tv   Lou Dobbs Tonight  FOX Business  October 13, 2014 7:00pm-8:01pm EDT

7:00 pm
charles: thanks a lot. fantastic show. fantastic panel. we appreciate you watching every night 6:00 p.m. dvr if you can't catch it. i'll be with stewart in the morning, but right now lou dobbs. >> good evening everybody, breaking news tonight out of boston's logan international airport you are looking at an emirates airline plane and you can see officials in hazmat suits entering and surrounding the boeing 77 to remove five passengers. the plane flight 237 it landed in boston at two clock this afternoon. all five of the people who were sick claimed they had not traveled to west africa where the ebola outbreak has now killed more than 5,000
7:01 pm
people. however logan officials said they decided to isolate those sick passengers send in a team and evaluate their position. now, the local fox station is reporting that relatives of of some of those sick passengers said they had been the annual pilgrim image to mecca. state police say prelim nary for two of those passengers have already come back negative for ebola, but there's still no word on the state of the other three. we'll be watching all of that as well as a potential sa case of ebola out in kansas tonight. the university of kansas hospital reporting an individual called and then came into the hospital earlier this morning, and he has a high fever and other serious symptoms. because the patient had recently worked on a medical boat off the case of africa the patient was immediately isolated on a special infectious have
7:02 pm
infectious unit. and he's now undergoing tests. all this coming as there is rising doubt tonight about the federal government's ability to prevent or to control an outbreak of ebola here in the united states. a dallas nurse over the weekend became the first person to contract ebola within the united states. family members confirmed the 26-year-old contracted ebola while caring for thomas eric duncan the man who brought the deadly virus to this country and succumbed to the virus last week. now, we're focusing on cdc's the centers for disease control is still working on compile a list of the health care workers who were actually involved in duncan's care and the director of cdc, dr. thomas frieden is under fire for seemingly blaming the victim for ebola.
7:03 pm
comments that he regretted or at least expressed his regrets about today. >> we don't know what occurred in the care of the index patient, the original patient in dallas, but at some point, there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection. i want to clarify something i said yesterday, some interpreted that as finding fault with the hospital or the health care worker, and i'm sorry if that that was the impression given. that was certainly not my intention. lou: it is, of course, not just dr. frieden there are concerns about just how engaged the president of the united states is. no public events were on his schedule today outside of a quick photo op that was quickly organized with public health officials. and over the weekend, president obama was busier playing his 200th round of golf than
7:04 pm
prioritizing the most severe acute health emergency seen in modern times. we'll be taking all of this up about twoshed be taking charge of the ebola response here in moments. also tonight, islamic state terrorists are moving closer to taking full control of iraq's enbar province after at that after they attacked and seized an army base, the third dawlt of the islamic state 2343 weeks. and tonight reports the islamic state is within miles of the baghdad airport. we'll have the latest in military analysis from admiral james. and investors hoped the stock market would recover from its weekly losses today was shattered. wall street in a dramatic selloff. the dow plunging 222 points. we'll be examining those extraordinary losses and extreme volatility that have followed stock
7:05 pm
index peeks reached last month. we begin with a-- like i said, i can't who is in dallas where it's very, very unclear (?) whether officials can handle an outbrike of this highly infectious disease. >> as concerns grows tonight, five passengers aboard a plane were removed from their flight in boston logan international airport because they had flu like symptoms. they were sent to the hospital. this, cdc director tom frieden acknowledged the dallas cases are forcing the agency to make a shift. >> we have to rethink the way we address ebola infection control because even a single infection is unacceptable. >> with the first known transmission of the ebola virus on u.s. soil, the director of the cdc today acknowledged decades long protocols must change. >> the care of ebola is hard. we're working to make it safer and easier.
7:06 pm
>> most at risk health care workers like the nurse now being monitored in isolation at texas health presbyterian hospital after caring for thomas eric duncan the man who died last week from ebola. her family requesting privacy. >> if this one individual was infected and we don't know how within the isolation unit, then it is possible that other individuals could have been infected as well. >> frieden softened a previous statement in which he said the transmission was from a breach of protocol. today he said he was not putting the blame on her. >> i feel awful that a health care worker became infected in the care of an ebola patient. >> doctors say it is the reveal of protective gear when workers are most vulnerable. as they develop the protocol to deal with the virus, he is telling hospitals to quote think ebola when treating symptomatic patients who have traveled to west africa in a phone call with the white house, frieden discussed the
7:07 pm
white house's response with the president in cabinet. this is the investigation in dallas ramps up. investors creating a map of potential exposures anyone who may have come into contact with duncan or nurse. what proportion will have had contact we'll only know after we complete i that. we cast a wide net and narrow that down. >> one bright note the nbc photographer is improving. >> he's doing great. today he's sitting you up, and no longer having any nausea and vomiting and feeling pretty good and having some food to eat. jurks adding to the tension, waste dpoafl. ebola contaminated hospital waste must be taken to be chemically sterilized, but according to department rules that waste must be treated before going over public roads. lou. charles: thank you very much. the head of the cdc not
7:08 pm
the only one being criticized today so is the head of the -- dr. francis colin. frankly if we had not gone through a ten-year slide in research support we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would have gone through clinical trials and would have been ready. in reality, the national institutes of health's budget has gone up more than $2 million over the past years. joining us to talk about some clear signals from the descrz of disease control that they should be in charge of a nationwide response to ebola which to this point, it looks highly problematic, the response so far. we're joined by mark segal. fox news contributor. good to have you with you us. >> great to be here, lou. lou: let's start first with this bizarre statement coming out of the cdc that there are going to be changes in protocols that --
7:09 pm
excuse me dr. tom frieden that basically the nurse was to blame for her illness. this is pretty nasty stuff on the part of frieden the man who refuses to be forthcoming much what is actually happening in the cdc and in these cases of ebola. >> my first comment isn't going to go as far as you've gone. i think the cdc has been way too formal in observing -- in other words, they've been leaving this to the dallas hospitals who have no experience with protocol whatsoever. no experience with hazmat suits whatsoever. nurses are wearing them that don't have any experience with it. i feel the centers for disease control should have been much more involved with this. and, by the way, this kind of problem, this fumble, causes a great deal of fear and alarm and worry on the part of the american public, and it should. if we can't -- if we don't have anybody we can rely on to help us
7:10 pm
through this epidemic in africa and this crisis here, we can't feel comfortable. lou: i sense more an attitude here, doctor, that is disturbing. it is a bureaucratic, that the federal government can do better than anyone when it has no track record for doing well at all. dr. tom frieden had been in west africa. he was one of the people calling out the alarm (?) and yet he comes back -- the protocols, by the way, at the dallas health care center all those protocols at hospitals all around the country were formulated by the cdc. and then they because someone missed, you know, one element of a protocol or at least so it appears in the judgment of the cdc, to make these statements, is bizarre. >> well, especially when you're caring for a sick person, you're emotionally and you're probably fearful. the compassion she must have felt puts her at risk. so his first response as
7:11 pm
a physician should have been to care for her to be worried about her. lou: he's a bureaucracy. >> i want to see one person who has risen to the occasion. lou: dr. fawchy has been a friend of this broadcast for literally decades. >> he's an expert. we have too many people pontificating that don't have a background like his. lou: one of those people pontificating -- >> he maybe a general it's when he says the budget was cut when he was actually (?) added to over the course of the past ten years, i mean, these people have responsibilities and they -- either ideological or operate in areas in which they have no expertise. he's a brilliant injectsist. he headed up the gentleman gnome project. it's a question of judgment here.
7:12 pm
>> i agree with you 100 percent (?) when we're talking about $32 billion, you can find enough money for a vaccine. it's promising and it looks like a home run. if we had it now, we could give it to millions in west africa. and give it to people at risk. that vaccine could be a game changer. lou: that vaccine is omx1 and the lured of that is dr. anthony fauci. dr. segal thanks for being with us. turning to obama's administration undeclared war against the islamic state terrorists. the radical islamist making major gains in iraq over the past few weeks and months. in syria, kurdish fighters are still holding on, barely to the border city of kobani. reports that u.s. airstrikes have been ramped up now and have begun to hit higher
7:13 pm
profile. greg is at the turkey syria border with this report. >> the battle for kobani is becoming a crucial test of the u.s. -led war on isis and it is increasingly looking like a test that the united states does not want to fail. take a look at what we saw today. >> the grinding siege of kobani goes on. all day long we've been seeing and hearing small arms and machine fire coming from all across this town. the isis terrorists duking it out with the kurdish defenders all day long we've been hearing overhead u.s. jets and seeing airstrikes. the kurds said they're now having an effect. they have turned what looked like an isis route a deadly stand off. kurdish fighters remain outgunned. terrorists have gotten more enforcements and ammunition they're using car and truck bombs against their foe in the kurds favor a lot of
7:14 pm
loablg knowledge and a whole lot of guts appear as for those airstrikes there were seven today against isis targets in and around kobani now, according to washington yesterday, turkey had a agreed to make it easier to conduct those strikes allowing the u.s. to use basis for its bombing runs now it's looking like the only they went agreed use the bases for a training mission to gear up rebels to fight isis and they said nothing about those airstrikes still sorting that one out. finally a anew hashtag is trending on twitter, it is airdrop to kobani calling on the nations of the world to help resupply the embattled kurds. near the turkey syria border. greg fox news. lou: president obama with no clear strategy to degrade and disloi the islamic state terrorists and there is no clear ending at least in sight to those negotiations on the
7:15 pm
iranian nuclear program. what is the president trying to do? we take it up here next.
7:16 pm
7:17 pm
7:18 pm
lou: in the midst of a world seemingly in chaos both ukraine and russia have taken steps to defuse tensions. russia president vladimir putin ordered nearly 18,000 of his troops deployed along the ukraine border to return to their home bases. a ukrainian president says his government now expects a full cease-fire deal when the two men meet again friday. fighting intensified in the border -- some confusion about turkey's
7:19 pm
role in the coalition, at least amongst members of the administration. comments from the national security advisor, susan rice contributing mightily to that confusion. >> they have said that there are facilities inside of turkey can be used by the coalition forces. american and otherwise to engage in activities inside of iraq and syria. that's a new commitment and one we very much welcome. >> it may be welcomed, but the turkish government said there is no deal that would allow american forces to use its bases for strikes against the islamic state. joining us former nato commander dena admiral james author of the new book the accidental admiral. it's good to have you with us admiral. >> great to see you, lou. lou: let me ask you, this administration and at least its
7:20 pm
national security advisor susan rice to screw up and to contradict one another over turkish approval to use air bases is no small matter, is it? >> it's not and frankly we have to get turkey into the game here. we need not only air bases, but we're going to need turkish troops. they have the second largest army in nato almost 5,000 available troops. they will need to be a part of this and a lot of confusion at this sustainable is not helping. lou: and that confusion extends to the islamic state. an air campaign submitted to this president and his own general saying very clearly, very clearly that an air campaign will not degrade and dedestroy the islamic state. what are we to do? >> i think we've got to get more u.s. boots on the ground. now, that doesn't mean that we're going to have
7:21 pm
150,000 troops as we did in iraq at the peek, but we need special forces. we need advisors. we need folks who can call in the airstrikes, and we need themwe've got to but up. probably 10,000 troops ultimately are going to be necessary. the sooner we recognize that the better. secondly we need to get nato engaged here. this doesn't need to all be done by the united states. particularly turkey within that nato alliance and then we need to get our nato partners involved. we're not going to get this done from from the air. lou: the administration, our secretary of state basically telling everyone to step back on the issue of kobani that looks as though it's on the verge of falling to the islamic state. and to take a broader perspective that it's not effectively a strategic, strategic, strategic value to the united states. yet we have begun apparently to ramp up
7:22 pm
our airstrikes tonight. is it in your judgment strategic and what should be done if indeed this rather sizable town on the border with turkey does fall? >> lou, i think it is strategic. in the strategic communication sense. the campaign against isis isn't going to rise or fall based on what happens in kobani, but it has enormous symbolic value. it's going to be kind of like the alamo in a certain sense. what should we do? we should be doing more than airstrikes a day, just seven. we ought to be replying the kurdish who are very capable and very brave. they're fighting for their families. i think it's important to realize that. i think we can pull this one out. it's vitally important and i would argue of strategic value. lou: and of strategic importance which is a subset, if you will, to all of this is, of course, the presence of of iran and its
7:23 pm
interest and its initiatives in the region. what should the united states be doing with iran that is besides negotiating if you believe some reports, negotiatinnegotiating permission for iran to be a nuclear weapon state. >> i think we need to continue to keep the sanctions pressure on and we'll have to probably ratchet those up if we want to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon which everyone agrees absolutely must not happen. additionally along the isis side of things, we're going to find ourselves operating in the same battle space with iranian forces. we need to deconflict that and make sure we don't have an inadvertent fire strike going one way or the other that could accelerate a real problem with iran. it's a a very complicated one. fundamentally we need to keep pressure on iran and make sure they do not get a nuclear weapon.
7:24 pm
lou: admiral, thanks for being with us. james. his book is the accidental admiral and what i know of the admiral there was nothing accidental about it at all. we recommend the book to you highly. time for a look at our online poll results. we ask if you believe the president's poll numbers will rebound any time soon. 98 percent of you said no you don't think so. be sure to vote on our poll tonight. do you consider the obama presidency to be an irrelevant remedial failure. your vote. texas gubernatorialtorial we wendy davis blasted from democrats and republicans alike. her opponent greg abbott with his thoughts here

7:28 pm
analysis on what is going on. texas democrat wendy day of is davis under fire from left and right for her controversial new ad, taking aim at her opponent for governor. >> a tree fell on abbott, he argueed a woman whose leg was amputateed was not disabled because she had an artificial limb. ruled against a rape victim. he sideed with a hospital this failed to stop a dangerous surgeon who paralyzed patients, greg abbott, he is not for you. lou: davis today defending the ad, calling abbott a hypocrite, and did not apologize, attorney general of texas, greg abbott is joining us, mr. attorney general good to have you with us.
7:29 pm
i can tell you what most people feel, your reaction? >> well, my reaction is she can attack a guy in a wheelchair if she wants to but i don't think it will sell well, my focus will be on casting a positive vision as next governor of texas about what i will achieve by creating jobs, by secureing the border, she can attack me while i attack the challenges that our fellow texans face. lou: you know, that is about the reaction i thought you would have. geting to know you some over the years. the voter i.d. ruling, i want to get this right, going up against u.s. justice department, representing the great state of texas, what is your record now? >> well, i filed 30 lawsuit against obama administration we have a winning record, there are still some in the pipeline, we
7:30 pm
have won more than lost. lou: i think that everyone needed to hear. i was going to say, i want to make sure i have the right number, that is the conclusion. that is a rare thing against this administration particularly after they go after you and the state of texas. voter i.d. ruling how would that effect these elections. >> a lot, let me cast this issue, that is, we had eric holder come to state of texas to challenge the voter identity law, in the courtroom of a justice who was appointed by barack obama, we had a challenging begining to this the ruling was issued. we have appealed to fifth circuit asking for immediate release for same reason u.s. supreme court would put a stay for the wisconsin voter i.d. law, we think that supreme court or court of appeals will put a stay for this particular ruling and allow voter rid i.d. law toe
7:31 pm
effect for this election. lou: where will we be this election day. >> in texas early voting begins a week from today. we're asking for clarity on this today or tomorrow. and if we don't hear from fifth circuit we'll go to the supreme court tomorrow. asking fo clarity, we will eithr have the voter i.d. law like we've it or not a requirement that people show a photo i.d. when they vote. lou: you can handle consequences i guess? >> that is a fact, texas will be prepared either way. but more personally, when the sun sets on this legal issue. i think that supreme court can can and should uphold validity of voter i.d., let me points this out in south texas fbi has been involved in making arrests, and
7:32 pm
now people who pled guilty for using cocaine to buy votes. voter fraud exists in the state of texas, it must be stopped, voter i.d. is one way to crackdown on it. lou: ebola, state of texas, unfortunately, is the epicenter of ebola right now in this country, your thoughts on way in which there seems to be a contest between washington, d.c., and the staeuft of texas state of texas over who'll decide to ebola. >> this does require a national and state and local level response, this is a all hands on deck response, first thing we must do is prevent ebola from am canning -- from coming into the united states, then we have to be able to address it very aggressively, curtail this expansion then help try to cure the people who have ebola.
7:33 pm
lou: attorney general greg abbott always good to see you thank you for joining us. >> thank you, lou. lou: up next, a triple-digit sell-off on wall street in the final hour of trading, investors wondering what happens tomorrow? what happened today? the answers to both questions are here, next, stay with us. go ahead and put your bag right here. have a nice flight! traveling can feel like one big mystery.

7:36 pm
lou: a huge sell-off for stocks today again. dow tumbleing 223. s&p down 31. nasdaq falling 63 points, volume on big tujunga 4.3 -- biggs board 4. bee billion shares, what is happening? we find out with sam stoval, this is no longer amusing, i think this minds of most investors, some folks are scared and sick at the losses they have experienced over the course of last couple of weeks, your
7:37 pm
thoughts about why we've seen the volatility and losses? >> it is a what if sell-off. what if ebola gets out of hand, and spreads in u.s.? what if isis gains more control, we find that iraq ends up a terrorist nation? what if we find that europe slips into a third recession? a matter of years, therefore bringing down the global economic growth prospect. right now it seems as if the worries, the emotional factors are driveing equity prices, the fundamentals expectations for earnings and economic growth remain firm. lou: fairly firm but we're looking at degradeed expectations on the part of a lot of those stocks, we're also looking at slowing growth, still strong, but at least by our standards, strong growth in china but slower than it has been, economic growth there
7:38 pm
europe looks as if there is no turning back, they are on a slide from which it does not look like they will recover soon, just a question of how far the slide goes. am i missing something? >> you have to put magnitudes in perspective, china's growth is expected to go down to 7.1%, u.s. is very happy if we hit 3%. i think using that perspective, more than 2 times what we've been experiencing is what china is slowing down to. europe is a develop matter. -- a different matter, it sit in recession, and france? recession. and the engine of optimism in europe, germany, it showing signs of slowing down, even though their manufacturersing surveys are showing expansion, the worry is what if. that is what investors have to contend with and wait for more data. lou: let's play th the game of t
7:39 pm
if. put it on the bull side. what is the what if that would cause a person to go into this market say, i think i'll just put money on the line today? >> well, i -- >> i don't see that what if, to be candid with you. >>t be great if we got a 5 to 10% react. now when it comes people are thinking, you know forget, that i am going to sell everything and wait until it turns. but actually, more than 85% of all declines, of 5% or more, since ward wor world war ii have recovered all they lost in 4 months it is beter to buy, at 5, 10, 15% decline thresholds. lou: sam stoval, is saying this is a correction?
7:40 pm
>> i believe it is, i believe that the u.s. economy will be growing by about 3% this year, 3 plus% next year. that earnings expectations are looking for about soefrp t 7 toh this year, next year more. lou: sam stuffal thank you. >> my pleasure. lou: listen to my financial report 3 times a day, coast-to-coast on the salem radio network. >> to week box office, gone girl held on to top spot for a second week in a row. dracula untold in sending place. -- second place, not so bad. they staged a series of demonstrations overkilling of teenager michael brown, 42 people were arrested by early
7:41 pm

7:43 pm
7:44 pm
lou: we're going to strategist ed rollins, and dana lash in a moment looking at what is going on in body politic, in the day's news development. but first, democratic desperation is thick in the air. with three weeks until election day, in today's edition washington post giving republicans a 94% chance of wining control of the senate, 94%. that is almost a sure deal, right? to say that is up dramatically from last week's 78% is a under
7:45 pm
statement. "new york times" also projects a clear republican senate takeover giving g.o.p. 64% chance of doing so. nate silver offering odds 58%, a new poll shows among those most interested in midterms 51% prefer republican candidate. 44% the democrat. democratic desperation may be forgiveible. but not decisions to air attack ads that blames republicans for spread of ebola, take this desperate and unprincipaled ad from a liberal group, the agenda project. >> cdc said its discretionary funding has been cut by 585 million since 2010. >> cut. >> cut. >> cut. >> our budget has:slashed since 2003. in is damageing. >> cut. >> that was the left hook.
7:46 pm
>> cut, cut. >> the right cross was sequestration. >> nih saw its think about slashed by 436 billion. lou: texas democratic gubernatorial candidate, wendy davis, attacking greg abbott. classless, appalling? and by the way, untrue. now quotation of the evening from nike cofounder. phil knight, said there i is an irk mute able conflict at work in life and in, a constant battle between peace and chaos, neither can be mastered but both can be influenced, how you go about that is the key to success. >> up next, the president's first chief of staff famous he said, never let a crisis go to waste.
7:47 pm
some democratic party following his advice, at least one ebola scare ad, we'll take up that next with ed rollins and dana lash. stay with us. 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. (receptionist) gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. i just talked to ups. they got expert advise, special discounts, new technologies. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics.
7:48 pm
7:49 pm
7:50 pm
lou: a quick update on ebola report with which we began the project, cdc says there is an exceedingly low risk that 5 sick passengers, board that emirates airline plane in boston logan international have ebola. the same unfortunately cannot be said for a patient in university of kansas hospital, who is under going tests for ebola, he worked on a medical boat off of the west coast of africa, reported
7:51 pm
to be very weak, and he did self report, and bring himself in for care. joining us now, radio talk show host, contributor to the blaze, dana lash. former reagan blissal director ed rollins. dana, an ad by the democratic group, agenda project, focusing on blame -- trying to blame the ebola outbreak on republicans. your reaction? >> well, at first it was fault of nra then republicans now george w. bush's fault, under his administration spending toward nih increasing 60%, and has not changed much with obama administration, dropped .7%. it is so unbelievablely silly. this is an issue of priorities, of what the nih wants to prior ties, and not, if they a discussion about funding into
7:52 pm
them about questionable spending, we spend 1.5 billion to study lesbian oh obesity, and sex life of quails, and wha what happens in monkeys get drunk. lou: the quail thing, let's talk about that. ed. >> i have been drunk with monkeys, i can tell you that. [ laughter ] lou: before this goes any further. let me turn to the white house, ebola response, president playing golf, as it his want, coming in for a photo op, it is columbus day. not sure why anyone is celebrateing it a lot, a little bit in new york city, what is the president doing? >> he does not understand, his role is to make things appear more serious than they are. whether isis or this, which are serious problems, you can't go outdo a 15 second briefing then go run and play golf, and pretend it is okay, this
7:53 pm
