and 28 said the same. be sure to law god for the question in evert -- every weekday. his second term agenda seems to off the rails. the administration is mired in scandal. it's gun-control campaign failed, immigration reform is a mess, and topping it all off, the president may be in need of a new speechwriter. an eagerly awaited foreign policy speech in berlin just two weeks ago was widely panned, even his teleprompter let him down. it was sweltering hot. he spoke by 6 inches a bulletproof glass. and not so eerly awaited speech on climate chae last week served as a huge disconnect

between what the white house is focusing on and what the american peoe want this president to say. the heat was a problem there as well, although it allowed the president to use himself as of prop. one declaring, mixed -- climate change is happening now. we're taking a pafs of the president's political capitol both domestically and overseas the pulitzer prize-winning columnist michael goodwin. also, the hunt for in as a aker edwards will -- snowdon. fox news national security ambassador john bolton weighing in on the ongoi discussions over edward snowden and what it means for o relationship with both russia and china. and things that the embattled internal revenue service going from bad to worse, a second irs official refusing to answer the questions by congress, and this time over allegations that he awarded half a billion dollars

of contracts to a body. house oversight committee member congressma joins us to tell us what is going to be done next to fix the irs. the obama administration today urging russia to expel edward snowden, returning to this country to face espionage charges. our next guest says the russian prime minister is essentially coming his nose at us. joining us now, former pentagon official, fox business a security analyst, former ambassador to the united nations. fox news contributor. let me for start with you. i mean, it looks like he is having a lot of fun right now with president obama. >> si is thumbing his nose the president obama. the same time he is taking that super bowl ring from the new england patriots. you know, it is actually quite tragic because it is not to the point where the president of the united states carries no credibility. and china and russia are making

fun of him today and thumbing eir noses at him, tomorrow it is venezuela and the next day it is other countries. once this starts weather countries and other leaders have no respect for the president of the united states it is a cascading effect. lou: jay carney, white house press spokesman said that they may a deliberate decision, a deliberate decision to let him leav hong kong for russia. we presume that is where he is ded unquestionably has a negative impact on u.s.-china relations focusing on the chinese side of this trilogy, if you will. what are your thought >> well, i think it is a demonstration that the chinese could not care ls what the white house says. did we really do all that we could to persuade them not to let him go? did the president call the chinese president? did the secretary call his counterpart, have they called

their counterparts in russia? you know, when you don't convey the seriousness o your message and you don't make it clear that there will be consequences or if the other country does not believe that there are consequences, it will be dood to failure whi is what has happened. i think we have not just a lack of respect for the president the diplomatic incompetence on displahere. >> and it has a real national security implications. i was in china. you know, the bigge issue right now is as cyber issue. cyber hacking, cyber espionage. he said, you are the ones who are hacking yes. you're the ones are spying on us. we have no proof of that. we certainly have provedhat the chinese are doing a test. we had no proof that we were doing to the chinese, except he has now said, well, the united states, an essay is reading chinese text messages of a cell phones. what does that say?

we have now given the chinese a major concession in our bilateral relationsp. lou: both you and the ambassador talk about all we have done. but this demonstration has done are not done. putting the responsibility of the united states. i want to ask you. this seems to me and has from the outset, and i said from the very assets, that this looks to me like a very carefully conceived and executed for espionage plan carried out by the chinese. i now think maybe chinese and russians. the reason i say that is the coincidence data points. this summi that ends in the eighth of june. the guardian is publishing on the fifth. o on june 9thurt records. identifying and weird as the culprit here. it looks like a concerted and well executed effort,

ambassador, to destroy the summit, to blow back against whht were the administration's nuer one point o contention on their agenda, that is chinese cyber attacks against the united states. it was blown away in this one act. >> whether it was preplanned are not, several things are clear. i think that everything that he has on the four in s a laptop computers he took with him is now when chinese hands. very hard to believe that they did not extract everything that they could, and that thinkhat the russians are doing exactly the same thing. so for all those who say that he was a truth teller and a whistle blower, you know, he has given our adversaries critical information. people who have reason to fear what might be on those computers say that the damage that is going to be causedo our intelligence gathering capabilities is just

incalculable. nothing to do with the programs. llu: the head of nsa said exactly that directed to the congress of the united states, talking about the lasting damage , the significant damage. at this point what does this administration have available to it to seek out, find, and return him to justice for her -- wherever he may be? >> they should go to the russian spirit the part of the problem is this is a pattern. no one feels they will be tough enough to do anything, but they could go to the russians as to the missile shield, a goodwill gesture, we are rethinking that policy. we c also get to them and say, you want american health and technology. the eastern siberian. you know, we won't do any of this because of the way you're treating yes. it's a slap in the face. lou: my hope, if i may add this to the brew here. my hope would be that we have intelligence assets such that we

would not need to go through diplomatic channels but we would exact, if you will, a certain amount of justice on the behalf of the united states that is appropriate. i will leave it in those terms. thank you very much. scandals erupt in the obama administration. the irs under fire. another irs official takes the fifth. one congressman joins us to analyze the fireworks. today's house oversight

♪ lou: my next guest was in the house oversight committee hearing today and says the irs is now an institution that in his judgment is terminally ill. joining us now, member of the

house oversight in judiciary committee. good to have you with us, congressman. >> thank you for having me. lou: i have to say, when he looked at congressman duckworth, i mean, one of the most infuriating images i have seen a long time. how could you stand it? >> this is a guy who injured his foot when he was in military prep school. never served active duty at all. yet 27 years later he claims a service connected disability to be able to get preferential treatment and to qualify for programs. obviously a fleecing of the taxpayers and an abuse of his service disability. after tell you, i am a former prosecutor, and i see more people with the irs take the fifth than i did when i was prosecuting cases. this is t second person in about six weeks that has done it

the problem that i see with this is, the american people are not getting the answers but when these individuals take the fifth amendment, we know that there was misconduct because that is plain to see. nothing happened. this is implemented there was placed on administrative leave. each steered $500 million worth of contracts to his buddy, a company that had about $250,000 in total revenue before the irs data involved. lou: did he break the law, congressman? >> i think, certainly there were laws that were broken. if you look at the relationship that they had. if you get the amount of money at stake and if you look at the fact that this was a company that did not do very much business and then all the sudden -- lou: a year-old. >> well, it had been for two years por to this it did about 250,000 in revenue. all the sudden in 2012 and the individual lets youentioned to plan disability purchase the

company, they start getting millions and millions of dollars where the virus work. so is not above board, but the problem is, we only see these things happen. people say, oh, we are identifying problems. we need more this o that. it goes much deeper. is a culture of arrogance. lou: what do you guys do? ammine kamal we're watching here -- the irs cannot even apparently find, nor can this president, a person to serve as a commissioner of the internal revenue service, acting commissioner, and term commissioner. and this is an organization. you say they're terminally ill. when are you going to -- web you going to get this thing fixed and bring in somebody with the integrity to lead the organization, to get it straightened out? this is no longer -- we have 16,000 new agents being hired. just for obamaccre.

>> well, obviously, in the house whoould like to do a major overhaul. like all this people accountable we will bring her back. the problem is that the executive branch is not really interested in investigating and holding people accountable. we have the director of the fbi in front of the judiciary committee. he did not even know who was leading the irs investigation. lou: this is going to have to be, it seems to me, if you feel that there is a lot of popular will around the outrage that is obviously being built in washington and other parts of the country. you have to do something in a different way, perhaps faster, perhaps deeper in the investigation. more staff and more facts to put in front of the american people. >> absolutely. i think we also need to understand thatrom a policy perspective the irs is really passed its point of usefulness. we need to move to a flat tax and give the government less

power over the individual and allow people to be able to make decisions for themselves so that this way you would not have to worry about some of these officials must be having. lou: congressman, i would love to have a fair tax to my flat tax, a set percentage just like i think most americans, but one of the surest ways to damage the investigation right now is for you all to get caught up in tax-cut reform when what you have to do is get rid of a bunch of snakes and a really lousy, lousy corrupt management at the irs. >> amen. lou: thank you for being with us. good to talk to you. good luck. up next, a gain of eight member senate to lindsay gramm taking some wd claims about the senate immigration legislation in the "chalk talk". we will examine those claims by south carolina's senator. the boys used double miles from their capital one venture card

the most ggressive attempt to control the southern border and regain our sovereignty. lou: militarizing our border. that is gang of eight members senator lindsay gramm urging support for the immigration legislation because according to the senator it militarizes the border. despite the gain of eight very best efforts to drive through the legislation, not everyone is buying at. the bill is simply too long. no one seems to have read it, and it has been negotiated behind closed doors and is not come close to doing what has been promised. just a few of these samples and contentions. one, border security itself. an amendment tt hopes to add 20,000 border amendments. the path the citizenship and the agents, they cannot be hired. sunday thousand eras, they cannot start hiring before 2017.

i mean, that is qui a twist. homeland security secretary janet napolitano given just five years to raise the total number of fires to 20,000. experts say the hiring of some many agents could take up to 20 years. this equilibrium, and the cost issue. according toongressional budget office, the immigration bill would cut the deficit by nearly $200 billion over the next decade. critics say that conclusion is based on washington accounting tricks. using social security and medicare payroll contributions from newly legalized workers to find spending elsewhere. eventually all the money would have to be used to pay for the benefits that the workers would draw during their retirement. kid is amazing. accoing to the heritage foundation once the amnesty recipients reach retirement age

the annual net cost to taxpayers will reach $160 billion per year now, if those numbers are correct this is not a great idea remember, it was the congressional budget office that initially projected obamacare would cost 900 billion over ten years. now as they revise a further they double their estimate. these are very early estimates. i think even the congressional budget office would agree. and then there is the little matter of loopholes dollars a big deal in washington. the word wnever appears in the gang of a legislation 94 times. given the power to grantaivers . a national security secretary, already declared the borders more secure than ever.

driving the virtual world that we find great convenience and value. >> there are two reasons for go one is the harm is less great to being shown there wrong ad is different from being investigated. lou: way to. we know just about everybodytha is almost ubiquius but there is a very narrow and small numberer there being the investigated by the government they are not analogous by size or scale or incident. we could talk. , back and we will continue the conversation. i think it is a fascinating perspective. we appreciate you sharing your insights. up next the bernanke rallied

considerable transparency and grr efficiency. what do you expect to be the result to be withdrawn hopefully positively returns to a margin of prosperity? >> you will start to see a credit market starting to work on a reliable basis and that is a good day like rent-controlled housing but it does not create more housing. but by not easing up you'll have more credit available for people who produce jobs and less for the government who should not have that many in the first place. lou: you are not if ey and of bernanke policies of your
