twitter. that is all for us. wear your masks, be healthy, and we'll see you next week on barron's round table. ♪ ♪ they're going to take all the sex and violence out of it. all right, that does it -- [laughter] ♪ ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. radical left democrats are in their moment, but what will be the consequence on election day? for two weeks city after city across the country was hit by demonstrations, protests and rioting and street violence, and the mayhem captured the nation's attention without doubt. and so did the obvious conflicting objectives of many of those leading the demonstrations and the groups, the groups they represented. and, yes, the riots leaders as well. and now that a relative calm has is settled upon the nation, there is in seattle a curious spectacle underway.

demonstrators and protesters there now are occupiers and squatters, seizing part of the downtown. some six city blocks of seattle's capitol hill area. antifa and other anarchists, black lives matter and other radical left groups have gone from owning the streets for a couple of weeks to owning what they may think is permanently an autonomous zone. in just a week, calls to defund the police have turned to we are the police in at least that autonomous zone in seattle's capitol hill region. it's still under the control of antifa and other far-left groups. a border wall of sorts has been constructed around the perimeter of the zone. anyone who isn't welcome is met by scenes like these -- [background sounds]

[bleep] >> don't go away mad, just go away! >> i want to know -- >> [bleep] [background sounds] lou: a stern, rough crowd there. the state's democrat governor, jay inslee, appears clueless about what is actually going on in seattle. those, not his words, but effectively his answer when asked. washington's democrat senators patty murray and maria cant welshing they've been silent -- cantwell, they've been silent throughout. and the city's democrat mayor, jenny durkan, she's supporting those who have taken over part of the city. >> our president wants to tell a story about domestic terrorists who have a radical agenda. it's simply not true. lawfully gathering and

expressing first amendment rights, demanding we do better as a society is not terrorism, it is patriotism. lou: patriotism for whom? the mayor's comments, however, aren't nearly radical enough for one of the most radical city council members. a socialist recently led thousands of protesters right into seattle's city hall. today she took a friendly view of the armed anarchists occupying the autonomous zone, calling the area one of peace and dignity that should be in permanent control of the community. she then called for seattle's a mayor, well, just resign. >> we have to hold the establishment in various cities accountable. this violence against a peaceful protest movement on capitol hill was caroled out by mayor jenny durkan. tens of thousands of people in seattle are calling for her

resignation. i can tell you the only thing that went all right day after day after day since the first protests on may 30th was the police, under orders by the democratic party establishment and mayor durkan, it was the police making things going all right. lou: did you see how interested and thrilled the cnn anchor was with her comments? well, with the radical dems caught up in how best to bow to antifa's demands, president trump says he won't permit the lawlessness that now rages in part of seattle. he plans to straighten the city out if its leaders fail to do so. >> we're not going to let seattle be occupied by anarchists, and i'm not calling -- >> have you talked to the mayor? >> i'm not -- no, but i got to see a performance that i've never seen. i mean, you think he was a weak person in minneapolis, the woman, i don't know, has she

ever done this before? how can -- oh, it's papa nettic. no, no, we're not going to let this happen in seattle. if we have to go in, we're going to go in. the governor's either going to do it -- let the governor do it. he's got great national garden troops. he can do it. one way or the other, it's going to get done. lou: from top to bottom, the democrats, the left in this country is making it clear that they are anti-law enforcement and making no pretense otherwise. mayor durkan tweeted this, quote: the capitol hill autonomous zone is not a lawless wasteland of anarchist insurrection. it is a peaceful expression of our community's collective grief and their desire to build a better world. given his track record, it's not hard to believe that trump wrong yet again. end quote. they're pandering to radical activists and not confined to the pacific northwest.

in san francisco that city's democrat mayor with has announced city police officers stop responding to non-criminal activities. police funds are being diverted from the police department toward the african-american community. the city's police chief also says they'll stop releasing booking photos so as not to influence the bias of police officers and, of course, the public. in downtown st. louis, the fox theater there posted tributes to both george floyd and retired police captain david dorn who was murdered by looters. the fox theater did what they thought was the right thing, they used two hashtags on their marquee, hashtag black lives matter, hashtag blue lives matter. the blue lives hashtag angered the radical left-wing mob. so the theater had it removed, and they apologized. we don't know whether they also

had to kneel. in new york today, governor andrew cuomo signed an executive order, an order demanding new york police departments reform or else he'll take money and, of course, jocks. jobs. not a great recipe, it seems, for re-election for mr. cuomo especially when the largest police department known as new york's finest and, by the way, law enforcement organizations and agencies are some of the largest contributors to the democratic party. and a senior editor at the "l.a. times" says the term "looting" is racist. the dems would like you to now worry about scenes like this. if you speak out and call it for what it is, looting by a violent mob, you're a racist. but the left says removing money from police departments will make all of this go away. leaders in at least 34 cities and statements across the -- and states across the country now,

democratic leaders we should point out, are now actively or simply considering defunding their police departments. the left has sown chaos in parts of this country with their obsession of race and identity-based politics, but that now is accompanied by their for power. the democrat party is under threat by the radical left. not just anarchists, it's a a threat that poses a large threat to the democratic party, a radical transformation not for the country, but for the leftward-canted democrats. and the possibility, of course, that the extreme left's threat may reach every american. not pretty thoughts. not exactly the stuff of the american dream. well, since march more than 40 million americans have filed for unemployment benefits, but that doesn't stop the u.s. chamber of commerce. no, sir. they are urging president trump to bring in more foreign workers

because they say that's a grand idea with 40 million americans occupant of work. out of work. the relentless chamber ceo, tom donohue, writing to the president yesterday saying, quote: it is crucial that they -- referring to american businesses -- have access to talent both domestically and from around the world, end quote. this year more than 37 million people are on food stamps in the united states. just last week another 1.5 million americans filed for unemployment benefits. yet the chamber of commerce that is largely responsible for many of the policies that have led to the outsourcing of millions of american jobs and, oh, yes, sending as much of the supply chain to asia in particular and china specifically, well, the

commerce chamber remains hell bent on bringing in foreign workers and still maintains a posture of the hell with the american worker. rino republican senators and candidates falling in line with the resis about the establishment -- resistant establishment. they're distancing themselves from president trump because that worked out so well in 2018. "the daily beast" reviewed 15 ads by republicans in battleground states since march. fourteen of those ads made no mention whatsoever of the president. senator cory gardner of colorado ignored president trump but highlighted his work with the state's democratic governor, nonetheless. senator susan collins ignored the president as well but promoted her work with democrat senators tim kaine and joe manchin. that should assure a landslide for collins. house rinos forfeiting their power under former speaker paul ryan in 2018. they followed the same strategy

of distancing themselves from the irrepressible president and the man who is the leader of the party and who is already a historic president. clever people, these republican establishment types. on wall street stocks finished higher. the dow up 477 points, the s&p up 39, the nasdaq gaining 96. volume on the big board, 5.8 billion shares. and for the week, the dow lost 5.a 5%, the s&p 5%, the nasdaq down more than 2%. crude oil, $36.42 in today's settlement. a reminder to listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on the salem radio network. up next, a d.c. appellate court panel pushes back against the justice department and the attorneys for general michael flynn. and, oh, yes, they're not too

lou: breaking news, former acting dir of national intelligence ric grenell is calling out big tech's hypocrisy. microsoft announcing yesterday, quote: it will not sell facial recognition technology to police departments in the united states until we have a national law grounded in human rights. can you believe that microsoft arrogance? well, grenell, obviously, was annoyed as well. he tweeted this in response, quote: journalists should ask microsoft and brad smith about their technology sales to countries that throw gays and lesbians off buildings since they are so concerned about human rights in the united states. senate judiciary committee chair lindsey graham promising yesterday yet again to hold obamagate criminals accountable. >> i don't believe mccabe and

comey could have possibly not known that the dossier had been rejected by the sub-source. i can't believe the fbi's that poorly run. i'm not going to let four people who interviewed the sub-source for three months get blamed for this. it's not fair to blame it on the underlings if, in fact, the people at the top knew. if you care about the rule of law, you should want me to get to the bottom of this. lou: so does that, does that mean graham is going after obama? clinton? what's going on? he's had some sort of amazing epiphany. we've waited for years for graham to get to the bottom of obamagate. he's been a free thinker and talker throughout, landing often on several different sides of every single issue. he's held only one hearing though. one hearing. and he's been promising to get to the bottom of obamagate for almost a year and a half.

that hearing featuring former deputy attorney general rod rosenstein during that time, one hearing. general michael flynn's attorney, sidney powell, telling a federal appellate court today the criminal case against general flynn must end. the department of justice calling for the judge to dismiss the case after all of the evidence that the department of justice and the fbi worked overtime trying to frame general flynn. powell says judge emmet sullivan and his shadow prosecutor that he brought in, retired judge john gleeson, has no authority to do anything further in this case arguing, quote: the department of justice is the only entity that has the authority to prosecute this case. the government has quit, it's time to leave the field. one of the judges questioned

gleeson, arguing on behalf of, well, the -- [laughter] arguing on behalf what it means to have an add is very share in -- adversary in which the government and the defendant agree. there wasn't, apparently, a very good answer to the issue. joining us tonight is tom fitton, the president of judicial watch. tom, that's quite a spectacular moment where the three judges are basically going after sidney powell basically saying to her how, how can you possibly want to defend general flynn. wouldn't it be easier if you just kind of went along with all of us in the judiciary and just let the justice department frame this man? this -- were you stunned by their demeanor and the tone of their questions? >> you know, we were in court last week, lou, trying to protect a lower court's ruling that hillary clinton testify. and we got a lot of pushback from the judges trying to, you

know, second guess judge lambert's decision to try to enforce the law in his court. now you have general anyone victimized here -- flynn victimized here, and i hear a panel basically having zero interest in protecting general flynn. and, you know, i tell you, you kind of get the whiff of politics here. and if general flynn is to succeed, it will be because the executive branch -- they're more concerned about the separation of powers issues that the administration has a raised with the judge over taking or usurping the power of the executive branch to prosecute anyone as opposed to protecting the defendant rights of general flynn who's currently now facing having to respond to this, this terrible brief that was filed by this anti-trump retired judge, judge gleeson, to help judge sullivan figure out whether to continue to harass the poor general.

it's really crazy. and i don't see, based on what i heard today unless they change, you know, unless they kind of buy into the trump administration's arguments -- by the way, lou, the justice department didn't file a writ of mandamus. general flynn had to do the heavy lifting. they came along for the ride after the fact, and the court called them on that. lou: [inaudible] >> unreliable. unreliable. lou: this department of justice is an enigma and many mysteries and a lot of secret es covered up. -- secrets covered up. it is getting to be a little unsettling to me at least to think that this department of justice is not doing the right thing here. you're talking about checks and balances. we're talking about co-equal branches of government. we can talk til, i think the quaint phrase is til the cows

come home. but the reality is this is about a justice department and an fbi so damn corrupt they went out and framed a general, a former general of the united states army. >> [inaudible] lou: and they did so with impunity and with absolutely, with absolutely no fear of consequence. and, by god, listening to this appellate court today, watching the slow walk of the justice department and their obvious efforts to run out the clock -- after all, it's only four years after they, the incident -- it's sickening to watch because that's what's at work here. >> you know, when you see lindsey graham talk about the salacious and unverified dossier, we've known comey's known about that for years. they all knew it was a fake. senator lindsey graham's finally canning for, quote, accountability -- asking for, quote, accountability because i suspect senator graham recognizes that the justice department isn't going to do

anything. this is what -- lou: do you think that -- >> the justice department isn't going to hold these top officials accountable to the rule of law. and if i were the president, i'd appoint a special counsel, authorize them to use the u.s. marshals or a separate law enforcement agency. the fbi, you can't trust them to investigate themself. we're seeing the results today in court. general flynn, he would be in jail even under this justice department if sidney powell hadn't blown the whistle for him. lou: yeah. i wonder if we're going to hear in his hearing any further about who gave that dossier, at least one of the people that his good friend, the late john mccain, what was his role in this. what did he think of that dossier? and perhaps he had some proximity to that given their association and friendship.

i mean, you know, the questions here pile up. they pile up in a hurry. and i wonder just exactly whose motivation will prevail here, that of the attorney general -- strong, driving the american way and a desire for justice now -- or the old justice department that felt like it could go after, could spy on a president, it could frame a general, a national security adviser with, again, with impunity. because you know what? right now all of the bull aside, we have seen zero accountability for trying to overthrow a president of the united states. it is sickening to watch, and it is just as sickening to watch the national left-wing media blind themselves to all that occurred, to see no evil, to hear no evil.

>> look, just last week we had an insurrection of washington d.c. the president had to suppress. they were trying to destroy the city, lou. and what is the reaction of the establishment class in this town this week? let's undermine the police with absurd regulations, and let's undermine the thin blue line that protects us from the anarchist forces out there. we have antifa out there in seattle. justice department, i don't know what they're doing. who's vindicating the civil rights of the american is citizens being held hostage within those few blocks? the other city residents being forced to deal with this hostile organization within the city limits? incredible. lou: don't you -- [inaudible conversations] >> go ahead, sorry. lou: he's all alone except for those who vote for him, who support him and understand. this is about the life and the death of a constitutional

republic. that's how important this election is s and it is not one wit less important than that. as tom fitton well knows. judicial watch president, good to have you with us. thanks so much, tom. we'd like to hear your thoughts on all of this. share your comments. follow me on twitter @loudobbs like me on facebook, follow me on ins gramm @loudobbstonight. victor davis hanson among our guests here monday. we hope you will join us for that, and thank you for being with us here this evening. up next, twitter removing accounts that were intended to spread chinese propaganda about the china virus and the hong kong takeover. we'll take that up and more. gordon chang joins me when we continue. stay with us. stay with us. finish there are people who say things aren't made here anymore. those people should make a trip to michigan. or kentucky. or illinois.

♪ ♪ flush. lou: joining us tonight, gordon

chang, senior fellow at the gatestone institute. good to have you with us. let's start with the threat from a chinese official saying that the united states will face a fight if, indeed, we choose to decouple from china. this is, on its face, outrageous. your reaction. >> well, china used to say that it was impossible to decouple, and now they're actually waging a frantic e campaign against it because they know it's not only possible, but it's also inevitable. last year, lou, china's merchandise trade surplus with the united states was 81.8% of its overall merchandise surplus which shows you how important the united states is. and china right now is an economy that is continuing to contract. they really need the united states because their exports are declining. they need american consumers to save the economy of china.

lou: what do you say to those who argue that the united states needs china more than they need us? that is, hook at our dependency on -- look at our dependency on the supply chains. look at apple. it has the guts of its business, much of it, in china. half a million employees in china. it's really difficult to see how quickly we can decouple even though i happen to be among those who think we definitely should. >> well, apple is the company that is the most dependent on china, and we have one industry, pharmaceuticals, that is dependent on china. but apart from that, we can decouple very fast, and, in fact, we have been decoupling very fast almost across the board, lou. so this is a process which began before president trump, certainly accelerated under president trump, and it's not just the question of the tariffs under section 301 of the trade act of 1974 which has a remedy

for the theft of u.s. intellectual property. it's also -- lou: wait a minute, did i misunderstand you? did you say that decoupling, as you call it, started before president trump? >> it started before because xi jinping, the chinese ruler, was enacting all sorts of anti-foreign company legislation and rules. and so there was a slow start. but it's certainly accelerated under president trump. it was not only because of the tariffs, but it was also because of the coronavirus. and also there are other policies of the administration that encouraged american companies to lead. and this is a trend that is going to accelerate largely -- lou: well, yes. i have to say, you and i have a different view of history because, frankly, i didn't see any decoupling whatsoever. and there was, in point of fact, if you look to the ceos of wall street today, you see nothing but avarice and lust for profit

in their faces and in their eyes because they are going into china in a very big way, the rushest -- if not the richest, the largest market imaginable on the planet right now outside of india and europe. i mean, this is, this is, this is a moment in history in which this president has to decide how to go forward. more than 100,000 americans murdered, in point of fact, by the chinese who refused to warn the world that they had unleashed a deadly contagion. that's a, that's a straightforward act of murder. >> it is, lou. lou: how can you balance all of these interests? >> the problem here is that we know that chinese communism is unreformable, so the only way we can protect ourselves is to reduce our exposure to it. and you're absolutely right, lou, it was even worse than refusing to warn.

china, during a five week period or maybe even longer, knew that this disease was human-to-human transmissable, but chinese leaders tried to tell the world it was not so contagious. and that means that this was an act, as you say, of murder. because at the same time, the chinese leaders were pressuring countries to accept arrivals from china. there's no other conclusion that fits the facts. this was malicious. this was an act of mass murder because we're talking about, what, 300, 400,000 people kill around the world? and that includes 116,000 americans as of today. lou: gordon chang, good to see you, thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. up next, how the democratic party is exploiting the black lives matter movement. bishop perry jackson joins me with that and much more right after these quick messages. please stay with u u u u ♪ limu emu & doug [ siren ]

committee, democratic senatorial campaign committee, the dnc. all have received money from act blue. joe biden making a curious comparison yesterday to the unrest after george floyd's murder. >> even dr. king's assassination did not have the worldwide impact that george floyd's death did. lou: wow. our next guest was with president trump yesterday in dallas for a round trip -- round table for a discussion about the civil unrest. i am pleased to is say bishop harry jackson, senior pastor at the hope christian church in maryland, author of "a manifesto: christian america's contract with minorities." it's great to have you, harry, here and to be able to talk with you. it's good to see you.

so let me start with the president. thank you, sir. we've got something going on here that is very difficult to really understand. we've got a lot of viewpoints, we've got a lot of collision. but what we are witnessing now just, for example, in seattle black lives matter complaining because the anarchists have taken over their messaging. your reaction to what we've witnessed, what we've experienced and where we are now. >> well, i believe this is time for courage and leadership, and i believe the president has both of those. but one of the challenges is that this crisis is trying to be exploited by the democratic party. when you knelt down at the capitol building, that was a bridge too far. it was almost as though they were saying we believe in you,

black america. the problem is that they had eight years of a presidency, four years with both the house and senate locked up, and they did nothing. criminal justice reform was led by president trump. the opportunity zone is helping right now in realtime in urban america to revitalize. the unemployment level of blacks, i could go on and on and on, trump has a minority doctrine that is for black people. but with, -- but, lou, one of te problems right now is they want to, the democrats want to use these assaults to alienate minorities against trump. if they lose the black vote, hispanic vote, they lose. now there are two messages that have to come out. and there's a tension, i want to

encourage your people watching to work with me with this tension. first tension is that african-americans need to know somebody cares about the loss of life. and this goes back to jim crow and the history. it's not just current america. and then the second thing is everybody knows we've got to keep america safe. i believe african-americans are looking to hear we care. the president doing what he did in dallas, speaking from the heart, will help turn and comfort african-americans. and then there needs to be a clear strategy to protect the cities and then to reform in the places that need it what policing looks like in america. two separate things. can't talk about -- [inaudible] i think a listening tour is

huge, lou. lou: right. >> is that the president who has a quick mind, he's decisive, actually sat and listened to a mostly black panel. his vice president did that in my church in d.c. the week before. and i believe that -- i said this and you'll like it, i believe that this administration obviously you and i have talked about race many times. they did not create this problem despite what the democrats want to do, pointing fingers. the problem was here look ago. my father, he saw people hanging from trees, all kinds of crazy things. but we have the privilege of a courageous, strong leader. he can fix something he didn't start. and i believe it'll advance the american dream. i believe that king's dream was not just king's ownership, i

believe it was something inspired by god that even the pilgrims wanted in america, the mayflower compact. last -- [inaudible] church leads the way. what we're dealing with in america, it was the church that started the abolitionist movement and started the republican party. it was the church that decided that in the middle of civil war that many whites who had never seen a slave lost their lives to free folks. civil rights movement, did you know the naacp was started by a majority white group because of black lynchings in the early 20th century? so it's always been a mixed-race, primarily religious group that have led moral reform in our nation. and i believe we're about to do

it again. and i'm calling for a prayer movement followed up by specifics. i told the president yesterday i'd like to lead about 50 of these round tables where people regionally saw the problem. you and i agree that love intangible is not going to solve this problem. but love with servant's clothes on can change america. and i believe mr. trump is big enough, strong enough, bold enough to take action that will change our lives. lou: well, bishop harry jackson, you've given us, as always, a lot to think about, to consider carefully. we appreciate it, look forward to our next conversation, and i don't know why you with only want to lead 50 of those round tables, i think you need to work harder, bishop. we appreciate it. and i hope the president gives

[laughter] great to have you with us. >> thank you. lou: you know, talking with bishop harry jackson earlier, i've known him for a long time. good man and, you know, working with the president s and we were watching people who were not giving him credit in the african-american community. for the lowest unemployment rate in our country's history for african-americans, for other minorities, for the country. not giving him credit for the opportunity zones, not giving him credit for justice reform. and he's the guy who they, you

know, all americans should remember he's the guy who said to the inner city -- african-americans specifically -- what have you got to lose? asking for a chance, and he delivered. how does he get that message -- >> --well, i think a good spokesman like my good friend harry jackson -- in fact, we're on television back to back in washington, d.c. on sun mornings. he is a great christian and a great spokesman for the faith. and, look, i think harry would agree with this, yes, we need to extinguish the problem of racism. president trump doesn't have a scintilla of racism about him at all. but the president was right yesterday and the last several weeks and also talking about the problem of a lawlessness in the bible. and look, lou -- or in the country. and look, lou, this whole idea of dismantling the police, that is an absurd idea that leads to

hurt not just in the white communities, but in african-american communities and throughout america. you know, in row mans 13 the apostle paul said government authorities are established bid go. they're ministers of god to execute punishment against those who do what is evil. and when paul wrote those words, rome was in control. they had executed christ 30 years earlier. they would behead paul, ultimately. paul knew above all people that law enforcement doesn't always get it right, but that is no excuse for eliminating law enforcement. and to do so is foolish. i think about that bible verse, seek -- [inaudible] became fools. lou, the left is is nothing but fools when they try to replace god's idea with their own foolish idea to dismantle the police. lou: you know, it's -- i can't even believe what i'm hearing from these radical left groups,

the democratic party buying into it. nancy pelosi looks like she is in a fever to get as far left as she possibly can. she wants to knock down some statue herself. >> yes. lou: it is, this is a moment in which we are watching irrationality, we're watching great passions, and we are watching some of the most foolish language i've ever heard in this country. and that's going some to say. and what i'm talking about in particular are people saying, you know, turn over pieces of a city to a, quote-unquote, community. a community, by the way, that's divided between antifa and black lives matter. >> well, lou -- lou: literally battling each other right now. >> absolutely. and, lou -- lou: idealogically. >> yes. and that's the whole point. i mean, once the left, if they succeed, they don't only want to dismantle our current police,

they want to replace our current police with the thought police who go around patrolling every thought that they find objectionable. and if the left ever gains control of this country again, i predict it's going to be like the french revolution. it's going to be bring out the guillotines and execute every thought they object to and every person who holds every thought that they object to. that is why what happens in november is so crucial. the future of our nation is at stake here. lou: it is, indeed, and that's why so much also we need to rid ourselves of the political corruption that is reaching through our government now still. and spygate is not over until the accountability of all who waged war on this president are brought to justice. pastor robert jeffress, great to see you, as always. thank you, my friend. we'll be right back.
