gridlock and make progress on substantive policy. in other words, the work and the fight are too much for portman and his like. the good news is there's another seat opening in the senate for someone tough and smart if enough and patriotic enough to fight for this country and our way of life. we'll take that battle up, that battle for the nation's soul tonight, with congressman matt rosendale and former congressman jason chaffetz. the deep state is continuing its unconstitutional surveillance of american citizens. we call it spying here. so does the intelligence community which is buying our financial data the, our location and other information about us. buying it. they don't even have to work for it. we'll take that up with judicial watch's tom fitton. and red storm rising, not even a week into the biden presidency and communist china is ramping

up its aggression for two straight days. despite their friend joe biden being in the white house, the chinese have sent their bombers and fighter jets into taiwanese air space. we the take it up with asia expert gordon chang here this evening. tonight's big story is the continued violence in this country of the radical left. despite joe biden being president of the united states. in tacoma a large group of rioters blocked roads, smashed windows, set fires. the left-wing mob surrounded a police cruiser. the police officer tried to get away. and in so doing, two pedestrians were hurt. correspondent dan springer has more on the left-wing violence northwestern u.s. style. >> reporter: the mob was demanding that that officer involved in the incident saturday night be fired. they also my greated over to the

pierce county jail -- migrated, and there they demanded all the inmates be released. police did make two arrests of people who were armed and wearing all black with tactical riot gear and ski masks. police say they were seen trying to pick a lock to gain access to a building rooftop. the man was armed with a handgun, the woman had double-bladed knives and batons. they were booked on suspicion of first-degree burglary. about a hundred people were protesting a actions of an officer the night before, seven county employees had to be evacuated for their safety. the video that touched off the violence is pretty shocking. a tacoma police car can be seen plowing through a crowd of people and running over at least one person. the officer was responding to a large group of street racers doing doughnuts in the middle of the street, but soon after he arrived on scene he found himself surrounded by people, and some of them began pounding on the patrol car.

here's one of the witnesses. >> there was never a call made for people to disperse. there never one time told people to get out of the way. people just approached the car started yelling, you know? like a group of kids, started yelling at him. >> reporter: in a statement, quote: people hit the body of the vehicle and its windows. the officer, fearing for his safety, tried to back up but was unable to do so because of the crowd. the officer had his lights and sirens activated while trying to extricate himself from an unsafe position. the officer drove forward striking one individual and may have impacted others. we do know that two people were taken to the hospital, one has since been released. the officer has been put on paid administrative leave, and the tacoma mayor called on the city manager and the police chief to insure that all those responsible are held accountable. lou: incredible, absolutely

incredible. in the northwest, apparently, they don't know what it means when a siren and police car lights are running. dan springer, thank you for reporting. the northwest has become quite a part of the country, hasn't it? in portland antifa targeting the immigration and customs enforcement facility there, calling for an end to borders and deportations. officers with the federal protective service fired tear gas, and they detained a number of people in the mob. president joe biden wants to court immigration to this country, and he has a novel way of doing it. he wants to increase immigration. according to a white house statement, the president's plan is to reduce immigration by increasing resettlement capacity. that's quite a phrase, isn't it? resettlement capacity. he would increase immigration pathways, as the white house

calls it, in the united states, and that would improve processing at the border for a asylum requests and reverse president trump's immigration policies. let me see. elections have consequences. is this what you voted for? because it's sure what we've got. for more on president biden's calls with foreign leaders, we turn now to fox news senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot. >> reporter: lou, president biden making a round of foreign leaders in the last couple of days, speaking on the phone over the weekend with u.k. prime minister boris johnson here. a lot of feel-good talk about the close alliance between the two countries. johnson making a pitch for a u.s./u.k. trade agreement post-brexit. biden also spoke with the french president, emmanuel macron, very pleased about the reengagement on the international front, especially plans to rejoin the

paris climate accord. one trickier call happened last friday between president biden and mexican president lopez obrador. the mexican leader and former president trump actually got along well in style at least. biden did his best to accent the positive even as he intends to reverse trump immigration policies saying his administration wants to get to the root causes of illegal immigration focusing on central american countries and southern mexico, talking about greater resettlement of migrants, more legal migration pathways. reportedly not brought up, president biden's intention to put a halt to the construction of the border wall between the two countries and to soften up some of the tough measures by officials along that border encouraged by the former president. in fact, the mexican president might have other things on his mind right now as it has been revealed that he has contracted covid-19, and his country is facing skyrocketing caseloads

and death tolls from that disease. lou. lou: thank you very much, greg palkot, reporting from london. and we should point out that mexican president, the mexican president is suffering now from covid-19. he does describe his symptoms as being mild, and that is good news. we wish him a speedy recovery. we should also point out while most countries around the world are enforcing security at their borders because of the resurgence in the china virus, the united states and mr. biden appear intent to loosen security at our borders. well, he is president, and the radical dem-run cities and states around the country are beginning to reopen. we take that up with jason chaffetz here next. stay with us, we'll be right back. ♪ ♪

politics were behind many of those decisions. those politics are now at work again, apparently driving a positive, the reopening of schools and businesses and entire states. and we have this breaking news for you, radical dem california governor gavin newsom is lifting the china virus stay-at-home orders for the entire state. even as california is now last in the country in terms of distributing vaccine shots to its residents. in chicago a teachers union there is failing students by defying the school district's order to return to the classroom. while the las vegas school district is bringing students back to the classroom after 18 students committed suicide since it shut down those schools nine

months ago. they decided it was time to reopen. president biden's chief of staff, ron klain, and the president's senior adviser, cedric richmond, are repeating the lie that former president trump left no vaccine. despite the fact that none other than anthony fauci said last week that he isn't starting from scratch because there is plenty of activity going on in distribution, backing up the president and his administration on the matter. but the biden administration obviously continuing the narrative. the ute indian tribe in utah didn't hold back on president biden's freeze on drilling on federal lands. the tribe said, quote: your order is a direct attack on our economy, sovereign ity and our right to -- sovereignty and our right to self-determination. indian lands are not federal public lands. any action on our lands and interests can only be taken

after effective tribal consultation. well, joining me now to take that up is former congressman from the great state of utah, and he is in full support of the ute tribe. jason chaffetz, also best selling author, fox business contributor and great american. his new book is "they never let a crisis go to waste: the truth about disaster liberalism." jason, good to have you with us. the ute -- >> thanks, lou. lou: the utes are not too pleased with this president. it's interesting to see. new mexico is upset, the ute tribe, and i'm sure that lots of others who aren't yet expressing themselves are just as upset and concerned as are they. your reaction. you support the tribe. tell us why. >> oh, i'm with the utes on this. it's going to affect more than just the ute indian tribe here in utah. you've got to understand, out

west many of our states, more than 50% of our state is owned by the federal government. you look at nevada, you look at new mexico, a lot of these other states. if you don't have oil and gas production on these -- and you aren't able to continue to drill and survey and do those types of things, thousands upon thousands of people go out of work. you combine that with canceling the keystone pipeline, and suddenly you have all these unions that are out there championing joe biden. and then on day one, hours into his presidency, cancels the keystone pipeline. then the unions say, oh, well, that was a bad idea. what did they think was going to happen, lou? joe biden is devastating the economy, laying off the people by the tens of thousands. and it is so wrong for america. lou: so wrong, and we're not even a full week in, jason. not even a full week in. >> i know. lou: and he is delivering everything he said and,

actually, a little more. and meanwhile, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are doing their worst as usual, they're rolling out with mitch mcconnell's -- [laughter] compliance and complicity another farcical sham of an impeachment against the former president. now, somebody has to get smart enough in the democratic party to come up with a rationale that makes any sense at all to the american people that you somehow find in the constitution anything that is remotely a power to remove a person from an office that he has just left. this is just ignorance, it's absurdity, it is, it's mind-numbing. your thoughts. >> well, the chief justice of the supreme court is not going to preside over this because -- [laughter] with a remedy, if he is found guilty, is to kick him out of office. well, he's no longer the

president of the united states, for goodness sakes. and you know what, lou? president democrats had something that president trump had said that directed or encouraged or propelled people to break the law, they would have quoted it. but they don't have have such a quote because donald trump said, didn't say such a thing. so democrats, i don't know what they're doing, but, america, if you voted for it, this is what you get. they're not going to move forward nominations. they're not going to move forward on a lot of other things. and the last thing i would add, lou, it's time for mitch mcconnell to pass the baton to a new generation of leadership until the republicans change the senior leadership there in the united states senate, i think they're going to continue to struggle to win the messaging war that they need to win. lou: well, think about this, i mean, you've got thune, roy blunt who has lapses in which he is absolutely cogent and makes some sense occasionally are unlike thune and barrasso and

the rest. i mean, this is ugly and awful to watch. mitch mcconnell, i can't understand why the state of kentucky doesn't impeach him. recall him. it's just -- he is a vicious, nasty old s.o.b., isn't he? >> well, being in the minority is going to be a whole lot different than being in the majority where you can control the lever ares of the senate. -- levers of the senate. i applaud mitch mcconnell for what he was able to do with justices and judges. i think that was laudable. but now it's a totally different game in the united states senate. of you have to convince people republicans and conservatives have the right ideas for america. you need youth and energy and excitement. i don't want see that from mitch mcconnell, with all due respect. but there is a younger generation and some good conservatives that i think would take that helm and would make a difference in contrasting against schumer, pelosi and biden. talk about old, tired and no new

messaging. those three are the epitome of that. republicans need -- [inaudible] to lead in the senate. lou: but you say what you want to about them, and i do often on this broadcast. at least schumer and pelosi have been amazingly effective with the same tired act for almost, well, almost six years. and that is they're going after donald trump again. we now know that in 2016 it was hillary clinton's idea to hatch up a russian collusion narrative that became effectively a strategy against this president by the radical dems and the deep state for the entire course of president trump's administration. they -- just one thing, they never, ever once produced any evidence whatsoever that president trump had, was guilty of a single charge they leveled

against him. it's absolutely disgusting. and the national left-wing media, they just say that's fine, that's just the radical dems. that's what they do. they destroy people. and half the country sits there and says, yeah, that's fine with us. we're radical dems, and donald trump had an unpleasant way about him when talking about some issues. and so, you know, there are a lot of white suburban women out there wondering just exactly what they did already in the first not even week of the administration. talk about the prospect of remorse at buying into that nonsense. i can't imagine the depth of it. >> yeah. you know, democrats are always playing offense. and democrats -- republicans just kind of sit back and take it. then when they have a chance to play offense, they usually don't. they usually try to be democratic-light. play it nice, let's make sure

everybody feels good and everybody has the proper cake. follow donald trump's lead. stand for a policy, stand for a position and then go make the argument for it and make it happen. and i don't see that happening right now. democrats are going to overstep, they're going to go to this socialist type of agenda. it's already happening. and there are literally tonight thousands -- well, there are thousands of people looking at their spouse tonight and just thinking i lost my job. right when everything was actually going pretty well. that's because of joe biden, kamala harris and the democrats. it's the only thing that they can look to. if they'd kept donald trump, we wouldn't be going through this. lou: well, that's absolutely true. it also is true, is it not, that if the dems continue with this impeachment against a man which, again, it's just a fraud against reason and law and the constitution to proceed against

him. it's persecution just like it's been for the past four and a half years. so what should republicans do? and i mean real republicans, not the rinos, because they're going to be cheering. >> right. lou: what is their response? to leave the party? >> i think first and -- no. i think first and foremost you have to challenge the entire idea of the authenticity of trying to have an impeachment trial for something where the person is no longer in office. finish there are those of us that believe that it's unconstitutional to impeach somebody who's no longer in office. you just i saw the supreme court kick out cases about the emoluments clause because it's a moot point, they said. the president is no longer in office. follow the supreme court's lead are. that will ultimately come down to a vote on the floor of the united states senate, and every single one of those republicans and thoughtful democrats ought to look at that real carefully because it is a dangerous precedent to say that you can use as political retribution the

idea of impeaching somebody after they've left office. lou: well, some of them are even saying that you can impeach somebody -- that is remove from office -- people who don't even hold the office. i mean, that's how brilliant they, that's the level of intelligence and the viciousness of what is going on right now. but the federal judiciary has proved itself to be as politically corrupt as many of the executive departments. why would anyone think they're going to have a fair and reasonable hearing by a federal judge? and the supreme court turned down two opportunities to deal with fraud and what is obviously up constitutional acts in at least -- unconstitutional acts in at least two cases. i don't know if it would have changed the come of the election -- outcome of the election, but they certainly created hell by being such cowards. >> well, i do wish the judiciary had actually heard some of these

cases. but in the case of impeachment, lou, the judiciary's not going to touch this. they're going to leave it entirely to the united states -- lou: well, then, what to we -- >> judge roberts isn't even going to show up. so, i mean, that's how much they think of the process. lou: well, it says right there in the old constitution he has to show up. i didn't know that it was one of those volitional matters. but there's a lot about the last year finish. >> well, the president's not even in office. he's not even in office so justice roberts doesn't need to show up. lou: it's good enough for half of america. i'm start to think that half of america shouldn't show up for the republican party, because they are sitting there just watching this unfold, and mitch mcconnell is cheering it on and leading it on. and i think that he should, let's put it this way, follow your good counsel and move on. may i put it that way? move on? is that accurate?

>> very nice. very nice. yes, that was fair. lou: thank you very much. >> thanks, lou. lou: high praise coming from you, jason. i appreciate it. jason chaffetz, always giving me good counsel on civility. up next, red storm rising. china increases its aggression during the first week of the biden administration. we thought they were pallings. -- pals. will we see more of this over the next four years? gordon chang with us next. we'll be right back, please stay with us.

♪ ♪ lou: taiwan knows that elections have consequences. all they have to do is look up to the sky. president joe biden in office as china now sends bomber aircraft and fighter jets into taiwan's air space. meanwhile, xi jinping is warning in a virtual davos, warning about a new kohl war with the united states.

cold war. correspondent benjamin hall with the report. >> reporter: lou, it hasn't taken long for china to flex their muscles. they want to know what they can get away with with the biden administration. we saw it over the weekend as china ramped up pressure on taiwan sending a large number of fighter jets towards the island are, 15 on sunday, just a day after 12 other planes, including nuclear-capable bombers, also went into the area. this mock attack prompted the biden administration first public remarks on its relationship with taipei. the state department saying: we urge beijing to cease its military, diplomatic and economic pressure against taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with taiwan's democratically-elected representatives. the uss theodore roosevelt entered the south china sea. it's not only the china/taiwan tensions, it's also control over those shipping lanes.

china has called for a reset in u.s./china ties under biden, and on thursday they warned the u.s. to, quote, cautiously handle taiwan issues to prevent harm to u.s./china relations. president trump was a major supporter of taiwan. he old them billions of dollars -- sold them billions of dollars in weapons. the big question for china is how far the biden administration will go to defend the island. president xi jinping urged global leaders to avoid a new cold war. he took a veiled swipe at president trump saying arrogant isolationism would always fail, and he also said the g20 needed to play a bigger role in the world with china at its center, the macroeconomics need to be rejigged in the age of the pandemic, unlikely to happen given that china has co-opted global bodies in the past, and there's been a lot of create similar of -- criticism of that. lou? lou: thank you very much, indeed.

benjamin hall. joining us now is gordon chang, columnist, author and great american. gordon, thanks for being with us, and let's start from the warning -- with the warning from xi jinping at the virtual davos conference, which sounds like an improvement on the real conference, about the prospects of a cold war with the united states. >> well, certainly if there's a cold war, it's because of china. in may 2019 people's daily, the most authoritative publication in china, declared a, quote-unquote, peoples war against the united states. and that was in conjunction with a flurry of very hostile propaganda pieces. you know, lou, this is just ridiculous. xi jinping can go to davos and say all these things, but he's the cause of the world's problems right now. lou: indeed. and they're huge problems, over 400,000 americans dead. 25 million americans infected with the virus. there's been no response.

in point of fact, shi gin e ping had the opportunity to warn the world of the danger, had the opportunity to be transparent and is still to this day hiding from the w.h.o. and u.s. and european doctors rather than let them into that wuhan laboratory that they say had nothing to do with it. it's outrageous. everyone knows what happened, and we know who directed it. what should we do about it? is there anything that we can do about it? >> well, first of all, we shouldn't be rejoining the world health organization because the w.h.o. senior leadership actually propagatedded china's narratives on con dangerousness -- contagiousness. doctors knew it was highly contagious, but nonetheless the w.h. o. told the world, no, it's not transmissable. and also the w.h.o. helped other chinese narratives. for instance, they tried to

prevent countries from imposing travel restrictions and quarantines on arrivals from china which is what caused this. so clearly we shouldn't be rejoining the w.h.o.. lou: rejoining it, as it were. let's turn to the taiwanese and violation by the chinese of the taiwanese air space. 27 aircraft over two days, successive days. this is really quite a statement. joe biden was supposed to be china. president biden is not that -- china joe. president biden is not that, obviously, because xi jinping is really pushing the limits here. >> yes. and in asia and in the united states. china's aerial maneuvers are being said are a challenge to the biden administration. remember, china tested the administrations of george w. bush and barack obama in their early months with military provocations. they didn't test president trump

during his term because i think that they were afraid of him. but clearly, they're not afraid of joe biden. and so that's why we're seeing, you know, all this chinese language about going to war, mass mobilization of the chinese people and, of course, these aerial maneuvers. lou: gordon chang, always good to have you with us, thanks. we'll be right back. rinos running scared, that's next. ♪ ♪

lou: breaking news now, president trs not considering the launch of a third party, but he is, apparently, compiling a list of rinos that he will challenge in the next election cycle. former trump campaign adviser jason miller saying the former president's focus is now winning back the house and senate in 2022. the president also reportedly working to defeat rinos who opposed the trump agenda including house rin os liz cheney and tim rice, georgia's governor brian kemp, alaska's rino senator lisa murkowski. also breaking tonight, president joe biden rode into the white house with the help of a record amount of dark money. according to a report from bloomberg, candidate biden received $45 million -- 145 million from anonymous donors, more than five times the amount of dark money received by president trump.

also breaking tonight, senator rand paul tore into disney/abc's george stephanopoulos over how conservatives are treated by the national left-wing media when they questioned the possibility of election fraud. >> i'm not willing just to sit here and say, oh, everybody on the republican side is a liar and there is no fraud. no, there were lots of problems, and there were secretaries of state who illegally changed the law, and that needs to be fixed. and i'm going to work hard to fix it, and i won't be cowed by people saying, oh, you're a liar. that that's the problem with the media today. all republicans are liars and everything you say is a lie. there are two sides to every story. of don't insert yourself into the story to say we're all liars -- >> there are not -- lou: our next guest one of the first house repalins to call for liz -- republicans to call for liz they anyone to lose her leadership post -- liz cheney -- after he voted to impeach

president trump. joining us tonight is congressman matt rosen dale of montana. congressman, good to have you with us on the broadcast. let's start with, first of all, the number of rinos in your party. they're really creating some very big issues now. they've actually been creating them for some time, but now it's all clear and in the open. where is your party headed? >> oh, i think we're headed in a good direction, lou. you saw we had 197 of the republicans in the house that voted against the impeachment. the only problem that we ran into was the conference chair or. not only voted to support the impeachment, but she released her information the night before so that her statement could carry the weight of the conference chair. and democrats were able to use it all the following day during the impeachment debate, if you will, on the floor, and she brought just a few -- not very many, but she brought a few members with her.

this is exactly why i'm calling for her to step down. not because necessarily that she voted to support impeachment, but she released the information the day before, she did it without consultation of leadership nor the conference, and in which case she ignored the intent of the rules of the conference, and she weakened the conference at a critical time clearly just to benefit her own political interests. lou: is it your judgment that more than half the conference want her out? >> oh, i think we are in very good shape to have liz cheney removed as conference chair. lou: so why not get a vote and be done with it? why isn't there a vote? why is your leadership trying to peddle all sorts of, i think, incredibly considered nonsense for public consumption moving from -- well, your answer first.

>> yeah, sure. so what we've done is nancy pelosi has made it very difficult for us to get any kind of cohesive and consistent schedule here in the nation's capitol. so she tells us that we're going to be meeting, and then within 24, 48 hours' notice she tells everybody that we're not going to be meeting, and because of that we've got members who are traveling all over the country. it's been really, really difficult to bring them back together again. i am looking forward to and had leader mccarthy have a conference call with the freshmen this weekend where he said that we would be coming together in person to have a special conference so that we could absolutely resolve this matter. lou: so, i mean, it's really very stunning9 that the leadership of your conference does not want her removed despite the fact she voted to impeach the president of the united states, that somehow you

can't convene in order to take a vote, and i'm not exactly sure where the party led by, well, the party and your conference stand on a host of issues. kevin mccarthy has moved to a place i don't quite recognize. it's new ground for him. and it's got to be surprising a lot of people including his constituents. >> welsh he's also calling for -- well, he's also calling for liz cheney to, answer questions as well and has said that she has a lot of questions, but that's she's going to have to answer up for. i will tell you this, regardless of what happens to the leadership of the republican party, the republican party are the republicans across our nation. it's the central committees, it's the volunteers, it's the folks that put signs in the ground and make phone calls. you know that, lou. and so just because you proclaim yourself as a leader of the party does not mean in that you inherit that support. and so what you're going to see is leaders will rise up, and we
