twitter @loudobbs like me on facebook, follow me on instagram at lou dobbs tonight. we thank you for being with us, see you monday. good night from new york. trish: tonight, attorney general bill barr defending himself from democrats who don't -- [inaudible] all of this as barr defends the president -- is hurting the credibility of our intelligence agencies. all of this as barr defends the president against critics who accuse him of hurting the credibility of our intelligence agencies. watch. >> i think one of the ironies today is that people are saying that it's president trump that's. >> shredding our institutions. i really see no evidence of

that. trish: plus, what happened to all those calls for transparency from the democrats? what are they afraid of bill barr finding in his investigation? congressman sean duffy is here tonight on that in just moments. meanwhile, president trump facing criticism over his decision to slap escalating tariffs on mexico amid record numbers of migrants at the mexican/u.s. border. mention co's foreign minister -- mexico's foreign minister is going to be meeting with secretary of state mike pompeo. we have all the details on this unprecedented move by the united states. and did north korean leader kim jong un execute five of his officials after the failed attempt at another summit with president trump? new developments tonight. "trish regan primetime" begins right now. ♪ trish: fair ifness, it's -- fairness, it's a concept that should be pretty basic, right in

something you're supposed to learn as a kid in the sandbox. part of fairness means having enough perspective on yourself and others to know not to be so hypocritical. but the democrats never learned how to play so nicely in the sandbox, right? let's not forget how badly they all wanted the mueller report. remember all of it released, right? all they could talk about was transparency. and i don't disagree with them on that. i like transparency. it is healthy. but in fairness, it's got to work both ways. i mean, this is all we have heard from them, right? >> i can't emphasize enough how important transparency is. >> the justice department would be wise not to resist transparency. >> i'm going to be pressing for the attorney general to be as transparent as possible. >> the public wants to see it, the public deserves to see it.

in the interest of transparency and the interest of the rule of law and in the interest of just fair play. trish: so then, in fairness, in the interest of transparency, why the democrats -- as the representatives for the people in this country -- why wouldn't they want a full investigation into the origin of why the fbi was spying on the trump campaign? because some are selfish, self-motivated, and too many have no interest in protecting their constituents, only themselves. only their political futures. i mean, so now we have an attorney general in william barr that is seeking real transparency and trying to determine the answer to that very basic question, why the heck did the fbi spy on a political campaign? and yet he finds himself under attack by the very same people that have been yelling about the

importance of transparency all along. come on, guys. come on. be fair, right? they've subpoenaed barr. they've meaned to hold him in contempt of congress by calling for his resignation or his impeachment. they want to fine him. and this one is pretty rich, they even talk about him as though he's some kind of crook, and they want the justice department to investigate him. because he dared to offer his interpretation of the mueller report? which mueller, at the time, never seemed to have a problem with, right? but apparently just didn't like the media reaction? and because william barr is asking the very legitimate question that our country deserves an answer to, and that is where our country's intelligence -- were our country's intelligence departments weaponized for political purposes. i want answers to that. everyone should want answers to that. joining me right now, wisconsin congressman sean duffy. [laughter] congressman, i know you want answers to that as well.

>> i do too. trish: so what's going on here? you know, it just seems like if you believe in transparency, then you should believe in transparency through and through, and this is a pretty basic thing. why not find out the answer as to why our intel departments did that? >> first off, the democrat transparency viewpoint is a one-way street, and it goes towards the democrat party. this is simple, trish, why don't democrats want transparency? because if we find out the root cause of this hoax russia investigation, it goes back to hillary clinton and the democrat national committee that funded the dirty dossier that the information came from the russians. they're deep into the start of a russia investigation that was a total hoax. they can't let that happen. they actually have to stop it. and the media won't report on it either, trish, because they're not reporters, they're actually part of the story that have been applauding democrats, encouraging democrats, you know, keeping the story alive for two

years as mueller investigated donald trump. so you have democrats in the media saying we don't want any transparency because we're going to be incredibly embarrassed. not only that, when we start to see all the bad acts -- maybe it was the insurance policy that page and strzok had talked about -- when we start to find that out, that's going to take the energy, all the air out of the room for the stupid attempted obstruction impeachment proceedings that the democrats are trying to push on the hill right now. we'll all be talking about how corrupt our intel and fbi agents were at the highest levelings. -- levels. trish: how did it get this far? don't you think the people in the democrat party knew or had some kind of inkling about it, congressman? don't you think they would have somehow shut down the whole mueller report to begin with? didn't they at some point figure out people might be asking the question, hey, why did you guys do this? >> i think they were dumb enough

to think we would never find out. i mean, the investigation was going on for six, seven months before we even knew that the dirties dossier was funded by hillary clinton and the democrat party. they were trying to keep that secret. but the oh point here is they -- the other point here is they hate donald trump so much that they're blinded with rage, and they're trying to undo the will of the last election. not only that, as long as they keep the hoax of the investigation alive, they don't have to talk about the smoke -- smoking hot economy in places like wisconsin where there are more job openings than people to fill the jobs. everybody's wages are rising. this is amazing, what donald trump has done. they have to talk about the economy and how great it is, and my goodness, they don't want to do that because that could actually get donald trump reelected. trish: so how would you characterize them right now? to me, at some point you've got to leave the partisanship

behind. you've got to get tough done. you've got to protect your constituents and our country which means not allowing intel departments to go rogue if, in fact, that is what happened. and, you know, you think that somebody this in washington, i don't care what party. doesn't anybody just want to do what's right? >> here's what's happening, i think, trish. on the democrat side there's a lot of good people. a lot of them are my friends. the socialist wing of the democrat party that hate are president trump so much, that's the base that they go home to every weekend, and they're the ones that go to town halls, they're the ones that gave him money, knocked doors for them, and they're the ones that say you have to impeach donald trump. and if they say no, they get major push from their own base, and they think they're going to lose in a primary. so though they may not want to do it -- i'm not talking about the aocs or the maxine waters, i'm talking about the more moderate ones -- they feel a tremendous amount of pressure to actually go with this narrative that they want to impeach donald

trump. by the way, that is going to be horrible for america, but it's going to be great for donald trump, because he's going to get reelected, and republicans may very well take the house because americans want you to fight for them. they don't want you to fight donald trump, they want you to fight to make their lives bigger, their paychecks better and futures brighter. only republicans have done it, and that's why i think they're going to reward us in 2020. trish: right? you have only to look at how the republicans suffered after impeaching bill clinton. and i wonder, because i'm watching nancy pelosi very carefully, and she seems a little reluctant. i mean, there is, as you said, all that pressure. and yet she's having a hard time, i guess, managing the people -- [laughter] managing the party when she's got aoc and talib and the rest of them out there gallivanting around and parading for this impeachment thing. but, you know, if she can't quite manage them, then she's going to have a much bigger

problem, and she's going to be out of a job, i would think, as speaker of the house. >> yeah. first of all, i think that, you know, the party of the democrats has gone so far left that now nancy pelosi is the moderate one in the democrat party? but she is, and she is the responsible one, and she's been around enough to know that if they go down this path, it's going to be devastating for their party. and she's trying to hold the party back from that devastation if they go forward with impeachment. the horses are out of the barn, and they're running, and she cannot restrain them. she will lose the speakership, they will take her out, or she'll move forward with impeachment. if you look at the loudest members, the most popular members in the democrat party, it is the aocs, it is the tlaibs, this new freshman socialist group that's driving the narrative. nancy's lost all control over the narrative and the legislation of the democrat party, and that's why i think they're going to be successful in pushing, you know, the impeachment proceedings which,

again, is devastating for the democrat party. trish: wow. wow, wow, wow. unbelievable to watch, and we've got a front row seat. congressman sean duffy, thank you so much. the intolling rant left, really intolerant, right? you just heard as the congressman describes, just loves to push this narrative that conservative women, meanwhile, can't decide for themselves. >> when the president was elected, he had a majority of white women. these women were voting their husbands' politics, voting their husbands' ideology. trish: now as uc-berkeley, a school well known for shutting down conservative speech, new social sciences dean is accusing conservatives of wanting to put women back in their place. coming up, we've got all the details on that one and my thoughts. also tonight, take a look at this unbelievable, amazing vehicle. this is an iowa little league team that's warming up while a huge tornado is looming in the background. why didn't these kids react? my goodness, if i was their mom

on the sidelines, i'd be going nuts. we'll tell you all about it. but first, president trump using tariffs against mexico to try to stem the illegal flow of migrants into our country. my next guest says president trump is taking another step in trying to secure the border, protect americans and defend our sovereignty. but is this really the move to make right now? former trump acting i.c.e. director tom homan speaking out. ♪ what are you charging me for online equity trades?

trish:

president trump using tariffs aa penalty against mexico in an attempt to try to force the country to -- [audio difficulty] pretty mixed reviews. and right now mexico's enroute to d.c. for a meeting with white house officials. mexico can't stop this somehow by -- [inaudible] then 5% tariffs, and the tariffs will keep increasing if the administration decides that mexico's not doing enough. all the way up to 25% tariffs by october 1st. finish -- now, point out something that should be obvious, and, you know, nobody likes to -- [audio difficulty] i'm just going to point out

something that should be obvious. and, you know, nobody likes tariffs. i agree they're sometimes a good influencing tool, and they can help to influence behavior. but in this particular case, didn't we just do a deal, right, with mexico and canada? isn't the vice president, you know, touting this deal with trudeau right now? so if we just did a deal, why didn't anybody talk about this in the deal? couldn't they have layered these tariffs into the deal itself? not to mention that if you're trying to have leverage with china, then you might want to keep the pressure on china. because by now putting it on mexico as well, this means any of those chinese entities, american entities that were operating in china that were maybe thinking about moving to mexico because, you know, it would balance out, you wouldn't have as much in the way of transportation costs, etc.

well, now suddenly that's not going to make as much sense, so maybe you have a little less leverage for china at a time when you kind of need it. anyway, it's still a problem that we have this many people trying to cross illegally into our country, more than 500,000. but is tariffs really the right approach to deal with that? former acting i.c.e. director tom homan, joining me now. i know you're not an economist, but i i want you to walk us through the problem and what you think mexico can do in order to show that it is trying to stop the flow of all these illegal migrants into the u.s. >> mexico needs to keep their promises to this country. every so often you hear mexico's arresting this group and deporting them, or they're stopping people on the border in small numbers. there's always a dog and pony show, but there's no sustained operation in the country of mexico. and, look, if you look at the

facts, you know, the criminal cartels are operating with impunity in mexico. i mean, it's against the law in the country of mexico the traffic women and children. but hundreds of thousands of women and children have been trafficked through mexico in broad daylight, and nothing's being done about the criminal cartels that are controlling this. and the president's making the right move right now. i know it's controversial, but it's the right move because it's a critical time on our southern border, trish. we're releasing family units, we're releasing children because of court decisions and the trafficking victims act, but we're at a crossroads where i.c.e. is running out of money and beds, and we may be at a point in the near future they may be releasing single adults -- trish: can i jump in for a second, because a lot of these people are coming from, as i understand it, central america, right? so mexico, in some ways, has kind of the same problem that we do, right? in other words, we can't control our border, mexico can't control its border. so you've got people coming from honduras, guatemala, probably

very soon people coming from venezuela because they have a severe crisis there as a result of the economic challenges. so everybody's going to be coming up. they come through mexico to come to u.s. what does mexico need to do to stop the them coming into mexico in the first place? do they need walls? >> well, they need to secure their southern border, but what they really need to do is dismantle the criminal cartels that are running these operations. look, these people aren't coming up by themselves, thousands of people. that group of a thousand that was arrested a couple of days ago, that's not by accident. they're pushing them through one sector of the border -- trish: i guess i'm getting at, you know, it's our country, and i realize that the democrats aren't so willing to help out on this one, but it is our country. and so, you know, theoretically we should be policing our border. and, yeah, mexico can help. i don't disagree with that. but i do question how exactly are we going to measure their help, tom? in other words, if they -- do

they just need, does the president, does the administration need to see a little more love, a little more cooperation, or are we going to say they are numerical, you know, examples of what we consider help? >> we need to see sustained enforcement action. look, i.c.e. has several attache offices with special agents, u.s. special agents in mexico that can watch what they're doing. they are not doing anything, so they need to at least show our country that they're enforcing at least their own laws to stop this trafficking in women and children. look, this isn't a soft issue we can walk around. 31% of women are being raped. that's a doctors without borders number. children are dying. criminal cartels are making billions of dollars, the same cartels that are murdered -- [inaudible] enough's enough. mexico needs to step up -- trish: okay. but, you know, tom, you know, i don't disagree with you. they need some law and order in mexico. they could use a little in honduras and in ecuador and guatemala and the rest of these places, okay?

but we also are responsible for ourselves, and to this i get back to democrats and their unwillingness to actually enforce the border, something that they at one point believed in. and i look at this tariff plan, and i question what kind of damage this is going to do to u.s. because if you see this ratchet up to 25% tariffs, okay? by with october 1st, if we decide they're not doing enough, 25% tariffs, the u.s. consumers are going to be paying for all that. all that good stuff that we get in mexico, we're going to be paying 25% more for. >> look, i agree with you. you've heard me say many times on this show and other shows congress has failed the american people. chuck grassley went and did his job when we had the house, the senate and the white house and closed these loopholes -- trish exactly. >> -- number one to blame, but the congress is not helping the the president, the courts aren't helping the president, so this president's taken bold steps the secure this country. he's being a president and doing

everything he can to protect the united states -- trish: look, it's creative. i don't know if it's going to work though. okay, tell me what you think about -- [inaudible] >> it doesn't matter. we are in a crisis. we are losing our sovereignty. united states citizens, we've got enough angel moms and angel dads. we've got enough of how much illegal immigration has cost this country -- trish: so police the borders ourselves. let's police ourselves, police the border, put the pressure on the democrats to get the money you need to do what you you've t to do to make sure we're secure. >> look, i've been up on the hill for the last two years trying to get them to close the loopholes, they are not doing it. they hate this president more than they care about the security of this country. they're not going to help. the courts aren't going to help. this president's taking bold action, and i support him. you can't put a price on protecting america. you can't put a price on securing the border. there's no downside in securing the border, there's no downside on less drugs and illegal

immigration. if it costs tariffs -- trish: okay, i'm going to tell you this though, tom: if americans are hurting come 2020, if the economy is not doing as well as it is right now because of things like 25% tariffs on anything coming in from mexico, people are not going to be as willing -- i'm just pointing that out, okay? we need a good economy to be talking about tariffs down there, especially when we just did a trade deal. tom, it's good to see you. thank you as always, sir. tom homan. don't you just love how the left loves to paint liberal women as enlightened and so independent and so great and smart. but conservative women, they're just controlled by men. >> due to ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should. trish: well, now a uc-berkeley social sciences dean is accusing conservatives of wanting to put

♪ ♪ trish: a shocking new report revealing that north korea has executed five officials over the failed kim/trump hanoi summit. secretary of state mike pompeo says the u.s. is looking into these unverified reports. if true, we are not dealing with rational negotiators now, are we? if that's the case, what is the next step that the u.s. should make in a relationship that is clearly very volatile? joining me right now is former united nations ambassador and former governor of new mexico, mr. bill richardson. governor, good to see you. >> thank you, trish. nice to be with you.

trish: wow. what's your instinct on this? i know it's just a report out of a south korean newspaper, but given what we know about kim jong un and his behavior in the past, do you believe that there could be some truth to it? >> i believe there is truth to it. you can't confirm it until we get more information in the next few days. but this is consistent with kim jong un's behavior. he's eliminated family members, anybody that defies him. and what i think has happened is the summit in hanoi -- which was a failure for both of us, the u.s. and north korea -- has hurt him domestically with his own people. sanctions relief is what he wanted, and he didn't get it. so he needs a distraction. he needs somebody to blame, and the spy chief who conducted the negotiations and some of his contemptlies that were part --

contemporaries who were part of the negotiating team, probably the reports are true. but i think it does present in this negative assessment of kim jong un an opportunity for us to get some kind of a deal. trish: wow. well, you're optimistic, sir. [laughter] what do you mean? how do we get a deal with north korea? >> well, this is what i would do, trish, and the president's not going to listen to me. but, one, the president should stop praising kim jong un, he's my buddy, we can work this out. secondly, he should not contradict his national security adviser who said that north korea shot two short-range missiles in violation of the u.n. resolution. the president said he didn't agree. but this is an opportunity for both sides to compromise on something that is worthy. in other words, the north koreans are not going to fully denuclearize. they have 40 nuclear weapons, a lot of missiles. but, you know, if they destroy a

good portion of those with inspections and we find a way to have some sanctions relief and and let the president instead of just tweeting and deciding he can work everything out with kim jong un, let his negotiators, the special envoy, the secretary of state negotiate this. now, it looks like the north koreans are now going to turn to foreign ministry people. i've dealt with the north koreans. the foreign ministry people are a lot more reasonable than the intelligence people. but let's see where this thing goes. let's not abandon it, but the president has to start listening to his key advisers which he doesn't want to do. trish: yeah, you know, it's interesting you say that because i see a little bit of that myself. in other words, you see the president say one thing, both saying something else, pompeo and bolton usually a little more aligned on what they're saying. but there are a lot of people

that feel maybe ambassador bolton and donald trump are not necessarily the match made in heaven there because bolton is more from the neo-con, shall we say, zip code, right? [laughter] and this president's more about just getting the deal done and not as much of a hawk, perhaps, on some of the security issues as bolton. so how do they -- is it a good cop/bad cop kind of thing? how can they make that relationship work? you say he needs to listen to bolton more, but simultaneously if bolton has, you know, his heel dug in, essentially, on some of these issues, where does that leave them? >> well, i think bolton is going to be shocked that i'm defending him here -- [laughter] but i do think, i mean, there's no question, there's no question, trish, that this is a violation of u.n. resolutions. i was u.n. ambassador. you don't have short-range missiles -- ask the japanese. they're very, very concerned,

and they said that to president on his recent trip to japan. so i think the president needs to say, okay, secretary pompeo, bolton, steven began, the negotiator -- who, by the way, is good -- work some compromise, work some other summit, which i know the president wants. he loves these summits. work out a negotiate framework that says we're going to make progress, it's going to take years, but it's worth the effort, because the korean peninsula -- trish: [inaudible] >> yeah, that's what i say. and, you know, i know you just talked about mexico. i wish the president would listen to his secretary of the treasury and the trade negotiator. apparently, they're against these tariffs being imposed. i mean, we've got this treaty with mexico and canada that

congress is going to be voting on -- trish: kind of bad timing, right? [laughter] >> i don't -- it's not good. trish: now you're putting in tariffs, so that doesn't entirely make sense. >> yeah. but nobody listens to me, so that's all right. but that's why -- trish: uc-berkeley dean is singing the same exact tune, but she's taking it even further. she is accusing conservatives of wanting to put women back in their place. coming up, you will not believe what else she had to say. we're going to show you. but first, new reports that

make sense given that we've got the technology to get the oil. and also we don't want the russians there. we don't want the iranians there, the chinese there. they're right here in our western hemisphere, makes sense for us to have some involvement. what do you mean though when you say the president needs to get involved? i mean, do you just sit juan guaido down and nicholas nicolao and say, okay, guys, we're going to work it out? >> i think president trump may want to come out and acknowledge that there are discussions and maybe put some sort of tacit blessing on it if it goes on for long enough, he may volunteer to get involved personally. he knows how to bring this to a held. and while flattering kim jong un might not make sense on the surface, it's worked to further our own interest. there's obviously a huge political compromise going on with north korea. if, you know, i think president trump can understand that if we get 80% of what we want through

a negotiation, we can get to point where chevron today went to the u.s. treasury to say, hey, listen, can we have a license to do business there? doesn't have to do that. if it's a deal that venezuela welcomes chevron. my sense is every part of the political spectrum except for one small, narrow niche wants american oil companies there. so why are we creating a situation where you're going to have russian companies getting what chevron wants, exxon wants, and they can do the jobs that will create the economic -- trish: that makes sense. okay, so you're saying you need a businessman in the room. gotcha. >> you don't need washington insiders on this one. trish: the think tank folks need to step aside. [laughter] all right. hans humes, good to see you. thank you so much. >> yep. trish: coming up, take a look at this amazing video. this is incredible. you've got this little league team out in iowa, and they're warming up while a huge tornado, check it out, looms in the background.

trish: right now, "the wall street jou" is reporting that the justice department is preparing an antitrust investigation of google. sources say the doj is expected to examine the tech company's practices related to search and other businesses. this is very, very interesting, because this is a big company, right? we're talking google. they kind of control the whole search engine thing, right? nobody else has really had a chance. nobody's really done well. google, of course, now is a verb, the google someone, and now the doj's saying, okay, maybe you're getting a little too big. maybe you need to splinter off. wouldn't that be fascinating? so, again, we have just seen this, the doj is preparing in

the antitrust lawsuit, this probe into how google's doing its business. don't forget -- well, we've shown you before all that footage of everybody crying when donald trump got elected, remember the next day? [laughter] maybe it was more than just donald trump. maybe it was the threat of something like this. anyway, let's move to this, switching gears. the university of california-berkeley is just announcing a new social sciences dean, and now a moment in one of her flashback lectures is getting a whole lot of attention, undeniably left-leaning, but her comments here measured, intellectual and refraining from attacking conservatives. however, you've got one instance that's totally making headlines because it is so awful. watch.

trish: okay. so this dean gave in the lecture on women's day back in 2017, and no one in the class pushed back. of course no one, no one pushed back. it's academia. joining me right now, trump 2020 campaign advisory board member, madison is going to push back and rightly so. madison, first off, good to see you. >> good to see you, trish. you know, i listened to this, i'm not at all surprised that this is coming out of the mouth of someone from uc-berkeley, but at the same time, she is so off base. i look at the republican party as the party of eternal optimism, as the party of opportunity. we look at what's happened over just the past two years as a result of republican and right-wing ideology. women have experienced the lowest unemployment rate that we've seen in over 65 years,

many minority women experiencing an all-time low. we look at over 70% of women that have children under the ainge -- age of 18 are part of the labor force. they see deregulation impacting their businesses in a positive way, so i don't understand why people aren't pushing back on this, but i do understand why a lot of people in the classroom wouldn't be because of what we're seeing happening to students. i was one of those students in law school, i went through this. trish: in some ways it's like they -- [inaudible] they are painting anybody who dares to think differently than them as uneducated, dumb -- >> right. trish: deplorables, effect effectively, right? people are saying it doesn't mean that i don't believe in equal rights for women, that i'm somehow racist or homophobic or

xenophobic, you name it, because they've got a whole bunch of labels for anybody who dares to think differently, don't they, madison? >> of course. and the majority of republicans and conservatives are not racists, they're not uneducated, they're not dumb. they simply have different ideas of how we reach our goals. so a lot of these liberals are coming out consistently for years now saying they support diversity. but that support for diversity is stock for them when it comes to diversity of thought and opinion. and that's one of those important things we should be seeing on college campuses. trish: i hear ya. madison, good to see you. coming up next, an iowa little league team warming up during a huge tornado, and none of those kids notice what's going on here. of details next. folio events. all in one place. because when it's decision time... you need decision tech. only from fidelity.
