lived on the same block with me every year of my life. that's how thorough their investigations are. lou: those investigations are rigorous, are they perfect? certainly not. we learned that. because fbi investigations have gone on. i want to, if we may, doug, go to the president right now in springfield, illinois, talking about judge kavanaugh and the confirmation process. he weighed in this morning. county are was born for the u.s. supreme court. and it's going to happen. but she just after he nounced -- she'll vote against everything we wanted to do, including tax cuts. figure that one out. so claire mccaskill will never ever vote our way because she loves the swamp. she is part of the swamp.

and we have a true swamp in washington. just look at what is now being exposed in our department of justice and the fbi. look at what's going on. look at what's going on. i want to tell you. we have great people in the department of justice. we have great people. these are people, i really believe, you take a poll, i have got to be at 95%. but you have some real bad ones, you have seen what happened sat the fbi. they are all gone. they are all gone. [cheers and applause] but there is a lingering stench and we'll get rid of that, too. clare mccass ski, when i read about this sitting in a

beautiful house called the white house. anybody hear of the white house? she revealed her true colors when she preternlded to tour -- pretended to tour the state in an rv while she was actually flying around the state in her luxurious private airplane. and honestly, this is before i ever thought about running, by the way, we decided to run. how did we do? how did we do? [cheers and applause] senator, a good guy, said to me the other day. we were talking about judge kavanaugh. and i said, we have to fight for him. not worry about the other side. and by the way, women are for that more than anybody would understand. [cheers and applause]

and a really good guy. he said, sir, i have been in politics for 25 years. i have been a senator for many years. i really know what i'm doing. i said, sir, i have been in politics for 2 1/2 years, and i am the president of the united states. [cheers and applause] and he's still my friend. it's fine. mccaskill doesn't represent the people of missouri. that i can tell you. she represents the radical democrats in washington that are trying to take over. and what they are going to do with you. you know, if you look from the

day of election. i just saw the announcement today. the stock market is up 55%. you -- your 401ks are up 50, 60, 70% in some cases. they get in and that wealth will disappear very quickly. it will evaporate. it will. claire mccaskill voted no on tax cuts for the middle class families and voted for the disaster that we are holding together -- we had it defeated, unfortunately we lost a certain vote. but we lost all of the democrat votes. we would have saved a trillion dollars. and we would have given you great look. but we still will. we need some more republicans. we need josh, but we need more republicans.

[cheers and applause] mccaskill voted no on kate's law. how about kate's law. you see what's coming in. she voted no on kate's law. how do you vote no on kate's law? you know why she voted no? because schumer and pelosi told her to vote no. and she voted no on enhanced vetting for refugees. a refugee comes in, you don't know where they are coming from. i want to do -- a term i came up with -- enhanced vetting. she voted no. but we are coming out with things the next four weeks, you will like it better than enhanced vetting. lou: president trump take up the enhanced vetting he called for throughout the campaign that began in 2015. we are talking about doug wead, presidential historian. this president, is he as

appealing to the people of missouri recounting his record on what has happened with the markets, the economy. doug, i don't have to ask you if you have ever seen anything like this because we have never seen anything like this in this country. this kind of immediate impact on the economy, the markets that he brought to bear. suddenly we are engaged in a dialogue with kim jong-un to denuclearize the entire korean peninsula. this week is a follow-on to his singapore summit with kim jong-un. kim jong-un seeking another summit, a second summit with the president while now this president is also successfully rebalances international trade. which has been obviously viciously rapacious liddel

rapaciously deliterious to this yes. >> it's remarkable to me, lou. i interviewed five presidents of the united states and known some of them very, very well and been in their homes and had them my homes. knew them before they were elected. while they were president and after they were president. and i believe donald trump is a giant among these men. he keeps his president. you look at the supreme court. george washington's first nominee to the supreme court was rejected. george washington. you had reagan and george h.w. bush. gerald ford, each nominate conservatives to the supreme court who turned out to be liberals. we had barack obama saying -- lou: it's uncertain. >> it looks easy. it's not. we had barack obama saying jobs. where is he going to get these

jobs? some of these jobs aren't coming back. you can listen to the quotes. now he's saying i did that. thanks, obama. lou: he ignores the regulation he burdened american business with. all the jobs outsourced during the course of his 8 years. all the deals he made that benefited the enemies and the rivals, geopolitical rivals of this country, and not a single friendly nation or ally. it was an extraordinary 8 years. this president has had an extraordinary, we are looking at 20 months. but it's unprecedented. it's amazing. >> i remember we tried under barack obama and george w. bush, we tried to appeal to islamic extremists. barack obama said the call to prayer is the most of -- prettiest word i ever heard.

we did everything we could to try to send out the signal, wouldn't even use the word islamic terrorist. lou: neither did george w. bush. his administration refused to name the enemy, radical islamists and much to i think the discredit of his administration. >> we have all those weapons hillary clinton and barack obama sent to syria within 59 days later here were the isis black flag flying from the hatches of american tanks and armored vehicles and isis rose out of the dust. lou: the president is talking -- the president just said in 2018 in these mid-terms remember you are voting for me in 2018.

he's making a straightforward appeal, and there are some grateful republican candidate for the u.s. senate as is the case with josh hawley in missouri, and also the house of representatives. doug, i want to do this, if i may. can i bring in dan bongino to join the conversation. and i ask you to stay with us throughout the hour as is chris farrell and gregg jarrett. joining us former secret service agent, author of the book "spygate," available preorder right now. we recommend you do so straightaway. dan, we are talking about the mid-terms. the president is talking about democrats and what they are trying to do to the country again. he made it clear they want to raise taxes. want to reregulate the country.

want basically to roll things back to the obama years. you remember how bright and wonderful those were, right? >> listen, you know, trump is not incorrect here. technically speaking are you voting for him on a ballot? no. but you absolutely voting for him, lou. this rosenstein information they pursued, the 25th amendment, and de facto impeachment. if you don't vote in this elect and they take back the house, make no mistake, there will be impeachment. will they win in trial in the senate? i don't believe there is a chance in hades it will happen. but the senate will he -- the left will accept nothing but an impeachment. the degree of rage direct at

trump is directly proportional to the degree of power and influence and money they stand to lose if they don't get him out. lou: the radical dimms have distorted the democratic party to something that's unrecognizable to many of us who had to cover politics over the course of our careers. this is a party in disarray. it's in contention with itself. divide every bit as much within the democratic party as it divide itself from the rest of our body politic. it is to me astounding. the very people who talk about the muslim travel ban on the left and attack the president take no note that the policies of barack obama led to the displacement of 5 million syrians as refugees. created the problem that led to

many of the refugees who applied for admission to the united states it's incredible there is this complete ignorance of the massive failure of his foreign policy and all the harm and damage and pain he created. >> yeah, reason and logic has gone out the window. i'm glad you went through that portfolio of insanity. things like the flores consent decree that happened under the obama administration when it came to the immigrant children. when you try to talk reasonably to these folks they lose their mind and come back with extra rage. think about some of the stuff the democrats have come out and defended in the trump era as a result of their vitriol directed at this president. we had nancy pelosi defend ms-13. we had democrats call americans citizens deplorable but insist

ms-13 have to be called human beings. they said the tax cuts weren't big enough, they were crumbs. while advocating they shouldn't be made permanent and weren't big enough for the middle class. a few months ago with regards to the fisa, we only have a little bit of it. real dirt tonight redaction. the redactions are coming out. they are saying we don't want to see a redaction. lou: it' more of a trump derangement seasoder --derangem. their behavior is extraordinarily deplorable. we'll be back with dan bongino, chris farrell, gregg jarrett, historian doug wead, and we'll be bringing you more of the trump rally from springfield,

illinois. stay with us, we'll be right back. to sign up for new insurance instead? for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise their rates because of their first accident. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ get your groove on with one a day 50+. ♪ get ready for the wild life ♪ complete multivitamins with key nutrients that address 6 concerns of aging, including heart health, supported by b-vitamins. your one a day is showing. is important to me so father being diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer made me think of all the things that i wanted to teach my kids.

(thudding) we are a different kind of financial company.

we are athene, and we are driven to do more. lou: president trump rallying his base in missouri letting them know exactly who and what they are voting for in the mid terms. president trump: a poll came out that said everybody is coming out in 2020 because they want to vote for the president, but they are maybe not coming out in 2018. come out in 2018 because you are voting for me in 2018. lou: that's the president putting it straightforwardly. a vote for him. every one of those republicans in the house and senate running for election understand they have to stand close to this president and fullly supportive,

100% supportive of the trump agenda. it's how most of them got in and will be able to keep those seats in the senate and the house. it's in springfield, missouri, i think i said i will hill earlier. i misspoke. i apologize to you. it is springfield, missouri. we are joined now by alan dershowitz. i'm told we are not joined by him yet. he'll be coming to us later. but with us i know for a fact, chris farrell in washington, d.c. great to have you stay with us throughout, and gregg jarrett here in new york. let's turn to this rosenstein article in the "new york times." a lot is being made of it. suspicion is, chris, that this may be a ploy by the left wing

"new york times" to get the president as you point out to fire him. he made reference to it in springfield, missouri. saying he's going to have to clean up the stench. they have already gotten rid of a lot of folks in the fbi. and more to come to eliminate the stench in the leadership of the department of justice. this -- do you give credence to this article that uses anonymous sources that says rosenstein offered to wear a wire in the white house and wanted to invoke the 25th amendment? chris: one of the ways we are investigating at judicial watch, we fired off public records request today as soon as that article came out. the article cites the fact there were memos and documents created by andy mccabe and others as a result of these meetings and

conversations. lou: lisa page. chris: we want those records and we'll get them. that will help either verify or blow up the story. because whoever the source was, and again more "new york times" anonymous reporting. whoever the source was had knowledge of the creation of this documentation. we want it and we are going to see if we can get. lou: gregg jarrett, you are pretty good at this stuff. do you think andy mccabe is the source? gregg: i do. rosenstein spent months trying to keep those memos secret. he has been trying to cover up incriminating evidence of his own wrongdoing. so this does have the ring of truth. and it's also very consistent with the malfeasance and

pernicious conduct of people like not just rosenstein, but comey, lisa page, peter strzok, all of them who were engaged in his elicit scheme to frame donald trump. they conjured out of thin air collusion with the russians to win the election, and they knew it was based on a fabricated document that they explain. lou: i get a kick out of reading the "new york times" piece. apparently rosenstein asked other fbi department of justice officials whether or not he should -- this is less than a week after comey had been fired -- asking whether he should call comey for some advice on how to handle the special counsel origination. your reaction? chris: again, another disqualifying conflicted act.

this so fa a threat particular and fmp this is so pathetic. and it's a damning insight. if that's what he was resorting to. it shows why there is such an incredible misconduct and effort to suppress those facts. it is criminal conduct. lou: this is a story the "new york times" report, about an acting attorney general, a deputy attorney general in rosenstein who is acting erratically, who is having something of an emotional breakdown following the firing of james comey, who is the man who recommended firing -- that the president fire james comey. and then in the intervening --

at the same time doesn't understand the conflict he has as the man who recommended his firing, appointing a special counsel because he was fired. it's insane. gregg: i talked to so many department of justice officials who worked with rosenstein. not a single one of them have respect for him. rosenstein volunteered to write the memo that terminated james comey. he didn't realized the fallout. and he was immediately condemned by democrats and shocked by the. so rosenstein blamed trump, then he sought vengeance and retribution. lou: we are talking about a man who is a little bit off his screw. he's acting erratically as the

times reports. he's not understanding the conflicts and he's talking about the 25th amendment. instead of understanding that he himself of course is the person who is highly suspect in any responsible leadership role. gregg: even discussion or soliciting people to wear a wire to record the president is a clear violation of security clearance regulations and it's probably several other crimes as well. so rod rosenstein -- this will end badly for him. he should be fired, he has no business being anywhere near the department of justice building in washington, d.c. and he was part of the russia hoax. and he's been covering it up ever since. lou: that's a heck of a name for a book.

"the russia hoax." and i thought about it. chris farrell, this is a man you and gregg both have called for his firing to no avail. i think there is such a point of -- there has been an overwhelming sense of the corruption, the political corruption. and the lack of mature and responsible judgment in the leadership as well as a corrupt leadership. they didn't know what the hell they were doing. chris: everything you just said ties back to the pushback from justice with respect to the president's desire to release all these documents, emails and text messages. if you look at the language of the president's tweet, he quotes the justice department saying the release of the information may be perceived as prejudicial

to the russia-russia. the counter narrative if rosenstein wants to keep a lid on this. he has been sitting on this criminal conspiracy for months and months. to prevent additional damaging details of the criminal conduct of the fbi and the doj. he says mr. president we have to be careful. we don't want to release all the facts. another transparent lie. but the president i think is attempting to, you know, in a prudent way, but still pushing forward, those records are coming out. i believe every syllable of what the president said. but he has to acknowledge he's getting a lot of resistance. lou: he acknowledged that today. at the same time mi6 in the person of christopher steele, the author of the fraudulent dossier.

was he former or was he actually working. gregg: once you are mi6 you are always mi6. lou: what was the role of british intelligence in this? gregg: i think they played a role and gathered false evidence. lou: they manufactured a phoney dossier. by the way, fusion gps managed to make $12 million in so doing. gregg: it' not over for glenn simpson at fusion gps because there are people at capitol hill who believe he lied. i read the transegypt of his interview with congress. and, boy, there are glaring inconsistencies. he has a lot to answer for. lou: up next, alan dershowitz joins us here in the studio to

share his thoughts on the kavanaugh confirmation and the dimms' desperate tactics. and more from the president from springfield, missouri. ... i'll never find a safe used car. start at the new carfax.com show me minivans with no reported accidents. boom. love it.
