defeated him it's just that hillary clinton got a lot of his votes and obama did obama miss the broad power of trump's rhetoric to . i mean on the visit to london before the bronx it vote you write about this in your book he told then prime minister david cameron when i watch trump's rallies i think how potent his message would be from a more skilled politician it was already pretty potent by that was that he missed that actually i said that you said yeah yeah yeah no i look we understand that so you miss that to be sure but to be very clear. brock obama i think as as an african-american understood full well the power of a demagogue and the power of division and divisiveness but to pick up on some of the threatener questions i think you can overstate that there were some dramatic shift in public opinion in the united states you know again some got less votes than the republican who lost obama he was able to get the republican nomination that to me is the radicalization in american politics that he was able to defeat a very unpopular opponent and hillary clinton and i wouldn't over rea

what did obama know? now that it's in the attorney general's office, what did he know, when did he know what? everyone must be held accountable. we cannot visit mike let this happen, as donald trump says, to any other president. according to rush limbaugh, the time to act is now. he is right. take a look. >> be objective -- the objective remains to get donald trump out of office, even by driving his numbers down or impeaching him or to meeting him 2020. they aren't through trying to get rid of donald trump, they aren't through trying to overturn the election results of 2016. they are never going to finish it -- even if he is elected in 2020, they are setting up the impeachment now with all the stuff. that's why these people need to be politically defeated and pounded into the ground to the point of irrelevance. >> sean: great point. to the point of irrelevance. if we don't hold them accountable, this will happen again and again, we'll lose the country pray that serious. there's got to be constitutional re

i want to remind you, michelle obama did start some kind of butram on eating healthy president obama did not support her, because he made jokes about it all the time. that is not a president who is supporting that program. thank you. guest: this starts with what happens in the home, with families and parents and the influence they have on their children. what was important about the initiative that michelle obama launched is really helping to bring the dialogue into the national consciousness. over time, it can have an impact. i absolutely agree, we are a country of free will and choices. i remember growing up, it was the moms that cooked lunches in school. that does not happen now. it underscores the family influence. the government can only do so much. saying,rper on twitter "do we even see melania trump." is this a perception issue? guest: it has been an issue since her first speech, july, 2016, cleveland at the convention where she delivered what would otherwise be considered a good speech, where her heart was and her pride in being an american, then the next day she wakes up and

>> obama scares me. i just -- i'm worried about what will happen to this country if obama takes office. >> tell me he's american, though he is not. >> i can't trust obama. he's an arab. he is not -- >> no, ma'am, no, ma'am. he's a decent family man, citizen that i just happen to have disagreements with. >> i think mccain did the country a real service by refusing to embrace conspiracy theories and attacks on obama, and rebuking people who tried to launch those attacks. >> it's unfortunate that there were pockets of the country that pushed that way. >> i will respect him, and -- no, no, i want everyone to be respectful. >> john mccain is now so mavericky he's mavericking away from his own supporters and getting booed for it. >> he finds himself in this position having created this monster he can no longer control. there's a way to play this game so you end up with no good choices. we are watching a campaign that has maneuvered itself into kpabtkpab exactly that position. >> as the polls open from the east

lou: with knowledge of president obama. >> we don't know for certain. but i don't see how decisions like that get made without very high level knowledge. lou: we know they were lying from jump street, clapper, brenon, comey. talking about every intelligence agency in the country had created a consensus around collusion, they were lying from the beginning because -- >> they knew we had weapons of mass destruction in that war. they did not know anything about 9/11, that did not come out until long after, my sense it is time to look hard. lou: their incompetence is one thing, i am talking about their corruption. political corruption. >> they are corrupt. lou: under obama. >> time they get cleaned out, and most important element is fbi, that is one at the en the f the day that was driving this, i hope they get in there clean house. >> i thought big reason most reporters became reporters, to ferret out this government corruption this abuse of power that that is what pentagon paper was about and watergate, and idea that almost entire media will turn a blind e

have you convened a committee to try to replace obama care? >> let's step back and remind your viewers how we got to this point. i think in your lead in it is important to note a couple things. we're stated with a court decision in texas where a judge ruled individual mandate. if you are recalling and your viewers recall, justice roberts used a pretty tortured logic. by that very nature if you have removed the tax as congress did last year, then the judge has ruled that the rest of obama care can't stand. republicans have campaigned for a long time about the affairs of obama care. even though they promised if you like your doctor you can keep it, that was a lie, and also promises that would lawyer peop -- lore peop lower premiums. it has been been the last year that premiums have started to stabilize because they allowed more plans to come on to the exchanges. >> okay, but obama care right now is popular with the majority of americans, according to a recent fox news pole whl, 52% disapprove, 37% approve of it. if everything you say is view and

i would argue after eight years of obama many people liked president obama but they thought his economic policies created a soft economy and took away their economic prosperity. one of the reasons donald trump one is he was able to wipe away voters. the right track numbers are much higher than they have been any time since the obama administration. i could be wrong on all these things, and it could be that america wants to embrace socialism. called on things that are more popular -- that's politics. if you are talking about conservatives policies and the return to those, one is fiscal conservative. you didn't pay for this tax cut here this will hit the deficit and it already is. the tax checks that people are getting back are not what we are expecting. that was a conservative bedrock principle. you guys want along with it. i'd love to respond to that. i think both parties deserve to be horse whipped over their accounts of refrain but we will balance the budget. >> you guys controlled congress. i'm not going to push back to aggressively on this. >> we have to do a better job of restrainin

number three failure, the rise of china accelerated under obama and biden. china's aggression stretched to the south china sea, stealing u.s. and electoral property went virtually unchecked and unchallenged by the obama and biden administration. and let's not forget, benghazi and the fall of libya. a total disaster, and a tragedy. we lost the u.s. ambassador three fine americans, and then the obama-biden crew lied about the reason for the attack at the time romney was nipping at their heels in 2012. remember, that was september/october, 2012. and finally, the failed russian reset. russia's annexation of crimea it's moved to eastern ukraine which gave putin power, and a much-needed foreign policy win. i could go on and on and on. obama and biden fully embrace this new world order, and they were loved because they embraced agreements like the trans-pacific partnership and the u.n. climate accords. trump comes in and rejects both. because he believes, rightly they ceded to watch american power and decision-making too far-flung foreign bureaucracy. but biden, oh

it wasn't the dossier and it wasn't obama. the fbi first opened the russia probe because george papadopoulos bragged that he had got political dirt on hillary clinton. >> what's -- >> why is he coming up with more and more people to hate and more and more reasons to investigate if he's clean? >> at the core president trump is someone who wants to fight back, punch the opponent and over do it in some ways the reaction. he talked to republicans and said that mueller report was bs. i talked to lindsey graham. he said it was like a mini election to him. those were his words. i think when you thing about the dossier and the fact that the president isn't even acknowledging that lindsey graham said he saw the dossier and he said turn it over to the authorities and that's what happened. that's not part of this discussion and it's because president trump seizes an opportunity to make this a campaign issue. he's going on the defensive. >> it seems to me there is some sort of cleverness behind what trump's up to here. perhaps with the he

. >> i'm fearful that obama feels the same way. >> this is going to scare the hell out of white people and you know that's true. >> it's designed to attempt to scare. >> while you've been listening to this pastor and close to him for nearly 20 years. >> reverend wright is somebody who is like an uncle or a family member who you may strongly object to what they have to say. >> uncles are blood relatives who you're kind of stuck with at family gatherings even when they say outrageous things. you can't get rid of them. you can walk out of a church, you can. >> he went on cable tv and just got pummelled. >> do you repudiate the man. >> and he called me that night and he said i want to make a speech on race. >> senator barack obama was working on this speech on race until early this morning. he's hoping not only to diffuse the commentary. >> we were in the green room, and senator obama turned to me and said, i know everybody's nervous, but i'm going to go out there and give this speech, and maybe people won't accept it,

so if you want to. >> obama is not running, kayleigh. you guys keep talking about obama. he is not running. >> martha: good record over the deficit the last four to five presidencies. i think that's a pretty tough argument for anybody to make on behalf of any president at this point. so, ladies, we will leave it there thank you very much. good to have both of you with us tonight. >> thank you, martha. >> martha: coming up next, the recent comments from president obama that have some saying he is starting to sound kind of like a conservative. >> let me say this. if you are really confident about your financial situation you probably aren't going to be wearing an 8-pound chain around your neck. jim! you're in! but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. coricidin hbp is the #1 brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. coricidin hbp. they work together doing important stuff. the hitch? like you, your cells get hungry. feed them... with centrum® micronutrients. restoring your awe

kind of a like a white obama. what a story. beto raised a record $80 million in his failed senate bid against ted cruz and a lot of that money came i bet from obama supporters, and there is also the fact that he met with obama himself just a week after he lost that race to cruz according to vanity fair, so was that meeting the kissing of the ring? we don't know, we don't know anything except obama told beto according to the piece that beto should think hard about how this will affect his family and whether there is a path to victory. you will also recall who the first big celebrity to encourage beto was to run for president on a national talk show that would be oprah. >> if i can play some role in helping the country to do that, by god i'm going to do that. >> by god, when are you going to know the answer to that? >> laura: she begged obama to run basically as well. same thing. but what is the beto platform? what are his big ideas? mission control, we have a problem. >> in texas we have a problem with broadband in rural communi

i believe that he lost, trump's one because barack obama was president. barack obama was a black man and trump came out and he told the people, you guys would've for a black man, what the heck, this is not your country, this is not what the united states is about and they say yep, that's what we are thinking along, and we are not going back in that direction. so the reason trump was elected was basically because of racism and i don't know how you fix that. >> sonia i don't know if he notices but hillary clinton wasn't black. hillary clinton was a famous people in american politics. in this race came down -- it wasn't for trump and his messaging on hillary clinton -- on barack obama, his reference on hillary clinton. she was unable to mount the crack campaign to defeat donald trump at the end of the day. i'm not disputing the fact that trump has a lot of messaging that is racially charged. but at this point, he relatively had little messaging about obama, but it was all about crooked hillary. >> your book is out in paperback, ngt, time for volume two,. >>

i am an obama fan and saying why trump is different from obama. this is why i tape my introduce. interviews. this is what omar said on the tape. >> [inaudible]. >> --. that's not what we should be looking for. we don't want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished. we want to recognize the policies behind the pretty faces and smile. >> the same wording from the article. the reporter hit back on twitter telling omar exhibit-a of how politicians use the media to avoid owning what they said. your tape supports what i wrote 100%. it's beyond dispute. next time a phone call would be appreciated. the interview was published on day 5 of a difficult week for democrats on capitol hill. they pass the anti-hate bill in response to comments made by ilhan omar labeled as anti-semitic. a senior democratic house leader told fox all of our problems are caused by three people. >> they say are being targeted. >> shannon: today top democrats passing a massive bill that could remake american government. bringing together interesting opposition from the aclu to republican mitch mccon

she recently was highly critical of president obama in an interview with "politico" suggesting that obama's policies aren't much different than mtrump's. that is a joke. on monday, fox news asked omar about her obama-trumped comparison. this was was a pretty despicabe reaction. take a look. >> absolutely not. >> sean: here with reaction, fox news contributor, fox news at large correspondent geraldo rivera. there are certain things that i don't want the republican party dealing with. we've got a world of nuclear weapons. we want to make sure that every american has opportunity and i have no patience for any conservative orat republican, racism, bigotry, and anti-semitism, no patience for this. the democratsts couldn't get the votes to even mention the woman's name, and they give the watered down, we'll blame everybodywa garbage. condemn everybody. >> if what you are saying, sean, is that they are their activism and their idealism sometimes leads them to intemperance, i totally agree. that was a classic example. we only get one president at a time. you need decorum, there is a reason you call

the obama administration. david: a lot more to know about. great to see you, thank you for being here. coming up the mayor of chicago wants after jussie smollett to foot the expensive bill for the police probe into his alleged hate crime crime plus new details and his attorneys are releasing about the alleged attacker. this uniquely here. the crisis at our southern border hitting a breaking point. whether president is threatening to do to stop the crisis. meanwhile you are looking live right now it president trump's rally in grand rapids, michigan. the president just addressing the jussie smollett patients that i see that complain about dry mouth, they feel like they have to drink a lot of water. medications seem to be the number one cause for dry mouth. dry mouth can cause increased cavities, bad breath, oral irritation. i like to recommend biotene. biotene has a full array of products that replenishes the moisture in your mouth. biotene definitely works. it makes patients so much happier. all of you. how you

i want to remind you, michelle obama did start some kind of program on eating healthy but president obama did not support her, because he made jokes about it all the time. that is not a president who is supporting that program. host: thank you. guest: this starts with what happens in the home, with families and parents and the influence they have on their children. what was important about the initiative that michelle obama launched is really helping to bring the dialogue into the national consciousness. over time, it can have an impact. i absolutely agree, we are a country of free will and choices. i remember growing up, it was the moms that cooked lunches in school. that does not happen now. will it underscores the family influence. the government can only do so much. host: harper on twitter saying, "do we even see melania trump." is this a perception issue? guest: it has been an issue i since her first speech, july, 2016, cleveland at the convention where she delivered what would otherwise be considered a good speech, where her heart was and her pride in being an american, then the nex

this all occurred in the obama administration. it defies logic and reason to believe the president of the united states back then, barack obama, knew nothing. they had independent rogue operators in loretta lynch. and all the top brass of the fb fbi. mr. brennan and mr. klapper and the rest of them. obama and his staff had every finger in every department. the general information about this effort to destroy the candidate of the republican party and then the president-elect was in the media, because the fbi was leaking like a sieve. and what i'm suggesting to you right now is that there was this fast operation within the obama administration. hyper unmasking of individuals over there in the intelligence agencies. the aggressive use of the fbi including putting spies into the campaign of the republican candidate for president of the united states, including using opposition research handed to the fbi from the hillary clinton campaign, watched through a few surrogates. they had a person over and the deputy attorney general's office

barack obama has been silent throughout all this. from the talk of the democrats who run these committees they don't want to talk to hillary clinton or barack obama. they want transparency, i want transparency. is the impeachment clause of the constitution. treason, bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors. i can name people who committed treason, the high crimes and misdemeanors. is not in the white house. members of congress, big problem in this country, the democrat party is not a pro-american party. they lost in election, they want to destroy the president of the presidency. listen to the candidates. anti-american. anti-capitalism, anti-liberty, anti-security, anti-immigration. this is the problem in the media is their mouthpiece. >> attorney general bar told congress my that he nor rod rosenstein who oversaw the majority the russia probe could find sufficient evidence to charge donald trump with obstruction. some other news going on. tensions mounting along the gaza strip. israel and hamas swapping rocket strikes overnight. b

platform we begin with these as i'm joined by chris lew former deputy secretary of labor during the obama administration he's now a senior fellow at the university of virginia miller center and he joins us in washington d.c. chris thank you so much for joining us my pleasure amy great so let's start with china and the chinese economy china is suffering an economic slowdown and its number two leader warns the country faces a tough struggle so chris i want to ask you what are the implications for the u.s. economy well look we live increasingly in a global economy right now and what happens in china and frankly what happens in europe affects what's happened united states we've seen a slowdown in the u.s. economy in the fourth quarter and many economists believe that all will continue slow in twenty nine hundred so i think it certainly behooves both countries the united states and china to resolve their trade differences that's complicated though because the they're based on serious issues regarding obviously the tariffs that the president has imposed as walls of intellectual property rights

everything that obama especially. the trauma station has of this world reaction when the president does basically whatever his predecessors did in office he looks to undo and whatever they didn't do he looks to do in the case of cuba. there's shared blame here the obama administration and the castro ministrations did do quite a bit but they also didn't do much of the hard stuff and primarily the reason that neither of them did the hard thing was because they both expected an election outcome in two thousand and sixteen and it didn't happen the way they expected the cubans were basically going along and slow walking because they figured mrs clinton would win during the transition then they could deal with the obama administration who would want to clean everything up and move on obama administration you could have water boarded them and they would have told you there was not going to be a victory by donald trump so they never planned for a war what they didn't want or didn't expect what happens during the transition fi

obama in 2014 .-dot for the fact that it humanitarian crisis along the southern border and talked about how traffickers were bringing on the company minors across the border and said in this in the rose garden "the new york times" reported this month but the border is at a breaking point talking about that the various numbers were an 11 year high. it's undeniable it's a crisis and the debate surrounds the national emergency decoration was the right response. steve: what is amazing is the response to this and do something to solve the problem. coming up, is the right response to the college admission scandal, a boycott of elite universities? ♪ ♪ 'cos i know what it means ♪ to walk along the lonely street of dreams ♪ ♪ here i go again on my--- you realize your vows are a whitesnake song? i do. if you ride, you get it. geico motorcycle. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more. makes you feel like a king! king for a day! well, maybe not the whole day. our 19.99 or 49.99 oil change includes a tire

she was highly critical of president obama in an interview with politico suggesting that obama's policies aren't much different than trump's. well, that's a joke. on monday fox news asked omar about her obama/trump comparison. this was her pretty despicable reaction. take a look. >> do you think -- [ inaudible ] >> do not. that is silly to even think and equate the two. one is two men, the other is really not. >> sean: here with reaction, geraldo rivera. there's certain things that i don't want the republican party dealing with. we've got a world with nuclear weapons. we want to make sure every american has opportunity. and i have no patience for any conservative or republican, racism or bigotry or -- i have no patience for this. the democrats couldn't get the votes to even mention the woman's name, and they give the watered down -- we'll just blame everybody for everything. >> you know, if -- if what you're saying, sean, is that their activism and their idealism sometimes leads them to intemperence, i totally agree. there's a reason you call the president mr. president. there's only one

referred to barack obama as, wow, storybooks, clean and articulate. whether or not he runs for president, he's using his public status much like the clinton's to rake in millions. from six-figure speaking gigs to seven-figure book deals, crazy uncle joe is turning his humble public service into a gold mine. if he runs, biden would be just the latest democrat to engage in class warfare politics, all while sitting on top of a mound of cash and the worst record of any political team, him and obama, we've seen in our lifetime. we are going to have a lot more on "20/20" politics throughout the show and also the year. but first, we have to turn our attention to our report on hannity watch on the deep state tonight. we have brand-new information. we saw it with a brand-new "usa today" suffolk university poll. one half of americans now believe that president trump is in fact a victim of a witch hunt being carried out by robert mueller and his merry band of democratic donors. doesn't take a genius' team of investigators to realize that collusion is a hoax. in

these are all issues that led to obama care in the first place. don't forget, health care remains a top priority for voters. tied with the economy. in a 2018 voter poll. my gechlt guest says we not be alive today without the affordable care act. jeff gained national attention back in 2017 when he confronted speaker of the house paul ryan at a cnn town hall. watch. >> i was a republican and i worked for the reagan and bush campaigns. just like you, i was opposed to the affordable care act. when it was passed, i told my wife, we would close our business before i complied with this law. then, at 49, i was given six weeks to live, with a very curable type of cancer. we offered three times the cost of my treatment, which was rejected. they required an insurance card. thanks to the affordable care act, i'm standing here today, alive. why would you repeal the affordable care act without a replacement? >> so luckily, today, jeff is cancer-free. he's joining us live now, from phoenix, arizona, and jeff, i'm so glad you could be here. i know you have said,

jake: if you take barack obama and george w. bush and look at their domestic economic agenda, they were very different in values, in policies, in objectives. in the story they told about the american economy. if you look at george w. bush's and barack obama's foreign-policy agenda, they were basically identical. that's weird, and that's the result of foreign economic policy being kind of, existing in this separate space, verily driven, and it has been out of both parties. walter: i do get the sense sometimes that both in economic policy and foreign policy, the professors have had a little bit too much of -- and both you and i are professors, so i have to be a little careful here -- ok, we have a theory, and this theory, we should just follow the theory while earlier generations of foreign-policy people and economic policy people say yes, there are some big ideas about how the world works, but how do you build something in these circumstances for this situation in time? jake: i would buy that to a certain extent. i would say the

then obama put forces in in 2009 and 2010. short of the commanders by 25% and then pulled the forces out 15 months later. we have never, ever gone about this thing appropriately with the right strategy and right amount of forces. [end of video clip] capt. hoh: he is one of those craving warmongers i was talking about. he has institutionalized ba madness, i believe. he is completely -- he is not stating factually what occurred in afghanistan. brian: why wouldn't he? hoh: why wouldn't he? he is on a tremendous number of awards for companies. if people are aware of the recent controversy of the trump administration to sell nuclear technology to saudi's without the approval of congress, the company that is involved in ip3, the general founded the company. he is on many different arms companies. brian: you're suggesting that he is not a good american, he is not patriotic, it is about his pocketbook? capt. hoh: absolutely. i have no problem saying that. so many people have died, so many people are living life of hell because of men

barack obama have shown it. is he ultimately in the context of running against very talented other democrats. is he going to show the gravitas and chops on policies when the debate started in a couple of months to come across a serious minded guy. everybody watches through the presidential, when beto o'rourke says i am about herch and republican or democrat, i am going to bring it all together. that's on the same plane of unrealism ultimately. >> right. >> can he be convincing? >> even though you work for a texan and we are walking about beto o'rourke. a texan. he does strike me as a good iowa candidate. when you think of the iowa, iowan iowans thhave this. they're looking for hope. >> they are. unique state pliolitically. you have certainly a progressive base there. but, i think candidates get a lot of points, a, for showing up. it is interesting that he started his tour not only in eastern iowa but south eastern iowa. >> george w. bush did that. so i thought it is an interesting mode. i agree with john. ultima

listen, president obama -- give him his credit, now. president obama was willing to raise this issue and willing to reach out to the koch brothers and go into prisons and his attorney generals tried to make some changes. he was not able to get it across the finish line. president trump, to his credit, got it across the finish line and now we have the first setbacks. we have a relay race going. both parties should be proud. >> this is a conservative conference. some people like tom cotton, they said, the first step back is letting out bank robbers, carjackers, letting out felons who assault kids and cops. why is it a good thing that those people are getting out early? >> let me try first quickly. my entry into this issue is a basic concept, which is we all will spend this whole conference talking about how the federal government gets a lot of things wrong and spends a lot of money getting things wrong. why out of no where do you think someone waves a magic wand and every thing they do when it comes to our federal prison system is unimpea

sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine where it really counts obama has not broken from the past but the reality is a drug control budget looks much like the bush administration's the ratio of funding invested in enforcement as opposed to prevention or drug treatment is about the same as the bush administration this is where it's not his real name he's agreed to talk to us if we disguise his identity. has been a drug dealer and a gang member he's currently awaiting trial charged with attempted murder very gruesome. murder scene with. maybe a man walking the streets before it's a. drug operation is on hold while he's out of jail on pretrial supervision one way that maryland has dealt with overcrowding of the prison system is the reason he deals is simple and he does it because he says it's the only way he knows to support his family and guns just a tool of the trade is them is amusing to me because this isn't the name it was a party sixteen years ago so i'm used to with incentives if you lived in a mining town you would go into the coal mines as this is all you know

they like his association with barack obama. i think the question for him is whether he can translate that into being a candidate. >> right. >> we know from hillary clinton that your poll numbers almost always drop once you leave the nonpolitical world and you enter the political world being a candidate. and he is no longer the guy with the aviators and the ice cream cone that we remember from the obama year, but he is a real person with actual policies running against all these other candidates that are going to have -- him be their target, number one, because he be the front-runner. >> yeah, ruth, there is sort of a stylistic issue and substantive one. he has run twice and didn't do particularly well. and substantively there the s the fact that he said this. i thought it was interesting. he said this to delaware voters, which i want you to respond to about getting criticized by the new left, which i think shows how he's thinking about the race substantively. take a listen. >> i'm told i get criticized by the new left. i have t

ben roads brother the deputy national security adviser irnd obama. his brother is the president of cbs news. so let's not point out -- >> my brother is the governor of new york. those are individual cases. it's not a systemic effort of an entire net work to do nothing but ignore anything and attack other journalists who report different. >> cbs news didn't get special access to obama? >> yes. >> of course they did. >> not like fox. >> of course it did. >> all the interviews. he gives a handful to anybody else. it's true. >> this president has been more accessible to the media than -- >> that's poppycock. he won't come on cnn. had goes where he gets a pat on the back. that's fine to seek warm waters. that's fine. for an entire organization to reward that is something different. we have never seen anything like it. >> shepherd smith is critical of the president. so -- >> you are picking viindividual to make a case. there's a host of people that people don't know. i used to work at fox. in prime time tv and from management perspective, they are pawns fo

referred to barack obama as, wow, storybooks, clean and articulate. whether or not he runs for president, he's using his public status much like the clinton's to rake in millions. from six-figure speaking gigs to seven-figure book deals, crazy uncle joe is turning his humble public service into a gold mine. if he runs, biden would be just the latest democrat to engage in class warfare politics, all while sitting on top of a mound of cash and the worst record of any political team, him and obama, we've seen in our lifetime.n we are going to have a lot more on 2020 politics throughout the show and also the year. but first, we have to turn our attention to our report ono hannity watch on the deep state tonight. we have brand-new information. we saw it with a brand-new "usa today" suffolk university poll. one half of americans now believe that president trump is in fact a victim of a witch hunt being carried out by robert mueller and his merry band of democratic donors. doesn't take a genius' team of investigators to realize that collusion is a hoax. in f

was -- experiment when president obama was in office. this is a reform that every member should embrace. when their party controls the white house and when it does not control the white house. so i would urge every one of my colleagues, let's get the senate back to the normal historical pattern for handling presidential nominations. let's give president trump as well as all future presidents a functional process for building their administrations. let's give the american people the government they actually elected. and let's seize this chance to do so through the bipartisan regular order that we're pursuing here both in committee and now on the floor. the status quo is unsustainable for the senate and for the country. it's unfair to this president and to future presidents of either party. it cannot stand and, mr. president, it will not stand. >> mr. president. >> [inaudible] >> i still have the floor. >> the majority leader has the floor. >> would the majority leader yield for a question? >> i move to proceed to calendar number 24, senat

but i was watching obama give speeches the other day and it's like boring you know i mean trump he just the dopamine levels every day he's getting is addicted to this outrage and anger and passion and emotion and you know i have to be honest some days it's nice to turn off the news and take a nap and drink your sorrows away as a go. because the last question one of the president's favorite terms is fake news what does that mean to you. fake news i guess it's really just anything you disagree with directly yeah i mean fake news is something you don't like you know it's went when i was a kid and i got in trouble you could just say look that's not true that's a lie you know todd did hit me as hard as he could. so fake news would have would have convenient little back pocket car you can play it and it's the trump card if you will. drop. by drop your airfare. we will have more from the conference every day this week and now to another topic that has people talking at south by southwest the future of fake news specifically fake videos created by artificial intelligence the other technology is

i'm telling you, he is the new obama. bernie, i'm telling you, beto o'rourke, mark my words, i can do dramatic reading after dramatic reading and it's actually really funny. they talk about the books on his bookshelves come with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. do you know what contains this section for rock memoirs? so he should deftly be president of the united states. all right, guys think you so much. and next, millennia conspiracy theory and late-night legend late-night, dedead plus a big announcement that you will not want to miss, raymond aurora row next, what is seen and not sink my brand-new podcast today but make sure to go get it, subscribe podcastone.com to catch up with me during the day. like it's supposed to. trulicity is not insulin. it starts acting in my body from the first dose and continues to work when i need it, 24/7. trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. don't use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type

and also i think the public misses michelle obama. they have not connected in such a deep way with melania trump, for example, so there is this need to cling to michelle obama and the obama era and all those things make for a ginormous best seller. >> just the success of it is amazing. i see it everywhere. i see it tucked under people's arms. >> worth that $30 million book deal. >> kate bennett thank you. >>> a new warning, the u.s. may not have enough weapons in a conflict china or russia if one were to erupt. >>> and the battle over the mueller report is intensifying on capitol hill as a top democrat doubles down saying there was collusion. ent plan. with my annuity, i know there is a guarantee. it's for my family, its for my self, its for my future. annuities can provide protected income for life. learn more at retire your risk dot org. have you ever worked with dr. francis? oh yeah, he's ok. umm... just ok? guess who just got reinstated! well, not officially. nervous? yeah. yeah me too. don't worry about it, we'll figure it out. i

>> jesse: yes, it was obama. [laughter] anything else? i got this. this was not an intelligence failure like a wmd or 9/11. this was an intelligent plot that was foiled. what's so funny, juan? >> juan: even greg said deep state. >> jesse: everyone was in mocking the deep state phrase for two years now i'm totally vindicated. >> juan: how is that? >> jesse: because there was no collusion. we were laughed at for being conspiracy theorists. guess who the conspiracy theorists were paid? your side. this is what it was. the obama administrations weren't trying to catch russians interfering with the elections. they were trying to catch trump officials colluding with russians to interfere with the elections. this was a democratic administration that use the cia and fbi to attack republican presidential candidate. it all started with hillary and the dossier. as many as four trump officials were legally surveilled and contacted by the cia. then when she lost, they used it as an insurance policy to reverse the election results. trump caught wind of it, fired co
