congress didn't vote for the deal. you had the obscure corker position that allowed harry reid to filibuster the deal. so the majority of the congress was oh bowed to it. it just got caught in a senate filibuster. had those been exposed i think it would have been voted down even if the filibuster. lou: i think it's fair to call it the corker complicity. his role is shameful for both country and his party. but there is a lot of that to go around in this deal because there were just so many people so quiet in congress and the senate who knew better and still let it go ford. let's turn if we may to north korea, the south korean president moon saying president trump deserves, if this deal is done between north and south korea, he deserves the nobel peace prize. >> if we denuclearize the korean peninsula, it will be the greatest achievement since the wall of the berlin wall and the cold war. all of his predecessors had the same approach. pretend the problem doesn't exist, don't do anything about it and hope it go away. it w

way bigger than donald trump or the current members of congress. it's ensuring the leader of this country is picked by the people and not by the bureaucrats and folks in washington d.c.. trish: this concern about the deep sea and how deep it is an encased we may be learning right now in the present that it's pretty deep. let me ask you what you are doing to fix some of this because i know you've been very active on that front. you are calling for a lot of investigations. you'd like to see them get a little bit more and the case of a special counsel. where do you stand on this? >> we ever furred andrew mccabe for criminal prosecution and the good news it appears that referral was taken favorably and there will be a u.s. attorney investigation into andrew mccabe's conduct. there's also the investigation of hillary clinton that i believe is currently occurring at the little rock office dealing with the uranium one transaction and i'm hopeful that we'll get unadulterated facts from those folks doing the important work and also you've got comey himself.

i blame congress, i blame a lot of people for it. but it should have never been made. and we are going to see what happens on the 12th. if iran threatens us in any way, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid. lou: we finally have a president restoring credibility on foreign policy. joining me is ron desantis. the congressman is the leading republican candidate for the governor of florida. the president talking tough and straightforwardly to macron as he said he's not retreating his view of the deal. what do you make of it all? >> i think the president is exactly right. this is a deal i opposed from the start. candidate donald trump opposed this when he was running for president. if you look at how it operates, we don't have access to iran's military sites. and then the deal sunsets next decade. even if you don't think iran is going to cheat and they are not going to do this opposite their military site. i give the president credit. he's not just going to put his head in the sand and prethrenld is not a problem. similar to what he has done with north ko

what business do they have keeping from congress the documents that congress is entitled to. it is a cause for impeachment. >> lou: it is the responsibility of congress under the constitution to be an oversight over the justice department. and in the idea that comey and mueller and rosenstein, and others are sort of creating the chorus of we are an independent agency and we don't report to anybody including god. they are now a rogue department and agency. don't you think? >> they are more than that, lou, my husband and i have said this for sometime that there was a cabal by a group of people in this town to clear hillary clinton so that she didn't get indicted and could continue to run for president as comey said. we thought she would get it and if that did not work, to frame donald trump and look how that has happened. >> lou: as stark and as page pointed out, that was the insurance policy and clear that that cabal was formed in the obama administration, it was set in motion by president obama in my yment and his attorney general then eric holder who you talk about the essen

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

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

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

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 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 ed rollins called it last night and i'm leaving the track behind, but i'm not standing still... ed rollins called i
