between barack obama and donald trump. you can hardly have more contrast in the way they speak and what they stand for in who they are. and i wonder -- i'm eager to see if he takes on the new administration. and its policies, its failures, its bumbling, its -- at times dangerous forays into foreign policy, i wonder what he'll say. >> the headlines of the paper tomorrow, do you think he'll do it? you know this guy, this president. >> i don't think the president will use this platform to deliver a political speech. >> will he take indirect shots at the current president? >> as eugene pointed out, i think everybody, particularly supporters of the president, is sitting on the edge of their seat waiting to hear from the man who has been silent. >> josh, you experted this. you have to give me more than the observation here. tell me the insight. how come no prerelease of the text tonight. what is that about? >> i think this is something he's been working on over the weekend, he's been working on himself. >> is that why it is not

barack obama's tell-all. where was the left media there? i went to the harvard kennedy school. when the harvard of all places, there is such biases against conservatives. when freaking harvard says their leftist bias, that means something. >> kat: allegedly wanting to use solely russia's communication gear. in effect, normally you work with the existing administratio administration. >> carrie: the differences is that barack obama took the trump win incredibly personally. the entire regime was turned against him. >> eric: let me add something. very important for you said this is different. general hayden, former director of the nsa under barack obama was on cnn and was asked, did jared kushner, based on what you know, all these allegations, did you do anything illegal? general hayden said unequivocally no, he didn't do anything illegal. it wouldn't have advised him to do that. we have the left-leaning media and people jumping on that bandwagon saying look at all this stuff. ben mentioned smoke. sometimes there

the one thing that was said about barack obama's speeches is that they we re barack obama's speeches is that they were fa ntastically barack obama's speeches is that they were fantastically long on the vision thing, and incredibly short on follow—through. this speech will bejudged by the on follow—through. this speech will be judged by the follow—through that comes, notjust by donald trump, but more particularly by the arab nations, who have made very big pledges today, here in riyadh. let's see what happens next. ]ohn, many thanks, jon sopel in saudi arabia. now with the latest general election news, let's cross live to huw edwards, who's in edinburgh. here in edinburgh, the scottish party leaders are getting ready for their big campaign debate. it starts in 90 minutes' time. it's expected to include exchanges on the snp‘s demand for a second independence referendum. but today's campaigning in england and wales has been dominated by reaction to the conservative plans for reforming social care and the winter fuel benefit for pensioners. the party says it will not re—think t

here is more with the 44th president, barack obama. barack obama: i have been grateful for the french people and the work we did together when i was work -- president of the united states. i am not planning to get involved in many elections, but the french election is very important to the future of france and the values we care so much about. the success of france matters to the entire world. i have admired the campaign emmanuel macron has run. he has to do for liberal values. he put forward vision for the important moment france place in germany and around the world. he appeals to people's hopes, not their fears, and i enjoyed speaking to emmanuel recently to hear about his independent movement and vision for the people of france. i know you face many challenges, and i want all of my friends to know how much i am rooting for your success because of how important this election is. i want you to know i am supporting emmanuel macron to lead you forward. steve: that was barack obama pledging his support for emmanuel macron. will it make

"the new york times" is reporting that just before f.b.i. director james comey was fired, he asked the d.o.j. for more resources. you know, this was an investigation that was clearly about russia's meddling. what do you make of the latest developments? >> well, every time i turn on the news today, there's a new development. it's kind of hard to keep up with everything going on, right? so this is what i would say t

was barack obama's fault because it was ba rack obama who barack obama's fault because it was barack obama who give general flint security clearance in the first place. ok, first of all barack obama fired general flynn. secondly, years went by since that happened, so there had to be a new vetting process. third, the reason that president trump and his team seem to be giving his dad general flynn was so loyal to president trump. i have a lot of friends from high school who are loyal to me but that doesn't meani who are loyal to me but that doesn't mean i put them in as national—security adviser. there are a lot of reasons to question president trump waking up this morning than blaming president obama for something that was clearly his decision and after they had been warned by the acting attorney general of the united states that this was a big security breach, but he had lied to the vice president, lied to government officials, he actually left this man in his position for 18 days. you will be interviewing sally yates shortly in the congressional hearings. what is the congressional

president barack obama inspired me in the same way. my life changed in 2008 because a young candidate was fired up and ready to go and said "yes, we can." without barack obama i might still be sitting on the couch eating doritoes and watching sports [ laughter ] president obama embodies the definition of courage offered by ernest hemmingway, "grace under pressure." from the first days to the last, the president con ssistently pu the national interests above his own interests while resisting cynicism that all too often has a system that encourages it. he comprehends health care reform with the first order of business knowing that it would cost him and the party politically and he continued the fight that was wamged in the kennedy administration and my uncle teddy fought for 50 years in the senate and did what no president has p been able to do in 74 years in passing the affordable care act. [ applause ] we saw this week that it is a lot easier to criticize and dismantle, and president obama had the koushlg to govern responsibly and the

and then, barack obama had basically dismissed it. somehow, the law he signed stop the lawsuit from -- stopped the lawsuit from going forward. i wonder if c-span could discuss that topic and ask mr. klein what transpired, how he was treated, and what connection it has to be snowden whistleblowing? and this is constitutional law. i had hoped to ask the guest if it was constitutional for barack obama to do what he did. you just said congress cannot change laws to denied people the right to speech. these people were denied their day in court. host: we always appreciate suggestions. all of our segments are available online at c-span.org. joan is next in rochester, minnesota. democrat. caller: good morning. i wondered about the author of the book just on before, i would like to know the difference differenceolitical on topics and character assassination, which is what happens when this information is about people. hearing everyone has rights as long as they do not infringe on other people's rights. people have the right to privacy , and th

i was with barack obama a year ago of welcomes. i was with barack obama a yearago and of welcomes. i was with barack obama a year ago and it couldn't have been more different. donald trump gave it — gave more different. donald trump gave it —— gave an interview a year ago in which he said he things is lamb hates us. but there was none of that on show, as frank has discussed. there was a lot of interviews he has about what the new relationship might mean. —— nvqs years. that said, the problems have travelled on the plane with donald trump and there was an extraordinary reply from the white house, some might say, saying the president has always on the importance of dealing with russia and james comey created unnecessary pressure “— russia and james comey created unnecessary pressure —— pressure on our ability to engage. that brings up our ability to engage. that brings up questions about obstruction of justice. it was being reported that james comey might give evidence on wednesday in open session but that won't happen now until after the president gets back. that w

a barack obama was an expert at rhetoric. personifying integrity and all that, but he is a very weak leader. what we need in france is a very strong leader. i did not think his victory speech was particularly good, which assured me he is not the grand, eloquent person that barack obama was. if he can deliver is the point. we have heard about internal reforms, and he definitely needs to reform europe and get germany on board. i've been saying for the past couple of days, he beat one woman in the french election. that is marine le pen. it will be harder to beat the next woman, which is angela merkel. he definitely needs to do thrown her in europe, get her to support his agenda rather than have him support her agenda, such as it is. that is what he needs to do in europe. peter: what do you make of all of that? emmanuelle: i want to come back to what you were saying, that he defended a lot of left values. he is not seen is that in france. there was a survey this week aimed at 60% -- saying the 60% of french people did not want hi

no one is going to impeach barack obama. the possibility of impeachment now exists for donald trump. it's unlikely, but lawyers are paid to worry and it's appropriate for them to two some preliminary research, it doesn't mean he's going to be impeached. he should also have a personal lawyer, hiring a lawyer doesn't mean you're guilty of anything, but this is a real situation, there is a special counsel investigating donald trump's campaign including his behavior, including some pretty darn good evidence that trump ihimself committed obstruction of justice, of course he should have a lawyer. >> we should not even get into a conversation that there is no "there" there. there is some "there" there already. whether or not these are impeachable offenses are different. but there is "there" there with flynn. he was approved as the national security advisor. he was, you know, already kind of compromised by his illegal activities. there's "there" there from what the president said himself about how he has dealt with both flynn and wi

and you know barack obama went eight years without anything like this happening. this is 120 days. i mean so -- yes, impeachment is premature. >> why is that? >> but this is not just idle talk at this point. there is reason to be very concerned about the propriety of what went on in this white house. >> absolutely but that's -- you know i think we are saying the same thing in the sense i think before you can really have a fruitful discussion on impeachmenten a removal of the president of the united states or any person we had the same deference we give to people not the cht united states you should as a prosecutor right to say what did they investigate what are the facts? he is not immune from being criticized or being speculate the having done something wrong but neither is the common person having the decency to say let's have investigation first. >> i keep thinking about just how rough it must be for people working in the white house as right now as you said there are a lot of good people want to serve the country appear believe in the legislative agenda want things to go well.

. >> unlike barack obama i was actually born in kenya. i move today paris where i grew up and when i was 17, i decide today move to the united states for college going from paris, france, not to paris, texas, but to houston, texas and i decided to stay in america and write about paris and other western nations. a >> how did you end up in houston? >> basically my parents went to the university in america. actually my roots are an american decent. my parents met at colombia in new york. that influenced on the education available in the american institutions and i wanted to broaden my horizons and move to the united states for college but also the first time i came to the united states i was 8te year's old, i came to california. i was with my father who became a profess or here and fell in love with the united states and going back to france i kept thinking about america, culture, history, politics, literature, arts but definitely when i finished high school i was keen on moving to the united states. >> why did you stay?hy >> there are so ma

barack obama never in his entire term had numbers this good. nor did he see a stock market this good. for african-american workers, the unemployment rate was over 9%. it's now below 8%. hispanic workers a year ago. this is something stretching across the entire economy as a direct result of donald trump being president. as he said, this will keep happening and we'll keep winning. these numbers will continue to improve because we have a lot more time with him being president in front of us. liz: manufacturing added another 6,000 jobs. but jeff, remember when president trump said this just last summer in 2016? >> he's going to bring all these jobs back? how exactly is he going to do that? what are you going to do? there is no answer to it. he just says i'm going to negotiate a better deal. how exactly are you going to negotiate that? what magic wand do you have? liz: has no answer to it, what magic wand do you have. the u.s. added 37,000 jobs in the first report. what do you make of president trump making statements like that, jeff. >> he clearly

with early endorsements from ted and caroline kennedy, barack obama became the first black president of the united states. his family once again recognizes obama with this year's prestigious profile in courage award. >> president obama brought in a new generation as president kennedy did, and transformed this country. >> reporter: from ending more than 50 years of sanctions against cuba to clean air and health care reform. >> we are not a nation that scales back its aspirations. >> reporter: former republican presidents gerald ford and george h.w. bush have received the award, but obama is the first democratic president. >> usually as a president moves from politics into history americans tend to appreciate him more even if he was very controversial at the time. >> reporter: valerie jarrett was obama's senior adviser. >> he was able to soar above a lot of the kind of toxic rhetoric that you hear in washington, and by every single indicator, he's moved our country forward. >> reporter: but now that his signature achievements are challenged by a new administration -- >> make no mistake

you might thing of that in the way of barack obama with the ability to overtake health care in 2008 as the hillary clinton was the frontrunner and that went to barack obama later on. >> what is the caucus? >> the caucus is the older format and you have people coming into a community center, library, gym, and supposedly talking about the candidates and having a grass root democracy. the people came there with their preferences firm. it is a way to socialize with your neighbors and perhaps through that process. it is very drawn out. >> does the system work? >> does the system work? >> it is probably better than anything we can think of or get pasted. it brings in different voices so you get the voters voice through the primary. the caucus is attracting more from the actvists or the people intensely involved in politics. the elite endorsements that governors or senators or members of the house make to give a voice to those individuals. we get a lot of different voices that come into the process. it doesn't always produce a smooth result but it does produce a result that probably taps into
