us in your home. lou dobbs is next, here on the fox business network, have a good evening. lou: good evening, tonight, we begin. polls in new hampshire are closing, many polls throughout the state including manchester are still closed in. the rest of state polls will open and will close at end of the hour, with 1%, are you ready? no report can be too early, no vote too small with 1%. amy klobuchar as you see there, in the lead with 30% of the early vote. bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, with 15%. this coming from are you ready? this so think about effort we went to, to put this graphic up.

we have a larger staff producing the graphic than the voters in three towns, 27 voters in 3 towns in new hampshire. president trump is enjoying his highest approval rating of his presidency, the economy is booming under. illegal immigration is now the lowest level in two years. and message of america's resurgences is evidence through out the nation. here is the president trolling just a little bit, the radical dems at rally in manchester, new hampshire. >> the extreme left has been wasting america's time with the vile hoax, we've been killing terrorists, creating jobs, raising wages, enacting fair trade deal, secures our borders

and lifting up citizens of every race, relin religion, color and. we're expanding the blessings of america to all of our citizens. 9 months from now we're going to take back the house of representatives. we're going to hold the senate. and we're going to keep the white house. >> if you want your children to inher i--inheret the blessings e must devote everything we have toward victory. nopnovember 3, 2020. >> remember that date. how are the dems doing as they start tong about that date? november? they're encountering what some wags call headwinds, a new monmouth university poll, 66% of american voters are now

predicting president trump will win a second term. less than a third of americans believe he will lose. and as president trump ascends, joe biden reels, after leading dems polling nationally for all but one day over past year biden now trails sanders. and real clear politics national average losing 7 points since the beginning of the month. >> but, this may well have been expected in most quarters, in biden's previous bid in 2 in --, high struggled. -- he struggled receiving less than a percent in iowa, less than a half percent in new hampshire. my goodness. history repeats itself. biden's super pac is warning of a doomsday scenario should biden be forced from the race. little bit -- donors hedging

their bets to biden because of bloomberg could create a doomsday scenario. the sanders and warren wing of the party is ready for a blesser bloomberg fight. to speak about it, we joined by former reagan white house political director, fox business political ca analyst, ed rollina split convention, it gets exciting but first new hampshire. >> 1%. it will be a while. your thoughts about biden first of all. >> biden is gone, he was smart enough to get on a plane to fly to south carolina, which is two weeks from now, he may have an outside chance of coming in top 3, but he is probably ending up

fifth today, that is next to dan quail the worst any vice president has run in modern times. he just no base there. no support. not a good candidate. then idea you get on a plane and leave the state on the day when half of the voters have not voted yet, tells you, thank you very much, i do know need your vote. i think that sanders will win. not as big as he thought. marmayor pete problem second and warren fourth and klobuchar -- >> despite the 20. >> 27. >> big surprise is debate had a big impact in exit polls, 40% said it had a big impact. winner was senator from minnesota. now moving right in probably third place. lou: we need to do keep this in

perspective. we're talking 400 thousand votes tonight, all of those network trucks park the up there. the attention we're giving it. and glory alleluia. what does this mean? >> nothing. this is -- i have been around this business for 50 years, i am a pretty good predicter, i cannot predict what is happening here unless chaos on democratic side, they have prob bhil ti pra socialist. warren will collapse i believe, and then bloomberg, i dismissed earlier but now i see the power of millions, billions before done, may come down to those two. lou: really? you think that the democratic party could embrace a billionaire. >> no, half of them can't.

socialist half wants to put him in jail for stealing money. i remember the mcgovern nomination, this was basically like that. the chaos. it gave reagan the opportunity to come back after carter. lou: have you seen a better timed rally than president trump's last night. >> he was having so much fun, too much fun. >> can you have too much fun. lou: >> not when you are winning. lou: to look at numbers in monmouth poll, 66% believe that president will win reelect shup. that ireelection.that is highesr he has gotten. >> the best part is the focus on the economic welfare of the nation, he is benefiting on that. people think, thing are going great, they feel good about

themselves, he gets credited for that. lou: it is stunning to the left wing in this country, his polls, 95 percent of the republican party, love the man. 20% to 30% minority voters are embracing him. independents by significant margins. talking 30% at least, are embracing him, they are vying for a perhaps a very halo prize in the democratic presidential nomination. >> no matter what happens, i hope we can take the house, i think nancy pelosi is done as speaker, they will lose seats, she will be thrown out and blamed for a lot of this. lou: you don't like nancy pelosi. >> i have been a friend of hers for 40 years, i don't like her philosophy, but she lost her political instincts. lou: ed rollin has not, with their us tonight.

secretary of state mike pompeo. on china's worsening coronavirus crisis. and china's rising threat to all americans, we'll have that, secretary pompeo here tonight. also national security adviser robert o'brien cutting council to size, congressman devin nunes said that o'brien should get rid of all obama hold offers and lying leakers. >> i said that part. we'll be back with congressman nunes, secretary of state pompeo and update on the coronavirus, dr. anthony fauci will join us from national institutes of health. stay with us, we'll be right back. stay restless with the icon that does the same. the new rx. crafted by lexus. lease the 2020 rx 350 for $419 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

lou: a confirmation hearing this week in senate for a little known u.s. attorney, it may provide revealing information about what may be a deep state cover-up. this is thursday, formeru attorney for district of columbia, jesse lieu will sit before senate banking committee to become treasury secretary, during her time as dc top attorney, well -- lu helped a my

name of james wolf, wolf was former security director of senate intelligence committee, he was indict in the 2018 for leaking information to 4 journalists, including one with whom he was having an affair. as i said, hig he legal lied tod fbi, and picked up highly classified document, to take to senate innil telecommity, that -- intel committee, that document contained first two fisa warranters for carter page and was the foundation of accelerated spygate. also on march 17, democratic senator, senator mike warren, texted christopher steele's attorney, he was going into the scif, what did they talk about?

also the date stamped on release fisa warrant that allowed spying to begin on carter page, from that fair to say james wolf took custody of carter page fisa applications, delivered them to the scif where they were reviewed bicepper t -- senator r then leaked to press by james woaflwolf? what happens to wolf? he was never charged with leaking classified information. senators warner, richard burr and diane feinstein asked for leniency in his case, this is where jesse lu came back in, dropping most of the charges. allowed him to plead goal o guio one count. did department of justice or fbi

have evidence that james wolf leaked the carter pai page fisa application? is lou trying to cover-up, did she help cover-up the wolf case? remember, two months in prison. >> president trump reportedly looking at removing one of men responsible for starts the dems failed impeachment sham, president and his adviser to be discussing removal of intelligence community inspector general, michael atkinson, who is responsible for transmitting so-called whistleblower complain to congress. our next guest, one of president's staunchest defenders in congress, and also called for removal of all obama hol hold ovechkioffers, great to have yoh

us. gra great tgreat to be on with , thank you so much for everything you have done. lou: i appreciate it, and countryos yo owes you greatly. let me start with the national security adviser, has started trimming down the council from more than 200 employees. >> so, let me say too, i just heard, i normally you break the news. but, talking about lu who was nam nated and has been nominated and will talk with senate, i am hearing now that president has actually pulled that nomination. that would be good news, maybe the president was watching and just decided to do it on a whim. lou: the fact is, i would certainly -- i just condition imagincan'timagine it would havd

as all because of her background. >> you are right. but the questions that senators could have asked would have been wonderful, if they would have you know followed through, and actually were tough. and ask the tough questions. i think that president has pulled that nomination just hearing the breaking last few minutes. lou: wonderful, we appreciate you sharing that here. and i am sure right now, as i speak we have people all over phones, trying to talk to the administration about what is transpiring there in particular treasury secretary. let's turn to the downsizing? or right sizing perhaps? the national security council. >> so roughly, there were like roughly 500 people total in there, around 250, about half of

those, were political appointees or policy people, the way that i know now, is finally, with new national security advice roor sr o'brien he has the number down to 200. their havthere have been way too many looks, i have been saying, until you stop the leaks you get those people as far from white house as possible. just move them out. not saying fire them but get them the heck away from the president. that place leaks like a sive. i am not saying it came from there i have no evidence. lou: i should say, that many people say, that the primary source of all of the leaks in this administration for the past three years, has originated in

national security council. >> i believe that. i do. they would be -- that would be the logical place. we knew there were a bunch of obama hold overs in there, you know how people that were on that team, then end up on house democrat, adam schiff's committee, part of this impeachment hoax. there is a whole lot there that we need to get to the bottom of. that is why i said, get them out, quarantine them, that is putting this presidency in danger. i think that president now understands that. and i was hoping that john bolton would have cleaned house, he didn't, but now that o'brien is, it will be a big improvement. lou: absolutely. let's turn to the attorney general for a moment. he is making purpose -- important statements as he does. but acknowledging that justice department created an intake of

process for rudy guliani's information on the ukrainian relationships with the bidens and the charges there. he says also he is doing precisely the same thing, offering it to anyone who has information to come forward. your thoughts about the attorney general and what he s he is doi. >> this is not news, the main stream media trying to make a big deal, buzz the because they never wanted to investigate it the department of justice, by its name, to have justice, you have to make sure that people who are citizens of the country, have a way to come forward and bring the department of the justice information. so, this is not a big deal. remember, this is in. could that we have been looking for, house republicans have been looking for in information for a

long time, rudy guliani, president's personal attorney, who was looking at ukraine, we were looking at ukraine, and low and behold, we were trying to figure out where did this black ledger come from used to dirty up the trump campaign. why did ukraine ambassador in dc say nasty things about candidate trump at the time, these questions need to be answered, i think what attorney general barr said was obvious, that is, yeah, we're the deputy of justice -- department of justice we take this information in, that is what they are there for. lou: they are paid to do so much they have not done. as you know. >> or they have done things that are not so, they need to be investigated for. >> that are not legal as well. >> yes. lou: and at-this-point, stand with without accountability. >> can i say something about we started with james wolf.

if you look at wolf, here is a guy who leaked classified information. as you started out with. he was sleeping with a reporter. and leaking information, leaking classified information, he lying to the fbi. and so he gets a couple months, in prison. now you have roger stone, who is investigating on what is now a total witch-hunt, the fisa warrant that whole process. >> our viewers are looking at a picture of james wolf. >> so think about this he gets a couple months, sh he should have gotten more, today, roger stone who never should have been investigated, because dirty cops knew in january of '17. months before mueller there was

no collusion between the russian and trump campaign, this was a bogus investigation from the beginning. so roger stone gets drug through the mud. okay? he gets busted for what? for lying to congress. okay. if you remember democrat on that committee did all they could to trip him up. look, not okay to lie to congress. it is a problem. illegal. lou: not terrible because james wolf got two months. >> he gets two months for leaking. >> stone gets 7 to 9 years. >> i want to make sure you understood that with correlation weacorrelationbetween wolf and s no sense. lou: and general flynn, whose sentences by judge sullivan has been delayed for what reason? because the justice department wants to hang him high. >> i would say -- >> there is something wrong in

that justice department this is happening. >> let me tell. >> the president is right it outrageous. >> let me tell you something else. you will be interested in. there is more to come, lawyers that stepped aside today that busted made the 7 to 9 years. lou: prosecutors. >> right, we believe that this is not going to be the only example. we think there are other examples of things they did during the mueller investigation that i think you and your listeners and american people will be very interested to learn in coming weeks as we unpeal the onion of what the mueller team was really doing. i say this, when mueller was appointed. -- we have to ask ourselves, he walks in door first day, and said show me evidence you got on russians, they are like, bob sorry we have nothing. who the humanitaria hell did th? they set up an obstruction of

justice trap, and within after a bunch of people who got sentenced, some have served their time, it has to come into question now at-this-point. lou: good for you congressman, i could not agree more. and i hope that you will be with us throughout the next few weeks as this does, say unfolded. >> thank you, lou. lou: and again, thank you for all you have done, and continue to do. >> thank you. lou: devin nunes. up next, secretary of state pompeo on china's rising threats, they with us, we'll be righwe'll beright back. doug with this key to the city.

lou: despite president trump's historic trade deal with china, the relationship between u.s. and china remains fraught with friction, and potentially conflict. this week, secretary of state mike pompeo described the

perils. >> competition with china is happening inside your state it affects our want it. to perform america's vital security functions, under xi jinping the country is moving in opposite direct. and a more aggressive military posture as well. it is decided to exploit our freedoms at federal level. state level and local level. >> with us now, secretary of state mike pompeo. >> thank you, lou. lou: i have filing strong feeling you and the president, are taking the country to a level of consciousness that we have not anticipat anticipated r membership years, many of -- many years. but you are taking us there

warning of the implications of a highly sophisticated china. that is expandtionary and -- into fabric of our nation. >> it has been too long. we have allowed it to continue without a deep awareness from american people, the remarks they gave saturday past, were just the facts that are taking place. chinese communist party is doing, we love the chinese people, there are places we can trade with them, and components, but, everyone needs to be aware there are risks, my role is this they are often chinese diplomats who are stationed here in united states, engaged in this this was. we just want everyone to be aware of risks that are associated with activities they may be undertaking. lou: and as you say, in every state in union, this influence operation by chinese is

underway. and without exception, every state, every citizen should be aware of it. these scale of what you -- you are putting in front of us is a threat from people's republic of china. is massive, it is sophisticated. it is complex. you are also talking about a u.s. foreign policy that has to in response be equally sophisticated. while our citizenry we're trying to catch up to you. >> i am proud of what we've seen, we said here is what we want to do to protect american people from the challenge. on trade, reciprocity and transparency, in a sense the same way. if they have a confusous institute, if really just about people to people, why can't we have the same thing at a chinese

institution. we would welcome that. they have them in high schools, thousand talents plan. these are things we have allowed chinese communist party to do here in united states, that we just down have the ability to do on a reciprocal basis on the side of china. lou: in your remarks, warning us about china, use an example, talk about thousand talent programs, texas a&m they thought they had 5 people engaged with the chinese it was 100 of their facfaculty engaged, your thoughs about that and how we could have let it get to this point. >> you know, i think we were not paying attention, i think, we were unwilling to take on the challenge, president trump is not afraid to take on the challenge. our fbi, our justice department, now working hard on these.

5 were declared and dozens more as part of program, we have a set of rules, they were not complying with that we want chinese students coming to hernn that, that is fine, but we need to make sure they are doing so in a basis that is transparent and fair, they are not report back to beijing. our first amendment does not permit. >> and it looks like a whole sale attempted buyout. of our universities and our academics. those who would take chinese money, and in some cases as it the apparent outcome at harvard university, head of their chemistry department taking millions from chinese while also receiving grants from the federal government. >> president has talked about theft of american intellectual property, by chinese communist

party has been central. the president talked about it in his campaign. about how unfair this was, we were getting i think he said, ripped off. so that wealth creates that the inventor and property owner not to the chinese communist party. president trump has been strong on this. and state department all of agents in united states government are focused on protecting american people. lou: and as if the relationship between the united states and china were not complicated enough. the coronavirus outbreak. the united states, working hard to get medical teams in. from our cdc. in to china. trying to help, i know that you have this administration as shift all sorts of medical -- ship all sorts of medical

supplies to the chinese, how would you assess it. can you update that just a bit for us? in terms of what is going on. >> lou, it is a global epidemic we need to work our way through. with science and facts, president trump taken action to try to protect american people, we have changed the ability of folks to come here, we go the americans out of wuhan. we put them in quarantine for 14 days. to make sure we protect american people. americans expert in to country to make sure that we help the world, address this challenge, and we at state department have brought americans home, we have done so safely. and now we have provided up to 100 million in circumstance in o china and other country impacted by coronavirus, this is a say serious challenge, the whole world needs to take on this

challenge together. lou: a man with plenty of challenges, secretary mike pompeo thank you. >> thank you, lou. lou: up next. new american case of coronavirus. is confirmed. world health organization warns of a worldwide threat. a member of president's coronavirus task force leading expert on the disease, dr. anthony fauci, tells us what to expect after this quick break. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ wherever we want to go, we just have to start. autosave your way there with chase. chase. make more of what's yours.

doctor, good of you to can be us. we've seen the number of death rise and number of cases rise, there does not seem to be a slowdown, your thoughts on where we are, and what we're seeing? >> well, it as you say. the cases are still continuing to accelerate, it is still on the uptick as cases continue to accelerate. we have now three national cases in united states nine are travel-related, they were individuals who were infected in wuhan in china and came to the united states two of the 1 of te close contacts of some of the individuals, unfortunately, the system here, of identification, isolation and contact tracing

seems to be working, because we have not seen any sustained transmission, hopefully that never occurs, but we certainly are on the sharp look out for that. at the same time, as we see now. the access taken to cointain some input to country of the infected individuals. >> and that screening goes on. are you do you believe we're in a better position in terms of more effective screening or is it too early to even think about that? >> we're in a better position certainly to prevent or certainly dramatically lessen the likelihood that someone who is infected with the coronavirus, will enter the country, that say combination of

a couple things going on, number one,. chinese themselves, they are curtailing transit out of large number of people that have about 55 million people who are in lockdown, not having the capability of flying out or train or ferry,ing in the and airlines have cut down on their flights out of china, and our system now of travel restriction, together with enhanced greening by cdc, we have 11 designated airports there is enhances screening. i would imagine this is affecting in keeping a lid on this as we mention, from the begin of the di discussion, it s still accelerating.

lou: turning to -- i am told that is not chinese -- have not sameaccepted that offer on our . i don't know where we are with world health organization teams are they now in china working? >> i think there is some misinformation about, that the cdc people would go over there under auspices of w.h.o., we have submitted our people we feel would be appropriate there, w.h.o. is right now in process of trying to get w.h.o. team in there. and we would be part of a enjoytatioin--invitation by w.hs no indication that i heard anyone refused anything. lou: inversely, no one has gotten in yet? >> to my knowledge, not yet, but i think that process is really in movement now to get there.

lou: that is improvement. your thoughts for those watching. and listening to your voice. right now, as to what they should expect, and abou when we should be doing to lessen any pos bhil tie opossibility of th. >> one thing that individual american citizen can do, and health officials, we have discussed in a good discussion about what the officials can do from a publi pub public health d point, and et cetera, the individual person, american person, the man and woman and child in the street, they should do is focus on the fact that we're still in the middle of an influenza season, it can be serious there have been about 10,000 deaths this year, over 100,000 hospitallinization, whao

you protect yourself are low tech, washing your hands, avoiding crowds in which a lot of people are coughing, and sneezing. and those are kind of things we do. pure hygiene things, i cannot every estimate the importance of doing things such as washing our hands, as frequently as you can and avoiding crowd the places, if there is a coronavirus that enters, you get exposed those same things that prevent you as an individual from gets the flu would protect you and help you not to get the coronavirus. >> dr. anthony fauci thank you so much. in these uncertain times. ure clarity and your knowledge of great help to us all. thank you so much. >> good to be with you, lou. lou: thank you. >> app update from new hampshire democrat primary now, 4% of pro sinkpre70sprepre-- reporting, bs

half-point, as the under nasdaq gaining 11, on the board 3.8 billion shares in a reminder, listen to my reports three times a day "coast to coast" on the salem radio network. china threatening telecommunication companies nokia and ericsson ahead of france upcoming 5g decision in april. china says, do not wish the european companies and the chinese market affected by the discrimination and protectionism of france and other european countries with regard to huawei. france, unlike the uk is expected not to work with huawei on the 5g network. joining us now is doctor michael pillsbury, the director center at the hudson institute, author of the 100 year marathon, it is great to have you back from europe. good to see you.

what are we to make of this direct threat from china to europe, your thoughts? >> i think that is right, huawei is one of the national champions, it is a company in china that goes far beyond anything that we have. it would have to be american company in which we have our entire national pride invested and that's how they think of huawei. and they're determined to have a showdown, london, paris, berlin and brussels with the eu. so far they are ahead. i was quite surprised to hear a lot of british who otherwise you think was national security hawks saying we have to make a deal with huawei. we had to make a deal china over wall. and i said why do you think that, they said you americans are split. we hear your president, we hear mike pompeo, but the other security leaders in washington don't really speak out on the china threat. and they are still speaking mainly of cooperation and competition with china here in

washington as opposed to the idea that this is a very serious possibility that truck under president trump has talked about that china could surpass her country. i heard president trump ensures you have, if hitler had won the election, china would be surpassing us now. this is a very serious challenge to american world leadership a lot of our administration at the working level and higher up don't see it that way, they are not quite as drink as mike pompeo, attorney general barr for example is very tough on china. >> mike pence has been the perfect on china. >> with this going on, the trade deal, the historic trade deal created i was so impressed with the secretary of state pompeo. he needs to be very clear about how this relationship is in the liens have to be followed and he

is quite a balancing act. your thoughts? >> secretary pompeo has been very clear about china being the main strategic threat to america. they had a hard time saying that. that's where we separate the different voices that are being heard by the europeans. >> should we name names? [laughter] >> i think the problem is the holdovers, and attitude, there is a very short point made two weeks ago by the secretary of defense on the pentagon, he said we need to change the department of defense's culture in china. i ask what secretary meant by that, he said the pentagon is basically pro-china. they gleaned deeply, our aircraft carrier should visit hong kong, we need to have air to air exchanges.

this is quite shocking if you're in europe trying to decide about huawei, you are the pentagon is to increase our change programs or china. we have the american military units. don't go into china and conduct exercises, they are called humanitarian or relief, but we are not training china from the pentagon's point of view, secretary of state mike pompeo -- >> we need to change another thing about the culture of the pentagon. that is that the chain of command is still in effect. in the boys and girls of the pentagon who have one word about 20 years, i need to get a little bottom modesty and get their head straight. i think that should be a course and yes even the air force academy. what do you think? >> amen.

>> i don't think it's going to happen, i think mark esper was being especially frank to talk about the culture of the defense department as a problem in dealing with china. he said it in a roomful of never trumper's at a think tank called csis, i do not hear a lot of applause. >> they need to be applauding because they have a commander-in-chief and we have a president as you well know who deserves both the respect and highest and best efforts to move this country forward. and you are one of those setting the wonderful example. michael pittsburgh, thank you for being with us tonight. >> i command mark esper for being so frank. >> excellent. i applaud everywhere. i thanks so much. >> in our poll last night we asked if you believe in political polls, we are pleased to report 96% said no, that is it for us tonight, we thank you for being with us. tomorrow night warding chain, house minority steve scalise
