i'm going to give him 14 extra seconds to fill his show. >> trey: i don't know what to do with them other than ask you for a golf tip. i don't know what to do with the extra time, bret. thank you, though. great show tonight. good evening and welcome to fox news primetime. i'm trey gowdy. your time is important and we're grateful you would spend it with us. i want you to imagine there's a file sitting on a prosecutor's desk. the decision that prosecutor makes will impact every aspect of your life. your reputation is at stake. your freedom is at stake. your ability to provide for your family is at stake. now, what are the characteristics and qualities you want in the person making these decisions that will impact your life? do you want that person to be impartial? do you want that person to be fair, to be guided by the facts and the law?

do you want that person to protect the confidentiality of the investigation? even rumors about your case can impact your reputation. you want someone who values the truth. you want someone with the courage to make the right decision, even if it's an unpopular decision. there's an old supreme court case that sets out the job description of a prosecutor. it is not the win. it is not the simply get convictions. it is to be a minister of justice. i have a daughter in law school. she's heard me say this a million times. good prosecutors clear more innocent people a month than defense attorneys do in a lifetime. but you have to be objective. you have to be fair. and you have to be honest. i would be hard pressed to think of any lawyer i worked with in congress who is less qualified to be a prosecutor than adam

schiff. yet this week we learned he wants to be the next attorney general of california. i guess california is progressive. i guess the next attorney general there will not share any of my political views. i'm fine with that. but you can still find someone honest and fair and trustworthy. there are plenty of progressives who still value the truth. we had one on last night. there are others. but adam schiff is not one of them. here's just one example. >> there is circumstantial evidence of collusion. there is direct evidence i think of deception. this is about as clear evidence you can find of intent by the campaign to collude with the russians. russians have offered help. campaign accepted help. russians gave help. president made full use of that help. the best case that the president is not an asset of the russians

is the russians would tell him, slow down, you're too obvious. >> trey: none of that was true. it was a lie. good prosecutors don't lie. adam schiff promised evidence he never produced. he leaked witness interviews. he did everything he could to cover up the fisa abuse. he even went to court to prevent you from finding out who paid for the dossier. he claimed he never met with a witness, but we know he had. when his facts weren't good, he made up good ones. when he got caught, he called it a parody. if the democrats were really worried about disinformation, they would have shut adam schiff up a long time ago. when it came time to the grand jury to meet, adam schiff could not convince a single republican house member to vote his way. he couldn't even convince all

the democrats to vote his way. when it came time for the senate trial, he failed to persuade the jury. he didn't even come close. i know cnn thought that he was dazzling, but trust me, losing the way he did is not dazzling. so now he wants to be a minister of justice. he wants to be a prosecutor. he wants to be the top prosecutor in the state of california. i can name dozens of democrat lawyers i would trust to sit at that table and make the right decision on a case that impacted my life, but adam schiff is not one of them. california's next attorney general will be a progressive. i know that. but why can't it be an honest progressive? gavin newsom is the governor of

california, at least for now he is. he gets to pick the next attorney general. let's hope he picks a woman or man worthy of being called a prosecutor, a minister of justice. joining me now california congress woman ranking member on the house intelligence committee devin nunes. >> trey, great monologue. i'll tell you what's most dazzling, that new spot fox gave you for primetime tonight. >> trey: thank you, chairman. god must be mad at you. why would he make you sit next to adam schiff for six years and let him be your attorney general in your beloved state of california? is that really going to happen? >> i have no idea. obviously, he hasn't talked to me about this. i assume the fake news is somewhat correct. i don't know if newsom is recruiting schiff or if schiff is promoting himself. the larger problem we have in california that a lot of people

don't realize is there's been a system attic approach by extreme left wing groups to remove actually liberal democrats -- this actually happened, as county district attorneys. this has been going on all the country. in los angeles county there was a very liberal african-american woman that was the district attorney there. they imported a white guy from san francisco who is now the district attorney in los angeles county. so i'm not sure if there's more afoot here. if this is some of the same billionaires that are looking to put -- schiff would fill that bill. he would be progressive. he would probably work closely with the extremists that are being put in across the country as district attorneys. >> trey: you referenced the district attorney particularly in los angeles. i think he was an import from another part of the state. he doesn't want to meet with crime victims.

he's not interested in enhancing sentences. that's what the public defender used to be for, not the prosecutor. let me ask you about schiff. i can handle progressive. i just can't handle dishonest. when i was in congress with you, i mean, i can't think of anybody who leaked more often and was less trustworthy to work with than adam schiff. did he change once i left? >> what's changed since you left, the house intelligence committee no longer exists. it's now the house impeachment committee. i think this congress, we're actually going to be looking into domestic terrorist. that's not the jurisdiction of the house intelligence committee. the intelligence committees are made to actually look at foreign intelligence not domestic intelligence. so democrats have made it clear that what they want to do, take the 74 million people that voted for the republican candidate, donald trump, for president and we're going to investigate all of them because clearly

something must be wrong with them. that appears where they're headed in this congress. what would be california's loss or gain, however you want to put it, would actually i think make the house intelligence committee much better when we get back to work and become an intelligence committee again. >> trey: you know, you served on that committee since the very first day i met you. you take that work incredibly seriously. you were one of the guys that the rest of us went to. if you're limited on what you can tell us. you took the job very seriously. it must break your heart to see that committee turn into, what you call it the impeachment committee. what are some of the things that have been missed over the past four to five years because of their hyper focus on donald trump? >> i think the big issue probably is the china threat. as you know, trey, when we were in charge, we were trying to run a china investigation and we continued to do that all the way through the russia hoax.

we ended up spending so much time on the russia hoax. you were one of our lead investigators and the lead on this. you did a hell of a job. your hair cut now is much better than what your hair was then. every day you come in with a new hair style in the committee. but look, this is real work that has to be done in there. the american people depend on having strong oversight over these agencies. that hasn't been happening here in the house of representatives after really going on several years. it doesn't look like it's going to start. china's a real threat. our former colleague, john radcliffe, who served on the committee with us, who is also the head of the director of national intelligence, i think he said it very clearly as he was leaving. he sounded all the alarms that you could possibly sound from his position. secretary pompeo did the same exact thing. the american people, i believe, since we have an intelligence

committee. we spend billions of dollars on intelligence gathering around the world and everywhere else. you would think we would be focused on what are our most important threats at the highest level that threaten every day american citizens' lives. i can tell you, it's not domestic terrorist. it's not an impeachment committee. >> trey: we've got a couple of minutes. i have been to your home in california. i have met your beautiful family. i know how much you love the state. it is hard for those of us in south carolina to imagine that ronald reagan was once the governor of california. there have been republicans since then, like pete wilson. is it possible that gavin newsom will be recalled? is it even remotely possible that a republican could win the governor's mansion in california again? >> well, i think the biggest challenge we have is without a social media platform where you

can share your thoughts freely on the internet and be able to organize and get good information out, that's not happening. what's happening now, twitter, facebook, all of them are doing incredible censorship that's protecting newsom. you ask the question, is he going to be recalled? i think the answer is there's going to be enough signatures to put it on the ballot. then the people of california will have to vote yes or no. at that point he's either recalled or not. then you'll see a whole list of candidates being asked if they're going to run for governor. last time schwarzenegger and 50 other people ran, as i recall, for governor. that will be the process. i think the thing to watch over the next coming weeks, we'll see if any prominent democrat decide to put their name and announce that they will run for governor as a democrat. if that happens, i think it will spell bad news for gavin news so

m. as far as republicans being able to win in california, it's going to take a lot of education, trey. it's a state with a lot of problems, to say it the least. >> trey: i know you love the state. it's a beautiful state. i miss you. you were beaten up on more than any other colleague i had the last few years i was there. i'm glad to see you're not only still standing, you're still fighting. you take care of yourself. i'll see you soon, i hope. >> thanks, appreciate it. >> trey: outrage over president biden's decision to open detention centers for migrant children. >> this is very simple. >> the united states is running concentration camps on our southern border. that is exactly what they are. they are concentration camps. >> trey: i think we ran the wrong clip. that was an old clip. that was from when donald trump

was president. i wonder what the squad is saying now. it's totally normal to have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it? maybe you think... it's occasional constipation. maybe it's not. it could be a chronic medical condition called ibs-c, and time to say yesss! to linzess. linzess works differently than laxatives. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. change your thinking to ibs-c.

if your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss! to linzess. mike shopped for the lowest mortgage rate and chose amerisave. a choice he'll never regret... ...unlike using perm plus, a shampoo which attracts cats. lots and lots of cats. visit amerisave.com now. lower mortgage rates mean higher savings.

>> trey: according to democrats one of donald trump's worse sins was instituting a policy of family separation at the border. >> the united states is running concentration camps on our southern border. that is exactly what they are. they are concentration camps. >> these are like concentration camps. i'm not afraid to use that word. >> there are camps and people are being concentrated. >> 40 years before auschwitz we had concentration camps. what we're doing now is very

cleanly inside that tradition. >> trey: well now, what are we supposed to make of president biden's decision this week to reopen the exact same facility? democrats once dubbed them a concentration camp. lara logan is an investigative journalist. welcome, how are you? >> i'm good. thanks, trey. >> trey: you spent a lot of time on the border. what are some of the things americans need to know that is happening at the southern border that perhaps they don't know? >> well, first off, i would say most of the people work say, for example, in texas, are hispanic or mexican-americans. we have this sort of stereotyped idea that anyone who has any concerns about the border is some kind of white supremist. that's just not true when you go down there.

what's happening right now is the border agencies are moving from a mission of border security to one of migrant care. that's why there is talk about this facility being open. i'm not surprised the biden administration is going to use it. they were built by biden and barack obama. that's what's frustrating for border agents and agencies is to be villified for doing the same thing they've always done. i was one of the journalists able to get access and go inside these. as a mom and person, your heart breaks. right? you don't want to see women and children or families in that sort of situation. but the reality is there are two sets of problems at the southern border. border security is one and immigration is another. what both sides of the aisle do is define the border early in terms of immigration. that's at the expense of national security. that's what no one's talking

about. everything they're doing to move from a security mission on to a care mission and how they're going to use their resources and what that means for national security. >> trey: let's take a clip from your new show. let's take a look at this clip. >> we found the cartels more aggressive by the days and escalating national security nightmares. armed with military grade weapons, a war chest in the billions, they're not stopping at the border. you're looking at one small part of mexico's newest and most violent cartel. according to the dea, they are operating in 35 u.s. states. >> trey: it seems like the cartel violence is perhaps worse than it was in the '80s and '90s. is that what you found? >> drastically worse and

dramatically different. what you really have now, trey, is cartels function as a shadow government, parallel government in mexico. the government of mexico takes its orders from the cartel. they're the ones who control the border. they control what happens inside mexico. they are the most violent organization. what they do to mexican people on a daily basis is absolutely horrifying. i cannot begin to tell you the things that i and everyone else who follows this, from eating people's hearts, kids hearts while they are alive to surgically removing people's blood so they can behead them, that kind of thing. they are also the wealthiest criminal organization on earth. what people don't realize is they control 90% of the global trade in narcotics. today they've partnered with the chinese, who are doing most of their money laundering. they're prolific rating the most deadly drugs this country has ever seen, the most deadly drug,

fentanyl. people may think they're taking meth but they're not. meth overdoses are up 35% in the last fiscal year because fentanyl has been mixed in with it. what most parents don't realize is when the opioid crisis hit and the u.s. government cracked down on prescription opioids, the cartels and the chinese just filled the void. who are the kings of counterfeit? the chinese. they are supplying the equipment, the pill presses, the color dyes to make these counterfeit pills. they're not aderal or xanax. they're baby formula mixed with fentanyl. they're very uneven. that's why you have so many overdoses. this country has never seen anything like this. right at the moment when the new administration is opening up the border. >> trey: lara, that is important work. it is dangerous work. if you want to learn more about

of the first of progressive cities that has passed a law mandating an extra $4 an hour hero pay for grocery store workers. santa monica, seattle, los angeles, have similar measures, but long beach is getting push back from kroger retailer which announced because of the hero pay mandate, it will permanently close two of its long beach grocery stores. the company released a statement that reads in part, the harm that will come to employees and local citizens is a direct result of the city of long beach's attempt to pick winners and losers. democratic mayor of long beach robert garcia is filing a lawsuit against kroger saying the company made huge profits during the pandemic and should be willing to share that money with its employees. the california grocers association begs to differ. watch. >> we operate on a 1% net margin, okay, and you're asking

us to take a 30% raise for all of our workers. you're making grocery stores make the decision, either close stores, cut hours for employees or raise prices. >> reporter: the law is supposed to go into effect for any grocer with more than 300 employees nationally, but somehow long beach excluded big box stores like target, wal-mart and costco which also sell groceries. even the liberal l.a. times questioned why only certain grocers are being targeted. some analysts say the new laws show just how powerful labor groups have become at city halls in progressive cities and those who represent the grocery stores say it's important to remember these employees and their unions already have negotiated labor agreements in place and experts warn that los angeles, seattle and other cities that mandate pay increases will also likely see stores shutting down.

trey? >> trey: thank you, trace. president biden's climate czar john kerry wants you to pitch in and fight climate change, even if it means sacrificing your job. how? if you're wondering what john kerry is willing to do to pitch in, not much. here he is back in 2019 explaining why he flew his private jet to ice the land for a climate conference. >> it's the only choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle. i negotiated the paris accords for the united states. i have been involved in this fight for years. time it takes me to come. i can't sail across the ocean. i have to fly. >> trey: to be fair to john kerry, maybe he did have to fly. i think his yacht was in the shop that week. here's a crazy idea, john kerry. fly commercial like the rest of the world. because commercial flights are

better for the environment. the down side is you might have to actually sit next to a normal person who doesn't play polo and the flight probably doesn't offer caviar. if you want to fly private, that's up to you, just don't lecture the rest of us about sacrifice, especially when your policies are asking the american people to sacrifice their jobs. joining me now, an american who's been directly impacted by the biden administration climate politics. owns a hotel in south dakota getting hurt by the decision to cancel the keystone xl pipeline. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> trey: let me start off by saying i am sorry for what has happened to you and to your coworkers. i really want to know, when president biden made this decision, how did you feel? >> my first initial was just complete shock.

my heart dropped down to the bottom of my stomach. then the workers came in to tell me that's it, it's done. i tried to fight back the tears. after they started packing up, the tears started coming. it wasn't just them leaving, the job canceling, the keystone being down. it was a whole mass of, what does it mean? what will my other business owners do? we invested so much in response to this already started project. and what happens next? >> trey: while you're shedding tears over jobs being lost, john kerry is complaining about why he can't fly commercial. do you ever get the feeling that maybe the people making the decisions don't understand real americans like you and your coworkers? >> most definitely. this really should show the

entire nation and even the world that they have lost touch with real america. to say, just buck up and find demand for your hotel. it's not that easy. we're out in the middle of nowhere. when you think you've gotten there, go another 50 miles and you might find us. it's not easy to create demand and even harder after we put investments in that we would have not normally done if it weren't in response to the jobs already here. >> trey: well, you have a beautiful state and i encourage people to visit it. i want to ask you this. how realistic is it to tell people who have only known one line of works that they need to go do something else. you need to build solar panels, or you need to get out of the coal mines and start clearing land mines. that seems so arrogant to tell you what you should do for a

living. >> i definitely agree with that. what i know of the workers, they've invested money into tools. every trade has a different tool set so it can vary on the amount of money that they've spent. it would be like asking a plumber to go mow lawns after he's spent $50,000 to $100,000 on the trucks and everything else he needs to do his job. these workers have also invested into specific tasks and jobs. >> trey: laurie, here's what i want you to do. this will be my last question. if president biden is watching or if he hears your answer, i want you to tell him what this decision has done to you. what would you say to joe biden if you were sitting across the table from him? >> the decision in itself took a lot of dreams away from not just

myself, but other business owners, the workers, a lot of america, and i would ask him to reconsider any other policies that would destroy our economy. >> trey: laurie, thank you for joining us. we are all pulling for you, and we hope that your hotel does fabulously well. thank you for being with us tonight. >> thafrpbg you for having me. >> trey: yes, ma'am. when we come back, former u.n. ambassador and former governor of the great state of south carolina, nikki haley, joining me live. for veteran families, when it comes to finding and buying your dream home, we'll be there to make it happen. we'll be there when you want better rates too. or to get money for retirement. we'll be there because we work only with veteran families like yours

>> trey: ambassador to the united nations is a prestigious job. it is significant and it is influential. representing the united states of america in high stakes negotiations around the world. it is also turned out to be a launching pad of sorts to bigger and some might argue better things. take susan rice or samantha

powell. those were president obama's picks for u.n. ambassador. republicans took issue with them at the time but their concerns were ultimately dismissed. similar concerns were raised about president biden's pick for top diplomat specifically when it comes to a speech she gave in 2019 in praise of chinese investments overseas. she has since tried to distance herself from those comments, but will it work? joining me now former ambassador to the united nations and former governor of the great state of south carolina, nikki haley. how are you, governor haley? >> hey, trey. great to be with you. >> trey: thank you. i am not going to ask you to comment on your successor unless you want to. i will ask you to comment on china and what kind of message we should be sending them in terms of our relationship with them? >> i think it's important, look, the issue with china is more important than just one speech that the new ambassador may have

given. what i'm concerned about is the biden administration understanding what a true threat china is. the department of defense came out and said that the chinese military were ahead of the pentagon on three things. china has the largest naval fleet in the world. they have the most advanced air defense system in the world. and they literally have one of the most robust land missiles programs in the world. and when you look at that and then you go to the fact that they have no treaties to kind of reign china in, yet biden gets us back into the new start treaty with russia that brings us in, doesn't allow us to compete with china. doesn't include china in it. oh, by the way, you just expanded it five years. russia's thrilled, china's thrilled. this is the problem we have. you get into the paris climate agreement yet you're not going

to have china have to follow the same regulations as the united nations? my concern is that the biden administration is not taking china seriously. this feels like it's going right back to what it was where they just assumed that china would be okay if we tried to talk to them. china, they want to be communist china. they want to rule the world, literally. we need vision. we need to be smart about it. we need to be strategic about it. we need to understand that they need to be held accountable. not one word yet has been said about the fact that they put this virus on the whole world. no one is asking china to be accountable for that. it's time for us to step up. it's about big issues and how we take on china going forward. >> trey: let me ask you about another country. iran. how do we go from killing an iranian general because they were such an adversary to now being able to sit down at the table and discuss their nuclear

arsenal? how do you go from killing a general to talking to them? >> trey, this is truly dangerous. you look at the fact that they're looking at getting back into the iran deal. what does that mean? that means you're going to lift all the sanctions that we put on iran. the sanctions that we've put on them weaken them, in terms of they weren't able to fund terrorism, and weakened their economy so much that they've got the iranian people demonstrating in the street against the regime. that's what we wanted. you're going to jump back in the iran deal but not ask them to leave syria. you're not going to ask them to stop their nuclear program. you're not going to ask them to stop their missile program, to not stop funding terrorism. you're going to get back into a deal, and that's literally obama 2.0. that's going right back to the same situation. this is a bigger issue. now you're going back to, you're actually hurting our friends, israel and the arab countries,

that worked with us on getting these sanctions back on iran. that worked with us on trying to hold back terrorism. the concern i have is, what you have is the biden administration snubbing our friends like israel, but cozying up to enemies like iran. do you know biden's been in office for two weeks now. he has yet to call the israeli prime minister, one of our closest allies. i don't understand the logic. whether it's china, whether it's iran. any of the foreign policy that he's doing is really not being about strong america. it's about just being complacent with those that are our enemies. >> trey: i want to ask you to put on your old governor hat. i want to play a clip from ron desantis and then on the other side of it, i want to ask you two questions. >> you have the new york post to run it and you couldn't get any traction. you couldn't get any reach on it because big tech put their thumb

on the scale. that was true. what they said at the time, oh, it was a conspiracy, or based on hacked information. are you kidding me? you're trying to tell me if there was hacked information that could damage me, you guys wouldn't print it? give me a break. you can whiz on my leg, but don't tell me it's raining. you'd print it every day and big tech would allow it to pro-live rate every day, 24/7. >> trey: governor, i watched you navigate a primary field full of men when you became the governor. i have watched you fight with our south carolina general assembly when they needed to be fought with. so i know you're tough. how would you -- how should republicans fight with both big tech and a media that, ron is right, we perceive to be biased against us? >> we have to speak about the truth. we've got to call them out and say, look. here everybody is talking about

unity, right? that's the new buzz word. everybody wants to talk about unity. first you have to talk about, if you're going to talk about the division of republicans and democrats, how are we going to hold the media accountable, big tech accountable? i'm not talking about government coming in. they have to acknowledge their responsibility in all of the division. and it used to be a time where the left was all about freedom of speech. now they want to reign that in. you just had aoc recently say she wants a commission that will turn around and reign in any of the right wing news programs. you have, literally, they just had a call out. they want to cancel fox news off regular cable stations. fox news and other conservative outlets, they now want to take off some of the cable networks because they don't think it's safe to have on or they don't think it's right. what happened to the fact that the media is supposed to give us the facts, not tell us what to

think, not tell us how to think. just give us the facts. give us both sides. the american people are smart enough to make those decisions for ourselves. we don't need the media telling us, and we don't need big tech partnering with the media, in terms of what they think is the right speech and the wrong speech. we are the greatest country in the world. at the u.n., i saw how envious all the countries were about freedom of speech. this literally has every country in the world scratching their head saying, what is happening in america? it's time for the media to do their job. it's time for big tech to do their job. i think every governor, every politician, every private citizen needs to be calling them out for what they're doing. it's wrong. this is not the way they're going to win. what they're going to do, be careful what you wish for. the last thing you want is aoc doing a federal commission that's managing the media. >> trey: well, i wanted to ask

you if there's anything you want to announce, but i'm not going to ask you because i figure when you're ready to announce it, you will. thank you, governor. >> everybody go to stand for america pact.com. >> trey: thank you, governor. we'll be right back. ..

time investigating accidents of depravity and evil, you get the proportions misaligned in your own mind. sometimes when the depravity is all you see, you think it's all that exists. when you are a cop, you see people at their worst. but that is not all you see. you see the crime scene photos. you can't get out of your mind. you see acts of violence against children and other vulnerable people. you are expected to run toward danger whenever instinct tells us to run away from danger. you are lied to. you are assaulted. and everything you did or did not do is scrutiniesed. you make hard decisions, sometimes split-second decisions. then the people judging the decisions can make weeks and months to decide whether or not you made the right call.

i want to us have high expectations for cops because they have awesome powers but you want them to have high expectations for us, too. often the only time we think of the cops is when they get in trouble or killed in the line of duty. we don't call the cops when things are going well in life. i prosecuted a murder case in south carolina years ago. and the cop on that case was outstanding. it was a tough, emotional case but he was great. he was professional. he was compassionate. and i wanted to tell him what a great job he had done. but the verdict came back and the sentencing hearing was about to begin and he slipped out of the back of the courtroom. it's okay, i thought to myself. i'll see him again and i'll make sure he knows what a great job he did. he was young and he was talented and he had a bright future. so i knew that i would see him again. when i saw him again, you could thank him. but the next time i saw him,

he was lying on the side of a road shot to death. while serving a warrant. i waited too late. we lost a police officer during the storming of the capitol. we lost f.b.i. agents yesterday. my hope is we can all do a better job of appreciating cops and the job they do before it's too late. we should have high expectations of them. but they should have high expectations of us, too. one of those expectations is to simply say thank you while they are still able to hear us. so to every law enforcement officer in the country who can still hear us, thank you for

your service. from all of us and good night. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening. welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." happy wednesday. on november 22, 1963, a man called lee harvey oswald murdered the president of the united states. there were a lot of questions about what happened but there was never any question about who lee harvey oswald was. he was a passionate and committed communist. in 1959, he gave up his american passport and defected to the soviet union where he married a russian woman and lived in minesk. then he returned to this country and began to attend rallies for fidel castro. then he traveled to mexico
