congratulations, deanie sullivan-dempsey. so, i'm almost out of water to choke back the emotion which means i must be near the end. what we're really doing today is transferring our passion for the standard u.s. army nine-man infantry squad to our own squad of nine adorable, talented and exceptional grandchildren. they are in order of seniority, kayla, mckenna, luke, alexander, huntley, finley, braydon, samuel, and david. now, if you want to know what our principal goal in retirement will be, it will be to be the best grandparents we can be. lest you think we've forgotten them in the flush of the love for our grandchildren, we love our own children and their spouses. they have served our country, too. we've made 20 moves most of them with the kids, and they have been courageous, adamantive, resilient and willing to share their parents with a larger military family. it's been a joy watching them grow up, although until recently we did have some difficulty convincing them that the mayflower wasn't a moving van. i'm very happy t

i spent time with patrick dempsey for the demsey challenge where the dempsey family come together for their community and in memory of his mother amanda. >> do not run over patrick and joan. >> the dempsey challenge is a event to raise money for the patrick dempsey center for cancer hope & healing. >> that's all profit that goes to the center so that all the services are free so it's remarkable. >> since 2008 the dempsey center provides support, education and wellness services from massage to financial advice to anyone impacted by cancer for free. it was dempsey's mom who inspired his family to start the center. >> it was i think 1997 that your mom, amanda, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. >> the my sister called and said that mom had been diagnosed with cancer. she had ovarian cancer and the tumor was the size of a grapefruit and that she needed to go into surgery immediately. >> dempsey's mother battled her cancer for many years, but she also volunteered at the center. plus, she was kind of like mother hen to everybody who came in here. >> my mother would certainly control it, yes

judy dempsey, a new plan joins the pile.et's remember one of the other recent ones, the one that sought to redistribute 120,000 refugees fairly. 900 of those have been transferred so far. that in mind, what are the chances that this plan will be implemented in time? judy: it won't and it can't be limited. it can't be because it involves the balkan countries. the european union and member court's signed 20 --rs ago -- a courts mismanagement in kosovo. albania is functioning, but rule of law is weak. montenegroth greece, , but essentially the rule of law, governments, and state building is too weak. these countries are too poor. sunday, other eu member countries to say that we will give you money. we will set up containment centers, registration centers, so that you can wave the refugees through. theoretically, the support would be there. judy: this is a spectacular common eu solution. said, it iselcker the origins of the problem that have to be tackled. german chancellor angela merkel knew that the agreement didn't go halfway

panetta and dempsey were the decision makers when it came to the response. we have already talked about -- what i'm trying to clarify. they were the decision makers and your people were on the ground, in harm's way, and you never had a conversation with them. >> i did not need to. during the turmoil of that afternoon and into the evening, we knew the president had personally told them both in the oval office that he expected them to do everything they could possibly do. and i knew that they would then turn to those officers responsible for carrying out that order. they were represented on that sivits, that's why i sat in on it. and remember too, congresswoman, we had a lot of other threats coming in. we were still worried about cairo. >> i understand, but you had your people on the ground that were, attacked. i want to get back to the survivors in the little time i have left. did you talk to the survivors directly at all? at that point, can you tell us when? >> it was kind of a rolling series of conversations when they came back to the state department. i me

(sighs) erin: very impressed. grandpa, you got them tickets to the book of mormon? what? it's a broadway musical about some american missionaries in africa. okay, well, i've seen it; it's not for kids. you dodged a bullet. i think that's a little overstated. oh, well, that depends on your appetite for explaining jokes about jesus, aids, the finer points of the female anatomy to your grandsons. really? mm-hmm. oh.

martin dempsey said a 5,000 level. his successor flanking president obama in the roosevelt room, the new marine, general of the joint chiefs of staff, clear that president obama now faced with a choice of leaving a mess in afghanistan and a possibly resurgent taliban to say nothing of isil presence now in afghanistan and taliban forces in pakistan crossing the border, driving them out of the tribal regions and into afghanistan, obviously still a very dangerous place. forcing him to make this change today, del. >> mike, it is safe to say we're seeing what might be considered the obama doctrine, which is there will be military force used but only when it constitutes a threat to the national security of the united states? >> reporter: it has been a rough go for the obama doctrine over the last few weeks, if you want to call it that. when the train and equip portion of the president's syria policy, to train and equip the so-called moderate vetted opposition within syria has fallen flat, that an abject failure, if we can pu

martin dempsey said it would make him happy. how is the president going to explain what the mission is in afghanistan for these fighters? >> we'll have to hear from the president to try to explain this reversal and how things change because remember the president was emphatic back in march about keeping this promise is to end both wars before the end of his term. >> we have gone from 100,000 down to 10,000. they are not on the front lines because they are not in a combat role. the date for to us have completed our drawdown will not change. >> reporter: you can expect the white house to spread the responsibility for this decision around. two of the president's military advisors said they believe they needed to keep u.s. troops on the ground in afghanistan to keep beefing you have the afghan * military to take on al qaeda and the taliban which has proflen to be more -- has proven to be more resilient than anybody thought. bill: we'll have congressman thornberry in just a few minutes. martha: you can't decide to end the wars when y

general dempsey said in an exit interview-- i thought it was fascinate ago he essentially asked him in this exit interview with "joint forces quarterly," "can we do this mission?" and he answered his own question, "i don't know but i'm not sure we have a choice." >> sreenivasan: what are the next steps. are there going to be deployments of special forces in certain cities? >> i think if there are problems like you saw in kunduz, where you have talibans taking the cities and the afghans have to retake it, i think you could see special forces units embedded with afghan units to retake those kinds of places. you know, i think, it's interesting way the president talked about the 9800 or essentially 10,000, he said that will be the force through late 2016. you know, by late 2016, his successor will be in place. i think he could be signaling some flexibility there, too, that rather than go down to 5500, if his successor were to say i would be much more comfortable at 10,000, i think it would be hard for him not to stay there. >> sreenivasan: all right, greg jaffe of the "washington post" tha

before retiring, general martin dempsey recommended the president keep roughly 5,000 troops in afghanistan, argue taking would only cost one and a half times as much as kee 1,000 troops. jennifer griffin, fox news. >>> still ahead, we have the latest on the condition of lamar odom. why khloe kardashian is making all of the decisions on his medical care and what his former teammate and head coach has to say about their friend. >> it is muggy and cooler outside. steve paulson will tell us what to expect as we get closer to the weekend. >> another small earthquake the areas the same area where several quakes were reported yesterday. thousands of people across our state practice earthquake drills. . >>> former nba star lamar odom is still in a coma this afternoon at a las vegas hospital. his family and friends are at his bed side but the sprogs not good. >> -- the progress is not good. >> i have him on his side. >> still unconscious. >> i have white it looks like white stuff coming out of his mouth. bunch of white stuff coming out of his nose too. >> that was one of the 911 calls made from the

and he at that point directed both myself and general dempsey to do everything we needed to do to try to protect lives there. >> did you have any further communications with him that night? >> no. >> how long did the conversation last? >> we were there in the office for probably 30 minute. >> you talked to him for 30 minute one time, and you never talked to him again? either one of you? >> until afterward. >> until after the attack was over. >> i wouldn't say there was no follow-up from the white house. there was no follow-up from the president but his staff was engaged in the nationality military command center pretty constantly through the period. man haron monis dog shown and monica crowley, good to have you -- doug schoen and monica crowley, good to have you both here. there was a political strategy going on to isolate the president during an elect campaign from what was going on from an event as tragic as it was that the staff didn't quite know what was going on. the video tory proved to be plain false. i think tom donalan made a decision to isolate the president. we heard that t

of course, general dempsey labels it unlike any time in his lifetime. so the passage of this legislation is absolutely necessary, and we have passed it. we've done the responsible thing in the house, and i think we need to be sure that we use the full pressure to make sure that the president does not veto this bill because he is toying with the veto. you know, we've never seen anything like this in the history of this country. we have a level of threat to america and we're going to have to make sure that we pass this bill. i'm very proud it passed by the majority it passed in the united states senate. and with that, i know i'm the last speaker tonight. i would suggest the absence of a quorum, just to see if there is any last-minute speech that has to be given. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: i ask consent that further proceedings under the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcco

we talking with everyone during the night, early in the morning on the 12th i spoke with general dempsey again with tom-tom one. the two hardest calls for to the families of ambassador stevens and john smith. and you know, i have to say that they were extraordinary in their responses and understanding and the pride we have both men and gratitude we had for the service. i would quickly add while this was going on that we were trying to understand it , get on top of it however continuing to face protests, demonstrations, violence across the region and as far as india and indonesia. thousands of people were putting our facilities at risk. there were certainly very

bringing this all together from benedict dempsey, from an organization helping millions of people, primarily being affected by the syrian crisis. let me ask you first of all, you've been doing this work for years now. you've talked about the problems surfaced for months now, you have made the same points, there needs to be coordinated response month after month after month after month. and now you are saying the same thing. is anybody listening? >> i think to an extent people are listening. as you say, we have been working for years and years in these places, we have been responding to the war in syria for years, other countries where we've got a very long standing presence in afghanistan and somalia and other places these people are coming from. some people are listening. there is some aid going to those places but nothing like enough. >> but those are organizations you might expect to do it, the good fund raisers the group such as yourself, the aid groups. what about the politicians who will have to deal with this in the end? have they changed anything at all on the ground? >> what we are

remember, it was general dempsey who presented this proposal to the president before stepping down as chairman of the joint chiefs back in august. what is baffling is the new afghan president made this appeal back in march. the white house saw what happened in iraq. the rise of isis after u.s. troops left. more cerecently the taliban too control. u.s. forces helped them take it back. it's not clear why the president, until now, kept promising to remove all u.s. troops by the end of next year. >> it's important to keep in perspective, first of all, that we've gone down from 100,000 down to under 10,000. that they are not on the front lines because they're not in a combat role. the date for us to have completed our draw down low pressure not change. >> that was in march. we know the president knew this would not be the case. >> what else can you tell us? there's breaking news with regards to special ops knowing about a location. >> there's news about the air strike on that hospital. the a.p. is reporting that u.s. intelligence had actually tracked that hospital in the days prior to the

secretary ernest: i think chairman dempsey said this is an option on the table. i do not think chairman dempsey, while he was in office, ever recommended that to the president. he always noted that was an option that he could recommend to the president. you would have to check with the torment of defense for an answer on whether or not that is part of the training that we provide. reporter: you have a knowledge previously that the russian airstrikes over syria have targeted u.s. backed opposition groups, and now the president is sending in these forces on the ground to help training and assist these groups. is there any concern that the u.s. troops could now become targets of these russian strikes? secretary ernest: let me say a couple of things about this. the focus of russia's military activity inside syria has been in those areas where isil fighters are not frequently present. there have been, as we have acknowledged, some strikes in other areas. that is the first thing. the second thing is of course the president is concerned, and i think the department of de

outrage over the video sparked the attack, incredibly, she never spoke at all to leon panetta or gemma dempseyaccording to their congressional testimony. is right from what i know as well, there was a phone call about the time she released that statement. one could assume it was about something about this. host: we have a few minutes left before the house dabbles in. joe, independent. , thank sharyl attkisson you for all of your good work. let's review what you said. that is my question. the islamist test attack occurred at 3:40 p.m. washington time, midafternoon, and state deputy from libya immediately notified washington of a terrorist attack occurring. it wasn't until 10:00 p.m., which you just mentioned, that .bama spoke with hillary our president spoke with our secretary of state. and it was shortly after that that hillary, our secretary of state, came out with the statement that the demonstration was caused by a video. sharyl attkisson, which you just comment on that as a key question tomorrow to hillary clinton? >> i think they will try to get behind what motivated her, what the convers

general dunford, i'm more concerned by what your predecessor, general dempsey, described as the will to fight factor. i believe that extends beyond simply having a better leader in baghdad. do you believe the kind of united iraq that we've seen for the past century, with borders drawn by the british and french, and held together user by a western backed monarchy or a dictator, is something for which the people of iraq have the general will to fight, especially when they don't have emergency assistance from a coalition like they have right now? general dunford: senator, i think for most people in iraq, it is more local than it is national. i think if the central government would outreach and provide basic services, that we would get sunni fighters that would fight on behalf of the government. we've seen that in the past. >> i'd like to expand the question more broadly to places like syria or yemen. do people of those countries have the will to fight for united governments in places where current territorial lines may have been imposed by a foreign force? general dunford: there's no ev

for "bridget jones' baby" and has an ipad and colin firth set to return as his on again off patrick dempsey. i cannot wait. i guess it just started shooting. that is one of my favorite movies ever. >> how do i not find that surprising? >> she's awkward. i'm awkward. whenever i trip, i have bridget jones moments. we've all had them, have we not? >> speak for yourself. >> all the time. >> got you. >>> the writing is on the wall, sam smith is officially a national hero in the uk. becoming the first to top the uk singles charts breaking a decades long curse. smith calling it a special moment he'll never forget. 23 singers including adele, shirley bassey and paul mccartney have all failed before him never hitting that number one spot in 007's 340erland but now of course the attention turns to daniel craig, a little pressure with the new 007 "spectre" due out in theaters november 6th. i guess none of the theme songs have ever jumped. even sam smith said he didn't think anything special about this song and then it went straight to the top. >> someone did well, though. >> he did well. just not numb

seriously considers, also what the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general martin demp dempsey proseds they past summer. leaving a larger force in afghanistan as one possibility. no word on when the president will decide on which option to use, but the press secretary josh earnest did say the white house is el phooing good about how things have gone with afghanistan's government since the war officially ended. >> over the last year, u.s. military personnel and the afghan government have been testing this partnership, and i think it's fair to say that thus far we've been encouraged by the result. >> encouraged by the result. just last month the tell ban took over the city of kunduz. they've taken it back. taliban left that word last night. decided to pull out of the city to avoid what it called an unnecessary waste of ammunition. of course, it's about more than one city and more than one taliban. still finding havens in the mountains of afghanistan and the iz lauck imstate gain add toehold opening a treacherous new chapter in the war. all of that from matthew rosenberg. national

and actually that the photo was taken by one of the directors here, clint dempsey of his own son there talking to them in the newsroom that they did it a month and a half ago just out there, but nothing happened. all of a sudden they noticed it and they said how did you know that they went viral and that my phone just started ringing off the hook and that they were calling up the notification. that they saw it and a sign and that it has been on the today show and on fox news and that it has been all over the place. and that it is interesting how something like that, you know, could be out there and then all of a sudden, bam. >> babies for bernie. there it was, target and home depot. and their healthcare all high- profile data breaches. despite that, fewer americans are worried about identity theft. one factor that might be impacted, people fear when the four on 2 returns. >>> the major data breaches all the time. and that it will be very personal information including credit card accounts, social security numbers. now despite that, surprisingly new numbers find fewer americans are afra

according to the recently retired chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general martin dempsey, our military enjoys -- quote -- a significant military advantage in every domain except for one, cyberspace. as general dempsey said, cyber -- quote -- is a level playing field, and that makes this chairman very uncomfortable. i'll tell you, mr. president, it makes this chairman very uncomfortable as well. efforts are under way to begin addressing some of our strategic shortfalls in cyberspace, including the train of 6,200-person cyber force. however, these efforts will be meaningless unless we make the tough policy decisions to establish meaningful cyber deterrents. the president must take steps now to demonstrate to our adversaries that the united states takes cyber attacks seriously and is prepared to respond. this legislation is one piece of that overall deterrent strategy and it's long past time that congress can move forward on information-sharing legislation. we have been debating similar cyber legislation since at least 2012. i'm glad this body has come a long way since that time

that's what general dempsey is arguing?, and they would be set up in a lily pad like environment where they would really go after the counterterrorism mission, you know, going after isis as it emerges there, certainly taliban, al qaeda and so forth. >> and i want to ask you about the hospital, the hospital that was hit. now, we understand from the united states, it was a mistake. we know the military had the coordinates to this hospital. what went wrong? how was it hit, do you think? >> well, obviously the department is justice is doing an investigation, who is general campbell. the ac 130 is an incredibly accurate weapons system. i don't think they missed their target. what happened here is evidently, based upon what i understand from general campbell, the afghans called on a particular target. and it would appear that someone didn't match that target that was identified with the no-fire, or the preclusion areas identified earlier. >> it is a tragedy, for sure, and we want to get to the bottom of it. i want to go to a anot

chairman dempsey of the joint chiefs of staff stood in front of our committee and asked the question of does the structure of this bill fully fund national defense he said absolutely that he could spend it, that it would be the number that is necessary, he also said it was the lower jagged edge of what is necessary for national security. so chairman dempsey says in front of our committee, and he's certainly the expert, that this works, it works. i urge everyone to support this bill, set aside sequestration, set aside partisan politics and support our men and women in uniform. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from washington. mr. smith: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas. mr. thornberry: at this time i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the distinguished chair of the strategic forces subcommittee, the gentleman from alabama, mr. rogersing for the purposes of a colloquy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. rogers: i want to thank you for your leadership in getting us here
