Were Fact Checking the president with doug schoan and red r lori Fact Checkers taking president obama to task, among them about this claim about new jobs. A entrepreneur flippedo her lights in a tech start up did her part to add to mor than 8 million new jobs our businesses created in last 4 years. Lori president cherry picking numbers 3. 2 million jobs have been created since opponent took office, then this claim about Health Insurance enrollies. Already because of the Affordable Care ac more than 3 million americans were age 26 have gained coverage you were their parents plan. More than 9 million americans have signed upor private Health Insurance or medicaid coverage. Lori president leaves impression that chosen rollments are a result of obamacare but the medicaid car includes new enrollees in renewals that have notion to do with the health care law, then this claim. Our deficits, cut by more than half. Lori keep this in mind, federal budget deficit has decned in half since t 2009, still higher than normal terms, and as percentage of gdp that is what it was in 2008, you still have a 17. 3 trillion debt, it is greater as a percentage of overall economy than prior to e rig, not somethingo be proud of, joining us, doug schoan and ed rally ins. Rawlins. Thank you, lori. You respond do you agree with our on take . I am less concerned by him taking a f liberties than fact there were no overarching themes, no sense of purpose in the speech, i didnt have a sensehat president saw bipartisanship as anything other than desire able goal, he was note doing much to achieve. It was a political speech, i suspect ed would okay agree, and purpose was not to make policy or improve the american condition, but to win an election. Lori ed, there is no more elect for president obama. Was this successful at all eventing him from falling into lame duck st us. He is becoming more and more irrelevant by the day. I think for setting a tone for midterm elections, which are coming up, often a referendum on a preside, and his policies, i think that sad part is that president went in, really, so different from as a year ago, a year ago he came out of a reeltion, had a different tone well work things out, this was a you do it my way or im doing it myself. The president cant do it himself. You know i lived thrgh nixon years, heried executive orders, and the rest, at the end of the day you have to have congress to make laws or pass budgets, this president has not done anything to develop those relationships, right now i think a lot of democrats are now as republicans were, a bush fatigue in 200006 now obama fa in 2006 now it is obama fatigue. Lori they are nervous about upcoming elections. How will they fair . Are they in jeopardy . They are, polling numbers, in each state there, and a few others show that democrats even with or behind their likely republican opponents, one rule of thumb, distance yourself from unpop unpope npopular president. Lori you seem glum. I am smiling. Lori you are piling on. I am not, i am talking hard headed politics, you advise a marginal senator or congressman in this environment, you do what you have to do. Only thing they have is to distance themselves from the president , you can be a good democrat and not be a obama loyalist. Lori 40 minutes into the speech, not recognizing members of military, until virtuall the very end. The brave rapeger at th ranger with 10 tories of duty, that sun believable, that is what people of believe last night, the applause in bipartisan ward him is a great change for the military from many years ago, we appreciate what they have done for us, again, president has no new initiatives, my sense obamacare will run itsourse, it may never work. And i think a lot of americans wi lose their health care, they pay more for less, and to declare victory at this point in time is foolish. Lori thank you so much. Up next, a trend triple digit loss in the market. Is a correction in the market is a correction in the market underw [ male announcer ] e new new york is open. Open to innovation. Open to ambition.

Market of the weak early on, fedex asker baited that, real news came overnight from turkey, they increased overnight rates. Lori a lot more than anyone anticipated. From about 3. 75 to 12 . That is a big increase, brazil has done the same thing, pressure on emerging market currencies is because of taper. Lori a lot are debating if the Federal Reserve should be cog sent of what is going on, a lot of money going to fragile 5 is that the coin . Now will it reverse . Will we see a reaction in u. S. Markets from this soil soil, and volatile tie and vul nirability . Emerges markets are important to numberral growth, asthma,et Central Banks raise their Interest Rates to fight inflation, they risk slowing growth. As they slow growth that lowers global gdp that lowers demand for goods and services produced companies in the u. S. , especially large caps in s p 500 for example. Lori taper is done slowly.

Gov kids for tips and information. Lori okay. The ratings are in for president obamas state of the union. Not pretty. 33 million peoples to attend. That is the smallest audience since president obama said office. In the worst for a state of the union speech since 2000. Republican congressman Michael Grimm of new york issuing several apologies after this incident last line in which she physically threatened reporter following this to the union. Lori he has to be kidding. The congressman apparently had said the reporter asked a question about how dare he, an ngoing federal investigation into gramms campaign fundraising. In the immediate aftermath of the incident he sees his actions by saying he was extremely annoyed. Today the covers with public statements were much more contrite. You know, this was an unfortunateincident that should not have happened. I am sure my italian mother is going to be yelling in the same you dont behave that way. Shes right. Lori so charming. Kidding. And then there is this. Vice president today responding to criticism by former defense secretary robert gates that he has been wrong on many Foreign Policy issues for a decade. The part i focused on his when he said biden is a man of great integrity. Think hes a man of intrity. Bill gates and 95 bob gates and ve disagreed on almost every major Foreign Policy since be dumped. History will judge ultmately he was right or wrong. He is a fine man. Lori bill, bob, gates, what the difference. A billion dollars. Mixup is just the wrong wy. So when asked about 2016, he said he thinks he would make a good president and that Hillary Clintons ultimate decision of whether enough to run will not directly impact is on. Have toget to the ateam. So much to chew on today. The are joined by Talk Radio Network nationally syndicated host and fox is contributor,and the democratic strategist, attorney and ktla katie okay radio talkshow host in los angeles. Fox news radio talkshow host. Welcome. I dont know where to begin. Agassi could sum up the state of the union and one issue i did not get to wih the three republicans to give the response. Did that in your mind dilute the position of republicans . Was effective at all . As a conservative i took a look in that understood where all three were coming from, but from a strategic poi of view and a Communications Strategic point of view i think its st of a hot mess. The president speaking on behalf of the nation in his party. You have three separate voices, all along the same lines but with different approaches to this challenge. I think it ends up confusing voters who might want to take another look at the Republican Party and say, wait a minute. To my really listening to, the tea party, rand paul, kathy morris. There were all fine and gave strong statements, but i think its really confusing to the average voter to hear that cacophony of different points of view. Lori very streamline and very focused. Let me get your take on the state o the union and the republican response. Well, the state of the union was obama going very, very slow, microscopic, in fact. Kind of saying to democrats, now you have a tough time in 2014 fed. What yotry this stuff. Maybe it will work. And sending them out the door. I really like kathy mcmorris. I think she makes a very personable person. She didnt rea for a water bottle, so squeaky, have charts. She was very relatable. I hope people will take a look at her little more. And make a break moment you point out from those responses. All right. Your impressions of te overall evening in washington . Sure. Certainly. The state of the union was a bit brought for my taste as a progressive. Would have appreciated the president s really tackling what seem like 12 or 13 Major Political topics are no, i would like to see him there that data give us more specific agenda plants. Take on Voting Rights specifically. Take on some of these foreign issues going on. Those are important instead of trying to do these when it issues that seem just real over broad and lectures substance. Think you could provideus. We get your take on the seri
