materiatomorrow night on the shw carter page is here. katy pavlich, chris bedford, so much intelligence, i already feel like a dumb, dumb, good night. lou: good eve -. good evening. president trump is tired of congressional failure securing the border. he maintains he will shut it down if nothing is down. bold decision garnering support of those who know the voter enforcement issue the best. >> it sends the right message. it lets mexico no if they don't do something, if they don't play their part then we're going to stunt their economy. >> that's what makes this president such a great president. he's going to secure this nation and protect american people. how many american citizens have

died at if hands of criminal aliens. 70,000 overdose deaths last year. this president is going to act and i think he's doing the right thing. gregg: tonight we take up this issue in the president's boldness. congressman andy bigs joins us tonight. and the radical dimms stopping at nothing to keep the failed russian hoax alive. jerry had her trying to get subpoenas. this demand coming from the same dimms who were whining and crying when the republicans wanted the release of the unredacted fisa documents at the heart of the mueller probe. so to night we take up the latest effort of the radical left to keep the russian collusion delusion alive notwithstanding the president's vindication. the washington's examiner byron

york, tom fitton among our guests. and hey, some trouble brewing for joe biden, the former vice president and prospective front running 2020 dem, under fire for alleged misconduct with lucy flores. she says biden has a track record of inappropriate behavior. >> this isn't the first time and it wasn't the only incident where he was acting inappropriately with women. it's completely inappropriate, but it does not belong in any kind of a professional setting, much less in politicance that's something that we should consider when we're talking about the background of a person who is considering running for president. gregg: we will take up the reaction to these claims and what that' that means for the democrats going forward. michael goodwin joins us tonight. we begin with the top story tonight. president trump is calling on congress to do more to fix the

crisis at the border. he tweeted this, democrats working with republicans in congress can fix the asylum and other loopholes quickly. we have a major national emergency on the border. get it down now. for more on the latest of the president's efforts to desewer the border once and forall, we turn to chief white house correspondent john roberts. >> administration officials tell fox news president trump is sirius about closing the border and that he could do it as early as this week unless something dramatic changes. >> why are we talking about closing the worder? we need the people to go out and patrol in the deserty we don't have a wall. we hate to say we told you so, but, we told you so. >> in a statement that morning kirstjen nielsen said as many as 750 customs and border protections officers would be immediately reallocated to border patrol dutieses, adding that number may top 2,000 in the coming weeks.

she ordered dbp to send hundreds of people back to mexico every day to wait out their asylum claims. >> president trump is working to set the conditions so we can keep our county safe, secure and sovereign. >> in an attempt to put pr esh e on countries, president trump plans to cut off aid to honduras, gaw guatemala and el salvador. this drew howls from democrats. >> these countries are disassembling before our eyes and people are desperately coming to the united states. the president cutting off aid to their country will not solve their problem. >> dhs says illegal immigration is at a 12-year high. democrats maintain there is no crisis on the border, that the president is making it up. while they disagree on the approach, they seem to be changing their tune. >> here's the story.

you have a terrible humanitarian crisis. >> administration sources say there are hopeful signs for mexico. the mexican government told the u.s. it will put up more check points in the narrow part of southern mexico. anyone who crosses that area without paper to enter the united states will be deported. but the white house says it's only a start. >> the collusion delusion. >> the white house is also preparing for a fight over the mueller report. house judiciary chairman jerry nadler wants a vote on wednesday issuing so pooh thats for the report. in a statement saying, congress requires the full and complete special counsel report without redactions as well as access to the underlying evidence. president trump tweeting his thoughts on the move this morning saying, no matter what information is given to the crazed democrats from the no collusion mueller report, it will never be good enough. the department of justice today had no board on how it might

respond to congressional subpoenas. the attorney general continue to work with the special counsel robert mueller to determine how much of the mueller report can legally be released to congress and the public. gregg: radical dimms remain unsatisfied with robert mueller's conclusion of no collusion and they're ramping up narrative tefforts to keep theie alive. kat lynn hecatherine herridge he latest. >> this sets up a snowdown with the house democrats. jerry nadler and dianne feinstein insist on seein seeine full report and underlying evidence this week. attorney general william barr's letter late friday that the redacted mueller report will be delivered sometime in the next two weeks with a testimony to follow in early may due a quick

and sharp response from nadler who called on the attorney general to work with him to release grand jury information. but as you know under the law and regulations, grand jury material cannot be shared publicly and it goes against long standing department of justice policy not to identify individuals who are not prosecuted. in the meantime some republicans want the records for different reasons. >> i was the first member of congress to say we not only need the mueller report, which is actually called the mueller dossier because it i think it's written b bipartisans. but i'm interested in learning how did mueller's team create the report. i want to see the underlying information. >> among them former fbi agent peter strzok removed from the mueller probe after his anti-trump texts were discovered. gregg: katherine, thanks. the anger over the handling of jussie smollett's hate crime hoax continued to chicago today. two competing protests meeting

face to face. matt finn has the latest tonig tonight. >> dem sphrairts getting in each other's faces outof cook county state's attorneys kim forks' office. foxx's office. they're protesting for a history of antipolice and demanding that she resign. jesse jackson led his group of counter protesters into the middle of the police dem demonstration. jackson said the conclusion that smollett committed a hoax is not true. >.foxx supporters saying she's reforming criminal justice. kim foxx continues to defend her office's decision to drop smollett's case writing in the chicago tribune, since it's

expedient to question my motives and actions and those of my office, i welcome an outside nonpolitical review of how we handle this matter. the police union fired back writing the cbp concluded that mr. smollett faked a hate crime and it's ms. foxx's duty to do so. she refused to do so. over the weekend smollett was nominated but lost in the best supporting actor category. he did not attend the awards but that didn't stop comedian chris rock from poking fun at smollett. >> what the hell was he thinking? >> and today former illinois apell yait judge sheila o'brien wrote in an op-ed that she's going to petition the courts to assign a prosecutor to investigate kim foxx. gregg: matt, thanks very much. the incompetent and ineffective leadership in the department of homeland security is releasing thousands of illegal immigrants right onto the streets of america.

to prevent donald trump from winning again in 2020 that their agenda is about to get a whole lot more radical. senator brian shafts, new guy, set to introduce a constitutional amendment to abolish the electoral college. that's right. the radical amendment is an amendment supported by presidential candidate kristen gillibrand, dick durbin, dianne feinstein has been there since moses brought the tablets down. former vice president joe biden's potential 2020 campaign off to a very rocky start before it even officially began. former nevada democratic assembly woman lucy flores accusing biden of making her feel uneasy, gross and confused at a campaign event in 2014. biden spokesperson defending the boss' behavior and calling the accusations smears and forgeries propagated by the right-wing

trolls. you got to love that. later today a second woman from connecticut came forward accusing biden of touching her inappropriately at a 2009 fundraiser. i'm sure he's a republican troll as well. joining me now, former reagan white house political director, fox business political analyst ed rollins and fox business contributor michael goodwin. good to see you, gentlemen. is biden on his way to the nomination or is he toast, ed? >> a long ways to go. my sense is he's taking false steps getting in before and he's stumbled a little bit here on his potential candidacy. i don't know whether it's good bad or indifferent but there's no campaign to defend him. i've never known him of inappropriate behavior. he's bun inappropriate in his language and there's a lot in his record that people are going to go after.

i don't think it's a walk in the park. anyone who has been as well known as he is, sitting at 27% in the polls is not a shoe in in any way, shape or form. gregg: bide season a walking wittalking gaffe machine going k to 1988. >> look. i have never been a big fan of joe biden nor have i understood this sense of acclamation that he would be a good candidate. he's tried in the past, failed. 1% joe i think is a nickname donald trump has given him. and i just think that given his age, he's now apologized twice over the chancer thomas hearing. he apologized for white man's privilege and now this. i don't think it's a question of whether he's toast. i think he's burned toast. there's in way -- i have never

actually believed he would get in the race and now i'm fairly certain he will not. gregg: really. you don't think he's going to do it? >> i think he's starting out in a hole. 28%, you have 100% name recognition. why isn't it higher if you're so overwhelming. gregg: you heard it here first from michael goodwin. further toast in the garbage. let me switch to the mueller report. democrats seem to be in denial over this whole thing. and they continue to push the nair tiff that there must be collusion. mueller just kind of missed it. >> they spent two years and certainly were a part of the process in the house and the senate. may not have had the house at that point in time but they said anytime the hearings and what have you. they know every witness, everything that's there. i think what mueller has done is an effective job and the bottom line here is they're not entitled -- this is not the old independent counsel. this is a report to the attorney

general. the attorney general basically can give them what he wants or give them not what he wants. and my sense is that they're not going to let go. they're like a dog with a bone. and i think the reality is there's no evidence anywhere that the president has done anything. certainly no evidence of him colluding. so now they move to obstruction of justy. justice. gregg: it's nadler and the guy that the president dubbed pencil neck, adam shich. that'schiff.these guys continuee collusion. is that going to backfire politically? >> it is hard to figure out what they're up to. part of me says that they really are this crazy. another part of me says that they have nothing else to talk about and so this is their fig leaf were no for not having a pm for a party ap and the third thing, is this about fund-raising? is this their way of sending out

fund-raising were we're fighting for you. send us $5. there doesn't seem to be inherent logic to what they're doing. >> it's a fatigue factor. i think the country is tired of investigations. this has gone on a and on. give the president two more years to govern and then if you want to run against him if you can find a choice out of the cast of thousands that are going to run, go at it. if they think people are going to watch hearings for the next year, they're crazy. gregg: michael you say they don't have anything else to talk about. that's not true with the new senator brian shatz. he's introduced a constitution amendment or about to abolish the electoral college. my lord, that is such a long and laborious process. i'll be in a nursing home by the time that reaches the legislature. >> green new deal, medicare for all.

what candidate is going to go to the american public in the fall of 2020 with that platform. it's got to be that donald trump is no good. how do you make that case when the economy is rooring. roaring if we're still at peace hopefully. there's no easy program, no easy approach to take on trump. this to me strikes me as just the kind of worst one of all. gregg: you know what democrats always offer is free everything. free health care, free education, free income if you don't want to work. you know, a chicken in every pot, a car in every driveway. it's the old stuff. >> not for u.s. taxpayers. it's a whole redrik redistributf wealth. >.trump won 30 states. i can't get more states to trump's column at this stage but i can't see any less either. i think they can't get to 230.

-- or 270. let's abolish the electoral -- it's not going to happen. not just your lifetime but my daughter's lifetime and 14 generations to come. gregg: young people don't get the concept that nothing is actually free, that it actually has to be paid for. but the correlation doesn't seem to dawn on them. >> look, i think young people we have to divide them between those who are more self supporting and those who are being co coddled by their helicopter parents. i think the ones who work, the ones who understand the price of things, the cost of things, those are the people who understand what capitalism is good for. those who are still having mommy and daddy pay their bills i think are the ones who don't understand how the economy really works. and they are, in a way, you know, being carried into adulthood as if they're still children. gregg: if parents would say once the kids get out of school you're on your own and they get

that first paycheck and go to their parents, can you explain this paycheck? >> what is this fik fica thing. the other part, don't forget. the electoral college, all of the rest, 16-year-olders vote too. gregg: let's lower it. if you can finger paint, you get to vote. that's nancy pelosi's new thing. great to see you guys. coming up, the department of homeland security is under fire for releasing illegal immigrants on the streets of american cities. congressman andy biggs here. he wants answers. next. allergies with sinus congestion and pressure? you won't find relief here.

democrats want to do our new and very important census report without all of the important citizenship information? a report would be meaningless and a waste of billions, ridiculous that it cost to put together. united states now home to 18% of the world's migrant population. a new pugh research study center revealing 44 million people in the u.s. are foreign born were more than germany, russia, the uk and france combined. think about this. joining me now, congressman andy bition of arizona, cochair of the border security conference. he also is a member of the house freedom caucus. i read your letter today to secretary nielsen. but explain just how dire the situation is. the thousands of illegals that are crossing into places like --

and going to places like mesa and tucson and how they're being let go. >> yeah. gregg, you know, there are so many people coming in. we have the decisions and rules and laws that prevent our people from detaining them. and even if we could our facilities are overruin. i.c.e. has been letting them lose and now the border patrol. literally thousands are being released into the streets of phoenix and in the suburbs so that the churches and community organizations that have been helping facilitate these refugee applicants, they're overrun. we can't handle it anymore. that's hug how dire it. e wer ooh 30 days away from a 100-degree temperature in arizona. if you're not used to 100-degree temperature and you're coming and going to be out there without resources, it becomes a

humanitarian crisis. gregg: i was in fee in addition a few weeks ago and i was getting a little hot under the collar but that was because of politics. i want to play a sound bite from jeh johnson, president obama's homeland security secretary. take a listen. >> right now we have a crisis at the southern border. according to the commissioner of cbp, there were 4,000 apprehensions in one day alone this past week and we're on pace for 100,000 apprehensions on owrp southern border this month. gregg: and yet pelosi says what crisis? >> yeah, while we're trying to handle it, we're facing the crisis in states like arizona, these people say there is no problem, there is no crisis. and these ones scratching my

head. in any other country in the world would you see over a million people illegally enter the country that will not be apprehended. we're going to apprehend a million, million and a half. but there will be another million, million and a half that we don't apprehend. here in coning w congress we cat the democrats and we couldn't get some republicans to come off last session. shame on us republicans. but i tell you what. we have to do something along the border. there are other avenues that we can take and the president is trying to get there. i hope secretary nielsen is trying to get there as well. gregg: i must is ask yo ask youe mueller report. jerry nadler now demanding that the full report, including classified information all be presentedded in unredacted -- it's pre pretty ironic because nadler and other democrats were

fuming when devin nunes authorized classified information be released. >> it's full circle. devin was trying to get transparency and they castigated him. now they claim they need full disclosure. you have information that wint t to other snfs da investigative s and then you have classified information that certain democrats and house intel committee were leaking to the media. and trey gowdy said, you're going to see intelligence agencies withhold information from congress because we've proven that we're untrustrust wy 37 butrustworthy.but the hypocrl just to be sitting here listening to what i hear. i can't wait for julian assange

to come in. that's going to be fun. gregg: if you look up the word hypocrisy in the dictio diction, it's got a picture of jerry nadler and adam schiff. now they want everything that mueller wrote. i can't think of two more hypocritical characters in congress and that's saying a lot. you're an honest guy. andy biggs, thanks for being with us. coming up next, radical dimms demanding the full release of the mueller report could be in for a rude awakening. we'll take up the congressional subpoena threat with you dish watch president tom -we're doing karaoke later, and you're gonna sing. -jamie, this is your house? -i know, it's not much, but it's home. right, kids? -kids? -papa, papa! -[ laughs ] -you didn't tell me your friends were coming. -oh, yeah. -this one is tiny like a child. -yeah, she is. oh, but seriously, it's good to be surrounded

gregg: joining me, judicial watch president tom fitton. unindicted individuals, secret grand jury testimony, as well as classified information. i'm not sure there's a strong legal basis for nadler and company to be demanding the full unredacted mueller report, but this will end up being a multiyear litigation, won't it? >> yeah. it's a fake fight that the democrats want to engage in to distract from the destruction of their party's dossier. the democrats on the hill are conflicted. it's their political party that created the evidence that mueller is now wanting. and so now keep on fighting over that when they can fight over the subpoenaing of the mueller report. and a subpoena isn't a magic document, as you know, gregg. you've got to go to court to get it ens forced and the courts are

skeptical of subpoenas that request grand jury material. and attorney general barr is likely to release all of it so there's not going to be much to fight about it but they want to pretend to fight. if they issue a subpoena, it's going to slow the release of information. and i guarantee you that if a subpoena fight ensues, groups like judicial watch will be able to get the material quicker under the freedom of information act than even congress would. this is gamesmanship by the democrats who want to distract if their involvement in this vicious conspiracy to overthrow the president. it's that straightforward. gregg: now it's a game of semantics. the mainstream media as well as democrats who for some long were howling criminal collusion are now saying well we really didn't mean criminal collusion. we just meet the colloquial layperson's definition of collusion which is not necessarily criminal and there was plenty of that, they claim.

>> well, you know, they want to run away from the idea of criminal collusion because you have a strong argument that's what was going on with peter strzok and overs wh others who e colluding with outside parties like gps. so there's a self interest in running away from the term criminal collusion. and you know, getting back to this idea about transparency, of course it's selected transparency. they want to focus on the mueller report which they hope has experience o smears on it bt want transparency on the fie so warrantance the underlying corruption behind the mueller operation. and you know, this is where groups like judicial watch has got to do the heavy lifting and suing in court to get the information. gregg: and you always have. >> congress is not the vehicle to get information about government corruption. we kind of know that already.

and president trump should go on a transparency tear. he shouldn't have to wait for lawsuits and requests. he should direct his agencies to release it all and it would be very hard for any honest person to disagree with that. gregg: you know what's great about their demands for transparency is now that just opens the door for the president to release those five groups of classified documents that he has been holding which will totally blow the lid off of and expose the corruption among people at the fbi and the department of justice. >> well that's exactly right. you've got the additional material in the fie so warrant applications that he hasn't released yet, you have the interviews with bruce ohr. we don't know what mueller was authorized to investigate because they've been keeping that document written months after the fact secret in large measure from the american people. we sued in court the other day

over the leaks allegedly between clapper and brennon and cnn. just imagine if the doj and the fbi were forced to release that type of material, or the cia. this has got the to be an all hands on deck move by the mt. the next cabinet meeting he has, this ought to be priority one. gregg: dimms you want everything released. great. i'm going to release all of this other stuff that will demonstrate that the law enforcers became the lawbreakers at the fbi and the department of justice under president obama. i want to ask you about these calls for adam schiff, chairman of the intelligence committee and you know, that's an oxymoron with him, to resign. what do you bhaik of that? is that going to go anywhere? he certainly lost any moral authority to be head of that committee. >> he ought to step down as chairman of the intelligence

committee. that's what happened to devin nunes. we filed a complaint against schiff over his improper disclosure of classified information as part of his oaforeffort to destroy donald t. it was a substantial complaint which the democrats have suppressed. as far as we know he can't be trusted to be classified information. we're under no obligation -- the agencies are under no obligation to provide classified information to adam schiff just because she's head of the intelligence committee. if he's someone that can't be trusted, they should freeze him out. gregg: i think americans are beginning to realize that adam schiff is nothing but a phony who would walk a mile for a camera and loves toe advance. >> this is where we need the transparency on congress. president trump should reevaluate whether or not the executive blanch can provide transparency over congress as

well and demand answers over congressional involvement in this effort to throughout r overthrow the president. gregg: read where schiff make as fool of himself time and time again. i don't know how he manages to think with that brain of his. there you have it. tom fitton, thanks very much. coming up next, apple dethroned as the world's most profitable company. we're going to tell you who kicked them off of the top spot. kicked them off of the top spot. plus for fallout 2,000 fence posts. 900 acres. 48 bales.

and a reminder, listen to lou's report three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. joining me now, byron york, chief political correspondent for the washington examiner and a fox business contributor. and his columns are always must read. thanks very much. i want to put up a tweet that the president sent out about the mueller report. here it is. no matter what information is given to the crazed dimms from the no collusion mueller report, it will never be good enough. is that a valid point, that they will never really accept its conclusion of no collusion? >> well, certainly they want to get every single sentence, every punctuation mark in the whole thing. and you're right, at that point there fill is nothing they can use to allege collusion, yeah, they'll still be unhappy. i'm one of the people that thinks that the whole report

should be released. and the thing that's mysterious to me is why the report was not prepared with release in mind on the day that it was announced that it was completed. why we're having this period where they're going through these things that they kowmentdd have gone through announcing it was firnished. finished.i don't understand. gregg: mueller well knows the law about grand jury testimony, unindicted individuals and classified material. so i mean i think that's a valid point. i did read i think it's your most recent column in which you quote dowd as saying -- president trump's lawyer, saying he was told by mueller in march of last year that they didn't have any evidence of collusion. expand on that, if you will. as i read it, it's like, wow were fb ,for a year mueller haso

collusion? >> mueller was reported in may of 2017. dowd told me that by christmas of that year, 2017, dowd had all of the evidence, he talked to the people at the white house, he -- excuse me, mueller had all of that evidence and had talked to everybody. and dowd felt that mueller had had enough information to decide that there had been no collusion. they had this meeting that's kind of co contentious in march 2018 in which dowd is urging mueller to get on with it, you've got everything, make a decision and close up. mueller was saying i've got to talk to if president. dowd saying we give you everything, we've given you the confidential notes of conversations. there's nothing more you can get from talking to the president. and then mueller said well i might have to subpoena him and that's when things got rough and dowd basically said you do that,

you're going to have a war and you're not going to win. things went downhill in terms of their relationship after that. gregg: but it's truly amazing that in other words america had to endure yet another year of the collusion investigation when mueller well knew that there was no evidence of collusion. i want to turn, if i may, to this debate over classified information. nancy pelosi, in february of 2018, so more than a year ago, a year and a couple l of months with, said this when the president released some classified information. president trump had surrendered his constitutional responsibility as command ner chief by releasing highly classified and distorted intelligence. so wait a minute. now she wants the attorney general to release classified information? >> i know. well there's two types, big types of material in this report that you have to go through hoops to release.

one is the grand jury stuff that we were talking about. which by the way, if the justice department goes to a judge, they can get permission to release it. that's what happened in the starrs report. and the other thing is classified information. i really have two minds about that. some of that stuff undoubtedly is overclassified. i'm sure there's stuff that's classified that doesn't need to be because you're right, that's always the case. if there is some stuff that mueller and the justice department can make a genuine case that it would endanger some important american national priority, that could be redacted. but i'm not buying the idea that everything is classified in there has to stay classified forever. gregg: if the doj or the fbi orders chinese takeout it's classified you know because it's the chinese. >> remember the stuff that devin nunes was trying to get out of the justice department and he had put together a report about how the fie so warrant was prepared and some of the dossier

stuff. and the justice department said the world will end and people will die if this is revealed. the president declassified it and neither one of those things happened. gregg: the et did not stop spinning on its axis. we did not all fall into the sun. amazing. by yon workbyron york, thank yog us. up next, president trump threatening to close the border if mexico cannot stop the flow of illegal immigrants into our count friday. we'll hav anna, do you have those plans? yes! i just wanted to show you something i've been wor... ♪ james r. and associates. anna speaking... ♪ james r. and associates. anna. ♪ [phone ringing] baker architects. this is anna baker. at northwestern mutual, this is what our version of financial planning looks like. tomorrow is important, but you're ready to bet on yourself today. find an advisor at northwesternmutual.com.

the country that will not be apprehended so we're going to apprehend about a million, million and a half, but there will be another million to a million and a half we won't apprehend. there's no other place in the world that doesn't say hey, that's an invasion, hey, that's a national security issue. gregg: don't let apprehend fool you because they released most of them. the house judiciary committee expected to authorize a subpoena wednesday to obtain the full unredacted mueller report from the attorney general, william barr. good luck with that. here's a look at the u.s. national debt. $22.1 trillion and climbing, which is almost as much as jeff bezos' bank account. not quite. that's it for tonight. lou will be back tomorrow. former acting i.c.e. director tom homans will be his guest along with texas lieutenant governor dan patrick and republican strategist amy tartanian. follow lou on twitter, like him
