negative. give or take about 50%. have a good night. ♪ ♪ lou: evening, everyone. there is competition between president obama and vladimir putin. it is utter silence. from the white house tonight despite reports that russian troops have been in crimea. one was killed the other hospitalized, after bursts of automatic gunfire were detailed by reporters at that base.

giving him authorization to pull back and fallback. all of this taking place since they don't believe those who try to frighten them after crimea. we do not want to partition the ukraine.

the white house declares that they will not recognize the annexation of crimea. here is the president's spokesman jay carney. >> we condemn russia's moves to formally annexed the crimean region of ukraine. such action is a threat to international peace and security and against international law. we would not recognize this attempted annexation. i would not fire you. i would not invest in russian equities right now unless you're going short. lou: vladimir putin undeterred by sanctions. or the administration's combination of his moves. glad american participated in the signing ceremony saying that crimea is now officially part of the russian federation and unlike the united states the

european nations have the most to lose in this encounter and largely remaining silent for a crisis. managing to preserve their dignity is not their interest. and it will be interesting to see what lessons the obama administration strategist take among european allies. trunnion outs k.t. mcfarland and fox news middle eastern analyst who has just released a new book entitled u.s. policy in the middle east and catastrophes to avoid. it's so great to have you both here with us while we congratulate you on your book and among the catastrophes that you might have imagined as he wrote that book. i can't imagine, if you will that the united states preferring as vladimir putin sent his troops to crimea and annexed it within a matter of weeks.

>> [inaudible] the iranian regime so we have an actual deal. the russians saw our reaction in the middle east and it was projectable in the case that there was no decision in washington to counter the russian design and that's why they actually moved. lou: what demands of the sermons is remarkable. he ignored all that the administration was saying throughout and he is now saying welcome to the russian federation.

this deal is done. the crisis is over. glad american has won enough. >> yes. but it could not have been perceived. six years ago he wrote his doctoral dissertation. he said he was going to rebuild the military and great russia and then i want to start looking at rebuilding the territorial ability of russia. two weeks ago he said i'm not going to enact crimea. what is next? i think eastern ukraine or modell. if no one stops up, i think he's looking at nato. lou: if they have done that already without are making much of it. because nato did not move here. leaders of germany and france

and the united states. standing like impotent and indifferent towards and world in which what american is without question the most focus and directed. >> specifically with regard to the russians what san diego and more folk art to us. but if katie mcclellan has said, we can't look at the foolishness of ukraine. any place where you have russian minorities, we need to look at the leadership. but at the same time the west doesn't always go where they should go. we should be decisive promoting

western ukraine into nato. we are not doing it. lou: be barely run ourselves, it seems, at least in foreign policy terms. there aren't any options that i can be available for this president to blunt the ambitions were to halt the ambitions of vladimir putin, no matter if it is lithuania or the smaller states or ethnic minorities smack we are not going to scramble the jets were sent in tanks over this. however there's an economic option of you not using. and that is the will and natural gas options. to say that this is what we are going to do. >> here is the central issue. and i'd like to get a quick view from both of you and then we have to move on. but there is no long-term care.

there is no time to build up assets for economic or military. vladimir putin has military force and the will to use it and he is moving in the case of the crimea in two weeks. it was actually done in a matter of hours. that could be replicated throughout eastern europe. so let's talk real politics and power. there's not a bloody thing that the united states or europe can do to stop this man right now. >> no, there's not. on crimea and we're already late. we need to be there with them and their other places that we should've done because of the russians. lou: i'm not talking about what

we should have done, the mistakes we have made respectively. the real politics taking the scales and talking to forthrightly about the trip we have seen and we can do about it whether we are in europe or the united states. >> we should be there. second, syria, we should ringdown that agreement in iran is getting cash from us and they have to stop that. these are allies of the russian leadership. so if you want to put real pressure on their coming have to begin there. spoon the french are building aircraft carriers for them. i haven't heard the president say what about that. we have not had a single à ally in europe right now. say not here, not at all. >> that is part of the problem. leadership is in there. as far as the ability to deal

with that, no, we don't have that. he won he will be back in just a little while on this broadcast. thank you both for now. we will see you later. as i said last week, everyone loves a mystery. the mystery of the malaysian flight 370. all of that and more, frustrating indeed. it's clear there has been a campaign of disinformation, misinformation, and no information at all as investigators search for the worse evidence of that flight that had been scheduled to beijing 11 days ago. fox news intelligence correspondent catherine herridge has the latest on the investigation.

>> the faa is engaged in the second intense review. twenty in on the search in the 11 day. investigators are the assessing the trajectory of the aircraft in what is known about it once transponder went dark 40 minutes into the fly. flight. investigators are also measuring how far can travel without power. with a the pilot and copilot under scrutiny, the source said there is no evidence so far that the jet crashed, some saying that it may be on the runway but no conclusions are final. the malaysian media is reporting the half-dozen remote landing strips were found on the simulator recovered near lockport. the programs into the simulator are sent to retrieve ships from

sri lanka and the. freezing a suggestion that it could be on u.s. territory was dismissed outright. >> some reports say that the missing flight that landed on u.s. aids in the center of the indian ocean. >> i will rule that one out. reporter: a "new york times" report was tried to be downplayed in another possible indicator that the jet was rejected by the pilot or by one or more individuals with flying experience. [inaudible] >> it could be speculation. >> in washington, the homeland security emphasis was with police and authorities that said

it is in the lead and it's not altering security in the u.s. >> it requires domestic flights in so far as flights into the united states are concerned. >> more than 2 million square miles, that is the size of an area of australia. one said it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. lou: catherine herridge, doing an outstanding job in the disappearance of flight 370. and stocks posting gains on wall street for a second straight session. the dow jones up 39 points. the nasdaq gaining 53. crude oil rose $1.62. just below $100 per barrel. and the yield on the ten-year bonds dropping to 6.8%. housing is down for a third

season. of nearly 8% in february. and general motors announcing a new vehicle safety position following the carmaker's recall of more than 3 million of its vehicles. apple is in a bid to compete with google's endpoint system, unveiling a cheaper version of the iphone in five countries. android climbing to 79% last year and expecting to raise nearly $15 billion for the chinese multiple platform equivalent of google. amazon, ebay, alibaba. ideas have been listed as here

in the united states. no date has been set for alibaba. we're coming right back with much, much more. stay with us. lou: the obama administration is trying to stir young people to get them to sign up for obamacare. is it working? juan williams and john fund join us on a painful campaign. the gunderman group is a go.

yes! not just a start up. an upstart. gotta get going. gotta be good. good? good. growth is the goal. how do we do that? i talked to ups. they'll help us out. new technology. smart advice. we focus on the business and they take care of the logistics. ups? good going. we get good. that's great. great. great. great. great. great. great. great. great. (all) great! i love logistics.

lou: obamacare in the spotlight. 230 days until the midterms. reince priebus following the signature law. predicting, as he put it, a tsunami type election that is better than a wave election. joining us now is john fund. political analyst juan williams.

thank you both for being here today. a tsunami? that must have the democrats shaking in their boots? of the powerful forecast. >> no, i think it is a high bar for reince priebus. given what happened in the 2010 elections when the republicans did have a historic number of seats captured in the house. he says that they can get d+ this time around, i don't think anyone thinks. i think there are too many feeds that are settled that could be designated as swing states. i think the republicans are favored going into the fall and their questions about whether or not they can get the in order to capture a senate majority. lou: the democrats, everything that i've looked out and have been told by those who know, is that things are looking good for the republicans.

>> 57% of voters in the last poll said they are still in a recession despite what the economist say. the 26% think it will be better a year from now. those are disastrous numbers for the party in power. soon they get all the blame, but at the same time the republicans are going to have more to talk about here than obamacare. >> well, i hope they talk about jobs and the middle-class and yet to be seen. but they are starting to form an alternative to obamacare across state lines. small business, what people can join. it's starting to gel and they have to do much more. lou: with how can the democrats follow? i realize that this is not a national election. it's just a district and state by state. but what in the world is their defense on obamacare.

what is their defense on the foreign foreign-policy that this president has articulated and implemented, whether he agree what disagree. >> is a constant appeal of the efforts by republicans that strike people as discordant and they sort of sour tone and end your democrat say,that. listen, this is a landmark achievement, people who previously didn't have insurance now have the opportunity to get covered. people with pre-existing conditions including interest and insurance now. you start talking about the kids. you start talking about the people who are now a million plus on medicaid. that's a positive and can-do spirit that the democratic

consultants advising their candidates to take. lou: in theory he is right. the study cannot but there is supposedly 20 million americans without insurance and formally have signed up for insurance, but only 400,000 of those were previously uninsured. so the uninsured can't buy it and lots of them have more victims than winners and then you're going to lose an election. soon right now, what is the president's response? as usual we are having trouble with time. i'm trying to understand what the president is going to do here with vladimir putin and with russia and its obvious ambitions. frankly i think we all have to be very honest with the united states looks very weak and considered and foreign policy right now and the european union looks worse. >> good point.

>> if you think about the military strength that the u.s. possesses, we are far stronger than the russians. and with the germans now coming over to our side in terms of increasing willingness to play on cover sanctions, there's the potential there for work and online. spoon the wind that the president has to draw, france has just built two helicopter carriers for russia. these are the same carriers are going to be carrying commander troops for the next target. they are the first people as the french turn over those carriers to the russians. we let them do that, this president is beyond if he per tiger. he is a shredded paper tiger. some thank you sir. >> to welcome the one we're

coming right back. stay with us because there's much more ahead. lou: once used, coffee, bacon. how high will the cost of the supermarket though? we will have a four port. means advanced technology. we learned that technology allows us to be craft oriented. no one's losing their job. there's no beer robot that has suddenly chased them out. the technology is actually creating new jobs. siemens designed and built the right tools and resources to get the job done.
