illegal immigrants. >> by any measure 4,000 arrests in a day, 100,000 in a month. that is the population of albany, new york. that shows up in our southern border in one month, is a crises. >> president's bold actions on border security need to be carried through by those on the ground. former border patrol chief mark morgan' join us. >> and radica radical dimms reen disarray as the president continues to win. leftest presenting to be shocked by attorney general barr testimony before congress where he said spy going occur. reported first by president himself.

but they are surprised today. president trump slamming the political assault again him as a candidate and as president. from the very beginning. >> this is dirty politics, this is actually treason. a very bad thing that people have done. i just hope that law enforcement take its up. lou: radical dimms behind the spying should be nervous as well as those that department of justice and fbi yell barr now lead -- william barr now leadi leading. we'll find out what daily caller christopher bedford thinks of this. >> big problems for big tech. republican senator taking social media executives to task for shadow banning, more conservative voices, google the primary focus. diamond and silk. once deemed unsafe by facebook

they the know the power will silicon valley they will join us. >> border apprehension rising last month president said as many as a million illegal immigrants would likely be apprehended this year, according to princeton policy advise oar t has raise risen to highway higher than a month ago. >> last year of the clinton administration. despite surge and inability of border patrol to handle crisis there are those who still' illegal immigration to go on, unimpeded. >> if we don't get this right, in 20 or 30 years, united states will be begging for immigrants to come and make a vibrant

workforce. >> many jobs that require hard working and sweating away in august in texas, americans won't want to do them, but others who will. so for the economic vie talty of our country -- vi vitality we should have ain rational worker program. lou: joining us, mark morgan. former u.s. border patrol chief under president obama, mark good to see you. we put up castro and bush for folks to see what is going on, talking points, this is a campaign. likely orchestrated bayousial suspects, the business round table, koch brothers, chamber of brothers, wall street and k-street, your reaction in listening to a former president say those things, in the midst of what is a national emergency. >> well, i would like to say

that america actually is the most generous country on the planet for immigration, i believe numbers last year we let a million people legally into this country. let's start with that. so on that premise. we are doing better than any other country on that fact alone. we're talking about is illegal immigration, and abuse and exploiting of our law and generosity. lou: yes, and to your point. there are no 3 country in world who combined bridge i in -- brig in as many new immigrants in and naturalize them as citizens, that is not happening anywhere else. and to hear that clap trap we heard now for 20 years, usually under the auspices and encouragement of la raza, a number of organizations, activist organizations, and now

the radical democratic party it is stunning, and the president has put before that same democratic party, proposition that would have led to resolving the immigration systems, many problems. would have assured border security. simply putting money forward on the wall. he cannot move the democratic party to even remotely consider the national interest. >> that is right. what i have been saying, american people need to understand, actually, crisis we're facing right now is worse in our history, in the 90s. we removed 90% of them, they were mexico adult males this year, because of a broken law and 65 to sens 70s% are family e

allowing thepg into the united allowings them into united states, we know that 85% of them are filing false claims, how is that not a crisis. lou: this business that left made kirstjen nielsen you know. target of choice, attacking her viciously. wantinger to had be one wag put it a pariah forever, keeping her from. a-- from employment because she was part of trump administration trying to secure the border. your reaction to that, in 2014 we've seen what happened with 16,000 unaccompanied minors at border,. the same for those children as they experience during a less than a 2 machin 2 month period f so-called zero tolerance with this administration. the hypocrisy, the viciousness,

the venomous politics of personal destruction on the left i think will backfire on this democratic party. i don't think there is a single candidate among their democratic hopeful for president in 2020 who stands a slightest chance. >> lou, first, anybody who steps to breach to be secretary of dhs will have my respect that is a massive department with massive responsibility. it not just about border security, it is coast guard, tsa, people -- >> too were, that department was a mistakes from the moment it was formed bringing 22 agencies together. with many conflicting admissions and dub -- duplicate admissions it is a nightmare, i think that part of his motivation in reforming it.

>> funny. when dhs of created, i was in mix of that. i said the same thing, the department is so big, and such a massive responsibility are in the secretary. so, but having said that, look, we have got an opportunity here to jump-start stuff, i think what is key, i've been asked, what would i do going forward? first thing, we need to change mind set, i think they started to too, that we have to stop pretending that congress will be part of collusion, we need to -- part of was solution we need to stop. theority reality is congress is not part of the solution. lou: and this president is doing that. i think kevin mccarthy. >> he is getting shot down. >> they keep trying. but he is moving straight ahead.

trying to change what must be changed, in that department of homeland security. whether citizenship or immigration services. where it is border patrol itself. their mission. and certainly dealing with the issue of refugee status, which is a disaster. this president inherited it from obama administration obama obama administration. i do think that this is a moment where we'll see once again border security asserted. i agree, 100%, i think this is wonderful that president recognizes this left is no part of this country national interest, kevin mccarthy, i have to say mark. he turned to nancy pelosi today and said, simply, what have you and your party accomplished in 100 days for the country?

no answer, mark. >> agreed. we have to do is, stop pretends that government of mexico will be parts of solution, and or congress will be a part, i'm not saying we stop working with them, they are long-term solutions. i am not counting on them for immediate fix. we have to take that swift action, otherwise next month we get 150,000 people here abusing our system. we cannot rely on congress, we have to take action. lou: absolutely. mark morgan, thank you so much. >> you bet. lou: up next. radical congresswomen rashida talib and alexandria ocasio-cortez defending ilhan omars, insulting, bigoted comments. >> care was founded after 9/11.

technology. and google is opened an artificial intelligence lab in beijing in 2017. what is going on here? joining us to explore that question. fred fleitz. president of center for security policy, good to see you, fred, with everything that google, all stunts actuals -- pulled with beijing. microsoft this sounds like a very sinister and deeply troubling. >> it is troubling. this is another example of a u.s. company putting their bottom line ahead of u.s. national security. there has to be consequence, microsoft sells billionings bils of technology equipment to u.s. government, easy to say we'll cut you off, i think congress has to get involved. >> what should the administration do?

>> the u.s. government buys a lot of microsoft equipment, they should call in microsoft executives tell them, you are helping chinese military and equipment used for censorship, this is unacceptable. lou: national left wing media, is basically bereft of interest in this subject, they should be covering it. so should business press, your sense about why there is not more of an alarm sounded in this country, is this collaboration as -- as this collaboration takes place. >> strange that mainstream media does not see the threat to china poses, the threat is dire, it growing. i think they are too busy attacking president trump and dowdownplaying real threats of country.

lou: too busy chases witch hundredwitch-hunthoax. >> you are right. they are not focusing on the real threats but i am sure president trump will. lou: to chinese companies, huawei, zte, they insinuate themselves to 5 g systems and networks throughout europe. despite warnings froms united states, zte is distributing selling equipment in venezuela, other south american countries for the very specific purpose of surveillance of citizenry. this is all happening without it seems response by the united states. >> it seem that china is doubling down on its bet with venezuela, venezuela oweses china 50 to 80 billion dollars.

lou: billion? >> billion. a lot was going to be repaid in oil over decades. venezuela government sold their oil reserves to china for large loans that krupp corrupt -- corrupt regime use to win the campaign. i think there has to be international pressure on china to cease this type. lou: coalitions of willing, it is time for this country to start taking on the issues in this hemisphere, certainly with organization for american states but beyond that, straight forwardly to deal in u.s. interest because, it seems there can be no equivocation, no mistake that the united states will act in its own interest and that of hemisphere some any

foreign power moves again us. >> i agree. by we have put together an international coalition against the maduro regime, we should say to our european ally, china has crossed a line in providing surveillance equipment to allow venezuela government to crackdown even more on the venezuela people, there should could real consequences for this. lou: fre-- fred fleitz. >> thank you. >> up next, radical dimms, left wing national media seem to be stunned by straight forward use of the english language. as we watched attorney general william barr say straight forward believe there was indeed spying, spying. >> chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rail. >> it feels like we -- basically the attorney general, gas lit

the country about when barr opens his mous mouth president s come popping out. >> i thought it was stunning and scary. lou: if your jame is james clapper, you should be scared and concerned. >> christopher bedford will join us next, stay with us we'll be i switched to liberty mutual, because they let me customize my insurance. and as a fitness junkie, i customize everything, like my bike, and my calves. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i'm begging you... take gas-x.ed beneath the duvet your tossing and turning isn't restlessness, it's gas! gas-x relieves pressure, bloating and discomfort... fast! so we can all sleep easier tonight.

economy. >> a new rasmussen poll reveals 21% of likely voters in favor the taxpayer backed reparations for those affected by slavery or descendents of slavery, 66 of% of those rejected the idea of reparation. this is is not stopping the 2020 hopefuls of radical dimms, 9 of those candidate so far support reparations. >> just moments ago, spacex launching its falcon heavy rocket to space from kennedy stacspace have in florida.

country throughout history, reparations are a funny thing, once you start you better be comprehensive, those men and women deserve much. >> turn to if we may, the radical dimms running. on not just reparations but on socialism, they are fighting each other tooth and nail to come up with newest come commodity service to millions of american for nothing, at some point do you believe that republicans have to take note of fact that these fools are headed to a very large intellectual clip cliff. >> i think that country in large should be worried about the direction of the democratic party, president donald trump tapped into a growing sense of an oranger and frustration, peoe feeling left out, it has not gone away, this country could still potentially stak take enoh turn if there is enough anger in

economists and populism. there is a lot of room for danger when major american party plays with ideas -- >> i think that perhaps, acknowledge more concern might find some president, given that this economy is booming as no economy has, since frankly in modern times, we have 3% economic growth, we have the lowest unemployment rate in more than a half century. we have lowest unemployment rate for minorities in our history. this is a time to celebrate what is the trump booming economy. i would say right now that president, if it is the economy stupid. back in 1992. this president has it hands down. >> he should have it hands down,

if not for the a grows sense of rage on the left, i don't think that will lead them to anesh lek rallelectoralvistry victory ovey forget how we get there they want to change it is break it. lou: like morgan said, you have to acknowledge that the democratic party is not going to participate in the governance of this country. they have done nothing there is no reason to expect them to be a partner, since they lost out on their witch-hunt, since they could find no way to person pay the wait -- perpetuate the hoax, they have to have their hair on fire every day. something new they are outraged about. now, the attorney general, used word spy.

and they want to redefine the word to unlearn what they have known a year and a half ago that someone was spying for whatever reason on the trump campaign. they act suddenly that was not known until william barr, acknowledged such in his testimony before congress. >> we know that carter page was spied on and documents were submited and that allegedly the documents can't be released because federal government is worried that the hurt our international spying operation with our allies. >> if democrat acknowledge that, and say, hold on, but that is not spying? that would be interesting to hear, there is a long hefty of spying on presidents here in campaigns. this is not new. we're act like it never happened before. lou: spying, you know, i think

they would preferred a couple derivatives. >> secretly watching. lou: it could have calm their racing hearts, christopher bedford thank you. >> thank you. lou: up next, president trump reactions to arrest of wikileaks founder julian assange. >> i know nothing about wikileaks, it's not my thing. i know there is something having to do with jewel a julian assant ul be a dm determination i image mostly by attorney general. lou: lawmakers rips into big tech for their anticonservative bias and left wing innocents stance. social media stars diamond and social media stars diamond and silk join me next, sta i can't believe it. social media stars diamond and silk join me next, sta that there's a lobster in our hot tub? lobster: oh, you guys. there's a jet!

host of fox nation show, diamond and silk. let's start with omar, she has defenders. >> yeah, we -- i think this is disgusting, anyone that can defend her tasteless and disrespectful words and quotes she said, she is proven to be anti-american, anti-jewish, she does not deserve to be in our congress. they had animalistic behaviors, terrorists, they drove planes into our twin towers, she needs to call things how they need to be called out, instead of just beating around the bush, i don't think she represents america, i don't know who she represent bus not america. lou: and her defenders, talib

and alexandria ocasio-cortez, saying that her critics omar's critics are racist, this is at-this-point than nancy pelosi seems too have lost control of these freshman lawmakers and their language, their conduct, is just unbecoming to say the very least, anyone representing u.s. government as they do not just the people of their home districts, but the american people -- you can imagine what this looks like buying broadcast around the globe? >> this does not look good for america. you know, we have a woman sitting there referring to some people did nothing, these are terrorists, the same people that she tries to defend, who drove plans into our twin towers, call it for what it is, i don't know that none of them deserve to be in congress, they make us all look bad.

lou: let's recall them. >> i am not racist. i am not latest but we have to call her out. >> persons ideology should not dig dictate the ou outcome of a decision, that is what omar is allowing herself to do when she makes' decision she bias its on her -- ideology not the law. lou: when william barr, attorney general said spying, on the trump campaign, you would have thought that he used a 4 letter word rather than 3 letter word. >> absolutely, because, listen it messes with the democrat narrative, they are one that master, minds, created it perpetrated it that to be called out, william barr, needs to

leave no table unturned, let's get to the bottom of this. >> right. >> if they spy on then donald trump people need to be brought to the table, all the way to the top. you can start with the top or head of the administration that is obama himself. >> that is right. lou: and obama attorney greg indicted today, on lying to the fbi, here we go again, as a result of his relationship with paul mana fort. it -- manafort it looks like investigation is trying to look to the entire political spectrum. we'll see how that goes thank you both for being with us, we appreciate it, diamond and silk. gagood to have you with us.

the best they've ever been. we have more people working right now in the united states than we've ever had before, almost 160 million people. lou: wow. and on wall street, what was the reaction? stocks closing mixed. just another day in the trump economy. the dow down 14 points, the s&p flat, the nasdaq down 17. volume on the big board, 2.9 billion shares. crude oil flat as well. gold and silver, you got it, flat. and a reminder, listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. i am never flat on salem. or fox, for that matter. joining me now, john lonski, managing director at moody's. john, let's talk about the happiest of times economically. this, i don't -- i know no one foresaw. this level of ebullience about the economy when president trump was elected --

>> that labor market story is incredible. i never thought i would live to see the day when we had fewer than 200,000 weekly jobless claims. this is the lowest ratio to the size of payroll employment in history. lou: right. and it's the lowest since october, you know, 49 years ago. it's remarkable, to me, to see this kind of growth, to see this kind of market expansion and appreciation. they're just -- we are hitting on every cylinder that an economy could ask -- >> you know, wages are growing more rapidly, yet there seems to be no threat of faster price inflation, no need for interest rates -- lou: jerome powell is walking around scratching his head. he's so distraught that there's no inflation present in the economy, he's going to go party with the democrats this weekend. >> you know, i went back and i tried to find the last time core inflation, core pc price index

inflation was above 2.5% year to year in a quarterly basis. lou: right. >> i had to go all the way back -- lou: '70s? >> 1923. 1970s was the last time the phillips curve was in effect when you had a higher unemployment rate, faster price inflation. so you're talking about powell, this gives me the impression that people at the fed are still dancing to a disco beat. they're trapped in the 1970s -- [laughter] and they can't accept how the new reality of -- lou: yeah, it is, to me, surprising to watch, to have watched wall street, joining with the bubbleheads at the fed wanting to raise interest rates last october. they said, well, you've got to have that, we've got to have what they call tools in the tool kit to deal with whatever happenses to the economy, so we've got to raise rates, irrespective of the markets. they went along with that. the president comes out and says you're out of your with mind,

jerome powell. cut rates, stop it now, and then there's this clash and clutter and clacking, and the next thing you know wall street now agrees with the president that we have to keep interest rates low. and jamie die loan, the other day -- jamie dimon the other day admitting without saying that the president was right. >> and trump was spot on, latter part of 2018. interest rates are too high, no need for that rate hike. and sure enough, the bond yield comes down to 2.5%. what happens to mortgage applications for the purchase of a home, we now have the strongest four-week arm for that metric of -- average for that metric of the current economic recovery. and, by the way, not the entire equity market was flat today. we did have some nice advances posted by housing-related share prices. lou: right. i'm still going to call it flat though because the indexes were flat. i want some action in that market, you know? and we're getting very nice

appreciation, and i love it. how long does it last, john lonski? >> this could go on and on and on as long as we can9 continue to move that unemployment rate lower no matter how slowly. lou: don't you find it interesting we're not hearing a word from the fed, that's a positive, we're not hearing any of this silly, reflexive nonsense from the business press about, oh, my god, the u.s./china trade talks aren't going well, they're going well. there's none of that. there's no suddenly any interest on the part of investors in that. so exactly what are investors focused on right now that is creating such stability? >> what they're focusing on is the expected continued growth of profits moving forward. nobody's written off profits yet, though we are probably going to have a first quarter here in 2019, we'll start getting reports -- lou: a tough quarter to quarter -- >> but as long as the job market

is healthy, consumer spending's going to hang in there. and, ultimately, it is consumer spending, what consumers spend on housing and what not that drives the u.s. economy. lou: right. and i, i'm still a big fan of business investment. i like to see more of that. >> you will see, you know, capital spending if consumer spending grows. lou: well -- >> all the more so with these more favorable tax treatment of capital spending. lou: okay. i've got to call my broker. wait a minute, never mind, i have to wait until the show's over. >> i keep on saying hold, and the equity market keeps going higher. lou: then i'm going to keep listening to you. hold, it is. [laughter] john lonski, always great to see you, and it's a remarkable time. it truly is. >> yes, it is. lou: and think of all the people so young that they think this is the new normal. maybe they be right. >> hope so. lou: john lonski. up next, more than a million illegal immigrants expected to

be apprehended at our southern border this year, that means as many as four million illegal immigrants could be in this country. we'll find out. we'll have much more on what to do about this crisis when we come right back. ♪ i switched to liberty mutual, because they let me customize my insurance. and as a fitness junkie, i customize everything, like my bike, and my calves. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪
