cryptic exchange of last week. >> do you recall any u.s. ambassadors expwg tha asking that names be unmasked. >> i don't, i don't know. maybe it is ringing a fake bell, but i could not answer with any confidence. reporter: chairman nunez, signed 7 subpoenas, other 4 at behest of chief, these were said to be -- which is conducting a parallel probe of allegations of collusion last year, president trump and the russians have both denied those allegations. cohen has denied colluding with the kremlin, issuance of

is this going to end with the fifth amendment responses or will there be production of se subpoenaed material? >> i think that documents will get produced but actually live testimony, about what people knew and whether they knew it how they knew it and why they wanted to know it, you will see it happen. we know that susan rice is incapable of telling the truth on a consistent basis, she wants to take oath, then be caught you know just flat fooded in something that is -- flat footed in something not true, i think she will take the fifth amendment before she does that. lou: she has been caught lies flat fooded with the benghazi scandal. and trio does not have a great

record, brennan spying own teligent committee himself, and as for sama saman samantha power, we'll find out more, interesting adam schiff put up four duplicate subpoena request. am i being cynical. charles: i think you are on, i it -- does reflect a certain level of the bipartisanship, context of the investigation. you are dead on, congressman schiff did what he did, it is actually not very complicated, easy to see, you know, we'll see where that leads. lou: that explains why -- >> not really, i think what you see, you will see it backfire, that is what will be

stunning, is the moment you have bipartisan subpoenas asking for this level of cumentation on unmasks, you will be surprised about who the finger points to. lou: i think that democrats are shocked, these subpoenaed, three of them, on the obama white house. randy evans thank you. he will be rejoining us later in the broadcast. speculation rampant that president is about to withdraw the united states from paris client a climate agreement, that prospect alone has the base exciting and dems are launching broadside, against the trump administration. john roberts in washington with the latest for us. reporter: good evening, during the election campaign president trump promised he

would bridgbring back american manufacturing and jobs that go with it the question, can he make good on that pledge and stay in paris climate accord. >> in oval office, wouldn't trump would not tip his hand on which way he would go, at g7 meeting trump said he cares about the environment but concerned that it could risk u.s. falling behind nations like china and india, in manufacturing and job creation. all burden, is on united states, to adhere to things that other ownrie -- countries are not willing to do, i think that president saying i am here, is this right for the country. reporter: they believe that president will make a clean break from the accord, one

suggests president may seek a meddle ground, withdrawing from certain agreements. possible nuance of a decision made no impact on democrats, senate minority leader chuck schumer tweeting, we must do all we can to protect our planet, withdrawing in the paris agreement would put it in jeopardy, even president's allies have -- don't know which way paris will go, but i have done all i can to advise directly to potus that we remain, when asked what he would do if president withdraws, musk replies, we'll have no choice but to dert councils in that case. and president today, lashed out on twitter. president trump tweeting, kathy griffin should be ashamed of herself, my children, especially my

11-year-old son barron are having a hard time with this, sick. and as a mother, a wife and a human being that photo is disturbing, when you worrisome of the atrocities in world today, a photo opportunity like this is wrong, it makes you wonder about the mental health of the person who did it. president left nation scratching its head after sending out a bedtime tweet last night that ended with a word, cafefe. >> he made a game of it, tweeting who can figure out the tree meaning of cafefe eenjoy. prompting this cryptic response from press secretary. >> president and a small group of people know what he meant. reporter: simplest would have been that president set out a tweet with a typo, did not notice it then went to bed, but, simple rarely seems to be

the case. lou:t may not be ssimple, any level, you know he is dialing with fake ws he is dealing with a absolutely determined deep state, why not start creating these if you will these bashes and mysteries -- barbs and mysteries for the dogs on sort of chew on overnight, and be all fresher for it and more and continued tiresome, john. i don't get sense that things are more pleasant between left wing national media and that administration? >> no, they have never been pleasant, because president believing and feels that he has been under siege, since the day he was elected. lou: because he has been under siege? reporter: it is, i mean -- lou: there you go.

this is a barbaric left wing assault on a sitting president that would not be tolerated if he were a democrat, and we know that. >> if i could offer a -- a riverare opinion. i don't think that there is anybody who can defend that horrible photograph. that was made public. the other day and i think that -- i think -- lou: because if they don't have that impulse maybe sufficient decency remains that republican be saved john roberts. >> thank you, lou. lou: a lot to cover, our special guest, president trump campaign digital head who is slamming left wing national media's claims that russian operatives played a role in president trump's victory, brad parscale will join us. we'll be back with that and

much more stay with us. >> trump administration confident that china is doing all it can to stop north korea and its nuclear ambitions. >> i do believe, i think that administration believes that china is doing back channel networks with north korea, in a way to try to get them to stop nuclear testing. reporter: we take up the dodge's efforts -- dodg. >> and radical islamist terrorism strikes in kabul, a massive truck bomb kills dozens of civilians and injuries including american citizens, we're coming right back with that

cost a quarter of a billion dollars. and an extraordinary result for a long-term program. >> my next guest said that test democrats that united states has the capability to stop a attack, should give kim jong-un pause. joining us now, a member of freedom caucus, congressman great to yo to have you with us. >> great to be here. lou: i can't imagine the pressure on the officer in charge of that test, but he or she pulled it off. >> he did, and you know, i see something like, that god bless ronald reagan for having the visions, he did so as president, his influence is still felt, if you are kim jong-un, you are looking at that, that one thing you are building toward to have a ballistic missile capability and u.s. has that type of capability is very positive

for our country. lou: and another positive to add to a long list. since president trump was elected. slogan, make america great again. also with a great connection to ronald reagan. what we're watching is a continuum reactor sert --ry asserted leadership of the free world, stepping into tells whether it be in pacific region, south china sea or it might be in middle east. this president, this administration, responding. >> you have 8 years for our adversaryy took pressure of previous president, they knew they could get away with a lot, now they are on their heels, they are concerned, they see our president standing up with strength. lou: and turning to politics that is what dominating the action of the senate intelligence and house

intelligence, committees in my opinion. the issuance by house committee 7 is up reasonnas, three to the fire fbi, cia, nsa. three individuals name, what do you make of it? this looks like an investigation of the obama administration? >> i think this is encouraging. you had unmasking, you had leaking of the flynn phone call. which is fiso material that is a huge no-no, there were crimes committed, we talked about investigation, only crimes that we know of were those crimes, but also a larger important these intelligence programs, have to be reauthorized by congress, if congress and american people, don't have confident that this. this could be used properly, they think it will be misused, guess what? a lot of programs are not reauthorized, people in the obama administration, and obama holown hold overs, they

really cause i think a lot of damage even beyond immediate political cur of i fluffel. >> two questions, right now it looks like most abused program of that which we know, which is in public view, but -- what happened to american citizens, what has been done politically talk about weaponize intelligence that is an example. >> congress will not reauthorize this right now until we get answers about how this information was used. if we get answers we get prosecutions so people know you can't just use this mompl information, then maybe you will be able to reauthorize, right now, i believe you will see resistance on both sides of the aisle. lou: th is up opennas produce -- subpoenas producing documents is that sufficient? >> i think this is a hopeful

sign, when comey testified in march, he talked about russian investigation, he would not acknowledge they were looking into the leaks, this is really first time we know that there is concrete steps taken to get ought the unmasking and at leaking, it may not be all we need to do, but it is encouraging. lou: comey making allegations through one of his sources, speaking to fake news, that he will allege the president pressured him. is there a law against pressuring a president, the justice department? >> here is the thing, did the president doing anything in improper? if he said he did, why didn't he do anything in response. he did not do anything, writing a memo to self does not solve problems, he will have a hard time explaining if you are indicting trump on something, why didn't you take action. lou: you get a sense that it fell on part of james comey

priebus, what are you doing to catch up in data mining? what are you doing in targeting data? what are you doing to beeady for 2016? the answer was, they did qte a bit. it turns out ought ground game wasn't nearly as important as i personally journaled it to be two years before that election. because of what you did do with social media. >> there is a data point out there that hasn't been put out much. that's up from 20% four years ago. lou: say that again? that is a minds-blowing number. >> 70% of people got their information who they are going to vote for from social media. it what's your friends are saying on social media and how you are being fin fliewnsd online.

these companies are extremely powerful & and we used our own data to contact them with content that was specific to them. trump had a big message and left was trying to make it noise. but the beauty of social media is we could separate out what trump was saying without the biased opinion of the left. lou: how do you react as the digital maven for the trump campaign and the digital spirit opay, the president hasw, when just got to quit tweeting. he can't do that tweeting thing anymore. he has to ignore those 30 million twitter followers. he has to go through old media. old left-wing national media. how do you react? >> i said this a bunch of times. in trump wouldn't be here if he

i know a lot about jared kushner the man. he's a good man. he's and smart and intelligent man. when he walks into a room, he has the stature of someone 20 years older than him. he was extremely respected the throughout the campaign. he was the one who helped in trump get across that finish line. lou: and i know you have did as well. thanks for being with us. >> thank you very much. lou: please roll the video. these are thrill seekers. they are getting creative in the needr need r -- in the need for speed. they are racing down hill head first in france inches from the ground. even passing cyclists. they call it an exhilarating ride, i think more scarand
