according to freedom house, we are now in the 13th straight year of freedom in decline around the world. and in the past three years, it has been established democracies, those countries states, that are considered fully free in the freedom house index, that show the worst setbacks. instead of rule of law, something the u.s. has been promoting for many decades or seeking to promote, the carnegie endowment has identified 60 governments that have instituted ruled by law taking a number of serious measures to restrict civil society. through legal means like regulation or the curbing of financial assistance to those organizations. parties and politicians that were once at the periphery due to their extreme views, now occupy influential roles in many established democracies. from these more mainstream positions, they often demonize immigrants and refugees, attacked the press, and do what the can to undermine judiciary and the checks and balances that exist on and realized power. today, for example, 90% of the media in hungary is owned or controlled by allies of the president and his party. i

the freedom house is held by the urban league, the franklin building. that once covered an entire city block. there was a wall around it and cages for enslaved people. the reason they thrived was because tobacco is a crop that doesn't just grow in the soil. it mines the nutrients out of the soil. by the 1800s, the soil of virginia was no longer fertile. tobacco was dying out as a cash crop. with that, the need for slaves was diminishing. because in virginia, their capital was invested in slavery, began to sell off slaves. franklin bought them and sent them by boat or by walking across country to the slave market in the lower mississippi. purchasedng should be by the city of alexandria, the state of virginia, it needs to be preserved. you cannot let that fall into private hands or become a block of condominiums. it has to be preserved.

online statement we hear this in public protests in india that's what i don't hear if you think freedom house is the latest report which says that despite a vibrant media indian journalists risk harrison and death threats and physical violence in connection with their work such attacks are rarely punished and some have taken place with the complicity or active participation of police. i think it is shameful whenever any journalist is attacked indeed there have been some attacks and maybe there are people complicit at the lower level but prosecutions do happen to happen and i can you know i can tell you very comprehensively it is not the indian state it is not the indian government and it is not the b.g.p. which condones this what is telling is that your latest annual crime report which is more than a year late leaves out some rather important categories like attacks on journalists nothing about human rights violations by security forces or attacks by vigilantes when asked about these gaps your home affairs ministry said that data for these categories had been withheld because it was unreliabl

tonight republican congressman and house freedom caucus chair andy biggs plus dan bongino, thomas fitn, dennis prager and sara carter. but first the name of the show is justice and it's coming. the great nest thing about america is justice always wins in the end. we have watched for years as radicals attempt multiple takedowns of the president. each takedown was part of their political agenda. not an agenda of truth and justice. but make no mistake. justice always prevails. this week the department of justice opened a criminal investigation into the russia collusion claims of the obama administration essentially investigating the investigators. the ones who decided to open a counter intelligence investigation, then seek secret warrant to spy on an american citizen to ultimately spy on the campaign of donald trump. you know the story. but this criminal investigation is different from the i.g. report which we expect to finally see with quote few redactions. although the i.g.'s report may indeed provide a blueprints much what was done there will be is no official consequence to the repor

we reported at the "wall street journal" a few days ago that it was the white house freedom caucus, a group of conservative lawmakers who are the staunchest trump supporters in congress had to go to the white house and say, hey, we're not hearing enough from you, we're not having enough messaging, we don't understand the strategy, and that led to a daily phone call between lawmakers and key lawmakers on the hill and senior white house aides. the white house is stuck between trying to say that they did nothing wrong, that they don't want to participate and their allies saying you have to do more, you have to participate, you have to help us help you. >> mithanks to both of you. appreciate it. >>> still ahead, the white house is pushing for the whistle-blower in this ukraine scandal to come forward but is that likely to happen? >>> and john bolton could be the star witness in the impeachment probe against the president. will he give damaging information on trump to house lawmakers? t-mobile's newest signal reaches farther than ever before... with more engineers, more towers, more covera

but first joining me live, chairman of the house freedom caucus and republican congressman from arizonady biggs. thanks for being with us. i want to talk about what's going on in conscious the last few weeks. i know a couple days ago you wrote a letter to speaker pelosi requesting there be an immediate recusal of adam schiff. why did you do that? >> you know, we did the motion to censure. but since we did the motion to censure there has been a host of additional information such as when he said he didn't have contact, meaning we, he and his staff didn't have contact with the whistleblower. it turns out that isn't accurate. we have two people on the staff who used work with that person, and they had contact with him. and we don't know for sure. but it looks like they helped craft that whistleblower complaint. you don't get a whistleblower complaint that has 17 reference to the media and written like a brief the way this complaint is. judge jeanine: didn't they get that information in the beginning of august and they didn't report and we didn't hear about it for a month, and wasn't schiff
