Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20141217

Predictably unhappy about the judges ruling today, responding quote, the decision is unfounded and the court had no basis to issue such an order. The courts analysis of the legality of the executive actions is flatly wrong, end quote. In other words, the obama view is straightforwardly authoritarian, maintaining that Neither Congress nor our Judicial Branch of government can interfere with the obama imperrial presidency. It confers de facto amnesty and comes as nearly half of the states in the nation are in Court Challenging the white houses abuse in their judgment of executive power. Oklahomas attorney general Scott Prewitt among the plaintiffs and he joins us on the broadcast. Also tonight, president obama angered much of america last week with his highly offensive charges of racism against americans, our society, and our culture. This isnt going to be solved overnight. This is something that is deeply rooted in our society. Its deeply rooted in our history. When youre dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias, in any society, you got to have vigilance, but recognize that its going to take some time. Lou and what is deeply rooted in this white house . It appears that a once centrist president bill clinton is moving to the left in order to support his wifes president ial ambitions. President clinton not only agreeing with president obama, but then suggesting americans may not even know they are racist. Well be taking up the president ial racist sweepstakes, talking with the wall street journals jason riley. And the sony hackers turned the Hollywood Studio upside down and inside out. Releasing all sorts of confidential digital data and communications and promising a Christmas Gift of more the same. Those hackers are now threatening, however, a 9 11style attack on theaters that screened the seth rogen and james franco comedy called the interview, the fictional story that depicts assassination attempt on north Korean Leader kim jongun. The hackers wrote, quote who are these hackers and can they be stopped . Well be taking all of it up tonight. We begin with the fight against president obamas executive amnesty on a controversial appointment. The Senate Confirmed texas prosecutor Sarah Saldana to head the immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Saldana stated she believes mr. Obama does have the authority to defer deportation for millions of Illegal Immigrants. Our first guest authored a bill passed in the house that challenges the administrations fiat on immigration. Joining us congressman ted yoho, a member of the House Foreign Affairs and congressional committees. First, congratulations getting your bill passed. What is, however, necessary to stop the president s executive order that confers de facto amnesty. Lou, i appreciate you having me on. This is something we have to get back to the rule. While the president doesnt have the authority, it will be proven that he doesnt have the authority to do this, according to article 1 section 8 of the constitution. That power solely in the branch of the house where naturalization laws are made. The president has overstepped it, in fact, if you go back to the 20 or 22 times he said he did not have the authority to do this, and hes the constitutional lawyer, and i agree 100 with him. When he signed his executive amnesty on november 20th. He said he is changing the law. He cannot do that. And wind up losing this. Lou the court, the District Court judge today, deciding that his executive fiat was unconstitutional. Exactly. Lou on two grounds. The reality is thats got to play out in court. And its interesting to me at least that the white house immediately dismissed the judge saying its flatly wrong. This president is highly authoritarian. He really doesnt believe that you and the congress have, if you will, coequal status with him nor obviously, the Judicial Branch either . I agree. That was the purpose of this bill. We saw this action coming back in may and june, and we had this bill prepared to drop and introduce to the congress on november 20th. It was already vetted. We had outside attorneys like bruce fein that was assistant attorney general under ronald reagan. Along with other legal scholars, and said the president is clearly overstepping the rule of law, and that rule of law is our constitution. And if our president and our administration doesnt follow the rule of law, why should anybody else with his policies, hes amplified and created a Global Policy of unenforcement thats going to make the situation worse. And if you really, really want to fix immigration, wait to the new people that have been brought into the congress into the peoples house and the people spoke loud and clear, they dont like the direction theyre going, unilateralism and give us time to fix the immigration process. I dont know anybody in congress on either side against responsible Immigration Reform, and we have measures that we want to introduce at the first of the year to start with this. But to do what hes done is damaging to america and its damaging to our constitution, and if president obama believes in the constitution as a constitutional scholar, hell stop this action and fix it the proper way. Lou congressman, hes made it clear what he believes in and what he doesnt. Were going to get you on our side where we stand. Lou its not so clear, if i may say, congressman, because your leadership had the opportunity with four bills reported out of Judiciary Committee that john boehner could have easily taken the lead for the Republican Party with that legislation and driven Immigration Reform to a logical, rational conclusion and solution in the national interests. He chose not to. Ive supported congressman goodelattes bills. Why in the world is your leadership not acting . You know you would have to ask mr. Boehner on that. Lou id be delighted to. Do you have the sense as to why hes not . Theres so much contention in there, so many people want to start with Border Security and send out the message that we have to start with Border Security and enforcing the laws already on the books. To put more laws that this president and this administrations not following, that goes back to the constitution, article 2, section 3 that the President Shall take care to execute faithfully the laws of the land. And you know, the thing with the omnibus bill we passed, weve been fighting on shortterm resolutions, the crs. Lou i understand, and i think you all did exactly the right thing. It was absolutely irrational thing to do. What im asking you is what is your sense and the other members sense what the leadership is going to do . Weve heard years of a lot of talk and not much effective action by the republican majority in the house joined now by the senate. Do you believe can you carry this to a reasonable, rational conclusion . Absolutely. This is a new congress, the American People spoke, they handed us the baton. They expect us to show leadership. That was one of the reasons why i voted on this bill because now from the first of the year when we swear in as the new congress, we can start fixing these problems that have been plaguing our country instead of doing Crisis Management with another cr over a short period of time. We can focus on the problems that nation has put off or congress put off. Immigration has been broke for over 30 years, and for the president to run ahead and do something unconstitutionally, illegally is not going fix it, and if he cares about solving this problem, hell wait for the new congress. Lou there you go again, all quit worrying what hes going to do and focus on what youre going to do. Trying to be very polite about this. Lou dont waste that politeness here. What our audience wants is straight talk. Youre the fellow to give it to them. Thank you very much, congressman. Thank you for the opportunity to be on. Lou well be talking with the attorney general of the great state of oklahoma, scott pruitt next. Jeb bush raising the prospects of another bush presidency. The former Florida Governor tweeted today, quote but a reminder, this is not the first time that the governor has stoked 2016 talking so in march. He released a new book on immigration sparking allegations, flipflopped on Immigration Reform in the path to citizenship that set off controversy which caused him to withdraw a bit. Led to remarks in april that Illegal Immigrants came to the United States out of a, quote, act of love. Remember that . And a new fox poll shows that American Voters prefer mitt romney over jeb bush. Romney 19 to bushs 10 . Governor chris christie, Mike Huckabee and rand paul rounding out the top five with 8 support right now, each. Were coming right back. Stay with us. Lou the putin economy is crumbling as Oil Prices Plummet and the ruble crashes. President obama on the verge of signing more sanctions against russia. Colonel ralph peters tells us whether our commander in chief has u heres a question for you when electricity is generated with natural gas instead of todays most used source, how much are co2 emissions reduced . Up to 30 . 45 . 60 . The answer is. Up to 60 less. And thats a big reason why the u. S. Is a world leader in reducing co2 emissions. Take the energy quiz round 2. Energy lives here. Lou the taliban storming a military run school in peshawar, pakistan. The terrorist attack left at least 141 people dead. The majority of the victims, children. This follows yesterdays deadly terrorist attack in sydney which left two people dead there. Joining us to talk about all of these developments and much more, fox news strategic analyst Lieutenant Colonel ralph peters. Good to have you. Lou. Lou the president s policy, to what degree is it contributing or influencing this spate of terrorist attacks . Thats impossible to answer because our president doesnt have a foreign policy. He has an ever shifting set of prejudices and compromises that you cannot cobble together into a coherent policy. But you know, when i look at that attack in peshawar, pakistan, a place where ive been, by the way. A filthy little place for which i have a certain affection. Whats happening there with those six gunmen going into the school where they knew, they knew the children, the sons of senior military leaders, government officials, and they kill 132 children in cold blood, just in hot temper and kill their teachers. And lou, the takeaway for me is those terrorists who did that are the people to whom Dianne Feinstein want to accord the full rights of american citizens and doesnt want to water board them. Our president , our government, by and large doesnt want to understand how serious this is. Lou this is also the same taliban that the United States military overwhelmed the military, special operations and the cia, and the clandestine forces overwhelmed in the first year of the war against afghanistan, succeeded incredibly, and then we fritted it all away over the course of the next little over a decade. It is the same taliban that this administration negotiated its withdrawal in very hushed and quiet tones and terms, but nonetheless negotiated with, and the same taliban that has, well, presides over all of those poppy fields and respective war lords who maintain them, which we never destroyed when we were in afghanistan. This is the same taliban, as you say, accorded respect and recognition by the u. S. Government. This is madness these are the people that Hillary Clinton wants to respect. There is a split, a difference between the pakistani and Afghan Taliban in terms of their targets, but their techniques and goals are fundamentally the same. Violence in the service of allah. These are the enemies that Hillary Clinton wants us to respect. Lou empathize with. I feel it. Lou i wonder if shes empathizing today with the taliban and massacre of children . I wonder. Just dont deprive them sleep, and were all okay. Lou, this is such a tragic situation. The taliban can do this, and the left in the west doesnt really react to it because they dont know what to do. Just to add on, this i think the taliban made a very big mistake in doing this today, because for the first time they really hit home in the families of the guys who do have power in pakistan, the military, and i think theres going to be some dead taliban after this is all over. Lou they were trying kill them before as you know, and with some degree of success. The reality is that pakistan is absolutely split, its Intelligence Services in league with the taliban in large measure as the military seeks to at least did seek secular control over the government. The reality is the United States doesnt have, because we can no longer pretend that we did have a military solution to what is a pakistan problem, an afghanistan problem, and iraq and Islamic State problem. The pakistani military, they are sewing and reaping the world wind. They can control hitler. Where the pakistanis thought they can control the taliban. They sponsored them. They didnt create them but grew them and find that cobras dont make good pets. I think the pakistanis now, the Intelligence Services are scared. Theyve got to react. Lou my thought for the little darlings in islamabad is this, start thinking about how you should have conducted yourself for the past decade and let the little darlings in the pentagon and in the white house start thinking about how, what policies can be crafted, that will ensure that more of the snakes attack one another. Colonel, good to have you with us. Thank you, lou. Lou colonel, ralph peters. Time for a look at online poll results, we asked whether you think the republicans will try to stop the de facto amnesty. 54 of you said yes, a majority yet a slim one at that. Vote tonight, our question is do you believe the nation will reject a bush v. Clinton matchup for the white house for 2016. Cast your vote at loudobbs. Com. American consumers are reaping benefits from global drop in oil prices. U. S. Households this year on track to spend the least amount of money on gasoline in the past 11 years, and next year, the average household expected to pocket an extra 550 because of the continuing declines in gasoline prices. Up next, president obama awarded for habit of distorting the truth for a second year in a row. A row. We will bring you his honor, dad, i know i havent said this often enough, but thank you. Thank you mom for protecting my future. A row. We will bring you his honor, thank you for being my hero and my dad.

Lou coming up, 24 states suing the president s administration. One of the people is Oklahoma Attorney general scott pruitt. A few comments for the distortion of the statement for obfuscation rather than illumination. Politifacts lie of the year was conferred upon the president and his lie, you remember this one, if you like your plan, you can keep it. This year, the Washington Post fact checker of their own was asked about the biggest of the biggest lies of the year, and hard pressed of what is a long list of falsehoods by politicians in both parties but settled on one. By the president , of course. One of the major things was barack obama saying that hes not specifically referring to isis when he was referred to a jv team. Lou glen castler referring to new Yorker Interview which the president said quote, i think the analogy we use around here sometimes and i think is accurate is if a jv team putting on lakers uniforms, that doesnt make them kobe bryant. I always thought that was just penetrating. The interviewer went onto say, quote, that jv team took over fallujah, and the president responded i understand. Months later after the Islamic State took mosul and large swamps of northwestern iraq, the president tried to claim he didnt have egg on his face. I wasnt specifically referring to isil. I said that regionally there were a whole series of organizations that were focused primarily locally. Werent focused on homeland because a lot of us, when we think about terrorism, the model is osama bin laden, and 9 11. Lou see what i mean about obfuscation, and despite all of the blowback over the president s jv remark, the president couldnt bring himself to acknowledgment to actually name and call out radical islamist terrorists for what they are. Today, the Pakistani Taliban carried out one of the worst terrorist attacks in that countrys bloody history. The taliban bursting into a school and massacring 132 children, 9 staff members. The Obam
