FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight September 25, 2015

Workers, and there are new warnings tonight that the number of workers affected by those attacks may be significantly higher than has been revealed to this point. We take up chinas attacks with cybersecurity experts Bruce Parkman and steve bucci. Also tonight, you are looking at live pictures of new york st. Patricks cathedral, where pope francis will lead a Prayer Service this evening. The pope in new york city after going decidedly political in the first ever papal address to a joint meeting of congress. The pontiff calling upon americans to embrace Illegal Immigrants. This, from the leader of vatican city, which is extremely selective about those who are allowed to reside within its high, thick walls. We take up the pope, his message, his likely influence on american politics. And new gop president ial polling shows Donald Trump Holding the lead thats made him the frontrunner since early july, but his numbers are slipping slightly. Dr. Ben carson, Carly Fiorina are on the rise in the latest quinnipiac polling. Well have the latest numbers and analysis for you tonight. Our top story, the president s pivot to asia goes on. President obama tonight under significant pressure to get tough on china as he holds a private dinner with chinese president xi jinping. In recent weeks weve seen a number of provocations by china, a troubling alliance with russia, aggression in the South China Sea and large scale cyberattacks against the government and American Intellectual property. But White House Press secretary josh earnest was demure when asked if the office of Personnel Management cyberattack would come up. I dont want to prejudge any of their conversations, and youre right that we havent publicly made any pronouncements, about who may have been responsible for that particular incident. The work of our investigators continues, and there are some some conclusions they have drawn that have been aired publicly, but nothing that we have, you know, made a pronouncement about. Lou well, the president almost made a pronouncement, he was more forceful than ernest when he reminded everyone of what he told the Business Roundtable last week. We are preparing a number of measures that will indicate to the chinese that this is not just a matter of us being mildly upset, but is something that will put significant strains on the bilateral relationship if not resolved and that we are prepared to take some kind of availing actions. Lou no sanctions announced as the white house weighs exactly how to deal with china. Its been nearly four years since the administration announced it was pivoting to asia. Fox news chief washington correspondent james rosen with our report. Reporter on her first overseas travel, secretary of state Hillary Clinton toured the far east, part of a much ballyhooed pivot to asia or strategic rebalancing as the Obama Administration called it. Nearly seven years later, the u. S. Remain preoccupied with isis in syria and iraq and implementation of the iran nuclear dealhat consumed much of the last two years. Whatever happened to the tippett to asia . Is that happening . The asia region is very much alive, and i think youre going to see that reflected in the discussions with president xi here tomorrow. Five of our seven treaty alliances are in the pacific region, and we take those Alliance Commitments very, very seriously. Reporter pentagon Officials Say the next two years will see two more destroyers dispatched to japan and submarine station in guam. Russias incursion curbed the attempt at rebalancing. The strategy is still good, we just to recognize there are additional threats out there that we didnt expect. Reporter critics say the Obama Administration has poorly funded the state departments east asian bureau and cite muted complaints from allies that problems like north korea are not receiving highlevel attention in washington. There were initial small steps, including 1200 marines to australia. It is true, however, that since then there hasnt been that much more in the way of positive addition. Reporter whether or not the pivot to asia was salesmanship than substance, china is the great regional concern well into the future beyond the obama era and there, the challenge for u. S. Policy makers will be not to categorize china as friend or foe but to know there will be both and how to tell the difference. James rosen, fox news. Lou russias growing concerns now over the military buildup in syria. The Russian Defense ministry announcing it will hold naval drills later this month in the eastern mediterranean, possibly near the coastline of syria. The drills will involve the guided missile cruiser but russia denies planning strikes against the Islamic State forces in syria. Russias buildup is sure to be on the agenda when president obama meets with russian president putin next week during the u. N. General assembly session. President obama and putin havent met in person since brief encounters at asian economic summit almost a year ago. Pope francis is now in new york city, the second leg of his u. S. Tour. The pontiff has a full schedule on his first visit to the city. Evening prayers at st. Patricks cathedral, he will address World Leaders at the United Nations tomorrow. Earlier today, the pope addressed our leaders urging congress to abolish the death penalty, to fight global warming, and to embrace Illegal Immigrants. Fox news correspondent Shannon Bream with our report [ applause ] reporter pope francis made History Today becoming the first pontiff to address a joint meeting of congress, touching on subjects from poverty and Climate Change and urging lawmakers not to look away from the millions of refugees flooding across europes borders as well as immigrants streaming to america. We need to have a common decision to discuss whatever problems are. Reporter while he did not speak specifically about abortion, the pope did emphasize the sanctity of life. The golden rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development. [ applause ] reporter then followed up that statement by calling for an end to the death penalty. House speaker john boehner, a lifelong catholic who invited the pope to address congress was visually emotional throughout the capitol hill visit, calling it a blessing, adding let us all go forth with gratitude and reflect how we can better serve one another. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi also a catholic said, quote, he challenged us to rescue our planet from the Climate Crisis that threatens the future of our children and the health of gods creation, and to do so sensitive to the needs of the poor. Instead of joining lawmakers for lunch, the pope decided to serve others blessing a meal for and meeting with hundreds at a center for needy residents. Hes had a jampacked public schedule, a private meeting is getting plenty of attention, especially in light of these words from president obama earlier on wednesday. Here in the United States, we cherish religious liberty. Reporter the pontiff met with members of the Little Sisters of the poor engaged in a highprofile legal battle with the administration over Obamacare Mandate that employers provide cost free access to various methods of birth control. The white house declined to speculate whether the pope intended for the meeting to send a message. This particular case does illustrate the lengths to which the administration has gone to protect for religious liberty, while at the same time protecting access to health care that millions of women rely upon. Reporter as for how the Little Sisters of the poor viewed their meeting with the pope, one put it very simply, we were deeply moved by his encouraging words. Lou, back to you. Shannon, thank you so much. Shannon bream. In the race for the white house, a new quinnipiac poll shows donald trump and Hillary Clinton still leading their respective parties.

Lou pope francis taking a political agenda to Congress Today addressing the distribution of wealth, Climate Change, also essentially calling for open borders. He said, quote the vatican, for its part, welcomes millions of visitors every year, but only allows a very few select persons who meet very strict criteria to be admitted as residents or citizens of vatican city, the most, the strictest, the strictest immigration policies in the world. Only about 450 of its 800 or so residents holds citizenship, thats according to a study by the library of congress. And joining me now, politics reporter for the daily beast, Betsy Woodruff, good to have you, and the host of the chris plante show. Good to have you. Hi, lou. Lou betsy, the popes call to not be impressed by the large numbers of Illegal Immigrants crossing our borders, who somewhere calling for us to confer citizenship upon but to be impressed by their stories. Were you surprised how political the message was . You know to be honest i really wasnt. The pope has been very, very open and explicit how much he supports immigration. When he was driving through d. C. , a fiveyearold girl whose parents are undocumented immigrants broke through the security line, he waved her up and gave her a hug in the popemobile. Lou wait a minute, wait a minute, betsy, are you telling me you thought that was a spontaneous, unscripted, unplanned moment which a fiveyearold girl defeated the fierce forces of vatican security and reached the pope . I would be floored if vatican pr ever tried to set up anything to push their particular narrative of the day, right . Lou thank you, betsy, chris . This is on purpose. Lou well, it was a wonderful piece of theatrics, little more than, was it, chris . Well, it was. Setting that aside, what the pope was addressing. Lou you want to set that aside, dont you . She was staged by whomever it was staged, it was staged. But if the pope wants an explanation as to why people are fleeing from the south to the north, theyre trying get to a more free market economy, and getting away from socialistic economies which cannot sustain them, employ them, feed their children, and so on. We take in more immigrants than all other countries combined. We are a nation of immigrants, a million new citizens every year, and by the way, were more than 18 trillion in debt dealing with poverty, were a generous country. The most generous in the world, and id love to sit down with the pope for an hour or so and give them a few of my thoughts on the subject. Lou well, the pope is probably i dont know what hes aware of, but when people look to the United States to distribute its wealth, they need to understand that about 19 trillion. Almost 19 trillion of our wealth is built up on debt, debt that from borrowing money from others, so effectively our generosity is depending utterly dependent on the chinese being generous with their credit that they extend to us. This is madness, this presumption that we have unending wealth, that there is no limit to what we can squander in this country, and the idea that a vatican with very high walls, very thick walls around it, would suggest that there simply be open borders is well, its something we should say to the pontiff is simply tear down those walls, lead us by example, dont you think . Betsy . Yeah, i mean i think thats absolutely a valid point. What struck me about his speech, going back to chris point, people freeing from government, socialist economies, the most radical part of his speech wasnt the immigration section, it was the fact one of the four american heroes he listed was dorothy day, envowed socialist, cf1 o catholic, she deposed the United States entering world war ii, within orthodox catholicism, you are going to have trouble finding someone who follows the churches teachings, the fact he praised her thats radical. Thats a big deal. Lou i thought frankly it was interesting people thought it wasnt as political a speech as it might have been. I found it extraordinarily political, and especially speaking to a joint session of congress. What did you think, chris . Well, it was very political, he hit on a lot of issues, some of which the democrats and the news media, i repeat myself, are seizing on to advance their own agenda. He spoke to matters of life and family and marriage, and a variety of other things that liberals would not agree with him on and not highlighted on the front pages of tomorrows newspapers, i can assure you. Socially and economically, it seems fairly clear that pope francis as, look, many popes have been in the past, he likes to frame it in the context of charity, but its very socialistic. Lou yeah, and by the way, lets turn very quickly to these polls, not much surprise from the democratic side, some surprise on the republican. Trump leads as he has for the past 2, 2 1 2 months. Republican party. But some slippage betsy and some rise on the part of dr. Ben carson and Carly Fiorina. Your view, very quickly . Absolutely, it certainly is not an awesome poll number for trump. What struck me of the top four republicans in the poll, all three beat Hillary Clinton in a headtohead matchup except for donald trump. The entire point of his candidacy is win, win, win, no matter what, if hes not beating hillary, thats tricky, it doesnt look good. Lou the last word, chris . A lot of the candidates have picked up a few points. The points had to come from somewhere, likely to come from donald trump. Looks like they have. Not a large number of points, and hillary will get out of the race and joe biden will get. In shes the most awful candidate in modern times and will eventually be abandoned by the democrats and kicked to the curb once again. You are breaking the hearts of millions of republicans across the country. [ laughter ] well still have joe. Lou betsy and chris, thank you, both. Thank you. Lou breaking news right now, fed chair janet yellen, yellen abruptly ended her economic speech she was delivering in massachusetts a short time ago, as you see here at the podium. She required emergency medical conclusion at the end of her speech, the Federal Reserve says she is okay, were told she was lightheaded, dehydrated after a long speech under bright lights. After a few sips of water, yellen felt fine and is back on the normal schedule for the remainder of the evening, but she did require medical attention. A reminder, always that we should hydrate. Be sure to vote in tonights poll, do you find it concerning that president obama has come to terms with the iranians but not the russians nor the chinese. Cast your vote at loudobbs. Com. Two daredevils capturing heart stopping video that you have to see to believe, so this is where you are. Seeing is believing. Watch as skilled wingsuiters jump off the cliffs of france and avoid disastrously close to mountains and those are trees, folks, my gosh is that close a death defying fete if weve ever seen it. Videoed on a gopro camera. The men were trying to fly aggressively, i would put them down as a on aggression. Wow up next, a few thoughts on the lack of leadership in washington, d. C. , and a
