>> here's the federal government argument. when the federal government made offers of cash to north carolina -- and every state in the union takes cash from the feds -- it doesn't come without strings. and one of the strings to which north carolina agreed was it will comply with the federal civil rights laws. the civil rights law in question was written in 1964, and it prohibits discrimination based on sex. that's it, s-e-x. doesn't say sexual orientation, it doesn't say gender to the feds, sex in 1964 as interpreted to mean sexual orientation and gender identification. to governor mccrory that's not what it means, because every effort to amend the statute to include sexual orr generallation and gender identification, so if the judge will decide what the word sex means today, does it mean gender identification or not? trish: what do you make of the critics that say they're essentially making kids pawns in this? one of the instances is all about what happened in one particular school. >> i think the children are being used as pawns here. i see arguments on both sides. if you're a transgendered person, the government shouldn't tell you what bathroom to use. if you own a private business, the government shouldn't tell you what bathroom to build for your customers. private businesses should build bathrooms according to, in accordance with what the need of their clientele is, the government should accommodate everybody. do you know who has the best deal going? right here, fox news. we have private bathrooms. trish: it's a single. >> correct. that will solve all of this problem, but not everybody has the financial wherewithal to restructure -- trish: you're going to get some calls from some contractors, thank, judge. >> you've got to hand it to donald trump because i'm running for president, and all of a sudden i'm talking about bathrooms. listen, you're talking about tens of millions of dollars at stake in just north carolina alone. so it is a campaign issue. trish: it is a campaign issue. speaking of which, for hillary clinton her e-mails, a continuing campaign issue. so the state department says there are missing e-mails from the person who set up mrs. clinton's private e-mail server, brian pagliano. this, obviously, happened when she was secretary of state. here is a clip. >> is it the case that you have not found a single e-mail related to mr. pagliano's service while secretary clinton was here? >> so that's accurate, that we have located a pst from when his recent work with the department as a contractor but not -- those were from after when secretary clinton left the department. >> this woman, she looks like a lunatic. [laughter] trish: let's focus on really what's happening. pagliano, as you told us, got this immunity deal. he very quickly was granted immunity. but if e-mails were deleted, is that obstruction of justice? >> well, it would depend on who deleted them, when and why. but the same fbi with which he's working has managed to resurrect mrs. clinton's e-mails on the server from which she thought she had erased them. perhaps the fbi can do the same with the state department servers as well. but it is inconceivable that the i.t. person in charge of the internet usage for the secretary of state herself suddenly has lost all of his e-mails. obviously, something's gone awry here, and it's probably not mr. pagliano who caused this, it's probably caused by someone who wants to frustrate mr. pagliano's cooperation with the fbi. he is the principal witness against mrs. clinton, and he can provide evidence which is devastating like she paid him to commit the crime of migrating her secret e-mails from the secret -- state department server to her nonsecure, secret, personal/private server which we know was hacked. trish: all very cloak and dagger. judge, thank you. >> you're welcome. trish: as always, shedding light on what we need. judge andrew napolitano. >>> speaking of energy, hillary clinton may face a consequence this evening because of her flip-flopping on the coal industry. obviously, central to the economy of west virginia. we're going to tell you how it could cost clinton in the primaries. >> we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. i don't know how to explain it other than what i said was totally out of context from what i meant, because i have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time. ♪ ♪ the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. because, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned every day. using wellness to keep away illness. and believing a single life can be made better by millions of others. as a health services and innovation company optum powers modern healthcare by connecting every part of it. so while the world keeps searching for healthier we're here to make healthier happen. trish: gas prices dropped earlier this year at the pump, chances are you are paying less than $2 a gallon. that was when crude was at its 12 month low of $30 a barrel or, but gas prices are back up, $3 a gallon in parts of california and elsewhere. oil prices back up as well to nearly $45 a barrel. average price for a gallon of gasoline across the country, $2.21 up from $2.04 a month ago. speaking of energy, west virginia polls closing in less than two hours. the coal industry central to that state's economy. fox business' adam shapiro is there in west virginia. so, adam, when you peek with people who are showing up -- speak with people who are showing up to vote, what are they telling you? >> reporter: it depends who you ask. some people will actually say it is time to move away from coal as the driving engine of economic growth in this part of the world. others will tell you that the obama administration regulations, that hillary clinton and bernie sanders have both vowed to continue, have sped up the demise of coal. and others will tell you that -- i have two people who want to put me out of work, clinton and sanders, and one who wants to help me get a job. that would be mr. trump, and you can guess what that man's going to be voting. so the bottom line is that among people in west virginia, especially the coal miners, i want you to take a look at this. between 2012 and 2014, employment fell by 19.6%. and that was up to 2014. it's fallen since then as well, so there are fewer coal miners. then take a look at what's happened to the industry as a whole, 92 mines shut down in 2014 and more in 2015, so that's a few less than actually exists now. that's what's going on in west virginia. and still, you had bernie sanders out in oakland today talking about the end of fossil fuels, essentially, and calling for a ban on fracking. he even said he's gained support in west virginia, of all places, and he still is committed to taking this all the way through california to the convention. he believes he can win. listen to bernie sanders. >> we have about 45.5% of the pledged delegates. those are the delegates actually selected and voted upon by the people rather than just the superdelegates of the establishment. we think we've got a shot to win in west virginia tonight. >> reporter: is so --ing so mr. sanders promising to keep going, hillary clinton promising to keep going. both have promised multibillion dollar packages to help people who have been hurt by the transition to other fuel sources, but it depends if you believe 30 billion or 41 billion can rectify the situation. back to you, deirdre. deirdre: adam shapiro in west virginia and, of course, we are focused on that state this evening. lou dobbs, neil ca suto, they're going to be bringing the results as soon as they come in. team effort, it all starts at 7 p.m. eastern time. >>> quick look at disney. as we told you, the stock down in the afterhours session, second quarter earnings missing on both the top and the bottom line. concerns seem warranted about the effect of cord cutting especially on disney's espn business. on track, by the way, the stock is to shave off 44 points from the dow in tomorrow's session. >>> well, exit poll data will be released in just a few minutes in west virginia, nebraska, the two primaries in contest this evening. we are going to tell you who has the early lead. ♪ ♪ >> we have the possibility, it is a steep hill to climb, and i acknowledge that, but we have the possibility of walking into the democratic convention with a majority of pledged delegates.
