7:00 pm
thanks for watching. join us tomorrow night. we hope you have a good evening. . you're doing a great job. see you tonight. "lou dobbs tonight" starts -- ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. the republican national convention tonight concludes with president trump formally accepting his party's nomination. president trump to focus heavily on his vision for america during his second term and how that compares to the radical ideas and plans of china joe biden and the radical dems. in excerpts of the president's speech, he says this, quote: at no time before have voters faced a clearer choice between two parties, two visions, two philosophies or two agendas. we have spent the last four years, the president says, reversing the damage joe biden
7:01 pm
inflicted over the last 47 years. president trump also says at the democratic convention you barely heard a word about their agenda but that's not because they don't is have one, it's because their agenda is the most extreme set of proposals ever put forward by a major party nominee. the republican national convention setting the perfect stage for president trump tonight to hit joe biden hard and the radical left's concerted efforts to fundamentally change the fabric of america. republicans have spent the last three days in a conversation with the american people reminding the country what makes america great, why it's worth preserving and protecting and fighting for. last night former director of national intelligence richard grenell laid out plainly how president trump always puts the interest of americans first. >> but donald trump, you always
7:02 pm
know exactly who is in charge. because the answer is you. you're in charge. not lobbyists, not special interests, not warmongers or china sympathizers or globalization that a gnattics. with donald trump -- fanatics. with donald trump and mike pence in the white house, the boss is the american people. president trump's rightly called his foreign policy america first. america first is simply the belief that politicians should focus on the equality and dignity of every american. and that this duty is fulfilled by promoting the safety wellness of the american people above all else. that's america first. lou: a number of prominent republican women also on the stage last night supporting president trump. most of them sharing personal stories about how he helped them
7:03 pm
at work, showed them great kindness. >> during one of my most difficult times, i expected to have the support of my family. but i had more support than i knew. finish as i came out of anesthesia, one of the first calls i received was from ivanka trump. as i recovered, my phone rang again. it was president trump calling to check on me. i was blown away. here was the leader of the free world caring about my circumstance. >> he picks the toughest fights and tackles them as complex problems. he has stood by me, and he will stand up for you. >> president trump will keep america safe. president trump keep america prosperous. president trump will keep america america. lou: a number of other speakers also targeting the radical dems
7:04 pm
and their policies, of course, policies that have failed black and other minority communities for decades. >> all over the country who media's trying to convince to conform to the same old democratic talking points. you know what that'll get you? the same old results. >> we have a democratic candidate for president who says that i'm not black i don't vote for him. now more than ever we need leaders who stand by their principles and won't compromise their values for political opportunities. >> are you going to allow the media to lie to you and ignore the so-called black lives matter organization that openly, on their web site, called for the destruction of the nuclear family? my fellow americans, our families need each other. we need black fathers in the homes with their wives and children. the future of our communities depend on it. lou: president trump's law and
7:05 pm
order message has been featured prominently throughout this week's convention. vice president pence amplified the message in his acceptance speech last night. >> last week joe biden didn't say one word about the violence and chaos engulfing cities across this country. so let me be clear, the violation must stop whether -- the violence must stop whether in minneapolis, portland or kenosha. [applause] too many heroes have died defending our freedom to see americans strike each other down. we will have law and order on the streets of this country for every american of every race and creed and color. [cheers and applause] lou: president trump to carry the message on law and order further tonight. his campaign also says he'll be talking about the left-wing violence that plagues democrat-run cities across
7:06 pm
america. a curfew today issued in minneapolis where looters ran through a number of downtown businesses last night. their looting sparked by the suicide of a suspected gunman. police were about to arrest him. they had nothing to do with his suicide. onlookers contributing to the chaos. the onlookers screamed the lie that police had shot the man. and as you would guess, people reacted. eleven people were arrested last night in portland, a nightly occurrence. police there declaring an unlawful assembly outside an immigration and customs enforcement building during what was the city's 91st consecutive night of unrest. portland having to deal with left-wing activists and an anarchists despite being able to respond to those calls because the police force there are record retirements, a lack of
7:07 pm
resources, and police officers are simply exhausted. here is the city's police chief describing the challenges his department faces every day. >> i've seen as many as 80 calls holdingment we've had calls holding upwards of, you know, 20-something hours depending on the staffing. you get a shooting or something that requires a lot of resources, there's just no one to go sometimes. august has been a busy month as far as retirements too. we'll have over 50 people who will have retired in the month of august as well, and those are, you know, veteran officers who are and able to take calls and do investigations. so is, i mean, we're a lean agency. lou: lean is one word for it. it is an exhausted agency, and it has been held back from many of its duties by portland's radical dem left-wing mayor ted wheeler who has become an absurdity and caricature across
7:08 pm
the country. he once tried to show solidarity with the left-wing mob that has plagued his city for months. he is now, now after 91 days of rioting, looting, murder as well, he is calling on his community to rise up in support of peaceful assembly, to stand up against nightly violence and destruction. this is the mayor who has enabled and has actually supported the violence that has overwhelmed portland, oregon. and by the way, in my opinion, shame on the people of portland for putting up with this disaster. the price is only now beginning to be obvious to your elected officials. what a shame. well, there's no word on how mayor wheeler expects the community to rise up. the city's district attorney says he won't be prosecuting any
7:09 pm
rioters or looters or vandals. and in can kenosha, wisconsin, left-wing violence there, well, it was slowed down last night by the presence of national guardsmen and more than 200 federal agents dispatched by president trump. president trump allowing residents and business owners for one night to take time to assess the damage, the awful damage done by the rioters and vandals. violence erupted in that city over the police shooting of jacob blake, but facts now are emerging. and among those facts, blake's admission, blake's admission that he had a knife in his possession as he walked to the car before he resisted arrest can and and tried to -- arrest and tried to reach for, presumably, that knife. we'll find out later. police found the knife in blake's car. the left-wing national media is, of course, trying to do its very
7:10 pm
level worst to portray violence in these cities as nothing but peaceful protest, as absurd as that sounds. in the early hours of tuesday morning, cnn ran this banner across these pictures. fiery but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting. can you get much more ignorant than that? fires burning behind the reporter and on the same night that a teenager shot and killed at least two people. msnbc trying to rebuke south dakota governor kristy noem last night. rachel maddow used seattle mayor jenny during can of all people to refute the claim. she is the same radical dem leader who described a so-called autonomous zone that had been taken over by black lives matter and anarchists in her city as,
7:11 pm

biolab facility in that town. emergency alerts advised nearby residents to shelter in place. >> despite the heat that they're experiencing, shelter at home urn those circumstances -- under those circumstances means they need to be on the inside of their home with the doors and windows closed and the air-conditioning off if they're lucky enough to have electricity. >> plant is near the city of lake charles which recorded state winds with of 98 mile-per-hour and a 132 mile-per-hour gust as the eye wall tore through the community. it caused extensive damage to homes and businesses there in lake charles. lou, back to you. lou: jonathan, thank you very much. jonathan serrie from lafayette, louisiana. another record-setting day on wall street. the s&p had a new record high close, up 6 points on the day, its 19th record this year. the dow up 160. the averages now are positive

7:19 pm
quote: he was a direct rebuke of actions by people including black athletes who are currently sitting out games protesting police brutality. joe biden today on msnbc seemed, well, confused about how race relations played out while he was in the white house. >> the last four years we weren't having racial riots. when they occurred, we didn't have to call on the national -- we protected federal property without hurting people. we moved in the direction that made sense. we -- and we had, we worked with police in dealing with -- look, the vast majority of police are decent and honorable women and men. but we have to deal with the real problems that exist out there and take them on. lou: the former vice president forgot something called ferguson amongst other things. in 2014 riots destroyed parts of that city after the fatal police shooting of michael brown.
7:20 pm
missouri's governor called in the national guard to restore peace. riots occurred after a grand jury decided not to charge the police officer involved in the shooting. you'll also remember 20 a 15 riots perhaps in baltimore. the vice president obviously does not. those over the death of freddie gray while in police custody. 20 police officers were injured during those riots, hundreds of businesses destroyed. the national guard also was called in to quell the riots. the american people agree that race relations crashed in the last four years of obama and biden. in january 2012, 62% of americans viewed race relations as generally good. in may of 2016, that number plummeted all the way to 44%. joining us tonight, republican national committee chair ronna mcdaniel. ronna, great to have you with us, and congratulations on what has been an extraordinary
7:21 pm
convention, i will say. the opening day of your convention was the best i have seen in, and i started watching pretty carefully back in 1976, so good work. your feelings about it's going and what we should expect tonight. >> well, i think what we achieved with our convention exactly what we wanted to which is we wanted to tell the stories of the policies of the trump administration through the eyes of the american people and how it has benefited them personally. and give a narrative of their stories. a business owner where the ppp loan helped her or the right to try -- or a lobsterman from maine or a dairy farmer from wisconsin. and these are people in their own words saying we are so much better off because of president trump. and we know that these are people who have been forgotten by the democrat party. so while they had hollywood
7:22 pm
celebrities and elites, we are the party of the real american people, and president trump going to continue that message tonight as he delivers his address and accepts the nomination for president of the united states from the republican party. lou: sharing the limelight tonight will be mitch mcconnell, and he will be standing, as it were, with the president. one hopes more than just simply optically. this is now president trump's party whether mitch mcconnell or any of the other rinos understand it, like it. it really doesn't matter. i would is have to assume that it concerns you deeply that a splintered party between the rin os of the senate and the rinos of the house are going to create problems going into november 3rd. more like will hi for them and
7:23 pm
not for the president. your thoughts about that as we await the president's acceptance speech tonight. >> i think the president has the most support among the voters of the republican party than any president in history. i see it when i'm with him, when i'm in wisconsin where i was with him last week or florida or texas. i've never seen anything like it, lou. even in new york. the party is 100% behind president trump. so the ones that aren't with him, these angry few, they're not republicans anymore. let's start there. and number two, the media gives them outsized attention. they're nobodies. nobody wants to hear from them anymore. but the people of this country love this president, and he has expanded our party. it's not just republicans anymore. it's independents. i heard a democrat call in to c-span this week, he said i'm leaving the democrat party, and i'm voting for president trump. he has expanded our party because he cares about real
7:24 pm
people and their problems, and he is fighting for them every single day. lou: and the influence of the chamber of commerce which has abandoned any pretense whatsoever, tom donohue, its leader, has gone absolutely mad with power and has gotten so big for his britches that there is no containing him. but i understand reliably that he is not receiving as much money. the donors of the chamber of commerce are running from them and abandoning the chamber of commerce. and, ronna, i can't even imagine why a small business in this country, 3 million of them, would even come close to supporting what the chamber of commerce has become, the biggest business lobby in the country and all they're working for are globalist corporations, u.s. multi-nationals and wall street. it's a defining moment for the
7:25 pm
republican party. you're now the party of the american worker, the american family and the hell with tom donohue. that a fair statement? [laughter] >> well, i'll also say we're the party of jobs. and because of the ppp loans that president trump put forward, it kept so many small businesses in place. i talked to somebody last week in michigan who said i would have have gone under. my business was going to go under. this business i had built from scratch, and because of the ppp loan, i was able to stay in business. and because of how much i'm so thankful to president trump, i'm about to open three more restaurants. this is what this president is, he's the jobs president. he's the people's president. he is the fighter, he is the trade president, the veterans' president. he's the health care president. he has come to washington, and he has said i am done with the swamp and the bureaucracy and the people who say no, and we are going to change the system, and that is why he needs four more years, because we have got
7:26 pm
to weed out the people who are here for their own power and not for the benefit of the people they are elected to represent. lou: ronna mcdaniel, powerhouse leader of the republican national committee, good to have you with us. thank you so much and good luck. we'd like the hear your thoughts on all of this. share your comments. follow me on twitter @loudobbs like me on facebook, follow me on instagram @loudobbs tonight. a programming note, victor davis hanson, pastor robert jeffress among our guests here tomorrow. please join us for that. and stay with us for much more tonight, support for mass protests disintegrates in wisconsin. this is becoming a huge backlash against the radical dems. we take it up next. stay withhhh [ thunder rumbles ] [ engine rumbling ]

7:32 pm
michael goodwin. ed, let's start with you, and what does the president need toot -- to do to close the deal on what has been an extraordinary week of republican and convention? >> well, i think he absolutely will close the deal. i think he's going the give an extraordinary speech. he's prepared for it. he gave a great speech at mount rushmore, that kind of a speech. the vice president gave a great speech last night and laid it all out. it's a very different america. views of democrats and views of republicans, and i think this week clearly showed that difference. and i think the country in a very well-produced convention with ordinary people got the story told very effectively. the president just will cap that ponte, make the final sale. -- that tonight, make the final sale. lou: you mentioned the vice president. he and his wife karen pence absolutely eloquent last evening, terrific and such

7:34 pm
conventions. lou: let me ask you -- i agree with you, by the way, michael. but let me ask you this. biden, meanwhile, is in the basement, comes out for a short period to do an interview. he looked dazed for much of it. this is not going to be helpful, the counterpoint between what anyone saw of the vice president today and what they will see of president trump on that stage tonight. >> i agree with you, lou. and i think that the democrats are beginning to panic. even cnn now saying you've got, don lemon, you've got to stop the riots. it's hurting -- it's showing up in polls. not that riots are bad, they're only bad when they hurt your candidate. lou: yeah. >> that is the great contrast right now between the parties, and i think the democrats are finally waking up to that. but it may be too late because they have clearly embraced this black lives matter movement, and
7:35 pm
how do you separate yourself from it and keep that coalition intact? lou: yeah. the radical dems, ed, is are chosen to campaign against mesh, they've chosen to campaign against americans and all that we are. have they made a fatal mistake? >> i think so. they made -- he had two interviews, the easiest, andrea mitchell and anderson cooper who both love hum, he couldn't carry the ball. kamala harris will basically be the point person, i think, the rest of the campaign and try to indict the president on these issues and fail and fail miserably. she's the most liberal member of congress. that's going to be the campaign, it's going to be her against him, and the bottom line is the country's going make the right decision and give him four more years, i think. lou: astonishing that biden would even think he could prevail from a basement. ed rollins, good to have you with us. michael goodwin, thank you, gentlemen. up next, china warns europe

not in the pentagon's budget the two or three yearsing ago, it belongs there now. these missiles can be hot down. china knows very clearly we don't have the missile defense in place yet. lou: why not? why not? why would we not? it's a u.s. territory. why would we not? >> if you walk down the halls of the pentagon with me, hugh, into the china office, you're going to see the same faces you saw under biden and obama. we've got to have personnel changes on china before new steps can be taken, it's that simple. lou: what do we do, dr. michael pistolling bury? what do we do? >> there's a checklist the president's got. i believe him when he tell the me and others there's more to come. he's not finished yet. he's had huge successes so far, lou, but there's plenty mored to do, and the president says he's going to do it. lou: do you think that'll be

and silenced the many brave intelligence officials who spoke up against it. they prepresented bogus information as facts. they lied to judges. then they classified anything that undermined their case. lou: former dni ric grenell. former ambassador, acting dni ric grenell on obamagate during last night's convention speech. one of the major players in the effort to overthrow the president, james comey, is downplaying the conviction of former fbi attorney kevin clinesmith. comey says he can't imagine why clinesmith would falsify documents and that he was merely a junior lawyer. to take all of this up, a man who knows, just the news editor-in-chief, john solomon, author of "fallout."

let's start with mr. comey, john, and why has senator graham waited so long to bring him forward? he put out a cute invitation by twitter, as you know, to comey. with we know what he has done. we know his role in it. it's public knowledge. and no one is acting against him. what is going on? >> when you hear james comey's most recent words, just remember this, james comey hasn't been right about anything. he was wrong when he declared that hillary clinton shouldn't face criminal charges instead of letting the justice department do that. he was wrong hen when he stole the memos from the fbi and leaked them to the media. he was wrong when he signed his name to a nice a warrant claiming that it was accurate and verified when it was anything but verified and it was inaccurate. and he's wrong about clinesmith. this lawyer wasn't junior, he was one of the key players in

the entire process of vetting, preparing the fisas. james comey can't get his story straight, maybe that's why it's not even worth bringing him to congress. he hasn't told the truth in the past, he probably won't tell the truth in the present. there are more important witnesses that i wish senator graham would be calling, people like bill priestap, find out if they were instructed to lie, to obfuscate, to falsify evidence. somebody was directing this, and it's about time senator graham asked those people who did it. lou: and priestap, i don't know how you feel about this, but perhaps the four others who briefed the intelligence committee. we're at a strange point here, john. this is, if the doj is not going to go after these cases, not going to go after these people, it seems to me that just because

apparently they think they can't win in a left-wing d.c. court that presumably would be one of the excuses, what are we going to do? how do you punish people who perpetrated the greatest crime against this government in the history of the republic? t not just simply the worst political scandal, this is a crime against the nation. >> it was. lou: what do we do? we can't just -- >> yeah. i still think that you're going to see more accountability from john durham, and i think you will see some more criminal charges. i know they're building towards that. whether they can deliver, we'll see. it doesn't matter until a grand jury hands out the indictments, but they're move anything that direction. i was struck by something that ric grenell said last night that you just played in that great clip. he said they silenced the people who were objecting to what they were doing. i think there are a group of witnesses we have not heard about.
7:54 pm
intelligence analysts and others whose story has been stifled by the deep state for the last three or four years that this fall we will hear from, we will find out that people were objecting to what john brennan was doing, what peter strzok was doing, what james comey was doing. that is going to be a watershed moment. and then there are law licenses of people who can be pulled. many of these fbi guys are lawyers as well. take their livelihood away from them. those are all options that are on the table, and i wouldn't be surprised if they're pursued soon. lou: yeah. there are two things that occur to me. one of them that the president has the final authority to declassify all of the documents to which ric grenell referred last night. i was struck by that when he mentioned it. and secondly, the idea that there is an entire agency that presumably has all of these documents at its command, and that's the national security, the nsa.

this is an agency where i would hope there is a repository of federal employees serving this nation who would have the courage and the confidence and the patriotism to stand up and tell us what they know -- >> you're right. lou: because this is outrageous. top officials would be preferable, certainly, because they at least could hold their own against the deep state. it's a lot to ask, but we have to ask this of someone, do we not? >> i agree with you, lou. listen, the nsa has a repository record of every fbi agent, what they looked at, who was unmasked. i think the president should declassify that. let us know who they were snooping on and when. lou: amen, brother. thanks so much, john, as always. good to have you with us. john solomon, the country's leading investigative reporter. justthenews.com. before we go, my new book, "trump century," available for
