joining us tonight, congressman matt gaetz. congressman, great to have you with us. and the president saying after nancy pelosi refused to put forward a proposition or to concede to his insis tans that a wall be funded and built that it's a waste of time and bye-bye as he put it. what's your thought? >> if the democrats' heads were spinning faster in washington, we'd have to call the exorcist. these are the same democrats today calling the wall racist, immoral and unacceptable who previously have voted for billions of dollars in fencing and border security. this makes s makes no sense to . there are a lot of wealthy democrats in washington who live behind the barriers. they don't have the barriers because they hate the people on the outside. they have them because they love the people on the inside. donald trump loves this country and he's fighting for the forgotten men and women who want higher wages, safe streets, rule of law and a preservation of this country's borders with language and culture. i don't think that's too much to ask and it's pretty ridiculous that

congressman matt gaetz and mark green among our guests tonight. and new reports deputy attorney general rod rosenstein may leave the justice department within weeks after the mueller report is finalized according to some of the reporting. in addition to overseeing the witch hunt, rosenstein has suggested secretly recording the president. he says he was being sarcastic, invoking the 25th amendment to remove the president from office. he says he was kidding. and if he signed the extension of the fisa warrant to spy on former trump campaign aide carter page. and reeling from rosenstein's pending departure, chuck schumer made a desperate plea asking the president to withdraw william barr's nomination as attorney general. >> mr. rosenstein's potential departure only heightens the stakes for mr. barr's nomination. from all accounts, mr. rosenstein has been an impartial actor at the head of the special counsel's investigation. now president trump is trying to replace folks like mr. rosenstein with conflicted loyalists like matthew whitaker and william ba

joining me right now, florida congressman a matt gaetz.hen the president says all options are on the table. >> this is our hemisphere. we have 225,000 venezuelans livinged in the state of florida. if we don't take action to stabilize venezuela with our diplomatic and military efforts for training and equipping missions so there is not a spillover of violence into on ther elements of south america. but the experiences of venezuela show the failures of socialism. i tend to agree with sir win soon churchill. capitalism is the unequal distribiewftion resources and socialism is the equal distribution of misery. trish: it's an important thing to say right now as we look at the tragedy that unfolded the last 20 years in venezuela. i know you are fighting for, and i talk about the middle class. there has to be a better way. and i think the better way comes from economic policies that encourage more growth and wages can go up. these are the things that will result in meaningful change. we should think hard about our policy with china. but to say th

joining us tonight, congressman matt gaetz. good to have you with us. your thoughts on what in the world is happening toe the democratic party. >> boy, it is quite a lot to keep up with, lou. first the democrats voted for a wall, then said it was racist and immoral and now they don't want president trump to talk about a wall in congress in delivering the state of the union address. you look at what's going on in the world today. venezuela is on fire, a country breaking down, a humanitarian crisis on our border. terrorists and special interest aliens trying to enter our country illegally. and what nancy pelosi is focused on is where donald trump can give a speech? i mean, give me a break. if there was any mistake the president made, it wasn't canceling nancy pelosi's trip to afghanistan. i would have canceled her trip home from afghanistan. it strikes me as a nonsensical thing to do with so many issues before the country to focus on where the president will be standing when he convincingly makes the case that a border wall that's security on the southern

first among them is congressman matt gaetz of florida and he joins us tonight.t. coming on. >> thanks for having me, tucker.ke >> tucker: what do you do about the trade imbalance? >> we have to have an old testament approach to trade, an eye for an eye. if a country, like china is going to have a 25% tariff on the audio industry, we should be able to impose the same tariff back onn train or any other country. india has a 100% tariff on motorcycles but we wouldn't do the same thing to them. to me, this won't lead to more tariffs it will lead to fewer tariffs countries know we will do to them what they do to us. i think then they will be less likely to punish american businesses. >> tucker: i don't understand the reasoning on the other side. what could possibly be the justification for allowing that? >> of course, there are establishment folks in the leadership of both parties that believe free trade is the answer to everything in every circumstancece and it shouldn't matter what it does to the american workers if multinational corporations can offshore their jobs.
