from west point his is a war story that is deserved to be told. i am oliver north. goodnight. e going to lou dobbs. lou: good evening. i am lou dobbs. president obama on the west coast today looking for the help of silicon valley for foreign cyberattacks but the president offered few ideas and no new ones. headline days cybersecurity summit at stanford university of amasses cyberthreats in did not appear to be listening to any of their concerns or council. some of the most important people at the technology industry was of no show showing the displeasure of

the data sharing proposal. very page mark zuckerberg and andros nuncio person they're all declining invitations. and purely symbolic. >> i am signing a new executive order about cyberthreats within the private sector and between government and the private sector. it will encourage more to share information with each other. lou: we will be joined by the beating cybersecurity experts. also tonight the former head of intelligence blasted the national security strategy and offer the commander in chief a sobering assessment of the islamic threat and though white house continues to downplay. >> i had the unhappy task

that according to every metric of significance islamism -- extreme is and has grown some arguing it is not the existential threat i respectfully and strongly disagree. lou: former ambassador to iraq is our guest hands the president has decided to resume his assault on law-enforcement agencies and officers. chicago resident and a talk-show host is with us tonight with 25 islamic state terrorist attack a base at the employer -- the in our province. they were just 2 miles away. iraqi security forces to the press secretary however made

it low-key. >> we should not make more out of this. air not saying we're dismissing the seriousness of for the increased activity. this is an enemy with a defensive posture. it is one town. not all of alabama are all of iraq. we need to keep it in perspective. lou: it is just one third of iraq. the former ambassador will join us now at the school of international studies at the university of denver and author of the book outpost and it is great to have you with us tonight. let's start with the downplaying of this attack about 12 minutes away. what is the though world is

the purpose to downplay the incident? >> it is what it is but there are some signs but first of all, the pentagon is correct that it is not going well for ices on the battlefield the you see the suicide bombing. i think we are entering a phase they may begin to start to target our traders. although there has been progress, much has been accomplished by the shiite militia groups. to see the iraqi army was sunii and she and others involved but unfortunately we see the progress coming from the shiite militia groups so there is the pressure to get that iraqi army functioning.

and with places that are not safe we will face this threat. lou: one-third of syria and one-third of iraq's are under the influence of the islamic state. talk about things are going better but the link wage being used and the rhetoric from the pentagon or the white house or the state department if they see the possibility of the islamic states move into a defensive posture if in regency those early signs that is why they attacked with more than to more with intensity. this is the same nonsense we heard in iraq. it is history repeating itself and it is disconcerting and a troubling when it is repeated by our own government.

>> if there any major developments with the onslaught of vices has been slowed. but of the second largest city in iraq and they had really wanted to move on that. the fact they're not ready to move shows it is the good problem. to trade them up the real iraqi force. with the city verses' she get it in iraq and then you look at syria and then there is no political way for word the u.s. is essentially declared all the participants like isis or

assad that we'd like to see simultaneously lose but some will win. we need to pick a side to be on and we don't know to not have a politically to have a way forward. >> we do have a winner right now. as things stand now the winner would be i rand, the government of baghdad with the government of syria, obviously assad supported in large measure by iran. with the controlling influence of the events in did not yet been. why can the state department or the white house speaker straightforward about the influence of iran and we are

here as they assert themselves to a far greater degree? >> most understandable region is of less than polarized between shia and sunii and influence has served the rescue the assad regime keeping the ties to northern lebanon and has a lot. so the country that is really worried is not just the united states but also sell arabia. with the approach on the northern border worried about isis. and to be worried about shia in the north? now worried about the regime

in yemen with the iranian support. so to have an ally in the region is a real concern to have that bipartisan group to saudi arabia is a reflection of your not sure where this is going and it will be very tough. lou: the type of decision that you talk about with the lack of the initiative and a strategy after 14 years of constant engagement is inexplicable for most of us. we appreciate your insight. argentina's president today formally charged with helping to cover-up the role of the worst terrorist attack two decades ago. the charges were brought by

a prosecutor who inherited the high-profile case after the mysterious death of a prosecutor last month. found murdered in his apartment from a gunshot wound to the head one day before he was scheduled to you testify on his accusations to congress. the new succeeding prosecutor will try to prove that they try to secret the derail a criminal investigation into the 1994 bombing in buenos aires that killed 85 people, most of them children. kirschner denies the allegations and the judge will decide if the case goes to trial and we will follow those developments. stay with us. we will be back with more of the events of the data. >> he loves to lecturer and the lecturing to us at tech community on cyberterrorism

but the most important ceos are not in attendance. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping.

congratulations. you're down with crestor. yes! when diet and exercise aren't enough, adding crestor lowers bad cholesterol up to 55%. crestor is not for people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor all medicines you take. call your doctor if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of serious side effects. i'm down with crestor! make your move. ask your doctor about crestor.

lou: president obama of snubbed by top technology executives are urging better

cooperation between the government and companies on cybersecurity. and joining us now is top-sider security experts john, and bruce and it is good to have you both here. this president signs the executive order that does nothing then asking for help this is a peculiar piece the staging. >> it is interesting because we have been sharing data and they started a partnership between the fbi and the private sector. this is nothing new. when i am concerned about is what type of weather data that he wants to get to. loughs with the report that

says but immunity from what? >> it doesn't make sense because they offer a shield so where does the balance fall on the company? said to offer the indemnification connections require companies to oversubscribe in search of becoming indemnified because of the company is negligent it should go to court for the american taxpayer. lou: if i have this right

into our servers with the reckless villiers to provide security for your customers or clients like target or other companies, home depot without to the sec response or a federal response to say you have a fiduciary duty to protect the information of your customers whether a chinese actor or whenever it may be. >> i agree. cybersecurity keeps the data is safe it has nothing to do with immunity. where does it come from? it is like wall street. it is that same type of scenario to give them something in return.

for those that actually have an issue. >> but they won the daybed to fated to the new agency that falls under the director of national intelligence and there is of a distrust between corporations that has a bent to it there is no way they would feed their data directly into the intelligence community why the ceos did not show up today because with the misuse of the data and if they show up in support of this legislation they are affected as well. >> is the case of google had a technology officer there but the others will not

there. >> they are not buying into this. i have a problem going after terrorism but after boston how do they not catch that? what were they looking at? >> the big companies right now have the shield to propose legislation from the national u.s. operations. because in the end they will be harmed pretty significantly if it is shortsighted requiring companies to report directly into the national intel stream. >> to correctly analyze the road show the fact is nothing was done and

cybersecurity it added remains status quo. >> with good political speeches should have been on the campaign trail. with the 30 million indeed representation in. lou: we appreciate you being here as always. >> but do you believe the president or the fbi director are being honest and helpful as they generalize about race relations in america? to talk about prejudice and bias to communities. 97 percent said no. vote tonight do you find it standing that technology

companies are more concerned with security when it comes to government intrusion rather than cyberattacks on customers' personal information in their possession? lou dobbs.com. a mother told us that after firefighters in orange park florida allowed her to torched the house where her seven year-old daughter was brutally raped and murdered. the convicted killer serving a life sentence. the call was foreclosed and given to the fire department for treating exercise a gave the victims of the opportunity to light the match to burn it to the ground. >> it helps with my frustration and acre of what he did to her. he is not in there but for ever i will be known as the woman who got to burn the house. >> i have a village of people behind me holding the

up. lou: quite a village. klay to a mother. here are rare bit of honesty on the president's failures. that the answer coming up. in this illegal amnesty fiat with the most cherished rights you can't predict the market. but at t. rowe price we've helped guide our clients through good times and bad.

lou:, of seattle has a lame duck status. those like mark zuckerberg and larry page and eric schmidt and others to attend the cybersecurity seminar on the west coast the in the still don't show up even after making it more convenient and then sticking to the talking points to say

anything positive about anything like the vice president. >> to state the obvious the pouch -- the past six years have been really hard for this country and tough for our party. but together but we made several the really tough decisions that were not an all popular. lou: i think he heard interesting link wage from the white house after that. but with the lame duck status this is the top counterterrorism official yesterday that it committed the overthrow from u.s. intelligence officials were caught off guard. >> dash day advance that they were unopposed.

so that it is the willingness of the fighters to fight because they match up the orders of battle to match up the resources. there is no way that would happen in but did did. over the past few months deteriorates far more rapidly than expected. >> the state department last night could not find a way to whitewash the president's failures in libya. >> we had to colada syria, the embassy compound of libya and then to pull out of yemen and it seems clear american influence in addition fluids is diminishing that a buy rating. is that not correct? >> looking at libya others

have spoken about what more we could have been and should have done. lou: and the administration has reached a critical turning point to embrace honesty, straightforwardness and transparency. in that made the remedial in the short time that this administration has time in office and it is 706 days if you're counting. liquidation of the evening. to say failure is simply the opportunity to begin again. this time more intelligently. you hope somebody is listening. >> a cease-fire to begin the world is filled with air. but for people with copd sometimes breathing air can be difficult.

lou: top stories are following the president's amnesty's she got more disturbing by the day learning that under his executive fiat receiving access to welfare benefits and obamacare and tax refunds even if they did not pay taxes. now awarding that amnesty fiat by which is the goal

immigrants can vote in the country's. >> this will make it more difficult for election officials to determine if they beat the primary standard for voting witches' u.s. citizenship by an here tuesday that we cannot follow the federal law and executive action to ensure the election process without further assistance from congress or the obama administration. >> republicans vial to look into of the problem. nasa researchers are warning of the central plains and southwest could have they may get drought in the coming decade the lakes that we have not seen in over 1,000 years. california is already facing very dry conditions in scientists say we could see even worse conditions that could last up to 50 years.

the above administration accused russia of having a massive amount of artillery to joint rubbles to attack ukrainian forces. in dozens of others wounded in the next guest says the cease-fire agreements are set to begin to turn night and another huge win for vladimir putin. colonel ralph peters, good to have you here. >> is a triumph. unbelievable. in the deal, basically putting got everything he could have asked for short of legal title but the

angela merkle and other europeans are imposing more sanctions but it is unbelievable. nobody is talking about crimea there already given that to putin. and this allows the henchman's separatist to keep all of the additional the and they have stolen in the last six months with vague promises that they get to restore the borders. no. they all in it and not giving it back. on top of that with the russian and troops or forces or artillery, three and a half more days to grab more to oratory. right now with the ukrainians are almost surrounded and nobody cares. lou: the president has one

defense of ukrainian policy. angela merkle has been the leader of the free world as she faced off with vladimir putin. turning to yemen that is that an amazing pace and the counterterrorism director said intelligence missed what was happening. what do you think? >> i of hearing something totally different. people have been in and out of yemen for years and you could look at the headlines to know it was coming apart. but at the political level to recognize what was unfolding before everyone's eyes. this administration is the ultimate austrasia head in the scene and would not recognize what is happening in libya or iraq or afghanistan and is utterly

confused about syria. in apparently the only enemy they have got to is this one? >> that it is an extension of the don't do anything stupid stuff? instead of the word he used. i think it'd sure for don't do anything. the united states cannot do everything everywhere but sometimes they have to do something somewhere. the constant approach to strategy is with the political issue is hurting us very badly. last week a call for the collapse use of force asking to deny a with he doesn't

want to do anyway with ground troops. is a scam and it is vital. lou: take you for being with us. >> police presence is heavier than normal after chinese sales man ran his automobile into the front gate injuring the paramilitary officer while doing so. saying he was delusional and recently refused to leave home for one month fearful of being assassinated. the incident is under investigation. the fact that it was a busy was pure chance. and to look at the rampant assaults of law enforcement in the investigation and to brian williams has another collection of tall tales or something worse.

next. if you're taking multiple medications does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene available as an oral rinse toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth.

lou: yesterday's the director of the fbi sounded a lot like the president and attorney general eric holder talking about race and

law-enforcement. >> to young black men like so many others fled to white men even on the of the side do not. the officer did not make the same association about the two white guys whether white or black. >> it is great to have you with us. but i just cannot believe the president sent out the fbi director who is highly respected official about the about politics. >> you think it was politics? >> don't shoot the messenger. >> but i will not put up with attorney-general said and fbi paid directors that

they have a higher calling than the american people. >> he is serving the people well by opening a conversation. race makes the headline but looking at how police and the citizenry relate to one another expressing frustration not finding data and that is the conversation that all americans want to have. lou: the business about raising consciousness or the conversation that only the administration to take political the vantage of racial incidents do they want to have the conversation. they have been notoriously wrong headed it might opinion because they start with the judgment than tried to find the facts or send messages that support the

insupportable conclusion. they had to exculpate the man that they demonize to support reverend al sharpton which is about says upside-down. >> i don't think so. >> when i face of the attorney-general. [laughter] >> they have spoken of personal experience of racism in america being stopped by the police and on and on. that is an important conversation of white man killed on-camera. but it always gets the headlines. lou: who? the president of united states instead of bringing

people together? >> michael bloomberg represent -- recommends that parents be taken out of the hands of the young male minority teenagers. >> i was absolutely shocked by that. >> that is not true in the numbers are off but you cannot deny americans a fundamental right to bear arms. now whenever they are we could find agreement. but what we are not doing we are not honest with this conversation is about. that every very kid needs to have this right. lou: the larger point was there not occurring because

of law-enforcement the young black men are killing one another. >> most are interracial and we have to decide. lou: if we have leaders that divide us or unite us to not play games with the right -- with race. >> that is why what you to run for president. lou: happy valentine's day. the dell gains 47-point skene 18,000 and the s&p is up in the nasdaq up 36 per call volume on the big board is up and the weekly gains of more than a 3 percent that is not bad for a president who was supposed to be anti-business. crude-oil is up. be sure to listen to my financial report three times a day coast-to-coast on this a love radio network. brian williams scandals not

getting better the suspended acres accused of stretching the truth or online with three other incidents he claims he flew into baghdad with navy seal team six since they have never embedded journalist i think that would be a bad idea. williams claims he was there the night the wall came down begot there one day later. also pope john paul ii he met them and their homage interaction he had of though the version has differed slightly over the years. 50 shades of gray, scott

walker has something in common with half of the faces. next.

in my world, wall isn't a street. return on investment isn't the only return i'm looking forward to. for some every dollar is earned with sweat, sacrifice, courage. which is why usaa is honored to help our members with everything from investing for retirement to saving for college. our commitment to current and former military members and their families is without equal. start investing with as little as fifty dollars. lou: expectations sky-high for the debut of "50 shades of gray" movie. they expect it to pull in $85 million. some critics not hot on the film. fewer than 50 minutes of

the movie futures sex. the woman doesn't orgasm in the film like in the book. this has gone viral. >> is the 30-something jerk of a billionaire that never seems to work. a narcissist no one could love. meanwhile, dakota johnson is the lip biting. could someone get that girl a chapstick? anastasia falls in love with the aforementioned jerk and single-handedly sells women cardio the across the world short. >> as you can see the movie is evoking great emotion. we'll keep you posted. howard dean the latest to hit governor scott walker dismissing the candidate for not having a college degree. >> the issue is, how well educated is this guy? that's the problem? >> are you serious?

are you serious? >> yeah. >> he didn't finish his -- >> are you saying he's not qualified because he didn't finish college? >> i think there will be a lot of people that worry -- >> do you worry about people that don't finish college? >> i worry about people being president of the united states not knowing much about the world. >> he's not dumb because he didn't graduate college except you. >> i didn't say dumb, i said knowledgeable. lou: there's bill gates. a few friends that made a million dollars. met slap and his wife spokesperson for george w. bush. mercedes. mercedes, let's start with you. (?) john dean can be a nasty son of a gun -- i mean, howard dean can be a nasty son of a gun. but that was quite something. >> it was a very low blow and snobbish. it seeps through his

elitism and the fact going after scott walker because he does not have a college degree. only 31% of americans have bachelor's degrees in america. and, again, we have these presidents like president george washington, president abraham lincoln, great presidents with no college degrees. it was a low blow. i'm not surprised. governor dean has made these outlandish comments time and time again. lou: the washington post did a hit piece on him. questions lingering after leaving college. have you seen a weaker sort of just silly attempted hit job by the the post? >> hey, i haven't. if i were scott walker, his camp i'd be fine with this hit. 70% of the american people that do what you did. i like those numbers. when i watch howard dean talk i'm reminded quickly why he didn't become the president of the united states.

lou: well, and the list goes on i believe, on that particular category. the department of homeland security, explain this one to me, mercedes, department of homeland security they're going to set up three votes, moich mitch mcconnell, they won't get closer of closure of votes. what's the purpose of this? signing bills going nowhere. >> i call it the hot potato. the senate has the potato. they want to ship it back to the house. mitch mcconnell at first he wasn't going to push forward on the vote. he decided to do it. it's a symbolic vote. the senate won't afford another shutdown. and i think they're just stuck in a corner. i think it will be very hard for the majority leader to figure a way out of this. it's been very interesting to see the fighting going on between speaker boehner and mitch mcconnell. >> does this make the

republicans in your view look impotent with majority control of the senate and house they're running up against a president who is stymieing them on every front, it seems. >> well, i have to say, john mccain is voting with the democrats and urging other republicans to do that. if the republicans can't stick together to get 54 votes, they won't win on many things. the fact is, on the last election, i wish they would be clear with the message. in the senate, it takes 60. having more than 50 is great, you can pick the majority leader. it takes 60 to get work done. it's a hard cold reality that american people and the conservatives are realizing. who knows where it will end. it might not be good. >> it might not be good. and should, in fact mitch mcconnell blow up the -- the 60 vote rule in the filibuster. >> he already said he

won't do that. >> my view on this, mercy, is that more often than not republicans will be in the minority in the senate. and the idea of it taking a super majority of big things to get passed is a good thing. obamacare passed because democrats got 60 votes in the senate. never give the democrats 60 votes in the senate again. lou: that's one of the lessons we can draw from it. the other could be that the republicans -- we can go on with the lessons there. let me ask you this, ginsberg admitted she wasn't 100% sober at the state of the union. high marks for candor or should she not be boozing it up at the union. >> wow being 81 years old and boozing it up. for that long one hour speech, that was probably a good idea for ginsberg. >> i don't know how anybody gets through it

without that. give your wife the last word there partner. >> happy valentine's day. >> you too sweetheart, >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. stossel: they soon did. but now some americans say things like this. >> capitalism is an evil system set up to benefit the few at the expense of the many. stossel: really? how is the alternative working out? >> there is no fresh bread or meat on sale. stossel: presidentpresident obama wants us to open relationships with cuba. >> we will end an outdated approach that fails to advance our interests. >> what are our interests? many americans think communism is just fine. >> who is on your shirt? che. >> communism versus capitalism, that's our
