11:01 pm
powers can't have this relationship. lou low one could say the working trust level is deteriorated. and relations as the president met with the nato general. the president said the relationship is at an all- time low with russia >> right now we are not getting along with russia at all. we are at an all- time low. this has built for a period of time. we'll see about putin. and it would be fanta footballing get along with putin and russia and it may be the opposite. >> i would love to get along with everybody. right now the world is a mess p. but i think by the time we

11:03 pm
syria. i am afraid, lou, if he puts a second foot in, we'll number a major sieve issil war. it is a war i don't see the end in site is of. i hope what the president said we are not going in syria i hope that is reality. he will get heavy pressure from the neocon and war hawks. and the people against him most are happiest about the strike. >> lou: the neocons who are assimulated in so many organizations. there but not as i am reminded with the trump white house. speaking of the trump white house, it is a distraction for at least the national left wing media. it may be good or bad defending on your interpretation.
11:04 pm
the bannon/jared, ivanka, reince priebus contest. what do you make of it and how concerned are you? >> i am a bit concerned. i read the new york post where the president said i love steve but, i like steve but, he has to stop taking credit for my p strategy and victory. and top these internal wars or he is gone. that was brutally frank and blunt. it would be a mistake for the president to follow-through on a threat, lou. bannon represents and deals with popullist national america first wing of the trump coalition. if he goes, the base will be
11:05 pm
looking hard at who is left behind and who got him. >> lou: they are tricky times. he could get broad sided. the folks, the president has relied upon here and they include obviously speaker paul ryan. what he did in congress and simply misjudging or misy representing the vote any way you look at it. that is malfesans of a high order. i don't know what would happen with the programs given the leadership from the the house. bannon, he may be a tough go, but he among other people and stefan miller, these are the people who are the heart and
11:06 pm
soul of the president's spirit that he brings to the issues of economic nationalism and popullism and not the line up of wall street, savants that are brought in. >> i think that is right, lou. look at key states that brought him victory. wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania, that's where economic patriotism and immigration issue and america first rally these folks. they came out and provided the president with a margin of victory he had. if bannon left, you're heavy on goldman sachs in the white house. that is not the reason donald trump won. with to speaker of the house ryan. upon you have the economic
11:07 pm
conservative and conservative base of the republican party and both wings that you need. if you plose either one, you are going to be in real trouble. take the president he has a problem ahead. i don't know if the health care thing will go through. that is first in line and after that tax reform. >> he's talking optimistically about bochlth there are reports of significant between mark meadowses talking about that with the white house. weather whether that is true we'll not find out until someone is ready to take the vote. >> suppose it gets through the house and goes to senate and they do their thing on the bill and comes back to the house and they vote on the compromise that comes as a conference. this is hanging by a hair.
11:08 pm
you know, maybe it does get through. it is a three bang shot. >> lou: but better to be made especially after paul ryan played a round of golf for the president. he is a doubtful follower of the president to a kindred spirit. >> i think he is. >> lou: i think so, too. please roll the video. a basket full of sky diver and leaping for a beautiful decent over paris, california. former speaker of the house calling for the removal of syria
11:09 pm
and north korea dictator. >> the best result in north corcore and syria get the military to replace the dictator, you would have a more rational and stable government. >> lou: talking about the congressional seat that newt gingrich once held. here next. and this thrill seeker turns a skyscraper in his personal playground. we'll show you his terrifying we'll show you his terrifying tricks high above hong kong. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. lirty mutual insurance.

11:14 pm
joining us is the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. great to have you with with us. >> it is great to be here. >> lou: we have two competitive races and everybody thought it was a automatic yawnor. >> all of the focus of the administration team is on governing and trying to figure out how to run the place. there is not much emphasis on politics. but the opposition party can pour all of your energy in trying to win seats. my guess is, we'll win kansas by a reasonable margin. my guess in the end the democrat will lose in georgia. he is the great liberal hope. on the cover of the new york
11:15 pm
magazine. and raised 10 million. every demraand liberal see its a a greatmoment. my guess it 42 percent and lose 45 percent in the second round. a week ago he had more momentum and more people know him they realize he is liberal and 95 percent of the money comes from outside of the state. i think he will gradually shrink to be the obama/clinton candidate and in that district is not a winning ticket. >> lou: it suggests things going on that republicans wish were not. 10 million in a congressional race is a big deal particularly on just one side of it. turning to north korea and turning to syria. you have said you would like to
11:16 pm
see the united states remove both dictators in the countries, the question looms how. >> i don't want us to remove them. i would like us to support activities to lead the military to remove them of their own country. i really, really worry about north korea because kim jong-un has no relationship to reality. i don't think he ever left the country and no idea what he's dealing with. and soeul, korea is so close no to the north korean boundary it is in danger if he goes a little crazy. he recently killed his uncle and last week killed his half brother and he recently killed five officers with an anti-
11:17 pm
aircraft gun. this is not your normal every day dictator. >> this is the most recent murders. and a long history of murders, those are the most recent and there may be a fairly large number of people to figure out how to replace him if they could be. >> in the case of assad. there is a case that assady replace the nonsunni. if you are christian or dreweds you rally around assad. and one of the lessons from libya and yemen and somalia. blowing it apart doesn't do any good. if we find a way to get the syrian military to replace him, life would get better.
11:18 pm
that would be the best outcome in the short run. our role would not be go directly in theret all unless he does more gas attacks and my guess is that the president would hit him with more military power. but the president i don't think would be inclined to put ground forces to syria. >> lou: it is a number of people in the senate talking about boots on the grouvenltd there is a strong neocon impulse on capitol hill. and there is insinuateed that strong neocon reflex that wantses to go to war at the drop of the hat. how strong are the they. >> they are not powerful in the administration.
11:19 pm
general mattis who was involved in two wars in the last 15 years and understands that wars are ea easier to get in than out of. we don't have a record today of learning how to impose our will effectively. afghanistan is frag and i will iraq is frail sxij somalia and libya is a disaster. we need to be careful before we put ground troops in a place like syria. >> lou: you would think our military would be led by modest men no matter how many stars on their shoulders. newt gingrich, thank you. >> thank you. >> lou: this adrenalin junkie leaping from one ledge to another and performing death defying stuntses.

the fearless stunt man leaping down a story. and that is scary stuff and president trump promised to make our military great again and susan rice. hot line the and yes, again. and left wing media is acknowledging her problems with the truth. my name is pam. i'm 51 years old. when i was diagnosed with pneumococcal pneumonia, it was huge for everybody. she just started to decline rapidly. i was rushed to the hospital... my symptoms were devastating. the doctor said, "pam! if you'd have waited two more days, you would've died." if i'd have known that a vaccine could have helped prevent this, i would have asked my doctor or pharmacist about it.

>> lou: more questions about the surveillance of the trump transition team. the washington post reports that the fbi public obtained a warrant to watch over communication from former trump campaign advisor carter are page. catherine herridge talked to page and has the report.
11:25 pm
>> i have nothing to hide. and the more that the truth comes out the better. >> reporter: carter page responded to allegations and confirmed by fox he was the subject of u.s. surveillance last summer. >> to get a surveillance warrant, the fbi h to have solid evidence. and so how do you ain it? >> we shall see. again, there was a tremendous amount of false evidence. >> reporter: he blamed a former british intelligence officer. >> it may have come from the doszier. >> reporter: but fbi director comey said it is illegal to monitor american citizen is. >> those applications are thick as my wrist and a huge pain in the neck to get permissioning to
11:26 pm

11:27 pm
received 1.2 million is incorrect. >> reporter: and to register with the justice department as agents for the foreign gornment is described as routine with special authorities, lou. >> lou: great reporting. it is interesting to see the number of people who are deciding to register or report on aspects of the daily lives. >> reporter: a lot of dots are connecting at the same time. >> we appreciate the job you do, thanks. >> lou: no one wants victory over the enemies of the great nation than me. buoy we with have squandered so much and received so nlths the war against terror.
11:28 pm
our military is shrinking down. only three combat ready brigades. and the heavy tolls. 5400 military have been killed. 4 trillion spent on wars since september 11th. and a period of 16 years without a lasting victory and without a successful general to lead another parade through the troops through the canyon of heroes. here i something quite not rightbout general and presidential advisors acting as if air strikes in which they reign down missiles in an air base in syria represents a great american victory. who go on sunday talk show and pound their chest. have we been so long in the war
11:29 pm
that we forgot the sacrifice of troops and expenditures of trillions of dollars. and our generals so little modesty and humility of all they haven't been able to achieve and leading the world's only super power. have we been so long without victory, we forgot what the word mean and how can it be mejz mentioned not even once. we are a bigger and far better nation and so should our general and leaders. we should have learned that lesson. and for all of our sakes. let's repeat no more the mistakes of our sorry history. a quotation of general and perspective of our generals.
11:30 pm
from the duke of welington. as lord chester said of the generals of his day. i hope when the enemy reads the list of their names, they tremble as i do. >> the syria air strikes delivering a clear message to the assad regime. >> the objective is to send a message to assad. this is the first time that the united states acted against the assad regime. >> what is the meaning for north korean and russian and chinese. ann coulters joins me next. no dog left behind. we'll show you the i have asthma... ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms.
11:31 pm
breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com. dearthere's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced,

our senses awake, our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say: if you love something... set it free. see you around, giulia ♪

11:34 pm
>> lou: the maximum number of pinochios she earned four after she claimed that president trump got the assad regime to give up all of its chemical weapons. >> we found a solution that removed the chemical weapons in the way that use of force would not have accomplish. >> lou: oh, that use of force thing. politico fact had to retrack
11:35 pm
their claim of kerry's claim that all chemical weapons were removed. not a good day for integrity and honesty. and joining me on the latest of the syria strike and white house infighting is ann coulter. ann, great to see you again and welcome being to the broadcast. >> thank you you. >> lou: your thoughts on the strike yesterday and it is a special moment in military history? >> i think we have to get rid of all of the generals. i feel like it is dr. strangelove. to a man with a nail all of the world is a hammer. were they paying attention to the trump campaign.
11:36 pm
it would be insane to go after ah sawed. we get nothing out and spend trillions and americans die. most of the rest of the world are savages and we are always coming in one point in the bar fight and propping up the loser. and the whole point of the trump campaign. put america first and make america great again and what we should be talking about that anchor babies are not cities and they should be deported, too. and isn't that great trump is not creating works for the dreamers anymore. we don't want to hear about the pay loads and to pocombrafy. >> one of those former generals john kelly testifying that basically the wall is a figure of speech and he created ambip
11:37 pm
guity over whether the wall would be built and purpose honored by the man who was chosen by the president to lead homeland security. >> no, i did not know jeb bush was elected president. >> lou: it was one of those moments. >> look, i am sympathetic to president trump's idea he wants to have general george pat pon worked for him. someon needs to tell him he could not be a general. republicans just ask if he is a good military leader. and democrats want to know if he pronoted transgender bathroom. remember after the fort hood
11:38 pm
shooting, it is a tragedy as fort hood was, the greater tragedy would be if diversity would be become a casulty. if you want someone from the military get a corporal. kelly head of homeland security told a group of democrats, that he was the best friend dacka had. and they are still printing work permits for illegal aliens. and the generals succumb to the obama era doctorine of political correctness and wafering ambitions, that they haven't been deprogrammed at least a number of them. turn if we may to justice
11:39 pm
gorsuch. i mean, talk p promise on the supreme court. he seems to be brimming with it. your thoughts? >> i hope so. we'll see. the history of supreme court judges is that of ours go bad and theirs dobt. it is great and would have been a disaster if if it was hillary. but we are treading water. we are replacing scalian and not as if we replace ruth vader- gins berg. we are replacing a great judge when what we hope is a great j. >> gorsuch so manies to have promise to rise to a sca lia-
11:40 pm
like stature. >> i hope you are right. i will join your optimism. >> lou: the idea that the administration did so much so quickly. i think given too little notice at large and to some degree because of their own messaging. but trump has done a marvelous job unlike any other president you have seen. your thoughts. >> when i wrote a d ios, america. i thought the country had ten percent chance on november 8th. it went up to 90 percent. but there is a lot to get done. that's why i at least was particularly disturbedded by the syria bombing. it is the same thing over and over.
11:41 pm
politicians give us the rhetoric and know what the people want. and we want to put america first and a wall on the border and rather have politicians weeping about kate stienel and certainly not a vital national security interest. but there is a lot to get done. >> lou: we got you to that point, my gosh. gat to see you. you you mind if i call you sunshine from now on. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> lou: a daring rescue caught on camera. a canadian man jumping in the icy pond to rescue his dog. the french bull dog fell through the ice. duncan mcgiver and his pup

11:50 pm
a problem. nevertheless, i am encouraged when i see the things that are happening like the push back being and forceful way they are going against illegal immigration andy we need tough economic policy. >> i am with you. i don't understand gary and kevin masters. i think pretty well, he'sn the white house. but the gam that are played around the man are striking and we have seen paul ryan subvert the agenda purposefully. because otherwise he is incompetent. and the president's agenda has been be dismissed. and the establishment seems to be winning every battle including the appointment of kevin hasit to chairman of the economic advisor.
11:51 pm
he's mr. outsourcing and mr. offshoring and mr. corporate america. where are the people for you? come on. >> it is a power shift that is taking place and perhaps, the president was very good and capable of resetting each time he came up against something and he's seeing it as a reset and there was a disappointment with the promises on health care and ryan getting it through and priebus and you can see what is happening. >> lou: what keeps him up. >> i watch the repeat pos. >> lou: thank you. appreciate it. national left wing media outraged with sean spicer with comparing assad to hitler. where was the outrage when the media compared trump to hitler.
