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

bush, bill clinton, and barack obama who, in fact, he launched his affordable care act in kansas where theodore roosevelt spoke and, of course, john brown, for that site. but roosevelt is a nonpartisan figure that every president has invoked in some stage. some more than others. but every single one is used. >> if -- i've always thought that if hollywood movies had really been invented a few years earlier, been a thing in 1900, theodore roosevelt would have been the perfect action hero. he would have eclipsed john wane and tom cruise and all of those marvel heroes, right? >> well, i mean, he certainly has the charisma of a hollywood actor. if you see him in films, my students all think robin williams is theodore roosevelt from the movie "a night in the museum." but there's so many films about theodore roosevelt that include that rough rider image, the cowboy on horseback. so, yeah, absolutely. and the charisma, he knew -- roosevelt -- the power of motion pictures. and he tried to capture that essence in many ways. >> and he was a man of the tomb. it was such a period of change. >> the

this is barack obama. meanwhile glenn youngkin on his own was outside at a place called short pump in the middle of a field and he got 3,000 people to his event on the same day. so clearly the enthusiasm is, they are running away with the enthusiasm. but one last point, let's not lose sight of the fact that with those characters that went and did their false flag operations outside of the youngkin bus, they were all virginia democrat senate work for the state -- and several them work for the state party. the state democratic party right now has one purpose and that's getting terry mcauliffe elected. >> harris: that's so interesting because i think kennedy, you asked, do we know if the mcauliffe campaign knew about that before? that's fascinating information that charlie hurt just injected into this conversation. we will move on. coming up, they may talk a good game on climate change but their actions state are a very different story. riding around in a massive motorcade before jetting off to the claimant s

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,

doors with barack obama and to the public he would say, were not going to increase the debt ceiling, we are going to stand strong. and next thing you know, here we come with a debt ceiling increase again. this led to the tea party takeover, right? in my viewpoint it seems like republicans are a lot more willing to reach out and discuss possible collaborations with the democrats. but the democrats, as they have become infiltrated with the far left, the socialist, collectivist types, they don't want to have any type of discussions, rational or otherwise, with republicans. and look, look at the squad on capitol hill. that underscores my point. host: there is a viewer who makes this analogy. she says, the republican party is the same as the reagan party today. would you agree? guest: maybe. honestly, without doing a little research to flush out my opinion. host: let's go to danville, virginia. you are on with cheryl chumley. good morning, go ahead. caller: yes, good morning. pedro, i hope you will just let me say what i'm going to say. this is what i'm saying. you know, if we as america

obama was divisive and set strong feelings for and against him. when he rested all obamacare, which allowed for publicans have a problem with a lot of other people felt they impacted them in a good way for gave them something. joe biden has not done that so far. the things he's passing and working on, even this small victory they had this week passing more infrastructure, fees aren't impacting the things that are concerning americans right now. supply chain crisis whether it inflation or rising gas prices or problems of the water off massive problems of the poor, these are trending badly under biden administration is not addressing things that are going to make it better for americans so i think they are going to punish them. kennedy: vice president, you have to look out for yourself especially if you're thinking about the little, your own political future but you also have to look out for the president you served and this administration. obviously the vice president is doing bad right now, force the president and poll numbers can always go up so

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

>> look, bill clinton did and barack obama did. historical precedent for democrats moving back to the middle. i was so struck, bill, that biden had many opportunities to pass that infrastructure bill to get a bipartisan deal and live up to his campaign promises of trying to unite the country and at every opportunity he essentially sided with the progressives in trying to hold his own agenda hostage to a more ambitious spending proposal that is turning out to be less and less popular by the day. so this is an opportunity for democrats to have a course correction. the results not just in virginia but in new jersey for goodness sake, 18 point state for democrats now very close in that governor's race. it is the suburbs. the moderate minded suburban voters that are revolting from where the democrats are at this point. it is showing up across the state after state. >> dana: all that you write and say over this coming week as you analyze it all for us. >> bill: do we have time to run it? kevin mccarthy, his initial react talking about th

barack obama talked about shovel-ready jobs that took forevers for the shovels to show up. that is the same problem with this infrastructure bill. you know, i think broadly people wanted to support infrastructure but, this bill is just, the portion which is not even close to half of it, that is actual infrastructure has so many strings attached that make it, made it really impossible for nearly all republicans in the house to support. then when you look at following it on with build back better, it being a delivery vehicle, they're on to the fact that the word infrastructure is popular. now they're calling it social infrastructure or human infrastructure. it really is bernie's agenda. that is why he is so passionate about it but socialist policies all over have the same result. they deliver power for the people making the promises but they deliver economic failure and barren shelves, stockouts problems for the people that are supposed to be benefit by it. we don't need bread lines. we need the market to function. we're about to suffer a lethal overdose of government. we nee

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

well, barack obama wants you to think so. >> parts of the world are becoming more dangerous to live in, triggering new migration patterns worsening conflict around the globe. it's one of the reasons why the u.s. pentagon and other u.s. agencies are saying that climate change poses a national security threat for the u.s. and for everyone else. >> laura: if the parents of virginia couldn't save the mccullough campaign but now we are saying that obama is determined to save the planet? it's all hot air and mirrors. we are going to provide you our own anger mangled translation service. it obama is trying to stay relevant and i'm sure add to his mega netflix fortune by writing this whole wave, but to really cash in his friend has to get the federal government to keep the gravy train going. >> i am convinced that president biden's build back better bill will be historic and a huge plus for u.s. action on climate change. both of us have been constrained in large part by the fact that one of our two major parties has decided not only to sit on the sidelines, but express active hostility towards

obama, larry summers has been talking about inflation for months and a lot of people worry when you take an inflationary overheated economy and you have $3 trillion which is what these 2 billion bills would do, 3 trillion in government spending you will make it worse and there's a lot of economic experts that say pass or not pass it, inflation will continue well into 2022. >> let's break this down, long-term and short-term, that is definitely true 17 nobel prize-winning a economist are those that we talked about doing things to allow americans to get back to work, putting money in their pockets and making childcare more affordable will help with inflation in the long run, there is a short-term transitory the ones that we are already seeing slow down a little bit but very mindful because that's impacting americans. that is a consequence of the economic effects of the pandemic. there are so many things that are happening in our economy, distortion, disruption, things in our supply chain that are affecting crisis, a clearly direct consequence of the pandemic which is why the best thing

so barack obama went to virgini to get his old friend terry mccall elected governor. so he split the field of his private jet and flew to glasgow sscotland and while he was ther he immediately started slinging the clichÉs. rg has presidents speech and clichÉs which is what dumb depeople do here's what he said since were in the emerald isle is it let me quote the bard william shakespeare. >> ireland scotland in shakespeare's a national bard o england out of scotland.of but whatever more clichÉs the real point of obama showing up was to remind everyone that there is a silver lining that got to hear from him. >> even though i'm not required to attend some wasn't it like this anymore, old app habits di hard. and with the issue at hand is a health of our planet, and the world our children and grandchildren when it willr inherit, then you will have a hard time keeping me away. it comes to claimant, time really is running out. vote the issue. vote like your life depends on it because it does. new vote democrat or you will die.e. republicans on a tray that it seems to work

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

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

obama, will be here, the former vice president al gore, is here. the u.s. in contrast to the trump administration is playing an extremely high, very public role in underscoring how critically important this issue is right now. as you know, the trump administration withdrew from the paris climate accords, and when they had these kinds of cop summits earlier during the trump administration, the u.s. had relatively a low-level profile. they didn't even talk much about the critical importance of dealing with climate change. that has changed dramatically right now. we'll see if the house and senate get together and pass the legislation on climate that the president wants, because that will be significant as well. >> bill, as we look at all of this, it comes back to yet again incredibly important issues facing not just the united states but the world that has been politicized over a number of years. this is not new. coming into this, is there a sense that things are starting to change? is there a sense that warnings, like we just heard from the u.n. secr

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

the, about culture work with barack obama in virginia using plan youngkin, raising these issues, that was on top of a lot of between criticism including terry mcauliffe thing glenn youngkin was running a race campaign from the lincoln project as a white supremacist and i think this james was leading to ridiculous things in los angeles. larry elder, african-american radio commentator hailed as a candidate white supremacy. same thing in virginia, the, first african-american woman to win a statewide office, she's hailed as an advocate for white supremacy. it shows more they don't have an argument and they want to bully people into silence and i think the public is responding. i think most of the public that saw the mcdonald's ceo statement would have the reaction that monai and kim had talking about responsibility and also saying you can't say that and i think most people sympathize with that and they see the people bully offstage. paul: kim, any signs the democrats will move off of this? >> the fact that they are actively saying we are not really engaged in critical race theory and oh,

his figures for this time in his presidency much worse than barack obama's the last time a democrat was in the white house. and if we look at the recent races, that is the virginia governorship, also in newjersey, the democrats performed much worse than was expected. what's going on? the presidential approval ratings are like the stock market, subject to volatility, and i would be careful not to overinterpret day—to—day fluctuations. but, frankly, they're not that volatile. there's only one trajectory for biden, and that's downward. look, we've become much more polarised and in a hyper polarised political culture, there's a ceiling on how high a president can rise in approval ratings. you know, as for the gubernatorial election in virginia, the election was largely determined by local concerns about education rather than national concerns. it appears to me that the central issue in that race was education, whether it be the school closings during covid—i9 or the teaching of critical race theory. those were concerns specific to virginia and less about what's going on in washington,

. >> yeah, i mean, one of the challenges of being president, whether you are donald trump or barack obama or joe biden is you are actually seen as the leader of the country. if things go well you get the advantage, if things go badly you get the punishment, people are looking out, you know, kamala harris, to her credit, why back when she was visiting vietnam, had this cryptic comment where she said, you know, you better be ordering your christmas gifts early because she had been briefed on the logistics supply chain problem. the problem they have got is they didn't do anything about it buttigieg who could be responsible took two months off for parental lead by the time you cabinet manage almost unimaginable. he hasn't solved anything. the secretary of energy asked about what she was going to do about gasoline prices broke up laughing as if she were kamala harris. people look as the this total lack of ability to get anything done and they blame the president. that's just how life works in a free society. you elect them. they either deliver or you decide not to re-elect them. steve: sure. u

doors with barack obama and to the public he would say, were not going to increase the debt ceiling, we are going to stand strong. and next thing you know, here we come with a debt ceiling increase again. this led to the tea party takeover, right? in my viewpoint it seems like republicans are a lot more willing to reach out and discuss possible collaborations with the democrats. but the democrats, as they have become infiltrated with the far left, the socialist, collectivist types, they don't want to have any type of discussions, rational or otherwise, with republicans. and look, look at the squad on capitol hill. that underscores my point. host: there is a viewer who makes this analogy. she says, the republican party is the same as the reagan party today. would you agree? guest: maybe. honestly, without doing a little research to flush out my opinion. host: let's go to danville, virginia. you are on with cheryl chumley. good morning, go ahead. caller: yes, good morning. pedro, i hope you will just let me say what i'm going to say. this is what i'm saying. you know, if we as america

just ten years ago when barack obama passed the bailout for $900 billion, it was a lot of money. so they are moving forward without the cbo score, they are going to live with the consequences of passing something and not knowing what's in it, because people will find out eventually what is in it. in nancy pelosi's words. >> martha: we are just getting all of this as we went to air moments ago, i want to clarify, you made exactly the right to point a moment ago. they are going to vote on the infrastructure bill first, which progressives did not want. now we are learning that the vote on build back better is just going to be on the rule, it's not on the actual bill. so you're going to see a separation here which is exactly what you are getting out. quick thought on that. >> i'm curious about the back room dealing went on here. there was a red line on not moving forward up the cbo score and they've been holding this up for weeks. and after the virginia election, we are saying we are going to move full steam ahead. certainly there was something that was done here and now of course we

obviously when barack obama was the face of it, it went into overdrive and you began to see this sort of massive peeling away of majority white for things like action on climate change, which used to be not thatat political, partisan or racialized. i think now what you're i seein in terms of the sort of red state white resistance to vaccination is more the core -- as george would put it in his book,as the don't trail on me freedom from government is inherently suspect. which has been a thread in our society for a long time but did not capture the sort of visceral kind of identity fused caption it does now until government became thern one who could take away youred freedom to do whater you needed to do to feel better than the undeserving. >> in other words, there was no massive resistance to the polio vaccine. >> iyeah, i mean, at one level the vaccine story -- so, george, you talk about these sort of four american narratives and the way -- they're not the causal predicate, for balkanizing the country. there aree stories these different groups tell themselve to be. on the flip side of

when barack obama said what do you want me to do wave a magic wand to bring back manufacturing jobs? donald trump focused on that and tried to make it happen. they're doing the opposite. >> harris: secretary granholm we would like to see the magic wand. "saturday night live" faced feedback. >> suicide by cop was elected -- was elected as virginia's first black female lieutenant governor. this is actually a win for democrats. nothing will get republicans to support gun control faster than this picture. >> harris: posted the photo in response to criticism from hill. after they upset democrats in virginia last week hill tweeted it's not the messaging, folks. the country loves white supremacy. team winsome responded with the photo we beg to differ. >> all the white supremacists who voted for a black lieutenant female governor. the laughter in this club. me as a supporter of the second amount cares whether it's a black or white woman. they are the ones being racist about it. we a grateful for the service of someone like ms. sears and speak the truth. now they say she is speaking white wor

bush hundred 20006, and he said there had been a thumping of this party and barack obama percent in 2010, there had been a shellacking but present biden deflected these questions whether or not he was responsible pretty. reporter: we're just talking about the importance of the white house press corps, that room being full of people who are able to ask tough questions is somewhat scandalous and that the only questions about this usually important border policy will only ask by peter ducey and david - and there should be dozens of reporters asking these tough instead of what we suffer people like is like what can we do to help the democratic party going forward pretty. >> they did asked do you bear personal responsibility and present biden said well yes fix it whenever and so just sort of well i don't know the infrastructure built it would help or not. >> i don't thank you so much on the part of present vitamin there also have not been the same type of tenacious question asking and asking a question without tough follow-up is not really that notable is really only one instance in the entir

they did not rebound as well as barack obama did. you combine that with solid turnout above presidential level numbers for glenn youngkin in rural areas and that was a politically deadly combination for terry mcauliffe. judy: we could show our viewers a graphic that shows glenn youngkin pulled in 53% of suburban voters in virginia compared to former president trump, 45%, just last november. james, looking at these results of your party, what went wrong? james: what went wrong was stupid wokeness. look at buffalo, minneapolis, seattle, washington. this defund the police lunacy, take abraham lincoln's name off of schools, people see that. it has a suppressive effect across the country. some of these people need to go to a woke detox center. it is language people don't use and there is a backlash and frustration at that. you are right, suburbanites in northern virginia and northern new jersey pulled away a bit. you never ran any ads against biden. what he did was let the democrats hold the pin and watch the grenade go off. we have to ch
