you may have heard him in the so-called mainstream media. this is president obama. remember, i said president obama. not barack obama. president obama talking about president trump. listen to him, yesterday. >> it did not start with donald trump. he is a symptom, not the cause. he is just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years. they will promise to clean up corruption. and then plunder away. they start undermining norms that ensure accountability, and they appeal to racial nationalism that's barely veiled. appealing to tribe, appealing to fear, pitting one group against another. we are supposed to standing up to bullies. [applause] it shouldn't be democratic or republican to say that we don't threaten the freedom of the press. [applause] because they say things or

publish stories we don't like. i complained plenty about fox news. [laughter] but you never heard me threaten to shut them down. or call them enemies of the people. over the past few decades, the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the republican party. when you hear how great the economy is doing right now.

he talks to the average person he says i know what you are going through, he is very relatable. this just reminded me of everything from the obama years that people rejected when they came out and voted for primp. pete: that's a great point. that's why president trump, as he reacted before we react even more, he said i fell asleep. listen. >> i'm sorry, i swachesd it but i fell asleep. [laughter] he was trying to take credit for this incredible thing that's happening to our country. if the democrats -- i have to say this to president obama and it wasn't him, but would have been the same thing. if the democrats got in with their agenda in november evidence almost two years ago, instead of having 4.2 up. i believe honestly you would have 4.2 down. you would be negative. you would be in negative numbers right now. isn't this much more exciting than listening to

president obama? pete: so true. he gives a performance. we can't go back to the old tired political stuff. i'm not a doctor. i don't know dr. saphier if you are out there you can diagnose this better than can i. obama has trump de rangement syndrome. he totally does. his speech, when you listen to it, which i did, it's the same tired, boring resist talking points that we have heard. there are no red states, there are no blue states just united states of america. he couldn't even say president trump. he said donald -- twice in the speech donald trump would not refer to him as president trump. i have call -- i don't know if he was president obama. he is president obama. he won the election. that is the symptom right there. ed: john brennan goes on msnbc and says mr. trump i won't call him president. he is former cia. he should show the same respect. donald trump is upset. he is upsehe is undoing much of

look, i think this is going to backfire because american people are going to go by results at the end of the day. the straw that broke the camel's back was you have someone that's in the white house, in the white house or somewhere in the administration that wants to unseat the president of the united states. and so, how do you think the people, the millions of people that went out and voted for this man are going to take it, whether you like him or not, he was duly elected and there is a process to get rid of him and that's impeach him. ed: lawrence, i hope that wasn't a plastic that you that broke the camel's back. you are not allowed to use them anymore. go ahead. >> they wanted to go through the legal channels the 25th amendment. it's not as if they trying to do some sort of subversive thing. they were sitting there talking and saying this person is unfit to lead. >> all the cabinet mexico are saying they have nothing to do with this. if they want to go through that process, maybe they should get them on board. >> there are several sources that are saying that people

identity politics did not work in 2016. it's not going to work during the mid terms. it's not going to work in 2020. this tactic is old and played out and american people are quite frankly sick and tired of it. jedediah: i found his defense of a record to be a desperation because people are seeing that trump policies are working for people and here you have obama taking in and seizing the whole moment and making it about himself. so do you think people can see through that and they're looking at their pocketbooks and i have more money in my pocket, my taxes are lower i'm disregarding this speech and looking at the results. >> it's really funny because president obama has this wonderful ability to blame president trump for everything that's wrorng in the country while simultaneously taking credit for everything that's right in the country. the american people are going to see through it though. his comments about benghazi being conspiracy quite frankly i findeiss pick cable. patriotic americans are going to be angry over that and everything else that he said. the more that he attacks this president, the more the american people are going to

stand behind their president. it didn't work for hillary. not going to work for obama or anyone else that goes out on campaign trail because the results don't lie. ed: all right tomi lahren thanks for coming in. jedediah: president trump calling for investigation into that anonymous "new york times" op-ed. can jeff sessions get to the bottom of it? pete: pete we are celebrating football seasonal with tailgate party on the fox square formerly known as the plaza. kurt the cyberguy has all the tech you need coming up next with rick. ♪ ♪

[cheers] ♪ homegrown ♪ ed: jim tan laundry we are ready to go zai. jedediah: whoever picked the music is brilliant. pete: that would be you. jedediah: tailgating on fox square. jedediah this morning happy to have you. tailgating. a lot of us are conflicted about football. special the nfl. so many bad distances being taken. jedediah: this is my football. i got it from outside. very kind. i needed something because

you have the big football here. pete: i'm for the teams that don't kneel as we are on this program and my vikings have not. so we're going to talk a little bit about football. also, you have a few fears that you have been kind enough to tell us about. jedediah: i went to production meeting and i said oh, i like cuddly animals and all the things i mentioned i like what are you afraid of. everything i mentioned i'm doing. it's now programmed into the show. pete: i hear you don't like reptiles. jedediah: snakes not a fan don't think i'm going to do the video. where is it? like what's happening? ed: stay tuned later this you hour we have a visitor or two. jedediah: you can't trust these two. i know now. pete: greatest fears. jedediah: several of them. steve: we will talk about them.steve. ed: sky diving. mid terms coming up.

the democrats have been searching for someone to take on president trump because they don't seem to have anyone who can really take them on. so, what they did, they went back to the future yesterday. and they said, you know what? we don't really have a giant to take out. pete: back to the future. ed: let's go back to barack obama who talked about all these norms being broken under president trump. but didn't really want to get too deeply into that used to be a norm about former presidents leaving the staining once they left office. jedediah: they should have just went with spartacus he was do so well. one thing about george bush he exited so gracefully. he said i'm going to leave the stage. i'm going to let president obama do his job and i don't want to be, you know, constantly -- this was just -- this looks like one of president obama's campaign speeches when i have seen a million times. my favorite part is when he comes in and talks about medicare for all. because everyone thought that obamacare was step one for medicare for all and there he is just now completely saying this is what we want to do.

ed: embracing bernie sanders agenda. pete: barack obama doing what george bush didn't do stepping into politics right before the midterm. here is obama. >> it did not start with donald trump. he is a symptom, not the cause. he is just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years. demagogues promise simple fixes to complex problems. the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the republican party. when you hear how great the economy is doing right now,. [laughter] let's just remember when this recovery started. we puzzled the economy out of crisis but to this day too many people who once felt solidly middle class still feel very real and very personal economic inel security. ed: at the end he actually made an important point which is that the middle class is fearful. after eight years of obama

they were not better off. which he doesn't want to admit number one. number two, rather than speaking to that saying here's what we're going to do for the middle class it, seems to me jedediah the democrats are struggled with what they were going to do compared to president trump. bunch of fear mongers. attack the deplorables. >> no pro-growth message coming from the left. how do you run against prosperity and people having more jobs and money in their bank account and being able to put food on the table? people are doing better. it's in the numbers. the proof is in the pudding. in order to run against that all can you do is fear monger. that's all they have left. pete: you run against donald trump. correction, mr. former president. hihis title is president donald trump. they do intentionally want to discredit him and invalidate the election and what you voted for. you voted for this man now the president of the united states. the left wants to pretend he was never president. they are infected with trump

de rangement syndrome. this is a boring predictable speech. it was the resist movement just like laid out. he said nothing original at all. he did nothing but identified at this politics. ed: that's all they have. president obama mentioned himself over 100 times. jedediah: shocking. ed: and the president had what might have been the perfect reaction. >> i'm sorry i watched it, but i fell asleep. [laughter] he was trying to take credit for this incredible thing that's happening to our country dry. if the democrats got -- i have to say this to president obama and it wasn't him, but would have been the same thing u if the democrats got in with their agenda, in november of almost two years ago, instead of having 4.2 up, i believe, honestly, you would have 4.2 down. you would be negative. you would be in negative numbers right now. isn't this much more

exciting than listening to president obama? pete: he talks about the contrast ultimately. i think part of the reason president obama hates president trump so much is he is undoing his legacy from the iran deal to the individual mandate. supreme court pick. paris climate accord, defeating isis. the border, tpp, taxes, israel, whatever you want, it's the exact opposite. he can't stand that he has got it speak out. jedediah: is he also very good. it bothers democrats republicans have people good at these things u took icialg with sarah palin. she was able very compelling getting a crowd riled up. trump does the same thing. he resonates with people. feel like they are talking with someone in heir own family they can relate. to say this drives democrats crazy hard time doing it. that elitist approach does not work. pete: lead us in prof solar,. ed: publish podesta inside the administration.

the "new york times" admitted that saying we believe it's in the public interest for the american people to know that there is a very senior person, they claim, inside the trump administration who believes that they are frustrating his efforts. that they are trying to prevent him from doing damage to the country. well, the president is obviously frustrated about that. yesterday said it's time for the attorney general to actually investigate this because he believes it's a national security problem. pete: this is the president talking about what could be done in the justice department potentially about what the "new york times" is doing. listen. >> do you think jeff sessions should be investigating hot -- >> i think. so i think it's national security. yeah, i would say jeff should be investigating who the author of that piece was because i really believe it's national security. pete: it's not certain exactly what that would look like. i think the larger argument. jedediah: or if it's doable at all. pete: if you have elected a president constitutionally and then have you people

inside his own government working against him, that doesn't feel like something that should happen inside our republic. let's get to the bottom of that. jedediah: it's very scary. this president needs to be careful who h surrounds himself with. is he learning that lesson. someone could go out there and dish on the administration. very scary. you never know could it be national security detail next? what is coming down the pike next? it's very scary. ed: the president has been prodding him on a whole bunch of issues and he hasn't done everywhere when the president pushes him. the president has been saying among other things why don't you go after the fbi and bruce ohr and the justijustice department. the actual russia investigation seems to be falling apart frankly. had you a big development this week where roberts mueller special counsel indicate to the president's legal team we will take written answers to collusion. suggested that they don't have anything on collusion. yesterday they finally produce george papsd who

had. pete: they got him. ed: they sentence him to 14 days in prison. pete: not 1400. 14 days? ed: this man's life has been turned upside down because of a meeting he had with a diplomat that has proven nothing in terms of quote, unquote, collusion, you see people standing outside the courthouse in washington. he walks in with his wife. team putin, here we go. we got him. what they got was 14 days in jail. ed: you don't want to minimize. pete: you shouldn't lie to the fbi. ed: he should have told the truth. after all of this talk about collusion, 14 days in jail. jedediah: it's crazy but you have to look at the des per ration on the part of people on the left and the media to make this story happen. i'm all for if there is evidence of collusion i'm all for bringing that to the surface we need to know. this investigation has been going on for a very long time. until i see something that's when i will start worrying about it. for now i'm looking at

policies amazing people focused on collusion can't give the president an ounce of credit when it comes to jobs or g.d.p. pete: he thinks through the lends of a businessman. this tweet laying it out for you. 14 days for 28 million bucks, $2 million a day, no collusion. a great day for america. ultimately pointing out we are spending a lot of money with a lot of democrats lawyers to investigate this president. and this is what we get. and, we should note that the president's attorney, rudy giuliani has said they are not going to answer even written questions. so, it appears that they are in standoff. ed: by of the way they still have the door open there could be some conversation with the special counsel down the road. giuliani also said they wanted a report by labor day or at least beginning of september. here we are, we are getting -- we are right here within that 60-day window where the justice department guidelines are. you are not supposed to indict people and do something that would influence the midterm elections and, yet, robert

mueller hasn't produced a report. jedediah: that's true. we are turning again to your headlines. the u.s. is considering options chemical weapons in idlib. top military general is discussing plans with president trump envoy syria is planning to attack the territory. some people in syria are already preparing. president trumwaging wildfire put one of the america biggest trade routes off of commission. shut down until at least tomorrow. delta fire is 0 percent contained and scorched more than 31,000 acres u flames burning on both sides of the highway destroying guardrails and signs. interstate 5 north and south from mexico to canada. bill daily, the actor best known for his role classic sitcom i dream of genie has died ♪ ♪ his family saying he

>> job numbers are great. the job numbers have been incredible. almost from the beginning. it took me a few months to get the engine started. we did that with regulation. we did that by freeing it up. pete: or unregulating. that was president trump touting the august job report with 201,000 jobs added to the economy. and the unemployment rate holding steady at 3.9%. jedediah: while in office less than two years, president trump has set u.s. economic growth on fire. how did he do it? here to break it down financial analyst heather zoomroga thank you for joining us today. >> good morning. jedediah: what would you say would be the chief policies that president trump instituted that enabled this economic boon. >> it's very simple de regulation and tax cuts. we had the highest corporate

tax rate in the developed world at 35%. he slashed that to 21% so we can be more computative now. businesses can be on a global scale de regulating the economy. small business in a big way according to george washington regulatory study. 74% of regulation activity has been cut so far under president trump's administration. pete: heather, some of his critics have tried to say that's all good. 401(k)s are up, the g.d.p. is up. average working man still isn't seeing it. now we are seeing date that that contradicts even that attempt to sour this economy. hourly -- average hourly earnings up 2.% in the month of august. wages are rising. that's a huge indicator that the economy is booming for everybody. >> it is. there was only one piece missing from the economic expansion and that's wage growth, pete. and wages are hot right now. we have over 2.9% wage growth year over year.

people are coming back to work off the slings not just because of a full employment labor market meaning there is a job out there for you. only 6.7 million people looking for a job right now. but wages are going up. meaning you can make more money if you do come off the sidelines and you say hey, i want a job. the economy is great and confidence is increasing across the board. jedediah: heather, would you say it's fair for trump to take credit for which economic boom. president obama gave a speech and seemed to imply we started this recovery, trump shouldn't take credit for that and trump is saying no, i should. where do you stand on this? can he take credit for it. >> i think president trump can take credit for it his policies can be tied directly to g.d.p. at 4.2%. the highest in four years. the lowest levels of unemployment in 50 years. consumer confidence is at 18-year highs. this is all because of tax cuts and de regulation.

he has done great job. pete: heather, briefly, how does he keep it going? what more could he do. >> we're are looking at tax cuts 2.0 this month. speaker paul ryan and kevin mccarthy are saying let's push through making these tax cuts permanent on the individual side. meaning more money in your pocket at the end of the day. you can spend it much better than the government can. and his pro-growth policies on de regulating the economy have really helped. and they will continue to. pete: heather, good stuff. we appreciate it thanks for your time this morning. >> you got it. pete: former president obama unleashing on republicans. >> politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the republican party. pete: notice i said president obama. he should try that out for size when it comes to president obama. dan bongino says obama's speech was loaded with political garbage. is he fired up yet.

might hide legitimize himat eve. you watched the speech. >> it was grateful. i really don't have a problem with former presidents speaking out. i know the norm has been for former presidents to remain silent and allow their successor to govern effectively. i really don't have an issue with that no rule about that. constitutional republic and barack obama is a free citizen. what was disgraceful about that is barack obama was one of the most divisive presidents in american history, pete, constantly relying on identity politics to put people into boxes the democrat party chose and barack obama highlighted and then singing them against one another. remember, when barack obama left office, upwards of 60% of people said the country was headed in the wrong direction, one of those reasons was not just the economy. it was the fact that people were tired of this constantly throwing the flames on this fire of racial division in the country. it was a disgraceful

episode. pete: you were ready for him if you recall. his former advisor ben rhodes wrote in his book he said this in his book this is what obama said maybe this is what people want. sometimes i wonder whether i was 10 or 20 years too early. he was ahead of the curve, dan. >> i was watching a show last night for a second or so i turned off fox. i was watching this show and about some people in kentucky who had chosen to help this person out in a grocery line who ran out of money. remember, these people in kentucky and the other hart land americans who are called deplorables by others. these are the people who supposedly, as you just said weren't ready for obama as ben rhodes said. this is this elitist snob outlook. this bow ty wearing crowd in washington, d.c. who forgets who actually trucks their goods who makes this country. there are people out there working for a living tired of being talked down to by elitist goofballs in the coastal bubbles they live. in no, we were ready for

barack obama. barack obama wasn't ready for america. >> dan, tell us how you really feel about this. >> i know. i need to open up a little more. ed: i live in washington i will stand up for is that and should jeff sessions -- >> i speak from experience. i was a secret service agent under barack obama. i resigned. i didn't retire. i didn't take my benefits and my healthcare. i'm not looking for anybody's pat on the back. i just disagreed strongly with the direction barack obama was taking the country and so i walked away. this op-ed writer is a coward. is a church. i'm actually horrified that a scintilla of my tax dollars, if it's one one thousanthousand of a cent is pa. if you believe grievances

>> 14 days, ed. we find out, too is john solomon has been reporting at the hill george papadopoulos wasn't interviewed for six months after the fbi learned about this guy supposedly playing an integral role in the collusion scandal. this the biggest scam in american history. we are all being played for suckers. if you belief in this hoax i advise you seek mental help immediately. pete: 13 days and a wake-up. not even 14 days. that's all i got in the clink. ed: dan bongino. we can't top that. the president promising to build that wall. >> we started the wall. we have spent now close to $3.2 billion. but we are looking to get the rest of the funding. we are getting wall done. ed: there was a handsome guy next to him firing up the crowd. we will get into that maybe later. we will discuss the president's new plan to

that happen. probably myself included. they will stifle it as long as they can including after the election. the wall -- i'm telling you, we will play it later on in the program. i talked to some regular trump supporters in montana. building the wall remains a-number one for a lot of his supporters. have you got to stay laser focused on making that happen. ed: republican leaders on the hill talk a good game on it but they haven't backed it up so far. they are telling the president don't force this shut down, show down before the election. pete: everything else seems to be priority to fund except the president's priority. jedediah: this is one his chief campaign promises this is a guy set out to do. congressional republicans give the president a hard time. always don't shutt down the government. they don't want to shut down the government because politically the media will paint that badly for them. what i say sometimes first of all when you shut down the government the whole government doesn't shut down. such a media talking point. ed: media will paint it

negatively. jedediah: either way. may a. as well secure the border. pete: paint it either way. great point. jedediah: turning now to headlines, illegal immigrant charged in a cold case murder is now behind bars thanks to facebook. victor will plead 30 years after the brutal killing of his sister-in-law in dallas. d.n.a. connecting the illegal to the 1996 murder. 20 years later the victim's daughter used facebook to find him. he was living under alias in utah. self-proclaimed spartacus, cory booker strikes again. >> i will say that i did willingly violate the chair's rule on the committee confidential process. this is about the closest i will probably ever have in my life that i am spartacus moment. jedediah: you may remember the democratic senator's outburst during brett kavanaugh's nomination hearing for the supreme court. it was revealed those documents were already cleared for release. now booker is putting forth

jedediah: doj announcing investigate whether free speech. executives grilled over censorship on capitol hill. is it a good idea for government to take action regulating big tech companies? here to discuss is former senior advisor to hillary clinton and the author of microtrends squared mark penn. hey, mark, so glad to have you today. >> good morning. >> good morning. now, i am concerned about big government. i'm a libertarian conservative. are you a little bit worried if the government gets involved in regulating twitter, facebook, google, whatever it may be? could it be a slippery slope that people should be concerned about? >> well, the problem that we are facing now is that big tech could become big brother because originally the tech platforms preached openness in response almost to political movements here, they seem to have gone the other way and become, in many ways arbitrary and can capricious about who they will allow and who they won't allow on the platform at any given time. so there are no clear rules of the road. so this is unusual call for

regulation that actually is to keep the platforms open and free, rather than to do the opposite. and i think that's probably what's needed here unless they get their act together. jedediah: aren't you concerned about this argument of government picking winners and losers. you already have concerns that media organizations stifle conservative speech and free thought. and, if you look, it would really depend on hot administration is in favor of and concerns about will they use their ideology, that administration then, to affect these organizations that are supposed to be impartial? >> well, that's why the point of any new rules would be to create openness, transparency, fairness right now i think the supreme court has a bunch of free speech standards because they only apply to rules congress could make, they don't apply to the tech companies so they can decide how to impose their political will one way or another when they are sheffielded from being the media company. they are not libel for what's on their content. so what's happened here is platforms are becoming media

companies, if we don't say hey, look, if you are going to have some standards, they should be the standards of the supreme court, imminent violence or community decency and be who is going to decide you really have to have people who are liberal, moderate and conservative make open, transparent decisions. otherwise, there is going to be tremendous distrust here of technology and a real lack of free speech. jedediah: so but are you saying that you would trust the government more to do this than these private entities? >> no. what i would trust is the government to set up a scheme where the companies have to have transparency, have to have a process, have to explain it, have to have a right to appeal. look, what's also happening now is bots make mistakes. i had an ad for a political game and they pulled it off saying it's a political ad for a candidate. burt reynolds' picture yesterday was pulled off by a bot and then had to be restored because they said it was nudity when it wasn't. so, what's also happening

here is anonymous bots are enforcing censorship. we have got it keep the internet open and unfortunately we may need some rules to do that. jedediah: have to keep it open but i would always be weary in government intervention in areas like this because you never know where it starts sometimes is not ultimately where it lands. thank you for being with us today. i really appreciate it? >> thank you. jedediah: president trump taking his message to voters in big sky country. >> i love this message. think we need to be serious about making america great again. >> promises made, promises kept. >> i'm thankful for what he has done. >> security is huge for montana. >> montana natives next. it's time to face my fears. uh-oh. we are getting wild on "fox & friends" with a python. wait, what? and more next. ♪ ♪

said barack obama and not president obama? the media would go nuts. some sort of a racist dog whistle, whatever they would choose. yet, barack obama says donald trump being, not president trump. because in their mind he is not legitimate. and that's the whole underlying point of every argument they make and never should have happened. we want to roll it all back. we are going to impeach this guy. and when he says that, he is saying that about you, not just. ed: he said i never tried to shut down fox news he came after that a lot. i know first hand james rosen was a reporter here who had his phone records gone through by the obama justice department. let's not forget that maggie haverman at the "new york times" is not usually your friend and she tweeted to be fair she retweeted barack obama saying i never went after fox and she said hang on a second you vastly increased leak investigation. so we hear all this oh, donald trump, president trump is trying to chill the media. leak investigations of media

when hillary was winning or people thought she was going to win on the day of the election, the stock market dropped 900 points. as donald trump's chances increased, that night, it rallied to the morning with a 300 point gain. that was a 1400 points swing on one night. i think obama wants to take credit for that? >> will his speech work though, sebastian? his goal obviously is to get democrats to turn out in midterm elections to buy into this race baiting and this divisive nonsense. will it be successful? >> that's a great point jedediah. it was identity politics. it was absolutely shameful when he said that we conservatives, donald trump, the administration targets people because they look different. really? well then i have one question for former president obama. how is it that in just one year the approval rating for donald trump amongst the

black american population has doubled? is obama going to take credit for that? this is going to help donald trump. it's going to help the democrats. why? because most americans can see through it and have had enough of the divisive identity politics. ed: dr. gorka your specialty is national security policy. is it a coincidence former president obama didn't mention syria and at red line he didn't enforce and 8 years of north korea where he didn't make any progress in stopping them getting nukes? >> i don't know if it's a coincidence but he clearly lives in an alternate universe. i mean, the fact that let's go back to that little moment with russia, that we don't -- this administration doesn't take russia sir usually, really? so which administration sent hillary clinton as secretary of state to the kremlin to them a cheesy plastic reset button? who was that? who was that after a russia

broke a 70 year taboo by invading its neighbor and taking their territory in crimea? didn't do anything except ship blankets to ukraine. donald trump shipped anti-tank missiles. he didn't mention it because his whole 8-year presidency was an embarrassment when it comes to everything from the economy to national security, ed. jedediah: what do you think trump's best way to respond to this would be, if you could advise him this is what you should say when something like this happens. this isn't the first time as you know. >> simply compare the 8 years of obama to the 18 months of president trump. i decide who is better for the country. donald trump or the divisive democrats. it's that easy. ed: dr. gorka we appreciate you coming in. jedediah: thank you so much. >> all right. ed: former campaign advisor gets two weeks in prison. remember when the media thought george papadopoulos was the smoking gun that was going to bring the president down? >> papadopoulos information has the one key word that should frighten everybody in

professor, a lot of people were claiming months ago that this was going to somehow prove russian collusion. >> well, it certainly hasn't done that and i think it reflects what a lot of judges feel that the law today, that permits people to be prosecuted for lying without taking an oath is very dangerous to all americans there should be a law that says you can't be prosecuted for lying unless you put your hand on the air on a bible and said you swear to tell the truth. the fbi finds it so easy and the prosecutors find it so easy to approach somebody. talk to them on the street. ask them a question. get them to tell somebody which is then contradicted and suddenly they have committed a felony there is a lot of feeling that there is a lying under oath to congress and telling a fib somebody talking to you whether an fbi agent or a prosecutor sentence reflects that the sentence reflects that the alleged liar or the

lie was not particularly material to the investigation claim interviewing a witness which they might otherwise been allowed to interview. the judge, obviously, by his sentence, indicated that he wasn't impressed with that argument. and that's why we have judges. prosecutors shouldn't be the ones that determine in the end the truth or the extent of the truth or the sanction for telling an untruth. pete: professor, we are a long way from when he originally pleaded guilty and everyone thought that was the beginning of the end, the russia investigation, the walls are closing in and we heard time and time again. this is how the media framed the original guilty plea. listen. >> guilty plea from a former trump campaign advisor named george papadopoulos and even bigger bombshell. this time pointing directly to the question of collusion. >> how is it not collusion when george papadopoulos is in contact with various people who are promising dirt on hillary clinton.

>> papadopoulos information has the one key word that should frighten everybody in the white house and that key word is guilty. >> wow. >> jim acosta was all over it bombshells everywhere. now, here we are 14 days. >> well, i thought there was a weakness right away in the beginning because they indicted him for the weakest charge, that is lying to an fbi agent instead of conspiracy to collude or conspiracy to commit some crime in relation to russia. charging somebody with lying to law enforcement official is usually a signal that they don't have a strong case against the person. and that's obviously what happened here. ed: professor dershowitz last question. what signals do you read that special counsel mueller has indicated to the trump team can you get written answers on collusion? >> well, i think we are seeing a charade where both sides know that the president is not going to sit down and talk. but, each side would like to be able to say oh, i wanted

to talk or i wanted to give him an opportunity to talk, and it's his fault. i hope we will also mention just for one minute, i know you asked my to talk about the 25th amendment, and my friend, senator warren calling for its invocation. you really have to read the 25th amendment and understand it was never intended to medicalize a political differences. even president obama yesterday used the term paranoia. it's very dangerous when we try to psychiatricize political differences. that's not what the 25th amendment was about. it was about a president who was shot or a president who was having a psychotic break and didn't know the difference between right and wrong. it was not intended as a substitute for impeachment. and we ought to get off that as soon as possible. otherwise, we will really, really undercut the important meaning of the 25th amendment. ed: all right, professor. thank you for helping us separate fact from fiction as well this morning. good to have you. pete: thank you, sir. >> thank you.

89% of people ice regard last year had a criminal history. not only violating the law they are a criminal that's who shoulden in jail. if she wants to resist or put her political future ahead of that of her taxpayers, now what happens is that ice didn't miss a beat. we found replacement beds in a matter of hours. it's not hurting us. who she is hurting is the very people she claims to be protecting by moving aliens away from their families, away to their attorneys to a more remote location and costing the taxpayers have to make up $7 million difference to run that facility. she hurt everybody she is supposed to be representing. et. pete: tom, is there any other rationale for this other than ice is now to be accomplished by the far left. i want to be a darling of that left. therefore, i'm going to make my stand. is there any -- what argument would she make other than i don't like the policies of donald trump? >> you said it exactly right. i can't add to what you said. you are exactly on point there. look, this is anti-trump.

antiadministration. and, you know, if you think about it, what she is doing is, you know, she is supposed to be representing taxpayers. what she did is putting them in a bad way. and ice is going to do their job and, you know, first reason for wanting ice out of the facility is that she was horrified by the fame separation on the border i would like to remind her ice didn't separate families on the border that was a different agency. i support what they did. i'm not vilifying it she needs to get her agency straight for what issue. this comes down to resistance and comes down to grand stand for political future. pete: tom, so much focus on ice, special coming from the left. the president says he supports it. like the majority of americans. how is your average rank and file ice officer these days? how are they affected by the hysteria around this issue? i will tell you i retired two months ago when i retired morale at all-time high i used to read the --

say is himself, it takes away from the sport. it takes away from everything that we want to do on sunday which is to get away from politics and just watch football. pete: i know where you are coming from. you want to advance patriotism and unity and love our country. why would nike be taking -- why are they diving into a cultural flash point at all when they want to sell apparel? >> i think it's a lack of understanding or a lack of care and concern from that smaller minority of the population that, you know, maybe finds it overtly offensive. and i don't represent every single veteran out there. you are a veteran yourself. i have got buddies out there that called me and said i support people who want to do stupid things. even though i'm not going to take a knee. i support them doing those actions. that's what most people are saying nate boyer a special forces guy turned nfl player for the seahawks. he actually went to kaepernick and said very least modicum of respect take a knee. that's what he has been doing. i'm asking him to take that

>> it certainly was. if i may, first, give my respect to the family and friends of burt reynolds, now that he's gone. it's just me and tom selleck, the last of the mustached machos. i sort of missed barack obama also. he's eloquent person, he gave me two of the greatest moments of my life, when he was elected in 2008 for an old long-haired radical street lawyer, you know, pushing for progressive radical change. it was great to see a black man finally ascending to the highest office in the land. then the charleston massacre, when he sang "amazing grace" tears were flowing down my face. so he's capable of soaring rhetoric. i also thought that here he is again as kind of the reason i kind of cooled on him as a politician, so too cool for

school, so in crowd, ivy league, kind of snobby. pete: mentioned himself more than 100 times. he was going to be mr. unifier. >> i hear what you're saying. mr. unifier is now saying this. listen to president obama. >> it did not start with donald trump. he is a symptom, not the cause. he's just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years. we're supposed to stand up to bullies. politics of division or resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the republican party. when you hear how great the economy's doing right now, let's just remember when this recovery started. ed: so you know, you don't call him president trump. you call him donald trump. the disrespect is seething. >> the problem is that everything president obama just

said about donald trump, you could say the opposite. he's claiming credit, really the credit is mine. i started it, you just continued it. it's very unseemly. it is in his own, i use that word elegance, in his elegant way he's as sharp-elbowed partisan as everybody else. more importantly, from the point of view of the democratic party, the democratic party moved way to the left of barack obama. barack obama was a very, very cautious 44th president. he never rose to the promise of those tears i described in november 2008. he governed as a kind of -- first of all, he was totally on the defensive most of the time. mitch mcconnell and the republicans were blocking almost everything he did. he was frustrated. he totally screwed up in libya. his presidency i think, while he will continue and rightfully to

be regarded as someone who was spectacularly important in terms of the fabric of american social life, in terms of what he accomplished as a president, i think historians will give him kind of a middle grade, not unlike what president trump is at now. i just wish they could cheer the bounty of this amazing economy, the lifting all boats. jedediah: i've got to get to this anonymous "new york times" op-ed because the president is now coming out and saying jeff sessions should investigate who this was. i'm just wondering, do you think this is something donald trump should be involved in? does it run the risk of him looking like he's meddling in the justice department? what's your advice to him? >> jedediah, i'm so angry over that op-ed piece. i understand the president's fury about it. here's this supposed insider trying to portray the president of the united states as kind of a "cane mutiny" about to explode

at any moment. i think it is so disrespectful. it is absolutely untrue. i have known the president for over four decades. many of the people around him, i have known for a very, very long time. again, decades. there's nothing crazy about them. you may disagree with their politics. the president tends sometimes to be impetuous. he can be thin-skinned, particularly on twitter, but to portray him as a risk, as slim pickens in "dr. strangelove" is really -- jedediah: is it a national security risk that would warrant sessions getting involved, the department of justice getting involved? >> no. no. pete: you have a duly elected president who people inside his administration are trying to undo and resist and basically work against that duly elected president. he calls it virtually treason. how do you push back on that? it's a strong charge but you are

undermining your own government. >> major, what you don't do is call for jeff sessions to help you out. attorney general jeff sessions couldn't find his slippers by his bedside. there are no national security implications to this. ed: what if he's in the pentagon or national security council? >> it doesn't matter. he could be double-talking our allies or double-talking our enemies. jedediah: to me, the risk is if you let it go and don't do something, what's going to come down the pike next? right now you don't have any national security information revealed but if they feel empowered they can undermine the administration from within, what comes next? >> i want the rats down. don't get me wrong. i think the west wing generally, i made this observation before, is a cabal of back-stabbing, self-serving, washington

insiders. many in the senior civil service, also the permanent state, the deep state, if you will, these people are totally self-serving. they will do anything to get a free meal and a drink from a grateful reporter. i think it is absolutely unseemly. but the president has to know that that comes with the territory. there's no national secrets revealed here, national security secrets revealed here. i think he has to move on. he's doing a great job. the people that love him, love him. the people that love barack obama, love him or whoever the democrats ultimately pick to carry their banner forward. but going back to where we started this discussion, even though seeing barack obama was like seeing an old pal, there he goes, thatta boy, i hope his life is good and i hope the children are good and wow, he's got a kid in college now and all the rest. you see him as an old friend, a fellow american, you want to embrace that aspect of him, but politically, i think that he's a

dud. i don't think that that politics, the politics of moot court, as it were, i don't think that that's what's going to save us. ed: we had deep throat, now my friend bill in florida gave me a new one. we had deep throat, what's happening now with president trump is sore throat. we can expose sore throat, find out who leaked this op-ed.

jedediah: president trump taking his message straight to supporters in montana ahead of the midterms but what do the voters think? pete: here is our partners. this is what president trump had to say about kim jong-un. let's see how it resonated with voters. >> kim jong-un said some terrific things about me. he said very strongly that we want to denuclearize north korea during president trump's tenure. even if he didn't, we got our hostages back. there's been no more missile testing. it's a good feeling. he likes me, i like him. who knows what's going to happen? pete: this surprised you a little bit? >> it surprised me a lot. he likes me, i like him? we're talking kim jong-un, yet look at the reactions. republicans gave it an a, independents gave it a b.

he still gets a lot of credit for what happened in north korea. people are still optimistic despite criticisms recently. you can see the results there. jedediah: let's take a look at what he said about funding the wall and what people said. >> democrats also want open borders. and all of that equals massive cost, massive, and massive crime, and massive tears. republicans want strong borders. we want to finish the wall. we have to get the republicans, we'll get things we want. we've started the wall. we get the rest of the funding, we're going to get it. >> this is something that's really important to watch. how the independents are reacting, that's really going to dictate what happens in the midterms. independents right there gave it a b. republicans, they are tracking along with republicans on the president's message. democrats gave it an f. i think it is really critical democrats start to get a handle now on how people view immigration. this idea of getting tougher on immigration, on border security, is really important to the

american people. the democrats trying to say we will abolish i.c.e. and go the other way is turning people off. ed: the president meanwhile told me something i didn't know, which is there was fake news back when abraham lincoln was president. watch. >> you know what, abraham lincoln made the gettysburg address speech, the great speech. did you know he was ridiculed and excoriated by the fake news. they had fake news then. 50 years after his death, they said it may have been the greatest speech ever made in america. that's going to happen with us. ed: jim acosta and abe lincoln really went at it. that's what he seemed to be saying. what do voters think about that? >> you can see. this again, surprising, republicans gave him an a. independents, a b. i was shocked. oftentimes the president refers himself to great presidents. a lot of people said you know

what, i will look back, we will look back at this president and history will be kind to him, not hard. they really felt this was accurate. pete: they feel he's making a larger point, the fake news point, kim jong-un. listen, they're not buddies but getting a deal is better than war on the peninsula. >> a lot of people have gotten to the point they're not taking the president quite so literally. a lot of people on the left take everything he says so literally, like how could he say something like that. that's not the way people think. it's an overall sentiment, an optimism people have. while people on the left might scratch their head and not understand it, it's resonating and it's working. it's really important if you are going to try to fight him, you understand what it is that's working. ed: thanks for coming in. meanwhile, former president barack obama now says republicans are divisive and paranoid. is this the right message heading into the midterms? plus, jedediah faced her fears earlier.

pete: a little bit of her fears. ed: what would she do if she ran into this? jedediah: what? (door bell rings) it's open! hey. this is amazing. with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, are you okay? even when i was there,

i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

pete: welcome back. couple of quick headlines for you. a cruise ship will soon be back on the move after being stranded off the coast of massachusetts. i didn't know this. the vessel, carrying 351 people, was stuck for nearly six hours after a loss of cooling water forced the engine to shut down. the ship's power has since been restored. it will complete a 17-day trip

from iceland to new york after inspection today. take a look at this breathtaking video of dolphins swimming in what they call a superpod, chasing their next meal. the remarkable scene happening off california's monterrey bay. experts believe the whole whale group is thought to be more than 1,000 dolphins. dolphins scare me more than sharks. i don't know why. ed: remember when hillary clinton said trump voters were deplorables in 2016. now former president barack obama is sharing his own ideas about americans who voted for the president and what he thinks about them. >> neither party has been exclusively responsible for us going backwards instead of forwards, but i have to say this. over the past few decades, the politics of division and resentment and paranoia has unfortunately found a home in the republican party.

guy benson, tammy bruce and rochell erich e richie, good moo all of you. is this a sign of democrats not still quite getting the trump voter? they are either deplorable or paranoid? >> i love it that obama's back. he's a reminder of everything that's gone wrong. the fact is when he said donald trump was a symptom, that is another reflection of the fact they resent him, because they do resent his voters, and i think they resent, certainly barack obama does, the nature of the american voter, the average person, and what we want is for our own lives to get better. it's another reflection, of course, that some things never change. mr. obama referred to himself i think, what, 104 times in 62 minutes. that's another sense of what matters to certain leadership is themselves. we are rejecting that in congress and rejecting it in national leadership. that's why you see interesting

democratic races turning out as they are. what the american people want, both democrats and republicans, is a congress and is a leadership in washington that looks to our future as opposed to their own. i think, look, he lost 1,000 democrat seats when he was president, and i like that he's back. ed: how do you see it? >> i was really, really excited to see president obama back and speaking. it was nice to see some sort of civility return to politics and some sort of decorum but at the same time, now that i'm looking at the headlines, looking at the commentary, seeing what's being said on national television, i have to say i kind of wish he didn't come out. the reason why is because i think president obama did so much for our country as far as the unemployment rate, and now, it just seems like this is going to be a battle between obama and trump. that is what trump will capitalize on and it's going to inspire his base to come out even more. i love president obama, i certainly respect him, but i think he has so much poise, he's

fair, he's partial and i don't think he should get into this mosh pit of trump politics. ed: what do you think, guy? there has been this tradition that even barack obama mentioned himself, a former president leaving the stage but said i have to get back into this. >> not surprising from obama. i think it's so interesting in the trump era, democrats and liberals decry the abandonment of norms, then abandon norms to fight against trump. this is a fight barack obama chose to pick with the president and the republican party. the clip we just played, one of those lines jumped out at me where he was saying i have to say, the politics of resentment and paranoia have found a home in the republican party in recent years. that is partially true. but he totally neglects to mention, for example, in 2007-2008, polling that showed a majority of democrats believe that george w. bush knew about 9/11 in advance. that's a crackpot smear. and polling in recent months

shows a majority of democrats believe the russians changed vote totals in 2016, which is totally baseless and false. look, i think to lay it all on one side or predominantly on one side is a tendentious argument but one we came to expect from barack obama. ed: something guy just said ties right into what you said a moment ago. he was saying democrats are out there saying trump breaks all these norms, and then they break the norm of a former president. a moment ago, you said to us it was so nice to see barack obama bring civility back. we haven't seen that with donald trump. how then do you explain what happened at the kavanaugh hearings, where from the democratic senators to the liberal protesters, they were anything but civil? >> look, i think the theatrics we saw during the hearings were no surprise. that's what we expect to see. ed: you just told me -- i get it, everyone plays politics but you and many other democrats lecture us about civility and

the president's twitter feed and we have a serious supreme court confirmation hearing and they make it a mockery. >> going back to obama's speech really quick, he also called out democrats saying they didn't need to use the same tactics we are seeing from president trump, and he actually called them out to say look, you guys need to get it together, basically. now, with the kavanaugh hearings, what i will say is it seems republicans seem to forget what happened with merrick garland. he wasn't even considered for a nomination. mitch mcconnell came out and said that was his proudest moment, he wasn't even going to consider his nomination. this is politics. ed: let's get tammy in here. >> look, it's the height of politics to not give someone a hearing. you are using the system in that regard. but what happened at the kavanaugh hearings from the democrats is a reminder about why congressional approval rating is so low. they do theater, they pretend to be something they're not. they make promises they can't

deliver on. they do a song and dance, if you will, and gaslighting and democrats don't like that any more than republicans do. so this is where we come together in wanting something better. you know what, the president, he may not be as smooth as barack obama, but my goodness, our lives are better, aren't they. our future is better as well. that's what the american people want. ed: final point from guy. it seems like the hearings can be summed up with one word, spartacus. >> my gosh, what a clown. i would say overall between the kavanaugh hearings and the obama speech, both of these were very clarifying, unifying and motivating events for the republican party. >> exactly. ed: appreciate all of you coming in. >> thanks, ed. ed: talking about the weekend, the nfl season opener, at least for the first full weekend, wasn't just low on touchdowns. it's low on viewers in the thursday night situation. the nfl ratings flop and your e-mails are pouring in about it.
