tv   Lou Dobbs Tonight  FOX Business  August 3, 2014 11:00pm-12:01am EDT

11:00 pm
we will have a great night and a great weekend and we will see you on monday. ♪ good evening, everybody. the house just moments ago voted to authorize house speaker john boehner to move ahead with his lawsuit against president obama. a lawsuit that accuses the president of abusing his authority and illegally delaying a key portion of obamacare. the measure passed in a largely party line vote, 225, 201 after some heated speeches on the house floor about how lawmakers should be spending the final few hours they have before they leave on a five-week recess tomorrow. >> the entire republican majority in this house was built
11:01 pm
on opposition to the affordable care act, and yet it stands. and the fact that it stands makes the republican leadership do desperate and irrational things. >> the republican house is about to go out for five weeks but first they're going to sue the president and hope that we don't pay attention to the issues in this country. >> my point is that we shouldn't be so callous and short-sighted as to not defend our article one power simply because the president happens to belong to one party. >> the president himself responded to the move by calling the vote a waste of time and a waste of taxpayer money. >> we could do so much more if congress would just come on and help out a little bit. just come on. come on and help out a little bit. stop being mad all the time.
11:02 pm
stop -- stop just hating all the time. come on. let's get some work done together. >> wow. well, despite the president scolding, his theatrics, his pleas to get work done, it was his white house that insisted on it. threatening a veto crafted by house republicans to provide help to our southern border, a crises that some say is of the president's making. the white house said, quote, republicans released patchwork legislation that will only put more arbitrary and unrealistic demands on an already broken system. a system that the president has had five and a half years to
11:03 pm
fix. we'll be taking all of that up with house judiciary chairman congressman bob goodlock. also tonight we'll be joined by oklahoma's governor, mary fallon. she's calling on the president to end the secrecy surrounding the illegal immigrant children that the federal government is sending to states all across the country including her own, oklahoma. and no cease-fire in gaza after more than three weeks of fighting. danny danone will be here to explain why israeli support for the conflict is actually rising. a new associated press poll finds two-thirds of americans now say illegal immigration is a serious problem for the united states. that's up 14 points since may. the poll also shows only 31%
11:04 pm
approve of the president's handling of the border crises. that's down from 38% in may. 68% disapprove of his handling. our next guest supports the house border bill. what he opposites are the executive actions of mr. obama. joining us, congressman bob goodlock, chairman of the house judiciary committee. the chairman and his committee have had a busy day indeed. good to have you with us. let's start with the lawsuit resolution. john boehner has the authority now, the express support of his conference as well as the house to move ahead. what happens next? >> well, what happens next is that some time in the next couple of months a lawsuit will be filed and served on the executive branch asking the court to step in and rule on which has the authority to
11:05 pm
legislate, the legislative branch, the congress, or the president of the united states who has taken his pen and cell phone and rewritten many laws, one of which is more than 40 changes he's made to obamacare. this is a carefully targeted lawsuit to ask the court to give standing when one entire body of the congress, in this case the house, votes to say that their legislative authority is being trampled on and the court should step in and decide who it is that has the power to take these actions. >> some democrats, as you know, mr. chairman, are saying that this is a prelude to impeachment proceedings. any truth to that? >> the truth that the congress has a number of powers that it can pursue in the checks and balances and this is one that has, in my opinion, been neglected. it is a way to resolve the dispute. an impeachment action would not resolve this dispute as to who has the power to take the particular actions that the
11:06 pm
president has been taking over these last many months. >> let's turn to an area in which you have been a remarkable leader, if i may say, on the issue. that is illegal immigration and a response to it. the white house today saying it will vote to veto that $659 million border crises bill that the republicans are putting forward. how do you respond? >> well, i think it's ridiculous. this is a crises, as you noted earlier in the program, that is created by this administration, by the president taking his pen and his phone and creating administrative legalizations that are now being advertised down in central america and saying, if you, too, come to the united states and enter the country, they're going to let you stay. and the president has a whole host of things that he could do right now without any legislative action to solve that problem. starting with simply saying over
11:07 pm
and over again that if you come to the united states illegally, you're going to be sent home so don't waste your money, don't risk your life. secondly, he could stop doing these administrative actions. thirdly, he could allow greater access to federal land. he could call out the national guard. we have a long list on the website of the things that the people can read that the president can do right now. if he was enforcing the law, he would find they need more money to send people home and to detain people, not allow them to be released to the interior of the country. and he would find that there are some tweaks to the current law that he would need to have to fully enforce it. that's what this bill is all about that we intend to pass through the house tomorrow to show that we're doing our job even if the president is not doing his. >> the dispute between the congress and the president is whether he will enforce laws,
11:08 pm
particularly immigration laws. he's made it clear he will not. he will further slow if not end deportations all together. there is every indication he wants to create amnesty, de facto amnesty for as many as 5 million illegal immigrants. we are on the verge of watching a president, are we not, basically subvert the law, in this case, u.s. code section 1325, which requires that a person be punished and that the laws be enforced for illegal entry into this country, punished by the way by a fine as well as imprisonenment. we have reached a point, people use the expression rather recklessly but this is a president who is lawless in a sense he will not enforce the
11:09 pm
laws as required by the constitution of the united states. >> we do have a president who, in a whole host of different areas, not just immigration, not just obamacare, but enforcing our drug laws, our environmental laws, the laws regarding the disclosure of negotiated deals with regard to the release of suspected terrorists, all of these things are matters where the president is exceeding his authority. that's why it's important for the congress to stand up and use all of the various checks that we have against the president in a situation like this. that can be effective, and i believe that this lawsuit which could take a long time and certainly has no certain outcome, is an important one, not just for this president but for presidents following afterwards. if this president can do the things that he's doing now, he in the future and other presidents who follow behind him
11:10 pm
will think they can do anything at all and will render the constitution of little meaning and the legislative branch will go into a death spiral. we have to have a clear delineation of this authority and that's why we're bringing the lawsuit. >> a lawsuit, as you say, of an uncertain outcome and certainly what will be a lengthy process. no one knows where on the calendar that resolution, whatever it might be, would be reached in our judicial system. meanwhile we have mid-term elections, a president ruling by fiat, a man who is ruling and not governing by those who crafted this constitution. >> elections have consequences. we're suffering the consequences of some past elections, so i hope that this will be an election that clarifies some of these issues.
11:11 pm
if, for example, the president's party no longer controlled the united states senate, i think that there would be a more effective check on this abuse that he's using. right now we have 352 bills over in the senate, one of which makes it easier to get the court to decide these cases and expedite the amount of time it takes to get a decision from the court. but guess what? that's sitting on harry reid's desk along with more than 350 other bills. again, if we were able to take the next step and pass some of these bills that have passed the house also through the senate and then put them on the president's desk, he might sign some of them. even if he didn't, it would clearly spell out for the american people what needs to be done and what is not being done and at the highest level show the differences between the two approaches that are being taken here. one, a legislative approach that says the congress represents the people on these issues and the
11:12 pm
other, a president who says if you don't do it, i will, even though he can't cite the authority to do it. >> one of the problems here, mr. chairman, is that your speaker, the leader of the republican party and the house of representatives, has made it clear on alternate points over the course of the past year that he would go along with the president on comprehensive immigration reform. he has bemoaned the fact that many in his own conference, he mocked their lack of courage in taking on the issue, your own speaker, and now here we are with a defining moment in the midterms. are the republicans clearly so different than the president when your speaker is embracing the very law that so many conservatives and i think many of your membership say they wouldn't have anything to do with because they don't trust the man, they don't trust him on the, and they want a secure border? >> it's absolutely important
11:13 pm
that we make it very clear that while we do need to have immigration reform, it needs to be done in a step-by-step fashion, building the trust of the american people and starting with enforcing the law, securing our borders, and making sure that we have the necessary new laws that will make sure that people don't get jobs who are not entitled, law jobs, make sure people in the interior of the country unlawfully are not allowed to stay. i think that there is a very clear majority in the house that wants to accomplish that and that's what we're about doing. i think the speaker of the house has been listening to those voices. >> congressman, thanks so much for being with us. congressman bob goodlock, chairman of the house judiciary committee. >> thank you. house republicans released new e-mails by irs official low is learner who has been held in con attempt in which she called conservatives crazies and,
11:14 pm
quote, a holes. they say it's clear contempt for conservatives who she is accused of targeting the leader of the internal revenue service. up next, he was fired as the israeli defense minister for criticizing benjamin netanyahu's handling of the attacks. that's next.
11:15 pm
11:16 pm
11:17 pm
fighting in gaza rages on despite what was a four-hour humanitarian cease-fire called by israel which was dismissed of course by hamas. i say of course because they dismiss each one of the
11:18 pm
cease-fire proposals. the fighting now more than three weeks long, that conflict has extended. joining us live from tel aviv, the former deputy defense secretary, danny danon. it's good to have you with us. let's start with the effort by the israeli defense forces to destroy the tunnels, to destroy the rockets and the arsenal that hamas obviously has within gaza. how successful have the israeli defense forces been, and are you graduate -- gratified by the process? >> we are walking in gaza. it's not easy. tunnels lead to israeli's communities. we are walking but we know we have to finish the walk. there's a lot of pressure coming
11:19 pm
on us from the u.s. administration, secretary kerry, president obama, but we have to finish the work to find the tunnel and to make sure that hamas doesn't have the provision to start the next conflict only in a matter of months. >> are you personally stunned, surprised, that the administration would ask israel to end defense targets in gaza simply because the president of the united states would like there to be a cease-fire without any support from this administration apparently for the strategic objectives of the israeli government here? >> when i heard the white house saying today that they demand unconditional cease-fire, i asked myself, what does it mean, that we will leave the tunnels intact, leave the missiles where they are? what do they want us to do.
11:20 pm
when obama was a candidate in 2008 he came to israel and said if he was living in israel and somebody shoot a missile to his house, he would do whatever necessary to fight back. that's what we are doing now. we are protecting ourselves. i have two daughters myself at home sleeping now. we have to go to the shelter every night. we are fighting back in self-defense and we expect our strongest ally to stand with us, not to put pressure on us. what we need to do now is to fight hamas, not to negotiate and not to sign a cease-fire. >> it is perhaps -- i will ask you, is it strange to you that really more pressure is coming from the obama administration than as has been historically the case from the european friends of israel who often want israel to not defend itself, to con strain itself.
11:21 pm
it seems the obama administration is, frankly, even though they give lip service to israel's right to defend itself which is an interesting characterization anyway. it's an absolute necessity for israel to defend itself. european nations seem to be more supportive of israel in this conflict than the united states. is that a misperception? >> lou, i think it's an insult for us when we hear secretary kerry equal israel and hamas. we are not the same. it's like me telling you that al qaeda and the u.s. are on the same level. it's a terrorist organization. you don't negotiate with it. you fight with it. when i saw president obama fighting against osama bin laden, i admired him. but what he expects from us to do now with hamas, to negotiate with them? you do not negotiate with terrorists. you fight for them. you do not beg for a cease-fire. you make them beg for a cease-fire.
11:22 pm
>> the israelis made it very clear that the government objected to qatar and turkey being included in the considerations and the deliberations if you will and the talks by the obama administration. egypt pushed far aside as was the pla. do you believe that the united states needs to reconsider who it brings into those talks, namely, the pla with which israel has had constructive discussions and a framework for further discussions and egypt? do you consider egypt to be a preferred partner in any kind of cease-fire brokerage when that point becomes clear to the israeli government when netanyahu decides it's time for a cease-fire? >> it is a major player in our
11:23 pm
region and i think it's a cultural player. secretary kerry made another mistake by acknowledging egypt and asking qatar and turkey to move into the negotiation. it was another mistake. when you look at qatar today, they are the ones who were sending money for the hamas, money for the tunnels, money for the missiles. you should not support them today. i think eventually even secretary kerry will agree that egypt is the key player in terms of the future negotiation in the region and also may be one day future peace agreement regarding gaza. we need egypt to be involved. >> danny danon, always good to talk with you. thanks for being with us tonight. >> thank you very much, lou. up next, president obama criticizing vladimir putin. in my commentary i will talk about what the president is likely to do next. stay with us. ñ@ç@çpçpçpç÷ñox
11:24 pm
11:25 pm
11:26 pm
a few comments on the president's latest criticism of vladimir putin. president obama today announced new sanctions against russia before he promptly jetted off to kansas city to meet with
11:27 pm
americans who wrote him a few letters. and mr. obama who bragged about using his phone and his phone has used both to communicate with vladimir putin, calling him, writing him. and in his most recent letter to the russian leader, mr. obama accused russia of violating the nuclear arms treaty by testing a nuclear missile. you would think our post office would be able to turn a profit with all that letter writing. the president today bragging about these new sanctions, calling them, quote, the most significant and wide ranging to date targeting the energy and financial sectors of russia. what mr. obama didn't write in his letter to putin, nor has he said to the american people about these sanctions about which he brags so heartily are dangers and these sanctions create great risks to the global markets in nearly every economy. in geo politics, injury leads to
11:28 pm
further injury and sanctions are never a substitute for strong, intelligent leadership. i can find no example of economic sanctions ever actually working in modern history. sanctions have done little to deter america's trade relationship with russia certainly. that's right, it's booming. in fact, american exports to russia have risen since mr. obama's sanctions were first announced back in march. our exports to russia are up 17% over the past three months. now, that is a sanction, isn't it? and the value of our exports to russia has risen each month, topping more than $5 billion. now, russia counts for only less than one percent of all of our exports, but what we sell to russia is largely technology and equipment for the energy sector. that's right, we're helping out russia, and the target of
11:29 pm
today's expanded sanctions, energy. the european union has also intensified its sanctions against russia after previously targeting only individuals and certainly organizations with direct involvement in threatening ukraine. but those nations and europe stopped short of sanctioning the gas sector. why? because europe is utterly dependent on russia for its natural gas and that's part of the problem with sanctions like these. ultimately these sanctions, these embargoes, boy cots, whatever you want to call them, will injure innocent and unintended victims in this highly interconnected global economy of ours. in fact, the danger of unintended consequences could well put at risk not just the russian economy but that of all of europe, the united states, and indeed perhaps, the entire world. something for mr. obama to think
11:30 pm
about when he does want to brag about sanctions. we're coming right back. coming up tonight, we'll be talking about the border crises as governors blast the obama white house for the secrecy in their sending children apprehended on the border to their state. we'll be talking with the governor of in new york state, we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny. we've created tax free zones throughout the state. and startup ny companies will be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax. which means more growth for your business, and more jobs. it's not just business as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov when folks think about wthey think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well:
11:31 pm
jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.
11:32 pm
if your denture moves, it can irritate your gums.
11:33 pm
try fixodent plus gum care. it helps stop denture movement and prevents gum irritation. fixodent. and forget it. president obama to end his secrecy surrounding the use of our military facilities around the nation in which to hold illegal immigrant minors. one of those facilities, fort sill is located in oklahoma and we're joined by the governor, mary fallin. great to have you with us. you had no notification of any kind from anyone in the federal government that this was going to happen? >> well, we heard through back
11:34 pm
channels over a month ago that we were going to be receiving children. we received about 1200 initially and i think we received maybe up to 1800. i've asked for a count of the number of children that have been placed and actually they've been 12 to 17-year-old youths but i can't get an accurate count of the children. i've asked where they're from. i can't get the names of the countries they're from. i've heard that there are children from india, not only el salvador and other central americans countries but other countries. i've asked where have the children gone, who they've been placed with. i've been told there are 212 children placed in oklahoma with ei sponsors or a relative of some sort. so i'm asking why the secrecy. give us the information. then i just heard through back channels a couple of days ago that they've extended the contract at fort sill even though just a week ago last tuesday when i was on a call with the health and human
11:35 pm
services secretary that they would give us more information. but yet, their they've extended the contract and i read it in the paper this morning. >> some of your congressmen have tried to get in. subsequently at least one of them did. we have heard all sorts of stories, not only from fort sill but from various other bases around the country in which state authorities, state government has no role apparently in finding out about the welfare of these children, yet the child protective services, the child welfare services across this nation are state run and local agencies. how in the world are we to be confident that those children are being cared for properly, that sponsors are appropriate, and that there is followup to make certain that these people are not just after the $7,000 a month that the federal government is paying them to take on one of these children? >> well, that's the point. why the secrecy? what is the end game, and what
11:36 pm
are we trying to accomplish with this? give us the information. as the governor of the state of oklahoma and other governors across the nation that also z these my grant children in the united states, we need to know what's going on. they're going to be going to our schools, entering into society and families. how do we know these are the right families or sponsors. we've been told some of the families are here illegally. we just can't get any information, and we think we have the right to know. it's our taxpayers who are going to be picking up the tab whetn r they go to our public schools. if they don't have healthcare they're going to show up in our emergency room and our healthcare facilities. in fact, right after we received our first batch of my grant children that came to oklahoma, i did take my health and human services secretary to make sure they were properly taken care of, receiving the health that they needed, that they were safe and secure and had appropriate sleeping facilities. but i saw what they wanted me to
11:37 pm
see. >> let me ask you this, what can you do about it and what can the citizens of oklahoma do about it? what can any governor, any citizens of any state in this country do about a president who has decided to bring in an endless -- apparently there's no end in sight, an endless stream of minor illegal immigrants and place them wherever this president chooses, anywhere, of course, but washington d.c. or perhaps beverly hills or westchester county, new york. they're being placed in places that are not affluent and in which there are seemingly little interest in stopping this practice. your thoughts. >> first and foremost, the president is responsible for this crises that we have. it is a humanitarian crises. it's very dangerous for these
11:38 pm
children, these young teenagers that are coming across the border illegally. and also for the adults coming across. it's not only children but adults doing it. they're flooding across into the united states because we sent a message through president obama that if you want to come to the united states you can come across. we're going to give you foot, shelter, housing, healthcare, no questions ask. you can just go out into the united states and disappear and you're here. it's his crises, he created it. he sent the signal. we can demand accountability from the president, keep the pressure up. i've started an online petition in the state of oklahoma and i have 4,000 people who have signed up saying no amnesty, and enforce the laws. we have laws on the books, the united states constitution, uphold the laws of our nation, enforce the constitution. if people want to immigrate to the united states, they can do that. we have a way for people to do that. america has been strong because the immigrants that have come to
11:39 pm
the united states legally we support that. we certainly want to take care of the my grant children that are here and make sure they're safe but we also have to enforce the laws of our nation. >> governor, do you think it's occurring to most people that this is now a government that is now truly a president who is ruling by fiat. he is more a ruler than a president. he's accountable not to congress, he's not accountable to the american people, he's not accountable to the courts. he's not accountable to states. why is there even a residual of confidence on anyone's part that this president can be stopped because i don't see anyone succeeding in doing so? >> i think he's going to do what he wants to do. it's very disappointing that things aren't happening in congress. congress is getting ready to go on their august recess. i know there's a huge disagreement between the
11:40 pm
republicans and the democrats, the house and the senate. they're scheduled to leave on friday, and it's very disappointing. who knows whether they're getting anything done or not. everybody is sabotaging everything in washington d.c. that's why the american people are losing confidence in congress, losing confidence in the president. >> governor, with all due respect, they've lost confidence in this president more than 70%, absolutely opposed to the way he's handling it. >> yes. >> governor, it's great to have you. >> thank you. >> president obama's border crises playing a big role in the mid-term elections. senator scott brown, the latest to tie his opponent to amnesty and the president's broken policies. he joins us here next. many of my patients still clean their dentures with toothpaste.
11:41 pm
but they have to use special care in keeping the denture clean. dentures are very different to real teeth. they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply. polident is designed to clean dentures daily. its unique micro-clean formula kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains, cleaning in a better way than brushing with toothpaste. that's why i recommend using polident. [ male announcer ] polident. cleaner, fresher, brighter every day.
11:42 pm
11:43 pm
border security taking focus in these mid-term elections. republican senate candidate scott brown unveiling a new
11:44 pm
television ad attacking his opponent. new hampshire's democrat senator jean shaheen. >> americans go through security before they get on a plane, enter a government building or attend a ball game. folks who come here illegally, they just walk across the border. thanks to the policies of senator shaheen, we have an immigration crises on our hands. we respond with compassion, but it's time for us to secure the border once and for all. >> scott brown, good to have you with us. >> thank you, lou. >> the house looks like they're going to put up $659 million, not what the president wanted to solve the border crises. your reaction to the republican move in the house? >> there's a need to make sure our border patrol and others have the tools and resources to
11:45 pm
do their job and do it safely. we are a kpas nat country but when the president and senator shaheen and others put out a neon sign that said, listen, come get your kids here and through his executive orders we'll take care of those kids, put them ahead of the millions of people trying to follow our laws, it sent a powerful message to come on over. it's creating an economic problem and potential national security problem, something i don't support but apparently the president and senator shaheen do. >> the calls it a sign of surrender to the president because it contains no language that would stop the president from granting amnesty and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants. are the american people being gamed here by both parties? here's t
11:46 pm
>> if people are concerned about what the president is doing on failed policies, energy, the economy, the best way to handle that, lou, is let us take back the senate. make sure me and others like me get down there. we can take good bills from the house, put them in the senate, make harry reid the minority leader. how about waking up to that in the morning after the election, and put all those bills on the president's desk and make sure that we focus on these very important issues. it's broken right now. he has the authority, he thinks, to do whatever he wants. i disagree with that. and the best check and balance is to take back the senate and to take his foot soldier, senator shaheen being one of them, and send him home. >> let's turn to israel and that conflict with hamas, the president saying that israel has the right to defend itself would just as soon they not as sort of the way i interpret his language. how do you interpret hit? >> first of all, i've been to israel. i understand the challenges there, went through the country
11:47 pm
very thoroughly. they have every right to defend themselves. to go in there and get those tunnels and make sure that those tunnels can never be used again, it's clear hamas is using children and others, women and children as shields. it's not new to their philosophy of war fighting. they are terrorist and supported by other terrorist countries. we need to make sure that they cannot export terrorism to israel and other regions around the world. i support what they're doing and i hope the president and secretary kerry give them 100% support. >> you hope that, i guess we all hope that, but what we have seen to date is far, far short of that. in ukraine, the president saying that there's a violation, the white house saying there's a violation of the nuclear ban treaty. complaining about putin's behavior, raising up the sanctions. do you think any of this makes
11:48 pm
any sense? is there anything there that is enforceable against russia and that will alter putin's both attitude and his policy direction? >> lou, our allies don't trust us and our foes don't fear or respect us. that's a result of the president's just terrible foreign policy. when he drew that red line and everyone as cross crossing and hop scotching over it, it sent a very strong message to the rest of the world, don't worry about the united states. by the way, they're cutting their military down to world war ii levels. they have a $17 trillion debt, they don't have the economic capacity to react. we're shrinking and our leadership is being requested. when there's a void in leadership people are going to press the envelope and that's what putin is doing. >> scott brown, good to have you with us. >> great, lou. if people want to learn more they can go to scottbrown.com
11:49 pm
and help make harry reid the minority leader. >> what was that? scottbrown.com. >> yes, thank you. up next, the new book sergeant reckless, america's war horse, the true story of the horse that became an american marine. and on top of that, a marine sergeant. author robin hutton joins us next. ñ@ç@çpçpçpç÷ñoxmhmhyhyh

a fascinating new book from my next guest reveals a tale of i think a hero you're going to find fascinating from the korean war, a mare bread to a race horse. joining us robin hutton,
11:53 pm
president of the nonprofit angels without wings. her new book is entitled sergeant reckless, america's war horse. great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> how did you find out about this amazing story? >> you know, i discovered her story, i had writer's block and i picked up a book called chicken soup for the horse lover's soul. there was a story called sergeant reckless for the mighty marine. i thought who the heck is this horse and why hasn't there been a movie about her before. when you hear her story, you think the same. it's amazing. >> i think people will also be stunned to think, we're going back more than a half century. >> yeah. >> you talked with 75 marines for your story. >> yeah. >> wonderful story. who knew the horse, had been around the horse, had served with the horse. >> yeah. and they loved this horse so
11:54 pm
