obstacle of the immigration debate. the administration wants to give 6 million former felons the right to vote because they're likely democratic voters? twerking us on the unprecedented intervention and his insistence on using executive orders as he ignores congress popular opinion in his own statements of the past. but perhaps the biggest challenge facing the president is a lack of credibility. he has an immense trust deficit in the gallup approval rating falling back at 39 percent today 1.above the all-time lowest rating. now republicans tell the president who wants to negotiate they see no point to work with a president they don't trust.

many of his own party don't want the campaign with him or to be associated with him looking for a foreign policy success somewhere, anywhere in the world hence his return to asia. tonight secretary of state kerry is in korea making the case tradition redouble the efforts to keep north korea in check. >> our belief is that time indicated to borne out church korea to take action to coming into compliance and i will encourage china to use all means at its disposal to do so. lou: this sounds good but is there a strategy behind that if it to asia?

ended in the region what is the point of this tebet aside from the politics? attorney to asia. >> expert and a sense especially after a decade of blood and sweat and money spent in iraq and afghanistan. theoretically the private is absolutely right. obama is a smart man like his former secretary of state elliott clinton out we first heard about the pivot. [laughter] she did identify that as a key mission of u.s. foreign policy. he picked up the theme that unfortunately the economic and political guides seem to be against him because the first trip, it could have then the people suggest it was because the first trip

was aborted by the shutdown. he had to cancel the trip. lou: with the tea 302 asia the most powerful country geopolitically is tied dash on dash tied up. why not go to china? >> you have to shore up the alliances who by the way are not getting along with one %-to pay an is just under enormous pressure from the chinese who don't like the fact there regrading japanese history to make the invasion of china them more palatable to the domestic audience as china itself is worried about japan and creasy the pensive expenditures. why? because they don't trust the united states to fulfill its

commitment with 60 percent of the forces in asia. lou: at this point the strongest and the loudest and the most specific voices on the overreach by the chinese government that is itself the attention that ever rises in the area and of a very clear nature of the south china sea with the sphere of influence why we do not expect that government not to react forcefully? >> i expected them to react. and we are rather stunned when the united states announced it would construct commercial airlines to abide by the tighter unilateral extension of air defense and

at the same time sent unmanned fighter pilots in the space to send a mixed message. the philippines out long last obama has stepped up to the plate to support the philippines claims of the south china sea. so we're starting to get the formation of the pivot policy eluding us and tell about. lou: you see this as positive for the president to support allies that have been neglected? hours has been a very rough history. it would be good to see this president act as if india existed or that china has designs leading up to hegemony and affect the philippines are the historical partner in what

they received over the course of the last four years? to make you articulate the need to support the allies more coherent the ban the president has happened to know about. the problem. lou: news said he was smart. [laughter] >> the problem with the pivot it is all rhetoric with no strategy or action. lou: what would you have a stew with a country so large it important commercially to geopolitically? they've make designs on a territory that is not theirs? >> the president should be very clear in the use of force to accomplish that goal will not be tolerated by the united states. lou: he gives ultimatums to leaders of smaller countries to back that is why the president works with our allies in the region to

reassure them about america's determination to carry forth on the pledges that it makes. lou: a year expecting to see a clear path forward from the improvement of the relationship hrs significant deterioration? >> we will have considerable attention because not with the collapse but it is a setback. that trade component the president has very little to show so far in the chinese will push and push and tell they are stopped. lou: they give for being here. secretary kerry chose a perfect time to be a bride with a heavy snowstorm hitting much of the east bringing the federal government to a standstill for all federal offices

pen and phone to get around congress that threat through executive is an unusual and contradictory to his views on abuse of power before he took the oval office. we found the speech of his march 2008 you may find illuminating or aggravating. >> i taught constitutional law 10 years bright take the constitution very seriously. the biggest problem we face right now has to do with george bush trying to bring more power into the executive branch cannot go through congress at all. that is what i intend to reverse what i am president of united states of america. lou: as an aside that you think there is a stress it is remarkable. it happens to the vast -- best.

>> ironclad i lost my hair at 29. i am just in a bald guy. [laughter] arthur has already introduced in south. [laughter] they give for being here. between the president when he is now doing he goes it a loan. we go the public does not like it what can be done? >> it is in creating but when i did the research for this segment all presidents have exercised that and they do is so often we are not even aware. for example, when executive order initiated by the president to days before his minimum-wage to rename the national security staff to the national security council. big deal. we don't care but it is the

big stuff. but unless we protest he gets away with that. lou: what about congress? is there a constitution to limit his coalition? >> start about the beginning the president before he was the president what he would do when he was a candidate in what he does the president. that has been going on for the course of history. wilson said he would never send us to war as a candidate then as he was president. lou: was a a progressive?

now accused to plagiarize of the complaint spirit that is of fundy byproduct. once again talk about the forefathers. lou: are you keeping me on point? [laughter] >> did what the president to do anything without the approval of congress. they left a the marquee. that was the number one priority. number to his privacy if you chose washington or franklin that they have access to. lou: what about right to privacy expressed in the constitution? >> shout it again. lou: that right is of the that it? >> the counter argument could the forefathers have envisioned the osama bin bonded flying to planes into

the role trade center. lou: we have a congress with two oversight committees the national security that intelligence agencies and overseen by congress what more could be done? nobody is disputing these agencies failed to tell congress what they we're doing. >> above the need now is probable cause. going through sulfone records your e-mail reid the probable cause that every american in the country. >> she hit the nail on the head. basically the way this is wrapping up. lou: from september 1 through today we now have the federal government, congress suing the very people who have

been protecting us against radical islamist terrorism over the past 13 years? it is about reality. >> today with the inter the federal courthouse a and the guards to although the you should see what they do. take off my belt, the issues , i cannot bring might ipad. there is a black-and-white digest's think we have gone a little too far. i will change my tune if god forbid another accident happens. lou: god bless you for being on this. most americans if one needed to ochered it would have to be a large event they would charge to the front of the blind to say what in the hell was the government do we?

>> 3.2 million people have signed up for health insurance and far short of the administration's projections and 5.6 million by this point, 7 million by the end of next month. lou: so what is the white house doing in the face of such embarrassing failures to perform? this is a denial that there was any target member. >> i think that success looks like at least 7 million people having signed up by the end of march of 2014.

lou: what has been an effect of the failure and there's been on popular opinion. take a look at these results from the fox news poll out today. 55% of voters wish the health care law had ever been passed. 64% of voters don't believe that the law were passed if we knew back in 2009 what we know today. 56% say obamacare is more about the government controlling our lives than about helping individual americans get the health care that they want and need. we are guessing that the white house was grateful to dave for what turned out to be a snow day. including the changes for obamacare, congress, he says, passed the law and the president signed it, acting and decides to amend it. multiple times. the best thing now would be

declaring his actions constitutional and go shoot some hoops. john talked about mayor bill de blasio. so far he is a complete disaster, cronyism and can't bear the snow and he is late for everything. he is as advertised. a mess. and tweeted on the gop this year, if they do not unite and win, then swallowing another debt increase comes another inedible meal. let us hear from you. send me an e-mail at loudobbs.com. follow us on twitter and go to our facebook page as well. if your comment is red, you reeeive a copy of my new book up evil. lou: the president is under water on almost every issue in every poll. what is going through his mind

now our favorite psychotherapist doctor robbie ludvig is here next.

lou: 263 days until the midterm elections. the obama administration trying to put a positive spin on the obamacare disaster. joining us now is john fund. good to have you both here. >> to be very clear i think they only have one strategy. if i was running, i was focused on other things.

there are 42 americans that don't have coverage that can finally afford it. 42 million americans. lou: lou: john fund, the idea of this that we are looking at they are accused of shutting down the government wanting to. do the republicans over the democrats in the house a debt? >> well, clearly if the democrats have gone back to congress after the first surfaced and said we will work with you and fix them, i think the republicans would've had their thunderstorm from them.

there would be an uproar. lou: the president has said to the american people that he is going to go around and i can't find an instance in history where a president has said that they would defy the form of government for his own purpose. >> the only wanted it was

richard nixon. 55% said we could put up that fox poll. and i take your point about this engagement on the issue. republicans just got very lucky. it doesn't sell politically. the soundbites don't work for that. what they can do come and the one thing the democrats can do is harp on some of these other structural distinctions and how

they have a desire to see you minimum wage go out. including the unemployment benefits. these resonate with the middle middle america and i think that it's an opportunity for the republicans to not do that. to come to the table and have a type of solution and we all want to see them do better. lou: we don't see any evidence resonating on the minimal wage in this country. looks like it's being reimbursed. there seems to be a lot of noise about the minimum wage. i have seen it recently and it's about 2 million people. we even have the spectacle of the labor secretary tom perez telling reporters that republicans have a few hundred thousand for the new executive order by the president, his fiat on minimum wage would suggest that this is less than 20% of

the people use it to support a family. the vast majority are those supplementing their income while they live at home or the older people that are supplementing their social security. i'm not saying the minimum wage is something that people can live on. it's something that very few people have to live on and regards to family. >> i truly believe that we should raise the minimum wage and i have no problem with that

and it didn't seem to have much pull fresh clever ideas. are we going to expect much new from this campaign? are we going to see republicans talk more about this? the senate and the house have both come out with different bills to try to transcend to overcome obamacare and it has been a long-time coming and i hope that we have a debate about how to fix our health care system. lou: it sounds like it may be

left wide open on the issue. >> certainly. i think they have to speak about inclusion if they want to gain traction with the middle class. but for either party they are really going to connect with middle america. they have to talk about job creation. lou: i think that most think that they are in the pockets of the elite. after this they discovered that she has been indicted for stealing from her last employer, a nonprofit organization. kristen mcclure racing a trial on theft and fraud. you'll be you will be relieved to know that she still collected 100 30,000 a year salary. extending trouble in five other

lou: nearly half of all illegal immigrants facing deportation are winning their cases before immigration judges. the administration immigration policies are to blame. surely not. the obama administration are waiting for immigration pieces as it shifts presents to presence of the dreamers.

over 250,000 illegal immigrants have received residency permits as part of the 2012 deferred action program. leading to more than 500,000 americans and the wait time for those resident visas are soaring. it should be as quick as that. manhattan sr. fellow heather macdonald joins us. why should that be a part of this? >> the possession is a part of this and they have lobbyists behind illegal immigrants are waiting patiently to come into the country and they don't have the same political clout and

lows in tandem for the last decade or so is a constant immigration enforcement. it is unfair to people who came here knowingly and voluntarily to enforce them. >> i can think of no other issue where the left and the right me combine forces with such power. and the political messages in both parties on this issue. it is striking. and i truly believe that the amnesty advocate.but they had this one in the bag this year until the house republican party took leadership of the issue. what do you think? >> the left and the right can be cracked that legalizing llegal aliens is good for their side. one side is wrong in this question. and i would say probably the right is wrong and their belief

that low skilled hispanic illegal aliens are republicans waiting to happen and i take that the establishment that is pushing this idea is walking into a trap. i realize that time of unemployment you are hurting low skilled americans by wanting to bring in and the compromises we have been given do not sufficiently move our immigration systems with high skilled workers. >> does it frustrate you that we are not hearing a discussion of the immigration system is broken? we occasionally tell people how many million we bring into this country lawfully and the number is 25 million people a year in one form or another.

over three quarters of a million, that became a natural part of it. three times the number of hem coming into the european union to candidates to china. and how do you combat the ignorance about these issues because the national media will not take up the facts because if they do they lose amnesty. >> i would like to take people on fact-finding tours in the pico rivera section of los angeles and showed him the schools. and the fact of the matter is that they are not passing on social capital to their kids to succeed and taxpayers are paying

for that. and they now say that the kids are falling so far behind. lou: we will continue the conversation. thank you. and thank you for your information on the issue. heather macdonald from the manhattan institute. president obama said that he can ask america. doctor robi ludwig with her psychotherapy a available to the president free of charge. this is the quicksilver ca back card from capital one. it's not the "juggle a bunch of rotating categories" card. it's not the "sign up for rewards each quarter" rd. it's the no-games, no-messing-'round, no-earning-limitaving, do-i-look-like-i'm-joking, turbo-boosting, heavyweight-champion- of-the-world sh bk card. thiss the quicksilver cash back rd

>> the president called for a unilateral change to action. executive orders hiking the minimum wage and my next guest says the president -- his approaches is going through congress and the american people. >> thank you for having me. >> there is a particularly vulnerable one. >> probably all narcissists are vulnerable and away. because they want to pump up their egos and feel good about themselves. so must they have people around them, they often feel like they don't exist.

>> he is diving to the george w. bush levels of popularity. and george bush -- i mean, what is the impact of this man? >> i think that this is contributing to obama's relationship with congress. the way that i see it is obama says that i want to be known for something positive. and he knows it, everybody knows it, the people know it. you can't go anywhere without people complaining about it. but enough that this is for him. lou: is there any way to rationalize his performance is accessible? what would be the success that he would point to on this? >> i think that what they might be saying is if i had congress working with me and not presenting so many hurdles, then

i be able to get across my vision. >> i don't know if he considers himself a successful president. i think that he feels castrated on some levels and quite insidious. >> is that some kind of thing going on? >> you can feel that way emotionally. you can feel castrated emotionally and you can feel like this emotionally. and i do believe that obama struggles with some of those feelings. it's to say that, you know what? i'm just going to use this and take matters into my own hands and i'm going to make sure that before i leave the president does as well. >> the odds of taking that

approach where he doesn't have the founders taking this in place, that is the congress and the judiciary committee. does he not become even more likely to be an even greater failure than find a path to success? >> i think that that makes him look less presidential, if you well. and if you don't do that, you're basically saying that i can't do it. i'm not the problem. >> thank you for the insight. lou: that is there for us tonight. don't forget to pick up a copy of my new book upheaval
