who is at top, they have one boss, barack obama. lou: like you, i want to believe your scenario above all, but like you, i am highly skeptical. and their at-this-point, we have an attorney general who should be making noise. >> yes. >> lou: and beholding to account people this that administration, it should be public, it should be as energetic. >> i think these investigations take time, but we're now in 7th month, i would hope it is well on its way. you talk about hillary clinton, they are not bound, the sessions justice department is not bound by jim comey's ill advised inappropriate, untoward announcement on july 5, 2016 -- is not to investigate hillary clinton, not to prosecute her. they have a tractor-trailer load of a file. if you print it on paper, there is a mountain of evidence of her guilt. lou: overwhelming 3, frustratingly this administration does not act. the previous administration is at this point getting away with it some is more troubling to most americans, we're talking about over 12 months, investigating president

look at what happened with bush, look what happened with obama. obama, he didn't even want to talk. but i talk. it is about time. somebody has to do it. >> and ruth, thinking about what ambassador richardson was saying about how the north koreans may be potentially respond to verbal aggression from an adversary, you look at donald trump. you look at his style. we are seeing in some ways, it isn't surprising that donald trump is talking about north korea. the question wif trump, is it in his name at all? in his capacity at all to back down from this kind of rhetoric? he seems to be in this tit for tat with north korea. is there any reason to think he will let this in this any way? >> well, let me say this. if secretary richardson is nervous, then i'm nervous and i think we should all be nervous. and yes, this may be the way donald trump talks. it's one thing to talk that way with senator blumenthal. with you it's another with the north korean leader. >> i'm trying to imagine what is more bellicose than fire and fury. hard to see. but we really need to, in fact, my point in the column

president obama, secretary clinton ended up putting us there. so we are now at the center of the major institutions in asia. that's one. two, we have, in fact, engaged in a foreshift in the terms of the amount of military posture we built up in asia as compared to the rest of the world. >> rose: to say what to china.

obama sees himself as above the law. the second feature is a willingness to use the power of the state against your opponents. in other words, we live at a time of even the post office they'll have swat teams. so for the first time this new democratic party uses the power of the government, the irs, the epa to not only enforce its will, but to bludgeon its opponents into submission. you get on the wrong side and they think nothing of sending the tax audit people after you. this is the new democratic party. the third feature is enriching yourself by shaking down private corporations and the government. obama and hillary are global specialists. they figure out how to use leverage to public power to rent or sell public policy they figure out how to enrich themselves in the process. obama was a community organizer but you won't find him around poor people these days. bill and hillary came to washington, d.c. and despite having government jobs their career they have a net worth of $300 million. -- lewinsky died in carmel by t

they went and did an end run around the procedures there, obama did. david: besides the perks there, pill bill, they violate laws we couldn't get away with. we mentioned the one obamacare, a 72% subsidy and they're able to trade stocks in ways we would be arrested for doing, right? >> the 27th amendment says that pay raises for congress can't take effect until after the next election. following that logic, i would like to add the following words, the aforesaid bums cannot exempt themselves from general legislation. david: that pretty easy. seems to be easy. jessica, we should mention, this is not just democrats, it's republican and democrats. >> congress. david: congress woman pelosi took advantage, apparently, her family did of inside information led them to-- and. >> tom price, and-- >> there's a picture of him. >> thank you people who put that up. david: it's on both sides. >> it's on both sides. david: can you stop it? >> it absolutely should stop. i'm not sure the procedure to do this, but this is exactly why donald trump won this election. this i

i voted for barack obama twice. i think that barack obama has done so much damage to this country. he has turned the democratic party into an anti-white people party, especially an antiwhite christian will party. i think we are seeing the results, the fruits of his labor to turn this country against white people. host: how would you respond to that? guest: i understand that sentiment. but i have a different perspective. i spent a lot of time looking at these issues, karen, and i've heard a lot of people like you. i hear a lot of that in texas. i'm not quite myself. people look at me i don't see my indian background. the power to control the influence of whites in american society has only grown in the last decade. there is less and less representation of various minorities in many areas of our society. women still do not make anywhere nearly as much as white men make. it's hard for me to see how white shavs have lost face. what i'm seeing is a lot of people who grew up generations ago having trouble competing a more global economy where jobs are going away, where there aren't facto

he is a -- president obama by the way, did similar things. i liked to poke people that are not in power. they can't do anything about it. he did something that you can't do anything about. what he -- when he brought up the examples, what he was doing is he's highlights a contrast between two types of thinking. i'm going to talk about it. everything that trump does is through the law and order prism. oftentimes it can be flawed. most of the time it's okay. so what he does, he pardons a law and order-type guy. a sheriff that might have some problems but a sheriff. president obama operates from the oppressor versus oppressed mindset. when he wants to pardon somebody, it's usually a radical, somebody that was involved in a cause. could have been a terrorist but it's a cause. he thinks it's a noble cause. so through that prism, president obama always tends to favor people that we go what are you talking about? meanwhile, liberals look at trump and go arpaio? what are you talking about? i have a solution for this. no march damn pardons. nobody like

obama sees himself as above the law. the law is a tool. the second feature is a willingness to use the power of the state against your opponents. in other words, we live in a time where even the post office, the bureau of land management and places have s.w.a.t. teams. for the first time, i think this new democratic party uses the power of the government, of the irs, of the epa, to not only enforce its will but to bludgeon its opponents into submission. you get them on the wrong side of these guys and they think nothing of sending the tax audit people after you. this is the new democratic party. and the third feature is enriching yourself by shaking down private corporation and the government. how they use to leverage the public power and rent or sell public policy and they figure out how to enrich themselves. obama was a community organizer but you will find not him around any poor people. he is hobnobbing with the billionaire secretary. bill and hillary came to washington, d.c. and despite having government jobs all their career, they ha

much as the obama iran deal is foreseeable to them. people saw it was coming, but successive administrations thought they could trust north korea. >> lou: we upon that north korea has a miniature ietzed war head for the replacement on the icbm's and they have at least two that are capable of reaching the continental united states, one much them, the interior of the united states. how in the hell did u.s. intelligence and presidents of the united states permit this to happen? >> this is something that dan coats ought to get into. the failures and dangers that we are in here now is replicated in iran and god knows what other countries have dpn through the 67orio. we have to deal with north korea. we don't have a lot of time now. trumps got to deal with it in the next year or six months. and the failures are going to haunt us elsewhere. >> lou: i am listening to idiotic statements. the democratic party, whose party whom they elected in 2008 and neglected national security and created extraordinary vulnerabilities in our national security

and obama, president obama's policy was basically to ratchet up the tension. there were negotiations with direct talks with north korea for a while and early on in obama's administration, north korea fired a rocket that they accurately claimed they were trying to put a satellite in space but that has grounds for obama taking north korea to the united nations and they were condemned therefore that and sanctions were slapped on them for that. and they proceeded to test nuclear weapons after that. proceeding with a missile campaign and the obama -- theiration was policy was basically that they hoped that north korea would collapse and that it would end the problem. they took on a policy of cyber war. for a cyber war to weaken the program. to try to damage the program in some ways like they did with iran and the nuclear program. there also was the information operations directive in north korea. so north korea, the most important goal in all of this throughout has been wanting an end to the united states hostile policy. they saw what obama and what bush was doing

black republicans for even barack obama -- i'm sorry, black republicans for barack obama strategic ry omponent of his two terms, electoral landslides and popular vote majority. our student debt. would mr. moore please tell us projects for getting rid of the projected future, young g future for our people who are debting hemselves out because their parents who have stagnant wages, stagnant wages. the republican party -- there is i think that you are never going to be the majority arty in the context of the broader diverse people. host: thank you, barbara. on hen moore, she touches student debt and the impact on the broader economy. guest: it is a big problem. opinion is the biggest scam in america today is how much our niversities and colleges are charging our middle class families. every university and college spending half of what hey do, especially as we move more and more toward online education. these no excuse for colleges costing $30,000, $40,000, $50,000. the more student loans we colleges it id to is like a dog chasing its tail. give re student loans we them the more the khepb

64% trusted obama. 22%, trump. we are a laugh laughingstock numerically. >> laura: we have established that, in your view, trump is the worst, -- pipe down. piped out for a minute. you have spent your minutes here saying donald trump is the worst. my question to you is, okay, what next for you and the democratic party? what do you have to offer those middle-class voters who did turn out, my many of them voted for obama, they had a lot of faith in him, they voted this time around for donald trump. his popularity, among those people, is deriding pretty highh what do democrats offer to them? >> i tried to say i was going to be factual. as you know, 88% of republicans voted for trump over clinton. it is now down to 75%. >> laura: you will not come on their show, give me a few substantive solutions for the democrats to win over those critical voters? >> you are beyond your adjectives and by numbers. let's talk about the democrats. hillary lost for a lot of reasons, but one of them, it is on her shoulders. she didn't tal

that's what happens >>> former president barack obama celebrating 56th birthday. it's his first since leaving office in january. obamas are reportedly returning to their favorite vacation spot in martha's v to celebrate. and here's a tweet from former first lady saying another year older but the same phenomenonal guy i married nearly 25 years ago. happy birthday, barack we love you so much. >>> we're talking popcorn and politics, go hand-in-hand >> i can't wait to see what this represent >> we'll show you when 5at630 comes right back. gypmes right back. gyp this is the moment. the moment you could put yourself in the driver's seat of a new mercedes-benz. come to mgm national harbor and enter the choose your ride giveaway. the more you play, the more chances you earn to win your share of $350,000 in prizes including a new mercedes-benz convertible, sedan or suv. join m life rewards and enter the choose your ride giveaway for a chance at your share of $350,000 in prizes and freeplay®. this is monumental. >>> taking a load off friday with a little treat presidential

is it a large part due to the obama years? yes, it is, but look, to your point with regard to killing the federal job killing regulations that is a good start -- >> i didn't call them federal job killing regulations. >> that being said, as well as unleashing american energy and approving the keystone pipeline and this will go a long way toward creating jobs and other proposals down the road with regard to repealing and replacing obamacare if and when we ever get that done. the tax reform and also infrastructure project would be a phenomenal way to help boost the economy as well as get bipartisan input. >> to get infrastructure through, he has to work hard. he can't be out golfing and he's got to go to the congress and work with the congress to get a legislative package pusheded through and what we've seen from this administration is he lacks the discipline and the political savvy to get this kind of stuff done whether it's a tax cut, repealing obamacare, getting an infrastructure spending plan through and this is where west wi

this is in obama's own book. there was a hypocrisy to obama. he was demanding of americans we make sacrifices for each other. i said, here is obama's own rather living in a slum in nairobi. living in a hut where you stretch your arms and you touch the walls. there is something odd chanting "we are our brother's keeper" and here is his own brother and he hasn't helped him. obama and trump are opposites pursuing a different agenda. host: you said playing the nazi card stems from the election of donald trump. can one disagree with donald trump and not be a fascist? what tips it into fascism or nazism. you said those two terms are not the same. guest: i'm talking about the guys that wear masks, where bike locks asy weapons. if i show up on campus it is not surprising to have these dudes try to stop me from speaking. very often young people today don't even know what conservatives want to conserve. if you try to squeeze their point of view, the professors are there every day or they want to block me. this is a fascist tactic. paradoxically, it is ca

do, i mean he grew -- >> obama or trump? >> you can't credit obama for something he didn't do and what you said is his economy, and trump's growing at 2.6% at this point. he's seeing over 1 million jobs created so far. this is a big win for americans. this say big win for coal miners in west virginia, this is a big win for manufacturers right here in detroit where i am and so i don't really see this as something of obama's. this is definitely of trump's. >> hold on a second. you're saying that trump hasn't signed any legislation that's made the economy grow, but he deserves credit for the economy but barack obama, who had eight years of signing legislation in policy deserves no credit. could we show the chart for job, obama deserve no, sir credit for this, started off in the red and finished quite well. he deserves no credit but donald trump in seven months deserves all the credit? >> i'm saying that donald trump has projected a posture not only through speaking but also through regulatory reform, regulatory action throughou

president obama did not do that. president trump did that tonight and i think he has to sustain that going forward. >> bret: dana, juan, thank you very much. tune in for a special edition of "the five," 11:00 p.m. eastern time. we will have final thoughts when we come back. this is me when i feel controlled by frequent, unpredictable abdominal pain or discomfort and diarrhea. i tried lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments, but my symptoms keep coming back. it turns out i have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that's really frustrating. that's why i talked to my doctor about viberzi... ...a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both abdominal pain and diarrhea at the same time. so i can stay ahead of my symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have no gallbladder, have pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe co

the obama administration took it off the table. in the jcp oa itself, the ballistic missile issue is not address. it is addressed in 20 to 31, the 2231.ents -- allowed tonot be develop long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying a warhead. that program will produce icbms as we have seen in north korea. there is no point in controlling iranian enrichments or plutonium reprocessing if you will allow to have those restrictions lifted over time while giving it a free pathway to develop icbms. it makes no sense. as a statement of u.s. policy we should have an absolute prohibition against developments of these missiles. this whole notion of what iran has done in the past, with respect to the possible military military -- possible military mentions. the military mentions were completely swept under the carpet by the obama ministration who said, don't worry about the past. what iran has done in the past should be of no consequences. and aw there is about 11 half outstanding questions from the iaea report in 2011 about sites.an did in

president obama went through the same thing. every president goes through the same thing with race relations. i think this was a learning experience for the president. i hope when these situations come again, which they will come again, that he will be prepared. we know in texas a&m right where i'm at in dallas that there will be another protest on september 11th. how will we respond? there's too many of us that are loving americans, that hate white supremacy or any type of hate and we should be speaking out about it. the president will have another opportunity to speak out then. he will be prepared then. >> very passionate president trump that we heard from a short time ago. lawrence jones, very good to get your response. thank you. >> thanks, my friend. see you soon. >> all right. a deadline looming for the white house. will they keep the dreamer program for the immigrants alive? what happens if it doesn't? attorney general jeff sessions and the president now on the same page and going after the attacker in charlottesville. >>

, obama? he didn't even walk to talk about it. about time someone has to do it. lou: fret flights takes up our strategy -- north korea following years of obama appeasement next, stay with us, we're coming right back. years of citi history matter to you? well, because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these, and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. and the next great idea could be yours. i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up t

they say he is obsessed with obama. given the recent events in charlottesville, some are calling for barack obama to speak up. today, carol i'm not randall williams writes, we are a country troubled by the looming possibility of a constitutional crisis and hate groups are claiming the president as theirs. we need your voice. i'll going to let you two go at it. should barack obama come out into the republican square, he hasn't been there in months, not since the inauguration of trump, and join trump in this argument over legacy? your thoughts. >> i mean, obviously, i've written this article. i feel like he's got to. he's always been such a poised, measured and careful speaker and i think a lot of us are accustomed in a national crisis to hearing from him. and i think it feels like a crisis to a lot of us. so i'm really longing to hear his insight in this moment. >> your view of this. as political strategist, would you recommend he gets into a public back and forth with the current president? >> well, actually, chris, thi

president obama also talked about pakistan. you got to play a more positive role here, a more responsible role. no more harbors of terrorists. you can talk like that 'til the cows come home but how do you make pakistan play a more responsible role. probably not by dangling the threat of india as president trump did. you can talk about wanting to improve the afghan national army, about wanting afghanistan to take the lead, about them having to take responsibility. this is the type of rhetoric we have been hearing for more than a decade. the reality is it's much tougher to put it into practice and we didn't really get any insight into how president trump intends to do that. >> before we get to david gregory and chris, because you reported so often in afghanistan, is the premise correct, is the premise right that if the u.s. ends this war and leaves, that it would instantly become a haven for terrorists? >> let's be clear. the u.s. has a lot of bad option here. you are damned if you do and you a damned if if you don't. there say l

and congress is questioning other obama officials. susan rice, brennan about the unmasking and don't forget comey can be in trouble and starra carter reporting that the fbi general council, he's under investigation for leaking classified information to the press. what is going on here? and in the hills john solomon former director of national intelligence james clapper made it easier for the branch to unmask congress and the staffers. this is not in a bubble. all of hillary clinton's crime and bleaching and hammering devices we don't have a special counsel for that and uranium, 20s for of the american uranium and 145 million in kick backs. and what about the ukrainian interferancy. and those who are unmasking and leaking intelligence and don't have a special counsel for debbie wasserman schultz's i.t.staffer and we don't have's special counsel for comey leaking to the press and removing government property from the fbi. this is how serious this is. this is a war between the deep state and you, the american people and the president of

he doesn't have the majorities that barack obama had. i'm woun of the democrats who thinks the futures of the party does not lie in somehow bringing trump voters around the democrats but in fact re-establishing and expanding on that barack obama majority back to back majority coalition. >> who is going to do that cornell? >> you know that's a really good question, brian. that's -- that's a really good question. but, look, i think there are leaders in the democratic party thinking about running and from congressman ryan to senator booker, et cetera. i think we have sop voices out there who will try to cobble back together the coalition. >> this is why we'll have you back to continue the conversation. our great thanks for joining us late on thursday night late in the summer. thank you both. still to come, as we mentioned, august rolls on. so does the work of special counsel robert mueller.

when obama was in there, he had to phd's who ran the department. now, we have rick perry running the show. i do not think it is in the right hands. of the cabinet, wilbur ross who is the commerce secretary writes in the pages of the wall street journal, "other trading partners are putting up barriers to imports from america." the tradeou following situation, you might be interested in that story in the opinion section of the wall street journal. russia's position near the nato border has u.s. on alert. they plan to send troops to the eastern edge of nato territory at the end of the summer. it is one of the biggest buildups taken by president andimir putin which is exercise in intimidation which recalls the most ominous days of the cold war. the troops are conducting in westernneuvers russia. you can read more about that story this morning. to learn more about it, you can go to our website, www.c-span.org. mikein lawton, you'd -- in lawton, utah. what is your confidence level in this white house came? team?te house caller: i have almost quit washing

that's what president obama started his political career. what about the nation of islam leader: white people of the devil, the skunk of the planet earth and has said many racist, anti-semitic things, too many to count. recent report, they are saying in this audio that he met privately with then senator barack obama before he announced his presidential run. he said that the nation of islam support barack obama quietly for president and when he was a community organizer, of course at "the daily caller" pointed out, neither obama or lewis want to talk about that friendship. has there been any investigation by the media? british shocking. the media didn't think it was important for you to know these things, they didn't cover a lot of things. president obama's handling, the high-profile racial case is what he was president when he jumped to conclusions, rushed to judgment without facts or information? he was supposed to be a lawyer, too. watch this. >> the cambridge police acted stupidly. there's a long history in this country of african-america

the obama administration requested these upgrades. a lot of people joked about how goldplated ine a chrome. nothing like that will happen. they will keep the original charm such as it is in the west wing. this is not a trump issue, it's a back to the obama era. the west wing is not as old as the white house itself. to the early back 20th century, when theodore roosevelt built the west wing in and the oval office. listening is not as old as the mansion, which dates back to 1800. john: what does a new president get when they come in in terms of a redecorating budget? how much change can they make to the white house complex? >> within reason they can do whatever once they get a certain budget from congress for redecorating. for the personal quarters of the first family, on the second floor of the white house. not a lot of money given the amount of space we're talking about. about $100,000. many first families pay for it themselves or use private funds. there is a famous story about all the money nancy reagan spent . for example, she want

and why did barack obama and his family travel separately to martha's vineyard? they love to extravagantly spend on the taxpayers' dime. some of the money the secret service pays to rent golf carts, the trump organization is actually making money from the secret service and from taxpayers. the secret service responded to the story claiming this doesn't have anything to do with the size of the protection the president needs. >> joining me now is kevin johnson, the "usa today" reporter that broke this story. it's an amazing story. so the secret service has said, it's just an increase in operational tempo. but i don't quite understand, it seems like a part of the increase in operational tempo is they have so many more members of the trump administration to cover and so much more travel. >> that's correct. the trump family has 18 members who are covered by security details. and that has driven a large part of the increase, as you mentioned earlier. up to 42 from 31 during the previous administration. so the -- in talking with director ales, i spoke to him personally.

this is the first stretch retaliatory step four obama's actions. as putin had said, he wanted to see how trump would behave and if you really would hit the reset button on relations. does this mean -- with this retaliation from russia, that putin has given up on a better relationship with the u.s., particularly trump? benjamin: what is interesting about this, despite all the totoric from donald trump, work together against terrorism in the middle east -- when you see the first few months, the relationship has not improved in the past six months. i think donald trump has, like his predecessors, sort of exaggerated the personal dimension of the relationship. the truth is you do have wide strategic differences over syria and the middle east, over ukraine, all of these issues that have poisoned the relationship in recent years. at added to this is the fact that donald trump has very little maneuverability because of the domestic dimension of it, because of all of the controversy about russia interference in the campaign, potential collusion between the

president obama. he went after associated press, subpoenaed and tried to get their phone records, james rice, james rosen at fox news threatening them. is the trump administration walking a really fine line here going after journalists? i mean going after the leakers? no? or going after journalists or both. >> i think they are. president obama was very, very aggressive of the espionage aact. eight of them under president obama. liz: of journalists? >> of journalists and leakers. liz: leakers. okay. >> generally speaking. liz: obama didn't talk a lot about it, but he went after them really hard. it's a problem. national security matters, we went leaders to calm up whoever that president is and not that this conversations are confidential. we need confidence in our system. the leaks are a problem. liz: democrat congresswoman maxine waters applauding antitrump leaks. let's listen. >> we have to be bothered by these phone conversations, these confidential conversations that he had with mexico and australi

i would imagine president obama will get reengaged. i have no evidence to point to for that of course but he obviously loves this country and wants to see democrats in control and wants to see them take control of at least one branch i would say and i think the house is an opportunity for democrats that the take back over and as far as prominent folks you know i can see quite a few young democrats and rising stars at different levels running for office some might not even be elected. office i can see some business folks i can see some outsiders you know putting their hat in the ring to run for president because they are so ashamed about what's happening right now in washington d.c. good to talk with you patrick thanks he had time to thank you yes or appreciate it patrick murphy served in the united states house of representatives and he's chairman of the new political nonprofit group future of forum foundation thank tad to again thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking remember you can join the conversation on my faceboo

the obama failed presidency? >> eboni: lets give president trump more time before we do a fair comparison of failures and successes. i think president obama, terrorism absolutely grew under his watch. undisputed will. the economy stuff, i have to look at it in tandem. i think it's funny how now all now all of a sudden, the low unemployment numbers are getting such gratitude and weight behind them. when we saw those numbers go down, down, down under obama, they were picked apart, they were fake numbers. those weren't real jobs. i want some consistency in the unemployment issue. >> eric: the highest in history. employed americans is the highest in history. >> eboni: it's the same number we've been looking at for the past eight years. >> eric: fair enough. i remember president obama blaming the prior president for what was going on. it >> eboni: every man or woman in the white house should be accountable for their own. >> eric: your thoughts. on anything. >> kat: i think president trump has strengths and weaknesses.

lisa: president obama is pretty good eight, too. >> january 17 president obama commute the sentences of 1,700 prisoners. one was oscar lopez. this is one politico calls a terrorist. this guy by all means should not have been let go. so if you are upset about joe arpaio getting pardoned during a heavy news cycle, then you better be upset about oscar lopez who was a terrorist. what was the quote politico used. the most of active deadly, well trained terror group in the united states. if you are mad about arpaio, show me the tweets from january 17 when president obama commute the sense. that's why people don't trust the media. lisa: when you see stuff like this, it's playing right into president trump's hand when he says fake news, i'm look at you, cnn, whoever he decide to call out. they are playing right into this. >> i don't think the media is emotion alley capable or mature to handle president trump's insults. my wife is an e.r. doctor. when people come in she doesn't get emotional. she just does her job. e.r. doctors are like reporters. the line between straight news reporting and

liz: former obama white house national security adviser, ben rodese is a person of interest. getting intelligence documents that revealed the name of trump aides during the campaign, that is called unmasking. added to number of top obama staffers who may have requested identity of president trump workers. outlet is called circa news, reporting that northbound of unmask americans seems to have increased about time trump secon secured the g.o.p. nomination. let's bring in fox news sense juror judicial analyst, judge andrew napolitano, when did this start? >> there are two phases in 2013 clapper, made it easier to perform unmasking of members of congress and other officials of the government. and then after donald trump was elected now to december of 16, president obama changed rule on raw intelligence, it was that an agency, say that nsa had raw intelligence, transcripts of a phone call. copies of a text-message or e-mail they could not share with anotherintelligence agency. liz: you have to get cia to sign off. >> you well to have director of agency that collected that intelli

against him as he takes on the challenge that is the alliance between the democrats the clintons the obama and the mainstream media and never expected to be behind him with so much solidarity but he is facing an uphill battle and we are seeing that loud and clear ok so here in washington how do you assess it six months because on my introduction kind of echoed from what we just heard from south go ahead. well i don't agree with the liberal portrayal of trump is uniquely nefarious i think it's wholly inaccurate and it whitewash is the crimes of obama and bush presidencies. we definitely need to have legitimate criticism of trying but sadly the democratic party and the liberal elites are blocking us from doing that with their analysts russia has stereo. you know kind of reflect upon that because you know. because it's my job i have to watch m.s.m. b.c. i have to watch c.n.n. and you know it's almost for me it's fun watchable i'm not learning anything oh i'm all i get is this diatribes you know. i think we're adults here and i think we need to deal with facts and we have to deal with other st

s most prominent journalists admitted that he let obama skate and a lot of things even though he knew him to be lying and worse he stands by. that thinking it's ok it's too bad he doesn't seem to realize as smart as the it is that had he actually taken obama to task as he did everyone else hillary might actually have one. it's. called the feeling hopeless nearly. every the world should experience. and you'll get the old the old. the old according to just. come along for the ride. i'm a trial lawyer i've spent countless hours poring through documents to tell the story about the ugly side of cults and. corporate media report uses to talk about these car companies i'm going to paint a clear picture about how disturbing council for conduct has been in march these are stories that you no one else can take on my pepto in your post to the american. west. if.

obama should have ended it years el. on cnbc in august of 2011 trump was asked about the decision to end the war in iraq and he said well i think he could have gotten out along time ago. president trump describing that decision to withdraw from iraq haye hasty and he's not going to make that mistake in afghanistan. the president described the major change in policy here as being that the united states would no longer have a time based approach to getting out of afghanist afghanistan. what that means is there's no end date for the war. he's criticizing president obama for having set a time, a timetable of when the u.s. troops would draw down in afghanistan. instead president trump will use a conditions based approach. if that sounds familiar, that's because it's going back to the way that george w. bush talked about the wars that he started. george w. bush when he was president saying i'm not going to give you a date when we're going to end the war or leave iraq. when they stand up, we'll stand down. it was a conditioned

obama was dressed some kind of middle eastern and michelle obama was fatigue, a military carrying a rifle with her hand sort of r in a fist, black panther gesture. i don't know if you recall this. i recall it. but i remember that they had journal.that on the and the reaction, i don't believe they published it, but reaction was, as you would expect from members of the media people who had voted for the obama administration, they were up in it.s about it was scandalous, how dare you the omething like that on cover of the new yorker magazine. new yorker he magazine apologized left and right, up and down. i believe they didn't go through with that cover. to 2017, i don't seen in my life hell-bent on thrashing this administration as it has. members of cnn themselves go not live levision or on television, but, you know -- host: got you. got you. president's the head hanging from her hand and cnn gets -- she is a associate, she apologizes half-heartedly apologizes and of, you know, subtly blames masoganistic bullying nature of the administration. dorothy, republican line. caller: good morning, a

they asked people would you trust trump or obama. 64 percent obama. and 22 percent trump. we are a laugh being stock, >> and the so we have established in your view trump is the worst. and no one's ever been that. pipe down for a minute. >> okay. >> you have spent your minutes saying trump is the worst. my question is what next for you and the democratic party. what do you have to offer middle-class voter and many of them voted for obama and turned out and voted for donald trump. and his popularity among those people is riding pretty high. what do democrats say to them. >> as you know 88 percent of the republicans voted for trump over clinton. >> and so you will not on this show give me a few substantive solutions for the democrats to win over those critical votes. >> you are beyond your adjective and my numbers. talk about the democrats, hillary lost for a lot of the reasons. one of them on her shoulders. she didn't talk about economic change in the way people connected. george w. bush ended his term losing 14 trillion. >> i am a huge critic of bush and we agree on that.

>> i think president obama was in an impossible position. here he was commander-in-chief trying to defend american democracy, but also the standardbearer of the democratic party in the middle of an election with a democrat against a republican. i think he wanted very badly to avoid any appearance he was putting his thumb on the scale in the selection, and that is to his credit. i understand why he decided that. charlie: you say you now understand the humility of defeat. was this the first time you have been defeated, onc wanting something badly and not getting it? >> i guess you could say the first time on any scale that matters. i've done everything from lose cross-country races to doing past on tests, two in the not getting exactly the job i wanted at different points. but this is the first time where something was riding on it beyond just what i wanted. charlie: i thought would say what was in the best interest of the country. >> and the merger between my own desire to win with a competitive streak and i wanted the opportunity to serve ag

they have seen, only the obama officials wrote a simple need to know national security but they didn't file paper work filed by the analyst. >> sean: how does the ambassador to the u.n., samantha power, how does she unmask hundreds of trump officials? how is that possible in and what rationale can that happen. you say 320 percent increase maskingly in the election cycle and sen times more than the last two administrations and we see the selective leaks and the impact and narrative in the country and scandals of evidence are ignored, sara. >> john solomon and i disclosed that the. 2011, obama administration loosened the rules so much so that people within his administration were able to do this without having to file the
