7:02 pm
more likely, and speaker ryan also working against the president's agenda. he says that he will delay funding for the wail, citing a pragmatic choice, whatever that means, here to discuss trump administration focus on border security, the president's america first agenda, veteran of 10 presidential campaigns, republican strategist, fox news contributor, ed rollins. >> thank you. lou: this is quite a journey for general john kelly, somewhat a ambiguous about his support of the wall two weeks ago, now emphatic that we need to defend that southern border against drug traffics, and national gangs and cartels. >> it is wonderful general kelly has learned a great deal. i think he has learned a lot. jeff sessions to me is one of
7:03 pm
the real stars in this administration. i think they realize what the american public wants is the gang stopped, they don't care about illegal waiter or waitress or the nanny in the suburb, they care about the gangs and the criminals that are coming in if they can stop them, chase them out and put them in prison as they deserve, i think public will be more tolerant of how long it takes to build the wall. lou: intolerance of how long paul ryan would like to delay the wall. this is suggestion you can bring people into this country, unskilled and not have an impact on cost of welfare, and not have an impact on opportunities for middle class americans to have a living wage for themselves and a family that the drug cartels can have unrestrict
7:04 pm
access to the u.s. and everyone be damned. i the guy i give credit to is nt blank, he is taking on the cartels, there has not been a single president, a single homeland security secretary standing up saying, we're taking on the drug cartels. >> there has been a war on the border the last decade. it is astonishing numbers, to a certain extent they should be applauded. you are right, president did focus on this in the campaign. lou: think about cowardice of so many in the country, sneering at just say sno no slogan of nancy reagan, we have watched lives devastated.

7:06 pm
the fight, he should not have 52 hifight his son side, own side. this is president we need to stand up and follow. i think that critical thing is a lot of money wasted in this government, a lot of priorities that need to be reset, he will try that. lou: democrat, stree 48.5% of vote in sixths district in georgia came very close to winning that race last night. if the republicans don't understand they have to deliver on their president's agenda to avoid a devastating result next year. >> she did a wonderful job. i think that key thing is she been a state chairman, and a mechanic, she understands mechanics of day-to-day
7:07 pm
politics, the thing is that the democrat came close to winning, i don't think he will win, only way he will win in next two months then the republicans stall, then the democrats is make the challenge that trump and the republicans are not moving forward, the big challenge is quit fighting amongst yourself come back with an agenda. lou: how do you do that, if you are president trump, with the speaker of the house that opposes you at every level, and every turn whether tax reform or whether it is build a wall or whether it is repeal and replacement of obamacare. >> i would call him out every chance i got, i would say mr. speaker this is what i want done, you tell me why you can't do it, you tell me that members that won't support n me and i'll go to those members myself, but i don't' you being the one opposing me, that is the way it looks, i would put that spotlight right on the speaker, what is his

7:27 pm
wonder when do we win. charles: laswin? >> last week they failed that capture the kansas house speak, democrats also face uphill battles in special elecons in montana and south carolina, they are not expected to win either. those states, trump won by double digits, and 2018, democrats need to net 24 seats, to regain the majority in the house. up hill work. democrats unseated 4 of the 15 freshmen republican representatives they targed in 2016, dem obstructism is proving to be a destructive strategy in senate as well. all with approval ratings under 50%. the democratic party, lacking any viable plan for 2018, remains blin blindly

7:35 pm
toxic impact on community across this country. and it has never been a priority for past democratic administrations and it should have been a higher priority with the bush administration as well. if there are two people in this country who can actually make progress in the war on the drug cartels, it's president trump and his attorney general jeff sessions. lou: attorney nerajeff sessions is doing d saying all the right things. he's standing up for the president talking about the wall. it has to be built. he will be at the border tomorrow with the department of homeland security secretary-general john kelly. john kelly two week ago was talking softly, if i may, about the border wall, talking about we won't build it sea to shining sea. it was a flippantsy i didn't

7:37 pm
terrorist organize and brand them as such is i think an innovative stroke. no one has done so much directed at ms-3. and as you point out, the attorney general has been very straightforward. we can take care of ms in 13 if we make that choice. >> even el salvador who sent ms in 13 to america almost two decade ago declared msn 13 terrorist organization. the issue is not just that we have murderers and machete wheelers and drug traffickers and this ebb tire criminal syndicate that has spread from los angeles all across the country. and to the other side of the coast.
7:38 pm
you had ms-13 members at the target store or mall terrorizing people. but it's not just the most violent gang in america. the ways in which this criminal racket hooked up with the other most dangerous criminal syndicate in the world. isis and al qaeda makes it a particularly potent and worrisome threat to american security. the collaboration between those groups in central and south america has been well known anyone tell jones and immigration circles for upwards of two decades. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. the question is, do you give president trump credit for being the only president in history to have the guts to go after the mexican drug cartels. we would like to hear from you. please roll the video and don't look down.

7:46 pm
the past 8 years. the iran deal is a great example of that. we were told if we give iran sanctions relief up front it will help iran become a productive nation. i think they are doing the right thing to send a message to iran that all this stuff is up for grabs.security. and it's important for the fight against isis. when the gulf states like saudi arabia see us, instead of leaning towards iran. that makes the fight against isis more robust and likely to be successful. lou: i are was not criticizing
7:47 pm
the trump administration for doing what it is doing. but finding it necessary to issue a warning and draw lines and assure national security interests that have been ignored the previous state 8 years under the obama administration it's an extraordinary display of conflicts and potential threats. it's an arcoming to a head. you look at how the obama administration didn't cultivate a key ally like the he jinx president el-sisi like this administration macedon.
7:48 pm
you are right, it's been very busy. by the many encouraging to see what's been authorize the military to go all out? afghanistan and the decisive strike against assad. lou: within this hemisphere, the trump administration is showing interest in what is happening in a significant way with ma dur -h maduro in venezuela, the further influence of russia in nicaragua and our hemisphere. leaving open the question of the obama administration and secretary john kerry dismissed the monroe doctrine. will the trump administration in your judgment resurrect it and your judgment on whether it will be wise to do so, put on warning

7:54 pm
good news for the trump administration. 94% of you have say yes, the president is beginning to restore faith in the american dream. the trump administration, however, receiving mostly hostile press treatment, more than any other new american president. 89% of the coverage by the three broadcast networks has been negative according to the media research center. obama wiretapping claims one of the topics dominating their rundown. by comparison coverage of president trump at this point in this administration, 53% positive. you see you the difference. joining me now to discuss the latest on the obama spying scandal and the deep state efforts to subvert this president and his administration, john sullivan. i want to get your reaction to the media research center's
7:55 pm
reporting. that's staggering, suffocating negativity on the part of the national left-wing media directed at this administration. >> it reflects something i talk about when i go to journalism schools. too much picking sides and trying to create outcomes. i think that sdy is a reflection of a larger cancer in our profession. we are more interested in the outcome. we picked half an audience and i don't think that's good in the world we live in today. lou: it's a strange era we entered. we have gone from the biased left-wing media to a committed complicit left-wing media, and it's a breathtaking difference in that evolution. >> all sides of the political equation have their favorite media. the audience used to be we the
7:56 pm
american people. now some of us here, some of us there fighting. what happens is facts get distorted in that a environment. the truth gets distorted by political agendas. i don't think it's good. if there is a reason why the media is less popular than congress. lou: let's turn to the obama spying scandal. and of course terrific reporting. susan rice and the others involved in this, where -- what do you see is the next step as the two intelligence committees are expanding their investigation. but we don't have from the committees a clear statement as to how they are expanding it and what direction.
7:57 pm
>> my reporting indicates the real question will come down to how often have american names been unmasked in the last ve years since barack obama changed the rules. why did he change the rules. were they necessary? we went from an er a of it was such a rare moment if an american's name was unmasked. it's common place now. lawmakers once a month on capitol hill get unmasked by the executive branch. is it really necessary and do we need to do more oversight? lou: we are watching now obviously a russia that is piqued and responding to the charges made against them. putin is making it clear he's not pleased. at the same time the leaks are persisting and they seem to be
7:58 pm
growing in both number and if you will, the quality and content of those leaks which are devastating to our secret services to our intelligence community. >> i think one of the true itches of the obama era is the amount of leaking that occurred and the amount of damage leaks caused to the national security apparatus clearly grew. there is a culture of not appreciating classified information or leaks like we saw with nsa mike flynn. the russian ambassador had n idea until that leak occurred that we were on his phone and could descramble his phone. what a loss of intelligence for some political point to be made in a newspaper. are we doing good by america with all these leaks? lou: as you documented and just read to, relaxing fisa * laws in
7:59 pm
2011 and 2013. where are 9 committees? >> was congress complicit by not doing enough oversight? have they sold off all our privacy right. it's a much larger issue than donald trump and you and rice. do we have the protections our founding fathers intended? time for a few quick comments. finally a president and a first one to give the u.s. military the chance to be and do what should it should have done a long time ago. troy treated this. trump staff needs to display their capability to align with
