children to the borders, 115 custom sam border protection agency and on top of that adding to the 20,000 border patrol agents see he proposes to add 150 more agents. that should solve the crisis and the secretary tries to claim it is his policy driving the crisis. >>. >> the principal thieving is the factor the condition vinton honduras are horrible >> republicans quickly pushed back. >> i would say unfortunately central america has a long history of bad economies and violence and both of these

are as bad as they have never been this humanitarian crisis can be laid at the feet to the president obama with his policy in 2012. lou: so far this year 60,000 unaccompanied children have crossed into the united states from mexico most originating from central america. those from mexico were quickly return but those from guatemala and honduras are released into the u.s. with the order to report to enforcement within the 15 days for coated registration will say -- a lot say how many have followed those recorders but it is relatively few based on typical averages and of course, the administration understands that. congress trying to decide on

a massive scandal that were since by the day. the latest development area report that finds more than 1,000 of our veterans may have died over the past decade as a result of the culture of mismanagement at the veterans administration and the taxpayers on the hook for nearly $1 billion at a house hearing last night a heated exchange between one v.a. administrator to try to defend his department. >> i use the v.a. system greatly. it is a good system. >> is not a good system. how could you say that? really? >> yes. i do. >> and a new vessel -- a whistle-blower at the hospital in phoenix has come forward last night with

allegations that 40 veterans died while waiting for care are likely incorrect saying instead it is almost certain the much higher. the whistle-blower was the scheduler to sail the seven cases someone above her altered the records to make it appear they were still alive and some of the changes of the files took place over just the past few weeks. americans overwhelmingly believe it is no accident lois lerner is emails were lost. more than three-quarters excuse me believe the missing emails were deliberately destroyed just 12 percent say it is accidental. now i am joined by former reagan political director and democratic strategist

>> republicans have the majority everytime democrats do something it is a violation of a law. >> bus stop pointing fingers at anyone in the treasury department or the white house is not responsible. lou: may i remind you that in the case of benghazi the justice department's buying on angeles, a "fast & furious", v.a. scandal, irs scandal, irs, the list goes on and on it is a compound it listed is hideous in every respect and the fact this administration will not speak honestly and openly to the congress and the american people. name one instance they have provided in answer. >> look at the history of the investigation with "fast & furious".

lou: i assume you will answer my question? you would not just ignored me? >> i cannot ignore zero -- you know, . >> has an american i worked in the white house but these are happening in the white house. i know this president likes to play golf but at the end of the day it is running amok and somebody better settle land. you have the v.a. for people are killed in the president ran around saying this is the best health care system now pc week after week american veterans dying not every taxpayer has to worry if their documents will be disclosed for political purposes. the justice department, told government does not function well and it is all bureaucrats? no guidance? i worked in the white house. i know. but it has a responsibility

to work with congress to get the facts out. it is a bipartisan in disgrace and the white house has to take responsibility. >> this has been going on for decades with the v.a. lou: surely you're not suggesting president obama is suggesting for anything more than the past five years that would not be fair >> we have to come together. i think what is happening if we look at the accusations made with the irs story. lou: we don't agree on much of anything.

this caught them by surprise and we should have been following these isis guys as they moved out of syria in the white house failed to do anything, the real blame, i expect that they will blame them. lame or not, it is all happening and now we have to think about what the ramifications it is.

>> most americans understand and the president's numbers will continue to follow we take any casualties over in iraq and there's always the possibility that we will. lou: is this a reversible sweep across western iraq? >> i think the iraqi army, once they are reconstituted into their gear on and guns together, they will be able to confront them. but it will be a pretty formidable enemy and i think that they will be more concerned about making sure they have the defenses inside baghdad. we will start seeing them respond with more suicide attacks and bombings here and there. and i think isis, the majority of which maybe open a year from now and maybe on back.
