those who cite sides his decision and called for an endless continuation of u.s. involvement in what the president termed long bloodstained region. president trump: turkey, syria, and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries. we have done them a great service and we have done a great job for all of them. now we are getting out. let someone else fight over this long bloodstained sands. there are were some political pundits who responded to you are kips offensive in syria by calling for yet another american military intervention. i don't think so. they are the ones that got us into the middle east mess. but never had the vision or the courage to get us out. they just talk. lou: for more on today's

historic achievement, we turn to chief white house correspondent john roberts. reporter: president trump declared victory for his foreign policy today, announcing turkey agreed to make the five-day ceasefire permanent. president trump: i greet you in the white house top announce a breakthrough for syria and the middle east. reporter: he also lifted sanctions he impose on turkey but added a permanent solution would not have been possible without the fighting that erupted after the invasion. president trump: the pain and suffering of the three-day fight was responsible for our agreement between turkey and the kurds. reporter: the 25-mile safe zone established in the i agreement.

senator graham praised the ceasefire but worries about what comes next. >> you cannot rely on syria, russia or tush ski to protect the united states against isis. reporter: the president appeared to get by-in from the kurds. the kurds' general praised the president. lou: general mazloum thanking the president. he tweeted quote president trump promised to maintain a relationship and various

spheres. like all the president's foreign policy successes, it was in spite of those who try to destroy his presidency by hook or by crook. john durham says the investigation into the fisa abuses have been expanded because of new evidence durham uncovered while in rome with attorney general william barr. catherine herridge reports that durham is quote very interested now to question former cia director john brennan, the former director national intelligence james clapper as well. both virulent anti-trump critics to say the least. fox learning that the italian prime minister testified that he permitted barr to meet with

intelligence officials on the russia investigation. he also said the president never once asked him to arrange the meetings that resulted between barr and italian intelligence. as an aside, i suppose in the future we'll have to say there was no quid pro quo in every international agreement we report or explain in trade agreements there was a satisfying level of quid pro quo, that is balanced and reciprocal trade. the quid pro quo nonsense will, us for at least another few weeks. there was a newfound confidence among house republicans. last week be only a third stood with president trump to withdraw our troops from syria. a decision that turns out to be a stroke of genius. and the president again as he has for three straight years

proved his detractors wrong before among those detractors, the 2/3 of the house republicans who voiced their opposition to his troop withdrawal. suddenly the republicans in the house appear to be learning. at least in the house. this week there was a dawning when all 85 house republicans stood with the congressman and congress manage andy biggs' resolution to censure house intel chairman adam schiff who is leading the charade they call an impeachment inquiry. today they pulled off a political stunt. they are not writing strong letters or just yelling or talking it was an honest to goodness stunting a you see them entering, some would say storming by republican standard the illegal efforts of the

radical dimms who are holding secret hearings in their attempts to unseat the president. the action of these republicans leading adam schiff to suspend today's hearing. the republicans, god bless them for actually doing something. i am so impressed. schiff left the hearing with witness laura cooper. after entering the room the republicans ordered pizzas, and bags much chick-fil-a. jim jordan slammed schiff for his secrecy and said the american people deserve to know who the so-called whistleblower is. >> 435 members of the house representing over 300 mill americans. the only one of those 435 who know the individual who started this whole thing is adam schiff. why don't the rest of us know. more importantly, why don't the

american people know? lou: our first guest, one of the republicans who stormed the scif today demanding transparency and due process into the unauthorized impeachment inquiry so-called has become a pathetic exercise in destroying american values such as due process and innocent until proven guilty. joining us, andy biggs. co-chair of the border security caucasus. congressman, i'm so proud of you and your colleagues. first 185 of you stand for this president. then dozens of you today storming the schiff scif. i loved it. what has gone the ahold of you guys? it's wonderful to see. >> it may have taken us a while

to get rolling. but now the stone is rolling and we need to keep rolling down the hill with greater velocity. matt gaetz worked real hard to put this together. we were going to do this last week, but we had elijah cummings untimely death so we suspended this. steve scalise was there with us, the whip. i think this will keep building momentum because the other side is simply not willing to allow an open and fair and transparent justice-filled proceedings. lou: they are trying overthrow the president. >> they are running a coup. lou: until this moment you guys acted like this was a political contest instead of a contest for law, order and our constitution in support of this president to see it so broad and complete within the republican party. at least in the house is to your

credit. congratulations. >> i told you before, the democrats view his as war. they know it's about power and control. republicans were so docile sometimes because' of my colleagues. many republicans believe this is about process. it isn't about process. this is about power and control, and what you have going on here is a coup to overthrow an elected properly elected president of the united states, and it defies the rule of law. lou: it' been going on for over three years and enough is enough. i am glad you guys figured that out. in the u.s. senate, mitch mcconnell, majority leader says to his fellow senators in the conference. i understand why some of you don't want to support this president. oh, yeah? you do understand that, said i.

this egregiously disloyal on his part. egregiously lacking in just plain guts. and then some to say we'll oak us on process because this isn't fair, what is going on over there? >> i can't explain that mindset because i don't understand that mindset. i viewed this from day one that the other side is out to basically get this president. they attacked him, they attacked his family, they attacked his associates. lou: the house and the senate, majority leader mcconnell and your former friend, paul ryan, the speaker of the house. you guys let the democrats steal the election of 2018, and 40 seats with it. it's incredible that -- >> we'll take it back.

lou: where is the shame of it? where is the fire in your belly? i can't comprehend this as you called it acidity. >> what i'm seeing rekindling of the fire. i talked to so many people the last few weeks in our conference, including our leadership who have a renewed burning and they are so upset. part of it is the base is upset. but i think my colleagues and i reached a point where there is no return. you cannot allow this to continue. you can't allow this to continue. lou: thanks to your leadership. i am one of those guys who will never be satisfied. now that you have the house rolling i want you to shake mcconnell by the name of his neck and -- by the nape of his

neck and awaken him. >> we have to make sure we don't backslide. we have to keep forcing the issue at every turn. i told the president we have his back. and my colleagues in the house are all object board. we are moving in a unified direction. that's great and we need to move with purpose. we have to continue. you called it a stunt. i don't call these stunts. i call it mobilization. lou: you know what? when i say stunt, by the way, i'm not in any way suggesting a pejorative connotation. i'm bragging like hell on you guys. don't slight. don't call it a mobilization. call it what it is. you are fighting for freedom. and at least the conference is standing up for the president. by the way, if across the way

you see mitch mcconnell, tell him to tell the democrats to go to hell. there will be no discussion further. it's illegitimate. unconstitutional, wrong and un-american what adam schiff, nancy pelosi and the rest of those damn radical dimms are trying to pull off and it's an affront to the american people that they are trying to unseat their president. we are proud of you and all of your colleagues standing with you and this president. >> this president is great and we are going to keep fighting. that's a promise. that is a promise. lou: god bless you. congressman andy biggs. up next, americans' rising concern about illegal immigrants failing to assimilate. we take it up with tim cuccinelli.

also we'll have more on the president's foreign policy success in syria. our panel, former state department senior advisor, morgan wright, and up next, joe biden. he once said he would choose truth or facts or facts or truth. i can't remember. he has chosen' fantasy over truth for the economy. hmm. exactly.

grilling. maybe they wanted a few campaign donations. i'm just guessing. joe biden in pennsylvania today and he criticized the president. joe biden said president trump is failing the middle class. >> right now under the republican and the trump plan, we only reward wealth. donald trump inherited a strong economy from barack and me. things began to move. just like everything else he inherited, he's in the midst of squandering. lou: let's review the reality. president trump, the economy is still booming, middle class incomes and all sectors of incomes are surging, and half million new manufacturing jobs created.

unemployment at an all-time low for all races. african-americans, hispanics, asian, women. all time lows in unemployment. as house republicans showed some spine the rino resistance among senate republicans didn't falter. the daily be caller' reported only 7 would rule out the impeachment of president trump. thom tillis, rob portman, and jerry moran rejecting impeachment straight up. the other republicans. you know how they are. they have something of a distaste by inquiry from the dimms. but they didn't resume it out.

instead of standing for this president with principle. the rino reluctance to back the president comes as senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is telling senate republicans to defend the president on the unfair process being used by the radical dimms in the house. mcconnell foregettinged the dimms' sole purpose is to overthrow this president. but at least senator lindsey graham is fighting back. he says he will introduce a resolution to condemn the house inquiry. the president fed up with rinos and never thumber d and never t.

our president nailing it. joining us, former reagan white house political director a haven't himself, ed rollins. ed, human scum those rinos and never trumpers. >> rod portman was the director omp. and he knows it was perfectly legal what the president did. my sense is, you know, every member should be on this list. lou: i think what you are saying is i'm surprised rob portman's name is on it because he's a rino of the highest order. he finds a vague and am biggous path no matter how indelible the choices are. >> the fact that the money was

withheld for a period of time web understanded that after being the omb director. joe biden lived in scranton hill when he was 10 years old. he went back home in the 2016 campaign. >> let's put this in some context. there is biden on the campaign trail telling americans not to believe their lying eyes, their lying bank balance, pay checks or unemployment rates for all americans. the president promised prosperity for tall and he delivered it straight away. the economy is still rolling and the markets are still strong. >> nobody has made more money in the last few years than joe biden and his kid. lou: it was an international effort, i understand. >> it was refreshing to hear him say obama tonight.

usually like he did in the debate it was me me me and iii. lou: what i'm praying for, he referred to barack and me. i'm waiting for barack to refer to joe. we haven't heard that. the president, more historic achievements today. this president is an historic aer, historic president. and i truly believe this. the part that's galls the rife knows and the radical dimms the most of is this president has installed his place in american history. if they were to overthrow him, he would still be a president of historic achievement and successes in three years and will go down in history for that. >> that will all happen.

they are not going to throw him out of office. and the more the public gets to see the charade the more inclined they will be to support this. lou: i can't imagine a democrat in the country thinking about running in 2020. these fools on capitol hill. these radical dimms. i think they destroyed the party for this election at least. >> i agree. lou: with that one accustomed to agreement. i'm out of here, ed. up next, the effect immigration is having on the country's national identity. we'll take that up with u.s. citizenship and immigration services director ken cuccinelli. many are pushing for the head of the department of homeland security. the president securing that

lou: a bipartisan group of five senators led by lindsey graham, they want to talk with the commanding general of the kurdish led syrian forces, general mazloum is the central figure. they are urging the state department tonight, indeed the secretary of state to expedite a visa for mazloum so he can testify before congress about conditions on the ground in syria. it's bizarre that lindsey graham would be leading that effort.

to try to make sense out of it, we are joined by retired army colonel, dan davis. morgan wright, great to have you with us. and let me start with you, dan, if i may. this is wrather unseemly, i think to be as kind to see some senators telling the president's secretary of state what he should do with a visa for the head of the syrian defense forces after this president has just done something historic like create that ceasefire. your thoughts? >> this i think is indicative of many in washington. foreign policy so-called political elite that want to keep us in every war that ever happened forever. the biggest one is they have a bad misunderstanding of what troops on the ground are accomplishing and it's not much.

the president is right to get them out of there. but the secretary of defense mattis pushed back nell finally got rid of them. lou: i think the pentagon may have figured out the president is willing to watch generals shed stars nell gets things where he wants them. the pentagon doesn't seem to understand when the commander-in-chief speaks, they damn well better listen. >> today is the 36th anniversary of the bombing of the marine barracks perpetrated by hezbollah and iran's influences. we have to start looking at the bigger picture. nobody has ever achieved peace in the middle east. for people to keep dying in

pursuit of a goal that's unachievable. it's tough to find people who will say we were against the war before we were for it. now we want to be in a war that we were against in the first place. lou: there was great clarity in lebanon 36 years ago, and the president of the united states even though was being urged by the military industrial complex and some of the most of hawkish senators ever to launch a full military assault as a result of that. and he chose not to. colonel, this is, i think, a critically important time, and morgan's point about the choice not to go to war is an important one. i thought you were interest mating the same thing. this an historic president for many reasons.

he noise an historic president for choosing not to listen to the neocons and the chicken hawks, whatever you want to call them who insist at the industrial military come mix who want us to spend trillions of dollars and the precious blood of our men and women in uniform in the middle east. >> this is the reason president trump won. he was the on one saying we need to get out of these wars. there is nothing to gain for us. this is for baghdad security and kabul security. it's not for our security. they are tired of seeing our sons and daughters die for that. and for no gain to our country. it's -- i hope he follows through and does all of it. >> there is a lot of reasons to pull back from doing this. we have a military that has spent a lot of precious blood.

but we are overextended. we are running out of armaments. a lot of the stuff needs to be replaced and repaired. we need to pull back, regroup and reconstitute this force to become very lethal. lou: thank you. beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. all working with a new generation of technologies

half of americans polled believe that the immigrants are retaining their foreign cultures. 51% say america should have a national culture and national identity. it's also worth noting that german chancellor angela merkel who said in the past her country need to work harder to bring in more efforts to create a multi-cultural society in germany. she now admits her experiment which which millions of immigrants were brought in by her open border policies has failed. joining us is immigration services acting director, ken

cuccinelli. you are getting a lot done. the border is improving. and yet we are looking at sanctuary cities, king county, deported, accused of murder. what in the world. what can we do. gruesome murder. one of these characters had been grabbed for auto theft before. and i.c.e. sought to deport hip. the local law enforcement in seattle, king county, wouldn't share information or turn him over. they arrested him two more times after that and they still wouldn't turn hip over to i.c.e. he end up with a baseball bat in his hands and bludgeoned a high schooler to death along with his friend, another ms-13 gang member used a machete to chop

him up. they are not unique. this is what happens when you harbor criminals. shockingly enough, they commit more crimes. lou: robins who is in charge of detentions. his testimony where they were getting 100 of these criminal illegal immigrants, they are now being released on to the streets in los angeles alone. that is frightening. >> right. lou: what can be done? >> it is frightening. and like i said, it has consequences. this is part of the exercise of the tenth amendment. these are local and state governments that can do their own thing. but this is only the second time in american history i can think of when law enforcement at every

level didn't completely set politics aside. i worked in law enforcement for a number of years. i was an attorney general. just setting politics aside to keep our community safe, whether it's local, state or our whole country. the consequences are death and crimes that don't have to happen. and the federal government's tools here other than actually going ahead and i.c.e. exercising their powers to remove people are very limited. i would point out to you that it is harder for i.c.e. to do its job. that's why the states and local politicos do this when they don't have cooperation or at a backup from the local authorities. it puts officers at risk. people obeying the laws, enforcing the laws congress put

aggressive. there is still more to do. but we have been very aggressive and successful. i'll work with whoever the president choose. with respect to the legal boundaries the president has to operate in. federal employee law is not my thing. i rely on others for that. so i'm not in a position to say. i am going to accept the judgment of the white house. and i will work with whoever the president chooses to follow on behind kevin mcaleenen. we have a lot more to do and we have an opportunity to do it with this president's willingness and ability to lead. i as a manager and leader in that environment relish the opportunity he gives us to do that. lou: the country relishes his

lou: the vice premier called them a pause. >> the vice premier stood there and president trump said the chinese are going to buy $40 to $50 billion of u.s. agriculture. then the official news agent significant said we didn't agree to do that. lou: they are apparently buying soybeans from brazil. >> they bought some from the u.s. as well. if the chinese felt there wasn't a deal, they could tell it to president trump. it's not like this is the first time they have done this. deal after deal after deal. lou: the president making it clear he's optimistic about it.

he thinks things are going well. there is caution from some quarters of the administration. the ubiquitous larry kudlow and steve mnuchin. where does that lead us. >> that lead touts middle of moved when president trump meets xi jinping in chile at the -- at the apec. at that time if they don't have a deal, discussions would have been right. they will have a meeting with lighthizer and others in beijing. it could happen but i don't think it actually will, though. lou: we are watching steve schwarzman and others on wall street. they are operating as

unregistered agents of china. they are pressuring the white house and the president as best they can. they have kudlow and mnuchin operating as internal catalysts for their views and values. as well as of course myron brilliant over at the chamber of commerce. this is a corporatist sellout by any name for china against the interests of the united states. >> on the other side we have lou dobbs and most of of the american people of both political parties. because everyone knows china is a bad actor, they always renege on their deals and we can't trust them. but i am worried about wall street, chambers of congress, the koch organization and all the rest ganging up on the president. lou: we should remember that
