FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight August 15, 2013

And supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi. A battle that has claimed the lives of more than 600 people over the past few days and injured more than 4000. President obama scolded the Egyptian Military today, saying that traditional cooperation with egypt cannot continue as civilians continue to be slaughtered before claiming to be neutral in the conflict. We do not take sides with any particular party. Or political figure. I know it is tempting inside of egypt. To blame the United States or the west or some other outside actions for what has gone wrong. We have been blamed by supporters of Mohammed Morsi and we have been blamed by the other side as if we are supporters of Mohammed Morsi. Lou of course no one could better clear that up than the president himself. The mixed signals from the white house revealed the confusion within the administration. President obama calling for a return to a democratically elected government and his support for the Muslim Brotherhood it preserves a 1. 5 billion in annual aid that is now in the military and in the president canceled a joint military exercises that had been scheduled for next month. But the president said nothing about suspending military or economic aid. And while he hustled off to the golf course just moments after his remarks, he had a Second Street triple digit decline in the dow jones. And former secretary of state Hillary Clinton making another move that suggests her campaign for president is moving into high gear. The bestselling author of the amateur. Ed klein is here with us. Mark leibovitz exposes the money and the media in our Nations Capital and he joins us here tonight as well. We begin with egypt and the violence that has been unleashed on the streets of cairo. Hundreds killed, president obama forced to interrupt his vacation, weighing in on the deadly events. Offering little in the way of an explanation for the failure of his administrations policy. He hardly acknowledged failure itself. And he distanced himself today from Mohammed Morsi as he expressed support for diplomatic solution and condemned those moves to violence. Senior White House Correspondent Wendell Goler has our report. President obama was in front of tv cameras. He focused most of the condemnation on the military and announced the u. S. Will boycott joint exercises that have been set for next month. Our cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets. When rights are being rolled back. Reporter it was once a mainstay of the regional relationship. But they havent been held since 2009 because of egypts continuing political instability. Here on marthas vineyard, mr. Obama has spent time on the phone with his National Security team and personally briefed by his National Security adviser, but he hasnt found a solution to egypts problems. America cannot determine the future of egypt. That is a task for the egyptian people. Reporter both the military and the Muslim Brotherhood have accused him of supporting the other side. Has been done on a scale. He says it will resonate over egypt and it will not do him any good. Reporter meanwhile, rand paul criticized him for not ending the 1. 3 billion in military aid, saying that the law is very clear when a coup detat takes place, foreign aid must stop regardless of the circumstances. Mohammed morsi was democratically elected, but many say he didnt do his job. He started suppressing opposition, and that is what Mohammed Morsi was doing. Reporter thousands were driven out of the country one of Mohammed Morsi had power. It not be any such place for violence in egypt. Reporter kt mcfarland said canceling the exercise could backfire. I would say that criticizing him publicly or privately have that military exercise and have a pollster what is going on in egypt today and see if we cannot influence events. Reporter they say that the military leaders are running out of time before the economy collapses and they lose their public support. Lou we have new details tonight on the Obama Justice departments deadly gunrunning operation, fast and furious. Three more weapons associated with them have been recovered and crime scenes in mexico. Three rifles were traced to a gun shop in glendale, arizona, Justice Department documents reveal that. Some 211 people have been killed or wounded by weapons from the bungled fast and furious operation run by the Justice Department. Of the estimated 2000 weapons, Something Like 1400 of them remain on the streets or unaccounted for. The bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms has released this statement. An estimated thousand people have been killed and 26 people are missing. Nearly 100 thousand people since 2006. A rough day on wall street. The Dow Jones Industrial posting triple digit decline since the month of june. The dow jones plummeted 225 points, the s p lost 24. The nasdaq down 63 points. Volume on the big board, 3. 3 billion shares. The wilshire 5000 measuring at 300 billion in market cap. But it wasnt all bad news. Jobless claims fell to the lowest level since october 2007. About 48 cents a barrel rising for crude oil today. And in the bond market today, the highest yield in the 10 year bonds since two years ago. The Republican National committee spent day two of its summer meeting focusing on strategies for success in the 2014 midterms. And eventually, of course, the 2016 president ial race. This comes one day before an rnc committee is set to vote and whether to forgo partnerships with nbc and cnn on the 2016 president ial debate. The two Media Companies plan to air documentaries on Hillary Clinton, a likely democratic president ial candidate. Correspondent karl cameron has our report. The Republican National committee is in boston planning strategy for the next president ial race. They are offering recommendations as well. We have already hired 157 fulltime people across the country in just a few months. We are adding more every single mums from coasttocoast. So we are doing obviously africanamerican communities and asian communities and we have a lot of work to do. Reporter let us lead you to stay where you are. What we have to offer is hope. Reporter to catch up to democrats, they have developed new Online Gadgets software and hardware. We are not trying to do what happened in 2012, it might be a different thing. Reporter Chris Christie address this behind closed doors and otherwise try to avoid the media. He took a couple of veiled shots in bobby jindal, the governor of louisiana and they say that this shouldnt be a debate in society, most republicans think that the gop should be more libertarian in their views. He also said that he didnt come here to say it is the stupid party. A reference to some that happened last year during the 2012 election. By the way, just about everybody here said that they will write it off. Lou i have to say it is striking. Such a straight up an old Firm Position like that. It has not been the nature of the decisionmaking elites over in my words in the last seven years. Well, he thought that it waa time for the Republican Party to stop the esoteric worry about the nsa surveillance and he was asking if he had made a specific reference to rand paul and others. He had kind of a libertarian approach to it. The United States need to defend herself, and now lou are we to take the silence is affirmation that they have moved beyond stupidity . Not in the slightest. There are some conservative two parties that are pushing hard for strong reforms to the gop. It is time for them to moderate some reviews and that doesnt seem to be the tone here. They say that the principle should stay the same. Lou thank you very much. Much more on the race to 2016 and we will be talking. Ed klein joins us with the latest on Hillary Clinton coming up next, jedediah bila on the president.

And its giving the internet the room it needs to grow. This is gonna be big. Hp moonshot. Its time to build a better enterprise. Together. Lou president obamas confounding policy for egypt, the entire region, clearly not working. Libya and syria, of course, joining us for a look at the middle east and other issues of the day. Fox news digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt is here with us. Thank you both for being here. It seems utterly informal and unpresident ial. I just found not bizarre. The fact that he did it for vacation, he has a very serious issue here, i dont begrudge him a vacation, with no explanation as to why you have the president making contradictory statements about what our involvement really is. At the same time funneling and 1. 5 billion. The American People are confused, i would like to see the american president act like a president. But thats just me. Lou i am not confused in the least. What are your thoughts . We may say that we publicly dont take sides, but we do take sides when it comes to this. Their Administration Says the famous construction that they have determined that they are not going to make a determination. How the government came into being. While we are being confused or sending these mixed signals, our allies in the gulf for stepping in. And the others are funneling money into this because for them it is a life or death consideration, a nation of some 90 Million People who are mostly poor if the Muslim Brotherhoods hold holding sway there. It is crumbling in a very serious condition. Lou as k. T. Mcfarland pointed out to me, egypt remains 20 billion to move ahead. This is a country racked by all sorts of challenges. They are impoverished and the youth is right now on the brink of a ccvil revolt. But the truth of the matter is that the secular military is acting in our interest and nearly every interest. Have we changed the direction . We have been calling for peace and calm. I dont see any respect or acknowledgment of what the United States has been asking for. So what makes those things . Continuing to get this money like its going to change anything in the name of influence. Lou you have just used the term wiki. I would call president bush being in office and Television Personalities were not in his people were not using the construction. It calls for transitional theocracy. Transitional islamist government because of the president has argued, because in these countries that were led by strong men, but there wasnt a legitimate political opposition. That has not turned out so great in libya, as you said, has continued to be a part of this. People are anxious. Lou could this president have forgotten that the enemy here is radical . I would also remind you that it is all money. Im talking about our money and tax dollars that are being used. Lou if we are going to tax dollars we have a lot of things that the cabal. One of them is the failure to come to a successful conclusion in the process of the benghazi scandal. In which we have seen pallor by this administration and a refusal to prosecute those responsible. Is there any reason to hope for a resolve the on what we are experiencing . I think if you look at ben cozzi as a template for that, several months ago, for five months ago, they were dismissive of benghazi questions, oh, thats a fox news thing, were not listening to that, oh, who cares. But over time the facts have dribbled out. It was all of a sudden at the top of the list that were not phony scandals for the president. I believe that its three months now more and more comes out. This president has a problem with accountability and taking responsibility for things that happen on his watch. He is not running for anything is anymore. He doesnt have to answer a lot of questions that he felt he had to answer before. We will see if some future potential candidates have to answer for some of us. Lou thank you both very much. Up next, the liberal National Media trying hard to make comparisons in the chalk talk. Doing exactly that tonight. Youre going to love what they have in common and perhaps not so much enjoy what they dont. We have been asked. Lou as you have seen and heard, the president condemning egypt for another round. His fourth round of you are keeping track. The New York Times comparing the president s approach and other issues to the hidden hand style of president eisenhower. But beyond the president s love of golf, eisenhower played a significant amount of golf and we thought that we should point that out to you. 137 rounds, as i said, for president obama. 800 rounds. Working out of more than a hundred rounds a year for president eisenhower. He got a lot done as well. But he couldnt be further apart from the 34th president in many respects before becoming president , president eisenhower led our troops in world war ii. But then obama went on to play spades after killing Osama Bin Laden and giving orders for that with his former bonnyman, they call it, eisenhower is a president with big ideas, including the Space Program and the manned expedition and he has gotten rid of that. Eliminating the Shuttle Program and another of the president s big ideas. They big idea is obamacare. It was Hillary Clintons idea. By the way, it was nancy pelosi. So the president chose to complain and we should note that every president has had to deal with the least one congress controlled by the opposite party, twoerm president , president obama has two things in common with president eisenhower. It means that you get to play as much as you want. As much golf as you want. By my reckoning you have about 660 more rounds to play and you better get busy. But maybe you could use some of that time on the course to come up with that big idea for the country. It would be helpful. Remember when he was the darling of the National Liberal media . No more. Specuuation rising about Hillary Clinton candidacy in 2016. Ed klein, author of the amateur, with the inside scoop coming up next. Shes always been able to brighten your day. Its just her way.

The fourth in a series of videos attacking clinton, perhaps. Joining us now is ed klein. Would he make of this new hit job, presumably above the New York Times on the Clinton Foundation . What they alluded to was some ethical questionable behavior on the part of the people running the foundation. The crosscurrents
