know that. lou: he and i, we get along pretty good. thanks so much. good night from new york. trish: december 5th, 2019, today will go down in infamy as the day donald trump won the 2020 election. i'm trish regan. against her better judgment, house speaker nancy pelosi succumbed to the whims of extreme left of her party, adam schiff, jerry nadler, calling on the house to vote for articles of impeachment. in doing so, she sealed the left's fate. not only will they fail to secure the oval office, they will fail in the house, they will fail in the senate in 2020 because americans see through their narrative. first it was mueller. then it was kavanaugh, then ukraine and now it is because donald trump, the president of the united states, they say,

considers himself a king. that's the newest, latest and greatest reason for democrats to impeach. listen. >> when crafting the constitution the founders returned feared return of monarchy in america. having fought a war of independence, they specifically feared the prospect after king president corrupted by foreign influence. they therefore created a constitutional remedy to protect against a dangerous or corrupt leader, impeachment. that this magistrate is not the king. the people are the king. >> he is a monarch, that is the accusation because of his son's name? a 13-year-old kid who didn't ask for any of this, by the way, is being dragged into the political schiff storm if you will, by highly biased stanford law professor who clearly lacks

warmth or decency. >> give you within example that shows you the difference to him and a king of the constitution says there can be no titles of nobility. while the president can name his son barron, he can't make him a baron. [laughter]. trish: disgusting to do that. her lame apology was too little, too late. more on that in a moment. first, i want to get back to this idea of a king, and the american revolution. i have spent many years studying colonial history. i grew up in one of the original 13 colonies. i'm too well read on the revolution for the left to pull that baloney. american revolution was about fear from tyranny. oppressive taxation without representation. the monarchy was taxing 13 american colonies at onerous rate without providing any say in their future or government. taxation without representation is tyranny. government should exist by the people, for the people, not by

itself. why the whole push for socialism, the push to take, i would argue effective steal americans hard-earned money in the form of excessive taxation this is form of tyranny that must be fought. in 1776 our nation was protesting that. remember the boston tea party, when the sons of liberty through the tea in the boston harbor in 1773 they did so to protest a government that taxed then, but did not represent them. fast forward the people that believed they were not being represented in government, the people paying too much in tax, seeing no representation of their values, their views, those people voted for donald trump and they will vote for him again. because the alternative is this -- >> will you raise taxes for the middle class in the sanders administration? >> yes. they will pay more in taxes. >> there is really no way to pay

for $3.5 trillion a year without radical, radical increase in taxes. >> yeah, it will mean higher tax. >> how will you pay for it? are you going to raise middle class taxes? laugh after. >> so, here is how we'll do this -- >> i want to make a parallel suggestion to you how you might defend the taxes perhaps you're not mentioning. trish: so you want to talk mon arcky, a party, nancy pelosi believes it is more important to protect rights of criminals in this country than the right of our own american tax-paying law-abiding citizens that madam speaker is taxation without representation. that is a form of tyranny. why doesn't the media call bull schiff on all of this? don't think know their american history. or is it because they're somehow in cahoots with the democrats who are attempting to twist and manipulate history to serve their own purpose? don't forget, when that stan

guard law professor tried to make a point and prove monarchy, somehow made it melania trump's fault when she defended her son. the first lady tweeting, a minor child die serve privacy. should be kept out of politics. pamela karlan, you should be ashamed of public panned iring and using a child to do it. they accuse the mother making too much of it, lashing out at conservatives trying to seize the moment. >> one professor's joke about president's son, was something matt gaetz seize on, come at here very hard. republicans will try to make that a viral moment. >> what we see now republicans seizing on a key moment, calling on democrats to essentially criticize this professor. >> calculate the faux outrage when they get anything to sink their teeth into, they make more of it than it is worth.

they're not concerned about barron trump. trish: let's not forget who started this. for the record, let's play it again, boys. let's do it. >> just give you one example shows you the difference between him and a king which is the constitution says there can be no titles of nobility. while the president can name his son barron he can't make him a baron. trish: i for one am very glad the first lady called them all out. as a mother, it was the right thing for her to do. i for one am glad for every conservative calls this professor out but i am disappointed the left hasn't stepped up to the plate. because this is one in which we all should agree, a child doesn't deserve to be dragged into this political arena. it is wrong, it's mean, it shows you the depths they are willing to go to promote their new american revolution, anti-monarchy theme de jure. here is nancy pelosi on with her

own king analogy again. watch. >> having just fought a war of independence, they specifically feared the prospects of a king president, corrupted by foreign influence. trish: okay. just to be clear, we know who is fallen victim to foreign influence. the democrats themselves. vladmir putin had one goal, divide an conquer, undermine the integrity of the great american election system and that he sure did. >> i brought a hat too, a russian hat. i mean, if you can't beat them, join them. >> tried to hack into an election. >> chris, chris. do you deny that? >> russia hacked our election. donald trump would not be president today if it were not for the assist that he received from the kremlin. >> the russians were successful. >> they accomplished what they set out to do. trish: i mean, who needs russian influence when vladmir putin has hillary clinton, adam schiff, obama's entire intel team, and

cnn dog the whole job for them, right? yes, we are a victim of foreign influence. putin stirred the pot and the democrats and mainstream media fell for it hook, line and sinker. something even former ukraine ambassador admitted in her closed-door testimony. as for a call with the ukrainian president that they're attempting to pin this entire impeachment thing on? watch nancy pelosi try to spin her side's narrative as fact. >> the facts are uncontested. the president abused his power for his own personal political benefit at the expense of our national security by withholding military aid. trish: wow. unbelievable. for the record, the facts are contested. they are. >> in your september 9th call with president trump, the president said, quote, no quid pro quo. i want nothing. i want nothing. i want president zelensky to do the right thing. do what he ran on end quote.

is that correct. >> that's correct. trish: correct. the aid was delivered. in fact, far more than president obama ever provided ukraine with. ukraine is in a much better position today, economically, as a result. but american voters, they see through all of this. they voted for donald trump because the traditional elites in both parties refused to represent them. i know the dems are worried about beating him in 2020. perhaps why they see him now as kind of a king because he is politically challenging to beat given the success of his economic policy, however, this is not who we are. in america we fight it out at the ballot box and only in cases like this, at the ballot box. and thus, this will go down in history as the day that democrats really lost 2020. there is no recovery from this

move. it is checkmate. joining me right now, presidential historian, author of the new book inside of trump's white house, just out, mr. doug wead. good to see you. >> good to see you too. trish: i feel like people need a little refresher here what the american revolution was really about. when i watched that today, i saw nancy pelosi, try to twist history, try to use the american revolution to suggest that somehow this president thinks he's a king, look, it was a new twist, i will give you that. they have gone from, from mueller to kavanaugh, to ukraine, to now he's a king. what is it that americans need to understand about history so that they understand how wrong she is? >> by the way that was a brilliant opening. i'm going to have to get that on video somewhere. trish: thanks, doug. >> yeah, it's too bad. the democrats change their tune. this is extraordinary makeover.

i predict this will not last very long, the king, king george, raised taxes, donald trump lowered taxes. the king increased regulation. the stamp act brought commerce to a grinding halt in the colonies. donald trump deregulated. and the democrats are openly asking for more taxes as you showed in your brilliant opening there. so it is going to be awful hard to make this particular scenario work for them. trish: to think that they're trying to somehow link it back to the son's name. i mean, but, you know, you know, saw the karlan quote there, boeing after a 13-year-old kid. that is somehow equating as a monarch. this is bizarre stuff, i got to say. >> it is bizarre stuff, now they ask who will be a king. now they want a stanford professor decide who should be president of the united states. forget the 63 million people who voted for him. you know, stanford is a great

school. i respect it very, very much but they have professors there teach the world is going to end in about 10 years, yet they signed a five-year contract with their football coach at $4 million a year. if the world's going to end in about 10 years, why don't they use some of their 26 billion-dollar endowment to make a difference, if the professors are lying, why don't they fire them? they had a professor there who said there would be hundreds of millions of people dying in the 1970s by the population explosion. so i don't think this particular professor, i forgive her as melania did for what she said, but a professor says she hates donald trump, won't even walk on the sidewalk outside of his hotel, and she is going to decide for us, on behalf of the american people. trish: but she won't. >> who should be in power. >> why they have officially lost, doug. there is no coming back from this. when you start saying that the president is a monarch, i mean, there is no recovery. it just can't happen.

they have officially lost it. checkmate. >> the constitution, the constitution, they're the ones that only a few months ago were saying the constitution is dated. they need to change the constitution, more supreme court justices. trish: who is the monarch now? >> they say the constitution compels them. i don't think so. trish: it is good to see you, sir. coming up, nancy pelosi going after a reporter for daring to ask her a provocative question. >> do you hate the president, madam speaker because -- >> i don't hate anybody. i resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. trish: hear the full sound later this hour. plus my exclusive interview with melania trump. hear her reaction to the left media circus. the president who vows to give aoc a key role in the white house if she becomes

president. imagine her as the head of the environmental protection agency. listen her brilliant idea to fight climate change. >> it does lead, i think young people to have a legitimate question, you know, should, is it okay to still have children? trish: stop having kids, everyone. plus the mother, rather scary, strange scenario from aoc. when we return. ♪ ♪ ♪ everything your trip needs for everyone you love.

saying it now but, you know, how interesting is this. he didn't go out to say i will talk to chuck schumer democratic leader in the senate, who should be in my cabinet or talk to gavin newsom, democratic governor of biggest state in the u.s., get ideas. shows the degree to which the trio here, the quad, aoc is leader of democratic party. we saw that already this week with impeachment. look who is driving the agenda, certainly not the moderates who were elected who flipped republican seats democrat in pennsylvania, orange county, upstate new york, places like that. these people are in charge of this party. trish: that is bad news for them, frankly. one of the things that she admitted to, she did so inadvertently in part because she is perhaps not so seasoned why she keeps making these blunders, nonetheless she did fully admit this is all about this impeachment. they got to impeach him. if they don't impeach him,

imagine, imagine, if he wins again in 2020? basically, laying it all out there. nancy pelosi and rest saying no, no. this is not about, you know, this is not about trying to do anything for 2020. this is about doing what is right for the constitution. what is right, right now, this is very sad, very somber time. she goes out there, says, exactly what it is, which is all about trying to damage the president for 2020. >> right. it is just contemptuous of democracy. we saw that today of course, with this sort of belief among the democrats. it is echoed by aoc and candidates, eunuchs in the palace ought to tell the emperor what to do. the bureaucrats are ones in charge. an attempt to weaken the presidency. they say we try to weaken donald trump. a long cherished socialist goal to weaken presidency, have mob rule, make america indecisive, unable to win wars, unable to move decisively in crises.

it is bad development. think what executive skill does this person have? you're not setting policy when you're in the cabinet or very important position as bernie said. you're typically managing a bureaucracy that might have tens of thousands or case of military, more than a million people involved. to have someone, frankly who is obsessed with race, who says thing, aoc says i don't know about this letter. it had 10 males. of those males, most of them were white, you can't do that type of racism when you're running an executive branch agency. it is against the law. this is such a disaster. trish: wow, for sure. you mentioned something about the bureaucrats. i want to ask you, given your experience there in the state department, what is your sense of it? who is in charge here? is it the, the american people that elected president of the united states and president of the united states sets the tone for policy on the world stage, in terms of what he or, should we some day have a she would want? i mean, isn't that, what needs

to happen as opposed to state department and the bureaucrats and everybody there who has been a career lifer at the cia saying oh, we don't like this new guy. we don't like these policies. we're going to double down and try to get him out? >> right. you know, there are a lot of people at the state department, frankly like 90% of the place votes democratic, but most of the people, if you go out in the field you meet committed patriots who will do their duty regardless who is president. as with the fbi, as with all the agencies, you get the snakes back at headquarters. that is what we saw today, people pursuing their own agenda. if they don't like what the president is doing vis-a-vis ukraine, israel, or whatever, they can resign. go somewhere else, rather than what they're doing. you know that colonel who, lieutenant colonel vindman, i was afraid the president might be interfering with our foreign, undermining foreign policy, completely impossible to do, the president sets foreign policy. this isn't going against donald trump this is an attempt to weaken the presidency and

weaken our democracy. trish: scary stuff. christian, good to see you tonight. thanks for joining me. coming up my exclusive interview with ivanka trump. the first reaction to the impeachment circus. watch. >> i think everything is a question of priorities. we have our priorities in the white house. we're fighting every day for the american worker. trish: the full interview in just a moment. it is fair game to attack president trump, god forbid you go after a dem like joe biden. he might bite your head off. i'm exposing dems double standard when we return. >> get your words straight, jack >> you were on airplane -- >> i am not going to vote for you. >> i knew you vote. you are too old to vote for me. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

learn more at jardiance.com trish: tonight our sources at the texas border patrol sending us more photos of illegals trying to cross into the u.s. in camouflage. this is story we brought to you first. you can see in this footage here how easily the illegal crossers blend into the background with the military-style gear. one source at border telling us, this is increasingly becoming a trend. take a look at pictures. look at the pictures they sent us of 12 new men they apprehended. one of whom already been convicted of rape in indiana. he had already been deported from this country back to his native guatemala back in january. he didn't even wait a year to attempt reentry. meanwhile, at the arizona border, two u.s. patrol agents protecting southern arizona were assaulted in separate incidents within 24 hours of each other. on thursday night an agent was assaulted by a 24-year-old guatemalan who illegally entered

into the u.s. through the desert. on friday afternoon, another agent was struck by a 22-year-old phoenix man, wanted for human smuggling charges when the smuggler's car hit the police cruiser. agents risk their lives every single day, every single night at border yet this is all we hear from the left. >> this is call to action on several levels. one the is interpretation of i.c.e. >> un-american, inhumane, and highly unpopular immigration policies. >> rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom, starting by replacing i.c.e. -- >> this administration will always be remembered as one that was very ruthless. >> are you aware there is perception -- >> put i.c.e. in the same category as the kkk. is that what you're asking me? trish: we can also report tonight that i.c.e. has arrested a twice deported illegal migrant that local new york police

released, illegal immigrant sanctuary county, absolutely ignored the i.c.e. detainer, even after his alleged victim died. precious federal tax dollars totally wasted because local police departments are letting these suspects walk free. here is what is clear. sanctuary policies hurt the poor, and they hurt the middle class, especially immigrant communities, by making life in these communities more dangerous. why would a victim, ever want to identify an illegal to authorities knowing that he would be released back into the community itself? there is a rule in economics shall we saw, the law of unintended consequences. liberals, their attempts to help immigrants, are in fact actively hurting the very same immigrant community that they are trying to protect. that's the reality of the situation right now. i mean, think about new york city alone. nypd refused 3,000 detainer

requests, sent to them by i.c.e. over a year long period, 3,000 criminals are walking free because of political disputes between the left and the right. come on! joining me right now, big ben sector chief patrol agent matthew hudak. good to see you, sir. wow, you see a lot there every day. walk us through what's happening with these people that are coming across in camouflage and how difficult they are to track and to trace? >> well, good evening to you and your viewers be trish. as you mentioned, i think the pictures definitely say a thousand words. you know, those are challenges that our border patrol agents out patrolling our border in the big bend sector, entire southwest border are dealing with every day. those are the extent that the criminal smuggling organizations go to try to evade the detection by our border patrol agents, dressing them up in camouflage. giving special shoes to try to leave less footprints on the

ground. using remote and rugged areas. when we talk about the national security mission, the challenges that we face, those are the challenges that are out there every day. so the challenge for us this last year, dealing with the humanitarian crisis where we saw 35 to 40% of our manpower dealing with family units and children, there was this kind of stuff going on very difficult for to us be able to respond to. now we have the opportunity. trish: does it feel overwhelming? >> it is. you know, i'm immensely proud of our border patrol agents in the big bend sector, the entire border patrol. they go it do tremendous job every day with the focus of protecting this country, protecting people in it. they do tremendous work despite all those challenges. trish: i mean, they have the challenges of just, the resources, et cetera, trying to deal with the families as you said along with the people coming through in camouflage. what about the political challenges? when you hear democrats say what they're saying about i.c.e., or saying about people who are trying to patrol the border,

frankly to keep people in those communities safe, how does it make you feel as somebody who devoted your life, your career to try to enforce the rules? >> i respect people's rights to say things they may believe, but what i know for a fact, my over 22 years with the border patrol, the work that our agents do, our partners in the office of field operations, our partners within dhs, including i.c.e., they are phenomenal people. they go out, they do tremendous work every day. they're working in harsh conditions. often times without the resources they need to do their job, but they're enthusiastic about it. they're motivated. they want to protect our country. they are focused on doing a good job. so it is upsetting when you hear people make comment about men and women really are sacrificing a lot of themselves to do those jobs. that is frustrating but, you know, with he tell our folks, focus on work we're doing, focus on the good job.

be proud of that job. trish: well, thank you for all you're doing, all your folks are doing. good to see you. coming up the interview you all have been waiting for, right? my exclusive one-on-one with ivanka trump. you will hear her first reaction to the democrats impeachment circus. ivanka trumpla next.

trish: now which go to more of my exclusive interview with advisor to president ivanka trump. she is speaking out tonight for the first time on impeachment inquiry that is consuming washington, d.c. but first, she tells me what motivates her, to show up, for the american people day after day despite all the political backlash to her, to her kids, to her entire family. you got a wonderful family. you, you don't need to do this, and you, there is some sharp elbows out there. they're pointed at you, your family, your father. even your son had picture on instagram you posted of him dressed in a "star wars" costume that created an uproar, which struck me incredibly unfair and hard. i thought, here you are, trying to do some good out there. you don't have to.

why do you do it? >> it is the the the greatest pe in the world to give back to a country that has given so much to me and my family. so -- trish: even when people say mean things, they attack you, attack your family? >> there is a lot of love there too. that can't be what motivates you. what motivates you is the path. if you're in it for another reason, it's not sustainable, because there is a lot of noise. trish: on both sides. >> there is a lot of love. there is a lot of anger. it has to be about the impact. i come into the office every day, incredibly grateful for the opportunity to fight for the people of this country and, i believe that my track record and i know that the president's track record will show we've done just that. trish: is it ever hard to stay focused at a time like this? >> no. i always believed that there are

certain things that are completely outside of your control. to be successful you just have to focus on what's before you and drive hard every single day to make an impact. your time and service are, our time here at the white house is finite. it is sand through an hourglass and you have to remember that the amount of time you have to make the greatest possible impact is, is short. in the scheme of life. so i'm just really, really focused on delivering and, i'm really proud of what we're doing. i mean the fact we've gone over 350 companies to sign our pledge to invest in 14 million job training opportunities for american students and workers is, unbelievable. trish: 14 million. that's a huge number. break it down to individual opportunities, right?

>> sure. trish: we were talking with students yesterday, through a direct result of the pledge. hearing individual stories. that is what grounds you is actually important and what matters. that is what motivates you every single day to keep going. trish: it is impressive. it is impressive what you're doing. it is impressive you stay grounded in light of everything. what do you think of what's going on right now with the democrats attempts to impeach your dad? >> i think everything's a question of priorities. we have our priorities in the white house. we're fighting every day for the american worker. we're fighting every day to improve the quality of life for every single person in this country. and we're delivering. in that fight and on that promise. that is our priority. usmca, let's get it passed congress. let's lean into the areas that people want us to be delivering on. that there is opportunity for

bipartisan wins. trish: so -- there is opportunity for bipartisan wins? when you have got adam schiff doing what he has done, you've got nancy pelosi launching impeachment inquiry before even taking a vote, i just wonder if that starts to break undo the system at all? because you do want bipartisanship. of course when it comes to jobs and economy, that should be a no-brainer but, it is -- >> every single day we deliver. the president signed an historic trade deal which happened one week ago. we just announced 250,000 new training opportunities for american workers yesterday. we will continue to work. we will continue to deliver. the ball is in congress' court. will you approve usmca, arguably the greatest trade deal in american history. let's see. trish: if they don't approve, what would that be? >> it would be a very, very unfortunate thing for a lot of americans. we know what that will do in

terms of opportunity for our farmers, for our ranchers, for communities across this nation, for manufacturing, for gdp growth, for everyone. so the ball is in congress' court. let's get it done. trish: yeah. what about, when you talk to your father, what is your sense of where his focus is? >> we need to get these deals done. trish: or oh, my gosh, i can't believe what the democrats are doing now? i look at it, like myself, i have a hard time because the stress i would think of dealing with the nonsense would be pretty challenging but to see this sort of -- >> he probably experienced more incoming than any person in the history of the world but -- trish: he is into it? >> i think my father has definitely grown used to this. this has been true basically since day one, certainly since the election. so we're focused on delivering and fulfilling promises made to

the american people. that's every day what we're focused on. trish: like lowest unemployment rate in 50 years? >> like the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years. like the lowest unemployment rate across almost every demographic you can imagine. trish: the lowest unemployment rate for disabled americans, everyone is having a greater opportunity and prosperity based on the policies of this administration. and we're so proud of that fact. and we're involved and encouraged by it, more focused and determined than ever. trish: you are doing a lot of good. what do you do in another couple years? if this administration doesn't see another term, if it does see another term, how are you thinking what you do next for ivanka? >> my family drives me in all of my decisions. so it's so important to me that my children are happy. they made a real sacrifice.

it is very hard to have two parents working in the west wing. i will very much take a cue from my children in terms of what they need from me at any given moment. trish: is it hard when you travel? >> it is incredible hard. but it as always has been hard. i always worked. always has the balance and a experience every working parent has. to a greater or lesser degree we're fighting every single day for working families in this country. we're delivering "harry potter and the cursed child" tax credit, rye fundability. increasing access for high quality child care in every way. we realize how challenging it is to balance working demands of working families. i have a lot of structure and me and support than a lot of families do. i don't think it is necessarily harder for me. it is just different. i'm fighting every day for them and people less fortunate than

me, with less resources than me. but i will very much take a cue from, from my kids in terms of what's right for our family at any given moment. to be honest -- trish: have you found your calling though? you're doing work that you're very passionate about. i have known you for a while and have certainly followed you and seeing this commitment to workers, that i think you sort of always have. i look what you're doing right now. you seem very happy in this. which brings me back to the elephant in the room on the impeachment front. how could you not be? >> when you go out in the country and i hear people whose lives are better, their families lives are better, their communities are thriving and it all relates back to the policies in just 2 1/2 years put in place by this administration. it's incredibly rewarding but i was happy before. i had an amazing life in new york city. i built big businesses. they were very successful.

and, i think you need the opportunity to do this and -- trish: it's great, right? but at the same time, you have got a political system that is trying to enforce some kind of a takedown ever the president of the united states who happens to be your father who happens to have your family name. i know if it were my father i would just be angry, i would be defensive, it would be hard for me to keep doing the work that you're doing. i admire you for that but, you know, this is your family. this is your family name. do you ever say how did we get into this? >> this focuses all of us. we want to continue to fight and win for the american people. nothing is going to distract us. there is too much at stake. so maybe it's maybe it's genetic thing. trumps are fighters. it is motivating, right? we'll keep going and we'll keep
