Votes to filibuster, so republicans are likely to go nuclear. It is pathetic. They are so stupid they think we have no alternative to do what has to be done. Lou leonard leo is joining us tonight. And terrorism in russia. A bomb blast tearing through a subway train in st. Petersberg, at least 11 People Killed and 50 wounded, Police Suspect that terrorist attack was carried out by a suicide bomber, linked to radical islamists. Lou good evening tonight there are charges of widespread wrong doing in the Obama Administration. Specifically sources naming former National Security adviser susan rice as highest ranking official to call for the unmasking, that is the identification of trump transition officials caught in Obama Administrations nsa surveillance. It is unclear, when that surveillance began, but as early as july of last year, and carried through until the president elect assumed office on january 20. We have learned it susan rice began asking for the unmasking of Trump Campaign officials and possibly president himself, as early as july, National Security count staff, and Trump Administration discover evidence of rices involvement in the unmask unmasking in computer logs left behind by Obama Administration, rice just last monelast month claiming she knew nothing. I know nothing about this, i was surprised to see reports from chairman nunes on that count today. I really dont know to what chairman nunes was referring. Lou well, it appears she may have her memory refresh, last month fbi director james comey confirms that rice was one of a large number of officials that had power to unmask an american citizen w. H. O. Has bee who has been caught in surveillance of foreign officials or leader. National security advisory susan rice have access to unmask u. S. Citizens name. Yes, in general, and any other National Security advisory would, i think as a matter of their ordinary course of business. Lou sean spicer asked about revelations buhe declined to comment on what role rice might have had or motives. I dont want to get into a motive, we again, me getting to the motive assumes certain things in fact that i dont think that were ready to go to yet, that would be getting into the middle of an investigation. I think there has been enough public discussion and reporting on this im not going to comment on this any further until the committees have come to a conclusion of that sort. Lou such conduct wul be wrong doing and unamerican as can be. To pervert that is intelligence for part son purposes for partisan purposes, but apparently, Obama Administration broke no laws. Here it discuss what appears to be a major abuse of power,ers andive like specifically for political purposes congressman ron desantos, great to have you with us. Lets start with susan rice. Calling for unmasks of american citizens, and incredibly there no penalty at least as far as weve been able to determine for her conduct if these allegations turn out to be all of them true. That may be true depending on the facts. But even if there is no statute that specifically prohibits that, if that conduct is the case, that is an abuse of power, American People should be upset. We have figure out who was unmasked and why, and what that information used for, if that is the same information that been illegally leaked to press time and time again to kn cap this president , tn i think you may have something. Lou all of a sudden, National Left wing media is backing off. Remember the mocking tone taken by what President Trump called failing new york times, and various left wing media outlets, this is now, would you not say, i mean this is a major scandal . Absolutely, they ran all these stories where there was no factual basis, they would say, well, it may be the case there was a connection or a contact. And a big hulla ballou. There is an example where very sensitive intelligence tools that are used to protect the American People, may have been turned against certain americans for political purposes, so, as abuse of power, this has to be near the top of what americans would fear when their government does abuse power. Lou is it appropriate that fbi investigates . Comey seems to have been caught in every political cross current in past two years . Are there committees that are taking that investigation right now beyond intelligence and senate and house. I think intelligence committees is where you need to do it because of sensitive tie of information and tools, i think, based on what we know, to me would be appropriate for the fbi to look into this. Unlike some of the russia stuff that is always talked about with this case with leaks we know those are violations of the law. If we step back from the leaks and find out this was unmasked by National Security adviser, to me that is a major hot tamale. Lou i want to turn to china, north korea, president xi jinping, and president to meet, president making it clear, deliveringhich is in all practical purposes a ultimatum, either you handle north korea or President Trump will. I think his administration is right to say the age of strategic patience is over, that has failed. We see a maniacal dictator in north korea, something needs to change, i think that president is right to press on china firmly, i hope that china understands it is in their interest as well as ours to help keep north korea in a box. Lou being supportive, a warm welcome. And your reaction to this prominence that President Trump has given the egyptian leader . I think that President Trump is right. He has strong ties to america, trained here as military was on the, he wants to fight radical islamic terrorism. Those are leaders in arab world that we can ally with, who will be on our side in the war on terrorism, not making common cause with some of the islamists. Lou congressman ron desantis. Thank you. Were coming right back, much more ahead stay with us. President trump today welcomed egypts president to the white house. Well fight terrorism and other things, and were going to befriends for a long, long time, we have a great bond with the people of egypt, and i look forward to working with the president. We take up that and more with ambassador john bolton. And President Trump warning china, to control north korea or the United States will act unilaterally. Well preview the upcoming summit between President Trump and between president xi of china. Stay with us, were coming right back. My business was built with passion.

[ screams ] [ [ screams ] ] [ shouting ] brace yourself this is crazy [ tires screeching ] whoo boom baby rated pg13. [ screams ] lou a deadly blast on a st. Petersberg train. A suicide bomber. Has been identified as 23yearold from central asia, russia president putin in st. Petersberg at the time, meeting with president of belarus. President trump today met with president Abdel Fattah Elsisi at the white house, talking about bolstering ties between the two country and fighting radical islamist terrorism. Were very much behind president elsisi, he has been a fantastic job in a difficult situation, were behind egypt and e peoplef egypt. And the United States has believe me, backing we have strong backing. I just want to say to you, mr. President , that you have a great friend and ally in the United States and in me. Lou that message could not be clearer, joining us to discuss the president s meeting, and upcoming summit with chinas xi jinping, john bolton. Ambassador good to see you. Before we turn to egypt and north korea to russia. Susan rice, former National Security adviser now identified as lif least the most prominent member of Obama Administration to call for unmasking of trump transition officials your thoughts . Well, this is stunning news. They cant just decide they would like to unmask names to find out who whose name is involved in a particular intercept. Procedure is you have to go to nsa, and say, here is my reason for wanting to know what this persons name is. Reflects that proliferation or something to do with National Security. And if shy said that if she said that, even someone so senior as her. But her real motivation of political, he was kind of committing a fraud ow on intelligence gathers system. If he facilitated that misuse of that intelligence, she has serious legal problems here, and so does everyone else who worked with her on it. Lou that looks like that number could be large with agents that evolved as a result. Here is the most important question. What did the president know and when about he know it . Im not talking about nald trump. I am talking about barack obama. Ople have been getting cases of the vapors or to whary what extent trudgtic extent the Trump Administration brought nunes is the white house and whatnot. That narrative as of today that collapsed. It should, and now nancy pelosi should apologize to before innunes. And susan rice, with National Security, was he unaware of what she was doing . Did he ask to see any of this, did anybody ask him in his happy retirement did he approve susan rice doing this . There is a long stream of questions to be asked that the Mainstream Media seems to overlook. Lou as is their wont. As is theyre wont. And now, to the st. Persberg . We have no claim of responsibility for this attack, as far as i know, it could be chechens or, Islamist Movement of uzbekistan. And this is something that they are demonstrating their reach, they canment fro come from caucuses and strike st. Petersberg, it is just a few more miles to get to western pe, where they could strike again. Lou turning to upcoming summit with president xi, i suppose, not used to being talked to as President Trump has spoken to him, at least from a distance. Lets put their up the full screen. Lets put up the full screen. So what everyone can see what President Trump said to president xi, he said, well if china is not going to solve north korea, we will, that all im telling you, what do you make of it . I think that china has been i will be polite schizophrenic over past 20 years when it comes to north korea, they say it over and over again. It would be destabilizing east asia, but they have not done what they alone have the capability of doing, that is stopping north korea from preceding with nuclear weapons, were down to very, very few options here, when it comes to protects United States. Lou what will xi do with that warning . If he is sensible he will talk to trump about what we can do together. I think only longterm solution is ending north korea if you want to end the nuclear threat, merge the two koreas and reunite the peninsula. It has cooperate corroborated for 20 plus yea with iran. Lou it has a demonstrative record of being a an atroash a atrocious threat to the region, and reterically to the world. What do you do to rid the world of the dispottic jim jianjim kim kim jongun. Lou china better step up and acknowledge that only eliminating regime can really solve the problem, we can work with china on that. Our interests are not so far apart as people think. But if china will not acknowledge the reality, options are few, military option, that is preemptive strikes arin something to consider. I dont welcome that, i think that poses a real risk for the civilian population of north korea. But what is our alternative . It is not appetizing. Lou ambassador john bolton. Thank you.

Lou the Trump Administration stepping up enforcement of our immigration laws, but thed a man straition is meeting resistance from those who are supposed enforce our laws. A growing battle between the department of Homeland Security and local court officers. Lawyers and judges said they are seeing more arrests at court which they say is leading to more undocumented immigrants not showing up for court dates. Californias top judge accused accused accused i. C. E. Of stalking people. I have a duty and responsibility to speak out when the administration of justice in Washington State is impacted by policies and activities. Reporter but thats what a form justice says his colleague is doing. Its not up to the judiciary to tell i. C. E. Where and how and when they should be detaining people. Reporter i. C. E. Defends the policy in a statement sayingment of the arrests i. C. E. Targeted are foreign nationals with prior criminal convictions in the u. S. Like a convicted drunk driver who was aloud by a judge in portland, oregon to use a judge exit from the courthouse hallway. We are coming up against a showdown with officials who want to interfere with immigration enforcement. Reporter a letter ripped her for accusations of stalk which is a crime. The fed i. C. E. Has the right to make arrests in public places, including the courthouse. Lou a few thoughts on the democratic thugs in the senate who are about to filibuster a Supreme Court nominee. The Senate Judiciary committee voted to advance judge neil gorsuch to the senate. What we saw today was the position of the modern Democratic Party. They are opposed to donald trump appointing anyone to the Supreme Court. They are gnashing their teeth over the fact that they lost last year. This is one of the reasons they lost. Lou the Democratic Party is out of excuses for what has become its nasty democratic thuggery. Demonstrating Democratic Leaders insist on going to the flowest common denominator in their politics and their tactics. How is more rant must dems be to hurl expletives at the president of the United States, calls President Trump a bully and declaring mr. Trump didnt win the election. Then resorting to vulgarity and profanity claiming republicans dont give an expletive about people. The dems have 23 Democratic Senators up for reef election next year. 10 of those dems in states won by President Trump. The dems will to filibuster one of the countrys most celebrated and distinguished jurists, and spending all the partys energy and time obstructing the policies and the nominees of President Trump. The dems are so far on the wrong side of history that its highly likely they wont recover for years. Its as if the leaders of the Democratic Party are committed to republican majority that every level of government. At least in that respect the dems are showing proper concern for the national interest. Sphowrp quotation of the evening. This one from thomas temperature soul. The big divide is between talkers and doers. We are coming back, stay with us. Some members of the if Freedom Caucus are blaming chief of staff Reince Priebus and speaker paul frien for the collapse of the healthcareill. The president agreed with us twice and each time priebus and ryan said no, no, no, you cant do that. He wanted to make a deal if he was ready to make a deal.

Lou President Trump golfing with one of the biggest critics of ryancare, rand paul. We did talk about healthcare reform. I think the sides are getting closer to together and i remain optimistic well get obamacare repealed. Lou the Trump White House mapping out a stage in overhaul of the tax code, but the administration is taking the lead, not the house speaker. Here to discuss the latest efforts to repeal obamacare, the gorsuch filibuster, susan rice unmasking trump team members. Thats just today. I have to say, i thought senator paul looked like a man who enjoyed that conversation. He looked natural on ought golf course. Optimism is always a good position to be in. It is funny when you see the way he and trump went at each other in the primaries. This was to be one of the last unmade beds in that punch. The Republican Party if its going to succeed it has to come together. You cant count on the democrats for anything. They will be no, no, no forever. So he has to pull all the republicans in. Lou what i like is the fact hes taking leadership. Taking over the tax reform he will amendment if there is going to be something there. I presume hes going to do the same thing with obamacare. One of the most generous things is he did tell the world how badly he beat his opponent. Im sure paul hasnt played as much golf as the president. If you have a bunch of courses you can practice a lot. The bill that was put forth is not gog to pass the sena. There has to be a lot of alteration, and senator paul has been one of the key players. Hes also close to the freedom cow cuts. He may be the leader here. The critical thing is the president has to basically play the game of addition and not talking about beating these guys up in primaries because actual need every single republicans. Lou when you talk about the president beating up folks. A couple of guys i think highly of, it would be nice if i could give him a list everybody in america would like to see, who is the Congress Maine want beat up . It doesnt work as well. The better thing is lou a little honey. People forget obama had 34 defections on his obamacare. The blame game is going into this. Paul ryan, this is sticking to him. Ryancare. It has been for a long time called that. Do you think the president can move this thing through quickly, putting that in washington parlance, that means somewhere around three months . Paul ryan seems to have disappeared since that shellacking he took. And i think thats a good thing. Lou a shellacking he delivered to the president. He was lie together American People and the president of the United States. As speaker of the house it was his responsibility to deliver the votes and he failed. As ed said here, he took too big of a role, he wrote the bill, he shepherded it through webs counting the vote. He needs a good team around him. Lou this man is the guy who came with this better way nonsense. You heard me talking about this stupid better way thing that religion came with as we have a president ial campaign underway. I had people tell me in the white house for two weeks mr. Dobbs everywhere, ryan came in and told the president , told the president in three weeks we have the votes, we have the votes. And to me thats the mortal sin. The job of counting votes is the most important element of being speaker. Lou giving a warning to president xi, not exactly the Freedom Caucus. Differing an ultimatum. By the way, i dont know what else he could have done. The chinese have handled every american president up to this one when it comes to north korea. It will be fascinating to watch the Media Coverage of this event. It will be how wrong trump is and how he missed an opportunity. Gut very fact we were in this position is because barack obama did nothing for 8 years except embolden china. The context is trump inherited a mess. Lou there is a ray of hope if i may use the old susan rice, the scandal that is now in front of even the National Leftwing media cant be avoided. This is annex president and hissed a this an expresident and his Intelligence Team its outrageous. It shifts the burden back on the Obama Administration andy what they were doing and participating in a campaign that had nothing to do with them. Deet niles all the way through. Lou dont tell that to the democrats. They lost their three top official at the dnc. You have got a Democratic Party under President Trump that spied on the Senate Intelligence committee and the National Organizing committee, the dnc was rotten to the core. It had to be replaced because they rigged the game against senator Bernie Sanders and his followers. Ed rollins, thank you for putting up with me. Thank you, gentlemen. Please roll the video. This thrill seeker taking speed writing to new extremes. Hes soars dangerously close to these buildings in the swiss alps. Its training for his thrill ride took paul year.

Liberty stands with you™ Liberty Mutual insurance lou joining me to discuss the obstructionist tactics of the democrats who are hell bent on trying to block President Trumps Supreme Court nominee, leonard leo, good to have you here. A partyline vote in the Senate Judiciary. We expected that. But the threat of filibuster, it looks like this is playing into senator mcconnells hands. Absolutely its hard to believe the democrats would go this far. This is about as mainstream a nominee that you can get. They filibuster, well have the votes to invoke whats been called the Nuclear Option and get back to the senates practice of requiring 51 vote for confirmation. Lou there seems to be a reticence to go to the Nuclear Option with its a simple majority vote . They dont like that outcome because they want a bunch of justices who will rubber stamp their agenda on their issues like gun control and Campaign Finance reform. But thats been the 10year tradition of the senate, majority up or down votes. There has never been a successful filibuster. Lou schumer seems insistent on doing this. I dont see anyone loses but him and the Democratic Party. I agree, having a 5vote standard makes the nomination to the court easier, and i think its what the constitution contemplates anyway. Lou given the likelihood President Trump will be able to nominate two to three others beyond gorsuch, it would seem to be Mitch Mcconnell seems to express more reservation than enthusiasm for the simple majority. Is there some reason i am blind to or completely missing . Some republican senators worried about where this could go. And they are nervous about getting rid of the legislative filibuster. But at the end of the day there is no relationship between the two. So i think those process concerns arent that well founded. At the end of the day i think republicans will vote as a united block to restore the senates conditions and bring it back with where it was when Justice Scalia was on it with contextualism and originalism. Lou you think senator mcconnell will have to go nuclear as its been called . Thats the option the democrats have left leader mcconnell with. Its surprising. They know what the stakes are. The only explanation is their base so angry over the election, so angry over merrick garland, so bent on having a court that stamps their agenda, its the only option available to them. Lou think how angry they will be when President Trump appoint three more justices. Up next, critic calling for the f. B. I.

Lou joining me now, nick adams columnist with town hall. Com and rachel camposduffy. Lets tart with the allegations against susan rice. This scandal looks like it will be historic. The Obama Administration accused of spying on the candidate opposing the president s party from july on. And into the transition. Its an incredible story. It will be interting to see how long the media will take before it becomes the big story it should be. We talked during the break, this is serious stuff, you can bet your dollar had this been reversed, the democrats, the media would be shouting lock her up. Lou you know whats interesting . People say, think about this if the roles were reversed. Republicans and conservatives are like abused children of some kind. We have to put everything inverted. When cant just say its wrong, the law, the constitution, the contemplation of the founders in the way or leaders would act. There are always two standard, one for republicans and one for democrats and they are seeing it live again and again and again. Isnt it incredible. Every time we are told donald trump doesnt know what hes talk about hes wrong and hes crazy and hes insane. It turns out donald trump was right yet again. When are these people ever going to learn their lesson. Lou nick just used another expression i love. Donald trump right again. He said you will get tired of winning . No way. Thats the only place he could have been wrong. Rachel where is the aclu, all the people who would have been screaming if this were reversed. You cannot deny the closeness of rice to president obama. This is a quote from newsweek, his righthand gal. There is a very close relationship here. It goes directly to the president. Lou hes been the reliable tool every time there is a political quandary or challenge to the president , whether its benghazi or spying. You have to wonder. Was obama trying to do as the democrats did with Bernie Sanders, eliminate the candidate they didnt want in there in support of the candidate they did, i. E. , Hillary Clinton . This is susan rice, who was so close to president obama. This is not some National Security advisor. This was susan rice. We are seeing what we have always known. These guys are morally impoverished and intellectually bankrupt. The democrats are falling apart, and i have to tell you, i love it. Rachel she has no credibility. Not on did she lie about this crazy video during benghazi. But she was asked on national tv about this and she lived about it. She has zero credibility. She has close ties to the white house. This is very damaging. Lou i think rachel said there is no video to incite the benghazi attacks. Im not going to touch that one, its up to you. Lou thank you for leaving me adrift as usual. Nick adams, well invite you back anyway. Rachel camposduffy, well invite you back, too. I know you both have been overwhelmed, but we are delighted you are with us and look forward to seeing you again soon. Lou congressman mo brooks and Laura Ingraham will be with us tomorrow.
