the thing, i would much rather they said inventor jeff bezos or entrepreneur jeff bezos or father jeffos. those kinds of things are more meaningful to me. it is an output measure. if you look at the financial success of amazon and the stock and i own 16% of amazon. amazon is worth roughly $1 trillion. that means what we have built over 20 years is $840 billion of wealth for other people, and that is great. that is how it should be. i believe so powerfully in the ability of entrepreneurial capitalism and free markets to solve so many of the worlds problems, not all of them. david: you live in washington state, outside of seattle. the man who was the richest man is named bill gates. what is the likelihood that the two richest men in the world live not only in the same country state, city, but same neighborhood? is there something about that neighborhood we should know about? are there any more houses there for sale?

jeff jeff you know in looking at this in the media coverage of the president. it's particularly from the liberal cable station c.n.n. amisom b.c. it for me it's just hour after hour of virtue signaling you don't learn any new news and you learn about opinions about people that. i personally have almost zero respect for it's the politics of virtual virtuously and that doesn't get us anywhere because there's no debate there's no debate about policy that way go ahead jeff and over if you can if you could go back a few years to toward the end of obama's term and say look democrats the next president can be republican but absent good news stories not going to be some red make red state governor he's going to be a new york city real estate developer with a bunch of beautiful wives who's worked all his life around a letter. because there's survival guide books you just want to start there are all those are. you sure there you go get him. back to. earth. good susan repatriations to look at the rest in seventy years. philippa separate their treasures or. i'm just not up. to me i judge there's. nothing in. there other buildings to look. into him i want to. look. for the dark we. don't want the monarchy and i don't want to go about. something simply. mr need to. tell him. i don't. feel that i will win the war and then you know we'll. all go and. so what are the fall for this idol of the. i think we can agree that the decision to intervene in libya was perhaps

jeff —— jeff sessions. even more likely, although it is unclear whether the democrats would have enough votes to accomplish on impeachment. cocaine production in colombia has risen to record levels — that's according to the united nations. it's the world's largest producer of the drug and the increase comes despite the recent peace deal with farc rebels. the bbc‘s tim allman reports. the coca leaf is a way of life here will stop for generations they have grown it, it used it to make tea, to make medicine, and sometimes to make cocaine. a new figures show columbia is now producing more of the drug than ever before —— colombia. translation: one of the reasons for the increase is the perception that this illegal activity is less of a risk. as a result, coca cultivation increased, investment with agricultural inputs like fertilisers increase, and productivity in plantations has improved —— increased. so what kind of figures are we looking at? the un's offers on drugs and crimes of the total area of the country

he talked to his colleagues and they are going jeff, jeff, please just give us a few more days. jeff is a really good guy. i wouldn't have done it. [laughter] but, please, let's be fair. and jeff is trying to be fair. i just don't see we are going to benefit from anything in terms of i have been doing this most of my adult life. 35 years ago, you know what you know and have you heard what you are going to hear. having said that, this is called democracy. >> people like you who believe that brett kavanaugh is innocent of things he has been accused of. do you think this might help other people in the country feel better about this person on the supreme court if a week from now the fbi comes back and says we're good. >> i think the people in the country are going to feel different lay week from now you can probably put in a phone booth. however, if jeff feels better about it, i feel better about it. >> i'm practical guy. >> senator graham, do you think he was moved after he was con fronted by protesters on his way to vote this morning? >> no. listen, this is jeff flake. i mean, this is

jeff: i get asked this question frequently. david: i thought it was an original question. jeff: no, sorry. you do do that sometimes, but that was not one of them. [laughter] jeff view on this is very simple. all big institutions of any and -- kind and all kinds are going to be, and should be, examined, scrutinized, and inspected. governments should be inspected. government institutions, big educational edge institutions, big companies, they are going to get scrutiny. it is not personal. it is what we as a society want to have happen. that is one thing. i remind people internally don't take this personally. that is a lot of wasted energy. this is normal, healthy, good. and then the second thing is that we are so inventive that whatever regulations are promulgated or however it works, that will not stop us from serving customers. to really, you know, under all, we have kind of, regulatory frameworks that i can imagine, customers will still want low prices. they will still want fast delivery. they will still want big selection. it is really important that politicians and others, they need to understand the value of the big companies and not demonize or vilify bus

jeff in nevada jeff >> caller: jim. >> jeff. >> caller: jeff from las vegas let me just tell you, first off, 25 years of mad respect for following you. love what you do for the people. >> thank you thank you so much. jeff always great to hear really appreciate it thank you. >> caller: the reason i'm calling, we got las vegas stocks here, las vegas sands, wynn, i've been concerned about wynn without the main man steve wynn captaining the ship but now these tariffs and how they should play out for the casino stocks. >> i share with you what i say is a general wing concern that steve wynn not there, wynn can't be as creative or well run because steve wynn for all the issues that may -- that may have happened was by far the best operator in the space. and so, therefore, we pulled back, been trying to recommend some of the domestic casino companies and don't want to mess with macaw or anything having to do with china. look, i have to tell you, skirmish, war, it doesn't matter, it's real bad for business all right. remember that sometimes when you need is a dose of patience to see through the

i am not surprised it moved forward given jeff flake's surprised it moved forward given jeff fla ke's announcement surprised it moved forward given jeffrlier today he was going to vote yes, he would have to break his word to the people but he found a way to have a face—saving compromise and try and getan face—saving compromise and try and get an investigation. it's unprecedented but it's not terribly surprising in light of the conflicts he's been going through over the last week. what about this motion he put forward, were you expecting that? the argument is due diligence, fairenough? that? the argument is due diligence, fair enough? i think he had a last—minute change of heart after being ambushed by the sexual assault survivor in the elevator, he had already committed to voting yes and then she and would other things were going on behind the scenes that we don't know about persuaded him that he ought to take the democrats side and asking for a further investigations so he found a creative way to have his cake and eat it too. i am surprised about the way it came out, i expected him to do it before he announced he was voting yes this

jeff sessions. and -- >> i think that's pretty obvious. >> maybe he hates jeff sessions. he hasn't fired him. he could fire him if he wants to, because he recused himself from involvement in the russia probe -- >> it's unfair to jeff. >> did jeff sessions do the right thing? >> he had to. i've been a lawyer all my adult life. you can't investigate a campaign of which you are a part. so he had to recuse himself, but there's a lot deeper stuff than just that. all i would tell the president, if you want to replace jeff sessions after the election, there are people that could take this job that i think would get confirmed. but here's the bottom line. nobody is going to replace jeff sessions unless they promise the nation to protect mueller and let him do his job. that's the price of admission to be the next attorney general. >> well, the only reason he wants to fire him is because he recused himself from the russia probe. he wants him to protect him, to do what maybe a rio cohn would do to protect him. but that's not the role of the attorney general of the united states. >> right. it's not the president's lawyer, but there's a lot more going on than that. and i think you'll hear about some of it later. >> what else is

jeff. jeff, tell us more about the president's response. >> good evening. a sign of how close the president and his advisers are watching these sentencings unfold, it was just a few minutes after it was announced, the president weighing in like this. let's take a look. he said 14 days for $28 million. $2 million a day. no collusion. a great day for america. that's all he said without elaboration of course. we presume he is talking to the cost of this investigation. at $28 million, but that is in fact incorrect. the entire cost of the whole russia investigation is about 17 million or so. the entire cost of bob mueller's was around 7 million or so this summer, but the despite that, it was interesting the president weighing in on this. earlier today when flying aboard air force one, he was asked about george papadopoulos. he said i don't know him. i barely know him. he distanced himself from him. he was only at one meeting with him during the campaign, but all of this is comeing as this whit house watching this so carefully. coming on the heel of the president asking his department of justice to investigate and find the author of "the new york times" op-ed. one thing he didn't say, what crime did they b possibly commit. president trump asking attorney general jeff sessions tonight to investigate and unmas b k k the author of the anonymous essay. speaking to reporters aboard air force one today, the president calling in a matter of national security. not simply as outrage publicly saying he's ill informed, impetuous and reckless inside the white house. >> i would say jeff should be investigated the author of the piece was because i believe it's national security. >> the president is telling supporters their decision in 2016 is being subverted by a bureaucrat. >> deep state operatives who defied the voter to push their own secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself. i think it's backfired. seriously. >> yet the president made clear he is seething. >> the latest act of resistance is the op-ed published in the failing "new york times" by an anonymous really anonymous, gutless coward. >> struggling to say anonymous, but adding today is search is still on for the person responsible for the op-ed. >> we're going to take a look at what he ha

jeff flake. if it is jeff flake, then this whole thing stops because jeff flake is on the judiciary committee. they need every republican vote on that committee in order to move that confirmation out of the committee. so if they don't have jeff flake on the committee, jeff flake is empowered now to stop the whole thing. >> and, you know, it's interesting. i should tell you that chris coons was just on my show this past hour live. and it was interesting. i asked him if there were not sort of off camera discussions happening among senators and if it's just among democrats or republicans happening, too. and he said i've had conversations with democrats and republicans who are deeply uncomfortable and unhappy with this process on the committee and are trying to find a way to get a brief but appropriate process in place. you've been saying this for a long time, if any 1 one of these senators particularly jeff flake on committee say, listen, i'm just telling you i'm not going to vote until there's an fbi investigation, that is sort of a third way out here. that is sort of a way to get through this pr

jeff sessions justice department. two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. good job jeff. the democrats, none of whom voted for jeff sessions, must love him now. same thing with lyin james comey. the dems all hated him, wanted him out, thought he was disgusting until i fired him.

all jeff sessions pursued these aggressive investigations despite the presumed reaction of the president. sam, another issue for jeff sessions, george papadopoulos contradicts sworn system by jeff regarding a possible meeting between president trump and vladimir putin. the following coming from his sentencing memo. while some in the room rebuffed george's offer mr. trump nodded with approval and deferred to mr. sessions who appeared to like the idea and stated that the campaign should look into it. here's what he said. >> i have no clear recollection of the details of what he said at that meeting. after reading his account and to the best of my recollection i believe that i wanted to make clear to him that he was not authorized to represent the campaign with the russian government or any other foreign government for that matter. i pushed back against his suggestion that i thought may have been improper. >> i pushed back at his suggestion said jeff sessions. is it possible he perjured himself here? >> it's honestly so difficult to know who's lying about lying at this point, isn't it, jim? we have a long way to go from the george papadopoulos statement in the sentencing memo to p

thanks, jeff. jeff zeleny over at the white house. us now, republican congressman chris stewart of utah, a member of the house intelligence committee. thanks for joining us. let's get to the issue. do you think the president should be calling his administration's response to puerto rico, the hurricane there last year, unappreciated, unsung success? >> well, before we talk about that, wolf, can we say -- you know, you and i think agree on some, disagree on other things, but we agree there's danger laying ahead for these people. our thoughts and prayers are with them. we hope that they respond. i spent a lot of time yesterday with first responders. this is another great example. we rely on these guys and god bless them. we just hope for the best over the next few days. now, to your -- >> let me just say, we totally agree on that. of course we hope for the best, we're praying for the best and relying on first responders. you are absolutely right. >> thank you. it is really too bad to see this tragedy in puerto rico. it was a devastating

jeff. >> hi, jeff. >> hi, jeff. >> i'm rachael's ship friend. >> friend. >> yes. i'm going to be hiking with you guys. so that's exciting. got to work off the pancakes, right? how good were those? you try the boysenberry stuff? >> yeah. >> that was good. it's -- >> seth: please welcome back to the show, our good friend, seth rogan, everybody. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ ♪ ♪ >> seth: welcome back. >> thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: always so wonderful to have you here. the last time -- last time i saw you was at "the golden globes," backstage at "the golden globes." >> yes, it was at "the golden globes." and actually, moments after i yo sa i had a horrible ha incident that not spoken about. even -- i think i actually just told my wife about it. was -- it was -- so i saw you at "the golden globes." i was supposed to go on and present a -- like a spiel about "the disaster artist." and i'd say -- someone came up to me. and i was backstage. and they're like, "so you're going to go on in three and i was like, "perfect." and then, i bent down to pick up somethin

jeff's fault. i call jeff and jeff goes emily is not doing her job. i will call you and blame you. so i just want to make sure that we don't eliminate accountability in this kind of biforicated responsibility. >> maybe a good example is gsa already runs the federal business opportunities website. it is the contracting equivalent. >> i know you can do it. >> when there is a problem with it i get the calls even though it is a government-wide policy. >> you are going to regret saying that. >> usa jobs is a tool. hiring has to be taken a look at. whether or not it is usa jobs we are take ag look -- taking a look at the entire system. we have to make sure they are doing their jobs and not trading classifications back and forth. this is like basic hr. we need to get back to the basics and read resumes versus doing the key word searches and getting the things stacked. we need to go back to the basics of how we recruit people. that is important to our organization. i have heard the names. >> this is a committee that couldn't agree more with you. >> it's jeff's fault and jeff can say it is o

jeff greenfield. jeff, there are always dissenters within administrations, between the woodward book and the op-ed piece is something different? >> yes, and i think the difference is staggering, there's always people who will y to challenge a policy from the inside by leaking often to woodward but the nature of these statements are the fact that a high ranking aide takes a piece of paper off the president's desk to keep him from executing a disastrous policy, the endless accounts of people calling the president idiot unhinged that this crazy town, we've never seen anything like this before and what makes it interesting is many of trump' acritics areo criticizing the anonymous op-ed, their argument is look, if you file this strongly the president is a dantier to the on, your job is to resign and say it publicly. but that's, you know, that's really not what's going only . he for all kinds of reasons, and as for i hear the vice presidt saying this might be criminal. reminds me of a joke from the soviet union calling an idiot and being thrown in jail fo vealing a state secret >> why do these people stick around >>there was a now famous resignation by a person that ran the student loan section of consumer finance protection bureau a little while ago. n letter carried rate >> some is the belief i can do tore from the inside in preventing diss some of it is just sheer careerism i got a job, i got a white house car, i like it. but i think the over reason to be fair is a lot of the people are asking what good would it do? in normal times the resignation of hnkigh ng would have a huge impact. but again and ain, we'veeen as ben sassa said the bepublicans have made a bargain, willing to accepvior that is otherwise unacceptable in turn for tax cuts, regulatory form and for the wholesale revamping of the federal bench in that case, the argument may well be if i resign, it's not going to have an impact anyway. >> sreenivasan: any normal week, the big story we'd be talking about now is the third story, is the confirmation hearings you watched them for judge kavanaugh on the supreme court, what did you think >> when she was a young law professor, elana kagen called it a shar raid and boy was she confirmed, this became a par di. you have the allies, they do start with kavanaugh, you have the allies throwing tough questions like well, do you believe no one is above the law? yes, no one s above the law. one day, i want to se a guy me in and say you know what if you have enough money and power, you're above the law, let's street ceo the wall who crashed the economy and the democrats to opposed to him are you going to to offer -- why don't you tell us you're going to overturn roe v wade and the response is well, roe v wade is a predent, which means the same thing as water is wet. all that means is it's a precedence until the court overrulesqwh it. then you got others on the committee who are using this to run their -- launch their presidential campaigns i think we got a subtraction ratdiher tn on to what we need to know about what make as gd judge and i'm not sure this process is any more validity, maybe they can figure out a different way to vet these folks >> jeff greenfield joining us from california. thanks so much. >>> citizens went to the >>reenivasan: last night w told you about what's at stake in the swedish election. today they went to the polls. in the first general election since the country accepted hundreds of thousands s, asylum- seekany from syria. exit polls show the far-right sweden democrats party got close to 20% of the vote. that's a b 13% support they had in the last election. but the party now governing sweden, the center-left social democrats, are project to remain the largest party in parliament. north korea marked the 70th anniversary of its founding with a massive military parade. newsworthy was what was not on display. bethe usual fighter jet flyover, and thousands of marching soldiers, absent were ill willing to denuclearize.he president trump tweeted his iproval writing: "tha big and very positive statement from north korea. thank you to chairman kim." russian and syrian air strikes ntinued in northern syri today. the

jeff sessions? >> it could not be more painfully obviousi inhow many ts various people around him have said we know how much you don't like jeff sessions, you can't fire him. >> he said he was sad, he was confused and he was putting him down at every opportunity. >> and clearly jeffs knows if he quits which a lot of other people would do in this situation, that the senate would not be able to confirm anybody to replace him. >> they can find somebody who's already been senate confirmed and put them in place for temporary term. >> temporary is the keyword there. >> lindsay graham the other day was saying that the president should fire him, and i think a few others came out and said as well, hey, listen, it's a foregone conclusion. >> there's a few things to take note of here. first of all, he went back to his confirmation hearing, which was the reason why he ended up recusing himself. so it's interesting that he's going back to see what testimony he offered then, so that they be something that's going on in the legal team. >> do you think that the president may have rewatched it? >> you're right, there's no filter. but the other thing is i think jeff sessions is going to have an opportunity to rewrite his history a little bit and he may be the one who says i stayed

jeff now. jeff, can you hear me? >> glor: apologies again for some of the communication issues here as we deal with some of the worst of florence as she arrives now. rain is coming sideways, down and up. florence drove more than a million people from their homes, and more than 700,000 lost power. rain ranging from one to 3.5 feet has already fallen, and it's not over. north carolina governor, roy cooper. >> for overall damage, it will be hard at the end of the day, i think, to find a rival for this storm. >> glor: in wilmington, many of the trees that contributed to its historic beauty are now gone. >> this is my street. >> glor: this is your street right here? >> yes. >> glor: george pace returned to his neighborhood and saw his home for the first time, expecting the worst, but discovering only minimal damage. florence may be gone from here by tomorrow, but she will not be forgotten. wilmington mayor bill saffo. >> you can walk faster than the storm is moving. >> glor: there are trees down all over. >> right. >> glor: how long do you think it will be before people get power back? >> it could be anywhere from a sek to two weeks, possibly longer than that in some areas. >> glor: the white house told us today that the president will visit the carolinas some time next week, once they figure out that that visit will not interrupt rescue-and-recovery operations. we're going to move now about 70 miles south of here to myrtle beach, south carolina. don dahler is getting some of the worst of this storm. don, what are you seeing right sw? >> reporter: jeffis is the grand strand. it's 16 miles of beach. it's normally full of tourists this time of year. it injects tens of millions of dollars into the economy. but today it is being whacked with potential rains and near hurricane-force winds. the concern had been that the high tide is expected around midnight tonight, which combined with that storm surge, and 15-18 inches of rain and swamp what is the second fastest-growing metropolitan area in the united states. but now it appears that florence is passing just to our north, the concern has shifted to inland flooding. at just because of all of the rain, but because of a lot of rivers from north carolina flow into south carolina, and as you know, those are already inundated with floodwaters. the result and the main concern now is all of that river water eambined with all the water that's already there. and it affects the infrastructure, the bridges, residences, farms, and other buildings. the cost to south carolina-- if this happens, if the

basically jeff sessions -- jeff sessions has more support from democrats than republicans.opsy turfy. this is a guy who said the voting rights act was an intrusion and worked to roll back gains of the voting rights act. this is a guy who has had lots of anti-immigrant policies come out lots of things that basically the left should be completely disgusted by. and in in some cases certainly are. but the fact is he is what remains between us and another saturday night massacre. and that's why you see democrats saying, okay maybe he has done bad things and we disagree on policy issues. but please don't fire him. because if he goes then possibly the mueller investigation goes with limb. >> quickly if you will david, the mid-terms elections are now just two months away. it's september already. if you are a gop candidate, looking at the numbers, do you start to shy away from trump on the campaign trail? >> well, if you are house republican, no doubt you do. the battle for the house is going to be won or lost in suburban districts across the country that traditionally vote republic

jeff, thank you. jeff zeleny at the white house. we also have some new reporting on the attorney general jeff sessions. to bring in white house correspondent kaitlan collins. where does the attorney general -- what does he think right now? where does he think he stands as far as the president is concerned? >> reporter: well, wolf, he is really come to terms with the fact that the relationship with president trump won't end well one way or another and the request to investigate who it is that wrote that critical op-ed of him isn't going to help. wolf, over the last year and a half now that the president has been attacking jeff sessions at the beginning he said he was going to keep his head down, keep doing his job at the justice department and then as those attacks increased we saw him push back on the president more and more and now even in recent weeks he's acknowledged that that relationship with president trump has only gotten worse. wolf, some days he treats this with humor joking with people looking at the president's twiter feed to see if he has a j.b. and prepared for any outcome that's going to

jeff, please, please just give us a few more days. jeff's a really good guy. i wouldn't have done it but, please, let's be fair. jeff is trying to be fair. i just don't see we're going to benefit from anything. i've been doing this most of my adult life. it's 35 years ago. you know what you know, you've heard what you're going to hear. having said that, this is called democracy. >> do you think this might help other people in the country feel better about this person on the supreme court if a week from now the fbi comes back and says we're good? >> i think the people in the country are going to feel differently a week from now you can probably put in a phone booth. however, if jeff feels better about it, i feel better about it. i'm a practical guy. >> reporter: was he confronted by protesters on his way to vote this morning? >> i mean listen, this is jeff flake. this is what i like about the guy. susan and others take it really seriously. jeff is not a lawyer. this is really hard. i've been in the legal system, you have a lot of emotional decisions to make but the fact pattern leads itself to there's just not enough

majority have moved this on to the full senate, we heard jeff thwaites say he boat was conditions —— jeff fla ke say say he boat was conditions —— jeff he boat was conditioned on a one—week and investigation supporting the democrats views. but thatis supporting the democrats views. but that is only a personal opinion, it's not binding on the republican leadership in the senate especially mitch mcconnell who vowed only one week ago to push through the confirmation of brett kavanaugh as soon as possible. the problem is that if he proceeds goes ahead and has the pull bought in the senate before the fbi investigates there are certain key republican senators that might affect. there is only a 51-49 that might affect. there is only a 51—49 majority for the republicans and jeff flake is one of the si, 51—49 majority for the republicans and jeff flake is one of the 51, so our senators, lisa murkowski of alaska and susan collins of main, and my strong assertion is thatjeff fla ke was and my strong assertion is thatjeff flake was also talking for those two women as well as the democrats so if mitch mcconnell tries to defy this personal view to

jeff. meaning jeff sessions. joining us now are phil mudd, cnn counterterrorism analyst, jackie kucinich and cnn political analyst, and cnn senior political analyst, john avlon. guys, i just want to fact check the president's tweet that he sent out yesterday afternoon that goes against jeff sessions, as though this is jeff sessions' fault. the department of justice is investigating these two men for misusing campaign funds and for insider trading. so, here it is, two long running obama era investigations of two very popular republican congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge just ahead of the midterms by the jeff sessions' justice department. okay, that's not a fact. those aren't true. these were investigations started by the justice department in 2017 when president trump was president. > yeah. let's not forget there is footage of congressman collins making -- taking a call about this insider trading on the white house lawn during a picnic. so, there's so much to unpack here. let's also not forget another person in the trump orbit, paul manafort, when he was convicted, the president said that was unfair. this is long standing. this has as much to do with jeff sessions as it does with the president's own view that the justice department is there to protect hi

jeff flake. and jeff flake says, and i quote: we need to hear from her and i don't think i'm alone on this. before he is willing to vote yes on this. that would mean the democrats would win in the vote. normally you don't have a vote if you are the leadership and the party in power and you are going to get a down vote. there is a lot in the works right now. quick break before the president speaks about his supreme court pick on these allegations. we have that in a moment. our next guest says the pressure is on republicans to investigate these claims and that the pressure is enormous. that's coming up from the fox news deck on this monday afternoon. ♪ ♪ the dell vostro 14 laptop. get up to 40% off on select pcs. call 877-buy-dell today.

jeff session justice department. two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. good job, jeff. by jeff, he means the honorable attorney general of the united states. a minor detail, his attorney general, by the way. and keeping him honest, the two investigations were actually begun during his own administration, not the previous one. the congressmen he is talking about are chris collins of new york and duncan hunter of california, and they were more than fellow republicans and political allies, they were also the first two sitting house members to support mr. trump's candidacy. keening them honest, the president with that tweet not only interfered in two active prosecutions, he flat-out admitted he was doing it out of partisan political motives. there is really no interpretation needed. he just says. so two easy wins in dallas because there is not enough time. there is not clear whether he thinks they shouldn't have been indicted at all, or shouldn't be indicted before the voters could reelect them. they are serious charges. in the case of congressman collinss, alleged insider trading.

jeff flock at the cme, not so bad today, jeff. jeff: been there and done that. t-shirt. yes, at the cme today, oil, you think the president was talking tough on other issues at un, when it came to oil even more so. you know, there's nothing that can screw up an economy like rising fuel prices and that's where we may be headed based on rising oil prices, wti, if you look we are now up less than 20 cents but the real story isn't wti, the story is brent crude, that has been rising not just today but throughout the week -- throughout the last month really if you take a look at the chart. got up to by my calculation 82.22 as high today. that opec says is because of the president's sanctions on iran, the president today at the un said no, it's opec that's screwing up and he put it a whole lot more bluntly than i just did as his want. take a listen. >> opec and opec nations are as usual ripping off the rest of the world and i don't like it, nobody should like it. jeff: there you go. the president on opec. also you talk about russia, russia is not part of opec but they

jeff sessions. jeff sessions actually has-- that's his department. jeff sessions, where are you tonight? solicitor general would likely take other the job. he doesn't have the baggage or the anti-trump bias that so many others have had from the beginning. with that said, i don't know at this hour who to trust in the fbi or the doj, the rank and file. the people that do their job in the field offices every day, i trust in them. those that are upset about this, the most corrupt abuse of power in this country's history, i believe in them. they are as upset, rightly so, as we now are. the president's decision, monday, do declassified documents, 302s, late into the fbi-doj handling of the so-called russia probe. today, the president tweeted ou out, concerning the declassification of documents, they release them, but so doing, they have negative impact on the russia probe. key allies, what allies, what countries? they a called to not release th, and therefore the inspector general has been invited to review these on a case-by-case basis. in the end, i can still declassify it if it moves necessa
