the independents@foxbusiness.com. for matt welch and adorable kmele foster, i'm kennedy, thanks for being here. dvr the show, next week especially, we're going to make you money. in the meantime, lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everybody. a record day for president obama. the "gallup" daily tracking poll measuring the president's disapproval rating at 56%. tying his all-time high. his approval rating has fallen to one point from record low. the president considered so toxic on the campaign trail that democratic candidates are calling on the first lady for help in stump speeches. mrs. obama campaigning for democratic candidates in michigan and iowa today and only one candidate, the unpopular connecticut governor dan malloy has called upon the president for help. the president relegated to democratic national committee

fund-raisers behind closed doors with little or no media access. just this week, president obama attending six fund-raisers, 16 since the beginning of september. now many believe mr. obama to be the all-time leader in presidential fund-raisers, but that's not the case. he's in second place. president clinton, the record holder, attending 638 fund-raisers in his two terms in office. the president, president obama, is in a comfortable second place, however, still behind clinton by 145 fund-raisers. still time to catch up. even though unpopular, mr. obama can still raise a lot of money. republican strategist karl rove told us here wednesday that democratic incumbents have long been preparing for the obama drag on their poll numbers, and with that, the fund-raising advantage that comes with incumbency, most of the senate races would already be over

with republicans way out in front. >> if these were open races, these seats would be settled and settled today. but it's hard to beat an incumbent, and every one of these incumbents saw a tough election year coming and muscled up with money and have been on the attack since day one. lou: all here tonight, we are learning that ebola patient zero, thomas eric duncan, not only told hospital screeners he had traveled to west africa recently, but also registered a 103-degree temperature before they released him back into the public. and u.s. airports set to launch new screening procedures in only five airports across the country tomorrow. >> beginning tomorrow, enhanced screening measures will be activated at jfk airport and soon after at dulles, atlanta, newark. the airports receive 94% of

travelers from liberia, sierra leone and guinea. lou: missing from the list, a lot of airports and a lot of big metropolitan areas. dallas-ft. worth prominent among those missing where duncan landed in texas and the site of today's congressional field hearing on the ebola threat response. and it was another bad day for investors wrapping up a bad week on wall street. the triple digit sell-off today, the third for the dow jones industrial average over the past four days. the stock market losing 3% on the week. we begin tonight on the presidential campaign trail, rather, the congressional campaign trail, and the democrats' latest efforts to bring a little star power to those races, but it looks like the first lady may be as dependent on a teleprompter as her husband. >> i am beyond thrilled to be here today, to support your next senator from iowa, our friend bruce bailey.

stand up for your families in washington. then you need to elect bruce bailey. lou: bruce brailey, probably not the performance the brailey campaign had been hoping for. better than appearing alongside a president who is toxic at this point. fox news political correspondent carl cameron with the report. >> reporter: with her husband down in the polls, first lady michelle obama hit the trail trying to energize downbeat democrats and candidates. >> if we keep on stepping up and bringing others along with us, i know that we can keep on making that change we believe in. >> reporter: democrats hope the first lady makes a better surrogate than embattled husband who last week made his party wince by echoing that the midterms are about him and his midterm agenda. >> make no mistake the policies are on the ballot. every single one of them. >> reporter: david axelrod called that line a mistake given how unpopular the

president and his policies are in the polls. few noticed it but mrs. obama doubled down on her husband's declaration. >> make no mistake about it, barack's last campaign wasn't in 2012, it is this year in 2014. >> reporter: that is the last thing allison grimes wanted to hear as she runs alongside mitch mcconnell, grimes sounded like a politician with something to hide. >> did you vote for president obama 2008, 2012? >> this isn't about the president, i respect the sanctity of the ballot box. >> reporter: in new hampshire senate democrat jeanne shaheen tap danced, she all but told them to stay away. >> the president is dealing with a lot of crises in the world and it's important for him to address what's happening with isis, to continue to address the ebola scare and so

i expect him to be in washington. >> reporter: some democrats have gone further. democrat mark begich of alaska is advertising to pay for his differences with the president. >> voted against obama's trillion dollar tax increase rl begich told the president not to come to alaska months ago, and pundits and strategists on both sides of the aisle routinely called his the smartest democratic campaign of the cycle. lou? lou: carl cameron, thank you very much. turning to ebola in america, the government response to the deadly disease poses to americans has been slow and uninspiring. the response to the one confirmed case in this country marked by mistakes and misinformation. fox news correspondent john roberts has our report. >> reporter: ebola fierce have america on a hair trigger, this as a man on a u.s. airways

flight sneezed and joked he had ebola. in oklahoma city a sick man who

. >> reporter: so far almost remarkably none of duncan's 48 contacts have fallen ill. a sheriffs deputy with no protective gear was released from the hospital last night. his illness found not to be ebola. in macedonia, a hotel has been sealed off after a british visitor mysteriously died hours after arriving. and in spain, seven people including a hairdresser are in isolation, they were in contact with nurse teresa romero desperately ill after she caught ebola from a patient being treated in madrid. in west africa, the world health organization reported the death toll has passed 4,000. the cdc believes the actual number is far higher. dr. kent brantly, the first american patient with ebola told an audience at abilene

christian university that the virus is devastating entire nations. >> you've seen the news reports, and i assure you, the reality on the ground in west africa is worse than the worst report you've seen. >> reporter: customs and border protection begins enhanced screening protocols for travelers from west africa tomorrow at jfk airport in new york. newark, chicago o'hare dulles and atlanta airports follow soon after that. john roberts, fox news. lou: and tonight an update on pharmaceutical companies efforts to fight ebola. four drugs showing the most potential. zmapp credited with helping dr. kent brantly and nancy writebol successfully cover. maker is about to ramp up production of the drug which won't be available until next year at the earliest. a drug has been successful in laboratory tests known as cmx

1. it was given to thomas eric duncan, the liberian national who died wednesday and american journalist ashoko mukpo who is battling ebola and has improved slightly. drugmaker tekmira has a drug called pkm ebola used to treat dr. rick sacra who recovered, but it's impossible to know what role the drug played in his recovery. and a clinical trial of promising ebola vaccine under way in the west african country of magli. the new reports tonight that the white house is considering unilaterally closing down guantanamo bay according to the "wall street journal," which says president obama wants to issue an executive action to close the prison, if no agreement can be made with congress.

the white house denies the report. house speaker john boehner calls it another example what will be this administration's legacy of ♪ mr. daniels. mr. daniels. look at this. what's this? clicks are off the charts. yeah. yoshi, we're back. yes, sir! ♪ more shipping! more shipping! ♪ [ beeping ] ♪

. lou: up next, a late friday afternoon document dump from the clinton library. new monica lewinsky and whitewater scandal revelations. that's coming up next. james rosen with the latest. and president obama tonight once again attending fund-raisers while the country is facing crises from almost every quarter it seems. in syria, officials are warning that kobani is in danger of being massacred by the islamic state.

mostly of the 250,000 people have fled. the united nations is 700 people are trapped in the center. 10,000 gathered at the border with turkey. france and turkey are pushing for a buffer zone and a no-fly zone. neither country has intervened yet. israeli experts warning that iran's nuclear weapons program is very much alive and proof the satellite images of damage to an iranian nuclear complex which has reportedly been rocked by a massive blast last sunday. nuclear talks with world powers and iran reportedly going absolutely nowhere. but will be extended by the administration beyond the november deadline. and tonight, a deepening mystery in north korea. leader kim jong-un has not been seen in public now for more than a month, there is speculation about his health, whether he remains in power, after kim failed to show up at an event commemorating the 69th

anniversary of the founding of the ruling workers' party. a late friday document dump from the clinton presidential library revealing new material about some of the clinton administration's biggest scandals. monica lewinsky and whitewater among them. fox news chief washington correspondent james rosen has our report. james? >> reporter: lou, good evening. clinton library has been making the document releases on friday stretching back to february. there were 33,000 documents that have been withheld from public access for longer than what the law provided. today's release was about 10,000 pages, 230 pages in a folder named monica lewinsky segment 1. however, about what you found in here were mostly talking point drafts, memos and a few snide e-mails from legendary political fixer sidney blumenthal. on the whitewater controversy,

there was a seven page handwritten notes in which then first lady hillary clinton offered scathing comments about the white house staff and the defense mounted on behalf of the clintons in connection with whitewater. she said we've been so incompetent why, is it we don't get it done? she complained about george stephanopoulos skipping critical briefings and saying make george go to the briefings. by and large, we skim the surface here, one last point on the health care reform effort that hillary clinton pled and went down to failure in 1994, she took note of books coming out by bob woodward and elizabeth drew and demanded to know who was leaking damaging reports about the health care reform and told by her aide that the culprit was then hhs secretary donna shalala who continued to serve in the post for the entire clinton presidency, lou. lou: more documents still withheld? any -- how many more you think

we've got to go here? >> at least several thousand. the monica lewinsky file had several dozen if not hundreds of e-mails. i don't mean to tantalize you in a cruel way, lou, there was one e-mail from march of 1999 written by a man named edward f. hughes and the title of this e-mail that is still secret was why is lou dobbs dot, dot, dot, we don't know what the rest was said? >> i can bet it was colorful. >> and complimentary. lou: without question. james so much. fascinating. and the timing of this, i'm sure, is purely coincidental to any ambitions that former secretary of state hillary clinton might have. james rosen. michael mccaul calling for additional ebola screenings at

two texas airports, during a field hearing that took place at the dallas-ft. worth international airport. newark's jfk set to begin screening passengers beginning tomorrow. these additional screening measures expanding to four other airports next week. dulles, newark, o'hare and atlanta. and my first guest tonight says the obama administration's plan has too many holes and needs to be expanded. i'm joined by congressman blake farrenthal. good to have you with us. something pitifully askew when you have a hearing at the dallas-ft. worth airport which is where patient zero arrived ultimately from liberia and then died. how could they leave that airport out of it. >> well, they say that 95% of the folks come through the five airports. but i think, with ebola, you

need to get 100% of the folks. whether it's expanding the program to more airports or only funneling people from the west african countries who have ebola through the airports. either one works. there are people thinking we need to do a complete travel ban there like they've done in europe. lou: screening in this instance means asking a few questions and taking a reading, a thermal reading on the temperature of the passenger, which many claim is absolutely unworkable and unreliable. what's the reality? >> the technology is there to take everybody's temperature but there's a 21 day incubation period with ebola. if you're not symptomatic when you get off the airplane, you're not contagious, but when you become symptomatic, you are contagious, and we're not going to catch those, certainly if they're dishonest in the interview. lou: yeah, the honor system

doesn't seem to be particularly wise. >> when your life's in jeopardy, up to the get to the united states, where we've got the best health care and you have the best chances of surviving. you can't blame somebody for thamp it's human nature. lou: i wouldn't blame anyone. what i do, however, insist that someone take responsibility for it here. we would start with the president and move to congress and the senate to make certain that -- and it's odd, i don't know about you, i haven't heard a lot of officeholders talk about their first responsibility is to the health and welfare of the american citizenry. it's a peculiar omission on the part of health officials, elected officials. >> well, one of the thing i took away from the hear is that different agencies were pointing fingers at different agencies. there is no one in charge, no one where the buck stops.

under president bush, there was somebody in charge of biothreats in the white house that was ultimately in charge. now i guess it directly falls under the department of health and human services, but you saw the cdc pointing fingers at state department, you saw customs and border patrol pointing fingers. nobody ultimately responsible, and what scares me is we've got a bureaucratic mess where nobody knows who's in charge, and people are going to die. lou: well, people are going to die, and it would be needlessly because it seems a reasonable expectation on the part of the american people that the government secure their borders, secure ports of entry and screen those who come into the country or absolutely ban them from the country if they are symptomatic or reason to believe that they are ill? >> absolutely. you've got the folks coming in from west africa. you screen them when they get here, and you have the option to follow up and screen them

every couple of days after. to me, that's prudent, if you're not going to shut down travel to and from those countries, let's at least make the effort to screen them. there are about 150 a day that come in. lou: the last number i saw on the amount cargo and freight coming into the country that's being screened by customs and border patrol, the number was 5% of the total. that is 95% of the material coming into this country from overseas is not screened by our folks in this country as it enters the country. now we find out, not only is the southern border porous and unsecured, but really, as you describe it, the federal government doesn't know what it's doing. >> i'm afraid that's true, lou. or it's not willing to commit the political and financial resources to do it. but the key is there's got to

be somebody in charge, and i walked away from the hearing going who's in charge? lou: yeah, well that question is asked about a host of issues in all quarters of the federal government. >> the trust in the federal government is lower than it's ever been based on all the scandals from the obama administration, and when we need to trust the government to stop a panic, it's not there. there's no trust. that's bad. lou: you know, there's that word panic, and i've heard a few people use the word. i have seen no sign whatsoever in this country of panic. there is concern, there's even some rational fear given what this government does on day in and day out, missions for which it's responsible, personally i understand it, i've seen no sign of panic, signs of disgust at the incompetence and the lack of

integrity at our national leadership. >> the cdc is worried about that, but you look at how we handled it in texas. we've got all the people, the gentleman associated under observation, we'll know the 21-day incubation period is up in nine days. we'll know how bad it is in the next two weeks. >> hope for all the best and prepare for the worst. that should be the motto of everyone involved. congressman, good to talk with you. >> thank you. lou: up next 76 million jpmorgan chase accounts hacked. 50 million hacked at home depot. 110 million hacked at target. so how much do those hackers know about you? and how much does our government know about those hackers? next. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there are no branches? 24/7 it's just i'm a little reluctant to try new things. what's wrong with trying new things? feel that in your muscles?

yeah... i do... try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. an unprecedented program arting busithat partners businesses with universities across the state.

one of the top retailers. this time it's k-mart, the company says it found a form of malware on system that has compromised some debit and credit cards. this follows the announcement from jpmorgan chase last week that 76 million u.s. households were affected by a data breach by foreign hackers. joining us foreign eye chief operating officer and cybersecurity expert kevin mandia. good to have you with us. >> thank you, lou. lou: this is frankly getting not only worrisome but becoming alarming that major institutions, whether it's the federal government, whether it is target, being breached by hackers as if there was absolutely no defense available to these institutions. what's going on? >> well, you know, i liken it to a football analogy of the

attackers have all the advantages because there's no defensive pass rush. if you're hacking the united states from russia or china. there are no risks and no repercussions. so with impunity, these people can continue to try to break in. when you look at brands being compromised in the retail space, these are great brands, that's fascinating the public is the best brands with great computer security programs are compromised. and it goes down to the fact there's no risk or repercussions to the attackers. lou: so this administration, this government famously said they will, within their powers of volition decide whether or not to regard a cyberattack as an act of war. we're talking about the country's financial system has been absolutely violated. these major corporations, the government itself. at what point do you suppose people might have the guts and

the common sense to defend some of our most valuable assets? >> well, you're talking about the red line in cyberspace. what is that line and when is it crossed in the theft of our intellectual property and the theft of personally identifiable information or bank account information is below the red line. it doesn't cross the line into what we define as a cyberwar that merits a response of some kind. so apparently we haven't hit the line of intoleration just yet. lou: and who is drawing that line? it certainly would not be the obama administration, which has not had a lot of good luck drawing red lines in foreign policy. >> well, it's a tough line to draw because it also depends how the information is being used. i've been involved in thinking about that for a long time, and almost as if the people breaking into our networks know where the line of tolerance or

intolerance is. for example, when somebody broke into the saudi aram co, they deleted everything on the system at aramco in saudi arabia. the attacks have not happened in the united states because of the belief it would be deemed intolerable to delete the machines at major financial institutions or retail brands. lou: the effect of what you're saying is, assuming your interpretations and conclusions are correct is that the u.s. government decided that china is one of the chief perpetrators, russia, again, one of the chief perpetrators, have license now, because where we've drawn a red line, have license to steal our intellectual property, to steal our most advanced technology, our most complex systems data,

and personal information -- financial, medical -- and will do so without consequence. how are we to be regarded as a superpower at all, but how certainly in cyberspace if we can't even defend our most precious asset? >> well, i'm not a diplomat or statesman, i can tell you on the technical side it is hard to pitch a perfect game every single day. so as long as there's no risks or repercussions, the front door is going to get banged on, the back door is going to get banged on and people try to break in all the time. the nontechnical solutions have presented themselves in a fashion that would act as a deterrent. lou: and it also raises the question, the implication what you said about red lines is we have the capacity to respond. we have the technology to respond and to effectively

deter if we were to unleash our intellectual and technological forces against the enemy, but the question then arises do we really have such technology? do we have such capability, let alone the sense to, to put it to use? >> i'm not convinced, lou, that the answer or the deterrent is in cyberspace for cyberattacks, because we're the country in the glass house right now. we're the ones most dependent on the internet. we have the biggest e-commerce infrastructure. it is most probable right now that the best deterrent for cyberattacks would, in fact, be outside of cyber, that could be sanctions, other venues to look for some potential solutions. but right now the attacks go unabated because there's simply no risk to the attackers. lou: kevin mandia, sobering and as always thoughtful. good to see you, appreciate it. >> thank you. lou: microsoft ceo is

apologizing after giving women the worst career advice imaginable. here is microsoft's ceo at an event for women in the technology industry. >> it's not really about asking for the raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along. and that i think might be one of the additional superpowers that quite frankly women who don't ask for a raise have, because that's good karma. it will come back. lou: well, it came back all right, not in the way that certainly he thought. the comments troublesome when you consider women make up 29% of microsoft's employees. 17% of technology employees worldwide, and, yes, again, he did apologize for that karmic lesson. we're coming right back. democrats and free fall senate candidates trailing in

the president's poll numbers plunging. democrats desperately pressing democrats desperately pressing the first

but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

. lou: joining us now, republican strategist angela mcgowan, we want to turn first to you to a president now with his disapproval ratings, tying the highest since he became president, angela, your reaction to the toxicity now that exists for this president on the campaign trail? >> lou, i'm not surprised. with this anemic economy, you look at unemployment rate, for the black community it's doubled, hispanic community it's doubled and people are tired of being sick and tired. the president was right when he said his policies are on the ballot. he's not.

his policies are. republicans are going to gain 12 seats majority more in the house and they're going to gain in the senate as well. >> look, i wish, lou, as a democrat i could disagree with angela. all the data suggests a darn big republican win, largely because people are fed up with the president. now, i am i think required to say, there's no great mandate for the republicans, they haven't articulated much of a message. with a president this unpopular, frankly they don't need to. lou: whomever among the republicans starts that mandate nonsense, you know, i think most people would tune them out anyway. excuse me. i want to turn to the idea on the part of this administration that it can just go about its business ignoring the polls and doing whatever it wishes. you served in the white house. >> i did. lou: the clinton white house. i don't know how they can gain the energy to walk across the

street each day with the disapproval emanating from within their own party, from every corner. >> there are two ways to govern. you can govern based on what you think is right, and to heck with the polls the opposition and the like, you can double down. i spoke to an obama insider today, he said if the republicans win the senate, he expected the administration would, quote, go to the mattresses. >> go to the mattresses, is that picking up the telephone in executive orders, is that what you're saying? >> think that's what i'm saying, angela. something when have you terry mcauliffe saying we can gain 8-10 seats and the dccc israel saying we're pulling money from certain races and putting that money in other races thinking you guys might have a chance. i think the president might have to go to the phone in executive orders, doug.

>> that's what i'm suggesting. call it go to the phones, i'm calling it going to the mattresses based on what i heard from an insider. same conclusion. lou: there is an understanding amongst some few people who are rational, who happen to to be in the president's inner circle. if he goes to executive orders for issues he cannot build a national consensus, or one within the senate or the house, he is flirting with not only disaster, in terms of the body politic, but -- bless you. >> thank you. lou: history will treat him. >> i agree, i agree. it's absolutely wrong. excuse me. lou: you bet. angela, your thoughts, the republicans look like they're going to take the senate right now. most of the republicans are trying to manage expectations, suggesting they might get a bear one majority in the

senate. as i look at the numbers, i look at anywhere from, looks to me, 8-12 seats, are likely to end up in republican territory. >> the only one that i'm really concerned about lou is kansas with pat roberts and the independent that's running. i think if pat continues to talk about this independent was a democrat in 2010 and would caucus with the democrats if he wins, i think that that would help pat roberts win kansas. that's the only senate race i'm concerned about. lou: well, the senate race also in south dakota, you got to have a few people trembling. >> there is a bigger problem here, lou, there is so much anger in the electorate for reasons that you and i discussed for many years, greg orman is doing well in kansas and larry pressler. lou: our polling shows that

senator roberts pulled ahead. >> and the poll shows the race is even and orman ahead. and pressler within three points of south carolina, a couple points behind. my point is there is so much disaffection. lou: there is nothing new about this. the alienation, the hyperpartisanship. >> we're in trouble, lou, we don't have consensus to governsa the greatest nation to the world. how do we send messages to the rest of the world when the alienation is as great as you suggest. lou: we have to look towards ourselves and examine ourselves before we start worrying about policies to the rest of the world. this country right now. >> when we have isis, we can't afford too much. lou: i think what we can't afford is much more of a leadership that we tolerated over the past 20 years. >> i agree with you on that. lou: angela, thank you very much. >> thanks, doug.

. lou: what a wild week, stocks capping a volatile week with sharp losses. the dow lost 115 points. the s&p down 22. the nasdaq plummeted 102 points. volume on the big board 4.5 billion shares for the week. the dow down nearly 3%, the s&p and nasdaq suffering the worst weekly decline since 2012. here now with his analysis, the chief market strategist for cantor fitzgerald, good to have you with us. >> nice to be here. lou: thank you. investors i think most the few

that are so-called retail investors have got to be absolutely scared to death. your thoughts on what is going on here and what we can expect to happen in the next days and weeks? >> okay, the best way to start is to take a step back. at the beginning of the year outlook for the markets was up 7.5%. and largely the logic behind that was the growth of the fed's balance sheet. lou: coming off a year where we saw better than 30% return. >> correct, correct, the fed was going to movesa the year progressed the bonds they're buying. lou: they're tapered out now. >> tapered out. the thesis was as the growth of the balance sheets slowed, the markets absorb that and performance late into the year would start to suffer. lou: right. >> the fed in september statement talked about the dots

and raising rates. lou: the market's gone to hell. we had the statement out of fed. we have the dollar sitting at almost six year highs right now. >> yeah. lou: and we have, only place we can see rates going from here is up. >> correct. lou: it's all about rates. >> you know the most recent statement interpreted as dovish by most. i think it's not quite as dovish as most think. the fact of the matter is markets are going higher not lower and the market is starting to absorb the secular shift. lou: and the market is going down as a result. >> into 2015. i believe it will. lou: how much? >> difficult to say, let's say the market's going to struggle eking out gains, 5-10 pshgs i think a correction is more likely for 2015. into the year for this year, however, given the pullback we had, in the near-term, i might

expect a bounce here before we move lower. lou: so an investor is to do what? >> bring up the cash position, position more defensively. lou: all right, position defensively and look for an opportunity, but 10% from here, is that right? >> intentionally, yes. lou: candid talk, and appreciate your assessment. peter, thank you. >> thank you. lou: surprising results from last night's poll from the president's home state. we're coming right back. stay with us. go ahead and put your bag right here. have a nice flight! traveling can feel like one big mystery. you're never quite sure what is coming your way. but when you've got an entire company who knows that the most on-time flights are nothing if we can't get your things there too.
