4:09 am
there could be beginning of actual investigation to investigators. >> 8 is a good start. one of reasons that mueller operation conditioned over a year -- continued over a year past. it was over a year ago where they knew there was no russia collusion. by continuing to operate it protected the investigators from being investigated, those involved in setting up mueller operation from being reviewed by the justice department, that now gone. i hope lindsey graham is right about attorney general, he will look to see what went wrong and investigate and pros -- prosecute if necessary. lou: two thoughts that occur as you were speaking.
4:10 am
one nunes has taken a long time to reach this point himself, he has done many good things. >> deal with that impresstion? >> judicial watch before look to congress for leadership, nunes performed some heroic work that will go down in history in terms of confronts exposing a deep state at great personal and political cost to himself. but you know leadership has got to come from the justice department in terms of cleaning house, that comes from pressure from president who ought to exercise it as directly as able. and american people. because congressional least on house side is not pressures justice department to clean house. and i just hope attorney general barr has enough personal integrity to understand that the justice department has been a rogue agency for the last several years, involved in a coop effort to over throw the
4:11 am
president, if he take its that seriously, devin nunes' 8 referrals will be just the start. lou: and i take your point. william barr, let me share my impression of the man to this point. that is ha not only serious but deep thinking attorney general. a man of principle and i would be surprised if there is any indication no matter how small in contrary evidence to that to that issue. i would tell him take your time sir, do as you wish. every voice you hear righ rightw is amounts to a clamor. whether democrat, radical dims
4:12 am
in congress, the nonsense go on. even the chair of the judiciary committee and senate, senator lindsey graham, 2 months in he has done nothing. it must seem like a ca-- a bunch of jackasses inned middle of the swamp trying to tell him how to do his job. >> i hope he is not cautious lawyer that most republicans tip ebb -- typically are in these circumstances, they don't want to make waves or doing anything to make hillary clinton upset, a reason their was an efforts to detract from her misconduct and failure to prosecute. is attorney general rally barr going totatio to take on clinto? lou: i wager with you, just an impression, i believe he will
4:13 am
take on whatever is necessary to make certain this respect survives and this injustice on the president is righted. that is my bet. >> i hope that is the case. we'll do our work in the meantime. but -- back to dhs firing. president has to take leadership, and require the justice department to uphold rule the law, expect barr to do the right thing, but tell him to do the right thing just in case. lou: fair enough, tom, good to have you with us thank you. >> thank you. lou: tim fitton, judicial watch. >> hup up next, obama back on wd stage, he set a new record, you heard a lot of talk about nars nars -- his record setting performance overseas, we'll have that for you next, you don't

lou: we've had more than two years of assault on this president, witch-hunts and investigations and nonsense. i think just about everyone knows now who this president is, we have all radical dimms and committees and special counsel efforts, we know what they have amounamounted to. it good to remember what the president promised us on that historic day had he decided he would run for the president of the united states here are just a few thoughts from donald trump, and his promises on that beautiful day, back in june of 2015. >> i'll bring back our jobs from china, from mexico from japan, from so many places. i'll bridge bac bridge back youd money, no worl nobody would be r

4:20 am
off order to god almighty. president obama meanwhile has set a few records of his own. he just set a new personal record over weekend while in berlin. there speaking before his foundation. he referred to himself at -- one can forgive a little first person river sense, referred to himself 392 times. listen to this. >> i was also convinced of was the probably the biggest impact i could have. would be to support and convene and engage and partner with the next generation of leaders, because there is only one of me. i am not here to support any political party, i held my last political office. lou: well, the last part was
4:21 am
reassuring, 392 times. he referred to himself in one speech, former president breaking his previous record, that record set in 2016. he referred to himself in one outing, 171 times. this is stunning stuff. the dimms, and radical proposal and radical di radical dim ageno far to the left, too far. bob kerry growth an op set -- wrote an op-ed, condemning outrageous green new deal and medicare for all and russia collusion hoax. we all know there are a lot more radical dim dilutions than that.
4:22 am
joining us. fact, political analyst, republican strategist, ed rollins, and "new york post" pulitzer prize winning columnist, thank you michael goodwin. 392 times. you can't make this up. i have seen a couple reverends in last couple of -- references in last couple weeks how it works, someone spread its in national level wing media then there are a half dozen reference to narcissism referring to president trump? he, this, this is madness. >> about 25 democrat running for president, so far one said they had anything to do with obama, that is the biden and obama. not a single candidate out there saying i will put back in the obama agenda.
4:23 am
by undoing all of obama executive orders is how this president stimulated this economy. >> michael, ed is right, it is stunning to think there is such separation, he mentioned biden, there is one thing missing from the biden and ow obama relationp that is obama. >> you know, obamaism, his ideas about government, regulation is one. when he left office, democratic party was at its lowest ebb in a century, that wasoing to all this -- owing to government overreach, this is the bathroom you can go to and health chunk insurance you must buy, then going abroad to berlin with his old pal. lou: the old gang is back. >> like a swan sang.
4:24 am
lou: he is headed to cairo after this to call for muslim brotherhood return. >> he has to apologize for president trump. >> that is how it started first 3 weeks he apologize forward america's past. and my sense is this country does not', that he could stand in front of a mirror, and say 400 times, me, me, but at the inwas day that not where democratic party is. lou: i have a proposition for you. i believe, i want to test it on you, this country had a belly full of radica radical dimms. there is not any ramp left for them to 2020. they know who the radical dimms are, they delivered this bust of a collusion hoax, they watched president be har age harassed ad haranged for over two years out either effect or without reason.
4:25 am
it has been a nastiest demonstration of venomous cynicism i have ever watched in american politics. i think this will go down as greatest scandal in american politics. >> i find interesting to watch, analyst and people around democrat saying this not about policy, this is about perso personality, all years of for reagan and trump, people talk about strong personalty, and policies we give her with policy -- differ, they say we can't run on our policy so it will be a personality contest, we're nice and trump is not, my sense that a losing strategy. lou: they are nice? these people, they went after the president, his family, children, wife. i mean, it is -- this is the party of ignore a iguodala iguo.
4:26 am
-- ignor ignorance. they are savage, and indecent and horrific and this president can tell them to go to hell, and american people say we're with you, i don't think they have much room for this president you know. i think he can tell them to go to hell when he wants to with impunity. >> you mentioned bob kerry that piece he wrote, i spoke to him about it. lou: your column was terrorist ghik thank you. >terrorist-- terrific. >> thank you. >> how did we get it so wrong, he added -- >> they tried to over throw a president. no point. >> his point, if the president of the united states can be subject to this kind of prosecution abuse, then every american can, that is why we have to make sure, find out what happened, and make sure it never
4:27 am
happens again. lou: justice department and fbi, i think it rests with them, this is going to have to be grand jury stuff, this is not little you know. ito me inert commission, not a congressional committee that has no teeth, bite or principle it has to be done, that means william barr we depend on, he has to clean up the fbi and justice department. >> we cannot forget it started in obama white house. lou: okay. yeah. >> we know it started there. >> that is why i think you see obama lost. he lost everything. >> yeah and -- and he is being merciful to the american people. at least he is vomiting 392 references, whatever it was to himself to the good people of germany, thank you so much michael and ed thank you.
