Election electorate nor the democratic primary electorate is aligned with him on that. i think they are more aligned with either pete buttigieg or vice president bidens line, that you can maintain your health insurance and they would be an expansion of options. >> harris: so you are saying those in the camp of joe biden are not bothered by the gaps. did they hurt him previously when he ran for president twice? >> did that hurt him? i dont think this is what caused it. if you think about 2008, on...

Three approved at this point in the cycle. some people say thats because the republicans control the senate and only needs 50 votes. obama had 60 votes at this point in time during his administration and couldnt get many confirmed. on the district court level. tromp nominated 55 and got six approved. on the obama side, nine out of 20. so he hasnt gotten quite as many approved on the district court level, but hes nominated a whole slew. 91% of trumps nominees are white. that is the highest percen...

Dwreers ago. the president seemed to be suggesting that he did not receive, john kelly and his wife did not receive a phone call from president obama at that time. the obama side, the obama office is not talking about this on the record. and general kelly has not ke klined this as well. in 2011, general kelly and his wife attended a gold star family breakfast at the white house ask sat at michelle obamas table to honor the families of the fallen here. this is something that is a bit of an awkwar...

He may claim executive privilege for those. >> ari melber, i think this is a first. an attorney general appearing on a topic about which he is recused. >> it is awkward, to say the least. it is legally difficult for him to walk this line, although according to the justice department and the trump white house, he now does want to walk this line because he wants to at least address some of these things. i think if we take a step back and actually put the legalese to the side, jim comey told a stor...

Of the way and who may have his own details about trying to educate or normalize some of what this white house was doing. so i think there are some details that may not amount to lies or someones got to be lying, but different shadings of this story. >> earlier we heard from the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, a man whose name is known in a lot more households than it normally would have been known in. and we havent heard the last of rod rosenstein. questioned about a lot of things, but...

Attorney general, jeff sessions. today what i think well be watching, among other things, is the fact that at the end of this day the president in a way is going to be tied to jeff sessions version of events. hes likely to invoke executive privilege for some of the conversation related to the two of them, but as it pertains to the conversations he may have had with james comey and beyond that, all of a sudden you had the he said/he said between president trump and james comey. well, it will be i...

I would note on the obama side, he overreached and ultimately lost his invocation of executive privilege in court in a very long battle over fast and furious, an issue republicans were upset about it and ultimately were correct, in part, that he had overreached. it will be very important, brian, to watch if executive privilege is invoked, how it is invoked. >> just record keeping here, about the president. because we may be cutting to departure and arrival pictures along the way while never leav...

>> she also admitted ambition. all the guys have ambition. why cant a woman have ambition. she said i want to live at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. a lot of people would like to be president of the united states. you and i would probably like it under certain conditions, whatever those conditions are, like you get elected. but the fact is you wouldnt want it any other way. the fact is its breath taking to have a politician say hey, i want to be president. whats wrong with that? thats how it works. j...

Going to full-out endorse mother hood and apple pie and tomorrow obama said im for it too, they sade never mind. were against mother hood and apple pie. its a bad idea. >> why does hate sell more than love? i mean, im afford, i listen to people, i watch television and i hear more hate of obama than love of obama from the other side. why is the love of obama side so puristic they dont think hes been good enough. where the right wingers say hes plenty bad enough. hes so far left and yet the left s...
