tv   Lou Dobbs Tonight  FOX Business  February 5, 2021 5:00pm-6:00pm EST

5:00 pm
ashley webster woulds the forrest gump of fox business , once he gets running he never stops, ashley webster, thank you very much. ashley: have a good one. connell: thanks for watching us, everybody today and every day i'm connell mcshane in new york, have a great echosystem would end we'll see you monday. david: good evening, everybody. i'm david asman filling in for the vacationing lou dobbs. president joe biden today sound ing a dark note on the future of the american economy, a weaker than expected jobs report showing 49,000 jobs added in december, less than expected and only 6,000 in the private sector, and an unemployment rate at 6.3%. now president biden came into office, promising to compromise with just 16 days into his presidency, biden has ditched his calls for unity with the republicans. instead, dispatching vice president harris to break a partisan tie in the senate for his first major piece of
5:01 pm
legislation. now, democrats are set to jam through a massive $1.9 trillion stimulus deal without any republican support. and president biden told house democrats today, that may not be big enough. >> you saw the jobs report and only 6,000 private sector jobs have been created, and at that rate, it's going to take 10 years before we get to full employment and that's not a hype rbole, that's a fact, president obama put me in charge of the recovery act and it was hard as hell to get the votes for it to begin with, and then it was hard as hell to get even the number we got, but one thing we learned is we can't do too much here. we can do too little. we can do too little. david: also ahead this evening, the dems and 11 house rhinos voting to remove congresswoman marjorie taylor greene of her committee assignments an unprecedented move for comments made by greene
5:02 pm
before her time in d.c. at a press conference today, congresswoman greene gave this response. >> free speech really matters and yesterday when the democrats and 11 of my republican colleagues decided to strip me of my committee assignments, education and labor and the budget committee, you know what they did? they actually stripped my district of their voice. they stripped my voters of having representation to work for them, for the budget. a successful business owner that knows how to make a profit, not a loss. david: the congresswoman also called out the left wing national media, and the entrenched members of the washington swamp who continue their impeachment push against former president trump. >> this impeachment trial that's going to happen next week is a circus. it's a circus that allows the media companies to get lots of click, lots of views, and
5:03 pm
sell ad dollars and that's pretty disgusting too. everyone here knows that he did not cause this attack on the capitol, nor did i, nor did any republican but the responsibility falls squarely on those that invaded the capitol. the ones that planned it ahead of time. david: we will be taking all of this up, and a lot more throughout the broadcast, we're joined in just a few moments with freedom caucus chairman andy biggs, and also attorney bruce caster, a member of president trump's impeachment defense team is also with us, as is former defense department chief of staff, cash patel. well, president biden today says the latest job numbers reported by the department of labor clearly show the economy is still in trouble, only 6,000 jobs were created in the private sector in january, a pathetic number reflecting new china virus lockdowns and a number that won't be helped at all by the thousands o of keystone pipeline job losses, the local government education sector did
5:04 pm
see , however, jobs rise by 49,000, but those teachers may not be doing much teaching, president biden has made it clear he is still not ready to push teachers unions and governors to reopen schools even though his own cdc director says in-person classes "can be held safely without vaccinating school staff." one city that has been dealing with a major fight over return to in-person learning is chicago mayor laurie lor i'm lightfoot made her final offer to the teacher's union on reopening schools but the union is saying that isn't good enough fox news correspondent mike tobi n in chicago with a lot more. reporter: in fact, david what mayor lightfoot said it was her last, best and final offer and then the teachers refused it. part of what they don't like are some of the protocols, thresholds for pausing in- student learning. combinations for those who care for at-risk people and the
5:05 pm
administration of vaccines. what that means to parents and students is that they go into this weekend not knowing if monday will be class, a standoff , or a strike, and this after students have been out of class for almost a year. >> we are failing those children by not giving them the option to return to school. reporter: now, teachers unions contributed $43.7 million to campaigns in 2020. only 2% of that money went to republicans so 98% went to democrats and now the democrat in the white house, unions are not getting pressured to compromise and take a deal. >> he wants us not just to reopen but to stay open and he wants to do that in a safe way and we're going to rely on cdc guidance, which again, is not officially out yet. reporter: and just short time ago, chicago mayor lori light foot sent out a message there hasn't been a formal response from the union but said the ball is in their
5:06 pm
court, but again, these parents are going to the weekend like they've gone into most evenings not knowing if they need to pack a bag and they can't tell their employers if they show up for work. david? david: it's horrible and a lot of them, most of them i think it's fair to say have jobs they have to worry about and of course they can't go to those jobs if they have to deal with their children at home. it's a terrible situation. mike, thank you for your reporting. appreciate it. well an incredible story publish ed today by time magazine , offers insight into the orchestrated effort between wall street and the radical left and big tech and more to remove president trump from his office. the piece is titled "the secret history of the shadow campaign that saved the 2020 election. " in it, time gives a detailed account of what it calls a conspiracy between groups like the u.s. chamber of commerce, the american federation of labor , facebook, and other organizations that had ties to leaders of the black lives matter movement, all to make it difficult for president trump to win re-election.
5:07 pm
practically impossible, time described those groups as "a well-funded cabal of powerful people across industries and ideologies working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage, and control the flow of information. " sounds like something president trump would say. time goes on to defend the group 's actions saying, " they were not rigging the election, they were fortify ing it. " whatever fortifying means in this context, we will be taking up more of this truly-amazing story later this evening, with judicial watch president, tom fi tton. well congressman matt goetz praising his colleague marjorie taylor greene for making sure the republican party does not ditch former president trump's america first agenda. listen. >> we do have republicans that are more establishment that want reverse revert to the days before president trump and without president trump tweeting every day and sharing kind of a
5:08 pm
daily message for us to all rally around, i think it is ever the more important that the people who hold those america-first views express them and marjorie is right with the action the democrats took yesterday she's going to have a whole lot of time on her hands to ensure that she's communicating with the people of our country, about what both political parties are doing. david: our first guest this evening is also defended congresswoman greene, joining us is congressman andy biggs, chairman of the house freedom caucus. congressman, good to see you. where is this going now? we've had the congressman herself saying that she doesn't believe everything she believed before, she arrived in washington. they want to keep her from ever being on a committee, if possible, the democrats in congress, some of the house republicans do as well. where does this go from here? >> well first of all, david, good to be with you, and i'll tell you that the underlying thing here is the democrats were trying to erase some of
5:09 pm
president trump's legacy and part of what they're doing is saying we're going to take out a strong conservative female voice in marjorie greene and that's what she is and they exercise this horrible double standard where people in their own conference, who are members of congress, are not going to be disciplined at all, and they will continue to go on in fact a lot of them have received new committee assignments that are more prestigious but what they've done and where we go from here is that they've used this as a precedent. i don't care what nancy pelosi says if she tells you it's not a precedents then that means it is a precedent and they are going to use it to go after additional members of this body. david: let me put a fine point on that. a couple of the congressmen and congresswoman who serve on very important committees that affect ideas about which they have expressed certainly crazy, if not anti-american ideas, i think of rashid tlaiib who was suggesting rewriting a map of the middle east without israel in it at all, the palestinian
5:10 pm
state from the river to the sea, which is an old expression meaning israel shouldn't be there. i think one congressman in particular whose on the intel committee, who had some kind of interesting relationship with the chinese spy, i mean, come on if you're going to do this to her, to congresswoman greene, you got to do it to them as well , right? >> exactly right and that's what i mean when i say double standard and david this is the first time in american history, so you have a member of two committees i sit on that likened jewish people to termite s. you've had others that made grossly anti-semetic statements and adam schiff who knew the intelligence standing there telling you there's a horrible russian hoax and we've got evidence and i seen the evidence still coming and even after their own investigation which came from robert mueller and came out said there was no russian collusion, him and eric
5:11 pm
swalwell kept saying we know there was collusion. there was never any evidence of it and yet, somehow, newly-released perpetuated this hoax on the american people when they knew it and so this horrible double standard exists. david: congressman there's so many double standards in washington these days more than i've ever seen. i grew up in washington i've been covering it for my entire professional life. another example of that is the spat between congresswoman mace, and ocasio-cortez over whether aoc for short, ocasio-cortez, exaggerated the threat to her life on january 6. i just want to show folks a video of what another member of congress, a member from the senate side, had to endure right out front of the white house during the summer, senator rand paul and his wife, were attacked by a mob. they knocked over a policeman who was nearby.
5:12 pm
mrs. rand suggested she felt her life was in danger. i never heard a peep coming from the democrats about the threat to their lives particularly from alexandria ocasio-cortez. here is a little bit of what they had to endure. am i wrong, did you hear anything from aoc about the attack on them in front of the white house? >> no it was crickets from her and in fact all of the democrats on the left, they were all silent. in fact what you're seeing since then is now-current vice president kamala harris saying let's pay for the bail of these people who were rioting around the country. you've had others say, you know, saying there will be unrest in the streets as long as there's unrest in our lives. those types of things that's part of the double standard you're talking about. david: by the way we should also mention during the attack on one of the attacks on the white house over the summer, there were 60 secret service men who were injured some of whom severely, and our hearts go out to them, as do to
5:13 pm
the police who were injured and one killed, of course during the riots then. so it is the double standard that so infuriates a lot of people looking at the beltway right now. congressman thank you for being here, good to see you again. turning now to wall street, where stocks closed the week higher. the dow was up 92 points, the s&p up 15, the nasdac up 78, volume on the big board 4.8 billion shares a reminder by the way to listen to lou's reports three times a day on the salem radio network. coming up next the dems lead impeachment manager says former president trump's refusal to testify is proof he's guilty. we'll take that up, that absurd impeachment with trump defense attorney bruce castor he's next, stay with us.
5:14 pm

5:18 pm
principles in american law that such a refusal to testify cannot be used against an accused party " there appears no price too great to pay to impeach or prosecute president trump, if everything is now politics, this trial is little more than a raw partisanship in constitutional pretense. well said, mr. turley. our next guest is part of former president trump's impeachment defense team joining us now attorney bruce castor , he's also the former solicitor general of pennsylvania. good to see you, counselor, thank you for being here. let me first of all, you know, some people said not only should the president not show up. perhaps the legal team shouldn't show up. there's so little substance to some of these charges. did that thought ever cross your mind? >> it crossed my mind briefly, yes, only because the entire proceeding is just totally unconstitutional, and void from its inception.
5:19 pm
the broader concept has to be addressed, however that this is an attack on the constitution of the united states itself and it can't go unanswered. it has to be a full-throated defense of the document. the map is accused but it is the country that will suffer if this is permitted to go forward, and we'll be doing impeachments from now until the end of time. david: well let's talk specifically about the first point, what you say is unconstitutional and that by the way 45 republican senators had agreed with that which doesn't leave enough senators to convict en this trial, so it might make the whole thing a mute point but it's whether or not, and i'm reading this charge here from the democrats, the president out shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors and you say in response to that the
5:20 pm
constitutional provision for presidential impeachment requires that a person actually hold office to be impeached. so how far beyond that do you have to go in suggesting that this trial shouldn't be happening? >> really, not very far. one of the great things that we have when we're interpreting the constitution is we have the federalist papers where guys who were writing it were explain ing what they were thinking at the time and it was very specific that the only penalty that's available for a conviction upon impeachment, i think the words are shall not extent beyond removal from office, and the inability to hold office of trust or profit or honor in the united states. so, the first part has to be met as a condition preceding to the second part, so the only penalty
5:21 pm
for impeachment and conviction is removal from office, and that is impossible, so therefore, the entire trial is impossible to have a legitimate result because he's already not in office, and an easy argument that anyone can understand is under the democrats way of thinking, if president trump had died, they could still do this. david: yeah. >> it's the same analysis and it's just ridiculous. david: and again, 45 senators have agreed with that. that does not leave enough senators to go ahead and convict in this trial, so it really makes the exercise purposeless. there is no purpose, if you know the outcome of the trial before it actually happens, but you do touch on election fraud in this , and it's an interesting point and it's not the substance of your disagreement with the charges but you do mention it in regard to what he said on january 6 infant of that crowd. you say first of all, the
5:22 pm
president exercised his first amendment right under the constitution to express his belief that the results were suspect. the election results under the convenient guides of covid-19 pandemic safeguards states election laws and procedures were changed by local politicians or judges without the sarah prove alls from state legislatures. are you worried you may get off track a little by talking about election fraud? >> not at all, because while there has been so much misstatements about what the purpose of the document is that we filed, we filed an answer to the charges against the 45th president, and because the house chose to lump everything altogether, and not break it out into counts, i was forced to break it out into counts, and then admit or deny the facts that the house manager s put in their petition, and they said that the president
5:23 pm
falsely said and then a bunch of things and i'm saying that the president denies that he falsely said those things, and i don't have to prove that he was accurate. all i have to say is you prove that they were false. david: all right, let me go to the final point there were a couple of other points that phone call he had with the secretary of state from georgia, et cetera, but let's go to the issue of whether he insighted violence. you say it is denied that president trump in incited the crowd to engage in destructive behavior and denied the phrase "if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore" had anything to do with the action at the capitol. expand on that. >> well you have to watch the whole speech and see in context. i mean, i'm from philadelphia and when we have a big game the eagles game against dallas we say we have to fight like hell to make sure that we beat
5:24 pm
dallas, and move up in the division. these are statements that people make routinely, and we have statements of the democrats far far worse during the 2020 riots throughout the country, cities burning, federal agents under attack. a federal court house had to be defended from essentially what happened at the capitol and they were not only egged on by democrat politicians, they were cheered for it, and it was outrageous but nobody was calling for them to be -- david: and in fact we just mentioned what the happened to rand paul and his wife when they were in front of the white house , and then there were white house riots before that, in which at least, 60 secret service agents were injured. we got to leave it at that, bruce castor , you're probably quite busy preparing for the big day, but we thank you very much for taking time to be here with
5:25 pm
us. coming up next, a major bank is reportedly coordinating with the feds to track those in washington on january 6. we're going to take that up and a lot more after the break with former defense secretary chief of staff kash patel. stay with us. liberty mutual customizes- wait... am i in one of those liberty mutual commercials where they stand in front of the statue of liberty and talk about how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? uhhh... yes. huh... what happens in this one? seagulls. oh, i like it. how are you doing?

5:27 pm
- hello there. michael youssef here. have you ever experienced the pain of betrayal? when someone that you trusted has lied to you, abandoned you, or spread gossip about you, your whole world turns to ashes. now you may feel you can never trust anyone again, but jesus knows the pain of betrayal and he knows how you feel. he was betrayed and abandoned by all of his friends, and yet when they repented, he forgave them.
5:28 pm
this same jesus is ready to forgive all your sins when you turn to him. he is the friend that you can trust always. will you come to him? come to jesus right now and place your whole trust in him. - [announcer] when you come to jesus, you'll find a god who can walk with you through the hard times that life can throw at you. visit findingtruepeace.com to learn about the one who will never turn his back on you, that's findingtruepeace.com. ...and they found themselves in a magical land. and then what happened? where's our family from? was he my age? so nana and pops eloped? ...and then what happened, daddy? well, before us, there were your great, great, great grandparents. turn questions you've always had into stories you can't wait to share; with ancestry.
5:29 pm
david: welcome back. i'm david asman filling in for the vacationing lou dobbs. well the cost of keeping the national guard in washington since january 6 has reached $438 million. that's a frightening shot for some people by the way, you can see them all on the steps of the capitol the cost will rise as several thousand guardsmen maybe staying in d.c. through the end of march. well meanwhile, bank of america is reportedly sharing private information with federal investigators t find those who are at the capitol on january 6, and this is reportedly being done without customer's knowledge or consent. according to fox news' tucker
5:30 pm
carlson, the bank identified 211 customers who made purchases in washington around that day, including hotel bookings, weapon s purchases, and flights. federal investigators reportedly interviewed at least one of those customers who was later cleared of any wrongdoing, and in response to the report bank of america says, "we don't comment on our communications with law enforcement, all banks have responsibilities under federal law to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries in full compliance with the law. " joining us is kash patel, most recently chief of staff to acting defense secretary chris miller and also worked on the house intel committee under devin nunes to expose the origin s of obama gate and work with acting dni rick grenell director to clean house and reveal the truth to the american people. kash, good to see you thanks for being here. there was a time, not too long ago, when a lot of american liberals were worried about
5:31 pm
private companies, cooperating with the government law enforcement agencies. it appears not, if they're investigating the people liberal s don't like. >> thanks for having me, david and you're absolutely right. it highlights the hypocrisy of the democrats and the two-tiered system of justice that is sometimes acceptable as long as you're not the target and your opponent is, which is exactly what happened during the russiagate conspiracy we totally unfolded and let the american public know that the two-tiered system of justice is just not acceptable. as for the democrats hypocrisy it seems that it knows no bounds you let off the piece with the national guard being on- point at the capitol building for some months to come. you know it's ironic and hypocritical these congressional leaders of the democrats are screaming that the department of defense to have 24,000 military uniformed members armed in the district of columbia, the largest since the civil war, and they were screaming at us and president trump when he walked across lafayette park with two members of the military in uniform when the district of
5:32 pm
columbia was burning down. david: it's extraordinary, and to the tune of half a billion dollars, that's how much it's costing us to keep them there. meanwhile, though, they still have their suggestions that the military is filled with insurrectionists, that there has to be a standdown , if you will, that's what the new secretary of defense is suggesting, of the 20 million people who are active duty, and reserves in order to find these so-called insurrectionists. what is your view on that? >> it's another extension of their hypocrisy and it is a total politicization of the department of defense, and it is an afront to the men and women in uniform who choose to volunteer and serve so that you and auto it can have these conversations and the democrats can continue to be hypocrites. it's just unreal that the leading chief of the defense department now says the enemy within the defense department is white supremacy. that is outrageous and offensive
5:33 pm
to the men and women in uniform. david: and again, the whole attitude that the united states government should be using our defense forces against american people who have different opinions, whether are exercising their first amendment. i'm not talking about the rioter s who invaded the capitol. i'm talking about the vast majority of those people, they were insistent that the black lives matter movement was mostly peaceful, even though there were riots that resulted from many of those demonstrations, but when it comes to trump supporters, they're all insurrectionists, and there's another expression of this , there is this new movie called judas and the black messiah which is about when the fbi targeted the black panther party as insurrectionists, it's a big thing and they are going back on that theme that you can't target americans as insurrectionists unless they're supporters of donald trump. well that's absolutely right and all they've done here with the
5:34 pm
help of the left wing media and they've identified what they think is a problem but they can't support it because it doesn't exist, so they use colorful language like white supremacy and enemy within the defense department and then everybody in the media is in uproar to go find these people and root them out but the fact is, they don't exist. where are the 10 secretaries of defense that excoriated me and secretary miller saying we were politicizing the defense department without facts where are they now not screaming their defense department they served in for decades isn't filled with rank extremists and white supremacists. i don't hear them now because they seem to be quieted by the hypocrisy of the democrats. david: kash, very quickly on the foreign policy speech by president biden yesterday. former secretary of state mike pompeo responded that, because biden was saying we have to go back to essentially the same kind of foreign policy we had under the obama administration to which mike pompeo said does he mean back to when isis controlled the caliphate in syria, that was the size of
5:35 pm
britain? i hope not. president trump and our team took that down, when he says back, does he mean back to letting china walk all over us, destroying millions of jobs in places like kansas and south carolina? i hope that's not what he means. does he mean back to dissing and allies in israel and treating the terrorists in iran like friends and he goes on, what do you think of that? >> well it's spot on. if you think about it as president trump head of counterterrorism, we decimated isis, we returned 50 plus american hostages home to their loved ones and their families so that is the stark reality of the facts of the national security policy of president trump versus what biden wants us to talk about as white supremacy and dod, and probably deliver more pallets of cash to iran under the jcpoa, so the fact that we're having conversations that aren't focused on actual national security measures because of the empty rhetoric of the left shows you how far their hypocrisy is, and we need to steer it back and thanks to you
5:36 pm
and lou, we appreciate it. david: i got to say goodbye to you, thank you so much for being here, appreciate it, coming up next, more on the shadow campaign carried out by big business and the radical left is to stop donald trump from winning re-election. we'll take that up after the break from tom fitton with judicial watch. repair your enamel with pronamel repair. our most advanced formula helps you brush in vital minerals to actively repair and strengthen enamel. so you don't just brush to clean, you brush to build. pronamel intensive enamel repair.

5:38 pm
how am i doing? fosome say this is mys. greatest challenge ever. governments in record debt; inflation rising and currencies falling. but i've seen centuries of rises and falls.
5:39 pm
i had a love affair with tulips once. lived through the crash of '29 and early dot-com hype. watched mortgages play the villain beside a true greek tragedy. and now here i am, with one companion that's been with me for millennia; hedging the risks you choose and those that choose you. the physical seam of a digital world, traded with a touch. my strongest ally and my closest asset. the gold standard, so to speak ;) people call my future uncertain. but there's one thing i am sure of... david: breaking news, it has taken four months but republican claudia tenney has won her congressional race in up state new york. the county supreme court just
5:40 pm
ruling that the board of elections can certify its final results with tenney up by 109 votes over democrat incumbent anthony rendisi. republicans have now gained a net of 12 seats in the house. also breaking, hunter biden's new memoire has made it to the top of an amazon best seller's list. the book titled "beautiful memoires" is only an ounce yesterday, won't be out for a couple months but biden, whose business dealings in china are under federal investigation, has managed to drum in a lot of interest in the book, so much so that it has reached the top of amazon's list of, get this , best selling chinese biographies can't make this stuff up and a new report says james comey's fbi wanted to keep spying on former trump advisor carter page because he was talking to the media and considering writing a book. john solemon at just the news found this from the fourth and final fisa warrant against page. "the fbi believes that page may
5:41 pm
have been instructed, may have been instructed, by russian officials, to aggressively deny especially in the media, any russian involvement with the 2016 u.s. presidential election. " the fisa warrant had no evidence to back that claim up. joining us now tom fitton, the president of judicial watch. tom great to see you. >> thank you. david: it's just extraordinary that the fbi can make stuff up and get a fisa warrant on the basis of this made up stuff. isn't it? >> yeah, that's alice in wonder land. denying misconduct is evidence of misconduct. david: yeah. that's the way the obama fbi operated, and as best i can tell , institutionally, they haven't changed their approach. david: meanwhile, hunter biden, what do you make of the fact that it reached his book, which hasn't come out yet, but the advance the orders are now number one in a category called "chinese biographies." what do you make of that? >> well maybe his business
5:42 pm
partners are buying the book. david: [laughter] >> you know, but the book supposedly is about his addiction issues, but we know it's not about the addiction issues. that's not why he's putting the book out. he's putting the book out to soften his image, as he faces and his father faces this criminal investigation into his activities. david: it's really extraordinary how some of these things work out sometimes fade emerges in ways that we can never imagine. meanwhile, you have this time magazine article, which i think got it largely right, i think for the wrong reasons, but it got it right about the collusion between big business, the chamber of commerce, those kind of big corporations, and left wing activists in order to prevent a trump re-election, and i want to just quote from the article. it says in a way, trump was right. they, meaning this collusion, if you will, between big business and left wing activists, fended off voter suppression lawsuits,
5:43 pm
they recruited armies and poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. they successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against, what they call, disinformation, and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. so, they're admitting that trump was right in suggesting that this collusion existed. >> yeah, we've been calling attention to this issue for well over a year. they used covid as a pre-text as the article says, to change the rules, change the systems, and they used big tech to censor criticism of that, and concerns of it, and when push came to shove, and the disputes got heated in terms of the legal fight, you had big tech cooperating with the u.s. chamber and big businesses, to say no ones allowed to question how the elections were run, and what i think is really interesting about this article, david, is that it's pretty clear, that the
5:44 pm
protesters, some of which were violent before the election , from the left, clearly were operating at the beck and call of this conspiracy or this kanye west ball as the article calls it, because they were able to turn the protests on and off with a spiget, and we know from prior reporting the left was planning protests they were planning according to the new york times to push a threat of succession from the union by certain states if trump was actually getting traction in the electoral college. david: and tom you have to wonder whether big business was aware of this , was aware of this pre-planning, that was being done by a lot of these left wing activists. >> well were voters aware of this? were voters aware that this activity was taking place, that the changes in our election laws that resulted in unprecedented mail-in balloting was the result of activities

behind the scenes between corporations that were censoring complains about that, namely facebook. david: absolutely. >> twitter. the unions. david: well according to time magazine, no right wing journal, in fact, very favorable to the left wing, causes that's exactly what they had in mind. that's why all of these changes, some of which seemed pretty unconstitutional when you look at what happened in pennsylvania for example. that's why they took place, because they were being encouraged by this alliance. finally i've got to ask something about new york times because they too are looking back with some question about what happened particularly with regard to the data that was collected through apps, that may have been on the phones of a lot of the people that were at the january 6 rally and then the riots that took place in the capitol. the new york time, again, saying that the data collected on january 6 is a demonstration of the looming threat to our

liberties posed by a surveillance economy, that monetizes the movements of the righteous, and the wicked alike and we may have difference s of opinion about who was wicked or not but even the new york times now is admitting that this is a danger. >> well as they actually report the data, and on specific individuals, and use the data that was illegally leaked to them by someone who had access to this data from big tech or one of the major cell phone operators. i don't know. who leaked this data to the new york times? your private location data, if you're of the wrong political class, will be targeted and potentially leaked illegally and get published in the new york times. i tell you what. going back to this time magazine article that's exhibit axe for president trump next week. david: absolutely. >> he's being impeached and tried for alleging the same, the same concerns that the time

" joining us now is pastor robert jeffres, from the first baptist church of dallas also fox business contributor so pastor first of all we should
5:52 pm
mention that the executive among the executive orders that have been signed, the many that have been signed since he became president, joe biden has been signing a lot of those orders that directly conflict with the teachings of the catholic church, so and some people, some archbishops for example, including nancy pelosi's archbishop in san francisco says that if a public policy official believes in things that the catholic church believes are evil, he can't take communion. >> well, that's right, david and that's why joe biden was denied communion just a few months ago in a north carolina church, and look, the problem here is not that he goes to church we're all glad he goes to church and that he prays but as the bible says faith without works is a dead non--existent faith and the reason these bishops are calling him out is because his public policies don't reflect what he says is his personal faith, and the way biden rationalizes this , david,
5:53 pm
is in 2007 in a book, he said well i'm personally opposed to abortion, but i don't want to impose my beliefs on others. well that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. that's like saying i'm personal ly opposed to murder, but i don't want to impose those beliefs on somebody else. look, all laws are an attempt to impose somebody's morality on society. the only question is whose morality is it going to be, joe biden is choosing the inmorality of planned parenthood and the democrat party rather than the morality of the judeo christian faith on which this nation was built for the last 200 years. david: but not only imposing morality but imposing the dictates of where our money goes. he turned his back, flipped 180 degrees on the height amendment which prohibited federal money tax dollars from going directly to abortion and of course there were ways that the politicians managed to mess around with that with planned parenthood, but the bottom line is he totally turned his back and now people
5:54 pm
that do believe that abortion is murder are going to be forced to have their tax dollars pay for abortion. >> well that's exactly right. you've got the height amendment problem, the mexico city policy that he rescinded a week and a half ago that was literally when he signed that executive order he was signing the death warrant for millions of unborn children around the world. it is dispickable what he has done. david: he's also picked a fight by the way with some liberals in particular femininists who were concerned about people tran sexuals being able to run in women events and nine times out of 10 they're going to win those events, because men are stronger in certain competitions than women are just as a matter of biology so a lot of femininists are upset so he's picked a fight with a lot of different sides here. >> and this is just the first two week, david. imagine what it's going to be a year from now. this is an all-out war between good and evil that we see going
5:55 pm
on. david: very quickly before we go, americans are pretty stress ed out right now, not only we had about a year of this pandemic, but we've had the riots, we had a very contentious election, and now we're going to go into an impeachment, after all this. is there any, i mean, you know, that's really just in terms of what americans can withstand. how do we do it? >> well, look. i remember exactly one year ago this week, having dinner with president trump on the evening that he was acquitted by the senate for his first impeachment trial. he predicted they would do it again, and that's exactly what they've done. the democrats are so eaten up with bitterness, that it's destroying this nation, they need to let go of it, it's time for the democrats to start focus on supporting their new president, instead of prosecut ing the last one. david: we're all stressed out we need a break it be nice not to go through another impeachment. i hope it's a quick trial pastor thank you for being here stay with us, we'll be right back.
