Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20240712

The cabinet position since february of last year. He had been scheduled to appear in march but, of course, the china virus pandemic interrupted that. Chair jerry nadler further delayed the hearing today. He got into a car accident on his way to capitol hill. Once that hearing did get underway, the radical dems proved themselves to be nothing more than idealogues, scared to death of attorney general barr. So much so they wouldnt let him talk. They wouldnt give him even a moment to respond to any of their questions. And as it turned out, from one radical dem congressman to the next, they had nothing to say except spew more leftwing propaganda. The attorney general subjected himself to their insults, their rude behavior, and they seemed to be pretending to be his equals intellectually. It was clear to all that they were not. The attorney general stated there was absolutely no basis for the states prosecution of general Michael Flynn. I think what the counsel concluded was that the only purpose of the interview, the only purpose, was to try to catch him in saying something that they could then say was a lie. So and, therefore, there was not a legit the interview was untethered to any legitimate investigation. Lou and with that, the prosecution of Michael Flynn clearly an act of illegality, an attempt to frame and to subvert the trump presidency. Well, todays hearing largely focused on the use of federal agents to quash violence in democratrun cities. Barr and chairman nadler clashed early on over the use of those agents and officers and whether the rioters were really as peaceful as nadler claimed. Projecting fear and violence nationwide in pursuit of obvious political objectives. Shame on you, mr. Barr. Can i just say shame on you, my time has expired youve con complainted two different things. The effort of legend is to deal with violent crime, crime committed on the streets of the city. Again, predator violence like murder, shootings, which are soaring in some cities right now. That does not involve encountering protesters, as you refer to it. Lou the committees ranking republican, jim jordan, shamed the dems for another sham performance. He played a nearly eightminutelong video that demonstrates the democratsanctioned violence that rages in many of americas cities led by democrats as absolutely nothing to do with peaceful protests. Heres just part of the video. [background sounds] [inaudible conversations] lou despite that vivid video reminder, radical dems such as the former impeachment manager zoe lofgren continued to embrace the absurd insistence that the rioters are Peaceful Protesters and that Law Enforcement is responsible for their violence. People are showing up because the troops are there. And id like to say that so many of them, i would say most of them, are nonviolent. [laughter] lou the attorney general put up with nonsense like that, the lefts nonsense, throughout the hearing. Cheerily, he had enough clearly, he had enough of their ignorance, bad behavior and antipolice rhetoric by the time that hearing was winding down. Here is the attorney general defending the use of federal Law Enforcement to protect and defend federal property and lives against a party that calls the police the enemy. The obligation to protect federal courts and u. S. Marshals specifically have been given that obligation. Federal courts are under attack. Since when is it okay to try to burn down a federal court . If someone went down the street to court here, that beautiful courthouse we have right at the bottom of the hill and started breaking windows and firing industrial grade fireworks in to start a fire, threw kerosene balloons in and start fires in the court, that okay . Is that okay now . No. The u. S. Marshals have a duty to stop that and defend the courthouse, and thats what we are doing in portland. We are at the courthouse defending the courthouse. Were not out looking for trouble. Lou and not a single democrat responded to the attorney generals challenge. Not a one. The attorney general also asking why the radical dems didnt outright condemn mob violence that is plaguingty after city. City after city. Democratrun cities. Makes me concerned for the country is this is the first time in my memory that the leaders of one of our great two political parties, the democratic party, are not coming out and condemning mob violence and the attack on federal courts. Why cant we just say, you know, violence against federal courts has to stop . Could we hear Something Like that . Lou and not a single answer from from a Single Member of todays sham hearing led by jerrold nadler. Todays hearing comes after another night of chaos and violence in cities ace cross the country across the country. Some protests turned violent like in tempe, arizona. Objects thrown at police, officers responded using pepper spray to break up the crowds. This is violence surging in portland, oregon. Portland marking its 61st straight night of unrest. Ap around keyses launch anarchists launching molotov cocktails, fireworks thrown at federal officers, inside the defense perimeter, the fence around that courthouse, the citys antifa supporting mayor ted wheeler, now asking to meet with the head of dhs. This is the same confused mayor who didnt want to meet with him just days ago. Wheeler tweeting hed like to discuss a cease fire and the removal of heightened federal forces from portland. This man is, i think, in need of serious, serious help. He is going to lead a ceasefire . Couldnt he do that unia laterally in unilaterally . Since he seems to have such a great relationship with the antifa anarchists expect black lives matter and the black lives matter activists. Dhs secretary, for his part, chad wolf, has already made it clear those federal officers will not be leaving. Fox news correspondent william la jeunesse embedded with federal agents in portland last night. He joins us live with more on the violence in portland. William. Reporter lou, two things. Number one, the congressman was wrong. This started with the federal courthouse back on the weekend of july 3rd, and the reason so many feds are there now is because people attacked that building, the current fps contingent that was there needed reinforcements. What last night was about point of view, trying to get it from the point of view of the agents inside, not the way its been the last 30 or 60 days. What we saw, peaceful protests about 911 30, then about a third of those people left, and you had the agitators left for the most part. Some had these homemade shields, if you will. Some tried to rip down the fence. Others launched these huge fireworks like rockets horizontally which would slam into plywood and would explode really loud. The room was dark where they staged it from, and they didnt want to give these guys a silhouette to shoot at. Theyre wearing this, you know, helmets, gas masks, ear protection, vests. Why . Not to be intimidating, but to protect themselves. Those fireworks, youve seen them up in the sky in when those explode next to you, burn hands, legs, neck. Also with these lasers that they use, three guys have retinal damage. So i talked to some of the agents, and they basically said this nightly barrage they see from gasoline bombs and fires. [gunfire] big one is we want feds out, then just leave the building alone so we can heave. Thats kind of a general [laughter] were not leaving until we know that this buildings safe. Reporter some of the weapons seized at these peaceful protests, bats, hockey sticks, slingshot, food cans, garden those Spray Bottles filled with urine and bleach, they were found inside a resupply tent they tried to conceal as a first aid station. We are on the defense. Were not out looking for trouble. And if the state and the city would provide the Law Enforcement services of other jurisdictions, we would have no need to have additional marshals in the courthouse. Reporter one thing we were told by several different deputies is, number one, this is the peoples court. This building was built with 200 million back in 1993 of taxpayer money, its maintained with our money, and this is where people go to peacefully resolve their disputes in a court of law, not in a mob. Thats important to these guys. Secondly, they said, you know, the city was not there to help one iota which is why you have so many federal officers, because theyre not getting any help. Of course, as you know, lou, thats pretty unusual. So the update is wheeler wants this meeting now with dhs. He had a presser scheduled today, thats canceled. I think theyre looking for some kind of ceasefire because theyve got a stalemate right now, and many dont think its good for the city business wise. Well probably see a repeat of what we had last night. Back to you. Lou you mean the geniuses who run portland have figured out that 61 nights of rioting, vandalism, arson are not good for business . Really . How smart is that Business Community there that theyve let this go on . This is absolutely outrageous, whats going on in that city. Let me ask you another question. You began by saying that the congressman was wrong. I dont know which congressman youre talking about or what he was wrong about. Could you elaborate . Reporter sure. I think you said in the lead that zoe lofgren was basically saying that the ins graters, the provocateurs here were these federal agents. Well, im going back to the weekend of july 3rd when they moved from the county court to the federal building, and they had, like, 12 guys doing a perimeter, and they were overwhelmed. They started breaking windows and doors, and they tried to lou but wait a minute, wait, wait, william, william, willian, are you referring to the Peaceful Protesters . Is that who youre referring to . Reporter yes, sir with. Lou a little human humor. Thanks so much, william la jeunesse, appreciate it. Thanks so much, from portland, oregon. Up next, were awaiting President Trump to take the podium in the White House Briefing room. Well take you there once the press conference gips.

A group of Health Care Specialists talking in washington yesterday about the benefits of high driving while intoxicated city e clear win, their videos are receiving tens of millions of views. It was the most popular streaming on social media, but twitter, facebook and youtube all removed them. Twitter has temporarily suspended the accounts of donald trump jr. And Attorney Sidney Powell for promoting that video. Also breaking tonight, senator Lindsey Graham is in trouble in his South Carolina senate race. His opponent, jamie harrison, released an internal Campaign Poll showing graham leading harrison by only two points, within the margin of error. The poll also found, the poll also found more than half of south carolinians disapprove of the job graham is doing. Excuse me. In todays hearing, attorney general barr drove the radical dems crazy saying he wont commit to withholding john durhams obamagate investigation until after the election are. Under oath, do you commit to not releasing any report by mr. Durham before the november election . No. You dont commit to that . No. So you i will be very careful department of Justice Policy that [inaudible conversations] in any political investigations before the november election . The time were not going to interfere. In fact, ive made it clear but under oath youre saying that you do not commit to releasing a report by durham. Im not going to any report will be, in my judgment, not one that is covered by the policy of the election. Lou well, joining us tonight, john solomon, awardwinning investigative reporter, editorinchief of just the news. His new book is called Fallout Nuclear bribes, russian spies and the washington lies that enriched the clinton and biden dynasties, on sale now. We recommend it to you highly. John, good to see you. I watched the attorney general today. [laughter] it was asson thishing to watch that astonishing to watch that. And just when i think the left cant be more obnoxious and rude and crude and disregarding of any kind of decorum, there they are. Thats a Judiciary Committee . Expect attorney general has and the attorney general has to put up with that. My gosh. Your reaction to what you witness today. Yeah. Sadly, it wasnt an oversight hearing although theres a lot of things the house Judiciary Committee could have done today such as the failures of the fbi. This was a three, four, fivehour political attack ad for the lou im sorry, just as we begin, the president is walking up to the podium in the White House Briefing room. Heres he is. Achieving american pharmaceutical independence. Very, very big, big step. A focus of our campaign, to bring americas critical supply chains and medical manufacturing back to the usa, weve been working on this for a long time. This is a core of our strategy to protect our people from the horrible china virus. Should have never happened, should have never been here, they should have stopped it. In the decades before i took office, foreign nations were allowed to freely plunder our factories and loot our industries, take our business out of the United States. Millions of jobs were vacuumed out, just taken out so easily. Our politicians let that happen. And our communities were stripped and shipped in many cases to china and all over the world, countries all over the world. Nearly four years ago we launched a bold effort to revitalize American Manufacturing, enact fair trade deals and bring our industries back home where they belong. When the china virus landed on our shores, it became clearer than ever before that restoring American Manufacturing is a core matter of national security. We must never be reliant on a foreign nation for americas medical or other needs, and that includes many other needs. I just want to say that pfizer Just Announced a little while ago that theyre combining phase two and phase three trials, and the vaccine looks like its really heading in a very rapid direction, a very positive direction. First time thats a happened in their and theyre many months ahead of any other trial. Theres never been anything like it. So the fastest ever and, to me, its very exciting. Today im proud to announce one of the most important deals in the history of u. S. Pharmaceutical industries. My administration has reached a historic agreement with a Great American company. You remember this company, its called from the good old camera age, the old days, to begin producing critical pharmaceutical ingredients. Its called kodak. And its going to be right here in america. So i want to congratulate the people in kodak. Theyve been working very hard. Members of my administration are present in rochester right now, rochester, new york. Good place. And theyre trying to finalize this groundbreaking deal, and they will be announcing this deal. I want to thank Governor Andrew Cuomo and his representatives. Weve worked really well together on this deal. Its a big deal. Its going to be a great deal for new york and a great deal for kodak. 90 of all prescriptions written in the United States are for generic drugs. We have approved more generic drugs than any other administration by far. Generic drugs can be just as good as the brand names but cost much less. Yet in less than 10 of the active pharmaceutical ingredients needed to make these drugs, they currently manufacture in america more than 50 , however, are made in india and china. And youll be seeing a lot of things have happened, its been happening, but its happening at a more rapid pace right now. With this new agreement, my Administration Using the defense production act to provide a 765 million loan to support the launch of kodak pharmaceuticals. Its a great name when you think of it, such great name. Was one of the great brands in the world. Then people went digital, and kodak didnt follow, but now under very extraordinary leadership, they are following, and theyre doing something thats a different field, and its a field that theyve really hired some of the best people in the world to be taking care of that company and watching that company, watching over it. But its a breakthrough in bringing pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the
