So does he . Senator tim scott joins us. Good evening, sir. Good evening, greta. Good to be back with you. Nice to have you back and congratulations is in order. First time i have seen you since you won your election, sir. So condition graduate legs. Thank you very much. Its good to be on this side of an election so we can give back to the peoples business as so very important to all of us that live in america around around the world frankly. All right. You have just heard Condoleezza Rice and she talks about the importance of leading. Is the u. S. Leading . So far we have been leading from behind, which is not leadership from my perspective. If were really leading, then what you see coming from the white house, from the administration is a longterm strategy that starts at the victory line and works our way back to where we are. Not last and continuing resolution 500 million and now we are looking for 5. 6 billion. Its like having a blank check with no strategy. The first thing we need to see is a longterm strategy that does not simply degrade that defeats isis. That means those details must be presented to congress so we understand how the money is going to be used effectively so as to keep americans safe around the world and bring peace back of the conversation. Do i take it then at this moment if you were asked to vote on 5. 6 billion that you would say no, that you dont have the details but that you are open to it once you hear the details . I certainly think troops resources necessary, i have two brothers active duty in the military today. They are willing to risk their lives. I think they deserve a strategy. I will make sure that they have the resources but congress and the American People deserve to understand the strategy that will be used to use those resources effectively. What always confuses me the president asks for 5. 6 million. How do you come up with those terms . Thats the question i will would ask where did he come up with 5. 6 so im seaferred in addition to the question of the strategy issue . Well, i think you are exactly right. One of the things i found very challenging during the continuing resolution conversation when we approved about 500 million, there is no doubt in my mind that 500 million was simply a drop in the bucket if we were going to be successful in challenging isis both in syria and in iraq. That amount of money does not lend itself to being successful. Im not sure what 5. 6 billion actually gets you and a 2 prong attack against something far more aggressive than al qaeda. Senator rand paul says he believes its illegal for the president to go alone he needs congressional vote. Where do you fall on this . Rand paul says is he outside the 90 day period in the war powers act. No question he has been going this t. Alone. I do believe it is very important to the American People for congress to weigh in. I believe that we should all be on record on how to make sure that we defeat identifies which means that Congress Needs to vote on not only the resources but also understand the plan that we are implementing with the resources. President obama said on friday is he going to send 15 more noncombat troops. That came in after the election. Was that coincidence or political . No doubt about it. Nearly 3,000litical. Folks now from our military working to make sure that we are able to assess whats happening on the ground. Im not sure what the definition of boots on the ground is. But i will say this that when we have 3,000 men and women in harms way, understanding that strategy is clearly very important, having the resources to be successful clearly important. And i havent seen those coming together very quickly. And this is something that we have been fighting from behind. We have had all these artificial red lines, all these artificial starts. It is now time for us to have a longterm strategy. That does not take an election to start that process. This has nothing to do with this has to do with the safety of americans. We should have that we should have had that a long time ago senator nice to see you, thank you, sir. Absolutely. Good to be back with you. Big question tonight is the isis leader dead or not . Did the u. S. Military get him . There are reports that u. S. Led air strikes killed or critically wounded the isis leader. Fox news chief intelligence Catherine Herridge joins us. Is he dead or alive . What we know tonight is that defense officials and intelligence officials are still assessing the fallout of these weekend air strikes. But so far they have not seen any evidence the leader of Isis Al Baghdadi was killed or seriously injured. And typically in these situations they see two things. They see a real spike in chatter. This is the communication between known operatives and also a discussion of a successor being identified and elevated and neither of those have been seen in this case. All right. There was a convoy of cars. Correct. That were hit. What what started the discussion are in al baghdadi might have been on that convoy . Well, its a very confused picture. The Defense Department has owned up to this overnight strike on friday near mosul, iraq. And this heavily armed convoy of 10 vehicles. Which seems to be associated with the isis leadership on the second front the Iraqi Interior Ministry as well as twitter and other people on the ground are talking about an attack 260 miles away and that baghdadi may have been injured there and taken into syria more medical treatment. Everyone we have spoken today has talked about a very confused picture about what his status is at this point. 30 seconds left. Does it make any difference whether we get al baghdady. We want to get him but will they quickly replace him . There would be a number two. A question of elevating that individual. What they often say in Counter Terrorism circles is you never really want to be number two or number three because we take them out so readily. Its just a promotion you dont want in the end catherine nice to talk to you. You are welcome. Noncombat troops in iraq signals a new phase isis not a failure of a strategy. Lt. Colonel oliver north is here. Colonel, do you agree with the president this is not a failure of strategy but just another phase. Greta, there is no strategy. Senator scott was right and the question you posed to catherine is dead on the mark. Do you remember the definition of victory . In al qaeda . It was to kill bin laden. Once bin led dan was dead we quote won. We have no specificity about what victory is in this fight. So the 1500 more troops or 15,000 more troops. If you dont know what victory is, you cannot have a strategy to get there and this administration it is dribbling things in. I remember a war like that. Right . It was called vietnam. You dribbled them in one or two, 10, 15, 100, 2,000, and then suddenly you need u. S. Ground combat forces and, of course, you ended up with a war that went on for the second longest, this one. What this Administration Needs to do is to sit down and, if john allen is the person, find a way to build the relationship with the moderate, realistic sunni in on bar province. Think about this. The force that were now going to send more advisors for in iraq has one sunni general among hundreds of generals and senior officers. There is only one. Is he a toady for the current regime that replaced mall confidential informant the bottom line of it is this administration is doing nothing to build any kind of consensus among the kurds, the sunnies, and the government in baghdad that is beholden to iran. What do 1500 more noncombat troops on free day plus 5. 6 billion. In light assume that happens. A . 6 billion or the president does, come march, whats our conversation . The conversation will probably still be, what is your definition of victory, mr. Obama . So we have spent 5. 6 billion have 1500 more combat troops on the ground . Exactly. And be no harder ahead . Men just like catherines husband, will get sent back time and time again for this thing for nine, 10, 12 months at a time. If we keep limping along like this. Somebody in congress has got to stand up on hind feet and demand you either stop the war or get a consensus. This ought not to be fought the way its being fought and certainly ought not to be fought without a cob congressional resolution puts people on record where they stand. In light of where we are should we get out . Well, you can get out. Can you declare victory. What happens if we get out . What you end up with is a lot more terrorism. So we got to stay and we got to do it . We have got it do Something Better than what we are doing today. Because all we are doing is wasting money and ultimately threatening american lives. Colonel, thank you very much. Happy birthday to the marines, sir. 23 years. Happy birthday all marines. God bless you all. Semper. Is president obama listening, just days after Midterm Election results showing rejection of the president s policy, president obama vowing to do what he wants again. Just yesterday the president insisting he will bypass congress and take executive action on immigration. Joining us our political panel, ron fournier, Jackie Kucinich and chief Political Correspondent byron york. Byron, the president wants to go it alone on this one . I think we have seen this before. Remember in 2009 and 2000 10, the public was virtually begging the president and democrats in congress to focus exclusively on the economy. Instead, the president spent a year working on health care plan. Now, if you look at the polls from these Midterm Elections, the economy is still the overwhelming first concern of voters. They want the public they want their leaders to do something about it they used to vote for the president for economic reasons. Now they voted for republicans for economic reasons. They actually do want something done. And is he going to do immigration instead. Except the thing thats getting a lot of members of congress upset is that jackie says he is going to do it alone. Is that in 2009 when he had the wind behind his sails in february right after he was inaugurated with overwhelmingly americans with with him on it, he said i won. And wanted to do that one alone and deeply offended republicans. Now he has a vote that is a rejection of his policy and is he is still saying im going it do it lone on immigration. I think part of the problem is that the republicans and the president dont meet eye to eye on immigration. Are they talking . I dont think so president obama has never been good talking to congress. Remember, right after the election there were all theels these stories written about how upset Senate Democrats were upset with the president because they werent communicating between even two parties that agree with each other. So i am very pessimistic about what this means for the next two years. Particularly on Something Like immigration or they do not under any circumstances see eye to eye. Ron, each more troubling in july of 2010 when he gave that speech to American University on immigration the house and the senate, both democrats, now today, he didnt do negative and now he is going to run right into a buzz saw with the republicans. He and his party had a chance to get this issue the way they wanted it and they punted at it because they prefer to have the issue inned mid terms. Look. You are right, byron, obviously the peoples main concern is the economy. This government should be capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time. Immigration is an issue. Its got to be tackled for the sake of the 12 Million People living in the shadows. For the sake of he our businessmen and women. For the sake of our country. This melting pot. This cant keep going the but is going alone, ron, the answer . Because thats what he says. Im going alone. Im actually in favor of what you would call liberal Immigration Reform of to use that lower case l. I dont think the president of the United States should be doing something this important on his own. For a couple reasons, one, i think its a nuclear bomb thats going to make a gridlocked washington more so. Which is one thing the country clearly send a message on o. They dont want any more gridlock. Two if you want Immigration Reform. If you are the president of the United States and you want to reform the system the worse way to do is this way. This kind of social legislation has to have some bipartisan support for it to be durable and lasting and real. The problem is you are right, jackie, the president of the United States is not capable. He doesnt have the skills. He doesnt have the willingness to deal with cock and republican and congress. Republicans members of congress dont have the ability to cut a fair deal either. Theyre very afraid. They are right wing and there being demagoguing on this issue. Going it alone the house has got more conservative. It did not move anywhere to where boehner is on immigration. There are more conservative members now. Going it alone will unite republicans against him. Remember in the senate 14 republican senators voted for the gang of 8 immigration bill. They are all going to be against the president doing this unilaterally. Right. He will be in a lot more trouble then on everything else. Anyway, panel, thank you. Thank you. Many are furious about president obama about his threat to take executive action on immigration. In fact, they are so angry, they are planning a march on washington. Sheriff thomas from massachusetts is organizing the march. He joins us. Good evening, sheriff. Good evening, greta, how are you . Im very well. Tell me about this march you have planned for december 10th. Well, sheriffs across this country have reached a point where we are tired of being marginalized in our ability to protect the citizens of our communities by a president who is saying, look, i dont respect the immigration laws. I think people ought to be able to come here in violation of the laws. And expecting Law Enforcement to look the other way. This just cant be because, i mean, everybody in our country understands legal residents as well as the american citizens that democracy exists only because we have a framework of laws. Telling people, look. You dont have to worry about the law. I dont respect it, i dont expect to you respect it. You can come on in, in spite of the fact you are violating the law. And to the 5 Million People around the world standing behind the borders respecting the laws of the United States, president is basically saying look, you are really sort of foolish for waiting your turn and doing it it the right way. [broken audio] sheriff, just repeat that last frame . You cut out on us. Sheriff, you have sent this letter out to other sheriffs across the country, whats been the response . Well, we are getting responses now. The sheriffs are actually assigned around the country who are calling in their region to motivate the sheriffs and immobilize them. Come to washington and meet senator sessions and senator vittert to talk about this and make sure that the people properly understand. The people who are really having audio problem with you. Thank you. We will be anxious to see the response to your letter by other sheriffs whether they join you or not. Sheriff, thank you, sir. And shocking statement from one of the architects of obamacare. What did he just get caught saying . Heres a hint. President obama is not going to like it. Thats next. Plus, donald trump is here. You know what donald trump thinks about china. And thats not good. And now donald trump has something to say about president obama in china. Donald trump will be here. And get ready the entire nation about to get hit were w. Really nasty weather. Some states are going to get a lot worse than others. This is going to be rough.

In clinical trials, most adults with moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis saw 75 skin clearance on humira. And the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Set a new goal today. Ask your dermatologist about humira. Because with humira clearer skin is possible. Caught on camera, a stunning admission from one of the are a teckets of obamacare. He claims the last of transparish is i in his words the stupidity of the American Voter. Get that, he is calling the American People stupid. Help the Obama Administration get the healthcare law passed. Jonathan gruber just surfacing. This bill was glin a tortured way it make sure cbo did not score the mandate as taxes. The bill dies. Its written to do that in terms of subsidies, get a law that said Healthy People are going to pay, in made it Explicit Health people pay in, sick people get money it would not have passed. Just like transparent lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, you know, paul the stupidity of the American Voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to6g qj getting this thing to pass. Its the second best argue look i wish mark was right and make it all transparent but i ox would rather have this
