he pivoted quickly to attack barack obama. do you think that he views michelle obama as, i don't know, off limits or something? >> oh, yes. michelle obama is off limits from the way i understand it. and from what i've been told for many, many months, maybe even over a year, that michelle obama is the one that's off limits. but at the same time, i want to go back a little bit to when barack obama was president, towards the end, towards the very end, the day after the election or a couple days after the election when president-elect donald trump came to the white house and barack obama hosted him. they talked. it was very surprising. i remember being in the oval office, i was a pool that day, when donald trump was in the oval office with barack obama, and it was very cordial. donald trump was very thankful -- i mean, they stayed -- they overstayed the visit and everything was fine, even michelle obama and melania trump were together for longer periods of time. there was a congeniality. there was a friendship, we thought, that wa

obama: right. but i will tell you this, if you don't change of the incentive structures and the underlying dynamics, then we will continue to see these problems. good people will burn out and get discouraged. and voters will continue to be frustrated. what it does is leave a vacuum for those who garner attention through the most divisive, controversial, outlandish statements to win. people ask me often, what surprised me most about the presidency? it is the degree to which the united dates underwrites the international order. it is not always in the obvious ways. but if there is a problem around the world, people do not call callw, they do not beijing. they call washington. even our adversaries expect us to solve problems and expect us to keep things running. when you start getting dysfunction in washington, which is difficult for decisions to get made, and policy making to run in an orderly process. what is one of our greatest assets, which is an extraordinary civil service, right, career staff, s

obama's eight years in office. one thing that you overlooked was the criminal use of the irs to shut down -- >> laura: that was on the list. lois lerner. give me a break. >> he said no one was indicted. it's like saying i should go on mount rushmore because i didn't rob banks. that's not really something to really boast about, to say no one was indicted. >> laura: has the nobel committee ever been the same since president obama won the nobel prize? >> no. >> laura: that was amazing. >> douglas macarthur, he deserved the nobel prize and they never got it. >> laura: thanks so much. president trump sending clear messages to mueller's team. in a wide-ranging interview, he addressed paul manafort, roger stone, jerome corsi. he is saying that we are in a mccarthy era. with regard to manafort, saying "i wouldn't take it off the table. why when i take it off the table?" here to discuss, joe digenova, richard goodstein, dan bongino. digenova, the president talking parted with manafort. a little premature? >> yes, of course.

president obama gets republicans going. the main thing is if you look at what is happening with the resistance, the rhetoric on the left has been so angry against president trump and his supporters it is like what they want to see on tuesday, revenge of the elite in 2016 but trump supporters hear the hatred directed at them, the language, the extreme language at them, that will mobilize them, don't want the elites back in power, we like the way this is going and don't like the way the snooty people constantly accuse us for wanting a better life. shannon: funny to hear steve talking about snooty people in a british accent. we got to leave it there, thank you. migrants in the caravan from honduras file the lawsuit against donald trump claiming violation of constitutional rights. before he made any official policy changes. >> the most ridiculous system in the world. it is obsolete but that is not the problem. the problem is it is a stupid system and it doesn't work. shannon: we are looking at the legality. night court is back.

that is how barack obama won. and the democrats in the red districts won, and the difference -- there were some turnout differences the main reason barack obama won florida, and hillary lost it, he won independence she lost it. the best way to do that is with a progressive message. you can be progressive and win over voters as long as you do it in a way that is an inclusive progressivism. populace in orientation but acknowledges some although voters in rural areas, people who voted for obama, but we are open to their point of view. if you can do that in a non-cond sending way, you can win. we have the model because before this electoral disaster we did one two electoral landslides with barack obama, who was able to put together the coalition. the next candidate as well. >> first of all, i want to say i'm first looking for some republican with enough balls to run against donald trump in the a primary.

there is only so much that i think obama can do without starting to rally republicans. >> obama also is that he's never had coat tails and never helped lift up younger people in the party. if you look at stacey abrams in florida, those are younger leaders in the democratic party if they can win state-wide in big battle ground states if they talk about them in different ways. there is no question that president obama would love to be helpful in that regard. i think as gloria says, he can help or hurt. he will drive a lot of republicans away. >> how much of these races are really about president trump? >> in the state? everything. if ever there were a mid-term election that was a reverent um on a president, this is it. donald trump wants it to be about donald trump. but he made a choice and his choice is he is going for the senate and not going for the house. you can't do the same thing to win the senate, which is to give the red meat to a republican. you need to be more moderate to win in the suburban districts in the house. his play right now is for the senate because he thinks he do

obama was panal what controls around -- obama was annal what an -- albatross against the neck of the democrats. beto, gillum, what happened? crushed? i'll give you two examples of the underlying di dynamic. you have people like ron desantis who cleaved to the make america great again agenda. what happens? he wins. then you have people in the district i live in in virginia, barbara comstock, incumbents republican congresswoman in her last flyer through my post box doesn't mention anywhere donald trump, doesn't mention the last two years. what happened to the incumbent rino, she gets crushed. jesse: that's a great point. look at the policies these people on the left came out with. not only did they run as far away as they could str from the mainstream democratic party. if you look at abrams and beto o'rourke. they ran on gun con fist station, not kneeling for the nationality anthem is patriotic. >> democrats have an identity crisis. when they are getting their money from hollywood and silicon valley and wall street, they are going to have to preach the issues that those crazy leftists

having obama on the campaign trail is fine. how much more energized are they going to be, i don't know. but the coalition that donald trump put together had independents and democrats who were fed up with washington, d.c. how do you get those people out? that's a challenge for republicans. i am not sure that those particular voters have the same voters have the motivation to come out and vote on straight line ticket. >> is president obama preaching to the choir? >> this is a time for mobilization. he is trying to get every democrat out that typically in midterm elections as john and david can tell you -- everybody here -- there is a drop-off, and the drop-off is most significant among minority voters, young people, with some voters with whom the president has a particularly strong relationship. and, so, i think that democrats want him in miami and atlanta. and i think he is going to chicago, and gary, indiana, for joe donnelly, to mobilize the vote in those areas, in elections that are going to be very close. >> but he was out

for president obama. when virginia leads, virginia winds, when virginia wins, america wins, here is the guy who believed in us when a lot of folks had not, who made us so proud as president, and makes us so proud today, my dear, dear friend, president barack obama. obama: hello, everybody.

president obama is talking about that right now. he said this really is about civility and character. let's listen to him real quick in gary, indiana. >> it is because of the efforts of folks like you that we abolished slavery. we ended the great depression. and workers won the right to unionize. and women won the right to vote. that's why we had a civil rights movement. and a worker's rights movement. and lgbt movement. because people fought for it. and by the way, every time we gained a victory, we moved the country in a more generous, more progressive direction. usually there is somebody that's pushing back. wanting to preserve the status quo. we get periods of progressive advancement, but conservative retrenchment. in the closing weeks of this election, we have seen repeated attempts to divide us with rhetoric, to try to turn us on one another. it's an old playbook where the powerful and the privileged say whatever it takes to protect their power and their privilege. even if it hurts the country, even when it puts people at risk

obama's successor. president-elect donald trump. >> good morning. >> hey hey. >> all right. >> one of the weirdest weeks of the year. thanksgiving week. >> should we start with turkey jokes? the eighth and final year of turkey jokes. >> the eighth and final one. there's a cornucopia of corny jokes. including maybe that one. >> no, no. >> all right. you're crying fowl on that one. i get it. >> you know he always talks every year about generosity. making sure everyone can eat on thanksgiving. except for the turkeys. because they're already stuffed. >> i like it. >> and then, we also want to give a shout out to all of the brave turkeys who met their fate with courage. they're not chicken. >> followed up with they're delicious. >> they're not chicken, they're delicious. this is the last tame i will pardon a turkey. which means the next time i cross paths with a turkey it better run. >> i look how there is an underlying premise that the president just wants to kill turkeys. >> i have an idea for a joke but n

to paint obama as the other. as also the main stream work pin americans against each other. i tried to wrestle in the book candidly with the issue of race. which obama was much more forthcoming about in private than public. dan and i used after prepping for a lot of conferences and i described to get in the mindset, we would walk them through. we would say, you want to ask some of the opposition is about race. what are you going to say? he would say, i will say yes, next question. any obvious he was not going to say that but, to him this was part of the pond, white noise, part of the backdrop of the obama presidency. a bit of a toxic brew developing that was like an organism taking over the republican party. before our eyes.first the tea party and then ultimately through the politics of donald trump not the least likely republican nominee, but the most likely republican nominee the moment he came down the escalator of the trump tower. in the book i tried to trace these two threads. the positive direction that i t

. ♪ president obama: hello, chicago. it is good to be home. it is good to be home. now, first of all, you notice my thread is a little itchy. that is because backstage i was theng to sing "glory," and -- >> mr. president -- i realize now i am not a professional's air. i was justruthfully, working hard out there because we have some work to do. back,ody -- i love you chicago. it is good to be home. the bears won handily. i've got some amazing friends that i have not seen in a wild are gathered here -- in a while you are gathered here. senators duckworth and durbin. we have folks like your next raul.ey general, kwame your next representatives from laurens, sean and underwood. your next lieutenant governor , juliana stratton. and you have got our next governor, j.b. pritzger. i was thinking on the way over here that it was 10 years ago that we had a small event in grant park. and you had just elected me the 44th president of the united states. and i remember it was an extraordinary night. you remember was like balmy. it was

looked like president obama came out ready for a fight. his voice sounded hoarse, sounding like the campaign trail is taking its toll. but he wanted to make sure people understood how important it was to vote. there was a concert that had the crowd lathered up. j.b. chris ker, who has the comfortable over here the incumbent ronner barely spoke on stage. when president obama got up there, he definitely talked about the idea that these votes will matter. there's a great awakening that's happening in america. he said he never thought in a million years people would be running on health care and the fact that it's been changing, that the focus was making sure people with preexisting conditions had a chance to get the health care they needed. he talked about that. people started booing when he started talking about republicans, former president said, don't boo, vote. he made his conversation very different. there was a lot of hype in the crowd and people were interacting with the former president, seemed to energize him and get him going longer

president obama will be in chicago. this should give you a sense of the dynamic between these two leaders. >> i heard president obama speak today. i had to listen. i was in the plane. i had nothing else to do. >> why is it that the folks that won the last election are so mad all the time? >> he had a very small crowd. they don't talk about that. >> right now republicans are all, look, the economy is so good. where do you think that started? >> it's going better than ever before. president obama, we were heading south. >> don't be bamboozled. don't be hoodwinked. he'll be like, look, look, look over there. then they're giving tax cuts to billionaires. >> if the other administration would have continued, our country would have crashed. >> they're just fear mongering to distract from the record. they're telling you the existential threat to america is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away. >> we don't want to go back to the obama days. >> when people can just lie with abandon, democracy can't work. >> gabe, everyt

>> so, i think that folks that thought it was going to change with barack obama, president obama ignored the fact we have yet to have a real conversation about race in this country. one of the things donald trump has done is forced us to have that conversation. i do not remember in my short 28 years on this world, i have seen people sit on cable news and discuss white terrorism, domestic terrorism, white supremacy, white supremacist ideology. that is a conversation we have to have. it is unfortunate donald trump, who started his political career with the racist birther theory, i.e. trafficking in white supremacist ideology, but it is unfortunate that other folks are not being held accountable for supporting and holding up what the president is currently doing. it's not just donald trump we have to call out. republicans who sit on capitol hill, operatives that carry the president's message -- not you, scott -- [ laughter ] >> not me. >> not you. >> and charlie retired. don't push your luck. >> not i. but that is real. when the president is stoking the fears of folks that have this, i thin

rob: obama's first midterm was a slot, he lost 60 seats in the house, maybe more. today there's a reasonable chance the republicans lose the house but there still could be success. what you think, 30 seats would be considered a success and still lose the house? >> especially when you consider only 4 times has the party holding the white house gained seats in the senate during the president's first midterm, we are going to gain seats, donald trump is made history should we gain seats in the senate. you are right to say should we lose the house narrowly a few seats is a victory. the average loss is 32 seats when you go to 1832. if we lose marginally and game in the senate that is history and that is donald trump. jillian: thank you very much for being here. 18 minutes after the hour, just under an hour polls will open across the country in a battle that could change the course of our nation. rob: we breakdown the top races to watch in this fight to the finish. jillian: good morning. ♪ liberty mutual accident forgiveness means they won't hike your rates over one mis

obama care. people's lives were simply destroyed by the in many cases. so we finally have a president who understands and he wants to help people. i think it's very telling that barack obama is out there on the campaign trail. >> while you were speaking we put up a tweet from the president saying he was going to totally protect republicans and totally protect health insurance as it relates to preexisting illnesses. but i think the democrats are saying women are better off under democratic leadership. and i'm going to ask to you listen to a sound bite. oprah winfrey who is out in georgia thursday. >> i'm here today because of the men and because of the women who were lynched, who were humiliate, who were discriminated against, who were you pressed, who were repressed, and oppressed. i refuse to let their sacrifices be in vain. judge jeanine: as it relates to women as oprah comes out and campaigns for women saying because they have been oh pressed, they have to vote for the female candidate for gov

obama comes in, pulls out every single troop and george w. bush didn't say one word as things got worse in iraq as he predicted. itit t was certainly true that president cheney said something. president bush didn't say a word . ronald reagan retires, doesn't say a word. george w. bush goes to robert, texas, doesn't say a word. jimmy carter, bill clinton, barack brock obama never stop talking. that's a different perspective between republican and democratic presidents. >> austin he may have a point i seems to be the democrats. >> i don't think that's quite accurate.as >> what wasn't accurate? >> donald trump is in the sense that barack obama did not mention president trump by name. president trump, you know who h was talking about. >> , trump takes that from president is all campaign was built on personal insult of his opponents.ot >> okay that's not the issue with all due respect. we are talking about a preside who comes out during midterms and during his last days to continually attack the presiden of the united states. >> campaigning is som

unlike president obama, we live by a different motto. it's called promises made, promises kept. >> then there is florida, one of the most watched states. president obama there last night to push democrats for senator and governor. it's a state the president will visit later today. gop governor rick scott trails bill nelson by two points. >>> here to discuss what is expected to be an exhilarating 72 hours is julie manchester, reporter for "the hill" and kevin surly with "bloomberg." great to have you here. >> thank you. >> vice president mike pence seems to have a different idea. here's what he told your paper. >> i think we're going expand our majority in the united states senate, and i think we're going to hold our republican majority in the house of representatives. that being said, there is certainly common ground, areas that we can work that the president has laid out. >> so, julia, what is he basing his comment on, and is there really any common ground with the democrats? because it doesn't feel like it now. >> he's trying to take c

obama mentioned that. they all remember who backed them early on, especially when it was brave to back politically speaking obama over hillary clinton, certainly as obama noted that tim kaine was probably advised you probably don't want to be one of the first to endorse obama. they go back a while and kaine is a heavy favorite to win his reelection campaign, as is jennifer what extent, who is looking to unseat barbara comstock. most independent handicappers have her winning that race. host: i was talking to sean sullivan of the washington post, but i want to go back to some numbers that the cook political report has been looking at. there are 75 competitive races, 70 are republican seats, five are democratic seat. field, it is a massive especially when you have gerrymandered districts and the battlefields have gotten bigger and that is certainly helping the democrats. there are roughly, the magic number is 23 in the house. really, if you look at some of these open seats, there are about 10-11 seats that ar

and barack obama is saying no, no, no, this is shared country. this is country where we all can have a piece of it, where we all can share in its benefits, we all have to take responsibility for its history together. they are such different presidents it's hard to imagine they were both presidents of the same country. and i think it is a challenge because donald trump isn't just making that argument to white extremists. he's hoping to migrate that argument to main stream white america. much as richard spencer has said, you know, i can migrate this extremist argument to the middle, to get the little discomfort that the ordinary sort of middle of the road white person might feel that sense of discomfort, that there's something wrong with those people. donald trump wants to exploit that. he's made it very clear this is sort of soft civil war he's attempting to launch just for political advantage. and it's kind of gross, but now we also get some confirmation that it isn't just tactics. it's him. it's what he really thinks. >> and the campaigning he's

once before when he said that obama hacked. when he had information that the system could be vulnerable, he did nothing. here it is to the extent it's vulnerable, what has he done and his office since he's the officer to oversee it. i think this is political propaganda. because of voter suppression and the wide voter suppression that's been going on across the states where we know people have been showing up to polls and their names are not on the rolls. we know people that have been registered, been dropped from registration. there's been organizations that had to take his office to court to make sure that the right to vote is protected. there's so much information about there, i think there's some fear. i think this is a way to do a bait and switch game. >> federal judges have ruled that brian kemp's office needs to make it easier for some of the people who have been held up to vote. they need to mike it easier to correct the discepancies. they need to show proof of citizenship at the polls.repanc. they need to show proof of

so what what's changed since , obama? well, number one, number one the , rhetoric has changed completely, and iran is no longer identified as a potential partner. it's an adversary. number two, the administration has worked closely with allies in the region, in the middle east, and outside the middle east to begin to rebuild a kind of anti-iran coalition most notably with saudi arabia and israel. as mark noted, that house, that has not just diplomatic implications, but it also has military implications as well particularly with the country like israel which has significant military capabilities used in syria against the iranians. the israelis can use that power now with the with the confidence , that the united states will support it diplomatically. and the support which it needs particularly with respect to moscow. so the israelis can act with greater, with greater impunity, and also in the clandestine realm, we don't know for a fact. mark said we now know that there are covert actions being taken against iran's nuclear

one, we haven't heard a whole lot from president obama since he left office. he's kept a relatively low profile. but he is out on the campaign trail, and what we're seeing in georgia and florida is perhaps the passing of the baton, wolf, where you have these two rising african-american stars who are on the press pcipice of being a to take over. as far as the state of play right now in politics in the u.s., this is what the president had to say. >> i know they're sincere. conservatives who are compassionate and must think there is nothing compassionate about ripping immigrant children from the arms of mothers at the border. i'm assuming that they recognize that a president doesn't get to decide on his own who is an american citizen and who is not. that's not how the constitution of the united states works. that's not how the bill of rights works. that's not how our democracy works. people who think it's wrong to spend eight years trying to take away people's health care and then spend the final days pretending you're mother teresa or florence nightengale. peopl

this is a policy that obama opposed. not on his moral -- not on the moral high ground, but on his high horse. he did not see the chessboard. think about how this works for economic security is national security. defensee able to sell systems to our allies and partners, what does that do? it makes that partner stronger. it makes the region where that partner is more stable. most important to me, most important to me, having gone through the vietnam era and watched afghanistan and iraq, most important to me is fewer american boots on the ground. at the same time, from an economic security point of view, that is more jobs right here. good jobs and good wages. the case of the f-16, this is why we need the cap policy. this president, donald j. trump, with a different attitude, was able to consummate a sale of f-16's to bahrain. what did this do? helped expand the production line in fort worth, texas and lead to a new facility in greenville, south carolina. -- here is the thing that people don't understand. it is not the big f

that's up 6,000 from obama's final year in office. under the trump immigration application, into the united states they have surged. probably because of the better economy. unfortunately, this causes serious bag logs and we now are currently at 786,000 pending immigration cases. keep in mind, the u.s. has received 160,000 asylum cases this year, compared to just 42000 in 2008. a good economy, again. as of september, there were 42000 likely illegal immigrants held in ice detention facilities despite only enough funding and capacity for 40,000 people. the president has requested more funding for ice. as we know and as we can see, america's immigration resources are stretched extremely thin. they are operating at maximum capacity. this makes the situation at our southern border even more serious and more dangerous for those people that put their lives on the line to protect our country, or sovereignty, our borders, our rule of law. none of this seems to matter to the left. the president is working hard to improve the lives of our america

but obama's approval rating is 14 points higher. and both of them know immigration is a top issue regardless of party. >> they're telling you it's that bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away. they're even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt. >> yet democrats want to abolish i.c.e. they want to turn america for a sanctuary for criminals and drug dealers. >> where they're going tells a lot about a races they think are important and winnable. concentration to visits down in florida for the governor and senate race there. obviously georgia as well, with president obama spent today. nothing tells you a race is up for grabs like that many visits from the president and former president. shannon. >> shannon: thank you very much. well, president trump rallying support for republican senate hopeful mike braun in indiana. they're trying to flip it in a state president trump won handily in 2016. hello, mike. >> and hello, shannon. the president is now overnighting in indiana. his tour is in full swing. i

so does this show obama's frustration as much as continued hope? >> well, when he left office, he said he was going to give the president some space to do his own thing and even at times when you thought president obama would weigh in and go after president trump, he didn't. so now in kind of these last days before an election, you see him trying to get out the vote and i think there's a difference there at rallies trying to get people specifically in georgia to come out and vote. that's something different than what we've seen for, you know, the last months and years of the trump presidency where he was sort of trying to hold his tongue, it almost felt like. this is something different. >> and so tim, president obama said this is fear amomongering, talking about president trump's approach whether it's about immigration, whether it be about migrants and caravans and use of word "invasion," who is president obama's audience if this is the kind of language that is drumming up president trump's boys, you know, who needs to be inspired? >> well, fred,
