lou: did your attorneys asked them what they are doing?3 we back the state of new york did not show up when we ask them we with your daughter last year we were fully compliant so we're willing to cooperate b we do think it is suspicious the timing is suspicious because we are a journalist to come after us right now. >> but as the definition of everyone in the york was catholic which is several million he tries to walk back the claims he was articulating of mission for s administration and? >> that seems to be the case. i have to show up in court next week the and it is striking. not just with dinesh d'souza but in the state of louisiana and was brought up by charges i was cleared and my private information was leaked to the of media.

there is an audit in the york state and their integrion s leaked by the york post. i am concerned my information will be leaked the press of the audit takes place for the that is my major concern. lou: other organizations should be concned. if this is intimidation trying to chill the investigative process. what is the process? >> the major debates is a fight every journalist they try to define me as the activist if they can make that stick then they would arguably have this same journalistic protections protections, this is a very fundamental point. lou: you are saying whoever the arbitrator is what is a journalist they dismiss the

activism of the new york times. >> that's right. so what is journalism if they can define that then they c take away the rights of we in the demise of the sedulous -- citizen journalist. lou: to see that trample on is disturbing in we will follow that closely. we wish you the best and will be with you all go away is our president or office holders using there power to retaliate? the "a team" has the users. stay with us. the republican party has a historic opportunity to keep the house tuned to take the senate. what is missing with the

what is missing with the republican battle

lou: the house speaker bay phase say conservative rebellion but when it comes to pushing emigration in legislation without securing the border. the speaker is expected to release his immigration and principles that was set the parameters for such legislation next week. but house republicans are concerned the leadership is preparing a path to amnesty rather than supporting the reform plan. so that revolution and maybe more significant than people suspect. president obama delivers his state of the union mired in

scandal and endless investigations with his own failed policies. the economy is reeling from a jobless recovery. all zero that and much more of foreign policy. now 283 days away from the next election and the republican party has a historic opportunity to hold the house and take corol of the senate but the g.o.p. does not have a strong message. in fact, one could argue there is a civil war in the g.o.p.. jordan we now stephen peyser and dos editor at town hall.com. , the turn to you. is seen to be the up -- siepi but citron reince priebus talking about the total end of message

which is a 283 days away and >>. >> guess he was talking about 2016 but also midterm elections it doesn't have to be the message and include 24t the unified message republicans have is obamacare. talk about historic turnovers look at 2010 obamacare was the baby issue before we saw premiums aaa ganda taxes the week up. that is what individual candidates will run on the dnc said they will try as well as more people are against obamacare will not go well for the democrats. if individual candidates to stick to the what message they have a good plan. lou: lecter of the failure of obamacare and this administration.

is that a half to breathe 42 percent who do identify as a dependent or that see you perhaps a little problematic? been back and now she has a right. anything they do to distract from obamacare be in the bay the message, we wanted to focus on obamacare but others them leadership did not want to spend as much time. i figure was right if the kid is right to focus on did now or particularly september or october or in november next year. disaster for the present incumbent democrats, but chuck schumer has said the democrats would be ready on obamacare it would be an asset. it is not. played the.

we now see do lowe's, beyond what we thought was the bottom not numbers of three birds to go. so republicans would be five is -- should be wise to dusk and the addition not offer some of their own thoughts on obamacare. but the focus should we be on obamacare. lou: if the republicans focus on obamacare and the speaker makes it clear he boost toward with the emigration of proposals that i support and i think millions of americans would would, with this of frustration and crashing its economic policies he and republicans is not be able to do much about 23 billion people being unemployed.

sublets of that you could hang on the president but the republicans have to have some kind of voice that addresses the unemployed to middle-class that is a shrinking in those aspirations that are being denied. justice a obamacare crashed and there is no news in that spirit but there's so much news that comes out of obamacare it is the centerpiece the way it is said of the way it is tripling the premiums it is destroying the middle-class now they can no longer move up to thepper class a a result of obamacare. those who were employed by businesses are either losing jobs or health insurance which means they don't have the money to go to develop themselves again to move up to that class a you know, lot of the middle-class is

pushed down to though overclass the disparity is bigger now under barack obama. you can talk about obamacare bid is important to know the economic consequences that goes with the legislation. of course, it will be a big deal for the middle class. >> what the reason the middle-css is shrinking is an alliance with and the elected officials felt response thursday of source vegas of the of class jobs and retreating policies that lead to offshore production. even now pushing the democratic president to sign a fast-track authority that requires many of the save

that have led to the devastation of the middle-class and a sizable portion of manufacturing jobs. how do they respond? how were they not thinking of those issues? >> i think i am not arguing only obamacare but it has to be what they talk about certainly you could have republican candidates make comments or on otherssues if they want to regaan john income the quality. lou: they have to. >> that's fine they have plans for upward mobility have that debate. conservative should want to. part of the problem in 2012 net romney wanted to talk about t economy and only that. you could draw up parallel in it would b a cautionary tale.

there romney wanted but he just talked about statistics that is not enough for a half to talk about other plans. lou: hdid not even talk statistics are in the substantive issue including a mob in bengha was al qaeda el link to a group of terrorists. he was so out of it in so afraid to embrace profound issues of american people a still desperate to have resolve of a free election better in a presidential year them the mid term it is better the and not at all to create a national consensus and he doesn't seem that there is any clear leadership yet. >> possibly but coming back to the issue of obamacare but republicans come and a

matter the candidate does not have to explain how it affects people all. lou: then why was said to the exclusion? and then why do you keep telling it? very the message they need to send to ifhey want health care back and it will not happen until the end slavery could do latitude look at health care under bush or under th registration of barack obama? life take there has to be a different approach. >> make an argument. lou: the truth of the matter is eric american people all deserve some users did with

it could obacare it is necessary and sufficient then why is a vastly lower? >> give is necessary. >> i have no problem with that. >> but there are so many other important issues to talk aut like the direction of this country. >> that is why republicans lose if they have the big object in front of them they get distracted then go off and go to other topics. lou: like immigration and? by rick exactly. the point is you have to at have a wedding issue wayou wanted change for the first i've been a long time republicans have wanted to focuto n dri off to r picsthatre n lou: is republicanarty

starting to drool at the mouth? stibine not the first time. >> if you go and you look at the poll done recently for americans to break the top issue with the size and scope of government fore tops 16% you have the deficit the top four or five issues those are the things they should focus on but they should not be distracted to talk about issues not at what americans care about. lou: we are out of time. thank you for being here.

that is why the speaker is practicing his curveball of inviggration of the 3% that the we are can people are concerned about it this bad guy would not be talking about immigration. we had this discussion of the four. with other conservatives. >> does not make sense to inject and.gov leave a gap througthe 24 teed alexian. the fifth focus is that. >> even if he brings the bill to the floor they still will might get it done before the bid terms so why bring it up as a distraction? lou: take care. a new poll shows this may not be a typical big term

eleven of the objectives in my new book is tohelp win elections. i discuss in my book "upheaval" that it's rare to have major turnover in capitol hill. listen to the short portion for my audio book. >> congress has created a system that makes it harder and harder for outsiders to run and win seats in the legislature. for decades congress has had an approval ratingembarrass parkinr attendance. and yet they keep getting reelected over and over again. lou: take a look at this. the last big election was in 2010 when republicans took the house. at 85% of incumbents were reelected. the good news is that they are encouraging signs in a new gallup poll shows record low number of voters, 46%, say that

representatives deserve reelection. that is a record low. most members of congress deserve election has dropped to an incredible historic low of 17%. it is up to the republican party leadership to take advantage of that rising discontent. and we hope that they will. because we need a viable republican party and an energetic and successful party to hve our successful two-party system. i hope he will help these gop leaders to focus on the right issues. the ones that really matter. and hope to have help in the hard work to expand the gop and getting republicans to the polls this november. as i said, there are only 283 days to go. 283 days.

>> i think that we have to wait and let the courts decide because w are innocent until proven guilty in this country. i would not defend criminal activity that is what is taking place here. that certainly it's hard to ignore his history. >> is not a conservative but he is a larry flynt of political literature. he has made a career writing rise and scandalous. so i don't give him any credit. i think it's a mistake when you talk about him being an author of political literature lou: wow.

>> think that this is a good showing. i no dinesh d'souza as well. i think that is happily pointed out, we are innocent until proven guilty. but it goes to the underlying nature of the administration that has overtly use the irs for political rposes. the point is someone who is a campaign donor of obama, to see whether it warrants investigation. as a conservative and one that has written a documentary that was very critical of the president, i think it's interesting in a sense of timing that they are coming after him like that's. lou: i think we should give "the washington post" credit for pointing out to john edwards campaign who stood in precisely the same position with the same amount of money. it was only a misdemeanor in 2007, apparently a far less demanding president with george w. bush. does that give you any pause at all and even the post would point that out?

[laughter] we are on the way. so what are your thoughts, if we could, very quickly. ron christie, we are getting ready for a state of the union address and peggy noonan says no one will be listening. is that true? >> i think that she is right. she wrote an excellent op-ed in "the wall street journal" or she said this president has

overstated and oversaturated. the state of unity to be about something important or the president had the opportunity to talk to the country. it seems that this president has a wasted opportunity to bring the country together a. lou: what your thoughts? >> our member when the president made a campaign video and tv speech. he said don't tell me the words don't matter. and he pointed to other mous speeches and he talked about the importance of words. >> i also remember a time when republicans didn't yell, liar, and disrespect the presidency. a house member certainly did in one state of the union. how can they behave to respect this office? lou: i remember when folks wouldn't interrupt someone in midsentence.

lou: stocks plummeting. the dow jones posting its decline since 2011, the largest decline. i'm joined by director financial research, jonathan, it is good to have you here. what is driving this selloffis a lot about emerging market currencies. a slowdown in the chinese economy? what do you think? >> there's a lot of thing at play. we think about argentina tile and actually defaulted on their currency that led to a default and russian sovergn debt and big bankruptcy with big hedge fund trading currency. so in that time the s&p was down 18%. how this sort of plays out.

there are risks manifesting in the market. lou: i want to put up a chart that i asked for earlier today. to show the relative market of these equities markets around the world. because people get a sense of oportion. we are looking at just about $23 trillion in europe is just about 12 trillion and china a ttle over 5 trillion. >> yes. lou: this is getting a little silly. because we have a business press that is letting the tail wag the dog. proportionality is critical. when you are assessing risks and making decisions about future bets. >> argentina's market cap is $40 billion. that is actually the sides of the uk connected global risk for a 40 billion-dollar bankruptcy were to go down, that would be massively important issue for

the global market. but it's in close proximity and so the discounting factor is it will drive thmarket. there is some smaller in but the latin american government can take care of it. lou: what is your judgment here? what is an investor to do and someone who is invested in it and what is yo judgment about what someone should do who has capital when he or she is thinking about investing? >> we arin the midst of a development market boom. so if you think about emerging market and outperforms for the better part of a decade. that capital has to go somewhere. so the capitals went to funnel into those markets, actually keeping a good bid under the u.s. and the german and the uk market.

lou: a new study finds out marijuana could cause addictive and compulsive behavior to be passed on to their children. as many states consider legalizing marijuana, joining us now is doctor marc siegel. a member of the fox news medical "a-team." doctor cummings great heavy with us. the president says that marijuana is better than our call. weighing in to another debate. which is an interesting decision on his part. is he right or wrong? >> refer back to his memoir where he talks about his old pot smoking days. maybe that is where the influence fuels the spirit of the answers he is not right. both are bad. i'm not going to come on the programs that alcohol is good for you. it's bad for you it's bad for

your liver and heart and brain. it is just bad. but so is marijuana. many studies out there have shn that it interferes with decision making and thinking especially when young people take marijuana. it interferes with her performance on tests and it's not good for the lungs. this new study is a fancy concept. what i did one person affects the offspring. it doesn't cause mutations that it alters how the genes are expressed. lou: so that actually reaches to the behavior of succeeding generations? >> yet, and we all thought that it was because of pot smokers of this generation say go ahead, go ahead. it's not like that. this study was done in rats and rats are not talking. the genetic changes that you see are related to something being passed along. it's frightening. lou: the president making this comparison. at this time there is a view that it should be legalized for medical reasons. do you support that? >> that is a hard one for me to support.

there are medical reasons for usg marijuana. but what ends up happening is that of its legalized it goes crazy. look at california. in california it is legalized for medical reasons, but everyone on the street corner is getting at. so it is used as an excuse. we will give out the local store and it's not restricted. lou: there is an argument. there was some considerable craziness in california before. and it's so predictable. but the white house -- the white house itself, drugs are contradicting the president on this. so what should people be doing to resolve this? do you say to a kid, stay away? we know everyone is going to be asked to go drinking illegally before age. ow do you counsel this? >> well, you can do about fear

but you have to go buy a role model. they have to see how you behave and what your priorities are and you have to hope for the best. then it has something to do with who they hang out with. you can't control people hang out with because a lot of peer pressure is involved. if you do it by fear you're going to lose. lou: i want to turn to another topic. h1n1 showing up in the country. it looks like a difficult flu year. what do you say to people about what to expect? >> people can still get their flu shots and they should. here's the deal. this is still the same flu predominating that we talked about in 2009. in an epidemiologist told me that 10 dumbest stay around for a few years. lou: there is the good news. >> this year it is still affecting the young. so that is the group. the target group is still young people and pregnant women. so i say everyone get a flu shot to create a ring of immunity to

protect your family. now is the time. lou: i can tell you in my own family that some of the young adults who are closely related to me have resisted getting their flu shots because they are so independent. >> are they out an agreement? i have some shots. the. lou: talk about a frightening thought. doctor marc siegel, it is always good to have you. >> good to see you. lou: before we go, we are promoting my new book, "upheaval." here are some of tonight's top comments. patrice will mean that keep talking. her voice needs to be heard on capitol hill before the republicans give the next election hillary clinton. that will mean the total demise of america as we know it. and i couldn't agree with you more except let's worry about 2014 here as well. and charles wrote on facebook about the president threatening executive action.
