>> lou: good evening, everybody. evidence of corruption within the justice department and fbi mount and more questions arise. the doj said it's recovered five months of text messages that were missing. those missing between anti- trump fbi officials, peter strokan and lisa page, lovers it turns out, after all, the recovery of those texts required less than a week after officials claimed they lost the message and seemed to blame samsung. no more. we don't know who is to blame

but at least samsung is exonerated and. doj trying to stop the release of the house intelememo detailing surveillance abuses. they say it would be rebbing less and seeks to block it. the intelligence committee said the justice department can stand down and relax and continues to block the doj and fbi from seeing the memo. our gets tonight join me to discuss corruption in the highest levels of the doj and fbi. as the drama in the swamp rages on. donald trump high above it all. with a meeting in the swiss al,s. he a required there in marine

one and first sitting president to attend the world leaders and globalist and would- be elites in two days and he was greeted with a rock star reception with business executive and world leaders as he's set to promote america first in a speech in the conference, tomorrow. >> there is a lot of warmth and respect for our country and billion and billions of dollars is coming in to the u.s. and people are happy with what we have done not only on the tax bill but also cutting the regulation. and cheerleader for your country. if you are not a cheerleader for your country no matter what happens, it is not going to work. >> lou: we'll talk up the message with dr. sebastian gorka. the top story, the mysteriously

lost and suddenly found messages between peter strokand lisa page. it is an out of control fbi seemingly determined to protect hillary clinton and undermine president trump. fox news correspondent catherine herridge with the report. >> reporter: inspector general who discovered the anti- trump text between peter strok and lisa page and set the review. the letter did not fully explain why peters were told that the inspector had everything only to be tholled thousands of records were missing. the president chastised the media from ignoring the story. >> i look at what is happening,

and take a look at five month's woshth of missing text. >> reporter: the political rhetoric documenting government abuse took a new turn the chairman whose staff drafted the memo. the ranking democrat took a swipe at the media who were covering the allegations. >> they wanted to make a political statement and feed the beast on fox new and they wanted to do what they could to derail the mueller investigation. >> reporter: the democrats national security concerns are over blown. >> i read the memo and my estmiization no law enforcement sensitive methods would be compromised here. >> reporter: the justice department called release of the

memo unprecedented and reckless. they want a review before it goes public. >> let us see it first. no one in the senate or white house or fbi has seen the documents. >> reporter: the minority leader weighing in. >> on and on and on. conspiracy theories with the virtually no facts. >> reporter: republicans on the with wisdom of releasing the memo. >> when the public questions the integrity of the department and fbi and conclude that politics took over rather than the law, that is a serious matter and we need to get that cleared up through one means or another. >> reporter: house intelligence committee would not comment on the reports. director mccabe and deputy rosenstien and fbi director

james comey. >> lou: thank you, catherine. devon nunez denied richard birdstaff access to the classified memo. only house memos can view the memorandium. there are 65 law makers demanding the release. he said nothing would impair national security. and joining us, congressman, good to see you tonight. much has happened and one of the fastest recoveries of missing e-mail of that volume in the history of the digital universe. it was the doj and fbi that had to do the scrambling. >> it is it a technological miracle, lou. what you have is a continued

pattern of stone walling and hiding the ball and not letting congress get to the bottom of it. we are talking the top brass here, they want to keep it secret and under wraps because there is damaging information in those text message and revelations. this is it trickling out for months and the fact that they have the a dasity we can't find it and now all. sudden, they have it. the inspector general has to be pulling out his hair thinking about the upper levels. doj. it is undermining the rule of law in this country. >> lou: senator john cornyn talking about want poor fbi and department of justice having integrity questioned. are you kidding me? this is a u.s. senator and he's

worried about their feelings? this is mind- boggling. >> yeah, i don't understand that. they are long- term professionals. and they have every capacity or technology at their fingertips and what we are seeing is not a willingness to cooperate with congress. but instead, a willingness to hide the ball. and it traces everything back, and all. things that we have seen that trickled out over the months. it is audeficiency acious to say how come you are disrespecting us. >> lou: and they sent out a flack to respond. not the director. fbi or assistant director. my god, how arrogant can they be? >> i am in 100 percent agreement with you.

they want to see the memo first. we shouldn't release the memo. you need to release the memo, because it is not the memo that is going to undermind the integraty or the people's view. integrity. it is it their conduct and action even now with the text messages. it undermines their credibility in the highest levelingly. >> lou: we only have you here a little while. that is to the administration's four pillars of the border security and immigration reform. if we could, we'll put it up. and the white house released today and turns out to call for a 10-12 year path for citizenships and daca recipients and others with work and education requirements and that number would expand it to 5 million people by the way. we are not sure.

but there is no numerical cap. and now the wall has suddenly become a 75 billion trust fund. not only the wall, but ports of entry and other expenses to border security. that is a metamorphis and limit chain migration to the nuclear family and oh, yes, end the visa lottery system. your reaction, congressman? >> when i first heard, lou, can this be true? it doesn't work. the real pillars are the board wall. get border secure and then get internal enforcement. and then remove the incentiveness to stay here like

amnesty program. that provides incentives to come here. there is a surge of minors and family members crossing the border thinking they will get an daca coming forward. in my opinion, it is not what is coming federaled. i -- forward. i am stuned. >> lou: one expected changed and part of negotiating positions, but this is a four legged monster that seems designed by the person who ran against the man we elected to the office rather than than something he would conjuror. your final thoughts as we wrap up here? >> i said no daca or discussion or consider it. i think these people are in the country illegally. we are putting them ahead of the people coming here the right

way. we should not do anything until we paid for and started that wall. i am not relationship with the plan that is presented. >> lou: i said for 16 years, that you can't reform immigration law if you can't control your border and there is nothing in this this suggest we am or would. congressman, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> lou: will be right back with much more, stay with us. text messages between two anti- trump fbi lovers recovered, less than a week after the doj claimed they were missing. judicial watch tom sutton joins me. next. when you think of miami u think of,you know,rich,glamour but 5 miles away from the beach there's people who have

never seen a beach. i was confused why somebody was in this situation especially in america. ♪music:oooh,oooh,oooh so when i started joshua's heart foundation it was a key thing to be able to engage youth in the foundation. to help them participate. ♪music:oooh,oooh,oooh i think passing on the torch and lighting a new flame in another person to do good is probably the point of the bigger missions i have. ♪music:aha,aha,aha so we are each making a bigger difference. ♪music:oooh,oooh,oooh that's it! just giving back and producing love for everybody.

>> lou: the house intelligence committee responding to the justice department a expression of concern about the release of the committee's four page memo detailing fizan abuses. agencies that are under investigation by congressional

committees, don't typically get access to the committee's investigative documents about them. and it is no surprise these aenlss don't want the abuses that we found to be made public. joining us is judicial watch president tom fit and judicial watch suing the department of justice for the strzok text. we call devon nunez a hero and now doing so with great wit. i thought that response was absolutely perfect. what did you think? >> i thought it was great, too. and the disturbing aspect of it is the justice department is acting like hillary clinton is president instead of president trump. and sessions put himself in a box. and mueller is running the

investigation and all of the fight about the dossier and back and forth about the fbi text messages and the modified limited hang out of text messages is about protecting mueller's operation. there is a race for mueller to interview trump if he can prior to his operation being blown apart by the release the dossier memo by the house. more text messages that will further expose the whole investigation in to trump and hillary clinton which is related as a partis an chant. >> lou: the missing text. i never seen a recovery like this. less than a week of being told in a high-and-mighty fashion by the fbi director that the text were lost, they had been found. it doesn't rise to the level of

a miracle, perhaps a political miracle. have you seen anything like this? >> i never thought they were missing to gek begin with. they were found a few hours after we sued for them in federal court. that was a late christmas miracle a month late. >> lou: a suspicious conversion i have to admit. >> they told us lois lerner's e-mails were missing and lost. and there are no back up tape and turned out there were back up tape and most famously hillary clinton had no email and turned out she had 60000 and even the ones she deleted we were able to oun confer thanks to getting the fbi to do its job. >> lou: there is a honest burden of the servants of american

public where they send them out in dribbles for the great unwashed, that is american citizens like you and me and those watching, so we at least can compreend the methodations of higher minds and purposes that we served? >> that's right. the bureaucrat, thanks to president trump to review the documents quickly are having to do the work because it is beneath them. and in the department justice. there is a lack of trance're transparency that would have made the obama justice department blush. the deep state is in full control thanks to the leadership checking out on the transparency issues and refusing to be brave on the transparency issues. we were told by the fbi when ask the about the text message. i can't tell you how

contemptuous and they told us sue us if you want them. which is what we happily d. we had numerous lawsuits that these should have been turned over to us. and they are giving us the back. hand and this is the new administration and not the obama administration. >> lou: that raises the question, you must ask yourself the question. why would not president trump order these people, these servants of the american public to act in his interest and release that to the american people because it is our right to know? >> i think he's receiving advice not to get involved. i think he does want the information released and complained about it through tweets and things like that. one thing to complain in a tweet and get the lawyer and justice department to do what you want

them to do. he's been put in a box because of the illicit criminal investigation that he can't talk about the daca drouments or warrants. >> lou: he doesn't have to talk about it. this is it a strange possibility to imagine. imagine that the president would not talk about it, but his attorney or he personally order the attorney general to release the documents to rex tillerson. release the documents and end the nonsense and create transparency that the american people have a right to demand. >> i told the white house directee that and it just hasn't happened. we talk about extreme vetting and i want extreme transparency in all of. this and to me the justice department ceded all. information on this to mueller

and it is it now king mueller and he's just another lawyer working on a contract basis for the bureaucracy and he's treated like a king. mueller's operation is now compromised. >> lou: compromised and political corruption. it is it that simple. thank you for keeping us up with the waveless of the ebb and flow the waveless of the ebb and flow of

>> lou: joining me dr. sebastian goccuk. it is great to have you with us. let's turn to america first and the president. he never ceases to amaze me with

rhetorical flourish and the affect on an audience systeming america first in an audience of global elites is an amazing thing to pull off. >> this is the heart of darkness for globalization. the elite of the elite and individuals who think they know better than the voters who put them in their position and megawealthy people. the richer they get and more socialist they get in their politics and in goes donald trump with a simple message. i am here to tell you that america is back and national sovereignty is back. we don't have a close the economic system and if you want a slice of the pie you can join our team. it is classic donald trump. >> lou: he will give the state of the union and may be defined

by the scandalous corruption at both the fbi and the department of justice. your thoughts? >> yeah, this is personal to me, lou. before i came back in government, i spent five years working with the fbi and working with law enforcement in the country and helping them understand the threat from isis and tramped to field office and got to know these people. they are patriots and agency and analyst. and thousands of people who want to protect. >> lou: not the rank and file. it is it the rancid corrupt leadership of the department and agency. >> it is it the fbi 7th floor. peter strzok who think they get to decide is prosecuted and who is not prosecuted based on

political preferences. and now we see the text message and paper trail of how hillary clinton was protected and how if this memo comes out and the gop better release the memo and donald trump as a political candidate was targeted for political purposes. and that will make watergate like child's play. james comey. as a director of the fbi, leaking materials to create an office for the special prosecutor so his friend robert mueller can attack and undermine a serving president. it is outrageous. >> lou: you have looked over the immigration proposal that his chief of staff john kelly took to capitol hill. this is not at all, not in any way what he sold to the american

voter. >> look, a deal is not inked yet and the president has to go back to basics. there has to be's wall. and a physical wall. that's been promised and an immigrant to a country wait three years to bhk a citizen. and no one gets citizenship if you come here illegally. get back to the line and maybe you can have a work permit if you didn't break the law. >> lou: this president is doing everything he said he would do. and achieving more than any president than fdr and extraordinary the conjectory that he set the country on in a year. why would he risk it over this kind of proposal? >> i find it hard to believe that it came from him. in a matter of two days, he got

schumer to cave and has the dems over the barrel and let's see what happens in the end of the day. >> lou: ever the optmist. we'll see. up next, demand left wing media predicting midterm wins. despite donald trump's first year. i will have few thoughts for them and byron york will join me to take up deep state conversion and miraculous recovery of the antihelp trump fbi lover text. that recommends off of the tongue,

>> lou: it was only a year ago that we could hear the demand left wings squabinging and furious that donald trump had won and defeated hillary clinton and made the national left wing media look like fools. they said he couldn't win. and he trounced 16 republican candidate and her to boot. he beat her in the biggest political upset ever. and now self proclaimed experts are predicting a blue wave of democratic win in the midterms. why? pin head pundits will tell only two presidents who gained seats in the both houses of congress

in the midterm cycle. as often the case they forecast the political outcome they want just as the orthodoxy of daffodils declare trump a disaster before they begin and they can't bear how wrong they were and biassed to an afterlafrn much prosperity that the first year in office is the most successful of any president since fdr. it is growing at a rate of four percent now. and 2 million americans are working as the unemployment rate has plufrmged and the state market grew by 8 trillion in market cap since election day. $8 trillion. taxes are going lower. lower and employers are handing out bigger bonus and raises to

their employees, those workers will have more money in their pockets as a result. pocket and wallet and accounts and all begins next month all thanks to the trump tracks reform and cuts. president trump's approval rating just hit 45 percent. can you imagine what it might be after next month. perhaps in november on election day. no matter what nonsense the chattering class and dems and national left wing media, americans like winning and republicans representatives and senators embrace the america first agenda will ride to victory on the mid- term wave election. that's right. i said midterm wave and election. it is it part i admit pettiness and glorous to see the demand

rhino and national media squawking and squealing and the country will remain on a steady course to a brighter future. and thomas vane. can you imagine how president trump feels tonight in switzerland. cia director mike pompeo said north korea is close to testing the united states with a nuclear weapon. >> the tests that are materially successful also improved and putting them closer to a place where americans can be held at risk. >> lou: we take up the kim jong-un unrest. >> and this man just needs sand

duns and the great wall of china. we'll show you his brith taking performance here next. we'll be right back. my "business" was going nowhere... so i built this kickin' new website with godaddy. building a website in under an hour is easy! 68% of people... ...who have built their website using gocentral, did it in... ...under an hour, and you can too. type in your business or idea. pick your favourite design. personalize it with beautiful images. and...you're done! and now business is booming. harriet, it's a double stitch not a cross stitch! build a better website - in under an hour. free to try. no credit card required. gocentral from godaddy.

realize that denuclearization is the only acceptable future. >> i cannot imagine united states accepting north korea to be a nuclear power. >> we'll not allow american cities to be threatened with destruction. >> lou: secretary of state rex tillerson denounced for enables a shad saying that the kremlin bears the responsibility for the chemical warfare in syria. joiningny is jack king and fox senior strategic analyst. and general jack keene. this is like i don't know a retreat in the past suddenly, syria with a chemical gas attack by assad again. what in the world are we going to do? the russians we thought were in

hand and now their proxy is doing what he wishes which is destroying want lives of women and children? >> the iranian and russians propped up the assad regime successfully and they will stay in power. it is a fantasy when people in the administration believe that there will be a political process in geneva to resolve it to the world's favor. not happening. the thug and criminal assad war criminal that he is saying in power. our strategy is defeating isis and we did a good job of that. but we don't have a strategy with the bigger problem. >> lou: the bigger problem is russia. what are we to do with contending with two large powers, global powers, russia and china with separate interest

and extraordinary common interest that is competing against the united states? >> well, there is good news here. the administration and national security strategy and the secretary of defense national defense strategy both identified the world the way it is it in my view. backing away completely from obama's view of the world. they identified russia and china as two power and we are in power competition and they want to destroy the international order that the united states established for 70 years and we have to have strategies to push back and confront them. and that is great news and that is it the truth and the way the world is. >> lou: that truth entails as you pointed out on this broadcast numerous times, we have to have an economy growing and conjectory that the

president set up upon and means more money for our military, and investment and technology and weaponry. how close are we to being there? we just watched an idiotic charade taking place on capitol hill where they couldn't agree on a budget. >> we have gone five months with a continuing resolution. we are supposed to appropriate what they have given to president to sign. a $700 billion budget. that is it an eight percent increase which is good new and that will be the start of rebuilding the military. but atz long as you are using the continuing resolution. we are operating of last year's money and that gave us five out of eight brigades ready. 58 percent. aircraft are not flying because of no spare parts and the navy

colliding. and smallest military in five years. that's what the continuing resolution continues. and so we have to have a budget. and congress has to do it. >> mcconnell and will speaker ryan, how can they look at themselves in the mirror? how can they call themselves a leader or speaker or a person of immense responsibility in the great government of ours? >> because defense is not a top priority for them. if it was. they would pass the appropriation's bill and suspend the budget caps that are keeping the down to the obama level stand arounds and put it in the top of the list and say the number one job of the united states government to protect and defend the nation and we are doing it inadequately so many years, we need to fast forward the money and rebuild the military. what is the sad thing here, someone has to tell the

president. he hasn't appropriated a dime of new money to rebuild the military. he keeps saying you guys, talking to the troops rebuilding the military and new troops. hasn't started yet. why? the congress hasn't passed the bill to appropriate the money. >> lou: chuck schumer refuses to follow the president's lead and he has priorities that have nothing to do with national interest. general jack keane you always have the national interest in few. >> thank you. >> we'll show you a little relief from all that is profound and serious. this looks serious. a world class skier proving that you don't need snow to have fun if you of a world class athlete. wow. >> skying across the great wall of china and over the sand

dunnes. and cooling off in the ocean. up next. house intelligence committee and booking the committee dealing with fizza. and we'll take up

>> lou: joining us is byron

york, fox news contributor. and familiaring the story of corrupgsz of the doj and fbi closely and constantly. good to see you;'re. thank you, lou. >> lou: the found tex missing a week before they were turned over. within hours of the them suing for the text they were found? >> how about that? who knew? and i think the fbi must have been surprised at the intensity of the reaction on capitol hill about this. you saw this within hours of this announcement that the text were lost, the attorney general jeff sessions said we'll do everything we can to find it. and well, they showed up pretty fast. >> lou: turns out less than a matter of technology knowledge

than conscience and certain public reaction. amongst these text a number much them catch my eye. this between page and strzok, referring to the next president and here it is. one more time writes page. she might be our next president. the last thing you need is us going in loaded for bear. you think she would remember or care it was more doj or fbi. >> strzok greed, i called bill and relayed what we discussed he grease, i will e-mail and redakted same. your reaction? >> the bill is thoughts to be bill prestat. not bill clinton. and charles grassly the senator released that e-mail and text

today and said they are pulling their punches in a clinton investigation and it certainly does. there are other parts they talk about a special counsel for the clinton investigation. this one it was they didn't want to go after her and we know they didn't. >> lou: we know they didn't and the evidence is mounting and more evidence to come. and it is it a reminder in this, we talk about the secret society as i did yesterday, ron johnson, senator from wisconsin, walked back his reference to secret societies it may have been they were kidding rather than serious. that is not the going to the idea of secret society meetings off sight. i am not sure what to make of that, do you? >> senator johnson said an

informant that a group meeting off site. on the night it came out on monday night, i had talked to several law makers and they only found two words once. and the context was difficult to figure out and i wrote that night, this could be nothing. and i think everybody got too excited about it and jumped the gun on that and there is a lot of stuff in these text that perhaps the lesson of the secret society is, you need to look for context. the text are full of gossip and references to whatever conversation took place. and hard to reconstruct and some of them very, very important messages. and that will take a while. >> lou: and then some saying that the american people are too stupid to understand them.

i think adam ship, is a partis an. >> be care:>> lou: be careful? i am going to be polite. he is it abjectly a partisan and not serving the nation at all. he is serving his party and partners. we have to get it out there and i don't feel that i hear from xharm -- chairman nunez or the republicans sitting on the committee, they say we'll see it soon. and it can't be soon enough for me. >> i believe soon enough will be next week. and listen, i think the big theme of this is, investigators are finding out a lot of stuff. it was like pulling teeth to get it out of the fbi and justice department. they have found out a lot of stuff. and they felt like it was a box

and it is classified. we know these things and it is classified. and devon nunez wrote the memo as a way to bust out of that >> the president talked about how america is back in where we are as far as growing an economy. train to breaking news this morning. president trump to unveil his 2018 agenda in his state of the union address. infrastructure topping the list. lauren: major averages for the fourth week in a row on good economic as well as earnings news. unfortunately, this morning was located down no pain. trying to a lot of red. investors keep it close eye on interest rates. the 10 year treasury topping 2% for the first time in three years print signs of a stronger u.s.
