Transcripts For FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight 20140926

Meeting iran halfway. It would mean that the republic of iran would keep up over half of their subterfuges, enough to make up a nice material within the next year. Press secretary josh earnest today would not deny the Nuclear Islamic state tradeoff and would not confirm whether the president had any contact with them in the u. N. General a summit meeting this week. Was there any contact at all with the delegation . No, im not aware of any contact. But i think it you will recall that there were a number of individuals in the delegation, going all the way up to the secretary of state john kerry and his counterpart from the administration and specifically with these there are some other issues as well related to this coalition against isil. But there is no specific president ial communication that im aware of. Lou meanwhile the cost is skyrocketing already. Defense secretary chuck hagel and joint chiefs chairman Martin Dempsey confirming today that the president s plan to pentagon funding this may not happen now. Ed henry has our report. Reporter as the air force released the first images of the f22 raptor ever been used in combat, the nations top civilian and military officers revealed the pentagon is spending 7 million to 10 million per day to battle isis and other militants and they say president obamas plans to cut defense spending are now part of this change. We are at the beginning and not the end. That warning came as American Allies started putting more skin in the game. Belgium offering f16 planes to help a rock only in the British Parliament voted to help with airstrikes in iraq but not syria. This is not the stuff of fantasy but its happening in front of us and we need to face up to it. Reporter british leaders say it would be legal to attack isis inside syria without permission from the sure mark. The British Action raising questions about why the president has not sought a new authorization from congress. This president has, in libya, and then this week in syria, committed our sons and daughters to a war that is not authorized by congress. Reporter meanwhile, the economist magazine unveiled a new story. The magazine noting that he made mistakes in Foreign Policy but mr. Obama followed with studious inaction. And now america seems swamped, either unwilling or unable to help this world spinning out of control. He says that hes the president of ends wars and not begins wars and that is one reason for isis has been successful. Josh earnest noted that this president has not backed nasa brown warriors, and even in places like yemen where the country has fallen apart. What we have been focused on is mitigating this threat from extremists and denying them the kind of safe haven that would allow them to plot and what we have seen there is the effective deployment of a terrorism strategy to put continual pressure on extremist groups. As for the prime ministers claims of a terror plot, and various u. S. Cities, the white house says that he was talking about a broad concern and not a specific plot. Lou thank you very much. Ed henry from the white house. At a briefing today, chuck hagel could not name the head of the free syrian army, the socalled moderate Syrian Opposition that the United States is now backing. Who is the head of the free Syrian Opposition that youre planning to train . First of all, we are in the process of setting up the system for those that we will begin to train moderate opposition with syrian fighters. Lou congress has approved capital in dollars to train the group and the pentagon has been opaline training these members in jordan for the past year and a half. The cia has been doing the same thing for nearly two years. Joining us now is a member of both the House Veterans Affairs and Arms Services committee. Also serving as combat search and in iraq. Good to have you with us, commerce and brad wenstrup. Thank you. Lou are you shocked at the defense secretary could not name the head of the group that the administration is now defending his boots on the ground, as they put it . I would think that we would have a few names to see who is going to be in charge and that is one of the things we have a concern about with this effort. Where is our command under and he was actually doing the coordination of the boots on the ground, whether syria or iraq or with the courage. Lou yet you supported this amendment to supply arms to the Syrian Rebels and syrian forces. At what point where the American People seeing both sides saying that we need to have an intelligent discussion, at least that we can follow in congress about our National Interest in how and how we are going to pursue that National Interest in the form of military strategy. You are exactly right. And both sides of the conversation, and i understand that people are concerned with the strategy itself. And i think it is unanimous, almost, that we take some action, the type of action that we had the same enough, that we wont put boots on the ground, it really has a lot of people very uneasy. Lou as one who served in iraq, are you offended by the expression boots on the ground . It becomes to me, almost not seemingly trivializing of putting our men and women in harms way in conflict. I think that its more of a political statement than it is a military statement and i cant find one general that whatevers a what we will not do and let our enemies know that. And the fact of the matter is that we had some boots on the ground and we will probably continue to add more. So we are playing some games with words here, im afraid, when we really have a serious enemy that we have to take on. Lou it doesnt strike me as again, i guess, thats what im saying. I dont like the term because it doesnt recognize that within those boots are our citizens going to war for our nation. And so i would just love to hear everyone use another expression if i could just say that. So we find out that were spending a lot more money than i think most people thought possible. And we are carrying out air strikes and we are counting up the damage from these strikes. Frankly i dont think theres much we can brag about in the amount of targets here and we cant talk about a single out of ground here in regards to isis. That is part of this, this is a Different Group and they actually have territory and wealth and they have assets and they have an army. If you treat that much differently, were not seeing that. And i would agree with you that we have to be serious about the enemy that were facing and if we truly seek to destroy this enemy right now, our strategy and our means do not match the objectives. Lou lets turn to the discussion that is percolating to the forefront here in washington. That is a report to the president and his administration negotiating with the iranians over a quid pro quo that would involve and could involve a set to process what would become weaponize geranium and enriched uranium. Then putting this into the fight. This seems like, frankly, i wonder, kind of a possibility that is growing very close to reality. What are your thoughts . I think that its frightening and i think that unfortunately there is not even us about what we are dealing with. Look at how the president held about the russians, thinking that they werent a threat anymore. We saw that during the debate when he ran against mitt romney and obviously Presdient Vladimir Putin is a threat to the United States into the Global Security that we have and i think it is the same thing when we are talking about are ran. And we really need to talk about this and engaging in it is extremely dangerous. Lou congressman, its always good to talk with you and thank you for being with us.

Lou clashes of rapping in ferguson, missouri, again last night, after their police chief had the idea of marching with protesters and demonstrators, actually calling for his resignation and they apparently didnt like that. They didnt like Thomas Jacksons efforts to join the crowd, resulting in brawls and at least four arrests, coming just hours after the police chief jackson had issued a video apology to Michael Browns family, nearly seven weeks after the teenager was shot and killed. And outgoing attorney general eric holder today dismissed a Supreme Court ruling which forced states to seek federal permission before changing voting laws saying that he would deploy attorneys from the Civil Rights Division for the upcoming midterm election. In the month ahead, as we prepare for the upcoming elections, the voting section will be coordinating with u. S. Attorneys and others to this fact and dispatch this as we do in every election season. We are not stopping. Our people will be in the field. Lou another way of putting it, they are not stopping irrespective of the decision of the u. S. Supreme court. Christian adams, from the u. S. Department of justice served under president bush and obama, offer the book injustice, exposing the racial agenda of the obama Justice Department. It is good to have you here. What do you think of the way in which the attorney general put it, that his Civil Rights Division attorneys would be in the field, despite this. Let me tell you that first of all it is contemptuous. They have contempt for the Supreme Court, just like eric holder has for congress. But this happens every election. It happened during the Bush Administration and i did the election coverage when i worked at the Justice Department and so what is interesting is when they say that they are at the house of the civil rights group. That shows you how he used the Justice Department as an appendage to these far left organizations, trying to get the vote out to the democratic party. Most people are not focusing on that circumstance and there really is no analog for the relationship between civil Rights Groups and nonprofits in this country and the Justice Department and on the republican side, the Justice Department and then is there any compared a set of groups and interests that would be there to influence a republican Justice Department . I was tasked with putting together just that list, to invite people from all sides of the political spectrum and i was able to amass i think there were three people, three individuals in the room was filled with dozens of these activist groups on the left. Eric holder views the Justice Department as a political arm of the far left. That is why he listens to people like al sharpton. He gives them hugs and he goes to their conferences. That is who eric holder thinks that they represent. He doesnt think that he represents the people of the. Just certain people in the United States. Lou in that regard, the contention that has grown up around some of it, some of it manufactured in ferguson, missouri, the ability for three separate investigations to come to a conclusion on whether or not there should be a criminal proceeding against officer wilson who shot and killed michael brown. What do you think is going to happen . Hopefully the grand jury will offer a free from undue influence from eric holder, but somehow eric holder is guilty and has been putting a thumb on the scales of justice and this is nothing new. He has a legacy of lawlessness. He has a legacy of taking sides in fights that tend to benefit one spectrum over the other. Eric holder has left this country more divided and more polarized and more split along racial lines than when he took office. Lou why is there not a republican response, if you will, because as you say it is a leftwing expression of political will. Why is there no influence from the republican or conservative side to offset that in pauls . Because for 40 years the left has used race as a way to shock conservatives and constitutionalists up. To shut them up. It has shaken out places like cocacola and its gotten Big Companies to do what the left wants them to do and its used as the way to get what the left wants. Lou forgive me and let me interject. Because going over ground, its well understood and has been articulated for years and years, yet there is still no republican response and we have this political effort against what is highly effective effort of the left. When you talk to the people who have been inside a long time, they live and tremble in fear of being accused of being racist and that is why you see the actions of some political party. Lou if there is that level of timidity on the ride and an uncertain intellectual feat, the result is, in this instance, the process seems to be the result of the left can win out against the enfeebled right. Here is the good news, the American People dont put up with it anymore, they now have the first africanamerican president and they are going to be accused of being racist. Hopefully the leaders will follow in fight back when they are part of trend falsely accused of racism or welfare reform, these tell us when to stand up and hopefully the folks in washington will figure it out. Lou thank you so much. Its always good to talk to you. More than two years after rising to fame is the face of the administrations lavish spending on conferences, General Services Administration Official jeff neeley, facing the consequences, five counts of fraud against them if convicted, he will face up to five years in prison.

Steve forbes on what is happening with these markets. How dire are the streets. For all of this,. But first, what appears to be the likely possibility that the Obama Administration is considering giving iran the goahead to continue its Nuclear Weapons program. In an apparent exchange against the Islamic State. The administration denies that, but certainly the iranian president , hassan rouhani, it is on his mind. He said a nuclear deal could mark the beginning of what he called a multilateral focus on regional issues, including combating violence and extremism. As if they should be motivated to deal with violence and extremism. Well, our president s big solution to the centuries old conflict is to add Nuclear Weapons to the mix and i w
