calling the comes beneath the dignity of the office, adding to be on foreign soil on memorial day, and side with a dictator, speaks for itself. to be fair biden criticized president on foreign soil, february, attacking mr. trump's immigration policies during his speech in germany. still political unpredictability is what washington has come to expects from the president, whose remarks to troops in alaska, seemed as much a campaign event as a feel-good visit. >> we're not looking for regime change. i just want to make that clear. we're looking for no nuclear weapons. >> president also downplaying weapon testing by pyongyang, he still has confidence in kim to keep his promise. lou, you may have seen this, this afternoon on twitter to the tried to clean up the situation involving vice president, former vice president joe biden, he said, he really tried to clean

lou: never-trumper. conservative he says bill crystal claims outrage today over president's criticism of joe biden. during a press conference in

japan. >> seeing president of united states with the american flag, and flag of host country, japan, we saw there. say something attacking most recent vice president of united states it does damage to the country, i think to our ability to conduct serious foreign policy in ways that you know we'll pay a price for some time. lou: he is afraid, but not afraid that in february biden called america under president trump quote an embarrassment. that on foreign soil, and he did not mention john kerry's possible violation of logan act with his september 2018 meeting with irannian foreign minister, he does not see these as serious, what kind of conservative that. >> and ilhan omar proclaiming american policy needs "her," perspective of a foreigner that is what member of house foreign affairs committee brings.

she also told star tribune, time for a green new deal style over hall of u.s. foreign policy. and that would just be perfect for geniuses like omar. and aoc, and talib, don't you think? you know, fresh outlook. joining us, "new york post" columnist, fox business contributor, great american, michael goodwin. this is just stunning to watch bill crystal, whatever you call him. that was tortures reasoning. it was pathetic. >> well, you point out, he had no comment that we can recall when john kerr deit, anit -- jon kerry did it and biden. obama has criticized president trump abroad, and hillary

clinton has. lou: obama has criticized america abroad. >> but nothing was said double standards. >> what kind of conservative is bill crystal? what would you -- would be the other adjective. >> former. >> give him another pulitzer. turn to the radical dimms omar with her now foreign perspective. is she supposed to have been naturalized? now an american, proud of this country? now she wants to retain her foreign status. >> putting foreign back into foreign policy. >> yeah. >> she never disappoints, does she? always out of touch, off key with when we expect from an american representative. lou: she is antiamerican i

think. >> i struggle to find another way, she does not seem to like anything about this country, despite the fact, it saved her country. lou: she is not overwhelmed with gratitude. >> she has kept it in perspective. lou: a foreign perspective. radical dimms, is there really a plan beside green deal? which omar wants to bring to foreign affairs as well. she would trash it all, domestic policy and foreign policy, there would not be of left, i guess space. >> maybe that the goal. she doesn't seem to believe that america is the shining city on the hill. all her policy formulations would be to lower america, bring america down to the level of other countries. those of us who like american,

believe in america first, i just -- that does not make sense to me. lou: and president, by the way, good to have the president and first lady back in the country. it truly is. and to think that we're about the see these documents declassified. the president ordering intel agency to cooperate with the attorney general giving attorney general full authority to investigate. i think this is going to be really quite something. that is your thoughts? >> look, to me this is president going nuclear. i mean, i wrote my column over the week, he talked about releasing them for a long time, he never did, she said i want -- he said, i want to save it for a counter punch. he saw last week, nancy pelosi sides with the impeachers, she said cover-up, we need a family. lou: she lost her mind.

>> something happened to her last week, and i think that president recognized correctly, that is the end, they are not going to do legislation, they are only going to investigate, and try to impeach, so i'm going to counter punch, the documents if they are as i believe they are and you believe they are, they will be devastating to john brennan, james comey could mccabe, the whole group of people who really tried to upset an election, this is a moment. lou: trying to over throw a president. >> try to stop then over throw. lou: this was an extraordinary even, as you say, they went after him as a candidate then a president. and the intelligence, along with fbi, department of justice and be oobama white house they haveh to answer for, i believe now they will with the appointment of attorney general barr. but in addition to that, to have

the congress of united states now playing the part of the you know of the wingman to this sorted scandal. is stunning, nadlers, and schiffs, mark warners, these are accomplices aiding and abetting what they understood was an attempt to over three the president, to block his election. it is stunning in the cynicism, and disloyalty. disloyalty. >> and i believe they will give bill barr the brett kavanaugh treatment, the personal smears against him. >> if they do they will rieux the day, this is not a man of common talent. he and i'm not suggesting kavanaugh was, but this man has power of subpoena, arrest and -- about making right what has been

two and a half years of wrongs again a sitting president, and trying to block the election of donald trump. >> they -- people who did this, have hidden behind the secrecy laws. that make it difficult to pry anything out. dan coats -- >> coming out with that nonsense, saying that he wants to be careful here with this transparency, that president is insisting on. suddenly sounds leak h like he - like he is aping words of heads of principal agents, he has a lot to answer for. we're getting reports now that john brennan didn't have his security clearance lifted. >> right. lou: and only one person could have done that that would be dni, dan coats, this man has a lot to answer for. >> i think lou, we're about to

see a seminol moment, if this information comes out, as we think it will, you will never going to have this kind of event. that is significant. not only a chance -- >> who would have dreamed we could have this. >> right. lou: amazing. >> if secrecy can be shredded away from them could they are guilty of wrong doing, i think we'll never have to worry about that again. lou: but we cannot permit anything less than justice to be brought and accountability. >> if they get away with it, it would happen again. lou: i don't think under that president they would get away with it, just guessing but there it is, michael goodwin. >> thank you. lou: a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, winning an ncaa national championship over memorial day weekend. franklin pierce university

cable news. to find out joining us, daily caller's, vince coglianese. >> thank you. lou: amazing press in his select of presidential timber, your reacted? >> he got that one wrong, is there any more goofy than thinking because some guy appeared on your show he will be next president of u.s. brien saying, i take you seriously, this is why americans don't take cable news hosts like brian seriously. he in his head, thinks that donald trump is elected president because he appeared on television, rather than he was living up to the promises he made on campaign trail, an aggressive realistic effort to speak to concerns that voters had about grift and disgusting

nature of washington, he would be guy to go in change that. avenatti for his part is a scam artist. lou: president, as a candidate spoke directly to the forgotten man and women in this country, millions of them, and those who care about them, talking about issues that matter most. think about, we're two and a half years in and president sill educating people about the most of them, on wall street, or in koch brothers, or chamber of commerce, having too educate them on benefits was not running trade deficits, that is how brain washed american people were by national lowest wing media, -- left wing media, corporate america and wall street. >> that is why the president's twitter account is such an effective place for him to communicate. trade is a perfect example, you

mentioned chamber of commerce. and so much of washington walking in lockstep on trade, saying that we just need to unilaterally disarm issue we need free trade, this while have you country like china, straight up taking advantage of our economy. cheating in this process, stealing intellectual property. subsidizing their own industries, and doing it at expense of american workers, someone had to confront this, she a rare voice on -- he is a rare voice on this, donald trump made it an issue, and a lots of americans of nodding in agreement, saying finally. lou: care about. and we need to fix. and the president poll after poll showing that people understand that this is now a critical issue that has to be fixed. and even farmers, who you know he provided 16 billion dollars in assistant they are attacked by the tariffs, but truth is

this president is you know even jamie dimon he flip flops on this but he acknowledges that president is right to take on china at-this-point it critically necessary. >> absolutely, it is necessary to take on china. and i think even the most aggressive so-called free market people, realize that china has violated every compact they have with united states with trade, they need to be tackled, think about 25 percent tariffs at outset, only american goods that first 25% increase, only raised value by 4%. which means something happened with other 21%, where did it go? chinese government incurred that extend through subsidizing industries that were impacted. american consumers are not taking brunt of this, chinese are, and all these dollars glow to our -- to our treasury.

lou: they also have been manipulating their currency, devaluing it so offset impact of the tariffs. most of which have been at about 10% until now. we're looking at chinese having to deal with a 25% imposition of tariffs there is no question that china has to change. have you noticed one thing national left wing media, suddenly a discussion that point of this exercise on part of the president, is not to balance trade, to create mutual respectful trade, but now, they created a you hav straw man, ths president's to change the state planned economy on china, which is absurd, but that is what the you know, they resort to now they lost their quote, end

quote, tre free trade argument. there has been no free trade, it cost americans 5 trillion dollars over last 30-years. >> the central concern for president seems to be, assessing trump doctrine seems obvious, looking after interest of american citizens, is it good for an american citizen, that is basic. he not interested in regime change. for america we do what is best for us. lou: he made it clear from the very beginning, it america first. vince coglianese thank you. >> lou my pleasure. lou: daily caller. >> breaking news. a shocking study shows irk e-cigarettes could raise risk of having a heart attack and creating heart disease. , school of medicine, flavoring in many e-cigs damages cells

lou: well he has done it again, pope francis, speaking out against president trump's proposed border wall. comparing it to the berlin wall of all things, saying: whoever builds walls ends up a prisoner of the walls he built, however the vatican is surrounded by a wall. he is not a prisoner. border patrol will be hiring people to baby sit illegal immigrant children who cross southern border allowing agents to return to border enforcement. border patrol processing coordinator will be tasked with cleaning, feeding, transports

illegals in border patrol custody, hiring for new position to begin early next year, joining us tonight, tom hallman, fox business contributor. great american, great to have you with us, let's start with the pope. it seems he backed off for a while, now he is again asserting this -- his view that building walls is i guess immoral. >> well, life long catholic, i think he needs to spend more time fixing the mess in the catholic church. like you said, he has a wall around vatican. there is no reason why we should not have a wall protecting our citizens. a wall here would save lives, children are dying, 31% of women are raped because they have

criminal cartels, the more wall we have less women raped and less children dying, they come to a port of entry. not from a cartel. not just about secures nation and enforcing laws but it is about saving lives, you would think that point would understand that. lou: you would think, perhaps time for u.s. ambassador to vatican to say to the pope, you are supporting the cartels, no one would suggest he means it but that is the effect of. he should lineup with this president and his border security policies, because as you point out. people's lives are lost every day. because of those cartels be they control as we have discussed many times here. they control both sides of the border, they are the ones that decide what crosses that border. not the government of mexico. because the cartels have if not control, influence over the

government mexico. >> you have discussed this many times, i continue to point my finger at democratic leadership who fail to closes loopholes, they demand investigation to children migrant deaths, start by looking in a mirror, you refused to close the loopholes that bring the families in, the first part of the investigation should be what have we didn't to address this crisis, and slow the numbers down, they have not done one thing, only people addressing the border crisis is president of united states. with resources and trying to build a wall, and declared a national merge. he put an immigration plan on table a couple weeks ago, what have democrat leadership done about this issue. this is -- they failed the american people. they need to be held

accountable, let's start the investigation there in congress. lou: and i think that is precisely the correct approach. some people really have to wake up from the pontiff to the american people. to understand without this president, there is no national sovereignty to be enforced at that border of any kind. and that has -- is reaching millions of americans, and their views are changing, an awakening. a privately funded organization, we build the wall, completed a half mile wall on private property, this weekend. your reaction to their efforts, your thoughts? >> i fully support, look, a small help but it is a help, you have 9th circuit judge in oakland, probably friends with the mayor who wants to hold up the president's agenda in

secures this nation. citizenry of united states is getting sick of this they are giving their own money supporting the barrier. only thing i hope they do, i am sure they are, work with the experts and engineers at cvp who study different prototypes, i am sure they are. but, i welcome it. hopefully we can do more, congress and courts fail to 6 -- secure the nation. lou: tom homan. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> lou. lou: 3 new cases of rat lung worm disease confirmed by hawaii department of health. in 2019, 5 people on hawaii have been diagnosed with potentially deadly disease, last year 10 people were diagnosed with the deed, some victims contracted lung worm disease eating unwashed raw fruits evenin -- vegetables and other plants from

lou: president trump defending america first agenda during his 4 day trip to japan, making it clear, he is in no rush to make a trade deal with china. >> i think they probably wish they made the deal they had on the table before they tried to renegotiate, they would like to make a deal we're not ready, we're taking in tens of billions of dollars of tariffs, that number could go up. very easily. lou: joining us, christian whiten. former state department senior advicadvisor. good to have you with us, what

to make of the talk that the china might restrict its rare earth exports to u.s. the greatest number of rare earth elements, that i'm aware of in world. your thoughts? >> yeah, i think this more bluster than reality, rare earth is not as rare as this sounds. it is a series of compounds okay or elements that goes to high-tech manufacturing, 90% comes from china, but, you know this is stuff that actually or was mined in united states, you can get from australia, and japan, and russia and india. if china follows through with a threat to stop exports that. the effect would be other people, including united states would find substitutes elsewhere. lou: a lot of substitution in process with tariffs and president's insistance that

china engage in balanced, reciprocal trade, and clear that there ising in going -- that there ising? anythin -- there g going on in establishment media, all this discuss about president wants to change china's central planned state government communist government, he is never said anything of the kind. this is sort of a demonstration he won the argument on balanced trade, and now they are looking for straw men to hold up. it is breath talking to watch -- breath taking on watch this pivot in the media. to talking about china will never change. its communist government. who asked them to?

>> right. the echoing of beijing talking points across the line is disturbing. they refer it to as trump's trade war, this is america's trade war, there is broad consensus even chuck schumer is cheering on president trump in this quest to create a fairness in our relationship. like people in 1940s, referred to world war ii as mr. roosevelts war. this is america's contest, and people are echoing bay joins talk -- beijing talking points but an over hyping, we hol holdt of the cards. lou: jamie dimon, who is a serve critic of the president, even he acknowledges that president trump had to take on this challenge and threat from china. now rather than later. and in so doing.

he is acting in the national interest. as you say, it is america's trade war. huawei. it remains ambiguous, president has brought down a ton of bricks to huawei. yet our allies, if particular in europe, are not responding, either as forcefully as quickly as one would expect, why? >> i think they would like to have it both ways, see us stick our necks out with china to change the china behavior to respect fuel rule of law, then they come in reap the beneficials, like they freeload off of on security, it he may nt work out like they want looking at germany other continental powers, they defend on us dedep- depend on us. >> and iran, the president again

making it clear that he does not want regime change in iran. this is the president, everyone should remember. who ran on bringing our forces home. and ending american adventurism and extent shi extension of our. your thoughts? >> you know his goal with iran, has been sinces beginning of the campaign to achieve denuclearization or getting a better deal with them. secretary pompeo did come out with a list of items, where we would like to see change, trump making this clear, door is open for negotiation, if iranian people rise up, that is super. but as on th eyes on the prize,r

interests are our interests. >> absolutely. christian whiten, thank you. >> thank you, lou. lou: up next, national security crisis at southern border worsens by the day, hope hope, s does not seem to think that america should be able to protect its own sovereignty, what is the world? that and more when we come back. 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: pope francis once again criticizing the president's proposed border wall. the pope compared it to berlin wall, of all things. tom homan, former acting director of i.c.e., took exception to pontiff's remarks. >> he has a wall around the vatican to protect him and his institution. there's no reason why this can't can't -- this country shouldn't have a wall. not only that, it'll save lives. children are dying, 31% of women are being raped because they've got criminal cartels. the more wall we have, the less women being raped, the less children i dying. lou: and congresswoman omar strikes again, proclaiming american policy needs her, quote, perspective of a foreigner. she's a u.s. citizen, by the way. it might have occurred to her as well. we'll find out. that's it for us tonight.
