7:00 pm
business network. have a good evening. >> good evening everybody. i'm david asman if for lou dobbs. the national security crisis at our southern border worsening by the day. top officials confirming that smugglers and the cartels know that u.s. immigration laws are weak, so they exploit them. the mexican side of the border is controlled by these dangerous thugs, yet the radical dems ignoring the crisis calling for open borders. president trump's say the left immigration agenda endangers our nation. >> nothing is more dangerous than the democrats crazy immigration agenda. their entire party has been taken over by far left radicals
7:01 pm
who want to nullify and erase american borders. they want open borders. david: tonight we take a look at the crisis at the border with a man who has spent his career on the front lines. national border patrol council president brandon judd joining us tonight. president trump's fight for border security coming as he dodges the endless attempts to undermine his presidency. deep staters james clapper and john brennan misrepresenting mueller's finding of no obstruction. sally yates is doing the same. we will take up the corruption and hypocrisy of the deep state with judicial watch president tom fenton. and the trump 2020 team is gearing up for another successful presidential campaign and need to flip some blue states to red. trump 2020 campaign manager says the campaign's ground game is far stronger than it was in 2016. >> one of the largest ground
7:02 pm
games in history. in 2016, we had 700,000 about volunteers. we plan on 1.6 million volunteers for 2020. some people might just hold block parties. some people might engage on social media. some people might be knocking on doors. in every single metric we are looking at being bigger, better and badder than we were in 2016. this time we aren't trying to prove something. the president has proved he has done it. we need to deliver what he's done. david: republican strategist ed rollins, pulitzer prize columnist michael goodwin, and elizabeth harrington and the trump's 2020 campaign's mark lotter are with us tonight. top story, national security crisis at the border rages on largely due to years of inactive, ineffective congressional leadership and more than two years of obstructing president trump's immigration agenda. we turn to fox chief white house correspondent john roberts for the latest. >> good evening. in addition to his signature issue of eliminating illegal
7:03 pm
immigration, president trump is also proposing dramatic reforms to legal immigration. but so far those proposals have been met with similar opposition to what the president wants to do about illegal immigrants. white house staff are expected to deliver to the president next week a plan for merit-based immigration. president trump insisting that the current system is irreparably broken. >> the problem is you have ten times more people coming up with their families. it is like disneyland now. >> since the days of the campaign, the president has promoted merit-based immigration, similar to canada, australia, and new zealand. he also wants to eliminate the visa lottery and chain migration. democrats have fiercely opposed the president, but the white house hopes that may be changing. >> we have a number of unaccompanied children skyrocketing. the number of those individuals coming across our border being smuggled and taken advantage of and exploited, and now members of the democrat party hopefully are seeing exactly what the
7:04 pm
president's been talking about and will have a new willingness to help us address it. >> house speaker pelosi, senator schumer and other democrats will be at the white house tomorrow for the first time since january 9th when president trump walked out of their meeting on wall funding. infrastructure is the main topic, but immigration no doubt will come up. customs and border protection is preparing for a massive influx of people now that word has gone out that detention centers are full and people are being released into the united states. >> if you come now, and if you come as a family or unaccompanied child, you will be allowed to stay. you will be released because our court system is so backlogged and our laws prevent effective repatriation. >> experts in human smuggling are being sent to the border to investigate incidents where migrants pose as parents and children to create a fake family to exploit a loophole.
7:05 pm
others are forging documents to claim people are minors when they are actually over 18. and the administration is stealing for another fight with congress. this time over attorney general william barr's thursday appearance before the house judiciary. committee chairman nadler wants staff attorneys to question barr about the mueller report after members of congress have had their turn. >> there are valid reasons to wanting to be able to have counsel ask questions. we have seen any number of instances under the five-minute rule where a witness will give an unresponsive answer in the last half minute and you can't follow up >> the doj fired back not going to happen. in a statement, the spokeswoman said the attorney general agreed to appear before congress. therefore members of congress should be the ones doing the questioning. he remains happy to engage with members on their questions regarding the mueller report. late this afternoon, the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein announced that he would be leaving the department of
7:06 pm
justice effective may the 11th. rosenstein said back in january that he would be resigning after the mueller report was released. in his resignation letter, rosenstein said the department, quote, made rapid progress at achieving the administration's law enforcement priorities. attorney general barr praised on rosenstein saying quote rod has been an invaluable partner to me during my return to the department, and i have relied heavily on his leadership and judgment over the past several months. david? david: john roberts, thank you very much. u.s. china trade talks appear to be reaching a pivotal two weeks. u.s. trade advisors suggesting the next round of talks will end in a recommendation to president trump on whether or not a fair and reciprocal trade deal can be made and enforced. edward lawrence is live in washington with the latest on that. hi, edward >> hi, david. yeah, it's already tomorrow in china, in a few hours, u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer and treasury secretary steven mnuchin will
7:07 pm
start the tenth round of face-to-face talks with the chinese. in an exclusive interview, the treasury secretary mnuchin says yes or no on a trade deal with china could be answered next week after the chinese delegation comes to washington for talks on may 8th. >> we hope within the next two rounds in china and in d.c., to be at the point where we can either recommend to the president we have a deal or make a recommendation that we don't. >> now, the sticking point is still enforcement and tariffs. trade sources say that one plan is to have the tariffs roll off as the chinese reach certain benchmarks to follow through with the agreement. for example, if enforcement of intellectual property for companies comes through then some tariffs roll off. larry kudlow says this trade deal would cover a lot of ground. >> it includes the tariff and nontariff barriers for commodities and industrial supplies. it includes the issue of ip theft. it includes the forced transfer
7:08 pm
of technology and ownership. it includes enforcement. we've gotten a lot of progress on all of those issues. >> and kudlow adds that we are 95% finished with an agreement but it is that last little bit that's always the hardest with the most sticky issues to resolve. david? david: edward lawrence, thank you very much. authorities in southern california today arresting a u.s. army veteran who converted to islam for plotting a large scale terror attack on american soil. correspondent trace gallagher is in los angeles tonight with the details which are chilling. trace? >> they are indeed, david. target number one was supposed to be a white nationalist rally that was scheduled for yesterday in long beach, south of los angeles. the fbi says the suspect, 26-year-old mark steven domingo not only committed to that attack but picked out the location of the rally where he actually wanted a bomb to be placed. and federal agents say domingo went to home supply stores looking for the deadliest
7:09 pm
material. watch. >> he allegedly purchased several hundred three inch long nails to be used in ieds, as shrapnel, specifically because the nails were long enough to penetrate the human body and puncture internal organs. >> investigators say last week domingo delivered the nails to who he thought was a bomb builder. then on friday, domingo was arrested after an undercover agent handed him a fully built but phony ied. investigators say the suspect also wanted to attack the santa monica pier during the crowded summer months to cause the highest number of casualties. steven domingo is a u.s. army vet who served in afghanistan and recently converted to islam. investigators say he also went on-line trying to recruit other like-minded people to islam, and here's what the fbi is saying about the motive. listen. >> the defendant expressed a desire to retaliate for the new
7:10 pm
zealand attack. the defendant claimed he would swear allegiance to isis if they formed in the united states and praised the leader of isis. >> the fbi said domingo also posted that america needs another vegas event, referring to the october 2017 mass shooting, saying it would quote give them a taste of the terror they gladly spread all over the world. domingo is in los angeles courtroom. he's waiting to appear, where he will officially be charged with planning a mass casualty attack. david? david: what a story, trace, thank you very much. well, also in southern california, the fbi confirming today it received a tip about a threatening social media post, just minutes before a gunman opened fire in a poway synagogue. investigators, however, say they didn't have the time to find him and stop the shooting. a 60-year-old woman died. three other people were injured, including the congregation's rabbi. we reached out to israel's
7:11 pm
representative to the u.n. tonight for his thoughts on the shooting. he referred to us a statement that reads in part, quote, anti-semitism continues to raise its head and take victims. this is the time for action. for a determined war and not for weak and hollow condemnations that allow the forces of hate to revive dark periods in history. end quote. still to come tonight, former deputy attorney general sally yates covering up for the deep state. we will take that up later with judicial watch's tom finton. but up next, president trump accuses the radical dems of putting politics over the security of our borders. >> they are allowed to stay in our country, catch and release. they're allowed -- you catch them and then you have to release them. it is crazy. congress has to fix these horrible immigration laws. david: border patrol union president brandon judd joins me next with that and much more. stay with us. all money managers might seem the same,
7:12 pm
but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. nueven if you try to eat well,. you might fall short in key nutrients. get more by adding one a day. it's the #1 multivitamin uniquely designed for men and women. one serving, once a day. one a day. and done. 2,000 fence posts. 900 acres.

7:15 pm
david: immigration and customs enforcement announcing today that it is closely working with customs and border patrol to end child smuggling by cracking down on fake families that exploit u.s. immigration laws. >> these children are being vktt
7:16 pm
victimized. they are being utilized again and placed with a nonrelative adult just so that adult can be released because they know we can't hold them. these are the loopholes we have talked about. david: a senator spoke out in a recent interview following his visit to border saying quote we need to change that narrative to the evil people. the true evil people in this equation, which are the human traffickers, and let's paint the picture that we're the ones that are helping these human traffickers put hundreds of millions of dollars in their pocket because we're just too stupid to change the law and actually enforce what we should be enforcing so this doesn't happen. joining me now is president of the national border patrol council brandon judd. brandon, i want your reaction to what i just read, but first of
7:17 pm
all, you spent the weekend at the border, if i'm not mistaken. what were your impressions? >> well, i recently had senator johnson on the border. these comments that he's making is when i was with him on the border. he got to see first-hand exactly what's going on. frankly, he was extremely surprised that so many individuals were just crossing the border, giving themselves up. they had absolutely no fear. they weren't nervous. they knew exactly what the process was going to be, and what surprised him the most was the number of people from cuba that were entering the country illegally, and so when we talks about congress needing to close the loopholes, he's 100% correct. and frankly, kudos to the president of the united states for putting the blame where it belongs, and that is directly on congress. david: by the way, how do the cubans get from cuba to mexico to come through the border? >> they flew into -- when we were talking with them, senator
7:18 pm
johnson was standing right there as we were talking to the cubans, if i remember correctly, they flew into el salvador and from el salvador they worked their way up through mexico to exactly, it is extraordinary, and this is what's happening throughout the world. it is not just in cuba. we're arresting people from around the world. the message has gotten out that all you have to do is cross our borders illegally, and you will be released. david: it spreads like wildfire, and frankly, i was very happy to see that 60 minutes, part of the mainstream media, got the message and was exposing the message last night. i don't know if you saw the episode they had. they led with it last night, about how porous the border has become and how awful the job of you guys are. there's no way you can put order into that chaos. however, during the course of that piece, they actually mentioned the fact that there's virtually nothing you can do. you come in.
7:19 pm
they release you, and that's it. i mean, that was -- messages like that get through to the immigrant community, and that's why we're getting tens of thousands of people here. >> well, david, 60 minutes and mainstream media can no longer put their head in the sand because of people like you that continually shine a spotlight on this issue. and when this issue gets back to the american public, and they know the facts, they are outraged that we have these asylum loopholes, that we have these broken immigration policies, that borders are in fact so porous, again, by shining that spotlight on the issue, we can actually come up with the solutions to secure the border and that's what the american public has demanded time and time again. david: let's talk about the cartels and how they -- well, they haven't abandoned drugs. they are still putting the drugs in, but they are finding out that there's a pretty penny to be made by transporting human flesh, human capital, thousands of dollars per immigrant.
7:20 pm
i mean, these people have collected a lot of money, that must have taken them months if not years to do that and then they are giving it to cartel members who take them across the border. what percent of the people that cross the border are being shepherded by cartel members? >> everyone. >> wow. >> criminal cartels control all facets of crime on the border. you do not cross the border illegally unless you pay the cartels. albeit, in illegal business, criminal cartels are in fact a business. they require profits, and those profits have to be higher than the expenses that they pay. and so when they're recruiting these individuals, and they go as far as cuba, when they're recruiting these individuals, they let them know up front that that charge they are going to have to pay. these people save for years to put this money in the cartels. and frankly, it is the liberal policies that allow these cartels to continue to run a
7:21 pm
profitable organization like they do. david: yeah. >> unless the liberals actually step up, the far left, if the far left doesn't step up, we're going to continue to put vulnerable children, vulnerable women, in the hands of these very dangerous cartels, and frankly, that's what disgusts me the most. it's -- this isn't rocket science. this could be solved very easily, but it is going to take congress to step up to the plate. david: it's gone on for so long. thank goodness, finally "60 minutes" and some people at "the new york times" caught on. had they opened their eyes a year ago, we could have done things like build a wall back then that would have been more discouraging to the people who have come here by the tens of thousands. very quickly, fake families and fake minors. that was something that twouchzed on in that piece -- that was something that was touched in that piece last night. that's a particular concern to you. very quickly. >> oh, it is. i live this. i actually patrol the border, so i have to see the human suffering that's involved in
7:22 pm
this. when i see people like francis o'rourke talking about modern day bondage, it makes me very upset because he's not actually patrolling the border seeing exactly what this suffering is. the fact is, if people like francis o'rourke would have stood up and would have passed laws when he was in congress, then we wouldn't have this problem. we need to elect proper officials that are going to do what's right by the american public. david: brandon judd, i can't say it enough, thank you for your service. you are doing a great service for the country. i know it is a thankless job many times, but we rely on you. thank you for being here as well. >> thank you. david: well, incredible video tonight of an exploding truck at an arkansas drive-through. the truck was carrying a 100 pound propane tank when it pulled up to a burger king on friday afternoon. an alert worker notice the tank was leaking and told the driver who got out quick, out of the
7:23 pm
truck to inspect the tank, that's when the explosion happened. the driver survived, but he did have to be treated for first degree burns. coming up next, the many dems running for office share one thing, they all continue to sell policies that ignore any semblance of economic reality. >> we will ensure that we're at net zero green house gas emissions by the year 2050. >> when we talk about the right to vote, that right should exist to people who are currently in jail. we need to raise the minimum wage. >> -- a right, not a privilege. >> good for you, but here's the deal, when you make it big, 2 cents so that everybody else gets a chance to make it in america. david: boggles the mind. we will take all that up after the break with ed rollins and michael goodwin. stay with us. sir, you're a broker. what do you charge for online equity trades? uh, i'll look into it. (phone rings)
7:24 pm
lisa jones! lisa: (on phone) hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades? (nervous chuckle) lisa: and do i get my fees back if i'm not happy? like a satisfaction guarantee? ugh. schwab! lisa: oh right, i'm calling schwab. thanks, carl! wait, lisa! lisa... are you getting low costs backed by a satisfaction guarantee? if not, talk to schwab. a modern approach to wealth management. rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. it can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function.

david: president trump's
7:28 pm
economic policy winning over america's money managers, according to barron's latest big money poll, 67% think president trump will win the presidency in 2020. only 28% said a democrat candidate has a shot at the white house. well, campaign manager for president trump's 2020 campaign revealing how he plans to help the president win reelection in 2020. >> plan on also being in minnesota very soon. i think new mexico is in play in 2020. i think new hampshire. i think we continue to grow the map. i think nevada. you know, even colorado, and so those are states we did not win in 2016. i think they are open for 2020. david: in three of those states, he listed unemployment numbers that have gone down significantly since november 2016, all thanks to president trump's soaring economy. joining me now is former reagan white house political director and fox business political analyst the dean ed rollins. >> thank you. david: and new york post
7:29 pm
columnist and fox business contributor michael goodwin. such riches i have never had as one sat this is wonderful. michael, first to you on -- i know you don't have a lot of sympathy for democrats but you think of what they don't have. they don't have the economy to sell because it is doing so well, and all they offer is spending -- growing the government, spending more of the money from the private sector. they don't have immigration. they lost on that issue. even the new york times admits that. even "60 minutes" admits that. they don't have mueller anymore. he's gone. what do they have to offer the voters? >> i wouldn't tell them that mueller is gone. they think they are just getting started on mueller. but i believe you make a good point, david, in that what would seem to be the bread and butter, sh -- bread and butter issues of the opposition party don't look so fruitful right now because of the success the president is having on the economy, how their immigration plans really which amount to open borders, that doesn't look so hot right now, given the numbers coming
7:30 pm
through. david: they obstructed the president's plans to stop the immigration crisis or at least curtail it by building a wall. >> and they've voted against every one of his economic initiatives, including the tax cut. but on the other hand, i mean, we know that president trump is not popular with a large part of america, and that there will be lots of money for the democrats candidate when they finally get a nominee. i believe it will be a close election. david: but ed, they are trying to win back -- at least joe is, joe biden is trying to win back the middle class voters that they lost in 2016. and frankly, when you think of the fact the economy is better now as a result of four years -- or three years of trump, that the immigration crisis is worse as a result of obstructionism from the democrats, i don't think there's any way they win them back, do you? >> i ran this campaign. this was the mondale versus reagan campaign in 1984.
7:31 pm
david: been there, done that. >> the message we had why would you want to go back to obama policies when you have very successful economic policies? and biden's out there today basically giving a speech that mondale could have given in 1984, going before labor unions talking about how we're going to make america better using the same kinds of slogans. those workers out there know the economy is better. they know there's jobs they didn't have before and better wages. my sense is they have a tough task ahead of them. equally as important to have the older -- i'm an older man myself, you know biden and these others are -- how are they going to reach the young people? the young people want something different. david: but what mondale didn't have is a socialist wing of the democratic party. >> that's right. david: in order to win the nomination, he still doesn't have it sewn up, he has to push to the left between now and the convention. >> no question about that. he can do his botox and do all the plastic surgery and his new hair-do and what have you, but at the end of the day, he can't get a new brain. he's trapped in his old -- david: even on tragedies, like
7:32 pm
the shooting in the synagogue over the weekend, the democrats come out with false narratives, or immediately kamala harris and some others were saying this just shows you that, you know, people follow trump's hatred and eventually commit massacres like this, when the first sentence of this crazy nut's manifesto was how much he hates donald trump for being pro-jew and pro-israel, so i mean even there they have lost the narrative. >> they are doing this now because they are assuming that the democratic base hates trump as much as they do and will swallow anything as long as you say it's trump's fault. if you say it's trump's fault, the rest of the sentence doesn't matter. that's what they want to hear, but, you know, for the general election, it's going to be a harder sell. you're going to have to find other things. now, events may happen that will give them something. but if the economy keeps going, they are going to have to find some issue to peel away some of
7:33 pm
those working class voters because i think they're not the people who hate trump. they may not like him, but to the extent the people are doing better, that their paychecks are fatter, it's not likely that they are going to turn against the president who delivered that economy. >> and people realize that every time they talk about we're going to shift tax burden. we're going to raise taxes on billionaires and millionaires. every time you raise taxes, it comes back to the working guy again. he will get stuck -- david: the other thing -- i know people don't pay as much attention as they should on spending but every one of the economic policies of these democrats starts with a t, trillions. >> crazy. david: it used to be, you know, scary to start with a b, but now it is a t. we just had o'rourke's 5 trillion dollars green plan. i mean, it's -- i don't think -- i'm wondering if the electorate will take these trillion dollars boon doggles seriously. >> when you are sitting there with a trillion dollars shortfall right now and a 4.75 trillion dollars budget and
7:34 pm
you're talking about adding 2 or 3 of that a year -- david: very quickly, new york times ran a political cartoon that harkened back to the 30's nazi propaganda, they had to withdraw it. they have apologized for it. how did that ever get past the editors >> yeah, i mean, i'm guessing that this was in their international edition, and it was drawn by a cartoonist in i believe portugal. it was published in a portuguese newspaper, i think what it really reflects is the anti-semitism in europe which is so prevalent, that sort of thing, and the times worker may have been in europe himself. but they may have done another one too. there's something circulating -- david: but for all the talk, all the loose talk about the president being anti-semitic, despite all of his connections to israel, etc., you eve got this -- you've got this? >> it would only happen because the new york times hate donald
7:35 pm
trump and hates netanyahu. absent that -- it fits their narrative. it just went too far even for them. david: michael goodwin, ed rollins, great to see you both. thank you very much. deputy attorney general rosenstein heading for the commit doors at the department of justice. judicial watch's tom finton joins me with more right after these quick messages. each day justin chooses to walk. at work... and after work. he does it all with dr. scholl's. only dr. scholl's has massaging gel insoles that provide all-day comfort. to keep him feeling more energized. dr. scholl's. born to move. we see two travelers so at a comfort innal with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com". who glows?

lou dobbs. some headlines we're look at tonight islamic state leader al baghdadi resurfacing in a new video for the first time in nearly five years. he states that the easter bombings in sri lanka were retaliation for his group's defeat in syria. pentagon officials say the office of director national intelligence is analyzing the video. former deputy attorney general sally yates, and obama administration holdover fired by president trump for refusing to enforce his travel ban is now weighing in on obstruction. >> been a prosecutor for nearly 30 years, and i can tell you, i personally prosecuted obstruction cases on far far less evidence than this. and yes, i believe if he were not the president of the united states, he would likely be indicted on obstruction. david: and the current deputy attorney general rod rosenstein submitting his resignation today, which will be effective may 11th. rosenstein ending a turbulent two-year term wrote to president trump saying quote i'm grateful
7:40 pm
to you for the opportunity to serve for the courtesy and humor you often display in our personal conversations. and for the goals you set in your inaugural address, patriotism, unity, safety, education and prosperity. joining me now is judicial watch president tom finton. good to see you. it went both ways this wonderful effusive language, attorney general barr gave him a lot of -- a big thank you letter, big hug, but you think of everything he did with the mueller investigation, you wonder whether he deserved it all. >> yeah, i didn't see anything in the letter about discussions about using the 25th amendment to illicitly remove him or trying to wear a wire in the oval office, the discussions there, to try to entrap him. and then as you know, as we discussed, appointing in the same breath that special counsel to harass him for two years and allowing all these abuses to take place, targeting trump and
7:41 pm
people around him. while at the same time, protecting the clinton obama people who are -- david: great point. >> and certainly protecting hilary clinton silence from doj on her e-mails despite pleas for someone to do something in light of the sham investigation that was proven -- the sham investigation of mueller and this attorney general lynch. david: he was standing over the shoulders of mueller all the time. i mean, didn't he sign off on the fisa warrants which used such extraordinary information, such as, came from the trump dossier, stuff that was totally unverifiable, that has now been proven by the mueller report itself to be not true, but that was used and he signed off on it being used for those fisa, those warrants? >> yeah, that's right he signed off on the final warrant application that we know about, the renewal in the middle of
7:42 pm
2017, after mueller was appointed, so obviously that was benefitting mueller's operation as well. david: yeah. >> i think sally yates who you talked about signed off on one of them when she was deputy attorney general. remember, sally yates was the rod rosenstein of the obama justice department. so -- david: yeah. >> you know, rod rosenstein was never questioned on any of this in any substantial way. he resisted oversight from congress. he thought like many justice department deep staters that the justice department was unanswerable to much anyone, congress, certainly not the president and certainly not the american people. the doj -- stone wall fell down around the doj even worse than under obama when rod rosenstein came to town. david: now you have a lot of reports focusing, hopefully like a laser beam an some of those problems that -- on some of those problems that you just outlined. you have the report that's coming in. i guess that will focus on fisa
7:43 pm
that we were just talking about. you have the inspector mr. horowitz coming out with his report and you have the attorney general with his own investigation. so of course rosenstein was around for mueller. he won't be around for these. do you think he might be implicated in any of these? >> well, certainly, i do want to know about this coup effort, and attorney general barr needs to focus on the role of mr. rosenstein in the approval of mr. mueller's special counsel operation despite not only rez rosenstein's conflicts but mueller's conflicts of interest. he was talking with andrew mccabe who was fired for misconduct wearing a wire on the president of the united states in an oval office. there was dispute as to whether he was quote joking or not, but again why doesn't congress question mr. rosenstein, i hope it is a new day at the justice department that the veil will be lifted and these documents as the president seemingly has promised will begin to be released and declassified
7:44 pm
certainly on the fisa warrant applications portions of which are still classified and many believe the portions that are still hidden show more deep state corruption targeting and abusing president trump. david: very quickly, i want to make a pivot to attorney general barr and the request so far to have him appear in front of jerry nadler's committee. do you think he will be a no-show? >> i think he will show up because the democrats will back down from having their lawyers question him. it's pretty clear they are afraid of him. otherwise they wouldn't have to rely on counsel to ask the attorney general. attorney general barr blew the mueller report out of the water, in terms of its -- i think what it was designed to do which was to smear trump. he saw right through that and said no, no collusion. oh you want to play games on obstruction? i will tell you the story on obstruction, the facts and the evidence and the law don't justify any obstruction charges here. and then of course he blew -- then he blew the lid off of the spy gate scandal by
7:45 pm
acknowledging spying took place targeting president trump's campaign. so no wonder the democrats don't want to question him directly. they want to use lawyers. i'm not afraid of lawyers questioning witnesses, as some seem to suggest, but it's -- i think very interesting that after years of questioning, why did they let the members question the witnesses? why don't they just have competent lawyer do it? the democrats want to do it for the first time with attorney general barr. david: i think you are right, they are afraid of him. he knows his way around washington bureaucrats and washington politicians like nobody else. tom, thank you very much for being here. coming up next, president trump's america first agenda, bringing in more foreign investment. we will take that up and how it plays in the 2020 race with trump's campaign mark water and the rnc's liz harrington. stay with us. -we bought a house in a neighborhood with a lot of other young couples. then we noticed something...strange. oh, could you, uh, make me a burger?
7:46 pm
-poof -- you're a burger. [ laughter ] -everyone acts like their parents. -you have a tattoo. -yes. -fun. do you not work? -so, what kind of mower you got, seth? -i don't know. some kid comes over. we pay him to do it. -but it's not all bad. someone even showed us how we can save money by bundling home and auto with progressive. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents. but we can protect your home and auto. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents. they feel like they have to drink a lot of water. patients that i see that complain about dry mouth, medications seem to be the number one cause for dry mouth.
7:47 pm
dry mouth can cause increased cavities, bad breath, oral irritation. i like to recommend biotene. biotene has a full array of products that replenishes the moisture in your mouth. biotene definitely works. it makes patients so much happier.

david: big news at the trump rally, over the weekend, the president announcing japanese prime minister shinzo abe making a huge commitment and investment in american manufacturing. listen. >> i said listen, we've got to do something. 68 billion dollars in trade losses over the last four or
7:50 pm
five years. a year. so we're renegotiating. and by the way, he started by saying that he's putting 40 billion dollars into the united states for new car factories. toyota is coming in with 14 billion [applause] [cheers] >> many many companies are coming in. david: joining me now is mark lotter director of strategic communication for the trump 2020 campaign and former press secretary to vp pence and liz harrington rnc spokesperson and former washington free beacon writer. great to see you both. mark, first to you, we have gone through a lot over the past two and a half years in terms of the president readjusting, ripping apart, trying to put back together again some of these trade agreements that were very negative for american workers, american companies, etc. it all seems to be coming together. this guy has great timing. i mean, timing is everything in television and politics and business, and he's done all three. but we have japan coming together. there's also an agricultural deal with japan that i think
7:51 pm
we're going to be hearing about in the next couple of days. the usmca seems to be coming together now. the mexico canada deal. and the big daddy is going to be china, when it comes through, and that might be very close to the election. so all these things are going to accrue to make the economy even stronger than it has been. don't you think? >> absolutely. it's hard to believe that the economy can grow even more, but the president has said he's going to do it, and he will. the great thing is it's good for american workers. i mean this is a president who ran in the industrial midwest saying he was going to get rid of nafta, that was shipping our jobs overseas, bringing our jobs back to the midwest, back to america. we see it working. we see unemployment at historic lows in pennsylvania. we see auto manufacturing jobs coming to michigan, to kentucky and everywhere else. these are the reasons why president trump was elected in the first place. he's delivering. david: liz, this brings me to joe biden and his rally today, his first rally of the 2020
7:52 pm
campaign, still not the nominee, but if he is, how does he, even with his so-called blue-collar credentials, how does he compete with that? that's why so many people blue collar people came over to work for trump, to vote for trump, to be a part of trump, and he's delivered on his promises. you don't want to get rid of somebody like that, right? >> absolutely, biden and the rest of the democrats really are lacking in economic message because the economy is booming, and how do you argue against record low unemployment? how do you argue against 3.2% gdp? and how do you argue against a narrowing trade deficits? all these were promises made and promises kept by president trump, and joe biden can have his announcement in pittsburgh where actually the unemployment rate just dropped to its lowest level since the early 70s. if you can believe it, that was even before joe biden was in the senate. david: right. and as the president points out in his economic advisors point
7:53 pm
out, it is the blue-collar progress that's more important to them than the white-collar progress. the corporations are doing great. they had their corporate tax cut. but the blue-collar workers, the wages going up, the job opportunities that have never existed like this before, it makes me wonder again what the democrats try to put forward, marc, what are you going to be facing from the democrats that is something that you won't just have to flick away? >> well, the democrats have made it clear that they are just basing their campaign on lies. we saw it today. we saw it in the launch earlier this week. whether they are lying about what the president said at charlottesville. they are lying today about the economy. let's look at the record. over the eight years of obama, 50,000 people lost their manufacturing jobs in pennsylvania. the president is adding manufacturing jobs, a half a million of them so far. 5,000 of those are in pennsylvania. if you want to look at the rhetoric, or you want to look at the results, the president's got
7:54 pm
the results. all of the democrats have is just empty rhetoric. david: and liz, no matter who becomes the nominee, they are going to tick off a whole bunch of people that didn't get to be the nominee. that is if bernie doesn't get it, if it's biden, all these after what happened in 2016, there's a big chunk of the party that's going to be very upset, very quickly. go ahead. >> yeah, absolutely. and one more thing about joe biden and back when he was in charge, and actually had power, as vice president in 2014, quote, he said workers are getting screwed. well, they aren't anymore. [laughter] david: that's for sure. liz, marc, great to see you both. thank you for coming in. appreciate it. >> you bet. david: coming up next, america's growing frustration with the pc police. we will explain when we come back. all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell.
7:55 pm
fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.
