brad blakeman and christian whiton are among our guests come. you can catch my show on the fox business network, "bulls and bears." trish: president trump and first lady melania making a surprise appearance in iraq to thank our troops tore their service. what the president is saying about the fight against terror and the need for our border wall? >> how long to you think the shutdown will last? >> whatever it takes. we'll have a wall, we need safety for our country. trish: whatever it takes. however long it takes. conservative author jerome corsi is here exclusively with what he says is brand-new information on how the fbi is surveilling his entire family.

he'll tell us the new legal actions he's taking because of this, and why he's doubling down on suing robert mueller and the feds for $350 million. russia is working to tighten its grip on venezuela. vladimir putin has bought at least five oilfield there. why venezuela is becoming a major security threat for us while becoming a poster child for the dangers of socialism. alexandria ocasio-cortez getting political during her quote-unquote self-care break. comparing jesus to the migrants at our border. "trish regan primetime" begins right now. break right now. president trump and the first lady making a surprise visit to our troops in iraq. the announcement coming days

after he said he's withdrawing troops from syria. there are no plans to do the same in iraq where 5,50 off our troops are stationed. robert charles, good to see you. how important is it to keep those 5,500 troops in walk? >> i think it's important. it's wonderful and bold that the president decided to take this moment and visit the troops. lit pump people up and reinforce his commitment to them at a time when general mattis is rolling out. i think it's worth noting, the united states has 165,000 active duty troops in 150 countries. syria and afghanistan are two of those countries. they are unique. but in iraq i think we should stay there for sure. trish: i imagine he does have to rally the troops, so to speak,

given general mattis' departure. so this was a significant move. it was a move to show support for them. and i agree with you, ski commend them on that. complete let's get over to syria. you mentioned the troops we have all over the world that's costing us a lot of money. but sometimes the cite vehicles said this is the price you pay for being the hedg hegemonic pon the world. do you think the president is making the right decision getting out of syria? he i have tremendous respect for general mattis. he's a warrior and a scholar. but different smart people can evaluate the same information differently. the noaghts of -- the notion of

withdrawal has less to do with if we get out but how and when. the united states with the help of the perso -- the person the a and the kurds. what the president is doing is to send a signal though we have been a deterrent and effective in eliminating isis. we are going to turn it over to them to decide what to do next. trish: do you think turning it over to them, i would think the europeans, but they haven't been carrying their weight. what's to suggest they change what they are doing now. or does it get turned over to the likes of vladimir putin? >> my concern about a precipitous withdrawal, i think a withdrawal over time is wise.

iran will start to become more offensive with respect to israel. push which has never had a footprint there to speak of. and turkey will come in from the north and try to put pressure on the kurds. my feeling is we were the insulator, the buffer. those 2,000 troops had a significant role. i would furnlg we get out, we get out slowly and methodically. or those three live wires are going to cross and we will wish we hadn't done it because isis will come back. trish: we certainly hope not. that was the mistake barack obama made in getting out of iraq so soon. i fault number part for the rise much isis. i do want to point out we killed a couple hundred isis soldiers there with a bombing attacks.

week achieve a lot from the air. robert, it's good to have your perspective. as the partial government shutdown ticks for the 6th straight day, the president is prepared and he'll win for as long as it takes for the $5 billion he needs for the border wall. he spoke about this in iran. watch. >> how long will we be shut down? president trump: as long as it takes. we need a wall. when you say how long is it going to take? when are they going say we need border security? don't forth get the democrats -- don't forget the democrats all agreed we need a wall nil wanted it. trish: hillary clinton when she first ran campaigned on this idea of stronger border security. we heard barack obama talk about

the need for stronger border security. no better this president does, they want to stand in the way. i would say they are missing the forest for the trees. they have an opportunity to get meaningful immigration reform done and they are blowing it big time. i want to bring in ted harvey and capri today cafaro. capri, he campaigned on this. i know you have been disenfranchised with your party because it has inkeysingly gone the left in this globalist vein and you were not a huge fan of hillary clinton. but he campaigned on this idea. i think ways so bothersome to americans and the president himself is the dems used to be fine with it. they were all for border security. but now when it's the president of the united states donald

trump talking about it, they are nowhere to be seen and they are running for the hills and digging in their heels aggressively against it. >> i think this is a poor strategy on behalf of democrats. yes, president trump did campaign on this. if the democrats continue to be fully obstructionist regarding some funding for the wall or border security, then it is a perfect opportunity for president trump to point to democrats and say they are obstructionists, they don't like the things i do because i'm doing them. that does not set up democrats well to becoming the leadership in the house or frankly into 2020. this is an opportunity to get some movement on daca. give a little bit on the wall. get something back in regards to moving immigration reform forward. trish: ted, i spoke with a

democrat this afternoon who made it clear that as long as there is a wall involved, and by the way, you can call it whatever you want. but as long as there is a structure acting as a border like thing, the democrats won't give an inch. it's a tragedy because we do need meaningful immigration reform. we want to bring the best people here. we want to bring people who want to be americans and contribute to our economy. but we can't get it we don't have a lousy border to begin with. >> they are looking worse than obstructionists. they are look together american people that they are supporting illegal immigrants coming into our country. they are supporting gang bearngs and drug traffickers and human traffickers. if that's the message they want to send to the american people heading into the 2020 election,

they are in trouble. trish: most of of them are good people. >> that's why you have a wall. to keep the bad people out. trish: we don't want the drug traffickers or anybody who would be violent to another individual. and frankly, i think back to all those pictures we saw of them storming the border, do not forget they were molding their flag, not an american flag which tells me a lot of the people coming here don't want to become an american. the vice president of the united states told me there are bad actors. radical leftists trying to create and foarlts scenario down there in latin america because they want the u.s. to look bad. in the face of that. how do we tackle this problem. >> sure, sure. i can't speak to the assertion from vice president pence. but i will say this.

one of the best things we dock is work mexico in some way, shape or form to deal with their southern border. a lot of these people are not actually from mexico. they are from central america, places like guatemala, el salvador and honduras. because of the gang violence and drugs, these people are coming up through mexico. if we can work with mexico and the united nations then secure our own borders, that's a one-two punch. these people are human we can't have people die either. trish: there is a child that died and our border agents are coming under a lot of criticism because of that. we know we are going to be giving medical tests to children coming across the border. let me ask you a question nobody wants to tackle. the law' unintended consequences. when you have an opportunity for

people to see things this country and take a child and have a better shot at asylum because they have that child with them. isn't it creating the perverse unseason tough to smuggle a child across the border. if you had a wall wouldn't it go a low way toward difficult diss. >> to be going through some of the worst parts of northern mexico, we want them to go to the ports of entry where they have the people in place to help these poor souls. but that's why the president wants a wall. to force people to go through the legal process wherever they come from around the world. if we don't do that, all we are doing is encouraging more and

more people to put themselves and their children at risk and that's not good for anybody. trish: capri, there is any shot, any chance in h-e-double l to do this? that we see a wall go up? you are shake your head, ted. >> they already said there is nothing to dough bait. >> it will be a heavy lift because of the way the democratic party and the newly elected members coming in have dug their heels in on this. but hopefully cooler heads will prevail. we need immigration reform, stronger borders. trish: it's there for the taking. win-win all around. ted and capri, thank you so much. coming up next. you know him well. conservative author jerome corsi. he said tonight he has new information the fbi is

surveilling his entire family. he's here exclusively on "trish regan primetime" next with a look at how he's fighting back against the feds, against their attempts to discredit and scare him and his family. we reported on russia sending bombers to venezuela. vladimir putin is stepping up his efforts in the socialist country where a dozen eggs cost $150 and still climbing. putin and his country is trying to take control of the socialist oil fields.

trish: breaking right now. a "trish regan primetime" exclusive. jerome corsi said he's a target caught in an overly wide-reaching mueller probe. he tells us he has brand-new evidence that the fbi is illegally if not criminally collecting surveillance on his family and friends. joining me, conservative author dr. jerome corsi. i wanted to tell people about your e-book, "silent no more" which is available online. you go through every single moment of every single day-this horrific chapter of your life. >> i have evidence the fbi and mueller's team are now harassing my family. they are done door knocks on my stepson. they are parking surveillance

vans with two agents in them outside areas where my children work. my children have done nothing wrong. i have been married to my wife for 27 years. are they going to make them criminals. i won't and for it. trish: why are they so desperate to get. >> they hate me. they are mad. it's all about me connecting roger stone assange. they said you had to have a connection. i didn't. i don't know assange. i never communicated with him in any form. i never communicated with anyone who told me what he was going to do. one of the prosecutors was ridiculing my belief in god. and another one of them aaron

zalinski ridiculed my writing. he said he read all my works and listened to my chats and it's all lies. this is entirely political and they hate me. trish: you said i didn't know assange, and i didn't have anything to do with taking those emails. maybe i pieced 2 and together that he had them and you walked us through your logic on that. you said he had to have had them because he hadn't released them earlier. you believed he did. because you were smart enough to figure it out. somehow now you are a criminal. >> they wanted me to lie or make this connection. they said we connect this to roger stone and the whole conspiracy turns on you. you are connected to assange. i said to them repeatedly why

don't you ask julian assange. he said everybody, including fox news sean hannity, the russians did not give him the emails. they won't prove the predicate of their case, they want to harass my family. trish: julian assange is hanging out at the embassy of ecuador. >> they haven't gotten the dnc server. they knock on the do you know announced that we have an text message that you scrubbed a computer. he said my mother had an old computer. why don't come get this one instead of destroying it.

trish: there are suvs parked outside your family's places of work. trish: how do you know it just wasn't an suv. >> there are two fbi agents. this is a neighborhood in newark. the fbi was under the surveillance the moment they got there. i got phone calls that said you know where they are parked now? this person who has this business is a dear friend. very, very well known. and it's a tight-knit community. three days. stalking that business. trish: that's scary for your family members. >> my family has done nothing. why is my family under surveillance. why are they criminals. it's out of bounds. trish: is it because you dared to fight back?

are they saying how dare you jerome corsi mess with us? >> they can take a hike. my attorney larry klayman added these to the complaint. the attorney general whitaker if he's not a deep state agent. and we have a hearing before judge lerks on in a $350 lawsuit. i can prove they have been doing electronic surveillance maybe back to the nsa since i wrote "unfifth for command." trish: you think it's because you are consider admit cal threat whom they do -- considered a political threat whom they do not like. there is a difference between doing some digging and

publishing a book and actually being a criminal who conspired with the russians. >> they hate the current book that i published silent no more where i tell people way it's like to be 30 hours in this closed fbi room with no windows. they all act up and walk out of the room. i pace around the room for an hour. no cell phone, no laptop. we can prove they are releasing information from the grand jury illegally to defame me. trish: the january 3 hearing. you were telling me earlier today, i saw an email from someone in the government saying we won't be able to do this because we have a government shutdown going on. >> the shutdown doesn't affect mueller. the various department of justice lawyers will be working with mueller through the shutdown. they don't want to go to court

on this $350 million lawsuit. they are going to lose. trish: did you ever think you could get wrapped up in something like this? >> the power is unlimited. they can have 50 fbi agents full time watching everything i do. i'm sure this program will be scrutinized. name sure my cell phones are listened to. they are determined to find some crime. what is frustrating them is i haven't committed any crimes. i'm 72 years old. and neither has my family. trish: and you are fighting back. >> if it takes to us go to the supreme court, i'm going to do it. this is not justice in america. trish: michael cohen continues do it because they found on the i shall things including michael cohen's dealings in new york. they look and look and look.

they have a blank check to keep look. >> my faith is god is very strong. jesus christ my personal lord and savior. i'm not here to cheat and steal and do other things. and the family is the same. the family has never committed a single crime. now we are under massive fbi surveillance. i don't know if dad will be hauled away new year's day. i don't know. maybe. are we going to lose the house because they put you under severe economic pressure. this should not happen to any american. i have done nothing wrong. what's frustrating is they can't find the crime, despite how desperately they are looking. they can take a hike. trish: you heard it. take a hike.

jerome corsi, thank you so much. straight ahead, why it's not the federal reserve who is the enemy. our economy. it's the democrats. i'm setting the record straight why those on the left are the biggest danger to our nation. russia is trying to gain more access to cash-sphrapped venezuela. putin is trying to position himself less than 3 thundershowers from our florida coast. speaking of socialism. alexandria ocasio-cortez using christmas to get political. who she is comparing jesus to. one democrat says alexandria ocasio-cortez's policies are way too far left. i can't tell you who i am or what i witnessed,

but i can tell you liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i only pay for what i need. oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ a new way to save on travel. now when you book a flight you unlock discounts on select hotels that you can add on to your trip up until the day you leave. add on advantage. only when you book with expedia. and now you know. jardiance is the first type 2 diabetes pill proven to both reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...and lower a1c, with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration.

the stock market is down another 500 points. >> they say what can we do to stop maxine waters? what am i going to do to you? i'm going to do to you what you did to us. trish: it's this kind of receipt rick that's the real threat to tour economy. we need to forget about the fed and interest rates for a moment. the bigger roadblock to our economic success is the democratic party and nancy pelosi taking over the house. when you see the volatility in the markets, and today was a great day. when you see all this volatility. it's because investors are understandably fearful of the democrats' socialist style policy. policies designed to hurt businesses and strengthen government, right? that's what they are about.

they are the threat. really and truly hovering over your markets. not the federal reserve. i know there are feared the higher rates will dampen growth and we are not dismissing that concern. we don't need to worry about a square point hike. but we should be worried about nancy pelosi and her promise to hike taxes on corporations. we should worry about maxine waters and her multiple threats against the banking industry as well as the president himself. and we should worry about chuck schumer's single desire to act as an obstructionist on every policy put forth by our administration. these are the threats to our country. the rabid desire to take down

the president with investigations into a russian collusion that so far never seemed to have happened. that is the real threat. jay powell may raise rates because our economy is doing great. but did you see the numbers this holiday season? we are doing great. gdp is growing. jobless rates at their lowest. for african-americans, women, hispanics. but we can handle a square-point hike. but what we cannot handle and we do not need is for the democrats to play a major role in economic policies. every socialist marxist country i can think of has failed. our danger isn't higher interest rates. but a country trying to function

on basic economic instinkses. joining me, donald luftkin. good to see you. i know there is no love lost for jay powell. that said in the scheme of things, we have the democrats taking over the house in a matter of days. to me that is the bigger threat. how worried should we be about their policy? >> this is america. it's a constitutional right to have as many enemies as we want. i agree with you 100% that the democrats represent to us. but i think jay powell is a threat too and trump is right to say so. there is one big differential between powell and the democrats. you can be sure the democrats will spend the next two years develop-destructing. they are the economy's worst min and their own worst enemy.

but that will be the face of the democratic party. trish: when we talk about threats to the market, i think democrats are in fact a real threat. jay powell, we can handle a quarter point. don't get we wrong numbers not a ton of inflation and i don't think we need it. but he's respond together threant of a good economy. my fear is the democrats get in and dosing they to be destroy a good economy because it's worthwhile for them do so politically. >> fair enough. but to destroy it? they will reveal their intention is to destroy it. this is the same thing that happened saffron ald reagan first term. the democrats goin sane at the prosperity that the clownish

president manages to pull off. they try their best to destroy it and they destroy themselves in the process. trish: our good friend doug wead who is an historian, he pointed out to me, i remember when i was a kid and reagan was painted in the public life as a dummy. he was just an actor. he just stood up there and delivered lines. >> an aimable dunce. trish: just like they don't understand this president. there is a correlation, right? >> the correlation is the american public responds to people who look into a television camera and talk to the american people the way they want to be talked to. people don't want to be talked down by avatars of the deep

state. they want real people like ronald reagan and donald trump. it's just that they aren't able to do it now. and that's why this economy will do just fine. but the democrats will not be able to pull this off. trust me. >> i do think when you say their their own worst enemy, you are right. the more they move left and increasingly moving left, the more they isolate themselves. we have only to look around the world at marxist socialist economies that always fail. always. >> they are not listen together american people. they are listening to themselves. they are listening to a couple of thought leaders on the media. they are full up with the narcissism and the virtue signaling and thinking they are together noble thing. it won't do any good for the little guy to have this booming

economy turn into venezuela. trish: it's true, you look at alexandria ocasio-cortez or maxine waters. i twiewnt see this one as well. here she is going after wall street. >> that's all of wall street, the insurance companies and the banks. so of course the ceos of the banks are saying what can we do to stop maxine waters. if she gets in she'll give us a bad time. what can i going to do to you? what i'm going do is fair. i am going do to you what you did to us. trish: she is making it clear, she is on a vendetta. shat that is a mission. she is going to do to you what you did to us. all the blame that should have gone around.

are you going to blame them for keeping interest rates low. people who shouldn't have gone the loans were getting them. you can blame a whole host of people. but it's clear maxine is going to try to get her pound of flesh. >> that statement you played by her is just -- it's inciting violence, right? it's a completely -- nobody wants to have the government mess with banks on those terms. that's not a vote-getting strategy. i say bring it on. stop telling her not to talk that way. the more she talks that way, the more after landslide donald trump will get in 2020. trish: fears russia is planning

its hopes on venezuela. socialist democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez equating jesus to our refugees. one democrat is warning against the freshman congresswoman the freshman congresswoman saying she is way too far

kayla: our dad was in the hospital. josh: because of smoking. but we still had to have a cigarette. had to. kayla: do you know how hard it is to smoke in a hospital? by the time we could, we were like... what are we doing? kayla: it was time for nicodermcq. the nicodermcq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. and doubles your chances of quitting. nicodermcq. you know why, we know how.

so, the whole world is talking about ai. big, bold promises like... it'll find life on mars! but here's the thing. you don't live on mars. (beep) you build wind turbines. supply car parts to thousands of cities. answer millions of customer calls a year. like this one: no, i didn't order this. it's terrifying. and that's why you work with watson. hello. it knows your industry, protects your insights, and works with tools you already use. that's why it's the best ai for the job. trish: russia tightening its grip on cash strapped venezuela. the putin regime according to reports is buying at least five oilfield from venezuela. inflation is so bad there it's estimated to tote total 10

million percent in the coming year. what is 10 million percent inflation. this is exclusive video that we obtained from sources in venezuela. this is not garbage on the streets. it's money that's thrown all over the ground because the venezuelan currency has no value. none at all. people are starving and violence is break out in the streets. this as the maduro regime struggles for its very survival. you have the russians swooping in, gaining assets on the clean. we cannot allow the russians access to this communities, this less than a 3-hour flight from miami. not since 1963 have our rivals had such access to our coast. that's why i'm telling you the

maduro regime has reached its breaking point. when you are courting the likes of the russians, the iranians, the chinese or anyone we don't like and you just happen to be right here in the western hemisphere, it's a violation of what they call the monroe doctrine and we are not going to alight. joining me now, adam dawson. is it as bad as it seems. >> this is actually our backyard. that's what's so upsetting. last week you were showing videos of the russian bombers that landed. it's getting worse. you had an exxon drill ship and gun boats trying to board the exxon drill ship.

now all of a sudden they have russian military advisors on their soil. they have tens of thousands of cuban military advisors on their soil. it's emboldening them. that's the problem. it's our backyard, we can't stand for it. trish: no one in the world is recognizing this maduro regime. on january 10 he is no longer in the eyes of the free world legitimate. they say he stole the election. he's worried about john bolton assassinating him which an exaggeration. people are talking about whether this regime will be able to continue to exist. if they are courting the likes of the russians they are digging themselves deeper. >> i know we mentioned this other night. the average venezuela has lost

20 pound in the past two years. trish: that's from tar vision because there is no access to -- from starvation because there is no access to food. people fighting in the streets. looting the food trucks. >> what's so sad, this was the crown jewel of latin america. all of the u. s-corporations in the 80s and 90s operated there and very successfully. this is caracas where you have skyscrapers and condos and night life. it has 20% of the world's oil reserves. american assets seized. exxon, citco, and on and on.

trish: they don't quite have the technology we do. i spent some time in venezuela in caracas, going back about 10 years or so. it's amazing. they have this oil, it's super thick but very valuable. it's said to rival saudi arabia. they can't get it out of the ground because they don't have the technology. that's what the american companies were there for. >> it's a lesson to what happens when you bring in a socialist regimes. there are no incentives. you have graft and abuse. you have people buying people out. they were helped to become one of the most of profitable oil producing countries in the world, all of it is rusted.

trish: if it doesn't change soon we'll have a humanitarian crisis on our hands. >> you worry about 5,000 at the mexican border. what if it were a million? there is a path forward. it's not an easy path. but it will have to involve maduro making a deal with someone like trump who can go to him and say we'll give safe passage. you can go to russia. but reinstate the supreme court, reinstate the national assembly and bring american businesses back. trish: i don't see a commitment from them top have any work with us. we'll see. adam johnson, thank you so much. tomorrow night, new to our exclusive interview with the

vice president of venezuela. delcy rodriguez. maybe there is a path. socialist darling alexandria ocasio-cortez is comparing jesus to the migrants at the border. even the dems know her socialist rhetoric is dangerous. they are taking swipes at her as they should. a business owner always goes beyond what people expect. that's why we built the nation's largest gig-speed network along with complete reliability. then went beyond. beyond clumsy dials-in's and pins. to one-touch conference calls. beyond traditional tv. to tv on any device. beyond low-res surveillance video. to crystal clear hd video monitoring from anywhere. gig-fueled apps that exceed expectations. comcast business. beyond fast.

trash * take a look at this tweet by alexandria ocasio-cortez comparing jesus to refugee. she writes merry christmas mass,

everyone, here's to a holiday filled with happiness, family and love for all people. including refugee babe yet is in mangers. it was a little disrespectful. but that aside, this is a woman that i think is becoming increasingly dangerous for the democratic party and our country. with her style of economic policy, we are heading straight towards being venezuela. >> she is deeply ignorant on the constitution and the bible and economics. but i think it's too late for the democratic party. they have sown the wind and she'll reap the whirlwind.

she may and terrible representative for the democratic socialists. but there are more people in the democratic party who believe in medicare for all and this green deal that is nothing but a mossive tax. the party is what people say it is. you will see more democratic socialists winning primaries. and with a change in the super dell gament rules, i think the days of the centrists in the democratic party are gone. trish: are you worried about her and how the left has taken ahold of the party in a direction that you probably i can't imagine want to go. >> the gop and the conservatives aren't ones who believe that. i'm not worried about cortez. there are many voices in the democratic party like there are many voices in the gop.

i don't think the democratic party has gone too far left. you are talking about a tweet where she was talking figuratively not literally. trish: i'm going to leave that alone and get to the actual substance. she would like to take your money, scott, and give to it ned. are you okay with that? a redistribution of wealth. that's what socialism stands for. >> i don't want your money, scott. snacking can mean that pieces get stuck under mike's denture.
