and infrastructure. it going to be a very busy period. thank you all for your expertise. you're watching live shots of the senate floor. they're going to vote on the continued resolution already passed by their colleagues in the house. lou dobbs is going to take you through it next. good evening. i'm in for lou dobbs. the trump justice department taking new aim at clinton corruption. new reports tonight that attorney general jeff sessions has ordered justice department prosecutors to investigate how the clintons managed to rake in millions from the controversial sale of uranium one. we'll take it up with chris feral congress will avoid a government shutdown. a house has approved a temporary measure to keep the government running and the u.s. sphwhait right now still voting on the bill. they're one vote short. we'll have a full report on that

and the trump administration tonight threatening to cut off funds to the united nations after the international body voted to reject president trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capitol. john bolton is here with more on that tonight our top story and major development in the uranium one scandal, jeff sessions reportedly ordering the department of justice to look closely into alleged clinton collusion, determine whether a special counsel should be appointed to investigation, how the clintons raked in millions of dollars. fox news chief national correspondent ed henry has our report. >> not looking good. not looking good. >> a year dominated in part by president trump being in the cross hairs of a special counsel

investigation is ending with attorney general jeff sessions ordering the justice department prosecutors press fbi agents about why did did not seek charges in the uranium one deal. >> the end game would be if they found something they certainly would be potentially capable of reopening the investigation and handling as if it were an active ongoing criminal matter. >> that could mean a second special counsel to probe the way investigations of clinton's e-mail server, as well as the uranium deal, handled by james comey, deputy andrew mccabe, and peter struck who sent the text messages supporting hillary clinton. >> i would say it's the same ba lo an any they've been peddlingr years. >> bruce orr recently demoted at

the justice department. >> he has a meeting during the election with christopher steele, the same guy that the democrats from fusion paid to do the discredited trump dossier and bruce orr's wife works for gps. and orr meets with fusion after the election. how do you explain that conduct. >> mccabe was pressed on the dossier today in a long session. after facing seven hours of questioning by the house intelligence committee on tuesday where he could not recall when he learned that the clinton campaign and the dnc paid for the dossier leading senator rand paul to tweet today, time to investigate high-ranking obama officials. this could be worse than watergate. democrats insisted this is a diversion from the real issue. >> which was the russian attempt to subvert the last election,

the possible collusion -- well the certain collusion by many members of the trump campaign. >> other democrats claim this is an attempt to fire mueller over the holidays. a charge the president and the legal team consistently denied. >> ed, thanks. congress tonight averting just moments ago a government shutdown. the house before that passed a stopgap sending bill to fund the government threub january 19th. the senate moments ago followed suit and it looks like the tally right now the 62-32. all they needed were 60. our fox news correspondent is on capitol hill. >> the american people are counting on congress. reporter: if the senate okays the short term budget just approved by the house by 11:59 tomorrow night, almost every federal program stays funded until january 19th with the exception of a handful of pentagon programs. that's even though some republicans wish the military

got an easier boost. >> anytime you're talking about deficits and extending, doing a continuing resolution, it's hard. it hurts the defense. i think the area that's bothering u us the most is the military is going to get their 33rd cr in a decade. and the military's readiness is hurting. reporter: it also puts automatic medicare cuts on the shelf until 2019 and funds the children's health program through march. both of those provisions enjoy broad bipartisan support but democrats insist they didn't have much of a say in the debate. forcing the republican to go at it alone. >> if you've got the votes, you don't have to talk to us. but if you don't have the votes, we really need to come together in a bipartisan way to be the responsible stewards of this government. reporter: a sore spot for one senator in the budget, the reauthorization of an ns actioner spying tool, section 702. >> the short term extension is okay.

i will filibuster any long time suggestion. they try to do it for a year were four years or forever, there needs to be more overnight. reporter: not in the short term budget, a daca fix. so despite the demands of democrat lawmakers, there's no new resolution for people brought to this country illegally as children. >> i don't think in his heart that the president intended to hurt these people in the very cruel way that they have being hurt by the actions that have being taken. reporter: uncharacteristically quiet today, senator chuck schumer seems content using daca as leverage on republicans next time there's a shutdown fight in january days before the state of the june on. >> we're not talking about until we see what the house does. >> congressman charlie dent says he's seen thing in his 7 terms that give him confidence that a shutdown can be avoided. >> there will be drama and

chaos, yelling and screaming and then we'll avert a shutdown. reporter: there may be trouble brewing in the senate tonight for 8 $81 billion for victims of the wildfires and hurricanes. they needed a lot of democrat support to pass in the house and conservatives are weary of the package because tu new spending is not offset by cuts elsewhere. >> thanks. the u.s. senate just approved the continuing resolution. it will keep the government open until january 19th. it now goes to the president. the vote so far is 62-32 with an historic win on tax cuts under his belt, president trump took time to celebrate the holidays with some of america's finest today. they're still on a victory lap. a signing ceremony could come tomorrow. chief white house correspondent john roberts has our report.

reporter: greg, good evening. there is every indication that this is shapings up to be a very merry christmas for president trump with the expected signing tomorrow of the biggest achievement of his presidency. the lift from a huge legislative victory under his wings, president trump left the white house today to wish merry christmas to some of the heros that keep this country safe. >> i'm heading over right now to walter reid military medical center to say hello to some of the bravest people anywhere in the world. reporter: it's a tradition for u.s. president to visit walter reid and thank the men and women for their service. president trump enjoys wide support from the military pledging to rebuild u.s. forces. but the president's promises ride on republicans and democrats in congress reaching a long term spending agreement next year. today the white house was urging congress to ge keep the governmt running for the next four weeks with a continuing resolution. >> we want a clean bill and

that's what we hope happens and we hope it happens soon. because we know everybody is ready to make sheush that the government is fully funded and functional and go home and celebrate christmas. reporter: the president is anxious to get a continuing resolution on his desk because he wants to sign tax reform tomorrow before he leaves for christmas vacation in mar-a-lago. but in order to sign the bill tomorrow he needed waivers contained in the cr to prevent cuts from entitlement programs. >> it's a lot of fun when you win. >> there's plenty for the president to celebrate. boeing, at&t, wells forego, comcast all announcing bonuses for employees or wage increases, even more charitable giving. president trump believes this is just the beginning. >> we're bringing the entrepreneur back into this country. we're getting rid of all of the knots and the ties and we're going -- you're going to see what happens. and ultimately what does it

mean? it means jobs. jobs jobs jobs jobs. reporter: and it was good news for the president on the economic front. the bureau of economic analysis revised thirds quarter gdp down a fifth of a point. but com combined with second qur groit, the u.s. economy had its best back-to-back performances in three years. but the president may face new obsession in his quest to replace obamacare. enrollment in obamacare surpassed expectations. 8.8 million people signed up for health insurance during open enrollment. that's 400,000 fewer than last year those surprisingly strong. >> they tried for month to repeal the affordable care act which would have sent the costs soaring, they failed in that effort. but they have consistently

undermined aca in every way they can think of disblsh after the vote yesterday, president trump claimed to have repeal obamacare by eliminating the tax in the individual mandate. that was not fully repeal obamacare, though it may hasten its demise in higher insurance premiums. greg. >> john roberts in the house. thanks very much. we're coming light back with much more. stay with us the white house is hopeful that special counsel mueller will son wrap up his witch hunt. >> we're continuing to work closely and cooperate with him. we look forward to see this wrap up very soon. >> we'll take up the shocking corruption and bias of mueller's prosecutors and attorney general jeff sessions has reportedly revived the investigation into clinton corruption and hillary clinton's role in the controversial

uranium 1 deal. will justice finally be served? we'll have that and much more straight ahead. stay with us. with most airline credit cards, you only earn double miles when you buy stuff from that airline. is this where you typically shop? is this where anyone typically shops? it's time to switch to the capital one venture card. with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, everywhere, every day... not just airline purchases. seriously... double miles... everywhere! what's in your wallet?

grg

gregg: welcome back. capitol hill rumor mill is firing on all cylinders these days. the democrats are aplek tick

over the possible that president trump may fire robert mueller over the break. charles schumer today voicing his concerns over a constitutional crisis. the white house once again attempting to allay those fears. >> for the one thousand time, we have no intentions of firing bob mueller. we're continuing to work closely and coo cooperating with him. we think that it is just further evidence that the democrats have no plan, they have no agenda, they have nothing to talk to about other than attacking this president. while they've been focused on russia, this president has been focused on america. gregg: joining me now, christophechrisferrell. >> i was looking at the latest polling data. amajority of americans think the mueller investigation is tainted

tainted. he himself has disqualifying conflicts of interest. does fueler have himself to blame in the lack of faith and confidence that americans have in the investigation because he selected an entire panel of part partisans? >> you are exactly correct. and he also is completely unable to articulate the predicate. no one can tell you what crime has been committed. and instead they're investigating people looking for a crime. that's not the way we operate in this country. gregg: show me the man i'll find you the crime. is it increase egli clear to you that there may have been those within the fbi and the department of justice who, for political reasons, decided they were going to go about clearing hillary clinton and simultaneously as a backup plan, let's frame donald trump with a meritless investigation in order

to bring him down. >> it's not an open question anymore. we have a variety of characters either under oath or in the form of various electronic communications saying exactly that. so we have these draft documents where they try to water down the claim out, mishanding information which i'm familiar with prosecuting from the standpoint of being a special agent. and then you've got these guys talking about insurance policies, meaning they're going to leverage the phonied up dossier from fusion gps christopher steele and turn that into a fisa warrant. gregg: that's a crime, isn't it? >> it certainly is a crime. gregg: if you use a dubious phony document in an affidavit in support of a warrant, a wiretap, that's a fraud on the court, isn't it? >> it is. it's also misconduct on the part of the agents.

it's prosecutorial abuse on the matter of the attorneys involved. it's a train train wreck of misconduct. this is hanging around mueller's neck. they can't get away from it. when it comes to bringing charges against people, the very thin thin of the one thousand claim falls statements on general flynn, conspicuously absent is the charge of conspiracy. you know why? there were no conspirators because there was no crime. and every other case, when you see a 1001 charge for false official statements, you always have the guy roll in who else he was in conspiracy with. it's not there. gregg: but mueller arguably illegally obtaining documents from the transition team to use to implicate michael flynn. flynn's lawyers ought to go to court, shouldn't they, and withdraw the plea and challenge

the evidence under the exclusionary rule. you can't use evidence that was illegally obtained. >> it is. it's all fruit of the poisonous tree kind of stuff. this is investigation 101 and law school 101. both sides of the equation, the investigators, the special agents involved from the various agencies and the attorneys involved, they all know better. and this is a very dishonest game they're playing because they've got to come back with a scalp. gregg: it looks like jeff sessions is ordering the doj to start investigate whether hillary clinton engaged in pay to play. simultaneously should they reopen the e-mail case because there appears to be an abundance of evidence, and the statute of limitations hasn't run -- that she mishandled documents, 110

classified documents on her unauthorized, unsecured private e-mail server. >> the answer is yes, of course they have to investigate both issues. thankfully the american public knows about the e-mail server because of the work of judicial watch. gregg: right. >> what i want to know is -- i would love to see the interview of mueller, comey, wiseman, rosenstein, how are they going to address that with respect to both uranium one and the e-mail investigation. gregg: do you suspect that comey, mccabe, peter struck, involved, as well as james baker, all of these guys together within the fbi, that they deliberately changed the wording of the exoon ration statement that was initially drafted by james comey to absolve hillary clinton to pave the way for her to become president. >> from the 2nd of july,

stween, that saturday, my first question was hey, that interview of hillary clinton, was it a right's warning event? that's all you have to know. and the answer back was no, it was not. an then you knew for a fact that it was a coffee and donut session arrangedded b by david kindle. >> they didn't read her rights. mirandize her. she said i don't recall 39 times during that coffee and donut session. she remembered her name and date and birth and that was about it. >> in any legitimate information, you pause, pull out a nondisclosure agreement, you ask her to refresh her recollection and review the document that she signed and then have her affirm or certify that's her signature on her document and then let her explain how she doesn't remember it. gregg: right. >> that wasn't done. gregg: here is a document. she signed it. it's sworn.

it says i understand the tutorial i received on classified documented. i can't put them in an unauthorized place, which is precisely what she did. but she apparently said, you know, i don't remember getting that tutorial. i don't remember remember signing this document. she actually signed two documents, chris. >> that's true. part of the documents say it doesn't matter if you don't remember. this still applies to you no matter what. you can't wiggle away from it. but the problem is that the agents doing the interview did not do that. gregg: because they were yucking it up, having a good time. and because peter struck was doing the interview, the top fbi official. and now we know that his texts, littered with i love hillary clinton texts to his lover, who was an fbi lawyer. i mean it's really astonishing stuff. >> it's disgusting. gregg: if you look up corruption in the dictionary, there should be a pick u picture of those fos

involved. be sure to vote in tonight's poll. do you believe it's time to stop taxpayer dollars that undermines and disrespects america at every time. follow lou on instagram, like him on facebook. the dow gaining 55 points, s and pks p up 5 points. nasdaq up 4. goldman sachs says it will launch a krit to currency trading to be up an running by the end of next june. more companies are sharing the wealth. wells fargo will boost the company wide minimum page to $15 an hour. talk about immediate relief. and a reminder, l listen to lous

reports three times a day on the salem network. up next, nikki haley puts the united nations on notice. >> but this vote will make a difference on how americans look at the u.n. and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the u.n. and this vote will be remembered. gregg: we're going to have a full report on the fallout of the landslide vote condemning the united states right down the street from here straight ahead.

fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

gregg: some drama at the united nations today. u.s. ambassador nikki haley put more than 100 member nations on notice, following a landslide vote condemning america's decision to move its israeli embassy to jerusalem. rick leventhal is at the u.n. tonight with the latest. >> when we make generous contribution to the ussments n., we also have a legitimate expectation that our goodwill is recognized and respected. >> u.s. ambassador to the u.n. making it clear to the member states of the world body that america has its right to move its embassy, warning that siding against the decision by pruch could have deep financial consequences. >> america will put or embassy in jerusalem. that is what the american people want us to do. and it is the right thing to do. no vote in the united nations will make any difference on

that. >> the u.n. called this merge session to debate a resolution rejecting the u.s. decision recognizing jerusalem as israel's dap tall. the resolution drow the support of every single arab country around the globe. >> we believe the decision by the american government is addressable and is not constructive in a sustainable solution. >> we will not be intimidated. you can be strong but it doesn't make you right. >> translator: the state of palestine respects the sovereignty of states so long as this sovereignty is in line with international law. however, we refuse to have sovereignty used as an excuse to violate international law. >> the vote was overwhelming, 128 in favor, just 9 opposed and 35 abstaining, a stark reminder that israel has a short list of

friends. >> those who support today's rez luges are like puppets. you are puppets pulled by the string of the puppet masters. you are lik forced to dance. >> israel's prime minister called today's resolution preposterous and says that jerusalem is israel's capital. and the white house says the embassy will still move, the only question is when and how the president will punish the nations that didn't support him here today. gregg: rick, thanks very much. we're going to talk about the u.n. vote with ambassador john bolton a bit later in the forecast. we're coming back with much more. stay with us. republicans gaining momentum from their victory on taxes. >> the heart of the bill is a tremendous amount of relief for the middle class.

and they're going to start seeing the results in february. >> we'll discuss what congress will tackle next with congressman keith rompus. it takes guts to stand on the roof of this building. but you won't believe what this daredevil does next. we'll show you his death defying stunt next.

i'm mark and i quit smoking with chantix. i tried, um, cold turkey. i tried the patches. i was tired and i was fed up. i wanted to try something different.

along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. compared to the nicotine patch, chantix helped significantly more people quit smoking. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i'm finally free of smoking. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. i'm finally free of smoking. i used to have more hair. i used to have more color. and... i used to have cancer. i beat it. i did. not alone.

i used to have no idea what the american cancer society did. research? yeah. but also free rides to chemo and free lodging near hospitals. i used to maybe give a little. then i got so much back. i used to have cancer. call 1-800-494-4357 today. your contributions to the american cancer society fund valuable research. but that's just the beginning. a cancer diagnosis can kick off years of challenge. and that's where your donation truly shines. you help us fund free rides to treatment. a live 24/7 help line, free lodging near treatment centers. and even efforts to expand access to insurance. so, please - donate today at cancer.org and help attack cancer from every angle. gregg: there will be no christmas shutdown for the federal government. the house and the senate a short

time ago approved a bill late this afternoon to fund the government through january 19th. with a few sweeteners for the military and child health care. president trump expected to sign the bill sometime tomorrow. joining me now to talk about that and the tax cuts, republican congressman keith rothfus. congressman, good to see you. >> good to see you. gregg: there have been more than 30 continuing resolutions over the last decade. i think it's five per year, to keep the government running. this one only lasted for what, 30 days. it's kind of like popping a rolaid. doesn't something need to be done longer than 30 days? >> absolutely. this has been a frustrating process. i looked at this issue since before i ran for congress. the last time everything was done on time was 1996 where all appropriation bills were passed

by september 30th. the year the house did the work by september 30th. unfortunately the senate did not. it stuck in the senate. this has been a serious issue for our defense budget making sure that our defense planners have the resources. we have people out in the field. i made a trip to the middle east right before thanksgiving. this is a serious situation that's frustrating to see the democrats holding the defense budget hostage, demanding more spending dollar for dollar or whatever their formula is. there's no correlation at all between maintaining a robust defense and what we're spending on the domestic side. that link has to be broken. gregg: you have to plan in advance. our military and defense, defense of americans out there suffers. i do want to ask you about the tax cuts. democrats continued to decry this but republicans say 80% of americans will see tax relief. and of course we've seen a bunch of major companies start cutting

checks, $1,000 checks to send out to their workers as bonuses. doesn't that undermine the democrats' plan? >> that's the sound of an economy revving up. we've been stuck going sideways for ten or 15 years. think of the kids who graduated in 2000 and have not seen a robust economy. there is direct and immediate help coming for the middle class. a single mom making $41 a year is going to see more than $1,300 back a year. the family of four making 73,000-dollar is going to see more coming back. and then you have the economic growth that's going to kick in and we're seeing that, companies willing to make substantial investments in their infrastructure, from comcast and at&t, $1,000 going to employees. this is great news and the beginning of making this country prosperous again. gregg: i think it was john

kennedy who said a rising tide lifts all boats. and that's the whole point of this. that if you grow gdp, it expeninsula the company, investing in companies, expanding the companies, hire more employees and the economy becomes far more robust and in the long run the treasury benefits with increased revenue. >> it's true. it happened in the 1960s, happened in the 1980 and 1990s under president clinton and a republican congress. remember when president clinton promised a tax cut, got to congress and said he couldn't do it. in 1994 they did the middle class cut and the revenue to the treasury went significantly up and into surplus. but the rising tide does lift all boats and that's what this tax bill is all about. >> congressman, thank you so much for being with us tonight. appreciate it. >> thank you and merry

christmas. gregg: you do too. do you believe it's time to stop handing taxpayer dollars to the leftist united nations that always tends to undermine and disrespect america? cast your vote at twitter at low dobbs please roll the videotape. these daredevils are sure to get your heart pumping. they're standing close to the edge of a 70-story building in dubai. sprint and leap across the roof's gaps. okay. that's dumb. that's risky. yeah. all right coming up next, house republicans launching a probe into reports that the obama administration derailed an investigation into drug trafficking by hezbollah as president obama sought to secure the iran nuclear deal.

we'll discuss it with am bas amr john bolton. [vo] progress is an unstoppable force. the season of audi sales event is here. audi will cover your first month's lease payment on select models during the season of audi sales event.

gregg: vice president mike pence today making an unannounceds trip to afghanistan ahead of the christmas holiday.

also met with the president at the presidential palace in in kabul. joining me you. former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, john bolton a senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. always a pleasure to see you. happy holidays, merry christmas to you. every american president i can think of promised to recognize jerusalem as the capital and move or embassy there. none of them kept their promises. this president did. >> this is an act of theater. the vote in the security council earlier this week was the first act, this is the second act. this vote in particular will have no meaning, no consequence, no significance. it's outrageous that a decision by two governments with to be united states and israel, where to put our embassy in israel's

capital city should even be a discussion item at the u.n. but i think the president, despite how reflective this is of the culture and anti-israel feeling in new york, not to mention anti-u.s. feeling, i think the president actually scored a victory here and has a real opportunity going forward. it's true the vote was overwhelmingly against the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital. but when you count the abstentionance the governments that didn't bother to show up to vote, it amount to 56 plus 9 who actually voted against the resolution. that number is much higher than i expected or predicted on various fox news shows. i thought the vote against would be 170, 1803 and i think that abstention rate reflects what trump said and what ambassador haley said, that there would be

consequences for those countries that voted against what the united states had done. i think there should be financial consequences for the u.n. as well. gregg: why should we give billions of dollars to people who don't like us very much and vote against us in the u.n. all of the time. let me move on to something else. this report of when he was president, president obama decided to go easy on the terrorist organization hezbollah so that he could curry favor with iran in the nuclear deal. what do you make of that? >> well jo, you know, if this sy is close to being true, it's explosive. it's in politico, so i take it with a grain of salt. we should follow the suggestion of the republican of north carolina who said we should have a congressional investigation, involve the judiciary committee as the foreign affairs committee. it's inexcusable for any administration to hold back on hezbollah, let alone as an act

of appeasement in what was already a broader act of appeasement to negotiate this nuclear deal with iran. there are always needs between law enforcement and intelligence and maybe there was some of that here. but that doesn't mean you shut down an dea operation. it means you tailor it more carefully. there's no excuse not to take the fuelest measures we can against hezbollah. gregg: i have to ask you about north korea. there's a report on that country that the united states is considering what's referred to as a bloody nose attack against the country to sort of knock out their nuclear program. can that be done, and if it can, good idea, bad idea or would it make matters worse? >> i think unless we get a dramatic development where china takes out the north korean regime or agrees to reunite the two kre koreas, we're down to te

choice soon. either we accept north korea with the nuclear weapons or consider military force. the pen gone ought to be doing contingency planning. do you want to wait for five years to go by and north korea have 100icbms with thur mo nuclear weapons that can hit the united states? neither aption is attractive. defending the american people is the first responsibility of the u.s. president. gregg: the problem is all of the artillery aimed at seoul which is minutes away. >> that's a problem. you can't knock all of that out before they start firing and murdering people. >> don't under estimate our naval capabilities. we should do everything we can to protect the south koreans and i think that's what the pen gone ipentagonis looking at right no. gregg: thanks for being with us. >> merry christmas. coming up next, hillary clinton now planning to hit the campaign trail in 2018.

we'll take her refusal -- will she take her refusal to exit the public stage gracefully? we'll talk about it. kind of like a bad cold, it won't go away. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, ..

gregg: in our northern line poll

last night we asked if you believe the desperate dems so hate president trump they would shutdown the government. 98% of you said yes. the c.r. passed this evening a short time ago. joining knee, the editor-in-chief of the "daily caller" christopher bedford and mark simone. can the gop carry forward its success in the tax cuts legislation to achieve part or all of president trump's after he general today in 2018? >> they have the wind at their backs. they are feeling pretty good after months of unending negative coverage. tree peeling the individual mandate, getting the tax reform through. the problems they will come up

with next, these are all republican things. one of the things trump wants next, a change to our immigration laws, an infrastructure bill. he will get pushback from some of the traditional parts of the gop. and we know the democrats are not going to look to get on board with any one of these measures in the new year. gregg: i mentioned hillary clinton is like a bad cold you can't get rid of. my continuing counties up to 63 excuses. but i only read the book for giggles. so at any rate, she is threatening to campaign for the 2018 democratic candidates. given her abysmal poll ratings, is she going to hurt democrats more than help them?

>> the whole idea of her hurts democrats. the most of insincere, phoney, fake bureaucrat coming back out campaigning. by the time the summer comes around we'll in the middle of a uranium one investigation. gregg: are democrats grumbling and openly saying go away? enough already? >> i think they are afraid. they will go after trump but they are afraid to tie her up and thrower in the trunk of a car and get rid of her. she'll kill them again in 2018. gregg: not once, but twice she has lost the presidency. >> right now she is at her least popular. but a day before the election she was about to be president of the the u.s. according to the polls.

she maybe won some senate seats but she never won a competitive race. and she hurt the democratic party when they felt they were certain to win. the "new york times" was calling around trying to find anyone who would back up her husband bill clinton on sexual abuse allegations and they couldn't find one. the clintons cash is spent. and they won't be very helpful except for the diehard already on the democratic band wagon. >> she lost to a rookie the first time around. a total amateur. gregg: and he didn't have much of an organization it was all done on instinct and spirit. mark: she spent a billion dollars at least. gregg: her name is synonymous with scandal. mark: she had the greatest

political consultant in the world living in her own house. she should have been begging him, coach me, teach me. gregg: he was telling her to campaign in the midwestern northern states. chris: after barack obama was elected president he had date ra gurus -- data gurus in the silicon valley. and they forgot the human touch. hillary clinton lacks that. democrats should beware of her reappearing. gregg: no one sees her trying to be funny in public.

chris bedford, mark simone, good to see you. that will do it for us. thanks for joining us. steve forbes and ed rollins are among our guests tonight. dagen: will the president media critics come around after the president wins big on tax cuts. the president says he won't fire robert mueller. one senator is warning of a constitutional crisis if he does. is hillary clinton really planning to get involved in the 2018 election and why would democrats want her help? all that and more tonight on "kennedy." hell has frozen over and pig
