today. even donald trump can t believe he is president. i guess he does relate to the american people after all. i can t believe that guy is president? i know, it s so crazy. bill: this has been a familiar theme and common one at that. the president breaking records for the most jokes from late night comedians during his first 100 days. a new study shows mr. trump has been target number one. the question is why? bernie goldberg, fox news contributor here to talk about this examining the media and much more. bernie, good morning. you ve been watching this and what do you think so far about what you re seeing? well first of all it s a safe bet, bill, that in their personal lives these late night comedians were rooting for hillary clinton, they re liberal democrats probably all of them. so that makes sense. in their professional lives, they were rooting they were praying that donald trump would
the questioner wanted him to give. the questioner asked, was obama behind it? he thought about it. are obama supporters behind it? probably. is he not going to tell the truth about this? why not in a more effective way. pin it on bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. president obama isn t going away. his approval ratings are higher. frame is in a way toward an enemy you will be facing that will be trying to stop you in congress. i m very curious about this resist movement. i d love to see donald trump bring it up tonight because the democrats have staked out such untenable ground saying they ll resist everything t stop donald trump. donald trump can say are you going to resist every funding bill? are you going to resist every judicial nominee? because it just isn t possible they can do this and keep up that kind of opposition. so i think donald trump should have more fun with this and pick a better enemy to pick on.
republican base. not as organized and not as overtly but he identified it and was able to capitalize on it. that s why i m coupalling on republican leaders. you ve seen the truth about donald trump. now p now s the time to stand up and repudiate this. repudiate his misogyny and bigotry. if you can t do that now before november 8th, then what business really do you have leading this country? thank you so much for joining me this morning. thank you. still to come in the newsroom, just call him campaigner in chief. president obama isn t just making the case for hillary clinton, it appears he s making the case for himself too.
room talk. you sort of alluded to that as well, is that what it is to you, just locker room talk? yes, it s kind of two teenage boys. actually, they should behave better, right? correct. and sometimes i said i have two boys at home, i have my young son and i have my husband. melania trump says her husband has apologized for his crass remarks and she has forgiven him. the only thing better than touting your own credentials have having a sitting president do it for you. president obama has been work hard to get hillary clinton into the white house. he s been working hard at shaping his own legacy. the washington post writes this morning, quote, obama has started earlier and seems more publicly strategic than his predecessors about framing his legacy. he s determined to get the jump on his critics about how his presidency is preserved for prosperity. take a look at this web ad from the clinton campaign.
morning. i m a big fan of both your pod casts. so lillian, i want to start with you. sure. your podcast is about how history views our presidents. mr. obama seems to be doing the work for you. did other presidents do that? well, i mean, there s a long history in the american presidency of presidents trying to shape their legacy while they re in office. and it s not uncommon that when a president is close to ending his term, he will go out and campaign for his successor because that s a big part of securing a legacy, is, you know, making sure that the person who follows you in office is going to continue the policies that you put forward. interesting. it s not surprising. it s not surprising. brian, do historians take into account a president s own assessment of his performance? not over the long run. i think that, you know, the
