Was killed in that raid, they dont have verifiable evidence that he is dead. Here at home, law officials on radical islamist terrorists are reportedly bracing for more terror threats over the holidays. And agents indicate they dont have enough resources to track the rising number of radicalized americans who work for or motivated by the Islamic State. The chairman of the House Homeland Security committee is now warning americans the number of people arrested for their support of the Islamic State has dramatically expanded. Here at home, we have arrested more than 70 isis supporters over the last year. Thats on average, more than one per week. And the fbi says that it has nearly 1,000 isisrelated investigations in all 50 states. Well take up the worsening trend with general jack keane and Lieutenant Colonel ralph peters. Also tonight president obama blasting the republicans for suggesting Syrian Refugees coming to america pose a security threat. Apparently, theyre scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of america. At first, they were worried about the press being too tough on them during debates. Now, theyre worried about 3yearold orphans. That doesnt sound very tough to me. Well take a closer look at europes refugee and illegal immigrant crisis. And the president might want to pay close attention tonight to our report, because the demographics of the human wave crossing the borders, that wave doesnt resemble into at least mr. Obamas rhetoric. While republican candidates arent holding back, president obama attacked them today. You want to insult me, you can do it overseas, you can do it in turkey, you can do it in foreign countries. I would encourage you, mr. President , come back and insult me to my face. Lets have a debate on Syrian Refugees right now. How can we continue to admit Syrian Refugees when all of our intelligence communities admit they cant properly vet them. Can anybody be worse than we have right now. You have people coming in. I heard as of this morning, theyre already missing one or two people. They came in and theyre gone, theyre missing. I think its a way that it could very well be the ultimate trojan horse. So, what is the breakdown of the Syrian Refugees already in this country . Well, according to the state department, they are roughly 50 men. 50 women. And of those, nearly 1200 men, 40 of military age, 21 to 50 years old. And something the president refuses to acknowledge, that at least a third of those entering europe, reportedly lie about being syrian in hopes of being granted expedited refugee status. In short, the Obama Administration and european government lack real understanding about the identity of the refugees and the way in which to establish their identity. And the United States is under greater threat, despite being an ocean for most of those terrorists. Early today, honduran authorities arrested five syrians. They carried with them stolen greek passports. They were on their way to the United States when they were captured hone doran Authorities Say they have no indication that any have links to the accused terrorist attacks. Turning to president ial politics. Brandnew fox poles out on the state of the race in New Hampshire. On the republican side, donald trump has built a dominant lead. Trump is in first place, with twice the support of the next candidate. Trump with 27 . Followed by senator marco rubio with 13 . Senator ted cruz, at 11 . Ben carson is trumps closest rival nationally. But in New Hampshire, he is in single digits, 9 . On the democratic side, senator Bernie Sanders has a narrow lead.

Well be taking up the fate from fortunes of 2016 hopefuls with the leading analysts and authorities on electoral paulics, fox news political analyst ed rawlins will be joining us later in the broadcast. Im anxious to talk with him, he can explain why a president seemingly sojourn russ of his legacy would stoop to personal insults as he did today, and not mind getting his facts wrong. If anyone can help us on those questions, the president ial character, even bad behavior and certainly president ial history, it is ed rawlins. Disturbing testimony before Congress Today on americas defenses against terrorist attacks. National security and military experts telling the lawmaker, americans are not safe from the threat of radical islamic terrorism. And the current strategy to fight the Islamic State, they having the best security defensive system in america is not sufficient. We must have as good an office to stop and defeat isis. We do not. Former army vice chief of staff, box news military analyst, general jack keane testifying before Congress Today. And he joins us now from washington, d. C. General, thanks for being with us. I know youve had a long day. And i suspect, knowing you, a troubling day, because of the issues and what has been a failure of leadership in so many quarters over the past 14 years. Yeah, i agree with that. I mean, i certainly have always honored to provide testimony to the congress. They represent the people of the United States. I dont take any pleasure in having to make remarks about my president , about a failed strategy, and about the fact that the American People are more in danger as a result of it. That that, i dont take any solace in doing that, but i absolutely believe thats the truth of it. This is, by our count, your seventh testimony before congress this year alone. Yes. Have you seen any substantive response in policy either from the white house or from congress . The thing that has happened in the congress on the senate side, as well as on the house side, is absolutely bipartisan support that weve really have a problem. Were aware where it begins, what are we going to do about it . And then unfortunately, at times, we get into political bickering which took place today over refugees from syria, yes, refugees from syria, no. How do we do this . And that was unfortunate. We spent 30 to 40 on that issue alone with so many osh issues issues to deal with. Chairman rice pointed out that the 9 11 commission, early on, recommended that never, never should we permit sanctuary for terrorists. We have done precisely the inverse. Have we not . Oh, yeah, absolutely. We did the right thing, though in afghanistan right away, kill and capture, eliminate the sanctuary. This thing here, we didnt go after it with the capabilities that we could do. We didnt organize this thing properly. I think was reasonable for the president to say, lets support the indigenous forces on the ground. Lets not put right back in there combat brigades. But then as opposed to going in to support them, lou, we get feeble support, incremental additions to it over the course of 15 months. Not only has that sanctuary stayed what it has enabled isis to do is now have affiliation, documented train ago assistance with Nine Countries in the region. And a worldwide following where theyre now beginning to undermine those who are attacking the United States. We still have that in lebanon. We saw is that with the russian airliner, and we saw it most dramatically recently in paris. This is an organization that has a global strategy and is executing it right before our eyes. You know, as youre illustrating, talking about the terror attacks that they carried out successfully, in each instance, globally, they are also pursuing and succeeding driving a military organization, an army through syria and through iraq, with great success. And at best, its a stalemate there now. This is real, if you would, if you would, give us your assessment of how strong they have to be in order to do that. Well, what they have what theyve managed to do, theyre conducting a conventional war in iraq and syria. They still have resilsillancy. Theyve receruited as they have in the past. Theyre able to provide support for the operations theyre conducting. Of course, theyve got fierce determin determination. This has enabled that expansion to take place in 15 months. Here we have an organization, and this is unprecedented, lou, theyre fighting a conventional war, at the same time conducting terror attacks to countries of their citizens who are attacking them. Thats as if we were fighting germany, during world war ii, and the nazis were conducting attacks in new york, boston and washington, d. C. But, of course, this president maintains they have been contained. General, great to have you here. General jack keane. Always good talking to you. President obama doesnt want to screen Syrian Refugees for their religious lies to islam. Thats shameful. Thats not american. Why is the president reluctant to support the highest level of vetting to protect level of vetting to protect american i just had a horrible nightmare. My companys entire network went down, and i was home in bed, unaware. But that would never happen. Comcast business monitors my Companys Network 24 hours a day and calls and emails me if something, like this scary storm, takes it offline. So i can rest easy. What. You dont have a desk bed . Dont be left in the dark. Get proactive alerts 24 7. Comcast business. Built for business. Joining us tonight former pentagon official, Fox News National security analyst k. T. Macfarland. And former cheney National Security adviser, john hannah. Former assistant director of the fbi in new york, bill gavin. Thank you all for being with us. Im going to start if i may, k. T. , is this president looking, is he looking for reasons not to act . Because that seems to be the most frequently cited statement by this president , he cant do this, hes going to do that. Hes going to kick it to the next presidency. He is not going to do anything different. The press conference made it clear. Dont look for him to do anything different. I wonder if the president of france invokes article 5. That means if one of us is attacked, all of us comes together. George bush invoking it after 9 11. What will he do, say, sorry, not my problem. In citing that clause, the president of france, john hannah, declared france is at war with the islamist state. Does that suffice in your judgment to bring everyone to bear in nato against the common enemy . No, i dont think it does. I think the United States ought to be pushing for france to invoke article 5. We have an awful lot of members of nato doing nothing currently on the ground in syria or iraq. The United States is at least in this fight, however halfheartedly and ambivalent as the president has been. We need the rest of the alliance and their technology and their equipment in this fight together with us. The president ought to be leading that together with the president of france. Bill gavin, a lot of the fbi are right now in paris working with the french trying to do as much French Research as possible. Also the fbi responsible for vetting in part the refugees, the Syrian Refugees who the president of the United States wants to come here by the tens of thousands. Is this an agency that can stand up to all of these demands . Lou, its very difficult. There are so many different tasks right now for the fbi. But let me say this. I think that if left to their abilities they can certainly perform these tasks. Its the white house kind of interfering with some of the things that disturbs the balance of what can be done. For instance, right now i know that in paris they brought the hightech piece to the puzzle to try to resolve the unresolved issues at this time. They also brought the intelligence on a secondtosecond basis, which really is helpful. Lots of times intelligence is not relayed to allies until it is a little bit stale and not as useful as it could be. In terms of vetting, would be refugees from syria, he has been told the white house has been told it is not necessarily to vet these people completely. And you are putting the United States in danger by bringing these people here. It just isnt sinking in. It doesnt conform to his version of his picture of the world. And, therefore, i think were in for another tragedy. Things are in play in the United States already. I have no doubt about it. And now they are working out the details as to how to get it done. We need to be retaliatory in our actions rather than listening to hollow rhetoric. To be clear in terms of my comprehension, youre saying the fbi has, has communicated to the white house the fallacy of what they are doing . I think the military, the intelligence apparatus and Law Enforcement have all communicated in one way or another that this, the vetting of the wouldbe refugees out of syria is not possible right now because we dont have the information from syria that would give us what we need to say this is high risk, this is no risk, this person should never be allowed into any country other than the one that is going to imprison him. As we wrap up with you, k. T. And john, were told a thousand, a thousand suspected terrorists are in view in 50 states throughout the country. Right. All of these demands on the resources and the manpower of the fbi. And this president is willing to gamble after being told by intelligent, by military, by Law Enforcement that they have an incomplete picture of the threat. A syrian refugee goes into a place says heres my name, country, cup of origin. If that name and that birth date, if he doesnt come up on any data bases, hes okay. He may be lying about his background. Thats the extent of the vetting. These are the people we are bringing to the United States. Even if only 1 are terrorists or terrorist recruiters or terrorist cells, we are in trouble. John, you get the last word. Lou, look, what we saw in france, it takes eight people to transform a country and its Civil Liberties overnight. Thats all we need in the United States and we will be changed forever. We cant afford it. John hannah, k. T. Mcfarland, bill hannah, thank you. Thank you. Coming up next, all three president ial candidates refuse to say america is at work with radical islam. Congratulations. Youre down with crestor. Yes when diet and exercise arent enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55 . Crestor is not for people with liver disease, or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. Tell your doctor all medicines you take. Call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired, have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine, or yellowing of skin or eyes. These could be signs of serious side effects. Im down with crestor make your move. A few thoughts now on petty Political Correctness and the importance of speaking plainly. The candidates appeared to talk tough on terror during their second debate held this weekend but they failed and failed miserably. They couldnt even muster the strength or judgment to name our enemy in the socalled war on terror. They refused to say the two words radical islamists. Heres how they responded when asked whether they agree with senator marco rubios characterization that we are at war with radical islam. I dont think were at war with with islam. I dont think were at war are all muslims. Were at war with jihadists. You can talk about muslims who are clearly jihadists. The term is not whats important. Whats important to understand we have organizations, either isis or al qaeda, who believe we should go back hundreds of year, children should be third class citizens, they are a danger on modern society. . I believe calling it when it is, radical jihadis. That is what it is. Well, no, thats not what it is. It is not who they are. They are radical islamists. The democrats seem to be so concerned with Political Correctness they are completely incapable of naming our enemy. Instead, they cower, run scared from the reality that exploded in death and flood in paris on friday. They are perfectly comfortable with the Obama Administration which also refused to call these terrorists radical islamists terrorists. But to truth and plain language about these terrorists, embracing Political Correctness to suffocate truth in our political arena. Luckily, we have emerging leaders who are breathing life back into our political debates and our discussions and who may well do the nation the Great Service of killing off Political Correctness and the mindbending distortion of the reality that we must overcome. Imagine this, if you will, as far back as 2002, i settled on the term radical islamists to describe our enemy. At 9 11, the Bush White House refused to name the enemy. I put on the air lots of discussions with arab, muslim historians, foreign policy, middle eastern experts. I criticized the bush administrations refusals to just simply say the words, radical islamists. Instead using the serviceable socalled war on terror. It might be as well called a war on truth. I was criticized for saying if you havent got the guts to name your enemy you sure as hell cant defeat your enemy. I cant imagine that we could 13 years later be in this country debating labels for our enemies instead of killing the enemies of this great nation who are without a doubt on a reservation properly called radical islamists. How cowardly and how truly i
