lou: yeah.'m -- by the way, the truth is an independent and objective reality, i think most of us agree. the perception may be somewhat varied, but that's another matter. >> that's right. lou: but the idea here is that we have a nation right now that is disgusted with the fbi. >> i agree. lou: the corrupt leadership -- i'm sorry? >> i agree. i agree. i think you are right. lou: we have a governmental issue, we have a crisis of confidence in the number one law enforcement agency in this country. and they're behaving as if it's a game. you've got strzok involved in deciding, you know, culpability? >> it's a scandal, i agree with you. i think it's a scandal. no, i agree with you. lou: -- the next attorney general if they behave with the arrogant, condescending insistence that they do it their way rather than the american way? >> look, i have known this attorney general for a long time, i have an enormous amount of faith in his integrity. i think he was the right person at the right time for the rig

so we're working on that, lou. lou: okay. well, i know if anybody can do it, you will be that person. let's turn to andrew mccabe and the long-awaited report of the inspector general, the investigation of the investigators. i will tell you, if any viewer watching this broadcast, our audience is terrific and loyal and engaged, and i suspect they can sense very readily my disappointment, my frustration with the process that is underway in washington. i can find no excuse. you are the attorney. and you have a very acute political sense and judgment. but i have to say, that it has taken this long to carry out an investigation is to me dismaying. it suggests that there's very little room for reasonable, reasonable expectation that there will be justice done, and i think that in and of itself should be enough to tell americans that we have got a government that is never to ever be trusted again and that we have a government that means to create something other than what is our constitutional republic. we may have well lost it. your

lou dobbs is next. lou: good evening everybody. hurricane dorian has left a trail of destruction as she moves up the eastern coast, and tonight new concerns that china may exploit devastation in the bahamas in order to expand its presence in the caribbean and near our shores. and do we have some news for the national left wing fake news media about hurricane dorian's initial forecast? there you see the image that was, well, ubiquitous on left wing media in this country, and the president we are pleased to tell you has been vindicated once again. and we will tell you all about the fake news media's big big loss, the absolute snide and snarky set of the left wing media are in deep pain tonight. we will tell you all about it. hurricane dorian making landfall this morning over cape hatteras, north carolina, as a category 1 hurricane, with 90 miles-an-hour winds. came ashore. storm surge is up to 8 feet causing major flooding, stranding nearly 800 people on an island in the outer banks. more than a quarter million americans are without

lou, it's politics. it isn't the finest and brightest shining examples of high principle here unfortunately. lou: we are look at senate bill 386. every one of those wags in the senate republican clucking like chickens heading to feed on the ground because the chamber of commerce wants them to have illegal immigrants bill of rights. we talked today, for example, the american hospital association. they oh posts it outright because d they oppose it outright. it's absolutely an assault on the working men and women in this country. the president's base, i should point out. middle class, small business, independents. it looks like we'll see a substantial number of minorities, hispanics and african-americans join that base in 2020. why in the world would anyone in that senate be permitted to disturb the president's inertia -- excuse me, his momentum, and trajectory? >> you are right. when you go back to the core issue of this sue crane situation. both parties have been pushing for our government to give money a

lou: get out and vote. the president slamming the washington post abc news poll, saying that the internal polling looks great, and of course, the washington post -- what is it the president calls it? [inaudible] -- the washington post? it is not unusual for them to be finding weakness wherever they survey when it comes to this president. >> you can manipulate polls to say whatever you want. what's interesting about this poll is every other poll that's been in the field at this same time frame has the president 4 to 10 points higher than this poll. so i think this poll is absolutely inaccurate. they've been inaccurate throughout. and i think it's an indicator on a couple fronts. one, we can't believe these polls. we just can't. it's too early. i think people need to put that away. what we need to look at is how is the economy doing? what are things we can factually talk about with this president? wages up, jobs coming back, good gdp, good retail information coming out of companies like wal-mart. so many good

lou: yeah.hink it's pretty clear to the american people, certainly, that this is another, just another assault from the radical dems, the deep state, whomever. and for this person we're getting "the new york times" saying the whistleblower is a cia officer, for crying out loud, who was on temporary assignment to the white house. i mean, it just gets richer and richer and more preposterous than the previous dem plot. >> well, you're exactly right. but there are some similarities. if you notice this whistleblower complaint, they cite a whole lot of sources in the news. what we know from the previous russia collusion narrative, what did they quote? sources in the news that they actually put in the news so that they could report about it. i mean, you know, listen -- lou: why do you suppose the president calls that all fake news? [laughter] >> because it's exactly. that you know, i haven't used that term, fake news, but let me tell you when the reporting prior to this whistleblower's complaint coming

lou: great. let's go to another very important -- i think most people would probably be surprised to learn just how much of your time is spent on national security,a on sanctions approaching at least half your time, right? >> it is. lou: iran. we're at a juncture that i think very few people saw arriving. that is with tensions at a height, and the president cool headedly, constrained not unleashing the hounds of hell. >> let me put this in perspective, i think you know that president campaigned on he would rip up the iran nuclear deal, it was a terrible deal. it would have allowed iran to end up with nuclear weapons, at the end of a relatively short-term. and also had many other things it did not address when president came in, he did that and u instructed us to put sanctions back on, they are toughest. there is no question they are working, we have cut off the money to iran that money was being used too spread terrorism. president did three things, recently one was he authorized to us put sancti

lou: thanks so much. we are lou: the * today suggested a new list of investigation for the house judiciary committee. president trump suggesting they might want to look into obama's multi million dollar book and netflix deals and a slush fund used to pay off sexual misconduct investigation and the justice department trying to win access to secret grand jury material from the mueller special counsel investigation. the doj used the radical himms confusion against them. the justice attorneys wrote most of prominently the speaker of the house has been emphatic the investigation is not a true impeachment proceeding. it's nice to see a little fire being returned against if you will, the resistance. >> the justice department needs to defend the rule of law here. the democratic party is out of control in terms of pretending they are impeaching to justify a press don't attempts to gain access to information that they otherwise would never be entitled to. we are otherwise not be entitled to even if they were trying

lou: it is that.telligent, they are certainly determined and that's to obstruct and frustrate this president and even suggest impeachment. it's to say to everyone in this country, the democrats obviously think most of people in this country are damn fools to try to run these games to pretend this rises to the level of impeachment, and the ignorance of putting in cia officers in the white house as william barr would say sit, by god, that sounds like spying to me. it sounds like espionage. where are we headed here? this is a circus of the absurd. >> i think wait really means is the president and mr. barr and mr. dur mam are getting close to the target or there wouldn't be this kind of stuff flying. lou: it may be over the target now. but my god, this has been going on and on and on. the president of the united states has been under investigation for three years and the american people are swallowing that. just biting their lips and going ahead and saying that's business as usual. it has become usual it'

lou: good evening everybody. tonight from washington, hurricane dorian continues to churn up the carolina coast, spawning tornadoes, destroying homes, causing flooding, dumping up to 7 inches of rain in charleston, south carolina. the storm surge warnings are mounting in place for myrtle beach, south carolina, for north carolina's outer banks and the city of wilmington. for the very latest now on what is now a category 2 hurricane, fox correspondent doug mcelway in wilmington, north carolina. >> an early morning tornado in wilmington, north carolina, one of several and a first taste of deteriorating conditions as a reenergized hurricane dorian marched northeastward, setting its sights on the coastal carolinas. this ominous scene at frying pan tower, 32 miles off cape fear, north carolina. unlike north florida, whose concave coastlines skirted major damage, the carolinas are exposed and vulnerable. the barrier islands jet out towards the warm gulfstream, an area known to sailors as the graveyard of the atlantic. 1

so we have to fight hard to put a stop to this, lou. lou: i would hope so.he rnc, republican leadership on the hill, they don't seem to be filled brimming with passion to defend this president and go after the radical dimms perpetrating a fraud on the american people and who are relentlessly and absolutely from every quarter attacking this president nonstop. this one would think has to end. >> the rnc is fighting hard. all the material coming out of the rnc is corn is tent in fighting for the president. i'm disappointed to see our conservative republican senators scurrying away from questions about this. we'll remember those folks when they come calling for contributions. this is a time for everybody to stand together. this is a fight for the future of our country. lou: it's nothing less than that. the niceties from the rino republicans, i don't understand why the party bothers. if they have principle or courage, they are willing to test it. i want to turn to a development that is very interesting, and i know you have been check it out because we discussed i

lou: they did that.ly we will go back and keep fighting the chinese are not receptive to the idea. >> i had not heard anything public about that. they need to have a press conference. lou: the hell with press conference. i'm getting tired of the republican response to the viciousness that highly energized viciousness of the democratic party on the part of republicans. they say will write a strong letter, we may hold a hearing someday. i mean it is justed nonsense. they are evident and they are not worthy of support if they don't go to work for this president. i think you'll agree with this, either this president wins the election in 2020 or the republican party may be, what many democrats hope, a thing of the past. >> in the midterm, 40 house seats and about to hold the senate in 2020 in addition to the presidency. every republican who cares deeply to be fully engaged. lou: fully engaged. i think i would be mad as hell and going after everyone of these issues that are trying to still avert this president

lou dobbs next. [♪] lou: good evening.onight we'll be taking a good hard look at the latest efforts by the radical dimms to overthrow the president of the united states. this time they plotted and began to implement what increasingly looks like an amateurish series of clumsy claims that house speaker nancy pelosi has relied upon to launch an impeachment process against mr. trump. you will see tonight she relied on the demonstrated liar adam schiff who presented her a pandora's box that may threaten more than just democratic control of the house in the upcoming elections. the chair of the house intelligence committee delivered pelosi a grossly inaccurate account of the phone call between president trump and ukrainian president zelensky. it fictional narrative became the basis of her decision to proceed with impeachment. she underestimated the support of republicans for president trump. and the rickety case of what has turned into a failure of almost comic proportions. many in the republican party are coming to the defense o
