11:15 pm
blackburn has written -- will eye member of the budget committee vice chair of house energy and commerce committee. can you believe that hillary clinton would say such a thing. tray gaudi was beseed himself. >> this is one of reason that people don't like hillary clinton, and they don't trust her, she seems to have situational awareness. will come back and forth with what she believes or not believe, she was for the sanctuary city, she was against the sanctuary city, whatever suits the moment, we. but the fact is we have 200 sanctuary cities, what they are doing is choosing to operate in violation of federal law. that is why since 2007 i had the clear act.
11:16 pm
and why we require the feds to come in and do their job and work with local law enforcement. lou: lets me ask you 2007, george w. bush in white house the fact is that two years previous a republican congress and senate. we've seen republican presidents, democratic presidents ignore those san carrywarcities what that -- sanctuary cities what they are in clear violation of federal law. why should american people tolerate it. >> they should not there is blame and guilt to go on this. but, you cannot reward people for violating u.s. law and you cannot choose to enforce a little bit of the law but not the whole law. the fact that department of justice has never gone after any of these cities look at arizona what they did to them when they
11:17 pm
tried to strength en their strengthen their immigration law it says that they have to be picked up by i.c.e. i.c.e. has to deport them, feds have to payback your local state government, train them on immigration laws and how to properly provide. it also says that if you are a sanctuary city, and violation of law, that federal government with hold funds to you. and it is time for us to do that. nobody wants the criminal illegal aliens running through our communities. look at what we've seen happen over past 12 years every state is a border state and every town has become a border town town. let's enforce the immigration law. and stop process of sanctuary cities that leads to sit wag situation we just saw in san francisco, my

11:27 pm
days are coming fixer question are getting bigger not answered, why for example are none of our leaders asking how the out loud, who are we as americans, what is our once great and powerful nation becoming. we're relying on russians to gets to us space chinese to buy our debt, and 47 to french to catch over persian gulf. they seem up aware that america's strength is ebbing or they are too meek to confront was that fundamental transfer may be that president obama sought when he hook office 7 years ago we seal what happens to the questions that are asked over course of this campaign. quote of the evening.

11:34 pm
joining us s&p capital iq chief equity strategist sam stove all and prudential chief financial strategist quincy crosby. good to have you here. looked like doom was at hand only yesterday and today a bounce. on what, quincy? >> first of all, the chinese authorities came in with step number 25 to try to boost the market. it took off, it ignited, and europe was up on the back of the, perhaps, deal with the greeks, and the u.s. market came in, you know, on the coattails of all of that. you know, lou, when you keep going down, down, down, you're going to get a bounce, and we got that bounce, the question is, is it sustainable? is it viable? lou: that's the question you get, sam? >> i get the hard one, all right. i think that we're still overdue for decline of 10% or more. we've gone 45 months now without one, and the average
11:35 pm
since world war ii is about 18 months. i think that we have second-quarter earnings we're going to have to deal with, i wouldn't be too overly bearish about them, the bar is set underground at this point with a more than 4% decline expected by s&p 500 capital iq, so as my father once said, you can't kill yourself from jumping out of a basement window. lou: well, and as i would expect of your father, eloquently put. in vivid imagery. but the reality is here, with declining quarterly earnings, with all of the pressures we're seeing mount in europe and china, obviously, the moment, the story of the day, the hour is greece, but it is potatoes compared to what is happening in china. how severe are the consequences that are likely to flow from the world's largest emerging economy? >> the biggest worry is that
11:36 pm
the growth is not rebounding, and that the deterioration in growth rate accepting global, global growth. that's the real issue, you can argue how many people in america are really in equities in china, affecting them? but really what matters is china has been the relevant center for demand, demand for commodities, demand for luxury. lou: obviously that demand is evaporating. >> it's slowing, and then you also get the purge, you know, of the elite, and luxury bling is out, is out. so what you have is a country which people are being very careful, now losing their money in the stock market, and obviously, the authorities don't want that. they want the average demand -- lou: to lose some of the government's holdings as well, by supporting the market. i mean, when we talk about the chinese markets right now, we're talking about a sliver of
11:37 pm
those markets actually being in float, right? >> we are. also i think we have to realize that chinese gdp is expected it grow at about 6.5% this year, and slow to only 6.3% next year. i think the u.s. would love to get that kind of growth rate, so since china had been the engine of optimism and enthusiasm with that engine sputtering now, i think people are quite concerned, but until we actually start to see the economy go into a tailspin, i think it's something to be watched over but not worried about. lou: is it a fair construction that you would not urge investors to put money into the market right now? >> you're asking me? [ laughter ]. >> she gets all the tough ones. >> look, there are very good companies that are, there but you have to be very, very careful. unless you have the patience of job to stay in there, there are other places to invest. lou: and a very brave heart. >> and a very brave heart.
11:38 pm
there are other places can you do quite well. lou: sam? >> i think that for the long term, if have you money to invest, you should do so, i don't think you should go too far out on the risk curve. based on the fact inflation is incredibly low at this point, earnings are expected to be prz territory a year from now. we're going in a v-shaped recovery, in my opinion, we could see the s&p at about 2250. lou: i think with that blinding sunshine, we'll call it an evening, thanks for being with us, sam, quincy, thanks, you guys are great. >> thank you. lou: be sure to vote in our poll tonight, the question is -- cast your vote at loudobbs.com. an explosive lifestyle isn't always the good thing, new york giants defensive end jason pierre-paul and tampa bay buccaneers corner back c.j. wilson lost appendages handling

11:43 pm
. lou: the nominee to be the next chairman of the joint chiefs of staff says russia poses the greatest national security threat to the united states, marine general joseph dunnford shared his assessment with the armed service committee earlier today. >> in russia we have a nuclear power, we have one that not only has the capability to violate the sovereignty of our allies and do things inconsistent with national interests but they're in the process of doing so. you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the united states, i'd have to point to russia. if you look at their behavior, it's nothing short of alarming.
11:44 pm
>> the general also said it would be a reasonable military decision to supply lethal arms to ukrainians fighting against rebels backed by russia. joining us tonight former army vice chief of staff and fox news military analyst general jack keane, good to have you with us first your thoughts on general dunford himself as the new chairman? >> i think he's a good pick. a good reputation, smart, tough guy, i think he'll represent the military well and the counsels inside the white house, distinguished combat commander. he enjoys a lot of high regard inside and around the military. so i'm hoping that people listen to him. lou: i was taken, as i listened to him by his straightforward assessment of russia. it was clear, he communicated without political fear. that's refreshing to me. what are your thoughts?
11:45 pm
>> i agree, and i totally agree with his characterization. i agree with his ranking, except i would put isis first, it's the fastest growing radical islamist organization in centuries and it's expanded into seven countries and more on the way and it's got a worldwide following. and it's a very immediate threat. but i'm not sure the difference is worth the distinction. but the -- i agree with his comments on russia. this is a growing menace to us in the sense that putin has a clear design that's different than the political order that exists now, and he's taken advantage of weak leadership in europe and frankly weak leadership in the united states, he's a master at psychological warfare. lou: i could not help but think, this distinguished decorated general is take over as the chairman of the joint chiefs, he'll be reporting to a man as president of the united states and commander in chief who makes it pretty clear he
11:46 pm
does not want to, in anyway, be anything other than flexible with vladimir putin, who has backed away from his, his vow to degrade and destroy the islamic state. how frustrating a job it must be for the general to assume the chairmanship of the joint chiefs. >> yeah, well, i think he's humbled by it and feels honored to have that position and also to represent all of the troops that are in the united states military, and he's got a tough road ahead of him in front of the next year and a half with the next administration, i'm convinced in my own mind, many of his thinking and policies are very different than the administration's. i think he'll represent the military well and those counsels. he owns the decision process and we've seen it time and time again, the policies have contributed to the failing and the challenges we're facing in the world today. i hope this general has impact
11:47 pm
on them. i suspect he may not have much because i suspect the president is closed in on his major policy decisions, i don't think he's going to make much change here. lou: tens of thousands more troops will be leaving the army under his watch as chairman. another 30,000 may also be reduced from the 450,000 that will result. we're going back to an army that is smaller than 1940 a year before we entered world war ii. is this not the definition of madness? >> it certainly is. it's beyond irresponsible. it's actually reckless, lou. you're right, you have to find that number, it's pre-world war ii, and numbers have a quality all of their own. numbers do matter. it's not just technology. and as we know, the army's
11:48 pm
taking the disproportionate cut that the military is facing, and you can't win wars without ground troops. watching it the last 14 years and talking about russia who has a significant land force, and it's the land forces he's using to push around the countries in europe. so this makes no mistakes. what happens inside the counsel of the white house and the civilian leadership of the pentagon, they've convinced themselves they're not going to win a war on the history of ground troops again, that has proved wrong time and time again. lou: good talking to you. stocks posted gains closing well off session highs, the dow up 33 points, the nasdaq up 13 points higher. volume 3.4 billion shares, and a reminder listen to my reports three times a day on the salem radio network. misery today in london for millions of commuters. the british capital's underground system came to a halt because of the biggest
11:49 pm
strike in more than a decade. those trains not moving anywhere. the strike called after the unions and london underground failed to agree on a pay deal for new overnight services set to start in september. 54% of workers are unionized, compared to 36% in the united states. a brazen car thief taking police on a wild chase through bergen county, new jersey, dash cam video shows police in hot pursuit of that cop car. the suspect tried to carjack a woman once cornered by police, he carjacked a police cruiser. he even crashed into another police car. the chase ending only when police used a p.i.t. maneuver on the vehicle, he tried to run on foot but caught in moments. he's held on one million dollars bail, he faces multiple charges. did jeb bush say americans need to work longer hours?
11:50 pm
are you kidding? republican party leaders fear donald trump is doing too well and the party not well enough. we take it up with the a-team, what's going on? gotta love politics, don't you? stay
11:51 pm
11:52 pm
11:53 pm
. lou: presidential candidates finding any reason they can to attack one another. in new hampshire former florida governor presidential hopeful jeb bush said this.
11:54 pm
>> my aspiration for the country, and i believe we can achieve this is 4% growth as far as the eye can see, which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from all-time modern lows. means that people need to work longer hours and through their productivity gain more income for their families. lou: whoa, longer hours? hillary clinton jumped on that one. via twitter, she said this -- bush then equipped anyone who discounts 6 1/2 million people stuck in part-time work and seeking full-time jobs hasn't listened to working americans. take that! the "washington post" reporting republicans may not be enjoying trump's way with words, the report claims republican national committee chairman reince priebus called donald trump and asked him to tone down comments about immigration.
11:55 pm
donald trump responded to that report in a tweet saying -- joining us now, radio talk show host chris plat, and alex smith, thank you, both for being here. >> thank you. lou: i love it, trump said end. your generation, are you galvanized by the republican field of candidates and with trump in particular or bush or whomever? >> i think that our generation is absolutely galvanized by the republican candidates. we have such a diversity in our field unlike the democratic party which has a few candidates. lou: you're not affected by trump? >> i will say this, what donald trump was attempting to say is to be critical of people who come here illegally, that's something we can all agree on. lou: you know what he was saying, ms 13 this year, 250 cities have criminal gangs coming out of principally ms
11:56 pm
13. saying there's 70,000 criminal illegal immigrants in this country, turned back into american society by this administration. we know what he's saying. he said it inartfully and defensively. >> we need to find a better way to say it. if we don't think that -- lou: how about the way i said it. >> great way to say it. lou: there you go! >> praise people for being like ronald reagan. lou: which one would you start with? >> on which presidential candidate? lou: you said we need to praise them for being most like ronald reagan. who is most like ronald reagan? >> each has qualities that could blossom into a ronald reagan-like figure. lou: chris, the donald, are you a fan? uncomfortable or like a reince priebus, dynamic leader of the republican party. mr. electricity he's known as, i understand. do you think trump should tone it down?
11:57 pm
>> he should pay attention to phrasing, ventured into new arena here, and it's a different arenthan the one he's accustomed to, and brazenness has always served him very, very well and many respects service him well right now. he lacks a couth, finesse, he's got rough edges when it comes to the arena of politics. but he's striking a chord with the american people, you're hearing this also lou, and hearing it from the radio and a lot of people. he's striking a chord with people, he's a no-nonsense, we're on your show. he is no-nonsense, he cuts right to it. what he's saying is from the heart, it's essentially the truth, and he doesn't sound like one of the politicians who holds his hands just so and refuses to use that word and uses that word instead. he's not polite company, but he cuts to the chase. lou: the other thing here, it's a question i ask congressman
11:58 pm
