Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20240713

More frustration. When Senate Majority lead for Mitch Mcconnell announce there will be no vote on that landmark trade agreement. Saying that senate will take it up after an impeach. Trial. We will not be doing u. S. Mca in the senate. Between now and the end of next week. That will have to come up in all livelihood right after the trial is finished in the senate. What can you say . Thats right, the house today announcing two charges against President Trump one for abuse of power. The other for or instruction of justice. Both charges appear to in a reasonable person at least as weak as meaningless a massive waste of time and taxpayer money. President trump provided this reaction on the white house south lawn. The democrats they couldnt find very much because they put up two articles that frankly are very weak. Washington is swirling with more swamp talk of impeachment trade deals you name it. Attorney general william barr once again ripping in to the conclusions of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Barr questioning how horowitz could find no documentary or testimonial evidence of political bias and well almost two years of investigation. In the fbi e probe of the 2016 Trump Campaign. These irregularity and admission who are not satisfactorily explained and i think that inner ifs bad faith. He said is people gave me an explanation and i didnt find anything to contradict it so i dont have a basis for saying that there was improper motive. But he hasnt decided the issue of improper the moteive. Have you . No. And the the attorney general also saying he thinks that 2016 Trump Campaign was are you ready . Spied upon. Clearly spied upon. Thats what Electronics Surveillance is. I think wiring people up to go in and talk to people and make recordings of their conversation is spy. I think our nation was turned on its hid for three years. I think based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned it and hyped by irresponsible press. The question really is, what was the agenda after the election that kept them prezzinging ahead after their case collapsed . And joining us tonight White House Press secretary stephany with reaction to what has been a. Very busy but very strange day in washington, d. C. Stephanie grate to have you with us first the the president reaction to these two charges which have already in point of a fact been rebutted by just common sense and the evidence. Absolutely. Lou, he said it as he was walking out to marine one, democrats having nothing, and the two article of impeachment that they put forth today are just grasping of straw on instruction of congress that means they didnt play nice and were angry and abuse of power i would say that dems have been abusing power for months to be honest. Only evidence they have are transcripts that president he himself produced showing that, you know, no wrong doing. So today we expected article of impeachment i did find it interesting that only two they were able to produce were, were these two. Pnches these two and when you look at it all in material of on obstructing congress all president was doing was seeking and for himself and for the for the members of hiS Administration their legal rights and where did you find those in . Court and that takes time. Its preposterous what democrats have put up as these two charges. Absolutely. The due process that was afforded this president in many this sham impeachment is less than somebody who had a traffic ticket would be afforded. So, of course, we were not going to participate that in that we said that over and over and over again as you all know they were having secret meetings in basement they kept change rules and bringing partisan witnesses forward. We have absolutely no due process here and they have no intention of giving the president a fair shake. So, of course, coming up with on instruction of congress i think is a little bit absurd. I think that American People know it is a little bit absurd, in fact, theres a new poll out today showing it that impeach. Is over 50 that the American Public are against impeachment at this point. They have overplayed their hand i really believe that here. And those, those polls on impeachment and who, opposing impeachment have now for weeks been running against impeachment and for the president. Let turn to u. S. Mechanics ca which the president referred tos a silver lining. I think he was being partly facetious but theres great truth in what hes saying. To have that pus mca deliver today by the democrats he has to be satisfying to white house to administration and lays the basis to move ahead and actually show something for 2019. Led by this president absolutely. Of course we were so pleased that u. S. Mca finally got the attention that it deserved today. This is a process and something that weve been calling on for weekses and week as you all know. I did find that timing and the stark differences in the the two announcements to be very interesting you know she had six, seven of her democrat colleagues behind her for the impeachment and then, you know, near moments out there went out with a entire swath of democrats proud announcing and to be honest i think its been there are democrats trouble in their communities and they need to go home to say they did something so theyre trying to take credit few and this was spearheaded by president it is a promise he made as he was running it is a problem he has has seen through to the end and were very thrilled this happened todays. Lets turn to, lets turn to william barr saying point blank it appears that this was a bad faith investigation. The gun by the fbi, he is extraordinarily critical and when not critical dismissive of these efforts to go after the president. It is pure fraud against the the president of the United States. And everything that is revealed just schismly reenforces that reality. Absolutely. I couldnt agree more with everything that attorney general barr said today but ive got to tell you hao when i was briefed yesterday on report i found it to be chilling as an american citizen. Not only was this president and campaign spied upon. But the fact that documents were illegally altered by an fbi attorney. That is unbelievable to me. The fact that as you said surveillance was used, and people kept finding evidence to the contrary that show president in campaign were doing nothing wrong and that was hidden. That cannot continue and we all look forward to the Durham Report and what will come out there that i think a lot of people will be held accountable at the top of the fbi at that time. You know one of the things i would like to do is request to barr on on the baseless investigation that was started by the deep state radical dems. And if we can play that with william barr talking about when you analyze what has been the conclusion it is that this entire process was baseless from the beginning. Here question go. I think when you step back here and say what was had this based on . Its not sufficient. Remember, there was and e never has been any evidence of collusion and yet had this campaign and president S Administration has been dominated by this investigation into turns out to be completely baseless. Steph any you get the last word here. I just wonder if the media now will take next year two years to put a much attention into the fact that the president did absolutely nothing wrong and this has been just a false narrative for three years that they have been fanning flames of. I wonder theyre going admit that president didding nothing wrong and campaign did nothing wrong and hes doing really good thingses for country thats what im going to be hope powerful for. Yeah i would think that they would begin early eating their words that theyve spewed over the last few years. So that they have a head start on more to come. Stephanie thank you so much. Stephanie White House Press secretary. Up next Inspector General Michael Horowitz well hes got hes trying at least to knock down the notion that his report clears james comey of wrong doing. That the claim all of thats right james comey well that up and more with kim here and more as well on latest chapter in the radical dems impeachment mess. Well talk to house minoritied leader Kevin Mccarthy after these quick messages were coming right back. Stay with us. Lets be honest, quitting smoking is freaking hard. Like quitting every monday hard. Quitting feels so big. So, try making it smaller. And youll be surprised at how easily starting small. Can lead to something big. Start stopping with nicorette beyond the routine checkups. Beyond the notsoroutine cases. Comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. All working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gigspeed network. Because beyond technology. There is human ingenuity. Every day, comcast business is helping businesses go beyond the expected. To do the extraordinary. Take your business beyond. Joining us want to is Republican House minority leader Kevin Mccarthy. You know, i have to say congressman, thats an extraordinary decision on the part of cnn even by its standards to do that. But political bias being absent in, in the origins of this, this assault on the presidency is stunning to me. I look at it as a pure whitewash that the very inception of the Inspector General report. How could you not find bias in what in what fbi and a the Justice Department and even in international agencies, obviously, conspire to do. When you look at this report youre 100 right. Look at how many times they were found that they did something wrong more than 17 major items in there and remember they always went one direction. They always wept against this president never for him. They spied on this president unheard of in this country. This is the close pest we have ever come toking having a cue in this country. And we have to make sure this can never happen again i dont care what side youre on. But what they have done by being a Law Enforcement agency inside america to use that for their own purpose their own political gain is wrong. It is wrong, and its it has been destructive of this president s at first three years in office. They spied on from the middle of 2016. In the middle of a president ial campaign. It is stunning stuff, and yet instead of the two parties coming together to condemn it we see the radical dems exploiting it and using it as a as another avenue with which to attack the president , and to obstruct his agenda. It is outrageous what radical dems are responsible for in this historic notorious act against the presidency. Remember this, though, too it is not just the president because remember who they call those who support the president back then they call them deplorables. Now they want to disqualify their votes by trying to impeach them. It is not, they just dislike the president and they dislike your viewers and me they dislike everything about us in the instance of what we believe in in the idea of freedom that america is more than a country of america is an idea. It is appalling to me because the criteria that Speaker Pelosi set out if youre going to xeech a president it is overwhelming come clps peling they have no facts they change the entire system just as we find out in the i. G. Report to kind of rig this system against this president and low and behold what they come out of it American Public see the thriewt and theyre opposed to it as well. American people have a lot to Pay Attention to in all of this, and theres issue after issue to deal with but i think American People have no problem just simply looking at one fact. And that is that the fbi never once warned the president of any suspicion that there was a russian influence anywhere in his campaign indeed it was proved that there was not. But the fact they did not go to the president himself or at least some member of his campaign somewhere and carry out a defensive briefing. If we may lets listen to graham on Lindsey Graham, the head of the Judiciary Committee on this very issue. Was there a defense of briefings given by Fbi Department of justice to donald trump about the concern . There was not. What would you call a counterintelligence investigation that never had had a protective element . Im not sure sorry did they ever try to protect donald trump from foreign influence . They did not. They did not. And how in the world the fact he doesnt know what you would call that kind of a surveillance operation on a the president. Can you imagine there being a surveillance operation against the president of the United States in his campaign without the full knowledge of everyone, eve head of every agency principalling a in Intelligence Community without this certain thonl of the attorney general in the president of the United States as well . You know what they did do not only did they not tell this president when they have a responsible too you know who they did talk to they talked to russians. They told the russians and called them. But they never taunged to this president. They have to responsibility as one hes the nominee to become the leader of the free world. They go before him and then they bring people in to try to spy on him and then they lie about about the outcome and they give that falsifying to go to the fisa court to continue this further after hes lengted president. Thats why i say lou, this is the closest this country has ever come toking having a cue. L and the effort, by the way, is unrelengting no one should mistake what this impeachment process is from the house. These two week and ludicrous charges against him, notwithstanding they radical dems, want to overthrow this president because they know full well that once all of the facts are out or at least most of the facts are out, about the special counsel about the witch hunt as president called it against him. The efforts to overthrow him and then this the mad impeachment farce, the American People are going to reject the democrats and i believe that every level of government in the polls in november. Look they loathe this president so much because they know theyre going to lose to them and youre correct they startedded from the very beginning remember when they took the majority . You had knadler campaign for the position of chairman of the committee that oversees impeachment by saying he would be the best for impeachment. These new freshman democrats that came in on the day they were sworn in thatting night they said they were going to impeach the mother. You have adam schiff continuing to lie. Remember what he came before america that said that he was so upset he thought that administration was going to withhold a whistleblower from come forth. Only reason america is not heard from this socalled whistleblower is because adam schiff held them back why because adam schiff lied to American Public whether he knew who whistleblower was because he met with them. This is what theyre building this house of cards on. Nothing but lie after lie. Because all they want to do is try to impeach this president because they know they cannot defeat him in polls. And its all theyve done for three well more than three and a half years. Lie and lie and lie. Congress oman. Im sorry go ahead please. But look how successful this president has been. Now just got United States, mexico, and canada trade agreement which no one said was possible. This is the art of the deal. Business schools will study what this president has been table to accomplish against all of this. Making a strongest economy rebuilding our military, think about how much more we can do as a nation if we did not have a majority all they ever want to do is impeach. Only thing they can say is they have issued more subpoenas than they created laws. Congressman was that thorning for being with us always good to talk with you. Thank you.

God promises to bless those who bless israel, may you be blessed as you bless his children. Inspector general Michael Horowitz today shot down former fbi director james comeys claim that the i. G. Report somehow exonerated comey from misconduct allegations. The fbi director james comey said this week that your report vicinity vindicates him. I think that afnghts dont indicate anybody who touched this. Wow. Well joining us now is strossle author of resistance at all cost, trump haters are breaking america. Its great to have you with us. Why do believe that Michael Horowitz went to such extraordinary efforts not to find that there was political bias in it this in all of this, in fact, reporting of that bias later in the report. I think it is really important that we be clear about what he did and didnt do because too much of the media is misrepresenting this. He went to a great effort to say that he did not find any documentary evidence of bias. Which is another way of saying he didnt find a memo from andy mccabe saying Operation Take out donald trump. Right . On formal letter head, but he did but that is very different from whether or not he found personal boys of which he went out of the his way to put in the report in particular Text Messages between lisa page and peter strzok that came within days of opening the investigation. And he also went out of his way to say look all of these instances that happened nobody ever provided me a reasonable explanation for why they happened and to me that is an ag and language saying look guys something sting stinks and im putting out here to American People to say indeed there was bias. Bias and everywhere, and then not to in any way go beyond service talking about alexander and ambassador of the australian ambassador who happen to be in a pub in london at the same time as papadopoulos and over here this you know, conversation about russians with, you know, with their campaign with russian intenls intenls i guess whatever it is sculgt or whatever. Whatever would possess him to insinuate to gi that he had a us a possible wrong doing, i mean, the whole thing seems like it is just an absolutely absurd con common sense that tell you this is bunk i think that get to the misrepresentation of the horowitz report in which so many are say that, you know, fbi was justified in doing what it did. It was reasonable. Thats not really what the i. G. Said what he said is that the fbi met the very low threshold theyre required to open an investigation. And he stress several time that that threshold is very low. Right you could open an investigation into a ham sandwich at the fbi a difference is, is it justified . Is it appropriate and that i think is what had john durham the attorney is looking into and will presence evidence on that question. You know, i would agree up to a point with the Inspector General. But to carry out this operation, you know hurricane cross fire, against the president of the United States thats not a low bar. Thats a high bar, and to suggest that no one above the assistant director level knew about it is absurd. Particularly when you consider the comments of of james clappinger director of National Intelligence john brennan the cia who said very clearly you know that he immediately started a fusion cell here. I mean, and a to what degree do you think that theres livelihood that president of the United States didnt know theyre carry out these act actions against these both the candidate and then a sitting president . Well look remember too lou that this dossier information was not just going to the fbi. You know, Christopher Steele ultimate boss was the dnc. And Hillary Clinton campaign the notion that many, Many Democrats in washington didnt understand that this was coming in and going to the fbi strains all and i think thats why we have to have durham who is looking at this moreally and give us answers about about who, what, when how did this all get started . That was the task that that william barr has given him. The attorney general i have to say has been extraordinary. In his straightforward assessments of both what the attorney, Inspector General has produced also very clear about what he expects which is a lot more of that was delivered by the Inspector General. Do you have the sense that durham is going to get to meat of the thing . Well i think that if theres anybody who can it is going to be him, and look again, thats also to bill barrs credit first of all as you point out it is rare you get a guy who comeses in and isnt captured by institution but who instead says it is my job to make sure this institution is respected and ill do what it takes to get there and second great decision was appointing somebody who is infamous both for his straight down the line approach and in aggressive investigator so if anyone can get us across this finish line. I think weve got a good team in that office. I agree with you, and talking about the inside the beltway pitterpatter we watch a lot of it in that committee today senator trying to just talk about old words like spying and being met by the bureaucracies and plaquable assistance on lath opinion derivatives. Special moments and it is great to see durham express his disappointment with that report. The attorney general making it clear had that American People deserve far more far better.

Our next guest in on the says vingd kates President Trump joining us tonight, congressman mark meadows Freedom Caucus great to have you with us and your with reaction to what calls straight out a lamentable exercise on the part of the Inspector General. Well, i think tom is right in the conclusions that the the i. G. Drew i dont agree with on a number of fronts but facts that he has in that report i was part of a twohour briefing. I get to see these i. G. Reports from various agencies probably of review more than any member of congress and i can tell you it did you want get anymore damming than this. And when you start to look at the facts that are there about, the fact that when they were doing a definitive briefing with the president of the United States, with they were doing one for hillary and one for candidate donald trump then. They were actually surveilling on president of the United States at that time as that critical time. Weve the got more than a dozen times where is they actually secretly recorded conversations with Trump Campaign officials. Some of which were not even subject of the investigation. So it is very damming, i think that next 24 hours will tell as question go through this. But ive had a little bit more time to digest it and i can tell you that director ray would not be making 40 different steps to correct what they were doing if everything was like rose garden that was perfect. You know its far from perfect. It is a corrupt enterprise and has been for four years. At least in likely of very long period before that. Congressman this is a report that suggest to me that inspector horowitz thinks there must be accountability that people need to be and u. S. Attorney who is if you will the special counsel investigating the origin opinion of all of this he make it is clear he disagrees with the with the Inspector General finding on predicate and on steps needed to be taken. I by the way thats what im clinging to here tonight. Well im agreeing with john durham lou and i can tell you there was a narrow set of what inspector horowitz and his team were to look at and that was fisa abuse process indeed there was a fraud perpetrated on fisa court we know that we see that tonight. Not only were there anythings but there were factual error that went to the court they knew it once not twice but three different times so john durham is right to point that out. And as you mention three times you know once might have been aning. Twice might have been a coincidence. Three times you know youre a liar trying to commit fraud against the fisa courts getting away with it. And what i dont understand is where is chief justice what is being done with fisa court and why did congress reauthorize fisa through what is it march . Instead of waiting for this damn report . I mean, its about time that both parties understand one thing. And that is that the American People have had a belly full of what made this fbi and this Justice Department under the previous president operate the way they did. This is infuriating every american outrage at this and what has been done to this president and American People my god if were going to survive this we have dame well better stand up and demand some respect. I agree, and when everybody when left went crazy but attorney general barr said there was spying going on, well i can tell you when you secretly record a phone call, or a conversation when youre secretly doing that without the knowledge of anyone else, i dont know what else you call it but spying. And when we start to see the evidence that comes out of this 435page plus report, that will provide a Good Foundation for the work that john durham is already doing as he stands beyond where we are today. You know i look at this Justice Department particularly the attorney general. And we are seeing a number of advances that are important and sometimes lost from public view. But this is, for example, an attorney general that is declared huawei, to be critically a National Security threat. Hes also made it clear in his assessment of that threat tha incorporating the conduct of the assess m of the conduct of the state of the peoples republic of china. We have right now a government that demands transparency and never been more critical than now to the no only be transparent but to act accordingly. Well youre exactly right. I think that other thin that we have you talk about adam schiff not showing up today you may remember not too long ago lou you were covering this devin put out a report adam schiff put out a report today i. G. Report supports devin muniz not adam schiff so were seeing smoking mirrors in this impeachment process that we saw in entire russia collusion conspiracy and at the end of the day the American People will see the truth that transparency that you talk about it is time that it comes home and we hold people accountable at the ballot box by reelecting donald trump in 20 20. And congressman,st there no clear collusion construction than that between the radical dems leading this impeachment assault in an effort to overthrow the president and the russians. This is a collusion that could only be between the democrats and russians because everything theyre doing is in russias interest. To to absolutely attack a president who is historic in in every, every manner, every metric, and at the same destabir government which is succeeding on every front further it is rebuilding our military whether it is assuring that our policies will follow National Interest around the globe. Whether it is an economy that continues to grow and markets continuing to rise. This has to thats the collusion that seems the only lodge explanation for whats happening right now. My democrat colleagues have done the American People a disservice what theyve done is given russia a lot more credit than they deserve did they interfere without a doubt . Were they the reason why donald trump won in 2016 absolutely not. And theyve done a disservice by actually elevating their profile with all of this narrative that goes on and thats the real tragedy of all of this. Congressman, your democratic colleagues are snakes in who have done what they have done and to stand before cameras and microphones every day. And lie through their teeth which is exactly what they have done on capitol hill in that body that you serve as a representative of the great state of north carolina. It is a soully everything about the institution, it is a disgrace to the American People as you well know. Congressman, you get the last word. Well, i can just tell you this is nothing more than a partisan event that weve seen today and over the previous weeks. You know they want to say it is not political. But you dont have focus groups to figure out what youre going to charge a president with, and unless it is has a political foundation. And so it is time that we we call it for what it is that is that it is all about their 2020 or 2020 lech and hoping to get a democrat in the white house it wont work it is not working here in capitol hill and more importantly it is not working with your viewers e in American People. Now i think our viewers understand that it is more than political. Its down right existential if we allow this to stand this is no stopping any kind of conduct on the part of the democratic party.

Congressman great to have you with us. Lets start with why in the world is the world bank sending our taxpayer money to china . Dont question send them enough . Dont they take enough . They take enough is the right way to frame it so no good reason why United States taxpayer should be backing loans to the Chinese Government for the the camp and anything frankly. But the reason why is because china has infiltrated world bank to such a degree and that if severely curb our influence and theres accelerated theyve basically bought off african country as my understanding and theyve also had quite a few allies in europe and thats directly at our expense and so it is crazy. Anybody who you paint this picture to comes to the same agreement if youre a american and ive introduced legislation that will encourage them to do just that to graduate from the the Program Never take loans backed by u. S. Taxpayers ever again from the world bank. And to start tholed them accountable. Well good for you great for you, and shame on fuss, i mean, we created world bank and Monetary Fund and like were disinterested passive investors who point of fact our tense is never been more required. What more can we do . Well i think an american he is every World Bank President is an american. So he was, you know, he was always been a hawk in china what happened . Soda tay is doing a very good job of taming that down. The previous president kim was horrific so china doubled their loan capacity under him. You can look pup speeches of the former president touting initiative as a positive development for china, and they, that was under obama when mall pass came in you start to see loan program diminish. I want iting to go to zero frankly i dont think we should have there butting working hard and i commend him if that work but we need to continue to push on this because it is not just going to happen unless we do to. I want to turn if i may to the articles of impeachment. That aring being marked up right now the house Judiciary Committee, what is your take through this process and surely, surely nancy pelosi even adam schiff understand that their farce exposed them for louts they are. Its just despicable that they even proceed with it. Yeah i can tell you back in northeast, ohio in my district this is very unpopular to be going down this impeachment pass youll be hard pressed to find constituent of mine who are excited about impeachment pass, and so im against it for a whole host of reasons. On principle im against it but also as i can tell you in a important swing district or important swing state, the people of ohio are not for this, at all, and im with them. Perform and and those are good folk to be with congressman. Im with a e rest of the country too. Because most of the country is absolutely adamantly opposed to these articles of impeachment and carrying out this front against the president and , in fact, everybody who voted for him. It is just especially so close to the next election. I mean, im somebody who believes that whenever you get the the opportunity you put the faith in the American People and you let them decide thats how selfgovernment works, this close to an election i think there are a lot of volters even volters who dont like the president frankly who are looking at this and going okay. This feels like a completely partisan exercise and were about to revote let the American People decide who the president of the United States is. Were were 11 months away. And yes, and also trying to overthrow ath president who is historic and achievement is accomplishment and success for the very people of ohio and every other state in the union congressman anthony gons thanks for being with us come back soon thank you for being with us.

I like to start with something funny and, i heard about this man named bubba. He lived way out in the country, and there was a stray dog that kept showing up at his house, and his wife said, bubba, you have to put the dog in the truck, take him out to the woods, and drop him off. Thats where he lives. Bubba drove him a mile
