and why lie to congress and the court? the whole thing 0 sense. and trying to put a smiley face and it is garbage. >> lou: it is such garbage and unintelable. i couldn't go beyond the first page. comey carrying out disinformation campaign and using the congress and the american people as stage props. that is appalling. >> just think about it. fbi director has a press conference and a public event and said hey, g, we can't get in to iphones f. that is true, why would he make that statement, and reveal an intelligence gap. he had reason to know that technical people were not able. but if they were not the nsa could. you do a request. we have dead americans killed by savage terrorist and we are not playing patty cake and talk about what we might be able to do. and we need to find out the killers and go after them. >> and another incident. but it presidenty on the part of the agency. nmoteen was a decade fbi informant. what in the world was going on that they didn't know what he was up to and his family was up to. >> and to make it sure. down there wh

but it is probably not going to happen because congress is slow-footed. look at how long they waited. they issued these subpoenas in august, eight months ago. lou: they were to produce the documents five months ago. that was when they first issued the order. >> right. lou: and now we're looking at an extension from the first -- the original date was last week and now we're talking about tomorrow. >> they should have moved for contempt five months ago at the deadline. if you don't meet the deadline, lou, or i don't meet the deadline, we're held in contempt of court and they through us in the hug jail within 24 hours. lou: when the american people watch this and there is no contempt of congress filed against the justice department, the fbi leadership and they don't stand up for a president who is working harder than anyone in washington. >> right. lou: there's going to be hell to pay. >> well the approval rating of congress hovers right around 11%, 12% and there's a good reason for that. they deserve it. lou: i suspect it's a little inflated. greg, thanks s

let me ask you, what should congress do? they have now a rogue justice department and fbi. not meeting the constitutional congressional demands of oversight. >> it's a no brainer. they should hold rosenstein and wray in contempt of congress fan they don't move to pro dpiewls documents, they should impeach both of them. forget going to court to even 40s subpoena. they have the power to hold them in contempt, impeach them and remove them from office. this is arrogance of a type and kind and degree we have never seen from people in the fbi and justice department. rosenstein and wray should be ashamed of themselves but their arrogance is so high and so great that they aren't. >> now we have to teach the american people how to fight. lou: we know you >> i tried to convey to him what could be done using social media in the future. >> is he going to behave like an adult or give me this phony baloney with hoodies and dungarees. tranter birkin this morning, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg talks about us privacy scandal. we'll take a look at its upcoming prepared testimony and what lawm

republican member of congress to announce his retirement today. dennis ross says he's leaving after eight years to return to his legal career. a total of 25 republican house members have announced their retirement this year, just ten democrats. facebook ceo mark zuckerberg back on capitol hill today, once again sort of testifying but certainly not under oath, telling congressional lawmakers that even though his own data was compromised by cambridge analytica, he said we need to be careful about overregulation. >> was your data included in the data sold to the malicious third parties, your personal data? >> yes. so my position is not that there should be no regulation. but i also think you have to be careful about what regulation you put in place. regulation by definition puts in place rules that a company that is larger, that has resources like ours can easily comply with but that might be more difficult for a smaller startup. lou: a monopoly. this is really striking. zuckerberg leading a monopoly is thinking about protecting inn innovators who co

congress needs to debate these issues. keep us here over the weekend. >> congress is not expected to be here over the weekend. we will see when lawmakers return next week whether there's appetite to debate and ultimately vote on a new authorization for the use of military force or whether law makers prefer to look the other way and allow the commander-in-chief to do what he feels is necessary. >> mike emmanuel live for us on capitol hill tonight. rich edson tracking developments at the state department where we're getting reaction at this hour from now russia and syria. listen, they have been called out. iran as well by this president. what are we hearing tonight? >> absolutely. in particular we've been watching the reaction from the russian government is. they claim that these strikes are an attack against them. now, syria right now is the battleground for a number of different conflicts, and a few proxy wars that are ongoing there. russia and iran are aligned with the assad regime there essentially keeping it in power. t

he has lied to congress under oath. he is a weekend untruthful slimeball who time has proven was a terrible director of the fbi. his handling of the crooked hillary cleansing of the crooked hillary cleansing case and the events surrounding it will go down as one of the worst of botched jobs in history. it was my great honor said the president to fire james comey. today an inspector general report confirmed everything president trump's said about mccabe over the past six months but look at the fbi or remarks. here's a sample of what he said. just eight months ago. special agent andrew mccabe stood tall over the last eight months when small people were trying to tear down the institution will depend on. he served with distinction for two decades. i wish andy well. i also wish--for the rest of the fbi. america needs you. and even comey can see in his book now that none of the presidents actions amounted to obstruction or illegality. he wrote this. i have one perspective on the behavior i saw with regard to the president wh

but congress is slow footed. they issued these subpeona in august, eight months ago. >> lou: they were torproduce the documents five months ago when they issued the order and are now, we are looking at an extension here from the first date of last week. >> they should have moved from contempt. if you don't meet the deadline or i don't meet the deadline, we are held in contempt of court and they through us in 24 hours. >> lou: when the american people watch this, and there is no contempt of congress filed against the justice department or fbi leadership. and they don't stand up for a president who is working harder than anybody in washington, there will be hell to pray. >> the approval rating of congress hovers around 11 percent. there is a reason for that. >> lou: i suspect that is inflated. thank you so much. paul ryan under pressure to surrender the speaker's gavel. ed rollins called it last night and hands go here... feet go here... you know what goes here... and your approval rating... goes here. test drive t

what business do they have keeping from congress the documents that congress is entitled to, this is a cause for impeachment. lou: the responsibility of congress under constitution to be an oversight over justice department. and in idea that comey and mueller, rod rosenstein and others are statin stated startit created a chorus of we're an independent agency we don't report to anyone, they are a rogue department, and agency. >> more than that, i think, my husband and i have been saying if for some time now, there was a ca-- to clear hillary clinton she don didn't get indictment. if that did not work to frame donald trump. and look how that happened. framing. lou: as stark and as struck and page -- strzok and page pointed out that was the insurance policy, it clear that cabal was formed during obama administration, set in motion by president obama in my judgment, and his attorney general then. eric holder, who by the way, i -- you talk about the essence of self righteous, and hypocritical, and deceitful. holder sitting there, criticizing this justice department for any reason is gag-w

but again, it's also congress' -- congress has not really exercised oversight for decades. and it's a few people. it's goodlatte, nunes who are finally exercising the oversight as they should have done for decades on the hill. lou: i think truly it's only nunes. goodlatte is a latecomer to the issue and he is also an early exiter from this congress, retiring. it is without devin nunes and solely nunes among those true, it is truly to nunes that we owe a great debt for continuing to search for the truth and serving the constitution by insisting on oversight. no one else has had those guts. >> lou, the republic owe as great debt to nunes. that goes without saying. you're absolutely right. lou: as we look at talks with the north koreas at the highest level, as the president put. we've seen president xi defer, at least seem to defer publicly as kim jong-un is talking about sitting down with the president and having serious discussions at a summit. the president's actions in syria. this president is manifestly in charge of foreign policy and the counter walling that we once hear

in the 115 congress, we've left a lot of meat on the bone. we should still be fighting to repeal obamacare, fighting for spending cuts and welfare reform, fighting with this president to getting the money to build the wall. i'm looking for a speak who can be a leader on those things and won't hand all of the power over to chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell but will fight for the conservative principles that can get it electedded and right now i don't see that happening. just this week we gave back a legislative day instead of staying in town and fighting for this president's agenda and that is deeply disturbing to me. lou: how soon would you like to see that election and is there an appetite in the congress to see that election very very soon. >> i don't know when it will be but the ideas will matter more than the personalities. and we've got to have a fighting experience in the speaker's chair and i'm hopeful we'll get somebody that can lead the congress with that sense of purpose. lou: i think you should be fair for speaker ryan. he fought d

our first guest one of 11 members of congress who sign a letter to attorney general jeff sessions urging him to large criminal investigations into james comey, hillary clinton, lisa page. and other members of obama administration, we're joined by a arizona representative paul gosar. before we get to your criminal referral letter, your reaction to news that mccabe is increasingly likely to face criminal charges not once but four times for lying. if it happens, that way, would to be good for the rule of law? >> absolutely, we have seen, is that everything in deep state and in department of justice involved in this got a pass, the rest of us and people like general flynn were held to a different standard. this good that rats are paying a consequence. >> about 10 days ago we got word that president trump had been told in mueller investigation he is not a target. now word today in cohen investigation, president is not a target there either. does it increasing let's look to you, as though there is no evidence of collusion. and collusions not a crime. and that there is probably no obstruction i

are congress contemplating our contempt of congress for the justice department and the attorney general, and ultimately impeachment? if indeed niece documents are not provided? >> the idea they question thousands of documents and they are not getting it. one thing that's very important for viewers to know. the justice department and fbi are not independent agencies. they are part of the executive branch of the government. >> here is the president saying turn it over to congress. ed: there shouldn't be any issue here. the trucks are lined up to take them over there. lou: we talk about the deep state and its attempted subversion of him and his presidency. this is subversion embed in the justice department and fbi and it will have to be road out. ed: let's do it. lou: up next china imposing tariffs and the business media looked at the markets and went nuts. find out why the hysteria is miss placed, overdone and as usual fake. that's next. mom? dad? hi! i had a very minor fender bender tonight in an unreasonably narrow fast food drive thru lane. but what a powerful life lesson. and don't wo
