lou: yeah.the speech itself, i did some fact-checking and, i have to say, some of the fact-checking is extraordinary. "the new york times," white house correspondent annie carney tweeting this: trump just ad will libbed they came down from heaven when watching a holocaust survivor. she pointed out that jews don't believe in heaven. [laughter] i mean, that's what they're -- and politico criticizing the president's claim that, quote, one in three women is sexually assaulted on the long journey north to our southern border with mexico because it's only partly true, are you ready for this? because the number of people assaulted is actually two points below a third. 31%. this coming from some of the most reliable, reliably anti-trump outlets, politico and "the new york times." >> what bothers me is every single day in these papers you see a correction on the bottom of the page where they correct the mistakes they made. and they're basically highlighting that. these are facts, these are things that ar

i mean, give me a break. >> all right lou, calm down. >> lou: i'm not going to.feel the way you feel. you are expressing the frustration of a lot of people. remember nancy pelosi and jos ck schumer met with the president in the oval office to try to talk about a deal or agreement to address the crisis at the southern border? i'll quote nancy pelosi. when kristin nielsen came on, she was going to present pictures and facts, nancy pelosi said. i reject your facts. they didn't want even hear the facts. the president's state of the union address on tuesday was filled with facts. what did the democrats do after that and what have they done for the last couple of days? rejected all of those facts. they don't care about the facts. i have an acronym i've used for quite some time called sin, shift the subject, ignore the fact, and name call. they have continued those tactics unendingly. i don't believe those will change unless they see a reputable poll that says you are losing this fight. i don't think the american people, i think even though the mainstream media was tryi

lou: and u.n.e down on them like a ton of bricks, they were outraged. >> you have panel of experts, talk about chinese sanctions violations, you have chinese banks laundering money, beijing giving diplomatic support to kim jong-un. and xi jinping summoned kim to beijing last month to tell kim, don't give in to the americans. this is. lou: last night on subject of china. this is the president, what he means to acome blu english in tt -- accomplish in that relationship or if no relationship at all. >> we're now making it clear to china that after years of targeting our industries and steal our intellectual property, the theft of american jobs and wealth has come to an end. lou: fred, president making that declaration clear. yet the unregistered foreign agents of wall street, corporate america, chamber commerce, business round table, the koch brother fighting the president on his goals, purposes and negotiations with the chinese. >> i agree with all that gordon said. i might add. i think there is an o

lou? lou: ed, thank you very much. ed lawrence reporting. joining us tonight is dr. michael pilsbury director cent center at the hudson institute and a trade advisor. it is great to see you. the chinese today really have the field to themselves. the white house not talking. the communications department, the trade representative, and the trade ministry of china with 30 members in the delegation outnumbering the u.s. members better than 2 to 1, i mean, they really are dominating in every way right now, whether it's messaging or whether it is in number of folks at the table. >> it is true, lou, the chinese are trying hard to control the narrative. even in their own press conference, they think america has a secret weapon and his name is donald trump. they often point out how many presidents they've been able to bamboozle frankly to use a polite word over the last 30 years or more. they don't see donald trump the same way. they see him as a master negotiator. there's translations of his art of the deal. and they know he brought this to office. he first wrote about this

lou dobbs is next on the fox business network. have a good night. lou: good evening everybody. our national security, the soundness of our dollar, the wealth we create for generations of americans, the sovereignty of our nation, all at risk in the high level trade talks now going on between the united states and china in washington. and none of it frankly looks good for the good guys. from the talks come word that there are principled agreements as they are called, principled agreements between the two delegations. no word on what has been agreed to in principle or otherwise. there are also memoranda of understanding, six of those, and it hardly matters what they contain because there's nothing binding, nothing enforceable in any memorandum of understanding at any time. how do we know all of this? how can i report this to you tonight? well, not because i've heard it from the u.s. trade representative, robert lighthizer or any of his delegation, not because i've heard it from the white house communications director, no, because our inside reporting relies entirely on the chinese

lou: yeah.true, if true, the acquiescence of the gang of eight, the ranking members as well as the majority members of the senate and the house in that group, act acquiesced. and if they did so, they are complicit in the most nefarious assault on the presidency and this government in the history of the country. >> again, again, i wasn't in that meeting. eight members of congress were in that meeting. i'm not -- i don't know what they were told, how the fbi spun it. we do know devin nuÑes was in that meeting, and he's been pushing in the right direction, doing a great if job over the last two years. my guess is it was spun in a way -- who knows how it was presented to them. but the other key point is, lou, these four people -- baker, mccabe, strzok and page -- none of them are elected. none of them have ever had their name on a ballot and been elected by the american people and, frankly, none of those four are confirmed by the senate, and yet they're plotting this, planning this, trying to remove

lou: joining us gordon chang. i love that the chinese state media talking about china's right to prosper, united states must respect china's right to prosper. when when you hear them saying is china expect us to respect their right to steal hundreds of billions of dollars from us every year. >> absolutely, they also demand we accept their wto violations, by literal deals they made with u.s., they are allowed to violate those and we're not supposed to say anything, this is a coordinate the campaign, we saw it in global times we say in foreign ministry statement. can't talk about structural issues, they say. if you can't then there no point in talking to the chinese in the first place. >> to me there is a fundamental illusion. in u.s. media in all forms. if there is no metric by which to judge whether or not china is complying with an agreement, you don't have an agreement. what is the deficit reduction? what is the impact? how are we tboain going to defed our intellectual property and our technology against chinese

lou? lou: ed, thank you very much, ed lawrence from washington. while the trade talks continue, the united states sent two u.s. navy vessels, through the taiwan strait by show of support for our ally taiwan, this the fourth time since october that u.s. navy vessels have sailed through the strait demonstrating free navigation for all the world to behold, despite threats by china. joining us tonight retired four star general fox business chief strategic analyst general jack keane. good to see you. this is a historic week by any definition, almost irrespective of the outcome of all that president trump has taken on here. let's begin with north korea. a lot of expectations being paraded in the general media as well as the political press, but the administration has been not guarded perhaps but certainly clearly steady and certain about the challenges they face. >> yeah, definitely, lou. what's happened to the administration certainly is that initially they realize that trying to achieve their objectives in just two years is likely unrealistic given it

♪ lou: good evening.resident trump today making history as he signed the executive order declaring a national emergency to secure our southern border. to stop the mexican cartels from smuggling tens of billions of dollars of deadly drugs across that border and to stop as well their sex trafficking and smuggling of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. these groups meeting their match in the president. today's national emergency declaration is a clear indication he means to fix the border. president trump: today i'm announcing several critical actions my administration is taking to confront a problem we have right here at home. we fight wars that are 6,000 miles away. wars we should never have been in many cases. but we don't control our own border. we are going to confront the national security crisis on our southern border. we are talk about an invasion of our country with drugs, with human traffickers, with all times of criminals and gangs. lou: president trump's declaration of a national emergen

lou: i hope quickly. think the american people have had a belly full of the justice department being the place where truth goes to die. and a report is well, continues to be written, investigations go on in perpetuity nothing is ever revealed, do you think that will change? >> i do, i think that present of barr, sent shutters across street at fbi headquarters, but also shouts of joy from people in both the fbi and department of justice who realize what a horrible thing james comey, loretta lynch, sally yates did to those good institutions. there is one thing they are sad about the new fbi director is an empty suit, they are embarrassed by chris wray who never won't oe made a speech to his employees about a horrible thing happened to that institution, the last speech he gave to them, he said he had never been a angrier when they was going to miss a paycheck during the shut down, about what a disgrace. lou: you could hear the concern for truth and justice. it was -- >> he is a game show host. lou: might wel

lou: good evening. the need for our leaders to take on the worsening national security crisis at our southern border is more urgent with every passing day. now both democrats and republicans are ignoring that urgent need. the house and the senate are out of session. our representatives and senators out of tune. and members of the border security conference headed home as well. apparently to rest up from their single meeting held wednesday which was apparently so exhausting even though they worked only slightly more than an hour and a half. that's right. that's it. president trump is not the only one addressing the border crisis. this congress, this senate are doing absolutely doing. nothing except as the president noted today, but opposing and obstructing everything he's trying to do to secure the border. president trump said the radical dems' obstruction and bipartisan council refusal to act in the national interest means the putt must act, and it's far more likely he'll be forced to declaish a nationa
