7:28 pm
there may be few were radical islamist rebels as a secretary suggests a day of the moderate fighters but the groups like the al qaeda link front are better organized, armed entrained the best armed groups in syria opposing the assad regime and affiliated rebels have carried out 600 attacks on the country since november 2011. of the president of russia calls our secretary of state testimony before congress lies without a full indirect and energetic response by this administration, something is terribly wrong. the american public knows that. even our congress and senate are beginning to understand that. it appears our president has crossed the line of his own and now running the risk of not only being a lame duck

how in the world does he expect to have people enjoyed him if he does not understand him? >> he does not have a relationship with putin and people could criticize bush 43 but he always had a relationship no matter what it was with virtually every leaders of the world of he had nicknames and dialogue with them and he knew how to schmooze. president obama does not know how to do that and it is very obvious that putin has absolute disdain and thinks he is a light weight and consequently what he is doing is treating him like that. this never should have happened we never should have gotten to the level where we are especially to the group of 20. lou: as you speak we show video from the palace in
7:36 pm
st. petersburg where as the host of the ig 20 summit was showing mr. obama of the door a peculiar moment is no support voiced for this president's plan to strike a respective of congressional approval? >> again, our closest ally, the great britain, we do not have nato. we clearly don't have the u.n. security council because it was very cleverly done i believe when assad did this has had their votes. even the arab league does not support us. when you get in a position like that, we have to
7:37 pm
reexamine what we want to do it is a shot across about to not make anything happen constructively. lou: again that as part of the president's rhetoric he but like to withdraw i think if it were possible will this president after running into insurmountable opposition this evening and in congress will he still attack syria? >> if the congress does not give him the authority and pass the resolution, i don't think he will. he could but that could be his waterloo because the whole world and congress and clearly the majority of the american people do not want anything to do with this in the military does not want anything to do with it they have no end game with any
7:38 pm
valid results or objectives of the has been at war 12 years and the other thing that is so astonishing is he has a psychopath of unilateral disarmament in the military so that is what is troubling them. lou: general mcinerney thank you. go to our web site for full coverage of the jpmorgan chase asset sell-off and a revealing look at idc penny is removing products from their shelves. a flat day for the market but positive ahead of the unemployment report. we'll be back with the "a team". next.

7:44 pm
continued expectations for tapering in september. lou: that would be difficult even for this fed committee to raise rates if they see a disappointing number? >> the best they could do would not to be -- would be to not taper you see the asset allocation shift so the market has been pricing this in for quite some time since may. lou: housing, cars, with the annualized rate of 60 million that is impressive, what about housing or the market or the expectations for growth? >> that was the most important variables up from 1.7% growth the market has
7:45 pm
been swimming against sequestration that could have been a 3% number quite easily very good for equities was still challenges for bonds. lou: what about the 10 year bond? >> fate of what that level was we think the next move quickly could be a 4% move. lou: impact on the consumer? >> but the biggest tax on the economy is on the sabres with a good old-fashioned balance budgets do not have the savings rate so there is some give-and-take some of the leverage would be hit the lip get the baby boomers and the rates on cash would be a good thing. lou: they give for being with us. the white house finds a

7:51 pm
>> i second that emotion but the working habits of the bombing administration anytime they are sorted the checks and balances go out the window they think whenever they are doing is god's work a matter what congress says are what the courts say there is a lawless administration. >> god's work for zero bombings were? >> i know what i think. [laughter] lou: i think many people say thank goodness he makes them laugh -- a mess but the attack on syria on its base is outrageous. will he win? but that to sound seems to be a rubber-stamp we have already heard from the leader of the republican party in the house his
7:52 pm
number two and speaker peter? >> it will pass but the black caucus is against the president on this and they have been told not to talk about it does the and back we do have democrats that are against it i don't take it will pass the house but then it president said in the arrogant manner he is going there to speak to do little loaves of the bottom line is if congress writes a dam will he act alone? i think that will be a big mistake. lou: this is the president he goes around congress with every opportunity. will he have the temerity or arrogance or unprecedented arrogance to call for a vote then having lost still strike syria? >> we will find out the way
7:53 pm
things are going i think he will lose the vote because after the first day i thought he would win he had outlined the problem but lacked the courage to the bet kicks achaean. lou: i missed that part with the outline. >> a do believe we have to do something. if the united states does not stand up to people like assad the world will go dark lou: the world will go dark? you should be doing speechwriting for obama.

7:54 pm
nation? >> the controversy in syria is not of national interest to the united states of america. >> that is absolutely wrong. >> this is a human rights issue should we be involved? there should be international coalition. lou: can somebody explain why the use of chemical weapons allegedly killed 1300 people it is a dispute who did carry out the attack when headed thousand people killed in syria in you were telling me that if everybody gets their nose out of joint because 32 people were killed by chemical weapons?
7:55 pm
is this some sort of madness there is the equivalency between 100th thousand dan 1300 because of chemical weapons? >> i believe the mistake he made is not just now but goes way back by what he did to draw the redline. >> he gave the green light for everything else that is why we have 100,000 dead. lou: you have 100,000 dead i'm not a fan of the president. >> but what happened? with 2 million refugees jordan or lebanon will laws survived if syria us survives with even half the country i ran will continue. lou: i understand the complexities but what you have asserted is the
7:56 pm
president correctly stated the problem in fact, that is why not one country has stepped up to go up with this leader on this issue at this time. >> i want to talk about the redline. he said the world set the redline but we heard he said the redline when he pulled back so where is the world? we still stand so long dash standalone so when you start a conflict that you back yourself it is chaos and confusion. lou: we are out of time. this president is asking to attack a sovereign nation it is the view of the conservative thinker in this
