>> good evening. the radical dimhs obstruction, subversion and continuing effort to overthrow the trump presidency is showing significant signs of wear and weakness in their mad dash to contrive a fraudulent and rapidly dissent graight impeachment charge against the president, the dimms created not only an announce for the president, but for themselves. they appear to have created a bit of quicksand. and that sucking sound you hear is the sinking of their hopes to frame president trump and once again their lies laid bare before the voters.

here is one of president trump's tweets showing this. the presidential dare comes in the midst of yet another wave of disappointment and bad news for the lying leftists and radical dimms. president trump's attorney rudy giuliani is still debating whether he will defy congressional subpoenas. the secretary of state mike pompeo flat out rejected the radical dimm committee chairman saying the state department will not allow congress to bully and disrespect distinguished diplomats. their obvious fictional plot to take down the president. new reports that joe manchin and

jon tester are worried pelosi and schiff have already damaged the party with their half-baked impeachment probe that is spinning out of control. and it could prove costly in next years elections. for the latest, we turn to chief white house correspondent, john roberts. reporter: the president's outside attorney, rudy giuliani hasn't decided whether to comply with a congressional subpoena for documents. neither has the secretary of state. but mike pompeo was doing his best to keep state department officials away from capitol hill. the secretary of state fired back today against a house demand to depose five current and former state department officials. in a letter to foreign affairs chairman elliott engel. he said the demand could only be understood as an attempt to bully distinguished

professionals at the department of state. while posm pay oh didn't say no, he said the subject of your letter may not appear without counsel from the executive branch present. the president demanding to know his or her identity of the whistleblower tweeting why aren't we allowed to know the identity of the whistleblower and the person who gave the information to him. michael cat kin on revealing -- michael atkinson revealing the whistleblower said he or she possessed beth first and second hand information. the i.g. did not say what information the whistleblower had information on.

members of the relevanting congressional committees may get a chance to meet with the whistle blower as soon as next week. fox news is being told plans are being made for a possible meeting away from capitol hill to help protect the whistleblower's identity. >> so what are the radical dimms, pelosi, schiff, schumer, left with? right now it appears not much. how should the trump administration deal with a congress unyielding in its efforts, no matter how futile and silly to overthrow president trump. to take that up, we have the senior policy advisor for the president, stephen miller. what a week it has been. let's start with a backdrop for this if i may. suddenly we are hearing from schumer and pelosi and several

others that they want to negotiate with the president and are ready to sit down and talk about usmca, gun control, you name it, apparently. they seem to think they shouldn'tly have the upper hand with the president. your reaction. >> i do agree senate democrats are probably terrified abouthe cliff they are being driven over by pelosi and the radical election nullifying democrats in the house of representatives. i don't doubt that's the case. but let's be clear what the even deep fear is. the deepest fear is the deep state is terrified of being exposed. what we have now is a situation in which the attorney general of the united states and john durham are going to get to the bottom of what really happened in 2016. and we'll find out what went on and what was done to try to sabotage this president and sabotage this administration. that has the deep state and

their democrat allies terrified. lou: terrified it seems of ways an highly unusual effort in what is a bizarre plot at best. not even the stuff of fiction, because it's so implausible. but the idea that they would make much of the president asking a foreign leader to meet or talk with his attorney general and to accommodate the law enforcement and national security investigative needs of this country and ally of ukraine. on what basis would that be irregular? >> i have some breaking news, lou. the president of the united states is the nation's highest ranking law enforcement officer. it seems like some of our democrats need a civics lesson. just because joe biden may be running for president, doesn't mean he's immune from scrutiny and his family is immune from

scrutiny for corrupt behavior in ukraine and china. the president of the united states is together american people a profound service by getting to the bottom of corruption in ukraine. all americans have a right to know how our taxpayer dollars are being spent. whether high officials are engaging in corrupt behavior and whether ukraine interfered in 2016. lou: there is some concern that the president in the face of this onslaught, no matter how i can they the i am -- know matter how rickety the impeachment inquiry is. as a bribe or outright intimidation to take up gun control and various issues, and

legislation. they have absolutely no interest in accommodating him previously. this is a sordid and tasteless sort of initiative, don't you think on the part of the radical dimms? >> the democrats have truly no department to which they will not sing in their craven pursuit of power. that's what this is all about. it's about power. you talked about these issues for so many years on your show. you talked about the betrayal of the american workers because of offshoring, and misguided trade deals. you talked about the betrayal of american families because of mississippi guide foreign policies. the president stood up in 2016 and said enough. i am putting a stop to the selling out, the betrayal, and the crucifying of the american middle class. they are going to say we are not going to let the american people

have the leadership and the government they want. this president is standing in the breach saying he's going to fight for the american worker. lou: he has done so strongly throughout. in the senate there is senate bill 386. the rights for legal immigrants legislation that would double the size of h-1b visas and give most of of those visas to china and india. and it's also without a question sponsored by mike lee and signed on to by a host of otherwise -- well, generally reasonable people previously. is the president going to veto the damn thing? >> i don't think that bill as currently written will be passing the senate anytime soon. the administration made clear that our view on h-1bs is you cannot displace or replace

american workers. the president has taken unprecedented action in the immigration space to do exactly that. according most of recently with the public charge regulation to keep newcomers from taking advantage of our welfare system. i want to drill down to the heart of what is happening in our country right now. you have people inside the executive branch, permanent career government officials who do not recognize democracy. i know because i deal with some of these people every week. i'm talking about the deep state, lou. everything we are trying to do to make working americans have a better future is constantly blocked and sabotaged by the deep state. we are breaking through and we are winning and we'll keep on winning. what you have with this current non-scandal, non-controversy, made up phoney story from this fake whistleblower with ukraine. you have somebody inside the

government along with their allies trying to overthrow a democratically elected president so they can get their policy that they want put in place. that's what's at stake for every american. do you think we should be governed by a democracy or not. lou: i'm happy with this constitutional republic and less than happy with the deep state. it's not only entrenched, but expanding and increasingly powerful. when we look at the complaint for the so-called whistleblower who happens to be a cia officer, think about the absurdity of what we are talking about. a cia officer on hear say is now a whistleblower. one wonders why he doesn't have a change of command he would want to follow and why he could not see the irony of spying on

the president of the united states on u.s. soil. which is a charge he is not entitled to. overseas surveillance. not to try and conduct illicit operations on the president of the united states. first of all, if you read the complaint, it's public now. there is no firsthand nothing that complaint. there is no firsthand anything in thatomplaint. nor could there ever be because the complaint is the fevered imagination after deep state radical. lou: michael atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community who wrote a four-page document of rationale for changing that complaint form, it's one of the most of absurd documents i have ever seen it's irrational and can only be explained by raising great questions of political corruption within the inspector

general's office itself in my opinion. but that's just my opinion. >> what i find so disappointing is the democratic party used to stand for liberal values. they used to question power. now you have a liberal bureaucracy and liberals in washington, d.c. that worship intelligence communities as being above reproach and worship deep state power. it's fundamentally anti-liberal. lou: i can't join you in bemoaning their move away from liberalism. i think liberalism deserves to die and perhaps even a painful death. >> now they are just socialists and marxists, lou. they are not liberals any more. lou: i don't know what else they are, but i can tell you this, they are working against the president of the united states and this country and that's got to be stopped.

stephen miller, we appreciate everything you are doing for the country. thank you so much. more on secretary pompeo's answer to the radical dimms on capitol hill. he's not pleased with their efforts to bully state officials. a photo of joe biden. wow. who knew. there is another photo and it shows his son and himself in -- well, the hamptons playing golf. having a good time. he does a lot of good-time photos. eric trump will be joining us right after the break for that.

lou: the sell-off on wall street. volume on the big board, 3.6 million shares. excitement in the market after a report manufacturing contracted at the fastest rate in the past year. crude oil down a percent. gold up over a%. silver rising 2%.

a 2014 pic -- picture unraveline biden's claims he never talked about his son's overseas business dealings. a picture showed the bidens golfing with devon archer. they were both on the board of burisma holdings, and partners in rosemont sineca. that attracted a billion dollar investment after hunter accompanied his daughter to beijing in 2015. pure are co-insurance dense. eric trump, good to have you here. >> can you imagine if i took 3 cents from the ukraine or 4

cents from china? it's unbelievable. lou: i have a feeling it would be a different reaction on the part of the leftist media. double standard is a nice way to say it. it's outright rank political corruption on the part of our national media. >> the worst part of this whole thing is, the guy doesn't speak the language. he's on the board of a ukrainian company and he doesn't speak the language. put me on a board on a company where i can't communicate with the other people of on the board. he's being paid $50,000 a month for not knowing the language or having relevant experience? it' absolutely insane. lou: it fails the i am plus built test it's unimaginable this firm would hire a man who had a drug problem, knew nothing

about energy, the ukraine or international finance for that matter. these issues. and the chinese had no problem either. 1.5 billion dollars. he will be in part the steward for $1.5 billion. that i would guess good faith in the vice president. >> one of the biggest investors in the world. these guys run the biggest investment firms in the united states, they go to beijing and they can't get 3 cents out of china. you have this young guy, flies on board air force two, goes to china, comes back and has a billion five in his pocket. this witch hunt that they are doing right now. they know they can't beat my father. the corruption is being seen for the 20th time.

you reported on it for the last several years. lou: from the time he was a candidate, for crying out loud, he had the fbi and who knows how much other agencies working against him. and how much foreign agencies. >> how many scandals do we need. whether it be the russian dossier or the insane leaks. whether it's bill clinton and loretta lynch meeting in a private airport. lou: loretta lynch? most of people don't even know who she is because she hasn't been considered for investigation. >> how about kavanaugh and trying to destroy his life and what about the other lives they have ruined in the process. my father is fighting like hell to turn around the country. we are the talk of the entire world and i know that because i travel the world and i hear from people. we are doing everything right.

he's doing everything right. we have the best markets, the best jobs. manufacturing is coming back. we are wing on every front. the democrats know it and they want to distract from that and what he's doing and his message and the patriotism he brought back to this country. biden is not going to win. the guy is a crook. our be is not going to win. she is somebody who slies about her native american ancestry. she is not going to win. here we go again. i feel like it's a merry-go-round. >> i wish it were as amusing as a merry-go-round. this effort to overthrow the president of this congressional -- this constitutional republic, it's stunning stuff on one hand and on the other it's become old stuff because it has been going on for three years against your father and against this country.

and there is a rationalization. i think it's a see yo psychotic rationalization in our body politic that because the left opposes your father who is an anti-establishment populist president whose appeal crosses boat parties, supports the working man and woman who aexpired to the middle class. supports the middle class where their american dream reside. instead of the corporatist class. he's fair game. and he's not, and neither is this country. >> he threatens their very existence. they know that. look at the movement. go to these rallies where you have 40,000, 50,000 people, they are holding american flags and cheering usa. they don't have that on the other side.

how many years has biden been a politician? over 50. he has been a politician substantially longer than i have been alive. yet biden will blame it problems of the country on my father. lou: the american people are watching all of this. and they are not half as dumb as the democrats, the radical dimms believe them to be or they wouldn't pull such a nonsensical i am thi inquiry against your father. it's exploding right now in the faces -- >> the fundraising numbers show that. we raised $15 million -- it's a great way to show support. people are going online and donating $10, $1. you raise $15 million from

people who have never donated to a political party before. we are going to beat them again. lou: and still, all of us are still thrilled to win. eric trump. thanks. it's great to see you. come back soon. lou: the 2020 candidate that facebook's executive mark zuckerberg sees as an existential threat. and it's a construction of language the likes of which you will wish you had never heard. but it's coming up next. stay with us. we'll be right back.

lou: facebook's founder, ceo, smashing zuckerberg captured in

leaked audio blasting presidential candidate elizabeth warren and her plans to break up big tech. >> elizabeth warren thinks the right answer is to break up the company. i would bet it would have a legal challenge and i will bet we'll win the legal challenge. but that still sucks for us. to have a major salute against our own government. but at the end of the day if somebody is going to threaten something that existential you go to the mat and you fight. lou: joining us to take up that and much more. fox news contributor, and leading strader just, ed rollins. this president was campaigning against big tech before elizabeth warren left the

reservation. that's one of his policies. >> it should be. at the end of the day you would think zuckerberg was going endorse trump. the reality is you need regulatory control. you have all this information of people out there. lou: you are agreeing elizabeth warren. >> no, i'm agreeing with donald trump. you need to look at it hard and fast. lou: hard, fast and peculiar at the very best. this impeachment inquiry as the democrats like to call it. this thing is bizarre. there is first no crime as we documented here last night. there is this complaint is riddled with mission takes and errors and concerted efforts it appears with a law firm and a couple congressional committees. then the coverups. remember the discussion, the cover-up just happens to be the

routine top secret code secure files that are presidential conversations are kept in. this is a laughable, just disaster for the radical dimms. this thing they concocted. >> the cia works for the president. lou: don't tell me, tell them. >> their purpose is to gather information from other countries for the president. lou: they have to go abroad. not here. >> they are not the fbi. the idea that -- lou: the fbi wanted to wear wires in the white house. what a bunch. you can't make these people up. >> i have been around a long time from the days of j. edgar hoover. he was a liner league player compared to these guys. i think the democrats are going to get bloodied and bruised.

the president has to be prepared to fight and he will fight. lou: the real issue is why in the hell does he have to fight. this is the deep state. this is the radical dimms. the left in this country. their compatriots and the leftist national media. if there were an honest media in this country instead this closed feedback loop, amongst the dems, the left, and the leftist media. we wouldn't have this. >> the great indictment against trump is he said he's doing what he said he would do. he's unconventional and he's an effective president and they are unhappy about that. lou: the radical dimms are pushing along with the establishment at the white house, wants to go talk. maybe we can talk business on trade, we can talk business on

tariffs. we can talk business on gun control. we can talk business in you name it. >> the only business the country is going to talk about the next couple months is the efforts to impeach him and they will be unsuccessful. lou: how does it end? >> i think they have got the votes to impeach him on some obscure thing. but i think the senate will be outraged by it and i think it country is outraged by it. go out and start the campaign and tell the country what's going on in washington, d.c. that's where he needs to be. that's what he's very good at. lou: we take up the dramatic escalation of violence in hong kong. and what in the world is going on in beijing. to find out. dr. michael pillsbury joins us.

lou: china today unveiled new military weapons including an intercouldn't mental miss soil flaunted as the most of powerful missile on this planet at the 70th anniversary of the communist party's parade in beijing. we are told it can carry 10 nuclear warheads. theoretically it has the ability to hit the united states in a

half-hour. demonstrators in hong kong are taking to the city center, marching through main streets clashing with police. the clashes escalated and an 18-year-old activist was shot squarely in the chest with a live round by one of the officers. the protester is said to be in critical condition tonight. joining us now, dr. michael pillsbury, the director of the center for have they at the hudson institute. he just returned from shopping congress and beijing. this is troubling development how violent and persistent these demonstrations have become. >> i think it's all part of the rise in chinese nationalism combined with chinese power. somebody obviously authorized this police officer to use

deadly force. and the showing of these new weapons systems, they also showed off two robot subject marines and they have a stealth drone that looks a lot like our stealth drone. they wouldn't spoiled to have this equipment for another 10 years according to some experts. lou: i can't imagine them leaving it in a file somewhere as they per riewsd all our technologi'. >> their weapons look a lot like our weapons. lou: and their aircraft. it's astonishing. i want to turn to the discussion that we have seen the administration pull back. meter navarro -- peter navarro saying basically we were just kidding about keeping china from our markets, the suggestion, there would be a delisting of

chinese companies, no, they can have access to everything. your reaction to that. >> every president i worked for wants to maintain secrecy on his policy options until he announces them. what peter navarro is saying he didn't want to make any comment. the white house statement was at this time at the very end of the comment how we are not thinking about escalation. and then it was at this time. so the question arising for those of us outside the white house. when would be the right time? my suggestion is this delegation coming october 10 or 11. the talks are at an impasse. then it's time for escalation. there are some pretty good ideas i and others have in find, including you, lou. lou: thanks for including me. i am very concerned right now that we are looking at a country

as it talks about a people that won't be stopped, a nation that won't be stopped. that is a bellicosity it seems to me as an observer something new for the chinese because that's an adamant statement of imperial nationalism if i ever heard one. >> i think you are right to single out that phrase in president xi jinping's speech yesterday. i was struck by it, too. it's more than feisty. it's almost arrogant. there is a new tone of confidence and arrogance in references to america as yesterday's power. yesterday's hegemon. it's kind of insulting to us, actually. lou: the point is to make sure it many incorrect. when you have got wall street flying over on command from xi, and the communist party to

attend at the feet of the great xi, you know, it gets to be troubling. when you have got companies continuing to go ahead with forced transfer of rare and extraordinarily valuable interest electric teurl fuel property. when we continue to permit the tht of billions of dollars technology. i'm scratching my head if that's such an overwrought claim on the part of the president xi about china vis-a-vis the united states. >> have faith in america. lou: i have faith in america. >> what the wall street people are worried about is the escalation options. they know one of the options. and that's no more waivers for chinese companies that have accounting problems. they got away with claiming the results of accounting are

secret. the sec has gone along with that with a waiver. that could be changed in one second. lou: what about -- i'm aware of outside advisors and inside advisors who suggested to the president that there be a cutoff to our capital markets for the chinese. in fact whether -- you know if that be the case and ending the capital flows to china. that would amount to half their economy. i have it on good counsel. your thoughts? >> that's only one range of options affecting the capital markets other is private equity. there are enormous amounts of private equity in china from u.s. investment banks that has not been examined before. the third area is the entity this that huawei and general

nuclear are already on. at the discretion of the president he can add more important chinese companies, the ones they caught national champons. the combination of these options and there is plenty more, would inflict a lot of pain on china. october 12, i think. lou: michael pillsbury, good to talk with you. up next. los angeles hoping mormony will solve a crisis. it's homeless crisis, a crisis of their hone making. -- their own making. hmm. exactly. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. nice. but, uh... what's up with your... partner? not again. limu that's your reflection. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

lou: there is nothing sanctuary in the sanctuary state for the homeless. there is a homeless crisis in los angeles that hit the breaking point. city officials are trying to pressure governor newsom to declare a state of emergency in their state and city. ty officials hoping to declare that state of emergency and divert more fund to combat homelessness. since last year the homeless population in los angeles county has risen 12%. the total population nearly 60,000 people. joining us tonight, victor davis hanson. he is the author and best selling author and national review contributor.

it's stunning stuff and it's good to see you, my friend. the absurdity of los angeles having to declare a crisis because its policies created so much homelessness. >> i think california's reaching the logical limitation of his radical progressive thought. we are seeing a culture where people are infected with e. coli and hepatitis c and even typhus. the idea is predicated that no one has the moral courage to say it's wrong and we'll address it. the hollywood elite, the people who live down in malibu or san francisco, the gavin newsoms, the feinsteins, pacific heights, presidio heights. they are never subjected to the

ramifications of their own ideology. it doesn't fall on them because they have the money and influence, the gated community. the private security patrol. that's symptomatic of california. lou: a few other places, too. let's turn to the radical dems and his absurd quest to carry out an impeachment inquiry against this president with a clause that has no crime within point of fact a complaint authored by a cia officer with third-person -- third-hand information. and an allegation of a cover-up that happens to be the routine practice of secreting conversations between the president of the united states and foreign leaders.

>> i think nancy pelosi was unpressure her base and people in congress. they warned her that the election is going to come up in 13 months and donald trump is going to win. some of them said if we don't impeach him we have 8 years of him. before she got whistleblower's complaint in she went ahead with the so-called inquiry. these land mines are starting to blow up in her face. she don't know who the whistleblower is? has the bissell blower contacted adam schiff's staff in did they have a legal team draw up his? you can't impeach a president on anonymous sources. they are trying to get a kavanaugh circus. i think they feel if they get an inquiry, nobody can control it. they will bring in everybody. they don't understand this has happened for three years and people are getting tired of it.

meanwhile we have all of these things that pelosi can't control. the uber investigation, the horowitz. the durham investigation. we have the debates. we have 9 crazy debates til to go. there will and lot of atmospherics you can't anticipate. she can't control the news cycle. she let the genie out of the bottle and nobody knows what will happen. but it won't be good for them in the long run. they have taken out their premiere candidate, joe biden. lou: stay with us. we'll be right back with more.

lou: the desperate cad rall dess coup attempt against the president over a highly questionable whistleblower claim, senior policy advisor stephen miller with a warning at apartments at stake. >> what you have with this current non-scandal, non-controversy made-up phoney story. what you have is somebody inside the government along with their allies trying to overthrow a democratically elected president so they can get their policies that they want put in place. that's what's at stake for every american. lou: tomorrow night the ron nc's

ronna mcdaniel joins us. we hope you will as well. good night from new york. lauren: it is 5:00 a a.m. here are your top stories at this hour. overnight secretary of state mike pompeo arriving in rome where he'll address democrats after being named a fact witness in their push to impeach the be president. cheryl: president trump sticking to top campaigning issues. we have the details of his long awaited medicare plan that he is expected to unveil this week. lauren: the president and rnc blowing past top democrats with a record fund raising fall, plus what the dems' numbers could mean for 2020. cheryl: if your think your kid spends too much time playing video games. you may want to think begin, the $152 m
