on. lou: congressman louie gohmert. that's it for us tonight. tomorrow john solomon and michael pillsbury among our guests. thanks for joining us and good night from new york. ♪ trish: first i was collusion, then obstruction and now we're apparently in a constitutional crisis. the left decembe desperately tro change the narrative as this becomes increasingly evident that you know what, the tables have turned on them. we've learned that the inspector general is looking into a piece of opposition research, yeah, the one paid for by the dnc and hillary clinton campaign was used as evidence to spy on the trump campaign. new intel on that just second away. and president trump vowing to stay tough on china as critics warn raising tariffs on chinese goods is om going to hurt america. what if i told you the critics

shouted the same doomsday narrative every time that the president played hardball with china. news flash. the economy didn't crash. in fact it's soaring. i predict we can handle it. one california restaurant adding a side of politics to its menu. guess what happened. it backfired. details straight ahead. another big show tonight with steve hilton and a whole lot more. "trish regan primetime" begins right now. ♪ trish: sources confirming to us tonight that the attorney general is investigating on how on earth a piece of opposition research bought and paid for by the dnc and hillary clinton campaign was used to spy on an innocent american. we're learning that the

application to get that warrant from the fisa court did not discloses who was funding that research. so no mention of any kind of bias. and we know it was bias, right because it was opposition research bought and paid for by the hillary clinton campaign. the fbi used that, never bothered to verify it, presented it to a judge as though it was their own research and got that warrant to spy an a on an ameri. i don't care what party you're in or which way you lean. i don't care how much you hate donald trump and love hillary clinton or vice versa. this is malpractice at best. malpractice on behalf of our very own fbi. i mean, think about it. we know that the fbi used unverified opposition research to get a fisa warrant. they never verified it, never authenticated it. they never even tried to.

never even tried. this is like me taking some info told to me by, i don't know, the national enquirer or any other tabloid and then regurgitating it to you on air as truth. that would never happen. but you know, i have some integrity. the deep state folks clearly, if this is all true, some do not. and by the way, regardless of how these dots connect, what is true is they never verified opposition research. and that in and of itself is a major problem. because these are things that you don't do. i mean you just don't do if you respect your country, if you respect the people in this country and if you respect our constitution. have some respect, okay, fbi. meanwhile what is especially concerning and perhaps

interesting about james baker's testimony, this is the top lawyer, remember, for the fbi, besides the fact that he never verified anything, what is interesting is that he himself became personally involved in that normally he never would have. let's go to his testimony. i'm going to quote for you. he says, at that pint in time when i was at the fbi most of the fisa, almost all of the fisa applications did not go through me. they didn't go through you? you got to wonder. why did you get involved, mr. baker. why did you get involved with this one. if it was that sensitive, then shouldn't you have checked the sources? was he trying to help take down the trump campaign? was he trying to help them spy on the campaign? he thought if he inserted himself. i'm just asking these questions because they deserve to be answered. all questions tonight deserve to

be answered, this mystery of the deep state spygate is unfold in real time. joining me right now, mr. steve hilton. welcome back. good to see you. >> hi, trish. trish: so i'm going through all of this testimony and things don't add up. they don't add up because i would just like to think -- and i know you're british and all of that. but i would like to think that our american fbi, if they're going to get a fisa warrant to spy on someone that they have actually dotted all of their i's and crossed all of their t's and made sure that all of the research was authenticated by the fbi and not just fed to them, intoed fed by a political campaign. >> that's right. but you know what's really important about what you said tonight was that we're going to now start to see the answers to the very deep suspicions that many people have had for a long time now that it wasn't just a

mistake, it wasn't just incompetence or poor practice. it was part of a plot. it was part of a plot by the national security bureaucracy, the deep state under obama to prevent what they saw as the catastrophe of a donald trump prespresidency. once that happened, to actually try to undermine it. think about the utterly flimsy basis on which the whole russian collusion thing got going. and as a result of that we've had endless investigations, fbi investigations, congressional investigations and of course the massive weight of the mueller investigation. whereas on the other side, where there's far more suspicion, far more grounds for suspicion that there really was something bad going on. there's been nothing. i think half of the country who sees this going on will never think justice has been done until you have the equivalent investigation going on into all of the deep state actors. trish: they have to do it. it is the right thing to do for

our society, for our country. this is a with slippery slope, right, steve? you start spying on one campaign and basically it leads straight into banana republic territory, right, where the party in power is going to mike sure that nobody else ever gets in power. and god forbid they do they're going to make their life a living h- e- l-l and everybody winds up in jill. some of the left, that's where they want to see donald trump. i want to get to don jr. but first to house speaker nancy pelosi who is joining how judiciary committee chairman jerry nadler saying, you know, what, this country is in a constitutional crisis. this is after the committee voted to hold the attorney general barr in contempt. watch this piece. >> this administration wants to have a constitutional crisis

because they do not respect the oath of office that they take to protect and defend the -- to support the constitution of the united states. >> we've talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. we are now in it. we are now in a constitutional crisis. trish: a constitutional crisis of your own making. is this another talking point? >> it's worse than that. it's so cynical. these people are total charlatans. it's not a constitutional crisis. it's ooh political stunt and they know that. they go on and on about wanting the unredacted report. they've had the unredacted report. trish: they haven't head it. >> but they haven't bothered to look at it. they haven't read it. just with the don jr. thing. none of it is about the substance. trish: let me ask you about don jr. >> trying to keep the focus on russia and collusion and the rest of because they can't believe they lost in 2016 and they can't stand the fact that this president is being

successful, especially on the economy. sorry. trish: they can't stand the fact that the tables are turning and they ma be the ones in trouble. let me ask you about the don jr. thing. a lot of people are upset in the republican party, conservatives saying why the heck is he being subpoenaed. why is burr calling him before the senate intelligence committee. i wondered if anybody, and maybe i'm being too optimistic on this, i'm hoping that some people want to do the right thing and they want answers and they want to figure out how all this went down. and you know, there are a lot of people that you would like to talk to. and i'm not saying this is going to point at collusion. i read in the mueller report no collusion. all right? it would be nice in some of the dimms would. however i wonder if donald trump's son could provide some context or any information that's worthwhile in this nfertion, steveinvestigation, sy try to get to the bottom of what

happened. >> i would like for that to be the case but i don't think that's what they're looking at. this is part of the obsession with this story. and they want to keep the whole thing goings. the 0 stensable ground is there's a discrepancy about what michael cohen said in the mueller report and what don jr. said about whether or not he told the president about the meeting. the most important thing is that we know from the mueller report that it wasn't collusion. that's clear. so why are we going on and on into these endless details. trish: i wonder we'll see what kind of tentacles are in which direction. but is there a chance that the so-call russian lawyer looking for better rules regarding adoption who maybe had promised more in the way of the hillary clinton e-mails et cetera, was she somehow connected to the democratic party? i mean did she have connections? these are just questions i would

be curious to know answers to. i don't entirely understand why a republican senate would bring him in like that. i should hope that it's for the right reasons. but i got to tell you, steve, i'm getting sick of it. i really feel like tha there's e bad people out there doing really bad things and it's got to get called out. >> that's exactly right. the whole country is sick of it, other than the really partisan democrats who still can't get over the 2016 election. when you said earlier, you know, one party doing it to the other, the really important thing to remember about that is that when we're talking party here, it's not actually republican or democrat, it's the establishment. the people who feel that they have the right to rule irrespective of who wins the elections, the deep state, comey and clapper and brennon, this arrogant ruling elite who feel that power has been taken away from them by the peasants who supported donald trump and they want their power back. that is totally against

everything america stands for. we've got to fight them and stop it. trish: i hear you. brennon is pedaling the idea that trump is an agent of russia. you're talking about the former head of the cia. it's so despicable because it's as though nobody has any code of ethics and then holier than thou, james comey was h instagram account. don't get me started. >> one last thing, trish. the thing that really makes me angry is every single thing that they accuse the president, undermining democracy, the rule of law, they do that more than anyone. they're the ones who are undermining faith in our institutions by the ridiculous political stunt that they're still carrying on. trish: well said. good to see you and good to catch up. check out steve, he hosts every single sunday "the next revolution" 9 p.m. eastern on fox news channel. remember how some

conservative leaders were harassed at restaurants at the urnl offing democratic leaders like this? [ chanting ]. trish: well, one little california restaurant is now in trouble after pasting the #ftrump on social media. tonight we have the details. also tonight, unemployment at an all-time low and stock market at all-time highs, average americans doing a double take as 2020 democratic candidate amy klobuchar tells fox it's time to roll back president trump's tax cuts. these people don't get it. first remember the media hysteria with trump first started playing hardball with

china on trade. my next guest is saying the market is doing fine and china's feet are finally being held to the fire. it's about timing with right? that's next. don't go anywhere.

. i'm different than a lot of people. i happen to think that tariffs

for a country are very powerful. we're the piggy bank that everybody steals from, including china. we've been paying china $500 billion a year. i don't blame them. i blame or past leadership. trish: yeah. he should. we all should. everybody has allowed this to happen. you look anothe at the chart ane growth in china's economy going back to the clinton years, it's taken off. if they stay on that trajectory, we're going to have a real problem. we've prided ourselves on being the number one economy in the world. president trump saying tariffs, they do work and we've seen his tough tariffs force china to the negotiating table. but the trouble is here, are they actually going to pull the trigger? everyone agrees that making china pay its own share is a good thing. but think about back when the latest round of trump tariffs were in the planning stages and everybody was so worried, they thought the sky was going to fall. remember that sni thatte?

they're saying that now. watch. >> the future is looking very grim right now because, you know what, trade wars lead to bad things happen. >> dow futures are down sharply as concerns rise over a potential trade war. >> this prove is sending u.s. stock plunging. >> does the president not understand how a trade deficit works. >> it looks like the beginning of what people said were coming, a trade war. >> wilbur ross went on to say he was surprised by the market reaction. i would like to make something clear. wilbur ross is lying to the american people. trish: that was back in what year? 2018? okay. so that's what they said. all worried, all worried that things were just going to go south and our economy was going to struggle. in reality, i hate to tell you guys, news flash, market is doing fine. china finally being held accountable.

we've got 3.2% economic growth. i'll take that any day over the 1.5% we got analyzed with barack obama. i love the low unemployment, lowest since 1969 and the best we've seen for women and for minorities. how exactly is china causing us problems? joining me right now, donald luskin. this is the same thing. we're sayin saying the same stu. he's sending us into a trade war, we're never going to ror from this. you'd be surprised. we're a little more resilient aren't with. >> this trade war began 13 months ago and since then the u.s. economy has had three out of four quarters with better than 3% gdp growth. we haven't had that for years and years. stock market is up 11% since this trade war started. chinese stock market is down 10%. so it's one thing to have a

trade war, another thing to win a trade war and we're on our way to winning. the relative performance of the u.s. stock market versus the chinese stock market says we're winning the trade war. and if our tariffs weren't a threat to them, they wouldn't come negotiator. we're holding a gun to their head and those guns are called tariffs. trish: he told me they're a kind of weapon and he loves them. i think that was the quote. he loves them. look. it's great to have economic weapons. i've always said we'd much rather lose dollars than lives. but in this case we're not losinlosing the dollars. don't forget, we're their number winumberone customer. we buy $500 billion plus every year. they buy less than 200 billion from us.

yeah, we take a $200 billion hit or less but who is in charge when they're the number one customer? >> let me explain. this is a little bit of econ geek stuff. i'm going to try. there's a theory in economics and that is when one country puts a tariff against the goods of another country, the currency of the other country goes down. and when the currency of another country goes down, that makes all of their goods and services look cheap to us. the reality is we have put on tariffs so far against china that koithat come out to a ratey year. it has been worth 44 billion to us. when trump says that china is paying the tariffs, i don't know if mexico is going to pay for the wall but china is paying these tariffs. trish: what you said is important because it also counters the argument from the left that oh any goodness, this is going to be a disaster because all of the americans that love to buy cheap stuff at walmart are not going to be able to do it anymore.

and to your point there's a currency calculation that none of them are thinking about. stuff is still going to be cheep at walmart. >> none of these guys are thinking about that because none of these guys are thinking ksh good to see you. we'll see if the tariffs take effected a midnight tonight. coming up, the democrats urging the harassment of conservative leaders at any time, any place, even when a conservative is out eating privately at a restaurant with their family. well one liberal california restaurant, liberal restaurant is now no trouble after posting a vile disgusting anti-trump comment on social media. details when we return. introducing the first-of-its-kind

2020 democratic candidate, amy says she rolled back trumps tax

cuts. upcoming government should get all the money. she's worried, raising taxes and slows economic growth. >> are you concerned that if you dial those things back, he will put the brakes on the economy? >> first of all, you got to look at the introductory we've been on. this all didn't just happen when trump got elected. i think that bill was tilted too far to help the wealthy. >> helping the wealthy. yet again. a lot of the wealthy is not living in places like new york and california, places that have very high taxes. local income taxes anymore from federal income taxes. helping you. helped at all by this. you have clinton out there, she's still on the circuit, still insulting the president at

every turn. watch. >> we'll see whether it's the rule of law or rule of trump. that the republicans in the congress and courts are going to abide back. i can't tell you can hear what the answer will be. i am very worried about what the answer will be. >> you better worry about that because last i checked, he can't sell any tickets anyway. hillary clinton and democratic candidate, two major democrat after seemingly attacking donald trump for the sake of attacking him. not really helping the party in the process. joining me now, trump 2020 national johnny, good to see you both. >> i don't know what gets them.

people care about having a job and taking care of their loved ones and knowing they have a job, their friends have jobs in their children can have jobs. the economy -- it's the economy, it really is. yet, this woman who's running for president is so illiterate when it comes to the study of economics that she thinks to get rid of all of these tax cuts. >> she's misleading the american people. living in a fairytale. we were not on economic upswing in the obama years. we emerged 2000 jobs, it wasn't worth economic recovery in modern history. what changed that? tax cuts. deregulation. that fueled the biggest pay cuts we seem in a decade. growing twice as fast. democrat told the american people alike. he said tax cuts would never benefit them. four. economy has never been better. "wall street journal" said today 70% of economy are saying wages

will grow even faster. they are being exposed. the wonderful things to see. you can study it in an economic one on one textbook and see it in real life. i'm here to tell you, tax cuts work. what you think about this? still struggling to sell tickets right now, but she's been attacking the president repeatedly on that. why? >> hillary clinton lost the presidential election in 2016. i'm prepared to move on from that. i don't know i weigh in on her to her or whatever the clintons are doing, bottom line -- >> doesn't hurt the party? >> i don't think hillary is the best representative for the democratic party. i think the thing she has to s say, checking the executive

branch, i think is a point to be made here. i didn't see the whole tour so i can't give too many details. >> apparently that little together clip was not from her to her. it going the same thing. she blames donald trump, she thinks somehow russia stole the election. there's a narrative that continues to get some there. i would say that you are right, adam, you are right. the democratic party wants to have any kind of shot at success, they shouldn't be clinging to some of those, if they are clinging there. i would say joe biden had a shot but then he came out and said the ridiculous things about china not being a threat, he seems to not realize it's no longer -- >> it's a gap machine. sloppy joe we call him. every day there's something new. then saying illegal immigrants are entitled to health care, that the american people on getting the health care they deserve. they are getting better under the trump administration,

finally coming off because of trump and the cost coming down. the president trump. >> is getting healthcare, this is crazy. china being threat, he's so out of touch. sloppy joe needs to back away. >> i thought he might have some appeal among some people in the country but then he made the comment, he seems to believe it. i think his days are numbered. i will leave it there because of time. some democrats of conservative and public. >> everybody. in a restaurant. you get out and do it. >> the one liberal california restaurant in deep trouble after posting #x trump.

(laughter) when it comes to type 2 diabetes, are you thinking about your heart? well, i'm managing my a1c, so i should be all set. right. actually, you're still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. even if i'm taking heart medicine, like statins or blood thinners? yep! that's why i asked my doctor what else i could do... she told me about jardiance. that's right. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and known heart disease. that's why the american diabetes association recommends 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. still nervous about buying uh-oh, la new house.meone's is it that obvious? yes it is. you know, maybe you'd worry less if you got geico to help with your homeowners insurance. i didn't know geico could helps with homeowners insurance. yep, they've been doing it for years. what are you doing?

counterattacking, using this, his secret police, kgb, or the germany or even the obama fbi. the same kind of thing for they go after hugh and now they have arrested the number two official beneath -- >> to stop from getting wide-open, they are going for significant players down there. now they got the head of the assembled. they have not targeted him himself. why do you think that is? >> they have targeted him and he's confirmed, they've harassed him and persecuted him, trying to get him to flee the country. he's showed that he was a leader. i think that's a very important asset for the struggle for

democracy and venezuela and president trump as well. i've listened to her centerpiece, i want to say that i think that deep down, this suspicion that trump knows this is going to be a tough task in venezuela. the main not be any quick fixes for this problem. i think administration right now is doing what they have to and that is redoubling its efforts to try and find new ways to move forward. >> it's interesting you bring that up. he recognizes the challenge it is, at the same time, it may not be as hard as it looks. one of our guest recently said, let's play this because just last week, i spoke to secretary of state pompeo and 24 hours later, talked to the president of the u.s. about venezuela. they had different views on

exactly how all this went down. >> maduro intended to leave ready and the russians make clear at this time. >> pompeo told me yesrday that maduro is ready to leave. packed up and ready to go but the russians stopped him. >> if s the case, it's not acceptable. you hear a lot of different rumors, rumors that he was leaving a different way. i'm hearing rumors about russia and a lot about cuba. >> i think he's onto something there on the cuba but let me ask you, he characterized secretary of state mike pompeo's comments to me as rumors, does that suggest that maybe he's not totally buying into everything that pompeo and others are

saying? >> i can't speak to that directly but i think we know that like with any boss, the boss will ask tough questions and things are going exactly according to plan. that's what we have been seen of late. it's been reported in the press and think it's completely natural and hopefully constructive for finding new ways forward. with regards to yes policy. >> i'm fascinated because in typical politics and administration, everyone is on the same page. they get their talking points and they don't deviate from those talking points. it's pretty clear to get the president on the phone like that for an interview. that in and of itself was different. generally, he's speaking his own mind there. so he has his set of things that others have their sense of things but i find it is very interesting that he is on one page and not necessarily everybody else is on that page. >> the enemy go always gets a

vote. the number one rule of combat is that the first reporter is always wrong. as we filter information coming up from the tarmac, perhaps there was some effort to get there, perhaps he was there but at the same time, we don't know and we are filtering through all of that. i think what the u.s. needs to do and the president is doing is being very consistent in his application of the elements and national power to make sure we are supporting him and rallying the nations around the world to support him and the effort to have freedom and democracy and venezuela and to eventually maduro. that's the president's task. i think he is being consistent about it. >> he sure is. he said right here on this show, to me, this is something he

focused on from the beginning and he wants that freedom. that opportunity for prosperity there in venezuela, i do believe his administration, again, i'm not quite sure the logistics on how it all goes down in the coming weeks but it will happen. it really will. the people will have the freed freedom. it's great to have you, welcome to the show. thank you. conservatives at restaurants, now calls a boycott against one california. after posing a picture, dish with #x trump. >> what are key takeaways from this commercial? >> did any of youe here? >> i like that as it is? -i've seen violence. -maybe we turn the word "bundle" into a character,

like mr. bundles. -top o' the bundle to you. [ laughter ] bundle, bundle, bundle. -my kids would love that. -yeah. you might or joints.hingle. for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

breaking right now, talks between advisors and chinese part of parts have concluded for the evening, no deal. china stopped trade. trying to work something out, in a few hours, it will go into effect on $200 billion worth of chinese goods. we had been charging 10%, now it's 25%. interestingly, the market is up. without on trading more than 100
