and twitter. i'm watters and this is my world. [♪] judge jeanine: hello and welcome to "justice," i'm judge jeanine pirro. thanks for being with us tonight. thank you once again for make last week's show number one all weekend long, saturday day night, sunday day, night, thank you. we are talking live with former new york city mayor and attorney for the president, rudy giuliani. as well as mike huckabee, peter navarre so, dan bongino and kayleigh mac nanny. crowds what they are for a

vigil at a church for the victims of a mass shooting at a government building that left 12 people dead. the investigation is ongoing. if there are any updates we'll bring them to you in this hour. but now my opening statement. the reason that robert mueller spoke publicly this week is because he was more worried about his legacy than he was in protecting this country. this is counter to everything he was taught and supposedly stood for and is not only disappointing but politically damaging. mueller was charged with serving the united states of america and not his ego. but that is exactly how he'll now be remembered. mueller had a case of seller's remorse. when the seller regrets what he's already sold. it seems bob is afflicted with a serious case of remorse.

the original report didn't hurt trump enough. ask yourself one question. why after 10 weeks, after the special counsel report is submitted does mueller unilaterally decide to hold a press conference to say he's closing shop? and why does mueller do a jim comey and say i didn't charge but only because dot dot dot. he does it to rally the left because the mueller report didn't hurt enough. mind you, the report is the best evidence of the investigation. it is the investigation. there is no need to unilaterally emphasize or add to the document. not robert mueller. he decides to jump into the political fray just like his pal jim comey did. now the calls for impeachment

are echoing throughout congress. this was not the case when the report was committed. so mueller i imagine as the behest of the left gives them what they need to jump-start the calls for impeachment. but nothing has changed in the report. the only thing that changed is mueller decide something create chaos and havoc, as if two years investigating the president show no obstruction or collusion are not enough. but that's what mueller did. muddy up the waters and charge up the left. >> that investigation if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. judge jeanine: they never said that in the report. now mueller is adding, look, i am not confidence you didn't

commit a crime. that's sheer lunacy. i don't know a prosecutor in this country who ever said after a grand jury investigation i'm not sure he didn't commit a crime. you will either indict or you don't. you don't come out and say, you know, i'm not indicting him, but i'm telling you he ain't a good guy. every prosecutor knows if you don't indict someone, you stop there. so what was the point of the 400-plus report. it doesn't say i'm not confident you didn't commit a crime. so what's the end game. let's take a second to caulk about collusion. not the trump-russia collusion. but what about collusion between mueller and the democrats. the democrats don't have an independent thought other than

their hatred of donald trump. the mueller report didn't accomplish their goal. the democrats are desperate. they need mule tore shake -- they need mueller to shakes things up so they can rally. >> we did not make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. judge jeanine: why the heck not? what did you and your gang of trump hating, hillary-loving lawyers do for two years. he uses the excuse that the guidelines say you can't indict a sitting president. >> he stated three times that he was not say he without the,

opinion be he would have found obstruction. when we pressed him on it, he said his team was still formulating the explanation. judge jeanine: still formulating an explanation why you didn't reach a decision on obstruction? are you stupid? you had two years to think about that one. and he did not. instead he punted and now mueller wants to come out and say look, we never said he didn't, we simply couldn't make a decision because he's a sitting president. folks, that's baloney. what was the point of this investigation in the first place? what did you do for two years. you could have reached a conclusion without charge by simply stating your conclusion or opinion. and by the way, when did you know there was no collusion? did you know that before the mid terms? you could have shut the whole

thing down. but then again it was a major help to the democrats, wants it? and you are helping them yet again. let's recap. neither the president nor anyone on the trump campaign collude with russia. you conned make a decision on obstruction and the attorney general and deputy attorney general had to do so. so who the hell asked you to come out this week and muddy the waters the way jim comey did in 2016. i guess we have a competition between holier than thou cripple scoam comey and robert mueller. because that's what this is all about. let me know what you think on my facebook and twitter trash tag judge jeanine.

-- #judgejeanine. rudy giuliani joins me by phone. >> good evening. that was an excellent monologue. judge jeanine: when bar came out and told him what mueller told him specifically, we didn't reach a decision and basically says we didn't reach a decision and when said why, they were trying to couple with an answer, they didn't understand it. what were they talking about? do you know? >> i think i do. one of the things the media didn't cover, mueller issued a clarification of his statement saying he never told barr he based it on not being able to inkind the justice department rule. if you look at the report it says clearly he could not prove

that the president committed obstruction of justice. he did make kind of a decision. i can't decide whether he committed obstruction of justice. he wrote that. if i can't decide whether somebody committed a crime. that's called a declination. we don't write a clean bill of health and say there is no possibility you did it. i never remember ever doing that. judge jeanine: no one remembers that. no prosecutor i have known for 30 years. no one does that. he could have reached a conclusion. and bill barr says it's on the record what mueller said, that he wasn't going to let the olc

opinion affect whether he made a decision. but why didn't he make a conclusion? >> it was a dereliction of duty. why do you appoint an independent counsel, special counsel. they are supposed to make a decision. he made a decision about collusion, he couldn't make a decision about obstruction. i think he should return the money. if somebody appointed me as an investigator and i investigate and say i can't figure out the second one. they pay me $35 mill. i think we have to give $17 million back. judge jeanine: i think you should be able to get that money back because there is no reason for him to not make a decision. >> i think mueller has made a

complete fool out of himself. not more than comey -- imagine saying the report speaks for itself then speaking for nine minute and not saying anything except little hints to the fawning democrats who want some excuse to impeach, even though the president didn't do anything wrong. judge jeanine: what he did in the end. after the report came out he left the crumbs by not deciding on obstruction. but i want to go to a sound of actually bill barr talking about treason. this is not -- this is just a statement that he said. barr says the president has tweeted and said publicly that in some upper echelon comey and

mccabe committed treason. that wasn't by barr. that's a mistake on my card. barr answers, i as a lawyer interpret the word treason legally. you know the specific criteria for treason. i don't think it's implicated in the situation we have now. i'm jumping now to the counter investigation i will call it. cbs interviewed bar and barr already stated he doesn't believe these guys committed treason. he talks about the fact sometimes they look at effort through a bias prism and they don't realize they are biased. why is barr jumping to that conclusion so early in the investigation of the start of the whole russia-trump investigation? >> i can understand what he's saying. the reality is you don't want to overpromise, you don't want to

overstate. you don't want to make the same mistake they made presuming president trump is guilty of collusion. i think attorney general barrr is very upset by what they did, even if it didn't treason, it's perjury, suborning perjury. submitting false documents to the fisa courts. colluding with the ukraine to obtain dirty information on the trump campaign. there are so many crimes, you don't need treason. i think three or four of them will be indicted. how do you walk away from an affidavit which you say it's verified and steele is reliable when you have to know that he isn't. i can't imagine they won't be able to prove the people who signed that didn't know this guy was a total flake. judge jeanine: you and i both

know based upon the facts reported to you. inspector general, his report is coming out soon. why wait for the inspector general's report? i liken it to a report where there is no prosecutorial powers. so why wait for that report before they start a grand jury investigation of their own? >> i believe they have. the state attorney in connecticut has been investigating for two months. in utah they waited. i don't know why they would let an internal investigation take precedence over this. by's an honest guy who goes after republicans and democrats. maybe he can take a look at how joe biden's son got a $1.5

million investment in his private equity fund. if you want to look at something that's war think an investigation. it's worth investigating. i don't say he did anything wrong. he's presumed innocent, unlike our president who iser in presumed innocent. the media is covering it up. judge jeanine: all it takes is a strong attorney general who doesn't care about the media. >> they better get their stories straight. this guy is a lot smarter than comey and mueller combined. judge jeanine: i think you are right. >> and a lot more honest. that's not hard, but he's a very honest guy, bill barr.

judge jeanine: joining me, former arkansas governor, mike huckabee. now the democrat are running around saying it's time for impeachment 2020. i look at the mayor buttigieg and he's calling for impeachment. but it's bad for the democrats that it pretty much determines that the president gets elected again. and in the end it's the americans who get hurt if they try to do this. >> it will be destructive to the democrats if they pursue impeachment, but they seem hell bent on doing it. for two years the mueller investigation has been going on. for three years there have been accusations about trump and the russians. and they haven't found anything.

these are guys gathering up a fishing trip to go to the dead sea to see if they can couple with something. they will promise they will pull something out of there that will indict donald trump. this nonsense talk about impeachment, the only thing it will do is be an incredible distraction from any issue they will talk about in 2020. it will blow up in their face like an exploding cigar. i think nancy pelosi knows that but she can no longer herd this pile of democrat congressmen. judge jeanine: pelosi, if there is a fancy for impeachment and she is holding it back, she is a smart lady, whether you like her or not you have got to give her

credit. she knows the danger for the democrats. and the democrats don't have a policy, they don't have a theory, they don't have anything other than they hate donald trump. is she at risk of losing her speakership? >> i think she'll hold on to that like charlton heston said about his rival, they will take it from my cold, dead hand. the only other way is the republicans get the house back so we can get something done for this country. resolve immigration, deal with struck were with, secure our d deal wit with infrastructure. and get this country going again. you brought up something in the monologue that's powerful. all of this money and effort has

been made. they couple with nothing but a goose egg. the dogs have been digging in the yard and have yet to find a bone. at some point i feel for nancy pelosi. i do think she is smart. she knows better, she knows this is destructive to her party. you notice the president has never given her a nickname? judge jeanine: isn't that interesting. >> let me tell you why he doesn't. it's my theory. i can't prove this. the president may be watching and he'll say you are wrong. if he respects somebody, even if they are an adversary, he won't brand them. he likes a good conflict. but when people act petty and silly and do ridiculous things, then he brand them. the first thing the president can do to somebody is brand them, give them a name, crying

chuck or lyin''' ted. he has never done that to nancy pelosi because he respect her. judge jeanine: i'm talking tariffs yet when white who is trade advisor peter tha navarro joins us.

[♪] judge jeanine: as the crisis at the southern border worsens, the president has taken bold action against mexico, implementing a to begin on june 10. my next guest says mexico exports illegal aliens and it's time to tax them. peter navarro, thank you for being with us. >> good evening. before we start, from the white house and president trump, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of virginia beach at this time of trouble. as he said in his tweet, the federal government will do whatever we can to help them. judge jeanine: they are entitled to our prayers and our thoughts. i want to start the segment on what led to this idea of tariffs

on the imports. i understand the president for a time tried a lot of different diplomatic efforts. holding asylum seekers in mexico. he was talking about mexico holding people and not letting them come over the border. monitoring them. now we have the president threatening an escalation of tariffs beginning june 10 with 5% then going to october with up to 25%. how did we get there? >> we have an industry in mexico that's been growing for decade. mexico has been abusing this country for decade with the export of illegal aliens and drugs. you have a conveyer belt from the southern border of mexico up

to our border where on any given day there are 100,000 illegal aliens transiting along that conveyer belt. and congress has refused to act. mexicans agreed to taking some of the asylum seekers, but they reneged on that because they are only taking a small handful. the u.s. is bearing the entire burden. it's a threat to our national security and economy. we need to shift the cost burden to mexico so they will do what we are asking to do. it's a three-part plan we can walk through it if you like. judge jeanine: when you say you want to shift the burden to mexico i want you to listen to some sound from chuck grassley

where they believe the burned is being shift to the consumer. trade policy and border security are separate issues. this is a misuse of presidential tariff authority and counter to congressional intent. given chuck grassley is saying that, how do you guys fight that. >> we agree this issue with mexico is strictly an immigration and national security issue. tariffs are an appropriate response within the international authority powers act. the tariffs are a regulatory response to a crisis on our border, judge. what this will do is force the mexicans to bear the cost of not doing what they should be doing which is handling this crisis.

they will bear the cost with lower profits and fewer jobs. instead what they are doing now is making billions of dollars off this trade and illegal aliens and drugs which seems to be a partnership between the government and transnational drug cartels. the biggest thing with me is for them to take the asylum seekers on their own soil for two reasons. once the people in central america real. >> i they can't come here they won't be coming here. mexico has tougher laws to repatriate these illegal aliens back to central america. judge jeanine: is this a maneuver by the white house to try to get some of the manufacturing of cars back to the united states? >> zero, no. that's not the purpose of this.

this is a national security response to a horrible crisis. 300,000 people are in custody. we are at the brim. judge jeanine: stephanie hamill, my political panel are next. rooms into amazing deals. delegates, how do you vote? (wild cheering) (music plays) sample: yes... y-y-y-yes... yes... woman: that is freaky.

[♪] aishah: live from "america's news headquarters." i'm aishah hasnie. people are coming together to mourn following yesterday's deadly mass shooting at a municipal building in virginia beach. a prayer including a column reading of each of the 12 victims' names and a moment of silence. the victims include 11 city employees and one contractor. the short was killed in a shootout with police. severe flooding continues to playing people in the central

u.s. forcing vacking wases of 80 people. thousands of homes are under water in arkansas. officials are going door to door to warn residents to move to higher ground. i'm aishah hasnie. back to "justice with judge jeanine." [♪] judge jeanine: president trump dropping the tariff hammer on mexico in an effort to stop illegal immigration. joining me with reaction on that, stephanie hamel and chris hahn. let's talk about since we were just talking about trade and the tariff. one of the things that the president just tweeted tonight was when you are the piggy bank nation that foreign countries have been robbing and deceiving

for years, the word tariff is a beautiful word indeed. others must treat the united states fairly and with respect. we are no longer the fools of the past. let me start with you, chris. we have not been able to slow immigration. and just this week we had one day where a thousand people crossed the border. we had 100,000 in march, 100,000 in april. in one day, a thousand people are crossing. what is the problem with trying to in some way to force mexico to assist us to say you are the gateway to this country's immigration problem? >> i agree with senator grassley as rare as that might be. tariff policy and trade policy is different from immigration

policy. the president should send an enjoy down to mexico and get them to work on their side of the border to stop the flow coming through their country. tariffs will be known as the trump tax and it will hurt the economy. it's one thing it president has going for him going into 2020. judge jeanine: stephanie? >> what options do we have? we did a segment where the democrat was because president trump was threatening to shut count border. we didn't do that. clearly mexico will ask. as an america i can tell you i would be willing to sacrifice avocados for border security.

i don't liberals don't want to sacrifice their avocado toast. judge jeanine: we have tried everything. the president has tried everything. there was talk and i thought there was an agreement where mexico was going to hold asylum seekers in mexico until we could process them. but in the end we have a scenario where mexico, not just the united states, and it will be a short-term hurt. it will be that for a while. but people may not be buying things from mexico. mexico will get hurt, too. we have the strongest economy in the world and we have a right to flex our muscle. tariffs are not paid by mexico or mexicans. there are a lot of product, cars built in this country where

parts come in from mexico. there are things other than avocados that come in from mexico. it's a tax on the american people by trump if he doesn't. judge jeanine: stephanie, i want to talk about mueller. he has a press conference that is extremely baffling to me. he gets out there and for you lawyers, i mean, the report is the best evidence. you can't add to it, take away from it. it's like a contract. you have the four corners of the contract and that's it. why do you think mueller did it, stephanie? >> because he was sending signals to congress to move forward with impeachment. that's all this is about. he knew the media would pick it up and would be hysterical about it. he said really very little in the 9 minutes he was speaking.

we had the 465-page report. the best part of it is he thinks it will ride off into the sunset. he thick he doesn't need to testify because he already said everything he has to say. but that's not his decision. judge jeanine: he'll have to explain the discrepancies. olc didn't matter, the olc did matter. and it was in front of two other people. >> i don't think he has any trouble. he appeared this week because his word have been misled -- have been used by the to be general to mislead the american people as to what he wrote. all he said at the press conference is what was in the report. bill barr was misleading the american people. judge jeanine: dan bongino is

next. uh... do you mind...being a mo-tour? -what could be better than being a mo-tour? the real question is... do you mind not being a mo-tour? -i do. for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.

[♪] judge jeanine: the far left in a frenzy over robert mueller's statement about president trump and the russia investigation. here with the latest about the deep state trying to destroy the

president, dan bongino. i will ask you one question about mueller. why the hell did he show up and give this statement? >> for two reasons. i have to disagree with stephanie. she said he didn't say anything. he said a lot. first he put that olc thing out there. he said there was evidence of criminality but the olc stopped them. but he created a new standard of justice, not not guilty. which is impossible to prove. it was shameful. judge jeanine: the not not guilty. the fact that he decided to show up and say we had to say. he had to read it. he wouldn't take any questions. and now he says he's riding off into the sunset like he's going to get away from congress.

>> he's a subordinate officer in the executive branch who winked and nodded to another branch of congress. he said i am here to provide evidence so you can impeach the president. judge jeanine: i want to talk about another beauty. maxine waters. she tweeted low-life trump, lying crooked tax evader, porn star, fornicator should take his ridiculous self home, resign, and free us of what we will have to do to impeach him and throw him out of office. >> she seems nice, doesn't she? how do you respond to a tweet like that? what do you say about that? that's not even sane.

i'm couching my word gently because i don't even know how to respond to that. that's not rational. that's one of the things where you respond back in a tweet. you respond back. please seek help immediately. someone around you please intervene. porn star fornicator? judge jeanine: when you hesitated you said you didn't want to get kicked off the network. they can say what they want but it's different for us. judge jeanine: the woman lives in a multi million dollar mansion in one of the poorest districts in california. she lives outside the district. there are reports she lives outside her district. this woman has some chutzpah. >> we have standard.

the left will have her on tomorrow and celebrate this tweet. but her district has been poor for as long as she has been in office. she has done almost nothing. you see her videos that go viral, they are never for anything good. she didn't have any idea the government had given up the student look market. d -- the student loan market. the banks are looking at her like i can't believe you just asked that question. she gets viral famous for all the wrong reasons. judge jeanine: as we go forward, she is going to be on that podium yelling impeach, impeach, it's bad commentary. >> i don't know how that helps, i really don't. if that's what the democrats will do for 2020, that will seal

the election.

>> it's enough to up interpret what he said for impeachment proceedings. >> we have to hold those

accountable and only way to do that is for members of congress to begin impeachment. >> this is as close to an impeachment referral as you can get. judge jeanine: impeach, the impeach, impeach. the battle cry growing from 2020 democratic candidates. but will their message inspire or alienate voters? kayleigh mcenany janes me now. all three of them are convinced mueller was leaving the crumbs on the floor for them to follow right through to impeachment. are they reasonable in their interpretation? >> not at all. a new poll harvard-harris said

68% of the nation says accept mueller's conclusion on conspiracy and 65% said accept bars on obstruction and that this is hurting the country. judge jeanine: they have got to be seeing this as well as you and everyone else. are these guys running for president, are they just trying to get ahead of the pack? because they have got to know, it's not helping them. and they have got to know bennett is not going to convict. so what's going on? >> you have two lanes in the democrat party. you have the nancy pelosi lane saying in the long one this will -- in the long run this will hurt us. but the democratic 2020

contenders are desperate for fundraising and their desperate quest to keep up with biden. and they think it will bring the rabid crazy democrat radicals on to their side. nancy pelosi is trying to play the long game. judge jeanine: if the end do you think nancy pelosi will survive this? will her speakership survive it? >> i don't think so. she is only speaker in name. alexandria ocasio-cortez and these radical troops control the party. i think her days are numbered. judge jeanine: with respect to joe biden. his numbers continue to be double-digit leads. is it foreseeable for the rest of the election season that he's going to stay ahead of the pack of the democratic candidates? >> joe biden is ahead because he's an empty suit that has not

been asked a shard question of him by the mainstream media who wants to coronate him. when bernie looks at him and said you oversaw the worst economic recovery since world war ii and lost manufacturing jobs, wages were stagnant for a decade. his record is horrible. the mainstream media won't confront him, but the other contenders will. he's gaffe prone. he's a ridiculous candidate who has no record. judge jeanine: who will it be in the end? >> we'll see. but i believe the socialists control the democrat party. i think one of the socialists takes the reins. and i would include joe biden in that. hey mom, i can't wait to tell you about today.

i met a new friend. it's great to meet someone .. who really understands. she lost her dad last year. i really miss you mom. >> taps, the tragedy assistance program for survivors
