know that. lou: he and i, we get along pretty good. thanks so much. good night from new york. [♪] trish: tonight our first lady under attack for everything from wearing pants to her choice in christmas decor. it's an epic double standard where the left gets to dictate what is fashionable, ways appropriate and ways moral. this is wrong, it's mean, and it's about time someone called them out. good evening. i'm trish regan. the media is showing its claws. the media is morphing melania's wearing pants one given day. >> you think there is a message

in slacks or trousers. >> i think there is a certain way donald trump prefers women to dress in a more feminine way. i think he's an old-fashioned man, and i think that his taste tends toward more feminine gash. trish: somehow when melania trump wears pants, she is doing so to annoy her husband. how are you duck plus to even entertain d how are you deck -- how ridiculous to even entertain an idea like that. i'm wearing pants tonight. by the has no special message. i like the way they look. i also like to wear dresses. to read so much innuendo into an

outfit choice. remember how they flipped out when she wore heels on the plane before change into sneakers. how about their reaction to her christmas decorations. "the washington post" said it was odd to wear a coat. i hadn't even noticed she was wearing a coat. the "new york times" devoted paragraphs to the possible meaning of it. do these reporters not have anything else to report on? contrast the criticism she gets contrasted to michelle obama. >> michelle obama sparked satisfaction revolution. >> she inspired so many women for her initiative and her style. >> on her first day as first lady, a fashion star maker.

trish: i guarantee you michelle obama never had to experience anything quite like this. high school kids, middle school kids booing the first lady. it's not right. i am not saying you need to love her choices in fashion or her christmas decor. i get that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. but why is the leftist media always assuming the worst? or overanalyzing her decision to wear pants. she is entitled to respect as a woman, respect as a mother, and respect as an advocate for young people. and respect for the office she holds as first layeredy of the united states of america. position be i should say.

you may not like her husband's politics. i get it. but there is no reason to not like her. to not like the fact that she is first lady and who she is as a person. it's not who we really are. we are not, i hope, that mean spirited. joining me, presidential historian doug wead. i know you spent a lot of time with the first lady. you have a brand-new book, "inside trump's white house." how does she take all this criticism? >> she is amazing. she shines with this sort of criticism. the louder they boo her, the better she looks. she is so gracious and refined. and she doesn't panic. i think they are surprised when they saw how calmly she reacted almost as if she was ready for it and expected it.

first ladies have gone through this if they are conservative. pat nixon was accused of being an alcoholic. nancy reagan according to kitty kelley had an affair with frank sinatra. it's like saying president trump is a russian spy. trish: conservative women are unfairly targeted by the media and the left. and any first lady who doesn't subscribe to their viewpoint. >> historically it appears that way. especially with the tremendous vitriol against donald trump. my book is filled with pictures of melania and donald trump with their arms around each other and holding hands. the kids talk about it amongst

themselves, how playful the president and the first lady are. the mueller report came down. he wanted melania right there with him in mar-a-lago in their private suite so they could go over it line by line. trish: this is the media's m.o. tulsi gabbard and hillary clinton. because use is seen as not quite as in sync with the left, the "new york times" fashion critic said it's stale and passe to wear the white suit. but when hillary clinton wore it, it was stunning for women. she hasn't done anything but mary a guy they don't like to bring it on. >> the pictures will endure and

when historians come back from the distant future and they see this beautiful and wonderful and poised and gracious person, they will say what is going on here. so she knows what she is doing. she had that experience. that's why she had so much poise when they booed her. she knows how to act in front of the camera. she kept going. trish: the liberal media loves to paint president trump as an antisemite. it's to put jews outside the definition of us. the anti-semitic tropes seem to follow him everywhere. trish: but the left refuses to call out anybody who is actually an anti-semite.

chief strategist to president trump, mr. steve bannon. impeachment? wow! they seem pretty hell bent on it. they were launching the inquiry before they even read the transcript of the call. what's your reaction? >> they have been hell bent on this since 2:30 in the morning november 9. the reason they losted the election and donald trump won is the midwest. he reached out to working class people who understand the jobs are gone, the opioids are there. hillary clinton was too busy to do that. they have never accepted the responsibility for that. so they had the nullification project started immediately. russia and just everything they have thrown up everything at trump consistently. now they have got this phone

call situation? ukraine. my point to them is hey, if you want full sunshine on everything that took place cross-fire hurricane. everything that took place with biden and president trump's calls to the ukraine. bring it. let's have a full drill down on exactly everything that went on. trish: that's not what they want. >> i'm not somebody who wants to relitigate 16. but if they want to do it and this ways they are trying to do, let's do the whole thing. i think president trump's frustration is he sees what a poor job brennan and clapper and the rest of the guise did about china. and the intelligence on china was terrible. that's why trump had to come in and stand up to them right away. we have been molly coddling

china or decades. trish: the concern -- >> the focus has been centcom and other things, but it hasn't been on the central threat. part of this reaction and part of what is going on in ukraine is because of the call because of what happened early in the administration when the australian call and the mexican call with the heads of those two countries when the whole transcript was released. no whistleblower came forward then. both of those politicians turned on australia and the mexican president was out of office shortly thereafter. so the security apparatus to me has been -- i'm not a guy with the deep state -- the national security apparatus of the united states has essentially failed the united states. that's why donald trump had an america first policy.

they can come at him any way they want. he's not going to back off this. i'm so proud i's standing up to china and iran. he's got everybody. he's got squall street, the corporations. he's got democratic party. but he's fighting back. give me a break. we have gone through this 3 times before in american history. once after the civil war, the bitterness that was there. once after vietnam. then with bill clinton. this is the fourth time. you are telling me these calls rise up to that level? >> here is the question. how do you your job if you are president of the united states and you have got people of within your circle that don't want you there and want to take you down. you have a whistleblower who wasn't on the call. this is second hand information which turned into the whole whistleblower complaint. you have a whistleblower who wants to take you down.

i would think this is a bad precedent. >> it's a terrible precedent. turnbull and the mexican president are gone most live because of those transcripts. you can't have these transcripts and continue to conduct foreign policy. at the time hundreds of people got it. we restricted that so it was a core group of people. my problem is the people who gave it to the whistleblower. if you are in the nsc, did you go to your superior? they have the political, the messaging, the media. and they are driving to a point. slow this whole thing down. this is not going to be nancy pelosi's choice or adam schiff.

it's the american people's. nothing is more significant than nullifying a presidential election. you want to do that, the american people will take their time and weigh and measure what's out there. trish: the train has left the station. >> i don't think the train left the station. there are many alternatives to slow this down. to say we want to adjudicate this properly. if they want prans transparency and sunshine, bring it. if they want to do that, let's go back to steel, let's take the whistleblower. let's take joe biden not just in ukraine, joe binder and his son in china. what did joe biden do about the islands being built in the south china sea?

let's go through all of it. if that's what they want, let's do it. but let's take our time and let's do it. i have got news for the democrats. if we go through all of this and take our time. the 40 seats you won. those people, if they vote to impeach him, i think when all the evidence is out there, they will sign their political death warrants. they just have won. they have taken the house. they have control. they put it all in the field. if that what's they want to do, every night like the "new york times," cnn, msnbc. another leak. trish: how bad is this for the country? >> it's terrible for the country. i think you see why bind and these people are taking money from china. you start to see what the

intelligence apparatuses were doing during the campaign. the 40 subpoenas the house intelligence committee put out under devin anyone's that rosenstein never cameback with. right now the way they are doing it, this blitzkrieg, thick in what is going on in china. but that won't stop them. what they want to do is nullify the election. they are prepared to sacrifice a rook to get the king. hillary clinton or bloomberg or some centrist comes in here. trish: hillary clinton might be back? >> hillary clinton is doing a meeting for a book she wrote. she came out yesterday and said he's an i will legitimate

president. he's a clear and present danger. chinese communist party is not a clear and present danger. donald trump is a clear and present danger. she is running. >> is there nobody on the call that could have said don't go there? he's got a certain style. that's why he's donald trump and that's why he has been able to push back on china. i think the team is fine. i think stephanie grisham, mick, they have a fine team. number one, let's slow down. let's get it all on the table. let's go. because trump can play that game. and let the american people decide. this is not for nancy pelosi and the democratic caucus to decide. and i believe the american people will weigh and measure this and i think it will be catastrophic for the democrats.

examples of what he says that's facist or racist. >> they are supportive of white supremacist donald trump. >> these people shouldn't be allowed to live. >> i believe any trump supporter is officially a fascist because he's a traitor. >> what did he say that's racist? trish: that's hate directed at turning point's charlie kirk as he attempted to lecture at the state university of north carolina along with his guest lara trump. he was being called a racist because apparently anyone with a different point of view or dairs to support president trump is labeled a racist. they couldn't actually say why. they just didn't want him there. doesn't think he has a right to exist. they say he's a fascist.

the man who was attacked, charlie kirk, along with someone who has become all too familiar with this brand of hate. charlie, what do you have to say about that? people calling you a fascist. do you want to educate them on what fascism is? >> when we do our campus events, anyone who disagrees is allowed to come to the front of the line and ask any question they want to whatsoever. instead of having a conversation they were screaming outside because it made them feel good, not because it did good. this is virtue signaling in real-time. the university administration or college professors weren't encouraging the students to have dialogue and conversation. they couldn't say one thing i believe.

it's just innuendo and insults. when you don't talk to people bad things start to happen. trish: they didn't do their research. they had no idea who you are and what you stood for. all they knew is you support the president. but you said something flornt. i am all for being able to protest. that's our first amendment, great, go for it. but the idea of shutting down speech, they are taking it a step too far. it's one thing to say we don't like with they stand for if they knew what you stood for. it's a whole other thing to say they don't have a right to exist which is what we heard from one of those people, tomi. that's turning us into a society and country we are not and i hope we'll never be. >> it's very concerning. it's laughable when you look at

the videos. i think any reasonable person would look at that and say this is not compelling evidence that anyone is a fascist or a racist. young people are use their free speech to protest the free speech others. they don't know what flash flood watchism or socialism or communism is. but they will continue to do it and we have to continue to speak up. we can't let them silence us because if they do, we win. trish: universities should be the kind of place where you thrive in speech. it should be. they talk about safe spaces on university campuses. a real safe space should be for speech where you hear things thrown around whether you like them or not. people should intellectually be able to compute different ideas.

>> that's exactly right. it's supposed to be a marketplace of ideas where you can have debate and dialogue and discourse. but unfortunately these campuses have become islands of totalitarianism. we as conservatives believe the left is wrong. the left things we as conservatives are bad. you play that out and you see the kind of rage that these protest ishes have. they never met me. they don't know me. they don't know anything about our organization or the fact that our organization is proudly one that is very diverse and one that is have much on college and high school campuses, representing all students of different background. but it makes them feel good because someone told them i am a bad person. when that happens with no dialogue, discourse and debate, you are raising a generation of

protesters. trish: tomi, it feels mean. they are mean about it. just anecdotally. i will talk to people on the left that come on these programs and they say, you know, one thing i always say is i get a chance to speak on fox and i'm treated with respect. i say of course, we believe in dialogue and we want all sides heard. respect is so important. there is no respect right now on the left for the right. and that is a slippery slope, tomi. >> they put themselves on this moral pedestal we talk about all the time where they think that because they are on the left, because they consider themselves socialist, democratic socialists, bernie sanders supporters, they stand on a moral high ground and they can say and do whatever they want. you don't have to go to a

charlie kirk event or "usa today" event. but our college students have to sit through liberal indoctrination in classes they are paying for day in and day out. they can't even stand to have people like us on their campus. it's true intolerance. i hope they understand how ridiculous they look and act. charlie, tomi, good to see you. a special holiday message from a special guest. 2020 dems pushing for open borders. >> raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. but then you have to connect, download, edit, reformat, output, save, send, upload... still uploading... and maybe eventually post.

enforce our borders. trish: that was vintage senator dianne feinstein. she was running back then. if we watch the uptick in crime in european communities. is it not fair to ask why? why take on so many when it's unclear an economy or population or culture can support it? when you take germany whose crime rates generally decreased since the 1990s. but they spiked in 2015 and 2016. at the same time hundreds of thousands of refugees began entering the country. while countries like sweden and france from seeing a rise in populist conservatism. the native french people and swedes are questioning how their system can support so much welfare. here at home we need to be

asking ourselves the same thing. i am for immigration. i believe we've should be open to accepting people who want to work hard and live the american dream. the people who feel entitled, that's not the american way. americans subsidize healthcare for for illegal immigrants to the few of $18 billion a year. we can stand together as a country that cherishes freedom by work across the aisles and engage for real immigration reform or succumb to the demand of the left and the demand of migrants who believe like leftist poll takes aiming to remake america in the -- in the image they see, that somehow we owe them. we must first consider our own.

and in doing so, we can and we will and we should welcome others. but only with the understanding that they are coming here to help make us better, to make themselves better and contribute however they can the american dream must be kept alive for everyone. and cannot be extinguished by a rabid element on the left looking to lift themselves. joining me tennessee congressman mark green. it striking me as though they want all of these people coming here because there is this hope that somehow maybe they will vote for them eventually? is this politically drive snnt reality is you can't be that altruistic when you have to protect the population that's here right now. >> clearly it's about a political advantage to them.

taught me was to aim high. think about all the adversity that you meet in life. every day, something goes on. if you don't look at the grace half full it makes it hard to get and try again. people seat good stuff. she is successful. they have no idea how heard it's been along the way and how many times in the past. when i was 14 years old i decided i wanted to be an international opera star. my parent couldn't send me to a conservatory for music. so i had to find some way to couple the funds. i went to the new hampshire pageants and they gave $60,000 in scholarship money. and i thought i will give that a shot. city was fortunate enough to
