8:00 pm
and certainly professional. that is it for us tonight. we thank you for being with us. -- our guests monday, please be with us, have a good night. >> tonight democrats digging in their heels in an attempt to do anything to keep alive the investigations into president trump. now issuing a subpoena for the unredacted report. why that is still not quite -- what this desperately want to vipers and adam schiff, who for two long years has claimed repeatedly he had absolute proof of collusion.now time to dodge the claims by taking direct aim at the attorney general, bill barr. >> the attorney general did a grave disservice to the country. by misrepresenting significant parts of the mueller report.
8:01 pm
by attempting to put a positive spin for the president on the special counsel findings. the attorney general is not the presidents personal lawyer although he may feel he is. >> was time to hold congressman adam schiff responsible for his inflammatory rhetoric. plus, saturday night live, tina fey, saying that she is no part of -- no longer part of the show. and who she is blaming.and a massive college bribery scandal. the newest developments coming up. trish regan prime time starts right now. good evening, everyone. i am gregg jarrett in for trish regan. no obstruction, that is not
8:02 pm
enough democrats. more than 24 hours after the mueller report drops, they are still slamming the attorney general, bill barr, implying the report findings could not possibly vindicate president trump. take a look. >> the way that the attorney general conducted himself as though he were the personal attorney of the president was incredibly troubling. >> he is seeking to help donald trump, he should resign. when attorney general with the credibility of the american people. >> bill barr took upon itself to clear the president. not up to him. >> attorney general did a grave disservice to the country by attempting to put a positive spin for the president on the special counsel findings. >> i was so disappointed in the attorney general, barr, it is phenomenal. we had to go against this, a lot of people talk about the question of impeachment. we may very well come to that very soon. >> do you believe this? mac just to further undermine the attorney general 's efforts, democrats today
8:03 pm
subpoenaed the unredacted copy of the report hoping they will find something, anything to impeach donald trump with those reductions. the house judiciary chairman, jerry nadler, making rounds sticking with that point home. >>. >> congress must get the entire report. >> we need the entire report unredacted and underlying documents to make informed decisions.after that we will subpoena that report. >> have issued a subpoena to get the entire report? mac. >> we will in about one hour. >> the subpoena was issued hours ago. german former trump campaign 2016 campaign manager, cory lewandowski. great to see you. so, let me get this straight, bill barr is actually offered to show the judiciary committee as wellas the gang of eight , the unredacted version of the report and they are saying no,
8:04 pm
we want to go to court. they do not want to read the report that he his offering for them to read. right? >> this has never been about getting a full unredacted report. this is about them try to impeach the president and ruining his integrity and reputation. it was not long ago when the two former attorney generals under barack obama, one claimed he was the obama wing man and the other one was on the tarmac meeting with bill clinton to talk about golf and grandchildren if you remember. but it was really probably about hillary clinton's emails. the attorney general is a man of the utmost integrity. he turned around the summary of the report in 48 hours.he offered them the opportunity to see the full unredacted report. they don't want that. they want to make this a political football and continue to impugn his integrity and the work is done on behalf of the
8:05 pm
country. it is shameful. >> are also impugning the integrity of bill barr. he heard the sound bite from adam schiff in which he asserted that barr has misrepresented the mueller report. take a look at the march 24 letter from barr. he literally recites verbatim, the report on both collusion and obstruction. on the latter he said there issues on both sides. right out of mueller 's report. then he produces a report that presents issues on both sides. i mean, how can somebody in good conscience, accused bill barr of misrepresenting it? >> not just somebody, greg, but little adam schiff, who has lied to the american people for the last 2 and a half years when he said that unequivocally, 100 percent, he has seen evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. now he says, we must wait for the mueller report to come out. bob mueller is the gold standard in 2017. bob mueller is the gold standard in 2018.
8:06 pm
report comes out, bob mueller cannot be trusted is what adam schiff is basically saying. and adam schiff was an apology to the american people for lying so many times that he had unequivocal evidence that there was collusion. he should be rude from the chairmanship of the intelligence committee and congress. >> is not just adam schiff. eric swalwell, jerry nadler, we played the soundbites before we came to you. i mean these guys are the -- democrats who cannot get over their obsession of a non-crime, a conspiracy that did not exist. i mean, they're going to pursue this for impeachment, right? >> they are. and the saddest part is, if you left it up to these three buffoons, they wanted the president to be guilty of a crime because they hate this president more than they love their country.
8:07 pm
and what we really need to get to the bottom of and her book laid out the foundation for, let's investigate the investigators because what we know, what you have articulated what we have talked about for a long time is the crimes that were committed against the president. the president committed no crimes, there was no collusion, no obstruction but the crimes that were committed against them cannot go unanswered. we need to bring those people to justice, james comey, klapper, peter strzok, lisa paige. you know the characters, jim baker, andrew mccabe, bruce ohr who committed the crimes first against the trump campaign of which i was spied on and my colleagues were then the trump family and ultimately, the president himself very likely. we need to bring those people to justice and find out how it began and hold them accountable. >> none of the 183 pages in the obstruction of justice section, of the mueller report showed criminal intent. and you have to show a purpose, it is a threat, concealing of evidence or can destruction of
8:08 pm
evidence. i explained it in my book. yet, your people who are still claiming obstruction of justice and they are accusing william barr, of twisting and contorting -- to clear donald trump. what do you say those people? mac. >> you have to remember about the russia hoax, moreover, bill barr and bob mueller and deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, had the opportunity to sit down together. to review the document before the summary was ever presented to the american people and they all came with the same conclusion. it was no obstruction and there was no collusion whatsoever. it was one year, 10 months and six days, $25 million, 40 members of the fbi, 13 a democrat attorneys who looked under every rock, turn over every stone to try and get this president to commit a crime and
8:09 pm
it never happened. and the democrats cannot understand that peer they will continue to pursue this, they will continue to pursue the issue of impeachment. it will backfire on them. come the 2020 election. my prediction will be that this whole incident ultimately will help the president get reelected because the american people are tired of being lied to and they want somebody like this president was continuing to deliver for them. greg: cory lewandowski, great to see you. thank you for being with us tonight. all right, adam schiff, chairman of the house intelligence committee is now famous for saying he had evidence against president trump and refusing to show america what the evidence is. take a look. >> there is clear evidence on the issue of collusion and the body of evidence. they have maintained for some time that within a significant evidence we've seen that there was no collusion. this merely parrots with the
8:10 pm
president says but is not consistent with what we have seen. i did not say that there is ample evidence, indeed there is of collusion of people in the trump campaign with the russians. there is significant evidence of collusion. we have set that out time and time again. greg: now calling for adam schiff to fess up and admit he had nothing. that he was lying all along. if he did have something, he would have shown it to us by now. jordan, house oversight committeemember, south carolina congressman , ralph norman. great to have you with us tonight. should adam schiff step aside, resigned as chairman of the committee? >> not only should he resign, greg, he ought to apologize to the american people. the old adage, if you don't like the message, kill the messenger. that is taking place here. they just hate donald trump that much and as cory said, it is pretty obvious now. the american people are getting tired of it. and i really think you're seeing the democratic party
8:11 pm
meltdown and i think that you're seeing them want to shift the narrative with president trump and which he has been exonerated of collusion and obstruction of justice. they do not want us to focus on the great things are happening to this country. look at the economy, look at everybody, the low low unemployment rate. the growth rate, wages are up, they just want to shift the blame and we have 90 days before we go into recess and i think literally we have 18 months before the mayor -- the american people choose their president. what also they got? mac democrats don't have anything to run on. greg: you know, adam schiff is spent, and i tried carefully, two years alleging criminal collusion.i have 13 pages here, singlespaced of all of his appearances in which he alleged criminal collusion.
8:12 pm
now that there is no criminal collusion, according to bob mueller, that was about the most exculpatory statement i've ever seen. now, adam schiff is shifting. shifty schiff. he is saying i never meant criminal collusion, i meant the collusion of noncriminal variety. he is lying, isn't he? i have 13 pages that show he is lying. >> he is lying and you laid it out in your book and it is obvious, again, he is the american people an apology. and you know, it is there again, the meltdown of the democratic party. look who you have -- saying that he does not want to pursue impeachment. you have got nadler wanting an unredacted version, which legally, he cannot get. you know that.
8:13 pm
greg: yeah. >> and president did not use executive privilege. and you want aoc wanting impeachment including rashida tlaib. the american people have a front row seat of what's going on. greg: from the republican and the presidents standpoint how to love this! you want aoc and adam schiff and jerry nadler and elijah cummings front and center, spinning all of their lies because they have lost credibility completely. haven't they? >> they lost credibility and is up to us to point that out. i don't know where the sense of fairness is. we saw this with kavanaugh. and as lindsey graham said, god, we hope they never get power. and the american people i think
8:14 pm
will, come election day, they will find out that this is what they're concentrating on for the next 18 months, let's hold them accountable. it's up to us to call attention to that. greg: congressman ralph norman, thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure. greg: the crisis at the southern border at a breaking point. some border town residents taking matters into their own hands. wait until you hear what vigilantes in mexico are doing to stop migrants from entering our country illegally. but first, tina fey taking a big-time shot at saturday night live as a former snl alum says she's glad she's no longer on that show. find out who she is blaming, when we return. drivwhat do you charge forer. online equity trades? um ah, i'll look into it. lisa jones! hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades?

liberal university trying to push for a sanctuary dorm, has now passed a resolution supporting socialist congresswomen, alexandria ocasio-cortez 's green new deal. and a $93 trillion price tag. join me now, trump 2020 campaign advisory member, madison -- informer hillary clinton campaign advisor,
8:19 pm
antjuan seawright. what is going on? mac are the economically illiterate? mac it will cost $600,000 per person, every person in the united states. do they think that money grows on trees? >> i cannot speak for the folks at berkeley but i can speak for antoine and give you his thought process. my friend madison also been very clear that i do not know the new green deal in theory is the right idea. i think the approach that aoc took and in terms of saying we need to do something about preserving gods resources, do something about this element, the stain destroying the earth called climate change i think that in itself is the right direction. however, i think the legislation that she dropped, word for word is probably not the right idea. i think that's why you have not
8:20 pm
seen a get much -- spoon madison, it never ceases to amaze me how dumb some college students can be. >> i think they are misinformed which is the right word. as antjuan said is not probably right it is definitely not the right idea. we look at the policy it is impossible. it is more than many people make in their lifetime. the students are saying we understand as a high price tag but we will support it.it is relatively meaningless. i hope we can continue to inform students across campuses across the country when it comes to economics, i'm surprised they have not been taking but economics classes in the courses there. i hope that we can find ways to inform them in another when they get out there in the real world and they are working they will understand how much they do not want things like the green new deal. many probably don't even know
8:21 pm
it actually is. >> madison, let's be clear now, i think that the new green deal, green new deal in his current form, i do think the approach of them addressing the issue of the environment, talking about climate change, talking about ways that we can -- greg: one we talk about in a intelligent constructive way. antjuan, not a single democrat in the u.s. senate when it came for vote, voted yay. >> are pushing back on here we are saying the same thing. i do think, and you know this because -- [multiple speakers] greg: is typical that it came from aoc. it is frightening that a thinker major was economics. wow! >> isn't it? greg: for years! >> she wanted an -- >> and the environment such as the country. greg: boston university might want to rethink and revoke that degree. comedian, tina fey, saying that
8:22 pm
the political climate has gotten so incredibly ugly and polarizing that she is actually glad she is no longer on saturday night live. take a look. >> is there any thought reyna was so much news, that you love to be there our early glad to be out of it? >> i'm glad because the political climate is so ugly, you know you would always have everybody on because you could. you know like bush senior would be there but it is so truly ugly now. greg: madison, she's right. there was a lot of sun in it and they were pretty good-natured jokes but now it is just vicious. isn't it? >> unfortunately, she is right. the political climate across the country is very sad right now we are very divided. we need more unity especially when it comes to -- i think we were more unified.
8:23 pm
one thing she continued to say which i thought was interesting, he doesn't believe comedy has an effect on the elections but i think she's very wrong. they've done a lot of studies at universities across the country showing that comedy does have an effect. and you have chevy chase doing interview talking about how he had intended for to have an effect when he did his impressions in the 70s talking about how he wanted -- he was making decisions. greg: antjuan, it is not just snl but look at all the late-night talk shows. these are malicious and heavily biased points of view that are now being spewed by the talkshow hosts. >> i do not disagree with that. and i agree with my friend madison that we are divided as
8:24 pm
we have been in my generation. i do not want to speak with previous generations because i know the stories of summer my grandparents would tell me. however, i think leadership starts at the top and most of this comes because we see some of the rhetoric comes from the leader of the free world. so it has a trickle-down effect. i think it takes good people to have basic conversations about things we have in common so that we can then move forward and find out ways to come together even on the things we disagree with. when i get off the program tonight there will be people who will sit by the keyboard. i called them keyboard thugs. they will treat not just because madison and i may not agree on everything we talk about. greg: i miss johnny carson and -- thank you both for being here. appreciate it. coming up, the vice president issuing astern warning to lawmakers tonight , do your job and fix our broken immigration system. the warning comes as vigilantes in mexico taking matters into their own hands to stop migrants from entering our country illegally. details when we come back.
8:25 pm
>> it is time for congress to do their job, to come together in a bipartisan basis and address this very real crisis. for the sake of the american people. for the sake of our security and to end this crisis of illegal immigration on the southern border. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. nice! but uh, what's up with your partner? oh! we just spend all day telling everyone how we customize car insurance because no two people are alike, so... limu gets a little confused when he sees another bird that looks exactly like him. ya... he'll figure it out. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

8:28 pm
the active ingredient in jardiance. and it lowers a1c? yeah- with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today. ...or trips to mars. $4.95. delivery drones or the latest phones. $4.95. no matter what you trade, at fidelity it's just $4.95 per online u.s. equity trade. greg: the crisis at our border

is certainly escalating. congress needs to act and act now. that is what the vice president mike pence is saying in a brand-new op-ed on www.foxnews.com. so bad, one new mexico county has declared a state of emergency and its citizens have resorted to their own vigilante militia in order to stop migrants at the border. joining me now, former dhs special agent and operation underground railroad founder, tim -- we hearing various social media platforms are

playing a huge role in coordinating these migrant caravan. what can be done? >> look, they are advertising the smugglers are advertising, come with me, i will get you in the state and they're using our laws against us. that's why the visit president is spot on. congress needs to fix as per the policy and talk about is a settlement which says that if you bring a child, if you are illegal andrew bring a child and walk across the border and surrender yourself, the folks are surrender themselves to be vigilante groups because they are told to do this. if you have a child in hand then law enforcement takes you and they have to release you in 20 days. this is very, very dangerous. children are being used as pawns in their in a very vulnerable situation here. greg: let me ask you about sex trafficking. because it is unbelievable the

8:32 pm
claiming that they are. >> it is unbelievable. my wife and i adopted two children from haiti. it took the us government one year to vet us. we actually liberated them in a trafficking sting operation. one year to vet us to make sure we were safe parents. now here, we are not doing the same thing with innocent children being brought across. 20 days is all we have. we need to stop this. congress needs to rapidly deploy dna technology. they have to do something. greg: democrats will not do it. you appeared before a subcommittee of the house homeland security committee and you were there to tell them what is going on, on the ground. especially children and sex traffickers and what were you told?>> i was told that we are talking about policies
8:33 pm
about separating children from families. not about trafficking. and i said wait, wait! that's what i'm talking about too because it is our policies are allowing people to traffic children. we have to wake up, this is a serious fight. greg: there putting the earmuffs on, the democrats. and the chairwoman of the subcommittee says your testimony is irrelevant. i cannot think of a more relevant and important subject and message and you are trying to convey it and the democrats just won't listen. tim ballard, please come back. we want to hear more, we are a little short of time but thank you for being with us. >> thank you, greg. greg: coming up, the vice trump's the former vice president, joe biden is set to announce his running for president. him and bernie sanders, g the one have a shot at defeating president trump? mac that and more will may come back.>> the man that we the next president of the united

8:40 pm
hard in an open election for a former vp to win? >> it is very hard and very tough. i'll give an example. in 1980 i was working with george h. w. bush and he won. but i can tell you when we got to the iowa caucus, february 8, 1988, he came in third place. there were rumors that he was going to retire from politics and become the president of the pearl later company. the bush dynasty was over before it began. i walked george w back to his room and put them to bed. and a week later he won new hampshire. but that gives you an idea how close they were to nothing. so there's a long way to go for joe biden. >> that was a heck of a comeback. you know, i covered the 1988 primaries when you know, he eventually had to drop out because he plagiarized a speech
8:41 pm
and he lied about his credentials. if i recall, he gave himself one more academic degree than he really had. and by the way, it was the first time he plagiarized and then he got kicked out of school for a while for plagiarizing. i mean, he has problems, doesn't he? >> he does. it's ironic, he did have those problems in 1988. but you know, before the problems surface, he was actually a formidable candidate in the democratic primary.in fact, i think it was rumored that they planted something against them because they were afraid of him being a formidable candidate. so joe biden minus the scandal you talked about, he could be, he would be a formidable candidate against donald trump. but that is not today joe biden. today's joe biden is a gaffe machine. and today's democratic party is not that of 1988.
8:42 pm
this guy has really started to twist himself into so many directions he's going to look more like a pretzel by the end of the primary process than a candidate. >> everyone has to move left. and when i say left at me like we left.

8:43 pm
came out, the vice president complimented him and said that he holds him in high regard. greg: you know, doug, is ambassador correct here? is this a hate hoax along the lines of jussie smollett? [laughter] >> i think it is. and it is shameful. i mean this is 1980 stuff, the republican party has the log cabin club and they are just upset some democrats because a lot of very prominent wealthy gay are supporting donald trump for a peerless book at the rnc, it is a total fraud. it is shameful that some are campaigning against pete buttigieg. in iowa there is some demonstrators, no more republicans and in unassociated with donald trump or mike pence. greg: what i heard pete buttigieg say this, i was like -- what in the world is he talking about? it is not what mike pence is
8:44 pm
said about mayor pete. >> not at all, not at all, in fact they had a very cordial relationship when he was governor in indiana and mayor pete was coming up the ranks. look, i think the investor is a real hero of mine. because it is very difficult to go against the grain of the so-called activist within your group, be it african-american or gay or woman. and for the ambassador to stand up the way he did and talk against the growing intolerance of the left, for different point of view, for people exercising their first amendment rights which is not only freedom of speech and freedom of thought, or freedom of religion as well. there's a, is not just mayor pete but kamala harris as well. senator hirono. they both came out against a judicial nominee because he had

cook county present prosecutor kim fox resigning. after jussie smollett hate crime. last month, fox news correspondent mike tobin has more. >> fox news has on the departure of a third departure with the state attorney office this is director of external affairs. this comes after the chief ethics officer announced she
8:50 pm
was leaving the states attorneys office. as the person advised kim fox that she need to step away from the jussie smollett case. the ethics officer is named april perry. she give the recommendation because fox had contact with the family and supporters of jussie smollett while she was still considered the victim of a hate crime. it is now known that fox never formally recruited so. in fact they show she made recommendations to deputy prosecutor handling the case. -- she has always had the support of kim fox. >> we never had an ethics officer in cook county. what i wanted to make sure when i started my term was that any decision i made, even the appearance of impropriety would be vetted by someone other than myself. >> and the integrity unit, a resignation was submitted before the controversies were that. he is retired because he is turning 67 and want to retire. specific timing is around a fishing trip.
8:51 pm
meanwhile kim kim foxx said she will no longer be making public statement while the inspector general is reviewing her offices handling of the jussie smollett case. greg: mike, thank you very much. another was a lawyer told you better shut up. so, we should expect more resignations or maybe even the resignation of kim foxx. how about her impeachment? vectren of talk about that misty, a -- good to see you. what's remarkable is she clearly was interfering and she seems to have been lying about her recusal. she shouldn't unequivocal statement early on the said she'd recuse yourself from the case. she didn't. text messages show that. and now, she is trying to say well, i did not really recuse myself. >> i mean, greg, when i read that carmona saw that she was
8:52 pm
saying i was only using the word recuse in the colloquial sense. not the legal sense. even though you thought you might be using in the legal sense given my position. it is a ridiculous argument. and then not only did she not formally recuse himself, we saw that there is actually an ethics advisory opinion saying is not good enough you to just hand us off to your second-in-command. greg: right. >> you have to recruit -- recuse the entire office. and even in the colloquial sense, she was still the puppetmaster behind the scenes. which we saw from the text messages. it is dishonesty upon dishonesty upon dishonesty. greg: everybody and states attorneys office knows, when you recusal yourself the illinois law is fairly unique but you go to a judge appoints somebody. but no, kim foxx is above the law and decided to rake this for jussie smollett by pointing
8:53 pm
one of her aides and unduly influencing the aid. >> absolutely. and we saw all of the text messages come to light in the freedom of information law request. and i have to tell you, i know we have talked about this on the network several times. i was shocked, sitting in the green room when the jussie smollett determination came down. i was thinking there must've been a new piece of evidence or something new that happened. that was just a review of the facts? didn't you review the facts before you impaneled a grand jury? i mean it really was something. greg: i looked up the law in illinois. to remove her from office, you have to have the house of representatives in illinois impeach her and a trial in the senate. onto another hollywood controversy, more arrests could come soon in the infamous billion-dollar college bribery scandal. hollywood celebrity felicity huffman has already pled guilty while full house star, lori loughlin is fighting the
8:54 pm
charges and facing up to 40 years in prison. misty marris, thank you for being with us. it is pretty clear there will be more people indicted. >> yes, in the original complaint, we saw that singer said that he helped 800 students and only 50 people were indicted. 33 parents. we knew there was more there. we knew that if said he made about $25 million but really, what we found the criminal complaint only amounted to about 6 million. it was actually alluding to the fact that more criminal charges may be coming down the pipeline. greg: some report that lori loughlin is utterly shocked that she is being charged with crimes and apparently, she thinks her defense can be, but i did not know what i was doing was against the law. one of the first things you learn in criminal law, first year law student is, ignorance of the law is not a defense.
8:55 pm
>> you took the words right out of my mouth! i am like, that is 101, first aid law school. the fact that the statement is now out there, it is really damaging and she has to have an attorney behind the scenes that is telling her that is not going to work. in a court of law. it is certainly not going to be any sort of argument that will satisfy -- greg: you know want to rob the bank i did not know that was against the law! >> i thought the money was mine! greg: i thought i could do that -- sorry, not a defense! misty marris, great to see you. >> thank you, greg. greg: more on "trish regan primetime". ahhh! carl, does your firm offer a satisfaction guarantee? like schwab does. guarantee? carl, can you remind me what you've invested my money in.
