New heights in another national poll. A New Washington post abc news poll puts trump at 38 support. 23 points ahead of his closest rival, senator ted cruz. This is the second poll this week showing trump with a massive lead over his rivals. Our top story, the obamas administrations out right deceptions about the war against the Islamic State. A day after president obama said the Islamic State has lost thousands of square miles of territory in iraq and syria, a new pentagon report released today warns the terrorist group is quote, operationally emergent in afghanistan. The commander, said supporters in the country are rising and trying to establish a base in the eastern city of julaw lubad. Right now, the Islamic State loyalists dont have to ability to attack the United States or europe but they have expressed a desire to do so. Joining us tonight, fox news analyst general jack keane. He talks about a shrinking Islamic State at the pentagon. What are we to make . Believe the report. The harsh reality, the Islamic State has expanded with formalized documented affiliate relationships with Nine Countries and theyre expanding into three more probably within the next 30 to 60 days, afghanistan, and pakistan. They are there one, because they can. Number two, theyve gauot two strategic regions. They want to undermine the al qaeda leadership that operates out of pakistan. Theyre going to take advantage of what they believe is another u. S. Withdrawal, much as they did in iraq. They see this as huge strategic opportunity for them to succeed in that part of the world. The United States retains significant special Operations Forces in afghanistan. But frankly the United States is dependent entirely upon those special Operations Forces to exert the political will of the United States. And were looking at the possibility, are we not that those troops could be withdrawn relatively quickly, are we not . Oh, yeah, the president has not committed tod a sizable fore past 2016. He holds the cause on that decision. Special operation folks, commander at fort brag, they are a considerable multiplier and enabler. You need intelligence to feed to them so they can act. We pulled a lot of intelligence out in terms of our guys on the ground. Its almost as if this administration has decided to use our special Operations Forces for ways in which they were never attended. Never a strategy if we can discern the administrations strategy at all. A strategy that has a requisite number of regular forces that would have to be deployed in order to seize and old significant regions of territory. No doubt about that. Conventional forces on the grounds win wars. Thankfully, we have the best of all of that. The best special ops, conventional ground forces, best air power in the world. And all of them, likely, coming home if this administration has its way very so soon. A further vacuum about to be created. Secretary ash carter in turkey to what end . The problem is, the president of turkey has told us for two years now as have the other arab states in the region that their priority is assad and his removal so syria can be stabilized and this civil war can come to an end. We disagree with that. Because what was a priority for us has been a nuclear deal with iran. That has trumped this action. Now were on there with our hand out saying we need help with is isis. Hes not going to do much to help us until we change the tactic against the assad regime. The president said we have to deal with the Syrian Civil War before we can go after isis. Today, secretary kerry meeting with sergei lavrov, the Prime Minister of russia. The socalled Syrian People will decide the fate of bash aral assad, which means bash aral assad will determine his fate. This is the first astonishing example. This is an example of the u. S. Commitment to the belligerent. Vladmir putin holds all the cards. Hes propped up the assad regime. It was in danger of being encroached upon by the rebel forces. Hes sitting at the table and saying these are my terms. Assad and his regime will stay. He may trade assad for a better deal. Were backing away from assad and this regime have to change because they have killed and murdered their people and were wiping that slate clean. We have done it before with iran and we have done it before with iraq. Its tragic. But its a pattern of behavior thats so sad to see play out. And of course, sad indeed. Syrias partner along with russia is iran. Today, the iaea agreed to close the file on Iranian Development of weapons. This after two icbm missiles were test pin contravention of Un Security Council resolutions. And they march toward the lifting of sanctions and release of 150 billion to the iranians next year underway at full speed. This was stunning today, lou. The board of governors of the iaea meeting after weeks of inspection attempts at a military facility to try to determine what irans complicity was weaponizing nuclear weapons. Thats what the issue was been. They know iran was lying to them. They put that in reports that iran lied and deceived them. They decided thattiate not going to be factor in the conditions to lift the sanctions. The sanction vote takes place on tuesday. They will lift the sanctions despite the fact that iran is lying to us again. Im sure well hear a lot from senator Mitch Mcconnell and Speaker Paul Ryan on this. Im sure theyll have a way to make certain the National Security is assured. I will not ask you to respond to that. Thats my side. General, thanks for being with us, as always. We got a cage match just not the one we expected. Ted cruz and marco rubio. Ted supports doubling number of green cards. I understand marco wants to raise confusion. It is not accurate what he just said. How will rubio versus cruz work out . How do you say breakfast in korean . Google voice response achim sigsa. How long does milk last .

Foreign policy and fighting terrorism the big themes at the fifth republican president ial debate in las vegas last night. Each of the republican candidates hit the campaign trail today. Their main goal, to convince folks theyre the best choice to keep america safe. National security, Border Security, now the top concerns for voters all across the country. Fox news chief Political Correspondent carl cameron with our report. The day after the final debate of the year, donald trump declared himself the winner and talked Border Security and immigration. Illegal immigration has caused tremendous crime and deaths. Last night the National Front runner defended his proposed ban on muslim immigrants. Were not talking about religious, were talking about security. Jeb bush tried to lead the charge against the celebrity candidate. He would be a chaos president. Im at 42 and youre at three. Do you think this is tough and youre not being treated fairly. Ted cruz was branded as a bit of a maniac by trump, who changed his tune last night with a warning. He is a wonderful temperment. Hes just fine, dont worry about it. You did question his judgment. Marco rubio went straight to iowa where he renewed his criticism of cruz for opposing the Defense Authorization bill and weakening National Security. The defense cuts we are facing in this country already, the ones that are already in place, that some republicans have supported make it even deeper. How are you going to make the sands of the middle east glow if you dont have the bombs or air force to do it with . The battle is likely to be seen next year. John kasich wanted to urge a less divisive agenda. Rubio has been hammering cruz for weakening surveillance programs. Im proud to have joined with conservatives in both the senate and house to reform how we target bad guys. There is nothing we are allowed to do under this bill we could not do before. On immigration, cruz cast rubio as a supporter of amnesty. One commentator said for marco to suggest its the same. Cruz indicated in the past he was open to a path of leading status after building a wall. Rubio says their plans are similar. I personally, am open to allowing people to apply for a green card. It was rand pauls feistiest debate yet. Marco has more allegiance to the liberals than to conservative policy. Chris christie mocked the senators for their legislative bickering. If your eyes are glazing over likes mine this is like being on the floor of the United States senate. The next debate is january 14th hosted by fbn. Its in South Carolina and comes twoeeks before the iwowa caucuses. Joining us is ed rollings and michael goodwin. Great to have you both here. Lets start with rubio and cruz. The cage match we hadnt expected. What do you make of it . Look, i think they hurt each other a bit. They opened up some areas where i think they can both be damaged though, with cruz, of course, it was the vote against the National Defense bill. And with rubio, its the amnesty issue. Those were out there but i think they exploited them. I think trump benefits because the two guys fighting for second place are beating up each other. Did you notice rubio would not respond to the fact he was on the g 8 comprehensive Immigration Reform committee . Gang of eight. Yeah. Lets just say thats a part of his resume hed like to oo i think he was doing that on the air last night. Who me . They are extremely articulate men and very substantive. Theres three people on the stage that really have substance and john kasich is the other who has no personality. Youve got to be kidding me sne. Hes got substance . What kind of substance . It looks like an uncontrolled substance. Im talking about he knows the budget and armed services. It was trumps show. At the end of the day he had a strategy going in there. His demeanor he had a good first hour. I dont think he cares he knows what the triad is. At the end of the day he went in there with 35 or 40 points and didnt lose any. I got a kick out of the fellow. Wanted to pin him down on the triad in terms of the Nuclear Capability of the country talking about submarines and b52s if you get down to it. It was a crazy question. It gave rubio to play mr. Smarty pants. By explaining. I think those three people still are in the game. I think that the governor of new jersey who doesnt want to be the governor anymore wants to go back to his days of the u. S. Prosecutor. That reality the rest of them arent going to make it. The sooner the better it could be a substantive debate if you had three or four people. The numbers still work against a continuing deep dive into some of those issues. Lets ask the Million Dollar question maybe considerably more than that. Who if everybody leaves you want to, lets say were down to four folks, how big are the numbers for trump . Do they go up or is there a leavening process here in your dreams . Depends on the campaign. I think at this point in time, you have to have more substance and serious discussions. If theres three or four people on the stage its not a matter of his personality. Hes here to stay. And my sense is he didnt do anything to hurt himself last night. I thought he looked like the leader last night. He did. You know, we agree on that. The fact is, hes taught these other candidates something. You didnt hear them backing up or apologizing. They werent woofing with one of the questioning, the moderator. Theyre saying, you keep mushpug me. One thing hes taught them. He makes the faces thats part of the trump personality. Poor jeb bush had a camera on him all night was making the stupidest faces at all. Its the first time i had just seen jeb goes after him talking about him being the chaos candidate and all this other stuff. And the cameras goes to trump. He didnt say a word he just does one of those faces as you call it. And he won an argument without saying a word. He did say a word he knocked him on his tail. He could have the rest of it is just overkill. And its interesting because, of course, rubio and cruz who you think would gain the most dare not go after him at all h. Its only bush and fiorina. Rubio got a lesson from trump when he did go after them. Those two guys are the future of the party. Theyre two different wings. Theyre two smart articulate guys. Theyre going to be finalists. I think we have more debates to come. Who won . I personally think rubio won. But at the end of the day trump was the ultimate winner. It was his party and he performed well and didnt lose anything. I think cruz and rubio beat each other up. I think christie scored some points but trump wins because he came in as the winner and goes out as the leader. You know, and trump is obviously, toughened up the field. This is not a bunch of shrinking violets now. I may be wrong in this judgment, but i think they were, many of them at the beginning.

Ive been waiting to do this, a few thoughts of paul ryan. He cant escape my attention of late. He was asked by bill hemmer whether Trumps Campaign is good for the republican party. Here what the speaker said in reply. Look, i think this is a healthy primary process. Weve got great candidates running. I trust the republican primary voter to deliver a very good nominee for us. I didnt hear a yes or no in the answer. Im not youve known me a long time im not going to get into who is up and down in the president ial campaign. Mr. Speaker you got into it big time last week. Speaker ryan is a little late for that innocent act, isnt he . Or his power act. Here is ryan just last week on trumps call to temporarily ban muslims from immigrating to this country while we figure out what the hell is going on. Normally, i do not comment on whats going on in the president ial election. I will take an exception today. This is not conservatism. What was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for. Whoa. What happened . That was a pretty assertive fellow wagging his finger saying this isnt conservatism. Lets set aside for just a moment if ryan knows what conservatism really is or if hes a conservatism. Today he was so quick to join Mitch Mcconnell and suddenly dismiss all of that talk of a brokered convention hed been boosting previously. This talk is ridiculous. We have a we havent started the iowa caucus. Im one of the millions of primary voters that will sort this out and well have a good nominee. I feel better hes one of millions of voters who will sort it out. Last week he was going to sort it out. I think hes finding out his breeches have gotten big pretty dog gone quick. I think hes pretty well figured out hes worthy of his predecessor. Thats not necessarily if you care, a compliment. He is a card carrying member of the out of touch gop establishment. Still, and with trump only surging in the polls after his comments last week, ryan and the establishment thats been running scared are now trying to hide from the very voters who have had more than a belly full of their usual serving of the establishments deplicity selfserving nonsense. Its beginning to look like some of them, a few of them are getting the message. Lets hope the message against even bolder and louder and absolutely inescapable. Thats just my wish. The quotation of the evening, the frustration and disappointments that we mere citizens experience as we listen to the frequently absurd, often grotesquely dishonest utterings of our government officials, so we turn to a man who knows where of he speak and who spoke this. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones weve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. Those are words of president barack obama. Who is certainly the change that many now seek. How words live with you. Were coming right back. James comey says the Islamic State is more dangerous because its revolutionized terrorism. The model changes, an entirely different way of approaching terrorism. How do we defeat the new islamic i accept im not 22. I accept im not the row
