police report. that's it for us. general jack keane, jason chaffetz and marc lotter among our guests tomorrow. good night from new york. [♪] trish: breaking right now, venezuelan socialist dictator nicolas maduro preparing for what he calls an invasion from the americans. i have an exclusive report on his efforts to prevent any humanitarian aid. dozens of protesters have been killed and hundreds have been locked up. my exclusive interview with the man the free world recognizes as the interim president of venezuela. juan guaido. also tonight, as we watch this

revolution against socialism three hours south of our border. socialist darling alexandria ocasio-cortez is making more noise back at home fighting back against her critics. plus, just breaking right now. foxconn firming the prosecutor has charged "empire" actor jussie smollett for falsely reporting that he was charged in a hate crime. "trish regan primetime" starts right now. breaking tonight, socialist dictator neil cavuto desperately trying to go on the offensive. i hear reports he's staging military snipers on roof tops and near the water designed to prevent any aid from reaching his people and any of the people from collecting aid. one source telling me his

military has been trained by the cubans in unconventional war tactics. intimidation may be one of them. we have reports that he's threatening his people. amnesty international says dozens of protesters have been killed and hundreds have been jailed. all of this as we received a new photo of one of the five americans held in captivity by the maduro regime. you met his daughters on this program. this is him before he left home to attend a business meeting in caracas more than a year ago, and you see the picture of him now. i spoke with maduro's top official vice president dulcy rodriguez. she said, trish, there are many lies out there and that quote, i

don't believe the courts. these people were sent as officials from citgo to venezuela. they are neither hostages or u.s. citizens. they are venezuelans facing corruption charges. they have dual citizenship. tell that to the american families who want their american father's home. i asked juan guaido about the hostages. here is part two of my exclusive interview with the man who may soon lead all of venezuela. i want to show you the photo of this man. [speaking spanish] >> [through the interpreter] here we are a little over 14 months now. and we are pleading for help from president trump. mr. maduro, mr. guaido, down to

the jailer holding the keys to their cell. if you understand human rights, understand grief. we are going through, if you believe in justice you can let them come back home. trish: he wants their help. what can you tell the families tonight. [speaking spanish] >> [through the interpreter] part of the venezuelan struggle has occurred due to the violation of human rights. it has become systematic. in fact the international criminal court has acknowledged it for years. and we are working to recover our rights precisely. in venezuela we can repair our

judicial system. there is no judiciary because of the dictatorship. we look to free the political prisoners and restore our government for the good of the citizenry. trish: [speaking spanish] what's your message to everyone in venezuela and the up s. tonight? >> [through the interpreter] we are seeing an unprecedented moment for our country as well as the region. a dictatorship that consumed all powers who has brought our country to ruin, one that held the biggest oil reserves. who has held thousands of venezuelans imprisons unjustly.

but now they need mobilization and reeducation and advancement. we are very close to our freedom. and we are lucky that this international effort has been dmoopght this. has been cooperating on this. february 23 we'll be back in the streets to demand our freedom and peacefully to achieve freeing venezuela and do what's needed to put an end to the dictatorship. now is the time that we must continue making progress. we are very hopeful and we are very close to achieving our objectives, goals and democracy. trish: we are all watching. and i think most of all of america is with you. good luck. thank you. >> [through the interpreter] thank you very much. trish: freedom tonight is very

close. the people are prepared to march. they are prepared to access that humanitarian aid at the border with colombia in less than 52 hours. how does all of this go down? do we see a meaningful change? does juan guaido become the interim president the rest of the world recognizes saturday? here with me now, the man who represents all the venezuelan debt holders of venezuela, hans, it's good to have you back. you are a debt holder, you want to get repaid. you have got some skin in this game. you want this to happen, i would think smoothly, quickly. you want it to go in up a way that venezuela can get back on its feet so it can pay its bills. it's simple. i think you are someone

important to talk to on all of this. how do you think it plays out? >> there are many ways it can play out in a way that's not favorable to the people of venezuela or to the creditors of venezuela. if this is mismanaged, you are in an area of the world that has had brutal civil wars. there is a history in venezuela of guerrilla movements starting. right next door in colombia you had the farc and the lm in the jungles for decades. so the ideal thing for all of us is there is a smooth transition, a democratic process that results in a legitimate leader of venezuela. one would hope it's done in a way that's more consistent with something that happened in south africa than i don't know, some places broken down into civil wars. trish: libya would be a bad

example. >> we wouldn't want to see an iraq. trish: iraq as well, i should let the viewers know. you have maduro being forced aside by the international community. he's refusing the aid that the international community is offering. so what is it going to take to get him to go live in that villa off somewhere on the beach far far away from vebs as john bolton has repeatedly offered. >> if you take a few steps back, you realize maduro is not being irrational by hunkering down. he has gotten some raw pledges of amnesty in the united states. but there are plenty of instances where exile has not worked out. so what i think the united states needs to do as a global leader. i don't think we need to go in there and spend u.s. taxpayer

money to rebuild the country. what we need to do is provide global leadership toward democracy. i think the model with that should be truth and reconciliation so you give amnesty to a broad swath of the population that might have been involved in some bad things. but the problem with maduro is, if he starts telegraphing in any fashion he's not ready to leave, there are much worse people behind him who may have been using him for a cover. i don't think you can say that he might be a dead man before he gets to the plane that takes him out of the country. you think about anybody involved in narco trafficking, any of the illegal militia activity that he's protecting. if they lose him as the person with the finger on the levers, they are exposed to the subsequent trials. trish: if the united states says we'll make sure you are safe and

we'll give you amnesty. i would think the word of the united states would mean something. >> i think there is good opportunity to flesh that out. don't wait until you get to the negotiating table to explain how this works. we have good models of a transition of power whether it's south africa or northern ireland where you took basically combatants and brought them into the political process. there were a lot more criminals in northern ireland and south africa who were rehabilitated through the truth and reconciliation process. you need an adult at the table. this is a good opportunity for the united states to be the adult. saying we'll get this guy out of there and oversee the dialogue between the two polarized elements of society to build something that functions going forward.

trish: the stakes are high and this will require high-level diplomacy for sure. thank you so much. coming up, everyone. former fbi acting director andrew mccabe says it's possible andrew mccabe is a russian asset. it's okay when former president obama is caught on a hot mic saying he'll have more flexibility after the election. but when president trump fires comey's a russian agent. robert mueller is said to be ready to release the results of his russia probe as early as next week. will it feel like the wheend of a journey?p working,

or the beginning of something even better? when you prepare for retirement with pacific life, you can create a lifelong income... so you have the freedom to keep doing whatever is most meaningful to you. a reliable income that lets you retire, without retiring from life. that's the power of pacific. ask your financial professional about pacific life today. this is the all-new it's beautiful.. beefy and mean looking. it's the strongest, most advanced silverado ever. the cab is bigger than the last generation. it's the first truck i've seen make you look small. but that's not all... whoo! oh my... whoa! the silverado has more cargo volume than any competitor. very impressive. now, during the chevy presidents day sales event, get 0% financing for 72 months on this all-new silverado. drive yours away this presidents day. if you want to know why people you have to start by asking...

could listening to audible help you find the secret to a stronger relationship? sometimes it doesn't take anything at all for us... just say "alexa, give me my free audible book," and your first pick is on us. bill's back needed a afvacation from his vacation. an amusement park... so he stepped on the dr. scholl's kiosk. it recommends our best custom fit orthotic to relieve foot, knee, or lower back pain. so you can move more. dr. scholl's. born to move. when it comes to so,type 2 diabetes,.. are you thinking about your heart? well, i'm managing my a1c, so i should be all set. right. actually, you're still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. even if i'm taking heart medicine, like statins or blood thinners? yep! that's why i asked my doctor what else i could do... she told me about jardiance. that's right. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. that's why the american diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. and it lowers a1c? yeah- with diet and exercise.

jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the genital area could also occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

trish: new reports, robert mueller's russia probe could soon be coming to a probe. the special counsel has been digging into so-called collusion for nearly two years now. but we already know that a pair of congressional panels have turned up zero hard evidence of a so-called conspiracy between donald trump and russia. yet former acting fbi director andrew mccabe now alleges that the president is work on behalf of the russians. just listen. >> do you still believe the president could be a russian asset. >> i think it's possible. i think that's why we started our investigation. i'm anxious to see whether dr director mueller concludes that. trish: he wants to sell books and he better sell them fast because we are getting reports that mueller's report is coming

out next week. and there may not be all that much there there. so i guess andrew mccabe needs to do that book tour pretty darn fast. hillary clinton is escaping any scrutiny at all. at the very least wouldn't you question her ethics of dealing with the russians while simultaneously her husband is getting paid $500,000 by them? let's bring in a former administration official in the justice department. if you want to figure out how the russians might have been manipulating things in the u.s., shouldn't you explore it all? >> certainly. but one of the things that's stunning to hear from andy mccabe is his insistence that donald trump is an agent of the russians. apparently he hasn't been paying

attention to what's been going on with the mueller investigation. with the hacking of the emails, both times it was made clear that month americans wittingly took part in those schemes. so i'm not sure where andy mccabe is getting his information. maybe he's just guessing. i would suspect next week or the week after mccabe will wish he had those words back. trish: or at least hope that he sold a lot of books. trish: what do you think was going on here? >> as far as mccabe? trish: the whole thing. mccabe. the mueller investigation. as far as the democratic party salivating at this opportunity to get rid of the president, now they are realizing maybe there is no there there. it seems to me this is all very banana republic. and there is a rush to judgment

without having the facts in front of them. there is this idea that somehow he stole the election because the russians helped him do it and if you really want to talk about ma manchurian candidates. barack obama was caught on tape telling the lieutenant to vladimir putin that he had more flexibility once the elections were over. this is wild to me. >> i think it's interesting what's going to happen when this investigation concludes. democrats have assumed this is going to prove everything they hoped for. i think it will do the exact opposite. i think this will be a major disappointment to democrats. you will see fights about getting full investigative files before congress. one of the things you talk about a banana republic, under james comey and andrew mccabe, they

ran the fbi as fit was independent of political leadership at the department of justice. the way that they operate first with declining to prosecute hillary clinton when it wasn't their call to make, then opening an investigation into the president for being a russian asset when they had no evidence of that, let's not forget, andy mccabe, peter strzok and lisa page, they were the ones talking all the time. they are constantly referencing going into andy's office talking about not letting president trump win. i think you had three people running this thing. and it's kind of scary that they thought they were independent of political leadershiprship and they could do -- political leadership and do whatever they want. trish: you can't try and manipulate the political system after the fact.

the american people voted. for them to try and concoct a crazy story that he's work forth russians, i'm only reporting what i have seen so far which is basically nothing. i am led to question why we wasted two years doing that. let me just say. if vladimir putin wanted to mess with us he succeed. for the last two years we have been consumed with this mueller thing and people saying he's not my president with a complete lack of respect for that office and for him. >> absolutely. i 100% agree with that. if the russians draw up plan on how to create chaos in the united states, they couldn't have drawn up anything better than this. they were trying to cause chaos. that was their sole goal. whether it was the troll farm or the hacking.

they thought hillary clinton was going to win. but they wanted chaos before the election or a weakened hillary clinton as president which is what they thought they were going to get. ultimately donald trump won and now we have chaos. trish: you might have chaos had hillary clinton won. russians did do third job and making sure they had trolls out there it was win-win for put. it sounds like our media and a lot of people at the fbi are too stupid to figure that out. socialist darling alexandria ocasio-cortez still defending her role in derailing amazon's move to new york city. we'll show how her basic lack of economics knowledge cost new york millions in revenues and jobs. more than two dozen ms-13 gang

[♪] >> there was very little details and commitments on paper. so that's really the core of it. like they say it's 25,000 jobs. is it? that's what the public wasn't convinced of. trish: apparently she wasn't. that was alexandria ocasio-cortez trying to justify herself and justify her reasoning as to why she didn't

want amazon in queens, new york. now she is playing the oh they must just think i'm dumb or ill informed because i'm young. they think people are attack her for no reason. there is a reason representative alexandria ocasio-cortez, 25,000 of them. having a company like amazon could be grate for an area like queens. d could be great for an area like queens. she doesn't want corporations there. she thinks money should go to government workers instead. let me explain how the world works. companies create jobs. and when people have jobs, they spend money. when they spend money guess what? they create more jobs. that means you get more tax revenue that you can then do all

your fun things with. so the money new york would have spent would have been returned to new york city in spade. there is a danger in her populist socialist rhetoric which is why i think it's important to highlight it. otherwise i might say don't bother. but the fact that this kind of rhetoric is catching on, it's important for us in the country to watch out. don't forget, hugo chavez said some similar things. i listened to a lot of his speeches when i flortd venezuela. they were all for the good of the work and against big bad companies. hugh go chavez scared companies away from venezuela. now the country is left with drug lords, terrorists and no business at all.

before the left jumps all over me. i'm not suggesting she has the autocratic dictatorship tendencies or qualities as a chavez and maduro. not at all. but i am pointing out something that should be pretty darn obvious. socialism is not a sustainable economic system, especially in a country as large as the united states of america. but i'm all for dialogue. so tonight i'm inviting alexandria ocasio-cortez to come on this program. she can name it date. she can name the time and the place. i will be there. stop hiding on msnbc and liberal networks. come here and have a legitimate, respectful substantive economic debate. by the way, cory booker is no

fool. he's trying to get amazon to come to new jersey. marc lotter, good to see you. what is it that she is missing in all of this? i hate to take us back to econ-101. we all had that class, most of of us that are adults today. what is she missing? >> a basic lack of understanding about commerce. think about how many cities were fighting and drawing up plans to atwract those amazon jobs. sadly, this isn't just a one^-off case with cortez. you have the democrats running for president who want to destroy manufacturing jobs, auto jobs, airplane manufacturing jobs. they want to destroy private healthcare, and bernie sanders saying people are going to lose their jobs.

what is it about the democrat socialist party that wants to kill jobs? president trump is creating jobs, they are destroying them. >> maybe he'll take the opposite side of everything. there was a time when dianne feinstein said we cannot be a welfare system for mexico. there was a time when you had people on the left campaigning for border security. the problem now is he says, one thing and they go immediately the other way. that's not healthy for a political dialogue. that's why i think it's important. i would like her to come on and we could take a lot of time and sit down and address this and have a healthy discussion. but instead it's all one way or the other. >> it's showing the contrast where these two parties are right now. the president has got the facts on his side. wages going up, and the only

thing the democrats can have right now is to destroy jobs. trying to build a government system, a government socialized healthcare system. it's really a contrast. when i look ahead at 2020, that's the choice the american people are going to face. trish: ultimately it shouldn't be that hard. but i think it's important to keep highlighting. marc lotter. thank you so much. vice president mike pence warning me months ago there are some bad actors inside the migrant caravan. we just learned two dozen dangerous ms-13 gang members were found inside the latest caravan. the left is insisting there is nothing to see here. i'm talk to a border sergeant who has seen firsthand that

trish: mexico deporting 25ms-13 gangs members after officials discover them hiding among the caravan near our southern border. the humanitarian crisis is very real in latin america. and it's spilling over closer and closer to our country. don't you think this sort of event human thing to do would be to help and make sure we don't have this kind of crisis happening on our borderer? joining me, national border patrol agent, hector garza. they are going after him pretty

hard saying this is all made up and it's a political stunt. let's not forget, hector. many, many members of the left begs for more funding. i believe bill richardson said a national knowledge should be declared. what is different about now? >> we have been sounding the alarm on the dangerous criminals coming across our border. we are talking about dangerous criminal aliens including gang members, murderers and kidnappers it's an emergency. we need to make sure we stop this crisis. >> you talk about the gang members and identified a series of them. the other thing no one wants to talk about and everybody gets upset when it comes up, but it's real. i have spent 13 years reporting on it, and that's the activity we see of hezbollah in latin

america. i asked mike pompeo specifically about hezbollah in venezuela. i want you to hear what he says. if we have this many people coming into the country. if you look at the size of these crowds and caravans, you have to worry about things like this. do you have concerns that venezuela runs the risk of turning into a no-man's land with bad actors with links to hezbollah who could be more of a threat because they are in our hemisphere. >> i'm glad you brought that up. hezbollah have active cells. iranians are affecting the people of central and south america. we have the obligation to take down that risk for america. trish: if we don't know who is coming in these caravans.

then hector, isn't this kind of a crisis? wouldn't you define this as an emergency situation where we need to be able to patrol who is coming in and out of our border officers. >> there is no doubt in my mind that some of these bad actors are coming across the border. we don't have enough manpower and physical barriers to stop the people coming across. we have people with serious criminal records coming across. this an influence of criminal organizations in south america and countries like venezuela. border patrol agents apprehend a lot of serious criminals but just as many get away and enter the country illegally. we need to make sure we support president trump and physical barriers, infrastructure and manpower. trish: good to get your

perspective. president trump's national emergency is facing legal challenges. 16 states are questioning the president's authority in court. if the president determines this is a national emergency and his intelligence officials agree with him, isn't that enough? mercedes colwin, good to see you. the president of the united states is going to have information that is being expressed to him from intelligence officials that let's just say the judges and the courts don't have. >> well, certainly the judges in the courts will look at the states and say, do you have a compelling interest to have standing? do you even have standing to bring this case forward? much of the complaints set forth, a lot of the states are complaining the president is allowed to take funds from this

particular funding, then our national guard might be affected. they are incentives regarding enforcement. they won't necessarily be where the walls are being erected. states like new york, new jersey. connecticut. the courts may look at those states and say if the walls aren't being erected in your states do you have standing? other states where the walls are being erected there might be different arguments. but that might be one critical issue. the other, has there been legislative, the adoption of legislative remedies. congress can come forward, they can thwart the national emergency. the president can reto it and if there is 2/3 vote in congress

the veto can be overriden. there are lots of challenges this particular complaint can be affected and defeated. trish: we'll be watching all of it. interesting time. breaking tonight. across store jussie smollett has been charged for allegedly filing a false report. remember when the liberal media jumped on this story even know there was no evidence to support what he alleged was a hate crime? if you ask me, a little bit more proof here. the media is wilting to tell any story that fits their anti-trump narrative. this is the all-new chevy silverado. it's beautiful. beefy and mean looking. it's the strongest, most advanced silverado ever. the cab is bigger than the last generation.

it's the first truck i've seen make you look small. but that's not all... whoo! oh my... whoa! the silverado has more cargo volume than any competitor. very impressive. now, during the chevy presidents day sales event, get 0% financing for 72 months on this all-new silverado. drive yours away this presidents day. has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today. to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best to make you everybody else... ♪ ♪

trish: "empire" actor jussie smollett has been charged for filing as false report with chicago prosecutors. he claimed he was the victim of a hate crime while walking down the street in january. here to report, stephanie hamil

and robin biro. i'll tell you, a lot of members of the media love this story and they pounced on it as fast as they could. >> my thoughts, where has common sense gone with the media and reporting. common sense should have told everybody that this story was such a wild ride that the members of "good morning america" should have done a better job vetting this story. we got an apology from good morning area * saying they had doubts about his story after it aired. how could anybody take it seriously. we do need to investigate thoroughly. maybe investigative reporters don't have enough time to do this. but this is crazy. trish: that's sad if that's the case. they have forgotten or maybe

they never knew how to do their profession. smollett's legal team released a statement saying like any other citizen poll let enjoys the presumption of innocence. we'll mount an aggressive defense. wait a second. they didn't say he's innocent. they didn't say he completely disagrees with these charges. it sounds like tight robe walking to me. >> everyone has the right to due process and we should listen to the facts as they come in. but we saw a lot of people until media not do that. we saw people in the media abandoning journalistic integrity to go after the president and anyone who supports him. we have seen video footage of the brothers buying maga hats,

black masks. it was just too convenience. the tuna sandwich in hand. the cell phone. then he went to the police department. he wasn't willing to hand over the cell phone. there were a lot of red flags. this is basic stuff they would teach in a high school journalism class. trish: you can say common sense, any human being who hears the story would ask some questions. yet the media deliberately ignored it, robin. there is a moral here for everyone watching this program? what do you need? you need to take this stuff with a grain of salt. >> definitely. i want to be careful, though. i don't want anyone taking this as the media is the enemy of the people because the story came

out of the guy stockpiling weapons to try and kill people of the media. we are all humans, we need to do better. they need to do a better job of sourcing these things before they air them. trish: "the washington post" is in hot water. they are facing a $250 million lawsuit by one of the kids they accused of some heinous stuff. the president, you know, giving the thumbs up effectively. but, you know, there should be some market forces at play here, too. so many journalists are in a rush to get some sensationalized story out there so they can get lots of clicks. these are people's lives and you better dot your is and cross your ts. >> i'm glad you brought this up. the $250 million lawsuit from

one of the maga hat teens. the media thought this fit the narrative. these kids supported the president. they are racists. all of them had to apologize. and a few weeks later we had the smollett case which we'll see more of in the media. but people aren't learning their lesson. we should have learned our lessons after kavanaugh. stop jumping to conclusions. when people talk about the media being the enemy of the people, when we see them attacking innocent teenagers for no reason, it's okay for them to lose trust in those they look up to. we had brook baldwin say this is america in 2019. then we heard from kamala harris, senator, and democratic

presidential candidate say this was a modern-day lynching right after the climb. today people are deleting tweets and trying to pretend they weren't jumping in and piling in on innocent people. trish: you know what? vladimir putin didn't need donald trump to win or hillary clinton to win. all he needed was to create this kind of chaos and distrust and we are certainly there now. 10 seconds, if you can button that up. >> absolutely. russia is all about sowing chaos and discontent. nobody in the media no matter how bad these things are, they don't deserve to die. think about all the double miles you could be earning... (loud) holy moley that's a lot of miles!!!
