>> exactly. >> good evening everybody, our top stories kim jong-un has decided apparently to play games , again. the north korean dictator pulling out of a summit with the south koreans and now he's threatening to cancel his much anticipated meeting with president trump. we take up the possible white house response, dr. sebastian gorka joining us here tonight. the department of justice continues to stonewall congress, missing their own deadline to hand over documents related to james comey's hand-picked leaker , daniel richmond. we'll take that up as we discuss the deep state's tip using effort to obstruct congress as

it seeks to exercise its constitutional oversight responsibilities, judicial watches crist farrell joining us tonight as well and voters heading to the polls in pennsylvania, nebraska, idaho and oregon, deciding key primar ies that will set the tone for the upcoming mid-terms perhaps, and here to tell us what it could all mean for the president's america first agenda , the dean himself, ed rollins new york post columnist, pulitzer prize winner michael goodwin. our top story kim jong-un appears to be on the verge of blowing up peace talks ahead of the summit that is planned for him and president trump next month, north korea state media is saying a planned meeting between north korea and south korean officials at the dmz has been canceled over upcoming military exercises, between south korea and the united states. the state department says those drills aren't meant to be provocative they've been defensive throughout the decades

the united states going forward with its planning nonetheless, for the singapore summit, scheduled for june 12. the real story right now, may actually be playing out at north korea's remote nuclear test site this image shows you the area on april 20 just days before the underground nuclear testing infrastructure collapsed. this is the same site just over a week ago, may 7. many of the buildings and storage facilities have been removed by the north koreans the grounds surrounding those structures seem to be further degraded suggesting a complete abandonment could be underway. for more now on the situation in north korea, politically and at that test site, we're joined by fox news national security strategist, sebastian gorka. dr. gorka great to have you with us let's start with as the president said throughout this process, with kim jong-un, we'll see. well what we're seeing right now is annoying if not troubling.

>> yes, indeed and i'm disturb ed by the fact that he may have been given a copy of the president's book, the art of the deal, by dennis rodman when he visited, but i'm not sure kim has read the book because in chapter 2 the president makes a very very simple statement. never get so vested in a deal that you're not prepared to walk away from it and the president has signaled that, if this doesn't go the way that it's meant to go in terms of full denuclearization of the peninsula, the president will walk away from the table. so if he wants to play games with this very very important strategic issue he's testing the wrong president. lou: without question and kim jong-un also set himself up for a series and a set of expectations that were unthinkable before the president

made the offer to sit down and meet with him, which no other president has ever done. kim jong-un has so much to lose here, that it is all but in conceivable that he would waste this amazing opportunity. >> yes, i think this is the most important point you're absolutely right, lou. he has everything to lose, after 65 years, he opened a window of opportunity to replace an actual peace treaty which is a monumental step for him to take but to make this brinkmanship, to say this is all a shell game he's going to put himself in a very very lonely place, and he's going to have the might of the american capacity diplomatically economically and with regards to sanctions fall on his head, so i always said be very very leary. it's not very far like reagan said in this case it's a miss trust and verify and he may

actually proving us the skeptics to be right unfortunately. lou: i think we're still it's my judgment at least that we're some time away from determining, you know, which is the illuminated path whether it be optimism or possess a mix about what can come of this, the president nonetheless deserves such great credit for getting to this point, and if in point of fact kim jong-un reverts to type here, his future is all but assured and a very ugly prospect for him indeed. let me turn to if i may the relationship between north korea , china and the trade talks with china going on right now between the trump white house led by steven mnuchin and president xi, whose very upset about the prospect of seeing

second largest telecommunications company badly and roughly penalized for defying and violating u.s. sanctions against trade with both north korea and iran. the president stunning people talking about losing too many jobs in china, this america first president. this is a almost a if you will a disruption in the universe the america first president talking about saving chinese jobs after the 600 billion a year in stolen intellectual property, technology, approaching half a trillion dollars in trade deficits and the greatest transfer of wealth in human history, from here to china. what in the world is going on? >> it's the president's style. this is what he does. you know as well as anybody he's a disruptor and if disrupting

the situation requires a little hat tip to our adversaries that's fine. it's just a verbal statement. it doesn't change the indices of the american market. lou: but excuse me, he has ordered commerce secretary will be ross reverse those penalties and reverse that direction which is a national security matter. it has really nothing to do with trade. it has everything to do with u.s. national security, u.s. international geopolitical interest and the defiance of the chinese and the north koreans, of u.s. sanctions against two, the two largest state sponsors of terrorism. >> no, i agree. i absolutely agree. my eyes were the scales fell from my eyes when i worked in the white house and i got to see all of the classified briefings on china i went to do counterterrorism for the president very rapidly realized

the only strategic threat we face as a nation on the long term is china, and it's economic it's military, it's diplomatic, it's financial, but as long as we have people like wilbur, as long as we have people like ambassador lighthouse erin the building, i am not worried. i am not worried. trump will still be trump and he came around. he did a 180 in the first three months he came around and he understood the threat from china this may simply be a blip on the radar but we will get back on course very very rapidly, lou. lou: from your lips to president trump's ears if you will. let's turn to the house of representatives, the president's lunch today with the republican leadership and the senate. again the president making a perfectly rational and a critically important recommendation to that leadership, namely end the obstruction of the democratic party and breakthrough and move

to 51 votes and end this absurdi ty. too much is at stake the appointment of judges, the confirmation of hundreds of administration officials, and mitch mcconnell and paul ryan frankly, they could give lessons to senator schumer in obstructionism. >> yeah, i always ask a very simple question, wherever i am if i'm speaking publicly in front of a conservative audience tell me, what has the gop done for your president? america chose donald j. trump in the last 15 months what have they done for him? there's a handful of people who are good people of fighters but literally it's about six people in the gop on the hill. the rest especially the leadership have often left our president out to dry whether it was on on care or whether it was on multiple other issues such as presidential appointments, so

they have a very short window to realize in november if they don't hitch their wagon to the trump train they will pay the price and they will lose their c ushy positions. i had lunch with two of the members on the hill. when they say all the people care about is whether they get the office with the fireplace and the suv to run around d.c., that's not representing the american people. lou: don't forget the 757 for those quiktrips home. >> yeah. lou: dr. sebastian gorka great to have you with us. appreciate it. >> thank you, lou. lou: up next the stonewalling goes on, there is no meeting tomorrow with lawmakers nunes and gowdy. we'll be talking with judicial watch's chris farrell after the break about the latest efforts to view documents or at least talk about the documents that they're not allowed to view about the contents of a top secret intelligence source. who is the spy in the 2016 trump

campaign? we continue in one moment.

retail. under pressure like never before. and it's connected technology that's moving companies forward fast. e-commerce. real time inventory. virtual changing rooms. that's why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent network speed

across multiple locations. every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver. lou: the department of justice saying it would respond today to lawmakers seeking documents about former fbi director james comey's friend columbia law

professor daniel richmond or if you will, well comey's friend and sge, special government employee. comey used richmond to leak his memos about his meeting with president trump to the media, but at this hour, there are still no details or no direction given about how the doj will actually address the request. that's sort of par for the course is it? fox news was first to report that richmond had a special status at the fbi, as a special government employee for at least an 18-month period. richmond had a security clearance, he had badge access to the fbi building in washington. government transcripts also indicate richmond had talking points about the fbi's handling of the clinton e-mail investigation. he was a fully-armed sge. comey recently appeared on fox news, attempted to explain why he never revealed richmond's connection to the fbi in his

special role. >> you call him a good friend and a professor but you did reveal that you'd hired him as a special government employee for the fbi. >> to work on special projects, why? >> because it wasn't relevant. he was fbi special government employee until february of 2017. >> did you leak other things to mr. richmond? >> yeah, i don't consider what i did with mr. richmond a leak. i told him about an unclassified conversation with the president. lou: really? well joining us now chris farrell director of investigations and research for judicial watch great to see you chris. >> hi, lou. lou: extraordinary. the former fired fbi director decides that it was an un classified meeting with the president and that it wasn't a leak. are you fully satisfied? >> it's nauseating. he's a disgrace and it's barely

tolerable to watch him with his smug, sort of self-satisfied approach where he gets to decide what is or isn't applicable to him with respect to the law and realize now, comey is also invoked richmond as being his personal attorney, so he's trying to cover every base of it actually asked tough questions of either comey or richmond, that's the nature of the relationship was, what communications they had, what projects he worked on. i'm happy to report to you though that judicial watch will sue to get richmond's records because as a special government employee, there are certain government records and details about his employment status that we will obtain and we will make public. lou: you know, i applaud as you know everything the judicial watch does because with our judicial watch efforts we would know so much less but i am

deeply frustrated and i think i'm not certainly alone amongst tens of millions of americans. when i look at what's gone on, president trump sworn into office on january 20, 2017, we're 16 months later, and this ignorance goes on and on and on, and truly our government is captive of a corrupt legal system, a corrupt justice department, a corrupt set of judges, a corrupt government, a deep state and the obstruction ism of the left and the dems, and i don't see it getting better any time soon. my god, what in the world will we tolerate next? >> i would just say the lesson here, i think, for the president and for those that serve him and his inner circle is that it's not time to fight like hell. this kind of sitting back and

letting it play out and letting all these characters kind of run the tables, make their various declarations, moving the ball, and look this is really not a legal investigation. this is a slow motion political coo that's being carried out by a legal processes. lou: let me turn, i think you're exactly right, chris. but as i look at what's happening, we have a judge deciding to throw out the manafort civil trial but wants to preserve in the criminal case the questions raised by manafort 's attorneys about the scope of the mueller investigation and what they claim to be and i think with straightforward evidence, a gross abuse of power beyond the scope of anything invision no matter what it was, rod rosenstein had in mind that is to frame the president most likely amongst those options,

and here we are. we have a corrupt leadership of congress that are doing the bid ding of their billionaire masters, and the elite establishment, how do we break out of this? >> like i said i just think that the president and his inner circle need to go on the offense and that means rosenstein needs to be talked to in a way that it's clear to him that the jig is up. mueller, his investigation needs to be shut down and not be terribly politic about it because no one is being that way towards the president, you have this decision this afternoon from judge amy berman jackson, which runs 180 degrees opposite of sort of the philosophy or the thinking of judge ellis but look no one should be surprised. judge jackson is the same judge that ordered the catholic church

to provide abortion services and birth control in accordance with obamacare so that's her thinking and she likewise threw out a case of benghazi family survivor s who are looking to sue under wrongful death claims against hillary clinton so that's judge jackson's pedigree legally so no one should be surprised. lou: it is a pedigree if you will. it seems pedigree is too nice a word for what results in a judge with those conflicts and biases and references. i just wonder at this point, if we reached, how close are we to that inflection point which the american people says the hell with it, we know we can't get a fair trial, we know that we can't trust a judge who has a different view on anything whether it's personal belief

system or religion and ideology, and this president is caught in this immense dilemma because the national left wing media is corrupt beyond description. >> well there is no intellectual honesty on that front. there isn't even a pretense presenting various opinions and sides and arguing it out. that's compromised. that's why i say this is a political process masquerading as a legal process. these are people the establishment and the sort of embedded political operatives who are dedicated to making sure there's no second term for president trump. lou: right and as i look at his legal team and watch those who have come and gone i wonder if there's a one of them that's a street fighter that has any guts , has the mental

intellectual power at their disposal to actually do something. it's beyond defensiveness, it's passivity, it's gut wrenching to watch because this president deserves so much better from his own party from the leadership in the house and the senate and it goes on and on. >> too many attorneys operate from the standpoint of making fear-based decisions. they're worried about exposure, worried about precedent, worried about discovery, worried about all these things that really it comes from a point of fear rather than taking an aggressive posture and being able to confront and oppose the people that are going after the president. instead they're always worried about what might happen instead of what they can do and that mentality the ability to shift to the -- lou: how quickly can he turn it around? >> he can do it with a thanks

very much i'm doing this anyway decision and i think that that's the position that the president, he needs to make a political calculation about a legal question, and that's politics and the law don't line up one for one so he has to say look, i understand the legal exposure, that's fine, i'm going this way anyway. lou: do you know the other problem chris is we talk about the trump white house. he doesn't have a great political mind beyond his own, in that white house. he doesn't have people with guts , with passion, and point of fact what he's got a bunch of leakers he calls them traders and i think appropriately so. he has a group of people who are representing the establishment, the globalist elite he is beset from every quarter both there smirking smug confidences offering nothing but a very friendly couple of poison that will destroy the america first agenda that he has run so successfully on, which has

animated his policies in the first year and a half to unprecedented historic achievement, and you know, a special place in hell is reserved for every one of those people in his white house. >> who are the president's friends and what have they done for him? lou: we don't even have to say lately. chris, thanks so much. chris farrell. thanks, lou. lou: the great thing about chris farrell and judicial watch we know what they're doing late lay and it's a lot for this country. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. the question is do you think kim jong-un would be well advised to understand he's dealing with president trump? president trump, who doesn't stand for the gameplaying and insults tolerated by previous presidents. cast your vote on twitter at lou dobbs and follow me on twitter, like me on facebook and follow me on instagram lou dobbs tonight. up next here the president's poll numbers rising they continue to rise while the dems are trying their best to insult and tear him to pieces and by

the way, now they're trying not to embarrass themselves in the mid-terms, ed rollins, michael goodwin join me here next, we'll be right back.

lou: four states holding primaries tonight. and joining me now, former reagan white house political director ed rollins and michael goodwin. ththese primaries, we're moving forward, it may seem at a snail's pace. anything in particular that you think will come of the four primaries that we should particularly watch? >> i think for republicans everything is about holding the house. and therefore you simply want to have -- well the senate too. you want to have good candidates who can win general elections.

lou: have they got them? >> they're in these races but now they've got to win against the purity push from both ends. lou: the purity push, michael styles. do you agree? >> i'm not about purity. i'm about winning candidates and sometimes the most pure do not win. at the end of the day they've got a reapportion nate plan. basically you have seven seats that are open for all practical purposes and question have four or five republican seats that could be in jeopardy. we could lose four or five states iseatsin the state. lou: in which state? >> pennsylvania. the senate race is one we have to win. casey is a strong candidate. he's been in office a long time father was in office. we've got to win there. and to a certain extent we've got to make sure -- lou: who month amongst the repus is most likely to prevail for the senate?

>> bar let to. he's trump's guy. lou: a great guy. >> he's a little underestimated in the state but a viable candidate. but ka casey is tough. the auditor general treasure, been on the ballot -- lou: he's been there a long time and pro-life which will matter with a lot of conservative voters. as we're watching what is happening, the discharge position now sitting there percolate in the house awaiting for the rhinos and the dems to pretend that they've put paul ryan in just a box where he has to pass amnesty for daca. this looks like it could be the death the nel for the republican party, at least for the midterms if they move ahead. >> if they try to slip this thing in without a lot of public discussion but the public feels it was a obama back room deal, i

think it's -- lou: can i interrupt you? what has ryan done that isn't a back room deal? i don't know that he's permitted a single -- perhaps a couple of amendments. but no real debate. i mean everything he's doing he holds a smoke filled awches figuratively speaking. >> what i was going to say is this is another piece of proof that republicans deserve to have a leader who is going to lead them in -- you know, after the election. and i think this kind of thing that he's just sort of -- lou: who's going to lead it up to it. not going to be ryan. >> that's what i'm saying. a lame duck now is going to hurt them in the fall. why don't they have that leadership vote now. lou: do the republicans have anybody with guts? is there one republican anywhere in that leadership or wherever who has guts, who has principle, who is a street fighter and

street smart? >> devin nunes is one name i would say. lou: okay. >> more on the freedom caucus, 35 members. the problem that you face today, if this happens and they do this discharge and the democrats and the minority control legislation, why not just make the democrats the majority party again. lou: that's exactly what they will do. thathat's the effect. >> i was the speaker i would say this thing is dead. you move any name on that petition, start taking names off. lou: if you were speaker there would be an honest man in the position. >> well, thank you. lou: that means it's incomprehensible that you would attach it too the current leadership. >> to be a good speaker you have to be tough on use your chairman, use your rules committee -- lou: he's being tough. holding the entire commerce hostage to the business round table, and the list goes on, wall street, the corporatists.

ryan and mcconnell sold out a long time ago and they're staying bought. what do you think? >> i believe that ryan could step down as speaker now. i believe that he -- lou: don't think they have the guts to push him out that's a good question. i don't know the answer. lou: sometimes in ca darwinism,f they don't have the guts to put a leader no tyke them to the midterms, they're going to get exactly what nature decided is the result. >> once you've made a decision to leave a job, you're done. everything that's going to happen, you're going to be passive. he should just get out of the way. >> and being lame duck -- people argue about raising money. plenty of money. everybody wants to be on one side or the other here and the republicans have plenty of money. they're not going to lose the majority because of money. they're going to lose for lack of ideas, lack of candidates and will power. >> and energy. lou: right now let me just put you real quickly on. the spot.

are the republicans going to lose the house? >> i think so. >> right now, yes. lou: ed rollins, michael goodwin, thank you both. up next, president trump talking up his america first agenda to a group of senate republican leaders. they haven't always been so conservative. why are they now. we take that up with former congressman jason chaffetz here insurance that won't replace the full value of your new car? you're better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with new car replacement, if your brand new car gets totaled, liberty mutual will pay the entire value plus depreciation. liberty stands with you. liberty mutual insurance.

somewhere are just rules. and i think the president brings up a good point. if you're going to pass appropriation bills, let's do it at 51 votes. that's the videotaper. lou: is there any truth to the suspicion that the reason mcconnell keeps things looked up and gives schumer 30 hours of debate and slows down legislation is to that the establishment, the business round table, the chamber of commerce get exactly what they bought and paid for in ryan and mcconnell? >> i don't know that it's a one for one. i don't know that you can attribute it like that. i can look at the results. and the results are you have -- president trump has more than 100 nominees that are sitting there waiting to get put into place. you have a budget process that's broken. we have appropriations that are record high levels, a rescission package that's trying to go through. we spend more than $12 billion a day. and if you want a different result, something has was key ty

to the republicans, you're going to have to do something differently. lou: and mcconnell, what are the odds that he'll do anything differently? does this president have any. >> no. lou: i thought i would ask anyway. i was hoping on the bolt on blue. the deep state, the justice department, as you know, i mean they persist. the deep state is feeling actually i think stronger, not weaker, telling the congress to go to hell. trey gowdy and devin nunes, despite devin nunes' great successes in leading the house intelligence committee and doing yeoman work while doing it, this looks really bad as if congress has given up its oversight responsiblitieresponsiblitiesre. >> every republican should stand behind devin nunes wb, trey gowy trying to do, to provide base

click oversight of the department of justice. one of my biggest disappointments is attorney general sessions. i think he's there in name only. and until president trump puts in a new attorney general who can actually do the job, we're going to continue to have these problems. lou: let me ask you a political question. and it follows -- talking earlier on the broadcast with chris farrell of judicial watch. he says the time of being a nice guy is over. it's time to engage the deep state, the opposition dems and the left and raise holy hell about the special counsel who is trying, as he put it, to carry out a coups against this president. your thoughts ? -l. >> i think across the board, when are the republicans going to start to play offense. they have the house, the senate and the presidency. but they play so nice, so

polite, you can play by the rules but you have something in rod rosenstein who is not doing what she's supposed to do. yank him up before congress, have his raise his right hand and have him explain why dndz dn nunes with all of the authority that he needs can't see those documents. there is so much that has to be done but they got to play offense. lou: and the leadership of the house, the leadership of the senate, talk about passive and inconsequential as they do not support the president, it took vice president pence how long to finally say enough with the special counsel, wrap it up and let's move on. the vice president himself is being accused of creating a presidential campaign in waiting here, and the president doesn't seem to have the strength of those around him politically or strategically to carry on the fight. it is deeply disturbing.

>> there are too many people in certain leadership positions that are very timid. they don't want to take the fight. they don't want to provide the oversight. and consequently, you have people like nunes and gowdy, they're flapping out in the wind. where every single person on the republican team should be standing behind them and there are things they can do in terms of yanking those people up there, forcing them to testify, raising their right hand, hitting them with appropriations, doing all of the things that are currently allowed but we play nice and take a meeting next week and the democrats control the agenda. lou: jason chaffetz, as alwaysinalwaysgreat to have you. be sure to vote in the poll tonight. do you think kim jong-un would be well-advised to know he's dealing with president trump who doesn't stand for the game playing and insults tolerated by previous presidents. cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. up next, ka per sci labs trying to distance itself from

many calling the leading ark archaeologist of the 20th century and oh, yes, the rock of the church. we take it all up with author john lou: tonight's quote of the

evening, president trump who continues to vigorously fight for his america first agenda at

home and abroad. theodore roosevelt said quote, we can have no 50/50 allegiance in this country. either a man is an american or he is not an american at all. a great american joining us tonight, best selling author john o neil, his latest work called "the fisherman's tomb. the true story of the vatican's secret serge "published by our sunday visitor. it's great to have you with us. congratulations on the book. i never expected to be so intrigued by a book. quell don.well done if i may sa. >> it's an amazing story. the woman archaeologist reminds me a lot of you. i heard you 20 years ago say you're not going to agree with me to a crowd. but these trade deals were bad. i think most of them would agree with you now. >> that's very kind of you. and it's great to have you here. i hope that most will agree --

in washington it might be a tough fight as you know. but "the fisherman's tomb" it is fascinating. it grew out of your trip to the vatican and all that you saw, was it 2007, and that inspired you to write this book about the rock of the church >> i went with michael novak and i saw what was the beginning of what is now the hottest ticket in roam. and i learn that peter was there. i then -- i had close friends in houston, a family there, and their grandfather, george drake, had actually financed the entire thing secretly. he had given away hundreds of millions of dollars secretly anonymously to projects of the pope, including this one. they began in 1940. finally in 1952, a remarkable woman came in, the greatest

archaeologist of the 20th century. found astounding inscriptions under the vatican and then she found peter. lou: as you note, margarita gar due chi was also extraordinary in the discovers that she had made as an archaeologist and a very impressive woman who took on this task, replacing two, two folks that the pope had assigned who were from the vatican and not particularly astute, if i can put it that way, archaeologists as they serged fosearchedfor broof proof that s remains, were beneath the vatican. >> she was -- in 1990 she debated basically her opponents at the university of milan. she was almost blind. she was led up on the stage. at the end of the speech the

moderator whob was the head of souther bey europe said aim not a christian, i don't believe in christianity. it seems tshe found peter. she did. that has been acknowledged by pope francis. the story is amazing. the inscriptions are amazing and astounding. she had traveled all over the roman world in order to fully decode the early inscriptions. the christians had to write in code because they were being killed. not so much as what we saw from isis in the middle east. lou: and the persecution as you note in your book continues. and you're contributing all of your proceeds from your book "the fisherman's tomb" to the cause of those christians who are being pe persecuted. and i just want to, if i may very quickly, commend you again

and recommend the book to our audience. it is a terrific, terrific read. a fascinating story. and i have to say, john, you've outdone yourself with this one. this is, i think, spectacular. and i think everyone who is religious, who is fascinated by well-told stories will be reaching for your book. again, our sunday visitor, if we can put that up as i look over there, there it is. and again as we're running out of time, i give you the last quick word. >> well, it's an amazing story. it's in a time of such vulgarity, it's fun to touch the eternal a little bit. when you look at the inscriptions inscribed down there in the first and second century, that's what you're doing. you're touching the eternal and that's why i wrote the book,

lou, and gave the proceeds away. lou: thank you for being here. again our congratulations and great success with the bad. john o neil. >> thank you. lou: that's it for us tonight. >> we are talking about interest rates, paris, china, north korea headlines out there. not a lot of fear, not a lot of panic. trying to break in this morning from investors were spooked by raising interest rates, inflation worries and geopolitics is north korea threatens to pull out of an upcoming summit with president trump. transfer the data syncing 200 points yesterday snapping in a winning streak with the blue-chip average in negative territory for the year. 10 of 11 s&p sectors down yesterday. train to better than expected news hurt
