joining us the presidential historian doug wead. how do you assess journalistic standards today?he last poll i saw showed about 12% approval rating for the american media and it's so frustrating to people. heartbreaking. it's not just they say the wrong things for false things, but it's also everybody today piece of the internet is their own news producer. they are getting the news all day long. they turn on these networks at night to see fish show on the news and the stories drive you up the wall. for three nights in a row they repeat the same stories because it fits their narrative. david: it's the unbalanced nature that gets me. they sometimes have verifications. if it's a neutral story or a story about biden, we did see him giving the "washington post" credit even though they report more positively on titan and the dutrow. generally speaking it's good stories on trump are nonexistent and yet if there is one little bad thing that he is said or is suggested he will say without any kind of verification. >> think of this, they are such demand for business news that there are more

joining me right now is presidential historian doug wead. doug, has there web an equivalent?er seen in history this total rush to the left let's just might as well become, you know, the ussr or cuba or venezuela for that matter the way they are talking? >> there has been the communist revolution. and there is more. the democrat nominees were asked if they would give free healthcare to illegal aliens in this country and they said yes they would. here you have a dilemma, 80,000 votes in three states voting differently have elected a different candidate 2016. we have that's people crossing the border more every month. you might as well empty the country of mexico, guatemala and el salvador and nigeria. if they can come here they get free healthcare the rest of their life. trish: i have nothing against people from mexico, guatemala or honduras. i am just speaking realistically. you are a country, you have a certain system within the country that requires people to pay taxes. and that economic system is dependent upon everyone contributing to it. you can't have a system where you

joining me is presidential historian doug wead and david harris. thank you for being here. with you. i feel like this is the mueller report all over again. russia, russia, russia. we finally get the report, no collusion. this going down the rabbit hole of impeachment, i think it's a losing strategy and just shows the hatred they have for the president. >> in that poll, even the independent don't want impeachment. i think the democrats lost their way. they need to be positive. meant midst of the civil rights era you will remember hubert humphrey. he was called the happy warrior. politicians emphasized being positive, being happy. i think the democrats need to find somebody for something, not against someone. ashley: that's difficult at his age. this is a party being pulled further and further to the left. they hate the president, they don't want him there. this is a strategy that will win for the gop? >> it is. they don't have anything of substance to run on. every single democrat candidate that wants to push a narrative, i think the american people are getting tired of hear

joining me, presidential historian doug wead and independent women's forum board member nan hayworth, good to have you here. doug, the president says congress hasn't done anything the past 30 years. he's right on that front. when it comes to gun legislation they are asleep at the switch. americans don't feel the way congress does. why aren't they doing anything? >> it's interesting, trish. some people think because it took richard nixon to open china, it might take donald trump to force congress to come together and force congress to do something on gun laws. we'll see if that happens. trish: he's talking about it. it could. but in the meantime you have the nra out there handing out money to people who want to get re-elected. how do they separate the threat of the nra cutting off funding and disengaging them from what they need to do for the country that's right at this moment in time given all that's happened. i am not saying this will fiction anything, but it seems it's that common sense kind of thing. >> i'm a lifetime member of the nra. but as a historian things have changed since
