it's scandal bigger than uranium one. charles: here is lou. lou: the top stories. california fully aligning itself with the lunatic left as the trump administration insifts on rationale in federal government policy. california's radical attorney general announcing he's suing the administration for adding a question about citizenship to the next census. why should he care at all let alone so much. we examine the bizarre reasons tonight. also the state government out of control. but in a growing number of cities and one county in california, there is hope for america. orange county is a hotbed of

common sense and patriotism. and officials of the third most of populist county in california are take an admirable stand against the state's sanctuary law. orange county supervisors voted to condemn the sanctuary law and join the trump administration's lawsuit against the state's dangerous sanctuary policies. the orange county sheriff publicly posting release dates for all inmates including illegal immigrants federal authorities may want to detain for deportation. they will have a list in front of them from now on. las vegas authorities cracking down on the most of dangerous gang in america and the drug cartels. clark county officials arresting five members of the ms-13 gaining. we take up the fight against drug cartels, sanctuary cities and the president's efforts to

build that wall. congressman andy busines -- andd he governmentian gorka. the deep blue state of california filed two dozen lawsuits against the admin since president trump took office from everything from environmental regulations to healthcare. and last night another lawsuit over the administration's plans to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. >> the administration delivered the news quietly after weeks of building controversy. quote, today the u.s. department of commercial announced a question on citizenship status will be reinstated to the 2020 census. california's attorney general preemptively filed suit.

saying the question is illegal. supporters noted it had been included in the census up to 1950. >> there is no prove it prevented anyone from voting. the attorney general sued saying it's unconstitutional. but it was never unconstitutional before. reporter: doj noted citizenship data is important. >> we think it's an intimidation factor to frighten immigrants from not participating in the kreb us. >> the white house supports it, but the decision was made at the department level. reporter: both sides agree not participating iparticipating ins skews the data used for allocation of government resource. >> it has enormous consequences

of how much representation you have or your chance of your candidate winning. reporter: in 2010 census takers documented suchu such an increase in legal and non-legal citizens in california the state gained five seats. >> we do already ask this on a whole series of census questions not only on citizenship but a detailed 70s related questions. reporter: only 2.1% of respondents failed to share citizenship data. lou: thank you, doug mcelway. red storm rising. dire warnings from the pentagon

as china and russia are outpacing the united states in hypersonic technology. they move five times faster than the speed of sound. he warned the united states lacks an adequate defense. >> we don't have a defense that could deny the offense against us. so the on defense would be the nuclear triad. lou: joining me now, dr. sebastian gorka. good to have you with us. suddenly we are all talking about hyper somebodyic missiles -- hypersonic missiles and weaponry and the united states he apparently lagging

seriously behind china and russia. >> let's take the two questions and split them. the russian allegation of advanced hyper onics technology and the chinese one. the russian wins more smoke than fire. the video released by putin six days before his election is is six years old. but china. that's another story all together. they effectively tested these new generation missiles. fortunate -- unfortunately we dropped the ball. they cannot be adequately detected by ground-based radars. we have under funded that. it's great somebody with lots of stars on their shoulder is finally publicly stating how far

we are behind china right now. lou: disconcerting the general chose to make that analysis that we are this far behind. the speed with which we can catch up becomes critical here. so what do we do? >> this is -- i think most of people in the swamp know one of the core reasons why the president did not veto the omnibus was because of the defense spending that it guaranteed. we have not looked after our military for almost a decade and was convinced by certain cabinet members it is vitally important. there are issues with the wall, with planned parenthood, but we have to get our military up to snuff. we have a window thanks to the funding that has been approved. but it's a small window and it's closing. we have had a nuclear posture

review. we have had the nfc write a nukes jar strategy for the president. we have to get ready for space and systems that can detect hypersonic missiles. lou: we know the navy was testing a hypersonic weapon from nuclear subject marines in the race to have the most of advanced hypersonic missiles and weapons. >> that's right. we dominate not only in conventional forces but the standard nuclear capabilities whether it's a tip on a cruise missile or icbms. these are like ballistic missiles, but they come back into the atmosphere, very hard to identify, and traveling more than five times the speed of

sound. it's not just that we need this kind of technology, we need to be able to identify it and neutralize it before it hits its target. lou: i wanted to turn quickly to california, the lawsuit brought by the trump administration, the justice department against california. a dozen states are coming together with the administration in that in the amicus briefs. this is a state that is really waging war on the administration. where does it end and must it take up all of the court time available? >> it's not just waging war on the administration and the president. this is a state whose politicians are waging war on common sense. whether it's sanctuary cities or any other aspect of think you you get to determine federal immigration policy. it's clear in our constitution, there is one person who decide

on immigration policy, it's not the supreme court, it's not the governor of california, it's not independent mayors of a specific district. it's the president. the trouble is, there is an old saying, you deserve the politicians you elected to office, and california keeps re-elected these people and they are at odds with common sense. lou: and winning. up next, a growing revolt over those california sanctuary policies. one county joining the trump administration's lawsuit against the state. we'll tell you about that. congressman andy biggs joins us. he has been fighting to cut funding for sanctuary jurisdictions. he joins us more and more people have discovered something stronger... more dependable... longer lasting. in a chevy truck.

lou: orange county is fighting back against california's sanctuary laws protecting illegal immigrants. county supervisors voting to join the trump administration's lawsuit against the state, and the sheriff's department will

give them the ability to track down any criminals. good to have you with us, congressman. this is quite remarkable. 12 states now joining through amicus briefs the federal government lawsuit against california. orange county, a lot bed of common sense doing the same. and i love the sheriff's office posting a list of release dates of all inmates from which appropriate authorities can find out who they would like to greet at the door as they like. >> yes. i do, too. i think it's fantastic. i'm glad there are 12 states standing up. i wish the rest would all stand up. i think -- i offered an amendment to attack the sanctuary cities and states. you know, there is no reason in the world for these -- for this

state to basically thumb their nose at the federal government that are pursuant to the constitution here. and endanger their own communities. i don't understand that kind of thinking. so i applaud the orange county board and i support that sheriff. and i support that sheriff. there are individual communities take those steps. lou: what i don't understand is the justice department. the attorney general jeff sessions and why he's not moving as powerfully as he could as you state against sanctuary jurisdictions whether they be the state of california or any city because this is not you child's play. this is life and death in many cases. >> absolutely. one of the most of fundamental obligations of government toys protect the rights and safety of individuals. and if we are going to allow these cities and these

jurisdictions to put their citizens in harm's way, we are abrogating that trust that comes with the constitution. so i think we should be hammering home and also make sure there is some personal liability for policy makers who willfully put their citizens? jeopardy. lou: the state of california argues the great population including illegal immigrants who shouldn't be counts for the purpose of congress being represented by those districts. >> the census was designed for the purpose of apportioning congressional districts. that was the purpose of it. only people who are citizens can

vote. and their families. we want to count citizens. i have no problem questioning people will be are you a citizen. where you not a citizen? what you have going on is the census bureau is asking how many refrigerators and toilets. all kinds of personal questions. they should not be asking those questions. it's very legitimate to be saying are you a u.s. citizen. that's important. lou: anyone who thinks they are not involved in this should understand their state loses reputation often as a result because california which is not exactly a hotbed of reason and rationale has greater representation than is appropriate. let's turn to the wall funding. i know you voted against the spending bill, $1.3 trillion and

in some considerable measure because there was no funding if for the president's wall. are you astounded that your speaker, the speaker of the house, paul ryan, is opposing the president on fundamental issues of his agenda upon which he was elected in 2016? >> it's mind blowing me that the american people sent a clear message. we want immigration to stop, illegal immigration to stop. we want a wall built. if you look back to president trump he was in the middle of the pack toward the end until he said let's build a wall. that's what americans want. they don't want 30 miles here and 30 miles there. if you have a $1.7 trillion budget and take out the military spending, you have hundreds of trillions of dollars. you can move that payment over

to the wall. let's tax transfer payments. let's make a fee. if you are going to transfer money from the united states of america and send it back home, you could put a fee on that and that would pay for the wall. why would you take it from military spending. let's divert from the non-military spending. lou: there is that. to whatever degree the president is right to talk about it as a matter of national defense. it is the protection of the border. it is the defense our sovereignty across which meth am get means, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, the majority of it crosses that border. it's also smuggling taking place and perhaps yes terrorists which make its an urgent matter of defense. what do you think? >> i agree with you. it's an urgent matter. we need too get going on it

immediately. i will just reiterate this. we just spent enough money that you can keep the missions you have with the military and you can trust me, you can find $25 billion in the balance of that to make sure we put that wall up. it is national security. and again border security is imperative. that's part of the constitutional mandate, and we have to do that. lou: great to have you with us. thank you. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. do you believe california's left-wing pro criminal immigrant state government should possibly soon be seeking sanctuary from californians now intent on voting them out of office? cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. follow me on twitter, like me on facebook follow me on insta graham.

the 18th century. a relic of the 18th century? amazing. joining me now, fox business political analyst ed rollins. great to see you. the second amendment. >> first of all, our whole bill of rights was passed at the same time. you're going to get rid of the first amendment, the rest of it. it's ridiculous. and what makes it really absurd is he was on the court ten years ago when they argued the washington, d.c. versus the heller case which was the argument of you have to be a member of the la lish sha to maa gun and the court ruled 5-4 you didn't. he also should know that tns coteutiotheconstitution is not t to be changed. and it takes three-quarter os f the states in the country to put a constitutional amendment in. and there's only been one repeal

ever and that was the 21st which repealed the 18th which is alcohol. usually when you do an amendment it's to give people something, not take something away from people. lou: liberals, whether they call themselves republicans or not, seldom want to give them something. let's turn to, if we may, the census. this is a great argument. the attorney general of california clucking away it's not constitutional to ask someone if they're a citizen, taking a census of citizens. >> well, it's very critical thing to ask. and the reality is it's far more realistic today to know who your citizens are. you ask every kind of question in the world from how tall are you, what your origin is, what your sexual preference is and it's a simple question to say are you a citizen. it's an allocation of citizens. lou: that wouldn't kill you, scare you or intimidate you?

>> it's a confidential document. it's not like someone is going to knock on your door saying you're not a u.s. citizen, i'm going to throw you out. we need to know who our people are. lou: without question. and the estimates are as many as five congressional districts dis probably shouldn't exist in california. and that kind of madness, i mean it's overrepresenting a state that is flaunting u.s. immigration law and the constitution itself. >> well the whole argument you made before on the sanctuary city, it's real nice that jerry brown wants to let people in, illegals. lou: not so nice. >> well i'm just say, they don't necessarily stay in california. and you have an obligation, why the federal government controls who comes in and goes out. lou: mitt romney weigh in today on daca. i love this. he decided he was going to move to the right of president trump saying that they should be -- shouldn't be allowed.

not all daca as he put it, recipients should be in the state. your reaction. >> well i've watched romney for a long long time and i've watched him switch positions about 8,000 times. and i think the reality is president trump ought to realize if he gets elected to the senate in utah he's not going to be a friend. he's going to be a john mccain type of republican. lou: oh man. >> he just is. that's the reality of it. lou: just the thought of it. >> at this point in time when trump has cleared the field for him, you would think he would keep his mouth shut and be supportive of the president. lou: you don't think he's grateful enough? >> he's never been grateful. we have to elect republicans who are going to support the president's program. lou: a little late in utah to make that recommendation. >> unfortunately. lou: that will give them two senators who don't ware to

cooperate with the president or follow his lead. great to see you. ed rollins. up next, new evidence of incompetence and confusion. did we really need more evidence? at the fbi. and find out how the bureau batched efforts to get into a terrorist's iphone. it has something to do with leadership at the fbi. leadership at the fbi. we wanted to give cheru has no choice. she, and millions like her, must walk miles every day for dirty water. but together, we can end their walk ...by providing clean water - close by. instead of spending hours walking to get water that makes them sick, girls can be in a classroom that expands their minds and moms will gain back time to care for their families. sons and daughters can grow up strong ...finally free of sicknesses caused by dirty water. at world vision, care about clean water runs deep, deep enough to reach one new person

wray today stating the obviously finally admitting that the pib has been too slow in responding to request for documents related to the clinton e-mail probe and fisa court abuses. house judiciary committee chairman good lath subpoenaed the system last year. he's received 3,000 of 1.2 million documents so far. wray's remedy, he's now pledging to double the number of fbi staffers to 54 to expedite fulfilling the request. a new departmen newformer fbi dy told congress back in 2016 the agency couldn't access that phone and would need help from apple. it was not, as the iq put it,

fak keully credit. a unit in the operational technology gigs did have the ability to access the data. we know not what fbi director james comey, since fired, had on his mind. our next guest say the inspector general's report confirms his worst suspicions about the culture of coverups at the embattled justice department and fbi. joining us tonight, chris farrell, director of investigations and research for judicial watch. what was comey think in. >> there was another agenda going on here and i think the larger story was the fbi sneaking to get into every cell phone. why in the world would the fbi director come out nationally or internationally, publicly and reveal to the world that they've got a vulnerability, an intelligence cap they're not able to crack and that they would then run to court and make false statements while at the same time publicly shaming

apple. this is the weirdest event in investigative history in the last, i don't know, maybe five, ten years. why in the world would comey do that. and today's report just goes to show you what i talk about all of the time. the igs, they're where the truth goes to die. that thing is written in the worst double talk. you to parse every sentence in it to find out really in the end the fbi knew that they could get into the phone, they lied about it. they went public with it for some weird reason, lied in front of congress about it, lied to a court. the whole thing makes zero sense. but they put out a publication trying to put a smiley face on it. it's garbage gd it's unintelligible garbage. i couldn't go beyond the first page. that was it for me. but you raise an interesting point, comey car carrying out a

disinformation campaign using congress, using the american people as stage props. that's appalling. >> just think about it. the fbi director, he sat and has a press conference or a public event where he's speaking and says hey, g, we can't get into iphones. if that was true, why would he make that statement public. and he knew or hads to have known or had reason to know that his technical people were perfectly capable of getting into it. and if they weren't, guess who would be. the nsa. you do a request for assistance to a sister agency saying look, we need to get into this, we've got dead americans killed by savage terrorists and we're not going to play patty cake and talk about what we might be able to do. we need to figure out who these killers are and let's go after them. lou: let's turn to another incident that seems to be a form

of patty cake on the agency. the father of the pulse nightclub killer, omar mateen, turns out was a decade long fbi informant. what in the world was going on that they didn't know what he was up to, what his proximate family was up to. >> we obtained through our judicial watch foil investigation records and documents from the sheriff's office down there where the pulse nightclub shooting took place that showed in 2013 the fbi was frantically telling the sheriff's office that mateen was not, and they used capital letters, not a terrorist. there's a guilty knowledge because of this association with the father, who evidently was a confidential informant reporting on activities in the community and ties back to pakistan. there's something else going on. lou: we're showing you over your

shoulder, pictures two months of the shooting at the pulse nightclub, mateen's father about three or four seats behind hillary clinton at a campaign event. >> and one wonders if that was a directed task participation on behalf of the fbi. who knows. lou: who knows indeed. well if you don't, chris farrell, what we've learn is we soon will in nearly every instance. >> i'll find out. lou: let's turn to the department of justice, devin nen nunes, saying he gives it two week fors the doj to produce those documents requested by judiciary and oversight. 1.2 million. then we learn they've gotten a whole 3,000 documents already. and then here comes what i'll consider -- i'll clean up the clang wanting, a smart-aleck sprns fro wraresponse from frey.

>from wray.>> they should pretee getting ready for a press conference, one of their self-serving publicity stunts. and then mr. wray would apply the required assets to clear all of those records by lunchtime tomorrow. they need to impeach lesser officers. impeachment is not just for the president. impeachment is for people who are constitutional officers who are subject to congressional oversight. and if they keep getting told drop dead, whatever the language would be, they need to impeach these people. they can't indict them or try them but they can hold a political trial and that's called an impeachment. and these constitutional officers need to be held to account that way. lou: good counsel to the house. thanks so much, chris. good to have you with us. as always and be sure to vote in the poll tonight. the question is do you believe blizzard's left wing

arrested five members of the ms13 gang in connection with ten bruten murders. the arrests follow the trump administration's prioritizing of a crackdown on the violent street gang nationwide.

our fox news correspondent has the report. >> the suspects involved in the crimes are extremely violent. >> ten murders in 12 months. las vegas police all were committed tbi gang ms13. >> six of the ten victims were kidnapped before they were killed and their bodies dumped in the mountain area. >> two victims belong to the gang known for zero tolerance for snitching. >> all of the victims were shot or stabbed numerous times. >> tonight i'm calling on congress to finally close the deadly loopholes that have allowed ms13 and criminal gang to break into our country. >> ms13 was born in california in 1980s. the police largely contained the gang but the department of justice says a decline in prosecutions and limitations on i.c.e. agents to access county jails allowed the gang to rebounded. while a recent prosecution found that a third of its members entered the u.s. as unaccompanied children. >> in the course of your duties

if you come upon an ms13 case, let's work the, let's prosecute the case. we want to send a message. >> more recently ms13 moved to places like maryland, new york and virginia. these are the crimes committed by some 500 members. murder cases shown in red, green is assault, blue other crimes. >> like transnational gangs do, they go from city to city. it's not unusual to find them in places outside of the border. >> police believe the five suspects came to las vegas from l.a. and fresno to open a new chapter in sin city. all the suspects are in the u.s. illegally. three from el salvador and one from honduras. police are not release details on the juvenile suspect. they confiscated 18 handguns and rifles. lou: thank you very much up next, rhino mitt romney tries to take on the president. pretending he's tougher on trump

on illegal immigration. we'll tell you why romney appears to be the real immigration hawk. lou: mitt romney at theis.

beginning of his campaign for the senate from the great state of utah trying apparently to shake his rhino label ahead of the med terms telling voters at a recent event that he's a bigger immigration hawk than president trump.

the senate candidate now saying daca recipients shouldn't be allowed to stay in the country illegally, contradicting comments he made during his failed 2012 presidential run. joining us tonight, charlie hurt. great to have you with us. >> great to be with you, lou. lou: the campaign is on. and romney is evolving before our eyes. >> yeah. it just goes to show, man, these politicians, they will say absolutely anything. you can't believe a word out of their mouths. and it's why at the end of the day donald trump beat all of them, all 20-plus of them in 2016 and came out victo victorit the end because he was the one guy who sounded like he wasn't always lying. lou: and romney is always attacking trump or, as you say, lying. let's turn to the comments yesterday where he said, i'm also more of a hawk on

immigration than even the president. my view was, these daca kids -- if we could see the full screen, folks. there we go. i'm also more of a hawk on immigration. my view once these daca kids shouldn't be allowed to stay in the country illegally. this is romney running for president in 2012 saying, the people that received the special visa that the president put in place should expect that the visa would continue to be valid. i'm not going to take something that they purchased, well until today. he's now ready to take what they purchased. i mean you -- this guy is a nasty piece of business, attacking the president of the united states personally. and now misrepresenting his own position. >> yeah. let's not forget he ran a terrible campaign. 2012 is the year that republicans should have won. barack obama was, by that point, a very damaged political good.

he was a damaged president. the economy was in shatters. there was ab absolutely no reasn to give that guy a second term. and then what did republicans do? they fielded a choir boy who would say anything, absolutely anything. remember he reversed all of his positions from when he was governor of massachusetts in order to run for president. and then wound up losing. and i really do think that one of the undercover aspect os tf trump presidency is the fact that mitt romne mitt romney setp republicans very much to be willing to take a flyer with somebody that was far out of the sort of party mainstream or what was sort of acceptable as a party politician and do something radical with a guy that, you know, really take a chance on a guy. and i don't think any of the people who voted for donald

trump regret that decision. lou: how long do you think it will take for his opponent in that senate race to put the images of the dog on top of the romney, what was it, station wagon? >> yeah. but the problem with this is that for, you know, good americans all across the country, we need mit mitt romneo win the seat. we need a republican to hold it. but this is what you get with republicans. lou: as ed rollins says here every night, the need to elect republicans that are pro-trump and will follow the lead of the president. >> yeah. absolutely. lou: and the other folks -- well, in california, speaking of california where there are no republicans apparently, the sanctuary cities are starting to spring up, anti-sanctuary cities, something of a movement centered in orange county.

your thoughts? >> yeah. i mean, it really should come as no surprise to us that after years and years, decades of this celebration of lawlessness that suddenly you have people across the state who are willing to fight back. and i have to say -- i don't mean to overstate it but it's true. what we're watching is california is being torn apart it's the fault of all of these crazy left wing people who, for a very very long time, have decided that lawlessness is perfectly acceptable. they don't care about equal justice under the law. they don't care about the supremacy of the laws being applied. of course this was going to happen. lou: whether jerry brown, whomever the attorney general. you can go through the state government. i mean, it's radical left leadership in state government in that state. and what they're doing, i

certainly i don't believe is accidental. i believe they have a purpose, a goal, a strategy in place and that is to create as much chaos in which they'll chisel out some sort of future for themselves in the golden state. >> and the national democratic party has completely fallen into bed with all of them. these people are not a fringe of the democratic party. that's the mainstream of the democratic party. people at the national level just ten years ago were still sort of reasonable about this stuff. you had barack obama, hillary clinton, all of these democrats who are now completely open borders, total amnesty. they believed in building a wall back then and voted for building a wall back then. so it's a -- and i do think it's a fool's air rand.'s errand. lou: great to see you. that's it for us tonight. thanks for joining us.

tomorrow night ann coulter, victor davis hanson among our guests. please join us. thanks for being with us tonight. good night from new >> the one thing we noticed today more than anything is when the dow was up 280, the nasdaq was hardly out. as soon as the dow started coming up, they support the nasdaq. trying to a real tech wreck as they spoke ceo of mark zuckerberg said he will testify before congress. lauren: arises to under 50 points earlier that day. future is looking great at this time yesterday, but then we crater 344 in the end. train to the nasdaq lost almost 3% of its value. the biggest name
