FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight December 7, 2015

The fbi still looking at the couples links to terror. Last month isis claimed credit for the massacre in paris, 130 people died in coordinated suicide bombings and shootings across the city. The attacks show how isis has expappeded et cetera reach, no longer confined syria and iraq. Now able to launch deadly attacks truly around the world. Polls now show that terrorism is the top concern for voters this election season. The president s critics pounced on his comments before the paris attack that isis was contained. Were told in tonights address, the president will attempt to reassure americans of his strategy to take out isis. We also expect the president to speak about the broader threat of terror both here at home and with our allies abroad. So now the president of the United States from the oval office. Good evening. On wednesday 14 americans were killed as they came together to celebrate the holidays. They were taken from family and friends who love them deeply. They were asian and black, latino. Moms and dads, daughters and sons. Each of them serve their fellow citizens. All of them were part of our american family. Tonight i want to talk with you about this tragedy, the broader threat of terrorism, and how we can keep our country safe. The fbi is still gathering the facts about what happened in San Bernardino, but heres what we know. The victims were brutally murdered and injured by one of their coworkers and his wife. So far we have no evidence that the killers were directed by a terrorist organization overseas or that they were part of a broader conspiracy here at home, but it is clear that the two of them had gone down the dark path of radicalization, embracing a preveteraned idea of islam that calls for war against the west. They had stockpiled assault weapons, ammunition, approximate pipe bombs. This is an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people. Our nation has been at war with terrorists since al qaeda killed nearly 3,000 americans on 9 11. In the process weve hardened our defenses from airports to Financial Centers to other critical infrastructure. Intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies have disrupted countless plots here and overseas and worked around the clock to keep us safe. Our military and counterterrorism professionals have relentlessly pursued terrorist networks overseas, disrupting safe havens in several different countries, killing Osama Bin Laden and decimating al qaedas leadership. Over the last few years, however, the terrorist threat has evolved into a new phase. As weve become better at preventing complex multifacetted attacks like 9 11, terrorists turn to less complicated acts of violence like the Mass Shootings that are all too common in our society. It is this type of attack that we saw at fort hood in 2009 and chattanooga earlier this year and now in San Bernardino. As groups like isil grew stronger amidst of chaos of war in iraq and syria and as the internet erases the distance between countries, we see growing efforts by terrorists to poison the minds of people like Boston Marathon bombs and the San Bernardino killers. For seven years i have confronted this evolving threat each and every morning in my intelligence briefing, and since the day i took this office, i have authorized u. S. Forces to take out terrorists abroad precisely because i know how real the danger is. As commander in chief i have no greater responsibility than the security of the American People. As a father to two young daughters who are the most precious part of my life, i know that we see ourselves with friends and coworkers at a Holiday Party like the one in San Bernardino. I know we see our kids and the faces of the young People Killed in paris, and i know that after so much war Many Americans are asking whether we are confronted by a cancer that has no immediate cure. Well, heres what i want you to know. The threat from terrorism is real, but we will overcome it. We will destroy isil and any other organization that tries to harm us. Our success wont depend on tough talk or abandoning our values or giving into fear. Thats what groups like isil are hoping for. Instead we will prevail by being strong and smart, resilient and relentless, and by drawing upon every aspect of american power. Heres how. First our military will continue to hunt down terrorist plotters in any country where it is necessary. In iraq and syria, air strikes are taking out isil leaders. Heavy weapons, oil tankers, infrastructure. And since the attacks in paris are, our closest allies, including france, germany, and the united kingdom, have ramped up their contributions to our military campaign, which will help us accelerate our effort to destroy isil. Second, we will continue to provide training and equipment to tens of thousands of iraqi and Syrian Forces fighting isil on the ground so that we take away their safe havens. In both countries were deploying special Operations Forces who can accelerate that offensive. Weve stepped up this effort since the attacks in paris and will continue to invest more in approaches that are working on the ground. Third, were working with friends and allies to stop isils operations to disrupt plots, cut off their financing, and prevent them from recruiting more fighters. Since the attacks in pair, weave surged intelligence sharing with our european allies. Were working with turkey to seal its border with syria and we are cooperating with muslim majority countries and with our muslim communities here at home to counter the vicious ideology that isil promotes online. Fourth, with American Leadership the International Community has begun to establish a process and timeline to pursue ceasefires and a political resolution to the syrian war. Doing so will allow the Syrian People and every country, including our allies, but also countries like russia, to focus on the common goal of destroying isil. A group that threatens us all. This is our strategy to destroy isil. It is designed and supported by our military commanders and counterterrorism experts. Together with 65 countries that have joined an americanled coalition. We constantly examine our strategy to determine when additional steps are needed to get the job done. Thats why ive ordered the departments of state and Homeland Security to review the Visa Waiver Program under which the female terrorist in San Bernardino originally came to this country, and thats why i would urge hightech and leaders to make it harder for terrorists to use technology to escape from justice. Now, here at home we have to Work Together to address the challenge. There are several steps that congress should take right away. To begin with, congress should act to make sure no one on a no fly list is able to buy a gun. What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terror suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon. It is a matter of national security. We also need to make it harder for people to buy powerful assault weapons like the ones that were used in San Bernardino. I know there are some who reject any gun safety measures, but the fact is that our intelligence and Law Enforcement agencies no matter how effective they are cannot identify every wouldbe mass shooter, whether that individual is motivated by isil or some other hateful ideology. What we can do and must do is make it harder for them to kill. Next, we should put in place stronger screening for those who come to america without a visa so that we can take a hard look at whether theyve traveled to war zones, and were working with members of both parties in congress to do exactly that. Finally, if congress believes, as i do, that we are at war with isil, it should go ahead and vote to authorize the continued use of military force against these terrorists. For over a year i have ordered our military to take thousands of air strikes against isil targets. I think its time for congress to vote to demonstrate that the American People are united and committed to this fight. My fellow americans, these are the steps that we can take together to defeat the terrorist threat. Let me now say a word about what we should not do. We should not be drawn once more into a long and costly ground war in iraq or syria. Thats what groups like isil want. They know they cant defeat us on the battlefield. Isil fighters were part of the insurgency that we faced in iraq, but they also know that if we occupy foreign lands, they can maintain insurgencies for years, killing thousands of our troops and draining our resources and using our presence to draw new recruits. The strategy that we are using now, air strikes, special forces, and working with local forces, who are fighting to regain control of their own country, that is how well achieve a more sustainable victory. It wont require us sending a new generation of americans overseas to fight and die for another decade on foreign soil. Heres what else we cannot do. We cannot turn against one another by letting this fight be defined as a war between america and islam. That, too, is what groups like isil want. Isil does not speak for islam. They are thugs and killers, part of a cult of death, and they account for a tiny fraction of a more than a billion muslims around the world, including millions of patriotic muslimamericans who reject their hateful ideology. Moreover, the vast majority of terrorist victims around the world are muslim. If were to succeed in defeating terrorism, we must enlist muslim communities as some of our strongest allies rather than push them away to suspicion and hate. That does not mean denying the fact that an extremist ideology has spread within some muslim communities. Theres a real problem that muslims must confront without excuse. Muslim leaders here and around the globe have to continue working with us to decisively and inekwifically reject the hateful ideology for groups that isil and al qaeda promote. To speak out against not just acts of violence, but also interpretations that islam that are incompatible with the values of religious tolerance, mutual respect, and Human Dignity. But just as it is the responsibility of muslims around the world to rout out misguided ideas that lead to radicalization, it is the responsibility of all americans of everything to reject discrimination. It is our responsibility to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country. Its our responsibility to reject proposals that muslimamericans should somehow be treated differently because when we travel down that road, we lose. That kind of divisiveness, that betrayal of our values plays into the hands of groups like isil. Muslimamericans are our friends and our neighbors. Our coworkers, our sports heroes. Yes, they are our men and women in uniform who are willing to die in defense of our country. We have to remember that. My fellow americans, i am confident we will succeed in this mission because we are on the right side of history. We were founded upon a belief in Human Dignity that no matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or what religion you practice, you are equal in the eyes of god and equal in the eyes of the law. Even in this political season, even as we properly debate away steps i and future president s must take to keep our country safe, lets make sure we never forget what makes us exceptional. Lets not forget that freedom is more powerful than fear. That we have always met challenges whether at war or depression, natural disasters or terrorist attacks, by coming together around our common ideals as one nation and one people. So long as we stay true to that tradition, i have no doubt that america will prevail. Thank you. God bless you, and may god bless the United States of america. President obama live tonight from the oval office. Analysis begins now on Fox News Channel on satellite and cable. On this fox station and all new comedy lineup is next in its entirety on the east coast and in the central time zone, the simpsons starts now. Im shepherd smith, fox news new york. From all investigations. It lays out the eight provocations named at japan it get them to attack us at pearl harbor. One of those provocations was to keep the u. S. Fleet in hawaii. Oliver youre not suggesting that mccollum was advocating that the japanese bomb the Pacific Fleet at pearl harbor. Im suggesting that the Pacific Fleet was kept at pearl harbor as a lure to the Japanese Carrier force. Oliver to say that were not going to take the first overt act does not say we want you to bomb pearl harbor. Well, yes, it does. If he says, we have to create more ado. Thats his words, create ado, if we do that, then that would cause japan to commit the first overt act of war. Oliver his memo is addressed to Navy Captains Walter Anderson and dudley knocks, only knox initialed the document indicating hed seen it. What does he do with the memo. Trace . We cant trace it, i havent within able to trace it. Ive gone to the National Archives and retrieved the memo because i thought it was of great stition. Theres no indication that roosevelt did see it . No, it was compelling, incredible indication. Oliver theresening that shows in the document. Absolutely right, no initials. Stinnett is willing to take the great liam and assume that roosevelts got it. Mccollum can never place the document in roosevelts hands. Oliver and those who speak to this as smoking gun say that all out of the recommendations are carried out. Yes, and some were carried out before the memorandum was written. Oliver its common place then as it is today for officers to write intelligence think pieces. On 7 february, 1941, award board the uss pennsylvania, admiral Husband E Kimmel was sworn in as commander of the Pacific Fleet. Protection of the fleet while in port was responsibility of the newly appointed commander of the hawaii department, general walter short. Hes in charge of army and Army Air Corps forces, while the fleet is in port to be protected by Army Resources. Oliver kimmel wasnt fully confident that the Army Resources could protect his fleet. He knew all of the shortcomings of course of the pearl harbor compound out there and had prepared a lengthy estimate with admiral richardson of what needed to be done to improve that. Oliver kimmel did, however, feel he could rely on his personal friends admiral stark and ingersoll for report. When my grandfather got the job he says the reason i took the job, i was convinced that that friendship and their professionalism would ensure that i was kept properly and timely informed of all important developments. Oliver u. S.

One of many pieces in my life. So when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my longterm control medicine, i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.

As admiral kimmel watched over pearl harbor, general Douglas Macarthur monitored the japanese from the philippines, both men depended on crucial intelligence about the japanese, gathered in washington and corrigador. In washington d. C. , a team from the armys Intelligence Service led by 32yearold cryptologist, worked for 18 months to break what was called the purple code, the decoded messages were dubbed magic. Magic becomes one of the most powerful sources intelligence that we have during the war. Oliver youre looking at one of the original eight magic machines. The army and november kept two each in washington d. C. Three were sent to churchills special Intelligence Service and one was sent to the philippines for macarthur. General macarthur had magi
