10:00 pm
all time. the best of your day. thanks a lot. you can follow me on instagram and twitter at kennedy nation. kennedy fbn. tomorrow on this show, cory lewandowski. tonight good evening everyone the radical dems trying to undermine and overthrow presidential continues. immensely flawed special counsel said his final report, should be his testimony, reversing himself, not unexpectedly.robert mueller now will testify himself before congress next month. the controversial and highly partisan former prosecutor with a career built on failures will be back on the attack against president trump. despite two years of investigation that resulted in exoneration and vindication, for the president.
10:01 pm
but found no collusion required ever-changing scope memos from rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general and produced only highly frustrated partisan prosecutors who were trying to overthrow the president. so sad. the attorney general william barr, is the anti-mueller, he is smart, principled and successful. and as you can see, very talented musically.i love bagpipes to tell you the truth. an 11 attorney general who can do this to kick off prosecutors. today demonstrating how intellectual leader opens remarks. right here tonight, we will have the story. and president trump is this
10:02 pm
evening on his way to osaka, japan. where he will attend the g 20 summit where the president plans to meet with a number of foreign leaders and among them, chinese president, xi jinping. who reneged on a trade deal. has all been forgiven? should it be? the president today said any prospect of a trade deal needs intellectual property theft protections. and if communist china is not open to such a deal in tariffs will continue. for more on the presidents trip to japan, return to fox news chief white house correspondent, john roberts in osaka. reporter: in osaka president trump faces possibly the most challenging g 20 of his presidency. with some high-profile, high-stakes bilateral is on the agenda. >> we are going to be meeting with a lot of countries. many of whom have been taken advantage of the united states
10:03 pm
but not so much anymore. soon not at all anymore. >> the president has eight one-on-one meetings plan. s xi jinping of china and the russian president vladimir putin. the present will also sit down with the prime minister of japan, the indian prime minister and australia, germany, turkey and the saudi crown prince. the meeting with xi jinping is clearly the most important. president trump attempting to put back on track trade talks that white house officials say were nearly complete until china reversed course. >> i'm hopeful that we see a deal but there needs to be the right efforts in place. we are were about 90 percent of the way there. i think we will complete this but we will see what we can get. >> ahead of the g 20 the president dialed back a bit on a start to slap tariffs on 25 percent on $300 billion in chinese goods if he cannot get a deal. >> my plan b is that if we
10:04 pm
don't make a deal, i will tariffs maybe not 25 percent, but maybe 10 percent. but i will tariffs the rest of the $600 billion that we are talking about. reporter: the meeting with vladimir putin is expected to focus on iran, middle east and ukraine. president trump today harshly critical in response. >> i am not sure their leaders care for their people. if they do, they will make a deal. if they don't, they are just thinking about themselves and their selfish and they are stupid if that is what they are doing. reporter: to put in contact with his meeting with vladimir putin, he wasn't so eager to see if you'll warn him against interfering in next year's election. >> i will have a very good conversation with him. what i say to him is none of your business. reporter: on his way to osaka, the president tweeted his thanks and graduations the center for peasant of emergency 4.5 alien dollar measure for the southern border. at the same time calling on congress to do more to close the loopholes and reduce the amount of illegal migration
10:05 pm
coming across the american southern border. lou: thank you very much. john roberts, in osaka. special counsel robert willis in his report, final report as special counsel would be his testimony. after being subpoenaed by the radical dems including jerry nadler and adam schiff, robert mueller has changed his mind and he is scheduled to appear at a hearing of two committees july 17.chief intelligence correspondent, catherine herridge on the more flexible robert mueller tonight from washington. >> from the beginning, robert mueller publicly resisted testifying. saying any testimony would not go beyond the four corner of his reports. but after recent negotiation, democrats confirmed special counsel will appear. >> he says it to the american people will be very important. because they been subjected to
10:06 pm
months of deception. >> house republicans say they are eager to pin him down on the democratic funded opposition research known as the steele dossier.and how early he concluded there was no criminal conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia. >> it says what it says it wants anything different to what we are going to find out is what started it all. >> is fox news first reporter lisa paige and former fbi director james comey gave private testimony last year. that russian collision was still unproven when robert mueller was appointed in may 2017. nine months into the initial fbi investigation. this morning on the fox business network the president unloaded.talking about communication between lisa paige and peter strzok. >> robert mueller terminated their text messages together. he terminated them. they are gone. and that is illegal.
10:07 pm
it is a crime. >> four hours of the president characterized the democrats political motivation. >> tremendous criminal activity on their side and they know. this is a diversion. i ask you this, does it ever stop? >> republicans and democrats will drill down on the only public statement by robert mueller of alleged obstruction by the president. >> under long-standing department policy, a president cannot be charged with a crime while in office is unconstitutional peer. >> at the time justice department officials were quick to assist there was nothing between mueller and bill barr. he said there were other factors not opinion. >> he said several times he was not saying that but for the opinion he would have found obstruction.
10:08 pm
>> the hearing will include a closed session with key mueller aids and logistical issues are to be worked out. with back-to-back hearings involving more than four dozen lawmakers. lou: sounds like quite a circus. thank you so much. robert mueller's track record is something less than stellar. it is in fact in many regards, abysmal as investigator and as prosecutor. among his failures of his long list over many years, as fbi director, his bureau became aware that the boston bombers were radicalizing in 2011. the russians in fact, warrant them about the brothers, two years before the attack. under miller the fbi focused on the wrong man. behind the september 11 murders. costing the bureau millions of dollars in damages. when one of the suspected scientist that was absolutely innocent, was found to be utterly innocent. in 2011, the fbi inspection
10:09 pm
division examined the director of intelligence, you naturally created by mueller and said the entire unit was broken should be burned down and start all over. from scratch. our first guest tonight, says that the special counsel robert mueller engage in what she calls a sanctimonious and biased investigation against president trump. joining us tonight, harmeet dhillon, vice president of the republican national lawyers association, rnc committee woman for california, member of the 2020 trump advisory council, great to have you with us. >> thank you. lou: it was as the president said, a witchhunt. 17 highly partisan, radical dems afloat, by their special counsel status to go after him. they come away up to 22 months with zilch, your thoughts? >> everything the president said that you quoted earlier in your segment is correct but then there's a lot more.when
10:10 pm
you add up all of the parts of robert mueller saying, president cannot be prosecuted, it is unconstitutional. then why did he take the assignment in the first place? it doesn't really add up. in washington we get a bill of goods of particular high profile establishment figures like robert mueller and they say he is the best guy for the guy and even people on his network study. and it turns out to be business as usual. there can be no doubt today that robert mueller is on the side of the democrats. he did not have to respond to the subpoena and say that he will testify. he should never have said anything even in the nine minute press conference that he did. his report is an impeachment report which is not his job as special counsel and the statute should be abolished, we should never again have these rogue prosecutors being able to go out there with unlimited budgets and higher democrats
10:11 pm
and make a mockery of the department of justice. it should end after the spirit. >> you say a rogue prosecutor. i think he was doing exactly as he was ordered. i think he did exactly as he planned. highly ideological partisan prosecutor, he was persecuting the president of the nine states with every intent of finding any scintilla of evidence which would lay a foundation to overthrow the president. not simply subvert the ministration overthrow. for the life of me, i do not understand what he tolerates lindsey graham, chairman of the judiciary committee who should be focusing right now with all of his energy and all of his talent, however, much he possesses, and the powers of his committee, to investigate what is going on, what went on
10:12 pm
for 2 and a half really, almost 3 years. 11 months of an fbi investigation, this president, 22 months under special counsel, it is absolute ignorance to put up with it. and lindsey graham lays little rhetorical partisan games. is he on the president's side today or on the side of who knows what the next! >> i think you put your finger on the problem. which is that the president comes and goes in washington but it is the same cast of characters on both sides who tend to warm the seeds for generations and at several problem in our system because the allegiance tends to be to each other. as opposed to the truth or the party or what is good for the country. or what's good for the perception of the system of government going forward. for me as a civil rights lawyer and someone who believes in due process and equal protection, the fact that the department of justice is allowed to run amok this way and train its immense power against not just specific individuals like paul manafort and general flynn and many others, but the president of the united states, to really
10:13 pm
substitute the judgment of these for all of the american voters is truly outrageous. democrats should remember, it could happen to their present next time around. we really cannot have us as americans. lou: forgive me, for being shortsighted. but i really care what has happened here. there is no hypothetical, there is no question, there is no -- there is no future, there is just the reality that we have been up -- in every sense of the word under barack obama, the intelligence committee, justice department and fbi. and there is no accounting for a single one of those sorry souls who have gone against the constitution and our government and our way of life. >> i agree. and we have not got to the bottom yet. with the fisa court, i question
10:14 pm
whether it will ever happen i don't think it is the willpower to do that but i do hope some republicans on the committee and house will ask hard questions of mark meadows and some others that say they are going to do that. they going to escorted robert mueller investigate after he knew there was no rush inclusion? what did it take so long? why haven't they got to the bottom of the correction in the fbi? i think we know the answer it's a rhetorical question but they need to be asked. and we need answers before the next election. lou: as you say that all can think of is trey gowdy with hillary clinton front of the committee. his committee for 11 hours and he doesn't lay a glove on her. >> i agree. lou: it is just disgusting to watch what was passing for republican dynamism under two years of paul ryan and the house of representatives, the speaker and under mitch mcconnell as the majority leader of this effete and innovative republican party in the senate. it is pathetic, pitiful and
10:15 pm
every republican in the country can be forgiven for saying simply, we -- you know, basically shame on you. harmeet, your talented and hopeful energy and we hope that you will go get them as well. >> thank you. i am on it. lou: you are to be admired and respected and we hope, we wish you all the very best. harmeet dhillon. thank you. up next, radical dems standing in defiance of the president's plans to fix the border crisis, to solve the national emergency. but how quickly to forget the obama administrations stances, postures and actions on a legal immigration. >> our message absolute is do not send your children unaccompanied on trains or
10:16 pm
through a bunch of smugglers. we don't know how many of these kids don't make it that may have been sent to sex trafficking or killed if they fell off a train, we have no way of tracking a. that is our direct message to the families in central america. do not send your children to the borders. if they do make it, they will get sent back.more important, they may not make it. lou: his achievements, it is arguable that there are few. but the president, obama had a gift, didn't he? for making it seem like as he spoke there, that he had not been in office for just about six years. and he wasn't the one responsible for all that had unfolded on the southern border. next, the unbelievable power next, the unbelievable power tech giants google,

10:21 pm
telling writers, the theft or part of an elaborate scheme to advance the chinese economy. no kidding? really? the u.s. justice department called the chinese denial of the attacks ritualistic and bogus. i mean, i think they meant to say, that the chinese communists were lying sob's. last night a stunning warning about the power that google and other tech giants possess. >> google and similar companies like facebook are completely unregulated in the united states. they can do whatever they please, and if they all work together in 2020 two support the same presidential candidate which is very likely, they can shift upwards of 15 million votes with no one knowing that they been manipulated and leaving a paper trail for
10:22 pm
authorities to trace. lou: join us a former reagan white house political director fox business analyst, leading republican strategist and the savant himself. good to see you. let's start with the chinese hacking. can you imagine anything dumber than the united states and its responses the theft, trillions of dollars in intellectual property and we are negotiating with the chinese to say, you know, in this agreement, there has to be a solid promise that you will not steal our stuff. i mean, is that not one of the dumbest things you've ever heard? >> absolute. first of all, they've always stolen. it is basic premise. whatever was made here, they can get a copy of it, they would steal it. the scary part is that 15 million votes, the presidential election for the last election was won by trump by 77,000
10:23 pm
votes in wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan. you do not have to shift many to change the dynamics of a presidential campaign. i think someone has to get on top of that. i don't know who will do it, someone needs to do it in the present needs to make that the highest priority. lou: one of the people has to do is the president's campaign manager. another who has to do it is the chair of the republican national committee.i don't get the feeling that there is a nationwide effort to assure electoral integrity at the grassroots. that is in every single voting precinct district across the country, a way in which to judge the legitimacy of a registrant and ultimately, a voter. >> even though he looked at a lot of election for this last time, reality is there are a lot of votes out there sitting in piles as we are discovering to the efforts of some other guests on the shows.

10:31 pm
dems house legislation that prevents dhs and health and human services from sharing information about the cartels that smuggle children across the border. the republican led senate today overwhelmingly passed a version of the $4.6 billion immigration bill. rejecting the house version. both bills however, do nothing to address reforming asylum and illegal immigration law loopholes. president trump today slammed the radical dems and their failure to try to fix the border crisis. >> the democrats refused to change the loopholes. they refused to change the asylum. in one hour, we can have it done, they want to have open borders and open borders means
10:32 pm
crime. lou: they are trying to do just that. now there is a drama you're witnessing right now in washington. whether in the house or senate, it's all about delivering to the koch brothers and the chamber of commerce exactly what they want, that is amnesty and borders that will remain wide open irrespective of a just and they put all around it. and it ultimately comes out of the center between the house and the senate on the issue. congress has until friday to pass a bipartisan so-called immigration bill for recess for the fourth of july. talk about pressure. joining us tonight, homeland security reporter for the washington examiner, who is doing terrific work and it is great to have you with us, anna. let's start with this legislation but it looks like a horn swaggle as was in texas. what do you think? >> are trying to bring houston across the table and republicans are accusing them
10:33 pm
of having poison pills in the supplemental bill. at this point nancy pelosi said is going to take both parties to come to the table and they are not going to concede to republicans. so once again we are at this impasse with two days to go. and probably the most important person in this discussion acting secretary kevin mcaleenan is out of the country in guatemala, have not heard from him. lou: yes and kevin mcaleenan is there to work on the third nation arrangement for asylum-seekers who would then be kept from entering the united states and entering asylum infrastructure and process which is an absolute disaster right now. your thoughts about your own reporting that five, as i recall, five sources that the acting secretary was behind the leaks on the president's proposed interior enforcement by immigration and customs
10:34 pm
enforcement. >> you know, lou, go down to the border pretty frequently. i've been down there 40 days since january. a lot of contact. lou: good for you. >> i.c.e. everything, after the story went up saturday, that said, the secretary was the mastermind in this leak to the post. lou: right. >> i had a number of officials, rank and file, upper department officials, a variety reaching out to say thank you, this is exactly what we have been concerned about that our secretary is not with us. and so now with the new i.c.e. director mark morgan moving to customs and border protection, the concern is, the president's dream team in place. but the other issue is, the secretary -- lou: immigration services. >> is the secretary going to let everyone do what the administration and the white house wants to do?
10:35 pm
lou: and you think, is there an obvious answer? because i want to point out. mcaleenan and i had a discussion two days ago on the phone. he swore to me he was not the source of those leaks. your thoughts about what the future holds? >> the fact that i have had so many dhs rank and file employees reach out to me, i just got a text that from a senior administration official saying that the morale and dhs is so bad people are quote - dropping like flies. and the secretary is expected to have a press conference tomorrow and try to clear his name and save face.but at this point it looks like one of my sources are saying it is just too little too late. lou: right. well, i appreciate it, your report is outstanding. we look forward to speaking to

we learn more and more about the deep state efforts to overthrow president trump. it has been cover the atlantic council digital forensic research lab has connections to the firm ground strike, the
10:40 pm
very same firm that found evidence of russians hacking the d&c so it is alleged, and an allegation that the fbi without its own inspection of the servers, accepted. and who sits by the randy atlantic council international advisory board. there would be former director, national intelligence, james klapper. what a neat little tight bunch these folks are! 700 wayfarer workers today walked off the job, they were upset protesting the sale of furniture to a new detention center in texas intended for detained illegal immigrant children.in response, wafer founder donated $100,000 to the red cross in a futile effort to take the workers, the little snowflakes, and their hurt feelings who want the prophets to go to legal aid for illegal immigrants. that is what upset them.
10:41 pm
can you make this stuff up? you could but why, when you have this in front of our very eyes. >> -- great to have you with us, good to see you, byron. >> thank you, lou. lou: you cannot make up these snowflakes. i mean think about it, don't sell the furniture so they don't have beds, they don't have necessary you know, furniture. for their stays and detention, this is moronic! nonsense! >> is also what the latest fight is about in which both democrats and republicans are trying to improve the conditions for migrants who are being held on the border. but you know i think now is a time to really remember just how many democrats have denied that there is a crisis at the
10:42 pm
border. i did a piece and went back and looked at what a lot of them are saying in january and february. absolutely, flatly denying there was a crisis. it was a fake crisis, it was manufactured by the president, it was phony, it did not exist. i stopped at 26 examples because i was running out of space but it could've gone a whole bunch more. it was a very very different thing. lou: your suggestion that the democratic party is filled with radicals and sanctimonious hypocrite and other deniers? i am shocked. this is a party that is no longer. this is not partisan, this is deeply, deeply, profoundly evil versus good. because the entire party, jerry nadler today talking about months of deception. he was careful not to mention that it was his deception.
10:43 pm
that has been behind much of the efforts to harass and persecute this president. >> by the way, on immigration, nadler was one who denied that there was a crisis. and there are a number of common sense things that could have been done and could still be done to ease the situation. one is to construct a physical barrier, the other -- lou: recalled a wall in some places. >> fix immigration laws so that people who are applying for asylum have to wait outside the united states. and the other is to quickly return people who cross illegally into the united states, democrats flat-out oppose each one of these things. they will never change. lou: not only never change, they have for 30 years, successfully held republicans, what few of them have been
10:44 pm
constant in their support of border security, and reforming our immigration laws. they held them at bay. and the koch brothers, the chamber of commerce, wall street, the national association of manufacturers, the list goes on. business, multinationals are running along with the cartels, five cartels in mexico, they are running our border and immigration policy. don't you agree? >> actually. over the number of years democrats really became united about immigration. if you go back to the failed efforts of comprehensive immigration reform in 2006 and 2007, there were still democrats like bernie sanders who oppose this. basically on the basis of american labor and not wanting to reduce wages for american labor. since the time during the obama years, democrats basically united completely around a more liberal immigration stance and
10:45 pm
republicans have always been divided between those, the chamber of commerce republicans you talk about another she wanted more restriction this policy. if you have one party united the other is divided, the united party will win. lou: every time. byron york, always good to -- want you come back once or twice a week we why don't you do that? >> i am happy to be here, just call. lou: you got it! byron york. chinese companies are dodging u.s. tariffs on billions of dollars in goods. it is not fair. i tell you, it is not fair! we're going to expose the unfairness. china stealing trillions of dollars, running over us, but we are in talks. good, it is really good. i sure hope. we will have that right after we will have that right after the all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell.
10:46 pm
fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. bill's back needed a afvacation from his vacation. an amusement park... so he stepped on the dr. scholl's kiosk. it recommends our best custom fit orthotic to relieve foot, knee, or lower back pain. so you can move more. dr. scholl's. born to move. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

10:50 pm
were about 90 percent of the way on a deal before the communist chinese dictator, xi jinping -- [laughter] i mispronounced that.and i have to tell you it was not on purpose. president trump today says the deal could still happen but he's also happy with where we are now. and that is our president. companies have been dodging american tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, the wall street journal reports they do it by processing american goods through countries and then export them to us. they turn out to be at the minimum, the vietnamese and others pay they been trying to read other practice known as transshipment others call it clever thievery. general site, national security expert, present for the center for security policy, great to have you with us, k.t.
10:51 pm
mcfarland great to have you with us. let's start with, today i call for full restitution for the chinese before anyone signs a deal for trade. they owe trillions of dollars for what they have stolen, why in the hell shouldn't have to pay us for what they've taken before we go into long-term deal? that by preposition. >> sounds good to me for 20 years they've taken advantage of the united states. why? because it could. because american presidents let them get away with it. lou: this president says the hell with you. >> that is why there in a flutter because they were not expecting this, they do not expect him to talk to them and say game over, new deal. lou: what you think, fred? >> this would be like reparations. lou: will be restitution if they had stolen something which is quite different from reparations. >> i tried to throw the word out there because of the

debates tonight. [laughter] lou: i don't even want to talk about that. the president says, they are uninteresting people and i want no part. >> i agree with that. will be pocahontas -- [multiple speakers] lou: is all the chinese have stolen. you're talking about commies who have stolen from the greatest free enterprise capitalist economy without response from the greatest democratic republic in history. and -- lou: >> i agree with that. lou: can we market as a yes? >> if there will ever be in agreement this is the time because the china economy is in a trouble. lou: i don't care. wait a minute, there will be an agreement. if there will be an agreement there has to be a number of things. one is full restitution, trillions of dollars. the bonds that are held that you -- i mean we go through with the chinese government owes us, it is just the on

compare. >> asked be good agreement. just today there is news that the chinese consumer spending as we do, they are hurting badly aside from the tariffs the president has impose on the if is a moment to get a deal is that mom appearing with you we have to press for a truly good deal. but this is a great time for the chinese and american president to sit down because we are at a very strong position. lou: we are in a strong position but we have to get exactly what we are owed before we even begin to think about a way forward. i mean this nonsense on the part of the chinese paid by the way in case any of the geniuses out there, at various left-wing media outlets include most of the business -- all these tariffs, all of this discussion about balanced trade, what has it done? absolutely nothing to our economic performance, and point of fact this president has achieved unheard of success.

[laughter] because i think that we will not trip into war with iran. i think trump has a where he wants it. for the same reason as china. the economy is in trouble, six percent inflation, six percent contraction, we don't need that we don't need their oil. lou: i get your point but fred, i also as she's describing it frankly others reference on employment, you have the same unemployment rate as some other countries, is not a country where i think is on the ropes.
10:55 pm
it needs great improvement. but i think you know, relying upon the state of their economy to move them politically perhaps is a hope too far. >> that is exactly right. the mainstream media tried to say the president has to do something to lower tension. he caused this. no, i ran because this by shooting down a drone, by increasing support to terrorism. the president's policy is working, he does not have to do anything. the mullahs in iran 's court. lou: i think that is a right. greg, k.t. thank you for being here calling all sunscreen haters. you're gonna love this. new coppertone sport clear.
