Catherine the hearings just wrapped up. The white house is advancing a new and dangerous theory, the crony privilege. It makes immunity look good by comparison. This is a coverup plain and simple. This hearing which is now as you said under the new rules, i have never seen a majority so malaise with packaging. They cant sell the product. Catherine the white house claimed president ial immunity for rob porter and rick dearborn. No, i went on vacation. You went on vacation. So you put the message in the safe, in your safe in your home for safekeeping, correct . Before you went on vacation . I took my kid to the beach than that was more a priority. Did you tell mr. Deesh born you would be fired if you didnt take the meeting. I cant disclose my discussions with the president or his advisors to protect president ial confidentiality. Corey lewandowski tweeted out the website for a potential 2020 senate bid. I think this fake russia collusion narrative is one of the greatest crimes committed against the American People ever. This president was duly elected by the American People and certain bodies in the government refuse to accept the election results. Catherine many argue that the democrats could have used the time better if they had called the Inspector GeneralMichael Horowitz to get him under oath about his recent findings about james comey that he violated Department Policies and he was also a leaker. Lou it was an amazing performance by the judiciary committee, otherwise an organization that you would expect something far more serious and productive. Joining us tonight is sidney powell. A former federal prosecutor. Its great to have you with us. Your reaction to this sort of sorry kind of pathetic spectacle today. Thats a polite way of putting it, lou it was an absolute circus and appalling. Im ashamed of our government and the way congress is operating right now. The special counsel had endless opportunity to investigate everything with the full cooperation of all the witnesses including mr. Lewandowski. To be subjected to this harassment and abuse again is nothing short of appalling and ridiculous. What a waste of money and time by our congress who hot to be doing something for the American People. Lou obviously that hasnt been their intent since seizing control of the house. I cant think of a single Committee Hearing that was seriously directed and focused on serving either the thanksal interest or the National Interest or the American People. Can you . No, i cant. That not what they have done at all. They continued this whole resistance operation. A total waste of time. Lou you know what i find disturbing is that republicans today were sitting there, and many of them were eloquent. And actually i thought did a reasonable job. But not one of them to me at least implied that they understand that this is a war with the Democratic Party that means to unseat a president. Means to overthrow him. Means to subvert every aspect of his agenda. They are talking as if this is political gamesmanship we are witnessing when it i the politics of personal destruction and they are willing to violate their constitutional oaths to betray the interests of their constituents in the name of ideology and a run in 2020 for power. You are absolutely right. I couldnt agree more. Lou what do you think the republicans should do . Is there relief in our courts . What should they do in response to what is the clear effort of the democrats that have become the party of hate where they are con front, harassing, and subverting this president s agenda at every turn . Im afraid its going to be difficult for them to do anything until the republicans regain control of the house. Then we have to hope they have enough spine to do something with it. One of the big problems we have seen is spineless republicans when they do have power still do nothing. Thats how we got into this mess in the first place. Lou its a difficult ask for the American People to trust the republicans to do the right thing if they dont just put them in office and control of the house, for example. But they do nothing when they have the responsibility and the provocation to do so right now. Sydney, its always great to talk with you. Appreciate it. Up next, more on Corey Lewandowskis testimony. Victoria toensing and joe digenova and matt gaetz. Its a shame you are here mr. Through juan zow d mr. L. Jim comey should be sitting there. He did so much damage to our country including not giving you the briefing you were entitled to. Lou the backlash against the times and two reporters who would have been best selling authors had they had their way. Well have that and more right after the break. Stay with us. Lou stock Prices Higher on wall street. The dows jones up 34 points. The nasdaq up 32. Crude oil down 6 to just over 59 a barrel. Gold closing flat. Boeing says china will become the Worlds Largest market for civil aviation. Boeing expects china to require 8,000 new aircraft by 2038. This is not new. Chinas potential to become the Worlds LargestAviation Market is well reported and well documented. Why today . Boeings forecast looks like nothing more than boeing pressure on the administration to relent or at least mitigate its tariffs against china. Surely not. A reminder. Listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. The New York Times reporters behind the latest smear effort on justice is brett kavanaugh. They are now blaming the New York Times editors. During the editing process there was an oversight and this key detail about the fact that woman herself told friends she doesnt remember it and has not wanted to talk about it got cut. I think the way it happened was the editors being concerned about naming her. The times has a tradition of not naming the victims answer you have to deliberate whether to do that. Lou that is an extraordinary exhibition. The reporters received quote too much is being made about the botched kavanaugh element of the story. Meanwhile cbss jan crawford tweeted what she calls the real bombshell. Saying ford fords friend from high school said she thinks fords story is unbelievable. President trump touting his efforts to the drain the swamp at last nights rally in new mexico. Particularly with regards to rinos, lots of rinos in the congress. President trump we have some republicans. You call them a rino. They are rinos. They are rinos or worse. Some of them are worse than the obama people. They are worse than the clinton people. But there arent too many of them left. They are pretty much on rest bring rad prettyysm on. Joining us, leading. Ed rollins, we have rinos in congress. The president is acknowledging it. Saying it out loud. And basically declaring for the republicans in congress and the senate, you better be a real republican and following this president or you will be in real trouble. The party is his party. He has overwhelming numbers of support. Lou 94 . Can you imagine that . Reagan and nixon in their prime were nowhere near that. If you want to be republican you have to support him. Everything hes talking about is mainstream. Its not radical its Strong National defense. Lou whats radical is a chamber of commerce, wall street, monied interests saying forget borders. We dont need borders. Leave them open. And dont worry about your jobs. Of the aflcio is supporting illegal immigration into this country without consequence to compete with the middle class and those who aspire to the middle class. Thats radical. Thats crazy. When someone gets nominated like he did and elected by the voters of the country. He gets to set the national agenda. These are things he promised when he ran. Lou he also believed weve shouldnt expect more of our corporate citizens and more of wall street. And we shouldnt expect more of boeing to understand there is a National Interest as well as their corporate interest. Do you think we should expect more of our National Media to talk about an opennive, interview of reality . I have been to too many corporate ceos offices. And they give money to everybody. The reality is lou i dont mind them giving money. Obviously they want the administration to give them a lot of stuff, including this. The press is just outstray just at this point in time. The New York Times story is the worst itch seen inning a long time. Lou every day we have seven or eight stories from the Washington Post attacking this president. On quota, on schedule and virtually factless. The reality of the story yesterday was totally dispute. The idea a woman who doesnt remember what happened is being used as the witness and she has not come forward . Lou by the way, this was reported by a year ago by Mollie Hemingway and carrie severino, justice on trial. The most of important book written last year. They reported it was Leland Keyser who would not substantiate the story of this. Now they are saying the bombshell in this new book by the two times reporters is the same thing they reported in their book, apparently, i hope they credited justice on trial, but i dont know that to be the case. I am sure integrity would require them to do so. They are not going to impeach him and intimidate him. Lou kavanaugh . Even dick durbin was sick to his stomac he puked sat what hes witnesses. You have several of the 2020 hopefuls, before they realized there was more to this story they were calling for his impeachment by god. The reality is its down to two or three candidates. The wall street poll has Warren Moving up on bind and its a twoway race at this time. My expectation is they are making biden the conservative of the Democratic Party, it shows you how far to the left they have gone. Lou the president wants to turn new mexico into a red state. Now hes in the heart of new mexico talking about recordlow unemployment for hispanics. The greatest formation of Small Businesses ever. I mean, new mexico has an extraordinary economy. Why would they vote for anyone who would endanger, jeopardize its a small state. A president can go in there and turn this around. It hasnt been ours since george bush won it in the last decade. Trying to turn california and new york around is difficult. But you can turn a state like this around. Lou five electoral votes. As he demonstrated last time, every one of them counts. Is he going to get it done . I think he will get it done. It comes down to a game of twohanded poker. The democrats have mrs. Wash as their candidate. He will have more voters than he got the last time. Lou there you have it, the rollins forecast for 2020. Senate dems ignore a key issue to u. S. Security as they call for more gun control. They dont known gun control. They mean gun grasping. They want con fis d confiscatio. Corey lewandowski before the house judiciary committee. How did it go . Listen. We have complete and total jurisdiction over immigration. All we have to do, if you want to fix the border put a bill up. But you dont want to do this. You like this. You want the press here and the cameras. I would be happy to have a conversation. Dont ask me a question if you dont want to hear my answer. Are you the hitman, the bagman, or al or all of the abo . I think i am a good looking man. Lou matt gaetz joins us right after this break with much more be stay with us. Lou attorney general william barr went to capitol hill. He met with senator ted cruz. They talked about Justice DepartmentGun Legislation proposal it sent to the white house. President trump took up that issue last nht in his rally in new mexico. He vowed to protect the second amendment. President trump leftwing democrats want to confiscate your guns and eliminate your godgiven right to selfdefense. You know that. As your president , i will never allow them to take away your liberty, your dignity, your social security. And i will never ever allow them to take away your sacred right to keep and bear arms. Lou our next guest was at the lewandowski hearing. Joining us, matt gaetz. Congressman, i want to say welcome to the broadcast. I want the audience if you can bear with us for a moment, to listen to you at some length. I thought this was a terrific statement. Lets listen to the congressman before we begin this interview. As an Inspector General employed by the United States government accused you of break the law. No. But they have done that with james comey, yet leadership of this committee will not bring james keepy before it even those Inspector General said his work impaired the credibility and efforts of 35,000 fbi agents and the brave people fighting for our country its a shame you are here. Jim comey should be sitting in that chair answering questions about why he did so much damage to our country including not giving you the briefing you were entitled to. Lou the briefing on russian interference in the 206 election. Congressman, you are exactly right. There seems to be no even embarrassment on the part of the radical dimms on that committee. They werent prepared. It was a bizarre atmosphere. And a purposeless hearing. I cant even imagine what they thought they could get out of this. Your thoughts. House democrats looked like the dog that caught the car that didnt know what to do with it. I thought Corey Lewandowski was fantastic and equipped himself very well. The House Democrats have launched an impeachment endeavor that the American People dont understand and House Democrats cant explain. We had contradictory statements. They are all pointing fingers at each other. Instead of relit getting wehat the Mueller Report and bringing actors in to read the Mueller Report. We have evidence we didnt have weeks ago. Inspector general pointed out the numerous occasions where jim comey operated outside of the law, and he did so in my opinion with corrupt purpose and corrupt intent because he wasnt trying to find out the truth about russia or their intentions. Instead he was trying to craft the medias narrative and depiction of President Trump in the most of negative possible way. Lou i thought there was a little too much comity in the committee today. You have got a chairman, some people are rationalizing saying hes afraid of potential primary opposition. But he is abusing his power. It is a farcical fiction to suggest that this president has committed anything that could rise to the level of serious impeachment. And yet he proceed. The republicans, you have all responded and i think with appropriate passion and point. But what are you going to do about this otherwise we are really saying to the American People, all you have to do if you dont like the person who has been elected president or if you want to go in an entirely different direction than the expression of the will of the people, just attack viciously with all the banality you can muster and scorch the earth and destroy your opponents. Thats the democratic initiative. The reason why thats so damaging to our democracy. Instead of debating issues like asylum reform. The democrats are trying to impeach. Its not enough that you and i talk about these things. Every bit of public polling suggests the American People would like to have the politicians move on to the crazy russia hoax. We have to have accountability for the people who went before secret courts and broke the law. I think democrats are actually harming themselves more than anything else. Lou dont worry about those democrats. I heard too many of your colleagues in the Republican Party trying to advise the Democratic Party. I wish they would start advising the Republican Party. And nothing less than fierce. You pointed out for two years on this show with republicans and democrats that paul ryan was standing in the way of our oversight efforts. Democrats today are handing out subpoenas like they are candy. You know how many subpoenas the Republican Congress issued . To drill down into this investigation . Zero. Any time we were closing in on brennan or clapper or comey, paul ryan would throw up obstructions to not allow us to get to the bottom of these issues. The reason we are behind today is not solely a consequence of the democrats. We need to look into the mirror and our former leadership let us down. Lou the president is talking about those rinos. And hes doing so in direct terms. Rinos are the fifth column in the Republican Party and no good will come of it if you insist in tolerating that kind of democrat. Because thats what they are. Do you agree . I agree for to us get the full benefit out of the donald Trump Presidency we need people who are going to embrace this president. We just swore . Two new members of the North Carolina delegation. Mr. Bishop said we have got to stand with this president. We have got to fight with this president because thats the way we can deliver the results that will ultimately bring the American People into full line with our agenda and political ambitions for the 2020 elections. It many different than the way paul ryan used to do things. We learned our lesson, we have taken our lumps. Now its time to go charge up the hill with our swords pointed straight ahead. Lou the sioux, let my enemy be worthy. Yours wont be, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt defeat them. We would like to hear your thoughts, share your comments. Up next. New indications that iran is to blame for attacks on saudi arabia. That may be not be that may not be a surprise. One of the men trump is said to be considering for the post of National Security advisor. National security advisor. Stay with us. Hey mom, i cant wait to tell you about today. I met a new friend. I know you always say im shy but i actually went up to her and we started talking. She even helped me to pick out flowers. She said shes glad we became friends. Its great to meet someone. Who really understands. She lost her dad last year. Here are the flowers we picked out for you, arent they beautiful . I really miss you mom. Taps, the Tragedy Assistance Program for survivors provides resources, support and comfort to heal the harts and meet the needs of grieving military families all at no cost to them. I love you. See you next week. Families never forget and neither do we. Show our military families that they are not alone. Help us at taps. Org family. Lou joining us, National Security expert, its great to have you with us its interesting that with this backdrop of provocations by iran, these are acts of war on any other scale, taking tankers, shooting down u. S. Drones. These attacks against the saudis which now has been confirmed originate in iran. Yet there isnt that drum beat for war that is often accompanied these revelations and events. What do you make of it . I think thats right. This is the 40th attack by iran since may, since mining of ships and trying to seize ships. This incident is extremely serious. At least 20 projectiles were fired. All of them were cruise missiles. It is an acts of war. President trump is talking to his advisors and look at intelligence. How the saudis wants to respond. I think it response has to be led by the saudis and the billions of dollars in military hardware we have sold to the saudis. Lou that apparently didnt help them one wit when there were 20 incoming projectiles. Only three of them were cruise missiles, the others perhaps drones or some other weapon. I dont know what the answer is, you may. They were patriot missiles pointed southward instead of northward. . They were defending against yellen. They were not defending against missiles fired from the north. That has against fixed. That shouldnt have happened in the first place. But i understand thats why this attack was possible. Lou im going to reserve my judgment on that based on press reporting. I understand the idea of defending one border versus another. I cant imagine with that one of the most of the most of important petroleumn facility in all the of saudi arabia not to be protected from all sides is stunning. Lets get to the issue of that to me is difficult for the president to resolve. He does not want to be the policeman, the United States to be the policeman of the world. We are not dependent on middle eastern oil, europe is, china is, other nations are. Why in the world should we take the lead in responding to an attack on the sovereign territory of saudi arabia . Thats a very good question. We know the president was elected to get us out of wars and not start new ones. But we have to stand with our allies. Lou i want to separate these two thoughts, if i may. I think conflating them is confusing. Well stand with our allies im sure in every instance. But we have voices in this country talking about how will the president respond to this . This was not an attack on the United States it was pane attack on our allies. Our allies have done nothing. I dont know what their options are. The saudis need to take the lead. The saudis should declare lou what is the direction we are going to see . Mike pompeo the secretary of state on his way to riyadh. Where are we here . We have iranian relationships with china. China buys a third of their oil. Russia, a political and military partner. What is the calculus here . I think first of all the saudis have to step up, but we have to make our case to oural lives that this is such a serious escalation in belligerence by iran that we need our allies not just in the persian gulf,. Lou europe does business with iran. Europe is pro iran. They were against the president s withdrawal from the Iranian Nuclear deal that was hoisted by president obama. Where are those allies, particularly in europe . The europeans are desperate to keep this nuclear deal alive. They are scrambling to keep it alive. I dont see how they can continue that argument after an act of war like this. It could lead to a saudi attack against iran. The time has to come for the europeans to abandon this terrible nuclear deal which is dead. They are doing it because they hate President Trump. These are the global he elitists. Lou the europeans believe the United States will play the fool and put our blood and pressure into that sand and not theirs. To this point they have been right. I think the british will stay with us. This attack was a game change. This was an act of war by a nation state. This is an unbelievable escalation. If the iranians get away with it, i think there will be major warfare. Maybe attacks on u. S. Bases and other countries in the region. Lou if they attack u. S. Bases, its another thing. Fred fleitz, i understand you were on the list of five being considered by the president. I understand also that hes considering others. But the original five. Your thoughts tonight on the possibilities. It would be an honor to serve. I think my top candidate is general keith kellogg. A friend of the president. I was honored to serve with the president before and i would be happy to do so again. Lou the cast of deep state characters lining up to defend andrew mccabe. This is a fascinating thing to watch. Andrew mccabe. Lots of deep state support. We take it up with attorneys Victoria Toensing and joe digenova. Well be right back with that. Here, it all starts with a simple. Hello hi how can i help . A data plan for everyone. Everyone . Everyone. Lets send to everyone [ camera clicking ] wifi up there . Ahhh. Sure, why not . Howd he get out . a camera might figure it out. That was easy glad i could help. At xfinity, were here to make life simple. Easy. Awesome. So come ask, shop, discover at your xfinity store today. Lou former obama officials reportedly lining up to testify in defense of disgrailsd and fired former fbi Deputy Director and onetime acting director andrew mccabe. Apokesman for mccabe released a list of witnesses. David cone, the number two at the cia. A Homeland Security advisor. But some highprofile names on the list have been removed from the original. Former characteristics a director john brennan. Former National Security advisor susan rice. Fan former attorney general eric holder we now are informed will not be testifying. Joining us, Victoria Toensing, the former Deputy Attorney general for the just first department. Joe digenova. The Founding Partners of the digenova and toensing law firm. Andrew mccabe most of of us are told hes awaiting indictment. But the deep state and the radical dimms lining up to support them. Its not surprising that his coconspirators might want to testify to help him out. When they get on the witness stand to give character testimony, here is going to be the first question from the prosecutors. I have in my hand a transcript of the meeting that mr. Mccabe and here is what he said about a criminal investigation under our laws. First we f flynn, then we f trump. Do you agree thats the way a criminal investigation should be conducted miss mccord or miss anybody. Thissers a fools end. They all deserve each other. Mccabe ought to appreciate how much better hes being treated by the Trump Administration than he treated general flynn. Flynn had one interview and it was a gotcha. Bill barrs Justice Department did not go to mccabe and say we are going after your son or corrupt wife who took money when she was running for the seat in virginia. And when mccabe lied he did it to cover up misconduct. And when flynn reportedly didnt tell the truth, hep. Lou how much are we going to be thanking bill barr ourselves . We seem to be something of a stasis. We are locked in this particular moment without apparent advancement of the prosecution of the people that we know we have the i. G. Reports, we have got documents, texts, emails. And th the things we dont he are just as compelling in terms of the guilt that they can be extrapolated. When is big bar going to move this thing ahead. We are bat an inflection point. D we are at an inflection point. The Durham Report and the horowitz report on the fisa abuse are all coming together one time. Bill barr is a strong willed individual. He will not be afraid to bring cases that need to be brought. And he will not afraid to say we dont have the horses on this. But the one thing he is going to do, when there is a public release of the declassified documents which i understand is very close to a partial release very, very shortly. I think hes going to lower the hammer in a public way that will be quite revealing to the American People. I am just not worried about the fact that we have some delay here. He has to do it without the usual help of the house. And of course he doesnt have the media. They already started to say, mccabe . Thats a political prosecution. Lou we are coming right back with joe and victoria. What ever happened to that old saying that people in Public Office had to repair to a higher standard of conduct and ethics than the rest of us. Well take that up right after the break. Great riches will find you when Liberty Mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Wow. Thanks, zoltar. How can i ever repay you . Maybe you could free zoltar . Thanks, lady. Taxi only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Lou an extraordinary moment at the end of the house judiciary hearing. Democrats changed the rules and said the staff can question. So there was a big fight over somebody hired as a consultant was really a staff person. After halfhour of questioning it was the republicans turn. Doug collins, the republican leader of the republicans on the committee well im going to be doing the questioning for the republicans. Nadler said no you arent. Staff has to do it. I wouldnt let a member of congress question. Lou we have problems in washington. Dont we . But luckily we have Victoria Toensing and joe digenova. Thanks so much. Thats it for us. Thanks for being with us. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night. Good night from new york. Lauren it is 5 00 a. M. Here are your top stories at this hour. How strong is the u. S.
