tv   Lou Dobbs Tonight  FOX Business  September 18, 2017 11:00pm-12:00am EDT

11:00 pm
understand, lou. lou: that's it for us tonight. tomorrow night, fred fleitz, ed rollins among our guests. keep the right here on "fox business"." lou: good evening everybody. said big week for president trump who is in new york city meeting with world leaders for the 72nd united nations general assembly. the annual summit trying to tackle a number of international challenges chief among them north korea's nuclear threat, iran's nuclear deal and syria's civil war to this is also the president's debut with the united nations, an organization that he criticized throughout his campaign for the presidency as weak, incompetent and hardly a friend to democracy. mr. trump wasn't wrong but now he is our president and he's
11:01 pm
much more measured in his criticism today saying we are changing business as usual at the u.n.. "fox news" chief white house correspondent john roberts with our report. >> good good evening during the campaign as president trump promoted an america first policy but he is making clear here at the united nations general assembly america first is not main america alone. president trump was determined to have a good first day as the u.n. general assembly taking no chances as first bilaterals with familiar faces. emanuel macron of france and benjamin netanyahu. >> i want to say america's position towards the u.n. has been unequivocal. it's been strong and it has more clarity and conviction. >> netanyahu of user praise of
11:02 pm
the present on three occasions is mostly laid to rest questions about how strong an ally of the president be toward israel. president trump repeating his commitment to finally seek peace between israel and the palestinians. >> i think we -- israel would like to see it in the palestinians would like to see it and i can tell you the trump administration would like to see it so we are working very hard and will see what happens. historically people say it can't happen i say can happen. >> at the bilateral with french president macron was like meeting an old friend macron expressing how much he appreciated president trump attending bastille day back in july. >> we are proud to have you and your wife here. president trump revealing he was so impressed with what he saw during france's military parade he wants to have something similar here. >> i've been thinking about the 4th of july, pennsylvania avenue avenue, great parade.
11:03 pm
president trump appeared to find a friendly audience at his first official u.n. event a meeting to discuss reform of the 72-year-old organization. u.n. ambassador nikki haley revealing attendance was so high they had to move the gathering. >> we had a good vigor room to accommodate everyone here today. >> it during the campaign the present was critical of u.n. tweeting while it has great potential right now it's just a club for people to get together and talk and have a good time, so sad. this morning president trump was less strident in his language and no less forceful in his call to change the culture of the u.n.. >> we encourage the secretary-general to fully use his authority to cut through the bureaucracy reform outdated systems and make firm decisions to advance the u.s. core mission. >> at present appears to have an eager eager partner in his drive for reform u.n. secretary-general antonio botero's joining at the u.n. to focus less on process and more on people and results.
11:04 pm
>> someone recently asked and my answer was simple. the terrorist promised to reform u.n. would give the world or value for its money in the front president trump had a similar message for the 193 member state and earlier this year for nato nations. >> we must ensure that no one and no member state shoulders a disproportionate share of the burden and that's militarily or financially. >> tomorrow morning to present will give his first address to the u.n. general assembly. that's a 10:30. terrorist north korea and iran will be the top of his agenda. u.n. ambassador nikki haley put it he will slap the right people and hug the right people. lou: john roberts thank you. president trump also conforming to bureaucracy and mismanagement at the united nations. saying the results are not in
11:05 pm
line with the u.s. institution. president trump isn't pleased that the united states remains the biggest contributor to the funding of the u.n. providing nearly 30% of the peacekeeping budget this year, more than $2 billion out of a total of $7.3 billion budget. my first guest tonight says her european allies to pick up the slack. former u.s. ambassador to the united nations "fox news" contributor john bolton. it's good to have you here. this is hardly a new thing. i love the good terrorists talking about what keeps him up at night is what he knew was there waiting for him when he took on the assignment is secretary-general, bureaucracy. >> like all those portuguese socialism. lou: what is the game here? this is an institution that is corrupt to its core. it is absolutely, it is owned and operated by third world
11:06 pm
nations most of which are either socialistic communistic or utterly a dictatorship. we are watching a security council that is frozen by president's. >> other than that what could go wrong? the president is a very optimistic man so he comes into this particular swamp in the new york suburb swamp of the washington swamp and wants to do something about it. i wish him good luck but i've seen these efforts of quote unquote reform come and go over the last 30 plus years and i think this one will probably go on in the same direction. there's only one change that can make the u.n. more responsive and that's to eliminate this system up and the tory contributions sometimes called assessed contribution and make all contributions voluntary so that the agencies actually have
11:07 pm
to perform to get their money. how's that for revolutionary? lou: i can just see the metrics for which the united nations will be judged. how many peace processes have resulted in peace? how bennie peacekeeping ventures have resulted in peace collects. >> this is an important point because the effect of u.n. peacekeeping missions has historically been to freeze the conflict and perpetuated. we started out for example in 1992 to have a referendum on the future of the western sahara in. this is one of the great crises of modern times and we needed to have a referendum. it total electorate with 70,000 people. that was 26 years ago. that referendum is still not taken place in that peacekeeping force is still out there. what we need to do is be able to apply our money for the things we think are important and other nations can do the same. we may not contribute anywhere
11:08 pm
near 22%. europeans like these activities let them pay for it. lou: we can get them to pay their fair share in nato which is created specifically to assure their survival. now to go to the united nations and ask for some sort of equity and fairness and contribution this is what drives me nuts about the united nations. it's a joke. the failure. why invest at all? >> the europeans know if the united states unilaterally started making its contribution at the level it wanted to domestic pressure on their countries to do exactly the same would the unbelievably high. a german diplomat wants it to me when i said why they decide your own amount to contribute he said we have to be told what amount to contribute. lou: meanwhile we pony up money.
11:09 pm
it's really preposterous. do you think this institution, why in the world do we perpetuate? it's a joke. everybody knows it's a joke. a great geopolitical minds come together as nations or other institutions and then make the world a safer place. it is palpably a lie. >> the political institutions have failed. jeane kirkpatrick once asset the u.s. should withdraw from the u.n. pitchy pause for moment and said it's not worth the trouble and the reason for that is we have to overcome -- lou: we could lose a couple billion a year. >> we moved to volunteer and if that doesn't take their forms the new withdraw. lou: the president tomorrow will give an port and speech we are told that i've never seen an important speech by president to the general assembly. >> well is worth a try so we'll see what the president does. george w. bush came up here each
11:10 pm
year and refer to it as an annual trip to the wax museum so we will see a president trump has better luck. lou: we wish him all the very best. thank you very much john bolton. the fourth day of protests in st. louis over the quibble of a white former police officer in the shooting of a black man. police arrested more than 80 people last night. they confiscated we are told five weapons as those protesters turned violent. and all 140 people have been arrested in four days of demonstrations. turning from missouri to california which is one step closer to becoming a sanctuary state. i will have a few thoughts about the great state of california which is defying president trump and every opportunity of course. we are coming right back with much more. stay with us. president trump will pursue middle east peace at his first u.n. meeting. >> we are going to be discussing
11:11 pm
many things among them peace among the palestinians and israel. >> we'll take up the presence debut at the united nations and also what to do with kim jong un un. we will be talking with general jack keane here next. and another hurricane rolling toward puerto rico. evacuation orders issued import arrigo as hurricane maria has been upgraded to eight category 4 storm. we will have a full report on that and much more parodontax, the toothpaste that helps prevent bleeding gums. if you spit blood when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. help stop the journey of gum disease. try parodontax toothpaste. ♪ money managers are pretty much the same. all but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees.

fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

11:15 pm
lou: breaking news now, the fbi wiretap former trump campaign chairman paul manafort before and after last year's presidential election. unnamed sources telling "cnn" that the intelligence collected under secret court orders reportedly sparked concerns among investigators that manafort had some sort of relationship with the russians and that they say was the basis. what is unclear is if president trump, then candidate trump during part of the investigation was wiretap as well. this is an extraordinary story, an outrageous story and in fact
11:16 pm
the fbi investigating and wiretapping the chairman of a presidential campaign, much to follow. the u.s. military today flew to the one bombers and war jet fighters of the korean peninsula. a live fire drills conducted alongside south korean and japanese warplanes in response to pyongyang's launch of the intermediate-range ballistic missile over japan last week. president trump today suggested we bring back military parades. >> it was two hours and it was military might and i think a tremendous thing for france in the spirit of france. because of what i witnessed we made do something like that on july 4 in washington on pennsylvania avenue. lou: the president referring to the bastille day parade that he and the first lady attended and
11:17 pm
sparked his interest in resurrecting military parades in this country. think about it. when was the last time you watched a military parade of any size in this country? the last major military parade in washington d.c. was in 1991 to mark the end of the first persian gulf war that included troops, tanks and other vehicles vehicles, a massive display a victory parade something we haven't had a lot of reason to celebrate since. joining me now retired sergeant jack king "fox news" analyst great to have you with us general. >> it's good to be here lou. lou: so many threat to the country right now but i do want to start with the president's idea. this seems to me like a grand idea. does that appeal to you? >> it does. i was in paris prior to that
11:18 pm
parade that took place there. i asked about it and i didn't realize myself that the parade on the celebration of their anniversary is largely military one. i think on the 4th of july across america there are all sorts of parades obviously and fireworks displays that there is limited military participation. there is some to be sure but that one focused on the 4th of july in d.c., i think it's a great idea. also the military has a concert here and some of our viewers may not know that in the evening prior to the fireworks display. it would be a great day. lou: i would hope that every community in the country would have a parade without a military contingent nearby. it's just such, it's something that i just think is a brilliant idea and i wonder why the
11:19 pm
military eliminated so many of these engagements, parading gauge men's by their various units. i suspect budget but again you can suspect something worse that our military should always be on display i think. >> i agree with you but the military, we don't force ourselves on anybody clearly so here we have a president that wants us -- small-town america, i've been in some of the parades myself and there may not be military in the vicinity to go to that parade but they have vets in the parade. they have fire departments in the parade. lou: our small community in new jersey, they put on quite a show and it was a terrific one. actually you are at every event
11:20 pm
including memorial day. general let's turn to what's going on right now in north korea. the president will be talking to the general assembly of the united nations no matter how much we might wish otherwise which is a failed institution incapable of achieving its mission. this has a best in record magar chrissy if not outright failure over its entire town of existence. where can this president, can this president rely on our allies beyond japan south korea and the region to be supportive and helpful in the contest that may come not with not only north korea but with china? >> well the president secretary tillerson and ambassador nikki haley, at least for the time being they are going to stay within the context of the u.n. because they have had success in achieving u.n. resolutions to sanction north korea. they haven't been as tough as they want but as a now they don't want to walk away from it as they have such large
11:21 pm
international community support in isolating north korea being the pariah nation that it truly is. i believe at some point china and certainly russia are not likely to go along with the measures that the country wants and at that point i suspect we will pull away from the u.n. sanction regime and have them go at the sanctions with china and against china ourselves. i think that's kind of the path we are on. the other thing that is happening here is kim jong-un is racing to get this nuclearized icbms because he wants, if he believes he gets it, as soon as he gets that he thinks the united states will acquiesce an accepted and at that point he will start negotiating away some of the sanctions and some minor accommodations he's willing to make not giving up on many things in terms of nuclear icbms. that's where his head is and why he's moving so rapidly to do
11:22 pm
this. he knows full well that sanctions really do take time to take hold and have an economic impact. lou: and could you say that sanctions haven't worked at all with north korea? they have not slowed the development of ballistic missile technology and with the assistance of the chinese and also nuclear warheads which are being miniaturized to ride on most icbms which are being developed very quickly. >> you know they have never worked. the only thing that's going to work are sanctions that are tougher than anything we have done before. the trump administration is very clear-eyed about this lou. they know full well that sanctions by themselves may not bring north korea to position that we want them to bn and they have a full dose of skepticism about what they can achieve the sanctions. they also believe strongly that china can have a considerable impact on forcing north korea to
11:23 pm
change its behavior and they have not given up on that. lou they haven't given up but they are right about what her role china has played in creating the monster that is north korea and responsibility that will have to be shared with china if misadventure is the result. general jack keane, good to see you. >> good seeing you. lou: assured gardner pulled to the question is do you support the presidents that call for 4th of july military parades? we would like to hear from you on this. cast your vote on twitter @lou dobbs follow me on twitter @lou dobbs like the on facebook and instagram @lou dobbs tonight. hurricane maria max doubling in strength and heading for the irma ravaged caribbean. a hurricane intensified to a category 4 or maximum sustained winds of 130 miles an hour

abuse-related crimes since last year. ways going on and why aren't we learning more. attorneys for president trump questioning how much to cooperate with the mueller investigation. white house counsel donald mccann was pushing for a slower approach to protect executive power. pulitzer prize winning columnist for the "new york post," michael goodwin. what's breaking right now is paul manafort was in fact wiretapped by the fbi last year both during the campaign, the transition and such. >> and even this year, according to cnn. let's hang it on them. the wiretapping continues until this year.
11:37 pm
and the "new york times" has a story on its website that man for the's home was raid in july and that he was told according to the "new york times" that he will probably be indicted. so manafort who was the campaign chairman for a brief period. michael flynn who was the national security advisor, was thought to be under mueller's sights. so this is a fast-moving pace. lou: it's fast moving but it's also peculiar. two or three weeks ago the fbi said there is no evidence the president was ever wiretapped. these conversations with paul manafort that he was having one would think some of that would be with the president and the candidate for whom he was working for a period of three months. >> manafort also has an
11:38 pm
apartment in trump tower. all the denials i thought were splitting hairs and parsing the definitions of "is." james comey, nothing like that, i would know. and clapper the same thing. but they clearly were tapping phones in trump tower with paul manafort. lou: if this had happened, if this were president obama's justice department tapping a presidential candidate, the national media would explode. >> absolutely. there will be continued splitting of hairs. the president will never get credit for being right about this. lou: the vast democratic left-wing media will protect their own. >> this is clearly an explosive
11:39 pm
story because the president himself may have been picked up on these conversations with manafort. the president of the united states is being picked up on wiretaps -- it's not about the campaign -- lou: president trump, candidate elect, candidate, saying straightforward he was wiretapped and our fbi is lying to us about it. in fact it appears he was wiretapped. >> that's right. lou: his definition by the way of wiretapping trump tower, they are wiretapping him. >> that was march. here we are in the middle of september and it's just finally coming out. lou: we've right now as a country, we have a government we can't trust. the justice department is in the hands of a new administration,
11:40 pm
and within it the fbi is also run without any hesitation a today balanc -- a cabal of democ activists in stead of investigating crimes and terrorism against its citizens and the nation. >> you have say we can't trust the government. but i would say donald trump the president of the united states cannot trust the government either. james comey and others. lou: he's got a deep state. go to judicial watch. i wish i had the specific. see chris farrell, the head of versus gaightss at -- the head of judicial watch talk about the deep state and what president trump is up against. go to youtube, look up
11:41 pm
judicial watch and the panel on the deep state. i assure you it is chilling what they relate. >> one of the aspects they are look at is the hillary clinton emails. the state department is still protecting hillary clinton's emails. lou: the state department is owned lock, stock and barrel by the democratic party and i think it has for 0 years. >> this is a crucial moment. we'll soon find out whether president obama was explicitly wiretapped. it would be an extraordinary event. lou: michael goodwin. thank you so much. please roll the video. as we depart from all of this. that's a frightening first image, folks. the largest living reptile on trying to take a bite out of
