ayatollah. do not escalate. thanks for being with us. you have a great weekend. tom fitton among our guests monday. good night from new york. [♪] trish: we are looking at the very best job market in 50 years. zow industrial average crosses 29,000 for the first time in history. the world is in a better place without iran's chief terrorist. and what does the left do? blame president trump for the ukrainian airliner the iranians show the down in their so-called hihistoric revenge against the united states. i want you to see the left blame president trump for that deadly crash.

>> if ways being projected is true, this is another example of collateral damage from the actions that have been taken in a provocative way by the united states. iran has been a bad actor. soleimani was a bad actor. but there are many people in that region of the world who are bad actors. we have to find a way to you live together and to continue saber rattling doesn't help us. trish: then this cnn anchor seems to agree. >> blaming the president for the returnian airliner -- the iranian airliner shot down. >> she said it was collateral damage started by the president. that the iranians were clearly nervous and launched those surface-to-air missiles against the plane. she used the term collateral

damage. >> 176 people iran shot down. trish: cnn is not the only one promoting this line of thinking. you have the atlantic magazine senior editor holding the president responsible. writing that the victims paid a price for president trump's decision to kill the terrorist soleimani. the canadian media echoing the same stuff. >> i will go to my grave believing those innocents who died onboard the ukrainian flight would not have died has it not been for trump's decision to kill the general. trish: the prime minister can't answer the question when it is put straight to him.

>> this is the end of a drugs sparked by the drone strike ordered by the u.s. president. how much responsibility does the united states bear for this tragedy. >> the evidence suggests this is the likely cause. but we need a full and complete investigation. trish: he didn't defend donald trump or the united states. i want to know. how is this donald trump's fault that the iranians shot down a plane with many of their own people on board? donald trump did what needed to be done. soleimani was a really bad guy who killed americans. killed up to 600 americans. and hundreds of others throughout the world. and i wanted to kill many more americans. he staged a takeover our embassy in iraq for two days. he was as of last week the number one terrorist in the

world who killed hundreds of innocent people. the democrats are blaming president trump because the iranians cannot manage their own air space. this is surreal. next up, i suppose it will be blame them for the weather? at least i forget global warming. that's of course donald trump's fault as well. everything is donald trump's fault. somebody need to tell the dems, it's getting old. every single day this is all we hear. everyday americans, we see through it. we lived with these lousy policies for 40 years. the appeasement policies of the democrats haven't worked. terrorists thrive on being able to terrorize a nation and its leaders into a kind of paralysis which results in appeasement. that's where we are right now.

democrats were totally scared to do anything other than to make nice with the bad guys. you can't make nice with bad guys. not unless they understand who is in charge. they were throwing money at iran in an attempt to apiece iran. they were hoping and praying iran wouldn't hurt americans. but remember this? i want you to see it. remember this? taking american hostages back when they were trying to get a deal done with us with president obama. yet he still did that deal. full on knowing some of the money would mean the death of innocent people? i want to show you this clip again. a couple of clips. it's important because the obama administration totally shrugged off the idea that some money would go to iran's terrorists. >> i think some of them will end

up in the hand of the irgc or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists. you know, to some degree i am not going to sit here and tell you every come point of that could be prevented. we know iran supports terrorism. we know that iran supports hezbollah, and the assad regime. and it's certainly possible some of the money that iran has is being used for those purposes, too. trish: why they would give one dollar to iran know can it would go to fund the death of innocent people is beyond me. but what a continues between then and now. think about what i just showed you. i want to hear this administration and how this administration is thinking about money going to iran. >> hezbollah, do you underwrite

the shiia militias in iraq or do you allow your people to live the life they want. we demand they treat the iranian people in the way they richly deserve. if we didn't have these sanctions in place iran would have tens of billions of dollars they would use for terrorist activities throughout the region. trish: the trump administration is cutting iran off financially from the world in an effort to financially and militarily pressure the country into doing the right thing. for the first time in 40-plus years there is actually a chance tonight of possible peace provided iran put an end to its terror. so wasn't it about time that somebody did something different? joining me right now, house oversight committee member,

south carolina congressman ralph norman. here they are saying somehow it's the president's fault that iran -- let's not forget -- iran shot down a plane. what do you think of that logic? >> they might as well go and say wildfires in california were responsible, the responsibility of donald trump. when have they ever give be this president any type of credit? if you roll the clock back. we have 3,000 caskets of dead americans in 9/11. i can't remember one republican and certainly no democrats criticizing barack obama or take out bin laden. and here they are with trump taking out a known terrorist who beheaded people, who killed 600 americans. he killed in december a contractor. he bombed the fields of saudi

arabia. to criticize him for that, the world is a safer place. donald trump has got a spine. he's one of the politicians that thank god he's president and thank god he's doing the right thing for this country. and to get grilled and questioned like he is. the democrats' only platform is trump derangement and trying to undo an election the americans had for the last three years is not right. trish: our votes matter. you are talking about 63 million people. you just want to throw that out. then to think that they are using this as a political chip. you said it well. not one republican went after barack obama for take out osama bin laden. >> where is the curiosity of the cnns of the world, msnbcs to

question where are you paying terrorists off in cash, where is the cure osity for that? you don't maintain your freedom from being weak. donald trump has taken out right any so, the terrorists who have taken away our freedom not only for us but the iranians and our friend israel who we have to help out. trish: not only did he take out the terrorists. today we saw them come forward and announce more sanctions. if i'm iran i am saying this one bad administration. i better be pretty darn careful. >> he's sending a message. this will pay dividend for the freedom in our country. where are the accolades for not being dependent on oil and

natural gas for the middle east. whenever there is any disruption in the middle east, we were beholding to them for oil and natural gas. we are the number one exporter now thankful to donald trump. trish: we are the number one energy producer in the world is the usa, which is why the president says we don't need these guys. congressman, it's good to see you tonight. i am not yet done. to be clear, with cookie dem's jackie spear. she is also accusing anyone critical of how nancy pelosi handled impeachment of sexism. >> she is ready. she is a powerful woman asserting her power and it's making some man very uncomfortable. >> we'll talk about pelosi's

epic negotiating fail. democrats don't playing how heard it was to kill iran's general. >> general soleimani has been engaging in these activities for a long time and we know that. >> we know soleimani has been a threat to america and americans and our allies for a very long time. >> i don't think anyone has argued because that's the first time they saw him or were able to do it. trish: democrats decide not to kill soleimani because it's too easy? a story overshadowed by iran. the liberal media loves to say they have the facts. but that didn't stop them from slandering an innocent pro trump high school kid. >> some students harassing an older native american man in the midst of a special ceremony.

>> he got caught in something that was incredibly racist and disrespectful. trish: i'm calling out cnn for not calling them out. they were kids they were trying to take down. ♪

>> we just learned that nancy pelosi is sending articles of impeachment next tweak the senate. president trump: i think it's ridiculous. she should have sent them a long time ago. nancy pelosi will go dunes probably the least success -- will go down as probably the least successful speaker of the house in history. she has done nothing. trish: the president reacting to the articles of impeachment going to the senate. nancy pelosi cave together senior minneapolis in her party. the articles of impeachment are head together senate next week. she is sending them a month after the fact. she effective live was trying to create some kind of

constitutional crisis? our constitution says the house is the one that impeaches. but the president has to be tried in the senate. the senate runs the trial. nancy pelosi thought she coulding have a hostile takeover of our congress by managing it for the senate. she is pretty foolish. this was the squad, nancy pelosi that started this whole mess. lesmess. lest we forget adam schiffing a well. this is going to head to the senate. i want to hear it all. let the republican senators have the chance to be the adults in the room and ask some real questions. get to the bottom of why the heck this happened in the first place.

joining me right now. senior couple tonight and author of the new novel "collapse." mr. curt sha kirk sha schlicter. does she not understand the intentions of what our founding taughters laid out. >> she thought she could step to donald trump and cocaine mitch. i couldn't be happier. the damage these democrats have done to our political culture is incoodifficult to klt. 29,000 dow? wow. we would like to throw donald trump out because he wanted to

investigate why biden's no account crack addict son got $50,000 a month from a crane -- from a ukrainian oligarch. trish: "time" magazine is glorifying her. but if you have ask me she took on something she never should have taken on. there was so much deception and politicization, it was the wrong thing for her to do and now she is getting burnt. >> she looked like charlie brown after lucy pulled the football away and he went splat on her back side. she tried to twist mitch mcconnell's arms.

trish: you know what he would say to you, sir. because you are saying all of that stuff? jackie spierer would have a word or two for you. sheer we go. >> the real interesting part of this is we have a powerful woman asserting her power and it's make something men very uncomfortable. trish: are you uncomfortable. >> i'm real uncomfortable. i grew up in jackie spierer's district. she was a dummy back then and she is still a dummy. my genitalia does not tell me way can and can't say. i am an american citizen and i will say whatever i want. trish: curt, good to see you.

' be. >> there was no evidence given to us of an imminent threat that justified this level of action. >> i don't believe they met the level definition of imminent threat. >> there in fact was not evidence of an imminent detailed attack against the united states. trish: why can't democrats and the media be happy that a man who obama said was a terrorist and responsible for the killing of hundreds of americans. why can't they be happy he's gone? kt mcfarland is here and she'll try to figure that out with me after this. president trump: the republican party is the party of the american work, the american family, and the party of the american dream.

he wanted a man cave in our new home. but she wanted to be close to nature. so, we met in the middle. ohhhhh! look who just woke up! you are so cute! but one thing we could both agree on was getting geico to help with homeowners insurance. yeah, it was really easy and we saved a bunch of money. oh, you got it. you are such a smart bear! call geico and see how easy saving on homeowners and condo insurance can be.

[♪] trish: the ai the insane partisn efforts the democrats are taking against our president sets a very dangerous precedent. the president himself explains. president trump: these are split-second decisions. let me go over to congress. come over to the white house, let's talk about it. when can you make it? i can't make it today, how about a couple days. sure, come on or. we had to make a decision. we didn't have time to call up nancy who is not operating with a full deck. trish: you don't have time to

call everyone. if your embassy is being attacked as ours was in iraq. if you are worried about other he bassies being attacked in the region. you don't have the luxury of being able to hash it out with^er tom, deck, and harry or i will than and rashida or nancy. it doesn't work that way. this whole effort to undermine the president is wrong. it just doesn't work that way. and they know better. joining me, former national security advisor, kt mcfarland. it doesn't work that way. you have got to make decisions. can you afford the dangerous prospect of word leak out.

then possibly you wouldn't get the guy or americans would die as a result. >> you know, there is a reason he is called the chief executive. there is a won't war powers are put in the hands of the president by the constitution. i was in the white house situation room when president trump took his first military action. the bombing of the syrian airfield where they had launched attacks, chemical attacks. president trump very lib rattily got all the options. he asked the people in the situation room, he asked the military, the state department guys, intelligence, what would happen with this happened, what could go wrong. then he made the decision with a small group of people around him. he was worried about leaks. he made the decision. he slept on it, and the next day

the decision was carried out by the military. we call congress in advance or ask anybody's permission. he did inform congress after the fact, and that's the right way to do it. otherwise you are jeopardizing the military mission, the secrecy and security of the mission. and you might miss the guy because he has been informed or tipped off that the attack is coming. trish: the president said he did have intelligence and he revealed some of that to our own laura ingraham. i want to share that with you. >> don't the american people have a right to know what specifically was targeted without revealing method and sources. president trump: i don't think so. but i will tell you it probably was going to be the embassy in
