Brigety today he raised eyebrows talking about women. How did i get elected . We just got an army of people and many women who left their kitchens to go out and go doortodoor with yard signs. First off i want to say your comment earlier about women coming out of the kitchen to support you, i will support you but i wont be coming out the kitchen. Some of the Casey Campaign issued a statement saying that campaign as part of a stayathome moms and to twist his comments into anything else is desperate politics. Because the caucuses in nevada have been low turnout affairs have almost never have an overall effect but theres likely to be a bitter battle between marco rubio and ted cruzs renee. What may turn out to be the most numeral is here the bible has upstaged the city. Lou thank you very much carl cannon. Coming up we will be taking up the likely effect of trump counter attempts with pope francis on this race. Heres pastor Robert Jeffers with his assessment. First of all i highlighted trumps position on wanting to keep america safe with Border Security and look i think a lot of americans have Great Respect for the pope that both catholics and evangelicals want to keep this nation safe and when it comes to doing that i think they are going to depend more on trumps policies in the popes policy of an open border. Lou we will be talking with the pastor later in the broadcast. You dont want to miss it. A busy day for president obama he spent much of the day lecturing governors about the need for you guessed it, more gun control. Earlier this year i took some steps that will make it harder for dangerous people like this individual. Clearly we need to do more. We are going to keep innocent americans safe. Thats an area where we also need to partner think about what we can do in a commonsense way in a bipartisan way. Lemm the president has been curiously silent on a number of issues of National Security such as the Justice Departments battled with apple. A person leaving a fight to his fbi director james comey who urged apple to open the San Bernardino terrorist i found. Youll be saying in a statement is a vital decision and should not be left as he put in the hands of quote corporations that for a living. Apple ceo tim cook however saying the battle isnt over and the Data Security of quote hundreds of millions of lawabiding people is at stake. We will take that up here tonight as well. The Obama Administration is fighting federal courts to strike down an election rule that ensures only citizens vote in our elections. If the administration does prevail it could allow noncitizens to vote in the upcoming president ial elections. The Justice Department led by attorney general Loretta Lynch is now supporting the naacp and the league of women voters. Both organizations fighting to overturn state laws that ensure only citizens are allowed to register to vote when they is a federally designed registration form. Incredible. We are going to have much more on that here tonight as well. Turning now to the growing fears about the zika virus in this hemisphere experts warn of a possible link between the mosquitoborne virus and gbs, rare riordan there are logical condition that causes paralysis. The colombian city of seeing a significant number of cases of gbs following a severe outbreak of zika there.

We are coming right back with much more. Stay with us. Marco rubio on the defensive, tacking the hand of the union for i. C. E. Who accused him of betrayal. There are conspiracy theories that are oftentimes manipulated and that individuals individual is out of the union. Lou is rubio telling the whole truth .

Lou as is her custom we are checking in with all the candidates who are holding live events aware and they there are. Senator marco rubio is holding a rally tonight in mendham park in manned and nevada just south of reno. As you see the senator there, lets listen in. In fact the greatest nation in the history of mankind. My friends that was now its our turn to do our part. No time is come for this generation to do its part and when im president we will do our part. When im president we are going to reembrace all of the principles that made America Great and we are going to apply those principles to the unique challenges of the 21st century as difficult things may seem right now and i know that times are tough i know that you are working harder than you have ever worked in deals like you were running in place. I know that your kids and your grandkids have done everything asked of them and they graduate from college with good grades and thousands of dollars in loans and they cannot find a job. I know its harder than ever for business to survive. While you watch other businesses prosper the Small Businesses fall behind. In other headlines everyday you the world is getting more dangerous and america seems to be getting weaker. I know that times are tough. I know that things seem bleak but i want you to know that our greatest days are before us if we are willing to do what it takes and when im president we will and i want you to know what history is going to say about us. Here is what history will write about us. It will say that this generation of americans, those of us alive today lived in the early years of this century in a difficult rapidly changing world. And we almost got it wrong. Lou senator markey of marco rubio in nevada trying to get folks to vote for him in tomorrows caucuses. Right now according to the polls he had cruz are fighting it out, senator cruz fighting it out for second place there. According to the polls at least donald trump with a significant lead. Joining us now is senator Jeff Sessions. He is a member of a number of key Senate Committees including budget armed services, the judiciary, busy man on a slow day. Senator great to have you with us. We appreciate you taking the time. I want to turn to a couple of things that i may first and that is this dispute that has arisen around what we are doing with Illegal Immigrants in this country. The Washington Examiner reporting first that 90,000, 90,000 dangerous Illegal Immigrants have simply been released and gone free. What is happening when our agencies are not carrying out their responsibilities and their duties to protect the country and to enforce laws . Lieu its unbelievable whats been happening. Its just shocking. People cant believe it. This administration is devastated. I sops the federal law officers sued their supervisors in administration in effect saying you have caused us to violate our own to enforce the law. Theyre told by policies and regulations and executive orders throughout this entire system that make it virtually impossible to create a lawful system of immigration. It can be done if we had president ial leadership. Its not that hard. Its really possible and we have got to do it and the American People have demanded it for 30 years. Lou in dealing with immigration and Customs Enforcement the head of the union they are in a dispute with marco rubio and the head of the union saying pointblank marco rubio trade Law Enforcement in the legislation and did so boldfaced in front of everyone. You have supported him in this, that is the head of the union. What actually stopped the gang of eight billing your judgment . I think chris crain played a big role in it. He and other Law Enforcement officers expose this bill. They said it would not make us more safe to less safe. I urged them, they met for months the gang of it did with la raza and the chamber of commerce but they wouldnt allow Law Enforcement to come in to explain how the system works and what you have to do to end the law. They were just pushed out and i got to be a big deal and the disagreements continued between those two. I so admired chris crain. He loves america. I believe you told the truth about the legislation and important for the American People that he did. Lou senator rubio today that crains suggestions were basically conspiracy theories on his part trying to dismiss them. They are not easily dismissed as you know. I would also like to take up senator rubios support of the transpacific partnership, the Free Trade Agreement that this president wants to have validated by the senate. Marco rubio has been a supporter of it, has he not . Hes been a very big supporter of the. He provided the 60th vote, the the vote necessary to pass the fasttrack that led to us. He had three pillars of his foreignpolicy and one of them was the passage of this bill. I really believe luke ill bet player and nation in trade but i believe these trade agreements are not working effectively for us create our trading partners cheat and manipulate too much and we have all the leverage in the world to stand back against that. If we go into this agreement that has 5000 pages in it and i think we will regret this. We need a lateral trade agreements come i will support them but there is need be able to pull out and not have a Commission Like a nascent European Commission that evaluates disputes and changes the rules where they want to. Lou those are real popular, arent they senator . They are dangerous. Lou senator Jeff Sessions good to have you with us. Thank you very much senator. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight. Her question is this president obamas refusal to publicly support his fbi director in the apple case an indication he will not support the fbi recommendation to prosecute Hillary Clinton . Quest your vote on twitter lou dobbs. Follow me on twitter like mans face that follow me an instagram at lou dobbs links to everything found at lou dobbs. Com. Breaking news tonight the office of Personnel Management head of cybersecurity is quitting. Donna seymour retired two days before she was supposed to give testimony before a House Oversight committee on the conduct on her watch. It was on her watch remember that hackers in 2014 stole the personnel files of almost 30 million federal employees. Seymour was due to appear and as a result of her timely resignation been canceled. Theres a pattern here, isnt there . New zealand has these are just taking her act to new heights which we will share with you. There she is performing on a trapeze as you see there attached to a hot air balloon above it at an altitude of more than 10000 feet. One minute into the routine she dislocated a rib but despite that she persevered and completed her routine. In doing so she set a new world record for the highest socalled static trapeze act although frankly i see nothing static about that. Lifethreatening, bone chilling, yes but not static create congratulations. Up next the Justice Departments battle with apple and about 250 people who are trapped in the remote town of idaho after massive landslide. We have the video of that and all of the latest developments. Stay with us, we are coming right back. Lou a few thoughts on what i believe is a disgrace, refusal on part of apples ceo tim cook to work with the fbi to reveal the contents of an iphone used by at least one of the San Bernardino terrorists, some say there are important legal issue issues. There are say some. Such complex political Foreign Policy and Business Issues that a Congressional Commission should be convened, a committee, apple asking federal government to withdraw its request of apple even as apple defies right now a federal magistrate a order to comply with the fbi request. They have until friday to respond, apple it seems trying to cast itself as defender of privacy as tim cook said for millions of iphone users, the problem is they are not americans. Silicon valley is supporting tim cook in his defiance of the federal government, which is responsible for america. What tim cook and ample ar am apple are doing, is civil disobeadisobedience. He wrote on law fair blog he seeks no precedence, no advantage for fbi just the data that apple could quickly recover from the terrorist iphone for the fib fi fbi if they only would, writing we dont want to break anyones encryption or set a master key loose on the land, maybe the phone holds a clue to finding more, terrorists maybe it does not, we cannot look survivors in the mirror, or ourselves if we do not follow this lead. If that phone were to contain a name could farc o fact o
