Lou Dobbs Tonight
Friday, October 19, 2007

Tonight, the end of an ugly week for Nancy Pelosi and the House
Democrats. The Democrats, who took the reins in Congress last
year with an ambitious agenda and talk of a mandate for change,
have suffered a series of legislative defeats. This week, they
failed to override President Bush’s veto of the SCHIP program;
withdrew an effort to revise domestic spying rules (after
losing that fight once already); and watched as a symbolic
resolution concerning a century-old genocide has begun to
collapse under widespread criticism. What’s next for this
historically unpopular Congress? Can Pelosi turn thing around,
or will the American people continue to be subjected to the
stalemate of executive branch and legislative branch
incompetence? Join us, tonight.

The Department of Homeland Security is building a fence along
our southern border with steel pipe imported from China. Rep.
Phil English and steel industry advocates in Congress are
outraged that Homeland Security has sold out struggling
American steel workers for cheap Chinese labor. Tonight, a
report on Washington’s efforts to keep federal contracts with
U.S. companies and to level the playing field in a market that
is highly manipulated by illegal Chinese trading practices.

Will there be any adjustments to Governor Eliot Spitzer’s plan
to grant licenses to illegal aliens in New York? How does this
plan compare with the other states that already issue licenses
to illegal aliens and how has the issuance of those licenses
impacting voting laws in those other states? That special
report, tonight.

Alarms are sounding on Capitol Hill regarding China's Huawei
Technologies acquiring a stake in the U.S.-based
network-equipment manufacturer 3Com. Lawmakers in Washington
held a press conference today to voice concerns that Huawei
Technologies—a company with ties to Beijing's military—will
gain access to sensitive U.S. defense-network technology if the
deal goes through. The merger follows recent computer attacks
on the Pentagon that allegedly involved Chinese military
hackers. We will have a special report on what could be the
next Dubai Ports debacle.

In our weekly tribute to the men and women who serve our nation
in uniform, we bring you the story of platoon leader Lt. George
Collins. Collins comes from a tradition of service in the U.S.
Army: his father was a platoon leader in Viet Nam. Collins has
just returned from a year in Iraq where his job was to find and
destroy improvised explosive devices, the number one killer of
coalition forces. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for
his service. Pleas join us tonight for Lt. Collins’ story.

And, we'll be joined by three of the best political minds to
discuss all of the events in this week’s news: Ed Rollins,
former White House political director, Robert Zimmerman,
Democratic National Committeeman and Errol Louis of the New
York Daily News.
