have a good weekend. lou: good evening, president trump holding a raucous rally in nevada. the president speaking for 1 hour 45 minutes before 7,000 of his supporters at the las vegas convention center. thousands more watching the event from the outside. the president calling the radical dimms sick and their sorry efforts to undermine his presidency a total failure. president trump: the radical left's attempts to poison our democracy and overturn the last election ended in a big fat

failure. you saw it today. single best day i have ever had in the polls. [cheers and applause] lou: what kinds of day was that? the president hailing his high approvals. the latest real clear politics average has president trump tied with his all-time record high. 49% approval, higher than president obama's approval at the same noinlt his presidency. president trump taking shots at the radical left's latest effort trying to insinuate a russia farce. unnamed sources telling "the washington post" and the "new york times" that the house intel committee of course have been briefed by the dni claiming russia is supporting president trump for reelection. this according to quote people familiar with the matter.

unnamed sources. the very tiresome collusion nonsense being peddled about it none other than adam schiff. president trump: these people are sick. it's pencil neck again. little pencil neck. i just see it again. i was told a week ago. i was told, they are trying to start a rumor. it's disinformation. it's all they are good at. the do-nothing democrats. that putin-wants to make sure i get elected. listen to this. so doesn't he want to see hot democrat is going to be? wouldn't he rather have bernie who hone honeymooned in moscow. these people are crazy. that's all they think about.

they don't think about the country. lou: or anything else. one of the failed results is the sentencing of trump associate roger stone. this case riddled with corruption and political bias on the part of the prosecutors. the obama. appointed judge aimy berman jackson making a mockery of such bias. people sort justice roberts said we. according to the 40-month sentence judge jackson is over four times more on the average sentence on obstruction of just it offenders with little to know criminal history. the stone case more than a year.

more than twice as long as the average federal felony case which would be 7 months. joining us, saul, good to have you here. i was astonished to hear judge jackson make the comment she did talking about a cover-up. it was one political slur after another. your reaction as an attorney, a former prosecutor? >> i don't agree with you, lou. i don't approve -- i don't agree with all of her comments particularly at the end of the sentencing particularly about what stone's motivations were. but if you look at what he ended up sentencing roger stone to is still a substantial down ward

variance. to those of us in the white collar criminal defense industry, you don't get those every day. would i have sentenced him to a little bit less. yes. but i think that her sentence was well within the mainstream of what we see in the white collar system. lou: you are sounding like an aattorney who might have top appear before the judge. 9 months is typical. this is a guy who had to wake up with his wife to scene fbi s.w.a.t. team raiding his house with m-16s in their arms. this is a little much from beginning toned. >> that's a different kre question. lou: they are all related. >> well, i thought the arrest of

him was totally out of hand and i condemned it at the time. the judge of course wasn't responsible for that. i think some of the issues that you have raised are very appropriate to the decision president trump is going to have to make pore may make as to whether or not whether to pardon roger stone. that's exclusively within president trump's control. but the judge has a different function. lou: we are all sphea ware of what a judge does. and we know it's pap bunch of clap trap that's judge rob earth spewed when he said we don't have obama judges, bush judges and clinton judges or strum judges. it's silly. we are seeing as raw as we have in my reading of of history a

clear partisan divide even in the je jew dish -- even in the judiciary. where the the concerns when every one of the folks that we know who are certified to. and you could argue on far more serious matters. >> some of them are being investigated. and some of them have people, to take an example a know a lot of your viewers are interested in. andrew mccabe. there is little question. if anybody is careful about what he says, it's the i.g. michael horowitz of the department of justice. when michael horowitz said you intentionally lied on four occasion and sent a criminal

referral, that's something everybody should take notice of and people should be very concerned he was not charged and should ask questions about it. having been a prosecutor for 12 years, there are all kinds of reasons why cases can go wrong. what i have been able to tell from the mccabe investigation. he had people spinning for him at the grand jury. and he would have been prosecuted in d.c., and d.c. juries are a problem for people who are opposed to president trump and who are friends of president trump. lou: i have watched enough perry mason to know that you can get a change of venue when you have a jury pool that's biased. i would say the margin of 10-1

democrats would qualify. >> i think that's true of a defendant who is making the argument that he or she can't get a fair trial in a particular jurisdiction. unfortunately the district judge, the trial judge has tremendous discretion. lou: we are back do judge jackson. >> i don't know if he asked for a change of venue. lou: why shouldn't he have to. why shouldn't the justice department have the responsibility top make that into consideration. remember no trump judges, no obama judges. why wouldn't she acknowledge what was staring her in the face. and in the case of two of those jurors she knew about it or should have. >> we exist in an adversary

system and your lawyer is supposed to make these arguments. >> i have never heard of a judge on his or her own saying we are going to change the venue. that's up to a defendant to have a lawyer make that claim. lou: do you think he got a lousy deal? >> it depends on what your definition of deal is. lou: i thought you were going to question lousy. you went for deal. >> it depends on what you are looking at. lou: you are parsing too much here. >> you make a good point that we now know the fisa investigation, the crossfire hurricane investigation with the fisa application we know that it was bogus. it was obtained through false statements in an affidavit to

the fisa court than would have been no further investigation and it would have ended much further if those misrepresentations had not been made. that's a consideration the president can take into consideration. lou: i think the judge told us why she is motivated the way she is. and she is not concerned about the motivations of other jurors and would not take it upon herself to stoop so low to represent the interests of the on ther person staring into the muzzles of three loaded prosecutors. sol, as always, good to see you. ' sol wisenburg. president trump said he was considering doug collins for the

director of' national intelligence. the senate and the apparently wanting to take a little pressure off the senate race where he does pose a strong strong threat to the establishment choice which is none other than senator kelly lovkelkelly loeffler *. no secret as to why the national republican senatorial committee condemned collins when he announced he was running for senate. loeffler * and her husband contribute $1.5 million to a mitt romney super back in his presidential run. and of course congressman

collins did as well in the house. but there is a vote and then there is a vote. america's longest war may be nearing an end tonight. general jack keane joins us tonight with more on that. also, how the white house is planning to continue this country's communications dominance or the likes of one huawei. china's entry into the competition. we'll take that and more with the president's top economic advisor, larry kudlow. ♪ ♪ you work hard for your money. stretched days for it. ♪ ♪ juggled life for it. ♪ ♪

the summit might take place sometime in early april. you will have the big carriers, at&t, verizon, t-mobile, sprinted. we'll be represented by a japanese carrier paving the pay to spot of ware driven 5g. intel will be there. cisco will be there. qualcomm will be there. there will be no shortage of the american companies. we have smaller american startups. lou: we don't have any come pet dwroors huawei, do we? >> i don't know that yet. lou: be careful now. >> i will be as careful as i can.

but i will tell you deployment of 5g in 50 cities has been a great start. we'll be auctioning off a lot of of satellite spectrum that will get into the rural areas. lou: i should have followed my instincts and i got too far into that. the fact of the matter is, we are running behind china in 5g. if you can get us moving with a conference, god bless you and god speed. i want to turn to the economy. this economy is going gangbusters by any definition. we are seeing considerable concern in the marketplace if we can believe the folks who cover such things because of fears of the coronavirus. is that fear in your judge the

policthe -- misplaced or overdo. >> it's about china. the virus is very well contained in the u.s. the china things a human carian tragedy. people are talking about the up reply cases for our country. it could turn worse. i don't know if the information out of china is correct or not. i would say this. if you look at some of the recent data points, the ism manufacturing reports from new york and michigan, i guess it was, or chicago, there were no supply shortages. lou: this economy is strong as it can be. >> the new york fed was up big. no supply shortages. i don't want to crow.

i am just saying so far with what we know -- lou: we want you growing this economy, are you kidding me? let's turn to something we are not crowing about, a number of pieces of legislation which would be effectively an and necessary city led by thom tillis that would give 2 million people amnesty. we are look at mike lee's 386 in the senate where they want to double the h-1b workers. this looks directly antithetical to what the president said, hire american, buy american. and suddenly we are looking at immigration legislation being moved by the republican conference in the senate and the

house. >> the administration has its own merit-based legal immigration reform plan. i don't know if any legislation would get through. lou: but the point is, you don't want it, right? you are not supporting tonight legislation some elements of the republican party are trying to move in the senate and the house. >> that's correct. we are supporting our own comprehensive immigration plan based on merit. on the issue of available workers, this is a very strong prosperity cycle led by pro-growth policies on low taxes and regulations and energy independence. and better trade deals. lou: fair trade deals. >> they are going to open

markets. let me just suggest the following. the employment population ratio suggests there could be 6 million more american workers who could cop out of the woodwork -- who could come out of the woodwork and into the labor force. there are still americans who would be able to work. the second point i want to make, we are growing faster than anybody thought with the lild and low wage earners. and the stock market boom, it's the consumers below the bottom 50%. they are doing the best better than the people in the so-called top%. so i have got a blue collar boom. a durable prosperity cycle. we surprised people, 6 .7%

unemployment with no inflation. just to rounds this out the congressional budget office using president obama's policies said we would grow only 2%. lou: but people are saying you said you will be at 3%. this nonsense goes on forever. you have got one thing to do and that's to win the november 3 election and you won't do it if you start sponsoring these types of bills you are seeing mike lee and thom tillis trying to pass. >> there could be as many as 6 million american workers who could cop out o, could come oute woodwork. lou: i want to see the wages

stronger before we talk about 6 million workers. we have to talk about that. we have to have a national dialogue. no matter which administration embarks on them, your participation in this administration makes me feel better about the whole thing. >> it's a blue collar boom. lou: it's a boom for everybody. thank you very much. a new nbc news "wall street journal" poll is really quite something. it shows joe biden and bernie sanders gaining similar levels of support among black democratic voters. the only problem is the findings are based on some rather weak support. the poll had a very, very small sample. are you ready for cities in 139

black voters. a margin of error of 8%. nbc news admitted the sample size and the margin of error made it difficult to decide the. but that didn't stop chuck todd running an entire segment on this poll. who knows. and certainly we don't know as a result of the nbc news-"wall street journal" report. what could be the first fragile step in trying to end the 18-year long war in afghanistan. is it possible with the taliban and not the afghan government? other money managers od don't understand why. because our way works great for us!

[♪] lou: secretary of state mike pompeo saying the united states and the taliban agreed to a 7-day long reduction? violence effective 5 hours ago. if that holds they will sign a permanent peace agreement for afghanistan next saturday. however, the afghan government is not any part of the negotiation and that appears to be a problem for everyone. joining us, general jack keane, retired four star general and fox news strategic analyst. you are talking about a reduction in violence for one week. >> it's an odd term. the taliban did not want a ceasefire. they are not a monolith i can organization and they have hard

liners who would never comply with a ceasefire. the taliban fears if their fighters went home for that long they may lose a lot of them. reduction in violence is a test of good intentions is the way i would descroibt our audience. if this does reduce violence. the major muscle movements are. another agreement, taliban and u.s. as you ingds kaitd. it brings an end top negotiations, the afghan government, that is a big deal for that to take place. lou: do you think that will occur? >> that will take some time. the differences are very significant. but that's when gorieses begin. -- that's when negotiations

begin. we would reduce our forces to 8,600. it would take 7 months, possibly a year to get to that number. it will be conditions based. those are the major muscle movements. lou: there seems to be a central tension in this. part of this convince the tall ban our goods intentions after being in their country for 18 years at war. that will be difficult. secondly i don't understand what the motivation is for the taliban for to us leave on such a slow pace. i think it would be hard for them to tell the difference between our being there six months from now and our being there now. >> they would like it to go sooner. but the taliban only has you

other of 7% of the population. to participate in a constitutional election these guys would go nowhere. they want power sharing outside of a constitutional democracy. our ads ministration has their eye -- our ads ministration has their eyes wide open. we know the taliban will do anything they can to get the united states out as quickly as possible so they can take over the country after that. whether they can make a deal with the afghan government. should we be trying it? of course. lou: this is -- it's very difficult to imagine how the taliban with 10% representation

within the country and the united states has been standing up the afghan army to use your lingo. panthe -- and they are not capaf coming a balance of power that would satisfy all parties. it's difficult to imagine anything more difficult than bringing us to a head in 7 days and having an honest to god peace agreement. i would like your last words on this. >> we are beginning a very long process. we should take a healthy dose of scepticism. root for success but be clear about the obstacles in front of us. lou: we thank you so much. up next, president trump

promised to drain the swamp. he's making moves tonight to make sure there are no more never trumpers roaming around in the vicinity of the white house. john solomon joins me after this quick break. alexa, tell me about neptune's sorrow. it's a masterstroke of heartache and redemption. the lexus nx. modern utility for modern obstacles. lease the 2020 nx 300 for $359 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. now you can, with shipsticks.com! no more lugging your clubs through the airport or risk having your clubs lost or damaged by the airlines.

lou: former cia director john

brennan taking shot at trump supporters after the president called out james comey, and lisa page and peter strzok for their lies. >> roger stone the judge said trampled the law. and public servants like james comey. the things he was saying about these individuals and talking about peter strzok and lisa page and others. he played to this debased group of people who are listening to what he is staying in terms of trashing good public servants. lou: gren brennan is always debecause himself going back to when he spied on the snaints tell jones agency and initiated spygate and exploited a

fraudulent dossier that led to spygate and of course spying on the president and the worst political scan dplal this president's history. the main author of the nunes'-'. the director national intelligence, cash patel will be senior advisor to the acting head of intelligence ric grenell. he was the principle offer of the' memo showing the bias against president trump and his administration. joining us now, john solomon. good to see you. this idea that cash patell will be with ric grenell at to clean

it up. your thoughts. >> cash can keep a good secret. i had him on my program and he didn't say a word about it. trying to get everybody rowing in the same direction in the intelligence community which hasn't been going on in the last several years. so he's very talented. he's a former federal prosecutor. he's a quite player on some of president trump's recent successes. he has been overseeing some of the operations that took out soleimani and others. i think he and ric grenell can get a team together that they

can trust at the odi. lou: the briefing with the house intelligence committee and suddenly aflutter are the staff and members of that intelligence committee, the democrats trying to insinuate the same nonsense they tried and failed for three years now as a weapon against this president. and also instructively it's pretty easy to see that bernie sanders is also in their sights because of the threat he represents to their political party. >> there is a leak to that tonight from the intelligence community saying you have to take it with a grain of salt. i think what the president just said is a more accurate representation. there are is some doubt about his authenticity or its intention. sometimes russians know they are listening to them so they leak

something to cause distress. lou: can you just-imagine the delight the russian intelligence folks and of course putin have as they watch -- all they have to do is sprinkle this nonsense across our media and they rise like guppies to it as intend. >> i talked to an intelligence committee source said putin in his wildest dreams could have done what he did in 2016 if it weren't for the media and the democrats. that's an intelligence community member telling me that. lou: watching john brennan, when i think about this man, his sorry nature oversaw the spying of our own senate intelligence committee which he lied about

and his entire career is ri ferk -- is"life, liberty & -- i. i can't understand yep hasn't been held accountable. >> i had a chance to have dinner with him that feels so much more prophetic. he said it took a long time for generals to realize there was politics in the intelligent community. i looked back at that statement and thought was he talking about the politicization of the intelligence community under his watch. he's bringing dishonor to the intelligence professionals who

pride themselves on not being partisan. >> certainly those who don't pride themselves' with ideological goals. the president seems to be full of energy. he's directed. he means to clean up his administration throughout. by the way, intelligence is a great place to begin. >> when the new odni director ric grenell. they have an opportunity to go back and look at the intelligence. maybe fresh eyes could be applied there. devin nun says said there is effort that the u.s. government target of trump goes back to december of 2015. if that's true it means our

government has been lying to us for three years. i would keep an eye on that's prediction by devin nunes. lou: devin nunes saying it makes

is all about. >> i agree with the op-ed writer, there are some churches that deserve to die. the churches changing god's message to fit the culture. conservative churches that refuse to change the message, the eternal truth of god's word are growing. our dmump downtown today -- our church in downtown dallas covers six blocks. we haven't changed our message. we are bursting at the seams. god blesses a church that honors his unchanging word. lou: a lot of churches are dealing with a contest between

those who want the church to remain conservative and traditional and those trying to accommodate a younger generation, at least that's the expression of their intent to attract them. how is that conflict resolved? >> i will tell you, the real resolve will be for churches to differentiate between message and method. we employ new methods all the time to reach people. but these liberal churches think they can put their finger in the air and figure which way culture is going. people changes and culture changes and polls change, but god never changes. lou: i want to get your opinion on another subject. pete buttigieg's brother telling fox the presidential candidate is pushing an anti-god agenda

even as he was saying that religion means -- if you are religious you shouldn't be voting for trump. i want to get your thoughts on that on the other side of this quick commercial break. reconcile that for us if you will. as a struggling actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchumal- cut. liberty biberty- cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ you've been hearing a lot about 5g. but there's 5g... and then there's verizon 5g. we're building the most powerful 5g experience for america. it's more than 10 times faster than some other 5g networks. and it's rolling out in cities across the country. so people can experience speeds that ultra wideband can deliver. 1.7 gigs here in houston. 1.8 gigs here in frigid omaha. almost 2 gigs here in los angeles.
