with president trump has now passed. so far the justice department is once again stonewall congress. and refused to turnover the documents. we'll have the full report and discuss deep state forces that be on truck the -- obstruct the president, now poll show that democratic forecast of a so-called blue wave sweeping over midterms may have been optimistic, with latest polling showing they are hotly and closely contested. dems losing 75% of the midterm support since january in polling. all because of president trump's soaring economy and his american first agenda. and yes, president trump's personal improving poll numbers, that is much more right here tonight. >> our top story, the james comey interview. his petty sniping and deeply torture the sense of moral superiority on full display, we have a lot of strange cuts from a strange interview, one stands apart, comey telling abc's george stephanopolous how the comey family was devastated by hillary clinton's loss in the presidential elected. rarely does an interviewee say so much about his perspective, his values, his state of mind in

the department of justify or the leadership and congress as to who can be involved in this investigation. this is corruption as its worst. >> we raised that in congress, you look at andrew wiseman, not only a democrat and a checkered reputation, he was at hillary clinton's election party and made derogatory comments about trump before the special counsel started. why would you put somebody like this on this? this is the problem with all of this at this point. you have half of the people who voted for donald trump who will not have confidence in this thing. that confidence is shot. i think it is doing a lot of damage to the country at this point. >> lou: that damage could be specific and much broader base that half of the country. we have a president who is contending with so many perils from so many directions in foreign policy. it is extraordinary. i frankly paul ryan and mitch mcconnell are nothing more than stooges of k- state and business commerce and roundtable of this country and they are behaving a-bombinably. >> there are all. documents we asked for a long time two-

rosenstein are aligned with the deep state and stone walling congress's constitutional demands. a dozen republican law makers filed against the clenton. and law makers want the justice department and fbi to open criminal investigations on james comey and andrew mccabe and loretta lynch and former secretary of state hillary clinton. and among the issues obama administration's handling of the information. congressman matt ghats who joins us here tonight and also james comey resorting to playing the victim as he tries to cash in with his self involved book tour. comey lamenting today it is painful, painful to relive his time in the fbi and he's physically drained by all of the work that goes into promoting his book. comments like these may be part of the reason that president trump calls comey the worst fbi director in history and president trump just moments ago, wrapping up his new's conference with japanese prime minister. they discuss the summit between president trump and kim jong-un and revelation that cia director mike pompeo travelled to north korea to meet with and i am establish

about comey's testimony to congress. lou: thank you very much. our first guest tonight, one of 11 republican lawmakers urging criminal nstles gaition investir comey, clinton and others, leading the charge of the deep corruption of the top echelons. joining us tonight, congressman matt gates. he serves on key committees, including judiciary and budget. you want to see what's going on with the obama justice department and fbi to clean up the mess at the fbi, comey and mccabe included in that list of targets, not subjects, targets of those investigations. what are the odds that you will -- that this recalcitrant stone walling justice department will respond. >> you've asked the operative question. and my concern is in the absence of a second special counsel, we'll have the department of justice investigating themselves. but if they're going to do that, in congress we want to be specific about the crimes that we believe have been committed. when investigators determine the outcome of an investigation before conducting the interviews for political purposes, the risk is that they themse

going to congress. >> lou: the left was upset on all of them. >> not bombing libia. this is what the issue is, lou, everyone is attacking trump. >> lou: you are attacking trump. >> you attack the president when he doesn't keep his promise. >> lou: it is, america. >> being wrong on the constitution is not what i am doing. he is right on the constitution. and why all. actions to the chief executive. >> lou: you talked about the president like he broke every promise. >> no, i am clear. i am glad you are talking. >> lou: i have a very good idea of what the powers of the president is. >> i would like on commend you and this is the problem with trump keeping his promises on immigration with peter nvaro. you have peter nvaro and ross giving good advice. no one in immigration is giving good advice. they want amnesty dreamers. >> lou: someone must convince this president that daca is not a democratish. who ever is advising him that hispanic and immigrants will convert to at this time republican party. first of all they would have to drink with paul ryan and that is a absolute fool. and th

the reason is because congress has failed to act on proposals to reform our asylum system on requests for money for the homeland security to deal with the situation at the border the asylum system has been out of control since about 2010 or 2011 when obama policies essentially imposed a catch and release system for asylum-seekers and the number of asylum applications has gone up 18 times since then and combined with the slow walking of cases through the immigration courts that is justin described has cause basically dysfunction in our immigration courts. but it doesn't have to be this way. there are a lot of things that the president could do to try to stave this off. it's a challenge to our system and he needs to meet it. lou: we will get to that in the line itself, that order. brandon border patrol officers are simply not able to do what needs to be done to control the traffic crossing the border. the president talking about catch and release and these are absolutely absurd policies that have been put in place from previous administrations. what is the solution here from th

justice needs until mid-week to decide whether to release the documents to congress. ron desantis urging the department of justice to stop the stone wall and obstruction. fired fbi director james comey on his book tour today playing the victim and not happy with the prospect of consequences for lying and leaking. the president talking about some of those consequences. comey avowts some of trump's assertions he could be jailed not normal. not normal? pretty basic. judicial watch suing for comey documents. and president trump revealing his administration is holding high-level talks with north korea about the prospect of talks between the president and kim jong-un. president trump says those negotiations will determine whether he meets kim. >> we'll probably be, depending on various meetings and conversations we'll be having meetings with kim jong-un very soon. it will be taking place probably in early june or before that. assuming things go well. it's possible things won't dough well and we'll just have the meetings and we go along the strong path we have taken. lou: north korea set

corruption. the department of justice failing still to turn over documents to congress on the clinton email probe, fisa abuse scandals and a whole lot more. alan dershowitz and chris farrell of judicial watch will join me next. we begin with our top story. president trump accusing china of taking advantage of this country. administration threatening china with $100 billion in tariffs in addition to the $350 billion already announced. john roberts has our report. >> tariffs against chinese and u.s. goods are months away from being implemented. the wild gyrations are driven by nothing more than speculation about what might happen. no one knows for sure about what will happen but clearly the stakes are growing higher. the proclamation from president trump that he's thinking with tariffs on a hundred million a chinese goods took them by surprise. >> when did the president tell you he was going to initiate another $100 billion in tariffs. >> last evening. reporter: an escalating brinksmanship. >> we already lost the trade war. we don't have a trade war. for many years whether it's clinton

threats of impeachment and contempt of congress against them. rosenstein this afternoon decided to permit house republican to actually look at the two-page memo authored by anti-trump peter strzok that was the pretext of the original mandate of the russian collusion probe. but it took eight months of stone walling, the threats of subpoena, contempt of congress and impeachment to get to this point. congressman matt gates says rosen sphien should be fired for his corrupt behavior. e joins us here tonight. >>> also, russia's navy responding to the president's warning that u.s. missile wills be heading to syria. 11 russian ships reportedly leaving a port in syria on the move. we take up the potential for confrontation tonight with general jack keane. >>> and paul ryan says he will finally retire after months of obstructing and subverting the trump administration. what will pelosi and schumer do without their strongest ally in the republican leadership. we apparently are about to find out >>> our top story tonight, fox news confirming that the chairman of the house intelligence committee, devi

before congress, it seems. it turns out his so-called good friend to whom comey leake leakd those memos is much more than a professor. daniel richman worked for comey as the so-called special government employee. richmond has a security clearance and access to fbi buildings. wwe'll have a full report on reu in minutes. >>> the deep state judiciary striking again. a third federal district court judge ordering the president of the united states to reinstate daca. these federal court judges now seem to be trying to run the country's immigration policies. is this really what our founders had in find in the bush-appointed judge imperiously overruling home security and capriciously rule that obama's executive order take takes prect over president trump's executive order. that is the kind of nonsense that passes for legal reasoning in many of our federal courts. we'll take up the need to roll up the deep state judiciary. andy bigg and former trump aide dr. sebastian gorka joining us tonight. >> republicanscrashing democratic hopes of defeating republicans in a wave election this year. in

past year he has a difficult time talking straight especially before congress. the good friend that comey leaked is much more than a professor at a law school. he also worked for comey as a special government employee. richmond had security clearance and full access to the fbi building. and also the deep state judiciary striking again the third federal district court judge ordering the president to reinstate daca. far more than activist judges. they seem to be trying to run the immigration policy. the bush appointed judge overruling homeland security and capriciously ruling that obama's executive order took precedence over president trump's executive order. that is the in the federal court. and republicans crush democrat's hopes. instead republicans won the arizona 8 congressional street in last night's special election. we take up the desperate dems and ronna mcdaniel joins us tonight. and james comey's judgment and his conduct. and the law professor that comey used to leak sensitive information to the media previously worked as a special fbi employee. catherine herridge as the rep

compelled the department of justice and the fbi to give documents to not only congress, but to make sure that our oversight committees can do the proper work. today there was a noon deadline, and that noon deadline came and went with no additional documents being delivered. the only thing that was delivered was a phone call. and i just find that justin beyond reasonable in terms of the oversight responsibility that we have in congress. it's time that we get to the truth and the more details that come out, the more troubling the narrative is. trish: certainly unsettling. let me turn to our border right now. >> sure. trish: it's our understanding that this caravan has broken up which is good, but, you know, it's still concerning that we're getting reports that the number of people that are seeking asylum has grown significantly, significantly. and i've got those numbers i'll share with you. but also the fact that we have a 200% surge in the month of march, congressman, in terms of people that are trying to get into this cup. why all of a sudden? -- this country. why all of a sudden? >> i t

catherine. >> reporter: congress is having trouble of getting records despite the assurances of the fbi. nunez was denied the july 2016. nunez wanted a clean cop ep without redakzs. and the memopen was likely drafted by peter strzok or with his input. strzok was removed after anti- trump messages were discovered. they told fox today that the bureau could share but skip if there is sensitive information because even the bureau requires over sight. >> it is not like they couldn't give them all of the information. when you see the inspector general's report you will see why they are hiding thyself things and the different things that they are not proud of. >> reporter: there is a delay for a clean cop ep and the existing chairman may put out subpoenas. there was no idea response. but we'll bring it to you if we get new information. >> lou: thank you, catherine, we look forward to that. joining us is congressman ron desantos on the foreign affairs and judiciary and one. largest committee portfolios. and congressman, good to have you with us. first your reaction to the mueller team statement
