FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight January 29, 2015

A lawful immigrant who is here, a green card holder, or a citizen or a approximate person who entered the country unlawfully. The right to work is one shared by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here. Certainly if someone is here regardless of status, i would prefer that they would be participating in the workplace than not participating in the workplace. Lou well take up the highly controversy stance with billionaire media mogul zuckerman will be joining us. The president refusing to meet with israels prime minister. But they have no problem hosting a delegation of the Muslim Brotherhood. The white house now has an unlikely ally. Aljazeera america. They dont like the phrase radical islamist anymore than mr. Obama. Aljazeera going further banning the word terrorist from their air. Well be taking that up. Former ambassador john bolton to weigh in on the politically correct word play and propaganda campaigns. Speaking of specious word play the white house claiming that a prison swap between jordan and the Islamic State bears absolutely no resemblance to the president s trade of five taliban terrorists for Sergeant Bowe bergdahl. Absurdity reaching new heights as Deputy Press Secretary eric schultz said the taliban was an armed insurgency not terrorists like the Islamic State. But we are compelled to point out that president doesnt believe the Islamic State is islamic just because its in their name, but then theres no sense in one losing ones head over a name. We begin with israel. To israeli soldiers. A un peace killed. The latest attack comes less than a day after syrian rockets hit the golan heights. Former Us Ambassador for the united nation, john bolton. Good to be here. Lou lets first go to the issue of israel now under attack. It seems as if the frequency is beginning to pick up. I think it is. And i think it is a reflection of the middle east as a whole descending into chaos. What was once civil war in lebanon has become civil war in syria. What used to be syria and iraq have disintegrated. Yemen has disintegrated. Theyre now rising against jordan and the other monarchies on the other peninsulas. Egypt ask is struggling. All of this is bad news for israel. Lou struggling with the Muslim Brotherhood which is being hosted by our state Department Even as this president shuns president netanyahu. You cant make this up. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. Hamas is a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood. The state department is can only be characterized as appeasement. If you make nice with your enemies theyll eat you last. It wont work that way. Lou at what point does appeasement become truly a supportive role for this administration, an alliance . Well, i think its kind of a legitimate legitimization. It goes, well, beyond semantics. This is providing Political Support and aid and comfort for people who are terrorists and supporters of terrorists, that are advocates of the United States and our allies. Lou when a spokesman for the president of the United States can dismiss any parallel between a swap by this country for bo bergdahl, five taliban terrorists and jordans swap with the Islamic State for one of its pilots. Its precisely the same thing, and theyre both mistakes. You know, it used to be our policy, we didnt negotiate with terrorists. The reason for that, its very straightforward. If you buy hostages back youre simply creating a market in hostages. You may free one or two. Youll encourage the kidnapping of others. Thats what the jordanians have done. They feared for the stability of their monarchy. We did something worse. We gave someone who will be prosecuted for desertion and gave away enemies of the United States. What underlies this tongue twisting at the white house, they want to make a deal with the taliban. They want to say when the taliban takes over in afghanistan again that we can deal with them. That we can have diplomatic relationships with them as with cuba and iran. If theyre just an armed insurrection its a lot easier. Lou the president , it could be sensibly argued, if not correctly argued, going back on us Foreign Policy and specific bilateral relationships by at least a decade and in some cases a half century. This cant be coincidental cant it. No, i think this is the president s true ideology. He views americas presence in the world not as a benign force. Not as a force for stability. As a big part of the problem. Our strength, our assertiveness, our success provokeses this animosity. The only thing to do is make america less powerful. Its a radical view. Its common to the universities. Now someone who shares that view is president. Lou great to have you here. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has agreed to testify for a second time on the terrorist attack in which four americans were killed. That according to congressman elijah investing this. What difference does it make . They will allow 22 officials with knowledge of that attack to be in the committee. Were coming back. Stay with us. The president s choice to lead the departmentdepartment of justice gives congress a truly shocking opinion of the rights of Illegal Immigrants and rights of american citizens. Billionaire zuckerman is our guest next. Lou attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch today defended president obamas executive amnesty fiat saying Illegal Immigrants have a quote, right and obligation to work in this country. The same as american citizens. Joining me now billionaire publisher real estate magnate executive chairman, mort zuckerman. Mort, good to see you. Good to be here. Lou how could she possibly draw an analogue between the rights to work specifically of american citizens and that of those in this country illegally . Well, i think, frankly, i dont find that leap of faith surprising from this administration. From their point of view, its just all politics and it has nothing to do with the values of this country or the legal rights of itwhat we hope will be for people who come to this country. Lou are you surprised that the republicans arent absolutely bringing the hammer down on those comments . No, im not surprised. The republicans are doing what, unfortunately, the democrats are doing but from a slightly different direction. Its all politics. It gets completely wiped out. Lou is it politics or corporatist politics . One can understand some of the motivations on the left, the political alliances that have been created, but the rest of it for the Democratic Party and the republican alike, what could be nothing more than corporatist politics, if you will. I suppose. I have to say, i dont think thats the driving force behind this. Lou what is . I think its the question of who will get which of the votes. And who will get the quote, unquote immigrant vote or the former immigrant vote. Its that simple. Lou were watching a pander grab from the two political parties. Thats a play weve seen it before. This is not act one or two. Its act 32. Lou theres no gap on these two parties with the issue of israel right now. This president in talking with former ambassador john bolton, hes talking about israel as if it has now been isolated by this administration. Do you see it that way . Yes, to a degree. Not totally. To a degree. In an issue like this, where Israels National Security is at issue. Lou if not their very existence. Yes. And this is where the israelis have to respond. This Administration Just overlooks that central issue facing the israelis and takes a position, which obviously will undermine what the israelis are trying to accomplish. Lou and we just watched the democratic part specifically the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee among others, kowtow to a new line by the president which is that he doesnt want new sanctions and senator bob menendez giving him until the 24th of next month, in which to of march rather in which to negotiate something undefined with the iranians. Well, yes. Menendez, i have to say i give him a lot of stars on the calendar for his guts. Because he was up there and stood up against the president of his own party. Lou right. On a major issue. Lou right. So i think at this point hes probably trying to cover his political front and back to a degree. At least he was out there on this issue. Lou yeah, i give him credit for having the guts to say basically the statements hes heard from this administration, they were talking points that were crafted. I think hes exactly right. I think hes exactly wrong in not adding those sanctions. What is your judgment . Look, this is the key issue what are we going to do visavis iran . The deal is at least to the extent i know anything about it is such a weak deal with so many holes in it. We wont do what we should in that transaction, which is to put a maximum amount of pressure with iran to hold back from their Weapons Development and who theyre targeting those weapons to. Were not doing that. Because well get a deal. Theres no such thing as a deal. You have to do something that defends. If youre the israelis, their national interests. And if theyre our allies, we have to back them up to a degree. This is serious stuff for them. Youre talking about Nuclear Weapons sooner or later threatening israel and iran. Lou the ambassador of the United States saying add up the centrifuges that that will be left. There are no other purposes for a centrifuge than for the process of creating the fuel for a nuclear weapon. Youre right. There can be no doubt about that. Except, you can play games with all these numbers. Which happens to confuse the public. Anyone who looks at this, has exactly that conclusion. No other way to interpret whats going on. Lou can the public be more confused with an administration that finds itself in agreement with aljazeera with the words radical islamist, islamist, and now terrorism . I mean thats their principle ally on these mind control word games. Its really kind of i wont say disappointing any longer. Because weve been long past that. Lou been at it too long. The problem is, these issues are so difficult to convey to the public at large. You know, they think they can get away with playing these games. And to some extent, theyre getting away with it. Thats the part thats so upsetting. Nobody can doubt what iran is about. Everybody who knows that region of the country with any kind of intelligence on what the iranians are doing, knows what theyre about. Not to ignore that is an absolute default of absolutely. Lou ignoring a military pact between russia and iran. Ignoring the sponsorship of terrorist organizations by iran. Ignoring their role in the war with iraq on the part of the United States a third of our casualties there attributed to the involvement of iran. Yet, this administration insists on proceeding. Well, you know, in a way, im a bit at a loss for words. And you know how rare that is in my lifetime. Lou i do. I do. Because what youre saying is so manifest in its clarity. Somehow this administration is playing whatever game theyre playing and allowing a lot of this stuff to proceed. Its threatening that whole region. We have enormous interest in that region. Its going to be undermined by an administration that is absolutely willing to make these things happen politically. Lou mort, thank you very much for being with us. Time for a look at our online poll results. We ask if you believe that either Political Party adequately represents your personal values beliefs, and views. 84 said you do not. Be sure to vote in tonights poll. Do you believe republican senators should vote against lorettaLoretta Lynchs comments because she believes us citizens have the same rights to jobs as do Illegal Immigrants. Cast your votes at loudobbs. Com. The maker of the drone that crashed on the white house last night. Will enforce a zone on washington dc. Well tell you all about that coming up. Lou a few comments now on something that seemed to me to be missing from the confirmation hearing for Loretta Lynch today. In her opening statement, lynch talked about her priorities. Should i be confirmed as attorney general . My highest priorities will continue to be to ensure the safety of all of our citizens, to protect the most vulnerable among us from crime and abuse, and to strengthen the vital relationships between the brave Law Enforcement officers and the communities theyre entrusted to serve. In a world of complex and evolving threats protecting the American People from terrorism must remain the primary mission of todays department of justice. Lou lynch went on to list other priorities. Human trafficking child exploitation. Cyber security. All appropriate. But in my opinion, she missed a critical priority, if not the major priority. The one goal that has to be accomplished if she or anyone is to achieve those other priorities. She didnt even refer to or even in the vaguest firms to talk about holders abject and the officer of attorney general. Mr. Holders conduct has been scandalous, literally which has led to the dishonor of becoming the first sitting cabinet member ever to be held in contempt of congress. There were signs that things might be different under lynch, but only small signs. I am concerned well, let me first. Let me stipulate. Youre not eric holder, are you . No, im not sir. So no one is suggesting that you are. But, of course, attorney general holders record is heavy on our minds now. Lou heavy, as it should be on all our minds. Nor do i believe that Loretta Lynch deserves a vote of confirmation simply because she is not eric holder. Too many senators, republicans as well as democrat in my view seem to dismiss holders deplorable run as attorney general. The fast and furious operation. Spying on our reporters. Trying terror suspects in federal court. Ignoring clear conflict of interest issues. And the irs targeting conservative groups. An aggressive investigation by the attorney general himself in the Michael Brown shooting case. The ongoing refusal to enforce immigration laws. And the administrates use of the pretext of Justice Department investigations in order to Stonewall Congress on benghazi fast and furious, the list goes on and on has gone on for years now. And it is a valid question whetherynch deserves confirmation at all. Given her failure to even mention cleaning up what has become a very dirty department of justice. And her view that there is no difference between american citizens and Illegal Immigrants when to the right to have a job . Republicans will probably may vote to confirm her. But, in my view, they will be affirming much of what they should be standing against. In these early tests of the Republican Leadership on capitol hill, washington seems at times to be little better at bothering with respect the law and regard for principle. I hope things improve dramatically. And quickly. Our quotation of the evening. Mark twain, what said, citizenship is what makes a republican. Monarchs can get along without it. Were coming right back. A south american president accused of conspiring with iran to conceal a terrorist attack. And the prosecutor who made those claims ends up mysteriously dead. Does the scope of the argentina scandal extend to the United States and washington dc . Thats next. And its not a ticket youre upgrading its your entire operations, from domestic to international. Which means you need help from a whole team of advisors. From workforce strategies to Tech Solutions and a thousand other things. So you call pwc. The right people to get the extraordinary done. Ive been called a control freak. I like to think of myself as more of a control. Enthusiast. Mmm, a perfect 177degrees. And thats why this road warrior rents from national. I can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. And i dont have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. And i dont. And national lets me choose any car in the aisle. Control. Its so, whats the word . Sexy. Go national. Go like a pro. Welcome back to showdown im jerry rice here discussing the big race between the tortoise and the hare. My guest is stephanie branton. Jerry, im going bunny. Shocker. Not really. You see, the hares thoracic limbs allow for greater extension and elongated strides. Look for the hare to leverage this advantage. Ok. Lou some of the top stories that we are following tonight a new report by the Congressional Budget Office says it will cost taxpayers 50,000 for each person who is insured under obamacare. 50,000. That is using a generous estimate that 27 Million People will be insured under obamacare which by the way leaves 30 million americans uninsured. The Treasury Department today predicting another 6 million americans will face obamacare penalty because they dont have insurance. And president obama delivering a there will tribute to defense secretary chuck hagel, and amanda pushed out of his job two months ago but he stuck around. The confirmation hearing for his expected successor ashton carter, the hearing will be until next wednesday. Chuck hagels goodbye may not be as long as the fourmonth audios, it is certainly more awkward. Argentine pro
