Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20170906

Republicans dane to take up the work. President announced deal shortly after meeting with leaders from both political parties. We had a very good meeting. We essentially came to a deal. I think the deal will be very good. Very good and cordial professional meeting. We have an inextension that will go out to december 15th. That will include the debt ceiling, it will include the crs and it will include harvey, the amount of money to be determined. Because everyone is in favor obviously taking care of that situation. We all very much agree. Lou this rare bipartisan deal reportedly caught the rino leadership completely offguard, particularly Speaker Paul Ryan, who just hours before had slammed the proposal, ridiculous and disgraceful. His words. Ryan never explained why. Another unprecedented hurricane hitting florida. They want to play politics with the debt ceiling . That is ridiculous and disgraceful they want to play politics with the debt ceiling at this moment, when we have fellow citizens in need to respond to these hurricanes, so we do not strand them. Lou did you follow his reasoning there . The hurricanes and therefore you cant make legislative deals. Well, while it was obviously not the deal that rino leaders wanted, house conservatives were in complete agreement and Senate Leader Mitch Mcconnell said he would support the president s historic compromise deal as well. After sealing a compromise on the debt ceiling and Harvey Relief he went to north dakota and with a focus on americas middle class. We need tax reform, that is progrowth, projobs, proworker, profamily, and yes, proamerican. Anybody going to vote against stacks cuts and tax reform, whether north dakota or anybody else, or any place else. Vote against them, get them out of office, because it is so bad. [applause] lou the president appearing today before the endeavor refinery in north dakota. It is the fourth largest refinery in the country and north dakota is now, by the way, the second largest u. S. Oil producer have you off the great state of texas. United states importing 34 of oil from opec. The United States the leading exporter of Refined Petroleum products. Joining me now to discuss how the president is taking control of the legislative agenda, following the failed efforts of the Republican Leadership in congress, ed rollins, served in three president ial administrations, was the chief political advisor to the house Republican Leadership, the dean himself. And Pulitizer Prize winning columnist for the new york post, michael goodwin, both fox news contributors, great americans and good friends. Good to have you here. Thank you. Lou this deal, unprecedented, we havent seen anything like this in almost 20 years. Whats going on . Certainly the republican votes werent there for the president. He basically went with the democrats after spending 50 years around american politics. Easy when the democrats are happy and republicans are not happy, the deal leads to their benefit. Well see. What we did, we kicked the can down the road. We have three months of debt ceiling. We basically have the first down payment on the hurricane relief. Lou right. In series of down payments. 8 billion, it could be 80 or 100 billion before it is said. The critical thing, the president basically at the end of the day getting what he wants and i dont see him getting anything at this point in time. My fear the democrats say, you want to negotiate with us, lets negotiate some more. It may make republicans decide they better get their own house in order. Lou when you say youre not sure that the president has gotten what he wanted three month debt ceiling is not a big deal. Lou it may not be a big deal but there have been years in which we would have given anything to get that deal. And he obviously wasnt going to get it from speaker ryan. So this not a clever move on his part. His treasury secretary didnt think so. Well see. January 1st, if government not shut down at christmastime, he will have benefit. One of these things we have to wait and see. This is the first step and it is obviously well see what schumer and pelosi will do from here on out. What our own side will do. Lou ed does not trust schumer and pelosi. I dont at all. I have too much experience with them. They like it, i dont like it. Deal with that premise. Lou what do you think, mike . Well, look, i think the message to the republicans is incredibly loud and clear which is that you guys have had your chance. You have done nothing. You have produced nothing now for eight months and im going to get things done, whether you, whether, it is what you want or not. I think this is a, this has got to be a wakeup call to the Republican Base to get Members Congress in line because otherwise the idea of a governing republican majority has essentially been neutered because they cant get anything done but the president needs to get things done. Lou importantly, ed, i cant wait to hear your answer to this, importantly, i think the reason nothing has been done, even though republicans control the house, the senate and the white house, is because of two rinos. One of them, paul ryan and the other Mitch Mcconnell. They represent only k street, the chamber of commerce, the Business Roundtable and big donors that is theyre not representing republicans or their constituents. If we didnt just have a revolution, trump being the revolution we would have another big revolution in 2018. Many members of congress would be thrown out. Lou we may have the revolution. Im not arguing for or against it. Ill trying to be analyst at this point in time i think i try to do. Lou you said dobbs shut up. No. I didnt. When youre off for three weeks i had opportunity to talk a lot, to give my opinion. I got into bad habits when you were gone. You spoiled me. Lou lesson learned. I think i have said on this show, we dont have enough republicans. We have to get more republicans. Republicans there cant be as pure as they always want to be. If you want to be majority, vote for what the president wants. To that point, i thought it was interesting going to north dakota today. That seemed to be a trip designed only to get Heidi Heitkamps vote. She went along with the president. She flew on air force one. She is there. He singles her out, the democratic senator from the state of north dakota. This was very much about him trying to round up votes wherever he can get them for whatever he can get them for. I think something has changed i think in trumps approach. I do think it is more than a warning shot probably to republicans. He intend to do this unless they give him a better offer. Lou there is another element at work here, the death of the rino. Ryan and mcconnell, rinos both and the other rinos in the senate and house they have been marginalized. If they are pretend republicans might as well deal with democrats. That is what the president chosen to do. There is no question i would not sleep well if i was speaker ryan. Takes somebody to beat somebody. There is certainly other people in the congress who can lead Congress Every bit as effectively as he can, right today nobody steps for the to challenge him. That may happen in the near future. Next to or 40 days critical to this party, this presidency, this country. I agree with the timing. Were in september. A whole new short reason. Your point about ryan coming out against the deal, just moments before trump accepts it. That is real humiliation moment for ryan. I agree with ed. He shouldnt be sleeping well now. Lou thank you very much, michael. Ed, thank you. Thank you. Lou quiet enough finally . It is your show, lou. We missed you. Work in progress. Lou ed rollins was saying i can do a little better. I promised i will. Hurricane irma roaring into the caribbean, 185 mileanhour wind, the most powerful storm in the atlantic.

Today, were out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. You have type 2 diabetes, right . Yes. So let me ask you this. How does diabetes affect your heart . It doesnt, does it . Actually, it does. Type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. And with Heart Disease, your risk is even higher. You didnt know that. No. Yeah. But, wait, theres good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease. Jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. Jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease and lower your a1c. Jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. This may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. Ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. Do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. Other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. So now that you know all that, what do you think . That its time to think about jardiance. Ask your doctor about jardiance. And get to the heart of what matters.

Lou facebook admitting it sold political ads to the russians, to a shadowy russian company, that as apparently looking to target american voters, yes, our american president ial election. The ad space which totaled 100,000 was sold by, well, facebook to a russian firm. With a history of pushing prokremlin grand today. Propraganda. According to Washington Post reporting, the revelation, if you want to examine media, leftwing national bias, here it is, the revelation according to the reporting of the Washington Post, likely to fuel pointed questions from investigators about where the russians received guidance from people in the United States, end quote. Now that is not only a stretch on the part of the post and its, well, if you want to call that reasoning. It is a cat at that full of assumptions. And it really leaves open the question, did the Washington Post dismiss the idea that maybe Mark Zuckerberg was leading russian effort during the election of last year . Well have to examine that here carefully. And the wife of former tech staffer for congresswoman Debbie Wasserman schultz and other House Democrats has struck a deal with federal investigators and prosecutors. Imram iwans wife, will return from the United States from pakistan where she is right now, to face charges of bank fraud and conspiracy. She fled the country while her husband and she were under federal investigation, and now, a very complicated web is being woven. A busy day today on capitol hill. Joining me now to talk about that, republican congressman trent franks of arizona, member of the Armed Services and judiciary committees. Congressman, great to have you with us. Always love being on. Let me turn first of all, what do you make of the deal with Debbie Wasserman schultzs i. T. Advisors wife now . Ready to deal . Well, lou, i dont want to talk out of school here but i think youre going to see some revelations that will be pretty profound. The fact that this wife is coming back from pakistan and is willing to face charges as it were, i think there is a good chance that she is going to receive some type of immunity to tell a larger story here, that will be pretty disturbing to the American People. It is always, ironic to me, when you see these kinds of things happen, where you have someone that has nefarious or certainly not the best interests of america, within the i. T. System of the United States congress, and theyre on, they are being paid by a member of congress, it is really pretty, pretty frightening. Lou former head of the Democratic National committee, we might point out who was forced out in disgrace. Yeah. Im always amazed how the democrats can talk about russia so much. They couldnt find russia on a map 20 years ago and they didnt see them, see the soviets as even much of a threat to the world when they were our primary peer enemy. All of sudden they see something they might try to discredit this president with, all of sudden they find their tongue and find russia. Lou interesting how long it has taken to bring to ground for two people, who were, their conduct appears every bit criminal, and every bit even treasonous, certainly, complicity of an elected member of Congress Makes it all the more troubling an, and fascinating to follow which we will be doing. Im sure that the media will have a perfectly reasonable answer for everything that happened but the truth is i think, i will just predict that this is going to be a very significant story, and people should fasten their seatbelts on this one. Lou were buckled you, congressman. Yes, sir. Lou watching what happens in washington, d. C. , has us tightening those belts as well. The president putting together unprecedented deal with the democratic leadership, just dismissing the rino leadership of your party in the house as well as the senate. Well i think the president just came back from texas, and i think he saw all the tragedy and the carnage that happened there and he was determined we would get this package through to help texas. He didnt want anything to interfere with that. So he made this deal gave him a sure way forward on that. And i think obviously that texas will recognize the commitment of the president in that regard. He didnt want anything to interfere wit. Now, having said that, going forward, the only reason the president has to do Something Like this, of course the 60vote rule in the senate, gives democrats so much leverage, that almost have to do something pretty dramatic in order to get anything to the floor. I think well probably have some great challenges in the months ahead on the debt limit and also on the entire appropriations package. And i will predict well have real challenges there. And i hope, i hope that people understand that the challenge of this 60vote rule because republicans even in leadership, have almost gotten stocks home syndrome on this thing stockholm, they dont recognize all the challenges it creates in the senate. Lou congressman, the American People clearly understand the math here, when you have a 52senator presence out of 100, and you can move all the legislation you want with 51 votes, rather than 60, which is what Mitch Mcconnell is clinging to, that we need to either change the rule or change Mitch Mcconnell and move him out of leadership. We have to do something different. The democrats have already made it very clear they will change the rule when they get in power. The question is not whether the rule will change. The question will the American People get a glimpse of republican policy before that happens . Lou congressman, always good to talk with you. Thank you, lou, you too, sir. Lou thank you very much. Trent franks, congressman from arizona. A great american. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight.

Im talking about Speaker Paul Ryan and his deference to corporate lobbyists, his unbridled hostility towards dodge. The president took rino ryan to the woodshed and eliminated the need for any republican to pretend ryan is a republican in any way. The president booted the hapless fool of the speaker out of the way of those trying to get the nations Business Done. Here is ryan talking about tying harvey funding to an increase in the debt ceiling. What the leaders proposed is unworkable. I think thats ridiculous and disgraceful. If they want to play politics with the debt ceiling thats a ridiculous idea. I hope they dont mean that. Lou they did mean that because within hours the president reached a deal with the democrats to funds the government until december while finding funds for harvey relieve and tax reform while he was at it. Rienls insults, object city nance and subversion of President Trump to the behavior of democratic leadership much late. They calmed themselves, they have been far more conciliatory in their rhetoric and ryan is fully exposed to the nation. His congress accomplishes next to nothing this year. Nothing in ryans twoyear tenure as a speaker has been done. All who will recognize what else before their eyes that ryan is nothing but an immense obstacle to getting the peoples Business Done and its time to follow the president s leadership and implement fully his agenda. Rinos are wrong for our time. They are in the wrong party. Not even the massive amounts of corporate lobbying money can buy rinos a political future. Mark my words. Rinos are over. Our quotation for the evening from thomas jefferson. These words live as brightly today as they did when they were written 200 years ago. When the representative body have lost the con if i defns their constituents and notoriously made sale of their most of valuable rights. When they aassumed to themselves powers to which the people they ever put in their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous. My friends, as long as we permit the elites and the establishment to keep mcconnell and ryan in place as their tools, times will remain perilous. The Trump Administration putting more pressure on china to constrain north korea and its provocation. The primary sponsors of the north korean deck stay moreship, if they were to pull cheryl support north korea would collapse. Lou this group of thrill seekers found a new formation in which the skydive. Well take you 10,000 feet up and show you the electrifying video. Stay with us. Well be back with the video and much more.

Com lou President Trump look for china to be an ally in eliminating the threat of a nuclear north korea. The president precounted his conversation today with chinese president xi jinping to reporters on Board Air Force one. We had a good conversation with president xi jinping. Hes very much in favor of the denuke of north korea. Lou they deployed additional thaad Missile Defense and launchers. The prospect of china become a real ally in dealing with the threat of a nuclear north korea, paul bonacelli. Great to have you with us. Let me start if i may with the prospect that xi jinping is ready to be a real partner with the president in dealing with this absurd threat on the part of north korea that is the result of chinese support, technology, ballistic miss soil technology, as well as nuclear weaponry. I think we are seeing signs the chinese is starting to understand donald trump is a different kind of president. He didnt come into office as the bushes and clinton and obama did as one who would try to keep a warm relationship and keep the trading relationship going. Hes been different from that as you know. So its taken the chinese for a while. But when she see what hes doing fan when they hear this words and hear general mattis and hear nikki haley and when they see whats happening on the ground in north korea. They are getting the picture. There will either be cooperation between the United States and china to solve this problem or there will be a military solution the chinese will regret. Lou chinese researchers themselves identifying if the collapse of the very mountain in which the North Koreans have been testing their Nuclear Weapons Nuclear Explosions that destabilized it. And if they carry out another test. Those chinese researchers say the top of that in the may likely blow off and the resulting radiation clouds emitted will cover much of china itself. We are seeing the satellite images come in. They have to be refined. But they show the damage that its done. Once those mountains crater and chemicals are released, the product of the Nuclear Explosion you do get cancer spreading. Not just in china. They spread around the world. No one knows. Its hard to know where they go. Kim jongun has to keep testing to show hes serious, and the more he does that, the great risk there are. This is another element in causing alarm in china. Lou there is the very real threat by this president that trade will not take place with china. That will tear trillions of dollars out of the economy on effectively destroy their banking. I dont think most of people, even economists who are aware of what the president is proposing, i dont chicago they have taken to heart what this would mean for the chinese. City would be devastating an economic bomb dropped right in their midst. Not only can china not tolerate, cannot absorb no trade with the United States. I dont know how much they can absorb just the threat of it. Thats one of the things i hope the president is making clear, that the threat is very real. He will do it. Its not just a threat. There is a point where that is very destabilizing for china. Xi jinping wants to be the next chairman mao. I hope President Trump is putting the kind of pressure on him so he tries to find a deal. Quietly the chinese like to save face. The president understands that. He is a deal maker, but also have to have the loud sounds of the military buildup on the outside. Lou all that has been done by this president. Three carriers dispatched to the region, all of them armed to the teeth. God knows how many u. S. Subject marines are in the region. The threat is clear, the response is clear. What is not clear is whether china will take responsibility for its irresponsibility in the last 30 years in its management and support of north korea and its nuclear ambitions. Thanks for being with us. Great to have you here. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight. Do you believe President Trumps deal with the democrats on the debt ceiling has rendered ryan and mcconnell irrelevant and its time for them to step aside for the good of the nation. This is a video of four friends who are inseparable at least for a while. The thrill seekers skydiving in a bobsledding formation. Take a look. Here they go. I think that 30 seconds is about up. You will have to take our word for it. They did deploy. What happened to the parachutes . Where was the payoff . Well take your word for it. A leftist their declaring his city a trumpfree zone despite doing little to stop the violence his city. Tony perkins is next. Oh boy. Looking for adventure this labor day . Holy smokes. Oh man, thats pretty intense. Look no further than chevrolet. This is a fast car. I feel like i left my soul back there. Wow. This has power head to the chevy labor day sales event and ride out the summer in a new chevrolet. Current chevy owners can use labor day bonus cash to get a total value of eleven thousand six hundred dollars on this silverado all star. Or, get 0 financing for 72 months on all tahoe and suburban models. Find new roads at the chevy labor day sales event. Lou joining us, the president of the Family Research council, tony perkins. The president grabbed paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell by their necks and said lets get Business Done. The republicans in the senate pushed him in that direction. Had we seen the repeal of obamacare three weeks ago this wouldnt be happening. We would see the president fulfilling the promise that republicans have made for the last 7, 8 years since obamacare passed. Republicans gained the majority of house in 2010 based on the repeal of obamacare. They needed the senate, they didnt get it done. Got the senate majority, couldnt get it done. They needed the white house. They did it and still couldnt get it done. Lou because Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan are rinos, they are not republicans and they are not conservatives. The president is a man of his word. Lou tony, you have spent time with the president. I have and i watched him. Hes something washington is not accustomed to. He keeps his promises. He is following through on his promises and he will get it done however he has to get it done. He says as he did today, im going to do the right thing. Those are word to treasure from anyone, a friend, a family nebraska, a president. And hes done the right thing. How about you . I am even couraged by what i see from this administration. When you say religious liberty, the president has been moving forward on that. Hes dealt with the hhs mandate that affected the religious liberty of businesses. The president is moving as fast as congress will allow him. Its like a ball and chain. Lou there have been more obstacles than partners. Certainly more obstacle than for. Yet its his agenda he was elected to enact. As you talked earlier, you see this around the country where you have even mayors saying this is a trumpfree zone. Mayor rahm emanuel. Lou can you manage that. In your city dozens of lives taken every week. If he spent half the amount of time fighting crime as he has to fight the reform of President Trump maybe his state wouldnt be leaning. Lou the state of illinois is will to implode. Chicago schools are a disaster. The leading number of murder in the country in chicago. Lou unfortunately what chicago is is a leadershipfree zone. Its great to have you here. Are you excited about the prospects still . The future is bright. Lou up next, Hillary Clinton seems to have a different scapegoat each and every day. Scapegoat day. Well take up her blame game with Mollie Hemingway and niger innis. Its easy to think that all Money Managers are pretty much the same.

Lou in our online poll we asked, is there any reason at all to trust ryan and mcconnell to deliver anything and any way for the nation and the American People. 96 of you said no. Joining us tonight, Mollie Hemingway, Senior Editor at the federalist and niger innis. Thank you for being here. This deal today by the president. I think most of people in washington were thunder struck, especially the rino leadership of the Republican Party in the house and senate. They were. This was a deal that was almost ludicrous when the democrats proposed it. But it shows how donald trump is not difficult you will have knowledging his particular way of doing business. Mitch mcconnell failed to deliver on any part of the republican and trump agenda. If they werent helping and even being a drag, donald trump is going to pivot toward working with democrats. He said he makes good deals for the American People. I dont see this as a particularly good deal for the American People, so well have to see what happens in the three months. Lou you are being a little tough. A threemonth deal gives an opportunity for responsible leadership rather than a shutdown. Thats what donald trump thinks. Its less likely you will have a shutdown of the government. But at what cost . We have a debt crisis. Nobody want to deal with the structural changes. If you push it to december it makes it easy to have a huge deal that makes tarp look like childs play. Lou niger, lets get a sense of what you think is going on. I see bipartisanship for the first time and we hear from our White House Correspondent john roberts that the president decided as the two sides were about to walk away from one another as they sat there talking with him, the republican and democratic leadership. He said lets do a threemonth deal and got his way. Let me say this. I actually agree somewhat with mollie that the president is a survivor, and hes not beholden to anyone. He want to leave a legacy thats good for the American People, an want to fulfill the promises he made to the American People during the campaign. Hes going to attempt to do it by whatever means necessary. I think he is calling an audible. Because unfortunately his partners in the gop and congress, those leading congress, are blowing a once in a Generation Opportunity for the Republican Party and those of us committed to serving it. Lou we have luis butter webs congressman from the left, attacking general kelly, a 4star general, combat veteran and a man who lost his own son fighting for this country. And gutierrez calls him a disgrace to his uniform. What is going to be what are the consequences for gutierrez. Mollie we hear so much about trumps rhetoric. Here you have a truly reprehensible statement and you dont see the outrage. Opposing an unconstitutional Program Makes you unworthy. I wish those who served in uniform in lurks is gutierrezs district will let him know. Kennedy Hurricane Irma bearing down on florida. A warning for north korea. Can china get on board to help . Elon musk claiming robots could cause world war iii. Grab your cleats. Its time for kickoff. President trump sadly and irresponsibly toyed with 800,000 lives when he used his magic sceptre to sign the daca executive order
