and remember -- you can't take it with you. do you know sasquatch? >> well, of course. he plays cards here every tuesday night. lou: good evening, everybody. as the nation celebrated america's independence day, there was unspeakable violence in many of our cities all across this land. as most of us celebrated, the left and their mobs continued their assault on the american way of life and fellow americans. there is blood on the hands of the radical democrats, big business, wall street and the rinos, all of whom have been quick to support the city ran call mobs -- the tyrannical mobs and the organizations that helped to create them as they try to destroy much of our cities and work to erase our history and try to forever change the fabric of this great

nation. on a weekend in which we celebrated the birth of this great nation, more deadly violence erupted in large cities and small. much of the violence carried out by black lives matter protesters and demonstrators. that organization trying to intimidate our national leaders into forcing radical change, and they are enjoying great success so far. they are following the tenets of marxist ideology. their mission statement reads in part, quote: we disrupt the western prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and villages that collectively care for one another. now, where have we heard that term, "village"? one of the group's founders even said in 20 a 15 that they are, indeed, marxist. >> i also think that it might -- we actually do have an ideological frame, myself and

alicia in particular are trained organizers. we are trained marxists. finish. lou: yes, they are, but you don't hear that much, do you? not in national left-wing media, not from the radical democrats and the business elites who are sending tens of millions of dollars to the organization without the slightest concern about what that organization stands for. their comrades in new york city have sent crime statistics soaring. the nypd reporting shootings up 200% from a year ago. 63 people were shot this holiday weekend alone in new york, 111 of them were -- 11 of them were shot to death. as alarming, the numbers from chicago where at least 87 people were shot between thursday evening and sunday night. seventeen of them were killed including a 14-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl.

why are we putting up with this grotesque new reality? thanks to, of course, the radical left. nationwide, six children were shot to death this weekend. six. do their lives matter? and why aren't we doing something, something about all of this? an 8-year-old in atlanta gunned down on the fourth of july near a black lives matter protest demonstration. now, these organizations may be able to stomach these kinds of acts, but i'll tell you, i can't. this is grotesque, it is disgusting, and it must end. atlanta's black democrat mayor bottoms has been sympathetic to the cause of black lives matter. she even bowed to one of their demands and called for police reform, whatever form it took.

well, it took the death of an 8-year-old girl for her to finally say enough is enough. >> you can't blame this on the police officer, you can't say that we -- this is about criminal justice reform. at the point that an 8-year-old baby is killed, the discussions have ended. lou: good for the mayor, and i hope that some, just some of the democrat leaders across the country can find the guts to follow her lead. if democrat leaders like the mayor of atlanta the along with those in the left-wing national media once cheered as these anarchists assaulted and murdered people while vandalizing and destroying businesses. yes, many of them minority businesses. during this fourth of july speech, president trump distinguished himself as the leader of this great nation who will no longer put up with those actions. >> angry mobs are trying to tear

down statues of our founders, do deface our most -- deface our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. many of these people have no idea why they're doing this, but some know exactly what they are doing. they think the american people are weak and soft and submissive. [background sounds] but, no, the american people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country -- [cheers and applause] and all of its values, history and culture to be taken from them. [cheers and applause] this attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty, must be stopped, and it will be stopped very quickly. lou: we haven't heard much from joe biden, but now that we have over this past weekend, we may

not be longing for more of his thoughts. joe biden served as a senator for 36 years and a vice president for 8. and what does he want to do now? well, now he says he's ready to make america anything, but whatever it is, it will not be america. biden tweeted last night that he will beat president trump and that when he does, quote, we won't just rebuild this nation, we'll transform it. biden didn't expand on what he meant or, hike his former boss -- like his former boss, he doesn't want to tell the american people just how he'll transform the nation. but his july 4th message is a clear signal to all that his plans will not only pander to the radical left, but maybe go full radical on them. >> our country was founded on an idea with. we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are

created equal. never lived up to it. we have a chance to rip the roots of systemic racism out of this country. we have a chance to live up to the words that founded this nation. lou: incredible. biden claim ared that the nation hasn't upheld the ideals and the specific ideal that all men are created equal, certainly ignores the progress over the entire life of this nation. but in particular, of the past 60 years which he has lived through. and the fact that biden served as vice president for the only black american president in our history. but biden seems to forget much. biden's lurch to the left is precisely what president trump warned about in his address at mount rushmore about a radical left hell bent on destroying america's history, our heritage as well as the statues of our heroes. >> in our schools, our

newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. if you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted and punished. not gonna happen to us. [cheers and applause] make no mistake, this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the american revolution. in so doing, they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence and hunger and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery and progress. to make this possible, they're

determined to tear down every statue, symbol and memory of our national heritage. lou: and turning to the, to the east, red storm rising. the chinese ambassador total united kingdom calling on the estimated 120,000 chinese students within the united kingdom to, quote, serve the motherland, end quote. the chinese ambassador told students, i hope you will carry on the glorious tradition of patriotism. i hope you will always live your personal dreams and the greater cause of striving for the chinese dream of national rejuvenation, end quote. working for the mother ifland. this coming as the u.k. is set to phase out the chinese telecom giant huawei from the if nation's 5g network which is a reversal of the u.k.'s earlier

decision this year in which the stated huawei would play a limited role in those networks. but their concerns about surveillance and simple appropriation by china has changed the mind of the leadership of the u.k. just in time. and in the south china sea, two united states aircraft carriers conducting exercise this weekend, the uss nimitz, the uss ronald reagan responding to communist china's exercises going on in the region at the same time and demonstrating clearly that the united states maintain free navigation through the south china sea. china's e propagandist outlet, "the global times," claiming quickly that the united states ships were deployeded at china's, quote, pleasure. and they threatened, then, the u.s. naval ships by warning china possesses missiles that could destroy the american

carriers. an outright threat by the chinese. that's where we are. and the president, thankfully, has sent american naval force to the south china sea to remind china of just who we are as a nation. the national left-wing media, again missing the mark when reporting on the china virus, cnn today ran the headline -- are you ready? quote: doctors say the u.s. is in a freefall with coronavirus as 32 states struggle with higher rates of infection. as if cnn was pulling for a certain outcome as, apparently, so would be nbc. they reported, quote: big crowds celebrated july 4th as coronavirus cases spike across the country. end quote. "the washington post" updated its china virus coverage last

night and ran this headline, and it is a beauty. quote: seven-day average case total in the u.s. sets record for 27th straight day. what is missing from these stories? well, quite a bit, actually. and the most salient consideration, the fact that even as cases are increasing, indeed, they are, the deaths from the china virus have plunged dramatically. yesterday e 212 people died in this country from the virus. that is the lowest number of deaths since 162 americans died back on march 24th. deaths so far are down so much that the virus will soon cease to qualify as an epidemic according to the guidelines of the cdc itself. last week the china virus deaths accounted for 5.9% of total

american deaths, down from 9% just the previous week. and the tenth straight week of decline. the cdc states, quote: the percentage is currently at the epidemic threshold but will likely change as more death certificates are processed particularly for recent weeks. i don't know how such outstanding news outlets as cnn, nbc and the washington post could fail to notice that very salient and important point. but they did. there you have it. and on wall streeted today the, stocks -- well, they rallied. a strong beginning to the week and the quarter. the dow up 460 points, the s&p up 50, the nasdaq, well, a new record close for the nasdaq which gained 226 points today. the 24th record of the year, my

lou: breaking news now, the supreme t today announcing another win for president trump and the nation and dealing a blow to the never trumpers on the electoral college issue. the court unanimously holding that it is constitutional for

states to require electors to back the winner of the state's presidential election and to punish any who violate that requirement. how about that? the supreme court making more and more sense, it seems, by the day. quite a departure from the trajectory of the past several decades. also breaking tonight, hunter biden back in the news. and it turns out he's no longer on the board of that chinese private equity firm, bhr partners. not on the board, but it turns out that one of hunter's companies still owns 10% of that firm. 10%. this as hunter's father joe pledged in december that no one in his family would be involved in any foreign business in he's elected president. well, he's -- [laughter] that 10% investment may be just left where it is.

joining us tonight to take all of this up is tom fitton, the president of judicial watch. tom, i want to get, first, your reaction to the decision on the supreme court holding that the electoral college really does matter. >> well, it's an attack on our republic, it's an attack on the electoral college. lou: right. >> the left was trying to manipulate individual electors to overturn the results of the election, but the threat isn't over, lou, because they're also trying to upend the electoral college by requiring states -- let's say texas votes for a republican president, but the popular vote nationally goes for the opponent. well, under this scheme texas would be required potentially to throw all of its electors in the pot with the person who won the popular vote as opposed to the one who won the vote in texas or somewhere else. so, essentially, it would undo the compromise at the heart of

our constitutional system which allowed big states and small states to get together and come up with a compromise that protects the power of the small states by having electors to overcome the populist, big states that could swamp the system in any federal election. look, we have individual states, lou. the left hates it, and that's why they're trying to undo the electoral college. lou: well, and they have some company, because there are a number of people on the right who would like to see the federal system prevail over the -- the federalist system of this country and to eliminate states' rights as well. this is, as you say and as judicial watch has been purr if suing, this is a critically -- pursuing, this is a critical important issue among so many. the republican party, do you believe it is sufficiently animated in defending against

the assault by the democrats and the left in this country? >> generally, no. i mean, one of the problems besides kind of the weak approach too many republicans have to these dire threats to our nation is that the left focusing and fighting on so many issues, and the standard operating procedure for many republicans and, frankly, just many regular people is, you know, we just can't fight everywhere. but they're fighting everywhere. they're fighting on the electoral college, they're trying to swamp the mail with ballots, they had the coup impeachment against trump, they've got violence in the streets. lou, our republic is under attack like it's never been before, and it can't be the status quo or the typical approach that defenders of the constitution typically face, well, we'll just win in the long run. that's not going to work. lou: i want to take up the biden issue, and i'm talking about the hunter biden issue still with

10% ownership in that private equity china, chinese private ec butty firm. but -- equity firm. but i want to get, if you will, a sense from you as to the president taking on for the first time corporate america and its role in this left-wing fascism that is being bred in this country. i have to give the president great credit, because that took great courage. >> well, that was one of the most important speeches not only in his presidency, but of any recent american presidency in terms of highlighting the left's assault on our freedoms. and one of the big, one of the dirty little secrets, the left would have you belief that corporate america is on the side of the right or conservatives. that's far from the truth. on cultural constitutional issues, the leftists control the corporations, they're pressuring social media to censor trump, censor conservatives, they are subsidizing literally the left

that's trying to overthrow the country now through a communist revolution. it's a troubling time period, and we've got to highlight that corporations are no friend of our values on these key issues. lou: yeah. did you see or hear about the commercials that were running over the weekend from the blm, apparently, i don't know who's paying for them, but supporting blm saying it's the time for radical change right now, we've got to have change but, again, not saying what that change is. it's a 30-second commercial, but the time for change is now. i mean, i -- watching television over the weekend just a bit, i mean, everybody is preaching something. it is amazing that the number of organizations, corporations hectoring america to change. it's just, it's stunning to me, and no one seems to know what the hell they're talking about.

maybe they don't either. >> well, the corporate left or the corporations are afraid of the left for boycotts and just being embarrassed generally. and they've got this attitude when it comes to advertising and marketing to double down in terms of supporting these radical left-wing movements. you have the nfl coming down on the side of anti-americanism. you've got the nba supporting it as well. it's a terrible situation, and it's up to americans to say no to it. you just can't let it slide by, because we'll lose our country before we know it. lou: yeah. it -- that's exactly the point. i want to take up hunter biden, but we're up against a hard out. so, tom, i'm going to do something i hate to do, impose on you to stay with us through this commercial break to take up hunter biden and all that judicial watch has done in pursuing the truth of his situation. we'd like to hear your thoughts

we need the full details, and just knowing now that he still has investments or his son still has investment ties to china, the communist chinese just really is the icing on the cake. you know, he's hiding records. the state department's hiding records. we just sued the university of delaware for his senate records. bind has a public record that, frankly, still isn't public, which is a big problem. lou: yeah. absolutely. with well, tom fitton, thanks so much. we appreciate it again for all you and judicial watch do. thanks so much. we turn now to ed rollins, the savant himself, top strategist for great america pac, former reagan white house political director, fox business political analyst, and that's all of your many honorifics that i'm going to read, ed. how are you? [laughter] good to have you with us. >> good. thank you. lou: give us your thoughts about the left, because the president took on the left in glorious

fashion. your thoughts. >> well, the line drawn in the sand of what kind of campaign he wants to run. obviously, he has to be comfortable with the campaign he wants to run. democrats are very enthused, they're leading in all the polls, they're still out there. they think they have a real shot at this thing. they're going to throw every single thing at it they can, and republicans have to do the same. republicans and independents. plurality of americans today are independents. at the end of the day, they're going to want strong leadership, and the president has to attack the virus and the economic crisis. if he can convince americans he can do both of those, he'll win. if not, this could be a wipeout. lou: yeah, it could be, i guess, anything's possible, as they say. but i still think the american people are not fools. they want a president who is strong, they want a president who has intelligence and a demonstrated record. joe biden has none of that, and his -- [laughter] and it's interesting that the

former white house doctor suggested that joe biden has a cognitive problem. which every survey shows at least a third of americans think he's right, that joe biden has a real mental issue. >> he obviously had a chance to examine him. congressional candidate endorsed by the texas 13 -- in texas 13, good guy, retired admiral. the bottom line here is joe biden is just a name on the ballot. this is an anti-trump campaign by the left. they'll do everything they can to get him out of there, and he's got to fight back. joe biden, unless he stumbles on the stage in a debate, which is certainly a possibility if, is just going to be hidden as much as possible, and he won't talk about the programs he wants to put in. just assume everything left and bad, what the democrats want. lou: there isn't a weekend that goes by that something joe biden says isn't just, i mean, it looks like some sort of,

something run through a mixer verbally. if -- making no sense. he seems often to be incoherent. >> i think, obviously, he may very well be, but the bottom line, lou, you and a few others on fox tell that that story well. anything the president says or does gets highlighted, then amplified and lied about. so the reality is don't underestimate this race. it's going to be a tough, close race. lou: let me ask you about this, the lincoln project, so-called, which is a fancy name. they've said $3 million -- sent $3 million to a communications firm owned by a past treasurer. they're also doing business, it looks like they've got a lot of inside business going on. it look like they're doing very well with their project, but no one else seems to, it doesn't seem to add up here. what do you think? >> well, it's a small group of consultants who worked for romney and worked for mccain.

they're ex-republicans. they shouldn't be able to claim republican, they're not republican, but they're very effective inside the beltway. they're not effective across the country. the kind of buys they're making aren't big enough to have an impact, but it's an agitation. the president every day gets up and sees these ads. they're good operatives, but they're not going to be a factor. lou: yeah. ed rollins, always a factor. good to see you, my friend. thanks so much. ed rollins. up next, a sheriff from florida sends a warning to the lawless left and black lives matter in particular. organizations trying to destroy, well, at least much of our country if not the whole shooting match. sheriff daryl daniels joins us here next. stay with us, we're coming right back.

lou: breaking news now, the folks at "the washington post" running an op-ed. it's titled, quote: both namesakes of washington and lee university perpetrated racial terror. the schools should be renamed. again, this from the washington post. meanwhile, a town near youngstown, ohio, is now a sanctuary city for historical statues. [laughter] newton falls, ohio. its mayor says they'll put any statues that cities want to remove in a place of honor in

their town. our next guest is a sheriff who posted this facebook video about the lawless left. >> god is -- the media's message or black lives matter or any other group out there that's making themselves a spectacle, disrupting what we know to be our quality of life in this country. lou: well, joining us tonight is the man who had the guts to stand up and say those words. sheriff daryl daniels from clay county in florida. sheriff, it's an honor to talk with you and to talk with a sheriff who is concerned about god and the quality of life and this way of life in this country. why did you feel compelled to make the statement that you did? >> well, thanks forking is me, lou. a lot of -- for having me, lou. a lot of people are doing a lot of talking around this country, but that's just it, they're doing a lot of talking. in my world, leaders are

supposed to lead, and talking cheap. and we can march all day long, we can take knees all day long, but for me as a leader, that doesn't bring any resolution or any closure to any kind of problem as far as i'm concerned. and for the folks in my constituency, they look to me for answers and for peace and for some closure when it comes to problems being identified and bringing some solutions or recommendations for solutions not only for clay county, but across this country. when i look at the leadership or lack thereof, i see and hear a bunch of talking, a bunch of outward manifestations of frustrated people, but i don't see anybody doing anything fashionabling. we are faced here in clay county with an individual who thought this was going to be the county where he could bring outside folks -- he actually reached out to organizations like blm and dream defenders and thought that this would be the location to have such an event. well, you know, i draw a hard

line when it comes to a place where i lay my head. this is few home, the folks of this county are my friends and my constituents. these are the folks that i love and care for, and i will be jumped if i don't do all i can to protect these people. lou: yeah, i would have to think black lives matter would think long and hard before taking on leaders like you and others in clark county who will not just simply buy into a marxist mission statement and if a bunch of posturing rather than looking, as you say, at what are the actions and what are the results and what is the mission. i just want to share with our audience, i'm not going to read a all of this, but if we could put up that mission statement from black lives matter, because there are corporations and heads of corporations in this country that have written $10 million checks to this o. and i don't believe they -- to this organization. and i don't believe they know who they're sending money to.

and i'd like to realize that, if you could put up -- there it is. we are a collective of liberators who believe in an inclusive and spacious movement. we also believe in order to win and bring as many people with us a along the way, we must move beyond the narrow nationalism that is all too prevalent in black communities. we must insure we're building a movement that brings us all to the front. we are working for a world where black lives are no longer systematically are targeted for demise. a rallying cry for all black lives strive thing for liberation. we just had one of the most violent weekends in years in this country, and some of those deaths are attributable directly to black lives matter protests and demonstrations where people died. your thoughts. >> well, you know, we have a lot going on in this country, and again, i'll say folks are frustrated by what they perceive

to be individual problems. i'm not naive or my head is not buried in the sand to know that when i look in the mirror, i see a black life staring at me. but what's profoundly different about the folks who follow or ascribe to the ideologies of blm is the fact that black lives have been mattering for a long time. and we can't pick and choose when we want to jump on the bandwagon of blm when, just like you said, we had one of the most deadliest weekends in a long, long time in some of our large metropolitan cities. where's blm then? if why isn't in any outcry when things like this happen? why is it only isolated to an incident where a non-minority officer engages a minority with deadly force? that doesn't happen that frequently, and when it does happen, it's like all hell breaks loose as if it's the only thing that exists in this world. there are other things going on in society besides that.

and all lives matter in this. if all lives don't matter, then i should be out of this line of business because i took an oath to support, protect and defend the constitution and then we learned a code of ethics that spoke to as a law enforcement officer my fundamental duty is to serve mankind and protect life. not just black lives, all life and property. and when i take a hardline in the sand and say i'm going to protect the people of my constituency, then people go, wow, what's wrong with that guy? that's the oath that i swore to uphold, and that's what i'm going to do. lou: sheriff daryl daniels, we thank you for all that you do, and we appreciate you being with us tonight. hope you'll come back soon, because this is a conversation that's going to go on for a while, i do believe. up next, drugs at the border, extraordinary increase in the flow of drugs coming from canada. congressman andy biggs joins us

great to see you, congressman. and i want to, i want to listen to one of your former colleagues talking about our navy in the south china sea and the purpose. there's mark meadows, the chief of staff. >> the message is clear, we're not going to stand by and let china or anyone else take, take the reins in terms of being the most powerful, dominant force whether it's in that region or over here. lou: seems pretty clear, congressman. the trump administration means to pursue pressure on the chinese in the south china sea. >> yeah, that's right, lou. and i think, and it's tough to say this, but china's bellicosity has actually elevated to the point whether it's economic and militarily that they are no longer just an

economic competitor, they are a cold war adversary in a sense. and they, they've tried to take over the south china sea for at least 25 years. oural highs like taiwan, australia, new zealand, south korea, japan, none of them want to see china expand its sphere of influence throughout the south china sea i which is a little late because they already have. lou: yeah, exactly. because the chinese -- and, by the way, previous administrations did nothing -- >> right. lou: -- as the artificial islands were built, others taken over, air bases put into position. this is outrageous, and the united states and other nations are going to have a hell of an uphill job to reassert our strength in that region. this, your reaction to two destroyers -- u.s. aircraft

carriers and their strike forces in the south china sea. >> well, i think we're showing that we're till -- still very powerful, and we have to give that display of power. but the reality is we basically built the blue water navy, we gave the rocket telemetry and missile superiority that china's now claiming, we gave that to them. that started, as you recall, lou, nobody knows it better than you, back in the clinton add administration x. then we've allowed them to steal our intellectual property. we've basically been passive for decades, and the only one that was really talking about it was trump. lou: yeah. [laughter] and red storm rising has been going on for a quarter of a century. and even now i e hear people in the media, and i'm talking about democrats, radical dems, you

know, whomever, they are aligned more with the chinese. they're never trumpers, they're basically anti-american. and to hear how tepid and soft the most of our elected officials are on the issue of china as they are bringing a closed fist straight at our noses. >> yeah. lou, i'll tell you, if you can't learn anything from watching what's just happened in hong kong, then i don't want you anywhere near foreign policy for the united states of america. i mean, because what a they did to hong kong has basically violated every treaty agreement that they've made with the west on hong kong. and then you watch, and you're correct whether they've intimidated the philippines or vietnam or other claimants in the south china sea for literally decades. i don't want you near if our policy, because you don't really know what's going on in china.

china does not view themselves as a regional hegemon, they view themselves as a world dominant hegemon, and they're asserting themselves to get there. lou: and what do you think will be the policy going forward here, the phase one deal obviously is in jeopardy, it's not being fulfilled by the chinese with our military moving into the south china sea, this is are serious business. we have a defense department whose leadership basically, they don't want to talk about it. it's as if they don't discuss these two strike forces in the south china sea that they have less to worry about. i mean, it's bizarre when i'm watching esper, the defense secretary. >> well, yeah. i don't understand secretary esper. i think maybe he wants to be employed somewhere else and probably ought to be. but the reality is when you start looking, we're in these exercises there, and we've been doing these exercises there for

a long time. you go back to 2016, for instance, we've done them with japan there. we do that to remind folks that we do, we want to support our allies. but we're not getting the support from high-level dod folks including secretary esper. lou: congressman andy biggs, always good to talk with you. thanks so much. stay with us, we're coming right back. ♪ ♪
