tv Lou Dobbs Tonight FOX Business January 13, 2020 4:00am-5:00am EST
4:00 am
>> good evening everybody, president trump has left the s.w.a.t. for at least a few hours this evening. leaving behind the party of hate and empty threats to presidential war powers. their exultation of deadly terrorist soleimani siting with iran and a soleimani against the president who ordered the deadliest assassin eliminated and radical dems tried to subvert and overthrow this historic president of ourses for the first three years of his time in office. the president leaving d.c. behind, and tonight in critical swing state of ohio and among his friends an his supporters in
4:01 am
the huntington center in toledo, this is his first rally since he ordered the united states military to dispatch soleimani. the president's rally in toledo comeing just after the house of representatives voted in favor of a war powers resolution. the resolution simply a symbolic act nonbingedding only. but it was aim ad at rebuking the president's order to kill not only iran's deadliest terrorist, but one who was responsible for the death and wounding of hundreds of our troops. the party of hate won the vote. 224 to 194. three republicans sited with radical dems eight democrats join the republicans. and at a news conference today parking lot president condemn those who choose to defend soleimani over his decision to put an end to evil. >> what bother es me when i see a nancy pelosi a trying defend
4:02 am
this monster from iran who has killed so many people when nancy pelosi and democrats want to defend him, i think that's a very bad thing or for this country. i think that's a big losing argument a politically too. the president will address the party of hate's resolution i'm l sure tonight and the contrast of his historic leadership of success and achievement and amongst those achievements, of course, the elimination of soleimani and putting america in best strategic position it has ever been in middle east when it comeses to dealing with radical islam. the president undoubtedly ready to also take up his achievements on trade, the economy, and a so much more. wall street already giving him another victory to talk about tonight all three major stock indexes at record highs today. the dow jones is industrial surge 212 points and s&p 500 gained 22 and nasdaq jumping 74
4:03 am
points. all at records and as you saw the dow jones industrial just below 29,000. the president also realizing his goal of balancing america's trade relationships with much of the world. the commerce department this week reported that for the first time in three years that u.s. trade deficit has plunged to a new low further demonstrating that the president's economic policies and yes his tariffs are working and working precisely as he said they would. he's been right all along. while his critics to tractor and corporate america lobbyist have all been wrong as wrong as they could be. with their a chaims that the president tariffs would cut into economic growth and weaken our soaring markets. the globalist wall street e the leet and executive rad cam dem and rhino, washington lobbyist all alike, now must come to
4:04 am
terms with this booming trump economy, these soaring markets strong economic growth, strong, strong record low unemployment. it's called prosperity and yes, we're going to have to get used to as years go on under president trump. while the president trump winning on all fronts this week with house speaker pelosi flailing she could potentially concede that, that stalemate with senate majority leader mitch mcconnell fox news's told that mcconnell now expects pelosi to turn over the parties sham articles of impeachment both of them pl to the the senate and that may happen we're told as early as tomorrow. the speaker of the house ramming those articles it is through the house and record time more than three week ago because of so-called urgency saying that pelosi did that country couldn't afford to wait for the president to -- actually go to court and have these punishes resolved.
4:05 am
no, during her weekly news conference, pelosi remained absolutely quiet on just when she would take action. [inaudible conversations] article indefinitely? >> no i'll sepgd them over when i'm ready opinion. >> she speaks more like a aristocrat a queen of sort doesn't she? that's oh very -- chilling. not really american do you think anyway we'll see. i guess she gets a snuff box next had. follow her comment in her rather eking regal comments or noncomments, senators are calling for pelosi, her own party senators to hurry up. dianne feinstein richard blooming that will joe mansion among them changing their attitude towards speaker and the delay in turning over those articles of impeachment. the democrats are in some
4:06 am
disarray tonight. many of them dodging question altogether today or schismly saying that when they have spoken on the public record criticizing and effect of the speaker they were misunderstood. well new development withs tonight in the the downing of that ukrainian airliner, just moments after leaving the runway in tehran. the pentagon today stating that the plane was with high confidence they believe the shot down by mistake by an iranian antiaircraft missile all 176 people onboard aircraft were killed just hours after iran fired 16 ballistic missiles at military bases hosting u.s. troops in iraq tuesday. iran is said to abuse russian made sa15 a missile. which is part of the tour service to air missile stham russians have provided iran. one official telling fox news the incident was a, quote, tragic screwup. our first guest tonight standing
4:07 am
along side the president and a tonight's vote on what is widely considered -- to be just simply a rebuke of the president, there's no affect of this toothless symbolic resolution. joining us tonight, the house minority leader of the republican party kevin mccarthy. >> pg congressman good to have you but us. a busy time, and extraordinary vote in the house. your reaction to the vote on the -- on the resolution to con train president authority to take this country to war if need be. >> well this is a nonbinged resolution. it is what it is called con current resolution. that times that we use con current resolutions when we want to invite a soap box derby to be held on capital what democrats are doing is empowering iran and what frustrates me most lou here we have a president in trump
4:08 am
that on instinct is for america first and the democrats instinct is to blame america. iran is one who escalated this. this president has played this correctly. he's made america safer. he's made world safer and he september a very clear message remember what iran did. they killed americans. more than 600 of them. this is no question asked. what had the democrats are doing to me is appalling. that they're going to defend iran. that they're going to sending wrong message to iran how do they look in 600 gold star mothers and tell them what they're doing today? >> do they not understand? i have no illusion of what the democratic party is it has become the party of hate. but surely they have self-knowledge that to walk with into the 2020 elections having defended the largest states a sponsor of global terrorism in -- defend and effect the -- the man who killed and is
4:09 am
responsible for the death of perhaps a third of our casualties in -- in iraq. and hundreds and hundreds more. they're defending him against the united states government. >> that's exactly right. that's exactly what they're doing here, and thousands of innocent as thes killed even in his own country are let known that e he bombed those tankers are bomb the e refinery and remember what they just did within the last six months not only kill an american. but tried to burn our embassy. and here we have a president who i think was very calm in how he dealt with knocking down our drone and others. trying to make sure that it got deescalated but what do they do? they went and killed an american now we have administration that when it has a red line it holds them accountable. correctly what president trump did. but what's more importantly through here he's making this country safer by doing it. it reminds me a lot of ronald
4:10 am
reagan could anybody else had that berlin wall come down? this is a president who understands why iran should never have a nuclear weapon, but here we have a majority party in congress. that all they want to do to investigate him you have adam schiff ahead of the intel committee spent last year investigating the president instead of should have been focus on the issues in middle east in the intel committee but had those hearings. that's what's appalling. : democrat party has been actually -- beraft of any comment whatsoever in their entire time in control the of the house of representatives. and their opposition before that it was -- you know, sometimes just inexplicable and unproductive there was one surprise in this day, three republicans voting with the democrats, the surprise there is one of those was congressman matt gates of voting for the resolution.
4:11 am
what in the world, this is -- a man who has been defending the president who has, i mean, i was just shocked were you? >> i'm very shocked by it. it does not seem like this should be the vote he would take. this was a resolution that was nonbingedding wasn't changing anything. it wasn't going to president's tesk. this was sheerly a political -- press release from democrats to attack our president who has been defending this country so i'm shocked by e this and i have to ask why he would do this. >> he was effect a vote against the president. by -- by a member of your party, it is just stunning that that one person amongst those three would be matt gaetz. >> and one thing you have to note too is there are more democrats vote ising against the republicans and once again here's pelosi thinking shoos going to do something bipartisan and really we e see really and when we deal with situations like this remember how did republicans act when we killed bin laden we came together as americans. and remember what general
4:12 am
petraeus said this is bigger than killing bin laden and why couldn't democrats in congress understand that? and give this president the respect and support he needs in a time of crisis like this? you should put party aside and be an american at this moment. >> and certainly porting this president every republican in my judgment frankly every democrat should be supporting this president. who is -- who is acting as an a exemplar of any president we would have lead the free world and he's doing so -- in ways that many of his detractors thought never possible achieving more than most of his supporters thought, thought possible. it has been extraordinary three years and promises to be an extraordinary another five. don't you think? >> if this president gets another five years, the next century will be the american century. that's why so important, and if
4:13 am
the democrats were able toll win the white house, or democrats were able to keep the majority in the house, it just be investigations. they won't even release and what was really telling to me yesterday was dianne feinstein who was my state senator but actually hometown senator of nancy pelosi you listen to what she said. that if this was so urgent why wouldn't you send impeachment over if you're not sending other i guess it wasn't very urgent. >> it appears that the democratic party and house is starting to awaken to what american people did long ago that they are carrying out nothing more than as farce. and that will be how they'll be judged come election day as well, i believe. congressman, we thank you very much as always. kevin mccarthy, appreciate it. >> thank you. thank you, sir. national security expert katy mcfarr land and ferris join me right after the break request that and much more. please stay with us.

4:18 am
right away with this morning's speech addressed by the the president. this which he simultaneously put forward the line that there will be no nuclear weapon in the handle of the iranian while he's president and also offering them, i thought rather e generous -- offramp from the confrontation with the united states and pin deed western civilization. >> i think the other thing he said it was that we're going to by the way impose more sanctions on you regardless so that's the maximum pressure campaign so keep turning up the dial of the pressure as long as they haven't gotten all the way to where you want them to get and i think donald trump has handled this and fixed american economy and understand that economic warfare and technological warfare is to our advantage and a he's employed that. he then took game changer strike against soleimani and it was a calculated risk but one that
4:19 am
paid off iranian reaction was about the the mildest they could have done and a still salvage their national dignity and then as you just pointed out trump also is in hand of friendship. >> absolutely, and while again thank you for being with us last night in the -- at the heat of the moment and thank you for your perspective and insight. this is now an iranian state that has an opportunity to join the community of nations and the president is made it cheer he will be their foremost facilitator in achieving that goal. but he will also be absolutely their greatest opponent should they seek nuclear weapons and not understand their day of using proxy or even direct sponsorship of terrorism are at an end. >> you know and this press conference today, the president physician in the united states in a much more strategic
4:20 am
position it was before at least over the past maybe eight to nine years number and he called on nato to be part of these efforts. we have this whole gigantic machine and iran is threatening the international waterway that is back this terrorism it is oppressing its own people and people of other countries. so really that call for nato to put pressure on the key playerses is very important and two, he was bold enough to ask russia and china both of them are, of course, competitors with us to let go of this regime. it russia and china actually want to function better, and international community they need to be working with us and making sure that the iranian ym is not developing nuclear power or spreading those militia everywhere in the region. >> you said president was deaf in handling of this. that deafness is -- i think visible certainly as well.
4:21 am
outside confrontation with iran in that he is reaching out to the nato to russia, to china, it is going to be interesting to see how they respond. because he has an opportunity here that he's created and point of fact to advance u.s. reelses with both china and russia. simultaneously with changing behavior in the direction of iran in the middle east. >> well and not only that but i think that trump -- when he came into office and even before what he said to us in the situation room in the -- this many the oval office on campaign trail, he said he wanted a different relationship with everybody. he wanted to reverse the involved in preowtion with the middle east and too much american blood and treasure wases spilled and lost he wanted to focus on china. he's been adamant about it. adamant about it and wanted to change focus of the united states to china. i think the initial plan that he had was if there could be some kind of a relationship we work
4:22 am
on with russia, understanding all of the problems that we would have -- with russia, it would forestall what i think was always our greatest fear that russians and chinese would get together. and those two would be formidable. >> which they are working toward right now. without question, and carrying the military exercises -- simultaneously and a -- and sharing -- well, working to the to confront the united states. well, give us your sense as to what will be the reaction of the iranians? two rockets fired into the green zone today? but did not strike targets again? where are we headed in the days and weeks ahead? about -- >> you know iranian regime behavior since e elimination of soleimani is very coming number one. they are shooting against our bases but they have a big
4:23 am
division inside their ranks. they don't know really what to do. if engage us they saw there's a firm president admission that will respond if they don't then those resolution continue against them and i wouldn't want to be a decision maker in tehran today. >> all right. katy. i think one more point about that that two weeks from now with soleimani haze is gone iran and iranian preem going to be just as squeezed economically as they were before. i think they take to the streets again, and that's what the heeders have to really worry about not just the united states coming after but their own people. >> katy who wassing working on the maximum pressure campaign for the trump administration -- precisely speaks on that and everybody else do you have a quick last word if you wish it? >> look, for history our very happy with the president making a point about the iran deal. he made it very clear and it was
4:24 am
very clear on the ground that the iran provided 150 billion to iran regime bought weapon and use them against us. that is the most important part in my view in this press conference. >> putting everything in context and proper place, and causal that causal chain that led to this moment in history. he was professor trump today as well. >> thanks so much officer professor, and katy. katy mcfarr land thank you both. the rise of sex traffic in our southern border. award-winning journalist lora logan joins us right after this quick break. stay with us. ♪ limu emu & doug

4:30 am
>> well there's one thing i was most surprised about, you know, spengdzinging time down on border and talking to people both sides mexico and in the u.s. and when i would ask like who's in control of the southern border, no one said the u.s. [laughter] right? and wouldn't you expect that? so if the answer is well cartels control it both in mexican side and american side, how is that possible in so that's how, you know, as the reporter you again this journey up to occur yousty and drug cartel have transformed in mexico. over the last few deck decades now among most powerful organization in the the world but perhaps so striking is that they're global so someone buying cocaine on streets of moscow or in south america or in europe or africa they're buying it from mexican cartel and they've also diversified and so you -- to me it's impossible to understand what is really happening on border if you don't go to the heart of where the power highs and why people across and where they're
4:31 am
crossing and when they cross and who makes those decisions. >> there's such a naivete that is aful naivete i think certainly in part of public officials in this country they want to condescend to mexico and corruption is all of the cartel all in southern side of the border but the reality is -- as you found that that corruption is on both sides of the border. and the control certainly rest with the cartels not the u.s. government and certainly not the mexican government. in one of the most striking number it is that i have seen, is that 80% of mexico is either influenced or actually under control of the drug cartels. i mean that should be chilling to every american. >> well they're not drug cartels anymore. right? because they're global organized crime candidates who carry out most extreme form of violence that you will see anywhere in the world. i mean it is not enough, you know, just to head people they
4:32 am
have heading videos where they've taken sledgehammers and obliterate skullses and human rights watch has actually come up with a new term to try to explain the extreme rate of at which women are being murderedded and disappeared in mexico today, i mean, there's no one has suffered more -- >> to have them by the way literally for decades. we are just now awakening to what has been going on -- the murder rate in mexico is -- greater. is greater than any combat zone including iraq, afghanistan, anywhere in the world. >> but there are people and i spoke to one of them a pommer captain with texas public safety which is a crazy term for law enforcement body that only exist in texas and and he ran cross board operation and very smart and what he said what he's done is track what he calls trip trigger jason jones and a he can literally ma'am out the
4:33 am
transforms of the cartel for you and a they have military camps they use military tactic and a weapons. they amount operations of 20 caliber machine guns. prnlg l no one more excited than jason jones most knowledgeable person in terms of the narco crime if you wish i call them drug cartels that are now international. he has and i have not talked to him since the president deferred ding ig nateing those cartels as terrorist organizations. like him, i hope that president changes his mind because about -- >> i talked to him after that. >> i'm l sorry you talked to who? >> i talked to jason jones after that enhe was gutted. he gave up his career, with and literally goes length and birth of this country to talk to policeman so they know what they're really dealing with. >> of when you're watching -- lora logan on fox nation she has no agenda. just the facts, ma'am. let me ask you this because you spent far too much time in middle east to ignore your expertise in that experience.
4:34 am
your thoughts about iran. and listening to the the senators like mike lee. i mean, it is patheticking to me to hear u.s. senator suggest that the united states government did wrong when killing a terrorist. a constitutional authority of the president is clear that national interest is clear. my god what a redealing. it is really interesting because where was senator lee when obama assassinated remember the lead or of al qaeda who was really one of the main recruiters al qaeda and at that time that's always my question as a journalist right is i look for consistency and inconsistency i look at motivation. >> swamp is a terrible place to look for consistency. >> well, and you know in the troubling part is where's the
4:35 am
accountability, that's what is really troubling for me. because where is accountability for all of these statements? why -- what's the if you're going to challenge the president's legal authority to act, then tell us the law that's been broken. tell me specifically what that law is so i can look it up and i can see whether that valid argument or not. >> i think mike lee stands as to you will as a -- as an avatar for all in washington and the senate and house by the way. who are -- questioning this president and a his judgment foreign policy when he's done more many three years and achieve more success than any president first three years of this presidency. it is remarkable to me that there would even be an issue over soleimani who is what he is. he was a vicious, vile -- >> do you remember when iranians posing as american soldiers went into a base in 2007. do you remember when they killed one american there was a grenade
4:36 am
and took four americans with them? two of their bodies were pouked handcuffed together in back of the car and executed four and they fled that was a sophisticated operation by the way that what the u.s. government says was carried out with training from lebanese hezbollah because they did a operation against that border and where were those toys voice when is custom soleimani was orchestrating attacks and killing americans? where were with they then? >> great question. and a lot of answers on fox nation. laura logan -- catch all of her reporting on fox nation we look forward to it. thanks lauren great to see you. >> thanks for having me. before we go to break recommend katy new book it is available for preorder revolution, trump, washington, and we the people. it is available for preorder right now on amazon. barnes & noble and everywhere else. we recommend it to you highly. stay with us. we'll be right back.

4:41 am
only in the senate do they talk like that. joining us tonight, one of the republican leaders attempting to have adam schiff for his role in -- in this impeachment farce. congressman jim jordan ranking member of the house oversight committee, member of the house judiciary committee congressman great to see you. >> great to be with you. >> happy new year, lou. >> i want to start with bolton he's decided he will unlike in the house, being willing to testify where he to be subpoenaed. your reaction. >> no. i think look that's up to the the senate. i don't think if it does happen, i don't think it should. but if it does, it shouldn't happen until after the opening arguments were made in senate trial as senator mcconnell has said. look here's what we know four facts have never changed they've been the same and stay the same. they have never changed one bit democrats don't care about facts and keep pushing but we have the call transcript there was nothing wrong with the call transcript both guys have enjoyable call there was laughter.
4:42 am
there was all kind of things on this call but no quid pro quo, we have the two guys saying all of that. so -- excuse me, the ukrainian knew -- didn't know aid was held at the tile of the call and most importantly they took no action to get the aid release or to get a meeting with president of the united states. so that's those are the facts they're never going to change so whole thing has been ridiculous exercise. the democrats have put the the country through. >> there's absurdity in all of this that to me is foundational. and that is, president trump is the one who released that money to the ukrainian for defense against russians and encourage it. obama for years refused to do so, and yet the same radical dems who pine for more obama passivity criticize president who took action, about remarkable. >> look, the president gave him
4:43 am
gavel and a missiles obama gave them blanket that wasn't jordan but made by witness withs they brought in like ambassador yovanovitch as you said tougher on roar than democrats and out of iranian deal and moved to jeers loom and who isages home from north korea and eliminated al-baghdadi and a this week soleimani and for them to be criticizing president based on that and kellyanne conway same criticizing president now are one who is gave iran 130 billion dollars are you kidding me. so they can criticize all they want the the american people -- be through it they appreciate the work that president has done for them here domestically and work in a foreign policy area as well. >> tonight is strange. on its space the absurdity of this impeachment inquiry farce, theater whatever you want to call it, it persist -- and the president might be seek
4:44 am
your help here if this goes forward in the senate. kevin mccarthy minority leader actually saying that we would like to see fellow by name jordan and radcliffe help the white house and if they are to be impeachment proceedings your thoughts? well i think kechi leadership throughout this ordeal he's done oustanding job of keep our conference focus on job and helping president i think that help us in the whole argument and debate when pelosi announce this thing on september 24th, that he she's going to move down this road she never expected one democrat to vote with us another in the to vote president and a third democrat to vote with us and then switch parties. so i appreciate kevin leadership if, in fact, we're involved in this senate proceeding that's up to mitch mcconnell in senate but if we are i'll do everything i can to help this president because this case is ridiculous and lou the last thing is -- think about this. the fact that the whistle-blower never had to testify and the
4:45 am
only member of the united states congress knows who is that individual is -- is adam schiff that's ridiculous too and highlights and underscores how ridiculous whole process is and why it should move quickly? senate as mitch mcconnell once did too. smtion it is -- it is tragic. it is outrageous, and it is infuriate. congressman, thanks very much. just very quickly speaker pelosi calling for house vote on a war of powers, war powers limit resolution i think more. but your thoughts about even attempting such a -- boat. >> look i haven't seen it but i'm sure it is ridiculous one more ridiculous move by the democrats one resolution to vote and hope passes is one senator holly is offering in the senate to get this -- this impeachment thing over as quickly as possible over there. i hope that's one they actually vote on in the senate and we can forget this one that pelosi is talking about about here in the house. >> jim jordan as always great to see you as always. >> up next makers of more than
