instead barack obama had to concede. however, they're not throwing in the towel by any means. >> the energy is all on barack obama and hillary clinton. so, we get through all of these first primaries and john edwards and his two americas are not getting any traction. >> it's time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path. >> it is now certain that for the first time in america, a major political party will nominate either a woman or an african-american to be its candidate for president. >> i feel change in the air! what about you? >> the united states political royalty was endorsing this first-term senator and turning his back on the clintons. for the clintons, it was personal because they had worked with ted kennedy. they were friends with ted kennedy, and it was a real blow for us. hillary said where do we go from here? and frankly we didn't have the answer. >> hillary clinton never anticipated/expected to have a well-financed opponent, well-organized opponent like barack obama. >> her entire strategy is

barack obama on the statue. is that a sense of pagans worshipping the aisle. of course, the payingance are all going to be a vanished civilization, and looking at this new you wonder if this situation is being on another island in some other form. >> i look at this photo and the easter island imagery to me suggests there was some mystery and we don't know what the figures were about and a lot of people were having a hard time understanding what does barack obama mean? what does it mean that we elected someone as president unlike anybody that we've ever elected before? is he some magical figure? is he some godlike figure and woolworth way at looking at the crowd thanks beneath him. that's the body pol tech, to the e at the present time that this had a body and four people and i think a catch or something if you think back too november 2008 and the months that followed, i think a catch or something of a sense of hope, of -- of not knowing how high obama could reed us a lead us and the ensuing disappointment when y

lu: so this is obviously a big statue head of barack obama. the masses are chanting, obama, you have come to save us all, please save us, all hail barack obama, o great messiah. the donkey on the left is saying, punk is saying you could blow this yet. i am guessing this is 2008. again, this is the last one, and this is a good one to end on. you could probably do the same cartoon now about how democrats feel about barack obama. they have idolized him, probably outsized, fairly outsized, unrealistic expectations. i think this also plays on the critique of obama as a celebrity. this was a constant theme that came up earlier in the 2008 campaign. you will remember salo palin mocked him for that hopey, chan gey thing. the first campaign john mccain ran against barack obama was titled celebrity. and obama, when he accepted his nomination in denver, he did it with these giant greek columns behind him that made him look almost god-like. so i think this is a fairly mocking, the passionate way that a lot of democrats looked at obama, and probably unfair

cite one example where you had to apologize. >> on the radio i called barack obama a muslim. something for which i profoundly apologize. hey look steve, i came out and announced about three months ago that i am running for president. and one a announced i am running for president, in essence also apologized for help bringing us donald trump. when i went to washington in 2010, i was part of the tea party class and we went there to stop all of this government spending. we went there to fight, and i was at the tip of the spirit fighting on things i believed in. and often times, over the course of the last seven, eight, nine years, i got over my skis in that fight. and i got away from the policy. and i engaged in ugly personal attacks, not just against a barack obama, but against other people who i disagrees with personally. and i regret a lot of the things i've said, and i really do believe that some of the hateful politics that i practiced and others practice, i think that help bring us donald trump, who is like the personification of ugly personal politics. i've learned, since

as you just acknowledged, president trump is increasing the debt and a faster clip than barack obama and the republicans don't say squat. look, the reality is the driver of our debt is healthcare. our entitlement programs were $23 trillion in debt, the american people are living longer and longer. that's a good thing, but how do we pay for all of that healthcare for americans living longer and longer? we have to as a country have that conversation. because if we don't do something about it soaring healthcare costs, we will never get out of this debt. >> also critical of president obama was your former colleague mick mobley, white house chief of staff. how is he doing on this issue swith mark. >> is failing. but steve, like mick mulvaney and i were friends. jim jordan and i were friends. i don't recognize these i really don't. i mean, they know what donald trump did is wrong. they know that donald trump acts like he's above the law. they know that donald trump ask like a dictator. they know that our founders feared foreign influence in our rselections read it yet mick mulvaney and jim

number two, his association with barack obama certainly stands him in good stead even though barack obama is receiving some would say righteous criticism now for his neo liberal politics, the fact is, joe biden was perceived of a public defender of a man subject to claims of birtherism from president trump and the r far right. thirdly, joe biden has generated his own interest among african-american people. you know when you would go to joe biden's vice presidential mansion during black history month, it was a festive occasion. some would argue even more festive than the one being held in the white house by the first black president of the united states of america. it was more cozy, intimate, food was flowing, conversation was flowing. it was a a blacker event. and fourthly, the fact is that many african-american people unlike myself tack toward the middle are culturally conservative and politically progressive. morally andically in the center and the bread and butter issus s that joe biden speaks about, they resonate with and when you put all that stuff together, that i think explains why

steve: you were critical of barack obama saying his policies were bankrupting the country. i imagine that because as you look at the deficit today, exceeding $23 trillion, moving at a higher rate under this president, a republican, with democrats and the house, republicans in the senate. not a word from my former republican colleagues. i went after obama hard. sometimes i went after obama too hard and i had apologized for some of that. when it came to the debt, when a barack obama was president, every time our debt increased, every time our deficit increased, myself and all my conservative colleagues, we would hold a press conference and raked barack obama over the coals. as you just acknowledged, president trump is increasing thanebt at a faster clip barack obama and the republicans do not say squat. reality is, the driver of our debt is health care. our entitlement programs. we are 23 trillion dollars in debt. the american people are living longer. that is a good thing, but how do we pay for that health care? we have to, as a country, have that conversation, because if we

assistant editor argued in his piece entitled, "barack obama, conservative." his pragmatic approach to multiple policies throughout his presidency aligns him closer to a classical conservative. congressman devin nunes says he will file a lawsuit against cnn and the daily beast that claim he met with viktor shokin last december trying to dig up dirt on former vice president joe biden and his son hunter. nunes told fox muse it's demonstrablely false and he is going to sue them. lee zeldin has been part of the leadership and one of the strongest voices fighting against his impeachment farce. let's start first with the numbers are moving in the president's direction. your reaction. >> the american public has been able to get the other 97% of the story. during the closed door depositions adamaging schiff's cocktail was to cherry pick and withhold facts and outright lie. members of the media gleefully played along for the spin on the public of reality. what happens during the course of the open hearings. even though adam schiff won't bring in the republican witnesse

our 45th president is going to be barack obama. it has actually happened. we watched this develop like an old polaroid film for two years now. to get our heads around it and to understand why it happened, how things like this happened. this tragic shooting happened at sandy hook elementary school. the history of americans being written tonight. the supreme court of this country heard arguments on whether two people of the same sex should be allowed a public recognition of their marriage. it's happened after four campaigns of promising donald trump has made the leap at least into the first debate. donald trump will be the next president of the united states, proving nearly all the polls wrong trump racked up victories in states like pennsylvania, um wisconsin, ohio and florida. today was a day of history. the country's top investigator of an american president shifted the guilt to the u.s. congress. as i said earlier in the show, the question now is to impeach or not to impeach. today the speaker of the house m has made a decision to initiate impeachment pro

we are seeing joe biden, then barack obama cops out and deep 60ss the guy. does d deep sixes the guy. >> they are having their flavor of the month as republicans did in the early stages. it's interesting. the democratic process. this party says let's get rid of the electoral college. let's have one person, one vote. yet they are not having a national primary to nominate their nominee. they are still going state by state. judge jeanine: thanks so much for being with us. last week i introduced you to john solomon reporting on ukraine. now john has retracted it on twitter but because he says it here we wanted to address it as well. that. judge jeanine: my next guest believes most americans don't want to be governed by the deep state and they don't want to be spied on by them. devin nunes uncovered the biggest political scandal in u.s. history. lee smith on why this is such a critical time in our country. judge jeanine: i read your book. i think it's phenomenal. what i would like my viewers to understand, when you talk about devin anyone's, and we have him on th

none of them can defeat this guy. >> barack obama took up constitutional law. he would not be a bad nominee. and i think joe biden might consider nominating him. and it, they trust him, and trust his judgment having been nice present for barack obama all of the years. i think both things are true, but i don't know whether he will be able to do that in a state like iowa in the caucus. i just don't know, we haven't seen that yet. >> does biden have the chops, absolutely. but will he be the president to going to the lowest ranking on the high court? i don't think he will take a government job. he could have been planted there because i think joe biden likes to talk about him a little bit. he loves him and the opportunity. >> so let's just do a lightning round of the second half hour. >> lightning round? >> yes, or maybe not. so, you pick. how do you feel about the fact that andrew yang's thing the democratic party is unfortunately acting like donald trump it's a cause of all of our problems? >> people love andrew yang. >> are you in the gang gang? >> i might as we

trump is a -- you know, a fraction of the man that barack obama is and was. you know, it's hard for me to even wrap my head around the trump presidency, chris, having worked for barack obama who was so thoughtful and considerate, you know, who tried to make the best decisions for american people and really took all these -- you know, had a process for making decisions. the way i interacted with him with the speeches and give so much thought, this is such a radical departure and dangerous mome that, you know, i worry for the country. >> let's talk about the partnership, it's not really an even partnership but the partnership between senior and junior in the case of president obama and joe biden, he's back again and doing well in the race at least in the polls right now for president. it always seemed to me that obama got some help from biden. it wasn't a one way street. biden sort of brought the working class people who was slow to go for an african-american candidate and he put the apostrophe in obama, one of the boys, and clearly obama is helping bidesen tod

george bush and barack obama, and six lines people would say, that is george bush or barack obama, and so once you have done the outline of the face in the years of obama, before you have completed it, people can tell what you are drawing, so it is a mystical thing. so the facial recognition software in our brains is very acute in one of the things that the caricatures can use to their advantage. it takes a little effort to be nonpart san when yisan when you the coasters and things. at "politico" i am paid to have an opinion and express it strongly and the same with anne and carol, and we get to dial it back. which i also understand is that it is not just that we don't want to unnecessarily roil people when they come in for a drink at the bar, but one of the nice things about the bar and what i have learned about the churl of washington culture of washington is there is a culture of comedy, and you learn to get along with people that you may disagree with politically, and you can sit down and have a drink with them. that is the spirit of the bar, and the spirit that we all bring to the

and so he's going to use the word "barack obama" every single day as much as he can. that's not going to change no matter what unsourced quote comes up that barack obama may or may not have said. i would be surprised if he said that. but, you know, you never know. >> jim, it's undeniable he did put his finger on the scale in blessing hillary clinton as the most viable candidate against donald trump and not joe biden, his sitting vice president. >> that is true, and i think we have learned the lessons of that. he reflected back and thought about 2008 when the entire establishment endorsed hillary clinton and he ended upbeating her and coming out of that primary in a much stronger position, ready for the general election. he's going to sit back and learn the lessons of the past. i think the congressman is right, we're going to come out of this with a strong candidate who is going to match up very well with donald trump because they've been through the fire of an incredibly big field. and, you know, eventually we'll have a democratic nominee. the problem for us democrats

in fact, they look the other way when it was barack obama sending cash. pallets of cash to iranians. when you talk about really thwarting the will of congress, we see what happened in previous administrations. this president is all about making sure that the american people tax dollar is accounted for. i'm glad he is doing it. frankly most americans are as well. >> martha: let me ask you this. he would like to bring mick mulvaney, john bolton and the adviser to mick mulvaney and the associate director of the national security in as the witnesses and he would like to see them as witnesses on the senate side. the belief is they had closer activity to president's intentions in the phone call and they would be able to explain that. why not? why not have them do that? >> there are two reasons. it doesn't matt evidence what any first hand knowledge says, if they say that the president was innocent, the democrats never believe it. you can't get better witness than president of ukraine. the number one. and the number two guy in ukraine saying there was no linkage

for democrats, barack obama, john kerry, others know this is launchpad into success. mike: biden has super high expectations and challenge to meet them, right? >> absolutely. overlaid with the concern that he continues to mishandle things like, will i testify in front -- of course you're going to testify in front of the senate, mr. former president of the senate. the fact that it takes him so long to get to the obvious answer should be disquieting to democrats. mike: chuck, elizabeth warren fund-raising dipped about 30% in the fourth quarter from $24.6 million to $17 million. the rcp average she is running fourth in iowa and new hampshire. are voters in that left lane of the democratic party choosing senator bernie sanders over her? >> i think actually there is sort of a maybe like a split not as much interchangeability between warren and sanders voters as we thought. there arele to those voters i suppose. she said i am a capitalist. he is out there saying socialist. that sent a signal. i don't think they are interchangeable as much as we thought. seems like more that

our 50th circuit court judge just yesterday, sean, to put that in perspective, barack obama did 55 circuit judges in eight years. we have done 50 in three years, and we have at least a year left for sure. we are going to do more. one fourth of the circuit judges -- remember, most cases don't make it to the supreme court. most complex litigation never makes it beyond the circuit courts. this has been the most long-lasting, important contribution the president could make well into the future, far beyond his tenure in office. we will have a judiciary more inclined not to make it up on the fly. you know president obama said he wanted to appoint judges who had empathy. that makes great sense if you are the litigant before the judge for whom the judge has empathy. not so good if you aren't. >> sean: let's talk about -- the issue has come up. let's see somebody work who retired at the end of this year leading into the summer, you have been very clear, if the president appointed somebody, he would follow through on that nomination. >> absolutely paid we definitely would do that. this paper back we

about barack obama. that at the behest of a young kid you would bend over and let that young kid touch your head. >> and why he could never work for president trump. >> i couldn't work for trump because i don't respect him and, you know, i don't think he's a decent human being. >>> from studio 6a in rockefeller plaza, "all in" starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes, and it is a special occasion. we're doing our first-ever holiday show in front of a live studio audience here in 30 rock. and how do you know it's a holiday show? well, there you go. so we started doing these friday night shows with a live studio audience in 6a back in august, and we're going to keep doing them next month. and throughout i've gotten to speak to all sorts of amazing people. like jean mayer, the brilliant journalist marsha guessen and dogged trump foundation tracker david farenhold. i get to sit down and talk to my guests in person for a big chunk of time. it has allowed us to take some conversation t

and i remember, i mean, the democrat peat really circled wagon around barack obama to the point where barack obama could say and he honestly believed this that i did not have any scandals in eight year. but if you think about it barack obama was great the president was great at getting himself elected but what happened around him? little by little he lost his 60 vote in the senate they lost the senate. they lost the house -- then he went to reelection by smearing mitt romney not but run on record great personal presence and charisma nobody doubts that but never talked about that and loses both chamber and he loses white house and people said well he left a hero not really but carnage. >> he did not leave the democratic party in very good standing i think it was the weakest position they've been since like the 1920s. >> i think they lost something like thousands or 1100 seats in state house seats local seats et cetera so the democrat party is is much weaker when went out front door one thing with the media doing themselves a lot of good and maybe built up their credibility a little bit

i wish barack obama and joe biden would have stood up to russia and helped ukraine is much as president trump has helped ukraine, selling javelin missiles, allowing them to stand up to russia in ways that barack obama and joe biden wouldn't allow ukraine to do. >> mike: looking ahead, you've said mitch mcconnell will run a fair trial in the senate but alaska republican senator lisa murkowski was critical this week of coordination between mcconnell and the white house. she doesn't seem convinced, congressman. >> representative scalise: and you've seen her make statements concerned about what democrats have been doing and saying as well, you heard chuck schumer making comments recently in the last two weeks to contradict things that chuck schumer as a candidate for united states senate said in 1998 when he was running, saying he was running on a platform in part of acquitting bill clinton when he got to vote against impeachment in the house and it went over to the senate and voted against impeachment there. so in the air, look, the senate is going to contract, conduct a fair trial. there

i don't think any of us had any of this question, had barack obama engaged in the conduct, every one of the republicans would be voting to impeach him and if it were barack obama i would vote to impeach him. >> melissa: democratic leader chuck schumer calling for at least four call witnesses in the senate trial including acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney and former national security advisor john bolton. this is "outnumbered" and i melissmelissa francis. here today, harris faulkner, kennedy, jeannie zeno and in the center seat, former acting attorney general under president trump matt whitaker. reactions from the couch, we will get to that in just a moment. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill first. >> that 658 page report where democrats are claiming "the reason the house lacks access is an unprecedented decision by president trump for a total blockade of the house impeachment inquiry.

and two, would barack obama even want this job? >> in terms of the politics of it, biden has done everything he can to embrace obama, pitching his candidacy as basically obama 2.0, but would barack obama accept a nomination to the supreme court? dan, i covered him in the white house. i have got to say that there's no way. i would be shocked if he would even consider it. remember, obama has his netflix deal. he's got a deal with spotify on podcast. he's enjoying life post-presidency. i think the last thing in the world barack obama would want to face is a senate confirmation hearing. the idea of going before the senate and answering questions and dealing with all that, i think there's no way he would want to go through that, even with a supreme court appointment at the end of the tunnel. >> fair enough. let's loop back. speaking of the senate, let's look at the issue whether biden would comply with a subpoena to testify in president trump's senate trial. theoretically i wonder, if biden were compelled to testify, how do you imagine

president, as if that was going to win over barack obama. his inability to himself. if they couldn't see the the eft of this having on barack obama and kept trying harder and harder finally they would lead them to places like kabul where he was supposed to be his top advisor. for a man at the end of his life after his death barack obama said i'm tired of being told i told richard holbrooke, but i think it was a little. the spirit had been broken. she managed to delay it, overrule it, defended the data difference and relationship kept them in the game for the last two years on his whole goal was to begin talks with the taliban, to negotiate if they had seemed the only way out of the vietnam and obama and even the three clinton didn't want to hear it. he kept silent. he knew the analogy was vietnam when it comes to afghanistan and hillary didn't want to hear it. she was for a big surge. so, this leads me to ask you know, your account is very sympathetic to holbrooke although it is embarrassing. i would say it's more ambivale ambivalent. you don't go after them with kni

on the radio, i called barack obama a muslim. something for which i have profoundly apologized. and announcedout about three months ago that i am running for president and when i it, i in essence also help bringing us donald trump. when i went to washington in 2010, i was part of the tea party class and we went there to stop all of this government spending. we went there to fight and i was at the tip of the spear, fighting thing -- fighting for things i believed in. over the horse of the last 7, 8, nine years, i got over my skis in that fight, got away from the policy and i engaged in ugly personal attacks, not just against barack obama that against other people who i disagreed with personally. -- i regret aw lot of the things i said and i believe some of the hateful politics that i practiced and others practiced, i think it helped ring us donald trump, who is like the personification of ugly personal politics. i have learned since trump has been elected, i am done doing that. i don't want to bring gauge and that kind of ugly rhetoric anymore. i want to just have respectful conv

obama and didn't want to go with hillary so they went with trump we're going to actually win a slice of followers of don't trump in brother bernie sanders campaign i very much do you want to come but it's an important i know you're a big fan of bernie and we're going to come back to bernie sanders in a moment just on trump voters though pretty much all of the academic evidence has been a mouse since election suggests that the there were multiple factors and different types of it as you mentioned but the common side of the main driving force was racial resentment over anything else it was a quote unquote white last as van jones of c.n.n. put it. all the absolutely and there's no doubt about it i think that van jones is right about that and by the coach is right about that and by that he glaude and imani perry and others are right about that but that doesn't mean that exhausts his whole base yes and his base is broad enough that one can still get at those who are willing to side with progressive on these issues of not just class in the abstract but assets to health care quality educati

i'd also like to know what did barack obama know? what did joe biden though? what did susan rice know or what they did any other top official in the obama administration? what did they no question mike that they hide exculpatory evidence and use unverifiable evidence with the fisa court application spying on americans? and this wrapping abuse and illegal surveillance, it all happened on your watch. you act like you've done nothing wrong. why do you refuse to take responsibility? by the way, a lot of people that lack of candor like horwitz say that you did, they light a course and go to jail all the time. why do you get a special pass, get out of jail free card? day of reckoning is coming, mr. comey. i've been warning you. you have the right to remain silent. i suggest you use it. joining us, dan bongino, sara carter, jason chaffetz. jason, i say i would not want to be james comey's lawyer today. >> that's a good question. i would add a few did that. where would people go to get a refund on that book? i'd also like to know when he said he doesn't do sneaky thin

when barack obama one, part of that was proving that he could win in iowa, right? that's what gave him more support down the line. but again, one persons ability to do that at one moment in time does not disprove that there's an issue here. that's the only time it has happened, and i think there's some natural elton disadvantages to going in states that don't reflect the diversity of our party and of our country. >> i want to thank everyone again for coming here and thank secretary castro, for answering the questions and also well played to avoid the headline of julian castro condemns the university of iowa. [laughing] [applause] >> let me just say thank you to you, and look, we are coming to the end of this process before the caucus, and i just want to say thank you to everybody who's been a part of it. again, for a seriously you all do take it, and for helping to ensure that we have an active democracy. the fact that you are here, even if we disagree tonight, the fact you all are here participating, you are making sure we think about these issues, whatever happen

george bush and barack obama, i could draw six lines and they would say that is george bush or barack obama. people can tell what you are drawing. it is a mystical thing. our facial recognition software in our brains is very acute and one of the things that caricaturists can use to their advantage. it takes a little effort to be non-partisan when doing coasters. i am paid to have a political opinion and express it strongly. we have to dial that back, and we understand it is not just that we don't want to un necessarily rile people when she come in for a drink at the bar or something like that. but one of the nice things about the bar and the culture of washington, there is this lovely word that members of congress used called comedy. you may not get along with some people, but you can sit down and have a drink with them. >> we will send our political opinions and save that for our political cartoons. in this case we will have some fun with the caricatures on the >> coasters.

he is obsessed with barack obama. when he lost the majority in 2010 with a republican speaker of the house. he wasn't impeached. that is weighing on the president because legacy he ties to barack obama. he said it is such an easy job, he could do it. now we see he can't. >> talking about power. she did two interviews. there was a question about fear she was asked. she said, pftt. she said, fear is never a word used with me. this has been a through line we have seen this last year plus from walking out of this white house meeting to standing in that cabinet room among that room of white men around the table. >> that's right. she's smarter than them. she knows the policies. especially with the dishwasher. the president doesn't understand any of these processes. he has no idea how they work. she does. she has experience, knowledge, loyalty from her party. she knows how to use that and she's smarter than him on the issues. this is a natural consequence of going in and trying to rough and tumble her. she's going to pivot.

by contrast, in 2008, barack obama landed in new hampshire. and he talked about iowa endlessly. we would newnow if hampshire, we win the nomination. suddenly, and i suppose hillary's tears when she was asked that question about how participating was contributing to it, suddenly obama lost a primary that he had a pretty big lead in. you have to do well in iowa, but don't you have to be careful when you get to new hampshire? >> everybody loves a winner. there's an awful lot of people in iowa and new hampshire who wind up with pretty interesting jobs in the white house because they were there early and they helped propel campaigns. elseey more than anything is in this current race, to look at that expectation. is very strong, she will be the nominee of the democratic party, and i believe that. i'm not sure that's the right thing for the democratic party because you look at all the polling and democrats want to be trump during that is one of the single biggest things. health care was number one, it was tied with foreign policy for what democrats are concerned about. let's go back to
