10:00 pm
griping that part of the world. good night. fax, lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everyone. senior u.s. officials confirming to fox news that syria and iran have joined the ride in a rack. their governments are providing military assistance to would be a rack and shiite dominated government as obama since 300 u.s. military advisers into a rack and presumably, ultimately this fight. the iraqi prime minister rejecting the president's call for a new inclusive government. and he ignored the outside forces that look to determine iraq's futuregovernment
10:01 pm
formation is still urgent so that we can begin to make decisions necessary to protect iraq without outside forces moving to fill the vacuum. >> those forces are already engaged in combat against them. "the wall street journal" reports warplanes have struck targets, killing 50, injuring more than a hundred civilians while targeting strongholds in the area. employing more than a dozen officers who advised the iraqi
10:02 pm
army on intelligence and help mobilize 2000 militiamen from southern iraq. we will be talking with the pentagon official in officials here in moments about why this president would send 300 military advisers into a region that is rapidly deteriorating into an all-out sectarian war among enemies. and a big primary day for the republican party. thad cochran beating back a challenge from chris mcdaniel who has still to concede the election. >> as you know, there were literally dozens of this reported across the state. >> not our job to make together the sanctity of the vote that will be a paled.
10:03 pm
so we have to be absolutely certain that the republican primary was won by republican voters. lou: congressman james lankford back backing his own tea party and oklahoma to risk secure the republican nomination in this state. he will be joining us in moments and senator jeff sessions says the homeland security department is advertising amnesty abroad and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants in central america and mexico. >> the immigration reform legislation that is being considered in congress is for those in the earned path to citizenship, for those who have been in this country since 2011.
10:04 pm
>> senator sessions will be joining us exclusively this hour. and they capture the republican nomination for oklahoma's open senate seat. netting 57% of the vote despite a well-funded challenge and congressman lankford joins us tonight and now. a member of the house budget and oversight committee. congratulations on their victory. >> thank you very much. when you come to oklahoma, you have seven republicans, primary folks in that challenge and all of us in any state in america would've been listed as the conservative voice in a very conservative state.
10:05 pm
10:06 pm
10:07 pm
takes a very toxic president for what comes after that. >> i am sure that you are intimately familiar with a lawsuit brought by immigration customs enforcement agencies and they were really nothing outstanding. are you confident that you will have standing with the house of representatives and the leadership of the house? >> first things first, we are going to test it out. we believe that we are effected by that the same as all americans.
10:08 pm
and we understand that 600 of the unaccompanied children are being how us we heard from the governor today and she put it rather directly. >> they are taking care of all of this, incredibly expensive for us, but it is also a humanitarian crisis. 2.5 years ago when we did this deferred action, saying that he's not going to prosecute those underminer and this is
10:09 pm
10:10 pm
10:11 pm
because his hard drive crashed. gina mccarthy confirming the problem at a house oversight hearing today. >> having trouble getting the data off of it, trying to actually supplement that. >> we are increasingly get this information in different ways and taking a look at it. >> it is a very very efficient production. congressional investigators have been trying to understand this
10:12 pm
for the past year. but he's been in new zealand. the oversight committee chairman darrell issa says he's had enough of this stonewalling action is officials fail to have this occur in november. and the supreme court ruling the startup when it takes television programs from the airwaves and then sells them to subscribers to watch them on smart phones and tablets. it deals a potential fatal blow to those that charge customers as little as $8 per month.

risk for plaque buildup in your arteries over time. so, when diet and exercise aren't enough to lower cholesterol, adding crestor can help. i'm down with crestor! crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking. call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired; have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of rare but serious side effects. are you down with crestor!? ask your doctor if crestor could help you. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.
10:17 pm
is iranian and syrian forces have joined their find in defense of the government. joining us now, pentagon official and fox news analyst, k.t. mcfarland. so let me ask you, surely there is some way for me to say this another way. but are you kidding me? [laughter] >> we are sending military advisors work shoulder to shoulder with the syrians come of the government and bashar al-assad and with iran who is sponsoring terrorism and on the
10:18 pm
10:19 pm
of the permits required and really key up our efforts. as we are not going to be able to rely on this at any point. >> and vladimir putin has been in this as well. this is a peculiar time for so many reasons. >> i think heout that it's going to fall into his lap and about six or nine months. i was just in the ukraine and it's clear that the ukrainian government, as well-meaning as it is, they are fighting to find it occupied in the ukraine and the economy of it is in freefall.
10:20 pm
lou: especially when it comes to failing to even know, we now have words from various sources that the intelligence was there and the intelligence agencies were telling this national security advisor was to be on the watch for precisely this sense a year ago. >> they have been raising red flags and this includes the intelligence community, i think this administration has decided that at that, al qaeda is on the run, and no evidence that they have made this decision.
10:21 pm
and they decide to run have a little bit of military involvement in the middle east. so they better understand of the bad guys are coming and we have to be serious about protecting our border and developing our own energy sources. lou: it is time now for the online poll results, we asked of you believe the obama administration is the most likely corrupt in history. 96% said yes. 4% said no. but on our poll tonight. who poses the biggest threat to our military advisors is the question. the syrian army, the militia, or the ir ifio. the mother of a jailed marine says that she still hasn't heard a single word from the white house in this sergeant has been
10:22 pm
in the mexican prison for 86 days now. to the twist of some irony, the federal government said it would use the border patrol academy in new mexico to house hundreds of illegal immigrant children and families. that is right, training officers to keep illegal immigrants out of the country and i suspect that that is irony that is utterly intended by this administration. don't you? >> senator jeff sessions is an outspoken critic and he says we are watching the entire immigrations him unravel before our very eyes. >> so can he be stopped?
10:23 pm
10:24 pm
when folks think about what they get from alaska, and without a public debate on our cherished impact of energy they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

10:27 pm
the suddenly politically out of touch clinton family. john gibson and john gambling join me next, but first, the commerce department today loosened a nearly 40 year ban on oil exports from this country by giving licenses to two energy companies, giving them permission to ship a type of undefined ultralight oil directly to foreign buyers. you probably wouldn't be surprised to learn that our commerce department doesn't agree that that represents a change in policy. but the fact is there's a powerful lobbying porish under way to export more of our crude oil. we have so much of this stuff thanks to fracking principally, that the mavens claim that's depressing prices by $10 a barrel in this country, that explains why gasoline prices are fairly stable, running
10:28 pm
$3.77 on average. but what happens if we export not small but significant amounts of american oil? the experts tell us we might see oil double in price if iraq's supplies are disrupted by the sectarian war tearing that country up. and iraq produces only 3 million barrels a day, that's just about the same amount of oil we export as refined petroleum products, right now. america's on the verge of achieving energy independence, and the way to that goal doesn't begin with careless policies set by the commerce department. even when it's convenient to the interests of energy companies, and big oil and this administration. and that convenience expands when the higher energy costs that would result are coincidentally the goal of this administration and the
10:29 pm
environmental lobby as well. stable, low energy prices are critical to the health and the well-being of our economy, and to our future prosperity, and to already hard press working men and women in this country, our middle class, the people who make this country work. they're not at the table in this discussion, not yet. i hope they will be. congress, for its part is averting its eyes on all of this on the loosening of export restrictions on oil, still allowing commerce department bureaucrats to do the bidding of big energy and environmentalists and put on their shoulders any, well, any kind of reprisal in public opinion. it is time to insist on a public debate on this issue, ask what happened to our national priority of energy independence, and how this policy would advance that
10:30 pm
interest. up next, the brand-new book, the people v. barack obama makes the argument that this white house effectively killed the constitution. its author, ben shapiro, joins (vo) watching. waiting. for that moment, where right place meets right time. and when i find it- i go for it. (announcer) at scottrade, we share your passion for trading.
10:31 pm
that's why we give you the edge, with innovative charting and trading features, plus powerful mobile apps so you're always connected, wherever you are. because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods.
10:32 pm
nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.
10:33 pm
. lou: congressional investigators today uncovered shocking e-mails that show former irs official lois lerner tried to initiate an audit of republican senator chuck grassley that occurred in december of 2012, around the time the irs also went after conservative groups and donors. according to the e-mails lerner thought it was inappropriate for unnamed group to to ever pay for grassley's wife to attend an event. lerner's suggestion was shot down. but it does give you some sense
10:34 pm
of her state of mind, doesn't it? house speaker john boehner today announced he plans to suit president over illegal and abusive use of executive orders. fox news has the latest. >> of the constitution makes it clear that a president's job is to faithfully execute the laws. and in my view, the president has not faithfully executed the laws. lou: fox news legal analyst says the lawsuit is dead on arrival. my next guest takes up the issue of a lawsuit against the president in his new book, "the people vs. barack obama," the criminal case against the oba administration, joining us tonight, editor at large of breitbart.com, ben shapiro, great to have you with us, ben. >> thanks. >> let's turn to boehner's lawsuit. you're judgment, you suggest
10:35 pm
something in your book, well, approximate, i would say, in a case of a private civil lawsuit. what do you think of the boehner idea? >> i think boehner's idea is mainly a cover. i don't think that the lawsuit is going to go anywhere from a legal perspective because the supreme court generally refers to the political question doctrine, they tend not to get involved in disputes between the various branches of government. what congress ought to do in the case against "the people vs. barack obama," they should allow us to sue members of the obama administration, expand the racketeer corrupt organization act in 1970 and allow us to seek liebt for actions that they take to damage us. we've seen this be successful. the national organization for marriage sued the united states government over discrimination by the irs against them. the irs leaked confidential tax information to a national gay group, they won. it's private lawsuits that get
10:36 pm
somewhere, i don't think congress is going to get anywhere unless they use impeachment power which, of course, they won't. lou: exactly in law, how old a private court be able to compel this president to do his job with honor and with duty? >> no one is going to be able to compel president obama to do his job with honor and duty. he's incapable of that. private lawsuits addressed at members of the administration and those people punished for the actions they take. for example, president clinton was forced to testify in the paula jones lawsuit. you can see that happen with the president of the united states, depending on whether the courts would allow that sort thing and whether the legislation would broaden the scope of such lawsuits. the question is do we want the president to get dragged into court on a fairly regular basis, officers dragged into court on a fairly regular basis, now that we're living in what amounts an elective dictatorship, the answer is
10:37 pm
yes. lou: in "the people vs. barack obama," you talk about the currency of this administration as bribery. what do you mean? >> well, there's no question that bribery from the distribution of funding under the stimulus package, all of that faup falls under the rubric of bribery. the real case i'm making is this is a mafia-like organization where the president of the united states can sit up top, issue vague commands and somebody low down on the chain will pick those up and run with them. that what we've seen with the irs. i don't believe every conspiracy need ace smoking gun, you have the president issuing blanket statements about the way the world should be magically, the way people he to what he wishes it were. lou: let me take you to this point quickly, senator sessions says there is the idea that
10:38 pm
there's impeachment and there is holding back funding. the fact is one is not enough, the others judge too much. this man, as you described him, as head of a criminal enterprise in effect, why would impeachment not be the correct course? >> impeachment would not be a terrible idea except that it's not going to go anywhere in the senate. the real reason impeachment wouldn't do anything, have you an executive branch that has three million employees, let's say president obama went away tomorrow and joe biden took up the reins, that wouldn't solve the corruption within the va and the irs. it wouldn't solve the problem you have within a massive executive branch. they can do what they want. the only way to stop them is slicing the tremendous size and scope of the executive branch and forcing people to be held responsible for the criminality. there is no safer place to be on the planet if you are a criminal than inside the obama administration. lou: ben shapiro, the book is
10:39 pm
"the people vs. barack obama." thanks for being with us, ben, good luck with the book. on sale now, online and at book stores everywhere. we're coming right back. bubba to the rescue again, despite making millions of dollars since leaving the white house, the former president says hillary is not out of touch. radio talk show hosts john gibson and john gambling join us next. ♪ [ female announcer ] we love our smartphones. and now telcos using hp big data solutions are feeling the love, too. by offering things like on-the-spot data upgrades -- an idea that reduced overcharge complaints by 98%. no matter how fast your business needs to adapt, if hp big data solutions can keep wireless customers smiling, imagine what they can do for yours. make it matter.

you are gonna need a wingman. and my cash back keeps the party going. but my airline miles take it worldwide. [ male announcer ] it shouldn't be this hard. with creditcards.com, it's easy to search hundreds of cards and apply online. creditcards.com. . lou: on wall street stocks moving higher, volume on the big board, 3.1 billion shares. joining me now two of the country's very best radio talk show hosts, the answer's john gambling, fox news radio's john gibson. and john -- i'm going to have to do better than that. i have to say the whole name.
10:43 pm
john gibson with the fancy new studio there. let me ask you, talking with ben shapiro, the safest place to be if you're a criminal is the obama administration, that was a good line, don't you think? . lou: yeah, it was a good line. >> to be under the wing of eric holder and be president of the united states, it's very clear eric holder is not going to let there be a special prosecutor for the irs or anything else that might get obama into actual nixon trouble. and the covering job that the attorney general is doing for the president is really amazing, and he should get a -- obama were fair dom, a big bonus, the va took up most of the bonuses. lou: what do you think, mr. gambling? . >> i got to tell you, lou, it was a great line shapiro had. and the reason it's a great line is because it is the truth. the things going on in washington right now in this
10:44 pm
administration, if you and i did them, if john gibson did them, we would be thrown in jail. we all know that, and yet they seem to act with impunity, and none of what we are watching, whether it's the irs, the border situation, whatever scandal, sillind ral, whatever you want to bring up, it's all by design, they want chaos and out of the chaos, they want control. lou: now i think gambling's got a great point there, mr. gibson, that is that this chaos
10:45 pm
. >> really? these guys are this stupid? i don't think so, i think they're like a sly fox, they're the smartest guys in the room. they're deceptive and destructive but smarter than the average bear. lou: and to that point -- go ahead. >> yes and no, but you got to remember that obama a-team is off the field. gibbs, axelrod, all the guys are gone, there's a b-team and the boss is up to 170 rounds of golf. i'm not sure they're all that smart. not sure i'm willing to give them credit for being that smart. lou: how smart do you have to
10:46 pm
be if you don't obey the law, you don't worry one little bit about destroying, it appears, e-mail after e-mail on government servers. you simply tell congress you're not going to reply and stonewall across every one of these scandals. whether it's benghazi, whether it's the va, whether it's the irs spying on journalists, fast and furious. the list goes on and on, it's unthinkable here that we would have -- half of these would not have been possible. >> they've learned to cover. yeah, well, i've learned the lesson, the benghazi, too big a trail for somebody to follow. the irs, they learned you can pull the hard drive out, take it to the driveway, smash it with the hammer and say we don't have the evidence anymore and you will never get it. nothing anybody can do know that sit there smugly and say
10:47 pm
it's over. lou: mr. gamble, they come before congress to inform them that epa e-mails are missing. it worked so well at the irs, we're going to try it at the epa. are you kidding me? >> it's absolute insanity. they think we are the stupidest group of people on earth. yet what happens. the scandals come up, there's a little noise, gibson gambling and dobbs scream about it and it goes away, and nothing happens to anybody. that's why they continue to keep doing it. lou: all right, gentlemen, appreciate it, john gibson, thanks for taking out time from your ranch. john gambling, back to the beach. thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you, lou, i will. lou: john gambling, john gibson. great guys. we're coming right back. the president refusing to stop tens of thousands of unaccompanied children crossing our border. senator jeff sessions says
10:48 pm
america's immigration system is unraveling. he's our guest next. wondering what that is? that, my friends, is everything. and with the quicksilver card from capital one, you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase. not just "everything at the hardware store." not "everything, until you hit your cash back limit." quicksilver can earn you unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you could possibly imagine. say it with me -- everything. one more time, everything! and with that in mind... what's in your wallet?
10:51 pm
. lou: homeland security secretary jeh johnson today in nogales, arizona, a facility that houses thousands of illegal immigrant children, his focus, and that leads us to tonight's quotation of the evening. this from president ronald reagan who said, a nation that cannot control its borders cannot a nation. secretary johnson continues his push for the senate's version of immigration reform and legislation nearly a year after it was passed in the senate. my next guest says that johnson is undermining his ability to
10:52 pm
enforce the lie by advertising a path to citizenship in foreign countries that simply does not exist. joining us now is senator jeff sessions. he's the ranking member of the senate banking committee. senate veterans affairs committee member as well. good to have you with us. senator johnson for all the world sounding like a man trying to pselytize more illegal immigration. >> lou, what they're doing is encouraging illegality rather than discouraging it. there's no doubt about that. he's consistently been meeting with immigration activists, talking about reforming our system, but what that meant is how to make it easier to come to the country. unlawfully, and how to make it -- and how to be less willing to enforce law and deport people who entered unlawfully. the result is we've had this
10:53 pm
huge surge in illegality, particularly children, since the president and mr. johnson basically said children can come and stay, and they're being allowed to come and stay, and we've gone from 6,000 children coming in, in 2011 to 90,000 this year and maybe 130,000 next year. it's unbelievable. lou: do you think there is anything less than contrived about what this, the president refers to as a humanitarian crisis on our border? that is, do you believe there is any way in which this is not intentional, conscious strategy open the of the administration, in the alliance with several central american countries, namely el salvador, honduras, guatemala and the government of mexico to move these children some 1800 miles from their home countries to our border? >> you know, it's really not -- i don't blame the children or the families so much as i blame
10:54 pm
our government for sending this message. it's utterly predictable and i predicted that if this continues, we're going to see a surge in illegal entries, and we've seen more than that. virtual collapse in enforcement. border patrol officers that need to be enforcing the law are baby-sitting and changing diapers. it's an unbelievable tragedy, and should have been prevented and we need to say and the president because he started this with a lot of his own statements. he needs to say clearly to the world, do not come, it's unlawful, you're take risk. you will not succeed, and when we apprehend you, we will deport you. that's the way to reduce the number of people attempts to come in unlawfully. lou: senator, speaker of the house john boehner talking about suing the president to insist he enforce our laws to
10:55 pm
enforce border security. your thoughts on that idea. >> you know, the border patrol -- the i.c.e. officers, immigrations customs officers, they sued their supervisors and the secretary of the homeland security for blocking them from following their sworn duty to enforce the law several years ago. the court found merit in their proposal just said they didn't have standing, a technical reason. but i got to say something needs to be done. i think the american people need to contact the senators and congressmen and need to know explicitly from them, not some general statement, will you take action to resist this kind of collapse of legality at our border. lou: senator, thank you very much. senator jeff sessions. >> thank you. lou: time now for a few of your comments. we asked whether you believe
10:56 pm
this is the most corrupt history? mike tweeted me, aided and abetted by the most corrupt press in u.s. history. if we had this bunch nixon wouldn't have been impeached. jefferson tweeted yes, yes, yes! no organization, much less administration has ever broken, skirted or ignored more laws. and robert e-mailed us, do you think edward snowden might have any information on the two years of lost lois lerner e-mails? an interesting possibility. a free copy of my novel "border war" will be shipped to the authors of all of tonight's comments. we love hearing from you, follow us on on twitter at lou dobbs news. go to our facebook page, links to everything at loudobbs.com. that's it for us, tomorrow colonel bob mcginnis, keith ablow and best-selling author,

when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. crestor lowered bad cholesterol in it's a fact. high-risk patients more than lipitor. bad cholesterol... you're going down! yeah! lowering cholesterol is a big deal, especially if you have high cholesterol plus any of these risk factors, because you could be at increased risk for plaque buildup in your arteries over time. so, when diet and exercise aren't enough to lower cholesterol, adding crestor can help. i'm down with crestor! crestor is not right for everyone, like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. tell your doctor about other medicines you're taking. call your doctor right away if you have muscle pain or weakness, feel unusually tired; have loss of appetite, upper belly pain, dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes. these could be signs of rare but serious side effects.
