Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20240712

Adviser, general michael flynn, has taken yet another extraordinary and unprecedented twist. The full d. C. Appellate court today announced that they will be reexamining the Justice Departments decision to drop its prosecution of general flynn. The activist clintonappointed judge who has overseen this case for two years, the District Court judge who asked the Appellate Court the take the unprecedented action of reviewing the entire case, judge emmet sullivan, a recent ruling from three judges on that same Appellate Court ruled that the case should be dismissed. But the full court has now reversed them as well. Without basis in law, without precedent anywhere in our court system and has set oral arguments for august 11th to effectively retry general flynn and to extend further the judiciary, the judiciarys persecution of him. As if three years has not been more than enough to watch as a corrupt, politically corrupt department of justice and federal bureau of investigation needed the help of the leftwing judges who make up the d. C. Circuit court of appeals. Seven of those eleven judges appointed by either bill clinton or barack obama. Thats right. This is an obvious and outrageous, politically motivated and politically corrupt judiciary. Seven of the eleven judges left wing and acting as if they cannot constitute a leftwing organization. It is a disturbing trend, to say the least, emerging in our legal system. Billionaires like george soros are packing courthouses and District Attorneys offices with leftwing, sympathetic judges and prosecutors all across the country, all who support the radical lefts agenda and in most cases support the violence in americas democratrun cities. St. Louis circuit attorney, called a District Attorney in most regions, ken gardener, is one of those kim gardener is supported by soros. She recently announced felony charges against the st. Louis couple who were pictured across the country with their weapons on their, in their arms and hands but within their property and at their home would be charged. And kim fox notoriously from cook county, illinois, another sorosbacked states attorney, she Drew International attention, when asked about charges in chicago, fox told the Chicago Sun Times it wouldnt be a good use of time and resources to, i guess, bring justice in her community. Other beneficiaries of the soros contributions are advocating to fundamentally transform the Justice System. District attorneys from san francisco, philadelphia, boston have all been participating in a project founded by leftwing radical activist john king. That group is called the, quote, truth, justice and reconciliation commission. Their web site says the Justice System is, quote, operating exactly the way it was designed and built to function. Thats why were imagining and building something new. A Political Action committee cofounded by king has also supported several sorosbacked prosecutors and state attorneys general since 2018. One of their candidates is mike smith who won his election to become the top prosecutor in, thats right, portland, oregon. His term begins this saturday in this critical moment when violent, leftwing activists and anarchists are trying to burn down the federal courthouse every day, attacking Law Enforcement including federal officers and agents protecting that federal courthouse. Smith telling a local nbc affiliate he potentially would drop charges against nonviolent protesters when hes in office. If he can find a nonviolent protester, well, with supporting video. That would be quite astonishing in itself. Former president barack obama today in atlanta for the john lewis services. The former president chose the moment to raise his voice to further attack the Trump Administration and support mailin voting. There are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrict thive id laws [applause] and attacking our Voting Rights with surgical precision, even undermining the Postal Service in the runup to an election. [applause] lou in the runup to the election, the former president sounds like someone running for office, doesnt he . Mr. Obamas worry for people getting sick from the china virus made before packed church with people Standing Shoulder to shoulder in the pews. Im sorry, what is that about . Twitter is defending their decision to block tweets from President Trump and allow antisemitic tweets to be published and stay up from irans ayatollah. A policy executive for twitter who strangely represents both the nordic countries and israel telling israeli lawmakers that ca mainnys tweets were saberrattling on Economic Issues that are generally not in violation of our rules. Is there a more corrupt arbiter of what should be permitted to be expressed than twitter . Well, a reminder the former deep state attorney james baker is now on the twitter legal team. Actions like these raise more questions as to why the house judiciary and one of their subcommittees failed to bring up the section 230 protections for big tech and the lawsuits that are underway by the Justice Department and states attorneys general to deal with their massive and deeply anticompetitive behavior. Neither of the hearings heard over the past two days; that is, featuring the attorney general and four tech titans. They decided not to talk about the central issue. Joining us tonight to talk about the central issue involved here is brendan carr, exhibitioner of the fcc commissioner of the fcc. He previously served as the fccs general counsel. Brendan, it is good to have you with us, and thanks for being here. Quite a remarkable display with all the time spent on capitol hill in a democraticled house that the central issue here, the behavior of those massively powerful economically and politically titans of technology wasnt even discussed. How could that be . Look, lou, this is one of the most important conversations we can be having within the conservative movement right now. When it comes to big tech, there are many on the right including a lot of people here in d. C who say we simply have to sit on our hands and do nothing. Faced with impassive accumulation and abuse of power, they take an ostrichlike approach. I dont think thats right, and there are some in d. C. That are standing up. The Trump Administration this week took a big step in the right direction, they filedded a petition at the fcc on section 230 which is going to look at some of the special protections that these social media platforms have enjoyed above and beyond the First Amendment rights that you have here and that i have. Lou watching jim jordan and matt gaetz and andy biggs and a handful of others, they raised a voice in defense of our constitution and conservatives who are being crushed by each one of the people that you saw there with whether its amazon and jeff bezos, facebook and mark zuckerberg, you know, it is just stunning to watch what they are doing. And almost without comment from the national media. Which should be standing up for, you would think, of all things freedom of expression. 230, section 230 to protect these Technology Companies, these social Media Companies in particular from liability for their users. That has become an artifact, has it not . It is a relic of a moment that no longer exists on our history. Why should there be special protection and immunity for these massively powerful Technology Companies who are swinging that power in the direction of the conservatives with seemingly every opportunity they get . Whats interesting is theres actually bipartisan support for this. Vice President Biden has said that section 230 should be revocked immediately. Section 230 was passed in the 1990s to deal with a limited content moderation, that nascent web sites like prodigy e and compuserve were engaged in. Flash forward 20 years, today looks nothing like it did in the 990s. Courts have taken section 230 and given it expansive reading, so the Trump Administration appropriately petitioned the fcc asking us about rules that clarify the scope of section 230 so we can hue more closely to the text and the purpose of that law. Lou the text, the purpose and the conclusive action, it seems to me, should be, brendan, get the hell rid of it. Just get rid of it altogether. Why should there be any immunity for any reason in this should be, if anything else, protection from them for every american citizen. Theres a lot of straw man arguments about preserving the status quo. One said its the law that created the internet. We dont have section 230 in europe, these web sites still exist in europe with. Not right. There is no First Amendment right to section 230. So i think theres plenty of paths where we can promote more speech. Thats what 230s about. The law itself talks about promoting diversity of use and empowering users to engage in their own content monotoring filter, i think we should let people make their own decisions about what they want to see online. Lou what is the mood and the appetite of the fcc to, as you evaluate this and interpret it, what is the likely time frame for a decision and how quickly will we see that . The petition came in this week. It was an interesting, sort of academic petition. We will move to put that out for public comment, everyone can participate, and i hope we move expeditiously from that point. Three ideas, transparency, accountability and user em pa powermentment empowerment. We have a rule in place that says if youre going to manipulate traffic, block traffic, throttle traffic, lawful content, you need to be transparent. If you violate that, you can be held accountable. Right now big tech a black box. Lets let people know whats going on when they post these things on the internet. Lou ive got an addendum for that. If one of these firms manipulates or block traffic or in any way shows any favor to one political view or another, it should be shut down forthwith. That is, that effort to do so. And that power should reside with the fcc. Brendan carr, great to have you with us. Thanks, come back soon. Well be talking about this for some time, i can tell. Up next, nasa launches a usa mission to mars. But a member of the bush family is helping the chinese in their own space venture to the red planet. Well tell you all about it.

Lou breaking news now, china gettine help in the space races from a member of the bush family. Neil bush, the younger brother of george w. Bush, is the cochairman of a chinese Real Estate Firm thats partnering with the communist partys principal producer of space and military equipment. Ing Senate Republicans also continuing their investigation into joe bidens son, hunter biden, and his Business Practices in china. Well be taking all of this up later in the broadcast with the hudson institutes michael pillsbury. Also breaking tonight, the fbi and department of justice found 29 fisa Court Applications during obamagate had, quote, inaccuracies but not enough to affect how the court ruled. This add adds to the 17 errors or omissions the fbi made in applications to spy on carter page and the trump campaign. A reminder the fisa court has approved more than 99 of all the warrant withs sought in its 42year history. Doing important work for the nation, dont you think . Well, joining us tonight is congressman andy biggs. Hes chairman of the House Freedom caucus, a member of the House Judiciary Committee who was at the hearing with attorney general barr. First of all, great to have you with us, congressman. Lets start with finding out that a member of the bush family is doing business with the chinese on a level that i find outrageous. Hunter biden, the same situation. And, in fact, its corruption, it is, it is driven by the trading on their fathers and in one instance brothers standing as a public servant. Its outrageous, its suck. Ing that its permitted sickening that its permitted. I agree with you, lou. China has this advanced rocket telemetry, deepwater navy and middle class stealing our intellectual property is a direct result of the washington elite establishment thats been in place for 20 some odd years dealing with the chinese and giving them this information and these opportunities. Thats a huge problem, and this is just one more example of that. Lou yeah. And dont leave out the people who fund their corruption yes. Lou that is, of course, k street, the chamber of commerce, the business round table representing the interest and pleasures of this big Business Establishment and, of course, wall street with sloshing fortunes around in pursuit of further profit. Its disgusting, its appalling. I have to say i was encouraged by you, by matt gaetz, but jim jordan and others to take on, to take on the issue before attorney general william barr which is the absolute despicable conduct. It is as if every democratic district in the country sends the biggest low lives and liars that they can find in their communities to represent them. It is outrageous what these people stand the for. Yeah. Lou, it was despicable. And, you know, you had everything from a Barbara Boxer moment where you had a member saying i cant believe you would treat a member of congress with such lack of respect after they had just pummeled this guy, wouldnt let him answer questions, maltreated him, misrepresented him. And it was, quite frankly, it was an oldstyle soviet style of hearing. And it was reprehensible, and we were in there trying to allow him to make opportunities to respond to them. They didnt want that. We, you know, bill barr sat there stoically and patiently, and when he asked for a bathroom break, he had jerry nadler didnt want to give him the bathroom break. Theyd ask him a question, and they would not give him a minute to even answer the question. They would say were going to reclaim our time which is that is not the usual method of doing that. Lou i have to tell you, as i watched that, do you know what my takeaway was though . I was really very angry with you republicans yeah. Lou and with paul ryan, the speaker of the house, who actually sacrificed 40 seats and turned over control to a left wing that is as obnoxious and inept as one could imagine is and corrupt. This is disgusting, what the republican if party did to good people like attorney general barr. And i dont, by the way, i dont see the fire amongst you republicans. A handful of you, yes. But it looks to me like the same just or sordid nonchalance about Critical Issues and a fight for the soul of this country in november. Its as if much of your party doesnt give a damn how that turns out. Am i wrong about that . I pray youre wrong because we have got to fight. I know theres plenty of people fighting with me, but sometimes we look back and think theyre behind us, all right, but theyre way behind us. We have got to take this back, lou. If there was nothing that we have seen your first story about the china intervention, that is part of this uniparty thats here. Youve got to fight that and get through that, and we saw the way they treated bill barr and the way they are trying to suppress President Trump and his agenda. Those types of things are actually going to lead to defeat. We have got to recognize that President Trumps the standard bearer, hes going to get out the vote, and hes going to be the guy that we have our wagons hitched to. That is where you have to be. And thats the argument. So we have leaders who want to undermine the president and we cant stand for that. And weve got to keep fighting for the ageneral da he ran on and, quite frankly, we ran on including people who dont really want to support him. Weve got to take this back. We have got to talk this back. Its a crisis moment. Lou yeah. It is a cry us moment, and its crisis moment, and its my judgment that the president will be reelected. And i dont know whats going to happen to the house and to the senate, because those are some of the most callow and, i i think, cowardly people ive ever seen in politics, and ive been covering politics for a very long time. To see the low lives of the democrats and the gutless wonders of the rinos and the republican party, its a hell of a, its a hell of a situation in the nations capital. Thank god weve got this president and a handful of folks like you and jordan and gaitz to reed the way. Appreciate it. Congressman andy biggs. Thanks, lou.
