looking into bulk supply dropoffs of items like bricks. back to you. melissa: all right, hillary, thank you. that does it for us. thank you for watching "after the bell." "lou dobbs tonight" starts right now. ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. we've been watching for days and nights the sorry, sad sight of violent protesters and vandals and arsonists torching, looting and destroying businesses, badly injuring citizens and bystanders as too often has been the case, city officials -- most often democratic officials -- told police departments to stand down, to stand back and to let the anarchists, thieves and looters own their streets. we've been told for days now that these left-wing-led protests and riots are righteous. righteous and just, claim the radical dems and the left-wing
5:01 pm
media, because they are in response to the injustice of the police killing of george floyd in minneapolis. an obscene equivalency has been created in the media and in the left and in the minds of anarchists and radical dem protesters and activists, unleashing wholesale violence upon these cities, looting and burning across much of the country. targeting law enforcement officers, wounding them in clashes, attacks and outright assassination has occurred. and we watch of in some cases as police and national guard troops have been persuaded to kneel before the protesters and the demonstrators as if they were the transgressors. what is going on in this country? if can -- can you imagine what the chinese, the russians, the world for that matter, must think as they watch all these images? at least 307 officers of the law
5:02 pm
have been injured and wounded, 2 that we know of have been killed since the riots began. there is no moral equivalence is city between the murder of george floyd and the murder or assault on those cops. it is an unjust response to atrocity that took place on memorial day in minneapolis. but city and local government leaders -- again, mostly democratic leaders around the country -- are allowing these outrages in their communities, many of them virtue signaling towards thugs, the street criminals, the anarchists tearing through their streets. virtue signaling is, of course, the act of joining a social movement or campaign to make it seem like you care about the issue driving that movement or campaign, demonstrating if you will solidarity without actually doing anything. no one is better at it than
5:03 pm
leftist politicians, rinos, of course, and the national left-wing media. but hollywood liberal elites are the best of them, telling us what's morally right, believe that they have some power and are somehow arbiters of virtue no matter their individual moral corruption. virtual -- virtue signaling has now taken a deep hold in american life. our political leaders, our members of the armed forces, law enforcement, professional athletes and, yes, just us ordinary americans all taking part. you may have noticed on social media the hashtag blackout tuesday. users posting a black image to supposedly show solidarity with the african-american community. it really didn't amount to much. it did clog up social media feeds. it did drown out messages,
5:04 pm
sometimes important messages. tuesday was, of course, also a primary election day in eight states. information for those who wanted to know where to go to rote for local leaders -- to vote for local leaders who could potentially make great changes all blocked out by the virtuous. all so somebody could earn likes on social media and maybe some followers. maybe a lot of followers. the virtue signaling doesn't stop there though. with careful planning on the part of the radical left, former president barack obama last night provided new marching orders to his followers. >> bring about real change, we both have have to highlight a problem and make people in power uncomfortable, but we also have to translate that into practical solutions and laws that can be implemented and we can monitor and make sure we're following up
5:05 pm
on. lou: pretty, pretty words devoid of real meaning, however. made most uncomfortable by all of this, it seems, is los angeles mayor eric garcetti. he has caved in to the mob of protesters making demands in his city like these: to defund or even abolish the police. >> city council members and all our elected leaders that -- [inaudible] lou: garre itty announced a -- garcetti announced that he is cutting around $122 million from the los lang police -- los angee department's budget and declaring a moratorium on people in the state's gang day -- database. >> this is bigger than just a
5:06 pm
budget, but i want you to know we will not be increasing our police budget. how can we at this moment? we will put a moratorium on putting people in the cal gang database, require officers to intervene when they see inappropriate use of force, to always report misconduct. lou: according to mayor garcetti's proposed budget for next year, the lapd would have an operating budget of more than $3 billion. that $122 million to be cut by garcetti amounts to about 4% of the overall budget. not surprisingly, this math isn't going over too well with blue check twitter or the community that it was supposed to appease. so what did mayor garre itty do next -- garcetti do next? well, it's very popular to do so, so he knelt in front of the very protesters who have destroyed parts of his city. supposedly in solidarity.
5:07 pm
but really in defeat. garcetti isn't the only one to have done this. joe biden took a knee in his first non-virtual campaign event this week. nobody in the left-wing national media complained he was band perking though. so why are so many of our leaders willing to do this? they're selling, apparently, the idea that more black americans are killed by police than other races. the facts, of course, are difficult because the numbers say the exact opposite. for the past three years and more, white americans have been more likely to be shot and killed by police. last year 370 white americans were killed by police. 235 were black. but for all politically correct society and our idealogically bound left-wing national media and, of course, those radical
5:08 pm
dems, these numbers are simply ignored. not overlooked, they're ignored by those radical dems and the left-wing media. it's why virginia's governor, really north a.m. -- ralph north a.m. has managed to survive in office. by pandering, pandering at every chance he gets to the radical dems that he embarrassed. so he is virtue signaling himself to a high fever pitch. now he's trying to remove a confederate statue of robert e. lee in richmond, a popular target of the left. of fairly meaningless to the rest of society. and northam is still in office. drew brees, on the other hand, was forced to apologize because he made statements about his personal beliefs, making these comments: >> i will never agree with
5:09 pm
anybody disrespecting the flag of the united states of america or our country. it brings me to tears thinking about all that has been sacrificed. not just those in the military, but for that matter, those throughout the civil rights movements of the '60s and everyone and all that has been endured by so many people up until this point. and is everything right with our country right now? no, it's not. we still have a long way to go. but i think what you do by standing there and showing respect to the flag with your hand over your heart is it shows unity. lou: and for that, brees has been forced to apologize saying, quote: it breaks my heart to know the pain i have caused. end quote. senator ted cruz responded with an accurate assessment of what happened to drew brees. quote: sadly predictable, said cruz. pro sports have become p.c.

5:17 pm
today about whether to approve subpoenas for former obama era officials about crossfire hurricane, the hillary clinton investigation, but chairman lindsey graham decided to delay a vote until next week. joining us tonight former congressman, former chairman of the house oversight committee, jason chaffetz, also a fox business contributor and author of the book "the deep state." great to have you with us, jason. let's start with the development of, first, the remarks by the attorney general talking about foreign maligned actors and understanding clearly that antifa and he also mention other groups but did not name them, presumably across a broad political spectrum but, again, not stated as such. your reaction. >> the attorney general's been very clear and very precise in saying that there are outside actors that are taking advantage
5:18 pm
of a situation and instigating violence x. those people need to be dealt with. they need to be targeted by the police, they need to be put in jail, they need to be prosecuted. i'm sympathetic to those that want to protest. i think it's the american way, people have a first amendment right to do it. but those that are going to commit violence, property damage, looting, assault on officers or military personnel, we cannot stand for that ever. that's not acceptable. and so i think the attorney general's right, i'm glad he's on top of it, and i'm glad that the president designated antifa the way that he did to give focus across the nation to law enforcement on who we should be looking out for. lou: and yet we're watching primarily democratic mayors, democratic governors, democratic city councils giving, just giving a free pass to apprehended rioters, looters. it's really quite something to
5:19 pm
see, an ideological alignment amongst those breaking the law and those who are designated to enforce it. >> and i hope they pay a big political price for it. you were talking earlier, lou, about eric garcetti who's the mayor of los angeles. now wanting to cut the budget. it's going to be somehow vogue to just defund or get rid of the police in these -- are you kidding me? and if the l.a. mayor is serious about doing it, why don't we start with getting rid of his own personal security detail. because i gotta tell you, he's transferred all around los angeles everywhere he goes with l.a. police officers, they're by his side to protect him. if he wants to get rid of the police, show us where your money is, mayor. get rid of your own security detail, then tell me if you need the police. lou: he could show us where his heart is as well in sol solidarity, he could eliminate police protection for bel air, for hollywood, for the wealthier
5:20 pm
areas in los angeles. i suspect he would get a quick response from the citizenry. i'm just guessing. what do you think? >> yeah, i think if they got rid of the police and defunded them there at city hall and for the city council and all that, i think they'd probably have a little bit of an attitude adjustment. but the mayor can show us by example if that's what he believes, then do it to himself first and see how it goes. give it maybe 72 hours, see how he's feeling about it. lou: i think that's about, i think that's about right. preposterous mayor. i mean, that is just a preposterous person. >> yeah. lou: i just cannot figure out a way to understand, to comprehend why the city puts up with him. let's turn to ron johnson. senator johnson really common -- demonstrating real character and commitment to getting to the
5:21 pm
bottom of obamagate, and i have to say i do nothing but applaud him. and now he has subpoena power. i would say john brennan and a few other folks have got some real problems developing very quickly. what do you think? >> very disappointed in lindsey graham for delaying yet again an investigation that should have started, quite frankly, about six months ago. hats off, though, to senator johnson in being able to get after what is one of the biggest political scandals ever in the history of this country. and i'm glad that senator johnson is taking advantage of his chairmanship to do what he should be doing. to do anything else would be malpractice. lou: and lindsey graham, my gosh, it was a love fest, telling rod rosenstein basically, you know, i'm with you, and we don't want the create too much fuss here, so go ahead and do as you will. it was really a stunningly pathetic performance for a guy
5:22 pm
who had been talking about he was going to be a regular, a real investigator and get to the bottom the corruption, the political corruption of the fbi, the justice department and their effort to overthrow the president of the united states. it looked like he was having simply a walk in the park, didn't it? >> well, at least they had the hearing. i thought senator mike lee, senator hawley, certainly ted cruz took it the most seriously, asked very pointed questions and drew testimony -- it's pretty stunning that the political targeting of an opposition campaign, rod rosenstein didn't even read the fisa application, if yet he's the last line of defense to make sure everything's in order. he signs off that it's verified but also testifies that he never read it. and he says he's going to take full accountability? i don't buy it. this is -- it's just, it's so sad, it's so wrong. but i got, you know, all our chips now are on what mr. durham
5:23 pm
and attorney general barr are doing because i do think there are the people that lied to rod rosenstein, that's what he testified to. if they lied to rod rosenstein, they should be in jail. they should is have handcuffs on 'em, lou. lou: yeah, i think there's quite a few candidates for that honor being -- >> yeah. lou: and like you, i wouldn't mind watching those person -- perp walks for the politically corrupt in the doj and the intelligence agency upper levels. it would be quite, quite something. jason, thanks for being with us. great to see you. jason chaffetz. we'd like to hear your thoughts on all of this. follow me on twitter @loudobbs. we have quite a few comments this evening. like me on facebook and follow me on instagram @loudobbstonight. and a programming note, national security expert jim hanson, investigative journalist john solomon and pastor robert

5:29 pm
matter what damage they do, marley in democratic -- particularly in democratic cities, are being tolerated without, in most cases, consequences for those who even loot and rob. your thoughts. >> civil disobedience -- lou, good to be with you. it's the very fabric of who we are. it says how we as a people have always, you know, expressed our frustrations and our beliefs x. to see positive change. when you have demonstrators who are peacefully demonstrating but in their mid is antifa and people who just want to have a criminal escapade like we're see anything new york city, like we're seeing in other places, that's just wrong and needs to stop. it also offends me greatly that there's not been enough called out by many on the left about the ones who are shooting our officers, throwing rocks at our officers in cities that had nothing to do with what happened in minneapolis. and even in minneapolis it's not right for thieves to attack police officers who are trying
5:30 pm
to do their jobs. bad actors should be punished, the others should be encouraged to do the job that they're doing. lou: the, it's very, to me, amazing to watch eric garcetti, the mayor in los angeles, kneeling before the protesters and cutting his -- saying he will cut the budget of the police department. what did they do? what is the point of that? there is no claim against them. there is no dishonor. they're just trying to protect their city. it happened in minneapolis, in case all of these other folks in this country forgot. and it took a week -- and, by the way, i will say this, and it's, to me, it seems to be the absolute truth -- those demonstrations in minneapolis were necessary to bring those, the mayor and those local officials to their senses and to do the right thing. i mean, they had a video that's, that was absolutely self-evident
5:31 pm
of what had happened to that man. i mean, we will never forget that knee in the neck of that man. but everything that's transpired since, these riots, the vandalism, the killing of police officers, 307 wounded across the country, this is ignorance on the part of the national left-wing media, the radical dems, the left in this country to even tolerate this nonsense. >> well, let's just say it's sort of willful, i think it's a willful neglect or ignorance because they don't want to come face to face with the reality of what's actually happened. lou, you just pointed out something important here, it was actually -- it was civil obedience, it was uprising in minneapolis that finally got charges wrought against someone -- brought against someone who should have been charged with murder -- lou: absolutely. >> you can transfer this over to
5:32 pm
mayors like garcetti in l.a., give me a break. what do they want, a city with no rule, no allows? they're simply pandering. instead of honoring the life of someone who was killed in police custody, instead of honoring the police officers who do it right every day, we're pander to those voices. -- bannering to those voices. -- pandering to those voices. what we're seeing, and attorney general barr has pointed this out, we're seeing coordination. antifa and these anarchists need to be ready because they need to go after them and go after them hard. lou: you know, and i've talked with some top officials of our government about antifa. i was stun at one official in particular who responded that he didn't think, he didn't know anything about antifa being an international organization. it's, he doesn't know the history of antifa, he doesn't
5:33 pm
know its structure, and he's one of the people i would have expected, frankly, to know. the government is catching up and, obviously, attorney general barr knows what the hell he is talking about, and he's doing as much as we could ask, i believe, to come to terms with antifa. >> i agree. lou, could you imagine where we'd have been if president trump had not nominated attorney general barr? over the last year and a half, i've been able to work with him. he has cut through the bull of the left on impeachment, robert mueller, he has been open with the doj, he's actually started to go after those who did wrong, the corrupt cabal of comey, mccabe, brennan, rice, obama. and he's actually trying to put forth a reasonable response to bring the doj back to where it should be, someone that can be trusted by the american people. and for us not to investigate that, for us not to help him, for us not to get to the bottom of what they did to candidate trump and president trump is simply appalling.
5:34 pm
capitol hill needs to step up and help this attorney general do his job because he's actually doing his. lou: well, and the president of the united states who has been, as he always is, attacked by the radical left-wing media, the radical dems, this is a man who if he had not stepped up and told mayors and told those governors what they were -- which is weak and ineffective, i'll be very generous with the language -- who knows what would be happening. can you imagine a lesser president, the consequences of a lesser president in office? it's unimaginable. last word here, congressman. >> well, no, he stepped up. the president stepped up. he said what needed to happen. we saw it happen with states like georgia and others who the governor and mayors worked together to bring in the national guard, to bring in the police to make sure these peaceful protesters could protest but the criminals were going to get caught. that's happened across the country, and it's thanks to

5:41 pm
the former foreign secretary of china. he used to to be of a hand-huggr himself, is this statement means he's coming around. i think that's the direction of the debate in new delhi as well as in tokyo and perhaps even moscow. the opinion of china as a threat shifting more against china in a love of these -- a lot of these major power capitals. lou: so the united states now, a historic trade deal negotiated by president trump seems to be -- we don't know, we're not hearing a great deal from the administration on whether that is moving at all, let alone forward. your assessment. >> well, the president has made a number of policy statements in the recent few weeks on china. they have avoided saying anything on the trade agreement, as you point out. i think the president has been fulfilling his campaign promises
5:42 pm
on china. he focus it is on reciprocity, their keeping their word, sense of fairness toward american companies, but he's also said that if the chinese do not make the purchases and make the reforms, he will terminate the trade deal. he's said that twice now in the past month. so i think everybody's waiting to see will they make the purchases, will they change their laws. there's been a few steps forward, but it's hard to see how they can catch up with all the deadlines they've missed already, lou. lou: well, robert lighthizer has been quoted as saying that they're up to speed on the deal, they're meeting their obligations in his judgment as best they can. that's a, that's obviously an endorsement from the trade representative. >> i think if we look back at last year, we'd get a lesson on how the president enforces agreements with the chinese. when they sent the word document over reneging on about a third
5:43 pm
to a half of the items they'd agreed the including things steve mnuchin argued for like the current i section, when they reneged on all that, the president within 24 hours punished them, had a press conference, said this is not acceptable. everybody was scared that this was too tough, and the chinese came back to the table and restored some of these cuts. so i think that's what -- that's a possibility for what could happen with the trade deal. but everybody hopes not, that they can be sufficiently respectful of president trump. but they won't dare to renege on this trade deal. lou: several tough developments since that deal was signed by -- >> yeah. lou: -- by the president. and the vice premier. this is, we have had the wuhan, the china virus, we have -- this is a trade war that has, was being resolved. it now looks like a cold war,
5:44 pm
only it's a cold war with in which the united states has already suffered 107,000 deaths, casualties. >> yes. lou: and secondly, china did not warn us at all about the contagion, and the united states now, it is looking straight at a potential enemy. not a rival, not a competitor. their rhetoric expect actions of president xi whether they were talking about the south china sea, whether they were talking about their global ambitions, they mean to dominate the united states. can this president, could any president actually do business with them now? >> well, there are two problems, lou. i remember you were in the front row at the signing ceremony january 15th in the white house when the atmosphere of the day was friendship, cooperation, success going forward. as you say, a number of really
5:45 pm
major blows have been struck by the chinese. not just the 100,000, 107,000 dead americans. steve schwarzman, seated next to us at that ceremony, he's made an estimate that as much as $5 trillion -- almost a quarter of u.s. gdp -- has been lost because of the china virus. the chinese say they're going to get out of this fairly smoothly with not a lot of losses. they're brag about how fast their recovery is. so i think what the president's concerned about, lou, is not letting china pass us in economic power. the chinese say they will, they say they'll be double our gdp in about ten more years, and they'll go on to be triple. this is their plan for domination, to own us, if you will. i think the president's doing his best to stop that, but we all know the previous presidents set this up. so the real fear some people have, including me, we're starting too late. lou: well, we have no choice but
