tv Lou Dobbs Tonight FOX Business October 23, 2018 7:00pm-8:00pm EDT
7:00 pm
they think is a dictator which is not. he the open president and the freedom of the press that is what they forget, hitting donald trump is not a winning strategy. >> thank you so much. thank you for having us in your home and thank you for watching. lou dobbs is next on the fox business network. stay right there. lou: good evening everybody, our top stories that, the caravan of mostly central american migrants determined to make their way to the u.s. border, continues to grow tonight. the latest estimates put the number of migrants in the caravan between seven and 14,000 people. although, as you can see in these pictures, sometimes it looks like many more than that. president trump blaming radical democrats for encouraging the caravan and perhaps, many more like it. through their refusal to reform the u.s. immigration system,
7:01 pm
the creation of massive loopholes in the immigration laws. president trump has declared he will send as many troops as necessary to secure our border. >> something has to be done. you cannot have this happen. something has to be done. with that i think we will see. we are counting our military. we will have to call it the military if we need to. but we can't let this happen. we cannot allow our country to be violated like this.lou: tonight we take up at the president can do to stop the caravan and secure our border. in the face of this politically and inspired onslaught. among our guests tonight councilman jim jordan of ohio, matt yates of florida also the trump administration taking steps to punish saudi arabia for the death of the "washington post" columnist, jamal khashoggi. president trump clearly skeptical about the saudi
7:02 pm
government explanation. of the murder of "washington post" columnist, jamal khashoggi. we will have the latest for you on the trump administration investigation of the murder, the cover-up and its likely consequences. and a volatile day for the markets as the dow jones industrial average battled back nearly 550 points deficit to erase most of those losses by the end of trading. we will have more in wall street. our top source night, the caravan of mostly central american immigrants, is now in the mexican city of -- tonight where it has rested throughout the day.the caravan has traveled 45 miles into mexico since sunday. but it was located on the border bridge between mexico and guatemala. the caravan however, remains more than 1100 miles from mcallen texas. that is a tract that would take 76 days at the pace that this caravan has made since leaving
7:03 pm
the border with guatemala. if the caravan were to travel the 2400 miles to the north western city of tijuana, just below san diego, they would not arrive until late february. well after the november midterm elections. and another issue they might encounter is hurricane willa, the category three storm is expected to make landfall tonight 1000 miles off of the mexican west coast from the caravan. but the devastation it might leave behind could pose an issue for the thousands in that caravan. any of them are wearing flip-flops and already fighting blisters and pain that comes from walking great distances. just as they are how can anyone be expected to travel that journey safely? the wall street journal today reported the honduran government is claiming that social activists and leftist politician went as and other
7:04 pm
leftists are behind the caravan pier for the latest on how they responded to this national emergency, return to fox news chief white house correspondent, john roberts. >> good evening. the brett kavanaugh confirmation battle earlier this month really energized republican voters and narrowed the margins in some races. now president trump is trying to bring home a house victory or at the very least, limit the losses by leading very heavily into this caravan as a threat to national security. in the oval office this afternoon, president trump tumbled down on his assertion that there are middle easterners, even possible terrorists among the thousands of people in the caravan heading for the united states. >> i have very good information. i have very good information. chris president trump suggested that the democrats are behind the caravan.but a former leftist politician in honduras, it is claimed that he was
7:05 pm
behind this exodus.today the vice president backed up the claim by fuentes. and pointed fingers also in venezuela with the president of honduras when the caravan was initiated , told me was organized by leftist groups. in honduras that were being financed in part by venezuela. >> at the pieces moving the caravan is more than 40 days away from the united states. but americans are just 14 days away from going to the polls. president trump is made the caravan and illegal immigration centerpiece of his campaign rallies. like this huge event in houston last night. >> that is an assault on our country. that is an assault.>> the secretary of state today said the caravans journey will be futile. >> he will not be successful at getting into the united states illegally. no matter what. i repeat, caravan will not cross over southern border illegally under any circumstances. >> the president is placing blame for the caravan and illegal immigration in general at the foot of the democratic party. democrats want no part of the
7:06 pm
immigration battle.hoping to change the subject in the next two weeks to issues that they think they can win on like, healthcare. department of homeland security released new numbers for the month of september on illegal immigration in september alone, more than 41,000 people were apprehended illegally entering the country. the total number for the year, fiscal year 18, was almost 400,000. that is a 30 percent increase over the previous year. lou: john roberts, think you very much. our first guest tonight to take up the threat to the sovereignty, and the president's efforts to seal the southern border and if necessary, join us tonight congressman jim jordan, he serves on the judiciary and oversight committees. also cofounder of the influential house freedom caucus. thank you so much for being with us congressman. >> thank you. lou: this is a remarkable statement by the president and the secretary of state.
7:07 pm
they are staying straightforwardly this does not happen. in this administration. your thoughts? >> no, the president, president trump and pompeo are exactly right. as a sovereign nation one of the things that defines you is you have borders. as a country are allowed to enforce your border security. your border laws. you need to be able to control who comes and who goes. that is the basic elements of being a nationstate. so i agree with the president and secretary pompeo and everything they said. they're not going to let the caravan and because as the president indicates, we do not know who is all in the group of people. as you said it could be as many as 14,000, 7000, we don't know the number we do not know who is involved in the group. again, is a sovereign country you have a right to control that and we should not let them and until we know who they are. lou: don't you find it remarkable this day and age that we are actually debating whether or not we have a group of people particularly on the left suggesting we don't even have a sovereign right to determine who comes into this country? the president himself has been
7:08 pm
campaigning on a merit based immigration system and yet, the democrats refused to follow some in your party as well refuse to follow the president's lead. >> the democrats are talking about abolishing i.c.e. you never want to secure the border. their nominee for president just two years ago said, she wanted a borderless hemisphere. so they don't get the comments is it that most americans understand, we have a right to control what goes on that border. we need, this underscores a simple fact we needed border security while just like president trump is talked about prayer just like he campaigned on, just like we campaigned on. most important, just like the american people elected us to do. but that will not happen if democrats take control of congress be we will never get it secure and will never get the border securitywall. >> it is to me, stunning to think that some of the likely
7:09 pm
house chairs , this would, adam schiff could become chairman of the house intelligence committee. elijah cummings take oversight, and adler were taken judiciary. that would be a lot of fun for you, wouldn't it? >> i think will be scary for the american people because the fbi investigationwe been looking into the wrongdoings at the highest level , that would stop in they would spend all the time going after the president, if they take control, they are going to try and raise taxes. they are going to try to polish i.c.e. and never secure the board and they will try to impeach a president. they will not contain investigations with a critical like why the fbi took one parties research document, this dossier that was incredible, not validated, everything else, dressed it up, took it to a secret court to get a warrant on the other parties campaign. they will never try to get to the bottom of the issue but they will do all of these other
7:10 pm
things.lou: and tomorrow, as you well know, house oversight and judiciary chairman and ranking members of the two committees will be talking with rod rosenstein. whose idea was it to distill your majority into an even match? whose idea was it for this format and go along with it? >> that was actually change. it's been postponed. he is not coming. i think that is a good thing because it did not agree with the format frankly. the format rod rosenstein wanted. that has been postponed. rod rosenstein should not get a different deal than anyone else got. this is one of the things that drives americans crazy. this idea that there is two standard. lou: set of rules for us regular folks. but a different set if you're part of the politically connected classic rod rosenstein. james comey not -- he did not
7:11 pm
get that. they have to come like a bonus and answer questions and it should not be in a closed door, classified setting.a closed door, classified setting is the american people will never know what his answers are. i'm glad this is postponed. we have to get him in as soon as possible but it needs to be in the right conditions where the american people can find out what he had to say. lou: first, thank you for bringing us the news of the development. secondly, whose idea was it to embarrass the congress like this?>> i assume it is rod rosenstein. remember, this is the guy, think about this -- this is the guy who that joe said he wanted to wear a wire to record the president. who allegedly talked of invoking the 25th amendment. he did that in front of subordinates. whether was joking or not we will find out. he did not do that classified setting so what is he want to classified setting to answer questions about those very things? only reason is because he doesn't want the american people to know what happened. this is the same guy who will not give us the anti-mccabe memos that we have subpoenaed. he will not rest the august 2 memo he wrote that altered the scope of the mueller
7:12 pm
investigation will not give us the jim baker or bruce ohr 302 is. this is the same guy. on the occasions that the term student quizzes postponed. let's get him under the right conditions as soon as possible. lou: congressman jim jordan, as always, good to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you. lou: up next it appears anti-trump cnn believes a caravan of illegal immigrants should be welcomed with open arms. at the border. president trump clearly defining what he thinks about the caravan. what is the left-wing media saying? we take that up right after the break. michael goodwin joins us here. stay with us. today...

7:17 pm
the new hampshire ruling, an invitation for fraud and opens the door for illegal immigrants to register to vote. that apparently does not the folks in new hampshire pedro not to take up the president's unprecedented support for iccandidates is he tireless campaigns on these midterms, new york post columnist, fox business contributor, pulitzer prize winning journalist, michael goodwin. great to have you here. let's start with new hampshire. i can't resist. a judge making that ruling. i would think that there might be a recall movement under way in a matter of moments. but it is new hampshire. >> well, and you see this everywhere. that the most modest identification issues are always thrown out on the ground it will hamper somebody somewhere.as though, even the never seems to be any evidence of anybody losing the right to vote. it's just a theoretical argument that the judge's seem to assume the worst of.
7:18 pm
>> and what i love is that in many of the cases as you say correctly of course, the argument is very simple, straightforward, voter suppression. meanwhile, 22 to 30 million illegal immigrants according to the yale mit study in this country. that adds up to what? 40? 50? congressional districts i mean, that is a huge if you will, suppression of citizens right to vote. look, you cannot fly in an airplane, you cannot go to most manhattan city office buildings without it. i mean just, you cannot drive a car without it. all of these things and yet, when it comes to vote, which is certainly easily to many play, the charges always seem to have a very different idea. it is a right unlike any other. >> it is a right that has been discovered by judges. simply don't care about citizenship. they don't care about
7:19 pm
preserving borders, they do not worry about preserving sovereignty. we looking at an amazing -- to me, an amazing contest. perhaps the most important i think, unquestionably. the most important election my career.you can argue 2010 but this one is existential, i believe. >> look, we have the last two years history that we have coming into this midterm, not just trying to obstruct the president but trying to bring down the president. the failure of democrats to really participate and do their jobs in a fairway in congress and now, for the caravan, if the character assassination of brett kavanaugh, i think there's a lot at stake beyond the actual election itself. there's a whole question of american democracy at stake. >> the president as he often does, a master of concision.
7:20 pm
he said this campaign is about kavanaugh, the caravan and common sense. and i don't think one can argue with any of the three. >> look, i think these rallies help just by the nature of them. but secondly, when he focuses like that on those issues, and talks about the way he talks about them, he really spotlights them and those are issues that i think so far clearly breaking the republicans favor peer by him spotlighting them is really putting the pressure on the democrats to come up with some answers. then come up with it! for crying out loud. i mean there bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, they've got hillary clinton as you noted most recent in the column. that brings joy to the heart of -- well, at least the republican party. you can't be serious! >> i am. i think when you look at the democratic presidential field,
7:21 pm
we are talking cory booker, joe biden, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, andrew cuomo. you look at that and say, it is a very weak field. and can you imagine any of them getting in the ring with president trump for the debate? i think hillary clinton in that field, would have a very good chance and god knows, she wants it more than anybody else. >> and bloomberg of course, i mean -- >> eric holder. >> why not? >> john kerry! why not? course it would be an interesting contest and the present just has to be praying at this point. michael, it is great to see you. michael goodwin. if there is any doubt of anti-trump politics surrounding the migrant caravan making his way through mexico right now, take a look at this. a pair of honduran protesters
7:22 pm
outside the u.s. embassy, burning an american flag with a white swastika painted on it. in support of the caravan. a poster image for building the wall along our southern border. if we ever saw one. we have seen endless that do the same. be sure to vote on our poll. the question is do you think the radical left is working with central and south american socialists and leftists to organize and support the migrant caravan? cast your vote on twitter and follow me on twitter @lou dobbs. facebook and follow me on instagram. vandalized, the latest episode of violence toward republicans by radical leftist mobs. we take that up, washington examiner's byron york joins me right after these quick messages. we will be right back. packaging for restaurants. and we've grown substantially. so i switched to the spark cash card from capital one.
7:23 pm
i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. and last year, i earned $36,000 in cash back. that's right, $36,000. which i used to offer health insurance to my employees. my unlimited 2% cash back is more than just a perk, it's our healthcare. can i say it? what's in your wallet? when it comes to managing your type 2 diabetes, what matters to you? step up to the stage here.
7:24 pm
feeling good about that? let's see- most of you say lower a1c. but only a few of you are thinking about your heart. fact is, even though it helps to manage a1c, type 2 diabetes still increases your risk of a fatal heart attack or stroke. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event... ...and lowers a1c, with diet and exercise. let's give it another try. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems,
7:25 pm
genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so-what do you think? well i'm definitely thinking differently than i was yesterday. ask your doctor about jardiance- and get to the heart of what matters. (guard) whacontrolled fury.... freakish intelligence. wicked seduction. these endeavors will rattle your soul... and challenge the contents of your stomach. if that sounds dramatic... it is.
7:26 pm
- [narrator] at athene, we think it's time for the financial world to stop acting the same old way. in today's complex world, you need a partner that is driven to provide you with better solutions for these challenging times, one that is willing to disrupt the industry, and break free from conventional thinking. (thudding) we are a different kind of financial company. we are athene, and we are driven to do more. lou: law enforcement officials
7:27 pm
in new york that same explosive was found outside radical democratic billionaire george soros 's home. they say reasonable is a pipe bomb. they do not state is a pipe bomb or is an explosive. it was found inside a package discovered in his mailbox. meanwhile, in another effort to intimidate republicans, police say two vandals shattered a window installed electronic arts at a house majority leader, kevin mccarthys office in bakersfield california. they apparently through a good-sized rock, a small boulder that you see there, through the window.this is just the latest incident of violence against the republicans. breitbart has compiled a list of at least 613 assaults against trump supporters and members of the republican party. joining us now to discuss the caravan crisis, as well as the upcoming rosenstein hearing on capitol hill tomorrow, byron
7:28 pm
york, chief political corresponded for the washington examiner, fox business contributor, great to see you. just start with first, the violence against republicans by the left in the country. we've got a number of news organizations who want to paint this as some sort of duality. in which, it is a bipartisan issue. it is not. it is clearly not and it is clearly the violent rhetoric of the left. >> the most serious being the shooting attack that nearly killed representative steve scalise could have killed others, specifically, directed at republican politicians. a high-powered rifle attack, this was really serious and we can only hope nothing worse than that happens. lou: we do not have to hope. we can vote.and we can actually assure that none of them get into office. that is probably a reach too
7:29 pm
far. none of them, we after all, reserve the two-party system. where do you see this election going? i think the president has put it straightforwardly correctly. in terms of motivation here. it is kavanaugh, caravan without any question in my judgment common sense. by the way, this, the president is being modest. his judgment and his intellect that he is bringing is not common at all. >> i was talking to some republican strategists in recent weeks and they were pretty encouraged by the after effects of the whole brett kavanaugh fight. not just in the senate, but also in the house. basically, really discrediting a lot of republicans. but those consultants and strategists who are working to try and keep the house republicans did say, we really could use one more thing. and everyone is wondering whether the caravan is that one more thing. it is just, so obviously
7:30 pm
newsworthy. you have a mile long caravan of people, hoping to enter the united states illegally. give chuck schumer and nancy pelosi telling their candidates essentially to ignore it. because it is a distraction from the healthcare issue. and i think any voter with eyes can see it is just not going to fly. we still have got two weeks from today and we do not know how this will play out.lou: well, it seems to me that it is playing out remarkably well for the republicans. this president has tough decisions ahead of him, certainly, but he also has two opportunities here.one is to actually form the partnership that we thought might be or might have developed between obrador -- that didn't happen. he led the president's people
7:31 pm
on, the president mexico, it looked like a partnership might be forming on the caravan. that did not happen. now, this is a country that has to defend its borders, this president saying, he will send as many troops as necessary to the border, the caravan he has declared, will not enter the united states. >> well, first of all, there are limits on what troops can do in a situation like this. also, it could be -- lou: you are not quite what people think, byron, to the point. it is our understanding and it is a clear one that those troops can even move into the mexico area at the president orders at the border for the purpose of defending. this is you know, all of the fancy legal minds that operate in washington frankly, need support because it is growing
7:32 pm
into a mushroom of conventional thought. i think it needs to be corrected. >> also you can have extra ordinary situation.we have heard that this group is actually planning to take kind of the long route to the united states. to end up in tijuana and possibly entering california. which you know, california is a state that wants to think it is its own country. they want to have their own foreign policy. lou: the residence of california -- to negotiate that. >> i think this could set up an extra nearly interesting situation if in fact it comes to pass that these migrants are trying to enter the united states in california. the government of california does not want to do anything to stop them and the president of the states want to enforce federal law. it could be a really interesting situation.
7:33 pm
lou: it is a difficult and needlessly difficult situation for this president.he is the commander-in-chief.the president and jerry brown frankly, is not in his league. it is not a contest that he would want, i would think. he's been over time, no matter what you think of the left wing, governor moonbeam, he is made some pretty good political judgments. i don't think that would include taking on the president of the united states. particularly this one. byron york, always good to talk with you. >> thank you, lou. lou: the supreme court challenging the trump and ms. jason's decision to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census.can you imagine this? the lawsuit brought by -- organizations and 17 democratic leaning states. just plain blue states. concerned they say, the adding a citizenship question get ready, would discourage immigrants filling out the census because of the trump
7:34 pm
administrations tough stance on immigration. the supreme court says, not even a reasonable effort at a good try. turning them down flat. up next, the national left-wing media says president trump is making too big a deal of the massive migrant caravan making its way toward our border. >> this is a president who is having flashbacks to 2016. and the fear mongering that worked for him. immigration is what he uses to stoke this kind of fear. >> this is fear loathing on the campaign trail 2018. >> he is making more and more outlandish, really unhinged -- i understand fear mongering, i get it. it will help him drive out the base like it's really riled up by the fear mongering and racism. >> this is a fear election. lou: it is an orchestrated campaign by a subsidiary of comcast. the corporate orders are obviously, fear and fear mongering. and the little darlings you just watched, they are

ron! soh really? going on at schwab. thank you clients? well jd power did just rank them highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms...again. and online equity trades are only $4.95... i mean you can't have low cost and be full service. it's impossible. it's like having your cake and eating it too. ask your broker if they offer award-winning full service and low costs. how am i going to explain this? if you don't like their answer, ask again at schwab. schwab, a modern approach to wealth management. lou: on wall street today, stocks sore -- fall. the down up and down as much as 550 points.
7:39 pm
s&p.15, nasdaq down 31. on the board heavy trading 4.3 billion shares. a reminder to listen to my reports three times a day coast-to-coast on the salem radio network. new reports today show previously deported illegal immigrants and criminals are among the migrant caravan heading toward our southern border. the caravan is in the southern mexican province on 1100 miles from mcallen texas. but 2400 miles from tijuana, northwestern city that they may want, we are told, may want to travel to. and i may be spending more time with president obama these days than i usually prefer to. but for perspective, it's important to see what this man has said over a decade ago on border security and illegal immigration. >> we simply cannot allow people to pour into the united states undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of
7:40 pm
people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country. lou: the front metal transformation turns out to have been in barack obama. joining us not to talk about that caravan and the latest announcement that rod rosenstein 's classified interview with the house judiciary and oversight committees has been postponed, congressman matt gates, member of the house judiciary committee. congressman, great to have you with us. here we go again! what is up with this postponement? not coming this time from rod rosenstein but from the four elders of the congress, the house who were playing this game. what do you make of it? >> we make being a member of congress so much harder than it has to be. all we need to do is tell the truth, hold open hearings, show the american people what is really happening. i am so frustrated that we are now weeks after rod rosenstein, we learned that rod rosenstein made statements about wearing a
7:41 pm
wire on the president and we have not had him in an open hearing under oath to answer questions. i'm hopeful the fact that we've ended this little like behind closed doors pattycake game between the committee chairman and rod rosenstein, in fact we dispense with that. it means we will have more transparency in the process and more openness. but you know what? frankly, sometimes our own leadership and the other side, they want to keep jim jordan and mark meadows and matt gates out of the room. because where the was ask the tough questions and they don't want us to participate because it will provide the answers and we want to see where it leads. lou: along with devin nunes, you all have been spearheading the calls for the truth. imagine that! from the justice department from the fbi. by the way also from the fisa courts which appear to be complicit in the political corruption of the fbi and department of justice. i want to turn very quickly to what you think will happen next. are we going to ever see -- let me put it another way.are we going to see any results from
7:42 pm
the rosenstein interview? before the midterm elections or have they successfully run out the clock on that as well? >> my fear is that there is a bipartisan desire to make no waves before the election. the democrats think they got the wind at their back. republicans think we ought to be quiet about everything other than tax cuts. as a matter what party wins or loses the election when it comes to our jobs as members of congress to do our oversight. whether rod rosenstein is fired or not fired, whether republicans win or lose, we should never have a government trying to unseat a duly elected president. that is what i will be fighting for. >> and in that, the caravan seems timely. whether it is 7000, 14,000 people we know it is making its way north. everyone making it clear, they're going to enter the united states. the president says the caravan will not. your thoughts? >> i'm part of our president
7:43 pm
for protecting the border. but you made a point earlier in the show that is worth highlighting. this is not just a group of desperate migrants. we are people who are criminals, thugs and i have received information from intelligence officials in central america and even members of the intelligence community in the united states. they have some folks have come from as far as africa to join the caravan because they believe it is the way to gain illegal entry into the united states. special-interest aliens, jihadists, people from a different hemisphere using this weakness on our border to bring problems to the united states. that's why this is so serious. it is beyond the humanitarian crisis, is a national security issue in our president who is tasked with protecting us needs to make sure this caravan is stopped.and i think he will. lou: the idea that this is a humanitarian crisis. fits into the left-wing narrative but the reality is that this is an orchestrated effort. it is a political effort, it is occurring two weeks before the election is no accident.
7:44 pm
nor is it an accident that we now understand a second caravan has been assembled in honduras of about 1000 people at this point and preparing to cross into guatemala. it is, at what point, do we simply say, please take our country? it is open to the world. and what do we say to all of the people who are in line as president obama, former president obama said, who are in line and he was much concerned some decade ago, about being fair to them.no more, obviously. >> let me make this point. this is not one caravan or two caravans. this is a new strategy to get people who are not supposed to be in the united states into the country. so we do not take strong bold action, the caravan will never end. it will be ongoing and our country will be borderless and americans will be left vulnerable. that is why this is so
7:45 pm
