5:01 pm
the e-mails were placed on a backed-up hard drive by the computer repair shop's owner. in those e-mails hunter biden sends messages to executives of china's largest private energy provider cfc. those show that hunter biden struck a three-year deal with the chinese firm for $30 million in 207. and according to the -- 2017. and according to the e-mails, hunter biden was to be paid $10 million a year for his, quote, consulting fees based on introductions alone. hunter's e-mails suggest the deal had been sweetened, however, as the chairman changed that deal to a much more lasting and lucrative arrangement. hunter biden says that sweetened deal was so much more interesting to me and my family, ebb end quote. -- end quote. the documents released today and
5:02 pm
reported on again by "the new york post" also show that biden was paid a million dollar retainer by the chinese energy company to be counselor on matters related to u.s. law. in an unspecified business venture that hunter biden was planning, he also sought payment packages for six orr people. an e-mail from may 13, 2017, appears to show biden was to hold a 10% equity stake in that venture for, quote, the big guy. an a apparent reference to the former vice president, joe biden. now running for president of the united united states, of course. during a virtual fundraiser this afternoon, joe biden did not specifically mention the story, nor did he deny it. joe biden did say this about president trump, however. quote: we have 19 days left, and, you know, he's going to throw everything but the kitchen sink at me.
5:03 pm
the biden family's ties to china have been well documented. we know that in december of 2013 hunter biden flew with his father aboard air force two to beijing. hunter admittedly met with chinese businessmen during the trip despite having absolutely no experience nor ec expertise n chinese business or investment in china. ten days after that trip hunter biden uncled a deal with the -- inked a deal with the state-owned bank of china and reportedly created a billion dollar investment fund. president trump at a rally in greenville, north carolina, today reacting to the news about hunter biden and his deals in china. the president says this year's election is now about a national security risk. >> a new story shows up that hunter made a deal with a wealthy chinese business magnate for $10 million a year for introductions only,
5:04 pm
introductions. hunter also referred to another more lasting and lucrative arrangement with the same chinese businessmen that would be so much more interesting to me and my family, that's e what he said. that's a quote. these deals were made at the same time joe biden was letting china steal your jobs and take away your fact ilys. if -- factories. if biden is elected, the united states will be are owned by china. lou: these damaging reports about joe biden and his family are not being seen in their entirety by all of the american people. the big tech oligarchs running twitter and facebook censoring this critically important story broken by the new post, one of the country's largest newspapers, one of the oldest newspapers in this country. indeed, the tech titans and
5:05 pm
social media socialists have blocked the president's campaign, his cabinet members and remoneys in congress -- republicans in congress from sharing "the new york post" reporting. jack dorsey, ceo of twitter, mark zuckerberg, ceo of, well, facebook has made it clear to all that they mean to decide the outcome of this election, and they will do so by silencing anyone or any media outlet that threatens their chosen candidate, joe biden. their censorship comes just weeks after executives of both facebook and twitter joined the biden transition team. twitter's public policy director, carlos, recently heft the social media company to join the biden team. can you believe this? former facebook executive jessica hurt also join ared biden's transition team this

month as its general counsel to oversee ethical issues. big tech has a history of supporting the radical dems. nothing makes the relationship with the left any more vivid than in this picture from 2011. and, yes, that is president obama in the center of the assembled tech titans. it's almost a secret society that you're watching there of silicon valley executives dining with the former president. in this photo you see to the left of the president at that time steve jobs, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg to husband right, apple's former ceo, steve jobs. netflix founder reed hastings, former twitter ceo dick costello e and oracle ceo, cofounder larry ellison and many others. senate republicans today
5:07 pm
apparently have finally had enough of big tech's authoritarianism. they say they're done with their left-wing bias and want them hauled in to the senate to answer questions. for the latest we turn now to edward lawrence from washington. ed. >> reporter: well, lou, the story has exploded from accusations against hunter biden and former vice president joe biden to censorship by big tech companies. this all stems from a series of new york post stories. the first one alleges that e-mails show hunter biden introduced his dad to a ukrainian energy executive linked to burisma. the former vice president had maintained that he never met his son's business associates while in office. the second story alleges hunter worked out a deal with a chinese businessman with ties to the chinese military after traveling to china on air force two with his father. facebook limited exposure to both stories because of concerns over sourcing.
5:08 pm
twitter blocked both stories and suspended accounts of "the new york post," the personal county of kayleigh mcenany, white house press secretary, and the official trump presidential campaign account. now, twitter says the account may be required to delete those tweets based on our policies on hacked materials and private and personal information. senator tom cotton saws this is a double standard. >> the department of justice is looking carefully at antitrust lawsuits against some of these companies. all options will be on the table now that that these big tech oligarchs have declared open war on the republican party and conservatives across america. >> reporter: cotton now saying republicans will not stop democrats' efforts to break up the big tech companies. in fact, the president saying today he wants to remove the immunity these companies enjoy. >> and if big tech persists in coordination with the mainstream media, we must immediately strip them of their section 230 protections. [cheers and applause]
5:09 pm
okay? >> reporter: senator ted cruz says the judiciary committee will subpoena twitter ceo jack dorsey for a hearing on october 23rd to answer the censorship charges. back to you, lou. lou: ed, thank you very much. edward lawrence reporting from washington. we'll have much more on all of this in tonight's show. joining us tonight, senator ron johnson who is leading an investigation, jason chaffetz, fred fleitz, former cia, sidney powell, general mike flynn's defense attorney. all joining us in this broadcast to assess what is happening with the biden family, its campaign and just how much damage has this expose from the new york post done to the campaign. well, we'll be taking that up. and president trump and joe biden tonight each competing in town hall events at the same time. the president will be on comcast

5:11 pm
steve scully just admitted he was lying about his twitter being hacked. the dedebate was rigged. he was suspended from c-span indefinitely. the trump campaign was not treated fairly i by the, quote-unquote, commission. did i show good instincts in being the first to know? no, not really, mr. president. you showed great judgment. finish. up next, rudy giuliani reveals a very telling text from hunter biden. we take that up and more on the biden corruption scandal. senator ron johnson joins us. and i want to thank everyone who's made my new book a national bestseller.

hunter biden was forced to give half of his salary to his father, china joe. the text states this, quote: butten i don't receive any respect, and that's fine, i guess. works for you, apparently. i hope you all can do what i did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years. it's really hard but don't worry. unlike pop, joe biden, i won't make you give me half your salary, end quote. we'll have much more on this with senator ron johnson, our upcoming text. and tomorrow rudy giuliani joins us the talk about this trail from the discovery of the laptop to the texts and e-mail messages to where we are now with the expose by the new york post. and joining us now, senator ron johnson. he is chairman of the senate
5:17 pm
homeland security and governmental affairs committee who released the report on the biden family corruption last month. senator, it's great to have you with us. there is a story that is building that is almost as large as the, what appears to be these entirely credible revelations on the laptop computer, and that is the meddling in a presidential campaign by big tech and social media in silicon valley. i want to start, of course, with the reporting by "the new york post" of what is clearly, if true, clearly a tale of corruption on the part of the biden family. you're investigating, and where are you now, senator, if i may ask? >> hello, lou. well, let's face it, we issued our report on september 23rd, 87 pages.
5:18 pm
the mainstream media largely ignored it. they said, well, nothing illegal here. first of all, it's not my job to determine legality or illegality. our job as congress is to do oversight, gather information, to inform public opinion but also to inform the public. and really from our standpoint we thought we'd provided an awful lot of information that was quite troubling of hunter biden's, you know, trading in the biden name. $4.2 million from burisma and ukraine, $3.5 million from the now-deceased former mayor of moscow's wife, a vast web of connections with nationals that had connections with the people's liberation army. but the mainstream media just yawned. we were contacted by the same whistleblower the day after we issued our report. we spoke with the whistle blower, we've been doing our due
5:19 pm
diligence trying to validate the claims. obviously, the whistleblower also approached others, and the new york post apparently satisfied themselves on the validity of these things. and i have to saw, lou, the lack of denial if biden, the fact that the only thing that he's really denying is that this meeting between the number third person in power in burisma and the vice president didn't show up in his official schedule, i guess that wouldn't be particularly surprising. but i think the lack of denial in terms of the validity of these other e-mails, i think, speaks volumes. lou: it does. and many terms of burisma -- in terms of burisma, there are photographs of the vice president, hunter biden with a burisma official. again, the e-mails can be interpreted, i suppose,s but an even fairer interpretation is that that number three person in the burisma hierarchy was thanking hunter biden for the
5:20 pm
meeting that had, it appears to convey, already occurred. the level of money that is being talked about in these e-mails goes beyond anything we had really known previously. a $30 million deal with china, the private energy firm, the largest private energy firm in china. a $30 million deal that suddenly expanded for whatever reason to $10 million a year for a longer number of years -- it's entirely unclear to me how long that agreement was for. this is very significant given this is at the same time biden was, joe biden was in the vice presidency, he was the man embracing communist china. he was at the same time tamping down any suggestion that
5:21 pm
outsourcing was a bad idea, that offshoring was a bad idea or that anyone should be concerned, don't worry your pretty heads about the geopolitical competition with china. perhaps a competitor but certainly never a rival or potentially an enemy. your thoughts about what we're seeing here and the import and your judgment of the credibility of what we're seeing here. >> well, again, what we already know that we've already verified that we reveal in our report, i've stated publicly i thought that information alone made joe biden unfit to be president. he never, ever should have run for president, but he did. again, what is now being revealed, we need to verify it, you know, we need to validate it. and i think over the next few days just new the crowd sourcing as people start connecting the dots, people that had been on the other side of some of these mail exchanges as they either
5:22 pm
confirm or deny that these are true e-mails, we're going to get a pretty good sense. but what we already know, what's already been verified is already incredibly troubling and shows the level of conflict of interest, counterintelligence, exe torsion threats -- extortion threats that would be possible because of these glaring conflict of interest in the things that we already know hunter biden and his business partners and other members of the biden family engaged in. but, again, the media has just looked the other way. it amazes me. they justified all the investigations of president trump because of the potential blackmail, the relationships between the trump family and other people might have. well, we have evidence of far greater financial entanglements between the bidens and the biden family. lou, the blackmail potential of that. i hope the american public is paying attention. i hope the mainstream media finally starts taking a look at this and investigating it and asking some very serious
5:23 pm
questions of the vice president which he needs to answer. those should be asked tonight the at his e town hall. lou: absolutely. you say the national left-wing media is ignoring it. senator, if i may offer a counter view, that is the left-wing national media in this country, that is corporate media; comcast's nbc, at&t's cnn, walt disney's abc news. they are working hand in glove of with the democratic party and the deep state, conspiring to overthrow the president of the united states over the course of the past four years. and for that, they all will have to account, and we thank you for being one of those leading the investigation and, hopefully, leading to justice in the resolution of it all. senator, thanks for being with us. we appreciate everything you're doing. senator ron johnson.
5:24 pm
the "lou dobbs tonight" quote of the day is from new york post columnist mirandaty sign on how big tech is in the tank for joe. make no mistake, this is election interference by unaccountable global tech oligarchs to restrict information that might damage the democratic party. it is coordinated censorship by two of the largest multi-national companies in the world. their monopoly power should be broken up once and for all. up next, the department of justice refuses to charge anyone involved in the unmaasing of general michael flynn. his attorney, sidney powell, with us on how it seems inpossible to win justice if you are a republican.
5:28 pm
tools, cattle, grain, even shells represented value. then currency came along. they made it out of copper, gold, silver, wampum. soon people decided to put all that value into a piece of paper, then proceeded to wave goodbye to value, printing unlimited amounts of money as they passed the buck to the future. that's why it's time for digital currency and your investment in the grayscale funds. go digital. go grayscale.
5:29 pm
lou: well, breaking news now, you may recall that senator ben sasse who occasionally can be just more than a little pompous this week was lecturing his colleagues in the senate in the judiciary committee about civics. he was calling for a civil debate, something a little more elevated than what we are witnessing each time we see the judiciary committee at work. well, senator sasse, he didn't take his own lesson. here's his idea of civics. in a call he had with constituents, sasse cede the president of the united states -- said the president of the united states has sold out our allies, said he trash talks evangelicals behind their backs and claimed president trump could permanently damage the republican party. he couldn't possibly, possibly damage the republican party more
5:30 pm
than this rino excuse for a senator, let me guarantee you. he is a pompous, complete tool and a rino to boot. so good luck, nebraska, and thanks for sending him to the swamp. he's at least in good company. joining us tonight is sidney powell. she is defense attorney for general michael flynn. and, sidney, it's great to have you with us, and i hope you've got some good news for us. emmet sullivan has relented, he has decided to do the right thing, the d.c. appellate court has said, you know, we can't possibly endure any more of this rampant disregard for law and speed duh justice in this country, so we want to end the 4-year possessor cueing of an innocent -- persecution of an innocent man. is that what happened? >> not yet, lou. [laughter] it's been 160 days since the
5:31 pm
government moved to dismiss the case against michael flynn. it's been 45 days since the d.c. circuit told judge sullivan to act with appropriate dispatch if, and it's been 15 or 16 days now since the, quote, hearing in his court, end quote. and we still have heard nothing from the court on our, on the government's motion to dismiss or my disqualification motion which, of course, i expect him to deny. lou: and so the farce goes on. this is, this is political theater, but it's the political theater of 1960s era soviet show trials. this is preposterous, it is rank political corruption, it's indecency, and it is inhumane. it is everything this country abhors and forbids in its constitution. how can this be happening to an
5:32 pm
american citizen in broad damn daylight courtesy of a corrupt federal judicial system and, specifically, one federal district court judge? >> and the d.c. circuit is as much at fault too, lou, because eight of the judges sent it back to him to do exactly this, ignoring the need for disqualification because he himself was a party, made himself a party, essentially, by affirmative lu seeking rehearing. -- affirmatively seeking rehearing. [inaudible conversations] lou: i meant to include when i said the federal judicial system, but i'll be specific. the d.c. court of appeals are a bunch of corrupt, politically corrupt rats like so many in the federal judicial system. they're just as bad as the politically corrupt fbi. and, by the way, i no longer
5:33 pm
refer just simply to the top of the fbi or the top of the justice department. for there not to have been someone step forward from the rank and file of the fbi to straighten out what is clearly a gross, gross violation of constitutional rights, so many, is sickening to me. and i want to get your idea of just what's going on. we look at what is, "the new york post" is reporting, the conduct of the former vice president, the conduct of his son, the rampant corruption that is ignored while they attack their political enemies. they being the fbi, the d. of justice, the federal -- the department of justice, the federal district courts who behave like they're in third world countries. this is sick isenning to the american people. and, by the way, i think people have got a pretty good idea that the only thing standing between them, them and this rotten, toxic, corrupt political
5:34 pm
structure called a judiciary is donald trump. your thoughts. >> well, that's exactly right. and we must reelect him to give him a term in which he can really start cleaning out the swamp, because he was deproved of all that in his -- deprived of all that in his first term because of all the fraudulent investigations against him when they should have been prosecuting the biden family, the clinton family and everybody who was actually lining their own pockets from all these nefarious globalist deals they've been making behind the backs of the american public while they've been selling out american interest to the foreigners that have been pawing them. paying them. lou: and what should we do, turning to, across the country to silicon valley, big tech, social media titans deciding that they're going to decide this election, shutting down one to have country's oldest newspapers if not the oldest
5:35 pm
functioning newspaper, one of the largest newspapers in this country? what should this president do? i mean, this is outrageous. >> well, ajit pai with the fcc just put out a statement that he's going to to engage in rulemaking because they're reading section 230 too broadly. congress is supposed to be working on that. but, of course, they're not making any progress. the president and the department of justice should be -- well, the department of justice in particular should be looking at both antitrust violations and election contributions because they've contributed millions if not billions of dollars worth of improper campaign contributions to the biden campaign by shutting down the opposition. lou: yeah. we just reported that facebook and twitter both had topicstives move other to the biden transition team just days and weeks before deciding that they would stand up -- they being twitter and facebook -- and shut down america's right to know and
5:36 pm
a free press. not in the hands of jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg. sidney powell, thanks for being with us, as always. good to see you. up next, the trump campaign says china joe has a lot to answer for. we'll take up a few of those questions with former congressman jason chaffetz. stay with us, we're coming right back. on a formula only found in preservision. if it were my vision, i'd ask my doctor about preservision. it's the most studied eye vitamin brand. if it were my vision, i'd look into preservision. only preservision areds2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the nei to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. i have amd. it is my vision so my plan includes preservision.

lou: the "lou dobbs tonight" quotation of the day is from my book, "the trump century," about the silicon valley executives we're reporting on tonight. in the book i wrote, quote: this would be of less concern if the big tech platforms were impersonal, monolithic and neutral, if they strived to be objective, passionless and nonjudgmental in hosting all comers and welcoming all matter of opinions. but they take the opposite tack. the point i was making, bug tech is partisan -- big tech is partisan in every way. they are anti-trump, anti-democratic as they are proving now in their censorship of new york post reporting, new york post exposes of biden corruption and they censor the president of the united states, his campaign and his press secretary. that is outright un-american, and there should be consequences because the tech titans, the social media despots are
5:41 pm
totalitarian. and totalitarianism the "lou dobbs tonight" word of the day. it means centralized control by an autocratic authority. and that is exactly what silicon valley has become. joining us tonight, former congressman, former chairman of the house oversight committee, jason chaffetz. also fox business contributor. and, jason, great to have you with us. let's start with this report, the biden corruption by "the new york post," which it's extraordinary the depths of these, of what is the obvious corruption these e-mails reveal. your thoughts about biden, joe biden and his character to be president of the united states. >> these revelations are truly stunning. i mean, your head's on a swivel because there's money flowing into the biden family from
5:42 pm
ukraine, from russia, from china. they're documented. this is so different than the allegations against donald trump. i remember when "time" magazine ran a cover story of donald trump jr. caught red handed, ends up it was a 20-minute meeting that meant nothing, they had to have a mueller investigation, two years, there was no, nothing about anything, and yet they put him on the cover of "time" magazine. here you have a senate report, you have money flowing, you have e-mail documentation, and the media's absolutely silent. but i've got to tell you, congress -- because the senate is in republican hands -- it better get their butt in gear. they should be calling in the department of justice to understand why they haven't been acting on this because they're had this information for five or six months. i think the foreign relations committee should be in action bringing in the two astronaut department employees -- state department employees who complained to the white house about the relationship that hunter biden had. i don't know why the senate foreign relations committee had to yank those state -- hasn't
5:43 pm
yanked those astronaut department yahoos up there and said what the crap going on? that could happen, and it could be done by friday if they would get their butt in gear. lou: well, it's -- [laughter] meanwhile, there's great angst in the u.s. senate today because of what twitter did in blocking the president, his police secretary, his campaign. it's outrageous what twitter has done. it's outrageous what zuckerberg and facebook have done. but at the same time, the outrage is -- you talk about going over to the state department. why the hell isn't secretary of state pompeo grabbing these idiots by the nape of the neck and taking control? attorney general barr is walking around like a man who's lost his map through the corridors of the department of justice. this is outrageous, it's disgusting. the president says he's not happy. well, i will describe my own
5:44 pm
mood, and i think probably many, many other americans'. we've had a belly full of i'm gonna, i wanna, i should have. we'd like to see somebody do some damn thing to make sure this republic doesn't collapse in a heap around these toxic, corrupt politicianings. don't you think that would be appropriate? >> yes. and, again, if the material was out there, this gentleman has the computer, he turns it over to federal bureau of investigation, but that was something like in the may time frame. so it's been out there. there is no reason why senator graham or somebody else there on the judiciary committee can't bring up the fbi -- here we are again, director wray doing nothing -- and going back and understanding from attorney general barr and director wray what are they doing? because it appears as if they're doing nothing. and that's the role of congress. that's the role of the senate, is to go after and make sure
5:45 pm
that these things are happening. but, again, you have the senate finance -- or not senate finance, but you have homeland security that could look into this, ron johnson, i think has been doing oweman's work trying to get this out. he's the hero in this type of thing. lou: absolutely. >> and one other point i want to point out though is i do believe that there is exposure to facebook and twitter and others from the ftc. the federal trade commission. because i think they have been selling to the american people access, they've been taking their personal information, monetizing it, creating value for their companies out of it. jack dorsey, making him a billionaire, and they've done so by creating a platform that is lying to its users about its exposure, its friends, the people you can forward to and the material that you can access. that's where i think there should be some civil suits going. lou: i think you're exactly right, and i think the ftc and
5:46 pm
the department of justice should be working together right now to bust these fools up. because i've had enough of oligarchs in america. the game is over. this is america, this is not some cheap third world, you know, joke of a country. no, sir. we're an industrialized joke of a country right now. jason chaffetz, thanks so much. i appreciate it. we'll be right back with more on the biden family corruption. we'll take it up with national security expert, former cia fred fleitz. and you can buy my new book, it's called "the trump century." it's a beautiful thing, and it's available now at loudobbsshop.com. also very beautiful. stay with us, we'll be coming right back. before nexium 24hr,
