This is a day were supposed to celebrate independence, not look over our shoulder every second. I want you to take a look at what happened at the d. C. Navy yard thursday. There were reports of an active shooter, and thank god police gave an all clear soon after. Look at the panic. Will freedom ever win over fear and have the terrorists already won . Well the administration is saying theyre week and that were in a good place, but if thats the case how come isis had three successful attacks in one day while were sitting here worried about our safety . Its about time that we go on the offense when it comes to isis there are tobz of young naive people who are going to join isis, and the reason why is because isis is winning. These people want to be on the winning team. Right now isis is. We are acting like the jv team. The joint task force, the fbi and Homeland Security said you know bull ten, holiday celebrations remain attractive targets. Thats scary. Its totally scary. I was thinking about the fireworks this year. I live on the west side of the city there on the east river xshgs i cant say i wasnt a little bit relieved actually that they were on the other side. We can be doing better but they are out there, and you know Michael Hayden made great comments about this race. I cant say that were lose but i certainly cant say that were winning. I do think were on the back side. Theyre also soddering manhole covers. I mean where are we . This doesnt feel like america. Eric its this idea of fortress america. Since 9 11 weve spent 7 trillion on Homeland Security and on defense, and militant islam is stronger now. Its better funded. Its more organized. These attacks are becoming more brazen. The fact we feel less safe rather than more safe on this fourth of july i think is an indication of just how ineffective not only obama, but the policies have been. You have a good point. Listen. Be fair and balanced about it. This is going on for a long time. Do i really need to be looking over my shoulder at every Single Person that might be walking by all weekend . If we have a climate of fear in this country, its i dont think its deserved all the time. We are frightened of things that occur right near us and as well we should be but if you look at the actual damage of anything since 9 11 its been very small. Okay. Since 9 11 hang in there one second john. Michelle are you in d. C. You remember the navy yard thing. That was based on someone hearing a noise, and next thing you know theres thousands of cops and swat and fbi in the area. Had to cause the country and the city of d. C. Millions. Well i think that shows that isis is winning, right . The fact that were living in fear and that were going about our days scared that something might happen. I mean this is not something that is happening in a far away country. This is happening in auerbach yard. Just this year alone, 50 people have been arrested in america trying to either help isis we need to call economies where they are. Jessica between all of these lone wolf attacks, theyre ebb couraging. The ideas are even more appealing for disaffected youth than a decade ago. Lets stop talking with the state sponsors of terrorism like iran and swrab. Maybe thats a first start. This is good transition. Listen to what general hayden had to say. Why we might be losing. Maybe heres a way to grab the battle back. Grab victory back. Listen. We need to inflict battlefield defeats on them in their homeland so theyre not nearly as attractive it these folks globally. John would you agree with that . Well thats it. Weve tab a defensive posture. Even listen to obamas rhetoric. Were not going destroy isis. Were going to degrade and ultimately defeat. Theres this expectation now that this is going to be a decades long Security Matter as opposed to the notion of lets fight the enemy, lets destroy the enemy, and bring americans home. They can then celebrate the fourth of july. Weve got sunnis on one side and shiite on the other. We should balance that power. We should support them fighting each other and killing each on or about where are why should we be doing it . That general is nuts. He wants to put americans over there on the battlefield. I think he is skrazy. You have kurds in the north. They are terrific fighters. We dont need to put our people up there. We need to intli the kurds, and we dont need to do it through baghdad. We need to do it directly. If we did that with everything jordan et cetera et cetera we would be much better off. All right, jill. Look we have a problem here brsh. If isis continues to advance, which is what theyre doing, theyre going to continue to get more recruits. We need to show that theyre weak and that were strong and that we are not going to if iraqa is their headquarters, then start by leveling raqa. That would accepted a signal that the u. S. Is serious. Absolutely. Im not sure anyone ever suggested we put american boots on the ground. You can certainly get arab boots when you say confront them then how . Thats the problem right now. We had some week last week. Cashin in trended nationally for the fifth consecutive week. Our wake up america broke through the half a million mark. Over 508,000 mechanicses over the last few days, and that was the top show on fox all saturday. I read all the tweets and Facebook Comments all of them and it helps shape this successful show. Here are some of the most active friends on cashin in. Get on board the high speed train to truth. Your opinion matters to us. Coming up nbc, univision and macys all telling donald youre fired. Are these companies putting politics over business . We debate. You decide. Macys just sfoeld d like a wet rag under the pressure. Univision, well univision, i think is doing the work for mexico. Its incredible to watch. Its sad to watch. Thats the problem with our country. Its so important to be politically correct. Trump fired up the donald lashing out after being just canned by two Major Networks and macys this week. The company is upset over his controversial comments about immigration now. Let me think. I think theyre making a big mistake by choosing politics over business. He is not just a fool but he is a fraud. He puts himself out there as a businessman. He loves free trade, but it has to be negotiated. He is for the terrorists. He is for the intervention and the economy. Where do you stand on this . Look Donald Trumps show Celebrity Apprentice was the fourth highest rated show after football the voice, black list and then Celebrity Apprentice. He brought in millions of dollars. And he brought in millions of dollars for charity. No one seems to remember that. They could fire us too. Its their business. Its thats what the free market is about. If trump cant survive in the free market then its his problem. Not theirs. I think he will survive. What about the poor models . These miss usa, theres 50 ladies from. They need to eat too. It depends on the company were talking about. Were talking about nbc right now. Nbc is the company that gives al sharpton a show. Look im not a fan im not a fan of donald trump, but you are saying oh it makes sense because he is a fraud. Um nbc went and backed brian williams. Brian williams is not that hones of a person, and they did it. What im saying is this is good if its your brand and you are trying to protect your brand, and your brand is the company that gives al sharpton a show. Then it makes sense. Lets talk about this for a second. You may not like donald trump. He is number two in the latest fox news poll. He is number two behind jeb bush. We have a long way to go. I think this has a lot to do with name id. Go to michelles point about nbc having earl sharpton. Thats the difference between opinion and ber at the same time. They hired al sharpton because he says those things. They knew what that product was. They didnt hire or support donald trump because they thought he would be saying nasty thing about mexicans. You want to be on the right side of these issues. I think nbc made a great decision. He is bad for the brand. Michelle. Well i agree. I think in terms of nbc its probably a smart decision. They dont want to be associated with him. Macys im not sure that was the greatest decision because i just dont see it as them having this political brand whereas nbc i understand. Look at least wayne and john wayne first, at least is he bringing fresh new ideas. Its not the same old stale politician that is were so used to. I can tell you the leader on both sides would never be taking a shot at nbc like this. In that sense that causes people if you want to if you are getting ratings, if thats what are you looking for, turn in. Im looking for a president who stands up for america who says he is not afraid to be politically incorrect and worry about what he is saying and someone who will stand up across the table from china and iran saying it lakeeffect mazing during debates when he isotology call people out. Theres a difference between a businessman and a president. The leader of the people doesnt make threats, doesnt fire folks with that kind of odd affect and doesnt alienate americas major corporatings. If you want that as your president president. He has been doing this. Do you not see a difference. Does anyone like Chris Christie . No. I love him. Flynn in the gop. Its the worst of the worst. What do you like about Chris Christie. He is not afraid to say whats on his mind. In one sense you say he is a brilliant politician, and then you cant he is practical and serious for this. Christie has a track record. Donald trump doesnt have one. You know maybe that. Maybe thats exactly what we need. Someone without the track record. Especially if you look into it. Im not that thrilled with Chris Christies track record. Coming up were celebrating our independence, and the white house is working to improve relations with the country of castro. At what cost . Im proud to be an american because we live in a country that affords an opportunity for us to have a right to vote our voice to be heard, and a system that can change. And update itself. Mom, when is daddy coming home . Daddy misses us, too, honey. [phone rings] he called her on the road hello. Hi, honey. From a lonely cold hotel room hi, honey. Just to hear her say i love you. I love you one more time a little voice came on the phone hes right here. Dad, when you gonna come home . He said, daddy, when you coming home . He said the first thing that came to his mind im already there. Im already there take a look around im the sunshine in your hair im the shadow on the ground im the whisper in the wind im your Imaginary Friend and i know im in your prayers oh, im already there hey, buddy. [giggles] announcer being there. Pass it on a message from the foundation for a better life. Be seeing throughout the day here on patriots point. We hope to hear from ow social media. Back to you. Today i can announce the United States has agreed to formally reestablish diplomatic relations with the country of cuba. Were getting cozy with cuba to the first time. The u. S. Will reopen its embassy in havana, and cuba will open one in d. C. I take a lot of heat for being procuba but im standing by it. Its a tremendous Business Opportunity for american growers, the Construction Industry. The opportunities are limitless. 11 million new customers just 90 miles off our shores. Do you agree . Hola. Yeah no im in favor of normalizing relations. I think we got a bad deal. I think in exchange we should have demanded that cube why put a stop to human rights abuses and allowed for political freedom. In terms of the economy, it this will be good. The fact we didnt have relations with cuba was really bad. We were losing over a billion dollars a year for our economy. Theyre not a military threat anymore, but to michelles point, theres still a communist dictator ship. They still jail Political Prisoners and beat them up. I just dont think we should dignify this dictatorship, and we dont need to have an embassy there. We dont need to meet with castro. I just dont think we should meet with countries that routinely violent its citizens rights. Are you saying we shouldnt have trade with cuba . I think we can have trade like we do have russia, but i dont think that we should dignify them by putting american soil thats what an embassy is putting american soil in a communist dictatorship country. Do the math on me here. Where is Guantanamo Bay . I think thats american as well. What are your thoughts on normalizing relations with cuba . I think its a prisy attitude to have this moral thing about how, oh, they are communist and theyre bad and this and that. The best thing can you do is always put an embassy in a country. It allows you to start a spy system and do all of the covert things that you want to do. Thats what this is about. This shouldnt be about i dont think its a prissy thing to want people to have human rights. I havent finished sweetheart. Be quiet for a minute. Oh, sweetheart . Really . Okay. To put a moral blessing on this is all wrong. This is a practical thing. This is a perfect thing for us to do. Next time well go with bonita. Youre in favor of this jess . I am in favor of it but i wasnt thinking so much about the money options, which i get the opportunities there, but thinking about the fkt that our policy was a huge failure here but now we have the opportunity to really push Civil Society on the ground and promote democracy, better human rights records just as michelle was saying. I think that we can really make changes in cuba by having access. What about making changes at home . We promote but that was a block. This is c block now. Where he we made a deal with cuba, but you just said an opportunity to promote democracy there. Thats not a responsibility. It is our responsibility. We have to go guys but dont forget our youll be we could probably put a million new jobs in the Construction Industry on that island day one if we really really tried. Guys we ran out of time. Im sorry. We got to go. Coming up united we stand, divided we fall. How the white house can bring all of ame time to wake up america. This week president obama celebrated the samesex marriage ruling from the Supreme Court by lighting the white house in the gay pride rainbow. Lighting the white house in the gay pride rainbow. Look as a conservative i accept the Supreme Courts decision but Many Americans are upset. I am questioning the use of the white house as a political billboard, especially when the message is controversial and not necessarily representative of all americans views. You have to admit those colors can be divisive. I had an idea. Since its americas 239th birthday a day to celebrate our freedoms and liberties, how about you light the white house with colors that arent divisive . Red, white, and blue. Three colors that no patriotic american should have a problem with adorning the white house because, mr. President , rather than always dividing the country lang race lines, along jeshd lines, and along religious lines, how about just this one time you promote some unity. Red, white, and blue lights on the white house. Might be tonight. You can go back to dividing us next week. The hat and its lou dobbs, fox business, have a great weekend. Lou good evening, everybody. Im lou dobbs. Growing concerns that the Islamic State could attack this country over our 4th of july holiday. Americans around the country are accustomed to heightened security warnings at independence daytime. In fact, its become almost an annual routine. But were told this time is different. Security experts say that the year long rise of the Islamic State is at the foundation of that difference. Leaders of the radical Islamist Terrorist Group have been urging supporters to attack over the holy month of ramadan which ends july 17
