thanks so much for watching "strange inheritance."' and remember -- you can't take it with you. ♪ preparedness. thank you at home. now here's lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everybody. president trump today reminding citizens why they chose him to become our plt. becauspresident.because of all e candidates, democrats and republicans who ran for the president in 2016, there was only one willing to take on the elites and the establishment. america first un unequivocally e trump doctrine and that doctrine illuminating all of this president's policies. today president trump announced he's taking action against those nations that subsidize their manufacturers and then dump their products into the u.s. economy at the expense of our

workers and diminish profits for our manufacturers. we'll have a full report in moments on the new trump trade policy. and also the reaction of the u.s. multinationals who have driven our disastrous trade policy for decades also tonight, russian president vladimir putin claiming his country has an unstoppable nuclear and power cruise missile that is hard for president putin to demonstrate to the world because the thing apparently can't even fly yet. we'll show you what russian propaganda looks like tonight and move over crooked hillary, crying chuck schumer and pocahontas. president trump has a new nickname for his embattled attorney general and it is so good that special counsel robert mueller may expands his witch hunt investigation to include name branding. we'll take all of that up here tonight with us on the battle

between the deep state and the greg jarrett and political analyst ed rollins, general jack keane joins us and historian doug weed on the historic trump presidency and why the establishment fears him and his policies, a president unafraid to take on elites and who insists on smart government, not dumb government, a government that will work for america and americans our top story tonight, our america first president. tonight the establishment elites, the dupes of wall street and k street in congress are doing their level best to neutralize the america first policies of president trump. and on the line is whether we will perpetuate our national indebtedness to the world or will we also refuse to look squarely at u.s. multinationals that for too long have dictated u.s. trade policy by buying the

votes of senators and congressmen, politicians who are selling out our country and our economy. we now have a president who means to restore prosperity to all americans, to restore our destiny. and that means government has to get smart. we promised that on the campaign trail. and we have to put america first in all things. that scares the hell out of business and political elites, the business establishment and don't doubt for a second that their fear and greed is what is driving at least, in a major part, the deep state motivating the politicized department of justice, the fbi and yes, the special counsel whose every effort is aimed at marginalizing president trump who has succeeded already in changing the direction of this country. president trump means to end dumb government and dumb trade policies that sent millions of american jobs abroad and cost

the american economy trillions of dollars over the past half century. here now is fox news chief white house correspondent john roberts with our report. >> lou, it was really the timing of this announcement that took everyone by surprise. the white house hasn't even figured out how all of this is going to work. but the president clearly was eager to get the word out. >> thank you very much everyone. >> it wasn't on his public schedule today and the white house insiste insisted an annout wasn't coming until next week. but today president trump unveiled punitive sanctions on aluminum and steel. >> 25% for steel, 10% for aluminum. it will be for a long period of time. >> bhiel the a ad ad libbed an announced, it shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. after all the president talked at length during the campaign about the impact of foreign metals being dump into the united states. but the stock market tanked on

the news, down more than 500 points. former u.s. trade representative rob portman is concerned that the president announced tariffs before the final details for finalized. >> it depends which countries might be exempted, which products. we don't know the details yet. i understand that was coming out next week and the president preempted it with his comments today. >> the tariffs are needed to protect certain steel companies and products sensitive to national security. but pat toomy of opinion said we should use existing laws to combat dumping in a statement saying changing course from this approach by invoking national security as a means of imposing huge tariffs on all kinds of imported steel is a big mistake that will increase cost ps on american consumer consumers witr country jobs and invite retaliation from other countries. the action is aimed at china which has been dumping cheap steel products into the u.s. for

decades mple you lik. >> you like the tariffs we're talking about, the tariffs where they won't be dumping on our country. they dump massive amounts of product in our country and it kills, destroys our companies and our jobs. >> but the move may also affect america's closest allies. canada declare any tariff against its steel would be unacceptable. britain said we're particularly concerned by any measures that would impact the uk steel and aluminum industries. one group that definitely likes the plan, the steel and aluminum company chiefs who met with the president today. >> we're convinced that we will see quick action, definitive action and action that is meaningful and long lasting. >> and a day after the white house communications director hope hicks announced that she would soon be leaving 1600 pennsylvania avenue, the white house was shooting down reports that the national security adviser h.r. mcmaster was on his way out the door in a statement the white house saying, there are no personnel announcements at this time.

lou? lou: thank you very much. john roberts from the white house. it's less than three week to go until russia's please dental election and president vladimir putin is eager to show off his country's military might and perhaps pick up a few votes along the way. putin today claimed to have nuclear weapons that its enemies cannot intercept. but the video of that extraordinary new missile that he bragged about didn't show it actually flying. fox news correspondent rich edison with our report. >> a new russian nuclear-powered missile, unlimited range, unpredictable trajectory, invincible against missile defense, all accord to the russian government. video image showing this missile headed towards the west coast of the united states. standing in front of that video and boasting of these claimed advances, russian president vladimir putin.

no one wanted to speak with us constructively. no one has listened to us. listen to us now. putin also unveiled other claimed russian advances. senior state department official says it was deeply unfortunate to depict the video of the attack on the u.s. and it is not the behavior of a responsible national player. >> we don't think it's responsible. we don't think that kind of imagery, a cheesy video of that kind of attack being conducted on the united states as being a responsible action. >> as for the reality of russia's capabilities, two u.s. officials say it's touted new missile is still in development. >> these weapons that are discussed have been in development a very long time. our nuclear posture review takes all of this into account. >> putin delivered these threats in a hall emperor alexander the first built. and less than three weeks before

russia's presidential election. while president putin challenged the west, the candidates permitted to oppose putin debated, throwing insults. the president of the ur ray sha group says putin has great missile and also leads an economy smammer than canada's. >>.>> the state department has t approved $47 million in arm sells to ukraine, 210 antitank missiles and a significant boost of lethal aid to the ukrainian government. coming back, much more ahead. the deep state continues to exert tremendous force in the swamp. stay with us stupid has defined u.s.

trade policy for the last 40 years. but president trump campaigned against stupid and insists on smart government. >> we haven't been treated fairly by other countries. you will have protection for the first time in a long while and you're going to regrow your industries. lou: we take up the president's america first agenda with the smartest political analyst in the country, ed rollins joins us here next and special counsel robert mueller has now been investigating the president for more than ten months. the fbi has been investigating five congressional committees investigating almost seven years of combined investigation of collusion with the russians and what does the special counsel have to show for it all? the answer is zip, zero and zilch. greag jarrett on the endless witch hubt that seems inspired by the establishment and the by the establishment and the deep state. with expedia one click gives you access to

lou: breaking news. house intelligence committee chairman devin nunes is demanding answers from attorney general jeff sessions, answers on how to discredited trump dossier was allowed to be used to obtain a fisa warrant to spy on the trump campaign.

nunes today wrote a letter to sessions. it says, in part, quote, the accuracy of information contained within fisa applications is of utmost importance. only documented and verified information may be used to support fbi application to the fisa court. congressman nunes is giving the justice department until march 8 to explain whether any criminal statutes were violated or whether the rules have been changed. speaking of the beleaguered and beseized attorney general, reports now surfacing that president trump has been referring to jeff sessions as mr. ma goo, a reference to the bumbling cartoon character and speculation of course rising as well about this photo, the three highest ranking officials in the justice department were dining out in washington last night as they show solidarity. sessions breaking bread with

deposit any attorney general rod rosenstein and solicitor general noel francisco in an upscale restaurant across the street from the trump hotel. a little trolling it appears. joining me now, fox news legal analyst greg jarrett. great to see you. >> great to see you, lou. lou: let's start with the nunes letter. that's tough stuff demanding answers and it seems appropriate. >> it is. and one must remember that sessions can't simply say i don't know anything about it. it was the obama administration. no, rod rosenstein, who also ought to be hauled in front of the intelligence committee, signed one of the applications for the warrant to spy on carter page, a trump campaign adviser. so the doj currently has a lot to answer for. sessions will, in typical form as he often does during his con confirmation, appearances, you

know, seems befuddled. he does seem like mr. ma goo. doesn't seem like what's going on. says i'll have to get back to you on that or i don't know anything about it. the guy, as i mentioned, that nunes ought to haul in front of the committee is rod rosenstein. he was in on this and we now know through a couple of committees that the fisa court judgeses were deceived and evidence was concealed. and that's a violation by my count of six felonies. lou: you know, all of that is outrageous, compelling and yet we know that right now the justice department has -- its leadership has a culture of delay delay delay. we never seem to get closure or resolution on any of their investigations, whether by the fbi, the inspector general, it just goes on endlessly. and we've got to find a way to break that. the fbi seemingly no longer knows how to conduct an

investigation. the effect, it seems to me, greg, has been to give everyone in the justice department leadership, who seems extraordinarily guilty of all sorts of infractions, time to cover their trail, to hide evidence. i mean, there's no urgency to that institution. it is utterly mind-boggling. >> which is why it was such a dumb an announcement by sessiono say i'll have the inspector general look at that. the ig investigates misconduct, not crime. there's plenty of compelling evidence of crimes here. the ig doesn't have grand jury subpoena power. can't compel witnesses. the ig has complained to congress that every time he tries to talk to the fbi and the department of justice they dummy up or deflect or they provide him with documents that appear to have been altered or redacted. so you have to have a second

special counsel who has the power to compel. lou: and the fbi has demonstrated its leadership, that it is, in fact now, a state police, a national state police, a secret organization that has been able to push away oversight, whether it's by the president of the united states, they are unresponsive to the u.s. congress, to the senate, both houses of course with oversight responsibility. >> yeah. constitutional authority of oversight. and yet the fbi, for years -- and it became acute during the obama administration -- thumbed their noses at efforts by congress to oversee them. this is what happens when absolute power corrupts and the doj and the fbi have had for too long absolute power. lou: and this mad nonsense that

has been perpetrated by the left, the department of justice is an independent department of the executive branch, the fbi is an independent police state unto itself. i mean, this is ignorance. by the way, this ignorance is supported by speaker ryan, senator mitch mcconnell, the leaders of the house and the senate, because they are part of a massive problem that is threatening this presidency. >> the doj, fbi, independence is one of the great canards perpetrated by those institutions on congress and the american public. it doesn't exist. it was fabricated so they could get away with abuses of power. lou: very quickly, clapper, comey and brennan. >> yeah. lou: the top three former heads of the top three intelligence agencies and the head of the

intelligence community, they have until tomorrow to respond to chairman nunes and the committee. >> and hats off to nunes for demanding answers. if they don't have answer slap them with subpoenas. compel them to testify. those three individuals, comey, clapper and brennan, were the instigators of the dossier. they got it early on and they ran with it to harm trump and, as you said in your intro, marginalize his paren dency. lou: be sure to vote in the poll notonight. do you believe the robert mueller witch hunt is the establishment deep state's retaliation against president trump's america first anti-establishment policies? cast your vote on twitter@low dobbs, like me on facebook, fall low me on instagram. on wall street stocks

lou: a lot to cover in presidential politics in particular tonight. joining us ed rollins former white house plit call director under ronald reagan and fox business political analyst, ed rollins nice to see you. >> nice to be with you. lou: this is an extraordinary time. the president today, it is rumored and also reported but we don't know how reliably, a lot of tension in the white house, an energized group of folks arguing about whether the president should put these duties on countries that have been dumplin dumping aluminum al here. why is there any question about

it? >> there should not been an outside question. people in the white house and the administration are supposed to give the president the best counsel he can. once he makes u makes up his mi, they're not to go out and say i wasn't for it. they ought to keep their mouth shut. lou: once the decision is made by the president of the united states, that should settle it. >> the discussion of the decision ought to be shut down and made internal. i think the thing that amazes me about this white house, 13, 14 months now, how much -- it's like general kelly. you know, it's the president's prerogative whether he wants general kelly or not. if i was the chief of staff and being bad mouthed by my staff, i would kick their ass out of that building. the idea that people aren't happy with general kelly that work for him, that's tough. the only guy he has to please is the president of the united states. when the president isn't happy with the staff you ought to get rid of them. that's the bottom line.

lou: it's amazing his patience with some of these folks, the president. and i suppose without certain knowledge, also general kelly is being very patient. kelly's future, h.r. mcmaster again being rumored to be leaving, hope hicks is leaving. >> again, these rumors are not rumors by the president. they're rumors by the staff. lou: i don't know who they're from. >> we're picking things up and it doesn't do any good. the most absurd thing today was for huckabee to say there are no shake jums iups in the white ho. lou: we elected this man to run the country and get us off of the path of devastation and destruction that we've been on for four decades, to end foreign wars, to end stupid open borders, to actually focus on trade policies that benefit the

country, to merit based immigration system. the man is talking about intelligent -- an intelligent government with intelligent policies and he is surrounded, over on capitol hill, in both parties, by morons who will committed to the business round table, the chamber of commerce and every vested interest in the country to ignore what is in the interest of the country and the future that should be the birthright of every american. >> i couldn't agree more the great etion poweest power oe president is to ability to go to the country and sell the decisions. he has to go around this congress. lou: how many times does he have to sell? >> he has to sell for the next three years if he wants a second term, he has to sell for four years. he's the pulpit. lou: it's time for him to put the pressure on the men who work for him. the man works nonstop. he has more energy than any five

people that you and i know. >> i go back to my point. there's no one there that has the right to be there but the president. the rest of the staff, it's a privilege to serve. it's not a privilege to go out and communicate to the media. give the president the best counsel, bite your tongue, shut your mouth, you don't like something, leave. lou: you hear ryan, ryan doesn't like the president's trade policies. by the way, the business round table, folks, i want to explain, is the, the lobbying organization for 130, 140 u.s. multinationals who sometimes have only a glancing passing passion about the domestic economy. they're so global that they are so, so elite that sometimes it's rare fair air they breathe. >> well, ryan has always been in that camp with the chamber of

commerce what vo you. have you. the president has to say to kelly, you're going to say here, i want you to stay here, go fix it. i want this stuff stopped. i want everybody to serve me, give me the best counsel and i make the decisions and everybody supports me. lou: what's he say to ryan and mcconnell. >> he says to them, i'll take you on. you want -- lou: i think he ought to grab them both figuratively speaking, we're all just passive folks, grab them by the nape of the neck and introduce them to consequences for following the dicta of the change ber of commerce, the business round table, the establishment and the elites, instead of the party and the national interests. this president and his party were elected to get it done for the nation and for all americans, as he put it on the campaign trail. great to have you here. we're coming right back. much more straight ahead. stay with us vladimir putin touting a

supposedly unstoppable nuclear missile but it's a missile right now that can't even fly. we'll take up the arms race between the united states states and russia next with general jack keane and the perfect stunt duo about to dazzle everyone with their synchronized acrobatics. we'll show you the incredible aerial maneuvers video from argentina here next. stay with u i was wondering if an electric toothbrush really cleans better than a manual. and my hygienist says it does but they're not all the same. who knew? i had no idea. so she said, look for one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to gently remove more plaque. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the only electric toothbrush

brand accepted by the american dental association for its effectiveness and safety. my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b. oral-b. brush like a pro. bundle and save big, but now it's time to find my dream abode. -right away, i could tell his priorities were a little unorthodox. -keep going. stop. a little bit down. stop. back up again. is this adequate sunlight for a komodo dragon? -yeah. -sure, i want that discount on car insurance

just for owning a home, but i'm not compromising. -you're taking a shower? -water pressure's crucial, scott! it's like they say -- location, location, koi pond. -they don't say that.

lou: chinese president xi shinning ping silences critics now that he is a communist dictator. the chinese government has banned words and phrases from the internet now that could be used to express disapproval of xi jinping's now unlimited power including lifelong immortality. despite that the national left wing media remains in this country unwilling to refer to xi as the communist dictator that he has become. joining me now, retired four-star general jack keane, chairman of the institute for the study of war, senior strategic analyst at the fox business network. great to have you with us, general. >> good to see you. welcome back. lou: thank you. i apprecia appreciate it. great to see you. let's start with vladimir putin and iz unstoppable nuclear powered missile that so far, as

we can tell, doesn't yet fly. >> that's true. but in fairness to putin, he has been refreshing his entire nuclear arsenal over the last five to six years, rather healthily. and what we're talking about icbms, long range bombers and submarine delivered missiles. and our systems have been atrophying. the trump budget for fy18 and fy19 begin to do the same thing. in other words upgrade our nuclear capability. the other thing is that putin is developing small yield tactical nuclear equips. we got rid of that as a result of the inf treaty. secretary mcmaster proposed to the president to do much of the same. what we've found out is that as long as we hold the same weapons that our adversaries hold, we're likely never going to use them and that's the policy we're moving towards. we're moving in the right direction here.

lou: that is toward expanding and creating new tactical weapons, nuclear weapons. >> and upgrading all of our strategic weapons. every single one of them. lou: you talked about four to five years on the part of russia. how quickly do you believe the united states can catch up with the russian advance? >> it will take us at least five or six years of full throated budgets on a scale that we have right now. and we just got to make the commitment to that. if we don't do that, we're going to have problems. because we're still the dominant military in the world, lou, we have eroded and our adversaries have caught up to us in a lot of our technology advantage and in certain cases they've gone ahead of us. they actually have a better tank than we have. we've been paying for 16 years of 9/11 wars and we haven't been able to capitalize on investment

accounts to get the kind of technological edge capabilities that we used to. lou: you know the president has made it clear -- he made it clear beginning in his campaign, his impatience with those who carry on unending wars, the cost of those wars and thousands of american lives, and more than $6 trillion i and the conflicts still go on. immigration policies that are not merit-based but create greater burdens rather than deal with the needs of this advanced technological service-driven economy of ours. it is stunning that we have such, such needs now in 2018 that we have to start funding to get our military into a position to basically just to protect the nation, let alone deal with foreign threats. >> and we have to do it in deficit spending as well, which

is, you know, further frustrating to everyone. but that, that is exactly what has taken place here. and it particularly was aggravating under the obama administration when he hatched this budget control act of sequestration and that put us in a downward turn. the good news is we're turning this around and we've got to keep with the commitment to get our capabilities up. and remember, we want the expensive instruments because it's the way we deter war. it's not about fighting one, it's trying to avoid one because you don't want your adversary to think he can take advantage of you. lou: great to see you. general jack keane. >> good talking to you. you look good. lou: be sure to vote in tonight's poll. do you believe the robert mueller special counsel witch hunt is simply the establishment deep state's retaliation against president trump's america first policies? cast your vote on twitter @low

lou: president trump today unveiling his plan on steel and aluminum tariffs. another example of mr. trump's america first policies that are designed to stop the squandering of america wealth, the $6 trillion spent on those unending middle east conflicts. fixing the destructive free trade policy as the u.s. trade policies have exploited, the so-called free trade and the costs associated with open borders and illegal immigration. joining me now to put it all in

perspective, author and presidential historian doug wead. former assistant to george h.w. bush. it's great to see you. this is, to me, a pivotal moment in the trump presidency. america first turning back -- i mean if people would only realize, this country has not run a trade surplus since 1975. and all of those deficits over the course of that time have taken away from our economic growth rate which means that all of those estimate trillions of dollars have been lost to us forever. your thoughts. >> yes. and we know that the federal reserve over the years, the brief audit we had was financing, the recovery in korea and in china. so it wasn't just britain. lou: and europe and asia. exactly. >> staggering. you could go to china during

those booming years the last couple of decades and you would look out your hotel window. everywhere you see cranes building skyscrapers. at one time they said every crane they could get their hand on they had building in china. and then they had that paris accord -- lou: i'm sorry. without any reciprocity, there was no quid pro quo. that was a gift from the american people and the american economy to the chinese who are now dumping steel, aluminum and many other products on our country. it is -- and this is the only president who's had the guts to say it ends now. >> yep. the clintons helped it along. the bushes helped it along. obama did nothing during that period. now we have a president who says wait a second.

we keep kicking the can down the road whether it's korea, illegal immigration or gun control, here's a president knocking heads saying, okay, what's the solution. let's do it. it's got some people in washington panicked. lou: it's interesting. people do not want to accept that the man the american people sent to serve as our president is doing exactly what those voters wanted. he is disrupting the swamp, the nation's capital that is brimming with corruption, the power of special interest rather than the national interest is first in the minds and the wallets of so many of those serving as senators and congressmen. it's appalling. i mean it's hard to imagine where we would be, where we would be headed if president trump had not been the man chosen to be in the oval office. >> you're absolutely right. you know, the last two years we

put together a top ten presidents. we got a youtube, the top ten presidents 2018 update. and we get so many e-mails from people saying where's trump, where's trump. some of them really love him. and the dems are panicked because they're used to presidents who are liars. i did not have sex with that woman monica lewinsky, keep your own doctor, read my lips, no new taxes, the british informed us that saddam hussein tried to buy uranium in africa. they don't want a wall. they want to catch this guy in a broken promise. that's why when he gives them something they won't take it. lou: i get a kick out out of pe saying, i wish the president wouldn't tweet. all that is a confession that they don't want to hear the truth and they don't want to hear it directly from the president, which has never, the case except perhaps in less frequent moments with president

franklin roosevelt as he was on the radio. you talk abopenness and transparency and then you hear people whining about it. extraordinary. >> tweet on old president, tweet on. lou: amen. thank you, doug. good to see you. doug wead. up next, president trump versus mr. magoo. we take up the war of words with the president and his highly ineffective attorney general. our panel is next stay with us. we'll be right back.

actually broke into the dnc servers. we have third party allegations, but not the fbi. this is a mess. the fbi looks like the most of corrupt national this force i have ever seen. >> things are not looking good for anyone. i think it's time for everyone to decide, let's move on from this issue. rip that justice department leadership. mark: then bob mueller has to recuse himself. for such a buttoned down sober looking guy, to not have the security to say i looked and i didn't find anything. lou: how about their integrity? >> as pane attorney, we are there to find the truth. we are not there to find something that isn't. if the truth is there is nothing there, great, let's move on. lou: what's a reasonable time

for a special counsel? mark: a year. lou: leaks from the special counsel's office, at least that's something they are good at, saying the president is under investigation because of the nasty things he said about jeff sessions. >> he shouldn't have called him mr. magoo. mr. magoo was an aggressive guy who took action. elmer fudd maybe. lou: sessions. what in the world are we doing here? >> i'm not sure what is happening anywhere. this is when i get concerned. we have a constitution. let's follow it. let's move on when we haven't found anything. it's a fact-finding mission for truth. it's not a mission to find something that doesn't exist. it's not and creation mission.

mark report dinner last night with sessions was ridiculous theatrics. among all his allies, two people across from the trump teurs. lou: some would say his masters. i love the moronic response from people who don't understand economics. talking about a trade war. our trade partners might retaliate. these disinformed unenlightened folks don't understand, china and germany are launching a trade war against us now. and this president is the only whown has had the guts to stand up. >> some people said the world trade organization will decide on this. in china the particular

companies are being completely closed in. so why can't we do what we want regarding aluminum and steel. lou:prprprprprprprprpreparednes. thank you at home. now here's lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everybody. president trump today reminding citizens why they chose him to become our plt. becauspresident.because of all e candidates, democrats and republicans who ran for the president in 2016, there was only one willing to take on the elites and the establishment. america first un unequivocally e trump doctrine and that doctrine illuminating all of this president's policies. today president trump announced he's taking action against those nations that subsidize their manufacturers and then dump their products into the u.s. ec a
