lou: we always know whatever chapter will be fascinating, we recommend the book, brad meltzer the houseecrets, as you look at these historical figures, you mentioned just two. you have gone across the canvass of american history. and what do you hung of cand -- candidates, how do these now, trump and clinton, tonight, also bernie sanders. stack up with figures that you have researched soy well and written about so brilliantly. >> one thing we have an obsession with george washington and abraham lincoln, i think right now, as a country, we're still starving for heroes, no matter what side of the political party you are on, they don't want them who stand for whatever it is money or power or whatever. we love about george washington, is he stood for something greater for us as a nation. you know one thing i was researching the book, i talked with an intelligence officer who said there was a dictator, who -- this is true story -- he said there was a dictator we hated and he hated us but it was through one of his top lieutenants secretly working for u.s., i said why? he said, because his lie

lou: brad meltzer thank you so much. >> house of secrets. >> join us tomorrow, 7 eastern for our election coverage. kennedy: yeah, i monday we're back. we have lou dobbs to thank, i am watching state most famous for its gold rush turn to something funky, the california primary has become mold rush erase -- the race to the finish. they sprint with their walkers. hillary clinton embodies all that is wrong with california democratic establishment. high on corruption, and control. and most people go for the ride out of fear of being thrown under the bus, and bernie sanders is running to the collectivism, responsible for more worldwide death than aids and malaria combined. for rights for individual for needs of group. latter is proving more intriguing to california voters who know they have nothing to lose, in a protest vote since hillary clinton holds hostage the superdelegates vote she won at the end of a loaded gun, as these two old white codgers gum their way through the golden state by promising minorities an early bird buffett of free stuff, they will be hard pressed on make good on the

i want to go back to carlos smith from the equality florida and eddie meltzer who was at the club justooting took place. this has to be a profound blow to your community. so much so that do you fear that you'll never again live this kind of open life despite the fact that you have equal rights now under the law, now you are targeted by islamic extremists and you know how they feel about gays and lesbians. >> this is an act of terror against all americans certainly. i think our community will stand in solidarity, be stronger. there's clouds gathering at the parliament house, another gay club in orlando just down the street from here right now and they are sending a message that love trumps hate. it's the same message that we need to send to those folks who lost loved ones today, the loved ones who i want to name on the air. >> name them. we're going to do a segment just to name the victims, i promise you. >> absolutely. >> you can't leave. >> eddie, stand by as well. as i mentioned, we have an interview coming up with a spokesman for the muslim community. is there enough surveillance on

joining me now, danielle is back along with christopher bedford and gillian meltzer.ronies on this, they run so deep. let's take both of them, this major donor gets appointed to a very sensitive intelligence advisory board of sorts, has zero experience. someone does an investigation, and he resigns. >> well, here's the thing about this, it's what americans understand. hillary clearly broke the law with her e-mails, it's almost certain. but people don't really care. what they do understand is corruption. you see someone with no experience, you see the state department -- abc caught him dead to rights. and it's only because he's a donor to the clintons. and the same thing has been coming out with gulf states and places that have traded in blood diamonds and human slavery giving $100 million to the clinton foundation while she's secretary of state. and it kind of comes across as well with bill clinton taking $16.5 million from a private, for-profit university. this story broke in 2015, bloomberg covered it, we covered it a little bit. but just like a lot of clinton stori
