4:00 am
lou: good evening, not only is president trump unhappy with the supposed border deal. an increasing number of republican are unhappy as well. what is perhap more troubling is that radical dimms are moving a bill not only incomplete expun d unfinished but a bill overly long and complex, number of pages in bill reportedly between 700 and a thousand. if true is preposterous, which is more compelling evidence that radical dems and come littl coms are trying to restrict the president and his administration
4:01 am
in securing the border. nobody knows better than president trump the treacherous nature of radical dems and aware primary reason appropriate or fashioned a bill so large to give their traps and hazards a lot of space to block not help this president in his efforts to secure the border. >> we have not gotten it yet. we'll get it we'll look for landmines, you could have that, you know it, has been known to happen before to people. we have not gotten it yet, it will be sent to us at some point. lou: we take up president's effort to inflational security crisis at the -- to end the national security crisis at our border. and dems and rino's attempts to stop him. cory lou endows ski, among our guests, and a former counter
4:02 am
intelligence agency, indicted as a iranian double agent, but why are the spy agents now coming forward with news, former air force specialist, charged with helping iran target her fell low agents and exposing u.s. defense department. as en tel intel community ledder publicly argue with the president. doctor walid phares will join me with the implications of this story and mystery to why now are we're learning about another another serious intelligence breach. >> a stunning confront trading n capitol hill, between ilhan omar, yes omar again. and trump administration special envoy to venezuela elliott
4:03 am
abrams. >> yes or no, would you support an armed faction went venezuela that engages in war crime, crimes again humanitarian or genocide if you believe they were serving u.s. interests as you did in guatemala, el salvador and nickell robey nic . >> i am not responding to that question, i don't think this meant to be real questions, i will not comply. lou: omar's questioning, if you can call it, that comes after outrage to ant anti-semitic twe. our top story, president trump beginning to emerge from what has been over two years of
4:04 am
attacks insults and viciousness from the national left wing media, fake news media, democrats, rinos, deep state and global elites. the president is clearly standing tall, his message direct. hoax of russia collusion charges dissipating. senate intelligence committing finding it confirms no conspare conspiracy no collusion between the trump campaign and russia. and dowd says he know information that mul mueller's office has, it has nothing to do with trump-russia collusion. they have developed almost nothing, questions -- nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and rest of radical dimms and
4:05 am
rino republicans systemsly blind to president's rising public support, and vindication in so many levels. the president simply put, winning. his opponents, flailing. new "fox news polling" showing that president makes a difference with support to border wall, border security, and building support to build the border and protect the nation. 66% of voters in latest fox poll favor bipartisan border security deal. as president said, it very likely contains quite a few landmines as he put it. blazed their by radical dimms and rinos on the committee, all of which white house must navigate before signing. even support for building the wall itself has risen from september last year. the 'is building momentum in
4:06 am
every area, whether china trade, markets or an economy growing at a rate that trev prev -- previous administration said it would take a magician to achieve. our next best. said that the bill is a bad deal, joining us congressman sean duffy. it is great to have you with us. this bill, i can't believe first of all it is of that late. can you? >> yes, i have not seen the bill. >> no one has. >> right. it is a garbage bill from the beginning, 1.4 billion is inefficient to secure the border, president asked for 5 foye .7. we trust the president. you mentioned people that throw things at him, he is like rocky
4:07 am
balboa, taking the punks and givepunch -- andgiving it right. they called it a deal, if he says no, america and the congress will blame him, he knows that. i think he will do is probably sign the deal, we won't like it. he will spend that 1.4 billion on the wall, try to take money from elsewhere and continues to build the wall. he will get it done. but, it should not be this hard. to make it happen. lou: this president can say as you have. that it should not be this hard. he has had it harder than any president you know anyone who reads history or like you, who participates in the making of history in the nation's capital.
4:08 am
you know, no one had to contend with this mad drive to subvert aan administration never in history of this country. it goes on. this president by the way as we were reporting is emerging from this. i believe stronger, he is right now his enemies and opponents are ignoring the reality, his support and building and theirs is waning, by the way the democratic party is falling apart. >> democrats off the rail. the things they are proposing, but this president is winning because he is sides with the american people, americans want safety and security, they believe in rule of law. all of the things he is fighting for on the border. by the way, he is compassionate as well. when we have a meth and heroin
4:09 am
epedemic going on in my state, you are killing people, leaving little kids. they are molested and sexual assaulted from central america to the border. we have better student, higher wages, they love him for, that they can -- americans can see through the garbage of the left wing media and deep staters, who are trying to take down a president who is fighting for american people, i think that is why his poll numbers continue to rise. lou: what he calls fake news, media, the giant media corporations, whether comcast or at&t, these are fake news media companies who are driving their news outlets to attack this president. this should not be ignored. whether it is -- i mean it just goes on and on. but now they are exhausting
4:10 am
themselves, not even they believe they can continue with the lies in the face of the revelations and conclusion of senate intel, no collusion, house intel, no collusion, word from special council they are nearing a conclusion to the witch-hunt. this big stuff. >> lou, we are not surprised by anyone not finding any collusion. we know that this town leaks like a sive. there are no secrets here, it would have been leaked. there has been zero evidence, no wonder senate committee did not find any, mueller will not find any. and with left wing media, what frightens me, these are smart people -- >> who is smart, woe, woe. >> i'll say well educated. not smart,. lou: okay. >> they are promoting a left
4:11 am
wing socialist agenda, any stewart of history would say it brings despair and poverty. lou: let's bring -- come back to the deal that been put in front of this president. he is keenly aware of the as he put it landmines, hazards and attempts to constrain him. do you supports freedom caucus, one week interim spending bill to fun the government, seen as an effort to derail the package itself? >> i don't think it will happen, but i do support it because, it is a garbage deal, it can only get better a week from now, let's take that shot, see if we can get a better deal next week. so yeah. and.

4:16 am
lou: joining us byron york, chief political correspondent for the examiner. victoria tensing, founding partner of the geneva and tensing law firm. let's start with you. this is becoming amazing at this moment.
4:17 am
the president is emerging, we're getting it from senator burr. they have no evidence of any kind of any collusion between russia and the trump campaign. we're seeing straight forwardly this president persevere and emerge from what ha has been constant assault from the left. right now clearly. ramrampant corruption at the tof fbi and justice department, your thoughts? >> we're seeing patrick kennedy, was attempting to obstruct justice, when he asked fbi to declassify hillary clinton's e-mails, he was obstructing justice, tampering with eviden evidence. this permiated the state
4:18 am
department, they supported hillary, half of still them are still there patrick kennedy was infamous, if you crossed hillary or him, your career of demolished, he did that to my client. in the benghazi -- greg complained about susan rice lying, they brought him back, put him in a broom closet. lindsey graham said, if you don't sign those paper, i'm never doing another thing for you again, a miracle occurred. >> we have to move on. good news is that there was intervention. kudos to you and senator graham. let me turn byron, on this because president is emerging.
4:19 am
from this for him a nightmare. no president and no american people, should not have to put up with it now. as we see that he being respond vindicated, exonerated if you will. house dems say they will keep on lashing out as long as they can. irrespective of the evidence. >> i think it is causing a lot of scrambling on part of a lot of house presidents. what we saw from richar rich bur confirmed from a report from nbc news, was that the senate intelligence committee, remember they were supposed to be the adults in the room on capitol hill. lou: there are no adults on capitol hill. >> they had not found proof of collusion. senator burr said that clearly,
4:20 am
this is a week or two after hearing words from mueller investigation that maybe it will end with a whimper. not a big deal. there will be no big collusion. lou: do you think that is the case? based on your reporting? >> we have not seen anything he has done that we know about that indicates he is moving in direction of changing anyone with conspiracy. the thing is, remember, a lot of house democrats were depending on mueller to give them road map, cover to start an impeachment process. lou: maybe they should investigate mueller for being too easy on the president. >> they realized they have to do it themselves, they want to keep pursuing the president. lou: they want to destroy the man could subvert his administration, they would love to care out a an actual coup d'etat. >> well, they are not going to
4:21 am
be able to do it, quote former lawyer for president trump who said, i know all of the evidence, i know what they have, they ain't not nothing. lou: as we have reported here. where are we headed with this byron. democrats, i guess they can do as they please, but they will pay a horrible political price for it. one cannot imagine them doing well in 2020. if they continue to politically corrupt attacks on a sitting president. >> where we're going with it, democrats can do what they want in the house, they can't pass laws, but they can investigate on their own in the house. lou: they can be told to go on hell. let's not get carried away. >> that is the president's
4:22 am
prerogative. lou: schiff and nadler are out of their minds. victoria seems that president could brush them aside azizly -- easley as one could imagine. >> no better teacher than obama administration with executive privilege. lou: last word. >> trump justice department was tough. on republicans who were trying to find out what was going on. but let me give you two words. tax returns. house democrats are just crazed to get the president's tax returns. that is where. lou: they better run like hell for the middle of that swamp, byron york victoria tensing. >> thank you. >> up next, must see -- exchange for venezuela. >> and the radical omar credit,
4:23 am
speaker of the house, nancy pelosi for her being there and for her being still in congress. gordon chang will join us next, we take up latest on trade talks and an extraordinary confrontation between major confrontation between major powers in the
4:24 am
4:25 am
4:26 am
as a parent, confrontation between major powers in the your life is your child. with luke, he's just, he's the whole world you know. he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and it just rips your heart out. you feel completely helpless. but when you come to st. jude, that is a whole other level of care. you have cutting edge scientific research here, doctors at the top of their game, and there's nothing but love in everything that they do. i asked my wife, i was like what is this going to cost us? and then we did a little bit of research and then we realized that no family ever receives a bill. st. jude covers the cost of everything so that we could focus on our family. st. jude gave our family the chance to be together. they saved our son's life, and we did not pay a cent. and that wouldn't have been possible without st. jude.
4:27 am
lou: omar, radical new fres fre, anti-semite. they clashed in a foreign affairs committee over his history in late inamerica. >> -- latin america. >> in 1991, you pleaded guilty to two counts of with holding in from, congress regarding your involvement in iran contra affair. i fail to understand why member of this committee or american people should find any testimony
4:28 am
that you give today to be truthful. >> if i could respond. >> i -- it was not a question. >> it was -- >> that not a question. i reserve the right to my time. >> it is not right. >> that not a question. >> a committee cannot attack a witness who is not permitted to reply. >> that not a question. lou: quit a display. her anti-semitic remarks without consequence? why the speaker of the house nancy pelosi keeps congresswoman on foreign affairs committee is deeply disturbing and troubling to many. president trump said she should resign from damag congress or at be relieved to her appointment to foreign affairs committee, of all committees to put a
4:29 am
anti-semitic freshman congresswoman, it is stunning stuff. >> xi jinping to be with mnuchin and hig for trade talks. >> joining me now, columnist, a other, gordon chang, this remarkable we watch huawei move through a civilian court, what they are charged with is espyion espionage there is not a national security response. and watching treasury secretary and trade representative meeting with xi, to talk about trade while the islands in south china sea are for much at focus of a power conflict between the two
4:30 am
nation. >> it is wrong for mnuchin to go to chain plead with xi jinping, that is not the way we should to it, we should hit him hard, often, so he does not get back up, that is how you deal with criminals. lou: they are criminals, they are the biggest organized criminal enterprise in the world or history of the world, they have been stealing billions from this country for decades. wrought consequence or response. >> we call it a trade war, but really this is an attempt to prevent chinese from each year stealing hundreds of billions. under xi jinping they are worse in their trade violations and obligation to u.s., and on international community. lou: i still think that the vice president, of course, at president's instructtion giving a speech, talking about chinese, wall street officials dealing with chinese at the beck and
4:31 am
call of the chinese as unregistered foreign agents, i thought that was a pretty good description of business round table, chamber of commerce and wall street. >> we have to go to september 16 last year, beijing summoned heads of wall street firms to go to chain talk about midterm elections, many went. this is a interference in our electoral process, this is unacceptable. lou: this president is tealing g with short coming, failures of the previous administrations with china. they not only enabled they financed them, and turned over everything in this country to them for their taking. this president has to deal with what is now, that for example, davidson commander of ind indopacific command, he said of this.
4:32 am
the chinese communist party leadership in beijing senses weakness, they are testing our resolve, if we do not act urgently, they can soon conclude, they can -- their threw force. we cannot -- >> in nou none of his comments d he say what we should do or a president who is moving against intervention of chinese in this country affecting our national security. and this hemisphere. >> there has been a change in attitude when president trump took was on the, you see many more of the freedom of navigation operation and more in china, and a president who wants to build up the navy. lou: he is. >> more so than money admirals do. china does pose this challenge to u.s. and the countries in the
4:33 am
region, our western defense perimeter is not off california or hawaii, it is off the coast of east asia, this is where we keep chinese navy and air force bottled up. lou: davidson a comments, one thing that is troubling me is that lack of a to what should be done. with any specificity about threat posed by the china, we know it is large. we look at the reports, at annual reports. on the program china -- potential chanc china conflict. only this president has been directing our military, our defense industry toward the threats posed by russia and china. as well as iran. >> you can see in national defense strategy that trump administration issued in december, that is a landmark document that will be remembered
4:34 am
after this administration leaves office. most of national security strategies people forget, this is important, it named china and russia as adversaries of united states, that is an important shift for us, you can't defend yourself until you acknowledge who threatening us. lou: president bush failed to name the enemy after september 11. it was a war on radical terror. that persisted to early days of this administration. thankfully it has been resolved. great to see you. >> thank you. lou: gordon chang. >> up next, here, an islamic convert, former u.s. counter intelligence agency turned trader. and works as a double agent for iran, we take it up after the break, dr. walid phares joins break, dr. walid phares joins us, stay with
4:35 am
my twin brother jacob has an autism spectrum disorder i remember one moment after being at school all day and i remember him getting into the car just balling... and saying: "mom, i have no friends" "why don't i have any friends?" it broke my heart. ♪brother let me be your shelter♪ ♪never leave you all alone that was the moment when i realized that i needed to do something about this. i needed to make a difference in his life. go! and i knew that if i could help him find a friend, i could help teach other people that including people with differences is the right thing to do. ♪bring it home ♪brother let me be your shelter♪ that was the inspiration behind my non-profit "score a friend" educating people to include the people with differences is so important because when jacob's included he feels like he can succeed in life and he feels like he actually has a purpose. ♪..home
4:36 am
4:37 am
4:38 am
♪..home when i heard that azalshe had a tumor, everything just became dark. when i came to st. jude, i started to get back some light in my life. on top of first-class, best care, you'll never receive a bill. so that you can zoom in and just focus on this child. the only thing we had to worry about was just keeping azalea comfortable. st. jude saved her life, and it saved us as a family.
4:39 am
lou: a former u.s. air force counter intelligence agent has been charged with reveals classified information to iran. working as a double agent, she has since defected. joining us to take this up dr. walid phares. international expert on terrorism, national security. and -- great to have you with us. it is coming to light now. she has defected, she defected almost 4 years ago. what is going on with this intelligence community we seem to persist in permitting the contractors to behave just about as say wish without significant surveillance and assurance they are who they say they are or secure in their jobs?
4:40 am
>> lou, all of the factions since cold war after the cold war from our community, are fascinating. each one is a movie by itself. the question, i have she was part of the intelligence community. does not matter if she was inside or a contractor, this is very serious vetting, i have lectured to and worked with hundreds and hundreds of special agencies and analysts for 15 years -- >> the government is fill the with these contractors. >> right. i can guarantee one thing 99.99% of those people are american patriots, they are supposed to make sure around them, if anyone sends a wrong message to report about it, that is where the issue is, how come she was not spotted before. lou: not spotted. not picked up without any sort
4:41 am
of lie detector program. without any surveillance of any kind, corroboration, vetting against by a out source. background check agency, again the same one that produced through booz allen edward snowden for crying out loud. what have we learned? what is going on? we have intelligence agency heads contradicting the president of united states, while time and time again we see evidence they are not doing their job. >> the problem is those subcontracted agents or companies, mention one. if you are penetrating them, it is easier than penetrating the government directly. >> this woman did both. >> yes. my question is, you can note be
4:42 am
silent forever and discussing every day with your colleagues iran. when i lectured, everyone was part of that discussion, if one person adopts iranian position, have a case. why was no not reviewed. lou: why was is not reviewed? and why is this going through the court system now, why is not pursued as national security matter. we're talking about a person who defected. about four iranians charged, are you kidding me? charged? what are we? this -- we're in an international contest, a conflict with iran, ideological and it flairs into armed conflict on occasion, in persian gulf, what are we doing? >> look, we putting huge sanctions on iran, we're now organizing a conference in warsaw for pressures.
4:43 am
because we don't have national security courts. >> we put sanctions on iran and president obama gave them $150 billion to fund whatever the -- whatever viciousness they want tto inflict on the world, on the western world. >> one thing they funded, we now know, they funded back their networks here in the west. we sent them billions, they bought bloggers, they bought inflewence. lou: walid phares, we'll continue to loo look at this extraordinary news development. >> thank you. lou: up next, senator cory booker says meat eaters's day are numbered. that is not only radical idea from the 2020 radical dimms.
4:44 am
how exciting is the contest? we take it up with cory. he knows what they have to deal with. stay with us, we'll be right back. guys, it's that time... and nothin's happenin'. well now there's score!, from force factor, to rev your libido and maximize physical response. it's no wonder walmart offers score! in more locations than any other performance enhancer. unleash your potential in the bedroom, with score!.

4:48 am
lou: on wall street, stocks closing higher, do yo dow up 11. volume 3.6 billion shares, since election day the trump economy has added over 7 trillion dollars, crude oil closing flat. $54 a barrel. and gasoline prices are low. gold closing flat, silver down over a half percent, listen to my reports three times a day coast-to-coast on salem radio network. lou: two unnamed sources tell "washington post" that president trump installed a -- quof golf simulator in the white house, played for by president's very own money, replacing the one that was installed by president obama.
4:49 am
this is after the leakers in white house share three months of president's private will ask with act actios and others, joi, cory lewindowski. leakers in white house are shuttling out stuff about a golf simulator, really? >> maybe it was a planted leak. we saw unlike obama administration, donald trump pied for thi paid for this himss is not taxpayer money. there are so few people around him that want him to be successful, just think this white house, was filled with people who actually top put america first. lou: but why -- we're in year 3. can you imagine that. that must be amazing to you in particular. year 3 of this president,
4:50 am
historic what he has accomplished, we are still dealing with leaks in the white house. why the hell can't someone find the leakers and correct the problem? >> i think that president made some significant changes in his personal around him. i just saw mick mulvaney, i know they will find the individual who leaked president's schedule, he said, if they find that person, they are likely a careered government. employee, that's won't be able to fire that person immediately, can you can imagine that. lou: someone is not using their imagination. >> they can be reassigned to siberia. lou: wow ul be imaginative in sorting this out. turn to this border wall deal, president today making it clear to all of us, it is filled with landmines, as he said.
4:51 am
traps and all sorts of ways in which to obstruct the president in his efforts to secure the nature. it south right treachery when you think about it what the dems are doing and the rinos who put this deal forward, which is an insult as sean duffy said at start of the broadcast, to put 26% of what he asked for in the bill, instead of the full aim. amount. >> i would love to blame democrats for this, but point is paul ryan failed us for two years. lou: what is that name? >> you know it better than anyone, i think you said it a few times, democrats are talking about beds, this not a -- a be, this is not a bed, a bed is what you. >> to when you go home, this jail cell. they want to put a cap on the murderous criminals. that not parts of the bill because president would not allow it he will put people in
4:52 am
jail when they break the law, 1.375 billion is a down payment, i don't have insight, but what my recommendation to president circumstance you take that money from congress, then you declare the emergency, where you have access to billions of dollars, you finish the wall that you promised. that is what i think not for sure, i know his resolve in getting this wall done. lou: no question he will get it done. makes a promise high keeps a promise. the other part of this is, that we're watching the democrats shift farther to the left. i mean as radical as hillary clinton seemed against the president's populism in 2016. it looks like he will face a candidate who is -- i mean they could very well be investigated for collusion with the russian, the chinese, cuba and every other communist nation on earth.
4:53 am
because their economic policies at least are beyond statist and socialist. >> it should be socialism on trial, let's have this in court of public opinion. if they take identify medicare that is a -- if they takeover medicare that 32 trillion dollar cost to our economy. i love -- i do know say this often, i love what mitch mcconnell is going put it on the floor, make every democrat in u.s. senate vote if they support aoca plac's plan for green inite that no more airplanes, no more cows, no more meat. lou: this is a fa fascinates prospect. perhaps not so much for radical dimms in country to come up again this president who by then ul have doubled his accomplis
4:54 am
accomplishments. i believe it you are investigating the trump administration you look at people who are closer to economic and systemically political views to -- seemingly political views to carl marks that would be basis for -- maybe we should vet them before they get in office. >> it is simple, the progressives are so far left may make speaker nancy pelosi look like a conservative of the themcrattic party--democratic pd scare america, they want to tax you after you made money on your income tax, but having it in the bank, bill gates said that is a problem, even -- they are crazy,
4:55 am
lou. >> i got it appreciate it. cory lewindowski. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back after these quick words, stay with us. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. great news for anyone wh- uh uh - i'm the one who delivers the news around here. ♪ liberty mutual has just announced that they can customize your car insurance so that you only pay for what you need. this is phoebe buckley, on location. uh... thanks, phoebe. ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

4:58 am
4:59 am
lou: congress we are told is work overtime to finalized the border security bill to the president for his signature. congressman sean duffy says the money in the bill isn't enough. >> 1.4 billion is insufficient to secure our border. the president is asking for $5.7 billion, and he's not getting what is necessary to build the wall. lou: nasa's rover opportunity has completed its mission as of today.
5:00 am
another testament to the engineering of nasa and the lubl telescope. it's been sending back pictures like this one since 1990. cheryl: it is thursday, february 14th. high level trade talks kick off in beijing with robert lighthizer and steven mnuchin as president trump is weighing a 60 day extension to the march 1st deadline. lawmakers burning the midnight oil to nail down a border security deal. the details breaking overnight. we've got them. and valentine's day spending will hit record today. who is forking over the dough and who is looking to be shourd with gifts? the answer may surprise you.
