Devastating new poll numbers that show mr. Obamas Foreign Policy failures have now gone beyond the tolerance of most americans. Public approval of the president s handling of foreign approximately see has now sunk to an alltime low of 36 . Six in ten now disapprove of his Foreign Policy, numbers that worsened whenec broen down into individual issues. The washingtthe malaysian passe that was shot down over the ukraine. Just 23 approve of his handling of the conflict between the ukraine and russia. 18 approval, the administrations response to the israelihamas conflict, 17 approval. 14 approval on the president s actions in regard to the rise of the Islamic State of iraq and the le vant in iraq. Here is president obama in his own words just three months ago as he described his Foreign Policy strategy as little more than trying to avoid making mistakes or as his senior aides put it, not doing dumb stuff. That may not always be sexy. That may not always attract a lot of attention and it doesnt make for good argument on sunday morning shows, but it avoids errors. You hit singles and you hit doubles every once in a while. We may be able to hit a home run, but we steadily advance the interest of the American People and our partnership with folks arne the world. The president was wrong, of course, his Foreign Policy is attracting a great deal of attention and his metaphor isnt exact, either. Its not that hes playing small ball. The president is actually striking out looking. In most instances not even taking the bat off of his shoulder. This administration bears responsibility for the first ambassador killed on foreign soil. Ambassador stephens killed in the september 11th attack in benghazi. On mr. Obamas watch, the first general killed in a combat zone in more than four decades, Major General Harold Greene assassinated while at an Afghan Military base. Theyve fractured relations with our own democrat ally in the middle east declaring to firmly support israel in the war against radical islamist terrorists and Vladimir Putin terrorizing our Eastern European allies and he is unphased by socalled tough economic sanctions imposed by the Obama Administration and european union. We begin with imperical proof that america is suffering from a severe case of obama fatigue. Joining me now to discuss the reasons why, pulitzer prizewinning journalist, michael goodwin, fox news political analyst, former adviser doug shone. Thank you both for being here. This is devastating for the white house. I cant imagine the president wouldnt publicly react with some sort of statement with given the pinch for Foreign Policy and resets. Upon there seems to be one necessary for this entire administration. Lou, those numbers are extraordinary. Ive never seen anything like it for any politician on any level on any issue. 18 , 15 , 14 . This is simply unprecedented, i think in the modern era. But i would say that watching the president today and the way he approached all of that long list of topics that he raised and then the questions that followed, hes given up. Hes just tuned out. Hes heading off to play golf and on the vacation and its just a sense that hes mailing it in now that he is not going to engage. Hes know going to do anything he doesnt want to do, and so he will sign some executive orders and try to gin up the Democratic Base for the midterm, but he stopped being president. Do you concur with that . Well, sadly, he is, michael, still president and therein lies the problem. He is not seeking to make policy. He is not able to on rival hissal eyes and the a rather important point. Rather than seeking consensus with a contentious process. I wont do it, or ill do this. This questions foreign minis r ministerial principles says hell pick the Immigration Law by executive order rather than legislation, profoundly disquieting. The idea of want being president is these are the things the president has to do. You have to work with others and you have to solve problems. He has stopped trying and hes still president official lly, a he stopped doing the things we expect the president to do. It leaves open the question, if he is not conducting himself as president , what is he conducting himself as and how troubled should the nation be that we have a president who has made a declaration that he will use executive actions and orders specifically at the very onset of this phase of his presidency to go around congress . He made no and there was no equivocation this is to circumvent the constitution of the president of the United States in the president s own words. The second one is easier to answer. The American People in the poll have spoken. 40 approval overall and foreign approximately see, 36 and michael is exactly right on each individual problem down to 15 to 20 . He has effectively abdicated his responsicity without abdicating from the office. There is no leadership from behind and no leadership at all, and i know you do and michael does. There is no assertion of anything, any values anywhere. That performance was one of the worst, but it follows a string. I think this kind of giving up in trying to make any kind of reach out to the American People, to talk like you care about these things. Look, as a president , you have to pretend that you have to appear to be serious even if you dont feel it every moment. Hes not even trying thats what i think is the answer to the question. You give a perfectly good answer that a president should have given. He doesnt even think that way now and no one is telling him to or if they are, hes not listening and i thinky woo are headed for some kind of a crisis because this cannot continue for the next two and a half years. He seems a man spiritless. He seems in a man if a job as you put it. He seems to have lost interest in the job. Would it be appropriate if they resign if those are indeed his genuine feelings . I think what would be appropriate for the congressional leadership and those close to him which is not a circle to say, mr. President , you have to get into the game and reevaluate how youre handling yourself. . Ive been there. Ive been with president s and see policies not working. S michael suggests. Hes pot to be ralliedy agree if he didnt to act the part and play the whole. . This to koushry has come to the point, that we ask the ask god give us, a man or woman who wants that lead and has that capability. Gentlemen, thank you as always. Thank you. Michael goodwin. Thank you. They were once Holding Facilities for children caught crossing our border illegally. Now some of those shellers are closing, but where are the children .

The department of health and Human Services closing down three shelters at military bases that were used to hold thousands of illegal immigrant children. Our next guest tonight fought for and eventually won access to one of those detention facilities at fort sill in his home state of oklahoma. He claims those children are being released to sponsors who are also in the country illegally. Joining us tonight congressman Jim Bridenstein, a member of the Armed Services committee and a Lieutenant Commander in the u. S. Navy reserve. Congressman, good to have you with us. Thank you, lou. You were amongst the first to point out what was happening as fort sill, as you tried to enter it to see about those children and the care they were receiving. You were denied access. Subsequently you won that access. Now whats happened to the children . Thats right. About a month ago we were there and not even a month ago and there were about a thousand there at that time and now as of 10 00 last night we understand there are 174 children. The question is where are they going . And when i was there last time we asked that very pointed question even though the Obama Administration told us that were not allowed to ask questions and we cant talk to the staff, that we cant talk to the children, we cant talk to the medical staff. We told them that we were going to treat their restrictions the way the president treats the law. We were going to treat them as suggestions and when we went in we were going to ask questions and when the children come here. If 1200 is the capacity and they been a whole lot coming through, where are they going and the answer was theyre being released to sponsors and our question was who are the sponsors . Usually they are parents or relatives of the children which makes them, you know, credible sponsors, but at the same time they, too, are here illegally. Most of them were smuggled here with coyotes and through the Transnational Criminal Organizations that control northern mexico and control the southern border. You know, congressman, what youre saying here, the effect of what youre saying is that the u. S. Government and agency of the u. S. Government have been working with the drug cartels who smuggle drugs, who lead the human smuggling rings in order to bring these children here and are cooperating still with those who have broken the law. This is stunning stuff. When you have an insecure border and we only have operational control over 44 of the southern border, when it is that insecure the question is who wins . And the answer is its organized crime in northern mexico. They have figured out how to monetize the insecure southern border so when these children are being smuggled here their parents are literally paying organized crime in northern mexico and this is congressman, if i may interject, i think we need to quit saying organized crime in northern mexico. I think we need to start speaking straightforwardly to the American People. This is about corruption on both sides of the border. This is about public employees, Public Servants who have positions of public trust who have been corrupted by those same cartels and who, for whatever the purpose, are cooperating and facilitating and supporting and empowering all of that corruption both south and north of the border, would you not agree . Well, i would agree that in northern mexico the the system that currently exists is empowering organized crime and that organized crime is now controlling local governments in northern mexico to the point where you talk about corruption, youve the got judges, police officers, politicians, you are either on the payroll of the drug cartels or you are dead. If anyone thinks that mexico and the United States are not sharing that corruption, are not both involved in it and there are local officials, there are local officials and their federal government, and ours and theyre all willfully blind because the its billion dollars of methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine and heroin are crossing that border from mexico into this country every year and the federal government is doing so little is to be sickening. Congressman. I agree with you. Youre one of the good guys who is doing something. We hope you will keep it up vigorously. Thank you, lou. Always. My commentary on how congress can no longer hide from historically low job approval numbers and why those democrats who think this wont be a wave election, well, they need to stay tuned because i have something for them. Thats income opinionwith y niec. I dont use super poligrip for hold because my dentures fit well. Before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. Even wellfitting dentures let in food particles. Super poligrip is zinc free. With just a few dabs, its clinically proven to seal out more food particles so youre more comfortable and confident while you eat. So its not about keeping my dentures in, its about keeping the food particles out. [ charlie ] try zinc free super poligrip. A few comments, if i may, on the question of whether republicans are truly headed for a wave election this fall. It is, well, raps in tperhaps i minds of some too early to tell, but other signs and with the Obama Scandals and the stonewalling that were suffering through, i have no doubt that Many Americans are itching to party like its 1994 come november. When republicans back then picked up 54 seats in the house and eight seats in the senate, i actually believe that they may do better than that this year, and left us out like the new york times, however, are way too eager to down play the very real prospect of a democratic collapse at the polls in november. Nate cone of the times recently wrote this. The gop is now on the clock. If there is to be a wave this november, the signs of a shift toward the gop ought to start to show up somewhere, he says, and soon. Well, mr. Cohn, you may have missed at least one of those signs. The recent wave elections are so rare is that while many of us are critical of congress, even contemptuous if you would excuse the expression, we would like our own individual member of the house of representatives. For example, two years ago, congress gallop approval averaged 15 and somehow 90 of house numbers and 91 of senators who were seeking reelection won, but this Years Congress gallop approval is at 15 , but there is a new variable at work. New polls shows folks are also fed up with their own congressman not just unhappy with the other representatives. According to an abc Washington Post survey, only 41 of americans now approve of their own congressman. Thats the lowest ever, and a majority of americans, 51 , disapprove of congress. Thats the highest level in 25 years. Now whether that means well see an election like the one 20 years ago is still a matter of conjecture, but if president obama issues many more executive orders and in particular, an executive order that gives amnesty of millions of illegal immigrants, the conjecturing will end quickly and republicans will ride that wave to the polls and a historic victory will be theirs as well as control of both houses of congress. Were coming right back. Up next, the president and his secretary of state struggling to get in front of Benjamin Netanyahus parade. Former netanyahu chief of staff joe birnbaum is next. X÷÷÷÷ israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today called his actions in gaza justified and proportionate. He made his first Public Statement since the announcement of the latest ceasefire this appears to be holding. Israel deeply regrets every civilian casualty, every single one. We do not target them. We do not seek them. The people of gaza are not our enemy. You a our enemy is hamas. Our enemy is the other terrorist organizations trying to kill our people. The Prime Minister detailed how hamas mortars have been fired and tunnels dug near civilian areas, near schools and mosques. Also today, delegations from israel and in cairo for another round of peace talks and u. S. Secretary of state john kerry calling on both sideses to use the ongoing 72hour truce as a steppingstone to restart farreaching negotiations. The former chief of israeli Prime Minister netanyahu and the ceo of Political Consulting firm geb international. Good to have you here. Its peculiar to me. It strikes an odd note that the secretary of state would be offering counsel to the government of israel and to hamas since theyve been parties to a 72hour ceasefire negotiated by the egyptians which has been the preference of not only the israeli government, but hamas. Is this administration being helpful or are they becoming intrusive . I dont know that theyre being helpful or intrusive. Theyre trying to find a way to be relevant in a region where theyve become irrelevant. The president sent secretary kerr toe try and broker a ceasefire and they went straight to qatar and turkey, people who are not liked well by egyptians and not moderate as well. Remember qatar is posting five operatives from guantanamo. The turks called the israelis worse than hitler during world war ii and these are the people that are ez intosupposed to neg an honest ceasefire. Theyre trying to be relevant where theyve become irrelevant. A lot of people are perhaps somewhat surprised that the egyptians and israelis share such common perspectives that they would be considered as an arab state, an honest broker for these negotiations, particularly after the breach and egypt after the Obama Administration, the ouster of mubarak and the ascension of general assessy. It was morsi who was the back of the United States. The egyptians not too well what it means from fwhith and not without and that is why theyre such a good broker with this negotiation. Would you argue with this view which happens and i truly believe that israel has come out of this conflict with a stronger position, a stronger image in the world media than in previous conflicts over various years, and i dont know that it was manufactured in those eras, but lets say there was an antiisraeli view. That view was constrained this time and netanyahu could not have been more direct, more forceful in saying he will pursue his nations interests come hell or high water. Right. I think a lot of that had to do that early on in this con flick israelis agreed to five ceasefires all of which were broken by hamas and once that occurred and people around the world saw the true face of of hamas this they werent interested in peace. They were interested in terror . Murder. I think it held israels position quite a bit. Where does israel go now . And what is your govern ams hope for the future . The hope is that the israelis and palestinians can live in peace side by side, two states has have been offered by Prime Ministers sharon, netanyahu, barack, and by president s george bush, president obama, and two People Living side by side, but two People Living side by side can work when both people want to live and not when one side wants to continually die. Its want the people controlling the opinions and even elements of al qaeda which exist in the west bank and gaza. We need to get rid of those fundamentally islamic elements before we can live side boy side which is all israel wants to do. Is it not perturbing if they havent have as much of as an alliance in fighting a common enemy that is radical islamist and then that is shared by the administration. This administration doesnt complain about the border. And they worry about the sovereignty between israel and gaza. However, i would say that from the point of view of fighting fatal islam on their own territory, i know that we all suffered september 11th and these are daily fights and fighting islamic terror from within and the same thing that the egyptians go through on a daily basis and that common denominator helps the two sides understand better than someone from overseas and what it means day to day to really have to uproot islamic terror in order to live in peace. George birnbaum, always good to see you. Thank you very much. Coming up next, the ebola death toll rises spreading to the middle east. Well talk to william sharpner on whats next.

Com joining us now is one of the countrys leading physicians, dr. William sharpner, leading expert on infectious diseases. Doctor, it is good to see you, to have you back with us and thank you for taking the time. My pleasure, lou. Lets turn to this level one activation. Your thoughts, your reaction to it . Well, we were waiting for it and knew it was coming. This is an indication of the really serious commitment of the ckc all hands to address the ebola outbreak. The outbreak in africa principally, but also ramifications around the rest of the world. So people will be volunteering from all parts of the agency to work on this problem for the next several months, we think, focused on this problem. And, you know, as you say there are many listening to us discuss earning bowla. The higher level of arc letter on the part of the cdc and theyre asking, thinking about the two americans who have rushed to this country, stricken with e bella and dr. Brantly is improving because of the zmapp drug and nancy writebol, she is weak, but improving and is your Outlook Positive for them at this point . Its positive. We are guardedly optimistic, fingers crossed, prayers said, we obviously want the best for both of them and we hope and wish that they would recover steadily and quickly. Upon. And as we talk about that activation going well beyond emory ever, atlanta, the east coast, in africa right now, western africa, this outbreak, we are told by every expert is now uncontrolled and it is a it is headed, they know not where because they simply rid now dont even know how to get it under control. What are your what are your thoughts and your outlook on it . . I think we know how, but the task is large. You have to go there, first of all, and find every case and bring them to med dal care, that those two things, it gives the best care available to the patient and gets them out of their home. This is very important because otherwise family would care for the patient and get infected themselves. Number two, we need to find all of the contacts of these patients and trace them down and put them under rigorous surveillance so then if they turn to be cases we can get them into the hospital and then we need to really educate the population. There are lots of rumors, false statements going around out there. We need to correct that. We need to get everybody on the same page and do this in a sustained and thorough fashion. Its a large job. The cdc will be sending in the next week, 50 over there to join people wchl h. O. And Doctors Without Borders and others who are trying to help. This is Serious Business and we are now approaching 1,000. The death toll is a thousand. This strain in this outbreak about 50 to 60 of people given the medical care that they or are not receiving in africa is the mortality rate. So just over half the poem who get this infection die, but it does mean half survive, and if we can improve the medical care we hope we can improve that. We know now that ebola has moved beyond africa to the middle east. One person dead of the disease in saudi arabia. We know that there have been seven, we know this much, that there have been seven tests of folks in new york, all of them, thank god, coming back negative, but we also know that the c dishing c is not sharing the location of the people who are being tested. Do you think thats wise to limit information on this disease at all . Yeah. Actually, i think it is. Getting the General Information is important. Against the background that all of us who run Infection Control programs in hospitals know that if such a patient, a candidate who might have ebola comes to our institution, we can take care of them. We have trained personnel. We have the equipment. We know about the Infection Control procedures and this is being demonstrated in all of these other folks going to different hospitals. So were confident about that, and then in the tradition of patient confidentiality, keep it quiet because these keep the specific names and look s ans a quiet, we dont want to create hysteria. We in infectious control, we can take care of the patient whether they come to dubuque or new york or my specific county. We appreciate it. Good to be with you, lou.

A hearing today on the tijuana court for Sergeant Andrew tahmooresstahmooressi, t soldiers involved in his arrest and questioning taking the stand. Tahmooressi has been locked away in a mexican prison for 127 days now, and not a single public mention from our president. Joining us now fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. Nice to be with you, lou. Lets start with mexican justice, is there any . Only when the government wants there to be. I mean, on paper a person in mexico is innocent until Proven Guilty, but in a practical matter its the other way around. Even in china on paper a person is innocent believe Proven Guilty and when they dont respect the rights of the individual you must affirmatively be proven your innocence. He has not been able to tell the judge that this was an honest, legitimate mistake, a literal wrong turn in the desert pause he had guns that were unlawful in techec it and unlawful to mexico. To his possession. For team of posttrekked stress ask two this is a golden opportunity for a tonedeaf commander in chief to trade Sergeant Tahmooressi for another bum they want. Hes good at making these trades. Debe radical, for him to send five helicopters to swoop down and save him and bring him over the border. That would make barack obama an American Hero for the First Time Since his first election. Do you know, my suspicion is yes, it just might and then . Lets not hold our breath. Because all i wanted him to do is to say to the president of mexico let the guy go. Right. He is one of ours. Right. And this is between you and me, mr. President. Right. Do me a favor and ill do you a favor. If hes had no conversation about it there is no manifestation. Here is the president at his impromptu on friday. And 53 years old, happy birthday, mr. President , this is the day tahmooressis is in court. He did mention it it once, but he wanted to talk about his own birthday. I mean, give me some way in which to rationalize this president s behavior . I cant give it to you except i can say to you again, i do believe that he is tone deaf. The the quotation that you read a few moment ago from barney frank, one of the most int seshlly liberal democratic members of the house until he retired a few years ago basically saying the president knew he was lying and the president lied anyway is damning to this president. He doesnt care. His poll numbers are down in nixonian depths. He doesnt care. Hes been accused of incompetence and lawless business, he doesnt care. Does anybody else . The verdict is in, if you will forgive the expression on this president. He has lied and he has admitted liing and he continues toly. It is no longer of deceitful happensness, but does xhn country and, and this is whyy disagree with ron well yams. I think the American People will take it out on democrats running for the house and for the senate and their extremely negative views of barack obama because he cant run again and this is the only way they can send a message to him. It seems to fe me that taking it are off of his stain situation, stand up and op pose his if if the pert, and if there were a divide of any kind it might create an ambiguity. Right now this is one public headed in one direction. . Here is a test. How many em democreny democrat president obama to be seen with them and campaign for them . I dare say that number will be in the Single Digits and the senate is at stake for his party. And interestingly, in a recent roundup in colorado fundraising, senator udall was the only one that would agree to be at a fundraiser. Imagine this, the president there for a fundraiser for senator udall and he was the only one who would show up, call, to be with the president and then he canceled that evening to avoid the fundraiser. Thats the kind of support hes got. And thats what the president and the democrats will go through in the next five months. Judge andrew nal op tan on, as always. Good to be with you.

Our next guest shattering the myth that we have too few highly qualified, highly skilled High Technology workers in this country in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math and the calls by some business organizations for more foreignworkers to be brought in for this country. Joining me now is professor of Public Policy and author of the book outsourcing america, how we can reclaim american jobs. First of all, congratulations. Good to see you and here we go again. Its remarkable. Microsoft cutting 18,000 jobs as the company participates in a call for more Foreign Workers to be brought to this country and american jobs, of course, being outsourced by big business in general. Yeah, it is remarkable that they can get away with this. Any object of measure that one looks at whether its the Unemployment Rate or unemployment levels, there is no shortage of these workers and yet you have industry continue to talk about this. The most basic thing, economics 101 is we would see wages rising in these occupations if there were a shortage and wages have been flat for more than 16 years. There have been no wage gains in these sectors and the reason really is the flooding of the market with these guest workers, and i was about to say that part of the reason for those stagnant wages and in many cases declining wages is the h 1 b visa workers being brought in and theyre lower level Technology Workers and not the higher level and they are receiving in some cases, as you well know, 20 less or more than workers they replace or americans that could take their jobs. Yeah. Thats rid. The way the law works is that companies can actually legally pay below market wages and surprise, surprise, companies do pay below market wages and the savings are 20, 25 per worker and they get a double bonus and the employer gets to control that worker and those workers become endentured and theyve had a huge drag on wages and Job Opportunities for americans. These are good jobs, middle class jobs and steppingstones for the, woing class to get to the middle class and thats being schett off by the h1b guest worker visas. The guest workers are coming in and there is the myth that these are the best and brightest. In reality, most of the folks have ordinary skills, no more than a bachelors degree which is true in microsofts case, too. Discuss the claims that foreign graduates of u. S. Universities are being forced to leave our country because were not hospitable to them. Give us your take. Its another myth. People have gone as far as saying that theyre being deported and absolutely not true. Graduate students, International Students that come and do graduate work here have lots of ways of staying on the opts, there is a whole alphabet soup of visas, work visas to stay here temporarily and work and also permanently and the stay rates, thats a term of art thats used to track how theyre doing remain very high so there are lots of ways that students can stay here and by the way, the industry has not lobbied for more of those visas, and those set aside for the graduate students and theyve gone after the bachelors level folks. Give us the stay rate for chinese, vhd students in the country and most people would be shocked by that. I believe the number is the 92 stunt or grad withing in the field, and many of them are stem, workers with terrific credentials, academic credentials and many of them arent finding work, are they, in their field . . Theyre not finding work in their field and theyre finding work in other fields and in some cases theyre being directly replaced by guest workers here in the u. S.
