a sign of weakness according to some. the grilling interview airing on 60 minutes. >> i have to tell you that if you think that running your economy into the ground and having to send troops in in order to prop up your only ally, then we have a different definition of leadership. lori: to me now is colonel ralph peters. so do you buy the president's reasoning there? do you think that he is simply in denial about the threat from vladimir putin and a dwindling influence in the u.s. middle east? >> he is chasing unicorns. our president refuses to understand vladimir putin. furthermore, he doesn't understand the russians or warfare or islamic state.

and he lives in this bubble. i speak russian, i understand russian. lori: i get what you're saying. >> but the russians are not going to suddenly do this because there's another thing that our president doesn't understand and that is pride in our country. russians are very proud of the fact that let 'er rip hooton took a broken country and turned it into at least the illusion of a great power again and at the end of the day, he is willing to do what it takes. and in warfare, strength of will

is more powerful than sheer weaponry. >> how do you read that they pulled the plug on this. does this mean that the u.s. is in retreat, whether or not the president wants met what that is about. >> the u.s. has been in retreat. but the basic idea for the program is flawed. we americans always convince ourselves that we get off cheaply persuading other people to fight for what we want them to fight for and it doesn't work like that. people fight for what they believe in what they want to fight for. and they want to go out after bashar al-assad and they say oh, no he, you cannot use our weapons to do this. and the world is just not like that. and by the way, back to the president's remarks in the interview about how well the ukraine is doing. they lost crimea, they lost the industrial east.

let 'er rip hooton is taking a vacation in syria. a. lori: is there anything that would provoke an active response and obama? >> when i hear conservatives now calling for a no-fly zone at this point, it is too late. you try to impose this or a stone in syria now, vladimir putin will challenge them, including fighting in a combat with u.s. forces and obama would back down and it would be a greater humiliation for us and you do not impose no-fly zones must you need to follow through. and the president, he's always shined it up as cheaply as possible. and sometimes you have to apply common sense. the greatest advantage of being a superpower is superpower.

lori: are receiving control the middle east to iran and russia? >> this is one of the times that i disagree with kt mcfarland about him walking away. he's crawling away like a hamster. but israel first. benjamin netanyahu understands and he has already made his pilgrimage to moscow to try to cozy up to vladimir putin. and obama, tending to look at problems as though it's way over there. and another great advantage in addition to ruthlessness that he has is that he sees the whole picture. this alliance is forged with

iran, and iraq, it used to be archives and hezbollah, he is siding with the shiite muslims against the sunni moslems. he is building it is an arc of countries from the mediterranean that will be russia family, dominated by iran and the shiite. and overshadow not just israel but the world's greatest concentration of oil and gas slide. let 'er rip hooton is thinking ahead. president obama is improvising from day-to-day, always reacting. if you don't have the initiative of a guy like this, you are going to lose. lori: especially if you saw him play hockey this week, right? >> russian women eat it up. lori: i was intrigued. i will leave it at that. colonel ralph peters, thank you for your insight. be sure to vote in tonight's poll. is the obama administration in

absolute no. so we will be taking up the speaker's race with our panel here in a couple of minutes. someone who is running but struggling is hillary clinton, the first presidential debate for the democrats is set for next tuesday. clinton has been trying to fend off the surge by bernie sanders. >> the next two and a half weeks may be the most critical juncture for hillary clinton to reboot her struggling presidential campaign. >> these are opportunities. she will either be well or blow them. >> next week at clinton is going to be in las vegas to face a political debate for the first time in seven years as the party's five current candidates for president take the stage for the first time. three days later her close aide

goes behind closed doors for testimony before the house select committee on benghazi. setting the stage for the dramatic october 22 public testimony before trey gowdy's panel. two days later clinton had to come up big at one of the most important cattle calls of the race. the high-profile jefferson jackson dinner in iowa. then they will have another batch of e-mails released by the state department trey gowdy released new ones come including a message to clinton where sidney blumenthal sent her the actual name of the person that had provided the cia intelligence information on the ground in libya. trey gowdy noted that secretary clinton forwarded the e-mail to a colleague, debunking her claim that she never sent any classified information from her private e-mail address. as for the dinner in iowa, back in 2007 it became a pivotal moment on the road to clinton

finishing third in the caucuses. >> changes a word. if you don't have the strength and experience to make it happen. >> than senator barack obama put his finger on a problem that is plaguing clinton three years later. >> telling the american people what we think they want to hear instead of telling the american people what they need to hear. it just won't do. >> this week clinton flip-flopped on another issue. opposing the transpacific partnership, risking a fracture of the obama coalition. and one reason that she went behind closed doors with black lives matter activists. >> the new yorker reported some of the advisers were going over the rules if you get in. adding that joe biden is lining up staff just in case.

lori: ed henry. on the republican side, donald trump and ted cruz used to play nice with one another. ted cruz sought donald as an ally. even campaign together. trump called him a friend of mine and a good guy. they hung out together at trump tower. and well, it looks like that is over. ted cruz issued his harshest criticism of him yet. saying in a radio interview that donald trump definitely won't be the republican nominee. >> i think in time, don't believe that he's going to be the nominee and i think that in time the lions share of his supporters will end up with us. >> the kurds have felt that if he drops out it will be an antiestablishment factor. lori: we were coming right back with his latest move means for

♪i see trees of green ♪red roses too ♪i see them bloom ♪for me and you ♪and i think to myself ♪what a wonderful world ♪music ♪oh yeah . lori: hi, everybody, i'm lori in for lou dobbs, the main news at this hour, the obama administration has failed its

effort to equip and train syrian rebels, the $500 million plan was deemed a disaster from the start. only trained a handful of soldiers who fled at the first sign of struggle. and president obama visiting the college shooting for more gun control, and many objected to the trip saying they're still healing from the tragedy. and it's a full on draft paul ryan campaign on capitol hill. ryan saying, no, for now by taking the weekend to think about it more. joining me now, executive editor and fox news contributor, fred barns in dc and here in study with me, forbes contributor, carrie, sheffield, so let me get your thoughts on the speaker race here and just set the stage for me. where were you yesterday? what were your thoughts when mccarthy dropped out and where do we go from here? >> for sure it was a bombshell. i'm here in new york, and i'm curious to hear fred's thoughts since he's in dc. to the average american, it

doesn't matter to them very much. they don't know mccarthy, boehner. lori: well, they know speaker of the house, and they know how much trouble republicans have been in terms of the organization. >> right. lori: so come on in here. what is the news of a bombshell of mccarthy dropping out of the race and what does it do to the republican party? >> it shows that the republican party's in chaos, at least on capitol hill. i don't think there's anyone even paul ryan who can unify the party in the house, a few dozen malcontents who are disrupting and demanding things that no speaker can grant. he don't think people like mitt romney are doing paul ryan any favor. he doesn't want the job, he wants to be chairman of the house committee and handle tax reform and entitlement reform and house speaker -- look, a lot of these conservatives are already calling him a rhino for heaven sakes.

>> or boehner-like. i've heard that. >> it's ridiculous the winner in all of this is barack obama because he looks like the grownup in all of this. like, eric erickson, i disagree it was barack obama. because obama the one that looks like the statesman, and the one reducing to go to capitol hill and the republicans aren't taking advantage of that. lori: so are you optimistic at all that the republican party could work this out? do you think it could have a outcome by 2016. >> i don't know. that's a long time off but in the short time here they're not going to work it out because they -- the person who can unify the party doesn't exist. they may have to take somebody who is just a standin for some months or until the election in 2016. lori: you know, you don't have to be a member of the house of representatives to be a speaker of the house. >> it helps, however,. lori: it does help.

the game show host tweeted today he could be a contender, the game show host, mark cuban tested the waters and trump said back you would be great. kerry, what do you think? who was the unifying guest? >> mark zuckerberg. lori: he's very busy. >> he is busy. lori: and suspecting a child. >> well, what a better way to reunite the country together. lori: so, kerry, in the break you were mentioned we were talking about hillary, and it seems she's attacking left, shifting left. >> right. lori: a lot of people saying this is a strategy to take away the bernie sanders support and president obama against the tpt deal, been introducing wall street reforms, what do you think of the strategy? especially with the first democratic debate.

>> and also the thrilling in the arctics, flip-flopped on that as well. lori: good if i want to b point. >> i believe she's trying to circumvent the left but joe biden in the race eats into hillary, doesn't neat bernie's numbers at all, so she needs to be more applied of joe biden from this challenge on the left. lori: so, fred, we know that biden has had some very important meetings this week to lead most believe, yeah, he's throwing throwing his hat in the ring. so what do you think boyfriend's plans are. >> well, you don't know until somebody announces. when i was in the newspaper business, i wrote wrote a story that some guy decided to run and he was going to announce in the next few days, turns out he didn't announce in the next few days. so i always wait until someone in public says i'm running. but i agree hillary -- biden's the one to worry about and one of the reasons to say she's

against the trade treaty because she knew that would get her to the left of biden, which is in favor of the trade treaty, it's point of impact's treaty. but i don't think this moving to the left by hillary is helping her much because it's so transparent. i mean here she was, she used to tout the trade treaty when she was secretary of state and afterwards. lori: right. got to leave it there, guys. you were terrific. shear barns and kerry sheffield. watch this frightening moment a group of hikers are tossed from a suspension bridge. you don't hear screams, maybe the volume wasn't on? that was terrifying, you can see the moment that one of the cables snapped, sent four tourists plunging more than 25 feet into the river below. luckily the group walked away from this, online minor scratches and bruises. speedy recovery. wow. and the kansas city royals grounds crew member unexpectedly caught in a fight

that he didn't see coming. check this out. you know, the yankees grounds crew even though it was a terrible end to the yankee season, the ymca grounds could would never let that happen. i just had to throw that out. very did i say corruptionlied i am this week. he's okay. rolling a tarp during the ray delay when he slipped and the crew members noticed him, he tinder out okay, and houston offering to beat the royals, how about that 5-2? and a new blow in the obama administration to the courts and donald trump make his make america great again and the trademark of new york city. our legal team rebecca rose and randy patrick are on the case

lori: new york city mayor's bill de blasio might have put the mayor in some legal trouble, wore a red baseball cap with the words make america fair again. his red cap very similar to the trademarked trump campaign slogan of make america great

again. trump filed a trademark on the slogan back in 2012. all right. let's get some legal opinion on all of this, joining me now, wendy patrick and rebecca rose, thank you so much for joining me. okay. so let's just pick up with this hat new york city mayor de blasio is supporting me now. first of all, make america fair again, let's talk about the legal implications. does donald have a case here? >> well, hats speak louder than words, let's say that but you've got to look at the words say. it's virtual identical except fair versus great, and i'm guessing that is a joke, at least that is the way it was portrayed, so it's different when you're saying something as a joke. in other words, he's not using it to further his own agenda, he's using it to be funny and parody is protected. lori: okay. so do you agree that it's a parody hat? does trump have any trademark lawsuit here? >> even if he did, even if we could say, oh, it's not a pair

tee, what's the lawsuit for? there's no ininfringement, there's no money damages that donald is sustaining. it's only quite frankly benefiting him because although anything anyone does in opposition to him helps him. so in the long run, i don't think there will be anything major because he's not going to file a lawsuit. lori: can we talk about the biggest infraction here in that how lame this hat is? make america fair again? it's, like, come on. every kid on the soccer field deserves a trophy these days. it's a little bit -- it's a little -- >> off. lori: there's really nothing there. do you think that's an offensive saying? >> no. and all it is doing is giving donald trump more and more press and he's doing other things, got other things on his mind, he's need going to take the time to file the law but the fact that he marketed it in 2012 shows that would some cheers challenge come about, he would take action there. but not here. >> i think it's also reflective of de blasio who

has had such a hard time in new york city as mayor, and i think it's shining the light of how poor job as mayor. >> didn't i it's best for him to start back and marrying rather than trying to have all of these -- why is he as he getting into this? why? >> right. >> first of all, he's not in the presidential race. lori: right. >> and he's got a lot of important things in this city to really focus on, stop and crime, why are we now getting into a debate with donald trump? donald trump lives in new york and actually pays taxes. lori: yeah, so why are we talking about him? let's move on. let's talk about the fantasy sports of insider trading that went on, one employee won 350,000 grand or something using information that he had at his job and applied it to the competing fantasy football league. is there a class-action lawsuit here for all the players who missed out having this info? >> well, perhaps not all the other players but the one person filed thus far was in competition with the employee that won all of that money. this is an example when you

have unregulated gambling. gambling is highly regulated, and i know a lot of people don't want to view something like this as gambling, but when you think about what you're doing, you're betting money to see if you can win money, you can't really call it anything else and it's under those regulations or i should say lack thereof that some people think they have a suit. >> fantasy football leagues are just so much fun. >> they are. >> and it's big bucks, major sporting arenas, you have teams themselves with huge investments in them. so is the government getting involved and going to ruin all the fun? >> i don't know about ruin the fun but regulate it a bit. because you have someone who has an advantage, they're doing all the stacks at one company and going to another company, some of the people there really up against -- it's an unfair advantage, and we can't have that. lori: you've got yahoo today, the nhl saying workers are not permitted to participant, can it stop there? >> well, what's interesting

about that is that there really wasn't insider trading has been thal allegation. that would have been very different if you took private information. but it's almost taking the techniques, the strategies and using that. that's what makes it such an interesting lawsuit is. >> right. lori: there really was no according to the employees breach of private information. >> right. but we'll see. we don't know. lori: wendy and rebecca, thanks, guys. appreciate it. okay. on wall street have a look at the markets. stocks did close higher today. the dow gained 34 points, the s&p up fractionally, the nasdaq up 20, the market on the board, 3.7 billion shares. on the week, the dow up nearly 3%, the nonprofit posted its biggest weekly gain for the year up more than 3%, nasdaq up 2.5% on the week. up next, she's donald trump's biggest fan. certainly his most enthusiastic, definitely high energy. >> i vote for mr. trump, we vote for mr. trump.

yeah, mr. trump. we love you. we love you all the way to the white house . lori: that almost hurt my ear it was so loud. a moment so perfect, many say it was staged. was it? we have the answer for you. and take it up with our panel radio talk show host, john and mark joining me next. stay with us

. lori: well, whole lot of high energy in las vegas last night as donald trump held a rally there. trump continues to lead in the polls and one enthusiastic supporter extends to the hispanic community. >> where are you from? >> i'm from colombia. >> colombia! >> and is this a setup? did i ever meet you before? >> i'm hispanic and i vote for mr. trump! we vote for mr. trump! yes! mr. trump! we love you! we love you! all the way to the white house! >> i swear to you, i think she's totally beautiful. i never met her before, i swear. lori: well, that speaks volumes, my colleague neil

cavuto spoke to the woman and she assures us that was not a setup. joining us now to discuss this and a whole lot more going on in politics, radio talk show host on wpht in philadelphia domgiordano and mark simone. dom, what's your take on that woman. she was so overly enthusiastic. you buying that she wasn't staged? >> well, i'm sure cavuto got to the bottom of it. everyone has to say mr. trump, not anything else around it. he is such a great showman, anything is possible here. lori: mark, showman? beyond a showman? holding up in the polls, mr. trump. there was chatter he will drop out. >> drop out? lori: that was earlier in the week, but he's sticking by his guns, isn't he? >> what is going on. the twilight zone, he's number one with the big leagues, number one for 87 days.

175 polls and wondering if he'll drop out? george pataki -- >> cruz saying i don't think he'll make the best candidate and i expect his base to come to me. they were tight, ted cruz, that is a surprise. >> i think ted cruz is running against donald trump. i don't think he would be the most objective guy. lori: they were supportive of one another. what's more interesting than the specific trump debate is the anti-establishment theme in terms of the republican contenders, you've got trump, carson and fiorina, one, two, three, they've had it with the establishment. is that a fair point? >> lori, definitely, and carly fiorina had on the show this week is the most establishment and outsider at the same time. carson is the most interesting even more than trump to me. he's been engaged in debates that go on for a week or more over the muslim president thing, the gun stuff this week, robbed in a popeyes and all it does is seem to bump him up.

lori: so how does all of this influence the giant news this week in the huge shocker from the house of representatives that mccarthy is dropping out. he's bailing on the speakership, so there's a little disorganization going on within the republicans and it's exposing the fractures. >> yeah. lori: how will the republicans recoup from this if they can't get a speaker in place by the end of the month? >> they keep using chaos and confusion, whoever was considered to be the front-runner dropped out. there's the most bizarre law you don't have to be a congressman to be speaker of the house. >> newt gingrich talked about it? rudy giuliani has been thanked by the congress which qualifies you to serve. lori:dom, who do you see? everybody saying it's not chaos, we've seen it before, nobody is willing to point

their finger at the next likely person. not even who they want to be speaker of the house but who really will because there is no consistent base. >> right, most conservatives, most listener, would be trey gowdy. i don't think paul ryan is the guy at all, he's weak on immigration, this is what listeners tell me they're happy about. they want mitch mcconnell out there more than boehner. >> worst comes to worst, boehner stays in until the end of the year. lori: good point, yes. i want to talk about the democrats because we have the democratic debate next week hillary shifting left or is she shifting left, separating herself by obama, throwing out the trade deal. throwing out wall street regulation, what do you make of hillary's strategy, my guest says this is so transparent, not going to help her much. >> the good thing is the debate

is on cnn, nobody is going to watch. that does hillary make a disastrous mistake and we'll see that in the clips later. the first half hour will explain who the other four guys are nobody has heard of them. lori: o'malley, you can name them. >> jim webb, martin o'malley, bernie sanders, this is the one chance he's got to get ahead of her. lori: do you think hillary is trying to steal some of sanders' thunder by taking up the two strong positions this week,dom? >> i think so, i want to see if lincoln chafee is going to wow us with the metric system. that's the one reason he's in there. this is going to be after what we've seen on the republican side, so difficult because i don't think they want to go after hillary, o'malley might a little bit. that's his opportunity. lori: i have to leave it there, thanks for your take. about out of time. it's almost 8:00 eastern. let's look at our online poll

results. we asked -- 79% of you said yes, said no, and we are out of time. i'm lori in for lou dobbs tonight. have a wonderful weekend. john: are politicians authentic or fake? >> i think all politicians are phonies. >> they're all phonies. >> fake. john: they sure want to look authentic. the democrats say some are authentic. >> checked the authenticity box. john: and only one republican is authentic. >> donald trump is real. john: the issues are real. >> there is a war on cops right now. >> police officers are being hunted. john: police and women. >> there's a within war on women. john: really? >> political reality, that's our show tonight.
