the presidential inherented -- inherited. lou: i don't want there to be any misunderstanding. his critics with scurrilous cowards who failed to do their duty to rein in the kim family as they kept moving forward with nuclear ambitions. >> that's right. he inherited a difficult problem. he's in the first phase of as rational approach to north korea. i don't have high expectations for sanctions. but if sanctions are going to work, they are going to take time. lou: we don't have time. i have estimates for time of delivery of this system from stut korea the ends of this year, not early next year, the ends of this year. the pace with which we are

watching their ballistic missiles being launched, i don't doubt it whatsoever. i can't make an observation about the nuclear warheads they are developing, but the delivery system is moving apace. >> the president will have to think how top ratchet up military pressure against north korea. possibly shooting down missiles. possibly a military embargo. it has to be done carefully 367 and i think it president has don't right thing to try to get people of i -- to get forces in the region. the. lou: it seems he has support of president xi. it's vague and uncertain. it's not what would be most

desirable. an open and concerted effort among russia, chain a, the united states and europe. but we are no longer in a position talking about hypothetical obstructions. this is a clear and present threat to the security of the united states and everybody country in the world. >> i think that's right. i think there has been progress with china. last week china shut off its main road into north korea. i don't think sanctions are going to work. but we have to move down this road before we start ratcheting up military pressure. i would say the timetable, the reality of the delivery of a nuclear war head on one of those icbms against the united states or its allies.

i want toned with one question. i am watching hillary clinton playing shadow to president trump in beijing. we are about to watch former president obama do the same thing, follow just as he did president trump on his itinerary in may. at what point does this president have to pick up a phone and say we are going to consider that an unfriendly act if you continue to give audience to these folks who are obviously subversive of american interests? >> i think you are right. this is shameful. these supreme no class. if the republicans had done this to president obama the "new york times" would have a front page headline condemning them. he should send a signal to various foreign leaders that this would be considered an unfriendly act and has to be more outsnoang this country

about these activities by mrs. clinton and president clinton. what about english and cordray. obviously they hold the government in in trivial regard. i would love to see the president bring out the u.s. marshals to escort all of them out of washington. be sure to vote in tonight's poll. do you think chuck and nancy care how super sil ridiculous to the american people? on wall street a record day for stocks. the dow looked at the north

the ethics committee doesn't function. the american public has the right to at least have workplace rules. lou: if they need rules for that, why elect them? ed: you shouldn't elect them. most of laws passed by the lawmakers, they exempt themselves. lou: you have got a speaker and a majority leader in the senate, speaker of the house, we are not saying a word as we watch a federal judge have to knock down an attempt to subvert the government and put in leandra english at the consumer

financial protection bureau. there is quiet from the republican leadership instead of a show and demonstration of solidarity and unity for the president of the united states. edrequire's an agency the congress created and they fund. they should be doing what you are saying but they won't. they have a whole bunch of them being publicly exposed. lou: they are trying to subvert the president of the united states. ed: i understand that. and it's not going to happen. the court today judged on behalf of the laws. lawmakers who make laws ought to live by them. lou: let's talk about chuck and nancy. ed: do we have to? lou: they are the most of appalling people.

lou: an obama-appointed inspector general reports how he

was threarntded when he raids the alarm about hillary clinton's pry vachtd email server. he talked with. catherineher catherineherridge. >> fit was personal blowback to me and to my family, to my office. the i.g. and myself, we would be the first two to be fired with her administration. that was definitely going to happen. lou: joining us, tom de depre. it's the first time i have seen anyone come out of hiding and

say something critical of hillary clinton while she was secretary of state talking about marginalized and threatened by clinton allies. what's your reaction to the statements? >> i'm disappointed but i can't say i'm surprised. what we have seen and learned about the clinton operations, they are not afraid to use these strong arm tactics. if you are going to blot whistle you will pay a political price. lou: how does it get reconciled? it's one thing to straighten the record out and make his statements. is there accountability? >> i think the fact that he's telling the story is putting the media spotlight on this. it's possible people of on the hill or elsewhere will show an

interest and ferret out what happened. you can't have a situation where the inspector general or whistleblowers are basically chilled from telling the truth because there will be a political payback if they do so. >> we have then even more gross allegations of conduct. we know for a fact that the entire head of the fbi was quote-unquote marginalized and corrupted because they refused to move forward with an investigation of hillary clinton or i think the head of the fbi was told by the attorney general loretta lynch to call it a matter, not an investigation. >> that's right. certainly we heard a lot of stories about what the attorney general, loretta lynch, was doing behind the scenes to tamp down any discussion of what hillary clinton had been up to

and trying to spin things in a way that's atypical for an attorney general. the justice department is the gold standard for objectivity. and this undercuts the administration of justice. lou: do you think the department of justice is the gold standard after we looked at the fbi, ignoring the a pay-for-play sinister clinton foundation that was obviously working for the clintons, personal gain as well as against the national interest. >> we heard a lot about the justice department the last 8 years and not all of it is good. i'm hopeful people on the hill will lift you have the hood and look understood it to find out what happened. i think the vast majority of

justice department employees are honest brokers doing their job every day. the fact that there may be some bad apples in there i don't think thud taint the overall -- should taint the overall good justice department tries to .every day. lou: i look at benghazi, fast and furious, the irs scandal, scandal after scandal, investigation after investigation, and not not one single person in state years was brought to account for that misconduct on the part of the justice department or the heads of the fbi. we have a man sitting now in andrew mccabe who did not declare a conflict until a week before the election at the fbi in recusing himself. it just goes on.

andrew wiseman working for the special counsel. the special counsel himself a record of disaster, strong arm tactics. and frankly a very poor record of success in his major cases. this is not a candy rock mott called the justice department. >> let's hope they can restore the justice department to it's original vision. until recent shift was the gold standard. lou: do you think it is now? and do you think it ought to be held in that high regard? the leadership has been a disaster. >> i can't quarrel with a lot of the things you mention. when it comes to the clinton and obama years, there seems to be a double standard in a lot of the things you mention. but i keep coming back to 99% of the work the justice department

and the fbi do. that's the piece of it i don't think should be overlooked. most of of the people who go to work every day are trying to do the right thing. lou: president trump ripped into no-show democrats. charlie hurt and mark i known join me next.
