like, as if barack obama never done anything right. or as if donald trump never done anything right. this is ridiculous. and i think it's really childish. and i think we have to grow up our conscience about politics and so we can have a better america because at the end of the day, we going to have children who are going to come here after us and what are they going to inherit? it's just ridiculous. >> i think everybody ascribes to that comment whatever it is that they think about this candidate. i am, as you heard, i really undecided as to where i'm voting in november, but i will say is that i think i share that sentiment that americans lost it's footing in the world stage. that our president, president obama talked about leading from behind. and i think we've succeeded that the and i think the world wants us to leave from in front where there is the economy, whether it's on large world decisions, whether it's on the military. and when i think he says make america great, what he is harkening back to is the sense that we were world lea

what should nancy pelosi do, chuck schumer do, barack obama do? >> we must not be silent. >> michael steel, one of the reasons i wanted to keep you around is to ask you this question. if you were still head of the republican party, how would you react or how would you advise donald trump to react to, a, the fact that john lewis isn't going to the inaugural and b, questioning his legitimacy. >> number one, don't tweet that, number two, don't go there, and number three, step back and appreciate what's being said. you can put it in a partisan context. he's a democrat, i'm a republican. he's black, i'm white, all that. but what's undergirding that and how does a community perceive your respect or lack of respect for their leaders. >> right. >> and that says a lot. i think if you're looking to heal and bridge and bring the people of america together, well, we're part of that as black folks. we're a part of that. so our expectation is not only will you attempt that same effort that you would apply to white folks in other communities, but you will do so

bush or barack obama? >> if i were a democrat today, i would say you guys were right because he did not protect our political process when we needed it. at this point i -- >> how many drone strikes did the president mount against terrorists abroad? >> george w. bush presided over 9/11. >> not only that -- >> you've got somebody with deep connections to a hostile foreign power in the white house. >> and i want to get david back in. i love david frumm because we can have this argument because george w. bush did in fact preside over 9/11, which is the most devastating terrorist attack in our soil in american history, but you do have people who come from the bush administration trying to say that barack obama, who did not have a 9/11 on his watch, is somehow weaker than george w. bush. where do you come down on this? >> well, he did get bin laden. i think that the major problem in the world right now is syria. and i think that's a mess for the whole world and not just barack obama's problem. again, some of the

republicans have apparently decided they are actually in favor of executive action now that barack obama is gone. the one-page document that inissued by trump instructs federal agencies to begin rolling back whatever regulations and whatever parts of the affordable care act that they deem too costly for insurers, drug companies, et cetera. no word yet on how they're going to do that. but it's clear that trump's administration is trying to gut the act even before congress repeals it. trump also immediately made a change to housing policy that will increase mortgage payments for up to 850,000 americans and low-income home buyers. trump's doj also pressed pause on the consent decree that was reached with the state of -- the city of baltimore following the freddy gray case. we'll have more on that later, as well. and we're going to talk a little bit more of that direct action. trump also asked for a 30-day delay in a federal challenge to voter i.d. laws in texas. president obama had issued that challenge against the state of texas, which has one of the strictest voter i.d. laws in the countr

"we are the change we seek, the speeches of barack obama." e.j. dionne and i have put together what we believe to be the greatest and most significant speeches throughout barack obama's political career. and the book is currently available at all of your favorite retailers, so be sure to grab your copies. >>> up next, headlines. before fibromyalgia, i was active. i was energetic. then the chronic, widespread pain drained my energy. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. he also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness

you have donald trump denying that he had fewer people at his inauguration than barack obama did. and by the way, last sunday we had about three times as many people watching this particular program, "a.m. joy," then attended donald trump's inauguration, more than three times, actually. that is a numerical, statistical fact. no shade. why do people deny what they can see with their very eyes and what do you make of the rebellion of civil servants against trump? >> well, here is our problem. by "our" i mean all the citizens of the u.s. if you have an ideology, the research is pretty compelling, if you have an ideology, you see what you want to see. and there is a criteria now called science curious. and it's whether or not you're surprised by new information. and so we want to encourage people to surprise themselves, and we strongly believe that will change their outlook, their scientific view of facts. so this business of suppressing facts, i don't think it's sustainable. as you pointed out, there are so many people on twitter, social media will overwhelm us. but it is a remarkabl

right now there is no head of the democratic party, barack obama has gone back to his private life. some advice from you, please. >> well, look, the people's movement in the street is really a way to shine the light on the leaders who deserve our votes. from what i can tell from being at protests and from watching people get organized is that we're really watching who is voting for trump nominees, we're watching who is at the airport right now. at jehmu said, we're watching who's bringing us granola bars. i've had the honor of leading the democracy in color campaign which is a call to action for the democratic party to hire culturally competent leaders and engage voters of color in a meaningful way. now is a time to turn to our democratic base, engamige us in this conversation and to say that we are about winning and creating an inclusive party as we move towards 2018. >> linda, the muslim community is a tiny voting bloc. we're not talking about 20% of the united states, it's less than 1%, i believe, of the country. is there enough power in not only the muslim community but in the m

you can't blame it on barack obama and hillary clinton. the game is going into their court and they're going to have to play it. >> we will definitely be very happy that we have malcolm and naveed around to help us analyze it. thank you we appreciate you being here. >> thanks, joy. >>> we are keeping an eye on an upcoming press conference in florida. >>> later, trump and the mob. stay with us. (burke) at farmers, we've seen almost everything, so we know how to cover almost anything. even mer-mutts. (1940s aqua music) (burkeand we covered it, february third, twenty-sixteen. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ >>> we are waiting an update from federal local officials on the shooting in ft. lauderdale that left five people dead. many questions remain on why this happened. aman joins us with the latest. >> let me start off with the scene behind me. not too far away from where i'm standing that we're expecting the news conference from law enforcement offi

have you been able to get any of obama world on your side including barack obama? >> the outpouring has been amazing. the grassroots energy. we were able to have huge crowds at these events that we only had one day to build for. the comments from the president's spokesperson were incredibly kind as were senator kaine's words about me in the statement. so i think we're going straight to the voters. the enthusiasm is there, the hunger for someone who's going to fight for working class and middle class folks and that's my track record. you know, in my first race i was 36% behind in the opening and won by 700 votes in a much more conservative district than the state as a whole. i wouldn't be in this race if i didn't think i gave democrats the best chance to win. i believe that. i believe we can give our coalition, the obama coalition a reason to show up while still winning independents, just like we did in '08 and 2010 and i'm excited to go out and make that case, but also to learn from voters. i think that's where the best ideas come from. >> you mentioned 2008. the y

can you imagine barack obama to violate that and be an outspoken critic? >> i don't think barack obama will be out there every day criticizing donald trump and he said this, too, if really serious norms and principles and values are violated, he'll be a citizen and probably will say something. so i don't think he'll be out there every day on cable shows hitting donald trump but i think if things -- you know, if -- i think he'll speak out if something serious happens. >> we've got him pencilled in as the a-block guest all week. he'll be on crooked media. jon, thank you for being here. >> thanks, chris. >>> that is "all in." we have a special edition of the show tomorrow night leading up to that aforementioned president obama's farewell address, msnbc will carry that speech live. stay tuned for that and for special coverage on "the rachel maddow show" and speaking of the very same rachel maddow, that show starts right now. >> missed you terribly while you were away last week. >> thank you. that is very kind. i did miss you. >> oh, don't be weird. >> i missed

i said barack hussein obama, president of the united states. that doesn't seem like it's going to sell in peoria. but he changed all the rules. >> his first line in the speech is "the plains of peoria." >> he said only in this country is my story possible. only now is my story possible he should have said. >> well, to me -- joy, how do you -- chris's point about this popularity, i think in some ways that's part of the thing that's so hard to get your head around. here's someone who had been a controversial president. he's overseen one of the most polarized eras since the civil war and yet is going out with -- as one of the more popular politicians of the country, one of the more popular exiting politicians in recent memory yet is going to turn this office over to a man who is a repudiation, rejection of him. >> it's incredible. i can recall interviewing people during the campaign who really liked barack obama, who voted for him twice, he wears very well as a president. you have to live with a president over time, he wears well, he's a congenial

michelle obama's legacy, if i have to say her biggest legacy is she and barack obama have shown us that there were not only founding fathers, there were founding mothers. >> yes indeed. they have made huge strides to bring culture into that white house. we are all going to miss them so much. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> you can catch my shows saturdays and sundays. a special edition of the rachel maddo show is next.

he created the fake news of the -- >> barack obama is not a citizen. >> and he said that there was intelligence. >> that's right. he was called by a reputable source that there was intelligence. he himself was going to -- he was hiring investigators to support his fake news. he is the godfather of this deck ka -- decade's fake news. for him to say fake news -- >> well, this is a great point. as a person who launched his political career off of unverifiable and ultimately incorrect conspiratorial and frankly racist theories about the president's crypto kenyan birth and forged documents and all this stuff. >> and the fact that -- the way he deals with the sex thing is his defense is i'm a germaphobe. he just admits it publicly on tv "i'm a germaphobe." like to him that takes care of any sex -- like sex is all dirty and germy. whatever. >> well -- >> that's what he used. >> this could have never happened. >> i won't get into the weeds. >> this couldn't have happened because i'm a germaphobe and i know where they put the cameras in the hotel rooms, i have hotels. >> that was also fascinating. but t

do you think democrats will do the same with barack obama? >> the reagan cult is creepy and dangerous and you had years and years and years in which republicans said what would reagan do? let's find some minor writing that reagan might have said. >> right. >> what was right in 1980 is right forever. that's bad. >> right. >> but they should value obama's presidency. they should see it as a model to emulate and defend. >> jonathan chait, the book is called "audacity," fascinating and provocative. thanks for your time tonight. >> thank you, chris. >>> that's "all in" this evening. a reminder, at 11:00 p.m., "the obama years with brian williams." "the rachel maddow show" starts right now. >> thank you, my friend. we know that it didn't end well. what we forget sometimes is that it did not start well. richard nixon was elected in 1968, re-elected in 1972. that meant that his inauguration day for a second term was in january 1973. it was his inauguration date, january 20th, '73. almost spooky to look back at that day now because of the way we know

to say that no person can make a difference, i give you the fine case of that fine man, barack obama. that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in" with chris says starts right now. >>> tonight on "all in." >> i would imagine that there's probably a gun in the school to protect from potential grizzlies. >> these are the people who will run your government. >> why is the climate changing? i'm asking your personal opinion. >> my personal opinion is immaterial. >> really? >> tonight, democrats grill trump's nominees. what we're learning and why it really matters. plus, the man donald trump tapped to dismantle obamacare goes on the hot seat. >> i'm offended by the insinuation senator. >> you may be offended, but here's what you did. >> what we're learning about his possible stock scandal. >>> and as president obama says farewell -- >> at my core i think we're going to be okay. >> -- the latest on an fbi into donald trump and the russians. and new questions about whether or not he can shut it down. >> i'm saying there is no tape. there is know vent. i was never even in that

tom daschle was an example of that for barack obama, though mostly smooth sailing. it occurs that in some ways that's perception and shame. a scandal is only big enough to blow up a nominee if that's how it's perceived to be but if you can lock down the votes you can basically confirm anyone. >> well, and the rules are just sort of different now, you know? it used to be when you had some scandals that the incumbent -- the president-elect and his team would hint that this is maybe time to step aside. trump doesn't really cow that easily. trump is standing by people that he has put into these poogss. some of these so-called scandals, are they scandals? tom price's stock trade netted him i think $300. is that something the american people will be so outraged over as some of these senators are? i don't know that the person public looks at the epa as the golden goose that many of the liberals on capitol hill view it as. what a lot of these democrats really object to is that these are republicans that actually are supporting republican ideals that are being nominated and

even if you give him the benefit of the doubt, 38%, 39%, 37%, barack obama was at 65%. then people said it didn't matter, the guy got elected, gravity doesn't matter how much does public opinion matter do you think? >> you know, certainly he has rough numbers going into inauguration day. i think it's really clear from those that he has got to do a lot to earn the trust of the american people and it is going to matter, you know, i harper from people as i travel the state of wisconsin who voted for hillary, voted for trump, voted for gary johnson. i think he has a short time period to make it clear whether he's going to follow through on the promises he made to working people who in the end gave him the edge in my state. i think it's a very short time period. >> to deliver for those voters. >> absolutely. to -- and the early indicators with his nominees for cabinet posts, he said he was going to drain the swamp. excuse me, these are the powerful the, the billionaires, the bankers, et cetera, he's populating his cabinet with. i think people are troubled already. >> he's ma

now, i went back and i looked at barack obama's twine inauguration. what's interesting about that as a document is all the hope and change rhetoric, that was a very kind of clear-eyed speech that was very much like it's going to be really hard and we face a lot of challenges. it was an attempt to ratchet down almost explicitly expectations. today donald trump promised the world. >> no, he sure did and, look, he's going to be held to measure on that. you know, three times in the last 100 years the president's party has won seats, gained seats in the first midterm election. structurally the system is set up, usually that -- that incumbent party loses seats. we will not be too far from now talking about the midterm elections and all of this is down for the record now. i think one of the things is we functionally have three parties in washington. we have a trump party which is nationalist and populist, we have a republican party that's a conservative party and we have a democratic party and so the issues in the coalitions that we form around issues like i

bush, rescinded by barack obama, reinstated by donald trump. this is part of what comes with having a republican president. >> i thihere's two things different though. one, of course, it happened first day in office after, as you say, the largest women's martha happened in our history. the second is this gag rule and actually what was signed by president trump today is so much more expansive than anything we have ever seen, because this actually impacts hiv/aids programs, maternal health programs. it literally will mean shutting down programs all around the world that provide far more than family planning, and it is the results will be devastating. >> this actually goes out past what was operational during the bush administration? >> absolutely. >> how so? >> it expands beyond family planning services. >> any organization, not just ones doing family planning? >> it includes programs doing now hiv/aids programs, programs that are doing zika programs, maternal health programs. and this is so disturbing, of course, because we have made so much pro

. >>> if we learned anything from mitch mcconnell during the eight years of barack obama's presidency it's that obstruction works. total opposition under our current polarized electorate makes good politics. the shoe is now on the other foot, democrat stopping short of that rigid strategy. the senate has confirmed four of donald trump's nominee, mike pompeo won support from 15 democrats, almost a third of the caucus, including my next guest. i'm joined by senator brian schatz, democrat from hawaii. senator, there's a lot of consternation about pompeo because they felt he left the door open to reinstating torture during the cia. why did you vote for him? >> i find his views objectionable but my criteria specifically for the national security team is different than for any of these other cabinet positions because of the unique position we are in in terms of having such an inexperienced commander in chief my goal is to get as many scene, rational, lawful people in the room surrounding him as possible. that's why i voted for mattis and kelly and pompeo, even though especially with pompeo

referring to a since-deleted retweet comparing the crowd size at barack obama's inauguration to trump's. haberman wrote "trump's worst impulse control is when he's tired or overstretched or in uncertain situations. all three took place saturday. trump is unable to let go of grievance or perceived slight and he is genuinely transfixed by people thinking his election isn't legit." that fixation explains why trump continues to blame non-existent voter fraud for his three million vote loss in the popular vote, reportedly spending the first 10 minutes of his very first meets with congressional leaders repeating that false claim. as the "washington post's" robert costa tweeted. "in spite of winning the electoral college, trump sees the popular vote as a rating that wasn't fairly won by hillary rodham clinton and he won't let that view go." after tweeting he'll launch an investigation into supposed voter fraud threatening to "strengthen up voting procedures" president trump explained his thinking in an interview today with abc news. >> you have people that are registered who are dead, who are

former president barack obama who hadn't spoke out since leaving office supported the protesters saying that he was heartened by the level of engagement taking place in communities around the country. joining me now is a associate professor of law. professor, can you tell us what your own refugee experience was? >> hi, thank you so much for having me on the show. yes, i was one of these people who from a country that's a terrorist country, from iran and i had the hijab and shouted death to america when i was a kid because i was forced to. that's what the regime made people in elementary school do. my family was able to get out. there was war. we slept in our basements and there was bombs at night and we were able to get out and we got a visa and we came here as refugees and i've been able to live as a refugee. it's been a dream. this country has welcomed us with open arms but, you know, a lot of iranians are stuck between these two regimes where one says that america is evil and the other tells you that iran is evil. neither is the case. these people, iranians are stuck at the border. t

so when barack obama came in you may remember that he promised he was going to close guantanamo bay and signed orders along those lines in his first week. and you saw president bush when he came in sign some executive orders to undo steps that had been taken by bill clinton. so that's not unusual. the only thing here that would have justified moving quickly is if there was an imminent threat from these seven nations. and since we know that there has been little to no terrorism we've had in the united states from immigrants to these nations and sean spicer said himself at the press briefing today that there had been no immediate actionable threat they were acting on, i think that would have been the only thing that would have justified taking an immediate step. so here i think they just rushed. and you know, like most things in life, if you rush it, you are going to make mistakes. particularly if you have never served in government, never gone through these procedures, and suddenly discovered that it's a little more complicated than it looks like when you are on the campaign trail. >> da

it's a catch phrase but they never had a risk of having to do it because they always had barack obama to save them from themselves. >> right. >> now that they have to do it, do you think they will go forward? >> i don't. i think republicans really like to govern by catch phrase because they don't like the govern. the reason why the president spent so much political capital putting the affordable care act in place and remember how long and awful it was to be a democrat working on the hill at that moment, that was really intense. he did that, we all did that, because it mattered so much. because we cared so much about making sure that millions of americans got insurance who didn't have it before. we cared about fixing that problem because democrats believe that government can fix certain problems that need to be fixed. republicans don't share that belief -- at least republicans today don't. they don't believe government is a solution to the problems that america is facing. so they obstruct. they use catch phrase obstructionism and that's how they brand their party. their party is very l

as you made the point earlier, barack obama's cabinet was by and large senators, known quantities, eric holder had just been confirmed for a job two years before so he'd been vetted already. there are a lot of people with years and years of vetting. these people are brand new to the jobs they're going to do and a lot of them want to dismantle the agencies they're supposed to lead and protect so there are a lot of questions, there's a lot that remains unknown nobody to my knowledge has completed their senate disclosers so you're supposed to have time to look at it, have your staff look at it, talk it over, think about what you're going to ask. they'll get this stuff the night before so democrats are scrambling. they're angry but they're hanging tough. i'm impressed? >> jason? >> joy, how many times can you apply for a job of importance without filling out the application? half of these people haven't filled out the application so the democrats have to play whack a mole with all these people going through. one example, the education pick. this is someone -- there are so many different iss

this was in 2008 when barack obama won the presidential election that year by a mile. but the map's really red, right? obama won by a lot, he's in blue, but the map still looks very red. that's even more true when you make the map county by county instead of state by state. this is an election that the democrats won. this kind of things drives

. >> barack obama called you a brother. what have he and michele meant to you and jill? >> a great deal. you know, i knew -- i rr emembe my mother asking me when i said i didn't want to do the job when i was asked. she said joe, he is a good man, isn't he? i said yes he is good man. and she said -- she had known about my involvement in civil rights. you are telling me the first man, african-american to be president says he needs you to win and you said no? i said mom that's not fair. we did it. we got started. and one of the things about him is that i watched how he treats his children, his wife. i kid mrs. robinson, michele's mom -- >> the president's mother-in-law. >> she could have been my mom if she were older. the same values, the same -- one great thing among the four of us, there is nothing missed between the cup and the lip. we have the same value set. and the second piece of it is, you know, he kept his commitment. i asked him whether or not he asked if i have any quote demand. i said no demanded. i just want to make sure that i get to be the last guy in the roo

was there an unvarnished barack obama at that moment? >> you know, there was just surpri surprise. uhm -- you know, generally speaking, uhm, not just me, but my team have been pretty good at seeing something coming, and partly because just the polling was so off, the data was off, there was a surprise. uhm, you know, i think the president-elect would be the first to acknowledge he didn't run a conventional campaign, and it's not clear that he or his team thought they were going to win, ah, and so, uhm, so i think more than anything it was just surprise. >> and that is just part of lester holt's series of interviews with president obama on tuesday. lester gained rare access to the president flying with him for the president's final jurn ri on air force one returning to chicago for that farewell address. more on "nbc nightly news" and special report "barack obama the reality of hope" airing tonight at 10:00 p.m./9:00 central on nbc. lester holt joins me now. >> good day, andrea. >> congratulation, this was extraordinary. i'm also fascinated by that night, election night, and the deci

, the same treatment that republicans and respect that republicans gave to president barack obama, the same types of treatment and respect that donald trump's going to receive over the course of the next four years. there are a lot of questions out there as it relates to what russia did in this election and to have the republican party diminished at and not really have the curiosity to look into that andrea is a big slap in the face to all of the american people. and so equal treatment, sean. be prepared for it. >> congressman lewis according to donald trump's tweets and i wanted to read some and get your reaction, congressman john lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart, not to mention crime infested, rather than falsely complaining about the election results, all talk, talk, talk, no action and results, sad. congressman john lewis should focus on the burning and crime inner cities of the u.s., i could use all the help i could get. could you unpack that? john lewis' district in the buckhead neighborhood of atlanta.

the mood of barack obama and his closest circle as they prepare to leave. he's going to take off on what was marine one. he's going to take off on that helicopter on the east front of the capitol, go to andrews air force base, make some remarks, get back on what was air force one, but will now just be another 747 with a call number, and fly to palm springs. what do you think will be going through his mind as he makes a very difficult transition for a relatively young president, ex-president. >> you know, whoever thought that the ex-president that barack obama would emulate would be jerogerald ford, in 1977, as remember, getting on the plane and flying off to golf in palm springs. but i think there's an inevitable underlying melon kany melancholy. you can see it in the way the president looks and what he says these days. we'll probably see it a little bit this afternoon, despite his efforts to say, i'm presiding over a smooth transition. one of the worst things for any president is to hand over the office to someone who disagrees with you as much as trump do

i wanted barack obama to succeed. i celebrate the responsibilities that a president have. i want them to meet the greatest responsibility, which is in their oath. their oath doesn't say anything about most of the that we argue about. the oath is very short, preserve, protect, and defend. that's the job. and that's what i want the president to live up to the responsibilities to meet. because it's an awesome responsibility. when i whispered in george w. bush's ear in that classroom on september 11th, 2001, that's the day i think he recognized the bra urden of being president. he couldn't keep his 100 day plan, couldn't keep his schedule. couldn't keep his priorities. he had to meet the priorities of the constitution and he did it well. >> important moment. andy carr joining us on set as we look at the split screen on our set with the motorcade pulling up to the old post office, donald trump's newest hotel. he is now in washington, d.c. making that final flight as president-elect from new york to dc his new home. he will be staying overnight at the blair house. andy and i can

obama, who putin does not have a good relationship with says we are going to punish you and we are going to expel your 35 diplomats, he said you go low we go high. over christmas is plays incredibly well in russia. there was a whole twitter was lit how great putin is >> and putin statement i'm going to invite the american children to the kremlin for new year's. >> also those 35 families are invited to the kremlin so maybe they're going to be hobnobbing with those americans, but it is an interesting relationship, because it's also interesting relationship between not just trump and putin, but the russians and the americans, because i'm watching tv, on tv, seeing putin here more than i see putin on russian tv. i now know every single wrinkle that he has, and i think it is kind of an interesting relationship that we are going to have, because both presidents, i guess now we have to say both presidents, are going to take as much out of the exhibitionism and that kind of outward relationship, either positive or they can tur negative rather quickly because these people are not, i don't think t

barack obama was the first president to have a twitter account, and he usually ended up doing it to make jokes or say things with the official account but not influence any type of policy. this is the strength of donald trump in bringing a lot of change and almost being a disruptive force to corporate america and house representatives. sometimes when you're a disruptive force there is backlash squl. the way i look at donald trump in his first year, what is the bigger driver and bigger force, is it all this change, the disruptions we're seeing or also the inexperience on things that he's not that familiar. he's familiar with the corporate boardrooms of america comes to ford and gm, comfortable in dealing with foreign countries, the bureaucracies of government, the scandals, the bad situations that come and that remains to be seen. we'll find that out in the next 365 days. >> we're already finding out how he antagonized the intelligence community questioning their unprecedented universal judgment october 7th and follow uedp, made more emphatic and the punishments that came last thursday ag

. >> on day one, donald trump is going to reverse much of what barack obama has done but those will unlikely be specific to health care. it's a crucial distinction. what they are talking about in terms of repealing obamacare is to go through legislatively. >>> democratic congressman jim hines is joining me and he's able to talk about a variety of these topics, including health care and intelligence. we'll start, if we can, with today's meeting, congressman, as we thank you for your time. what was the president's private message to lawmakers going forward. offhandedly i heard that he said this is going to be the republicans' issue and they may as well call it trumpcare. what did he tell you? >> the president spokes time with republicans and democrats talking about the accomplishments over the last eight years and focusing on health care and it was around one point. it's easy to say you're going to repeal the affordable health care act. it's going to be hard to explain what you replace it with. it's been seven years now when the aca was first debated here, there was no plan and there's been no

we come back, perhaps one reason fewer people showed up to donald trump's inauguration than barack obama's might have as much to do with geography. there's a much simpler explanation. >>> whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots. just like the people who own them, every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be help starting your business, vendor contracts or employment agreements. legalzoom's network of attorneys can help you every step of the way so you can focus on what you do. we'll handle the legal stuff that comes up along the way. legalzoom. legal help is here. g new cars. you're smart. you already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar. >>> welcome back. it's data download time. despite what press secretary sean spicer said yesterday, it's hard to ignore how much larger the crowds were in 2009 for president obama's ina

barack obama did what he did as president. elizabeth warren was great on the financial issues, bernie sanders came out sometimes, but they have to get together to say we have political culture and connections and may not agree on everything, but now it's whether the two-party system can absorb this energy and passion and speak back to the people who are actually asking them to speak on their behalf. >> there is a big conflict here, do you spend time being political, what david is suggesting, a real revolt against the order, or do you spend the next few days trying to cut deals with trump? >> it galvanizes the people who, it kind of puts a stake in the heart of this kind of embarrassing fatalism that so many democrats have had since the day of the election, such as obamacare is gone, cliemate change is going to die. the election was lost, but there is still fights ahead. now democratins see if they enge in this fight, they have a lot of power. and whatever they think will get them to the next election, if you go in this directi

obama's 2009 inauguration, 3,000. you mentioned twitter. let's show you my account at 10:00 a.m. i was out there all day. the reason i was not taken live is because there was nobody there. this was shortly before 10:00 a.m. on seventh street looking back towards the washington monument. you see that white tent there. that was the media village in the shadow of the washington monument looking back towards the capitol. another tweet here from me just about an hour later from that media village looking back towards the capitol. this is 45 minutes before president trump was sworn in. another thing that sean spicer said here while we're fact checking and not talking about the major marches that took place across the country he said there had not been covering on the mall. that white cover that almost looked like it snowed in d.c. it has been used before. we have a tweet from a cnn reporter in 2013. there is that white cover. the only thing i'd like to add is there were protests in berlin, london, paris and cape town. i've

is it just barack obama? is donald trump third? >> oh, no, no. hillary clinton has been on 22 times. bill clinton more than 20 times. >> so not even close. >> i'm not even sure he's in the top 15. >> okay. not even close. so that's how he began the day and sean spicer, he also gave his own estimate, his own crowd estimate standing at the microphone saying he believed his inauguration crowd estimate was a million or a million and a half. let's listen to the way sean spicer in his very first white house press briefing room announcement talked about what he believes to be the evidence of the size of the crowd at inauguration. >> photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way in one particular tweet to minimize the enormous support that it gathered on the national mall. this was the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass in the mall that. had the effect of highlighting any areas where people were not standing while in years past, the grass eliminated this visual. this w

. >>> well, as you know, a white house spokesperson has confirmed that president barack obama and president trump have been talking regularly on the telephone. we are the only show that has gotten ahold of the audio from these conversations. here's the latest batch. >> hello? >> hey, barack, it's me. >> i told you to never call here again. >> yeah, i don't listen to stuff like that. listen, did you see my tweet about maiferyl streep? >> yes, it was ridiculous. she's a beloved actress and incredible actress. >> she's no tara reid. >>> and mike pence is departing indiana to begin service as the vice president. they thanked the u.s. air force for the great flight. >>> and congressman jason chaffetz says finishing the investigation is one of the top priorities of his committee. it was, quote, one of the largest breaches in security in the history of the state department. it cannot and should not be repeated ever again. there are still open questions that we need to finish up so they won't happen again. the chairman also blames the state department for dragging out the process saying the agency

an estimated 18,000 people braved the freezing cold toear barack obama's final speech as president. and the president touted his record in office, reversing a recession, taking out osama bin laden, health insurance for 20 million previously under the affordable health care act and issues of equality. >> each one of us need to try to heed the advice of a great character in american fiction, atticus finch, who said, you never really understand a person until you consider them from his point of view. for blacks and other minority groups, that means tying our own very real struggles for justice to the challenges that a lot of people in this country face. not only the refugee or the immigrant or the rural poor or the transgender american, but also the middle-aged white guy who, from the outside, may seem like he's got advantages but has seen his world upended by technological change. for americans, it means acknowledging the effects of slavery and jim crow didn't suddenly vanish in the '60s. that when minority groups voiced discontent, they're not just engaging in reverse racism or pract
