SCHEDULED FOR 30 MINUTES FROM NOW, THAT MAY BE DELAYED A
LITTLE BIT WHICH WILL ALSO BRING
YOU LIVE, JOINING US NOW BY
SKYPE FOR REACTION FROM ALL OF
THIS IS THE HOST OF THE SHOW,
MR. LOU DOBBS, A PLEASURE TO SEE
YOU, A VERY BUSY DAY FOR THE
PRESIDENT, FOR CONGRESS, NOT
ONLY DID THEY GET THAT PACKAGE
SIGNED FINALLY INTO LAW AFTER
DIDDLING ON THE PART OF CONGRESS
BUT THE PRESIDENT ALSO INVOKING
THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT TO
GET GM HOPPING ON THOSE
VENTILATORS.
VENTILATORS. IT IS EXTRAORDINARILY A BUSY
DAY.
DAY. WHY DO YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT WE
SEEN ON TODAY.
LOU: I AM DELIGHTED TO BE WITH
YOU, DAVID, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AT LEAST THE 2 TRILLION-DOLLAR
STIMULUS PACKAGE, THEY DO NOT
LIKE IT WHEN YOU CALL IT THAT,
IS PRECISELY WHAT IT IS AND FOR
MANY AND IT’S AN OUTRIGHT
RESCUE, MILLIONS OF AMERICAN
WORKERS AND ISOLATE THE
PRESIDENT, THE CONGRESS FOR
MOVING AS YOU SAID, THEY
DITHERED AND TRUMPED TIME, THE
REALITY IS, IT TOOK THEM OVER A
WEEK TO GET THIS THING MOVED TO
REALITY TO SIGNATURE AND I THINK
THAT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE, YES
THERE WAS A MAGIC ALONG THE WAY
BUT ULTIMATELY THEY SERVE THE
INTEREST OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
THEIR MECCA FAMILY AND SMALL
BUSINESS AND BIG AS WELL, I
THINK THEY DESERVE A
COMMENDATION.
COMMENDATION. I WOULD OFFER THAT.
SECONDLY I THINK IT’S GOING TO
BE INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE AS WELL
AS GREAT AID AND COMFORT TO
THOSE IN THIS COUNTRY WHO NEED
IT MAINLY WHO HAVE LOST JOBS
ALREADY IN THE INCENTIVES IN
THIS TO KEEP WORKERS ON THE JOB
IS UNPRECEDENTED.
IS UNPRECEDENTED. IT IS A HISTORIC PACKAGE NOT
ONLY IN TERMS OF SCALE BUT IN
TERMS OF ITS CONTENT IN THIS
RECOGNITION THAT THE AMERICAN
WORKER IS THE CENTER IN THE
MIDDLE CLASS TO EVERYTHING THAT
WE ARE AND THAT WE DO, I AM JUST
TREMENDOUSLY ENTHUSED BY WHAT I
WITNESSED IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
AS YOU KNOW, I AM NOT OFTEN
ENTHUSED.
ENTHUSED. DAVID: NOT WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE
THE BELL RATE AT ANY RATE.
AMERICANS ARE RESPONDING AT
LEAST THROUGH THE POLLS WITH
SUPPORT FOR THE PRESIDENT AND
HIS LEADERSHIP SPECIFICALLY AS
REGARD TO THE VIRUS THAT IS
GRIPPING AMERICA, OTHERWISE THEY
WOULD BE IN A FEARFUL STATE AND
CLEARLY THEY SEE A SENSE OF
LEADERSHIP ON THE PART OF THE
WHITE HOUSE THAT IS NOT CALMING
AMERICANS BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT
TO BE NERVOUS ABOUT WITH REGARD
TO THE VIRUS BUT INSURING THEM
THERE IN GOOD HANDS RIGHT NOW.
LOU: HIS LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN
STEADY AND SURE, I’M AMAZED AT
SOME OF THE CRITICISM I HAVE
HEARD EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HEARD
FOR FOR THREE AND HALF YEARS, AS
HE SITS IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
EVEN AS HE IS SUCCEEDING AND
ACHIEVING EXACTLY WHAT HE
COMMUNICATES TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, THE NATIONAL LEFT-WING
MEDIA CONTINUE TO CRITIQUE HIM
TO SUGGEST THAT HE IS SOMEHOW
FALTERING.
FALTERING. THE REALITY IS, WHAT SCARES THE
LEFT-WING MEDIA AND THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY SO MUCH, HIS
LEADERSHIP IS SO PREDICTABLE.
THEY WANT TO TRY TO BRAND HIM IN
SOME SORT OF ECCENTRIC WHEN IN
FACT HE DRIVE STRAIGHT DOWN THE
MIDDLE.
MIDDLE. IF YOU LOOK AT HIS POLICIES IN
THE STIMULUS BILL ADDRESSES AND
SUPPORTS, IS THE BROAD SWAP OF
AMERICA, HE’S NOT ON THE LEFT OR
THE RIGHT, HE IS DOWN THE MIDDLE
WHERE IT OUGHT TO BE, ONE OF THE
THINGS, I DON’T THINK AS MUCH
ATTENTION, PART OF THE NATIONAL
LEFT-WING MEDIA LIKE MOST OF THE
SUCCESSES, HE IS COMMUNICATING
WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE
AMERICAN VOTER, THE MIDDLE CLASS
CLASS, THOSE WHO INSPIRE,
WORKING WHEN ENTERING MEN AND
WOMEN, NOT THE PEOPLE SITTING ON
WALL STREET IN THE CORNER
OFFICES BUT RATHER THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE THE ABSOLUTE BACKBONE OF
THE COUNTRY.
THE COUNTRY. THAT MONEY IS GOING TO THEM,
CERTAINLY NOT ALL OF IT BUT MORE
THAN THEY HAVE EVER SEEN IN ANY
PREVIOUS ECONOMIC EMERGENCY, HE
LIGHTS TO CALL IN A HEALTH
EMERGENCY AND IT IS ALL THAT BUT
THE HEALTH EMERGENCY HAS CREATED
A FINANCIAL CRISIS OF
UNFATHOMABLE AND UNPRECEDENTED
SEVERITY.
SEVERITY. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS IN SUCH A QUICK TIME, THESE
THINGS NORMALLY TAKE AS A
STUDENT OF ECONOMIC HISTORY,
SOMETIMES YEARS TO UNFOLD.
THIS WAS HAPPENING IN ONE MONTH,
IT IS EXTRAORDINARY HOW QUICK
THE RESPONSES AND HOW EFFECTIVE
I BELIEVE IT WILL BE.
DAVID: THANKFULLY HE DID GET THE
DEAL DONE BEFORE THE END OF THE
WEEK.
WEEK. WE WERE MENTIONING THE DITHERING
THAT TOOK PLACE, THIS TIME
INITIALLY IN THE BEGINNING OF
THE WEEK BY DEMOCRATS,
MR. SCHUMER WAS TRYING TO DO IN
THE SENATE, NOW BY REPUBLICAN,
MR. MASSIE IN THE HOUSE, BUT THE
PRESIDENT GOT THE DEAL, HE WAS
HONEST HE SAID I DON’T LIKE
EVERYTHING IN HERE BUT YOU HAVE
TO GET A DEAL DONE, SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TO SWALLOW BITTERNESS
IN ORDER TO TAKE THE MEDICINE
THAT YOU NEED.
LOU: SCHUMER AND MASSIE -- THERE
HAS BEEN AN EQUIVALENCY IN MY
MIND, SCHUMER KNOWS BETTER, HE
WAS PLAYING TERRIBLE GAMES
IDEOLOGICAL GAMES AND DESPITE
FULL GAMES AS A REPRESENTATIVE
OF A PARTY OF HATE.
AND I REALLY HATE TO SEE THAT,
HE AND PELOSI WERE OFFENSIVE AND
AS AWFUL AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN
THEIR CAREERS IN WHICH THEY
TESTED THE LIMITS OF AWFUL
SEVERAL TIMES.
SEVERAL TIMES. BUT THIS WAS NOT A GREAT MOMENT
FOR SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI
EVEN THOUGH THEY CAME TO THEIR
SENSES AND DID THE RIGHT THING
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
CONGRESSMAN MASSIE IS AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO DECIDED HE COULD
BLOCK THE WILL OF THE CONGRESS,
EVEN THOUGH IN ALL OF HIS TIME
IN CONGRESS THE MAN HAS NOT
PERSUADED WITH SINGLE PERSON TO
STAND WITH HIM, YOU NOTICED ON
ANY ISSUE.
ANY ISSUE. HE IS A NOT BUYER OF THE WORST
KIND.
KIND. THAT IS AGGRESSIVELY SO TRYING
TO ASSERT POWER OVER THE
DIRECTION OF THE INSTITUTION,
THERE IS ONLY ONE MAN INCAPABLE
OF PERSUADING OTHERS AND HIS
VIEW AND PHILOSOPHY.
I FIND NO EXCUSE FOR HIM AT ALL.
DAVID: NOW WE HAVE LOOKING TO
THE FUTURE, THE PROSPECT OF
COMING OUT OF A DEAD STOP FOR
THE ECONOMY IF YOU WILL OR CLOSE
TO IT, EVEN GOVERNOR CUOMO, OF
NEW YORK, HE IS NOW SEEN THAT WE
CAN DO BOTH, WE CAN LICK THE
VIRUS THROUGH PARTIAL SHUTDOWN
AND STILL GET THE ECONOMY
MOVING.
MOVING. I AM NOT CLEAR WHERE HE’LL END
UP WHEN HIS HEAD STOPPED
SPINNING BUT AT LEAST AMERICAN
NOW IS LOOKING TO THE FUTURE OF
RESTARTING THE ECONOMY.
LOU: AMERICA WILL DO THAT
RESPECTIVE OF CUOMO.
I THINK WE HAVE TO PUT IN
CONTEXT, HIS LEADERSHIP ON THIS,
HE WAS LATE, DE BLASIO, THE
MAYOR OF NEWARK CITY WAS THE
TERMS OF ADDRESSING THE CRISIS
AND CUOMO STEPPED IN AS IF HE IS
THE SAVIOR RATHER THAN A FIELD
LEADER.
LEADER. IT WAS HE WHO DID NOT BUY
VENTILATORS WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE
BOUGHT THEM AND IT WAS HIS
RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO BUT
INSTEAD HE’S BUYING SOLAR PANELS
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
AND THEN HE DEPENDED ENTIRELY ON
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THEN HE
ATTACKS THEM, BECAUSE HE THINKS
IN HIS STUDIED LEADERSHIP THAT
HE SHOULD’VE BEEN CONSULTED.
THIS IS A MAN WHO HAVE DONE
NOTHING FOR YOU NEW YORK IN ITS
EPICENTER OF THIS OUTBREAK.
IT HAS THE LARGEST NUMBER OF
VICTIMS AND THAT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MAYOR OF
NEW YORK CITY AND THE GOVERNOR
OF THE STATE AND HE IS TRYING TO
ALTERNATE BETWEEN LARGER, CRITIC
AND ALSO BY THE WEIGHT OF FIELD
LEADER OF THE STATE THAT HAS
MUCH TO ACCOUNT FOR AS A RESULT
OF THE EXTRAORDINARY OUTBREAK,
THE WORST IN THE NATION, THE
WORST IN FACT OUTSIDE OF WUHAN.
DAVID: WE HAVE TO JUMP BUT I
WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT
MENTION -- I AM ON THE FIRST
FLOOR, DON’T WORRY I CAN’T GET
HURT IF I DO JUMP.
THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF YOUR
QUARANTINE I’M HAPPY TO MENTION,
WE WILL SEE YOU BACK IN THE SEAT
ON MONDAY.
ON MONDAY. RIGHT.
RIGHT. LOU: THE LAST DAY OF THE
QUARANTINE FOR THE ENTIRE STAFF
OF LOU DOBBS.
I AM HAPPY TO SAY.
EVERYONE IS HEALTHY, ABLE AND
EAGER TO GET BACK TO WORK
MONDAY.
MONDAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVID YOU BEEN
TERRIFIC THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.
WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE IT.
