FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight October 30, 2015

To plot how to stage their own debates and to wrest control from the Republican National committee. The rnc for its part is trying to quell that revolt by dumping the upcoming nbc debate because of the disastrous cnbc debate. We had assurances that it was going to be straightup finance, which is what they do every day. Let me ask you this, could you imagine. Nothing but a crap sandwich. Lou we take all of that up with the weekly standards fred barnes and the Washington Examiner Sarah Westwood. Also the Obama Administration started releasing some of the 6,000 federal inmates who are serving prison sentences for drug crimes. Critics blasting the obama mass release of the prisoners saying some of the inmates are violent criminals and the release comes as murders and Violent Crimes are surging across america. Well have much more on that here tonight. Our top story, the president s complete reversal on his syria policy. The president announced hes sending about 50 special Operations Forces to syria. That breaks his earlier promise not to put american boots on the ground there. Fox News White House correspondent kevin corke with our report. Reporter for the white house, this latest shift in syrias strategy has been months in the making beginning with a meeting with the president and pentagon officials in july. Newest plan authorizes 50 special ops forces be sent to northern syria, creating a joint Operations Task force with the Iraqi Government and baghdad. The plan calls for the deployment of a10 and f15 aircraft in turkey and additional antiisis assistance for Coalition Partners in jordan and lebanon. Special operators will be on the ground to advise and assist but could face combat situations. While the white house says the deployment is not much more than enhancement in current strategy, critics question the characterization, noting the president said repeatedly he would not go down this road. My answer is simple, i will not put american boots on the ground in syria. I will not pursue an openended action like iraq or afghanistan. Reporter today Administration Officials said the situation is different than it was in 2013, but the mission is not. Would you acknowledge or reject the notion that this is Mission Creep by any definition, and if you reject it, how do you explain it to the American People . Kevin the mission hasnt changed. Mission creep occurs when the mission occurs, when the mission expands, when the mission becomes something it wasnt at the outset. Theres no change in strategy. Reporter leaders disagree. Republican Mac Thornberry of texas saying senator tim kaine, democrat from virginia said many experts remain skeptical. Im disgusted. No, im not angry, im disgusted. They may be really bad options, but if theyre the only ones you got left, theyre the once you use because you passed up Everything Else. We passed up a lot of stuff. Reporter lou, the white house continues to argue the fact this is not a largescale indefinite combat operation, any parallels between whats going on now and what happened with the Bush Administration is simply invalid, but no matter how you describe it, American Forces will, in fact, face combat situations on the ground and from the skies above moving forward in syria. Lou . Lou kevin, thank you very much, kevin corke reporting from the white house. The president s troop decision comes as secretary of state john kerry attends talks in vienna on how to end the syrian civil war. Those talk for the First Time Ever involve iran, which supports syrian president Bashar Alassad. Diplomats say progress was made today and considering a plan to set up a ceasefire in syria within the next four to six months. The parties involved however still in disagreement about the fate of president Bashar Alassad, another round of talks on that issue as well, scheduled within the next two weeks. Turning to more fallout from wednesdays cnbc republican president ial debate. The candidates are planning a revolt against the Republican National committee, some of them, and the rnc is now at war with nbc. Doug mckelway with the report. Reporter the softspoken chairman of the Republican National committee summed up cnbcs debate with very choice words last night. I just cant tell you how pissed off i am. You this, you cn imagine. Nothing but a crap sandwich. Reporter priebus followed up with an unprecedented move suspending nbcs Co Partnership with the debate in february. In a letter to nbc news chairman andrew lack, priebus accused the network of quote gotcha questions, petty and meanspirited in tone and designed to embarrass our candidates. I will be working with our candidates to discuss how to move forward and will be in touch. In a pointed response, nbc reminded the rnc of coveted demographic quote along with broadcast partners at telemundo. We will work in good faith to resolve this matter. One piece of fallout from the nbc debate. Several will meet in washington sunday to find ways to alter future debate formats including insisting on Opening Statement at minimum. Give everybody two or three or four minutes to answer a question and answer rebuttals and clarifying questions and can you get it done in a twohour period. Reporter no one from the rnc is invited. I like reince priebus, strong man, trying to rebuild the Republican Party. Allow all of us to have a say, break the field in two groups with less people on the stage, having more quality time to express who we are and why we want to be president. Reporter the rnc bares little blame for the cnbc debacle. You can complain about a lot of things, complaining what the rnc said to set up the debates, theyre not responsible for what happened. Reporter indeed the sunday meeting may be the candidates jockeying for better position, that took a bare knuckles turn when the Bush Campaign released research on marco rubio. It accused mitt romney of rejecting rubio as a running mate because of past sketchy financial dealings. Romney spokesman denied it saying meanwhile jeb bush is struggling to keep a happy face on a faltering campaign. Having fun . Yeah, having lots of fun. Reporter the Bush Campaign chief operating officer is not having as much fun. She announced her resignation telling the wall street journal ive got no comment, ive got to go. Lou . Lou doug, thank you very much, doug mckel way. You dont want to miss the fourth president ial debate on the Fox Business Network in 11 days, tuesday november 10th. Well be broadcasting from milwaukee, wisconsin, broadcasting monday and tuesday from milwaukee. Put us down on the calendar for the november 10th. The day before veterans day by the way, and it is the marine corps birthday. Going to be a special evening. Join us for the republican president ial debates right here on the Fox Business Network from milwaukee. In washington, congress sending president obama today a twoyear budget deal that lifts the threat of a government default through next years president ial election and the end of the obama presidency. Measure passed 6435 in a 3 00 a. M. Vote. Whoa. 18 republicans joined democrats to pass the deal that increases spending by 80 billion dollars. Republican opponents argued it was brokered in secret, contained too much spending. Are republicans really that lousy at political battle . That we fear the president would shut the government down, blame us and we would collapse in ignominy because we fought for internet tax freedom. Holy cow if were that bad at this, why are we doing it . Lou the white house says president obama will sign that bill into law as soon as he receives it. Of course it is also a violation of the hastert rule, a majority of a majority not voting with the republicans in the senate. Were coming right back. The Obama Administration marginalizing its own Foreign Policy. Syria, the South China Sea and, of course, Eastern Europe and russia. We take it all up with former director of National Intelligence John Negroponte here next. And this biker obviously pushing his luck pulling highspeed stunts on a highway. We show you what happens when he left his luck behind. That story and much more straight ahead. Stay with us. The promise of the cloud is that every organization has unlimited access to information, no matter where they are. The microsoft cloud gives our team the power to instantly deliver critical information to people, whenever they need it. Here at accuweather, we get up to 10 billion Data Requests every day. The cloud allows us to scale up so we can handle that volume. We can help keep people safe; and to us that feels really good. Lou joining us tonight to discuss russia, u. S. Special Operations Forces in syria and the South China Sea, of course, former director of National Intelligence, fivetime u. S. Ambassador John Negroponte. Ambassador, good to have you with us. Lets begin with this announcement, and it has been precisely that. The administration making much of the insertion of just about 50 special Operations Forces into syria. Your reaction . Well, first i think its a significant move even though the numbers are small. We havent had forces in syria before, at least not those that weve acknowledged. I think its a signal we want to be of greater assistance to the nonsectarian forces in that country, and i think were positioning ourselves as are the other major players, russia, iran, and so forth for what i think may be a forthcoming negotiation in search of some kind of political solution in syria. Lou this is a head scratcher in so many ways, ambassador, because saudi arabia for the first time will be involved. Saudi arabia making it clear theyll not participate in a solution that does not include the removal of Bashar Alassad. You mentioned special operations for the first time in syria acknowledged as such, there is every suggestion weve had special operations there for some time. Is there a change of balance here, direction, is there and incentive or alignment that says suddenly russia and iran and saudi arabia and the United States principally, those entities, those nations want to resolve the civil war . Well, i mean i think that the devastation in that country is so great. The exodus of Syrian People from the country, i think many of the players on the ground are exhausted and battle weary. There may be opportunities here. I think first of all to get some kind of a ceasefire, that would be the first order of business. But i think maybe also some kind of agreement on the outlines of a political solution. Lou and that solution. One has to wonder, theres an old expression, all the major decisions have been made, and nothing happens by accident. The exodus, as you say, and the Mass Immigration into european, into the European Union, it looks now for all the world as if it was a clever strategy, and that the only really possible for the European Union is todom a solution in syria and to move those people, those refugees if you will, Illegal Immigrants, they may be, back to their homes in the middle east and particularly syria. What do you think . Well, i dont know if theyll succeed in moving the ones back who have already gotten to europe. Accommodating the refugees is that you have to also deal with the root causes in the countries of origin, and in that sense, i think the europeans have realized theyve also got to be more involved in helping find a dirable solution in the president himself. Lou whether it be the flybyes by bare bomber aircraft, russian aircraft, in the western pacific. Also, the idea that this president does not respond to what has been the insertion of troops into syria, special forces troops again on the part of the russians bit iranians bringing their military to bear. Your reaction to what has been passivity on the part of this president . Im not sure how passive it is. I think we have a plan, weve inserted the forces were talking about. I think the effort to defeat isil in iraq is ratcheted up. The president himself spoke to the Prime Minister of iraq today, and i think what youre talking about is all the key players with skin in this game are now positioning themselves, and possibly over time, for some kind of political outcome. I think the rubbing point, the Sticking Point is going to be the terms on which Bashar Alassad leaves power. I think everybody is willing to agree he will be transitioned out of power. Over what period of time and over what terms and conditions . I think that is really the nub of the matter. Lou all right, ambassador, wanted to talk to you about so many other issues as well. I appreciate it. Were out of time. Always good to see you. John negroponte. Thank you lou. Lou be sure to vote in our poll tonight two million of whom are Illegal Immigrants as well.

Going over 100 miles an hour. All seemed well until it wasnt, and that isnt good. He lays it down, crashing, sliding down the highway, and the biker suffered road rash, severe road rash as his bike was completely destroyed. Up next, a few thoughts on a president who seems to lead from behind if he is to lead at all. And leaked Surveillance Video capturing the deadly shootout between rival biker gangs in texas. That video, that story and many more straight ahead. Stay with us. Well be right back. Does your mouth often feel dry . Multiple medications, a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. But it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. Thats why theres biotene, available as an oral rinse, toothpaste, spray or gel. Biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. Remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isnt. Biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth. Excellent looking below the surface, researching a hunch. And making a decision you are type e. Time for a change of menu. Research and invest from any website. With e trades browser trading. E trade. Opportunity is everywhere. Lou a few thoughts now on the administrations hapless, feeble Foreign Policy. I wish i could really believe that John Negropontes optimism were well placed becaused reality seems to be that its as if Foreign Policy is just beyond the president s capacity and imagination and of that his people. The ayatollah sent mr. Obama another bouquet in appreciation of the nuclear deal and tense upon tens of billions of dollars the president is putting in his hands. Iran arrested and put in prison an american for the first time. A businessman arrested while visiting tehran earlier this month, and heres what the white house said about irans latest show of contempt for our president. The president has made a priority securing the release of americans who are unjustly detained in iran. Secretary kerry talked about in the context of the nuclear talks, and he was meeting frequently with counterpart, securing the release of americans unjustly detained in iran continues to be a private the Obama Administration. Lou i believe thats an example of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Since we reached a nuclear deal with leading state sponsor of terrorism, iran has only arrested an american citizen, test fired a longrange missile, a ballistic missile, and the president s response, empty threats, agreeing to sit sidebyside at the regime at todays syrian peace talk. Sums of the legacy of the administration are spectacular, and this president s principal legacy failure and doing almost Everything Else at the margin. And this latest act from the socalled margin man sending fewer than 50 special Operations Forces to syria. All of this despite mr. Obamas two years of promises of no boots on the ground in syria, claiming it would be a, quote, profound mistake. Why are we sending this few and this few so late to syria . And why arent we hearing from the president directly about the reasons for his latest reversal what he intends to actually achieve in syria . President obamas pension for acting on the margins has done little to resolve anything, anything, instead it seems to create only more problems, some of them large and enduring and diminishing our standing in the world, and also threatening our national security. Theres no way to laugh at what our
