of that if government would just get out of our way. that is the show for tonight see you next week. ♪ >> good evening. president obama facing a firestorm of criticism;i 8 for breaking the law trading five taliban terrorists detainee's at guantanamo bay for the sergeant with the president incest he will not be making any apologies. here he is in brussels today. >> we had a prisoner of war whose health has deteriorated and we were deeply concerned about it we saw an opportunity and seized it and i make no apologies for that.

presidency saying she would never stop making apologies remember those days? bellies for previous presidents in the nation carias of talking with the arab television in 2009. >> but to the muslim world i need to communicate the americans are not your enemy. sometimes we make mistakes. we are nonprofit. lou: it is clear the president pro claus specifically to release from the guantanamo then told all of those agencies that he commands as president what are the consequences of his contract? over the past 24 hours alone secret documents obtainedya1p-y fox news shows during his five years in captivity sergeant bergdahl net 1.converted to islam

fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a warrior for islam. according to eyewitness accounts bergdahl was so except among his captors that he was allowed to carry a gun. in those years to emboldened the taliban are now a reality. the commander tells time magazine today'' mac it is better to kidnap a person like sergeant bergdahl did hundreds of uses people it is encouraging our people not everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird. we will check up these events and issues also tonight shocking new evidence of massive humanitarian crisis hatter southern border created by obama: which having courage him and

thousands of children to flee central america to cross into the united states we will talk with the investigative journalist to were among the first report the crisis and some much needed good news on this economy. a new report finds record-breaking well for american households. part laugher on what needs to be done to keep going forward to restore prosperity for the middle-class and those who aspire. my first guest says the efforts to spend -- used in the sergeant bergdahl deal is a total disregard for the military. we have a retired colonel and analyst here. by a president who will not apologize for what is already steven as a breach of law to prevent exactly

this from happening?xd gimmick thank you for having me on the show. one cannot help but wonder if the president will be apologetic with soldiers or sailors or marines are americans are taken hostage or captive not only the haqqani network of other groups around the world and expect themselves to have a great deal negotiated with his administration or whenever follows. the president has set a terrible precedent for what he has just done. i was around in the iran-contra days i watched the hostage staff than the standard robustious he dealt negotiate with terrorists or give up hostages.

the american public an hour allies will pay consequences for these actions. lou: and united states militqw of this i would say is concerning because of statements that are frankly hard to explain when we look back three years to an article of rolling stone to see a very correctf?tv of sergeant -- sergeant bergdahl and his situation at that time three years ago , two years after captivity's. >> it is the unfortunate truth to stay in a position of rank or any hope to be promoted me in the tank with the white house and toe the line. that takes away the credibility all that we grew up with as of military man

in knowing that integrity and principal is what you want to exhibit as a military officer or leader but that is out the window with this administration. to get ahead to what the white house expects no creative thinking it does not matter what the facts behind you may be but just pick a story that saddles up with what the white house says. lou: and it says a lot with this administration has said to this point with no apologies citing a sergeant bergdahl is a questionable statement if not even supportable. leon panetta to his credit said straightforward if we have the full screen, like to share interco -- it. >> i said wait. i have an obligation under

the law. device and prisoners from guantanamo they have to guarantee they don't go back to the battlefield. i have serious serious reservations and concerns. >> behind closed doors there is a lot of people in the pentagon right now have very serious reservations what was done but of course, none of them as the deal went down. you may get one story leon panetta and no longer serves the administration says when he thinks but other people wish they could do the same but they don't want to be fired as others have been since the white house came into power. they have to toe the line and all that evidence in the reports are out there and if the white house doesn't like what is being said they will

put a spin on it up to including with all these men who have served with sergeant bergdahl had. lou: the colonel is referring to the tweets sendoff from the white house actually questioning the integrity of some of the young man who served with bergdahl but they have since recanted to the extent of apologizing but it is a despicable temples to see that expressed by this white house or anyone in its. always good to see you. the interestingly one of those people the colonel was referring to was vice president joe biden. he did not come to his defense as you might have noticed and here is the reason perhaps why. telling reuters that vice

president joe biden was neutral of the idea of a prisoner exchange, biting his tongue at least this hour and maintaining his silence on the issue. up next to a humanitarian crisis on our southern border children trying to make an illegal crossing into!n america at the urging of the parents at the urging of the mexican government an hour government says not a word to the mexican government nor to our forces on the border. the situation expose. there journalist importer expert who brought us the story are here next. wondering what that is? that, my friends, is everything. and with the quicksilver card from capital one,

lou: the pictures you're looking at, on your screen, visual evidence of the massive humanitarian crisis that is building at our country's southern border. the department of homeland security estimating that 60,000 children under the age of 12 years old will be trying to cross the border without their parents this year. it is not an accident that this many children at this time are moving to our southern border. they predict the number of children will double next year to 120,000. the same department of homeland security today giving even more illegal immigrant children and others, to make that dangerous trek through the sands of northern mexico across our border. secretary jay johnson winnowing president obama's non-deportation policy for

so-called dreamers for two more years. homeland security, already overrun with so many illegal children, a legal immigrant children that they are forced to put them in sometimes unhygienic facilities from texas to san diego. the border patrol council and border patrol union, in san diego, preparing to release as many as 500 illegal immigrants each week into the country. humanitarian agencies investigating why these countries are shipping these children to our border. we decided to reach out to you for some answers. the answers are truly pitiful. their response is thank you for reaching out to us, i'm sorry we cannot help you with this topic. the united nations high commissioner for refugees did

initiate an investigation. are you ready for the conclusion. that report included the children from el salvador and guatemala and hnduras face drug cartels, human traffickers, and sometimes members of their families and their own homes. but the high commissioner dismissed any responsibility to deal with the victims of the brutality of the drug cartels and gangs and denied that corruption in those countries, including government corruption was a significant role in creating this crisis of children dumped on our southern border. the commissioner had this to say. the persecution experienced by the children is not usually state-sponsored, so condemning these countries is not needed. so could we go back to that just for a moment. i'd like to do that one more

time. the persecution experienced by the children is not usually state-sponsored, so condemning these countries is not needed. and i say the high commissioner is higher than anyone might reasonably have expected. joining us now include the photos taken. sylvia longmire, he breitbart contributing editor and the author of the book, order and security. thank you both for being with us. sylvia, let e turn to the photos in the pictures. why are they not being seen seen by millions of americans in this country? >> ihink fortunately putting these photos on display, we are

taking a tab in the right direction. we have not better prepared, seen this coming and prepare for this crisis to make sure that they don't come in the first place, that we understand what the conditions are an established order security strategy to prevent this from happing in the first place. and also not to have a reactive strategy or an emergency strategy in place for dealing withhis influx of people to make sure that they are not just overwhelmed for border patrol. >> they are clearly overwhelmed right now. these pictures were not taken by a photojournalist, but released by someone who is in law enforcement along the border. >> yes, i would call this person a whistleblower within the border patrol is something those

images and verify that they were authentic. and wanted to get the word out about not only the conditions of people within the facilities, but also how overwhelmed the border patrol is, those who are out there now and many of them inside of the facilities leaving the border wide open in some places. lou: as i understand it right now from immigration and customs enforcement and border patrol agents, they have been hold back and are being hed back from aggressively enforcing immigration laws and voicing border security. so what do you know? >> well, as far as being pulled back, i'm not entirely sure if that's completely accute. but i know there has been a lot of controversy, particularly that over border shootings and a revision over the policy of how

agents respond in any kind of arms confrontation of smugglers who are driving in vehicles. and i think that even though there are some concerns about how agents are handling the situations, we also have the worry if agents are going to sit there and overthink every situation or are they just going to, you know, not react properly that the way that they should. possibly endanger themselves more than necessary. >> okay, i have to stop. you're basically you are basically asking the question, can we protect our border patrol agents from their own incompetent selves. do you mean to be sayi that? >> if you do, i just want you to understand what you're saying. because i don't -- in regard to border patrol, it seems that there are a bunch of agents that you're saying our hapless.

>> at breitbart we have been a consistent voice for the men and women of the border patrol. oftentimes just like the border patrol union, the national border patrol you counc has reported to us multiple times that there is a huge division between the political point of leadership and the border patrol. and the actual men and women serving on the ground out there on the field. until oftentimes what has happened, the border patrol council reports to us, we have covered this extensively. lou: if you guys say this one more time, i'm going to have to keep count. [applause] >> we are delighted that you want to do that. but i would like you to just give me an answ. lou: we have spent a lot of time on the border. they are concerned about our border patrol, those agents in

those conditions for those children and why they are thee. do you know what why those children are there in those conditions? sylvia? >> absolutely, their parents are afraid for them. they want to provide better educational opportunities and the better life. in places like congress to have the gangs and recruiting children as younas seven, eight, nine years old. in some cases -- >> it seems that it's permeating our society. 250 cities in this country. >> we have a situation where -- where they are being threatened with death. and if that was happening to our children here in the united states in a certain city and your child or family was going to be killed by a gang of your child and go and join -- lou: what i asked was how do those children into the border

so how do they get caught? >> by the drug cartels, with coyotes. lou: okay, that is many of the children. your thoughts ase wrap up here? what are we looking at here, is this an orchestrated effort to overwhelmed the border patrol borders themselves? >> i do believe it is. i believe that some people are exploiting this. they are doing this from a position of need. i think a lot of them are the ones that traffic these children end their overwhelming the border patrol so they can continue this in the united states and across the united states. lou: we appreciate you being

with us and documenting the hardship and frankly the jeopardy that these children are in. as well as the assaults on our borders. it's certainly an interesting agenda. one that isn't necessarily sensible for these children were this country. we thank you both. see i think you. lou: it is time for a look at our online poll. we asked chuck hagel, did he die to rescue sergeant bergdahl? you believe that? 95% said no. and as president obama driving the migration of illegal immigrant children across our southern borders? cast your vote at loudobbs.com because we would love to hear from you. coming up next, my commentary with a predictable reaction. the white house scandal coming the white house scandal coming up

my name is jenny, and i quitmoking with chantix. the white house scandal coming up before chantix, i tried to quit... probably about five times. it was different than the other times i tried to quit. along with support, chanti(varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. that helped me quit smoking. some people had changes in behior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could

get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as so can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. my quit date was my son's birthday. and that was my gift for him and me. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

jamie, you've got a little something on the back of your shoe, there. [alarm beeping] price tag. danger: price tag alert. oh, hey, guys. price tag alert. is this normal? well, progressive's a price tag free zone. we let you tell us what you want to pay, and we help you find options to fit your budget. where are they taking him? i don't know. this seems excessive! decontamination's in progress. i don't want to tell you guys your job, but... policies without the price tags. now, that's progressive. lou: moments ago, a brand-new economic report.

a record high, we will be talking with a former reagan economist art laffer. and defense secretary liam fox gives us the new look at his new book rising tide, his analysis as to how the information age is providing steep chalenges for global leaders. and the president says he will not apologize for the bergdahl terrorist exchange. and few people expected them to. the president, it seems, prefers to apologize for previous presidents, and for america. certainly before it was obama lead. we a becoming very familiar with the obama white house manual on handling dental and controversy. step one, deny there is a scandal. here is the president's response when asked if he was surprised by the controversy over the administration's deal to free sergeant bergdahl. >> i am never surprised by controversies better with that in washington.

that is par for the course. >> par for the course, and it seems that he spent a lot of time on the course. and if at all possible, insinuating this into the discussion and playing the race card strata. a politico report providing an example. all of this, they say, is in their minds for the hatred for the president. the new approach is another example of republicans complaining about something just because of this. that is deeply within the lexicon. a sharp dog whistle, they play it almost every opportunity. step three, the obama scandal

recommends that all principles say they learn about the scandal whether it through news reports or the media. unfortunately for the white house, there have been so many scandals now but the sheer number of times they have been in one within the administration that is noticeably pure nonsense. even their own supporters can't stomach many more efforts claiming ignorance of just about everything that has happened in the administration. and i believe the american people no longer require any proof that president obama has acted in ignorance. i believe that the president has managed to build a national consensus on that issue at least. but now i would like to share with you the location of the evening. the sentiment that i love. it's power and strength and hope. this from booker t. washington,

if you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. wonderful words. we are coming right baack. >> technology is shrinking the world and national ecurity threats for world leaders. liam fox and his new book, ring tides coming up

lou: morgan freeman calling the tea party and rush limbaugh races in 2011. but here he is on another network making a lot of sense. >> do you think that race plays a part in this? >> no, i do not.

>> what would race havenything to do with it? stick with what you want to go for it and stick with that. it's kind of like the legend to me. it's a good excuse for not getting there. lou: joining us now is a contributing writer. it i good to have you with us on the broadcast. judith miller, wrapping up a new book that we are waiting for. your reaction to morgan freeman. >> i love him, i think he's wrong on this point though. because i think that there's plenty of data. showing that outcomes for people of color are different if you were born in a certain zip code. that determines how successful you can be. and how unfair is that in this countrwhere hard work should pay off. >> so you think outcome should be equal?

>> yes. you should have opportunity if you put in the same amount of work and. >> i could and should be all day to ebony magazine and not be as good as you. should i make the same amount of money? >> if you are doing the same work, yes, you should. >> what are your thoughts are. >> i think we are talking about equal opportunity. until this gap eliminated between races, i think that morgan freeman is one of the gifted actors that i know. lou: what about the other? i think he is exactly right, this country, it can be a terrible thing. >> you had your shot, i'm going to take mine. my view is that this country is,

well, 60 years further along. and we need to take note of it. the platitudes in the cotruct of language about race and the outcomes. they constitute, to me, a revisionism that is unacceptable to let me tell you the sty. my mother is not six years old and went to segregated elementary. that is my mother. so when you say that we are 60 years, not something a long time. the one i'm talking about my mother, who's not even six years old, just retired, went to elementary school in the north, north, i think we really have to take accountability to the reality of the history of the country and the fact that the opportunity is not there for everyone. so it's an ongoing struggle. it's not something from the past. and it should be everyone's struggle. lou: that is your view.

lou: if i may, i was there in the 60s. >> i read the book too. lou: so you can dismiss my history, but i can't dismiss yours? >> no, no, no -- it is my experience. lou: and how long was that experience? >> 32 years. lou: so it's half as good as your mother's? >> maybe we should talk with your mother. >> sure. lou: that might be more awesome in perspective. turning to the president, not apologizing. >> i think that the president is the chief of the country and the military and it's his job to make sure that people come home no matter what. >> we bring them back and then he faces this. >> he's doing well, he covers

his eyes and ears, ignores the law that was written specifically to prohibit this outcome. >> no, no, no. it is not illegal. no, no -- i went to law school, i understand. >> he has the authority. >> unilaterally? so the law that is written by congress to prohibit exactly this outcome? >> he simply did not give them the notifications. >> who knew about this? when dianne feinstein, when she is the head of the senate intelligence committee. excuse me, let someone else talk. when she was told the details of the osama bin laden raid, she was not given aavance notice. >> like i just said they walked

out of the briefing. so i really have a that this is part of it. and they knew months in advance of this negotiation was taking place. >> you get the last word. >> i think there are many questions about this. why the president did what he did. but one thing is pretty clear. what he has done has not gone over well with the american people what susan rice talked about as describing his service, the american people want some truth. >> for the second time in a moment of national concern

misrepresented the truth. thank you both for being here. come back, bring your mother, i want to hear her perspectives as well. >> you are a lawyer and i treasure lawyers, i really do. >> i can understand sarcasm. >> i would love to have you back and her mother. i'm being very incere. thank you so much, both of you. and a reminder to vote in tonight's online poll. do you believe president obama is driving the migration of immigrant children across our border. give us your response comes we are coming right back. >> stockmarkets at record highs. and the job picture is improving

lou: we are back. america's network climbing to record levels. i hope you can feel the love. household wealth hitting 81.8 final is in the worst quarter. largely because of prices and believe it or not, higher stock prices as well. herewith the outlook for this economy y is art laffer. a former member of the economic advisory board. author of the nature and causes of the wealth of states. >> thank you so much. i watch your last segment. i don't know how you do it at

times. >> i think we have to find out what is it in this case of art laffer? >> the whole conversation, i've got morgan freeman's quote, which is very beautiful and nice. but the question is how do you rectify it. you do it by the way obama does creating the unemployment rates? large disparities among black and whites? or with economic growth? including far better opportunities and chances for people to better themselves. so it's really the solution, not this argument over whether there is or is not racism. if there is come the question is how to solve it not by beating people up, but by creating opportunities. >> i think the reality here is that we have t acknowledgestoryr

$8 billion spent for the war it on poverty. we have a history of affirmative action, we have pushed the cotry along whether it works or doesn't work. the experiment has not resolved the problem that we sent out to solve. so as he suggests, jesse jackson and i talked about this and he and i agreed on one thing. a rising tide lifts all votes. this president will not listen jesse jackson or other leaders. it's extraordinary to me. >> i wrote something about this a while ago. creating tax-free zones and the most poverty-stricken areas, giving them the advantage of economic growth and prosperity

that will really do a rising tide. i testify before the civil rights commission on all of this. once they understand it becomes clear that that is the answer. kennedy understood it, reagan understood that, and most of all we understand it. >> you are right. lou: what does this president understands our are differences in our business leaders, over $2 trillion on offshore account in perfectly legal accounts. but we need to bring it home and we need to get invested in we need to incentivize business to do so, but we need at the same time to make it clear that this is going to be about creating jobs. so we don't have that comprehension with either party. >> that is for sure. the reason why is that they bring it home and will pay a

huge tax on it. so why would you ever want to have that so high that they don't ring the money home? is another example of counterproductive government policies. even though they know it's true, they still n't change it. obama hasn't really gone for a much lower corporate tax, which he could easily get past. bringing all of that money home. but he just won't do it any wonder the pipeline either. lou: you have to be thrilled about the minimum wage, right amax. >> i used to guarantee that it's st atrocious. >> it's not only minimum wage of these direct dealers in the stock market going on. people are anticipating a big change coming this november.

>> 83, 84, 300,000 new jobs a month and they have a much larger population. doesn't that just say it all? >> yes, the new normal under this president, promising radical transformation has achieved at least one element of it. take you so much. >> thank you. lou: up next, rising tide, how technology is making the world change faster than anyone could have imagined or how we struggle for global leaders. liam fox is coming up

lou: now from our word of the evening, two words and a bogus phrase. the term unintended consequences unintended consequences. our next guest focusing on the impact of unintended consequens joining us now to discuss his new book, rising tide, secretary of state liam fox. great to have you with us. >> it's great to be here. >> congratulations on the book as you look out over what is happening in this world. nothing is working despite all of the technology and the people that go to washington. why is there such a calamity as a result? >> i think the structures of government don't fit the way we

work today. in one of the things i wanted to explore is how you cannot disaggregate this in e way that politicians pertain to this. we need to think about the interaction of commodity competition and financial imbalances in trying to see them e more holistic way. >> is there any government that recognizes that reality we are suggestingthat it may be unmatchable. >> i think any of them have a governmental structure. but i think a lot of them are thinking about it when it comes to bob gates and others.

we really saw this process going. and so we need to explore some of the aptitudes. >> 70% of the people, 47%. >> this is one of the first statistics that was suggested. >> it's astonishing because you think tibet and china are about the dalai lama. >> are you optimistic about our future? >> oh, yes, i still think it's worth getting out of bed for in the morning. >> rising tide, at a bookstore near you.
