Governors refuse to allow Syrian Refugees into their states. The rising resistance to president obamas insistence on bringing tens of thousands of refugees to america has forced the white house to hold a Conference Call tonight with the governors and no matter the outcome, it is already clear, president obama has again overstepped himself. All of our agencies will make every effort to vet every refugee coming into this country, from the databases to the interviews that those individuals are subject to, to the biometrics screening as well. Certainly there are challenges to that process because of the situation in syria. Lou just exactly what does every effort mean . Can the governors stop these refugees and this president .

The paris attacks have Many Americans wondering whether were any safer over the past year and a half . The fbi charged more than 60 people accused of ties to the Islamic State, but critics say fridays attack show the Obama Administration has underestimated the Islamic State throughout, and likely ignored both intelligence and military assessments of the strength and threat of the Islamic State. Now, our law fly,ing not only to understand the assessments but the actions taken or not taken by the commander in chief. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge with our report. Reporter the chairman of the House Homeland SecurityCommittee Says paris is part of the wider conspiracy with as many as 20 people involved. The available intelligence and recent repeats indicate the plot was masterminded by Abdelhamid Abaaoud. And a team of at least 8 carrying out the plan in paris. So its an expanding model. You have one person in syria directing through belgium to france, that could be here too, just like that, all encrypted. Reporter abaaoud is linked to the suspect in the august plot disrupted by three americans to gun down passengers on a train. He was taken into custody, a u. S. Government source says there was discussion among isis operatives by changing the way they communicate. On capitol hill, the attorney general Loretta Lynch said the fbi under her jurisdiction does all it can to deal with encrypted communications and agents use techniques to get around the problem. We rely on other means of gathering intelligence about the individuals, and their associates, but it does cause the loss of a valuable source of information. Reporter on Syrian Refugees and fears terrorists may infiltrate the flow, the House Speaker and other republicans are calling for a pause until more intelligence can be gathered. Containing isis is not enough. Defeating isis is necessary and we do not have the comprehensive plan in place. Reporter lynch says the u. S. Is better equipped to vet applicants. I would note we have the benefit of having that significant and robust screening process in place, a process that europe has not been able to set up, which renders them more vulnerable. I think well be vulnerable too when it comes to people from syria when we cant get access to the databases because the country is in disarray. Reporter at this hour on the hill, a highly classified briefing for the entire house, including the fbi director, Homeland Security secretary and the director of the National Counterterrorism center, set up after 9 11 as the hub for threat analysis. Lou Catherine Herridge. It is not only speaker ryan urging a stop to the Syrian Refugee Program. 33 governors, most republican, say they are opposed to taking in refugees amid heightened security concerns. The president S Deputy National security adviser insists that 10,000 refugees from syria will be properly vetted. We have very robust vetting procedures for those refugees, it involves our intelligence community, National Counterterrorism center, extensive interviews, vetting them against the available information. Lou other Administration Officials contradict rhodes. Theyve done so over recent weeks, referring to the difficulties if not impossibility of properly vetting refugees when there is no government to government relationship. Were not going to know a whole lot about the individual refugees that come forward from the u. N. High commission on refugees for resettlement and vetting. My concern is there are certain gaps. That i dont want to talk about publicly in the Data Available to us. I dont obviously put it past the likes of isil to infiltrate operatives among the refugees. Lou and one of the larger questions now, do Governors State officials have the authority to stop Syrian Refugees from residing in their states . Our legal panel on all of that later in the broadcast. Not only are governors revolting against the president s refugee plans, but leading republican candidates running for president are outraged as well. One of the immediate ways we must stop contributing to our problem is we need to stop the flow of Syrian Refugees into this country. We cannot vet them. We shouldnt be bringing potential terrorists into america. Refugees are pouring into our great country from syria. We dont even know who they are, they could be isis, could be anybody. Whats our president doing . Is he insane . Lou were coming right back, and with answers to many of those questions, among our top stories tonight, why would a president declare he would degrade and destroy an enemy and then seemingly forget about them for more than a year . Stay with us. Were back right after these words. House Speaker Paul Ryan proposes a pause in the Syrian Refugee Program until those refugees can be screened for terrorist ties. This is a moment where its better to be safe than to be sorry. Lou can the refugees be thoroughly veted . With the answers, congressman mo brooks joins us next. Alates airstrikes against Islamic State targets. Russia and france working together and they have a strategy. Where are we and what is our strategy . That and more coming up here next. Stay with us.

Because we should fit into your life. Not the other way around. Lou as we reported, House Speaker ryan called for a pause, as he put it on, the president s plan to admit Syrian Refugees into this country. This is a moment where its better to be safe than to be sorry. So we think the prudent, the responsible thing is to take a pause in this particular aspect of this Refugee Program in order to verify that terrorists are not trying to infiltrate the refugee population. Lou ryan and House Republican leaders havent taken emergency steps to strip obamas refugee initiative, they are trying to craft legislation that would stall or block the program this week. Lets find out right now what they are doing, for real, or not so real . Joining us our first guest, encouraged by the speakers call for a pause. Hes working to defund the Refugee Program, and joining us is congressman mo brooks, member of the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs committees. Congressman, good to have you with us. This pause now Mitch Mcconnell says he believes that there should be a pause, even senator chuck schumer, the minority leader of the senate, well, majority leader presumptive if they could get that done, they want to stop that as well. Are we actually going to see some success, you think, to do so . The only guaranteed path to success is if we take the defunding route. Lou right. We have in Congress Control of the purse. If we do not allow the money to be spent, and that takes affirmative action on our part, then it wont be spent, and the president cannot continue to undermine our National Security by importing these refugees, some number of which in all probability, terrorists will become terrorists. The path being advocated by Mitch Mcconnell and congressman hudson, i think its his bill, and paul ryan as House Speaker, is a path that has a couple of major problems with it. Im going support the bill, dont get me wrong, one problem is you have to get past the senate filibuster. The second problem is you have to have the president s consent, which is unlikely if he wants to bring the refugees in. Which means if the president vetoes the legislation, we have to have twothirds of the house and senate to override a president ial veto which means well have to have a whole lot of democrats who are willing to set aside their partisanship and election issues and instead focus on whats in the best interest of the country. So far weve not had enough democrats to help us override a single president ial veto. Lou i think as youre implying, congressman, youre not likely to get them, either. I hear these words, they come to us here on this broadcast with little bells going off all around them. When i hear the word pause instead of strip the funding and use the power of the first and the congress, i think why are they being so tepid . Why not speak with authority . Youd really have to ask the house leadership and the Senate Leadership why theyre not being more aggressive and taking the power of the Purse Strings approach which is 100 effective, and can be effective regardless of the president s position. We do have that power to withhold money, and then the president would have to cause us to firmly take the action to spend it. I would hope we would do that between now and december 11th when the continuing resolution to fund the government plays out and we have to pass a new spending bill. Thats when i think we ought to bring this to a head, and i think the American People are pretty strongly on our side as are a clear majority of the governor of the states on our side, and perhaps the Democrats Join us under those circumstances. That might be cause for rejoicing congressman, and other times, other days. But under this president and the makeup of this congress and this senate, the will of the people doesnt seem to be expressed the way the republicans promised it would and the elections of 2010 and 2012. No question, one of my biggest frustrations. We have a third of the republican conference that is fairly liberal, think like the democrats and join the democrats on major spending issues and policy issues and that undermines our ability to be successful in the house and the senate on a lot of legislation that the American People want and america needs. Congressman, youre supporting ted cruz. The president scolding those who would put up, as he called it, a religious test for admission to the Refugee Program, and islam in this country. Very quickly, your reaction, were already over time . I support ted cruz for president. Im his Alabama State chairman. But lets be clear, like it or not these are the facts. And the facts are that unfortunately all or almost all of the terrorism thats occurred around the globe over the last 10 or 20 years has involved people who are muslim and justify their murder and heinous conduct towards people based on religious faith. So i think we need to be much more careful with respect to this issue than we have been and not turn a blind eye to it as the president wants us to.
