FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight July 23, 2014

Other. Out of one 102. Missiles were fired from russia and the claims come just hours after Senior Intelligence officials confirmed that other significant technologies and armaments are from russia. Those officials also say that russia has given the rebels plausible deniability, supplying the very same weapons the Ukrainian Military uses. The u. S. State Department Today delivered its strongest condemnation of Vladimir Putin for all of the ukraine. And that would not be there operating without resident within the russian government and we would not be armed without the support of of the russian government. So they could fire this without the support of presdient Vladimir Putin. Former president of georgia knows many of those in the region. This former georgian president has with this attempt with us and secretary of state john kerry struggling within the effort to negotiate a ceasefire agreement between israel and hamas. The terrorist group flatly rejecting any agreement until israel opens the gaza border crossings. And you could put the Hamas Terrorists effectively on equal footing in these remarks. We had a good conversation today about how we can take further steps and we are doing this for one simple reason. The people in the palestinian territories, the people in israel are all living under the threat of the media violence and this needs to end for everybody. We will be talking with Deputy Defense secretary Paul Wolfowitz tonight. House republicans announcing their plans to fix the crisis on our border and to end the influx of hundreds of thousands of immigrants into the United States. Their response to ann wagner of missouri and we begin tonight with ukraine. My first guess meeting with ukrainian leadership says that they requested radar jamming and detection equipment from the United States just last month. For more on the crisis in the ukraine, i am joined by mikheil saakashvili, president of georgia from 2004 to 2013, currently senior statesman at Tufts University lecture school of law and diplomacy and its good have you with us. Again for inviting me. Lets begin with a request from the Ukrainian Government of the United States, seeking far more than what we have scene at this point. What is the feeling of the leadership in kiev . The ukrainians are fighting for their state, and its also the fate of europe and they might have lots of disasters. Also the western world in general and the ukrainians need assistance in any Political Support and they need sanctions. Lou the idea that the United States and the Obama Administration isnt forthcoming with that kind of aid, that kind of assistance to a democratically elected government and an important power within the region, what is the explanation interview . Its a game changer because she needs to find out where these people are going. And so they were part of this. Lots of people died and its really a fight against terrorism. Because first there is john mccain and others and they went to see a local separatist and when they left the congressional delegation, these guys shot one of those helicopters back then in 2007 and we were warning about this and i think it turned out right now. And so the second stories, there was a russian operative with Russian Military intelligence and he ordered people to blog this area and this question went so far that president obama had to talk about this in the official state capacity and basically we have talked about this being a part of terrorism, being a part of this attack, and that went too far this time. So this time it should be a game changer. If it is a game changer, it is one that is being and occurring and almost silence from european leaders and there seems to be no urgency and there seems to be no outrage and there have been voices of support by the muted response at best from europe, which is most important and which has the greatest interest in the outcome of the ukrainian conflict. Yes, as i said, imagine this. That will be millions of refugees and legalities. And plus russia going further because the final goal of dimer goodness to undermine the free world. So its all about bad news that is at stake. And hes always acting too late into little. So in the midst of this, they are trying to use dell takeover and so how can one country actsf aggressive . And this battleship in the middle of the whole thing, that is beyond something that i can personally comprehend what any normal person can comprehend. When you talk about europe, we dont talk often about france or germany with any specificity. We didnt even talk about the European Union because it is a government that is to with embody few principles when it comes to Foreign Policy and has no clear global voice. So if we are to depend on europe, the cause is lost and who has the greatest influence over the ukraines future aside from the ukrainian people and their leadership . I think the world right now is looking at the United States for leadership and i think that there is tremendous potential that america has and i think some of the steps already taken have been going in the right direction because america was the first one to really target is. Russia is an economy that will function were basically if you switch back, [inaudible] it means of the west stops they are so corrupt and inefficient and if they give them other modern things, and if the western world really goes after the asset, they keep all of this and Vladimir Putins own daughter, this is not good. I think its important to remember that Vladimir Putin is a clever and to this point highly successful leader and not a regional but a global power given the warhead that sit atop those missiles. So my question to you is as we conclude, is there sufficient capacity within the leadership of the United States, therefore, to actually move to confront the russians and halt their ambitions militarily if need be . I would urge that there is a certain moment where he was acting from an aggressive interview in the last several months he has committed very few blunders and he created this whole country which is a huge country and the largest country in europe with a very strong antirussian, antiimperial identity. So people had not done that, putin got carried away to something for which there is no way out. I understand your view that he has wandered here and i think we all have took knowledge that he now controls crimea. His forces are so on the eastern border of the ukraine and he may be the determinant force in how this is resolved. He has a very vulnerable regime. So if the western world but by the United States applied these sanctions, and the ukrainian people fight back, ive been there and ive seen the soldiers and some of my friends are there. The ukrainians are equipping themselves very well in their conflict but the question here now is not the quality of their leadership of which they have patriotic defense of their country but the strength and the willingness of u. S. Leadership to assertive elf and the ukraine. Inodes the frontline of freedom that makes america so strong great so its really hard but high time to stand up and im sure lots of people in america understand that and better sooner than later because time is running out and it might cost the world a lot of pain. So we want to avoid that. So i think that we are dealing with a situation and then as you said there is a global power. You know, it borders dont mean anything anymore, people can do this not only from values but also the law which made america also strong and i think that everyone has to act together. Lou we hope that your confidence was wellplaced as the president leaves open the question of his regard. Lou former president mikheil saakashvili. There may be turmoil in the middle east and rising tensions with russia, but president obama has no Public Events on his schedule as of right now. That is because the president has spent the day raising money for democrats in San Francisco and los angeles, part of his threeday west coast fundraising tour and the optics of the visit not likely to help and new fox news poll showed today just 42 of voters approve of the job hes doing and that compares to 52 who disapproved. When it comes to individual issues, the president s Approval Rating is under water on each of them. The president getting his worst ratings on his handling of the mideast conflict immigration and Foreign Policy. Particularly bruising is seven and 10 voters dont agree with the claims that they are the most open and Transparent Administration in history. We are coming right back. Hamas says no to another ceasefire proposal, rocket still hitting israel as the secretary of state arrives on the scene. Deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz next. You used to sleep like a champ then boom. What happened . Life happened. Stress. Fun. Bad habits. Kids. Kids. Kids. Now what . Not milk. Not sheep. Not that. Lets think smarter. Lets get some science in here. Lets build a bed. Another bed .

Introducing the sleep number bed now with sleepiq technology. It tracks your sleep patterns and tells you how to adjust for. A good nights sleep, a better night, and an awesome night.

Only at a sleep number store, mattresses with sleepiq start at just 999. 98 because everyone deserves a great nights sleep. Know better sleep with sleep number. Lou over the course of the past 24 hours more than 100 hamas targets have been hit by Israeli Defense forces and hamas has rejected another ceasefire proposal and says it will not accept a ceasefire proposal that does not make include the lifting of the gaza blockade. We are doing now for more on the conflict of the former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz. Its good to have you here. Its nice to be back. Hamas is being punished severely everyday and yet rockets by the hundreds still fall in israel. What is to be done . I think thisll have to do with on a while further and hamas has made mistakes very clear and im afraid that this is a strategic interest israel and significant the israelis on the left are very critical of this administration on its settlement a rallying behind the government of this issue uniting israelis and i think that the u. S. Should be taking a clear and strong stand up hamas is responsible. Lou hamas is responsible it seems as though it should be clear to everyone who is witnessing what is happening here in gaza and israel and the sequence of order of events. But the united nations, this is an extraordinary organization and the head of the Human Rights Council saying that there is evidence of Human Rights Violations and war crimes, 14 of the 47 states abstained in a vote against that resolution, only United States voted against it. This is becoming a maddening and bizarre and absurd organization and its politics and its votes, is it not . I agree with you except im not sure that i would use the word coming. I think its been this way for a long time and i cant remember if it was iran or libya to chair the human rights body and i think the fact is that if the United States takes a strong stand in support of security, we are going to be criticized in the minority, but i think it has to be done and i think frankly we have to do that on behalf of israel and also a positive influence in a country like japan that is not taking such a stance itself but hopes that the u. S. Will be strong for the support in the leadership in the future. Ambassador john bolton question openly the decision of the part of the United States government through the faa to halt flights to tel aviv in israel, implying clearly that he saw this as a political statement on the part of the administration. What is your response . Two i dont know, i dont know what the faa rules are a novice or there is a raised the issue, but it does remind me that i landed with this debbie terry secretary and at that time the rockets were coming from Saddam Hussein and so by the way being in support we have extraordinary influence on the government. So i dont think the Israeli Government will care very much what secretary kerry says, i just think they kind of talk about how the egyptians are people with influence. Lou there is irony on that and this administration is not particularly supportive of this government insisting that the Muslim Brotherhood would be entertained as a participant in our government. What are your thoughts about egypts leadership and the likelihood in any negotiation, should it come to that at some point . I think that they can play the role and i think there has to be some change on the ground in one way or another and i think that it isbly something that means more people dying until hamas has been set back. Interestingly it almost appears as though part of what they are trying to do is sideline itself by deserting the former ally and area, kind of left adrift and homeless because of this and they are trying to put there to themselves the situation. Lou thank you so much. It is time for a look at our online poll result. Last night we asked which do you believe looks worse . A never ending stream of political fundraisers, or appearing on jimmy kimmel in on the midst of all this. 90 of the fundraisers raise the worst optics. Coming up next, many say the president is not fixing a problem of his own making. Cast your vote at loudobbs. Com. And the reasons why republicans are considering giving the president money that he doesnt want to spend on either Border Security and enforcement of Immigration Law. We are coming right back. Lou coming up here tonight, republicans laying out their detailed plan to end the illegal immigrant surge at our southern border and to secure that border we will be talking with congresswoman and wagner and talk radio talkshow host jon gibson and chris plant take up the latest revelations about the corruption and incompetence of irs leaders. And another obamacare scandal to talk of as well. A first, a few comments on what steps the republicans are considering now to address the crisis on our southern border. Thats right, the republicans. A group of republican lawmakers called the Border Working Group today issued the proposal for stopping the flow of Illegal Immigrants across our border with mexico. Theyre plan would deploy the National Guard to the border, amend the 2008 sex trafficking law says speedup the deportation of children from particularly Central American countries, deploy more Immigration Judges to expedite deportation and asylum hearings and it would cost about oneandahalf billion dollars. Thats a lot of money. But it is a lot less than that of a three and a half billion dollars that president obama wants to spend. The speaker of the house is not committing to a vote on the proposal before congress leaves for its 5week recess next friday. But to the speaker of the house, who appointed the Border Working Group apparently has overcome his lack of trust in the president and is now willing to give the president more than a billion dollars to deal with the crisis of obamas making. The speaker says he wants congress to act. I would like to act. We have a humanitarian crisis on the border that has to be dealt with. The president clearly is not going to deal with it on his own, even though he has the authority to deal with it on his own. But i do believe that the congress should act, and i am hopeful to do that. Lou so now the Republican House is willing to turn over other billion and a half dollars to the president who refuses to enforce Immigration Laws and refuses to secure our borders and thereby brought on the crisis that will cost at least a billion and a half or as much as three and a half billion. The very same president who has also helped in the creation and orchestration of the socalled crisis Whose Administration has vastly overstated the number of children who are actually crossing our borders and under reported the number of adults and families accompanying those socalled unaccompanied children and the administration has changed the way in which Homeland Security reports the number of people that support. They did so to suggest more people have been deported then is the case. Yes, i am sure that now we can all see why the speaker and the Republican House leaders would be very helpful now, even confidence president obama is the honorable man who will diligently fulfilled his constitutional duties to the nation. Apparently starting so
