Foreign policy with republican senator Jeff Sessions, billionaire publishing magnate Mort Zuckerman joins us tonight. And also the Hillary Clinton email scandal is worsening by the day. The fbi expanding its investigation into the scandal, including now a second private Technology Company and a second server. Were learning that some members of the clinton staff working for the former secretary of state feared they would be implicated in part of a coverup. And dr. Ben carson refuses to back away from his controversial remarks on how victims should respond in a mass shooting. Carson said he would have sacrificed his life to help stop last weeks deadly attack in oregon and that others should also consider trying to fight back. Much of the liberal media responding with cries of insensitivity, but donald trump backing up the doctor, saying the backlash against him is not fair. Well be talking about that with republican strategist ed rollins, and ill have a few thoughts as well tonight for the left and its insensitivity. Our top story tonight, the russians wasting no time in ratcheting up the level of their involvement in the syrian civil war, escalating the conflict by land, sea and air. Four russian warships launched Cruise Missiles that flew over iran and iraq before they mistook Islamic State territory. Russian fighter jets intercepted american predator drones at least three times over the past week. The russians did not attempt to shoot down those drones but sources say the russians wanted to make certainly their presence felt. That development threatens to further undermine the Obama Administrations faltering strategy in syria. Russia says its offensive is targeting the Islamic State, the United States says theyve been aimed mostly at bolstering syrian president bashar alassads regime. Defense secretary ash carter in italy today could only argue that russia has a misguided strategy but the Russian Military is bringing more destructive power to the conflict than has the United States. We believe russia has the strong strategy, they continue to hit targets that are not isil. We believe this is a fundamental mistake. Despite what the russians say. We have not agreed to cooperate with russia. Lou despite the defense secretarys criticism, the United States will conduct technical talks with russia to try to avoid incidents between u. S. And russian jet fighters, trying to assure the safety of u. S. Fighters in what are obviously crowded skies. Russia also at the center of a thriving black market, it turns out, for nuclear materials. An Associated Press investigation found the criminal organization some with ties to the agency that succeeded the russian kgb have been trying to sell Radioactive Material to Islamic State terrorists. Fox news correspondent Benjamin Hall in london with our report. Reporter a newly disclosed sting operation by moldovas police and the fbi has uncovered a smuggling ring operating in the back quarters of Eastern Europe offering to sell Radioactive Material. In february of this year, the network, which is said to include several exkgb agents offered a deadly amount of seizium to someone that represented isis. The plot was foiled. However the top men got away including the kingpin known as the colonel and no Additional Nuclear material was recovered. Members of the gang were recorded as saying it was essential smuggled uranium go to arabs, they would be most interested in buying the radioactive bombs and the american state must be annihilated. The Associated Press discovered the story from Eastern Europe and said undercover Moldovan Police arranged 20 meetings before quantifying test vials. He was happy with the material, he could buy a kiloa week at the same rate which is 32 Million Dollars every time, until he had as much as he needed, as well as the seizium, uranium and plutonium were offered. Even a Russian Missile system. The gang told undercover agents they gained access to the equipment in crimea annexed by president putin months earlier. Long said the black market for the materials exists in the region because of the vast quantities of exsoviet stockpiles and smugglers work freely. Intelligence officers have told us since the relationship between russia and the west deteriorated, it will become ever harder to work with them on this issue. Lou . Lou benjamin, thank you very much. Benjamin hall reporting from london. Turning to the race for the white house, donald trump keeps surprising members of the mainstream liberal media predicting his demise for weeks now. New polls out today show the republican frontrunner dominating rivals in criminal swing states. Chief Political Correspondent carl cameron has our report. Reporter in waterloo, iowa touting lead in the latest polls, donald trump urged security to go easy on hecklers. Dont hurt them, dont hurt them. Nonviolence, nonviolence. Reporter instead of his frequent derition of rivals offered rare albeit praise. Jeb bush announced, hes a nice person. The governor of ohio is a nice guy and doing a remarkable job. Reporter the insult free rhetoric come as polls show trump still ahead but burdened by high negatives. In florida trumps up double digits. Ben carson in second and marco rubios past jeb bush whos fallen to fourth. The others all in single digits. In pennsylvania other than trump and carson only rubio makes double digits. Trump leads and carsons closest in ohio where governor kasich is third and ted cruz and Carly Fiorina have traction, in all three bellwether swing states nearly a third of republicans would not support trump. His rivals signaling they fear trump less are dispersing their fire. On a threeday swing in iowa to ramp up emphasis on the caucus state, bush dismissed trump as a lightning rod for anger. You cant be the large voice in the room, disparaging people, calling people idiots. Reporter he zeroed in on rubio for missing senate votes including an important one on the pentagon yesterday. They should vote when theres a reauthorization of the defense bill, when were gutting the military, they should be there voting for this. Its important. The military men and women need our support right now. Reporter rubio toured a business in New Hampshire and defended his absenteeism. Im running for president , youre going to miss votes and miss time as other candidates had to do in the past. Reporter rubios not running for reelection and has missed more votes than fellow senators running for president. Rand paul missed the least but hes also running for the senate simultaneously. How long trumps civility will last is an open question, lou . Lou carl, thank you very much. Carl cameron. Turning to the democratic side, Hillary Clinton leading in key swing states but support erogued. Clinton performs best in the state of florida where she has 24 lead over Vice President biden. In ohio clinton has a comfortable 14point lead over biden. Numbers are troublesome in pennsylvania, 36 support, 9point decline from august. And another problem, about 60 of voters surveyed in the swing states say she is not honest and she is not trustworthy. Thats likely because of everunfolding email scandals, the fbi is look into a second i. T. Company involved in backing up mrs. Clintons server or servers. Newly discovered emails show an employee for Platte River Networks was concerned he might be implicated in a coverup. Workers were reportedly instructed to reduce the length of time backups of her emails were saved on the server. Employee was so concerned, so suspicious, he wrote a colleague that the move was, quote, covering up some shady stuff. Were coming right back. The Obama Administration bringing tens of thousands of Syrian Refugees into this country. So why dont the communities in which theyll live have a say in the matter . And on the issue of immigration, is it time to freeze immigration levels altogether . We take up those issues with leading republican senator Jeff Sessions here next. The rain has stopped in south carolina, but theres more flooding. The death toll is rising. Well have the latest video and well have the latest video and the you cant breathed. Through your nose.

Yet another innovation only at a sleep number store. Lou our first guest tonight says the Obama Administrations plan to bring as many as 200,000 refugees into this country imposes enormous costs on an American Public already struggling with low pay, rising crime, high deficits and resources. Joining us now senator Jeff Sessions, member of several key committees including budget, Armed Services and the judiciary, senator, good to have you with us. Thank you. Lou lets begin, if we may, Hillary Clinton has come out opposed to the plan on the transpacific partnership, and i assume stunning the administration which they thought they had her support, youve been opposed to it throughout. Is there any way to stop what looks to being a fait accompli now . I think it is, lou. I think theres only a switch of five or six votes in the house of representatives would kill it. I think hillarys move will certainly mean fewer democrats will vote for, it though she was involved in the negotiations. I dont think shes feeling public pressure, and thats why she made this decision, but perhaps other politicians likewise will feel public pressure. They are not even asserting, lou, that wages will go up, that the trade deficit will be reduced or that jobs will be created. And this is because its not going to be good in all those factors. Well have an increased trade deficit. Well have a decline in manufacturing jobs and wages if this goes forward. Lou and on the issue of immigration, built into the plan, i know youve read it but no ones read apparently all of it. Tribunals that would arbitrate decisions rather than courts in these trading in the countries of these trading partners, the 12. Clear loss of sovereignty and power and influence over our national destiny. Why in the world would anybody support this . I dont know. I think people have not understood this sufficiently. Lot of people just think free trade agreements are good, but each one should be evaluated carefully, and these International Tribunals are not good. We had at least a bilateral trade agreement with korea. We didnt create a whole new commission that meets regularly. Can change its rules, and impose new rules. I think that is highly dangerous. And the last thing we should be doing at this point in time. The administration insists on bringing in suddenly 200,000 Syrian Refugees, refugees from the region. This is extraordinary, and without consultation with the congress, unilaterally making this decision. Were now starting to see considerable resistance form among local governments where the Syrian Refugees are to be deposited, if you will. The local governors and mayors are saying wait a minute, will they be successful . I think the local governments need to speak up, and we need to put the pressure on. The administration has to consult and talk with congress at least the judiciary committees, but it does not have to is not bound in any way on the number. They can choose the number they want, and its going to be way high, and this is highly expensive, nobody ever counts the cost to local governments in schools and hospital emergency room visits and those kind of things, and also every refugee, unlike most of the immigrants that come to america are immediately allowed to get any welfare benefit, basically that citizens get. They the Heritage Foundation estimating a cost of 10 per thousand refugees, about 6. 5 billion dollars. Very large numbers. Let me turn, if i may, to donald trump. You counseled donald trump on a number of issues, including immigration, on international trade. To what degree do you believe he has followed your counsel, and are there some areas where you would like to further the tutorial . Well, for a long time, i understand, hes been a critic of the trade policy of the United States thinking it hurts American Workers in manufacturing. I did share with him my thoughts in the years of work weve done on immigration, and a great deal of it actually is included in his policies. He would make the situation much better. So i have praised his immigration policy. I think it has many good points. Lou includeing excuse me, immigration policies. Lou including the great big wall, how does he describe it . A big beautiful door. Senator Jeff Sessions, always good to have you here, thank you very much, appreciate it. Good to be with you. Lou senator Jeff Sessions. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight wed like to hear from you, cast your vote at loudobbs. Com. If you want to connect with me on social media follow me on twitter breaking news now, the sun has set along the east coast, meaning the coast guard officially abandoned search for survivors from the cargo ship el faro presumed sunk. The container ship last detected off the bahamas last week, 33 mariners aboard during Hurricane Joaquin which grew to a category 4 hurricane. Investors turning attention to finding the ships data recorder, if they possibly can. Residents along south carolinas coast tonight bracing for a second round of flooding as water from swollen creeks and rivers make their way toward the atlantic ocean, governor nikki haley warning officials are watching the situation closely and more evacuations may, may be required along the coast. At least 17 people in the carolinas have died because of the weeks devastating flooding. Up next, a few thoughts on the backlash against dr. Ben carson because he said folks might consider fighting back against armed attackers when the lives of others are at stake. And a burglar botching a breakin in spectacular fashion. Well have that story and that video for you right here next. Stay with us. trader vo i search. I research. I dig. And dig some more. Because, for me, the challenge of the search. Is almost as exciting as the thrill of the find. announcer at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. Thats why we rebuilt scottrade elite from the ground up including a proprietary momentum indicator that makes researching sectors and Industries Even easier. Because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours. Lou welcome back, a few thoughts on the outrage of liberals and leftists in this country, particularly in the media. Republican president ial candidate dr. Ben carson was asked about last weeks shooting at Umpqua Community college in oregon. The doctor was asked what he would do in that situation. Heres what he said. Not only would i probably not cooperate with them, i would not just stand there and let him shoot me. I would say hey guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me but cant get us all. Lou and the lame liberal National Mainstream media, hitting dr. Carson hard for his comments, accusing him of insensitivity to the families of the victims. But the republican candidate today defended his remarks and here he is. I want to plant in peoples minds what to do in a situation like this because unfortunately this is probably not going to be the last time this happens. The shooter can only shoot one person at a time. He cannot shoot a whole group of people. So the idea is overwhelm him so not everybody gets killed. Lou dr. Carson acknowledged he didnt know about chris mince, the army veteran who rushed the shooter in oregon, he suffered a number of gunshot wounds as he tried to keep the door closed against the gunmans intrusion to save the students. Mintzs actions verifies what im saying and thats exactly what should be done. Donald trump came to carsons defense, somewhat unexpectedly in the minds of america is not me, but some. He wrote this in his tweet who should be offended by dr. Carsons remarks anyway . And why would anyone take seriously the media and political hacks who hammer dr. Carson seek only political advantage . Carson was expressing what he would do in like circumstances, or hopes he would do. Truth is none of us knows for sure how we will act in every threatening moment, much depends how well trained a person is, whether by nature or governed by fight or flight and how well we can overcome our nature. In discovering how he or she wi
