fascinating, fascinating story in the new york times this past weekend about barack obama coming into the white house, talking to joe biden. it seems that over the past five years or so, six, four or five years, we ve seen barack obama, you know, windsurfing in maui or on a catamaran in maui or bali. no, come on. wherever he is. it s not sort of been with him rolling up his sleeves, being engaged in politics. i find it fascinating. this is like the second or third time he s gone into the white house. it s almost been like, hey, hey, hey, you aren t taking donald trump seriously enough. there was that message this summer. i believe it was this summer he went in to say it. he went in again, went in again to say, you need to get the people in your white house out on the campaign trail. ....
Jaime harrison. what are you expecting to hear from the president today, and how important is it that he makes the distinction, he makes the parallel, he makes the direct connection between donald trump and white supremacy? well, joe and mika, it is so great to see all of you, reverend al. you know, today s visit for the president is going to be pretty emotional for us in south carolina. if you ve ever been to south carolina, you know the significant of mother emanuel church. not just the folks in charleston, but i think to black folks throughout the south. this was a place where church-goers met in secret when black churches were banned throughout the south. it was a place where they came together in 1892 to organize a slave revote. it was also the place where nine beautiful souls were taken away from us, one june 9th in 2015. ....
Donald trump no matter what he says. look, joe, joe and mika, we ve talked about the transformation of the republican party. but you want to talk about the speed and the trajectory of this, i mean, we are at a moment now that would have been inconceivable january 7th. just over the weekend, watch the way donald trump, the worst aspects of donald trump are being echoed and repeated by other republicans. elise stefanik, number three in the republican hierarchy, goes on the air on meet the press and refuses to say she ll certify the election, number one, and actually defends donald trump s use of the term that immigrants are poisoning the blood of the country. that hitlarian rhetoric. every republican would have said they didn t hear it or they would have pushed back against it and said, look, we are not using that rhetoric. elise stefanik is now channelling the worst of donald trump, and that gives you a sense of just how awful it s become in 2024. ....
Here, he keeps telling me to stop. it is time to go. i have to ask. i ll tell you to stop. tonight, washington and michigan, who do you like? i m just glad you re back at work, joe. we missed you after alabama lost. see? we missed you. everyone missed you. let me tell you what, no southern man would show up at work after losing to a big ten team. go ahead. i will take the team that slew you. i am taking michigan. they re favored in the game by five points. they have the best defense. one of the best defenses in modern college football history. washington has been impressive. great quarterback. give me michigan. give me the team that broke joe scarborough s heart. apologies. didn t break my heart. if your team doesn t show up to play, you can t expect them to win. spoken like belichick. jonathan lemire, i ve got to say about we have to go. penix, this is a guy that nobody has respected. i love they re underdogs. ....
Again, it s just such come on. lunacy. you might as well have, like, trump says that abraham lincoln was a zombie martian. historians disagree. i mean, there s just no suggestion, short of allowing slavery to continue in the south, and that could happen, but, again, it shows what is at stake here. donald trump, i don t know if he is even trying to rewrite history, seems to be suggesting america would have been better off with slavery continuing. trump also said over the weekend that had he run against abraham lincoln, he would have beaten him by 30 points. we can assume historians would disagree with that, too. this is an animating principle for joe biden. this is why he ran in 2020, what happened in charlottesville. he talks about that frequently. we know he connected that extremism, the hateful rhetoric and, at times violence, with what donald trump has unearthed for this country. that he has given license to a lot of this anger and racism and the worst of us. ....
