joining us tonight is ed rollins from the reagan white house political director great america chairmanws contributor and super american, great friend >> thank you. to me this is the most treacherous thing these guys could possibly do two months before an election to go against your own leadership and own president if they want an maze bill a comprehensive immigration bill, he certainly has a show on this and if he don't give him his wall he will veto this thing so why go through this override a very weak speaker which is the perfect reason why he shouldn't be the speaker and put this up and embarrass republicans and everybody else. lou: i heard a number of republicans though say, ed, they just want to do something. i mean, this is the dumbest thing, this is one of the dumbest things, i should correct myself that i've heard republicans say over the years and they've said a lot. >> last time i looked they have 218 is a majority they have 20 more than that, if they want a comprehensive immigration bill the president will sign -- lou: who says they want a comprehensive bill. >> we have and

illegal immigrants, president trump is visiting the community terrorized by the m s-13 gangs, vowing to do whatever it takes to secure our borders. ed rollins on us on the politics of immigration tonight >>> our top story, spy gate. that's what president trump today called the growing political scandal that could go down as the biggest this country has ever witnessed. the president tweeted this morning about the partisan witch hunt now exploding in the faces of its conspirators and authors. the president wrote this. look how things have turned around on the criminal deep state. they go after phony collusion with russia, a made-up scam and

ed rollins is concerned about the use of the term rino.d instead of rino, because he was looking for some way to avoid it. she suggests opossums and armadillos. she says she prefers opossums. i don't think we have got it yet, wanda. but let's see what the congressman says. you want to go with rino or armadillo? >> i will stick with the rino. the acronip is exactly -- the acronym is exactly what it is. lou: you have an idea to raise the money and build the wall. >> that's right. we have been talking about building this wall. past administrations continue to say yes we are going to build this wall, by the doesn't get funded. we'll jump-start this by having a dedicated fund within the treasury where the american people will have an opportunity too send their -- to send their money in. it was done with the washington monument. there was a lack of completion and people around the country said we want to have it finished. you can go to the washington monument and see the plaques dedicated who put the money. we know it won't fund the entire wall.

joining me now, the dean ed rollins, former reagan white house adviser. great to have you with us. the president isly, the only president who has had the guts to take on the drug cartels and call them out to take on ms-13 and call them out and nancy pelosi and the dems are trying to make political -- take political advantage by saying the little ca darlings aren't animals. >> the little darlings are apists and murderers. they're some of the most vicious criminals we've had in this country. and they ought to be hunted down, put in jail or hung and shot in the process of arresting them. there's 13,000 of them in this country and donald trump is the only man out there fighting them. i think law enforcement across this country should be supporting him 100 mrs. and the voters should be supporting him 101%. lou: the president of the united states is singular in his courage. none of the leadership has stood by him, no one from the texas delegation, no one from -- i mean to stand up there and actually take on ms-13, the drug cartels. he is absolutely alone in standing up against these vicious violent thugs

use it. is that actually going to fly? joining me right now fox news contributor, former reagan campaign director ed rollins. >> how are youh: good. they're trying to use his own word now. he had such a good campaign they want it. >> there is no credibility with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi saying they will drain the swamp. they have been a product of it. they have many friends that are lobbyists. i think at the end of the day, with trump there is some believability. has the swamp gotten drained? no. you will take more than draining, cement it over and take 100 years ago to do that. as a campaign slogan i think there is no credibility to it. trish: i think you're right. i think a lot of their constituents will see through that, because he is so, the president has been so identified with having coined that. i want to switch gears ask you about a very big story right now. they're talking about being a second investigation and there is concern that there may have been a second fbi informant who was in the trump campaign in 2016. i haven't talked to you since all this news broke. so give me your reaction. >> my reaction, thi

us look as bad as possible. that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards. we will find out who they are. fox news contributor ed rollins ish me. you ran reagan's campaign. in two administrations for reagan, two terms. what is it, do you think this is above normal? >> this is way above normal from day one. from day one, two or three camps historically people come in with the president, part of his administration as a governor or senator, what have you as a campaign. this wasn't. this was three different camps before you even started. you had ivanka and jared, who obviously have done some leaking in the course of their career. bannon was leaking all over the place. even kellyanne did some leaking early on. i think what happened, a bunch of people hired who were not necessarily trump people. they waned jobs in the white house. they were republicans. there is whole group of people in washington waiting for trump, they want to see whether he is one-on, and maybe falters and maybe there is a new president comes four years from now. so, the key thing that doesn't have to be very high level. it can be sometimes low level. the pre

us look bad. this is backfiring. dems must agree to wall and new border protection for good of country. bipartisan bill. well, i'm joined right now on set by none other than than the magnificent ed rollinsrmer campaign manager for ronald reagan, and a fox news contributor. >> thank you. trish: you know, we saw the pictures going into break. i don't want to see them again. they're just awful. the problem i guess, you have the left out there tweeting these, trying to accuse this president of this, when it turns out it was actually the previous president, their president obama, what is going on? >> when i was in the white house in 1986, last time we had a real serious immigration overhaul. took us five years to get there. but we got there. obama had democrat majority. couldn't get it through. george w. bush had a republican majority, couldn't get a immigration bill. you won't get it done unless it is bipartisan. the p laid out in the campaign, he want as wall, security. democrats don't want to give him that. he will give them most of what they want. that is only first step. daca is still first step. we have awful lot of people in this country illegally and which have to do something. we ne

is right as the president put it dagen he said hopefully this works out. dagen. dagen: thank you blake, blake burman white house, joining us now former chief white house adviser under president ronald reagan, ed rollinsm was willing to do. >> obviously, all of that is true i think the critical thing here is at least the president tried, the chairman obviously didn't want to negotiate on terms we want to negotiate on, we want him to denuclearize we are not giving him everything he wants going to sit down if he wants a good citizen of the world he hasn't to date we will cooperate help his economy starving people eating dirt rocks what have you my sense they have got a lot to lose sanctions working effectively trump is stronger player than anyone might have thought i think they found that out. >> seems like kim i mentioned moon jae-in in ask the "the wall street journal" editorial page writes pulling out of summit was good looked like headed toward summit failure because kim noos intention of deneurologic reli denuclearizing. >> after tr winter o lovpz looked like he miss represented the north position. >> he wanted a deal, basically probably the most, pro north of any more than president in korea, and
