When hes talking about the paris climate deal, even the europeans in the lead up to the g20 meeting that is happeningth its this week with president trump, theyve even said that they are not going to bring up the paris deal because they know where president trump stands and its a waste of time. so, i understand this is one ofl his big legacy items, but i think its all in the timing. if they want to use him from the left leading up to an election, great.o but right now, i wouldnt do it. >> jesse:...

The timing is also very weird. when hes talking about the paris climate deal, even the europeans in the lead up to the g20 meeting that is happening this week with president trump, theyve even said that they are not going to bring up the paris deal because they know where president trump stands and its a waste of time. so, i understand this is one of his big legacy items, but i think its all in the timing. if they want to use him from the left leading up to an election, great. but right now, i w...

Try to slow things and make things more difficult for the republicans and for president trump. president obama recently chimed in over this travel ban thing, right? so what if president obama starts to become more and more vocal? >> i think if your question is whats the impact, carol, i think it could be. i think, you know, president obama i think, former president obama, will weigh in when trump deals with things that you might think of are his legacy items or the points of principles. we could...

I think youll hear something similar from the president if hes asked about that. >> this is going to be one of those legacy issues for the president two or three days before he leaves office. this controversial decision is something thats going to stick around for a while. and you covered him, jeff. you appreciate that. >> add it to the list. i thought our list was sort of over of the legacy item. i think youre absolutely right in terms of how he is viewed by hawks and national security people. ...

>> those issues, immigration and foreign policy are very very challenging for president obama, even though they are important legacy items for him, with stroll out of iraq as immigration reform, i dont think he wins his legacy by making that the hallmark of the next couple months, he will do what he can do to placate the base but benefit himself because the other issues dont held. >> i agree with him on trade. we went to certainly encourage free trade because free trade lifts people out of pover...

Makes. the fight last year over health care was an unfair partisan battle. this year this fight over wall street reform rollbacks, thats a principle stand for democrats. thats kind of the view for the white house. whats interesting is the president did get some victories in here. he got money for his health care law. he got money for those executive actions on immigration, two other big legacy items, climate change fund and early childhood education fund. that could put pressure on house speaker...

Unlikely that he will get anything bigger than the bite-size deals at this point. republicans are waiting for this 2014 mid-term elections and they wont give this president too much in terms of a bigger budget deal. unlikely to give him immigration reform and any other major legacy items so insteader dealing with the smaller deals, as you say, but also still implementing health care reform which is a bear for him and is likely to continue that way for some time to come. >> stand by. we are being...
