South korea fired a shortrange missile with a clear message for pyongyang. This occurred six minutes after north koreas launch. Experts say with each test north korea is getting closer to perfecting the reentry of a potential Nuclear War Head into the earths atmosphere capable of striking the United States. Its likely the enjoy who recently visited from chain a was trying to negotiate with them. That has not succeeded. Reporter they warned we cannot rule out the possibility pyongyang may complete their Nuclear Program in a year. It would put every city in the United States in range if the warhead survived reentry. Lou President Trumps comments on north korea coming during a meeting with paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell. He ripped into nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer for refusing to attend the meeting. Mike enuel has our report. I have to run down to the white house for a meeting i gather nancy pelosi and chuck human are not coming to. Reporter shuck schumer and in rrp backed out much a scheduled meeting with President Trump, speak per ryan and majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. As long as he remains a destructive force, it will be a waste of everyone time to continue working with some win who clearly has no interest in coming to an agreement. We hope the president in order to avoid this calamity will change his mind. Reporter the Senate Majority leader notes he never backed out of a meeting when obama was in the white house. I cant imagine why the democratic leader and miss pelosi decided not to do their job. What they need to do is step up and say yes to doing their job job in keeping the government up and running. Reporter they are needed in the senate where most of major pieces of legislation require 60 votes and there are only 52 republicans. Shoer rattled off a laundry list of items he wants included in a spending bill. Other democrats pushed for addressing the status of children brought to this country illegally by their parents. You dont have 218 votes to pass a budget and you need our help . You know we are ready, willing to keep the government open. Reporter gop leadership asked for a lateafternoon meeting.

The battle over the rightful lawful director of the Consumer Protection bureau. Federal judge Timothy Kelly putting a quick end to the lefts efforts to take over the agency. Ed the judge rejected a lawsuit from a left starter who claimed she was the lawful acting head of the cfpb. The judge said no. Reporter President Trumps acting districtor for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau blasted out a photo of himself digging into the details without mentioning the mounting challenge to his authority. 237 the cfpbs Department Director installed in that post last week sued the president and mulvaney in federal court seek an emergency order to bar mulvaney from exercising authority on the ground the law that established the bureau makes her the acting director. She said i plan on being at the agency taking calling and meetings with external stakeholders and bureau staff. Reporter Justice Department attorneys sought to quash the suit. The vacancies reform act grants the president the right to appoint replacements. They noted the agreement of mary mcleod its acting director mulvaney who is listed as the acting director. All Bureau Personnel were instructed to act with the understanding mr. Mulvaney is the acting director of the cfpb. English is suing on her own behalf. Reporter mulvaney fired off two memos to staff, apologizing for the confusion and disruption. But adding please disregard any email sent by or instructions you receive from english. Reporter we learned that Mick Mulvaney reprimanded Leandra English. Lou we are coming back with much, much more. Stay with us. North korea firing an icbm missile for the first time in two months and President Trump vowing to take care of the situation. We have a very serious approach and nothing changed. . Lou what will it take for the rogue regime to change its actions. A federal judge ruling against an obama leftover engaged a desperate attack against the president s executive power. We take over the court battle over the triteful leadership of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. What were is this a phone . Or a little internet machine . [ phone rings ] it makes you wonder.

Found him to be only guilty of four of the 18 comownts counts with which he was charged. That means he will not face the den penalty and you to 45 years in prison. Hillary clinton was advising President Trump how to handle north korea. She called to the ends to the bluster and tough talk. This is the same clinton who failed to rein in north Koreas Nuclear ambitions. Extraordinary, criticizing the Foreign Policy of the United States in a foreign capital. President obama going to france to china errand yeah where i will meet with chinese president xi jinping and the indian president modi. Back in may, ther obama did the same thing, shadowing President Trump, following him after his first trip to europe after he became president. Ambassador john bolton, its good to see you. Lets start with north korea. North korea establishing that they have a Delivery System in this icbm forth first time today reaching 2,800 miles up into space. They are armed and fully dangerous to every part of the United States. Whats your reaction . Way was surprised by how President Trumps critics are trying to say this Development Means his policies are failing. Thats not the way i see it. The president ial inherented inherited. Lou i dont want there to be any misunderstanding. His critics with scurrilous cowards who failed to do their duty to rein in the kim family as they kept moving forward with nuclear ambitions. Thats right. He inherited a difficult problem. Hes in the first phase of as rational approach to north korea. I dont have High Expectations for sanctions. But if sanctions are going to work, they are going to take time. Lou we dont have time. I have estimates for time of delivery of this system from stut korea the ends of this year, not early next year, the ends of this year. The pace with which we are watching their Ballistic Missiles being launched, i dont doubt it whatsoever. I cant make an observation about the Nuclear Warheads they are developing, but the Delivery System is moving apace. The president will have to think how top ratchet up military pressure against north korea. Possibly shooting down missiles. Possibly a military embargo. It has to be done carefully 367 and i think it president has dont right thing to try to get people of i to get forces in the region. The. Lou it seems he has support of president xi. Its vague and uncertain. Its not what would be most desirable. An open and concerted effort among russia, chain a, the United States and europe. But we are no longer in a position talking about hypothetical obstructions. This is a clear and present threat to the security of the United States and everybody country in the world. I think thats right. I think there has been progress with china. Last week china shut off its main road into north korea. I dont think sanctions are going to work. But we have to move down this road before we start ratcheting up military pressure. I would say the timetable, the reality of the delivery of a Nuclear War Head on one of those icbms against the unite ates orts allies. Want toned with one question. I am watchingillary clinton playing shadow to President Trump in beijing. We are about to watch former president obama do the same thing, follow just as he did President Trump on his itinerary in may. At what point does this president have to pick up a phone and say we are going to consider that an unfriendly act if you continue to give audience to these folks who are obviously subversive of american interests . I think you are right. This is shameful. These supreme no class. If the republicans had done this to president obama the New York Times would have a front page headline condemning them. He should send a signal to various foreign leaders that this would be considered an unfriendly act and has to be more outsnoang this country about these activities by mrs. Clinton and president clinton. What about english and cordray. Obviously they hold the government in in trivial regard. I would love to see the president bring out the u. S. Marshals to escort all of them out of washington. Be sure to vote in tonights poll. Do you think chuck and nancy care how super sil ridiculous to the American People . On wall street a record day for stocks. The dow looked at the north Korean Missile launched, yawnd and got back to business. Miss accomplished. The dow up 256 points on the day. The s p rallies 26 points. Volume on the big board 3. 4 billion shares. President trump touting consumer confidence. A 17year high. Arbys offering to buy buffalo wild wings. The House Democrats used 50,000 of taxpayer money to pay off a former staffer who threatened to sue. Its also a different fund. It turns out there is more than one secret slush fund. Wouldnt you not. Gregg jarrett joins us next. Lou imreg, we have a lot to cover here. Lets start with this money. Gregg its all done in secret. Which is a congressional ploy they set up for themselves. Lou why doesnt somebody ask speaker ryan, how many more damn funds do you have . Gregg on congress could create a slush fund for themselves that they use as hush money. Thats what it is. Its time they update their code of conduct. Lou what about the low life over at the financial Protection Bureau. This stuff by cordray and Leandra English who was installed as the new deputy acting director. Why didnt that judge throw them both in jail for being frivolous and subversive . Gregg im with you on that. Cordray knew what he was doing is illegal. Its abundantly clear under the law. Experienced lawyer. I correct myself. Lou corrects me all the time off camera. He knew what he was doing. He knew what he was doing was illegal. This was a silly, stupid lawsuit. The stunt she pulled was very clear. The president has authority. Cordray does not. Period. Lou i would have preferred he somehow bring in the u. S. Marshals to escort them out of court. The deep 8, the left, the obama holdovers. They think they are in a stage play of some kind. Gregg the judge could have done something. If you abiewts court process, you are in contempt of court. I would have loved to see the judge exercise that rule. Lou i am used to this thing taking weeks. This guy hand it quickly. Gregg a first year law student would have known the answer to this. Lou i think of the other cases that drag out for weeks and months. The first year law students or whatever they were didnt quite work it out. Lets turn to the benghazi suspect. Cleared of murder but committed terrorism. If you committed terrorism and killed people as you did, how could you not be found guilty of murder . Gregmurder . Gregg the federal fy murder rule spellsifies certaint specifies certain fell any but doesnt include terrorism. It needs to be updated. He will spend the rest of his life behind bars. Hes look at 45 years if the stebses run consecutively. And i believe he will. Much more straight ahead. Stay with us. President trump says the tax cut bill was in a good position after he met with senate leaders. President trump the end result would be the largest tax cut in the history of our country. Lou can relationship cans send it to the house. How could you make water skiing that much more difficult . One way to be to make it barefoot while being towed by an airplane. Stay with us. So how old do you want to be when you retire . Uhh, i was thinking around 70. Alright, and before that . You mean after that . No, im talking before that. Do you have things you want to do before you retire . Oh yeah sure. Ok, like what . But i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement . Were absolutely doing that. But theres no law you cant make the most of today. What do you want to do . Id really like to run with the bulls. Wow. Yea. Hope youre fast. I am.

Reports that counselman green slept with one of his staffers and sued her when she claimed to go public. All of that occurred nearly a decade ago but the congressman and the staff put out a joint statement saying they are quote consenting frendle. Its really a place of just remarkable virtue. A great model for all of america. A third woman coming forward to accuse democratic congressman john conyers of sexual harassment. A former staffer in his Detroit Office said the congressman touched her inappropriately and made unwanted sexual advances toward her. Joining me, ed rollins. You spent a lot of time in politics and government and washington, d. C. This cant get much more sordid, can it . Ed no, it cant. There are no rule to the get elected to the senate or congress. You have to be 30 years of age to be a senator and 25 years to be a congressman. Then the members are supposed to set their own rules. The Ethics Committee doesnt function. The American Public has the right to at least have workplace rules. Lou if they need rules for that, why elect them . Ed you shouldnt elect them. Most of laws passed by the lawmakers, they exempt themselves. Lou you have got a speaker and a majority leader in the senate, speaker of the house, we are not saying a word as we watch a federal judge have to knock down an attempt to subvert the government and put in Leandra English at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. There is quiet from the Republican Leadership instead of a show and demonstration of solidarity and unity for the president of the United States. Edrequires an agency the congress created and they fund. They should be doing what you are saying but they wont. They have a whole bunch of them being publicly exposed. Lou they are trying to subvert the president of the United States. Ed i understand that. And its not going to happen. The court today judged on behalf of the laws. Lawmakers who make laws ought to live by them. Lou lets talk about chuck and nancy. Ed do we have to . Lou they are the most of appalling people. Withdrawing from a meeting with the president of the United States with a week and a half to go. The government could be shut down unless they reach an agreement. Ed the president said exactly what they stand for. They dont want an agreement, they necessity want to raise taxes. They want daca. This all drama. Lou where are we head. Tax reform comes out of committee today. We arwe are ready for a vote. Will Mitch Mcconnell deliver a vote that will send this legislation to the house . Ed mcconnell delivered a vote today. He turned johnson around. If mcconnell doesnt get this thing through, its on them. The president has done everything he should have done and could have done. If there are one or two members who vote against this, they will have to pay a heavy price because the American People want tax reform. Lou it was a good day for the president and a tough day for the deep state and the dems. Especially chuck and nancy. Roll the video and watch as a barefoot water skier puts his skills on display. Look at this. Whatter skiing barefoot, an incredible onelegged balancing act while being pulled along by an airplane. Thats pretty impressive. Even if you dont spin or jump. We are told reliably he did. A federal judge delivering the Trump Administration a victory over an obama leftover at cfpb. Stay with us. Paying less for my medicare . Im open to that.

Catherineher catherineherridge. Fit was personal blowback to me and to my family, to my office. The i. G. And myself, we would be the first two to be fired with her administration. That was definitely going to happen. Lou joining us, tom de depre. Its the first time i have seen anyone come out of hiding and Say Something critical of Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state talking about marginalized and threatened by clinton allies. Whats your reaction to the statements . Im disappointed but i cant say im surprised. What we have seen and learned about the clinton operations, they are not afraid to use these strong arm tactics. If you are going to blot whistle you will pay a political price. Lou how does it get reconciled . Its one thing to straighten the record out and make his statements. Is there accountability . I think the fact that hes telling the story is putting the media spotlight on this. Its possible people of on the hill or elsewhere will show an interest and ferret out what happened. You cant have a situation where the Inspector General or whistleblowers are basically chilled from telling the truth because there will be a political payback if they do so. We have then even more gross allegations of conduct. We know for a fact that the entire head of the fbi was quoteunquote marginalized and corrupted because they refused to move forward with an investigation of Hillary Clinton or i think the head of the fbi was told by the attorney general Loretta Lynch to call it a matter, not an investigation. Thats right. Certainly we heard a lot of stories about what the attorney general, Loretta Lynch, was doing behind the scenes to tamp down any discussion of what Hillary Clinton had been up to and trying to spin things in a way thats atypical for an attorney general. The Justice Department is the Gold Standard for objectivity. And this undercuts the administration ofustice. Lou do youhink the department of justice is the Gold Standard after we looked at the fbi, ignoring the a payforplay sinister Clinton Foundation that was obviously working for the clintons, personal gain as well as against the national interest. We heard a lot about the Justice Department the last 8 years and not all of it is good. Im hopeful people on the hill will lift you have the hood and look understood it to find out what happened. I think the vast majority of Justice Department employees are honest brokers doing their job every day. The fact that there may be some bad apples in there i dont think thud taint the overall should taint the overall good Justice Department tries to. Every day. Lou i look at benghazi, fast and furious, the irs scandal, scandal after scandal, investigation after investigation, and not not one Single Person in state years was brought to account for that misconduct on the part of the Justice Department or the heads of the fbi. We have a man sitting now in Andrew Mccabe who did not declare a conflict until a week before the election at the fbi in recusing himself. It just goes on. Andrew wiseman working for the special counsel. The special counsel himself a record of disaster, strong arm tactics. And frankly a very poor record of success in his major cases. This is not a candy rock mott called the Justice Department. Lets hope they can restore the Justice Department to its original vision. Until recent shift was the Gold Standard. Lou do you think it is now . And do you think it ought to be held in that high regard . The leadership has been a disaster. I cant quarrel with a lot of the things you mention. When it comes to the clinton and obama years, there seems to be a double standard in a lot of the things you mention. But i keep coming back to 99 of the work the Justice Department and the fbi do. Thats the piece of it i dont think should be overlooked. Most of of the people who go to work every day are trying to do the right thing. Lou President Trump ripped into noshow democrats. Charlie hurt and mark i known its all popculture trivia, but it gets pretty intense. Ahh. The new guy. Whoa, he looks he looks exactly like me. No. Separated at birth much . We should switch name tags, and no one would know who was who. Jamie, you seriously think you look like him . Uh, im pretty good with comparisons. Like how progressive helps people save money by comparing rates, even if were not the lowest. Even if were not the lowest. Whoa wow. I mean, the outfit helps, but pretty great. Look at us. Lou in an online poll he asked you if credible collusion should start first at the doorsteps of the fbi and the obama administration, 90 of you said yes, good idea. Charlie hurt, a talk show host on wor, mark simone. Lets start with you. We get taxes out of a committee. The president is feeling good, he wins with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This woman who cordray installed is upset she cant have president ial powers. You have got to give the deep state credit be they try and try. Steve bannon may be right. You are not going to drain the swamp. Im not willing to concede that. I think the president is doing a pretty good job. But it is work. What do you think, charles . Its like a zombie of bureaucracy. I refuse to believe it cant be drained. There has to be some way. But it is like a walking dead zombie. You can kill it a thousand times and its still moving in a direction towards preserving itself and building itself back up. Mick mulvaney said only in washington could you get sued for showing up at work. He used to be a little more lou dobbs like. And i know watches the show. Those that do know whats going on. He has to explain what was going on here. President obama going to asia. Lou isnt that remarkable . Obama is still doing what he did back in may. Hes literally shadowing President Trump on overseas trips. I dont know in you remember the episode of the simpsons where they declared jimmy carter . The town declared jimmy carter as historys monster and put up a statue to him. They should take that statue down and replace it with barack obama. When you look at all the problems we have throughout the world and look back at the last 8 years, president obama either did nothing to fiction any of it or did stuff to make it 10 times worse and left it all on President Trumps plate. The idea hes going to shadow him around the globe and have all these meetings where he has literally made things so that hes costing peoples lives. Who knows how many it will wind up being. Lou hes ignoring the hell out of me. For 8 years he was disengaged. Now he wants to work . Lou he said his greatest fault was, he was ask what his greatest fault was, an said lazy. It turns out he worked very hard to up end just about everything in the national interest. I think its not that. Lou you dont . I think it a deep state something. Lou i cant wait to find out. Thats it for us. Join us tomorrow. Congressman ron desantis among our guest good night from new york. Kennedy the president on capitol hill trying to sell his tax plan to sceptical republicans. Will they buy what hes selling . Another wildcard in the crazy Alabama Senate race. North korea Just Launched another missile. Why is Hillary Clinton trying to undermine the president s plans with kim jongun. Four republican senators are threatening to take tax reform. Republicans are about to get turned down because they dont share the proper vision of limits goveren
