tv   Lou Dobbs Tonight  FOX Business  June 4, 2016 3:00am-4:01am EDT

3:00 am
charles payne is back next week on monday, lou dobbs is up next. have a great weekend. ♪ ♪ lou: a cursing, violent mob described as a combination of clinton and sanders' supporters, illegal immigrants and an artists attacked trump's supporters as they left the trump rally. the assailants threw water balloons at the trump supporters, thugs stole make america great again hats, burning them on the sidewalks and streets.
3:01 am
and where was the san jose police department? the police watched and did little else. listen to these accounts of the violence against the trump supporters. >> i was walking out with our trump sign, he grabbed my sign and started following me, saying i was a racist -- >> you literally didn't say anything to provoke them? >> i was, like, yeah, trump, trump. it was my bad. followed me, spit on me -- >> i got hit with a traffic cone, got hit with a bottle of water, got punched several times, got kicked in the ass once, literally kicked in the ass. and then somebody ran into the back of my knees, dislocated my right knee, and that's why i'm sitting down talking to you. lou: the man who shot the video of the men being sucker punched today told my colleague, stuart varney, that the san jose police did nothing to stop the violence, nothing to help those assaulted by the mob.
3:02 am
>> when this man in the yellow shirt was coming out, there were several officers who did not intervene when the crowd started rushing at him, spitting on him and pushing him. i don't know what the reason for that is. i assume it's because the police have different units like the assist unit and crowd control, stuff like that. and it wasn't until after he was hit in the back of the head that officers came in and pulled him out. lou: and that's not all. one trump supporter -- a woman -- taunted by rioters, struck in the face with an egg and water balloons, pinned to the marriott hotel doors as police officers stood by. she was eventually allowed into the hotel, but again, police did nothing to help her. also shocking, the mob of rioters were seen burning the american flag. the san jose police department said they made, quote, a few arrests but wouldn't give any specifics at all. and the mayor of san jose, dem an ocrat, tried to place the
3:03 am
blame for the mob violence and his police department's inaction on donald trump. the mayor obviously thinks he's pretty cute as well, saying trump needs to, quote: take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign, end quote. the mayor is not, surprisingly, a hillary clinton supporter. later today hillary clinton condemn the violence, but neither bernie sanders, nor president obama, nor california's governor, jerry brown, personally came out and condemned the violation. and very likely -- the violence. and very likely the national liberal media will in no way hold them accountable or the left-wing activists who assembled and led the mob. we take all of this up with former house speaker newt gingrich and the weekly standard's fred barnes. we have a lot to discuss tonight, including the fight for california's democratic delegates, clinton and bernie sanders are knotted up in the most recent polls. there are only four days until tuesday's primary. hillary and her husband bill
3:04 am
campaigning hard in the golden state, holding more than two dozen events before election day. also tonight a shockingly disappointing may unemployment report that makes the case for a president who truly cares about creating jobs. the economy added only 38,000 jobs last month. but don't worry, labor department math means the unemployment rate actually fell, dropping to 4.7%. we'll have a full report for you here tonight. our top story, the sickening violence against donald trump supporters and the left's refusal to condemn it. trump campaigning in reeding, california -- reading, california, today. he insists he will press forward and, quote, build that wall. fox news senior national correspondent john roberts traveling with trump. he has our report. [bleep] >> reporter: it was among the worst violence ever witnessed in this tumultuous election year. trump supporters confronted as
3:05 am
he left his san jose rally. one man was sucker punched as he tried to escape, the blow leaving him stunned on the ground. another man was cold cocked from behind after walking through the protesters holding a trump sign. police didn't intervene until they saw blood running down his face. in other places fights broke out, flags and trump hats burned, and one lone woman wearing a trump jersey was trapped against the doors of the marriott hotel with employees holding the doors shut, she defiantly challenged her tormenters who pelted her weeings. hotel staff eventually allowed her inside. zoning's democratic -- san jose's democratic mayor appeared to blame trump for the violence, telling the l.a. times, quote: at some point donald trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign. at his airport rally in california today, trump lashed out at what happened. >> we wrapped up, everybody was cheering like crazy forever,
3:06 am
then they walk out, and they get accosted by a bunch of thugs. >> reporter: but the major topic on trump's mind, hillary clinton's address on foreign policy which read more like a screen on why trump shouldn't be president. >> donald trump's ideas aren't just different, they are dangerously incoheermt. incoherent. he is temperamentally unfit, leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin. >> hillary clinton is a thief, and hillary clinton should be in jail for what she did to our national security. >> reporter: and trump is getting criticism from his own quarter for his assertion that the judge overseeing the trump university case has an absolute conflict of interest because of his mexican heritage, comments trump appeared to struggle to explain today. >> this judge is giving us unfair rulings. now i say why. well, i'm building a wall, okay?
3:07 am
and it's a wall between mexico -- not another country -- >> but he's not from mexico. he's from indiana. >> he has mexican heritage, and he's very proud of it. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan took exception to trump's statement saying for him it came out of left field. >> i completely disagree with the thinking behind that. and so he clearly says and does things i don't agree with, and i've had to speak up on time to time when that has occurred, and i'll continue to do that if that's necessary. i hope it's not. >> reporter: from here, donald trump will go back home in new york, then gets set to embark on a general election schedule that will take him to 15 states he hopes to put in play and a number of fundraising states. donald trump hopes to redefine the general election in the same way he did the primary campaign. lou? lou: john, thanks very much. john roberts, reporting. on the democratic side, bernie sanders closing in on hillary clinton in the fight for california delegates. the question is, come tuesday can he beat her in the biggest
3:08 am
blue state primary in the country? fox news correspondent jennifer griffin is following the clinton campaign. they're out in culver city, california. here's her report. >> if all goes well, i will have the great honor as of tuesday to be the democratic nominee for president! [cheers and applause] >> thirty stops in the next few days across california, hillary and bill clinton working hard in this overwhelmingly democratic state, wishing they could turn their attention solely to the general election and donald trump. >> yesterday in san diego i had the opportunity to just repeat -- [laughter] what donald trump has said. by the end of working on that speech, even i was saying did he really say all of this? [laughter] well, indeed, he did. he is temperamentally unfit to be president -- [cheers and applause] >> reporter: but a neck and neck race with democratic nominee with bernie sanders
3:09 am
keeps pulling them back in. to quote al pacino in the godfather. the latest polls from the los angeles times show she is one percentage point behind sanders in terms of all registered democrats. she pulls ahead by ten points if you look at likely voters. sanders had trailed clinton by eight points in the poll's march result. >> if there is a large voter turnout, we will win. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: sanders even hit her on her national security decisions a day after she gave a scathing indictment of donald trump's fitness to be the commander in chief. >> one of the differences between secretary clinton and myself is i helped lead the opposition to that disastrous war -- [cheers and applause] while she supported that disastrous war. >> reporter: at a women for hillary event in culver city outside los angeles, many female

3:10 am
voters wished bernie sanders would concede after the primary on tuesday. >> he's kind of done, and i would love to see his supporters get involved in what we're doing on the hillary campaign. >> i think bernie has good ideas, but i think he needs to come on and unite with hillary. >> reporter: but first, clinton must get past bernie sanders here in california. she doesn't want to lose in the golden state and appear to go limping into the convention. lou? lou: jennifer, thank you. jennifer griffin, reporting. here's an interesting statistic for you. 28 million republicans have turned out to vote in the republican primary elections this season. that compares to just 23.7 million democrats. the top issue for voters in this year's election, of course, is the economy, and american workers today receiving what could only be called disastrous news. after hiring in may slowed to the lowest level in nearly six years. only 38,000 jobs were added last month.
3:11 am
only 25,000 of those jobs in the private sector, that's the fewest since february of 2010. the unemployment rate fell to 4.7% despite that paltry job creation rate. but that decline, of course, driven as a result of people leaving the work force. nearly half a million americans dropped out of the work force last month, a share of americans employed or looking for a job fell to 62.6 percent. the result? a record number of americans not in the labor force now, almost 95 million people. 94,708,000 people. some economists put the number of those not working or who have given up working at more than 900 million people. 100 million people. frankly put, these numbers are not only disappointing, but clear signals that our economy is in profound and lasting trouble unless we begin to deal with longstanding, difficult and
3:12 am
systemic issues. and we desperately need new leadership to meet the challenges facing us. we're coming right back with much, much more. please stay with us. ♪ ♪ lou: republicans have five million more voters than democrats in this primary season. trump winning over voters and moving closer to the oval office. and hillary clinton doing her best to run from her scandals. >> honestly, she's guilty as hell. she's guilty as hell. the fact that they even allow her to participate in this race is a disgrace to the united states, it's a disgrace to our nation. lou: fred barnes, my guest here next. texas preparing for more heavy rain and flooding. video of the deadly, devastating floods in texas next. stay with us, we'll be right

okawhoa!ady? [ explosion ] nothing should get in the way of the things you love. ♪ get america's fastest internet. only from xfinity. lou: republican national committee head reince priebus speaking out against bill kristol's whatever you want to describe it, uncert adjective -- insert adjective here, his efforts to enlist david french as an independent candidate. priebus saying, quote: look, i don't want to say anything disparaging against the guy
3:17 am
because i don't know him and i'm sure he's a good person, but it's just this sort of suicide mission and a huge distraction. i don't see it going anywhere. reince priebus, you can say what you wish about him -- and probably i'm amongst those who have said precisely that -- but his ability to be diplomatic is extraordinary. of course, it was the weekly standard's kristol who recently tweeted this. quote: i've won some and i've lost some, but one thing i've always tried not to be a roaring jack ass. in this instance i believe he failed. to take up that matter for just moments is the executive editor of the weekly standard, none other than the great fred barnes. great to have you with us as well. >> thanks, lou. lou: fred, i mean, golly. bill kristol, is he going to give it up now? because as i said, i mean, he says -- he has succeeded in not being a roaring jackass, and -- well, i don't even ask you to agree with that. >> good. lou: seems to be where most people land.
3:18 am
>> well, look, bill is my colleague and friend, we're co-founders of the weekly standard, and we agree on most things, just not this one. look, the effort to get somebody that you might have heard of to be the head, to head the ticket, a third party conservative ticket just seems to have failed. a lot of people didn't want to run. mitch daniels, tom coburn, ben sass -- lou: you know, it's one of those things, if it's such a damn good idea, why didn't bill kristol run? i mean, bill is, you know, whatever his contributions, everything else, i'm going to leave it at this, he's your friend and a co-founder of the weekly standard, and i will say no more. but cease, desist -- [laughter] let us move on. [laughter] let's move on, if you will, to the trump rally in san jose and the outrageous mob that was formed there made up of, we're told, clinton supporters,
3:19 am
sanders supporters, illegal immigrants and an artists -- anarchists. and what they did, it's mob violence. sickening. and mexican flags flying everywhere, and the only one they burned were the american flags being carried by the trump rally. >> uh-huh. well, look, you know, this one is different though because the press has been clear about who was responsible. it was these protesters, demonstrators, the mob outside -- lou: they weren't protesting. i can't call them protesters, i can't call them demonstrators. honest to god, fred, these are thugs. these are criminals. >> but we're talking about the same people. and anyway, they're the ones who attacked. the trump people didn't provoke them. trump himself didn't provoke them. they were -- they attacked the trump people -- lou: by the way, that's exactly what happened in chicago too. they weren't provoked in chicago. the national liberal media carried that narrative and got away with it. it doesn't work this time because, as you say, the media got it straight for some crazy reason.
3:20 am
>> they did get it straight, and the mayor made a big mistake, trying to blame it on donald trump. lou: what a cutie pie he is, isn't he? >> i know. he can't get away with that, and i think it's up to trump to go after him rather than this judge in indiana that he's talking about that nobody cares about. that's not helping in the campaign. lou: yeah. >> but this guy, this is an important event, and the mayor of san jose made a huge mistake trying to blame trump. i wonder whether it was the mayor himself who got the police to hold back. lou: you think he gave them a standdown order? >> i have no idea, but -- lou: we're going to do our best to find out. >> it happened in baltimore in the riot there a year ago -- lou: i've got to tell you, the marriott hotel, by the way, where that woman is pressed against the doors and those overweight -- i'll just rephrase it. those folks on the other side of the door that didn't open it, i mean, damn them. i mean, they are --
3:21 am
>> yeah. lou: -- unbelievable. >> you know, the police, you know, one thing about the police in this thing, you know they didn't want to stand down. you know they didn't want to stay back. you know they naturally want to protect people and keep the streets safe. but they didn't. lou: well, the police chief was standing there with, you know, sucking on his thumbs. i mean, it was embarrassing for the entire city. and, by the way, to be clear, i'm not talking about the police department, i'm talking about the people on the other side of those marriott doors that didn't open them instantly to help that woman. let's turn, if we may, to this poll, mason dixon. clinton leading trump by three points in florida. he's getting a lot of good news here. what do you make of it and where are we headed? >> well, i think what it shows is in florida and many other big states and across the country trump is tied with hillary clinton. and, you know, one of the things i think is the problem with the
3:22 am
media is they just sort of have taken this as a given, but it's a huge achievement by trump. i mean, i certainly didn't think even a few weeks ago that he would be tied with hillary now and moving pretty swiftly past her perhaps. and the other thing that's happened, of course, is remember when all the republicans were worried that trump would be killed in a landslide, and the republicans would lose the senate and the house -- lou: i heard -- i don't know what they believed, but i heard the nonsense from primarily establishment republicans. yeah, i remember that. >> indeed. but they really had that fear. well, that fear is gone when trump's tied with hillary. that means he's not going to be dragging republicans down. lou: they have, if you will, new fears, and that is they will be discomfited by the man they have insulted and harassed and harangued for ten months. i'm thinking they're going to change -- they need to tone it down, don't you think, fred? >> yeah. but trump --
3:23 am
lou: couldn't resist. >> trump needs to tone it down on that judge and concentrate on things people want to hear about, i want to hear about, you want to hear about. lou: absolutely want to hear about all he's going to do to, what's the expression? make america great again. >> that's it. lou: fred, we appreciate it. who do you think will win in california next tuesday, clinton or sanders? cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. we'll have the answers for you, of course, monday. by the way, we're going to take up the judge issue that fred spoke of with newt gingrich, the former speaker, here later in the broadcast. also follow me on twitter @loudobbs, like me on facebook, toll me on instagram at -- follow me on instagram, links to everything at loudobbs.com. folks in texas tonight, unfortunately, are bracing for more severe flooding. more rain expected over the weekend as well. that will drench already saturated areas. at least 450 buildings in the
3:24 am
state are now underwater in granbury near ft. worth. am sure video capturing these two people as they escape from their suv just before it was swept away. i mean -- >> get out! get out! get out! lou: i think it may have been a good thing they were yelling. they didn't seem to be moving. why not, i cannot imagine. but anyway, they're safe and very lucky. the governor of texas, by the way, greg abbott, urging people not to drive through those floodwaters. those floods have killed at least 11 people, five soldiers from fort hood died when their vehicle was washed off a low bridge. four of the soldiers remain missing tonight. up next, the may jobs report making it clear we need a jobs president. >> we're going to bring back our jobs, we're going to take our

3:27 am
3:28 am
3:29 am
lou: a few thoughts now on the events shaping the trump campaign. democratic leaders have been slow to respond to last night's left-wing violence against those who were attending the trump rally in san jose. that mob described on the scene as a combination of clinton and sanders supporters, illegal immigrants and anarchists. so far only clinton has personally condemned that violence. sanders and president obama personally, they've remained quiet. and i, for one, don't expect them to find their voices anytime soon. that narrative doesn't work for the leaders of the left. just two days ago president obama was more than happy to take a shot at donald trump while touting his economic performance.
3:30 am
warning politicians who are preying on our economic fierce, said the president. and today we find out that the economy added the fewest number of jobs since september of 2010. an abysmal 38,000 jobs in may. trump slammed what he called incompetent leaders for what he called the devastating bombshell report. and once again vowing to bring jobs back to america. another of trump's top issues also coming into focus today as they tend to do. a smuggling network has been helping middle eastern men cross into the united states through our southern border with mexico. one of those illegal immigrants, an afghan with ties to the taliban and associated with a plot to carry out a terrorist attack. the man apprehended by u.s. authorities some 15 miles north of the mexico/arizona border last november. this as new government reports show illegal immigration
3:31 am
surging, up 57% in less than two years according to the new analysis. trump is the only presidential candidate who has raised and discussed the most critical issues that face this country and our working families. from securing our borders to creating jobs here at home, bringing manufacturing back to america, restoring prosperity to all americans. in my view, his america first policy is the best of all possible guides in all policy choices. and there is no close second choice, in my opinion, to donald trump as president. our quotation of the evening, this one from john f. kennedy who said, quote: i look forward to a great future for america, a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint; its wealth with our wisdom; its power with our purpose. we're coming right back, stay with us.
3:32 am
just a day after endorsing donald trump, paul ryan puts some distance between himself and the republican nominee. >> look, the comment about the judge the other day just was out of left field, for my mind. it's reasoning i don't relate to. lou: so just exactly who does ryan think he is? and is he ever in possession of facts? we'll take it up with former speaker of the house newt gingrich here next. and a fishing trip for this former navy pilot didn't go exactly as he had planned. we have the dramatic video and the fascinating story that goes along with it straight ahead.
3:33 am
3:34 am
3:35 am
3:36 am
lou: house speaker paul ryan saying he's voting for trump but then a day later criticized trump's remarks about judge overseeing the trump university lawsuits. >> look, the comment about the judge the other day was out of left field for my mind. it's reasoning i don't relate to. i completely disagree with the thinking behind that. so he clearly says and does things i don't agree with, and i've had to speak up on time to time when that has occurred, and i'll continue to do that if that's necessary. i hope it's not. lou: joining us now to talk about that, the violence out in san jose and the trump candidacy, we're joined by the former speaker of the house, newt gingrich, 2012 presidential candidate, author of many books
3:37 am
and co-author of the new book, "rediscovering god in america." newt, great to have you with us. let's get to this thing, first of all, the unpleasantness between paul ryan and donald trump over some remarks he made about mexican heritage as a disqualifier for the judge in that federal case against trump university. >> well, so, first of all, i agree with speaker paul ryan. i think that that was a dumb comment. i think it was, frankly, an insulting comment, and i think that trump's got to learn to control himself. but there's a deeper lesson here. lyndon johnson used to say if you want me to be in on the landing, i want to be in on the takeoff. and i'll tell you, much as i admire donald trump, and i think my record's pretty clear, much as paul ryan's trying to find a way to work with donald trump, if all we get are the landings and we're never involved in the take ahs, we owe him no marley hold -- particularly holding back a punch when we think he's
3:38 am
doing something wrong. lou: by the way, i agree bringing up his heritage as such was an absolute mistake. but i do think there's some context, and he may have well been using shorthand, and i'd like to get your judgment about these facts that relate to, quote-unquote, heritage issues around the judge. if we could go -- let's see the full screen on this, because it is, i think, interesting. he is a member of the la raza lawyers' association, that is the judge, he is a member of the hispanic national bar association of the latino judges' association, the national hispanic prosecutors' association, he's a former colleague and friend of one of the plaintiff attorneys, jason forge, who worked -- they worked together as federal prosecutors. one of the firms for the
3:39 am
clintons, that is, for the plaintiffs, robbins, geller or, budman and dowd, the firm involved in the trump lawsuit, paid the clintons $675,000 to the clintons, and in part of that time, in part of that time during the trial itself. judge curiel also donated -- i'm just going to go through some of this, to javier becerra, one of the most left-wing members of congress, as you well know. supported the dream act, a prominent member of the hispanic caucus. the list goes on here. now, to what degree -- again, as i said, he made a mistake in talking about his mexican heritage -- but as we look at this relationship of activism to what are advocacy groups in point of fact, personal relationships and money crossing here in front of him, it does give one pause, does it not, whether the public is the forum for it or a courtroom for a
3:40 am
motion, the reality is there is much there that is troubling. >> yeah. and, look, i mean, trump hires good lawyers. if that case can be made intelligently, they ought to move for a change of venue. they ought to say, look, this judge is at the same timed. lou: yep. >> that's a perfectly legal judicial maneuver. but a presidential candidate has got to grow up and understand as a presidential candidate you do not smear somebody based on their ethnic background, you don't make random comments about -- lou: yeah. >> and by the way -- lou: do you think he actually intended to do that? i'm asking you to divine his meaning. do you think he intended to do that? >> i think he -- [laughter] look, i think he's talking about somebody of mexican descent in a negative way, what am i suppose to take from that? does this mean every black judge who belongs total naacp is somehow infloat give me a break here. lou: i don't think that's fair, newt.
3:41 am
each one of these are ethnic-based, ethnocentric organizations. every one of them. this isn't about his personal profile and involvement in the american american bar association -- >> wait a second -- lou: committed to the, quote-unquote, community rather than the law, and i think there's some reason here to pause -- >> lou, lou, there may be a good reason for the lawyers to go into the court and demand -- lou: i agreed with you at the outset. i agreed that was a mistake to refer to his mexican heritage. >> right -- lou: two parents who came over from mexico. >> but it is a big mistake, and the deeper point here that trump has got to learn. if you're going to run a campaign where you have allies, your allies have to know what you're going to say, and they have to be able to rely on you to not get them in an embarrassing position where they can't defend you. frankly, if you haven't briefed them in advance, they don't owe you a defense, and that gets to be a mess. lou: right. i'm thinking as you say this,
3:42 am
and forgive me for my appetite for irony. i'm thinking that just as the attorneys and trump and his attorneys could have better perhaps pursued the goals that are his, and perhaps rightly so, appropriately so, in private with the judge in his quarters or in his courtroom, perhaps one of the people being considered for vice president would have been better to do the same with his comments to the presumptive nominee. any pause, any pause on the irony? >> the fact is i'm not talking to you as a potential anything. i'm telling you as a leader of the republican party who's been around a long time that i care very deeply that donald trump win. i do not believe donald trump can win unless he gets his pattern under control and his allies know that they can rely on him. lou: i think, by the way, he's very fortunate that he has friends like you. and i do mean that sin
3:43 am
seriously -- sincerely and absolutely. newt, we thank you for being here. >> thank you. lou: absolutely terrific to talk with you, as always. we've talked more about that than either of us, i'm sure, wanted to. but in the service to the nation, we did. newt gingrich, thank you, sir. >> thank you. lou: one veteran's navy training may have just saved his life. a former naval airuater, a navy -- aviator, a navy pilot, forced to tread water for more than 20 hours after he fell off his own fishing boat north of tampa, florida. and guess what? he didn't have a life jacket. guess what else? he's 61 years old. he was potted the next day -- spotted the next day, thank the lord, by a coast guard helicopter treading water for 20 hours. i'm telling you, whatever they trained him to do in the navy, he's a very fortunate fellow. he was airlifted to safety and help.
3:44 am
the vet able to return home, no physical injuries. rule number one, by the way, for all mariners -- now, he was an aviator taking up boating -- but all mariners new or old, please do not get separated from your boat. up next, the uss harry truman now in the eastern mediterranean where it is conducting airstrikes against islamic state targets. i take that up with ambassador john bolton here next. stay with us. ♪ ♪
3:45 am
3:46 am
3:47 am
3:48 am
lou: joining us now, former u.s. ambassador to the united nations, american enterprise senior fellow john bolton, fox news contributor, a great american. ambassador, it's great to have you with us. i just want to update one thing. just now in miami president obama has condemned the violence in san jose against trump's supporters following that rally. so that leaves now only senator sanders to step forward and, of course, jerry brown -- one would think -- would be appropriate. but at least the president has stepped forward. great to see you. let's start with, if i may, this mob violence in san jose and how you believe donald trump should handle it and should respond to it. >> well, it's obviously utterly unjustified. i noticed today hillary clinton
3:49 am
has blamed trump in part for creating the conditions where his supporters are attacked. lou: yeah. >> and i think that really is the opening for trump to say, look, there is simply no excuse for anybody to use physical violence in america. this is what free speech is all about. i think this is very to tent for most -- potent for most americans who don't go to demonstrations, watch their politics on television. but i think back to the '68 election and nixon's use of the law and order issue. i think it plays to trump's advantage. lou: yeah. to his advantage, also the mayor standing down apparently, it appears there's no other reason why those law enforcement officers would not come to the aid of citizens. to people period. the marriott hotel is going to have a lot of explaining to do about why those tours did not open for -- doors did not open for a woman who was being assaulted by that mob. these are difficult issues.
3:50 am
and the mayor blaming trump, again, for his campaign. you know, i guess the way to say it is darn his hide. >> yeah. look, there's simply no excuse for it. and the demonstrators themselves, if they think they're making their point, whatever -- lou: these weren't demonstrators. these were a bunch of thugs. they did exactly what they meant to which was to interfere with the civil rights of the trump supporters. >> right. and they're just, all of their actions were to trump's benefit. if that's the game they're going to play, it's not going to end up way they like it. lou: i want to turn to, very quickly, your thoughts about how donald trump should respond to hillary clinton's, it was, you know, attack on trump, but it was postured as a major foreign policy speech. how should he respond to that? >> well, i think in part he needs to go after her on her lack of qualifications. you know, you're not qualified to be president just because you
3:51 am
sat in a chair at the state department inside an office called secretary of state for four years. it'd be nice if you had some accomplishments, which she does not. she has many failures she has yet to explain. and i think going through that litany is important to undercut this attack because -- lou: well, you know, trump has done that. he has attacked her record on egypt, on -- he talks about the entire middle east that this administration and particularly her four years as secretary of state, they destabilized and -- ambassador, we're out of time. as always, john, it's great to see you. thanks so much for being with us, ambassador john bolton. up next, donald trump says if you have trouble sleeping, just listen to any of lying, crooked hillary's speeches. that's right, he's added another descriptive word. he took that away from somebody else, who was that?

lou: in our online poll to last night's question, the answer is 94% of you saying donald trump can withstand attacks of establishment elites and still win the presidency. looks like we're about to find out. joining us now, radio host, fox news contributor or, tammy bruce, and the host of red eye, tom shah lube. i tried to mimic the term when
3:56 am
you do the top of your show. [laughter] i didn't quite get it, i'm going to work on it. let's turn to hillary clinton for a minute. susan sarandon, whatever her name is -- >> i can never figure it out. lou: -- says imminent that she's going to be indicted. >> you know, every now and then actors -- lou: i thought she was a crazy left-winger. >> no, look, every now and then they will say something normal. i know a number of actors myself, they admit they're not really normal -- lou: tammy does this. she takes one actress and expands it to all -- e bit ofr] hollywood. this is actually when you have lost susan sarandon, you're in trouble. she's a feminist, she should be exactly the kind of woman who's supporting hillary clinton, but she feels that, look -- and she's right. in the normal world, a person facing what hillary's facing would be indicted. but that's our problem, is that the rule of law doesn't apply to hillary clinton. lou: tom? >> susan sarandon is an actress. actresses live in the moment. she's a good actress, so she knows her craft.
3:57 am
she's in the moment, she's in the bernie moment. [laughter] she is so fired up about bernie that she is as anti-hillary as any right-wing republican. the minute she gets the nomination, she will be in the hillary moment. lou: i'm thinking she ought to be thinking about trump as a possible vote. when trump takes away lying from ted cruz and attaches it now to what is a string of descriptors to hillary, she is now lying, crooked hillary -- >> excellent. lou: i mean, there's an inventory, he makes -- >> i disagree. tell me why you think -- lou: because what? >> i think it's excellent, because he's proving -- the greenies will love this, he's recycling. [laughter] he's using one name, he's not -- lou: she set you up. >> it's a good nickname, and he's going the use it again, and i'm very impressed with that. and because it also fits. she is a liar -- lou: that half, half the sanders voters right there, recycling. >> it's true. that's a good angle.
3:58 am
if he uses that -- i was disappointed. i thought, you know, the nicknames have to be special, so i think you assign them, and you retire them. lou: yeah, you have to admit, tammy, there is the inverse view that it's a retread and a little tiresome. >> like hillary. is that wrong? i'm sorry. lou: i think consonance is also a powerful -- >> this other word, she could be a fibbing feminist. lou: yeah, i like that. >> psychologically, politically they're brilliant because if you can reinforce the most negative point of your opponent with something that's funny and people use with their name, it's invalue. lou: why didn't he just attach a name to the judge and let it go at that? was that a big mistake? >> he doesn't see the judge clearly as a long-term political opponent that he has to define. lou: right. >> he's making a choice and, hey, obama attacks the supreme court judges all the time to some degree, he doesn't get attacked. lou: well, that, of course,
3:59 am
would be a problem. >> i've got a good nickname. i just thought of it. >> oh, yeah? >> the ultimate insider, capitol hillary. lou: oh, i like that. [laughter] >> no, that's too grand. >> yeah? [laughter] lou: there is a little grandiosity, but that's way he is. a little grandiosity is nature. it's extraordinary. the mobs in san jose, trump -- is this going to be long term -- very quickly, we're out of time. >> it's clear that democratic party planned for a summer of riots. we believe that the young people of campuses have been trained into doing this, so, yes, it's going to keep going on. >> how long can we keep blaming it on trump? trump's haters are his fault too. lou: i love that mayor in san jose. he thinks he's so cute, he can get away with the nonsense -- >> but this is going to help. they're so lost -- lou: tell tammy we're out of time, what does she do? >> i'm irish.
4:00 am
lou: takes more time. tom, you're a very good person. you listen to me so carefully. thank you, tammy, thank you, tom, we appreciate you being with us. [laughter] thanks for joining us, have a great weekend. kimberly guilfoyle among our . john: they are the major party nominees, finally we have alternatives to trump or clinton. third-party candidates. >> we need a green president. john: who? >> the third party i say makes sense is the libertarian. >> this is the largest convention in libertarian party history. [cheers] >> thousands just gather to choose libertarian nominees for president and vice president. >> this is a chance where like-minded people can come together and try to make the world a better place. >> very exciting for the libertarians.
