FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight February 18, 2016

They possibly can. A new wall street journal nbc poll shows ted cruz leading trump by two points nationally. But i hasten to add the poll has a nearly 5 margin of error, it is either an outlier, no other poll remotely resembling this among the polls or captured a trend none of the National Polls snuj their numbers. So for now, it appears its trump and his supporters against the world or at least its them against the established order of things politically. But no matter how powerful his attackers to this point in the campaign, attacks like these have only served to further boost trumps support. I continue to believe mr. Trump will not be president , and the reason is because i have a lot of faith in the American People. And i think they recognize that being president is a serious job. He has done such a lousy job as president. [cheers] you look at our budgets, you look at our spending, we cant beat isis, obamacare is terrible, were going to terminate it, were going to absolutely terminate and replace it. [applause] you look at everything, our borders are like swiss cheese. Lou trump will be holding a rally this hour in sumter, South Carolina, well be going there bringing to you live as it happens. Also tonight, vatican officials firing back at trump because he criticized pope francis visit to the u. S. Mexico border. Trump saying the pope is too political and should stay out of american president ial politics. The vatican saying people have a duty to host those who come from other countries in search of a better life. That back and forth as the pontiff celebrates a controversial mass at the border. Well take all of that up with former reagan political director ed rollins, republican strategist matt schlapp and the Washington Examiner Sarah Westwood. And ill have a few thoughts on the backlash against apple for its refusal to ask to do as the fbi asked to unlock the cell phone of one of the San Bernardino terrorists. Critics say apple is jeopardizing National Security to protect the rights of two dead radical islamist jihadists. Our top story, the heated republican race for the white house. Trump threatening a defamation lawsuit against his opponent ted cruz. Trump angry about a disparaging campaign ad showing trump is prochoice. Fox news chief Political Correspondent carl cameron has our report. Reporter South Carolina governor nikki haley endorsed marco rubio for president tonight. A big get for the senator from florida. In a bitter battle with ted cruz and battling for second in South Carolina, while a new poll nationally suggests ted cruz has taken the lead over donald trump. And boy, the trumpcruz battle is vicious. Ted cruz summoned the media for a News Conference to taunt donald trump. The bullying is not going to work here. Reporter cruz is daring the frontrunner to make good on his threat to sue. At issue, a trump ad that uses his own words against him. Im very prochoice. But you would never ban it. No. Or ban partialbirth abortion. Im prochoice in every respect. Reporter cruz is responding in kind. Even in the annals of frivolous lawsuits this takes the cake, donald, i encourage you, if you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad, claiming it is defamation, file the lawsuit. Reporter trump in a statement said, quote cruz is calling trumps bluff, relishing the chance to depose him under oath. Ill point out it didnt work out very well for bill clinton. Donald trump does not want to be under oath answering questions about his own record. Reporter the latest South Carolina poll shows trump with a commanding lead and cruz and rubio locked in a virtual tie for second. John kasich and jeb bush are running out of time in the First Southern primary. An actor playing a candidate in effect. He doesnt believe what he says. Nothing in his past that would suggest hes a conservative, and morphed into this person that is shifting with the winds. Reporter the race is more volatile than ever. Trump has biggest lead yet in a quinnipiac poll and in a wall street journal nbc poll cruise has taken over the lead. Marco rubio at 17 , john kasich at 11, carson 10 and jeb bush 4. Rubio aggressively attacking cruz. Ted has proven hes willing to say or do anything to get elected. Reporter whenever anyone points to their actual record, the response of both donald trump and marco rubio is to yell the word liar. They really they lie, and the reason i can say that nicely is rubio called him a liar also. Reporter haleys endorsement of rubio in South Carolina is a big get and comes three days before the first primary, and polls suggest more than a third of voters may still change their minds. Lou . Lou carl cameron. On the democratic side, its three days until the caucuses in nevada. A state once considered as Hillary Clintons fire wall to stop Bernie Sanders. Clinton aides expecting sanders to do well in states like iowa and New Hampshire which are more than 90 white, but clintons fire wall appears to be crumbling and victories in nevada and South Carolina are not suddenly a sure thing for clinton. Fox news chief White House Correspondent ed henry is in las vegas with our report. Reporter for the second straight time, the quinnipiac poll Shows Hillary clinton in a dead heat nationally with Bernie Sanders. You are nobodys fire wall. Reporter sanders had a huge rally of nearly 5,000 people at moorhouse, the historically black college. Where nina turner who flipped from clinton to sanders declared to fellow africanamericans. We built this country the sweat and the tears of black folk built this country, and we aint nobodys fire wall [cheers] you got to earn our vote, you dont own our vote. Reporter clinton still has a big doubledigit lead in South Carolina, where democrats vote february 27th. Though she first has to get through nevada this saturday, and the same poll shows a dead heat with clinton leading sanders by one point. Clinton spokesman brian fallon tried to downplay expectations in nevada by saying its a state that is 80 white voters. That angered senior senator harry reid who secured the first in the west caucus by touting that the hispanic vote brings more diversity than other early states. Are you disappointed that the Clinton Campaign is saying this is not a diverse state and resembles iowa. Of course, the Clinton Campaign didnt say. This one person said brian fallon. Reporter the spokesman. Of course he changed quickly after i called him, okay . Reporter clinton has tim kaine who speaks fluent spanish working hispanic neighborhoods trying to make her case. It is head and shoulders night and day difference in terms of hillary being the most qualified person to be a fantastic next president of this country. Reporter the Campaign Continues to clean up after former president bill clinton, who yesterday falsely claimed South Carolina, quote in fact one of the terrorists was born in pakistan and spent most of her life in saudi arabia while the other made several trips there. Harry reid revealed to us hes not planning to endorse anyone ahead of saturdays big caucus, that is one establishment endorsement Hillary Clinton wanted to have. Lou . Lou ed, thank you very much, ed henry. China has concerned our secretary of state, he says, and concerned him says, seriously. Secretary john kerry criticized china because the country deployed as we reported last night, advanced surfacetoair Missile Systems on one of the disputed islands that now controls in the South China Sea. When president xi was here in washington, he stood in the rose garden with president obama and said china will not militaryize in the South China Sea. But there is every evidence, every day, there has been an increase of militarization of one kind or another, its a serious concern. Lou kerry also said in his words there would be more talks with china about all of this that so seriously concerns him, he said. Ill take up the administrations response to china, talking with general jack keane in the broadcast. Pope francis with a politically charged visit to the u. S. Mexico border. The pontiff holding openair mass in juarez where some 30,000 people gathered at the sun bowl watching a simulcast of the ceremony. It is known as the murder capital of the world. 3,000 murders a year there, the drug wars in mexico responsible for almost 200,000 murders in mexico over the past decade. 20,000 estimated last year alone, and by the way, the rate of unsolved murders in mexico remains unsolved murders, 98 . The border and mexico, the principal source of the four main Illegal Drugs in this country, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine and marijuana. Pope francis expected to stop at the border fence to give a blessing and pray for those who died crossing the border. No word whether or not he will pray for the 200,000 people murdered by the drug cartels over the last decade. The political message has not sat well with republican president ial candidates such as donald trump. He says the pontiff doesnt understand the danger of the open border we have with mexico. Vatican spokesman fired back saying the pope is concerned about the plight of Illegal Immigrants everywhere, not just the United States. And while pope francis is known for his calm demeanor, well, sometimes that is not the case, the pontiff captured on video yesterday as he lost his temper after a crowd tugged at his robe and caused him to fall on a young person in a wheelchair. The pontiff visibly agitated, telling the person to, quote, dont be selfish. Were coming right back. Much more, a big news night. Stay with us. President obama attacks donald trump at the same time putting down business as mere marketing and promotion. For his part trump says obama is a lucky fella. Youre lucky i didnt run last time when romney ran, you would have been a oneterm president. Lou has the president made a big mistake injecting himself into the gop race . Ed rollins next. A terrifying moment for all involved. The video in a moment, well show you the video with a shocking point of view right after these messages. Stay with us. And next taking up apples defiance of a federal court order to work with the Justice Department to open a terrorists phone, and well be going to Donald Trumps rally taking place right now in South Carolina.

Lou joining me now, former Reagan White House political director, republican strategist, fox news political analyst, ed rollins, great to have you here. Thank you, thank you. Lou start with the polls, the wall street journalnbc poll has cruz ahead two points, 5 , almost 5 margin of error, 4. 9. Im not shocked by it, but i think the polls going to go back and forth. I think trump had a Night Saturday night that would take a couple days to weigh in and to a certain extent some people think his behavior was irrational. South carolina is always a knockdown dragout process, he is ahead there, big endorsement today for rubio. Three people in the race matter. All the polls show jeb bush is at the bottom. Not getting better. Lou it is shocking. And ive got to repeat this, this is an outlier, there isnt another National Poll within ten points of it at the top, and five points from the bottom. And i think at the end of the day here, the polls are not as relevant as motion. I think to a certain extent trump is strong in South Carolina. Lou per votes, were going to have votes quick. Votes on saturday. Thats what counts. Lou as we look at what is going on here, i mean the animosity that is building in washington, d. C. On the campaign trail, i mean this is this is youre talking about the roughandtumble of the public arena, weve got it. These candidates are talking about things, if anybody thought that jeb bush would be talking about mooning folks and others clucking preciously and sanctimoniously about the language of donald trump, i mean this is theyre talking about everything. This was earlier days in our country, there would have been three duels already. Lou we would have winnowed the field. Narrowed the field. I think the gloves are off, down to bare knuckles. Lou does it feel good to you . No. Lou really . Perfectly honest. I think big issues facing this country. Ought to talk about those. Lou okay, let me test you on that. Illegal immigration. Trade. All big issues. Lou job creation. I want to talk about those. Were talking about the defense of the country, and on nearly every one of those issues its been donald trump leading the agenda. I think thats why hes at the forefront of this. Lou people talk about his language and dont Pay Attention i dont care about his language. I come out of a blue collar, shipyard family. I care about when calling each other liars, those are things who haunt whoever the nominee is. The issues trump laid out are what the country wants to talk about. Lou what issue do you think is being ignoreed . What issue . How to create jobs. Lou we havent heard a president talk about how you specifically create jobs in this country in a very long time. Its a mistake, to a certain extent, this is a chance whether its Building Infrastructure or whatever it is. Lou trump talks about that all the time. Pulling jobs from mexico. Lou by the way, three million jobs that need pulling back. Explain how were going to get them. Thats all i ask. Lou next youre going to want to know why mexico is going to pay for the wall. I dont think they are. That doesnt mean we shouldnt have the wall. Pay for it ourselves. Lou lets turn to the president has refused to go to the funeral of justice scalia, sending joe biden instead. Outrageous. The Supreme Court is equal branch of government. Just to honor whether you agree politically or not is irrelevant. Its the institution. Lou and Hillary Clinton making it pretty clear she thinks that racism is the reason that the Republican Party will not give this president his choice of the next associate justice . Absolutely absurd. Lou is it absurd she played a race card and made such a charge . Playing the race card for several months now. Lou im used to her gender card. Also playing a race card and thinks its appropriate for her chances against Bernie Sanders, but i think at the end of the day here, hes not going to get his choice, but its the last year. I remember what they did to bourque. I remember the early once, i think its perfectly legitimate to wait in the election take place. Lou that bill is absolutely coming due, ed rollins, thank you. Thank you. Lou be sure to vote in our poll tonight like to hear from you on that, cast your vote on twitter and follow me on twitter links to everything at loudobbs. Com.
