lou dobbs up next. ♪. lou: good evening everyone the trump white house today on the offensive siding down congressional radical dems as they continue to carry out their campaign and obstruction on capitol hill. tonight we look at the white house response to the radical dems in the deep date who are stopping at nothing trying to subvert the president and block his policy initiatives. jeff jordan and victoria tensing them a guest tonight, the national security crisis other southern border region on,

illegal immigrants flooding into the country, mexican drug cartel making tens of billions of dollars smuggling illegals and deadly drugs across the mexico border in today the white house has a new plan to secure the border to overhaul immigration policies. lindsey graham also announced a new immigration plan and rather strongly suggested his plan is in competition with the presidents. >> the white house plan is not designed to be a lot of this is designed to become a law. lou: senator graham, we take a look at the broken immigration system, the willingness of the republicans in the radical dems and others, to take up immigration proposals for securing the border. we asked her guest tonight about the chances of success for that

approach. among her guest and ice director, texas lieutenant governor, the great state of texas with us here tonight. in protecting americans against chinese buying, the president taking executive action against actors and technology that has a threat to national security. we take that up and much more tonight with national security expert katie mcfarland. we begin tonight with the radical damn efforts to undermine president trump in the white house that is now fighting back. president trump's counsel today denied house judiciary chairman jerry nadler's demand for document. relating to the collision investigation, if you can imagine, with response to the radical damn activists, he wrote this.

"investigations are intended to obtain information in evaluating potential legislation not to harass political opponents or pursue unauthorized do over of exhausted law enforcement investigations conducted by the department of justice" and on capitol hill, professor jonathan turley warned congress against the harassment of william barr. in demanding more from he released the rejected information in the mueller report. >> i believe that the contempt action of the committee was unfounded. there is no question that he cannot release the whole thing. you're heading into a world of hurt if you vote at the d.c. circuit and argue that you can order bar, that he could unilaterally release. lou: are the radical dems really dumb enough to take the attorney general to court, apparently

chairman natalie may well be just that dumb. we will ask one of the republican leaders in the house of representatives with us tonight. jim jordan, a member of the judiciary committee, ranking member of the house oversight committee, cofounder of the house freedom caucus. good to see you. give the pleasure of sitting on that committee, is your chairman really going to take this to court? >> he probably will, understand what the democratic chairman are doing, the ways and means committee going after the president's tax returns for the past several years, maxine waters and chairman cummings going ten years for the president business records based on the testimony of michael cohen he went to prison last week went to prison for lying to congress. the chairman nadler who the attorney general comply with the subpoena and if you would comply with the subpoena he would be breaking the law, this is how

crazy the democrats have gotten in the effort that they have in attacking the president of the united states. lou: as you say the core data effort, most of us thought it was coronation as there is often on the committees even when they're going after political purposes, trying to further harass the president now that they lost the special counsel. but you are actually demanding more from that the chairman released a memorandum of understanding among the chairman certainly would maxine waters in house financial services? >> yes chairman waters is to understand what chairmanship, chairman cummings, he entered into that without telling the committee, he did not tell me, did not tell republicans, he probably didn't even tell the

democrats on the committee, we want that information public so the iraqi people could see, when you put it in writing, the court needed efforts against the president of the united states, that's what we need to make public, the court talked about yesterday in the court case we think the mega people should be able to see that memorandum so we sent a letter and we sent information.. lou: let me quote part of it, in which congressman jordan says this "i encourage you to release public to the memorandum of understanding chairwoman waters and in the other side or other side of mo use they have entered into so that the american people can understand the extent to which you another democrat chairpersons are engaged in an orchestrated effort to attack the president for political gain" that is astonishing.

you actually expect a response? >> probably not, we found out this not from chairman coming, we have actually seen a copy but we've encouraged to make it public, i don't know if it will but i hope he does. i cannot get into all the details but he talks about investigative strategy, that is the word they used throughout the document. >> the response, do not think that was one of the finest crafted letters you'd seen in a while. >> there been a lots of good letters from the white house counsel, two weeks ago, i brought this up in the committee hearing where he talked about if they can do what we did to the president of the united states, court needed spine efforts, if they can do to the president, imagine what they can do to you and i were the folks that are representing them. that's a fundamental principle,

that's why bill barcus to get to the bottom of this.. lou: it's interesting i heard some other reason about it, not personally -- that's rose going. this is an attorney whose best getting jim baker, now bill bar is into the investigation he talked about the spine that he thanks did occur and as a basis for my concern of the spying that took place in really scary, unauthorized surveillance and political surveillance before he was to get to the bottom, he's elected john durham, i think it's a good thing police a good thinking, as we close out, the investigation into the investigators is now underway, this day could've not got here

soon enough. it certainly feels good to consider the prospect of justice being done. and for the politically corrupt officials in both justice and the fbi in intelligence community as well. it feels pretty good to see the beginning. >> it sure does and look, i think bill bar has handled himself exactly the way the american people want the attorney general to operate and i think it will get to the bottom and answers well-deserved. lou: jim jordan thank you so much. up next, turns out it's easy to negotiate with the other side if you take the position. that approach being used. we will take that appear next. also a young boy's perseverance pays off ♪ ♪

unveil a new proposal tomorrow focusing on border security moving to a merit-based system, the move would more than quadruple the number of immigrants admitted because the work related skills while slashing the immigrants admitted because of family ties and no lottery either. if you would, immigration left neutral proposition. senator lindsey graham astonishingly releasing his own immigration proposal today, the senator's plan would make central american asylum-seekers apply outside the united states, would allow families to be held for 100 days and the more immigration judges and make it easier to send unaccompanied minors back to their home countries. the senator says his time would have to come with open border democrats who want amnesty productive recipients.

>> i support immigration reform did in the past, will in the future and i'm willing to work with democrats to do some things that they want to do. we want our next guest met with white house officials today to talk about immigration, the national emergency other border and he is someone who knows about borders and crises in immigration and border security. tom homan. acting director, fox visits contributed. tom, good to see. what do you make of the proposal at least as it is been outlined by the white house at this point? >> i like it. i think it's a good starting point to have a discussion, what i mostly like, number one issue on top of the list is border security. we're talking about border infrastructure, and projector ports of entry, more barriers in

addition to that, closing the loop holes the cost caravans in a crisis to occur. i like the point that that's on top of the list number one, as you said earlier in the show, it talks about american base immigrants, the nuclear families still protect its appearance in children are protected but forget about the graham parents, cousins, aunts and uncles. i think it's a good plan, also the language in their talk about the humanitarian aspect, people need our protection, because they are escaping persecution rather than the hundreds of thousands of fraudulent claims coming across a border right now.. lou: as one of seen from the proposal there is a number of illegal immigrants in this country and with deportation orders over their heads, will help us them wears interior enforcement because it seems to

me that there has been a receding of interior enforcement and all this. >> there should be. i've said the last couple months, we need a national operation, seek out the families and single adults who came across the border illegally, they need a process, judge, and the judge said you asleep, and they've ignored the orders, there's over half a million fugitives in the docket and there's well over a hundred thousand removed. you need to think about butane and remove them. they don't see anybody coming home. that's where they keep coming. i've done this three and half years ago and it worked. border numbers went down almost immediately because we should've consequent. we need to have the willpower to do it. i read the washington post story where the democrats don't like it, it will cause friction, i don't care, the job is. lou: like there is an friction now?

>> exactly. their job is to deport people at the d process and if we don't do that there is no integrity commerce system. just open the border and let them all come in. lou: your exactly right and i would return quickly to senator graham's proposal on the same day, is certainly was when the white house was put in that plan to put into direct competition is astonishing. your thoughts on both the politics of what he did in the outline that he gave us today? >> the white house is about border security and closing loopholes, he is addressing the things you and i talked about many times, holding the families to the judge, the flores agreement they need to be overturned, treat the same children from inter-american the same as retreatment school. you need to go home instead of a

whole different process the mexicans. he's hit him on the head, trying to adjust through the polls. i like his plan, i think it will drive the numbers on a board, he wants more judges on the border again, i think judges are great thing, i think they will get the backlog down about until we show the iraqi people in such america that these mean something and remove people based on those orders that we need to follow through on that. lou: absolutely. tom homan very good to talk to. >> the concert be much appreciated. the 5-year-old karate kid is an internet sensation, this video went viral. a little boy, is five years old breaking down to tariffs because at first he cannot break the board but he did not give up, he kept at it and broke the board as you see, he broke it in half,

lou: breaking news tonight

alabama governor signed one of the strictest abortion bills and the law this evening the law will likely be challenged, it could lead all the way to the u.s. approved court. the news comes a new report that the number of babies born in america last year fell to 32 year low 3.79 babies born last year a 2% decline from your go. an overall rate of abortion has fallen to the lowest level since roe v. wade the institute signed within 42 million abortions between 1983 and 2014, the most recent statistics available. the tsa plans to send hundreds of volunteers to border security along the us-mexico border upwards of 400 officials ranging from air marshals to law enforcement officers, number of special operations and going to

the border to help manage the escalating illegal crisis at the border. joining us tonight lieutenant governor of the great state of texas dan patrick, good heavy with us. police always good to beauty. let's start with the crisis in texas on the board. the crisis. your sense of what is going on in which we done i think i heard you just say they were less than 4 million babies born, the lowest level a few minutes ago, 3.9, this will start a you we will have more people enter our country illegally that were born in this country in one year. we are on pace to actually hand 1 million people crossing into this country illegally any law

enforcement people you talk to, portable, local sheriff, they will tell you we catch one out of four or five that means if we catch 1 million, 4 million others have crossed the border illegally that is more people born in this country. i was with you in june of last year live on your set and i told you is 11 million people here illegally it's over 30 million in about three months later there was a report put out by mmi t backing up the numbers on a different report, were near 10% of the population will be here illegally people from central america who are not educated, not prepare for work, we cannot educate, medicate and incarcerate the whole world, this crisis is a level i've never seen before last month, from brownsville and texas all the way to see a entrance to daigle about 60000 families children and adults cumin, 30000

single men, used to be no single men in alamosa families, is 60% of those coming to texas. lou: those people in many cases are either transmitting drugs so then apprehended in a many cases are simply a decoy so that others can, the cartels right now is it fair to say, the cartels have a greater control over the border then does united states? >> label total grip over the border, if you came down here even 15 years ago, a lot of people cross the border on their own looking for work, come upon the ranches on the border, and little food and no issues. today, those people are just try to get here to look for work, they should not come here illegally we need regard.

they will pay a severe price, a beating, worse because the drug cartels are controlling who crosses the border, they make a lot of money smuggling drugs, a lot of money smuggling people, but the border patrol knows but we have to respond is a cartels are sending all of these people into the crossings and other areas where we have border patrol forcing a border patrol to leave the area and then write up the middle like it were a football game. offense of line open and ready backups are, that's really send the drugs and all the coyotes with all the people there smuggling into the country. as such a central america, people coming from mexico the 20% of the people crossing, et cetera america but also china, it's the middle east, brazil, venezuela, they are all coming. and we are doing -- the president is doing everything within his power in the congress and courts are stopping him. we are making progress on the wall, building more fence but we

have to have a bare cross that wall in the need to get out of the way of the president to defend this country. lou: your thoughts on what the president is proposing right now? >> i like what he's proposing, and we had a call on this proposal and the president is taking a full approach to the strata such as superior, as the laws we need to change, as lindsey graham said earlier, i heard them at your piece from the tape, sending these people back to the country, we did cannot do that to central record. that's stupid.

but here's the problem, the democrats are not going to do anything to help this president, they do not want to give him a victory, there deniers and their deceivers, there are some democrats smart enough to know what is happening but there line to the murky people. the congressional democrats in texas, they know what is happening, they go to the same borders and is a is not a problem. the deniers, deceivers and i would say it's borderline in our culture. lou: i think is treason when you sell or country. >> that's what's happening thank you lou. lou: thank you we appreciate you. damn project of the great state of texas. we would like to hear your thoughts, share your caught under comments follow me on twitter and like the on facebook, follow me on instagram atlee dobbs tonight. it is extreme in. the recent poll show that two

us tonight victoria, former deputy executive, joe, former u.s. attorney for the district of columbia founding partner, good to have you both with us. great to see you again. let's start with reporting from john solomon is been extraordinary in his reporting and all this, i'm sure you'll agree. there seems to be no excuse whatsoever for the fbi not putting dossier into the fisa application. >> with similar reporting by john solomon about five or six weeks ago, he revealed that bruce entere or walked across te street until mccain that the dossier was suspicious and

unverifiable so they had an august and then they had it again and specifically saying why it was untrustworthy, my goodness, their pain out of the miami consulate and there is miami consulate a little suspicious. lou: a little indeed. no, this business of the newly appointed prosecutor appointed to the attorney general, how confident are you and what do you think of them, give us a sense. >> is one of the most stellar reputations of anybody in the department of justice over the last 30 years, he was picked by bill barr which is the imprimatur of the good housekeeping seal under these circumstances, giving the buffoons that have been running

the department for the last two years. it is great to see in attorney general knows how to put his pants on. the problem for brennan copper in comey's at durham is a real prosecutor he has prosecuted fbi agents for corruption in boston and he's investigated the intelligence committee, he is a perfect guy at the right time and it shows just how smart bill boris. and to add to that, he was smart not to go to special counsel, even though that might've been easier, but he kept in-house so he is ready to take the heat because in the end is the ultimate decider. lou: i am not ever met william barr, but just in his appearances and the way in which he is handled himself at this point, i have to say it's great to see a person who is in char charge, he was appointed by this president to be in charge, he

clearly is and that has to be unsettling to a lot of people in the justice department still at the fbi let alone all of those because of the rules and what is outrageous political corruption has been dismissed from the fbi. >> here is what bill barr does inside the d.o.j. building in the fda building every one of those people no you cannot lie to bill barr, he is been there before, he has run the place, he is a killer lawyer, he is a great lawyer, he knows where all the bodies are buried in one of the great things as victory just said, he did not appoint a special counsel, this is his case, durham works for him personally. i have every confidence that if there are cases to be made against brandon, klapper, comey and all the other thugs who debase the intelligence committee and the fddi and the

intelligence committee, those cases will be made. >> though southern district of new york has not felt any more press conferences since he became attorney general. jonathan tried to embarrass the president of the united states with the stilley account for michael cohen which is not even a crime. lou: the silly dems were trained a plan that are looking a little more anxious every day that they participate in that fraud. let's listen to john breaded and get your professional built interviews of what you hear. this is the former cia director and cnn commentator john brenn brennan. >> it went through a rigorous due process within the department of justice of the fbi, it was approved by the fisa court, it went through all of the steps and now look back at it in 2020 are they gonna find

something that should've been additionally whatever they might i think that's what they're trying to do is uncover something that they will misrepresent and being part of the deep they effort to undermine donald trump selection. lou: your reaction? >> if you had been interviewing brennan, your question even what if the fisa court was lied to, mr. brennan but of course nobody at that place whatever asset they like that and you see them do that. >> when you are watching him you're watching a man who is slowly disintegrating into a blather and he keeps talking about all these things, if there been any spine at all, all of a sudden, everything was done by the book, you cannot have it both ways and i just love the fact that brennan and copper are now saying it was all comey's

idea to put the dossier in the national assessment and comey says it was brennan's idea resolve these put all these people in a injury with mr. durham and asking them all the questions john brennan is right you he belongs, he needs a lawyer and he works for cnn. [laughter] lou: well said. mr. brennan turns out he's accurate about one thing, he said what all this exploded and he saw no way to run and was actually cornered he said i must've had that information. he did not going to say that he was the author. >> precisely. bad date. lou: thank you very much. victoria and joe. astounding attorneys, astounding americans. great people. the ncaa announcing it's working

who. so to reduce the likelihood of any kind of problem i think it's smart to get people out. lou: in the contest here, if you will with iran goes on, are they still the largest state sponsor of terrorism, there's still a threat to the entire region. there still a threat to israel. what are we to do? >> for israel, we give israel -- they've always said give us what we need to defend ourselves and will do it. that's everything we do, give israel the first thing they need to defend themselves. now we have energy independence in the last two or three years, a lot is because pro energy policies, we don't need crude oil, we don't need to be sucked into the psychodrama and 3000 years of conflict in the middle east, we are energy independent, a lot of the reasons we have been in the middle east for so long and then the middle of the

squabble is because of the oil, we don't need the oil anymore. bye-bye. lou: suspending travel to venezuela, is that pretend anything? >> i'm not surprised we didn't do before, i don't think it's any indication of any more violence or problems there he had. lou: the president executive order, giving u.s. firms the ability to not participate with anyone is suspected of being a national security threat including huawei. >> i think that's brilliant and i would've taken it a step further, during the cold war, one of the reasons we want without the cradle technology not go to the soviet union. lou: we have let them steal all the. >> we've given away and let them still. make sure that our stuff is not going there, the second thing the president should do, he is talked about but he needs to put his money where his mouth is, to make sure united states remains

dominant and high technology, the chinese are trying to do it, they're looking at all the made in china, 2025, they would have dominant in the ten article technologies of the future. we need to invest public-private partnerships, encourage science technology, engineering mathematics, education and go back to the idea that we were always so good at and let it slip. lou: it is curious that innovation is the hallmark of the american experience. there is little public discussion about innovation, research and development, the importance of that investment, yet as you say is so critical. we are in direct competition, respective of what cb joe biden says, we have a large powerful force building in china, the president continues to try to

balance trade with the country, the prospects here, right now one would say at best 5050, there can be a deal that is beneficial to both, your thoughts about how important it is and where were headed? >> you have to do it now, because ten years from now it will be too late, the chinese will have the board's largest economy and dictate terms to everybody including us, take the fight now, our economy strong and there's a slowing down. eventually -- australians went 25 rounds with the chinese. lou: i want to say something as were wrapping up. the former goldman ceo sachs these terrors are appropriate in the president's right at the same time his firm was trained to talk their book on his former
