because -- >> i hope they are not, good thing that federal -- free market can. lou: let me finish the thousand, that is, that they are playing with fire, because tha capital - calculus of free market, the fans are not going to put up with this, and they should not, this is an insult, this is about leadership that is rolling over and pandering to those players. who -- and the union. >> you will probably see a different tune whistled if this thing continues, we're just in the third week of season, in terms of union, they have most pro labor collective bargaining agreement if any major sport. lou: and i want to go to the one other point, some season holders are talking about massive class-action lawsuit. because they signed up for football, entertainment, not politics. >> don't think that class-action lawsuit would resonate but i would never put down creativity of plaintiff's lawyers to come up with something that might. lou: a certain editorial view there from judge andrew napolitano, we appreciate it. >>,. lou: we're coming right back, a lot more on the nfl, and what

lou: it seems to me, in a week no one will remember. >> no. nots hol hold the seat, it will be a passing. lou: i make you a bet that president trump makes sure that judge roy moore is elected by a wide margin no matter what. >> no shortage of money, moore is a good, smart guy. he will be close to the president, he may not be close to mcconnell. lou: he shouldn't be, mcconnell is a disaster. he can't leave the senate. throws 10 million into a 30 million race on one side, all that money to lug ar luther stre still can't win. >> 45%. lou: unbelievable. >> mitch mcconnell did not have a good day yesterday. lou: may he have many more would be th the expression on part ofe populous. this may have a startling affect, i think some people may be, on direction of politics in the republican party, this is a very clear message, corker leaves next year, not waiting, this is a time that the populous movement. goes way beyond national politics, and to every state. >> i think there is no question. i think corker quit or announced he is not running for reelection,

sure the president got what he wanted. >> three month debt ceiling is not a big deal. >> lou: it may not be a big deal. but there are years we would have wished to get that deal. he would not get it from speaker ryan, is it not a clever move. >> his treasure secretary didn't see. if the government is not shut down in christmas time he will have a benefit. it is the first step and obviously we'll see what schumer and pelosi want to do and his own side will do. >> lou: ed does not trust schumer and pelosi. >> i don't like it. >> lou: what do you think, mike? >> i think the message to the republican system loud and clear. which is you guys had your chance and produced nothing for eight months and i am going to get things done whether you it's what you want or not. it has to be a wake- up call to the republican base to get members of congress on line. otherwise theiad of a gofferring republican majority is neutered because they can't get things done and the president neapeds to get it done. >> lou: i can't wait to hear your answer to this. the reason that nothing is done even thou

out of work and no money you know lou not a penny and i want to know so who is. the most you don't believe there is and i don't mean. to sort of you me pop anything. but is it on the scene you know my nose better not to use. your r. and b. c i want to show you what i'm. most of. the say you know in the campaign come up with me cause it'll be i found. out that but you know it's not going to be on the family where i was. you are what you eat basically. along the route which you eat says all about which side of the wall you're a. good. it just feels like everything that we would find. behind. in spanish. to. us. which will be oh i stopped. just you know you got kid all you got. when i have found a women and children and pregnant women. and what they had to go through. i i. i struggle for words here but. i'm actually in all of the courage people to make this journey. and i say all the more power to them i really do. think you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations preparations from washington to washington controls the me

it may not cost him reelection but it might cost him something. louild it, but it might be later. the base could deal with the delay. they could never deal with the canceled wall. it's not symbolic to the base it's a commitment of promise. a guarantee with this president he will have to meet if he's going to preserve an extraordinary relationship with his base. >> i think he knows that. we'll see what he gets out of this and how far he takes this with the democrats. lou: what would you have him do with paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. they are nothing more than hacks. ryan 20 years, more than three decades for mitch mcconnell. they have never done anything. they haven't passed significant legislation of any kind. even the volume, i think ryan moved three bills in his entire career. one of them to name a post office. these are not accomplished brilliant legislators. >> maybe you could expose some of the corruption. there is so much corruption in washington. if they started pulling on the thread, the whole sweater would come undone. lou: we tugged on that

>> i don't think there is more politicization of any intelligence -- lou: this is not a accusation. is is criminal conduct! >> and rank incompetent while on the subject. lou: no question about it. people are saying really? they unmasked someone, the head of the damn cia is surveilling the intelligence committee? quite a bunch. >> to be sure. lou: i think we need to talk more about what we can grant these intelligence agencies, john, but that is a conversation for another time. ambassador john bolton, great to have you with us. >> glad to be here. lou: thanks so much. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. do you believe it will take special counsel to reveal the true depth of corruption among obama's intelligence leaders? we want to hear from you on this. cast your vote on twitter at lou dobbs. follow me on twitter @loudobbs. like me on facebook. follow me on instagram @loudobbs tonight. >>> on wall street stocks closed lower but near the record highs. the dow down 58 points. s&p lost eight. nasdaq down 33. volume on the big board slipping to 2.9 billion shares. the index is dragged lo

ceiling is not a big deal. lou: it may not be a big deal but there have been years in which we would have given anything to get that deal. and he obviously wasn't going to get it from speaker ryan. so this not a clever move on his part. >> his treasury secretary didn't think so. we'll see. january 1st, if government not shut down at christmastime, he will have benefit. one of these things we have to wait and see. this is the first step and it is obviously we'll see what schumer and pelosi will do from here on out. what our own side will do. lou: ed does not trust schumer and pelosi. >> i don't at all. i have too much experience with them. they like it, i don't like it. deal with that premise. lou: what do you think, mike? >> well, look, i think the message to the republicans is incredibly loud and clear which is that you guys have had your chance. you have done nothing. you have produced nothing now for eight months and i'm going to get things done, whether you, whether, it is what you want or not. i think this is

>> well, the issue with the democrats though, lou, is, their voter base does not want them working withhe president. i mean they -- lou: no, no, i understand that but don't you think that is an absolutely breathtaking contrast between the leadership of the democratic opposing party and the republican party which is, should be following the heed of this president? >> well, not own hi that, but i think that, just, unfortunately, it pains me to say this, but people like schumer always seem to get things they want whereas we're not really getting a lot of conservative wins that were promised. i think that has been true in washington for a while now and i think our voters are getting tired of it and they want to see a new formula so we can get things across the finish line. lou: but again, aren't you embarrassed that our leadership would follow by weeks an attack by democratic part of the leadership, to support and be conciliatory with this president? >> issue with that, i think the democrat deal is the not -- lou: that is the issue congressman. that is what happened. we have watched democra

if you are not, basically leave. loucan the president fire mueller who is on some sort of crusade. ed: mueller has moved beyond any -- he's -- manafort is not a good guy. i was surprised when trump hired him. he shouldn't be going back 10-15 years. if this was a soviet persecution we would be all appalled by it. if you have something against manafort -- the idea is the president of the united states after he's been elected on a wiretap and no one in the government said mr. president you have to understand, we are basically going after manafort and you should know what's going on here. lou: ryan and mcconnell better understand something. the american people who voted for this president are not going to put up with him being messed with much longer. because it's reached egregiously disgusting and appalling levels it's uncome grath krattic and -- it's undemocratic and un-american. ed: at the end of the day he should not be distracted by all this mess. lou: robert mueller should be the focus of an investigation, so should ja

lou: "the weekly standard" that fought trump the whole way. michael: but your point about gary cohn is right. he's not really a trump person. but that doesn't mean he can't be an effective advocate in. >> trump administration. but at the end of the day the president make the decisions. lou: he does and he has. and he's leg up to every one of his promises. the man is extraordinary, and what he has done in two weeks dealing with two major storms. you note left-wing media was sitting there poised, waiting to attack hip for failing to deal with the aftermath these storms. instead they are holding their tongues because he has been brilliant in his leadership and responding has been his entire administration. ed: every single day as you watch these terrible tragedies. he was right there holding the wheel. every governor said i just talked to the president. he promised me everything i need. you felt he was in charge of what was going on from the federal level of it. it was a high priority. we are going to do everything we can to help you. that's a major step forward, i think. lou: governors rick scott and gr

. >> it is quite a day, lou, and let's not lose sight of the fact that president trump issued his executive order against north korea right there at the united nations general assembly meeting. i think this is incredibly important. it was a consequential week for our president. really taking aim at our nation's sovereignty, saying america first will always be his guiding principle and he actually recommends other countries do the same. when it comes to north korea today, the president putting even more teeth into what has become a twice, a is fifth teen0 u.n. security council vote to sanction north korea. the president taking aim, speaking language where they know it would, their shipping, trade practices basically give people a choice, you deal with north korea or you deal with the u.s. but you can't do both. these economic sanctions are severe. military options still on the table but really deepening the economic sanctions and i think china blinked today. i think it's a relationship that the president has established with china. that is having, forcing china to act according to the will o

some of us are not giving up. lou: i'm proud of you not giving up. but i don't buy it. i just don't bite. you can't even get one started. it's not about giving up. i can give you little gold stars for not giving up. but that doesn't mean anything happens. i don't understand why there isn't a significant push here. it is the source of the majority of meth am get means, heroin and cocaine coming into this country. no presidential candidate has focused on those drugs more than this president, donald trump. you beth, i think that helped -- you bet, i think that helped him get elected. the talk about daca. when anybody in washington talks about legalizing anybody, we get a surge. we have got to quit talking about legalizing anybody. lou: there isn't a single soul in your conference or democrats and the leadership of both parties who don't understand the relationship of cause and effect talking about amnesty. you have got president's liaison to congress talking about acrossa, amnesty in a trade for tax reform, is that b.k. or is that wha of -- is that bs or ist the trade for

and this thing on -- lou: do they have the brains and the guts to do it? >> if they don't, they're not there. lou: that's one answer, but the fact of the matter is we're stuck with this nonsense until the midterm elections. >> let me just say this, if harry reid was still running the democrats -- which, thank goodness, he's not -- if he only had 51 or 52 votes, he'd get through what he wanted to get through. lou: yeah. >> that ought to be the role model. lou: what's it going to take? i'm hooking for the magic solution. >> well, you've got a very powerful president in his ability to go out and communicate the country. i think they're running a superb operation, like the dinner at no time -- lou: the white house. >> they're not getting full credit for it, but his going out and campaigning in 13 states concern. lou: can he get mcconnell out of the leadership position? >> if he decides to try and do it, i think he can. certainly, he's got a wife in the administration, so he can certainly put pressure there too. lou: referring to the secretary of transportation, elaine chao. thank you so mu
