lou: good evening, everybody. for more than two years, the radical dems have done their worst, spewing constantly the worst they could imagine about our president, creating false and vile narratives while carrying out a conspiracy to block out only the trump agenda but through their efforts and constant barrage of lies by the radical dems, the deep state and the complicit left wing national media they sought to overthrow the presidency of donald trump. and now, those same radical dems brimming with evil and venom dripping from their lying mouths are attacking the attorney

general of the united states. >> he lied to congress. if anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime. nobody is above the law, not the president of the united states, and not the attorney general. being attorney general does not give you -- to go say whatever you want. >> attorney general barr's performance in yesterday's judiciary committee hearing was abysmal. raising all types of questions about his willingness to be a faithful steward of the law >> this attorney general lacks all credibility and has i think compromised the american public's ability to believe that he is a purveyor of justice. >> should he resign? >> yes. lou: the radical dems of the house and the senate and the house judiciary committees somehow believe for some reason that they can get away with more lies, more viciousness, more disregard for law, for basic

civility, and so they target the attorney general. the dems have made a serious miscalculation. attempting to intimidate, to coerce, to try to destroy attorney general barr will likely result in serious penalty and pain for those radical dems. already the truth of the past two and a half years is taking clear shape in the public eye. the lies, the deceit, yes, the treachery of the radical dems becomes clearer with each passing day. and this breaking news tonight, indications that the obama fbi did in fact spy on the trump campaign in 2016. we take up what is clearly the carefully constructed left wing conspiracy against the trump presidency and the collapsing tower of lies and deceit of the left, the democratic party itself. we take all of this up with an

all-star lineup. alex vogel, tammy bruce, ed rollins, fred flights, among our guests. and all the while, president trump standing up for the american people and keeping the promises he made in 2016. his polling is strengthening with seemingly every passing day. new polling shows president trump's approval on the economy hitting a record high. american productivity booming in the first quarter of this year. the highest rate of gain in productivity in the past decade. the trump america first agenda is working, and even some of the president's worst enemies and enemies of the state are beginning to acknowledge the president's forward strides for the nation, for the economy. former congressman jason chaffetz, trump 2020 campaign press secretary, kaylee mcinany among our guests tonight.

the obama era fbi was spying on the presidential campaign. the new york times reporting that a woman posing as an assistant to fbi informant steven halper was sent to london in sent 2016 to meet with former trump campaign advisor george papadopoulos. that woman in reality was an undercover intelligence operative of the fbi. and according to the times report, she is said to have directly asked papadopoulos if the trump campaign was working with russia. the deep state is reportedly scrambling tonight, desperately trying to get their stories straight and get it out ahead of internal inspector general and justice department investigations. the attorney general william barr says the justice department's inspector general is expected to wrap up his investigation into the fbi's

actions during the trump campaign by next month. the radical dems on the house judiciary committee have a lot more to worry about than their own peculiar and pathetic performance today. they turned today's hearing into a circus, after william barr decided not to appear to be interrogated by their staff. for more on that, and the white house response to the mueller report, we turn to our chief white house correspondent, john roberts. >> an empty chair, a bucket of the colonel's finest and a ceramic chicken, the scene at the house judiciary today as democrats marked attorney general bill barr's no-show and slammed president trump. >> he's trying to render congress inert, as a separate and co equal branch of government. the challenge we face is that if we don't stand up to him together, today, we risk forever losing the power to stand up to any president in the future. >> but republicans on the

committee accused chairman nadler of turning the hearing into a political spectacle by insisting staff attorneys be allowed to question barr. >> we go back to a circus political stunt to say we want it to look like an impeachment hearing because they won't bring impeachment proceedings. >> in her weekly news conference house speaker pelosi took a shot at barr for telling the house committee back on april 9th he knew nothing about the complaints of the mueller's team about his summary of the mueller's reports findings. mueller had sent a letter to barr two weeks earlier outlining his concerns. >> he lied to congress. he lied to congress. >> before the senate yesterday, barr insisted he was answering a question about mueller's team and not mueller himself. in a statement, the doj slammed pelosi. the spokeswoman saying speaker pelosi's baseless attack on the attorney general is reckless, irresponsible, and false. the house minority leader said today democrats need to move on. >> i think it is time to stop

wasting this majority and actually get something done for the american public. >> but the white house isn't letting the mueller report go. in a letter to the attorney general, obtained by fox news, white house special counsel emmett flood ripped the report as a political document because mueller didn't make a decision on obstruction, but talked in detail about it. the letter was sent the day after the mueller report was released. flood writes, the special counsel and his staff failed in their duty to act as prosecutors and only as prosecutors. and called the report a prosecutorial curiosity, part truth commission report and part law school exam. the letter lays the foundation for president trump to keep aides and documents away from congressional committees, even though he did not assert executive privilege over the mueller report. flood writing his, the president's decision not to assert privilege is not a waiver of executive privilege for any other material or for any other purpose and does not affect his

ability as president to instruct his advisors to decline to appear before congressional committees. all of this could well end up in court. the white house points to a 2014 department of justice opinion that senior officials at the white house are immune from complying with subpoenas. but then there is a 2008 federal judge who said they do have to comply with subpoenas. so if this ever ends up in court, it could come down to a coin flip. at the white house, john roberts, fox news. lou: and turning now to our first guest, alex vogel. the ceo of the vogel group, former chief counsel, the senate majority leader bill frist, the national republican senatorial committee and former deputy counsel for the republican national committee. alex, first of all, good to have you with us. this is quite a spectacle to the whole nadler, cohen, on the judiciary committee, talking about lying. they are the ones who have been

lying for two and a half years, attacking this president, lying to the american people, day in and day out, non-stop. what a spectacle to watch today. your reaction? >> it really was incredibly unfortunate. the ranking member was right when he said they really denied both the minority in the committee and the american people a legitimate opportunity to hear from the attorney general who frankly has done both in his senate testimony and i believe in his correct refusal to come in front of the house today has done an admiral job defending the constitutional prerogatives of the executive branch and importantly the office of the attorney general. not only is he right on the presidential issue of whether or not a duly confirmed cabinet member should be questioned by staff instead of members, in what is allegedly at least an oversight hearing. it is not. it is really as was noted kind of a fake impeachment run. but i think he's done an admiral

job -- lou: the design of the radical dems. >> just withering criticism. lou: i look at it as amateurish, evil. it is disgusting conduct on the part of the democratic party on capitol hill, whether in the judiciary committee of the senate or the house. would you disagree with that? >> i don't disagree. i think it reflects very badly both on their party and on the institution generally. this is not the first time we've had contentious issues come up. and this kind of behavior from members, both some of the stunts, like showing up with a chicken and frankly some of the language that was used was ridiculous and beneath the office and beneath the important issues that they are at least pretending to try and discuss. lou: yeah. the issues, the issues are the reality is that the mueller report is conclusive. it has exonerated the president

on the issue of the broad collusion nonsense that was a lie that the mueller report managed to keep alive for these radical dems. it was a political service by bob mueller to the democratic party. that service is at an end. the lies continue, and in fact are being ramped up just a bit here. what should the republican party do in response because mitch mcconnell effectively, the majority leader is silent. we heard from kevin mccarthy, to the majority and to the house speaker was to use your majority, don't waste it. i mean, my god of two years of republican leadership in which that is precisely what the republicans did, they wasted it. >> look, there's no doubt, the democrats in addition to a silly messaging agenda here are going to be shown to be fundamentally wasting what time they have to actually move legislation to help the american people. there's not much of a role in

either the house or the senate to correctly push back on this exercise around the mueller report and the foe indignation and that's why the attorney general as he did in responding to the initial release of the report, appropriately, i believe, has been the one to make the tough choices here. one of the fascinating things about the report itself is it failed to reach conclusions on many issues, and at the end of the day, as a special counsel, not an independent counsel, mr. mueller works for the attorney general, and therefore, it was up to the attorney general to make those tough decisions, and i believe he did. lou: i love what senator cruz said yesterday. it was all about the 19 pages that mueller apparently wanted released a couple weeks, perhaps three weeks earlier, and the attorney general asserting his responsibilities declined to do that, having given, by the way, the illustrious robert mueller the opportunity to review his

letter to begin with. and it was contained within the 448 pages, volumes 1 and 2, of the mueller report. it is just nonsense. it's vile. the deceit by the left is just -- it is mind numbing to watch it continue. >> and i think -- i mean, look, the reality is while we have fake arguments back and forth over whether or not the attorney general properly characterized both a summary in his own private conversations with mr. mueller, the full 400 pages is available for public review, not that that seems to be relevant to the committee. lou: yeah, by the way, i think william barr -- i think his characterization was exact. i think this is just specious nonsense, you know, made up by pelosi and some of the pretend attorneys of the radical dems on that committee.

i think william barr by the way was just brilliant. he operated out without notes. he didn't hesitate in his responses. it was just i thought an absolutely terrific performance by him before the senate judiciary committee. alex vogel, it is great to have you with us. come back soon. >> will do, thank you. lou: thank you. up next the radical dems unravelling after the attorney general decided that he would not indulge them and listen to their attorneys rattle on instead of course the radical dems themselves. >> chicken barr should have shown up today and answer questions. >> we will make one more good faith attempt to negotiate and to get the access to the report that we need, and then, and then if we don't get that, we will proceed to hold the attorney general in contempt. lou: isn't nadler a fraud all

the way? ed rollins joins me. how chinese software, in electronics, in home security systems, baby monitors could leave you vulnerable to hacking and spying. we will have that and much more as we continue. stay with us. i can't tell you who i am or what i witnessed, but i can tell you liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i only pay for what i need. oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no... only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

lou: the attorney general, william barr today snubbed the house judiciary committee, that after the radical dems on the committee came up with a very clever idea. most of the radical dems by the way are attorneys, but they wanted their attorneys to question barr so apparently the members of that committee aren't really very good attorneys. the behavior of committee chair jerry nadler and steve cohen, absolutely vile, nadler and cohen thinking themselves really very cute. they are in fact a disgrace to themselves and the unfortunates who elected them. a new poll by none other than cnn, get ready, hang on, has found good news for and about president trump. according to the cnn poll, are you ready? 56% of americans approve the president's handling of the economy. that is the highest rating cnn said ever. joining us now former reagan

white house political director, fox business political analyst, savant ed rollins. ed, we're looking at the left the never trump left having to acknowledge that he's restored prosperity to all americans. this is truly a remarkable time. >> everyone has done it except the 21 candidates running for president who are basically talking about the days of obama. lou: they have no idea what hit them. they are going to find out. >> they will find out very quickly. lou: 21 candidates. >> there will be more before all is said and done. lou: what is going on? the politico with an article talking about jared doesn't want the campaign to focus on the democrats? >> jared's never been through the campaign. he's the son-in-law of the president. he was kind of an auxiliary in the last campaign. when you have an opportunity to go after your opponent.

particularly today, you don't want a joe biden to go to pennsylvania and other places and reconvince them that he's something that he isn't. so my sense is you hit them when you can. the president is going to do what he's going to do. he does it well. my sense -- lou: he's not following that advice at all, is he? >> my sense is jared can go meet his friends, come up with his middle east plan we're still waiting for and let the president run his campaign. lou: i have to say i think advising this president not to pay attention to the democrats, i mean, this is the greatest campaigner. he pulled off the greatest upset in presidential electoral history, and he's got someone telling him don't attack? i mean, this is his nature. he's brilliant at it. >> and he's basically got them on the run, and every time he does it, he gets attention. the bottom line is joe biden wants to go out there and attack him, he's going to attack back and be far more effective. lou: the dems attacking the attorney general, that's one of

the sorriest display of many sorry displays. isn't it extraordinary that the radical dems, lying through their teeth, i mean, think about mark warner and adam schiff and all the fools that for two and a half years have lied about this president, lied to the american people, tried to overthrow the presidency of donald trump, and then have the temerity to show up in front of cameras like stacked, you know, wood, for their chance to be on television and claim somebody's lying, which is a lie itself. i mean, they lie about lying. >> the bottom line is barr volunteered to go up there because he was going to give them an opportunity to explain -- question him. the members didn't want -- they wanted to have staff -- lou: i'm so proud he told them -- >> i'm glad he did to. if they want to subpoena, go at it. at the end of the day here, he's a gentleman. he's a great attorney general, one of the great ones of all time for the second time. my sense is this guy is going to

fight and protect us across this country from the democrats and from those people who in the deep state basically had a terrible impact on this president the last two years of distracting him, not doing -- lou: you would think that even these idiots on the judiciary committees would have the sense not to attack the man who is going to be leading the investigation of their conduct, of their conspiracy, and that of the deep state to overthrow a president. i mean, their behavior is not only classless and ignorant and vile, but they're being absolutely about as stupid as you could be. >> stupidity is not a disqualifier for being a member of congress, and particularly a member of the judiciary committee, but at the end of the day here, barr will do what needed to be done the last three or four years. i think at the end of the day, these democrats will pay a heavy price. just getting more exposure, the more they are rattling off the

idiotic phrases and showing their total ignorance of the law, this is a judiciary committee and they don't even know the law. lou: they don't know the law. they don't know the english language. >> right. lou: and they have no sense of self, otherwise they would not be lying about lying. >> and they are going to trample themselves all trying to get to a microphone today after the no hearing, there were 20 of them lined up to give their -- lou: i have a feeling -- you know, we haven't heard a lot from various leaders. i think you are going to hear less and less over the coming weeks. ed rollins, great to see you. >> my pleasure, thank you. lou: thanks for being here. a lucky l.a. dodgers fan couldn't escape weal a lot of attention last -- escape well a lot of attention last night. there goes -- oh, no, was that the nachos? what was that? oh my goodness. the popcorn and french fries? at the top of the 2nd inning. another foul ball right to the guy. he fumbled his tray of fries all over the seats. the fan ultimately recovered the foul ball, but that wasn't the end of his night.

one inning later, watch this, watch this -- [laughter] >> another ball. he since decided against fries. he bought himself a slice of pizza as you can see. you know, it was his night for foul balls but he dropped his pizza as well. you know, that was an expensive night. i think he could have picked up those balls for a lot less than what he spent on. anyway. amazing, amazing video. up next, somebody will have to tell the story of my wife going for a ball. when she dove -- i better not. i better not. [laughter] lou: the vice president down plays a threat of one of our biggest military geopolitical and economic adversaries. national security expert fred flights is with us tonight. stay with us. we're coming right back.

lou: well the president calls him sleepy joe. the former vice president and 2020 democratic hopeful on the campaign trail down playing china as a threat to the united states. listen to mr. biden. >> i've met virtually every major world leader in my role as vice president, as foreign relations chairman over the last 30 years. that's not hyperbole. china is going to eat our lunch? come on, man. they are not competition for us. lou: not competition for us. biden apparently forgot about the hundreds of billions of dollars every year that china steals from the united states, or almost 350 billion dollars in trade deficits that we run with china and have throughout our relationship with china. the vice president didn't mention either that his son had

a lucrative 1 1/2 billion dollars equity deal with a chinese state-owned bank, his son hunter that is. we're going to refresh everyone's mind, and i'm sure that other outlets will as well. joining us tonight is fred flights national security expert, president of the center for security policy. fred, great to have you with us. >> hey, lou, good to be here. lou: let's start with china and the former vice president doesn't think it's a competitive threat. it means he hasn't -- he's still out of touch, just like when he was vice president. >> well, lou, i don't know how to put this. look, joe biden has long been regarded as one of the dumbest men in washington and a gaffe machine, and this is why -- and i'm not kidding -- this is why his campaign staff recently were physically blocking reporters from asking him questions because they were worried about gaffes. now, compare this to president trump, who constantly meets with

reporters, takes all their questions, so i think that president trump is really looking forward to getting this guy on the debate stage. lou: i think that he wouldn't mind whether he's running against one of these 21 a trade to be named later or the whole bunch of them. it still won't be a fair fight. i mean, i'm just stunned to think of the quality of what the democratic party has put forward. it is truly just as i was stunned by the republicans that were put forward by the republican party back in 2016. it's going to end the same way. let's turn to china. this is -- we're listening to xi jinping speaking to the chinese youth. we can put these full screens up. this is sort of an interesting i think a couple of expositions by the chinese premier. chinese youth and the new era shall listen to the words of the party and follow the words of

the party. that sounds a little authoritarian. contemporary china, the essence of patriotism is to combine one's love for the country with love for the party and socialism. he's a communist, not a socialist. what's going on here? >> well, this is an authoritarian state, and the chinese government is very serious about it. it wants to rein in its people to support the communist party, to support the chinese state, and china expects its nationals abroad to continue to support the chinese state, to steal technology, to promote the state. they are a formidable adversary, lou. lou: and china, this is based on the 2019 pentagon report. we're taking a look at it, going through comparisons and obviously considerable concern saying that the civilian research could support a strengthened chinese military presence in the arctic ocean

which could include deploying submarines to the region as a deterrent against nuclear att k attac attacks. china now the number one shipbuilding country in the world. the united states, 19th. what are we doing? >> i mean this is another reason why what mr. biden said is so ridiculous. china is obviously a very serious military and political and economic threat. what i was really stunned by this report is what it says about espionage to recruit human assets against the united states, both intelligence officers, state department officers, and ordinary americans, china has a very aggressive program to steal our secrets using american citizens. lou: yeah, the grains of sand approach, all chinese nationals expected to be carrying out espionage. fred, very quickly, venezuela, three days now since guaido called for an uprising. it looks as though there's at

least a loss of momentum, if not an impasse here. what do you expect to happen over the next few days? >> i think maduro will go eventually. it is going to take time. it worries me these people talk about a military intervention. lou: which people? >> well, people in this country, some conservatives. i think military force -- lou: usual nonsense? >> that's right. president trump doesn't want to get in a ground war in venezuela. let's say that very clearly. forces on the table under certain circumstances but this is not what we should be doing there. we have to find other ways, diplomatic ways, economic ways, pressuring cuba and russia and china to stop backing many daughter r -- backing maduro. it worries me too many people talking about a u.s. attack on venezuela. lou: this is the man who wants to bring our troops home.

he's against the fools that have wasted trillions and thousands of and thousands of lives. den -- thousands and thousands of lives. he's not the man to do it again. we

decade behind bars today. think about that. just today. that sentence means that he could be released from prison within days because he's getting credit for the nearly 10 years he's already been in prison cooperating with federal authorities. congressman swalwell outdoing himself. he found a way to stick out from the rest of the radical dems, those 2020 hopefuls. he tweeted this, quote, do you know how many times the word -- is mentioned in the constitution? zero. that is unacceptable, says swalwell. he tweeted women must be equally represented and equally protected. wow. here's the deal, he's right. it doesn't appear in the constitution. and so we want to take up that if we may. i can't believe this.

that the constitution is under such expert analysis by a democrat 2020 hopeful and so young too. joining us to analyze this is tammy bruce, washington times columnist, fox business contributor, great american. >> thank you. lou: my gosh, swalwell has really differentiated himself i think from the pack. >> he sure has. he's clearly presenting himself as the more dumb one than the others. lou: there's a contest. >> that's like the operative word tonight. it's extraordinary because he's right women is not mentioned. they are equal in not being mentioned because men are not mentioned in the document either. we the people -- lou: wait a minute. we've got to start marching now. we've got to march. >> the founders in their brilliance of course knowing the more specific you get, the more if you include something, you exclude. the more specific you get, the more you tie the hands of people who are going to be interpreting

this in the future. broad document with the principles for the founding of a nation, clearly has withstood the test of time, and they knew this would come up. and that's why it is the brilliant document that it is because it can be interpreted by further generations, and that's what we're doing, and so they mentioned people, which includes everyone. lou: oh my gosh. >> i know. what are you going to do? lou: especially when you think about how much smarter swalwell is -- >> oh sure. lou: -- than the mere founders of the constitution. >> if he was only there then, we probably wouldn't be here now. lou: he's a former prosecutor, i believe. yeah. that's sort of interesting because he didn't apparently know that men weren't in it either. that's sort -- >> it is a little scary. it is not a huge document. one can read it. unlike the european union constitution which is hundreds of pages long. lou: let the euros have their problems. >> you can tell how well that worked out for them. lou: yeah, just swell.

that rhymes with swalwell. anyway. speaking -- well, jeb bush comes to mind, i don't know why. he's decided that he doesn't know whether sanctuary cities in florida are actually a problem. jeb bush seems to have a peculiar sense of both timing and topic when he does rear his low energy self. >> well, when you have got low energy, you're going to pretty much choose the democratic talking points because those are simpler. maybe a little easier to remember. we know the bush family actually are really representative of the old democratic party. they've been of course big supporters of the immigration framework and to some degree of open borders in general, but his comment reflected that he in a way didn't believe that there were sanctuary cities in florida. of course, governor desantis is passing a bill that would ban the ability to do that in florida. and there are several cities, including west palm beach that

have policies that act as though they are sanctuary cities, that limit your ability to participate in -- lou: they are a problem. >> they are a problem. lou: we can help jeb out here. they are a problem. >> yeah. and he left himself a back door at the end by saying maybe something's changed over the past few years because well maybe it is that he needs to look up, get a little bit more energy and notice what's been happening and he will be a little bit better informed. lou: oh my gosh. oh my gosh. it's just not fair. i mean, the president of the united states has to contend against these characters, 21 of them now on the democratic side. oh my gosh. >> maybe jeb will run. lou: william weld wants to primary this president. >> i believe mr. weld voted for barack obama. once again gives you an idea of who you are dealing with. maybe jeb bush will run as a democrat. lou: i can hear the drumbeat out there now, jeb, jeb, with

exclamation marks. >> come on, don't forget, lou dobbs, please clap, come on. lou: you are right. that was a memorable moment. thanks. >> my pleasure. lou: up next, a radical member of congress claims america is to blame for violence in venezuela. you will never guess who. our next guest is joining us for the trump 2020 campaign. also jason chaffetz is joining [street noise]

[male narrator] wonder if you should get tested for colorectal cancer? yes. is it really that common? [narrator] it is. of cancers affecting both men and women, it's the second leading cancer killer in the u.s. but, i don't have symptoms. [narrator] it doesn't always cause symptoms, especially early on. so, don't wait. if you're 50 or older, it's time. but it doesn't run in my family. [narrator] most often, colorectal cancer occurs in people with no family history. and think about this. screening helps prevent the disease. really? how? [narrator] screening helps find precancerous polyps so they can be removed. remove the polyp, prevent the cancer. screening helps find colorectal cancer early too. when treatment works best. oh man. that test. [narrator] there's more than one screening test. you have options. talk to your doctor to find the one that's right for you. because colorectal cancer screening really does save lives. [acoustic guitar, birds chirping]

>> it was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something. >> this is not going to be the country of white people. >> -- in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance of foreign countries. lou: radical democrat congresswoman ilhan omar adding to her list of greatest hits, she now says the trump administration is partly to blame for the crisis in venezuela, telling pbs they made it worse through their bullying and applying sanctions against the regime. joining us tonight jason chaffetz, former republican congressman from utah. former house oversight chairman,

author, best-selling author i should point out and fox business contributor. great to have you with us. and trump 2020. presidential campaign national press secretary, good to have you both here. >> thank you. lou: let me start with you. what about omar? why is there no accountability for her remarks? your thoughts? >> there's none. you know, she and aoc are the de facto leaders of the democrat party. everyone falls in line with them. she's -- it is amazing to think this woman is in congress. she's certifiably crazy given the comments that she has made. this is nuts. these comments are anti-american. the notion that we're to blame for venezuela? no, guess what? socialism is to blame, which is what the democratic party perpetuates every day. lou: and their partners russia and china and cuba have been very helpful to them obviously. what do you think, jason? your thoughts on omar and what are the democrats going to do

with her? >> well, look, it's her comments, it's her positions that are so radical. i mean keith ellison used to occupy that seat if i'm not mistaken -- lou: you are exactly right. >> makes him look like he was down right reasonable. she has such a radical disparaging view of the united states of america, i think it is foreign to a lot of us. she was duly elected. i respect her election into that office, but look at what these democrats are doing. i mean, look at the clown show that went on in the judiciary committee today. this is not -- this is what happens when you put nancy pelosi back if in charge. -- back in charge. you get all these kinds of comments with no accountability, nobody pushing back when they go way over the edge. lou: she's pretty radical. she and the radical dems for 2 1/2 years have been lying about this president, conspiring against him, lying about their lies, lying about their conspiracy, and now we're starting to see the truth,

jason. but to see them accusing william barr of lying? they are lying about their lies again. >> i have a theory about this. and it's just a prediction. it's just a prediction. but i really think those that were in the positions of power who are misusing that power are scared to death of the inspector general and attorney general barr, and they are going to do anything and everything to try to disparage this person because they know that they are on to them, that they are on their tail, and they're going to expose the truth of how they misused that power during the obama administration on donald trump. lou: your thoughts? >> jason is exactly right. they are so desperate to deflect from their own political scandal, from the spying that happened in the obama administration. you remember when president trump announced a tweet about obama tapping his wires. now we find out all of that was true. human sources in the trump campaign, wiretapping based on a dossier full of lies, unmasking, the president was right all along. the media outrage was unfounded.

he's been proven right. they are so terrified that they will be exposed. lou: i not only remember that. i remember the national left wing media mocking the president as he said he was being wiretapped. it's extraordinary. jason, your thoughts, this president has put up with so much, and now he's being told as well apparently by jared according to politico that he shouldn't campaign against democrats. he's campaigning hard against them. your thoughts about that counsel to the president? >> i don't believe it, first of all. i believe jared kushner is a very smart person and very loyal to his father-in-law, the president of the united states. and i just don't buy politico. i just don't know that their sourcing is very good. nevertheless, donald trump has found the secret sauce that nobody else is able to replicate, and that is he communicates directly to the people himself. he doesn't need the media to do it. and he will continue to do that, and he's the best we have ever

seen at doing it. lou: i couldn't agree more. kaylee, i expect you won't argue with that. >> no, i don't invest a single bit of credibility in the fake news media. they are so desperate for a story. so i don't believe politico for a second. lou: thank you both. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. lou: by the way, neither do i. baltimore's mayor, she's resigned. investigations of whether she's corrupt and used money from the sales of her self-published children's book to disguise kickbacks. the last time baltimore had a republican mayor by the way 1967. baltimore by the way has had four straight years of population decline, the city's poverty rate amongst the worst in the country. and in chicago, another conflict of interest in kim fox's handling of the jussie smollett case. the cook county judge set to decide whether there should be a

special prosecutor to investigate fox has a son who works in fox's state attorney's office. i don't know why they call that cook county and chicago such a corrupt place, do you? it is unimaginable. up next, president trump weighs in on the deep state's efforts to overthrow his presidency. stay with us. we'll be right back.

lou: president trump today declared he wants an

investigation to origins of federal investigation which led to the mueller witch-hunt. >> how did this whole investigation start? i think it is corrupt as hell, i think what happened between comey and mccabe and brennan, and all of thee these people and strzok and his lover, lisa page. tremendous things people want to find out, they really' to find it out. and i hope they are going to. lou: as do we are, fred fleitz tonight weighing in on the candidate topping democratic feel. >> joe biden has been regarded as one of the dumbest men in washington and a gaffe machine, i am not kidding, this is why his campaign staff were blocking reporters from asking him questions. lou: fred fleitz. this is it for us. tomorrow night. her man cai -- herman cain and r
