night. lou: good evening, we're today watching a collision of the most powerful forces in country. make no mistake, those forces, political, economic, are working in the deepest of conflicts. that is the struggle for dominance had. dom. the battle that will decide the nation's future, what america will be if we're to be. country's establishment, big business, k-street lobbyists and wall street mogul, koch brothers and deep state, the swamp. are in public opposition to

first president in modern time strong enough to take on the vast entrenched interest of the deep state. all of whom mean to bleed america's sovereignty, religate american citizens to mere consumers and labor. all who aspire to it. president who has restored prosperity to the nation, wages are rising again and not only topped the war on our middle class, but has it growing again. president trump today added a threat of tariffs against mexico if the mexican government fails to stop its support of illegal immigration. in addition to his threat of shutting down the border all together, if mexico does not work with the united states to end the border and illegal immigration crisis. >> mexico understands that we're

going to close the border. it the drugs don't stop, mexico can stop them if they want, we'll tariff -- only thing better but less drastic than closes the border is to tariff the cars coming in i will do it just like you know i will do it. i don't play games. lou: tonight, we discuss the president's resolute commitment to secure our border, despite massive economic and political forces now arrayed again him, judicial washington' watch tom g our guests. >> "new york times" today resurrected anonymous sources, to claim that the attorne attory

general is les misleading in his summer of the mueller report. who are these meal people and wy can't they bring themselves to name them. why can they not break their bad behavior. we take up all of that with trump 2020 strategic communication director marc lotter and james freeman. >> president trump also saying today that china's theft and unfair trade practices are the results of decades of ineffective u.s. leadership. >> over the years we've lost a lot of money to china. china has done very well. i don't blame china. i say it all of the time, i blame people who sat at this desk, they should have never

allowed it to happen. lou: we have latest in china trade talks and rising red storm in western hemisphere. deputy national security adviser to president trump, kt mcfarland with us, top story. globalist forces, are in the u.s. south e southern bonder bo. all in full assault against president trump and our national sovereignty, demanding that president capitulate to their demands of open border, open migration and preserve their status quo. their status quo. the president saying his threats to shut down the border are paying off. that mexico is already paying attention. >> so, if we don't see people apprehended and brought back to

their countries. if we see the massive caravans coming up. right through mexico. like nothing. last 3 day its has not happens. lou: we're at a pivotal moment, and uncertain in our hist hist, and history is made when outcomes are far from certain. we're blessed to have a president who was made for such times. joining me tonight to take up president's bold leadership in wake of national emergency. judicial watch president tom fenton. this is an extraordinary moment, in part because all of the forces arrayed again the president are now public and publicly battling him, against the interest of national security, and the interest of the nation. and in favor of their own. your thoughts. >> you know this is a remarkable

time in a senate least the president for the first time in generation we have a president who talks senss -- sense ibly at solving border crise,s. given threat at border right now, lack of act in washington d.c. to deal with it. other than out of the white house, it shows you that left, and as you point out establishment republicans don't see this size a crisis. they see this as an opportunity. they are happy have to it go on and the system broke to again allow for open borders. and a mass amnesty for these here illegally, it is not a question of what type of security we have at border, but a question of whether we'll have an open border and a massive amnesty. you know, in my view, the president needs to take a much more aggressive fact o -- tact n

border in sense of deploying military to border to second cure our interest there, and they can mic make sure that commercial traffic that is legitimate continues to flow back and forth. they. there are another reforms that dhs can undertake they really are incapable of undertaking absence presidential direction. look, other dirty secret circumstance mexico does not control the -- mexican government does not control large swaths of his territory, border region with u.s. is not controlled by the me mexican government, it is controlled by drug cartels. president should pull the trigger, and label the cartels for what they are, foreign terrorist organizations, which allow whole host of other activity to be used against them to protect our interests. lou: the president has been

preimminent in bringing national attention to the opioid crisis,, tens of thousands of american deaths every year that result, and all those drugs, majority of methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine. fentanyl, you name it come across that border. all under, of course, the auspices of major drug cartels of mexico, which made mexico the murder capital of the world for crying out loud. >> right. lou: this president is only president in my lifetime to have said directly and fort forthrigy that the drug cartels will be defeated in this battle. >> that is right. and you know many ways, the border is not even at the border with mexico, texas and california and arizona, our border effectively is between mexico and guatemala.

that is where the battle is. that is where it needs to be stopped. and -- >> i wish it were more true, i take your point. buts that people dying in this country. those people who are living with the violence, commit by illegal immigrants are in this country. >> car at th cartels use these m guatemala and hondurus and elsewhere as a vehicle to get those drugs to the country. we have to stop the flows human trafficking and drug flows are contingent on the human trafficking operations. as our border patrol is shut down, dealing with hundreds of these so-called family units, elsewhere the drugs come in unimpeded. we have got to dem deploy the military. our civilian personnel have been

overwhelmed, history of our country with mexico is, where military ordinarily has been protects the border. lou: and talking with white house sources today, there is no doubt that a plan for more aggressive approach to turn the tide this they certainly recognize better than anyone, that is working against the national interest and against the american people. they are building that right now. >> and the attack is simultaneous, at the border of the establishment. a, lowing this to take place. then have you fight here's in washington with efforts are removed and over throw the president is enableed and continuing out of congress, in allegiance with mueller operation.

you know our republic is on the brink these days. >> it is. >> folks. >> this president is the only president i think this is correct, since you know, andrew jackson to stand up and campaign directly against a corrupt establishment a deep state, and they are fighting back with everything they have. it is in public view now. in this battle as i said at the outset. to determine the future of the nation. i want to turn to one of the most frustrating aspects with border patrol, and all responsible for border security that is the catch and release program. do you have thoughts about what can be done to fix that forthwith? >> border patrol can be enabled to consider asylum claim to speed it up, one thing that shaping at border, my understanding they just let people in, they process as

membership as possible in a day, then -- as many as possible in a day, then the system is overwhelmed, if you have so many beds or so much capacity to detain the fraudsters then you shut the border once you meet the daily limit, the asylum laws can be en forced they are not a suicide pack. the president should direct the dhs to manage the border better, dhs are doingy yeoman's work in many respects but they are unimaginative. the president needs to bring his special outlook, he is a one man show in terms of this you know being entrepreneurial and figuring out solutions, and taking advantage of a different approach that deep state and establishment even good thinking

people here in washington, cannot think through. lou: i want to turn, i have to talk to you about this "new york times" resurrects not sources this bring this -- anonymous sources to bring this business about barr misinterpreter the mueller report, i have given my reaction to time's use of anonymous sources for this spurious nonsense, your thoughts about the times reporting and if there is any substance you discertaidiscerned. >> barr blew up conspiracy of mueller people to -- they were not expecting barr to be efficient in analyzing the report, seeing. >> getting the key details out to american people. they are angry about that. they were hoping -- >> poor darlings.

>> that is right, they have thise dossier. they want to try to over throw and impeach the president, this is all the spin related to that. lou: this is appalling. >> right. lou: such dribble. it is unworthy of whatever the times onc was. and the dimms have exposed themselves for what they are, that is nasty, fis vicious even- venomous, antitrump activists. >> i want mr. mueller and mr. wise men and the rest to testify, i want to know, why once they figured out there was no russia collusion a year ago they let it hangover the president, and hold back this report to help the democrats win in november. lou: because, tom, it was their

purpose from the outset. it was after all as you know, a witch-hunt. >> tom thank you so much. >> thank you. lou: tom fitton judicial watch. >> they found no collusion, no be on vehiclbeon--no obstructio. but robert mueller's team of angry democrats can't get over their witch-hunt, the spine less anti-trumpers would not attach their name to latest attempt to slur the president, matt schlapp will join me here next, stay with us, we'll be right back. ♪ limu emu & doug what do all these people have in common, limu?

immigration to further exploit cheap labor and the list goes on. never a time it was so obvious who the forces of globalism, corporatism and the establishment were. they are not even blushing a bit. >> the thing about trump he has changed so much about our politics with his victory and platform, but the changes have not stopped, it will be years, where we'll see a lot more change. i think that change has been needed for decades and decades. i embrace it. i think that the people feel they of being listened to. lou: i hope so, this is a president not just in a lifetime, but i think in century, it is remarkable what he has to over come, now he has turned to mexico is in engaged with government of mexico. demanding straight forwardly,

they become a partner of mexico, a mature, responsible, engaged effective partner in secures the border and helping the united states end the crisis at border, including all of the illegal imfraction and cartel drug smuggling that is leads to so many deaths in this country. and in mexico. >> right, i think one thing that -- look i am a republican, as you know. lou: i heard that. >> for decades, we glossed over what was happening at the border. lou: be honest. >> worse. lou: it is far worse. we have had president who preceded this president who did nothing about mexico, they lead about who illegal immigrants were, the consequences. they averted their eyes of deaths of tens of thousands of americans every year, these presidents were presidents in name only with the issue of border security, illegal

immigration, and the war on drugs. >> i think this is what is critical happening because of president trump's leadership, people are aware of the facts and the stats, what is happening. lou: with that -- without president trump they would not know that. by the way that is a absolutely incredible demonstration of the just corruption of our national left wing media. >> yeah. lou: they snicker and snark about a war on drugs as thousands and thousands of americans die. >> die. lou: it took this president, pointing out to american people, and campaign of 2015 and 16, that the opioid crisis of devastate young americans. >> what is happening with president trump, despite 90% of the media coverage, just search and destroy a coverage of the trump and his agenda, what is happening to american people, is millions and millions of americans are listening, they are watching, they are learning,

they realize he willing to take on tough problem, and a biggest prb leproblem at the bored sneeg problem, a rino names mitch mcconnell. a lame duck speaker. his contribution through public -- i am now talking about paul ryan was 3 bills, and one of them of to name a post office. >> right. lou: what in the world is the republican party doing with such people sitting in on capitol hill, in the house, and senate? ripping their -- represents their constituents and end up represents entrenched interests. >> i think there a reason that republicans lost a majority in the house. >> it paul ryan. i'm asking what in the world is a republican party going to do? go to battle in 2020 with you know, of what number of rinos who fail to support this

president? or worse. apottieopoiseoppose the presided up in public, and basically berate the president, i made it clear to him, said the majority leader. >> i think that reasons why republicans had such a carnage is because they talked a good game. they didn't do anything on the wall, they did nothing, they passed -- passed. lou: paul ryan undercut it, he had a deal with the president, high lied, he was a fool to the end, and a fool to begin. >> two huge failings. obamacare and the wall. lou: and lack of upy i integrit. >> you are throwing hardballs today. lou: i'm sorry. >> it good. lou: i don't throw curveballs.

lou: over a thousand google employees signed a petition they protested the company's appointment of heritage foundation president to its

advisory board on artificial intelligence, saying they believe his views on immigration cocontradict's google's ethics. that seeming to the division. joining us now, marc lotter, director of strategic for trump 2020 campaign, former press secretary to vice president mike pence, this business with google is getting embarrassing. if not to the company. but the rest of america is getting kind of sick of their value structure. >> it is such a dangerous slope, they get political, cob thing to -- co one thing to have corporae beliefs and activism but you venture to politics and you discriminate people that is crossing line.

we see it all of the time, look at chick-fil-a is banned because they are closed on sundays. where do you draw the line between business and politics. lou: i think that line is narrower and fainter than it has been, it may be now just a new condition of our political economy. the mueller team, the "new york times" coming out today with this wonderful device called unname head sources and -- unnamed sources and delaying it against in effect president united states, they cannot break their direction and bad behavior toward this president, even though he is exonerated, they have basically said to all of their readers for two years, the man is a colluder that turned out to be justs preposterous at

end of the two year 30 million investigation by mueller as it was from jump street. >> apparently lying to american public efficien for two years ae russia hoax was not enough, they want to keep it going, have you sources who are being sources, that is fulfilling their nairtive, tryin -- narrative, tg to sell newspapers or get clicks, at the end was day it does not matter what they did or did not include in the report. mueller and earn attorney general came up to the same conclusion there was not enough. lou: as i said, all powerful economic forces, they are doing

so absolutely. and in front of god and everyone, they are now identified, their enemies in point of fact not only of this president, they made it clear they are against the national interest, national security, they do not want the bored nirer in place -- border in place, they oppose national security and embrace open illegal immigration. will they be a focus of trump 2020 campaign, they are the principle opposition today. >> this cans going to come down to a choice for american people, do you want to keep this strong economy going this morning announced unemployment claims lowest since 1969. going back 49 years, almost 50. the lowest ever been. or do you want to go toward socialism, they openly want to

nationalize health care industry and take away -- >> i was asking about the borders, republican and democrat it is koch brothers, it is the chamber of commerce, it corporate america it is woot itl street and k-street where the swamp stench is strong estimate will he run against them. >> absolutely, he just said the other day we need more time to drain the swamp. the candidates that stood strong next to this president, did better than those who tried to create distance. the president will continue to do job he was elected to do, fight the bureaucracy that is trying to push back against him, it might take time but he will get that swamp drained. that is what he was sent to washington to do. do. lou: marc lotter good to see you. >> thank you.

lou: up next, red storm rising in south america. more russian troops headed to venezuela. we'll look at what is being done to stop it from kt mcfarland, stay with us.

lou: headlines, m.i.t. suspending ties with chinese telecom firms huawei and zte, because of security threats. >> and the socialist government of venezuela said more russian military personnel are on their way in to the queupr country top maduro's socialist regime. it is perhaps time to for pentan

and state department to consider saying enough is enough. joining us, kt mcfarland. great to see you. >> great to see. >> let's start with what seems to be a lack of response by the united states to russia's obvious expanding interest in the arctic, all of its mineral reserves, oil reserves. >> right, i think that for last 20 years the united states has been so consumed by psycho drama in middle east and afghan war and iraq war we've taken our eye on the ball, that ball is part china and russia. it is the arctic, cyber and space based. lou: the other day, dhs official

talking about the border is on fire. border system is in meltdown. in point of fact the entire hemisphere is on fire. as i said yesterday. china and russia are engaging us almost every quarter in this hemisphere. russia and china in venezuela. but china through out the hemisphere and caribbean. >> interesting when president monroe 200 years ago there was a monroe doctrine. we said to any major world power, you don't mess in our neighborhood, you don't come to our hemisphere, john kerry, secretary of state to president obama, said that monroe doctrine does not matter, who was listening in we were not, but chinese were and russians were now they are making their move.

lou: we were listening, i recall talking with you about it on a find novembefind november whichd that. >> obama -- the obama administration has a lot to hannato --answer for. >> absolutely. lou: president talking about secures border and working with mexican government, looking at preceding governments. we can keep going, but certainly george h.wgeorge w. bush ratione present of illegal ill grant in country, doing jobs that americans won't do. it has been 16 years ofi exploitation and opportunityism by corporate established globalist interest in the country. exploits that cheap labor, this president having to to with it issue after issue where this president, he has to contend

with hemisphere on fire because his two predecessors were morannic in the policies they followed. >> not just more optic -- moronic, the solution is so easy, secure the border, reagan tried it. he said we'll give amnesty, we'll build a border, we did that amnesty we never got around to building the border. lou: democrats blocked it. >> they blocked it. >> in alliance with corporatist, globalist interests. the president he as every kind of difficulty in front of him, you work for the man. i think at-this-point you would have to say with all of those interesting against him. everyone, all these streets and koch brother to boot it looks like odds are about even.

>> he likes a good fight, he does not ever back down. lou: he has one now. >> thank you. lou: kt mcfarland. >> thank you. lou: we'll take up jobs with "wall street journal" james freeman, here next, stay with us, you don't want to miss

lou: breaking news wire we're following, city of chicago reportedly suing actor jussie smollett for cost of investigating his faked attack, asking up to $3 $90,000. that law the -- 3 $90,000, after they dropped case again jussie smollett and police union also prepared to sue smollett. they are offended as they should be. maybe a national class action suit as well for offense. a nation of daffodils we've become. lou: on wall street stocks closing mixed. volume just under 3 billion shares. lowest volume so far this year. crude oil closing flat. gold, sil silver also flat, a

federal judge awarding tesla ceo musk a brief reprieve in his court hearing, giving them two weeks to settle his dispute over his controversial tweets about the company's outlook in february. >> and a reminder to listen to my reports three times a day, coast-to-coast on salem radio network. lou: "wall street journal" criticizing radical dimms and their desperate effort to keep the mueller witch-hunt alive. called trolling the mueller report. joining us, james freeman. fox business contributor, and great american. >> thank you. lou: good to see you. >> good to be here. lou: live idea of "new york times" coming up with unname heaunnamedsources.

>> you would thought they might have learned something. >> are they giving back the pulitzer. >> they ought to. the committee deserves criticism, you read the citation it talks about russian interference effort and its ties to trump campaign and trump transition team and trump administration. not alleged ties. did not say ties that we believe exist. lou: i suppose that pull i pulir will say it was some copy editors fault. fault of us for putting up with such nonsense. >> i just wish there was a sort of a moment where people in the press who chase that story and push this story so hard would step back and say, okay what did

we do wrong. you would think part of that inquiry would be maybe relies on anonymous sources and not confirming the information was a mistake. you look at this latest report, what is it? this is hard to identify any new facts in there. lou: i could not discern any facts. >> yeah. lou: let alone new or, it is preposterous reporting in my opinion. but it is not outside what has been the lane chosen. we'll call it journalistic lane chosen they are what president said, a campaign of fake news, an anti-trump campaign that persisted through out his candidacy and presidency to this point. even as he accomplishes, he has deputdone more in two years, the louts continue to attack him as

if you know every allegation against him was true. >> i think that eventually they will come to regret lining up with the resistance and becoming partisan actors. >> you say regret it they are part and parcel of that. they are anti-trump in -- their corporate mast ire ir masters aw will we recognize this regret. >> we still looking for it. it has not shown up yet, i don't are an answer to that. lou: i can't imagine what they would do, it would mean they would go out of business if they acknowledge their venal base of motivation. >> i think that is the question, eventually someone else will be president, and you know at that point is there a business

reckoning. judging by the job report, we got today, the national federation of independent business, i would say, might be their for a while. lou: it is amazing, national left wing media does not want to credit this president for the record jobs, record employment levels. the benefits to all americans as he promised he said he would prestore prosperity for all americans, he has done that. he has with one exception done everything he promised that is getting the border secured. >> i did not agree with some, but i am he deserves a lot of credit for being so faithful to the agenda he promised in 2016. lou: being so right, about

interests for crying out loud, the man takes on federal reserve, and wall street clucks about "the independents" of the fed -- independences of fed then they realize they have been wrong as hell too for 3 months and they have to acknowledge that. they did, they had to be dragged, kicking and screaming to that apology. >> i think that fed deserves criticism when you look at history. but but i think that job market revival -- >> you mean history when president trump was not president? >> and when he is. a long sad history. lou: it is. not getting better. better than it was for last quarter. >> right, i like po powell, i tk i like him more than president does. amazing. lou: we'll expect a journal editor yeah, theditorial page tn that, give credit to president.

>> we'll do your best. lou: james freedom man. freeman. lou: up next. we'll have latesto president's effort to keep america safe.

lou: president trump says the threat to shut down the border is still in effect. he's also prepared to sideline the usmca trade deal by imposing new tariffs against mexico if it doesn't work with the united states in ending the border crisis. >> if in a year from now, drugs continue to pour in, we're going to put tariffs up. now, we have a deal. usmca, it's all done. they're going to have to live with it, okay? they're going have to live with it. i'm not trying to be unfair. they're going to have to live with it. the usmca is a great deal for everybody. but this is more important to me than the usmca.

lou: and that is it for us tonight. thank you for being with us. tomorrow night, general jack keane, pastor robert jaffers among our guests. please be with us. good night from new york. >> here are your market movers. president trump heads to the southern border today after a successful round of trade talks at the white house last night. more signs of eight u.s. china trade deal with the president saying he should note shortly if he should reach an agreement with china. >> the biggest divorce deal in history them is on jeff baeza's divorce is in the books. amazon alexa may become your personal dr. how the system can information from your mouth -- most sensitive
