president's success. we know he's serious, he's governing and attaching yourself to the president is the right thing to do. charles: we have live coverage starting at 8:00 with neil cavuto. and he'll go all through the night, but right now, here is. lou: . lou: president trump keeping another campaign promise pulling the united states out of the iran nuclear deal. we'll talk about this historic decision with dr. walid phares and dr. sebastian gorka. polls closing this hour in indiana, ohio, north carolina and west virginia. we'll be bringing you all of the latest results as they come in. plus analysis from the best

political strategists and the best of them all, ed rollins. congressional clamor to impeach rod rosenstein and hold attorney general jeff sessions in contempt of congress for stonewalling the congress' document request. congressman mark meadows has been leading that charge. president trump delivered today on his long-time campaign promise is to pull out of the iranian-obama nuclear accord, a deal the president says is defective at its core. he addressed the flawed obama deal from the diplomatic room of the white house. president trump: america will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail. we'll not allow american cities to be threatened with destruction. and we'll not allow a regime

chat chants death to america to gain access to the most of deadly weapons on earth. today's action sends a critical message. the united states no longer makes empty threats. when i make promises, i keep them. lou: the chairman of the conservative freedom caucus praising the president's decision to withdraw from the obama iranian nuclear deal saying the ineffective poll i have appeasement only emboldened the iranian regime. joining us, congressman mark meadows good to have you with us. your reaction to a lot of people making a big deal today out of

the president's decision to do exactly what he said he would do from almost the moment he entered the race in 2015. >> it is a big deal, lou. let me tell you why it's a big deal. you finally have a candidate when they get elected that did today what he had promised so many people he would do for a long time. so that's a big deal. they are making a big deal all the calamity that might come from withdrawing from this. but i can tell you having been on the forefront of those debates before it was signed into law. i can tell you not only is this a good decision. it is one that will keep americans safe. i applaud the president and his efforts and boldness in doing this. lou: he upset the present of the u.k., his friend emmanuel

macron. angela merkel, a person with whom he has considerable policy differences seems to accept where we are headed. he gave them all plenty of time to put together the basis of a new deal with iran. today he says he's still willing to negotiate a new deal with iran. >> that's the key point. he's not saying we don't do a deal with iran. what he's saying is that we'll only do a good deal with iran. i can tell you the deal that was done before in the five plus one had such unbelievable holes, it guaranteed a nuclear iran. so here he is about to embark on a trip top north korea to fix the last problem we had with poor negotiation. so it's better to go back to the

drawing board. hopefully our allies will see the wisdom in that over time. >> president trump is clearly setting himself apart from lesser leaders. most of of them in the european union. but around the world, who are recognizing the united states, the trump administration is driving the direction of geopolitical policy worldwide. >> he's not only driving the. he's leading it. and this president is leading, willing to do both things the face of grade sit civil. but it's -- great criticism. we have people in china. there will be a trip in the coming day to the north korea. foreign policy which was suppose to be thisresident's weakness is becoming his strength. i for one not only applaud it but welcome it and certainly will push back. if we want to talk about foreign

policy, you and i both knowy be -- i will be glad to go on your show and talk about the merits of this decision. lou: many decisions in my opinion made by house intelligence committee chair chan devin nunes. he's calling for a contempt citation against jeff sessions and possibly rod rosenstein. he has had a belly full of their stone wall and refusal to acknowledge the constitution and the oversight responsibilities of the u.s. congress. >> you are exactly right. chairman nunes has not only done an outstanding job, i had a conversation with him a few hours ago. he's meeting with his intel committee members as we ramp up the pressure. we have one real problem right

now. we have a department of just its under this administration that's saying they will not give documents to congress that's we are entitled to constitutionally. and we have a department of justice that's trying to write a narrative that suggests the american people don't need to sight. i'm not seeing a lot of difference in the trump administration d.o.j. and the obama administration d.o.j. we are going to put pressure on our leadership. one of two things will happen this week. either we'll get a contempt citation or get the documents. one of those two things will happen this week. lou: that's encourage. your leadership, speaker ryan and majority leader mcconnell have been at the very least obstructionists as far as

standing with the president against this justice department and this fbi whose upper management is absolutely corrupt to the bone and throughout their top echelon. why will the speaker not stand up for the president and what is right and for the congress which has a clear-cut strayed straightforward constitutional responsibility for oversight. >> this speaker has to take action. whether he supports the president or not, that's an independent decision only he can make with regards to his constituents i in wisconsin. >> it's a con state -- it's cons

abandoning this year. why is he still speaker? >> now we have a clear indication. the power of congress versus the power of the executive branch. it doesn't get any clearer than that what we are doing is holding our leadership accountable. i know i have had two conversations with the speaker about this. at this particular point, we are hopeful think see the light. and if not, they will need to feel the heat. lou: congressman mark meadows as always thank you. congressman mark meadows majoring a real difference in congress. up next within israel praising president trump for deciding to

withdraw from the obama new yarg deal with iran. >> president trump's commitment to confront the terrorist re gleem iran and his commitment to insure iran never gets nuclear weapons. louweapons.. turn up your swagger game with one a day men's.

lou: secretary of state mike pompeo is in north korea preparing for the president's planned meeting with leader kim jong-un. pompeo quietly made his second visit to the country as the president decided to withdraw the united states from the iranian nuclear deal. a time, date and location for kim and president trump to meet has been set up but not yet released to the public. a square in jishes * near the u.s. embassy will be named after president trump. the square in the new embassy opens next monday. joining me, a fo fox business

foreign policy expert dr. walid phares. the president's decision to withdraw the united states from the iran deal. your reaction? >> lou, what president trump has done today is historic. he changed live on tv u.s. foreign policy in a different strategic direction. we have stopped paying iran. we stopped sending and transferring money from iran. iranian regime was using that money to purpose weapons from russia including anti-aircraft and anti-missile, and he sent a message to the president, to the gulf. to the world. after that he's stwangtd region against this expansionism of

iran. but there is something else. he's sending a message to the europeans. he's saying okay, you want to do business with iran, good and do it. american economy or iranian economy, you decide. lou: the president making this decision against the counsel of french president macron and angela merkel of germany, and today secretary of state kerry. did i neglect to mention his name? the former president barack obama saying president trump is making a terrible mistake. this from a man who created the deal and which by the way i can still find no benefit whatsoever to the united states. can you? >> we were going in a very wrong decision strategically and

historically. what did iran achieve? it's controlling iraq, syria and lebanon with hezbollah. it's fighting in yemen. the largest terror networks on three continents. the previous admin have basically been the architect of. our allies in europe understand that. but their companies have invested with the iran deal. the statements of the president are a message to them. we'll give you six months. we'll give you some time. come be with us. and they will be terrorists anyway. lou: it appears that the president and kim jong-un are on the verge of hitting whatever the mark is that they sets which will guide both of them to a

negotiating table face to face if some undisclosed location and time. your thoughts on the likelihood now. we have seen so much progress in the preparation and lead-up to such a meeting. what do you think? will it happen? >> the way this happened the last few months, it started with north korea lobbing missiles to national islands in the pacific to now the possibility that's north korea is change its policies and strategies and this started because administration sent a strong message deploying the task forces, speaking clearly with the chinese. they understood they are completely isolated. i do believe there will be a summit between our president and the leadership of north korea. if we maintain the pressure.

lou: the fact that this president has been so successful in building a relationship with president xi jinping of china played an important part in that at a time when every one of his critics which it seems are limitless, until he rams success down their throats. not appears that relationship with xi he developed is also a critical component of the success he's building globally in the trump doctrine. >> it's true. the president understood china has changed. north korea was still in the cold war. china has moved to become an economic global power. doing a baffle power with china is one thing. but agreeing with them not to destabilized the economy is a

victory. lou: the president reminding everyone, we'll see. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. the question is, do you think the globalist establishment responsible for the disastrous iranian deal is in a state of panic over this president who means what he says, does what he says and puts america first. cast your vote on twitter arts lou dobbs. -- on twitter @loudobbs. polls closing in ohio, west virginia, and we'll have -- we'll have ed rollins here. ch ys 58,007 steps. that's the height of mount everest. because each day she chooses to take the stairs.

you wouldn't accept from any one else. so why accept it from your allergy pills? most pills don't finish the job because they don't relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one.

and 6 is greater than 1. start your day with flonase for more complete allergy relief. flonase. this changes everything. a few problems actually. we're overproducing, overcrowding, and overheating. we've got aging roadways, aging power grids, ...aging everything. you're kinda bumming me out clive owen. no, wait... it gets worse. we also have the age-old problem of bias in the workplace. really... never heard of it. seriously? it's all over the news. i've heard of it. ahh. the question is... who's going to fix all of this? an actor? probably not. but you know who can solve it? business. that's right. the best-run businesses can make the world run better. because solving big problems is what business does best. and doing good is just good business. shhh! sorry. so let's grow more food, with less water. and make healthcare, more healthy. it's okay, i've played a doctor. what have we got here? let's take on the wage gap, the opportunity gap, the achievement gap. together, we can tackle every elephant in the room. and save the rhino while we're at it. because, whatever the problem,

business can help. and i know who can help them do it... to bring together a group of remarkable people. to help save the universe... from paying too much on their car insurance. hey, there's cake in the breakroom... what are you doing? um...nothing? marvel studios' avengers: infinity war, in theaters april 27th. now...where were we? lou: well this is the place to

follow tonight's primaries. the polls have closed in indiana, but the republican senate primary race is still too close to call. businessman mike braun, wh so fr has an early lead over two sitting congressmen. luke messer and todd rokita. joining me now to start the evenings festivities on the primaries and what to expect, the chairman of the national republican congressional committee fox business political analyst, great fof yo to have yh me. >> the most important thing about this is every single candidate in these states, republican candidate, ran on trump's coattails. nobody was saying i'm not a trump fight. i'm 100% for trump. and there's two businessmen in there. these are states that we have to win. we have to dominate indiana.

that's our -- we have to win west virginia, we have to win these races. and the key thing is, we're not quite sure yet, but obviously the bottom line here is that the candidates, and we'll know pretty quickly, if we don' don'n these three, we don't hold the senate. braun is the one that's leading, a shelf-funded businessman, running the campaign -- lou: ro keita has been talking trump. >> i don't dispute that. i think the mood out there is the outer. if you're there, you may be in trouble. and even if you're a supporter. lou: city congressman. >> the city congressman. lou: and in west virginia, he's an outsider now but he was inside a federal penitentiary for a while, don blankenship. and he's got what they call a checkered background in the great state of west virginia.

he's a coal miner but also some of his miners died and he was charged with not following safety regulations and spent some time in jail as a result. >> spent a year in jail. as a matter of fact today, win lose or draw, he gets off of probation today. he talked about -- lou: what was the moral of the story. if you want to get off of probation, run for office? what's the deal? >> the bottom line is that people are willing to give a second chance to someone who is tough and wants to run. and he claimtion he's more trump than trump. lou: trump says he is. as a matter of fact he says don't vote for him. >> the trauma is that there will be people who will stay home because of the mining situation. but we'll see. whoever wins any of these races -- lou: you don't suppose the left-wing pollsters are out there pushing him, finding it convenient. >> i think pollsters are having a hard time measuring the electorate out there.

the president has the highest approval ratings, higher than obama had, higher than bush had at this time. lou: probably ten points high enthan what they're saying. >> i think it's going to be a good day. ohio, the governor's race, the most anti-trump guy on the planet is kasich, his lieutenant governor, everybody running against him. to a certain extent, brown is the other senator there who should be beaten, should have been beaten six years ago. lou: do you think sheriff brown is in trouble there? >> i hope he is. lou: a wish and a hope. >> a wish and a hope. i just don't think he fits the state. he's really liberal. lou: left-wing communist? >> something like that. lou: anti-trump. >> that's not a good combination. >> sheriff brown is one of the left wing memberses of the senate and has been for years.

thanks so much. appreciate it. we continue in one moment and when we do, we'll take a look at the unredacted rosenstein scope memo. are you kidding? no. judicial watch's christopher rale joins us. he's been leading the charge to get the truth out of the justice department. he joins us here next. ma

lou: four states, four primaries.

we're following all of it. the polls have closed in west virginia where fox news can now project that senator joe manchin will easily win the democratic primary. but we don't know who manchin will face in nevada. it'november.it's too early to se most controversial candidate amongst all of the candidates, don blankenship will prevail in that republican primary. we haven't even got the vote count going yet because it's so minimal. but we will have that for you in just moments. can we go back to indiana and take a look at what is going on there with that race? have we got the numbers you can put up there? okay. they're running on the banner below me i am assured.

so we will get -- we'll have all of that as the numbers bill. it's going to be exciting. i promise you, it's going to be exciting. the justice department can soon provide judicial watch, speaking of exciting, with a key long sought after document related to the mueller witch hunt. the department of justice notifying the government watchdog that it may provide previously withheld material from the august 2nd scope memo written by deposi deputy attorny general rod rosenstein. to tell us all about it, chris farrell joins us. first, congratulations. this looks like possibly this is going to be a very big deal. >> well, we got to press and press and press to get this memo released to the public because it will unlock a lot of this mueller special counsel operation. the public is owed an answer as to what his mission statement

was. when we first asked for it, the justice department denied that it existed. and we had to sue in october and they begrudgingly admitted that there was a scope or a mission statement. and now we have a three-prong attack, judicial watch in the courts, members of congress, people like mr. ne nunes, mr. da sanities, some committee chairman and now judge ellis. now there's three different prongs to this attack. and we hope that our efforts will finally get the scope document released so the public can see what mr. mueller has been supposedly up to. lou: and we should also include the judge who dismissed the special counsel's efforts to delay arraignment in the case of the russians. >> right. lou: i mean, it's -- this is a mess created by a special

counsel who is so deeply and fundamentally conflicted and frankly they are partisan, they are politically corrupted by the presence of what the president called 13 angry democrats, many of whom have had their prosecutions overturned and who has wronged individuals and their families. it is really a disturbing, disturbing set of circumstances that surround bob mueller's special counsel group. >> and remember, lou, mueller was running around for three months without a scope or a mission statement. he was appointed in mid may -- lou: may 17th. >> it wasn't until august that rosenstein finally generated a document describing what it is that he was supposed to be doing. so he was an unguided missile with no accountability, with no documented authority, just doing whatever he damn well pleased.

lou: and how -- when will be your first independence occasion that you will have at least some of that language that's been redacted on the august 2nd memo unredacted? >> i'm hoping it's a matter of weeks. i mean, frankly, they love the foot drag and slow walk the stuff. they say they're evaluating it for consideration of release. they could not put any more conditional clauses in that sentence. but we're confident that there will be sufficient pressure from congress, our legal efforts and then also from the judiciary, from the judges involved in these cases that they cannot stall. it's much like the nunes men mo. you'll recall the release of the memo was supposed to bring about the downfall of the republic and then surprise surprise, everyone read the three-page memo and confirmed what people suspected all along, and somehow we're still all alive and breathing.

lou: well, we are. but there is -- our airways are constricted by a justice department and an fbi. >> they want to strangle it. lou: so corrupt that it is extraordinary. >> they want to strangle it. believe me. lou: i want to turn to, again, the mueller legal team. judge ellis, t.s. ellis, the district court judge in virginia. >> right. lou: basically being con d con a scended to by the special counsel attorney present at the hearing not recognizing that the judge is handling contemporaneous espionage cases, has the highest clearance as much judges in point of fact. and the judge was with great humor and patience, i thought, reminding him of the fact that he has available to him secure

lines and handles classified material all of the time. yet he tried to run the same game against a district court judge hearing that important case against paul manafort. acting more like -- i mean, thiw good is a special counsel persist in acting like some sort of element of a national police force, a secret police force as does the mueller special counsel? >> yeah. this invocation of classified information is an attempt to browbeat both the press, frankly, and public officials. look, it's the last refuge of scoundrels and cowards. when everything else fails you say it's classified, you can't possibly see in. this. and frankly it's a lot of garbage. we saw this with the nunes memo.

you'll recall five fbi experts went over and tried to threaten the president and general kelly saying they could not possibly release the nunes memo, it would be the end of the world. again, the same phony classification line. and of course when you sell the nunes memo, nothing was put in jeopardy. no sources or methods. lou: we still don't know everything about jfk in this country. the assassination of john f. kennedy. you can make a pretty good case that this government and this establishment and this deep state has been immensely successful in keeping the public from the knowledge that is in the possession of our federal government. and it's really getting to be a tiresome and i think now dangerous practice on the part of the deep state control elements of the federal government. >> lou, this is information i got just before coming into the

studio. the sessions justice department has now decided that the records we want, which are interview records of president obama, valley jarrett and rahm emanuel. , with respect to rob ba goi vich, the former governor in jail, they don't want to turn over the investigative memos, the session justice department, because they think he may have post conviction release requests. lou: post conviction what? >> relief. in other words, the evidence is good enough to put him in jail but they're so frantic not to release the 302s, the investigative memos of president obama, valerie jarrett and rahm emanuel, that they will do anything, say anything to prevent that information from becoming public. lou: what do you do when conspiracy theories play out as if they're real?

>> we keep fight in court is what we do. we're not going to give up. we're not. lou: at least they didn't say national security. you and everybody there at you dish watch has got to be relieved and a little excited that they've come up with a new inventive reason for no one in the public to put their prying eyes on those documents and records. i'm only partly kidding. chris farrell, congratulations again. as always, thank you for what you and judicial watch do. be sure to vote in the poll tonight. do you think the globalist establishment responsible for the disastrous iranian deal is in a pa panic over a u.s. presit who means what he says, does what he says and puts america first up next, president trump's approval numbers keep rising and he keeps yet another campaign promise. more on this president's winning week as we continue. stay with us.

lou: new york's former attorney general eric snyderman resigned after four women accused him of physical abuse. president trump back in 2013 forecasted his downfall. he tweeted this. remember, this is five years

ago. weiner is gone, spencer is gone. next will be lightweight ag eric snyderman. is he a crook? wait and see. snyderman's ouster leaves mueller without one of his allies. he teamed up with mule tore investigate former trump campaign chairma chairman manaf. just last month san diego county officially joined supporting president trump's lawsuit against california's sanctuary law. and president trump's approval numbers surging despite a daily onslaught by the national left-wing media. real clear politics' veal that the president's approval rating has risen 6 points. 90% of this left-wing's media's

coverage of the president trump has been negative this year and on wall street, to the obama iranian deal being scuttled by this president, many were quick to say markets are spooked by the president's decision. but they had it wrong once again. fake news i think is the expression. down r dow gang three point, rkp down one. 3.7 billion shares on the big board. listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. president trump blows up the disastrous obama iranian deal. we take up the american first trump foreign policy doctrine. dr. sebastian gorka joins us here next.

lou: tonight's quote of the evening in honor of president trump's bold and daring leadership both at home and around the world. it was ronald reagan who said, quote, the future doesn't belong to the faint hearted. it belongs to the brave. joining us tonight, former strategist to president trump, fox news national security strategist dr. sebastian gorka. great to have you with us. we've got four primaries under way and as we take a quick peek, we're not seeing trends that look particularly decisive.

but -- because the numbers are just -- even though four primaries are closed in four states, we're looking at numbers that are still so small. i want to talk to you about the president's decision to withdraw the united states from the iranian deal. and then almost as quick as you can say we're withdrawing, as the president did, former president barack obama thinking he should add his voice to his shadow emissariries like john jn kerry and say the president's decision is misguided, as he put it. your thoughts. >> i've read the pronouncement from on high by the former president. number one, it's unseemly, former presidentst shouldn't do this, especially within a year or so of leaving office. secondly, it's clear that barack obama still lives in a fantasy land. number one he says the president's decision today undermines our credibility as a

nation. but going on an apology tour doesn't. treating our friends like israel as enemies doesn't. and treating our enemies like friends, like iran, doesn't undermine our credibility. and then the cherry on top, lou, is when he said at the end of the day the problem is that iran was not in violation of the jcpoa. well you viewers can google one phrase, heavy water and jcpoa and they'll see that iran was not only in technical breach but also in breach of the spiritual character of this whole deal. lou: and the united states still without direct ability to inspect. >> yes. lou: -- those sites in i iran. as if we should be humble to the point of allowing an international agency to whifng around the iranian desert in search of nuclear weapons or high grade nuclear fuel.

the europeans are interesting here. the president has brought the europeans so far in their thinking, eve angela merkel at least moving up the percentage of her expenditures. improving it. many of the european countries, nato countries moving up their budgets, still not in accordance with the treaty but moving in the right direction and taking the president's counsel and guidance and focusing nato on the most -- the current threats in the region. it's stunning to me that angela merkel, that teresa may, the uk prime minister, don't really get it. that they are simply way behind the man who is on the right side of history and that's president trump. >> well, this has been

developing over decades in europe and it's one of the reasons that i'm here lou and a proud american. there's this kind of denial of reality. there's a collectivist mind-set and this elite attitude that simply rejects common sense. and that's why brexit happened and in fact that's why donald trump was elected president. but these people like merkel and may are still trapped inside this alternate universe. don't worry. they've got seven more years to get used to donald trump and they'll fo follow his lead eventually. lou: with that seven years the president will accomplish a great deal. i doubt very seriously whether merkel or may will be in office to benefit from the tutorial that he will surely offer. the obama statement today, following in the footsteps, if you will, of john kerry who is playing a shadow game, meeting

with the iranian foreign minister counseling what we can -- we don't even have to guess. this is a violation of the logan act, as they say. but that's not prosecutable, at least it hasn't been in recent times. what is the president to do. this is an annoyance. there are flees o fleas on his t they persist. >> she could get on th on and ae question. general flynn had has mandate, the only high ranking post not requiring congressional approval and so he was mer mitted and allowed to contact those such as the russian ambassador and then he gets charged with a federal technicality. and then we have kerry who had

no mandate, no authority, no standing and nothing happens to him. one thing, lou. strip all of these people of their security clearances. start with kerry, start with brennon and all the way down. lou: brennon, for all i know comey still has his. >> yes. lou: clapper lying to congress and just about everyone. >> all of them. lou: it's tragic that they would be accorded those clearances. mueller, after a year of his investigation, succeeding on the successfully following the fbi investigation of russian corruption -- by the way, the fbi, weren't they the ones that were supposed to detect and defend the country against russian interference in our elections ? -l two years of it, they have nothing to offer. at what point -- and now rudy giuliani, the president, one of the president's attorneys, is that talking about sitting down

with the president and setting conditions for that. whenever attorney i talk with on this broadcast says it's a very, very dangerous idea. >> well, the latest news reports within the hour state that mueller is refusing written responses from the president. in that case, it's very simple. mr. president, you cannot be subpoenaed. the case law is clear. joe digenova, victoria toensing made it clear, you cannot subpoena a president because of the checks and balances. as a result, the mueller investigation, it's done. it's over. lou: digenova and toensing, pretty good counsel i think, if not the very best. >> oh yes. lou: we thank you for your counsel as always. that's it for us tonight. we thank you for being with us. tomorrow night congressman jim jordan among our guests.

these be with us. and neil cavuto begins our national election coverage, only four states. i'm going to call it national because he has that kind of standing. stay with us. . you're watching fax business network coverage of the 2018 primary elections. here is neil cavuto. >> if you think about these up for grabs today in the various primary races, west virginia, indiana, ohio, north carolina, collectively they represent 50 electoral votes. those are all wins for donald trump in the last go around. so he got all of those 50 electoral votes and in a few of the states he won by big margins. in fact a lot of people are saying the trump tail effect has to continue and probably will continue. for thos some of those he blessy backing and some of those just
