to the maximum extent you can. have a great day. we'll see you the day after. "hannity" is next with judge jeanine. judge, are you there?re >> judge jeanine: i'm here, tucker. my prayers are with those young boys. let's hope they get them all out safely. scary, very scary. >> tucker: amen >> tucker: amen. >> judge jeanine: amen. thank you. welcome to "hannity" ." i'm jeanine pirro in tonight for sean. get ready for one of the most contentious hearings ever. peter strzok has officially been subpoenaed by the judiciary committee and will now be forced to testify in public next tuesday, july 10th. as most of you already know, peter strzok is the corrupt anti-trump fbi investigator who played an important role in clearing hillary clinton of all charges back in 2016.ha and then subsequently became a

key investigator in the trump-russia witch hunt. he was ultimately removed from the mueller investigation after text messages revealed the extent of his anti-trump bias. this includes a text to his girlfriend, lisa page. on july 31st, just days after hillary's investigation ended and trump's investigation started. his text read, "this feels momentous because this matters the other one did, too come up with that was to ensure we didn't f something up. this matters because this matters. so super glad to be on this voyage with you." and look at this exchange. days later on august 8th, 2016, lisa page writes, "trump is not ever going to become president, right? right? "strzok responded no, no, he is not.

we'll stop it." then on august 15th, 2016, strzok told page, there is no way he gets elected, but i'm afraid we can't take that risk. it's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you are 40. this matters. we'll stop it. it's like an insurance policy in case he gets elected." these are all comments from two senior fbi officials. responsible for investigating a there is more. but there is more. way back in 2015, strzok texted page, "bernie sanders is an idiot like trump." on february 12th, from page, "he simply cannot be president." strzok text back, "trump is abysmal." then, "trump is a loathsome

human. he's awful. hillary should win 100000000000-0." now our members of congress will have a chance to hold strzok suite to the fire in public. but we are also learning tonight that strzok's lawyer is firing back at republicans on the house judiciary and oversight committees regarding his closed-door testimony with them last week. joining us now with more from washington's catherine herridge. catherine? >> judge, the lawyers for fbi agent peter strzok is accusing republicans of twisting and licking his client's testimony. strzok did not answer our questions or any other news organizations during his 11th hour on capitol hill last week, 90 minutes in the classified section. during the transcribed interview with lawmakers and staff on the house oversight and judiciary committee, strzok refused to answer some questions come up citing the ongoing russia case and advice of fbi counsel. according to correspondence with house committees confirmed by

fox news, strzok's lawyer said his client initially expressed an interest or testifying publicly but it was lawmakers who wanted the closed-door session as a first step. "we know it has in store." in the next hearing, they will ask special agent strzok many of the same questions and then see if there are any tiny inconsistencies or prove that he perjured himself or made false statements. given the committee has proven that it is playing political games, violating with our trust on its own rules, and no longer makes sense for us to keep playing along. last week about the fbi director christopher wray and the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein got some tough questioning about strzok, his text messages, and rather political bias infected the fbi investigation. >> you have peter strzok, he opens up a counterintelligence investigation against trump's campaign, the end of july party than a week later, this text message, "he ate going to be president, we will stop it." next week, the infamous insurance policy text message where he says, we can't take the risk of a trump presidency, you need an insurance policy. the american people see that, doesn't that undermine the whole

integrity of the actions like peter strzok? >> yes, congressman, that is highly inappropriate. >> house judiciary committee issued a subpoena for agent strzok to publicly testify on the tenth. judge? >> judge jeanine: catherine, thank you so much. and while we away peter strzok's time in the hot seat, another set of subpoenas may be looming. how central committee chairman devin nunes is now calling on tn obama administration officials to testify regarding possible fisa abuse and the shady origins of the russia witch hunt. meanwhile, nunes recently had some very strong words for a democratic colleagues. take a look. >> we are not going to be threatened by the democrats. look, they are the ones that have all this blood on their hands. they are the ones that have completely destroyed the fbi and doj. how did they do that? stated that by digging up dirt, the clinton campaign dug up

dirt, put it into a dossier, saturday into the fbi, and the i used our counterintelligence capabilities against a political campaign. that is what happened here. the democrats in the house and senate, they've continue to want to obvious gates, they continue to want to cover up. if we listen to the democrats, we never would have found out that the democrats and hillary clinton paid christopher steele to generate this dirt on president trump. so i tend to ignore everything that they say. we continue to do our work day in and day out to get to the truth. gradually we are getting to the truth and i believe, as these hearings take place, and testimonies given to the congress, i think it will be a much needed sunlight in this investigation. >> judge jeanine: joining us now is florida congressman matt gaetz, american conservative union chairman matt schlapp, and civil rights and criminal defense attorney david shevlin. all right, good evening, gentlemen. congressman gaetz, i will start with you.

underlying all of this, the reason we are here, is because we are finally getting the opportunity to see some of the documents, some of the text messages, some of the emails. yet, here we are in the middle of the summer, and we still don't have all of those requested documents from the doj and fbi. what makes you guys think that strzok is going to tell you anything and not claim the fifth? >> it is not the answers he gives, it is the ones he doesn't that seem to interest me the most. i'm particularly interested in peter strzok's interaction with robert mueller after mueller found out about these text messages. i think we all learn a lot about the lack of curiosity that mueller had in determining whether or not the bias of peter strzok actually manifested in the official actions of the investigation. now peter strzok at one point was america's top spy catcher. don't expect him to crawl into the fetal position and begin reaping. he will have his side of the story. i think largely he was dishonest

and very opaque in his answers in his closed-door session. >> judge jeanine: matt schaub, one of the things that you have been talking about, the fact tht the republicans haven't seemed to learn to step up and stand up for the president and for the party at large, just kind of live and let live. >> i think we really had a failure to understand republicans in congress have had a failure to understand that oversight is one of the most critical things that they have to do constitutionally. they have the power of the purse, they found these agencies, it is their job to make sure the money is being spent well. judge, what we have seen with the abuses of the fbi, they make none of was happy because all of us respect the fbi, we need the fbi. because we respect the fbi, when we see this type of wrongdoing, we have to stand up and say, enough, as citizens, we are not empowered to do much. it is congress that is empowered to do what needs to be done and i will tell you the republicans in congress, it's a real moment. they have to demonstrate to the country, this has nothing to do

with our national security and russia, it has everything to do with never trump's invented at the top spots of the fbi and trying to impact that election, saying they will stop donald trump. if that is not enough for republicans in congress to say that they will take all the appropriate steps -- in the doj have to do it. >> judge jeanine: they are not doing it. i'm asking them to do it. finding out when are they going to hold them in contempt -- david schoen. now, you know the system better than anyone. you say that when strzok testified behind closed doors, there should have been some conditions. what were they? >> absolutely. first of all, we know from inspector general, we don't have a whole side of a strzok or pages emails. we should have all of those. congress must much demand. it is not just strzok. remember, what we did not see in that general report is anyone at

any point ever telling strzok or his colleagues that their conduct was inappropriate. what i really want to see them get to is this meeting that strzok told the ig about that he had with paige and with andrew mccabe and mccabe's office during which the agenda was stopped trump. mccabe denies it or he doesn't recall it. i want to get to the bottom of that. >> judge jeanine: how do we get to the bottom of it? >> first of all, remember, strzok's attorney has been boasting that strzok is dying to testify openly at congress, that he will testify that he is an unfair effect of air one thing we know for sure is that there is no good answer to the emails that strzok wrote. he will have to eat those. that is the agenda. remember, that infected the whole process. the ig found he can't determine whether bias in fact at the prosecutorial decisions. remember, the prosecutor is only as good as the investigator. he or she makes his or her decisions on whether to prosecute based on the body of

investigative material they are given, so people like strzok decide what to go after, what not to go after, et cetera. >> judge jeanine: congressman gaetz, the frustration that i have and the viewers have is that, you know, there are some guys like you, jim jordan, and ron desantis, and trey gowdy, most of the time, but we are not to sing a lot of action here. what can we expect as opposed to say, bring them in? >> to my friend matt schaub, i would point them to the comments of rod rosenstein on may 1st when he said that congress has no constitutional role for oversight. that is what we are fighting against. the department of justice doesn't believe we have a right for oversight. it's outrageous and frankly it shows how important it is for the small group of us who have been really pounding the facts on this issue to get support from our leadership. you know how the democrats will do oversight, judge jeanine? they will say, the documents will be there at 10:00 or your impeachment proceeding begins at

10:01. that is what we ought to do. we ought to demand the documents or we are to be to begin the impeachment procedure. >> judge jeanine: congressman leadership, are we talking about paul ryan, bob goodlatte, mitch mcconnell? let's name them! this is what the viewers, what the american people want! you can come on andwi talk all u want, for the next 30 minutes, 30 days, if the leadership doesn't like you do it, then you can't do it. amdo i right or wrong? congressman? >> you are right. i've been in congress for about 18 months, judge jeanine, and i haven't entirely figured out this place yet but i know that nothing happens unless the leadership wanted to happen. i'm proud of judiciary chairman bob goodlatte for accelerating the schedule. i think we will have comey and lynch and strzok and page giving public testimony very soon. i'm encouraged by that. from the speaker's office on down, we need more support. those of us who need the documents, who walked up and he brings to the american people, we'll see what happens. >> judge jeanine: i will go to match lap. what kind of support is he talking about? i don't need someone's support.

we have several attorneys, tom fitton, going to court, getting in on his own. congress is not impotent? >> that is exactly right. while the congressman just said, they can demand it, also, start impeachment proceedings. at the end of the day come at the political question.e the american people are watching. if these congressmen, including republican, don't take these aggressive steps, they will throw people out of office,pu ad there is a leadership race for the house, to be the next speaker on the republican side, hopefully we held onto that majority. i think these types of decisions will impact that race. finally, the doj is going to have to prosecute. if they know prosecute, none of us meant anything. >> judge jeanine: i agree, david, don't you? i believe at one point treyty gowdy said something like that. i am more interested in finding out the truth than the criminal consequences. well, i'm a prosecutor. i'm interested in criminal consequences. i'm interested in setting the record. i'm interested in making a

precedent. if you are the upper echelon of the chief law enforcement agency in the nation, and it seems the toll, call top echelon was going in one direction for hillary against trump, then i have to believe the whole culture of the fbi, other than the regular guys in the field offices, there's a problem. >> it clearly reflects the culture. let me say this, my father was an fbi agent, i grew up in fbi groupie. this is a huge blemish on the fbi. it is as culture, and it also affects the prosecutors. let me tell you this, judge. this is one of the worst cases in the fbi but i have the worst case of fbi corruption in the eastern district of new york and you know who thet. prosecutor ws on the case? andrew weissmann. the right-hand band of mueller. as a culture here. the american -- it should not be left to right issue. the american people, that is what it is disappointing, the american people should demand transparency. there is not an investigation which a source would be busted here, a real national security

consequences r if we expose this information. listen, the presiding judge of the fisa court, judge collier, told congress that they should ask the justice department for the fisa application documents. now i think the judge also should exercise her supervisory capacity, given the t wrongdoing we know with those applications. being misleading of the omissions. >> judge jeanine: i will tell you what it comes down to. i will go to you, congressman. two seconds left really comes down to a prosecutor. i don't need to hear about, with all due respect you, congressman, i don't need to hear about this in an open session. i don't needse toss read all the emails, i need a real prosecutor to get in there and find out what the truth is and whether or not everything they said i did, which indicates a negative intent toward drum, is acted upon! jeff sessions isn't going to do it. is there just is, congressman gaetz, in the end? >> i don't think there will be come t after us the dumb accessions remains the attorney general. it's a sad

thing but we have demanded a specialia prosecutor to make the decisions you have outlined. jeff sessions has proven to beea very captive to the deep state actors of the department of justice are very seem to have been very flummoxed. >> judge jeanine: last word, matt schlapp. >> i am more hopeful. i think the american people are appalled. i think that there are thousands of prosecutors are doj and i think they will demand that something be done. if nobody is sitting in jail after this all happens, there is going to be a political revolt like we haven't seen for a long time. >> judge jeanine: but there is no prosecutor who can do it without rod rosenstein, who convinced jeff sessions to recuse himself, who doesn't have the political will -- i'll be polite tonight -- he doesn't have the political will to put together a grand jury. >> maybe there will be some changes. >> you are right, judge. you know about prosecutors. look, and how to change from the top. there shouldn't even be this

crisis with congress and contempt. rod rosenstein has to be removed. he's running running mueller investigation. we know her that has gone. he got cute with jim jordan the other day when he asked, who told strzok who couldn't answer these questions? he said, i i've got 150,000 i employees, i don't know, he is just one. that is nonsense. the focus is on strzok and the fbi director and everyone else ought to be mortified at what has been uncovered now. >> judge jeanine: smart guys.ha david schoen, gentleman, congressman matt gaetz, matt schlapp, great, great segment. coming up, we are less than a week away from president trump's big announcement on who he's going to nominate for the supreme court! ed henry is here with an update on that. then, tammy bruce and charlie kirk. stay rightat there. ♪ you won't see these folks at the post office

what the president will do. speaking in west virginia, honoring veterans out of o the fourth of july holiday, the president teased up the pagan promised a strong nominee to ado justice gorsuch. watch. >> this is such an important decision, and we are going to give you a great one. >> we will use every tool at our disposal facility making people understand what is at stake here about the person who is nominated by the president. >> i think that if the democrats' method right now, which is, i pose everything and do nothing. really sady gotten that their party has no method, nono leadership, no solution, ad they want to fight a president who is trying to lead, doing amazing things for our country, and things that are really hard to argue with. >> sanders added again that there is no litmus test for the president on bro will be weighed. instead, saying, what he iss focused on will be superior intellect, strong adherence to the constitution, strict interpretation, as well as a

strong judicial temperament. sanders suggesting those are the tests the president want these candidates to meet, judge. >> judge jeanine: all right, thank you so much, ed. good to see you. joining me now the reaction from turning point usa, charlie kirk, and fox news contributor tammy bruce. all right, guys, i want to start with mike lee. i will start with you first, tammy. i find it fascinating -- i want to read the tea leaves. the president said, -- talking about senator mike lee -- "i saw them on television where he said he would love the job. you know, usually they don't say that," mr. trump said. read the tea leaves, tammy. what does that say? >> you will recall senator lee was not very nice to the president during the campaign. butt he's a good senator. he's well-respected. his brother is also on the o short-list, also a judge. the issue becomes of course one of the issues regarding if you remove someone from the senate, we have such a short list, we have, like, one vote,

you don't want a special election without to become a problem. the general sense is that mike lee is not going to be chosen because of the problems associated with that. you could make senator lee happy by choosing his brother, i suppose. as a woman, an advocate for women, it would be fabulous to have a conservative woman on the bench the bench. >> judge jeanine: we'll talk about that. charlie, that mike lee thing kind of surprised me. it's almost as though he is pinching himself there and you don't doth that with the presid. yes? >> so much. i am a big mike lee fan. i think hem is one of the more conservative people being put in this conversation that actually could get confirmed. >> judge jeanine: what you think about the w fact that he's never been a judge? >> well, look, he probably understands the constitution better than every single left-wing person on the court right now. i would say that. he is a student of his theory, comes from -- his father was a high-ranking judge, his brothers on the short-list, he

understands the constitution, understand the rule of law. the constitution doesn't say you have to be a judge, that you've ruled on cases, it doesn't even say that there has to be nine justices. there's an argument to be made that if you pick someone out of the body of the senate, it will be difficult for senators to vote against that individual. you could also -- he could also voteoo for himself, which would be unusual. he loves the constitution. he's very young. >> judge jeanine: the last time someone was nominated to the united states supreme court who is not a judge, even a lower court judge, was i think a half-century ago. it just doesn't happen. so the whole thing is really interesting. i didn't hear what you said, charlie. >> i said we could put you on the supreme court, judge. i think that would be a great fake. >> judge jeanine: that's not what i'm looking for. talking about someone who has never been a judge. i think that's unusual. let's talk about the women. tammy, he wanted to talk about the women. amy coney barrett -- okay.

senator dianne feinstein gave her a very hard time about her christianity. this was just last year. everyone will remember that horriblean exchange where she ws asking her, grilling her about her faith, which is not what you do, you can't make these decisions based on someone's religious convictions, and mrs. barrett handled it very well. she was confirmed ultimately for the position, now about a year. she's already been through that process, we already know what the senate would do and what they would talk about. that is interesting. she clerked for judge scalia, as that one of the other women on the short-list, as well. they both both have that experi. i would suggest with mike lee, the problem with him is, being in the senate, he has articulated many positions already on the issues, some of which are controversial. that will not be helpful in that regard. it shouldn't matter but it won't be helpful. ms. barrett has been through it. i think that gives her an edge

that we know what would happen in the senate. >> judge jeanine: charlie, with respect to judge barrett, they are also a few democratse who voted for her a year ago. that makes a difference to you. isn't it interesting, charlie, that now the president is in a position for affecting the president, and changing the court for for a different doman generations. the democrats are going bananas. >> the democrats are afraid now that trump is going to fail, they are afraid that he will succeed. 1 of 8 of all circuit court judges have already been appointed by president trump rate is on pace to replace more than half of the federal judiciary. this would give a permanent 5-4 conservative constitutional majority on the high court. you saw the implication of this this last week. public-sector unions will never be the same. free-speech decision coming out of california in regards to the abortion facilities, so president trump has two high court picks and just the first

or go years, phenomenal and stunning. gorsuch was a home run and i'm confident he will make another great one. >> judge jeanine: with. respect to the issue of choice, everyone is talking about choice as though it's the only issue that is at stake here. >> if i could add it, when i was on the left, it was the only i issue with which you can raise money. it is also an issue that they like to portray as existentially threatening. the bottom line is, after all these years, it is never, with all the appointments and the republican presidents and conservative judges appointed, and has never been an issue. it is president that is such. this, i think, really is just one more element of the left. the americans like with the president is doing. they like judge gorsuch. we know something has gone wrong with the country with the attitude that is perpetrated by liberals on the left. we want reasonable, constitutionally based decisions, we know that improved everyone's lives, and there is

already a war on some of these judges and the president just has to stay the course. >> judge jeanine: charlie, what doess the president do to get democrats to come around if, of course, mccain is not going to be voting and we have collins and lisa murkowski, you know, possibly just -- >> i think he has a better chance of getting joe manchin and donnelly than even flake or collins. i think a lot of these red state democrats are going to have no choice but to come over and devote for this pick, especially as we get up against theci midterms. it can be very difficult for some of these incumbent democrats to go back to states where trump won by 30 or 40 points and justify resisting a common sense constitutional selection to the supreme court. president trump has to do what he did tonight, w go straight to the states and advocate for this pick, this election, make the argument straight to the people. >> judge jeanine: charlie carr, tammy bruce, thank you so much for being with us tonight. coming up, president trump is

>> i really don't have answers for them, other than i believe that this flies in the hands of the responsible party. for example with a g.o.p. that was vandalized, the g.o.p. office, i believe it was just te dnc offers to pay for the damage that was done? let's start extending some hands by the president has offered a path to citizenship for more than a million of the dreamers. so how about the other side starting to offer a s hand as we start to work together, at least on the issues we can agree on, like the three of us have done here tonight on this panel, the four of us, rather, a pretty good bipartisan mix. >> judge jeanine: jean allowed in, dan bongino, doug shown. go ahead. did you want to say something, dan?n? i have five seconds. >> no, no, that was doug. [laughter] >> i'm saying it's 3-1 but we can cooperate, agree,, and we

♪ welcome back to "hannity." president trump is making waves in thehe international stage, ad leading the world wheree a poly

of peace through strength. the "washington examiner" is reporting president trump and secretary mattis are warning nato allies to open their checkbooks ahead of next week's summit. according to a report, a terry and dominic obtained by "the hill," trump is planning a one-on-one meeting with putin wt aides present. plus secretary of state mike pompeo is returning to north korea. joining me now with reaction, the author of the upcoming book, "why we fight," fox news national security strategist sebastian gorka, and retired cia senior intelligence officer, fox news contributor daniel hoffman. all right, let me ask you a question. before i get into prudent, thede president's morning the nato allies opening up their check book. sebastian, how does that happen? what leverage does the president have on these guys, other than insulting them to their face, which i like, he did that a year ago. [laughs]

>> very simple, judge. we have underwritten the defense since the washington treaty was signed in 1949. we have capacities that we provide then, we provide intelligence, we have troops in many countries of the nato nations. so it's a simple quid pro quo. you have tou start paying for your own defenses for generations. they haven't even capped -- only six of the nations and nato acty keep the promise of spending 2% of their gdp on their own defense, the rest of them are what i call freeloaders, they are just freeloaders. if they don't start paying for their own defense and the gentlemen's agreement, then we are going to have to pull some assets out to. >> judge jeanine: all right, dan hoffman, i want to talk about putin now. this meeting in helsinki in finland on the 16th, the president's meeting putin alone

for a short period of time as i understand that if any other aides are going to be coming into the room. what do you think you will be talking about alone? >> i'm sure that the president will bere discussing that with secretary pompeo, and i'm sure the secretary pompeo well brief the president very carefully on the specific issues that they will want to raise in a group setting. then what might be helpful when they are one-on-one. probably, they will do some rapport building where they are together. they are not really alone. there's two translators. the room is probably mic'd up. i'm sure the president will be -- >> judge jeanine: back up. dan, dan, dan, dan, dan. the meeting is mic'd up. the room r is mic'd up. what does that mean? are there bugs in there? >> i'm pretty sure that those who will be listening or not exactly in the room at that time. that would be my assessment, yes, ma'am. >> judge jeanine: interesting.

what about pompeo? i'll go back to you, sebastian. why is pompeo -- privacy keep going back and forth from north korea? what is going on that requires them to keep going back and forth so much? >> as the nypd to say, to keep the squeeze on their shoes, to make sure to to they are actually following through. he had an incredible summit in singapore, i was there, daniel was there, the fact is, they have to produce. they have to start closing down the capabilities and allow us to have access. that is why this man, former director of the cia, former congressman on the intel committee, making sure that this isn't just some kind of protocol deal. >> judge jeanine: dan, when we look at it, the president trump, he's been president for, what, ear and a half now? meeting with kim jong un, and

now putin, and the economy, andd this is from an intelligence vantage point, this has to be pretty historic. the whole thing is a short period of time. >> what kind of makes me nostalgic for the old days. these are the times intelligence officers live for because our intelligence officers are i kicking into high gear to steal the secrets and recruit the spies for the president, so he's as well-prepared as can be so he can step out on the stage to meet these leaders for such important meetings, really, national security depends on how well these meetings go. the president established a broad framework for denuclearization in singapore, sebastian noted, but we are working now on a timeline for denuclearization, working on an itinerary of those nuclear facilities.il that's a lot of hard work but there is -- the onus is on the intelligence committee to steal the secrets and so the president is in the j know. >> judge jeanine: sebastian, helsinki. they are bugging the room. what goes on in helsinki?

>> daniel is right. as a former station chief, he knows exactly, exactly the reality, even if it is just the two heads of state and the interpreters, the spr, the after organizations, the kgb, they will be collecting intelligence from everybody who is toto the summit. that is why you leave your cell phones and laptops at home, right, daniel? >> dr. gorka is right about that. >> judge jeanine: we are running out of time. coming up, president trump honored our military and veterans tonight. we'll show you the highlights as "hannity" continues. my name is jeff sheldon,
