FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight October 24, 2014

We believe it is in the state of new york and state of new jersey, to control access to their borders. We want to establish this process to determine an individuals risk level by considering the geographic origin and exposure to the virus. They could require a mandatory 21 day quarantine. Lou governors policy comes after an american doctor tells to positive for ebola. Doctor craig spencer, treating patients for the last month or so, he did not quarantine himself when he returned last week. He went bowling, he took a cab, he dined out with his fiancee into friends. After developing a fever, he alerted authorities and he was taken to the hospital and is there in isolation tonight. As are his fiancee into friends. These developments taking place just after president obama suggested this crisis was behind us. A number of things make us cautiously optimistic here in the United States and it just gives people a sense of how difficult it is to get this disease. Lou now the president refusing to institute a travel ban on travelers from west africa for Health Care Professionals returning from the ebola afflicted region. Today president obama was seemingly more interest did in a photo op with nina pham, who was officially declared ebola free and released from a maryland hospital today. Remember he said back in july that he was no longer interested in photo ops. So the search for accountability taken up by lawmakers on capitol hill today, the House Oversight committee holding a hearing on the administration of the Ebola Response and not a single toplevel Administration Official was in attendance. And the hearing was heated at times over the newly appointed ebola czar. Operative ebola ron klain not ae witness table. God for bid that we pick someone with a background in medicine instead of a lawyer. And in the interest of full disclosure i am one. The next time theres an opening in the Supreme Court i wanted to see whether or not the president considers a doctor or dentist for that job. Lou joining us now is andy harris, House Appropriations Committee Member and he served as an officer in the u. S. Naval reserve as well. Conversely, good to have you with us. I want to get your reaction, if we may, to comments from quarantines put instie on the place today. New jersey and new york will determine the standards of quarantine. The cdc guidance is continually changing and we need to set a standard for our two states. Lou do you have confidence in the federal government to handle ebola . What do you think of the governors decision . Americans dont have confidence in the American Government to handle ebola. Its good that someone took leadership and to the common sense thing. If we are not going to have an outright travel ban, we have to have mandatory supervised quarantines. Not haphazard quarantines on the honor system. Thats not the way to deal with this serious disease. Lou yet that has been the course of the administration. Are you hopeful . Are you realistically hopeful that this administration will institute a mandatory quarantine or travel ban . I am hopeful. I think it should really push them over the edge into agreeing with governor Chris Christie that its just common sense. Putting a travel ban for any foreigners coming here, and if america has been exposed in any way, could have been exposed to ebola, they should be here for mandatory supervised 21 it contains. Lou now at the same time, Congress Taking up the issue of the restrictions that will be placed on our troops going overseas. Great concern about the fact that our troops are properly equipped and trained. That training period as we understand it for our troops will be four hours before going into western africa. And does that make sense to you . Dead. Sending an over three troops, very deadly disease endemic. But it just doesnt make sense. The purpose of this is not to do this kind of health care assistance. I just disagree with the president on this. I really feel that these troops, got the bed, will come down with ebola. Lou that is a concern, i believe, with millions of millions of americans, today a concern about the amount of time that our troops would be in quarantine before returning to this country. If you would listen to this Major General as he asked about it. The 10 days is to attempt to limit their possibility for exposure while they are in liberia. Once they have flown back to United States they will be given a 21 day Monitoring Time where they will be required, to the unit twice a day for medical checks. Lou question is why would our troops have only a 10 date 19 before returning to this country. Look, none of it makes sense. Thats the real problem and its common sense. The army shouldnt be over there doing this. It is humanitarian health care workers, they want to go over and volunteer, thats one thing, but without adequate protection, the stockpiling of drugs, thats what the commander general said, they are not stockpiling this for soldiers that are over there, its just not the right thing to do. Lou the department of health and Human Services spending 9. 5 billion on pandemic protective equipment. Another 6 on antiviral drugs and then it turns out that some of that beyond the Expiration Date what is going on here . The last thing that we needed we are at he had multiple agencies trying to deal with this in a discordant in that fashion and the last thing that we needed was to add another level of bureaucracy. Its only going to get worse before it gets better. Lou and the bull is our that has yet to speak up on the crisis that confronts us. Congressman andy harris, we thank you for being with us. Thank you. Lou more on the ebola crisis later in the broadcast. We will be talking more about it and a little bit. Stay with us. Attorney general eric holder says that he is exasperated over the grand jury leaks from ferguson, missouri. We will take that up and a great deal more with the attorney from Michael Browns family coming up next. I wish. Please, please, please, please, please. [ male announcer ] the wish we wish above all.

Lou eric holder upset about those leaks and a Justice Department saying that the attorney general is exasperated and as a result of the leaks we recently learned that karen wilson told investigators he was in fear of his life as he struggled over his gun. Revealing that he was inside the police car. He was shot in the hand at close range and the autopsy confirming that he had marijuana in his system. Joining us now is the attorney for the Michael Brown family. Its good to have you with us. Its great to have you here. The Washington Post reporting that seven or eight africanamerican witnesses have provided testimony consistent with the Police Officers account and none have spoken publicly out of fear for their safety. And what about that he is not likely to prosecute or indicted Darren Wilson during investigation . Is completely hearsay . Well, Michael Browns family has always been suspicious of this whole process. And they have asked to have a transparent where everyone can see all the witnesses and the evidence so that it can hopefully be Building Trust back in the local community. Having faith in this. Lou that is outside of a grand jury procedure and you have made a point that i think is compelling. That is that in most grand jury investigations as well, the prosecutor is recommending a course of action. That is to bring an indictment or they wouldnt reconvene the matter. In this case youre upset that the prosecutor did not recommend one way or the other what to do in the case as they presented the evidence. Is that correct . Yes, it goes outside of the traditional way that you prosecute. When they come, they are trying to elicit and suggest, to the grand jury, this is what we think happened and we are recommending this here. But they are not doing that here. The family wonders what have they said in the grand jury proceedings. Because if youre displaying everything out, jurors are not lawyers. They dont know what to do about all this since being put out of their. Until what we would rather it is that it can be not just for Michael Brown but everybody. We want the Police Officer to have his day in court as well. Lou hes having his day in court the grand jury, as you well know, examining this evidence with an eye towards prosecuting. You know, youre in a funny position here because one instance are talking about the prosecutors partiality, the impartiality because hes not recommending prosecution so youre arguing against that, that is also, if i may say, you know, a difficult perspective. What i think is the better courses that you need to bring a special prosecutor in situations like this. You have a local prosecutors and has a symbiotic relationship with the local Police Department and they worked all the time hand in handinhand, even this time the Police Officer has many cases where he is the star witness for this and now he is having to sit in judgment whether to indict him or not. So if so, he has to throw away the cases where he is the star witness. If he doesnt, you know, hes going to say did you do that just because of these other cases. Its an inherent conflict. Lou yes, an inherent conflict but at this point consistent, it would seem to me, with the evidence that has been weak in the testimony that has been the from the grand jury. If that holds to be the testimony of the evidence presented. Amongst those leaks that we have reported to the audience, which one is more disturbing to you and is there any one of the findings that you take issue with . When people weak stuff, they leak it for a reason. Im sure people one of two weeks up to help them, they would leak that is well enough the problem. That is why it should all be transparent. We want chimerical american criminal Justice System to be marveling at and nobody is proud of how this is going. I can assume a position here. It became a symbol of the shooting, the Police Shooting of Michael Brown. And so even though there was no evidence to that gesture that i would raise my hands or that he did before the police. There has been a great campaign. Lou im sorry . There were witnesses. I understand. But those were witnesses whose views were reported and not the witnesses that we are talking about before the grand jury necessarily. Seven africanamerican witnesses that confirmed precisely in so we know that it is a week. No question about that. Im just telling you what it suggests, nor nor do i condone social activists and attorneys general insidiously in my judgment, sewing even greater distrust in the legal system than would otherwise exist in the community. I am sure that that mustve set u. S. Well. With the leaks how do you trust the leak . Because people are saying that i got this inside, but i cant back it up. So the leaks are just inherently bad as well and we need transparency. Thats what we really need to have. Everybody needs to have confidence in the system. Lou hopefully and i know you have to be more frustrated on the brown family, the brown family has to be more frustrated than i am about the length of time that it has taken for this grand jury to complete its investigation, a separate civil rights investigation by the attorney general. This community and the family should have had this result just as quickly as possible. That is why a lot of people in this Civil Rights Community and Corporate America are pushing for a Police Officer to have on the cameras. So we dont have to go through all of this in the future. We can see what really happened from the video camera. Lou ironically the only camera working within that Convenience Store in which Michael Brown was reaching for some cigars and manhandling the employee of the establishment. Which wont be considered apparently. Come back and see us. Thank you, sir. The white house tonight rebuffed by the first choice to replace eric holder as attorney general. Refusing the president s request to consider replacing the controversial eric holder. A difficult process but she certainly didnt want to go through. Unnamed sources say that he was once the responsible for devising president obama to stay quiet on the ebola terrorist attacks, the big aussie terrorist attacks in his runup to the election in 2012. Judicial watch, new evidence says that it claims Valerie Jarrett helped orchestrate the coverup of the fast and furious run on a scandal and a detailed list of white house documents showing him reaching out to the attorney general, eric holder, the day after a damning report, showing that he was sent frequent memos 10 months before he claimed that he had learned about the candle over the last few weeks. Correspondent asked the attorney general today why he didnt hold anyone accountable for fast and furious. If you want to look at this objectively, that is my legacy when it comes to the fast and furious. The policies in place so that it can happen again and hold people accountable. No one was fired. These are people whose positions were moved and responsibilities were changed. So people were held accountable. People were moved and job descriptions changed. Emails also showing them discussing personnel issues in recent investigations and exactly what the not known. Documents are being withheld from congress and the public. Up next, new york city Police Officer is attacked by a hatchet. Just one day after a recent muslim convert shot up the Canadian Capital and killed a canadian soldier. I think at this point that this was an act of terrorism and it appears the that that was the suspect. Ogd we take this up coming up next. Two boyfriends. Three jobs. Youre like nothing can replace brad then Liberty Mutual calls. And you break into your happy dance. If you sign up for better car replacement, well pay for a car thats a model year newer with 15,000 fewer miles than your old one. See Car Insurance in a whole new light. Liberty mutual insurance.

Request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information, risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing. Lou 20 now is robert scales, a former commandant of the u. S. Army war college. General, its good to have you with us. Hello. He once let me quote, if i may, from the man who attacked those Police Officers in new york yesterday, when he had written on his Facebook Page and what she calls forth guerrilla warfare. He said if we can put this up for the audience to read along with me, please. Americas military, he says it is strong abroad. This they have never faced an internal mass revolt. They are weaker at home and we are scattered and decentralized, they are centralized and strong, which can be exploited as a weakness. What are your thoughts . That sounded like, to me, a reasonable analysis of the situation of bringing terrorism to bear against the superpower. I dont think theres any question about it. Nightmare scenario, survived is perhaps the government can flip and then is assaulted by these socalled terrorists to me, its just despicable. But we had to elevate our aim. The fact that all of these assaults against policemen and soldiers have occurred isnt coincidental because a lone wolf terrorist needs the moral authority to kill. And isis en
