Recession. A recession would be very worth getting rid of donald trump. There are plenty of signs of a possible recession. If we did face a recession it now be normal, it would be okay. Those people im hearing are realizing importance of getting a deal done with china if they want a job 4 years from now. Lou President Trump today reminding all americans of beijings decades of breadth pry trade practices, chinas theft of intellectual property and technology, and massive trade surpluses with United States over decades, anoints to trillions of dollars. China has been ripping this country off for 25 years, or longer it is about time, whether good for our country or bad for our country shortterm. Longterm it what it is about. There are experts they have 300 billion a year where they steal it, someone had to to something with china. Obama should have done it. Bush should have done it, clinton should have done it, they all should have done. Nobody did it im doing. You say my trade dealer causing my trade deals are not causing a problem. This had to be done, only difference and im doing it. Lou his trade deals are actually the solution, tonight we ask why everyone of President Trumps Public Policy initiatives and policies whether it be challenging chinas aggression or trade deficits or president s effort to secure our border with mexico. And to assure the safety of americans. Why is that to the radical dimms, the rinos, National Left wing media, corporate america. And wall street . Why is it the elites, hate our president and his America First agenda . It begs the question, who would these globalist elites put first if not america . Well try to get to the answer to that question tonight. Is the president support amongst africanamericans and hispanics the reason that the radical left what you now ginned up its basic attacks. The country two largest minority groups appear to be tiring of the left, treats them look fools, as if they will continue to put up with senseless slurs again this president , with no evidence, just hate. While this president continues to produce for all americans, keeping his promise to all americans. Unemployment record levels. Hispanics also enjoying near low levels, well show you the latest polling on the president s support among those groups, likely the reason that democrats are in a new higher stage of desperation. We bring with breaking news, nra chief executive Wayne Lapierre saying that President Trump assured him that universal background checks are off the table, nra tweeted that development, President Trump had sent clear signals on the issue this the day, President Trump saying that he and the Republican Party are very strong on the second amendment. Democrats would i believe, i think they would give up the second amendment. And the people that a lot o of e people that put me where i am are strong believers in the second amendment, i am also, we have to be very careful about that, they call it the slippery slope, all of a sudden everything gets taken away, were not going to let that happen. Lou joining us tonight, former congressman, jason chaffetz, and best selling author, fox business contributor. You heard the president say strong on the second amendment, your thoughts about the president s position. That of the Republican Party. I think that the president is spot on. He understands this issue. His son is an avid shooter, most of the complaints, not all, but most you get from people are people that are not familiar with weapons, i happen to have 5, i am a concealcarry permit holder, pos most people go throh background checks, i dont think if you look at the Mass Shootings that any of the changes that democrats are saying, one more law would suddenly change things. There are things we can do, but this socalled University Background check, i dont think is one. Lou it i agree with you. Reality that lawful purchases at gun shops require a background check. What were experiencing in every instance, is someone, a family member, a counselor at a high school, not reporting people who are troubled, who are in dire need of help, we can you know there is a al awful, tragic lisf those circumstances. But none of that braying of taking away second facility amet rights of americans would address this issue. Yes, they go after the honest hard working americans who maybe like huntinger they want to carry a weapon to feel more safe, they want to put more impediments on them, what they should do, dont allow those people who are teens less than age years old we know are entangled with law dont expunge their record when they are 18, allow Law Enforcement to look at those people when they suddenly turn 18. Lou you have Lindsey Graham, you know going on about red flag laws. To me is bizarre. Acting as if he is some sort of a secondary president ial spokesman particularly on th sed amendment for which he is not qualified. Were getting such nonsense. And Judiciary Committee in senate has not done any investigating, it is not focused on any of these issues, it could take the issue of Mental Health in this country, instead playing at margin, and we never know with Lindsey Graham how fungible that idea will be. And now with china, even amongst elite on wall street, the left wing media, and, of course, in politics, they all understand the truth of the president s position. If he does not stand here, all could be lost. I think everyone in their gut understands that china has been ripping us off for a very long time. I think that america figured out they wanted a disruptive and unconvental president. It takes a president like donald trump, not a resume item, not getting a cool Business Card or make more money after this job. But he could stand firm, that is what the people that are in the heartland of america understand. They know that. That is why he is doing so well and will continue to thrive. Lou it is amazing, acknowledging that president is right to take this position, jamie dimon as well. And yet, still the flirting a with the globalist elite and that suffocating crowd that you know lead wall street, and list goes on. This president standing up to the power political power, the economic power of those elites has been people do not i think appreciate how strong he had to be to deal with that. Yeah, they are used to having a president who kind of tiptoe through the tulips and dont to offend anyone. Then here comes donald trump willing down to blow down the whole opportunit tulip field anl right, this is what were doing. And you are not going to take advantage of america. Well put tariffs on you, until you get your act straight, we just fair, balance trade, that is a good winning message. Lou i think it is too. I would like to quarrel with you, you called him unconventional, conventional is clinton, bush and obama, each one of thes failing. The fact is he is a historic president. And i dont see where why republican should hesitate to use the word, everyone in the Republican Party knows he has done in two and a half years than anyone in modern history, and should be credited with that. I say it with fondness, he broke the mold, if you want different results do it in a different way, america figured that out, they had a plethora of washington d. C. Insiders running for president , america rejecting that, said no, we want someone in Business Community who could stand up, get done put America First. A lot of people still dont understand the whole maga slogan, they still down get it. Lou we you know president make America Great again, something that you would think that every american could embrace, but just about half the country is running from it they dont understand the man, the country or the times in and we live, or challenges that face this nation. And they dont care to open their eyes to the reality. Jason chaffetz, great to have you with us, i cant wait for your new book. Power grab. Liberal scheme to undermine trump, g. O. P. And our republic we recommend it to you, is it possible to order early. Order early it discounted now, it will be shipped, for sale, day after labor day. Thank you, lou. Lou you bet. Thank you. Lou up next secretary of state mike papadopoulos. And Rino Paul Ryan . He left the swamp . Or did he . What is he saying . Is he turning his back on the heartland so soon . Well have that story and so much, right after the break, stay with us. Lou forever never trumpo rino, paul ryan too big for wayneville, wisconsin, a spokesperson said his family is temporarily renting a house in maryland, so his wife can be closer to her family. Ryan made it clear, during his time in congress it was his career not his choice to brought him to dc, there you are. Wondering what else has drawn him back to the swamp. A new poll shows joe biden commanding a double digit lead against the other 2020 dim president ial home fulls, cnn finding 29 percent of likely democrat idemocratic voters supy up, and Kamala Harris popularity plunged to 5 , down 12 points from june. Similar numbers in fox news poll biden with 31 of democratic supporters and harris 8 . Joining us tonight fox business political analyst. Ed rollins. Good to see you. Lets start with biden is a hard man. You cant pay too much attention to polls atthispoint. We have a long ways to go. Dont tell me not to use it. Well focus on polls all the way through, but put it in until voters get to vote, in iowa in New Hampshire, and in south carolina. A super tuesday after this. It does not matter, they move back and forth. He is the biggest name in the party. He is obamalight in all practical, he is not obama. He does not have issues of his own. Own. He doesnt . New issues. You take two chasers, Bernie Sanders and. Lou Kamala Harris and elizabeth warren. Warren and sanders, they have the same numbers, they have 15 and 14 , that is 29 . My sense once he gets into combat, he has never been a good candidate, he will drop. He is in combat with himself. That right. Lou he did utter my favorited biden implemennism, we believe s not truth. I am still working with that one, that is a beauty. Remember, rudy guliani of way ahead, did not swor score well,e same with governor bush. We have our nominee, and the others, that is too bad. You know, this guy, mooch what is going on there . Squarthere. Scaramucci is a fool, he never would have been heard from by anyone. If president did not put him in a position he was not qualified for. He crashed and burned. Now spectacularly. Next 25 years, he will be a term, someone will scaramucci, he will crash and burn. Lou one of the most vicious, petty. Stupid, just that way, stupid, he does not know politics. He is a stupid, stupid man. That is being kind. Lou well just bury that issue of him for a while. Ryan. Moving to dc . This is the guy who flying back and forth on weekends to with with his family. Ryan has been a washingtonian forever. He was an intern. And his family lived in wisconsin, but he will never leave. He will make tremendous amount of money being a lobbyist or heading a trade Association Like chamber of commerce. That is the problem, the establishment of that town is now expeople like them, they dont represent the people, they represent their invested interest vested interest, i am not surprised. And president being attacked by the left, day unite, all quarters, all direction, whether it is recession or racism or russia. You know latest they try for some reason radical dimms having a hard time getting away from the letter r, who was it, george, kellyannes husband. George conway. Lou good thing were here to help each other. Anyway, going after him. How does he put up with this much ignorance. He is tough, he is smart, he knows it does not matter at the end of the day, he is doing what he said he would do. He has a gigantic economy, rebuilding the military, the country. I always throw the question out, do you want biden . Why would you even want to go back . My sense this president has been a suburb job, and superb job. And this country at end of the day, public the get a choice, the choice will be clear. Lou if not right now. Well, it is right now as we speak, we just need to have the campaign. Lou the vote. That vote. Lou ed rollins thank you. Thank you. Lou Border Patrol said they arrested a large group of nearly 200 illegals from central mark america near a new mexico port of entry. Apapprehensions are still higher yearoveryear. Well have more on the crisis along Mexican Border in broadcast, David Henin Jere will join us later to talk about business and particularly banks playing politics. Up next, a new study shows that china could cripple u. S. Military in the pacific went hours. Can you believe that . Wow. Just who is behind such a study . How credible is it . Days but hours. Well take it up after the break, see when you could of it all. Stay with us. Limu emu doug and now for their service to the community, we present limu emu doug with this key to the city. [ applause ] its an honor to tell you that Liberty Mutual customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. And now we need to get back to work. [ applause and band playing ] only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Lou officials in greece say they have no requests for the Iranian Oil Tanker to dock. This is as sources tell fox news it is heading to syria. To transfer cargo later in the year. Researchers from university of sydney claim that china could launch a military attack in the region. Before u. S. Could even respond. You see something this alarming, you ask yourself, who did this study . Well, three people, these entities, australian government. Two military defense companies. Northrop grumman and telus a french company, makes you wond wonder. President trump for his part, said he is not losing any sleep over this. We have the Strongest Military in the world right now, were close to getting finished with the whole rebuilding. There is no one close to us militarily. Does not concern you . No, they pay a price they would not to pay. Lou joining us, Fox Business National security Foreign Policy analyst, dr. Walid phares, and dr. Sebastian gorka, lets start with iran. This business with the tankers, why is this so significant, and why is the United States to this point hapless, if it wishes to stop the tanker and confiscate it, why has it not do done so. This demonstrates that iran regime is starving, they want tankers to go anywhere they can sell, this is evidence were successful with regard to iran. On the other hand, seizing a tanker, i mean the United States before making such a decision needs to have the bigger plan. What happens next ithe iranians move, where . Not just across gulf or mediterranean, give our administration the the credit for being willing to study what is being done, but not letting iran break these sanction. Lou it seems to me, we dont have a good answer. Not a good one, seb . I agree with wa lid. This is a regime that is taughterring the antions that we reimposed. They are desperate, they are so very rich in oil, but barely has capacity to refine the oil under its own soil. This is rusty sabre rattling a very good sign. Lou well take it as that. The issue of isis is. Walid, these accounts of isis some sort of resurgence no matter how nascent or controlled, it alarming when you think about the taliban in afghanistan, and isis in the relationship between those two, i see almost no mention of that relationship between isis. And the taliban. It is critical to the president s plans. To rationalize our military presence around the world. It is true, this is a problem, how to deal with the jihadists movement in the world on the longterm. But to be realistic, isis real estate and syria and iraq is gone. Demonstration has done a formidable job in making sure that caliphate is gone. These are sca spasms. Concern that i have is not isis in syria, that what were doing nerp its oterms of cutting a a l with the taliban in qatar, that a question, i do not trust the taliban,. Jim that relationship between the taliban and isis. I think that taliban are cutting deal with al qaeda and isis, saying let me deal with the morning first, get them out with the americans first, get them out of afghanistan, then we have all we want after they are gone, we should not be naive. Lou and china, is confronting us across around the globe, russia is doing so region by region, particularly in middle east. Your thoughts about the challenge they represent now, working together against the United States . Well, under former kgb colonel, vladimir putin, russia is still a international threat, they are a nation in massive decline. With regard to the study from sydney, you asked the right question, this center that no nobody has heard of. This smacks of pro propaganda, e idea that china they could defeat us in a matter of hours, one me metric, china has one Aircraft Carrier that is diesel powers they bought secondhand from ukraine. We america have 12 nuclear Aircraft Carriers this is a farce of a study. Lou they would not try to gin up some business. You nailed it,. Lou last word. I agree with professor china has not had any experience in global warfare since korean wore. We are all over we are already deployed everywhere in the world. We can reach anywhere in hours, they should have done the study about our forces. Lou i think you would agree with me, we would forgo that experience, and be willing to lament our smaller presence around the globe rather than the vast presence that we have now, walid phares and Sebastian Gorka thank you. Thank you, lou. Lou follow h me on instagram, p next, a shocking new study exposes more of facebooks bias against conservative voices, and also its breadt to what seems ta authoritarian perspective. Well have that and more right after this quick break. Stay with us. Lou wall street journal reporting a group of state attorneys general preparing to launch a broad investigation to technology giants, that include facebook, amazon, apple and google, investigation could begin next month and focus on whether the Companies Use their economic power to stifle competition, it could coincide with the department of justices on going current antitrust investigation of the same subjects, and perhaps more. A audit fines a political diversity problem at facebook, imagine. Study written by former republican senator jon kyl found lack of conservative voices among its employees, and its board of directors. Facebook did not give senator jon kyl access to the current content policies ora or alga algorithms that create a socalled news tab, that feature media outlines paid for by facebook. Joining me tonight, author corey lewandowski. The president taking on all comers, and today saying straight forward lely, on chinaf he had not done it no one would have. You know, as we look back on this administration in 30years from now, well be looking at what don ha donald trump has doo level the Playing Field against china, and thank him. But for too long china has taken advantage of United States of america, through theft of intellectual property, currency manipulation or stealing our intellectual property without even telling us about it. So, they subsidize their companies they dump their product on our u. S. Soil put American Companies out of business. It is one of his legacies looking back when it administration is over, 30 years down road, our children, grandchildren will be thankful this president stood up to oppressive regime in china that is trying to rip us off every single day. Lou he was lone among candidates, as a candidate could taking on Silicon Valley. He has said straight forwardly, he wants to know what in the work is going on out what in the world is going on out there and. And anticonservative bias in social media. It looks we may see a informal joint effort add state attorneys general are taking on technology in Silicon Valley, as is the deputy of justice. I dont agree with many of the state attorneys general out there, particularly from new york. But in this case, i have say, i agree with her. She understands that, these companies, in Silicon Valley have done a terrible job of protecting peoples personal vie vasey Information Privacy information and being a platform for just sharing information, they are bias, and they are forcing American Public to go to their news feeds, they are now quote, unquote journalists through their news feeds. If the government does not regulate the information they share and protect that nasm coulinformknack, biel have a brm well have a big problem. These companies determine what people are seeing on a daily basis. Lou doing what they wish with use are data they possess without consequence, not so in europe, where europe is coming down hard on all of this the anticompetitive predatory practices as well as the just absolute disregard and violation of privacy. We see it every day, another story that some company listening in on your home because you have alexa or we see that cookies they ta take off youre computer, they know when you are walking or driving, they know your route, fox news did a huge expose about this, even when you shut off your phone, these companies are tracking youe every day, American People deserve better. Lou what are they hearing when they listen to your phone, and watching and you your home, as you travel, and make your plans to run for the senate . A lot of people that did not vote for gorsuch or kavanaugh and voted to keep funding safundsant cities,. Lou president said you would be tough to defeat. When will we hear you will take care of business . We had president in New Hampshire thursday night, he beat, elton john for number of people who could fit in that arena. I will spend more time thinking about it, when i decide to do it, ill break it on your show. Lou appreciate that. Look forward to that. Thank you. Lou thank you, corey well you lewandowski. Up next.

At el sens sep el centro millios have been coming in. Joining us tonight, damon heninger from corpasific, lets start with the number of banks that refuse to work with Companies Like yours, they feel they dont to help customs enforcement. This is frustrating. Weve been around 35 years providing solutions, we own and operate prison jail, decenttion center, we have great reentry programming and reduces recidivism. And we have more space. Then we do Community Facilities be we provide last 6 or 12 months before individuals get released to community. They connection with a employer and reunify with families, this is frustrating that banks that have been with us 30 years. Lou what are they telling you, why they dont want your business. They dont have a good reason, this is the same business that weve done under president obama. This is the same service. They dont have a good reason to be honest, it pure politics in high view. Lou that may be the reason one would suspect it could be only reason to see commercial banks engaged in making Political Economic judgments in point of fact for political purposes. This is stunning stuff, i want to share with the audience, ryan moynihan. Head of bank of america, on are you ready . On illegal immigration. We need to get immigration right. We need people in this country, were not creating people fast enough, population is grown about half the rate it was before the thin the financial ce grow faster if we have more people, it has to be organized and efficient, and well documented that is the crisis were facing. We need more people, were in a crisis of trying to figure out how to do it. Lou wow that is clear, about immigration, he has the solution, more people. And we have to have them. He says. That is really stunning to see what you are up against, you are not alone. Corporate america right now through business round table made it clear, the shareholders are not the stake holders of priority, they open it up to whatever political organization, wants to take them on. And community, it is prettiy what is your recourse . What are you going to do . I read announcement yesterday frommable round table closely. And as you know, jamie dimon is chair of that round table, being a ceo of j. P. Morgan, a long time Banking Partner of ours. My view, is were doing those things they are talking about. We have a great company, and we have i mean i guess my point is. Lou what . We do great work with went our facilities, reduce. Were getting people when they are released not back in criminal justice em system, wee talking, i encourage banks if they want to be part of overall solution, were in the sweet spot, on helping people get better prepared. We know they dont give a wit. You know, i know there is a lot of banks. Legal recourse . Well, i tell you, there a lot of folks on hill, in house and senate, and even regulator this engagous this topic, there is a lot ofinist. Lou they have a responsibility to shareholders and what they are doing here is outrageous. Why is there not a challenge from the fed, why are they not reacting here . I tell you justice department. I will tell you, there is a lot of interest. I cant share anything tonight, but a lot of interest in last 30 days, from regulators. Lou i get tired of hearing that you know there is nothing yet. I dont mean from you. But when it comes to this ghf government. One you know, i mean. They need t to deal with this. To me, this seems to be on its face a disaster. Who the hell do the people think they are. Were so critical. They dont have alternatives. Our solution is effective. And flexible. Lou damon heninger, company, ceo of company, core civic. Thank you. Lou keep me posted on any developments of which you cannot speak. Thank you. Lou i promise to keep it a secret. Thank you. Lou thank you.
