you said, juan. the census counts everybody in order to distribute power in washington, d.c. in nancy pelosi is objecting when she says it is trump that when certain voters and actually democrats don't want an accurate count because then it will display how many illegal immigrants are being counted for democratic leadership and democratic positions in washington, d.c. because most of them live in blue places. but it's not about racism or about making sure people answer the census because they are scared. it is about giving a political power because the census allocates and they want as many people as they can get legal or not. >> juan: wait a second. let me quickly respond to katie. katie it's not about adding but about subtracting. if you count everyone. >> katie: you mean illegal immigrants wouldn't be counted in washington, d.c.? >> juan: in other words, that is what the 14th amendment calls for. >> katie: used to allocate in washington, d.c., when they are not citizens of the country. >> juan: that is your issue but i'm just saying -- and this is why three federal judges hav

president's independence day plan for d.c. growing more heated tonight. but that might be overshadowed by breaking news from the justice department, kristin fisher covering it all for us tonight, high hi, kristen. a dramatic less than full 24 hours ago president trump to link the 2020 census after the supreme court temporarily blocked the administration from adding a question to the census about citizenship. now, the administration is standing down. just moments ago, president trump tweeted "a very sad time for america when the supreme court of the united states won't allow it, is this a person of the united states? to be on the 2020 senses." i've asked the department of congress and the department of justice to do whatever is necessary to bring vital questions and very important case to a successful conclusion. but the commerce secretary said earlier today that they have already started printing the sentences without that citizenship question on it. despite that setback president trump has to be very pleased with the massive fund-raising hole his campaign announced earlie

of force back in washington, d.c. >> everybody knows we're the most powerful country in the world physically. we're losing our standing in the world and i just think we should celebrate freedom. we should celebrate why we're the people we are. doesn't surprise me. >> kamala harris here in iowa made a splash by once again referring to president trump at an event as a predator and like the vice president, joe biden, who she dressed down during the first debate, she doesn't think much of the salute to america back in d.c. >> instead of that i don't think he understands this is america's birthday is not his birthday. this president is prepared to send our troops to various places around the world. most recently iran. what i would ask is he think about -- he wants to have a military parade, what about military families? >> mayor pete buttigieg will be part of a parade at storm lake, iowa's event and he is drawing upon his experience now as a veteran to inform his opinion about the big parade president trump is hosting. >> not a show of strength, it's a show of insecurity. think about t

offensive body odor in congress. there is a swamp down there in d.c. in the summertime there are a lot of congressmen with a few extra pounds. this seems easy to break. >> it's the library of congress. congress would never make a rule that bands their own body odor. it's the library of congress. if you have sufficiently offensive body odor or any offensive personal hygiene you can go to prison for that if you interfere with other people using the lie prayerive. the library of congress has been a beacon for other libraries and if they can million at a range of two feet you will probably be looking for and citation. >> you can't ride a manatee *. and be careful in the national parks. mike, thanks very much. coming up, the party bros are back with their thoughts on independence day. stick around. jesse: on this july 4 weekend americans are celebrating our independence with barbeques, burgers and american hot dogs. americans will consume around 150 million hot dogs this weekend. that's enough to stretch between l.a. and d.c. more than five times. here to fill us in on how they celebrat

it. the president tweeted about the big plan. he said "big fourth of july in d.c., salute to america, the pentagon and our great military leaders are thrilled to be doing this and showing to the american people among other things the strongest and most advanced military anywhere in the world. incredible flyovers and biggest

hostile, un-american, military takeover. there you go. but the democratic mayor of washington, d.c., echoed those concerns, saying she hopes this is not a show of force to our own people. and, of course, this is not the first military parade in washington, d.c. there are the pictures. john f. kennedy rolled out tanks and missiles and soldiers for his inauguration in 1961. massive military display. so did president eisenhower, cheered on the lengthy military procession honoring his second inauguration. so much for history. joining us now with more on tomorrow's event is white househ principal deputy press secretary hogan gidley. hogan, great to talk to you, one is tempted to conclude that to the left and the mainstream media, which is redundant, i realize, have no clue about american history and tradition. they seem to have forgotten that we secured our independence, that we celebrate tomorrow, through military force. you know, general washington in the continental congress, that little thing called the revolutionary war, so what is your take? >> look, it is pretty clear at this poi

people who spent their lives d.c. i know you spent your life in d.c. the people who spend their time in d.c. who work on republican campaigns, who work at conservative think tanks, this isn't true of every body, a lot of them don't like the people who are voting for a public end. if you ultimately boil down the never trump phenomenon, i was very critical of the president in the campaign, but the never trump phenomenon is not about the president, it's about the people who are most excited about somebody who was antielitist, effectively taking over the republican party, they recognized that trump was, whatever his faults, a person who instinctively understood who republicans needed to be for. at the end of the day, they didn't necessarily want the republican party to be for those folks. they do not like the policies that come from it, they do not like the country that would come from it, so there's a lot of vitriol directed at people who voted for donald trump, whether excitedly or not. >> tucker: a u.s. combat veteran lost all four of his limbs fighting in afghanistan. he still servin

for america's 243rd birthday but all eyes on washington, d.c. that is where president trump held the "salute to america" celebration. thousands came out to the national mall despite the rainy weather. each branch of the military celebrated on ground and in the sky. the president using the lincoln memorial as a backdrop praised all american heroes past and present. he made no mention of his agenda or his re-election campaign. and hours before his address, secret service says they arrested two people for burning the american flag near the white house. no 4th of july would be complete without fireworks. after his speech, the president and the first lady watched a spectacular display out on the west lawn of the capitol. i'm aishah hasnie. back to tucker. >> tucker: the 2020 democratic president of candidates made it known what they want the most, illegal immigrants, radically extending the border, taking away the second amendment, helping families thrive is way down in their agenda present at all, but accidentally democratic candidates stumble ea the right idea. elizabeth warren may have

[laughter] >> thanks, leland. leland: safe travels to swamp. thank you, sir. kristin: time for reaction from the other side of the aisle courtesy of member of the house oversight committee mark green. congressman, i'll start by getting your response to something that congressman ruled da said. he believes bob mueller is a patriot and, therefore, he may go outside the bounds of his report when he testifies next week, something that mueller has said repeatedly that he will not do. what do you think? do you think mueller will stick to what's in his report, or will he go beyond it? >> i think that's ridiculous. thanks for having me on the show. he's done this exhaustive report for the judiciary, for the justice department, and he's suddenly going to provide more details? that would either admit that he failed in doing a comprehensive report, or he was intentionally trying to, you know, do something like that. it's ridiculous to think that he's going to come up with more details than he did in a two-year investigation and an official report to the

filing in federal court here in d.c., they're saying we want all the grand jury information underlying the mueller report. now doug collins, a ranking republican on the house judiciary committee said the d.c. circuit said you can't get this information. it's not going to come to you. democrats want to convince their base that they're we'ded to the impeachment but a baseless legal claim is an odd way to show that. john, is it baseless? >> i don't think it's baseless in the judiciary committee wanted to continue investigating president trump, it has to do it under the guise of impeachment power. the only baseless in the sense that they're not allowed to have grand jury information. under the rules that protect grand jury secrecy, complying with a subpoena is not one of the exceptions. that doesn't prevent them from getting the information they want by calling all the same witnesses that the mueller investigation called for war and asking them the same questions. >> a lot of people are asking and seeing the filing by jerry nadler, basically they have to represent that they're i

, d.c., on both sides of the aisle. the congresswomen think that they are smarter and more virtuous than the rest of -- then ordinary americans, and they think that -- i think secretary clinton, during the campaign, called us "deplorables." the congresswomen think that only more government can make america great. government has never made america great, it's ordinary people doing extraordinary things that has made america great. i would also point out that calling someone a racist has become customary here in washington, d.c.? i don't think you see it in the rest of america. i listen to the democratic debates. if you don't support school busing you're a racist. if you believe in enforcing america's laws, including but not limited to its immigration laws, you're a racist. if you believe that america should stand up for itself, you're a racist. if you don't support reparations because you think it's a policy that makes no sense and can't be efficiently or effectively implemented, you're a racist. and most of the ordinary americans i know, they are not racist, and they are not misogyni

put tanks in downtown washington, d.c. >> alicia: i want to put up something on the screen here. this is from "washington post" headline marc thaoesen made his opponents look small. >> you wouldn't expect any democratic hopefuls to praise the president. you heard a couple of references to tanks in washington which raised a lot of concerns before the event that the president was going to have tanks rolling down the street and perhaps declare martial law or something. if fact, there have been tanks at a number of ceremonies in washington, d.c. in the past. in 1957, 1961, 1991 for various occasions not just the gulf war victory parade but for inaugurations as well. it wasn't as unusual as some of the critics said. and i think in the end the tanks didn't play a very big role in the whole thing. as you mentioned, the real star of the show were those flyovers, especially the stealth bomber flyover which seemed to get a lot of admirers. >> alicia: does the president need to answer for any of these concerns that were brought up, national parks picking up part of the tab. anything like that? d

right in this country and contrast our approach with the approach coming out of washington, d.c. >> laura: that gravelly voice of his does not make him any more persuasive.of what's right, he said? is he kidding us? all right. gavin, you have runaway homelessness in your state, a total crisis right now. most notably in san francisco and l.a. it's creating filthy and infectious conditions for californians and especially those low income citizens who don't send their kids to fancy private schools. >> for some reason, the state and in particular the local officials of southern california and los angeles, the city council, the mayor, refusel to acknowledge what this is. in meantime, they perpetrate a hoax and i cannot explain why. >> laura: the government led by newsom is so pathetic at addressing this crisis that businesses in l.a. are now planting thorny plants and other stuff around their buildings to try to keep the homeless away. why californians keep voting in these destructive and delinquent politicians is completely beyond me. my friends, it's all a democrat-induced disaster

government but everything controlled from washington d.c. the democrats don't want limited government. they want endless, relentless intervention by an all-knowing, all seeing all-powerful state. here's perhaps the biggest change from the democrats of the past. today's democrats don't even want the most vital elements of the american inheritance, the rule of law. at that first presidential debate, almost all of the 2020 candidates back to the decriminalization of illegal immigration. on wednesday, cory booker asked escorted migrants toward the border himself, even president obama's former homeland security secretary now says the democrats are effectively for open borders. the democrats point to the statue of liberty and say immigration control is un-american. they forget one vital thing, it's not just liberty, it's liberty under the law and it is there latent assault on the rule of law that is truly un-american. let me end on a personal note about america. i'm an immigrant just as my parents were in england after they fled communism in hungary. i've always been pro- immigration. how can i b

washington, d.c., good morning, kevin. >> you saw what the president tweeted over the weekend f detention centers are too crowded he said, listen, tell them don't come to usa this way, tell democrats to fix loopholes and problem solved. use ports of entry or stop in third country to stop for asylum or come and apply the legal way, all right, here is a look at the numbers of removals under each president, keep in mind presidents clinton, bush and obama had 8 years, president trump pace of 400,000 which sort of does explode this media narrative despite purnl bluster nevertheless the enforcement actions will continue, ice looking to remove as todd pointed out thousands of illegal aliens who have been ordered to leave but ignored our laws, here is ken. it's become news that they would actually go deport people who have removal orders. >> there's the key there, who have removal orders, in capitol hill, democrats say this isn't as simple of enforcing the law, humane of people that escape violence and many seek a better life. >> you know, a lot of families in our country that are mixed

made possible, as it usually is, by complete ignorance, not knowing anything helps. washington, d.c., was battered by flash floods monday morning after the city received about 4 inches of rain in barely two hours. ocasio-cortez quickly exploited the tragedy by tweeting that the flooding was the fault of republicans from the implement in her green your deals. she was quickly rebuked by actual meteorologists. one of them tweeted this. "first a tornado and a flash flood? the congressman does not miss the opportunity this is not climate." author of the "climate chronicles," joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. does the congresswoman have a grip on the science? >> that's almost impossible to answer given the things that she does. she has weaponized the weather. you just mentioned my book, the longest chapter in the book is on the weaponization of the weather. sometimes, tucker, i think they took that and after they burn the book, they decided let's just double down and weaponize it. every single event is being used like this and it's going to be continue to be used. i will tell you wh

. >> brian: tomorrow president trump will hold a military parade through the streets of washington d.c. he was inspired by similar parades in france. but politicians say president trump wants to be a want-to-be dictator. >> this was about bolstering himself up, looking like a dictator from another nation. >> this is what third world dictators do. >> we hope we never see the spectacle of our military force being on display as a show of force to our own people. >> instead of addressing veteran homelessness, he's boosting his ego with a parade that is about him. >> it's not who we are as americans. we don't thump our chest and put tanks in the street. >> this is dangerous. fundamentally un-american. >> it's always a threat when your roll out your military. it's to whom is a threat. i suspect the threat to his fellow americans. i hate to say that. donald trump styles himself a tyrant. >> brian: exactly. exactly like that horrible tyrant called president dwight d. eisenhower. this other person called john f. kennedy. he was a terrible man. he had a fleet week with military flyovers that go

takenment in d.c. -- establishment in d.c. we saw a war in iraq and afghanistan and war in iran. you hear the rhetoric of limited strikes and some say sink the iranian navy. once a war starts it escalates and we have no idea how it will turn out. >> tucker: and progressives are on board. not all of them. but many liberals are on. bill crystal. i read this show was criticized as racist for opposing a war in iran. what is the thinking there? >> well, you tell me. how are they figuring you are racist? i am not familiar with that one. >> tucker: i wasn't either. but it was another illustration of the consensus on the left which is that it's okay to start a war with iran. no real power balance anymore. why? >> the president seems clear he doesn't want a war. he said that and took steps to make that a reality. pulling back on the drone shoot down and not doing something crazy when that happened. the only encouraging news this weeks that rand paul was appointed as an emissary to the iranians. that's encouraging. i think that's what we have to pin our hopes on. the president has a sense not to dr

reporting live from d.c. katherine? >> democrats say the subpoena go to the heart of the obstruction of justice allegation. they say they're important witnesses because they have first hand knowledge of the acts or what they call fact witnesses. >> so they're not underlings, they're direct witnesses to crimes. mr. mueller will testify, too. he had four or five instances of obstruction of justice, minute all three elements were met. >> as you mentioned, those under subpoena include current and former administration officials, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein with the first hand knowledge of firing of james comey, john kelly, former national security adviser, mike flynn, the president adviser jared kushner as well as you mentioned david pecker from american media who is connected to the so-called hush money payments. meantime, republicans accused democrats of putting the cart before the horse and issuing the subpoenas absent significant negotiations to secure the witness testimony. >> this is not a new issue. the courts consistently back the presidency. that congress tried to sub
