i was raised in a way that is, heart full of love and always prayed for the president. i still pray for the president. i pray for the president all the time. so don't mess with me when it comes to words like that. reporter: the president referencing that moment on twitter, tweeting this, nancy pelosi just had a nervous fit. she hates that we will soon have 182 great new judges and so much more. stock market and employment records. she says, sheshe quote prays for the president. i don't believe her, not eneven close. help the homeless in your distribute, nancy. i'm i'm? funding government and passing usmca is something senate majority leader mitch mcconnell brought up on the senate floor today saying the house continues to focus on impeachment the rest of the time and ignores of rest of their business. >> for weeks republicans have been asking democrats to take off their impeachment blinders and let congress legislate for

with whistleblowers before they filed their complaint. what conversation his staff had with the whistleblower before they filed the complaint. absolutely i hope senate calls these witnesses. clearly the bidens had influence and involvement in ukraine, ukraine policy because the former vice president in his own words, admitted to a quid pro quo with holding aid. absolutely i think the senate should take full advantage of their subpoena authority power. liz: "the washington post" averaged a dozen polls. this story got buried. they averaged a dozen polls done during the hearings. the majority of voters in eight battleground states oppose impeachment. his approval rating is sticking at 43%. here is the issue. this isn't moving the needle with voters? >> no. i think they thought by bringing in a bunch of law professors to talk about impeachment and constitution they would convince the american people for the last year the impeachment would be a worth wild thing to go down and the american people are not

having it. i wouldn't sit back and listen to a bunch of harvard or stanford law professors thinking that would change my mind. liz: let's get to this. by the way "the washington post" average of dozen polls, 51% of voters oppose impeachment. here is the thing. nancy pelosi again admitting, getting back to this, admits impeachment starts with the russia probe, u.s. involvement started much of this. al green, a democrat said there is no limit the numbers of times the house can vote to impeach. watch this. >> there is no limit on the number of times the senate can vote to convict or not a president. no limit to the number of times a house can vote to impeach or not a president. liz: but republican tom reed told me last night, democrats, silent, silent number of them oppose impeachment watch this. >> not about republicans breaking in support against impeachment. or for impeachment. i'm hearing about democrats voting against going forward against impeachment. i don't have any names. i'll tell you, that list is

growing by the hour here. liz: that's news. >> as this unfolds in real time. liz: are you hearing that too? >> i'm not hearing it directly from democrats but i can tell you this, i'm sure they're polling in moderate districts showing them there is not support amongst independents for this impeachment process. if you're one of 31 democrats in a seat trump won in 2016 i think you will think real hard voting for impeachment that american people don't support on the floor of the house. >> i will dig into this. we'll dig into later how california congressman devin nunes is threatening legal action against adam schiff putting nunes phone logs into the house intelligence impeachment report. adam schiff saying that devin nunes, shows devin nunes is complicit. this are only phone logs. they don't have the contents of the phone call. adam schiff can't say devin nunes is complicit of anything. he doesn't have information. i want to get to msnbc acknowledging what we've been reporting for some time now, that the democrats have been

deputy secretary. great to see you, sir. >> good to be with you, again. liz: sir, the president of mexico said quote, the attorney general understands non-intervention in mexico affairs. so is the trump administration going to designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations? >> well, obviously we put a lot of asset aimed at gathering intelligence and doing law enforcement directed at the els and their networks into this country but, a decision is not been finalized. you've heard the president make it very clear, he is thinking about the possibility of that designation, but that decision has not been made yet. liz: what, what would stop that decision from being made? it would disrupt the finances of these drug narcoterrorists and hit them with asset freezes, travel bans? there is so much violence coming from them, there is so much problems from them inside of this country, it seems to many people it's a good idea to do it. what would stop it?

>> so all of the things you just identified can be done on separate from the designation as well, just so you know. we have kingpin statutes, for instance, that give us a lot of the legal authorities, the sorts of visa interdiction and seizing of financial assets of a criminal organization. we have the powers to do already. what we really need to do is be gathering more of this intelligence on a partnered basis with mexico. and there are, trusted partners in mexico that we work with on things like immigration, that we need to expand our efforts to encompass, going after these cartels. that is something that, you know, i'm sure the attorney general, i was not privy to any of that i'm sure those are sorts of things he may have raised as asks from the united states. in addition to asking mexico to do more with the human smuggling and illegal immigration coming into this country. liz: you're right on the front lines. >> yes.

liz: you're working on this. we're clocking and tracking 261,000 homicides in mexico since 2009. what, why would the mexican government, government of mexico oppose the designation of drug cartels of terrorists? why would they be against it? >> well, for one thing they believe that they are making efforts on, not just in their security forces but in some of their domestic policies to address the underlying problems they face with the cartels. they would be embarrassed frankly by the designation. that is a big deal to a country that has proud of a history as mexico has. those are all factors that drive their president to his decisions. of course, we work with our president as he makes his decisions. we'll implement those as appropriate. liz: okay, the border wall, i want to turn to that. we're hearing more than 100 miles of new border wall is expected to be built by the end of the year. seems like, is that a realistic

goal? we're hearing 80 miles of replacement and border wall built? >> we're, some of the most expansive construction we've undertaken is going on in the rio grande valley right now. it is not just building a wall, it is building an entire levee. that hasn't been existed before. there hasn't been anything there before. all brand new. not just wall but as i said a full-blown levee there. that is in addition, part of 88 or so miles built so far, under the president's leadership and of course, you know has driven forward to win court cases to get dod money shaken loose and cpb border protection, customs border protection and commissioner mark morgan has been aggressive moving this forward along with the corps of engineers. that is going to continue. we'll be close at the end of this year. our real goal at the end of 2020, to be well past the 400 on our way to 500.

around the country could have said the same thing was ms-13. that is still a very significant criminal threat. it is one of the points of intersection we have a problem with with sanctuary cities who are harboring so many of these violent, vicious criminals, literally harboring from i.c.e. and the opportunity to deport them, get them out of these communities and country, our country. so that is major push for us. the, where immigration, illegal immigration, and in particular affects commune safety is priority for the president. keeping people safe has always been and remains a major priority for him, whether it is from direct violence or the effects of the opioid epidemic, so much coming across our southern border, those are the president's priorities in the space to keep americans safe. liz: ken cuccinelli. thank you so much for joining us. >> good to be with you. liz: come back soon. next up, 2020 joe biden now thinks he can win the

the government. if the western world led by the u.s. wants to see a regime change in iran, that is going to take covert activity and a lot of cooperation. i do not see us going with a ground war in iran. four types the size of iraq. we're 18 years at war. we do not need another one of these but iran is a superpower in the middle east. we've got to deal with it, either economically or politically but it has got to be dealt with. liz: colonel, secretary of state mike pompeo and the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu held talks in lisbon. i want your take what is iran planning to do? as lucas tomlinson reported, u.s. navy warship in the northern air bean sea seized a significant deliver theory of iranian guided missile parts heading out of iran to houthis in yemen. also iraq, we're finding out, iran is reportedly trying to hide short-range ballistic missiles inside iraq. they have a range of about 600 miles. they could strike jerusalem. what is iran now planning to do,

do you think? >> iran is trying to put pressure on countries like israel and the u.s. about their sanctions. but there is nothing new about iranian support in yemen and the fact that they have most influential country along with russia in iraq. they're causing problems as iran is capable of doing. the issue has been, what nato, what the u.s., want to do about it. iran is taking u.s. ships and small boats. they have taken british frigate. there are a, they're a big problem for a lot of us. the problem is, more so is this israel gets involved in this, now you've got even more trouble. so iran has got, we've got their foot on their neck. the issue is how much more pressure can iran take if you want to keep more pressure you can help with the internal struggle but that is a serious intel operation.

liz: the pentegon, sending up to 7,000 more forces to the middle east. clearly there is concern about iran. what can iran do with those missiles? who would it fire at, who would fire those missiles at? >> iran's fired missiles attainingers over the last two years, seven different times. they have blown up ships. they can cause a lot of damage. the problem is military force in the middle of this considering we're still at war of 18 years, global war on terror, does not seem to me to be a viable option. we have got serious economic pressure on them. there is a lot of other countries can get involved and getting iran's attention but military i think, we are not, it is not a good idea to consider a ground war and just an air campaign alone won't stop them. liz: also takes a lot of what the reporting is too. the media, we've seen headlines that things like iranian, iranian people support the iran

government. you see that out of places like "the hill" magazine and "the new york times." clearly many iranians dying, 1000, news coming in, 1000 people killed in the recent unrest. what is that about iran slaughtering its own people in a massive scale? >> same thing about north korea. same thing about russia. they are brutal regimes. they're doing awful stuff to their own people. there is a lot of job issues in iran. that is part of what the economic pressure of the u.s. has done. if you want to expand this, free world, u.s. europe want to expand that, you can do that clandestinely the problem, you have to take the military option has to be off the table. we have got pressure on iran. iran will continue to exactly what they have been doing. they have not been stopped. i just don't think the military options are considered in 18 years of war is viable. liz: colonel. thank you so much for joining us. thank you for your service to

what is happening -- >> you're a sitting member of congress. >> whatever happens in this town is wrong. i will look at whatever legal remedies i have. i have some civil rights. liz: joining me former federal prosecutor katy. yakowsky. what legal remedies does devin nunes have? >> it is a little complicated. congress has many reasons to issue subpoenas when they're doing investigations but there is not unlimited carte blanche authority it has. devin nunes has potential remedies against the phone carriers, that they could have challenged the subpoenas earns there was not enough basis to comply with them, saying that was improper disclosure of his information if they did in fact disclose his personal phone records verse sis other people he was on calls with. liz: fourth amendment. nowhere did the democrats give

nunes a chance to defend himself in the house intelligence impeachment report. adam schiff is trying to claim that nunes is complicit in the ukraine issue. watch this. >> it is i think deeply concerning at a time when the president of the night was using the power of his office to dig up dirt on a political rival, that there may be evidence that there were members of congress complicit in that activity. now, there is a lot more to learn about that, i don't want to state that that is an unequivocal fact but the allegations are deeply concerning. liz: he did state it as kind -- unequivocal fact. this is a gross overreach by adam schiff, to say the word complicit here. because the phone logs are just logs. the, schiff and democrats do not have the content of what was said on those phone calls? >> absolutely. they just have metadata shows there was contact between two

phone numbers. doesn't tell us anything about the content t doesn't have any justification for why it could be related to something in the ukraine investigation. obviously the irony is not lost on most people that adam schiff is engaging in the same type of behavior he is allegedly investigating. liz: okay. here are the other reports. we know that the democrats issued a subpoena to at&t to get phone call logs from rudy giuliani, jay sekulow, john solomon a hill reporter, even omb officials, at&t, did release a statement saying required by law to provide this information. i want to move on to this. there is more credibility problems for adam schiff. the house intelligence report, basically says, it claims, that schiff first heard about the whistleblower on september 9th, when the complaint became public at that time but "the new york times" already reported that adam schiff knew about the whistleblower before the whistleblower's complaint was filed on august 12th. how can the house intelligence

report claim that? >> well i think that adam schiff has made it clear that his role in this has been partisan from the very beginning, from prior to the time of the mueller report where he believed that that was going to be the end of the trump presidency. so the extent he has rational defending when he learned about the identity whistle-blower. that has no credibility at this point. there are questions how much credibility adam schiff retains at this juncture. liz: at a recent hearing he said he didn't know the identity after the whistleblower. he was quoted at a rally, that the democrats will send the charlatan trump to the golden thrown where he came from. katy, come back to us another time. good to see you, katy. >> thanks, liz. liz: quick update my interview earlywer ken cuccinelli homeland security acting deputy. to be clear, home land security says 90, 90 miles of new wall has been built, not 80.

if he think any indictments are warranted. we may hear from him next week. we may hear from the attorney general. you heard rumors he that he agrees with horowitz. you heard rumors that he disagrees with horowitz. there are rumors that he will issue his own report which if he did would be extraordinary. liz: based on our own sources with law enforcement and fbi, the broad zoom perspective how weak the process is, how low the threshold is to open up inquiry into political opposition campaign. the fbi failed to tell the court their concerns that the anti-trump steele dossier was not credible. fusion gps guys say it had doubtful claims in it. they said it in their book. it was not a finished public, not meant for public. they had reading rooms set up for reporters. they had reporters from "the new york times," "washington post," from abc, meet with christopher steele and reports coming in, fbi was leaking to the media about this anti-steele dossier. is this what the media is

missing? it is about reforming egregiously weak process to get fisa surveillance warrants? the threshold is low. to open russia probe they can open an inquiry allegation that a threat to national security would occur. that is pretty low? >> fisa is very poorful tool exists for good and sufficient reasons. that we can spy on our enemies whether they mean to do us harm, including foreign nations that mean to do us harm. it is an important tool and a powerful tool. the fact it was abused, potentially abused for political purposes ought to scare us all. if you have people in the intelligence committee and top law enforcement agency approaching investigations and fisa process, which is a really a public trust through the jaundiced eye of a political lens and partisan politics, that is, that is very, very scary. and the public ought to know about it. if it damages the fisa process, potentially could jeopardize a

very valuable tool we need for national security purposes. >> to your point, anti-trump bias, text messages we've seen between lisa page and peter strzok, the text messages saying that trump was quote, awful, a disaster and republican supporters are branded crazies and ignorant. >> right. liz: the insurance policy was the russia probe. so it seems, when you put it all together, broad zoom context, anti-trump buyers at fbi. steak the steele dossier as road map to help launch a probe, get renewals. who knows what was going on that super constitutional fisa court. final word, john. >> these are people because of their obvious biases shouldn't have been involved in the investigation in the first place. but if they were involved in this investigation, it was incumbent upon them to go the extra mile to make sure that the evidence that was in their, the allegations in that steele dossier were verified. in fact none of that was done. now there may have been other information that established an

adequate factual predicate but that does not excuse the shoddy work that was done in an incredibly important investigation before a very powerful court. liz: john, thank you so much for joining us. come back soon. appreciate your insights. >> my pleasure. liz: next up, more on joe biden. he is thought to be the last moderate in the democrat race. now he thinks he can win the white house with whopping big tax increases. big tax increases on you? the story coming up. ♪.

♪ ♪ elizabeth: okay. joe biden now thinks he can rescue his struggling campaign to win the white house with whopping, big $3.2 trillion in tax increases over ten years? let's bring in my next guest, andy puzder, it's astonishing. this is the walter mondale road to, you know, a walking failure, a landslide loss. >> well, you're right. mondale ran against a president who cut taxes, created jobs. he went and told the american people he was going to raise their a taxes, and he lost 49 states in the general election. so binden's on the -- biden's on the wrong path here. it may be the right path to get the nomination. you've got to keep the democratic socialists happy during the primary process, and they fall for this, this politics of envy.

this is something they like. so in that sense, he may be on the right path in the primary. but in the general with election, this is a killer. elizabeth: tax increases, income tax the increases, capital gains tax increases. to your point, the policy of jealousy and envy is taking from people working hard all their lives to make the government bigger when he oversaw the obama's job training policies and spent tons of money to study it, found that job training policies and agenda and agencies and programs at the federal government don't work. so, you know, i -- it just baffles, baffles people. go ahead, andy. >> well, you know, and even stranger than that something that nobody talks about is that the first year, the first full year, fiscal year that the government had the tax cuts in place, tax revenue went up $200 billion. i mean, tax, the tax cuts didn't decrease tax revenue, they

increased tax revenue. so so how are you going to get rid of the tax cuts that increase tax revenue and somehow generate more income? it doesn't make any sense. it's part of that democratic socialist math i. just doesn't add up. elizabeth: quickly, the campaign trying to capitalize on a hot mic moment with justin trudeau and emmanuel macron making fun of the president. the campaign ad leaves out the fact that the head of nato says, yeah, trump is working to get nato countries to pay more on their own defense. >> that's exactly the point, they loved obama. they wouldn't make jokes about obama, he was their buddy. he didn't make them contribute more money. he had the american people continue to pay. of course they don't like president trump, president trump's making them pay what they owe, what they should pay. he's fighting for the mesh people and, you know -- the american people, and the european leaders don't like that. and if joe biden wants to take advantage of it, you know, good

luck. elizabeth: it's also to get nato to stand up to russia. andy, come back soon. we love seeing you. >> thanks, liz. blithe blithe thanks for watching. lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. have a good evening. ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. president trump is back in america, back from the nato summit where he successfully reminded justin trudeau, french president macron and a handful of their european counterparts that president trump is, indeed, the leader of the free world, and they just might want to pay closer attention when he speaks. so chastened, the alliance today as a result are stronger. now at home the president taking up a domestic teaching moment, we'll call it, a teaching moment for those rinos, rad call the dems and deep -- radical dems and deep state artists who still
