FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight July 14, 2024

Still hopeful that the house will ratify the agreement calling on house peeker nancy pelosi to do the right thing. An wall street, a record day. The s p 500 closing at an alltime record high, the dow closing at its third highest level in history, only 75 points tonight from its record high. All of this despite heightened tensions in the middle east after iran shot down that american drone over International Air space. President trump today slammed the roi rogue nations mistake s iran made a big mistake. This drone was in international waters. Clearly we have it all documented. Its documented scientifically, not just words. And they made a very bad mistake. Lou a big mistake, a sad mistake and for more on the iranian attack, Fox National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin with the latest from the pentagon. Lou, pentagon officials deny the u. S. Drone was shot down over iran. The air force released this video of the actual moment of impact of the u. S. Navys Global Hawk Drone being shot down by the advanced iranian surfacetoair missile. It was shot down roughly 20 miles from the shoreline. U. S. Navy Officials Say the drone was flying over the strait. Heres the air force commander for the gulf speaking from a u. S. Military base in cu qatar. It had not violated iranian air space at any time during its mission. This attack is an attempt to disrupt our ability too monitor the area following recent threats to International Shipping and the free flow of commerce. Iiranian reports that this aircraft was shot down over iran are categorically false. The general did not take any questions nor did any of the spokesmen here at the pet gone. The chairman of the joint chiefs took with him to the white house military options for the president. The president gave himself and irans leaders an out perhaps to get home the negotiating table. I find it hard to believe it was intentional, if you want to know the truth. It could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it. Well be able to report back and youll understand exactly what happened. But it was a very foolish move. That i can tell you. The shootdown of the u. S. Navys large unmanned drone with the wing span the size of a boeing 737 took place from not far u. S. Officials say acran ien attacked two tankers last week. Iran missed when it fired on a lowerflier drone that was sent to monitor the tanker that was hit by mines last week. Lou . Lou jennifer, thank you. Jennifer griffin reporting. Jennifer noted that the u2 spy plane thats been in existence since 1956 has, in some ways within superior performance specs. The u2s ceiling is 75,000 feet, 15,000 more than the downed global hawk. The iranian attacks twb primary focus of the president and his National Security team today of course, but the president did take time to meet with canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the white house. The two leaders working toward a trade deal, both optimistic that the mca will be approved and ratified. Fox White House Correspondent kevin cork joins us with the latest. Its the largest trade deal by far ever entered into and were close to having it finalized. A lot of jobs for our country. A bullish President Trump today joined by canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the office that a vote to approve the trade deal will happen so. I believe that nancy pelosi and the house will approve it. The senate will approve it rapidly. Its going to be very bipartisan. Legislators in mexico have signed off on it. Getting the u. S. And canada to complete the u. S. Mca could take months because democrats on capitol hill have concerns over the agreements Enforcement Mechanisms for Prescription Drug costs and environmental protections. Translator i celebrate the raratifying of this treaty. We reiterate our determination and conviction to maintain ties of friendship and cooperation with development of canada and the United States. Even as the president congratulated mexicos leaders for rat fying the u. S. Mca, some wonder if the mexican people have a reliable partner in the white house. Well this week i consider them a friend. Theyve been doing a great job, actually. My great job the president meant mexicos new improved assistance in helping to stem the flow of illegal aliens reaching the u. S. Southern border, one that may have to do for now. Is this a week by week. Ill have to see how they do. Nay can easily stop if they want to. They can easily stop this tremendous migration to the United States. Indeed a wideranging interview with nbc. The president among many comments said that latinos and hispanics support his idea of deporting millions of Illegal Immigrants in this country. He said because they dont want to lose their jobs, they dont want to see their salaries and wages go down and most importantly he said they dont want crime. Lou . Lou kevin, thank you very much. Kevin cork from the white house. Hispanic americans are not monolithic any more than any other segment of our national population. Our first guest tonight says Congress Needs to pass the u. S. Mca trade deal this summer. Joining us tonight, peter navarro, director of trade and industrial policy, director of the White House National trade council. Peter, great to have you with us. Good evening, lou. Lou this is a strong week for the president , for the administration, for the country on trade. The senate, mexico passing the deal overwhelming margin. Justin trudeau it appears has come to his senses and understands the importance of getting this deal done. And now we have only one question, really outstanding and that is what does nps think . Nancy pelosi think. What does she think, peter. This was a promise in between by candidate trump to renegotiate nafta. Hes done his job, bringing it to the finish line. Lighthizer is working hard on capitol hill to get this on the floor of the house and the senate. If it gets there its going to pass overwhelmingly in a bipartisan way. And all we need to do now is get whats called the implementing legislation. And lighthizer would love to hear from anybody on capitol hill with any remaining concerns so we can get this ball running. We need to do this summer. Its a high iq. The highest iq trade deal ever done. Its strong, going to bring back manufacturing jobs. Its worst about half a million jobs. A point on the gdp growth. It all revolves around two things, a rules of origin rule with strong laborrary environmental protections to keep our jobs here not there and modernizing the agreement so we get the digital economy, services and intellectual property into the old nafta. And those three sectors, those are three sectors where we really have a strong competitive intcompetitive. Lets get it done this summer. Lou it would be pe persuasive o the democrats and the republicans to hear the metric, how much would the trade deficit that we run with mexico and canada be reduced . Thats going to go down substantially. Theres not a member of congress that would go out to their district now and get any kind of credit for this deal. Its going to be talked about during the election and the best thing to do for these congress is to support this deal now because its good policy. Its going to be bad politics if it gets hung up in partship. This is onpartisanship. Ahave t. Often the trade deals pit our farmers against the manufacturers. Not true with this one. Lou farmer efarmers represent a small segment of the 20plus trillion dollar economy of ours. Theyre going to be very disappointed that its not a fair fight. Like engaging those overwhelming numbers. I understand the importance political of farming and agriculture. But when we look at trade particularly now with chai in which we see emphasis on soybeans for crying out loud instead of highly industrial technological trade, people sort of scratch their heads at what so many three president s permitted to create over all these years. Its stunning stuff. Well, the china situation, i was lucky to be in orlando tuesday night for that magnificent speech. And what the president said very clearly is were going to get a great deal and a fair deal with china or were not. And the bottom line is either way weve got a strong economy, a bullish stock market. Public opinion and congress on a bipartisan basis fully behind the china tariffs. And guess what, lou, the china tariffs are working beautifully. Were bringing back our jobs, our factories, the supply chain. Weve raised over 15 billion. But my favorite is the fact that q1 2019 real gdp growth rate, the full point of that was due to reducing the trade deficit largely because of the china tariffs. Tariffs are good. Theyre working. China is paying for the cost of the tariffs. Lou peter, now will never have to dpe fend tariffs. We report here nightly that theyre working and working, as you put it in trumpian terms. Beautifully. Thank you so much. Great to have you with us. New information tonight about the number of convicted criminal Illegal Immigrants traveling to the u. S. Border. According to the department of homeland security, more than a thousand Illegal Immigrants traveling with caravans over the past nine months possessed u. S. Criminal histories. Hundreds of those with criminal convictions, a caravan of 8,000 arrived at the border back in december. And among them, 660 criminals convictedded in the United States. Now we contacted dhs to find out what happened with those criminals. Were they apprehended, were they turned over for incarceration or are they simply released as has been too often the response, caught and released into this society. We have yet, we have yet to get an answer. Up next the Left Wing National Media actually covering the political corruption of joe biden and his son. Is hunter biden profiting off of his dads work as Vice President and did joe biden allow it. Were talking about millions of dollars in two countries. Lou the National Left wing media actually covering a negative story about joe biden. Incredible. Democrats take note.

President trump was asked whether he should reach timeout to swing voter. Hep responded with this quote, quote, i think my base is so strong im not sure that i have to do that, end quote. The president s Campaign Manager telling the magazine that their Campaign Mantra is turnout, turnout and turnout. A former staffer for New Hampshire democratic senator Maggie Hassan sentenced to four years in prison for his role in docking republicans who supported the confirmation of Supreme Court jus cities brett kavanaugh. The 27yearold also worked for Barbara Boxer and Sheila Jackson lee. Hack senate computers, posted the personal addresses and numbers republicans. At the sentencing u. S. Court judge condemned him for putting people in harms way in a polarized society and four years in jail ought to be instructive in that regard. Joining us tonight, fox business political analyst the so van himself, ed rollins. Good to see you. How are you . Lou i a want to start with ira. The president did something very interesting, talking about an avenue to a different result than simply a retaliation for this strike by the iranians. Your reaction to it. I think its always good to basically give them an option you always need to give someone an option not to go to war. They continue this kind of behavior and obviously the tap people made a decision to shoot down one of our drones, then i think its more significant. But once we start there its going to be a significant battle. Lou last count two pipeline understanincidents, six tankersd and one of our drones shot down. I basically think when we start firing im not for putting men on the ground but im certainly for using our sophisticated equipment. Weve gone beyond the pail. Theyre going to have a lot of fire in their oil wells. Lou its really stunning that theyre being this stupid. I agree with the president. I cant imagine how stupid the iranians are to have done this. I totally agree. And i think that reality is, you know, well see in the next 24 hours what hes going to do. But i think he gave a tough message and i think hes gave the message in the right place and he said if you didnt do it, wasnt at the top level, which i assume it was, step forward and tell us. Lou heys going to do what . Step forward and tell us. I think everything in that country is in the hierarchy. I think the revolutionary guard runs the place and the ie to ya iayatollahis making the decisio. Lou were 40 years in. Its pretty clear who they are. No question. We were not i mean our drone is a sophisticated piece of equipment. It did not have to go over their space and we didnt do that and i have great confidence of that. Lou lets turn to the politics of it all. The president getting off to a this has been a remarkable week with the kickoff in or land do with the Mexican Senate ratifying the u. S. Mca. This is a president who is, frankly, continuing his absolutely adroit leadership and governance of the country. A very clear message the other day. People saying its a repeat of what hes been saying and what hes been saying is what shes been doing. You know if you vote for President Trump r trump youre going to get xjz and more of the same. If you want to vote for the democrats, youre going back to the dark days of obama. Lou i thought you were going to say back to the talker ages. The dark ages. Certainly badc policies. When pascal and everybody talks about revving up the base, the base is not just republicans. A plurality of voters today are independent voters. Youve got to get a third of those voter to win a presidency. Lou lets be very clear. Trump has done that. Lou this president has outperformed with hispanics, with africanamericans, with women. And when he does, as you point out directly and i think correc, his base is not an arch defying group of republicans. Right. Lou it is really important to understand, i believe this to be the case, that he will expand his appeal to each one of those minority groups i any across all demographics. Were going to broaden his outcome. Four years ago he beat a candidate who had nothing and he didnt have a great campaign. He now has a strong strong record to run on. And thats what he needs to do. Every single thing that he done. Lou stronger record a than any modern president tharchlts what he needs to run on. Lou great to see you. The trial of navy s. E. A. L. Edward gallagher taking an extraordinary turn. Hes accused of stabbing and killing an isis prisoner of war. Today special operator first class corey scott testified that he, he was in fact the man who killed the isis prisoner by asphyxiation after gag ge gallad been charged with stabbing the man. When asked why he killed the terrorist, scott replied, quote, i knew he was going to die anyway. I wanted to save him from what was going to happen next to him. End quote. Amazing developments. Up next, a new report says the dirty garag fraudulent steee dossier wasnt the only dirty document used by the fbi against the Trump Campaign. Well have that and much more right after this quick break. Stay with us. O sell insurance. Nobody knows why. Shes the progressive insurance lady.
