Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20180131

Now utterly destroyed. The president will pivot to what he would like to achieve this year, agenda items include infrastructure spending, immigration, and trade agreement s. We take up the president s vision with the countrys leading political strata gist ed rollins and the Washington Times opinion editor charlie hurt. Also tonight here americans awaiting the release of the House Intelligence Committee mem gum that exposes the Obama Administrations abuse of power skying on american citizens including members of the Trump Campaign Transition Team and the Trump Administration. President trump now has four days to decide whether to release the memorandum to the American Public. Congressman matt gates has been urging the Intelligence Committee and asking the president to do so during his state of the Union Address tonight. Congressman gates among our guests here and also two distinguished warning ton attorneys who have been instrumental in exposing corruption in the Obama Justice department, victoria tensing and joe dejenova join us here and will the president explain when that wall will be built, when will it start, when ill witness be completed . Answers in his state of the union well find out all of that coming up here tonight. Our top story, the much anticipated memorandum from the House Intelligence Committee, republican lawmakers who read the documents say it details shocking corruption and collusion at the highest levels of the fbi and the department of justice, and yet, Speaker Paul Ryan already pouring well some skepticism on his findings saying republicans shouldnt overplay their hand. I think Rod Rosenstein is doing a fine job. Rod rosenstein was hired after this last election. I think the people at the fbi at the doj need to clean their own house if there are problems. Lou unbelievable, ryan defend ing rosenstein even though it was rosenstein who appointed Robert Mueller to lead the Russia Collusion Investigation knowing he was Close Friends with fired fbi director james comey and then rosenstein allowed deputy fbi director Andrew Mccabe to remain in his post ignoring his many ties to the clintons. Perhaps most damaging of all, the left wing New York Times says the fisa memorandum will show it was rosenstein who approved a request to extend the surveillance of trump associate carter page, based on information contained in that phony democratically funded trump dossier. My first guest tonight says President Trump should walk into the House Chamber tonight and hand speaker ryan a letter approving the release of the memorandum right before he begins his state of the Union Address. Joining us tonight congressman matt gates who serves on a number of key committees including judiciary budget and armed services. Congressman great to see you. Like all of us here im sure youre anticipating the president s remarks tonight. What are the odds of him well giving that letter to speaker ryan . Well the great thing about donald trump is you never can quite script him. We do know that the white house put out statements in support of those of us who have been fighting for transparency and openness so theres no doubt where the white house is and where the president is and i think there would be no better way to kickoff the state of the union speech tonight than to announce he will release the memo and expose the corruption that has to be cleaned up, lou. Lou well i would be delighted congressman as i know millions and millions of americans would be. There is in this a certain calculus that i find interesting because its a judgment on the part of the white house that this memorandum is not lurking over all of the subjects that will be discussed tonight. No one in the country in my judgment is more interested in any issue above that of the integrity of our Justice Department, the fbi, and what this memorandum reveals and everyone is frankly just waiting for that memorandum to be released. With that anticipation maybe theres a little miss calculation on the part of the white house. Well i could tell you that whether its republican offices or democrat offices here on capitol hill, eight or nine out of every 10 calls are constituents demanding the release of this memo. The American People want to see what their government has been up to. The American People want to know the extent to which politics has infected the highest levels of our government and most importantly, we want to know where the cancer is so that we can cavity out and move forward with reforms that make sure that this never happens again in either republican or Democratic Administration so the people want it, the Congress Wants it, and the president s usually pretty good at reading the pulse of the American Election and i suspect he will act swiftly if not tonight. Lou certainly we hope so. I want to turn to if we may just one of the pieces from the president if we can get that up on the screen now the president will say struggling communities especially immigrant communities will be helped by immigrant policies focused on the best workers and american families. Your reaction this is first of all a sentence whose syntax is a little strained and could be morell o more eloquent whoever the writer was but what sense does this make, talks about unifying the country and with struggling communities and starts dividing the country. This is old, if you will, liberal language. Well, i think that the president always throughout the course of his campaign talked about an america where everyone could do better and the folks on the political left they have to divide the country. You see, lou they dont want an immigration solution. They want to keep immigration around as an issue to rally their base and divide americans so i think the president is working on a way to unify americans but i would warn him. This was not an election about daca. If this was an election about daca Hillary Clinton would have won it. Think is an election about the rule of law and Border Security and ill be listening for those Border Security themes tonight and to ensure that we really preserve the rule of law in our immigration system and have a system that works for America First not the rest of the world. Lou well said congressman and the truth is, daca was in the campaign, it was President Trump saying no daca. It was President Trump saying no amnesty. It was President Trump saying build the wall. Based on what ive heard from the white house so far, i dont think that were going to hear anything about a wall. Were going to hear about trust funds that dont have money and theres no trust for such scheme s, and if he disappoints the base or betrays the base theres hell to pay come november. Well youre absolutely right. People voted for this president because they were tired of see ing their hard earned tax dollars go in the form of entitlements to illegal aliens. It costs our country over 100 billion a year, lou and thats why its so important to make sure that we focus on e verify. We focus on ending chain migration. We focus on ensuring that we dont build magnets that draw people across our borders illegally and i do think well hear about the wall tonight about the need to ensure thats a critical component of our Immigration Reform strategy but we absolutely cannot accept as a premise that were going to do amnesty today and enforcement tomorrow. My voters wont accept that and i dont think the president s voters will either. Lou and i hope the president wont suggest such a thing. That would be disappointing to all of us. Congressman great to have you with us we thank you so much. Thank you, lou. Lou working hardnd airelessly to get the memordum out of the house intelligence commieeo theresident ando the ameran people. Were cong right bk with much muchore on the president s address tonight and all that is going on behind the scenes when we talk about immigration or trade, there are all sorts of interests and its amazing how the coke brothers, the chamber of commerce, the business round table, all have insinuated themselves into the, well, the trump inner sanctum. Well tell you about that and much more, straight ahead were coming right back. Its all about the despicable dems and the deep state now the American Public waiting to release the classified controversial memorandum thats hailing the Obama Administration s abuse of power. Well be right back with much more, stay with us. Liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe.

Lou well, speaking of illegal immigration and obamaappointed judge has ruled an illegal immigrant convicted of fraud has a constitutional right to say goodbye to his family before being deported. The judge insists the mens de mention by federal immigration agents violated due process and he must be released so he can get his affairs in order and, well say goodbye to his family. Well see how that holds up. All right, well see if they first of all the Trump Administration challenges it. A republican senator who wants to give amnesty to Daca Recipients now admits mexico is controlled by the cartell, senator James Lang Ford admits that 4045 of mexico is run by the drug cartell, he said that after meeting with leaders in mexico adding that its comperable to the Islamic State s control of syria at its peak. Thats quite an interesting number 40 to 45 not a half, not 50 or 60 , we dont know where that 50 or 60 might be but there it is. Joining me now ed rollins former Reagan White House political director senior president ial developer fox business contributor great to have you with us. Thank you. Lou ed as ive just shared with the audience here and we might put that back up the full screen from the president s speech in which talking about unifying the country, he immediately divides it by referring to struggling communities, not people, especially immigrant communities will be helped by immigration policies that focus on the best interest of American Workers and american families. I dont even frankly, i dont im not sure i quite understand the sentence but your thoughts . That had to be something left over from the Obama Administration that sounds like the kind of speech he would make this president has to be a polar izing president. This president is a president of change. The American Public voted for him because they wanted Something Different than whats gone on in washing washington for a long period of time and if you want to be loved by all sides you wont be effective. You have to make the differences hes maying and be tough and this is the kickoff for the 2018 campaign and he has to basically be tough and aggressive and mobilize his base. Lou i cant as ive said here, i give this president absolute credit for being the most effective president in the first year of his presidency, more effective than any president since fdr. All of the list of achievements and were going to go through them tonight. I know the president will acknowledge a few of his successes as well but when we look at what hes doing with immigration it just doesnt make any sense. He is risking his base. He is risking national security. I dont even understand how if he doesnt have that wall up before he takes any action on daca, takes any action on illegal immigration, then he could look the American People straight in the eye and say the nation is secure against 60 billion worth of drugs that hes campaigned about, has focused attention on coming into this country and destroying lives. As you know better than anybody theres tens of thousands of people murdered on the border over the last couple of years here and the numbers are just astronomical. Were at a war and at the end of the day, if you dont build that wall before anything happens it will never happen. This is reagan gave amnesty to two and a half million voters with the promise of security. Never came about and i would argue that trump has to build a wall, has to have commitments for the money to build a wall and basically move forward and then you do other things after thats done but you cant do it first. Lou secretary nielsen the head of homeland security, the former head of homeland security. The president s chief of staff john kelly, both spoke in contradiction to the president about how lenient john kelly is saying there wont be a wall across from sea to shining sea on that border indeed it seems hes right if there is to be a wall at all. Secretary nielsen she is absolutely an open borders person. I mean this is getting crazy. Marc short, coke brothers network, its as if the white house has been, if you will, seized by those who have an absolutely contradictory of you to this president that at least a couldnt rosenstein victory view to the president in his campaign. Well many werent for him when he got elected and werent for his policies even today so someone like marc short youd think he was the communications director. Hes the one on tv every day. Ive been around 50 years many white houses and never seen a legislative director ever on tv. His job is to go work the hill to find out what the hill wants and what the white house wants not to be on television and the communications director. I would argue that this president has to sit down with his team, starting with kelly and saying this is what i want, this is what i want you to implement and go get it done. Homeland security chief now was his deputy kellys deputy, she should know exactly what they want and its the president s policy not their policy. Lou well as weve learned, these folks mean to represent the interest of the business round table, the chamber of commerce, the National Immigration forum and they look like holdovers from the Obama Administration but in fact are holdovers from the bush administration, many of them the coke brothers. The chamber of commerce, the business round table, i mean, are you kidding me . Its business as usual and again the president who came in promised to drain the swamp, be different is now getting caught up with being the same and if he becomes the same, because he is so hated by the other side they will throw him out and his people out. Lou hes talking about reaching across the aisle here. It looks like hes reaching across. I hope im wrong about this, reaching across the heads of those who put him into office, his supporters, his voters, and if he does hes risking his base dont you think . Absolutely and the off year election is a big dropoff in vote and the reality is his vote is not energized they wont turn out and if they dont turn out well lose representatives for sure. Lou 33 have been are open. They resigned and historically you always lose seats in the off year and hes got to break that history and get more elected not less elected. Lou all right always interesting ed thanks so much. Ed rollins. Thank you. Lou be sure to vote in our
