disapproval rating. tonight his numbers are reversed. the gallup daily tracking poll shows the president's job approval rating at 39%, just one point from his all-time low. and his disapproval rating at 53%, one point from his all-time high. the pool is moving after revelations of the lead investigator into the irs conservative targeting scandal has an immense conflict of interest in the case. she is a democrat that has donated two both obama campaigns. after to declassify benghazi report show that the white house clearly did not tell the truth about what they knew and when they knew it. hillary clinton's popularity also stunned by the benghazi whitewash for the infamous testimony of the false narrative pushed by the white house and the state department in the weeks after the benghazi attack.

>> the fact is is that was it wanted to go kill some americans? what is the difference at this point? what point does it make? >> it makes a great deal of difference. the difference is that we now know that a protest did not happen at all. that the obama administration knew almost immediately that it was not a demonstration or a protest. it is all making a difference in the polls. while her lead over opponent chris christie has grown, her popularity has not. pew research reporting today that mrs. clinton's favorability has dropped 10 points since she left the state department amid controversy in december 2012. numbers that could get worse as the benghazi truth continues to

slowly be revealed. as for governor chris christie, the george washington bridge controversy has hurt him. they chose chris christie losing considerable ground in a possible matchup with presidential candidates. he now trails bill clinton 50 to 37% after trailing by just three points a month ago. and among americans who have heard about this scandal, 24% say that their dislike for the new jersey governor as a result. the disastrous implementation of the signature achievement no doubt playing into his numbers as well. on capitol hill today experts warned that the obamacare website is still a hacker's dream and of course this president's nightmare. a group of cybersecurity professionals testified before a house panel saying that there has been no progress on securing healthcare.gov some three months

after experts first pointed out the portability. even worse they say that there is no way to tell whether there has already been a successful breach. >> as of november 70 that had not been built or were implemented, which means if they didn't have the capabilities to detect the attacks that are being mentioned here today. as we emphasize that they don't know. >> they are not in a position to know one way or the other. >> that is correct. lou: at a separate hearing an official admitted that no one knows how many people have paid for obamacare coverage so what have individuals paid? does the administration to collect this information? i'm just asking ii you collect this information? >> right now we are not that we will be.

>> one is that? >> as soon as the functionality is built. the one that is why the house passed legislation requiring health and human services to provide accurate and weekly numbers of those who have enrolled on the obamacare website. how speaker john boehner says republicans are moving forward with their own health care insurance alternative. >> fact checkers today also criticizing the obama administration and the claim that 3.9 million people signed up for medicaid because of obamacare. "the washington post" is signing three out of four possible pinocchio is the administration, saying that there is no way to tell whether those sign-ups are because of obamacare.

and new reports that obamacare isn't faring better on the state level. in fact, in work and things are a complete mess. officials there have reportedly slashed the budget for their insurance exchange because enrollment is running so far behind and they still can't process an entire enrollment online. and according to the national review, one out of seven of the obamacare navigators turned up a federal crime database. those navigators are the folks entrusted with people's personal and sensitive information. it is all coming together, is in a? well, we have it all covered tonight. the "a-team" reacts to president obama's bad week and chris christie. we are joined by michael goodman, brad blakeman, and a.b. stoddard. also the iranian nuclear deal is beginning to be made public. we will be talking with four-star general jack keane who

lou: secretary of state john kerry urging members of the syrian opposition to attenddnext week's peace talks in switzerland. he said the conference is critical in finding a political

resolution to the civil war. it has claimed 120,000 lives least. >> obviously none of this is going to be easy. and in a war and stopping a slaughter never is easy. and we believe that this is the only road that can lead to the place where the civilized world has joined together in an effort to leave the parties to a better outcome. lou: serious opposition groups vote tomorrow on whether to attend the peace talks. egyptian voters are overwhelmingly approved with a new military constitution and they have spent today's voting, that is according to an unofficial results released by the election committees across the country. if the constitution is officially approved in its current form, it is expected to open away for a presidential run

the obama administration released a summary of the iranian nuclear deal today. iran agreeing to stop production of 20% enriched uranium, or at least half of it. and disable the centrifuges at least in their current configuration, which produces this. in addition to daily inspections because that is when the international atomic energy administration will be on the case. all of this comes as the white house reach the senate, trying to stop any new sanctions from being enacted. sanctions that have the support of 59 senators. joining us now is retired four-star army general jack keane. fox news military analyst. we have a lot to cover tonight. so let's start with the iranian nuclear deal. we are seeing dribs and drabs was this deal that we at least

agree to this point. what is your reaction? >> we would all welcome a diplomatic solution to this mentor and friend dismantle their nuclear program. we have to remember what this really is. it's a pause in the program and the infrastructure stays in place that they have deeply buried into the ground to stay in place. what they are doing is reducing some of their enriched uranium and they are shutting down some of their centrifuges. but the program basically stays intact. the on something very specific and directed here in the amount of money that we will be releasing in terms of money that has been frozen, $4.2 billion to be dispersed in a very quick order and also opening up the issue of $100 billion in iranian assets around the world. and i'm just going to ask you.

does rohani have a point when he says that americans have been to the well of the iranians? >> that is propaganda. but this much i do know. they have lied to us for 30 plus years. and we have to have a healthy dose of skepticism about what is happening now and that they have no intent whatsoever to dismantle this program and what they want is removal of the sanctions and then to secretly continue their weapons development program. we have to have that viewpoint and stay on top of these guys. i'm very concerned that they are manipulating us and bullying us and what has happened. lou: the american people, with benghazi and a host of other scandals as well, but let's talk about benghazi. the chairman of the joint chiefs, general dempsey testified telling congress that

the u.s. military could not go out and kill the terrorists who kill those americans on september 11, 2012 in benghazi. because of the authorization for the use of military force in the agreement. now, is he right? it is on comprehensible that he could be right. >> we have the right to react when the force was being taken and so we could've got there and we would've fought and killed and we may have had some of our own people her. to that is a fact. the second thing in what should have been done is we know who did this. the senate has confirmed this. they have had bunch of activity in that area and we know who the leaders are. if finding should have been given by the president of the united states authorized the central intelligence agency to attack them just as we had

authorized them to do the same thing with al qaeda after 9/11. lou: what kinds of games are being played on capitol hill? with the united states congress and the senate, that they would even release his report with the chairman of the joint chiefs who was basically claiming that his hands were tied because of this. instead of saying go to the president of the united states, look for your orders, and go take care of business. this is the president told the american people that he was going to kill the terrorists. >> he has full authority to grant the use of force. and it should've been done. as a matter of fact, the next morning when the sun rose, raines should've been there securing the facility and putting the flag back up and then preventing the fbi -- they waited three weeks because the area was not secure. that was u.s. property. it is outrageous, frankly. it continues to be that way. and we still don't have the

accountability that we should have. lou: going to another part as we wrap up. that is rohani. we find out on this broadcast that it amounts to 2000 people if you include civilians and contractors and military. and that it is at best a shell command covering the second largest continent on earth. i mean, what in the world are we doing with them? >> we are going to do more with them. what we have done is certainly a huge awakening call for the department of defense. they did not have any on hand response forces. until that has been fixed. but i've been told that rohani will give our priorities and they deserve to have it.

but rohani is on fire in the north and the northeast because of this. lou: it is great to have you here. coming up next in my new book, i talk about why this president may be his own worst enemy. particularly when it comes to education. a favorite topic of this president and he talks a lot about it. so what has he done? next coming up in the "chalk talk" why's that? uh, mark? go get help! i have my reasons. look, you don't have to feel trapped with our raise your rate cd. if our rate on this cd goes up, yours can too. oh that sounds nice. don't feel trapped with the ally raise your rate cd. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

lou: is probably no surprise that i hope by now you have picked up a copy of my new book. please do if you haven't. the book is based on a nightly "chalk talk" where we try to tackle some of the most important issues facing this country. i also hope that we can get some folks, thinking folks, to figure out how to fix this republican party to fix this mess up country of ours. it focuses on the most important issues who are middle class. because i champion the middle class and i do so in this book

and i want the republicans to win some elections this year. among the most critical issue is education, public education in this country, it's the great equalizer in our society. let me be clear that president obama has messed up on just about everything everywhere. but he has really messed up on education. in part because it is such a critical and crucial role for the local government in this country. from his failed attempts at overhauling the no child left behind law to the failed efforts at providing universal preschool rather than focusing on elementary k-12 education. including his intrusion into state and local education. listen today to have the president was urging more than 100 university and college presidents at the white house to expand access to higher education. >> boring people are earning college degrees than ever

before. and so we have made progress there. but as i have discussed with some of you, we are still going to have to make sure that the rising tuition doesn't place the middle class out of college education. before you keep funding those big increases, pushing up the salaries of those administrators and professors, those that are not worried about performance, but rather bringing in more federal money than their middle-class families of students, with tremendous debt to pay for those ever higher tuition costs. mr. president, you can stop this and you know it, and the republicans need to understand that this is a critically important issue for these midterm elections. it takes a lot of guts to talk about rising tuition prices. as if mr. obama has nothing to

do with that. but there is no shortage of political gods in washington dc. and as we watch them behave as if money is the solution always, we need the republicans to start providing some ideas. real ideas. not just talking, but getting it done. i talk about it in my chapter four, it is entitled blessed are the children. i point out that one of the main problems in washington and with democrats is that i see that they throw money at every problem and hope it goes away. it's up to the republicans get behind the effort. consider this. $15,171. that is how much the government is spending on average every year on each public school student. a 400% increase since 1960. and what has happened to the test scores? they have dropped like a rock. what have we got for a?

well, here's another sobering number. 67%. that's the percentage of the fourth graders who cannot even read at their grade level. does that sound like money is making a difference to you? because it isn't. and it's a difference that is entirely negative. the quality of education at this country could measure and we would be on top of the world. but we are now ranking is a dismal 51st out of 139 countries. so we can all join hands and salute our leaders in washington for their great efforts. it is stunning. it is stunning. and we rank 28 overall and education. it's important to know those facts and to get the republican party to know them and to do something about it and focus on the issues that matter to the middle class of this country and those who aspire to it. republicans need to wake up and

start winning elections instead of raising this money and helping out fatcat friends. i hope you'll take a look at what i have to say in my book. i urging that wal-mart were your local wal-mart and pick up a copy. the audio book is available in lots of places. lots of forms and media. we love it. go to loudobbs.com for links to all of the above. we want to hear from you and we are sending it personalized copy that we read right here on the broadcast. send me tweet or google or facebook page. there are links to everything. send me your e-mail and some of our top comments tonight, e-mailed me about the advice that i gave the gop and i could not agree with you more. starting with the head of the rnc, john boehner, eric cantor, and the others. some new blood and new ideas.

the debate is being driven largely by the liberals to oppose anything. whether it is snowden or the new york times. lou: they want to know the statute. >> that's right. the debate has been lopsided publicly, but privately as a lot of concern that we will give away everything. lou: give away everything. right now we have the spectacle of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff saying that he could not go killed the terrorists who killed four americans as september 11th 2012 because of the authorization of that use of military force. we also just took the former army vice chief of staff here to let general jack sheehan who said all that is required is to find and go get him. he brought up something. we might not have had a time to save for american lives, but we sure would have been in time to save a whole bunch of terrorists responsible for killing our people. >> the bipartisan report on the attack and benghazi that was

released this debate talks about a number of small-scale attacks that led up to the september 11th 2012 attack that killed the ambassador in the three others. there was a fair warning. there was also, as everyone knows the mayor requests from ambassador steve is for more security command i think that this report, that it could have gone further, is tough on the administration and the state department making the point that they are to blame that security was inadequate and that the attacks were preventable. adding those are heavy charges. it was such a failure. lou: i have to ask you. of want to give brad in the last 30 seconds. i apologize. you get the last word here tonight. >> well, on benghazi the american people have made up their minds. they made up long ago. no amount of the informational change the narrative. it was a terrorist attack. it was not caused by video. lou: thank you very much. appreciated as always. that is it for us tonight.
