4:04 am
kim? >> well are your monologue hit all key points, regime of the rude and insulting to white house and vice president, they threatened nuclear war, this is important. a point that mainstream media seems to miss, and as such president said he would do what he said he would do, he will walk away from the deal, he has always said that, he mentioned it 4 days ago, and wrote in his book the art of a deal. north korea has reverted to type, they are playing games, this is the wrong administration to play games with. with. lou: and following that, i just want to share this report, from the work work host, they are now reporting north korea said it is ready to talk withu u.s. at any
4:05 am
time, responding to trump's cancellation of summit with kim jong-un. i think that did not take long dit? >> if you read whole letter, the letter is tough at the beginning. but in the second half it is gracious, it says, i will sit down, i will talk to you if the conditions change if you show a willingness to act in good faith, nothing what was closed down today, the right decision of taken and low and behole, we hear news that maybe they have realized mistake they made, and not going to be 12th, it may be singapore, but talks may be back on track already. >> it is a very quick response, also, president has said, throughout. we'll see.
4:06 am
every turn into twist we can watch a duping of one president after another, this president will not fall in that line of presidents. it is interesting to watch second of state in this. -- secretary of state who started talking yesterday about giving north koreans civilian nuclear power. this is reminiscent of what clinton did, president bill clinton, 30 years ago, it was a disastrous policy change, it is stunning that secretary of state would even be articulating such a thing. >> even president has offered to give some kind of guarantees to north korea, at end of the day, even if a regime that persecuted people for that believe -- -- lou: wait, president has not
4:07 am
gore anti-- guarantees in any form. a different statement for one of two largest states sponsors of terrorism on the globe. >> no, i'm talking about security guarantees he programly aired, at the end of the day something has to be obtained by north korea, whatever the deal, it is not like the iran deal, for example, there could be no american inspectors if there were inspections, they would have to be announced a month in add months. pompeo is in large part responsible for why we got so far with home depot already. >> he is amongst voice, that fast precontinue pre-- prepondef credit goes to this president. and amazing that peopl pompeo ut
4:08 am
person similar as if we -- singular if he were working for donald trump -- working for president obama not donald trump. we have a newly minted secretary of state who is talking about himself, and first person, singular, it is to me, off putting. >>ly, you have nothing to worry about. >> i'm not worried, i'm annoyed it different. >> you should not be. this individual you know, i broken bread with this man in the white house, he is a loyalist on the president. lou: phoeni -- phoenix time yout time do you ask him to use goodmanners, first person

lou: top fbi and deputy of justice officials giving lawmakers classified briefings on origins of spygate, obama administration operation that used one or more spies to survive president trump's 2016 presidential campaign, today's briefing initially me meant for republican intelligence they agreed to brief bipartisan so-called "gang of 8" in a separate meeting after democratic lawmakers who claim there is no spygate, whined and complained about not being briefed about it at all. joining us, chris. it is unclear what they saw, briefed and actually witnessed with their own eyes.
4:14 am
>> i think this is justice department expectations management meeting. they want to be able to say, we were forth comes we held meetings and briefed you. i have a high percentage belief it was controlled and contrived. it was carefully managed. that the justice department and fbi were less than forth coming. in this is allowed call parties to say, yes, we met, we talked. i doubt very seriously whether mr. nunes and gowdy are satisfied with their answers. lou: how soon to we find out. >> when they hold a press conference, i encourage them not to be shy -- they can get in front of camera and oh, -- opine
4:15 am
about the meeting, details without discussing actual substance, i think they have a duty to do so. lou: president, making it clear, he wants total transparency. on deputy of justice -- department of justice and fbi behavior, as leadership, the department of justice and the fbi have been stripped of some of their senior leadership in some cases, in the fbi. are all of it over top 5 positions. people are not -- there is a debate with the dems in congress about whether or not they were culpable or guilty of breaching our constitution, and law. about what is the debate about, it is clear. >> democrats are chained to a story, problem that story
4:16 am
keeping shifting and rolling and evolving, they can't keep everything straight. lou: they keep lying. >>,. you have to keep playing double talk word games to get around it. you know, president, i would encourage president to do with stroke of a opinion he could order -- with a pen he could order release of documents, he does not have to talk about it or around it or hope out loud, he can have it happen with a stroke of a pen. lou: and as we look at happening on je john brennal writing nonsense. >> he lost his mind. >> i could not argue that. >> he has disgraced himself, i am waiting for him to post a selfie wrapped in american flag. he has gone off the deepened, and reason is that he terrified. he has been caught. and more to be revealed.
4:17 am
lou: and robert mueller, what state is his mind? and his investigation,? been two years with the fbi investigation. now, more than a year since robert mueller was made special counsel and his investigation has produced nothing. >> now agents are pert port purportedly been dispatched to israel, i thought it was about russia collusion. half of those of the dime indics of ru russians will never sit ft in u.s. i would like to there it is winding down, because there is no there, there. >> staff, which is compromised. lou: it stunning stuff to
4:18 am
witness this. ts ellis, who is going to rule on whether or not the special counsel exceeded its mandate and scope. we're still waiting, he seemed to be most animated intelligence judge to take up the issue. what do you expect if anything? >> well, i of whether what he says, he on record from bench expressing skepticism about what letter of scope memo says versus conduct of special counsel, the 4:00 no knock wa warrant against manaforts house, it has no
4:19 am
normal existence in ordinary scope of an investigation. and i think that judge ellis, sees through it, he knows that cast of characters under mueller will do virall virtually anythio get ha i what they want. lou: chris ferrel thank you. >> thank you, lou. lou: to believe only policy to end kim jong-un's threats is use of military force? cast your vote at lou dobbs or instagram or facebook. up next. president trump cancels his summit with kim, congressman lee zeldin of house foreign affairs zeldin of house foreign affairs committee is joining m so, you guys have recently started dating... -yes -yes cool. i want to show you guys three chevy suv's. the first one is called the trax, great for when you move in together. -ahhh! and this is the chevy equinox, perfect for when you two have your first kid.

4:23 am
4:24 am
jong-un and his regime. however, president trump hintinga that talks could begin again if north korea were willing to change course. >> in har harmony prosperity and peace, that bright, beautiful future can only happen when the threat of nuclear weapons is removed. no way it can happen otherwise. if and when kim jong-un chooses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions, i am waiting. lou: north korea did not wait long, inviting a handful of journalists to observe, there are no nuclear experts there. no weapon experts to verify. those who watched from afar, half way around the globe,
4:25 am
suggesting this is more symbolic than practical. that is blather you hear from people whoen t don't know anyth. some believe they may have sites they are not disclosing. joining us, congressman lee zeldin, serves on house foreign affairs committee, calling for appointment of a second special counsel to investigate a corrupt department of justice. and and and fbi leadership. good to have you here. >> great to be back. lou: it did not take hours for the nort north koreans to respo, now that i want to talk after the president said there will be no june 12 summit, your thoughts? >> it is important to treat our friends as friends and adversary as adversary, who do not respect weakness, they only expect
4:26 am
strength. we want to prevent wars, president in approaching this situation with north korea knows that north koreans and other nations will only respect the united states and president trump if we go to it from a position of strength, our hand, became stronger with president showing a willingness to auctioy from summit. but military force is an option with that a real option, i think strengthenings his hand. lou: president conveyed today no suggestion of anger, he was constrained as he was threatening north koreans with their own destruction. and managed at the same time to validate again, the terms of a
4:27 am
summit. which are very straight forward, this president said it again and against today. you will denuclearize that is nonnegotiable. >> and remember where we were a few year ago, president obama negotiating with iran, from a position of weakness, red lines crossed, iran using rhetoric like calling us great satan, chanting death on america. you remember when they took our sailors and embarrassed them with photos and videography, and secretary kerry said, thank you, that was his response, not any more. lou: congressman is not just using an aside, that is -- a quote from secretary of state kerry, thank you, thank you. >> president trump, though is showing that this is not that. he setting red lines and being strong but not provocative, last august, whree wa when he was tag
4:28 am
about fire and fury, if north korea attacked u.s. they would have been answered with fire and fury. i think kim jong-un was over north korea saying, i think that donald trump is crazy enough to attack me, and making that military option look real, and state of the economy, and even in last august when ambassador haley, and president trump, they got a u.n. securit second unites council passed. lou: i think that kim jong-un right now, and his regime understand that this president, is smart enough, determined enough and courageous enough to do what he intimated. i think i have never seen a clearer example of the man's collected cool.
4:29 am
his constraint than today, he had to be furious in some measure. he did not in anyway, allow anyone to see that anger that he might possess, i would say almost surely possesses. but i think he has made his mind up, it has to scare the hell out of the koreans, and i think this scares hell out of xi jinping, i think he is learning a lesson here, perhaps more profound than kim jong-un. >> kim jong-un is known to be homicidal not suicidal, without disclosing any confidence, yesterday i traveled with president trump to long island, i broached topic of north korea. all i say, he knows what he is doing. he is thinking through this as important to him but very
4:30 am
deliberate. and he is calm, cool and collected and strong. and i believe that his decision today was necessary to let the north koreans know they are not in charge, they are not going to roll the united states the way that iranians rolled the united states three years ago. lou: this president made that clear in his first year in office, i do. he served notice that he is not any part the order of think about this three presidents in a row. three of worst presidents we had in our country history. that is clinton, that bush, and that is obama. this country is very lucky that this is our president. now. >> right, he knows art of the deal. he also understands that need to priority america first in the negotiations, and also talks
4:31 am
about how important this is there are the world. he is exercising leadership on world stage, i remember going to israel in august 2015, meeting with bibi, we don't have one right now, right now we have a lead irof free world, he is our president. lou: absolutely, congressman lee zelman. >> thank you. >> lying obama intel chief, james clapper can't stop himself, he runs his mouth as spy great blows up around him. we'll have reacted to his latest comments from former fbi assistanasisdescrafraction or, e right back. when you think of miami you
4:32 am

4:33 am
4:35 am
lou: james clapper claims the russians swung the 2016 presidential election for donald trump. the former obama intel chief's supposed bombshell comment contradicting the view of the entire intelligence community's assessment after they investigated the matter last year. joining me now, james kallstrom. i mean, i can't even believe it. >> it's unreal.
4:36 am
lou: the former ndi. >> does he forget what his testimony was before the congress? lou: i guess he does. i don't think it matters number he's caught in a lie or not. >> the man needs psychiatric help. lou: what about james comey? >> he's the guy with the biggest attitude and the biggest -- he puts himself on this huge pedestal. the ego is unbelievable. yet he has no common sense. to think that he could pull off this white wash of a fraudulent investigation on hillary clinton when the president obama said there is no evidence against her, she has done nothing wrong. you would have to be a more ron no -- amoron not to not was phom
4:37 am
the beginning. lou: i think the most of obvious play for play scan california is the clinton foundation. for the fbi to permit itself to conclude they are not going to have an investigation, then try to sell the nonsense, don't worry, we have it under control. >> the fbi wasn't investigating the clinton foundation. i call it a bigger rico case than the mafia. it wasn't that the fbi agents didn't want to investigate it. it is the 5 or 6 or 12 or 20 or whatever. maybe it's 50. but it's not the thousands of agents that are out there. i hear from tons and tons of these people.
4:38 am
they are so upset about what is going on. some of your guests on this show i respect have talked about turning over the fbi to the marshal service, i think that's a crazy idea. but that's not anything that should ever happen. we need new leadership. we need discipline. we need to get rid of the top-ranking people in there right now and bring a leader in there who can motivate and discipline the agency. lou: the future of the fbi as an institution, i personally believe it depends on how many agents step forward and say under subpoena what truly happened. if there isn't that residual within the rank and file of the fbi, i think that the institution is doomed. and by the way sitting here with
4:39 am
the greatest respect and affection for you. if they don't step up here, they deserve that institution to be swept aside. >> i believe the vast majority of those who have knowledge, who have a reason to step forward other than what they see on television every day. comey and the other sycophants brought the investigation, it was all taken away. they had called up the new york office and shut down the clinton foundation. it's not the agents, it's a group of people who perpetrated this fraud on the country and thought they could get away with it. it's unbelievable. what we are doing to a fine institution. i spent most of of my life there. i know what people at the fbi go to work for every day. it's a shame we put a series of
4:40 am
bad leadership in there, and i will include bob muler in there, and comey was a disaster. lou: they politicized the justice department, the fbi, the internal revenue service. the list goes on. >> obama politicized the entire government. and he loaded it with sycophants, people who will succumb to the stockholm syndrome. guys like brennan and clapper and comey. john brennan, horrible. lou: all you have to do is watch the man. >> i know him, i can tell you that's a good feeling on your part. he's really a psychopath. all his rantings and ravings and threatening people.
4:41 am
we need to clean this thing out. including the president of the united states. we have the deputy attorney general threatening people. what is this? here is the guy who signed one of the renewals on the fraudulent fisa application. what is going on here? lou: today we don't even know whether the gang of 8, the heads of the house intelligence and oversight committee actually got to see the documents of origin leading to the special counsel. we don't know whether they were just briefed about it. >> this conspiracy has been working for a long long time. whenever there was an inkling he was going to win this thing, there was a strong fifth column and it's still there today. lou: i keep saying to both -- and i will continue to say to folks, it's not just this president had the guts, intelligence to try this.
4:42 am
but to imagine what he withstand every day and has had to withstand from the moment he ran. >> i have known him for 43 years. lou: for him to stand up like he has. >> he's never not going to stand up, no matter what happens to these fools. lou: i believe that wholeheartedly. >> it's great to see you and god bless you, lou dobbs. lou: god bless you. be sure to vote in our poll. do you believe the on effective policy on kim jong-un's nuclear threats and provocation is nuclear force? the border patrol steps up its response to a crisis on our southern border with help from southern border with help from the trump administration.
4:43 am
4:47 am
against the border control. the latest from the rio grande in texas. >> just after takeoff the calls pour in. agents need help tracking four separate groups. >> we are 60 miles north of border. . . puts them at a great risk. >> the first woman to head the border patrol. >> the rio grande bored is our busiest along the border. over the last few years our attrition has been outpace our hiring. this is a good stop gap measure having the guards here. reporter: more guardsmen are operating cameras. >> they are d
4:48 am
. the rio grande. according to the border patrol, most of of those apprehended are central americans, most of seek asylum. they are so focused on processing families and unaccompanied minors, vast areas are unprotected. >> in were four unaccompanied children. ago as long as they will make money off human smuggling and drug smuggling, they will do it. >> catching them is one thing. but releasing them is a much bigger problem that president trump has vowed but has yet to
4:49 am
solve. lou: a big part of the chaos on our border, not many people talk about this. corruption on both sides of the bored. murderous cartels making a half billion a year smuggling an illegal immigrants. the rate of children being abducted so illegal immigrants can pose as families has risen 900% the last year. the. median household income rising up 3% since president trump took office. the higherrest level in nearly a half season -- the highest level in nearly a half century. facebook's privacy scandal is
4:50 am
worsening by the day. they are accused of conducting mass surveillance through its apes. they collected photos, and even locations. pastor robert jeffress joins us pastor robert jeffress joins us next. you totanobody's hurt, new car. but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels.
4:51 am
4:54 am
lou: the bishop who was amongst those speaking at the u.k. royal wedding claims the president's america first policy is a theological hetheelodge -- is al heresy. possible tore robert jeffress. you know, i would think the bishop would be a little more concerned about himself -- isn't the monarchy a relic of the past. isn't that something we are supposed to move past? i don't know. what do you make of it? >> i think bishop curry and
4:55 am
these other pastors tonight are sincere, but they are sincerely wrong about what the bible says about government. yes we are to do with the bishop says and follow the way of love individually, love each other and forgive each other and turn the other cheek. but government is never command to do that in the bible. government is supposed to look out for the protection of their citizens. these pastors ought to be having a prayer meeting thanking god we have a president who is willing to do whatever it takes, standing up to kim jong-un, pulling out of that disastrous iran deal, securing our borders. he's willing to do whatever it takes to protect this country. lou: i couldn't agree more. it's interesting that the bishop doesn't want to talk about black
4:56 am
unemployment in this country being at an historic low. he doesn't want to talk about the hispanic unemployment rate being at an historic low. it took him a whole year, maybe a year and two months to deliver on that promise. it's stunning stuff. so you have got to believe, and i will say to you. the bishop may be sincere. but as you suggest he's upside down in his thinking. this is a country that is a democracy, a constitutional republic. then the u.k., they are sell brairgt their -- celebrating their history to the point where they are suffocating. it's a class bound society. here every american is an american. >> there is nothing wrong with putting america first.
4:57 am
that's what a government is supposed to do. as individual christians yes we put others before ourselves. but government doesn't do that. bishop curry and others say this isn't about donald trump. oh, really? then why are you doing it in front of the white house. i am tired of the charges of racism and xenophobia. he loves all americans and he's causing the boats of all americans to rise. lou: curry talking about theological heresy. i don't even know where you get that or devolve that from the bible. i don't understand why he thinks it's anything other than political opportunism to show up -- they are not princes, whatever they are. meghan and harry. it sounds like a movie to me.
4:58 am
i'm going to get in big trouble with my audience. i know a lot of people love that stuff. i keep thinking about the war for independence and the war for 1812 and the number of times we had to bail out good ole england. i like the way we do it rather than the way they do it. >> i do, too. the left is falling all over themselves or bishop curry and his willingness to take on trump. but the left criticizes the h-e double l out of me. the. lou: i love the idea you are not only involves in politics. but you are on the right side of history and bringing religion to
4:59 am
the public square and giving all of us a moral compass to reflect on even from the public square for a time. i think probably a few folks on capitol hill benefit as a result. and i know the president benefits with your friendship and support. >> thanks for giving me the chance to do that, lou. lou: do you ever think the left theologically or politically will ever get over itself? >> no, but i don't think it's going to matter in the end. we are going in the right direction of the country and the others will be left in the dust. lou: tonight's quote of the evening. if you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the
5:00 am
results of 100 battles. that's it for us tonight. thanks for being with us, and good night from new york. of north korea, i have decided to terminate the plan summit on june 129, i believe that this is a tremendous setback for north korea and, indeed, a setback for the world. cheryl: breaking this morning, the summit is off but north korea says not so fast. we still want to talk. we are going to look at what is next and the fallout for the president here at home. gerri: sudden cancellation hits stocks. cheryl: stocks bounced back overnight from the selloff i didn't do.
