matthew whitaker are among our guests monday. be sure to follow me on twitter @loudobbs, and fib and instaam @loudobbstonight. good night from new york. [♪] trish: okay, america, time to meet your new big brother watching, waiting to grab your phone records. congressman adam schiff is big brother on steroids. new questions surrounding adam schiff's ethical standard or lack thereafter. as he confiscates phone records. quite possibly even mine and maybe yours. schiff has pulled thousands of phone reports with no apparent warrant. and the media is treating this whole thing as a victory.

>> the referenced calls between rudy giuliani and the office of management and budget. >> rudy giuliani made a number of phone calls according to this log to the white house. >> phone records show extensive communications between giuliani and others involved in the effort to pressure ukraine. trish: this is pretty bad stuff. schiff's move is a disgraceful breach of ethical and legal propriety. how do you get court ordered phone reports without a warrant. a journalists named john solomon who was reporting a whole lot of just rudy was leaking. but instead of a major break through, adam schiff is leaving many americans wondering, can

anyone in congress get someone's phone records and publish them? i saw how subpoena powers only extended so far. this columnist from the hill, john solomon, accusing john solomon of having a phone conversation? i hate to break it to you, mr. schiff. but that's what the american media does. do you know how many phone calls i make every single day? do you know how many people i talk to? this is what we do. we have conversations with sources. sometimes we report on those conversations and sometimes we don't. conversations are our job. we are free to have them, adam schiff. the last time i checked. the first amendment was an is still in play. as kimberley strassel at the

"wall street journal" points out, schiff's report means it's open season on the press. why stop at john solomon, adam schiff? this is a mccarthy witch hunt. he's doing a lot of people a lot of harm along the way. namely american citizens. it's clear this is the tip of the iceberg. the left is double down. in their frustrations they are promising to never give up. it's kind of pathetic they have become to this so-called cause and cause it is. >> 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 the house can vote into peach a president. we are not going to end investigations because there may be a possible opportunity to do other things at a later time.

trish: they can gene go and go. a former obama administration official tweeted out a similar sentiment. at what point does this become presidential harassment. plus over two years of our time with mueller. now we are dealing with crane. enough is enough. because as much as you want to keep spewing hate. hate is like the hate we see outside the trump rallies directed at the president's supporters, or the hate that we see at antifa gatherings, where people have gone the beaten up by these thugs. that's somehow think it's right because they don't like what the other side says. as much as columnists at the "new york times" want to write

about civil war, 2.0. something i'm partially in agreement with them on. and as much as you try to shut down and muzzle the other side. the truth is that in the united states of america, truth always wins. joining me tonight, former trump 2016 deputy campaign manager david bossie. good to see you. adam schiff. you know, i'm not a they will scholar. but i sure don't like the idea of a congress person being able to go out and get all these phone records from anyone they think is worthy of their investigation and then be able to publish them. you think about the thousands and thousands of records that got his hands on, and the innocent people in there. he's going after a journalist? because the journalist had conversations with rudy giuliani? i have had conversations with

rudy giuliani, too. when does it end? >> it will never end. this is a sickness the democrats have. the way to solve this sickness is to defeat them next november. we have to fight them the way w- the way they are fighting us. they declared war on us and we have to make sure we fight like the wear it is. >> do you feel the republicans are doing enough? are they ready for battle? >> all of us have a different idea of where we should be and what we should be doing. i think we need to be at battle stations every minute of every day. we need to fight every single day. we have a lot of folks who want to go along to get along. what they got sent here to do in washington was to create the jobs, look at the jobs numbers today. it was remarkable and the lowest

unemployment in my lifetime. this is unbelievable. president trump has been succeeding in doing the things he promised the american people during the campaign and over the last few years all while the sick democrats in the house of representatives are doing everything they can to destroy this country and destroy our constitution. so i feel very strongly that we must fight these folks at every turn. we have to make them feel the pain and show them -- trish: they will feel it when they get to trial in the senate. >> i hope so. we are counting on it. trish: i would suspect the whistleblower gets called. i would suspect adam schiff gets called. i want to know how it is that adam schiff had a staff member who allegedly used to work at the nsc with the alleged whistleblower. and within days he manages to

get the skinny on this report that was coming down the pipeline. and we know that adam schiff lied on national television telling the world that he and his team had nothing do, no contact with the whistleblower. david, it turns out they did. >> adam schiff is a coward. we know this as a fact because he's not even testifying on monday. before the judiciary committee on the intelligence report. if he understood the importance and he understood all -- he does understand all of what he has done, the mccarthyite tactics that he has been using during this investigation to undermine this president, that's the reason he doesn't want to sit there to answer questions. we'll have our day in the senate. maybe it is, maybe it's not. i want the democrat congressional members in the trump districts to remember next november their vote for

impeachment will come back and haunt them. trish: i said it yesterday, trump has won 2020 because of the democrats. they did well in mid-terms because they ran on policies and healthcare. maybe the left-wing media is convincing them it's too boring to talk about meaningful stuff that will result in change for everyday americans so they turn to this. this will wind up costing them 2020 in massive ways. >> and i do -- it's important this president wins reelection and we win the house back. then we'll be able to get the things done this president promised for the american people. you look at what he has done so far with strengthening our economy and creating jobs, bringing jobs back from overseas. killing al-baghdadi and decimating isis. you look at all the things he has done. all with his hands tied by these

congressional sickos in the house of representatives. just what we have been doing. just think what we can be doing as americans together if we didn't have this problem. >> i get frustrated with this. >> it's putin getting the upper harden. they are his pawns. they are doing all the dirty work for him. divide and conquer. the democrats made sure he crosses the finish line. oh, david. it's good to see you. thank you so much. pelosi is not too happy about take something tough questions, shall we say? >> do you hate the president, madame speaker? >> i don't hate anybody. not anybody in the world.

trish: tonight i'm calling her out because it's a small little dose of what this administration actually faces on a daily basis. >> has the president at any time thought about a second -- that's a ridiculous question. >> that's enough. trish: the vice president's daughter is here to talk about her new book. you don't want to miss that. that liberal professor needs to get her facts straight. remember how she said there are more poor people out there than ever because of president trump. >> you gave more bucs for hillary clinton than the other two? >> i have been giving money to charity recently because of all the poor people in the united

states. trish: how can she be so unaware of how well the economy is doing. meant face of a global slowdown, the economy soaring. 50-year low for unemployment. 2.5 million americans lifted out of poverty. what dark liberal fantasy is she living in? niger innis will help us set the record straight after this. >> the u.s. could be headed for a recession. >> on the cusp of a recession. >> it's about time we get a recession. >> meant irof tiens of a what'd we decide on the flyers again? uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over to "over seventy-five years of savings and service." what, we're just gonna swap over? yep. pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over?

that's right. instead of all this that i've already-? yeah. what are we gonna do with these? keep it at your desk, and save it for next time. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. male anchor: ...an update on the cat who captured our hearts. female anchor: how often should you clean your fridge? stay tuned to find out. male anchor: ...this year's most buzzed about premieres... female anchor: makes it red-carpet official with... male anchor: 50 5-star products you can buy online right now male anchor: tributes pouring in from fans... female anchor: her hot new album is just one of the things we talked about.

male anchor: beats the odds at the box office to become a rare non-franchise hit. [anchor voices ramp up together becoming indiscernible] you can provide the help and hope that survivors need. my hands are everything to me. but i was diagnosed with dupuytren's contracture. and it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. thought surgery was my only option. turns out i was wrong.

so when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. like you, my hands have a lot more to do. learn more at factsonhand.com today. like you, my hands have a lot more to do. 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 powered by our gig-speed network. because beyond technology... there is human ingenuity. every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected. to do the extraordinary. take your business beyond. some people say that's ridiculous. age is just an illusion. how you show up for the world, that's what's real.

what's your idea? i put it out there with a godaddy website. trish: first lady melania trump spending time with children who are too sick to leave the hospital for the holidays. she made snowflakes with the children, then she read a book. the tradition dates back 60 years to first lady beth truman. you know the chicken little

story. the sky's falling. the dems are claiming literally the end of civilization while we are getting record economic numbers. almost every day. do you see this monster? and i mean monster. the jobs report. we are adding all kinds of jobs. way more than anybody thought we were going to add. nancy pelosi is trying to tell everyone if donald trump stays in power, the world will end. watch her try to sell that one. >> civilization as we know it is at stake, and certainly our planet. trish: civilization is at stake because donald trump is a king. i have got to hand it to her. she is trying. it's god to be hard when you have got a job market on fire. i am also talk about

underemployment which measures if people are working as much as they want to be work. we are doing well. so they can't get him on policy. wages are going up and people are employed. so this is their spin? vote for the democrats if you don't want to see the end of civilization? joining me, niger innis. i thought i had seen it all. he's a russian agent, the manchurian candidate, then we moved on to conjecture about ukraine. then we are hearing he thick he's a king. now he just has to go because it's the end of civilization. >> you have to love queen nancy. she is promoting an alternative universe that most americans go know does not exist. we are essentially at something

structurally what economists thought was impossible. which was essentially full employment. there are more jobs than there are people to fill it. ing this is the 11th year in a row of economic recovery and growth. but the distinction between the trump recovery and economic growth and the obama recovery. for most of his 8 years in office when you had de facto zero interest rates, you had an investment class recovering. but joe six pack, the guy on main street, not on wall street, they didn't feel that economic boom. with the trump recovery, you have wages starting to grow, and they are growing among the lowest sector of the economy. and you have inflation thought growing at that. so that extra dollar joe six pack is making has more weight

and value than it did during the obama recovery. trish: lower taxes and less in regulation. this is a country filled with tremendous opportunity and tremendous people that want to work hard. you just need to basically get out of the way so that the engine can power itself. that's what i think trump successfully did. i had a feeling he would. even when he was running. i said gosh, this one looks good. really good. and i'm not surprised that our commission responding the what it is. when you think about how it must make life for the democrats. because they get nothing. >> they are desperate. and they are pitching socialism and near communism, if you will, against a booming capitalist enterprise that is the united states of america. i don't think the american people are going to buy it. several polls in the last couple

weeks have shown within the black community trump's approval rating is between 20% to 30%. trish: when you think about the african-american community in recent history has been devoted to the democratic party and been sort of a lock. if he challenges that, niger, wow. >> then you are talking about an existential threat to the dem that party. trish: i think of all the hard working people in the black community, they want their shot at the american dream, too. you put in socialism, it robs everyone of the chance to really strike it big. that is sort of the -- this is the land of opportunity.

i would like to keep it that way, niger. >> i would, too. here is another fringe benefit of this booming economy. it gives trump a really good hold card in his struggle with the chinese over rescuing our intellectual property and the number of issues we have with the chinese. the chinese were making a bet he was going to be a one-term president. now we know that's not the case. trish: a rude awakening for them. it's good to see you. thank you. apparently you don't need to be nice, these socialists. a newly hired bernie sanders campaign official for having a history of racial slurs and denigrating remarks directed at gays, jews, women. that about covers it. coming up, we'll hear what he actually says.

also coming up just in time for christmas. the vice president's daughter is here. she has a new christmas book. we'll talk about that and more with charlotte pence. pelosi is not used to taking tough questions. the daily caller stephanie hamill is in the house. she joins me next. >> has the president at any time thought about stepping down. >> no. i think that's absolutely a ridiculous question. >> that's enough. that's enough. >> pardon me ma'am. >> that's enough. i'm your 70lb st. bernard puppy, and my lack of impulse control, is about to become your problem. ahh no, come on. i saw you eating poop earlier. hey! my focus is on the road, and that's saving me cash with drivewise. who's the dummy now? whoof! whoof! so get allstate where good drivers save 40%

for avoiding mayhem, like me. sorry! he's a baby!

(danny) 12 hours? 20 dogs?asy. where's your belly rubs? after a day of chasing dogs you shouldn't have to chase down payments. (vo) send invoices and accept payments to get paid twice as fast. (danny) it's time to get yours! (vo) quickbooks. backing you.

trish: nancy pelosi showing a dislike for a reporter who asked a provocative question at a press conference yesterday.

>> don't mess with me when it comes to word like that. trish: she then went on to cnn to dis him a little more. >> why did that elicit such a response from you. >> was that a reporter? is that what reporters do? trish: yes, that's sometimes what reporters do. and reporters have gotten worse and worse and worse. have you followed the president's express conferences in recent years? here is jim acosta not about to let go of that microphone for one second. president trump: that's enough. that's enough. >> pardon me, ma'am. trish: how about this when we found out about the president's

good health. >> the president is very healthy andr will remain so from the duration of his presidency. >> are you ruling out early on set of alzheimer's. >> a guy who eat macdonald's and drinks diet cokes isn't is as good a shape as you said. >> too much mcdonald's, too many burgers. >> drug addiction? >> any other drugs? >> no be he has no drug addiction. trish: then there was this awkward exchange involving april ryan. >> has the president thought about stepping down before or nows? >> no, i think that's a ridiculous yes. >> mr. president, are you a racist? trish: they yell questions at him. he is the president of the united states. oh, nancy isn't able to take it, i guess. it seems this is what reporters

do. i don't like it either. but talk about total hypocrisy. nancy pelosi never had a problem with the press issues. she can dish it out. but shy sure can't take it. joining me right now, daily caller stephanie hamill, where has she been? where has she been to ask is this what reporters do? yeah. this is what reporters do. >> there is so much hypocrisy. we would need a 24 hour shower or month-long show to cover it all. this is happening every day by the sycophants in the mainstream media. jim acosta is the king of it and they are praised for it. people aren't crying over it. but i watched a video of vintage nancy pelosi from 1998 where she said quote
