Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20240714

Fitton, john solomon among our guests. Sending concern throughout silicon valley. We talk the up the late from wall street opportunity to with moodys chief economist, john lonski. And china and mexico desperate now to talk trade with the Trump Administration after the president has made it clear he will demand fair, reciprocal, responsible trading relationships with both countries. China trying to take shots at the president s America First agenda, yet saying they are willing to negotiate with the Trump Administration. Now isnt that nice of them . Mexican officials are already in washington to talk about the president s proposed tariffs on mexican goods so long as they dont fight illegal immigration and secure their half of the u. S. mexico border. The president not holding back about the years of mexican abuses of the American Immigration system. They have to stop the illegal flow, the flow of drugs, illegal immigrants, people that have not gone through the process. And if the democrats would wise up and give us the proper laws, the proper immigration laws, we could solve the problem in one day. What mexicos been doing to this country for so many years, like 2530 years worth of drugs and Human Trafficking and illegals all pouring through mexico, no good. And caravans. No good. Lou those among the last to the last comments from the president before heading to london. We talk about the latest in the president s ballots over socalled battles over socalled free trade that has cost this billions of dollars and millions of jobs and the deadly drug trade across our border with mexico. We begin tonight with the president s visit to the United Kingdom, there to establish a deeper trust with a longtime ally. At home his Communications Department playing some rather peculiar games. Well tell you about that. A number of Administration Officials appeared on Major Networks today including ben carson, sonny perdue, kevin hassett. We had booked White House National trade Council President Peter Navarro here on the sew, but the on the show, but the white house tells us they did not want to detract from the president s visit to Buckingham Palace tonight, so they actually retracted navarro from our guest list. And as the white house denies guests, it also allows the national leftwing media to focus on stories like the president s hair, the fake news that he a called Meghan Markle nasty without response from the white house. Those stories dominating the headlines overshadowing Judicial Watchs discovery of new emails between peter strzok and lisa page. Those emails showing a special treat for Hillary Clintons attorney during the fbi investigation of clintons email server scandal. A lot to go through tonight, and joining us to click them all off, Judicial Watch president tom fitton. Tom, great to have you here. Another revelation courtesy of Judicial Watch and the freedom of information system. Tell us what this means, that her attorney was given special access, special treatment without question by the fbi. Yeah. Her attorney, david kendall, who represents her personally, was according to the new emails that were covered by a lawsuit, they werent voluntarily disclosed by the Justice Department, these are pagestrzok emails the top lawyer for the fbi is talking about how to get records from Hillary Clinton about the email investigation, and he adviseds kendall advises kendall file a foia request. This isnt like youre dealing with Hillary Clinton, her 302 which is the narrative report created by the fbi of that sham interview she underwent. And sure enough, the email showed a top lawyer at the fb, rush this through the process in order to get the 302 before the election. Lou to get the 302 the before the election, and how irregular is this . Put this in some context for us. Well, ive been at Judicial Watch 21 years, weve never talked to general counsel of the fbi about any foia requests, nor have we ever received any such solicitation or help or facilitation for any freedom of information act request. This is extraordinary, special treatment for a president ial candidate, someone that could have been president [audio difficulty] lou where is the Inspector General report . Its been long promised and now were in june, just for the record, and now prospect whatsoever as far as i can determine that we will see an Inspector General report. Do you have new information for us . I dont. I hope the Inspector General report comes out, but he cant prosecute if anyone. The best he can do is refer questions for prosecution. We dont know whats going to happen there. Weve learned from attorney general barr that the special counsel appointed by Jeff Sessions hasnt done much of anything at all and has deferred to independent or the Inspector General. Lou john huber, is that right . Yeah. John huber, the u. S. Attorney out in utah. Hes been awol on all these issues lou can you explain that . Do you have any idea what hes been doing all this time . Is. Well, he was hired specifically by Jeff Sessions because there was pressure for a special counsel. Huber was the answer to that, and he was tasked with investigating whether to investigate. Its no surprise to me as a result nothing much has been done. Lou you its a trite expression, is so i wont use it, but i have to say its just stunning to see what the top officials of the Justice Department and the fbi have gotten away with. They have successfully, i believe, run out the clock. I will be absolutely stunned, tom, if indeed we see any kind of productive investigation of some of the people who are, just based on the information that we see in the texts, a all of them, it looks as if theyre all going including the people who have already been dismissed, looks like theyre all going to go free without account. Well, attorney general barr needs to accelerate any investigations that are going on and move as quickly as possible. Its pretty clear he understands the corruption but needs to move the agency ahead lou but the process becomes corruption itself, does it not, tom, when it takes years . Im still waiting on the report on benghazi, for crying out lord. One thing weve learned from the Justice Department over the years under the Obama Administration is that the fbi and the Justice Department are where investigatory efforts go to kill truth. We have learned precious little as a result of their socalled investigatory powers and prowess. Well, you know, its not remarkable, but its remarkable and not to tout our own horn, but Judicial Watchs work is the only way to get this information out right now. Congress is asleep at the switch or trying to suppress information by targeting attorney general barr with a fraudulent contempt move, and without Judicial Watch, this material wouldnt be released. Its great for Judicial Watch, but distressing lou yeah. It makes me mad as hell that we have to rely, frankly, on Judicial Watch instead of our own elected officials and appointed officials of the federal government. By the way, speaking of outrages, our Supreme Court is an outrage, can can denying n expedited hearing on the daca order of president obama and just for what reason . Why . Only millions of people are hanging in the balance here. The entire american population, apparently, doesnt have any rights as citizens to understand what is going on with an executive order from a Previous Administration for whom it is i mean, it just goes on and on. This is maddening. This is an Obama Amnesty granted to children of illegal aliens, and its an incentive for the current crisis, and the courts have gotten in the way of the president s prerogatives to undo this illegal act by president obama and that the Supreme Court refuses to rein in its lower courts is really shows that, again, the justice i mean, the courts have been part of the swamp in this country for too long, and the antitrump judiciary is a major factor in causing the Immigration Crisis thats now threatening our nation. Lou the Supreme Court itself is now becoming i mean, its obviously part of the problem now. Because its hearing how many cases a year, maybe 100 out of the thousands and thousands in the federal system . It takes years and years to hear a federal case, a civil case it takes years and years to watch a criminal case. This is an archaic an an act nhl, and it is anachronism and it is a pathetic disservice to American People and our ideas our once ideals of american justice. Tom fitton and Judicial Watch doing their best to make sure that that does not continue. We appreciate it, tom, as always. Youre welcome. Lou still ahead, john solomon joins us next with his latest report detailing the extent to which Hillary Clinton went to undermine the trump presidency. Also a sign of how radical the Democratic Party really is. One of the worst years for democrats in a quarter century. Lou you know, when you tell some audiences that you not a socialist or that socialism is a really bad idea, thats the result. Well be telling why theyre booing so many of those 2020 candidates well, at least one or two right after these quick messages. Stay with us. Sir, youre a broker. What do you charge for online equity trades . Uh, ill look into it. phone rings lisa jones lisa on phone hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades . nervous chuckle lisa and do i get my fees back if im not happy .

Lou leading dem radical and radical dem House Majority whip James Clyburn says he and the rest of his delusion alsocalled party delusional socalled party have already begun the process of impeachment. You think that the president will be impeached or at least proceedings will begin in the house at some point but just not right now. Yes, thats exactly what i feel. I think weve already begun it. [laughter] lou that is one of the dog goneddest questions ive ever heard, do you think the possibility that it could happen at a point sometime future, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, clyburn telling fox tonight he hasnt heard from nancy pelosi about his comments. Apparently, he will. Thats the implication there, isnt it . And the radical dems disarray on full display over the weekend, particularly in california. Just listen to what happened to former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and former maryland congressman john delaney after they warned about socialism. If we want to beat donald trump and achieve big, progressive goals, socialism is not the answer. I was reelected [inaudible conversations] medicare for all may sound good, but its actually not good policy, nor is it good politics. [inaudible conversations] im telling ya, im telling ya [inaudible] lou he keeps telling them a few more times, and theyd still be telling him. That was a pretty em fat ific boo fest right there emphatic boo fest right there. Joining us now, ed rollins, New York Post columnist michael goodwin. Good to have you both here. Theres a lesson there, michael, those democrats had better get on the socialism train, dont you think . I guess that was at the California State Party convention. Lou you would have expected something a little liberal. It is bizarre, because if they really go down this road, i just dont see well, i mean, guys like that, hickenlooper and the other lou the country is going to be poor yeah, trying to stop the train, but theyre ignoring all the, you know, yellow flags and just racing right to doom, it seems to me. Lou well, its what do you make of it, ed . One of the hot shot governors, the governor of colorado. Lou hickenlooper is a hot shot governor . Among democrats. [laughter] he stood up there in the kind of audience [inaudible] screaming leftwingers in the world. Basically said socialism isnt the answer, and they booed him for two minutes. I mean, for two minutes lou make a point. [laughter] and so thats where they are, you know, this is a state, obviously lou what does it say for their candidacies, these two gentlemen, that they couldnt even read that audience well enough to know that youre not going to mess with socialism in 2019 . Well, better get back on the ballot in maryland, because hes not going anywhere, congressman delaney. They booed him longer x. The governor, obviously, he may get reelected. Im not sure. The bottom line is theres too many candidates that arent going anywhere, and part of the problem is they have 23 candidates and used to be that you had to have some substance, youd move up, enhance yourself. Half these people couldnt move up the next step, let alone run for president. Lou well, what do you make of James Clyburn talking about impeachment . Hes pretty emphatic about the possibility of the ambiguity of the prospect about possibly doing something about impeachment. I mean, i love that jake tapper question. Thats a beauty. Interesting, in that sequence of its a fox news story today, they have clyburn saying that, that we have to educate the public. And then jerry nadler who runs judiciary says we also, people dont know the facts, people dont understand yet with. So you put these two together lou nadler actually said we want to impeach, but the publics not ready. They dont understand the facts. Well, apparently, neither does the conference. Lou what are the latest numbers . Were up to, what, 50something, democrats who are ready to 54 House Democrats in the new york times, 58 say they wont support it. Lou but the idea that the public is too by the way, i dont know that we should call the house calls for impeachment and put only 58 members are calling for impeachment. Thats whats this is a joke, whats going on in the democrat party. What theyre basically saying, theyre waffling, theyre saying we need to educate the public, we need to do this, and if it leads to impeachment lou lets be honest, they havent got the guts. My point is the arrogance saying that if only the public knew what we know, and if they understood the truth, they would vote for impeachment. Lou we call that the schiff conundrum. The evidence of which, the proof of which he could not produce on a Million Dollar bet. Im waiting for the first charge to be put forward that says the president did something illegal. Lou well, al green will oblige you, but thats not going to amount to much. Theres no there there. Its going to be a tough vote for a lot of people to take when it comes to lou you know whats going to be really tough is to explain to American People, the folks in california notwithstanding who were booing hickenlooper and the maryland congressman, its going to be tough to explain why theyve been in power all this time, in 2020 running the congress and the United States, and havent done diddley. Nothing. By the way, thats a very good texas word, diddley. [laughter] if anybody wants to write it down. Squat. Lou thats more of a west coast word. But a very hip west coast word in its time. [laughter] so lets turn to really where we are with the republicans. Speaking of not doing much, whats the senate been doing as we are watching, you know, whats his name, pencil neck as the president refers to him, schiff. What is he doing . Hes just running off at the mouth and still is in charge of the intel committee. Well, its astonishing to me, and the truth of the matter is, you know, theyre not pushing the judges through anymore. Theres a lot of confirmation hearings that should be held. They say theyre stopping all the stuff thats coming from the house. I dont know whats coming from the house, its all garbage. At this point, they could all go home and wait until november 2020, the American Public wouldnt miss them. Except for the judges lou very quick. They did confirm bill barrs number two in the Justice Department last week, e believe. Lou that was very good. [laughter] i, look lou youre telling me what a powerhouse of performance they are. Its all they can do, theyre doing what they can. Lou lets speak about a true powerhouse, and that is the president s position on tariffs on mexico and poor Lopez Obrador saying America First is a fallacy. And this week hes decided maybe he could use those, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars that come from norte. A spotlight goes on and all the jobs mexico got making american cars, they cannot win that battle. The president s clearly won this battle lou well, we better start by the way, Lopez Obrador, the populist president , socalled, mexico. Hes now decided that he can just tell the president what hes done so far to help him with illegal immigration. He doesnt really have to do anything. He actually said that, michael. Absolutely he misses the point. Somehow, the migrants have not gotten the memo. Lou just think what theyd be doing if the mexican please dont help any more. [laughter] lou ed rollins, michael goodwin, thank you, gentlemen. The number of people taking the oath of u. S. Citizenship has reached a fiveyear high despite howls from the radical dems and their associates in the leftwing national media, President Trumps immigration policies are producing more naturalized citizens than at any time before. Swearing in almost 757,000 people as new citizens in 2018. The trajectory is higher. Of. Up next, just how far the clinton machine went to disrupt the trump presidency, perhaps overthrow the government. Dont move. Lou dont move. What made this man jump up off the ground .

Lou department of Homeland Security acting secretary Kevin Mcaleenan reported by met with cnn anchor jake tapper in an off the record meeting in late may. According to one report, an Administration Official said that mcaleenan is, quote, more concerned with ingratiating himself with oh never other nevertrumpers. Mcaleenan appeared this weekend on cnns state of the union. A brand new report from the hills john solomon detailing the Clinton Campaigns abuse of the Intelligence Community in an effort to stop President Trump from being elected to white house. Well, in that article solomon says clinton gained dozens of political ious who donated to clinton foundation. Its now time for the American Public to call. In their own ious on political transparency and to get some answers to ten questions that he asks in his newest article on the hill. Awardwinning investigate9ive journalist john solomon with us tonight. Great to have you here. Thanks, lou. Lou this is one of the most frustrating questions, i think, in of us face and you are in the lead journalistically in this story of spygate. Its why, why is Hillary Clinton to this very day untouchable . It is remarkable. Its been 18 months since we learned that the Clinton Campaign and the dnc funded the steele dossier, so we now learn that the fbi investigate, the key evidence was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, and yet not a single reporter has asked a question at any venue where mrs. Clinton has appeared in the last 18 months, and her campaign has not responded in 18 months to a Senate Judiciary committees request for documents and answers. And the questions are what did she know and when did she know it . Her campaign, her apparatus, Christopher Steele launched an fbi investigate, her campaign flooded the fbi with bad intel, and no ones ever asked her the questions. Lou and i think the essence of in the outrage is contained in one paragraph, certainly, and if i may share this with the audience. Never before in history until 2016, if we could put that up, had the apparatus of u. S. President ial candidate managed to sic the full weight of the fbi and u. S. Intelligence committee on his or her rival nominee during an election and by using a foreign fed uncorroborated, to be kind, Political Opposition Research document. I mean, that is the essence of the political outrage and what we still dont know much about. This was a giant political dirty trick, and the fbi and cia and other intelligence apparatus were used to carry it out. We now know two and a half years later there was no collusion, but someone created the illusion of collusion for two years, the fbi in the lead and mrs. Clintons Political Opposition Research team in the rear feeding it. Its absolutely remarkable that she hasnt been asked any questions. So i posited ten questions and, hopefully, the public will start to focus on what we need to get her to answer. Lou and i want to turn to your column on may 29th, because the president is in london. Sure. Lou and the question is always, you know, its fundamental, but its even more proximate right now with the president there. And the headline is did the brits warn about steeles credibility before muellers probe. Your thoughts. Yeah. So we are now, weve interviewed several witnesses and several members of congress who have gained information just in the last few weeks that the British National security adviser rode the incoming Trump Administration in 2017, long before mueller was reported, even before the second fisa was issued, the buritz were warning them the brits were warning them that Christopher Steele was lacking in reliability, that his allegations werent corroborated. Everybodys looking for this letter, its been lost or missed, but theres misplaced, but it would be an extraordinary document and raise a lot of questions. If they warned the Trump Administration as they were coming in, they almost certainly would have warned the Obama Administration before the fisas were sought. Its a remarkable time, and i think President Trump has the opportunity while in britain with theresa may to, perhaps, get some answers about what the brits know now. Lou do we know to which of our chambers on capitol hill the letter was sent, to whom . Yes. So the letter was sent from sir mark lyle grant to mike flynn, the incoming National Security adviser to donald trump. And thats a remarkable in and of itself, flynn says to his lawyers he doesnt remember that letter, but he was questioned about it by bob mueller during the briefing that occurred, so even bob muellers team knew the letter existed. What were trying to do is locate that letter now, and several members in the congress in the house and the senate are in search of that letter tonight. Lou that letter, and mike flynn remembered it, could have changed history, could it not . It really could have. Imagine if we learned in january 2017 that Christopher Steeles reliability, credibility wassing being questioned not only within the fbi as we now know, but by the government for whom he formerly worked, the british government. Remember, hes a former mi6 agent. It would almost certainly change the course of history if it had become public at the time. Lou john solomon, thank you so much. Up next, new signs Chinas Huawei is under unrelenting pressure from the president s blacklist. Le and it really shows. With all that usaa offers why go with anybody else .

Huawei marine recently upgraded 90 undersea fiber optic cables that accounts for almost a fourth of all underwater cables in all the world. Well, joining me now, dr. Michael pillsbury, director of the center for chinese strategy at the hudson institute. Author, trade advisor to the Trump Administration. Michael, great to have you here. First, the implications, if we may, of chinese dominance and control of undersea cables. Well, so much information close to those cables, 90 , far more than satellites. It allows chinese espionage and eavesdropping, just the chance of a lifetime. I think this is all part of the Longterm Technology war thats going on. I dont think this divest cure, if you want to call it that, the sale by huawei, is going to work. The company they want to sell it to, lou, as you know, is affiliated with the chinese navy. Its just a shift from the chinese army to chinese navy. It does show how important dominating these fiber optic cables is to chinese espionage. Lou it also shows just how raw the chinese have become in expressing their contempt for the intelligence and the powerlessness of western nations who would oppose their tom nance whether it dominance whether it be in satellite or undersea cables, whether it would be in 5g technology, you name it. Theyre coming right at the United States, at europe, all of the developed nations of the west. I agree, especially europe. Secretary of state mike pompeo was pretty tough in berlin on friday about the access to information they will lose if they go ahead with huawei. I think we can expect something out of tomorrows meeting with President Trump and thiess is saw may and theresa may. The british still think they can not sell the core to huawei, but just peripheral parts. I think thats not correct. I think the president is right. Lou yeah, its stunning that the british have themselves so twisted in conflicting knots here [laughter] and it should be a straightforward proposition, a matter of National Security, a matter of preserving, as the president and the queen toasted, with one of the worlds most enduring, special relationships between the u. K. And the United States. It seems to be going sideways now. I think it began last month when the italians signed up for the belt and road initiative. That was the First Chinese success. But what europe does tonight and tomorrow about the june 4th tiananmen massacre of 30 years ago will also be important. There are going to be meetings here in washington, demonstrations in hong kong. We cant let this 30year anniversary go by. In the past european human rights activists have done something about tiananmen anniversary, so well see tomorrow what they will do. Lou i will offer one opinion on that. When the United States decouple human rights and its commercial trade interest, it was a tragic mistake for this country yes. Lou and for, indeed, our allieses as well. Michael pistolling bury pillsbury, as always, great to have you with us. Thank you so much. Thank, lou. Lou President Trump in the u. K. Tonight, reaffirming the special relationship between the United States and britain. Erred ward lawrence in london tonight and has the story. Well, or lou, the queen hosts about two state visit per year, only three u. S. President s hold this distinction with queen elizabeth, thats president bush in 2003, president obama in 2011 and now President Trump. The queen tonight toasted to United States, listen. While the world has changed, we are ever mindful of the original purpose of these structures, nations working together to safeguard a hardwon peace. Reporter for the white house, this is a chance to show the United Kingdom that the u. S. Will stand with them through brexit. In fact, u. S. Is negotiating with the u. K. For a trade deal. The white house hopes to announce that deal in the days after brexit. Now, the president during his toast referenced how the queen of england helped during world war ii as a mechanic, helping some vehicles as the war was coming to an end. Shes saying that the two countries have enduring bonds. On behalf of all americans, i offer a toast to eternal friendship of our people, the vitality of our nations and to longcherished and truly remarkable reign of her majesty, the queen. Reporter and tomorrow the president will be meeting with some Business Leaders in a round table with british Prime Minister theresa may if, then the two leaders will have a joint news conference. The Prime Minister will talk the president about climate change. The white house says that the president wants to talk about trade and the possible security risks that huawei could be. We havent seen any large protests here in the United Kingdom today; however, there are larger protests scheduled for tomorrow. Well have to see what happens. Lou, back to you. Lou ed, thank you very much. Of course, that hasnt stopped the national leftwing media in this country from talking about all about protests, a day of pomp and protests, declared one headline. Ed lawrence from london, thanks so much. Body camera video capturing a tennessee sheriffs deputy saving two people from a rattlesnake. Hey, dont move. Theres a rattlesnake right next to you. Dont move. Okay. Roll toward me. Roll toward me. Come here, dont run away. Come here, dont run away. Run toward me. Thats a rattlesnake. Lou this is in columbia, tennessee, south of nashville. The deputy had been called to scene about the couple laying in a dirt road. Neither the snake, nor the couple were injured. We do not have any idea what the couple were doing in the middle of the road, we do know what the rattlesnake was doing, of course. Didnt do much harm after all. Up next, the federal government threatening big tech with, well, with maybe a big breakup. Well have that and much more right after this break. Well be right back. And. Thats your basic threepoint turn. [ scoffs ] if you say so. Im sorry . What teach here isnt telling you is that snapshot rewards safe drivers with discounts on Car Insurance. What . Or maybe he didnt know. [ chuckles ] im done with this class. Youre not even enrolled in this class. I know. Im supposed to be in ceramics. Do you know room 303. Oh. Thank you. Yeah. Good luck, everybody. Lou joining us tonight, john lonski, chief economist, managing director at moodys, and weve got a lot to sort through. Lets start with over a 100point flag in the nasdaq. Big tech looks to be in big trouble because they have been too big, too powerful and acting anticompetitively particularly in the minds of the trump Justice Department. What is going on, and what do you expect to happen from here . That creates a lot of uncertainty, doesnt it, for what big techs going to be able to do in the future, the tech titans. I think it may adversely affect Technology Overall in a way. A lot of these startups, money pours in on the expectation that the startup eventually gets sold to one of the tech titans, and thats how you reap the big gains. I dont think the weakness in this areas over. If we take out big tech today, i think the overall market did pretty good. Lou all right. All indexes relatively mod ifest, i think you would modest, i think you would agree whether it is the s p or whether its the dow. So weve got a lot certainly not as bad as the nasdaq, not anywhere near as. But its clearly a signal that silicon valleys got real, real trouble on its hands. The game is changing thanks to washington. The regulators taking a closer look at the possibility of anticompetitive behavior. Lou you know whats funny . The House Judiciary Committee tonight has launched its own antitrust investigation trying to piggyback on the backs of donald trump. The man they spend all of their time harassing and annoying.
