said to have killed many people in the most brutal fashion, they should never have been allowed in our country for so long, 10 years, we've arrested and deported thousands of gang members, ms-13 could i.c.e. and border control are doing a great job. tpresident referring to 22 ms-13 members charged systematically and brutally killing at least 7 people, using medieval style killing techniques, federal law enforce. said they have not seen in decades. >> one of the defendants allegedly carved out his heart before throwing the body parts who a canyon. gregg: the 22 gang members are also thought to be responsible for hundreds of other crimes in several other states, they are based in los angeles, mind you they are here illegally. joining me now, national border patrol counsel vice president

art dell questione quedo, thank. >> thank you. gregg: you consider these individuals who have been here illegally, and juxtapose what so many democratic candidates and other democrats advocate, decriminalization and open borders, does that strike you as insanely dangerous? not loonilnot only dangerous but disgusting, you are being a traitor to people who voted you into office, they have been voted to political position to take care of the people of united states, you were voted on my american citizens, one thing about ms-13 members, those are bona fide that we know have committed crime, there are many individuals that cross into united states, that are coming in here with false asylum claims, many are being released, they are never shows up to their

court date, we do not know about what or if any crime they have committed in their open country, we could preliminary -- potentially be overrun by a lot of these gang members in united states and we don't know it, that is a serious problem. gregg: assuming they get caught, these 22 were just busted, they are responsible for hundreds of crimes outside of the murders they committed. it is difficult to quantify this, it under scores we have no way of recap turing these individual -- recap turing these injuries. >> you are right, big argument, i hear, we have criminal in the united states, gang members, i know, that i'm nottic 94 an igno that fact, but i don't need to

be importing more of them to build a bigger criminal empire here in america, we need to start getting serious about this border security. we have been hearing different words, an emergency, a crise,'s super crisis. enough with trying to figure out what to name it, congress needs to get together and do something about it. gregg: other aspect beyond ms-13 talk about drug dealers. cartels that are reportedly operating with impunity at border, pushing tons of drugs into united states, because our forces there, border patrol and support troops sent, they are not enough to take care of the crisis, meth price of meth is now nose dived down to a cheap price because border patrol can note do their real job. is that -- the assessment,

correct? >> we're seeing a rise in drug. people when they hear drugs they think it is just marijuana, i remind them, it is still illegal, but we're seeing more and more dangerous drugs like methamphetamine, her hero in, is plaguing our school, not just coming through border and staying at border it comes to middle of america and flagging g plaguing your schools we need to get serious about, i have been on different shows talking about it enough is enough, congress, you need to get serious about defending our borders. >> trump administration is trying to battle this. but you know their hands are tied often times by democrats in congress, pentagon sending 2100 new troops to the border. is it interesting that the

democrats now are not complaining about that as they did. when the president several months ago ordered 5,000 troops to the border, they were howling and complaining then. because, they said it was a fake crisis, not a crisis at all, i guess they realize it really is a crisis. >> well, i hop they -- hope they realize we need too fix it, that is the ultimate goal. now everyone that understands there is a problem, how about concentrating on fixing it, there are a lot of men, women that are overworked and over capacity, something needs to be done. gregg: a new bipartisan proposal bandied about, it would essentially give migrant families 15 days to prove merits of their asylum claim or they will be deported. what do you think of that? >> i think that is great, anything they can do to fast

track it to start limiting some of the false claims is a big deal, as we've been reporting, and saying before, a lot of these individual they cam in here, they claim they have asylum claims, they understood the loophole when they came to juveniles, they would come in with juveniles knowing they could not be detained longer than 20 days, a lot of politicians say, they came in with children, you have to understand underage of 18 is a child, a lot was these people came in with 16-year-old, 15-year-old, 14-year-old juveniles, and they were getting released within united states, at that age these kids are schooled to say, yes, it is my mom or dad, when we don't know if it was real their parent. gregg: all right quick. acting dhs secretary, has been trying to explain the scourge of human trafficking that taking place down there. how bad is it?

>> it is bad. as i said, we're still well over capacity in our holding cells, we have a lot of -- agents that take care of duties went processing area, and taking care of individuals, they would be better utilized if they were out there defending front line from drugs and illegal aliens entering our country. >> art del cueto thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up, president trump takes aim at radical dim 2020 challengers. >> sleepy joe not looking too good, a new one that knocked hell out of biden, he said i was not prepared for that question, that is not a good answer, buttigieg. he is a beauty, he runs a failed city, his city doing so badly, bernie, let me save you, a lot of time, you missed your time, it got taken from you 4 years

ago. gregg: the left wing national media diminishing america's space program, and praises the soviet union. we'll have that and more after these quick messages. ♪ limu emu & doug look limu. a civilian buying a new car. let's go. limu's right. liberty mutual can save you money by customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. oh... yeah, i've been a customer for years. huh... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

gregg: "new york times" diminishing one of america's ams greatest achievement. running an op-ed criticizing how nasa won the space race, claiming soviet union won the space race for equality, diversity was key. under socialism, a person of even humblist origins could make it all of the way up. it is a garden vacation spot. another "new york times" opinion piece, tom friedman questions the radical agenda of 2020 dems, title, trump is going to get reelected, isn't he, writes, i was shocked so many candidates top get rid of private health

insurance, ready to decriminal easelling well entry to country and shocked as those hands raised in support of providing comprehensive health to undocumented immigrants. and free. joining me now, former reagan white house political director, fox business political analyst, ed rollins. if you are too liberal for tom friedman you are way off the tracks. >> the president is perfectly positioned, and democrats are going further and further to left, only reason that russia beat american is they put a monkey in space before we dwe put men in space, and dominated that space program. anyone that diminishees that is -- >> times is increasing let's looking like provda. >> it is. gregg: last night, huge crowd in

north carolina. people lining up at 4:00 a.m. for an evening rally by trump. was that a message that would resonate with nort nok -- north carolinians in. >> i am not second guessing what president does, but as a strategist, i would saw put them up front not in the back. gregg: you talk about the squad. >> i want the squad, socialist squad, two are devout socialists, i would have them up front, give them a mic every chance, don't go away, they won't did away. they will be there for a long time, let's hear what shea say, everything they say is uneducated, not saleable and will make us -- >> amazing to you that 4 freshmen, freshmen, just 4, who don't know much, and they have

no experience, every time they open their mouths they demonstrate their ignorance. have this out sized influence now that seems to be total taking over the democratic party. >> social media. aoc has 4 million followers. o.j. simpson got out of prison he has 900 million. not much to get a twitter account built up, but they know what they talking about but not sale able to american public, green program is something that would drop the country, i think that more they talk the more they represent the democratic party. the better it is for all republicans. >> and like a that have no edit button. >> and there is no knowledge level, normally a freshman comes in learns -- they are entitled to votes. you know they represent boston, and detroit, parts of detroit,

parts of minnesota. and so you know, at the end of the day, and parts of queens, they are not, die hard republican basis, we're not going to beat them, walk them to the front of the bus. gregg: in front of the line. >> and let them talk all way want and let trump pound them into the ground, let them do it themselves. >> it is too easy. really. >> like a punching bag with speed button. gregg: i was look at a gallup poll, second quarter trump leads with his highest approval rating. actually matches obama, and man you worked for ronald reagan before they were elect -- reelected. >> by landslides both of them, reagan won 49 states and 58% of the vote. but, you know my sense that momentum, once an opponent gets in the mix, that still 20 candidates out there.

you know at end was day when trump can focus on them and compare their record with what they want to do with country, compares to what he has done his numbers go up. gregg: do you think radical open borders decriminalize, everyone that come here, free health care, and everything, is that creating perhaps a boomerang of support for patriotism in america? >> i think so, that was a positive them for reagan in 1984 with olympics and that benefits us. the key thing here i think is not that republicans are anti-immigrations we're pro-immigrants for with proper immigration program, we take a billion 8 every year, and idea to have open borders is just absurd, you will never control it the cost of that, you know i think we have to -- until they have border security, which

democrats are not willing to do, you will neff get the rest -- never get the rest, that beneficial for country wrong term, a lot of great college kids that come to the great universities, they want to stay and can't, and a lot of hard working people who want to come here and live the american dream, that is what wement, we . want. >> 600 billion in 10 years -- >> we should not -- promise them free everything is not realistic. gregg: so dumb. ed rollins be great to see you. >> thank you put them out front. gregg: out front, aoc, the squad, up next political correctness run among in northern california, one city wants to call a manhole a

maintains hole, and the other stuff, you are going to get a good chuckle out of this, stick

reporter: u updating code will cost 600 from general fund, and berkeley first city in california to ban natural gas, in new building construction. sutosupporters say to help fight climate change. gregg: stop laughing, colorado state university, has a list of words for students to avoid. university said america, and american are noninclusive words, because you know, america actually encompasses more than just united states, they prefer students use term, person from the u.s. or u.s. citizen. and you are not allowed to use male or female or ladies and gentlemen, because, you know that is -- offensive. joining me now, sa sabestian go.

you know. i grew up in california. i'm laughinga the this berkeley story, i lived in san francisco, everyone referred to berkeley across the bay as berserkly, not much has changed has it? >> i commend you on being as normal as you are gregg jarrett, i did not know you are from california. if you want to not use the word america, falling on from a theme from last night in greenville, leave america. this is insane. look, i have -- i have a relative gregg who works for city of san francisco, this is not a joke. gregg: i'm sorry. >> yes. she had to attend mandatory training for the city employees recently. where she was lectured on fact from this day forth, if you work for city of san francisco, you

are forbidden from use word homeless person. you must refer to homeless people, not a joke, as urban campers. [ laughter ] gregg: you nade m made me laugh. >> i have one question with regard to manhole, how many women are going down those manholes to work in sewers, i would bet about as many work on our deep sea oil rigs, and work in our coal mines, this is insanity. sheer insanity. gregg: you have to love california, i lived there 30 years. what can i say. all right, i was looking at house oversight committee report today. and they have collected all of the data, the data reveals that most of the migrant children have been reunited, that sticks

a pin in the balloon of liberals who are still howling to this day about that. doesn't it? >> it does. but what is more disturbing the report that came out in the daily mail, they are using rapid dna testing at border. they found that a third a third of the children that have crossed in so-called family units were not actually related to the adults who brought them across the border, this is exploiting children. gregg, of course, it is. >> for preliminary o preliminarf the cartel. gregg: you knew it was the going on. >> what is shocking democrats speech to us they care about women and charge, they could not care a damn, if they cared about the women and children, 60 to 80% of women are being raped or seattlelsexually abused and 30%f

children are not related to the people, if they want to stop the abuse they would join us in building the wall, not about humanitarian crisis, but about political power, that is what is disgusting. >> speak of building the wall, one of many thing that president tried to do. to combat what is a crises at the democrat and media said for so long was not a crisis. not just building a wall but recent i.c.e. raids, deportations. the new third country asylum rule. what can and should be done. >> i have tom homan on my show today, i asked him that question, we need to deport all people, 90 plus% of people who are given deportation orders, and did not turn up to their last court case. and disappeared into america. we have become a lawless state

because of the sudde sanctuary s and democrats deli deliberately creating this situation. none of squad members were prepared to denounce the firebombing of an i.c.e. detention follow, what the antifa person who did that, use the language of alexandria ocasio-cortez. when he talked about detention centers, president had to disavoidance organic chance from his rally, but democrats don't have too disavow terrorism, done with their rea reterritory -- rhetorical flourish, that citizen outrage. gregg: sebastian gorka, thank you so much. >> thank you. gregg: follow lou dobbs. coming up next judicial watch

gregg: welcome back, i am gregg

jarrett sitting in for vacationing lou dobbs. in a september 2016 enail email exchange. newland and coordinator for libya, jonathan winier, discuss a face to days meeting on a russia matter. joining me now, ma mar -- harm d dillon. member of 2020 trump advisory count, good to see you. thank you. gregg: it was not just fbi, department of justice. who were peddling this phony dossier from steele. paid the for by hillary clinton

campaign. but now we know it was you know, clinton's old state department, in obama administration. pretty much doing the thing. all of which was used to create a hoax that begat a witch-hunt, do i state it correctly? >> absolutely, we heard about this involvement of state department since day one. now we're seeing evidence in black and white, it makes sense because all of this benefit hillary clinton, their former state department colleague, there was a lot of cover-up activity over her abuse of e-mails and et cetera. it you know, we're -- hillary likes to say it take a village, it took a village of swamp characters to pull off had incredible episode against our country's president. gregg: i bet we only know a

fraction of the krup corrupt acs that took place, seemed of day new evidence emerges. a couple days ago we learn that fbi had a whole spreadsheet i did bunking christopher steele dossier, yet they are exploiting it to try to damage trump. >> and applying for new fisa warrants based on it and lie to judges. i think what happened here is really undermined faith of the american people in our system of justice. it is objective tie, unless something is done to hold them accountable, i don't know we'll redeem that back. today's release shows that there

are so many people borrowed into the government at every level involved in this they are still there they are still there right now operating in the executive branch, at various levels, undermining our country, that is scary, they are like termites. you don't see them until it is like 5 years later. gregg: until the house falls down. >> right. gregg: you said holding people accountable. that segues nicely to words of attorney general william barr. he knows what went on. he knows what fbi and doj were doing, engaging in lawless acts, which caused him to say, i'm paraphrasing here. how did we get to the point where the president of united states for two years is being accused of being a russian agent of committing betweens treason,d out it's not true and allegations were based on

nothing. that is really the reason why he launched an investigation of the investigators of fbi. deputy of justice. how optimistic are you that people will be held accountable in the barr administration of the doj? >> gregg, we share something that and i am a crusty trial lawyer, i think somewhat cynical, i will not believe it until i see it from i i have seen the swamp, bipartisan swamp protects itself, we've seen a lot of punches pulled so far, i am hopeful william barr will be able to flip the script, about after the people for the sake of justice, for sake of restoring g -- integrity to greats law enforcemenenforceen amenforcemee

world. gregg: the truth is slow to emerge. but eventually i am optimistic can -- it will, harmeet dhillon thank you. >> thank you. gregg: trump calling out corrupt government official in puerto rico for robbing u.s. government blind, as vie protest erupt in streets of san juan, demonstrator demand that governor rossello's resignation, they want resello to step down after a leak of on-line chats, the messages, appear to show rose sello and his adviser mocking women and victims of hurricane maria. >> coming up next, does your political affiliation inblew ine your belief in the american

dream? we take it up queen is just my everything. right now, i wouldn't know where my life would be without her. queen: they say chivalry is dead, it's not. terrance is a gentleman, he opens doors. his smile did it. his smile, his eyes, his knowledge. my landlord, he decided that he wanted me to move based on the fact that i was transgender.

it takes me to a place of no hope. it takes me to a place of loneliness. it just, it saddens me. when you discriminate against somebody in housing, where do these people go? let's just respect people in everyday life for just being human. we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands!

check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not.

gregg: belief in obtaining american dream believes in which party you belong to, 88% of g.o.p. voters, see american dream as achievable. compared to just 60% for the

dimms, study also found republicans were more likely than democrats to hav extreme pride in being american. >> joining me to talk about republican strategist, former chair of nevada republican party, amy. pride in the nation. nearly as much among democrat as republicans. >> that is depressing. i find, but not surprising. step back to prior administration, former first lady michelle obama say for first time she was proud to be an american when her husband was put in office, that is her first time? that is not okay to say, now with democrats in house that are saying that being american is filled with hypocrisy, we should not use motto or term that is american greatness. the whole motto that our current president used with make america

great again, they find that offensive, no, i did not find this surprising. gregg: hypocrisy among specially those in the squad, including representative omar seems to be conspicuous for all to see, for example she refuses to apologize for anti-semitic tweets. here is the president talking last night at the rally about the squad. >> representativ represent reprs the united states for the terrorist attacks on our country. omar minimizes september 11 attacks, on our homeland saying, some people did something. some people did something. gregg: what is your take. >> some people did something. that just blows me away, the

fact too she also brought today a resolution in support of the bdidf movement against israel, israel is our biggest ally this woman is a fraud, this woman needing to be investigated this woman does not have our american values in the best interest. >> i don't know if democrat leadership sun responsiblin -- g to rein them in or unable, which is it. >> i think unable. a cartoon of speaker pelosi in the driver seat, rolling her eyes with the squad. whining like little children in the backseat. gregg: i have not seen that. talk about kamala harris. here shih sh she is talking abot her grand idea for healthcare. >> people who have private

insurance would have to give up that under your plan. >> they would becoverred you were medicare for all and still see their doctor. >> this done without a middle class tax hike. >> yes. >> 40 trillion under 10 years there. >> are ways to pay for continuing the investment we'll be making. gregg: did she seem like she had no idea what she was talking about. liberal new york magazine, has a take down of kamala harris entitled, kamala harris medicare for all plan makes no sense. incomp hencincomprehensible. >> they are 100% correct, i think that kamala harris desires most is not to fix healthcare system but power. she is willing to say whatever it takes. to cater to whichever side to

whom ever her audience is at that point, also flip flopped on there are side, she sounds to be a bernie sanders single payer supporter. shflip-flops, she will take whatever it takes to win this primary. she is basically -- >> she is too far left. >> yes. gregg: don't take my word for it tom friedman, a progressive liberal he writes columns for "new york times." said they have gone too far. and all they are doing is if they a revolution, they should focus on revolution of unseating president trump but with all of these silly proposals, medicare for all, decriminalize, open border, free healthcare for illegals, they will alienate the populist and lose, she probably right. >> he is 100% correct, they are

pandering, it so obvious they are pandering, they will lose because of it. gregg: is it too late to pivot to center. >> i wish it were, unfortunately in politics there is still a long, long time before the election to go. so, they might be able to safe some of their -- save some of their mess steps between thousand and then. gregg: look at flip flop in dictionary it has a picture of american politicians, they are famous, they have a memory of a day, and don't remember like joe biden all of the positions that he has taken over 40 year career, he is now, divorcing himself from. >> they are ready good at it, that is something that i think american public was tired of. gregg: amy gate to see you, i have not seen you since we were out in las vegas, nevada. >> you have to come back. gregg: i would love to. >> we're first in in the west.

>> i'm coming back. >> up next, more on the russian matter that obama era officials wanted to talk about with associates of -- guess who? the mala droit ex spy from great britain, we're coming right

gregg: on wall street stocks closing higher. and just a reminder to lisp to lou's reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. the. harmeet dhillon blasting the role of the swamp in protecting hillary clinton. >> all of this is to benefit hillary clinton, their former state department colleague. there was a lot of cover-up activity at the state department over her abuse of emails. where hillary likes to say it takes a village. it took a village of wamp characters to pull off this incredible episode against our country's president. gregg: new reports suggesting president trump is planning on tapping eugene scalia as his
