use those bright spots to take them into find joy in them as we continue the work. it's important we don't get bogged down in the dark spots we celebrate the bright spots when they happen because it's necessary to hold on to that kind of thing when we need to continue to work and doing the voter registration and turnout and fighting against the redistricting we were just hearing about or figuring out how not to get covid and can remember those good times. >> i just want to end on a positive note. what does it mean for a howard alumni

at the same time, we often hear president biden talk about how barack obama chose him to be the front man on the recovery act years ago and how pivotal it was. he didn't choose the vice president do that for infrastructure. pete buttigieg is part of that. mitch landrieu has been brought in, others. he did give her volatile topics like immigration and voting rights, which right now don't have the votes to move in legislative ways. so those are all magnets for more criticism from the right. so she has a portfolio that makes her perhaps drag in more criticism, and she's trying to not outshine the president, and at the same time she is struggling with that noise. they say she's going to focus on working, she's going to focus on a good relationship with president biden. could he do more to help her? perhaps he could. >> david, you seemed to imply earlier when we were talking off camera, you think it's harder to be a candidate of color today running for office than ten years ago. >> absolutely, chuck, for the reasons we're talking about right now. look at the statements released from the wh

president barack obama appointed jerome powell to the federal reserve board of governors in 2011, and in 2017, donald trump appointed jerome powell to be the chair of the federal reserve. president biden announced that he will renominate jerome powell to serve a second four-year term as chair of the federal reserve. >> some will no doubt question why i'm renominating joy when he was choice of a republican predecessor. why am i not picking a democrat? why am i not picking fresh blood or taking the fed in a different direction? put directly, at this moment both of both enormous potential and enormous uncertainty for our economy, we need stability and independence at the federal reserve. >> at least three democratic senators, including elizabeth warren have announce they'd will vote against the powell nomination, but that is unlikely to change the outcome in the senate since a majority of democrats and almost every republican senator voted to confirm powell four years ago when the senate vote was 84-13. today jerome powell became president biden's field general in the fight against infla

barack obama was a master at that. and there have been democrats up and down the ballot who have done that well over the last 20 or 30 years, but there's always a bunch who don't seem to be able to do it and they lapse into a kind of technocratic policy driven lingo. especially at a time like this where the country is on fire with anxiety, fear, grievance, anger, polarization and panic still for a lot of people, what steve was talking about, the lack of control over our lives that a lot of people feel in the wake of the pandemic and of everything that's happened over the last couple of years. if you can't speak in that kind of emotional language that hits at the psychic solar plexus of the country, you are at a huge disadvantage because republicans in their exploitive way, are really good at that. and that fear. if democrats don't have a way to talk about it, they will lose next year no matter how successful the biden economic agenda is. they'll be at a huge disadvantage in the midterms because that's where a lot of th

last time the leaders met together was june 2016 during president barack obama's last year in white house. while relations, some new problems, new challenges have emerged from a.p. reporting, canada's justin trudeau arrived in washington with concerns about buy american provisions in the president's proposed $1.85 trillion social services plan. mexico's priorities heading into the summit were to obtain concrete advances on immigration, a more equitable access to covid-19 vaccines. we're back with ashley parker and rick stengel. just set the stage for the trilateral meeting which is happening, i think, in a few minutes. >> sure. so, you know, president biden, just to go back a little bit, when he took office, one of the things he was determined to do was repair relationships with allies around the globe and kind of declare america is back. and he was met with some understandable skepticism, in part from leaders who had seen the past four years under former president trump and as his administration went on by some of his own actions such as unilaterally withdrawing from afghanistan. so, you

and we evidenced that all of the time, record-breaking turnout for barack obama in 2008. what was the result of that? we restored the u.s. economy. record-breaking of that? record breaking turnout in 2008. we got the affordable care act done. health care for 20 million american citizens. never been done in over 100 some odd years but they got a brother from chicago to get it done. if you understand what i am talking about. so when the people vote the people win. we must tell our story and not get so lost in the fighting with the progressives, this and that. what we know is this, build back better one and two will transform the american economy across the board. will transform people's lives. will breathe life and hope into folks who historically lost hope. but if you keep following the republicans, then you going to get hell. look at what's going on in pennsylvania, jonathan. look at what's going on in pennsylvania. the republicans in pennsylvania have issued subpoenas for 9 million registered voters for their driver's license, their social security, their email address,

>> i remember after the affordable care act passed that barack obama owed nancy pelosi flowers for the rest of her life, and i think joe biden joins that now with pelosi's ability to get the votes. this was a really tough passage. we saw all of the division within house democrats, those who didn't want to vote on this until the build back better was actually linked and didn't want to vote on the early infrastructure, the hard infrastructure bill until this bill was going to pass as well. there was a lot of dissent amongst progressives in her caucus. she had to deal with moderates in her caucus at various stages. it was not a pretty process, but she got it, and she got both the hard infrastructure bill voted on and she got the soft infrastructure bill voted on. and we've always said no one can count votes like nancy pelosi, and even when it was looking rough for her, democrats in the white house and on capitol hill were reminding us when she gets these votes through, people won't remember what it looked like getting these votes through. they'll just remember that they passed. now of cou

barack obama wins and that's the end of the world as republicans know it. there is no way, two years later the tea party. . >> that happens. >> it's the way it works and it goes back and forth. look at wikipedia, people. >> exactly. >> back and forth. >> especially this century, we have seen a wave of 2006 and '14 and we saw a wave in '18. this thing is going back and forth with huge swings. every time this happens, people think they are dead and buried in decades. >> i know we got elected in '94. we talked about the permanent realliancement. i remember u.s. news with buzzards circling around. >> we are going to find the next big thing out there some where. >> parties always find a way and so it's interesting. but willie, anyway, now we blink and the democrats who lost virginia and a lot of other races in virginia almost lost in new jersey, we are not getting anything done and pass the historic infrastructure pill that spike the fact that people in the house are allowing their heads to blow off their should ers. it's a bipartisan bill. last night or this mo

. >> barack obama was a tough campaigner and bill clinton was a tough campaigning. mario cuomo, he goes after reporters, that's a stupid question. i mean there had been -- bobby kennedy, a tough, tough liberal. where do those tough liberals gone? >> it's a great question, joe, one of the things that disturbs me is only the lincoln project, former republicans plus one best selling author, don winslow, who were throwing up these web ads seeing which ones went viral. they were tough ads. they should be posting hundreds and dozens at least of very tough negative ads online, see which ones go viral and soo which one of the attack messages work and they can let the market decide if it gets 20 million down loads. they know that's a pretty good tough message. they're not doing that because they're thinking of communications in yesterday's terms. if we get child care, let's go to child care center, have the president go there and do a photo-op. that's yesterday. they need to rethink this and jen psaki is terrific and they have other smart people in the white house. they need

also when we think about you know barack obama feeding jay-z, that's coming full circle. obama was made president because of a guy like a jay-z opening up space for young white people to believe that a highly authoratative black man can speak intelligently and black man can be a leader and white fox can follow a person like that. that created a political space for obama to manage and escalate himself and to elevate the ladder of success. in both of that census opened performances for black people in this country. >> i want to ask you, you started talking about the power of music, i can speak from my own experience as a white kid in the suburbs listening to hip-hop, it started with a good beat and all of a sudden you are listening to the lyrics of nwa or public enemy and you are hearing the stories of what's happening in their lives and community and you are listening and paying attention and understanding. what was the power of that early hip-hop as it started top move from the inner cities and spill out into the suburbs and as you say open some space for other people to

and michelle obama, george w. bush. our most recent president wasn't there. bill clinton is still recovering from his recent hospitalization, but his wife, former secretary of state hillary clinton was there as well. powell received heartfelt eulogies. >> as i grew to know him, i came to view colin powell as a figure who almost transcended time. his service to the country he loved will long survive his passing. >> i've ahead it asked, are we still making his kind? i believe the answer to that question is up to us. to honor his legacy, i hope we do more than consign him to the history books. i hope we are a nation where we are still making his kind. >> listen real carefully and you might hear our savior say, colin, welcome home, and here is your starry crown. >> powell was 84 years old and will be remembered as one of the greatest public servants of our time. all in with chris hayes starts now. >>> tonight on "all in", wow, that's a biggie. >> the end of the pandemic, at least as it relates to the united states is
