wass andemocrats. lou: tonight's quote of thee'llw night. tonight i join tucker carlsonn his show in just moments on the fox news channel. keedy: james comey, your day of reckoning is finally at hand. the question will his old cronies at the doj have the cones to rock limb up. the report i h defied and weig w inate to the abc report claims the inrest spector gener blasts former attorney general loretta lynch for her mishandling of thc email server and the tarmac

meeting. andrew mccabe, we are told the report chastises him for the late discovery and mishandling of evidence related to the clinton investigation. mccabe's attorney sent a letter to the senate judiciary committee claiming he'll testify in exchange for immunity. should any of these amigos be worried about their freedom? reporter: the answer is maybe. we are all waiting for this inspector general's report, including the president, who has been tweeting about it. the abc report useshe w insubordinate. the report says he defied the

attorney general especially when he sent the letter saying they are reopening the clintonon. the president of judicial watch says this is like a russian nesting doll when you pull one out than is somet else inside. >> you know, this spy gate is getting worse and worse. and i don't understan the lackadaisical approach the congress has to bringing in, hauling in rosenstein. reporter: lawyers for the former deputy director andrew mccabe says he is willing to testify. but there is a catch. they said quotee request the judiciary committee use a grant of use immunity. >> we need to clear the air.

giving mccabe immunity would be a mistake. we need to see this to and follow the factsyo. er: there could be some searges there we'llave to kennedy: edward, thank you so much. what does the inspector general's report means? will they all turn on each on ther? it appears they have been in order to protect their own necks. let me bring -- bng in andy biggs. comey says he values the chain of command, but he stepped outside of it on more than one occasi what do you think it consequences will be?

>> we all s he's t narcis we always thought he was. but we need to see the i.g. report. if there was criminal conduct associated with that insubordination which i suspect there may be, then we should get the attorney general's offe prosecuting the case. i suspect he was misusing his position to let hillary clinton dona trump which we know heem on did. he admitted this. we see contradictions that should lead to conviction. kennedy: i know he probably thinks it's a bang-up idea to write a book because he wants to tell the world his special story. he says he's fallen i love with his own ideas. but within that book tour there have been a series of di could those beegallyproblematic.

>> he can say whatever he wan in a book tour. there is no law against that. but where it might provide prlems is where he testified under oath to congress and given affidavits and testimony under oath if he contradicted himself somewhere else, then we get to bring him in and opinion him down and see if there is a chance for a criminal prosecution. kennedy: andrew mccabe was fired because the inspector general found he had lied to investigators potentially about leaks to the "wall street journal" and other things. he said comey knew about those leaks and authorized them. comeyenied that. should andrew mccabe be given immunity to testify before the senate judiciary committee? >> i don't. he wants use immunity for

whatever he may testify at the hearing. i think we need to let him come forward. take the fifth amendment which ways' threatening to do. t we are never going t get to the bottom of this on mr. comey and loretta lynch, the strzok and page and this whole cast of characters if we give him immunity. unlesse's got a massive bombshell, and we won't know that. then i don't think you give immunity. kennedy: look at the people that were given immunity during the hillary clinton investigation. so i agree with you. i think they should with hold there fan he's done something bad, there has to be accountability. what does accountability look like for these three people. >> one of the great

makes america stand out in the world ostensibly is we hold everybody accountable and everybody has to obey the same laws. if you grant immunity here to somebody who may have known about corruption, but corruption for political purposes. think about that. you undermine the very foundation of our constitutional republic. it's hardor me to say let's get to the somebody who has y: you bring up a good point about strzok and page. telling each other to go easy on her. that's just plain wrong. th different type of politicization tha equally problematic. we know president obama rolled out the red carpet for iran. but did he alsooll out the green carpet?

a new report indicates the obama administration secretly tried to give iran access to the american financial system see they could convert $1.7 billion in useless iranian money into greenbacks. but american banks refused to partipate for fear of running afoul of u.s. sanctions and because of the negative perception. the obama administration told conscious it did not and would not front iran access to our financial system. is there something rotten in the white house? kat timpf is here along with comedian joe devito, and let's make this hump day very special. let's talk about this.

this is problematic. we thought the $1.7illion in the palette of cash was currency for trading american hostages. but this is very shady. >> i didn't think something like this was possible. i didn't think an american president would subvert american law and theanctions that h be put in place against iran to limit their nuclear weapons program for some unknown reason. i am not saying this flippantlyo under mine american security? i don't understand the motivation for this. if there is one, i want to hear it. kennedy: maybe ben rhodes can tell us. you are talk can about $5.4

billion. they are funding hezbollah. >> this is sounding more and more like a money laundering operation. they started with commemorative coins from the franklin mint. it shows you what a horrible proves that is they tried to hide this. they night was a bad deal. it's the kind ofeal where you hope you get kissed beforand. it wasn't even a good deal for the iranian people either. kennedy: that's a good point that you don't hear much about. a lot of americans are confused about the deal. what do we get out of it. but doitsd erode your trust

in -- but does it erode your trust in government? cat. kat: i have no trust for people in power. of course, there was more to the story than what we heard. of coue, had to do extra more than what we heard. i'm not surprised,ed always. >> it's so that this much money and the harm that could come from flipping a switch like that wasn't even considered or disclosed. >> i'm not one these crazy conservatives who thinks obama s the anti-christ. but i'm str to understand what the motive was here honestly. kennedy: considering where that money could go. >> hezbollah, you mentioned it. kennedy: conside how much

destablization and harm could come from that amount of money in a short period of time, i don't understand it either. we are going to move on because we found melania tmpoday making her first public appearance in a no. watch this. president trump: she went through a rough patch but she is doreat we are proud of her. she has done a great job as first lady. the people of america lov so thank you, honey. kennedy: that came hourstheresis about the speculation over the first lady's whereabouts. he tweeted the fake news media has beo fair and vicious about my wife and our great first lady. she is doing really well.

will the media get message and knock off all the bogus reporting. i feel bad for her on a number of ls. it's difficult to be first lady in the best of times with a very boring husband. kat: at least people notice when she goes missing. i spent all last weekend in my apartment watching "young and pregnant" and nobody even called me. there are certain people, man people on the left who wake up every day trying to find out something going on in the trump flame they can turn into a scandal. kennedy: lord knows what ha ma has got a kidney, maybe she gave a kidney. >> she was recovery from surgery. what kind of public appearances do they expect her to make.

but she is she is white, and she is married to and rich guy. so they will never forgive her. it's like birthers. ey are embarrassing themselves. kennedy: me than yeah. a in a white house full of leaks, the first l team didn't leak anything about the first lady. for 20-something days? like nothing? kennedy: it means the difference is she inspires a very spefic kind of loyalty. that's something her husband has not yet mastered. >> if the president shot somebody on fifth avenue i would be out there burying the body. it's a metaphor.

kennedy: are you saying people are so loyal? he's inspired a form of loyalty -- tino a lot of people at the white house that love the president and would do anything for him. kennedy: a lot but not all. not all people feel the same creepy way you do. >> i am using that as a metaphor because the president used it as a metaphor before. as the white house was bd built out it was filled by a lot of people who wanted to success vert the president. kennedy: why are we still seeing leaks? >> i think the only way to do that is to clear out entire departments. but the team first lady built out isnby loy then she and her m need to sit the president down

and said this is how you do that. >> i heard she has done that. she is grillant. kennedy: she is a damn genius. first up, are you looking for a job? new ror claimsherere jobs and . why does my next guest say we shouldn't celebrate yet.

it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

kennedy: as a candidate donald trump vowed to be the greatest jobsnt in history. now statistics from the department of labor, for the first time in u.s. history there are more available jobs than people looking for them. 6.7 million openings compared to 6.3 million people on the unemployment roles. but wages are barely keeping up with inflation, is our economy

just a great mirage. joining me, charlie la duff, and the author of the new book, "s show, the country's collapsing." kennedy: a lot of republicans are talking about this great economy and how the unemployment number keeps going down. there are more jobs, but you say it's not all roses and iewn cores. >> everybody remembered what happened in the last election. if that what's you want to think, then think it. but wages haven't done anything. if you take the banging sector out, they have done nothing for the working person. the labor participation rate.

everybody eligible to work, it's like at 62%. almost 40% of t country who can work is not work. where are the jobs? do you have to move to the city? they are not in the rural parts. do we have to become immigrants within our own country? i don't see the magical recovery. a lot of lives don't seem better. kennedy: but there are jobs like in banging and accounting and things like that where you need some specialty training. there are also a lot of jobs in service industry like retail and which oftentimes are part-time jobs. but for people entering the job market, those are starter jobs, and hopefully they lead to

bigger things as they do for a lot of people. that's how a lot of people get their foot in the door in job >> who could complain about there being jobs. available jobs is a good thing. but an advancement to where? you have got to remember, we are not worky about the future of thisry. namely, our children. what do you advance to? these are good-paying american jobs. these are hotel jobs and wiping old people's back end. there are less men working now than there was 10 years ago. neighbor people don't want them or don't have access to them. i am not saying the sky is falling, but the sky is overcast. kennedy: you were doing a fascinating story called "the

americans." i loved hearing your stories and loved seeing yous the country talking to some of those forgotten men and womenident ape 2016 campaign. but now you are work as a handyman. >> in detroit city. i wrote a book. don't think things have gone badly for me. kennedy: you say you are redoing your life. >> i'm writing a book. the american public said of the media, hey, man, why don't you get in touch with yourself and figu what you are all out. you are getting it wrong and we don't even like you. why not stop and figure out what i saw. it's a great book, it goes all over the country. the anxiety of not having health coverage. i always had it. now that my daughter is exposed,

i'm worried. finally there is something called personal responsibility. i am not look for the government to give to me. >> so i'm going to be a handyman. and healthcare comes with that in this economy. it's hard to find workers. it's a great place to work. it's cool to see this stuff fixed. i go home and crack a beer and i'm kind of normal again. kennedy: charlie, you will never we love you.mal and that's why coming up prison reform took a massive leap ford thanks to none other than kim kardashian. the monologue is next. stay tuned. ♪

>> the fact is he has the authority. it has to be a federal crime and it can't impeachment. he can pardon himself as well. if the drafters of constitution said he couldn't pardon himself, they would have included it. that's the way to get a president out of office. it's not to charge him. kennedy: let's talk about alice johnson. there are a lot of conservatives who say she is a horrible person and deserves to spend her life in prison. ho much does thisngehe discussione are having. >>3 years old. she spent 21 years in jail on a life sentence. it's first offense. that federal law on potential and -- on possession and drug

offenses. when there is a conspiracy, they look at the aggregate amount. the firime offender. it's non-violent and that went into his decision making. kennedy: the judge who sentenced her knew all of those issues. was that judge obligated to put her away for life? >> not necessarily. there is in the federal system. we have guidelines so if someone is convicted of a crime that falls within a certain range, the judge has to consider that. he probably did have some discretion mott to give that life sentence. kennedy: i know in the 90s there was a big push for law any out. this is a person who didn't commit a trike. the president has been

influenced by a jared kushner. there were people who did not want high pressure offer this comcommutation including his chf of staff john kelly. but what do you see this signaling to the department of justice? >> this is little inconsistent with a.g. sessions' directive. that is federal prosecutors should charge the highest level cr and prosecute the highest level crimes. i hope they can reevaluate that. i have federal defendants dealing with that directive. in this conation, let's take at that directive. kennedy: do you feel it's fair

everything from burning green men. 2:00 tomorrow all eyes are on nasa for a big announct from the red planet. the rover waslly designed to find evidence of life on mars. what could it be? i think what we'll find first of all is we realized the rover has been drilling into rock for two years. but two years ago the motor failed. for two years we had no a few weeks ago they jury rigged that motor. and they are able to analyze the rocks. i think they will find evidence of complex carbon based chemicals like amino acids which are the building blocks of life on earth.

precursors of life mars that are found naturally on earth in the form of proteins. kennedy: are the proteins going ble for a few hundred million years and eventll creatures? first you have amino acids. then you have knew thre nucleus. we could be the martians. if you want to see a martian, you may be seeing the evidence of dna that started on mars. and was sent to the earth by a meteor to create homo sapien.

we could be spreading our dna to other planets as well. kennedy: will they send rovers here? >> remember this is still speculation. nasa is keeping a tight lid on this whole thing. but apparently it will be a big announcement. minerals worth mining on mars and that could set off a gold rush. perhaps rare earth or new platinum materials. so that may give us mining, ores and rocks capable of sustaining colonies on mars.hat' why he ons in the space race.hers are all
