time we have left tonight. be sure to check out my book. folks, the illicit scheme to clear donald trump. have a great weekend and a happy new year. ♪ >> i'm jason chaffetz in for laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" ." a man is a suspected of murdering a california state officer and is behind bars. plus a california mirror insisting she did the right thing when she tipped off illegal immigrants about an i.c.e. raid. and trump agenda about impeachment, what are schools teaching our children? we will go over the top politically biased courses of the years. but first. we begin with the fox news alert. investigators say more arrests could come in connection with the murder of a california

policeman on christmas night. today, after a two day long manhunt, police arrested gustavo perez arriaga, an illegal immigrant who should have been on the i.c.e. radar with his two prior dui arrest but he wasn't. officials say was a lone gunman but five other men were helping him evade arrest and escape to mexico. officer ronil singh's brother was overcome with emotion on the news of the arrest. >> please bear with me, this is not easy for me. ronil singh was my older brother. yes, he's not coming back. but there is a lot of people out there that misses him. and a lot of law enforcement people that i don't know who worked days and nights to make

this happen, i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. >> jason: god bless him, that's hard to watch. in moments i will speak exclusively with stanislaus county sheriff adam christianson about the arrest of six illegals in connection with the murder of officer singh. and california congressman devin nunes is also here exclusively to talk about the case in the push to bands thanks ray city is. but we begin with jonathan hunt live in our west coast newsroom tonight with breaking new details about the suspected cop killer. jonathan? >> good evening. the arrest of the alleged killer of officer ronil singh just 48 hours after the 33-year-old, who leaves behind his wife and 5-month-old son was gunned down, as you just saw, his fame families anguish is heartbreakingly clear today. >> i was waiting for this to happen. i'd like to think you for

working day and night to make this happen. >> the suspect, gustavo perez arriaga was in the u.s. illegally, and the kern county sheriff today angrily denounced california's so-called sanctuary laws, which the sheriff's said prevented perez arriaga for being deported for previous dui convictions. >> when you tie our hands and don't allow us to work with our federal partners and communicate with our federal partners about people that commit crimes who are in this country illegally, we will have incidents like thi this. >> officer singh was shot dead around 1:00 a.m. wednesday morning after stopping a driver on suspicion of dui. moments later, he radioed, shots fired, i've been hit. he was a legal immigrant who came to the u.s. from fiji where he was born. he studied criminal justice once he got here and spent 12 years

in law enforcement, seven of those with the newman police department. he even took and paid for extra english lessons to make himself better understood by his colleagues. the newman police department, by the way, jason, has just 12 officers, a close knit family in the words of the police chief. and a family that will clearly never forget ronil singh. >> jason: thank you. joining me now is stanislaus county sheriff adam christiansen. thank you for joining us, a very difficult time for the law enforcement community and obviously, officer singh's family. tell me what the atmosphere is like in that community? >> thank you congressman for having me on the show. i appreciate the opportunity. the family is devastated and that's clearly self-evident, not only at the original press conference but the one that we

put together today. they are heartbroken. they are struggling. this is a very painful experience, not only for the family but for the community of newman and the police department. in the history of this organization, as long as it has existed, they have never suffered a line of duty death. >> jason: it sheriff, between stanislaus county in kern county sheriff, and i'm sure lots of other law enforcement, it was impressive how quickly you were able to apprehend the alleged perpetrator. can you tell us any more details about how you were able to find him so quickly? that was roughly 200 miles south of where this murder took place. >> in one word, relationships get things done. i have a strong relationship with not only our federal law enforcement partners but state and local law enforcement, and my colleague, sheriff dona youngblood. we used a variety of tools and

techniques to track the suspect. we were never more than a step behind. we had multiple investigative leads and multiple teams, everybody was out looking for this individual. when we finally tracked him to a residence in bakersfield in kern county, i called my colleague sheriff donna youngblood and said, i need your help. immediately we were provided with the resources we needed to lock that residence down and execute a search warrant, subsequently finding and arresting our suspect. >> jason: was there any resistance at all when you went to arrest him? >> in the face of overwhelming odds and a very highly trained, well executed tactical team? no. he immediately gave up. >> jason: now there were other arrests in connection with this. what are those charges and why were these people are arrested, and are there more that will potentially be arrested?

>> at the moment, the number is seven and they are primarily family members and associates, all of whom were actively engaged in aiding and abetting this criminal fugitive. they did their best to throw us off the trail that we are smarter than that. they went to jail. as i promised in the first press conference, i gave -- when i said to the suspect, this is your time to surrender peacefully and bring this to an end. but i also committed that anyone who helped him would go to jail. coincidentally, all seven of these folks -- >> jason: i was going to say, are they here illegally? >> yes they are congressman. >> jason: explained to us the absurdity of what's going on in california, can i.c.e. even be told that these others are in custody? >> no, based on their charges and criminal histories, we haven't dug into all of them

yet. at this point i can't honor the detainers because of the federal courts ruling on fourth amendment violations, nor can i communicate with i.c.e. about their custody status. the one how -- i don't understand how that is palatable. we are talking about the criminal elements. this is not the first time that this has happened, where you have had somebody who was accused of something very serious, but how devastating and how often does it happen? it must be daily if not hourly that this goes on in california. >> it happens frequently. let me see if i can explain it as simply as i can for your viewing audience. the idea behind it -- and first of all, i'm not against lawful, legal immigration to this community. we are an agricultural community with a large population that serves in that economy. the idea behind this policy, these laws, was because there is

a belief that people who don't trust law enforcement, and they will come forward to tell us about being a victim of crime because they are afraid that we will deport them. absolutely not true. local law enforcement doesn't engage in the enforcement of federal immigration law. but by doing this you have now created sanctuary for criminals. people who are here illegally, victimizing and exploiting others. there is a category of crimes that below a certain threshold -- so anything serious or violent, we can communicate. anything below that like dui, we are prohibited statutorily from communicating with our law enforcement partners, with i.c.e. >> jason: even if they've been previously deported? is that not -- >> that's correc correct. >> jason: i want to talk about this quote from the mayor of oakland which i just find

unbelievable at this point. i have no regrets, none. more time goes by, the more certain i feel that i did the right thing in standing up for our community. and pointing out that our values are not aligned with our laws. now this is a more recent quote, but she was talking about, not this particular case but an older case and fairness here, but she and other public policy makers, like nancy pelosi who thinks that again, sanctuary is the right thing to do, you are about to retire and we can't thank you enough for your decades of service to your community and this country. >> thank you. >> jason: but what do you say to these policymakers that put these impediments on law enforcement? >> it's bad public safety policy and its dangerous and irresponsible, plain and simple. remember, we are not sweeping through churches, schools, convenience scores, court rooms.

i.c.e. is not in my county doing any of that, that's all something that is a story created by others. i.c.e. is looking for fugitives and criminals and that is all that they were doing. it used to be that they could come into my jail and collect or take possession of people who fell into that category who were fugitives and wanted. sp 54, in essence, restricted the ability to some degree of i.c.e. even having access to our facility. so we need to have a dialogue. we need to have a conversation, and i hope that that death of officer singh, which was needlessly and tragically gunned down, that his death is not in vain. if anything, hopefully this has a positive message and we can sit down and talk about some of these policies that restrict law enforcement's ability, our ability, to effectively protect

our communities. >> jason: sheriff, we thank you again for your decades of service and all the great work that men and women do there in stanislaus county, kern county and certainly in newman. i hope that singh understands -- tonight and tomorrow with the funeral but in the years to come, how much we care and love for them. in stanislaus county they have a website, they have an unofficial way to make a donation. don't get caught up in any scams. i donated some money today and i hope others will as well. thank you sheriff. joining me now is hector garza, border patrol agent and vice president for the national border patrol council and allen or, immigration attorney and vice president of the immigration lawyers association, joining me here in new york. we thank you gentlemen, for being here. we watched the story, and the discussion still does gravitate -- i saw you take an emotional pause here, but at the

same time these sanctuary laws, why can't we have local law enforcement communicating with i.c.e.? the federal immigration officers? >> first of all, my heart goes out to the singh family and the 5-year-old son lost his father, that's a tragedy. but if we look overall at all violent crimes, immigrants are much less likely than citizens to do that as a starting point. >> jason: but that's -- this guy was pulled over twice for a dui and he still here in the united states. >> so part of that says what are california's rules in regards to dui? that's a local issue. the feds can't do their job. >> the feds have rated many courtrooms, many classrooms in california and new york city and most of the sanctuary cities are their main area of focus.

every day you hear 60 or 70 people being deported but the problem is, there is not a strategy for implementation. with 11 million people here who are undocumented, you can't spend your time trying to get everybody. >> jason: hector, you are down on the border and that you are a border patrol agent, we can't thank you enough for the work you do. but what's the reality of what's coming across the border? >> it's no secret, our border patrol agents apprehend murderers and every day. these are people coming across the country illegally and those are only the ones that we can catch. there are a lot that can get away. we heard the argument before that american citizens commit more crimes than illegal aliens. i don't know if that's true but those illegal aliens committing crimes in this country shouldn't even be here. we have a long list of angel moms that have been affected by

people that have committed murderers and other serious crimes. we need to secure the border and make sure that our congressmen and congresswomen do their job and find that wall and fund border security. >> jason: hector garza and his colleagues apprehended some 60,000 people, 60,000 trying to cross the border illegally, just last month. i have to tell you, when i look at all the impediments that the democrats try to put up for federal law enforcement to go after the criminal element, the number that stood out to me in the obama years is that there were 80,000 people that were here illegally, they got caught doing something, and were convicted and just released out in the state, into the united states, as opposed to being deported. should these people who are here and commit crimes, should 100% of them be deported? >> 100%, let's talk about, can

we deport all of them? >> jason: i gave you the first question. my first question was, the criminal element. >> is jaywalking a criminal element? dui? in california it wasn't, or that person would have been deported. >> jason: this police officer just died and he was pulling this guy over for the third time and he knew after three he would be in a lot more trouble. >> we don't know that he knew that or not, but it's been a republican congress, it's a republican white house. where is immigration law? where is enforcement coming in? >> if they put -- they can't even communicate. they put a detainer, not even two weeks earlier. >> if these people have been here -- so you are telling me now that it's a local state enforcement job to do a federal program? >> i want to be able to communicate with the sheriff.

let's start with everybody and then we will work backward. >> that's where we are working now, there is a 60,000 case backlog in the immigration court which we won't get to. we only have in our budget to deport 400,000 so how does that address 11,000 people? >> i can tell you this, this is the dirty little secret the democrats do. they don't find enough beds or dollars to deport people, and if donald trump wants $5 billion for the wall, add another $5 billion to deport all the people in the criminal element. hector, what do you folks go through when you have somebody who's coming across? how do you arrest someone who's already been deported? >> without proper physical barriers or without proper manpower, we can be deporting people every day but they just keep coming back. that's what happens in laredo. laredo is one of the areas where these criminal aliens that just got out of jail will be deported through. once we deport them through

laredo, they come right back to the united states. the agents arrest as many as we can but we can't arrest everybody. that's why we need those physical barriers and that infrastructure and that manpower. without that funding and that border wall it will be impossible for us to keep that community safe. this is not about politics, this is about the safety of american people and even the safety of the people being victimized by those drug cartels. >> hector, what else do you see coming across the border? i've been down there multiple times, chasing guys on atvs and getting up the hill sides and finding all kinds of drugs. but it's not just human trafficking, its drugs and all these other things as well. >> we are talking about math, liquid cocaine and fentanyl. these are affecting our kids and our communities in our schools. the other aspect of it,

dangerous drugs that are affecting our neighbors, our schools and all the people that we know and that's what we need to get through with border security. it's not about politics, it's about the safety of the american people. >> jason: i want to get your reaction to another story tonight. there are reports that a new caravan of 15,000 migrants is on its way north from -- of the groups as its destination is mexico but many are likely to come further north into the united states. alan, i want to get your reaction to that. when you hear an actual border patrol agent saying he wants a physical wall, set donald trump and the politics aside. why don't we do with the border patrol agents wants to help them do their job when you see these insurgents trying to come across the board. >> that's a very same reason we don't have more border patrol officers, we don't have the funding. let's talk about that for a second. the fences don't keep the dogs out, the drugs are coming in via

airplane and coming from china and on boats so that's a false argument to talk about. >> jason: there are lots of holes in this ship, i get that. >> and no one talks about the over stays -- >> you have to follow me on twitter, i've been talking about that for eight or nine years. >> right now in this conversation we say the biggest threat is from the southern border, and it's not. >> all right. >> women and children coming to the border are not the threat. the 15,000 that say they are on their way here -- >> but they go in with the bad ones, and you don't know that. >> something that's very interesting is that a lot of these people are coming from central america and they are coming from very remote villages and towns where there's not even a criminal record database. so these people could have committed some very serious crimes in their countries and now they are coming across asking for asylum which are not even legitimate claims. then they commit crimes in the united states and that's an

aspect of it. there are drugs that come through planes and buses and you name it, but just because there are drugs coming in other ways doesn't mean that we don't try to stop it and do something at the u.s. border. we have to do something about it, if not, people will lose their lives. >> i went to the detention facility there in arizona and i have to tell you, it's not just about central and south america, they had detained people for more than 150 countries. there was an ultralight that just came across with some chinese nationals. so it's not just trying to impeach some mother and some daughter, there are lots of elements there that need to be taken care of. it's a good vibrant debate and i'm sure he will continue. i think you gentlemen for what you are doing. coming up, the california sheriff i spoke to just moments ago is blaming sanctuary laws for the death of a beloved police officer. what is being done to untie the hands of law enforcement across the state. congressman devin nunes joins me next. >> my point is, why are we

providing sanctuary for criminals? gang members? it's a conversation that we need to have.

>> is not coming back. there's a lot of people out there that misses him. >> jason: back now to the top story, and it's been very different if not for politics. >> there is a illegal alien with prior criminal activity that should have been reported to

i.c.e. law enforcement was prohibited because of sanctuary laws, and that led to the encounter with officers singh. i'm suggesting that the outcome could have been different if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited, or had their hands tied because of political interference. >> jason: here for a a "the ingraham angle" exclusive, congressman, thanks for joining us. and, the communities are so tightly knit. lots of farming activity going on here.

and garcia was accused and remind viewers what happened less than two weeks ago. >> that was only 12 officers, and this was really a tragedy for the valley. i know you have been here many times. and it's not exactly the way that we want to spend their holidays. so right before christmas, we had a very similar situation where there was someone in the country illegally and had been deported twice, and had been arrested just prior and was released because of the sanctuary city law. they couldn't hold it garcia who went on a rampage for over 24 hours. killed two people, possibly a third. we don't know because i think there is still one in critical condition in the hospital.

because this person, garcia went around the entire county to several communities in which shooting people at random. stealing vehicles and finally caused a major traffic accident, and the car exploded, and he is now no longer a part of the planet. the bad part is, there are two innocents that lost their lives, just like what we experience the last couple days just north of here in newman, where he we had a police officer that was killed. it was a horrible situation, and the last election in california, these policies were rewarded at the ballot box. so the democrats who condone these policies probably had their biggest election win ever. so something is not making sense. i don't know if people just aren't getting the right information, that you would think at some point politicians would be held accountable for their actions or inactions, and in this case it's pretty darn

clear that these sanctuary city policies are leading to innocent getting murdered. >> jason: while that's the situation with garcia, the one that happened less than two weeks ago, essentially in your backyard. this person i believe had been incarcerated before and served time for armed robbery, he had been deported twice, and still he is in the hands of law enforcement, but no communication and he's able to come across the border. that's what's so infuriating because both of these cases, at least on the surface or the information we had now come up both of these were preventable, where they not? >> no question. this is a situation where it's even worse, the situation here in our home county is that this person had actually been deported twice. so that's the whole challenge here, that things aren't adding up. a lot of the california border actually has fencing on it. so the key here is, what we have

been trying to do in congress and with the president has been trying to do, i think a very logical solution which is, let's take the areas that we have some fencing which isn't quite working, let's build a wall, one that actually works, and those populated areas and let's make sure we get those secure, first. and those other areas you may not need a wall or fencing. at the same time the president was very reasonable and was able to solve the daca problem. we had a vote in congress where republicans voted to build a wall and reform daca, take care of the kids through no part of their own. we didn't get one democratic vote. every democrat in the state of california voted against this law. those are for the young people who live here that would have been made legal, but for some reason, people here in california and i think all over the country don't realize, a sensible solution was put on the table. border security put in for daca,

a permit system for people that are here to do jobs that aren't going to be filled for american americans. sensible solutions that just aren't being communicated to the people and i think they are making some uninformed decisions. >> jason: it's amazing that daca was put on the table and democrats reject that. but i want to player clip, that seems that democrats are against this because donald trump is for it. it doesn't seems too long ago that chuck schumer actually believed in a border wall, watch this. >> the american people need to know that because of our efforts in congress, our border is far more secure today than it was when we began debating comprehensive reform in 2005. between 2005 and 2009, a vast amount of progress has been made on our borders and ports of entry. the progress includes 9,000 new border patrol field agents in the last four years. construction of a 630-mile

border fence, or 630 miles of border fence that create a significant barrier to illegal immigration on a southern land border. >> there you go, i could play that all day long. he voted to authorize it, but now, he won't vote in favor of actually funding it. now, the we only have a minute left but nancy pelosi is in hawaii. maxine waters is off vacationing in the bahamas. you are in your district, kevin mccarthy who is from the bakersfield area is at home in his district. how does the president come to a resolution when nancy pelosi is working on her hula as opposed to actually negotiating something that's reasonable? where does this go? >> i'm right here in tulare tulare county, and it doesn't get better than this, right here in the agriculture museum. if i was in hawaii right now, i

would be getting killed if kevin mccarthy, the new republican leader, was in hawaii right now. he would be getting crushed. you have the president and washington, d.c., each waiting to cut a deal and they are on vacation. they never wanted to shut down and the second that donald trump said i will own the shutdown, or i'll shut it down, they said, i'll get out of town and go to hawaii. you watch on january 3rd when there's a new congress, they will try to pass something and this will just continue. in the meantime, problems are not being solved. the good news is about all this, now they will have a responsibility to put legislation on the floor that will fix these problems that they have been unwilling to vote with republicans or support the president's agenda to fix. >> jason: congressman, thanks for your great work. i do think the democrats want the issue more than they want to solve the problem. i also wished the senate would

vote on the bill the house passed. remember the house to pass the $5 billion, it's the senate that's not doing it. and i plead with the majority leader in the senate, put them on the record, make them actually vote. see who actually stands for the border and who doesn't. you can only do that by actually holding a vote because, the end of the 115th congress is about to expire on january 3rd. thank you for joining us tonight and spending some time with us, we do appreciate it. up next, a ridiculous new expose on the horrible conditions for the prisoners at guantanamo gu. did they forget these are terrorists? reality check, next. >> admiral john ring is the commander here and an nbc exclusive he says, the classified attention camp is in rough shape. managing my type 2 diabetes wasn't my top priority.

until i held her. i found my tresiba® reason. now i'm doing more to lower my a1c. once daily tresiba® controls blood sugar for 24 hours for powerful a1c reduction. tresiba® is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. don't use tresiba® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. don't share needles or insulin pens. don't reuse needles. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which may cause dizziness, sweating, confusion, and headache. check your blood sugar. low blood sugar can be serious and may be life-threatening. injection site reactions may occur. tell your prescriber about all medicines you take and all your medical conditions. taking tzds with insulins like tresiba®

may cause serious side effects like heart failure. your insulin dose shouldn't be changed without asking your prescriber. get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing, fast heartbeat, extreme drowsiness, swelling of your face, tongue or throat, dizziness or confusion. i found my tresiba® reason. find yours. ask your diabetes care specialist about tresiba®. >> at the pentagon wants $69 million for a new detention camp. but so far, congress has said n no. the biggest is dealing with aging detainees. the oldest is 71. another had his fifth back surgery and had to have his cell reconfigured to fit a hospital bed. >> jason: that's from nbc news on the plight of aging terrorists in guantanamo bay. they are really tugging at your heartstrings on that one, i know they are. joining me again is jonathan hunt with all the details. jonathan?

>> good evening again jason. the nbc report is based on an interview with the u.s. commander at guantanamo bay, rear admiral john ring, says he has orders from the pentagon to prepare for the camp to be open for another 25 years. the joint task force guantanamo mission is now 16 years old and according to reign, the structure of the military prison is failing fast. it's falling to the ground and deteriorating rapidly he told nbc news. 40 detainees that are left at guantanamo, the last transfer there at 2008, so they can no longer provide any useful battlefield intelligence, according to the rear admiral. the average age is 46 and the oldest is 71. medical needs are changing and becoming more demanding as the detainees agent, and ring, according to nbc, is worried that he doesn't have the funding to provide the necessary care. he told nbc "i'm the innkeeper.

i don't make laws. people in d.c. tell me when people are going away or people are coming in, and my job is to keep these folks comfortable, and safe. president obama of course wanted to shut down the facility and deflate, failed in that pledge, partly because of politics and partly because of the practicalities of finding a place to re-house the detainees which numbered more than 201 president obama took office. five members of the afghan taliban were released by president obama in 2014, in exchange for captured u.s. army sergeant bowe bergdahl. those five have now joined with the taliban calls its political office in the gulf state of cutter and are therefore among the taliban representatives at negotiating for peace in afghanistan. that is despite warnings from some analysts that as members of the tele- band old guard, they bring with them the same ultraconservative interpretation of islam that characterized the

taliban five-year rule of afghanistan, and provided shelter and a place to train for al qaeda, until the u.s.-led invasion after the 9/11 attacks. president trump has made no moves either to close or growth of population of guantanamo. rear admiral ring told nbc, he believes he could deal with 40 more detainees with his current staffing levels, and up to 160 more with more resources. but that would require congress to approve those millions of dollars in funding. jason? >> jason: jonathan, thank you. joining me now is dan bongino, a former secret service secret sd regarding rms, a foreign national and security policy analyst. i've been to guantanamo bay, and i've seen it. i was little concerned about what the admiral said when he said he needed to make sure everyone is comfortable. i don't think that's the number one issue, but these are not

prisoners, they are detainees. what is wrong with guantanamo bay? i fought against barack obama and his insistence that we closed it. i'm glad it's open. but what say you? >> so here is what is happening. you have a facility in cuba that housed a number of battleground detainees brought in mainly from afghanistan. these are guys that we picked up on the ground after 9/11. the last detainees came here in 2008. now as you heard in the report, it's now turning into a nursing home. the facility is a mess. there is no room for wheelchairs and so on and so forth. so the question is this. we can either sit here and complain and complain, or our commander-in-chief can make a decision. either funded as the admiral asked for or, bring these guys out, put them on trial, send them to federal prisons and, guess what?

the national security circles can't even recall the name from any of these unknown crazy detainees. meaning if john got he couldn't run away from federal prison, i don't care if these irrelevant old terrorists can do that either. but having said that, -- >> jason: you could have made that case when it first started, but not anymore. we have to have a policy to deal with enemy combatants. barack obama never had such a policy. but dan, what is your take on what we should do with guantanamo bay? >> there are two separate issues here. the first issue that the admiral brings up is a real one. if we are going to use guantanamo which is i think a perfectly viable, usable facility, we have to make sure and we can't have breaking infrastructure there. but with regards to the medical care and comfort? i don't get it. i don't care. that may sound harsh, and i'm sorry, i don't mean to offend

the cable news audience. but i literally, not figuratively, do not care a bit about the health or comfort of terrorists committed to the destruction of the united states and the murder of innocents. we have millions of people in this country who need back surgery, joint replacements, kidney replacements. money zero-sum, every dollar we send over there to take care of a murderer or terrorist is a dollar taken out of the health care system here that could be used to take care of a kid or someone elderly who has outlived their own fund. this is an outrageous argument. >> you may not care, i know you don't care and that's a fair point. but the u.s. flag, the u.s. constitution, they care. let me give you an example. you made the point -- >> i don't have 40 minutes to talk about this but, i have to tell you. i've been there and those conditions are not as bad. if they got a plumbing issue in camp seven, they have to deal with that. i do think congress should fund

it but we will continue the discussion. i've got to get your thoughts on another issue. the network is also under fire for a christmas story. the headline read "trump becomes the first president since 2002 not to visit troops in christmas time." the problem was, he was on his way and even after it was made public and was there visiting, nbc still didn't change the headline. it took two full days to admit they made a mistake, adding an editor's note saying, the article was in part correct but the situation changed and as a result the threat of this article is no longer correct, even if it was at the time. they could have taken down the article or change date, they waited a few days because i want to the maximum impact. but dan, i have to tell you, the president is taking all kind of heat for doing something that everyone hoped he would do which was visit the troops. >> this is a sensitive issue to me, i was a secret service agent and a lead advance agent for

president obama's trip to a war zone in afghanistan in 2010. now what most people don't know, and you wouldn't know unless you done that job specifically, these trips are planned out weeks if not months in advance, so it's ridiculous about the media and their absolute lack of ethics in this story, while they were writing that story, while some lunatic was typing that thing up, the trip was already being planned over in a war zone. but nobody takes them seriously. >> in all fairness, they could have written that story. but the moment that they knew it was not true and not accurate, they shouldn't have taken -- it is not offensive to put some criticism on nbc for waiting two full days? >> first of all, i don't speak for nbc. but if you make a mistake you should man up and retract. secondly, the president finally got off his couch after two years and visited our troops and combat zones. the guy that didn't go to the

world war ii memorial in france, the guy that would go to arlington, -- >> when the secret service tells you for security reasons that they can't go, the president doesn't go. speak out that's not what they told them. >> this is a president who does not care. >> there is a reason why -- >> and if he is going to sell some steak to the troops -- this is the disgrace of a president. >> there is a very fair question. are you proud of him? >> is that why you didn't endorse him in 2016? i mean, come on jason. >> you are way out of line. >> he makes bad decisions, and -- >> jason: you are way out of line. >> you are proud of donald trump and his actions?

he berates our allies -- >> jason: we have to go to commercial. coming up -- >> there you go. >> jason: you can't hijack -- i have to move on. coming up, college courses and impeaching the president. what are they teaching our children. the top politically biased college classes, coming up next.

>> jason: picture this. you are newly independent son or daughter is off to college, you are so proud they are going to get a great education. but you are nervous, and you are excited at the same time. then you get a call, and they call you about a new class that's called trump again the.

this is what they are teaching our children in college. there are so many politically biased courses that were taught this year. joining us now is the editor in chief of campus reform and commentator of run for -- they come up with a list of the most politically agree just biased courses of 2018 and i just told you about the trump-aganda course at the university of illinois. not a very respective university but, come on. there's also a harvard law class called, the trump trajectory, about impeachment in the trump era. maybe you can get a two for one at they are all about -- at san diego state university, they have a class called trump impeachment, removal or conviction. that's at the low, low price, in addition to the tuition you have to pay, $200.

it's a credit to students who want to protest brett kavanaugh in washington, d.c. this is where your tax dollars are going to work and funding. gentlemen, i appreciate you coming here. when you look at that list that was coming out, how can conservatives and right minded people, at that and say, this is perfectly -- this is what we should be educating our kids on. >> there are lots of questions being raised and discussed about the constitution and they should be discussed in college campuses. but, to have -- that's less about where we are politically. it's more about the importance of giving children open-minded conversation. these courses are probably not the best way, and, these are

issues that could be discussed in a more civil fashion. >> i saw your first reaction to this. >> while you can't have an open-minded conversation when you have a liberal bias on the college campus, which is what we cover with campus reform. you see all these courses, and every single day, they are telling us the bias and the hate for conservatives on college campuses. the bottom line is, if you are conservatives, you are not really walking on the college campuses. leasing kids with the pro life science getting beat up, we have professors, just because they don't have the political lien, they take their phones and crash their phones just because they are videotaping them. this college campus doesn't respect the first amendment. they are against freedom of speech. or you have to make 50,000 in speaking fees.

the battle of the day, when you talk about what happened to brett kavanaugh, when they were anti-due process, all of this started on college campuses. >> this is really important also because this is the time at which people's minds are being formed. so while i may be sympathetic and i may agree with the prospective these professors, i think there's something really important about how we educate children and the importance of making sure -- because of what we see in our political dialogue today all starts here. we are taking these classes and they grow up to be in organized politics. >> the beef that i have is, there is no balance and we are supposed to be teaching kids how to think. but that's not what's happening, we are giving them course credit to go down and protest the brett kavanaugh era. >> the reality is, people can protest all they want, but to

give people college credit for doing that -- >> and they lie about it. they try to pretend that it was only one professor. when we did the investigation we found that the president of the university, the chair, they had funding coming in from left-wing groups to fund the bus. this is a strategic method of the left, and another reason, jason, that we don't see a lot of the conservative ideology. make no mistake. i don't care if there are liberal professors on the college campus, but the job of college professors is to have the dialogue, mike, to keep both sides. but we can't do that if we only have one perspective. >> i only have about a minute left but i serve on the board of trustees, and there is a rigorous plan on going and looking at these college courses. they are necessarily spontaneous and i guess the route that i have is there are federal

dollars coming into many of these universities. >> i think that's true. i think the broader concern, we looked at -- we asked a lot of questions about how we are preparing this. but i think, the more important question here, is this question of thought and how we are thinking, and how we are teaching people to be confronte confronted? >> start teaching them to think. >> jason: they are not showing them the balance and that is the hard part. thank you gentlemen both, for being here. i do appreciate it. and it is a lot of money to send your kid to college, my wife julie and i know all about that. we will be right back with your last bite.
