in fun funerals. on fox business network, have a a good night. dobbs. >> good evening, everyone. a new gallup poll revealing the impact of the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who have been floating across the southern border. and this includes the lack of border security. the number of americans who consider this to be the most important problem reaching 17%, that's up from 5% and the

highest number of illegal immigration that has ever registered in nepal. the emergence of immigration is the top issue in the minds of americans reported as the government unveiled a plan complete with tennis courts and hot tubs and cable television and wifi into a juvenile illegal facility and all this at a cost of $60 million to taxpayers. the plan scrapped by health and human services it will cause of what they claim to be the u.s.

drug policy being blamed for the search of illegal immigrants to the u.s. border. hernando said the root cause is that the united states and colombia carried out this operation in the fight against drugs. in mexico did at pushing drug traffickers into el salvador. >> the border is secure. we talked to the caucus today and he says that we can send now without any equivocation. >> he disagrees and says that they are conducting secret operations to remove tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children all over the united states. in refusing to tell state and local leaders anything. he will be joining us here in

just a moment. george washington professor jonathan turley telling the committee why it is imperative that the speaker be given legal authority to proceed. >> a model that is different of government, one that was rejected. it our president he has occurred with very little congressional opposition. >> we will be talking with mike

kelly about why the speaker chose a lawsuit over impeachment. and accusing republicans of waging a war on women for years but the brand-new book proves once and for all that it actually democrats who are ignoring the best interest of american ways. author editor and cohost katie pavlich is here tonight. and nebraska congressman trying to force the obama administration to be transparent on the border crisis. introducing legislation and directing the attorney general and the department of homeland security to report to congress on where immigrant children are being sent and how many are being given immigration hearing dates and how many are showing up for the hearing. joining us now is dave heineman who along with the congressman recently found out that two other children had been sent to the state of nebraska without notice whatsoever to local or

government officials. >> let's start with this. has there been any apology or effort and has the health and human services department for homeland security reached out to change this government? >> no, not at all. we initiated all the phone calls and all the action and i appreciate what the congressman is doing. this administration says it wants to be transparent. but how about being transparent these children are being sent to our cities and our state and we have a responsibility to our taxpayers to ensure that they don't was the of state and federal taxpayer funding benefit.

so they can start there. >> i'm concerned about that because i'm not sure that there is. we are going to have to educate those children the least way. lack of time. and he could do that right now and there are plenty of states, we would be glad to volunteer our national guard to go down for 30 or 60 days.

lou: i think it's good every single american watching this crisis up on the southern border and the children could not have made their way 1800 miles from their countries of origin without the assistance, whether implied or rhetorical on the part of the president, or whether active along with all of the organizations and those that are engaged in this crisis. this is political theater. but the actors are very real and the consequences are extraordinarily brave.

>> that is what we are worried about. and as i say, they are transporting these unaccompanied children all across america into undisclosed locations and they will not tell us what is going on and i'm going to continue to work with our senators and congressmen to demand to know that information when vice president biden was shaking hands with them, i took the mere 60 seconds to bring it to his attention and he said he checked into it. lou: did you laugh in his face? >> no, i didn't laugh in his face because it's too serious of an issue, but we know today that its eye on the desk of valerie

jarrett and that's about as close you can get to the president so i do hope that they will listen and pay attention to what the governor is saying. >> i will guarantee that they will not. they are not listening to congress or to anyone. this is a government that unto itself, this president is ruling by fiat and the needs to continue to do so, it seems one thing that is transparent about this administration and let me ask you, why not talk to the communities in your state, the mayor is talking to the county supervisors and finding out what is going on in this state and use your own network for information and a public policy response from your office. especially to preserve the integrity of your stay. >> i'm trying to talk to several people to see if they know anything about it and so far the

mayors are not aware of it either. all we have heard his various rumors that potentially they are going to be more children showing up for school here in the middle of august and again, we deserve to know what is going on and this is our country and why won't they share that information with us and what are they hiding? like you, i am concerned that we will not find out what we'll do everything we can to try to do so. >> the national governors association, a democrat from connecticut refusing to accept them and that refusal being honored. there seems to be a different standard for blue states and red states. do you suppose that has influence on what is going on influence on what is going on here? >> i'd like to think not, but it could be. the one difference that i know is that would've been a holding operation in connecticu which he said no to.

i'm not sure if they said no to accepting any and can they prevent it because they are only going to red states versus blue states and that's not the way we work in america. >> this is not an american operation. governor, great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> the obama white house today blowing up a congressional subpoena. darrell issa, one of the president's top political advisers to testify on whether his work is in violation of the hatch act, a law that bans federal employees from engaging in political activity while on duty. chairman darrell issa revealed that he heard he had bombshell evidence that the obama administration has a history and the record of illegal fund-raising activities. ice is forming the committee in 2012. told a soleus asking a

subordinate to help with obama's reelection campaign. >> hello, this is how the calling and wanted to ask you if you could help us to get folks organize to come forward and organization at 6:00 p.m. we wanted to ask you if you would help to contribute or get other folks to help out. >> the white house would will not comment on the reporting, citing an ongoing law enforcement investigation. and the head of the centers for disease control also facing questioning on capitol hill to explain a series of troubling errors of government laboratories involving deadly

pathogens. scientists have mishandled samples of highly dangerous bird flu and the national institute of health discovered forgotten vials of smallpox. some are saying the incidents are unacceptable. >> in hindsight we missed a crucial pattern reflected the need to improve the culture of safety at the cdc. >> lawmakers pushing back and one expert recommending more training for scientists. >> are you telling me that these people with phd's do not understand that anthrax is dangerous? are you kidding me? many more training? we are making excuses for these scientists? if they don't understand that anthrax is used for a web been in it can kill people and harm people at the u.s. capitol, then

they shouldn't be working there. >> marsha blackburn was at that hearing and she will be joining us later in the broadcast to see what the those scientists actually do understand. and president obama today trying to divert attention from all of his scandals and controversies during a six minute appearance in the white house press briefing room. announcing new economic sanctions that target not rush of a russian energy firms, financial institutions and a few russian companies that make weapons. european leaders also ordering sanctions. we will let you know if they ever work and we will be right back. >> the people's house versus barack obama, speaker boehner moves forward. congressman mike kelly monday and pending lawsuit in the fight for the constitution coming up

lou: israel and hamas militants in gaza, both are saying that they will suspend attacks or five hours tomorrow, they call it a humanitarian gesture at the request of the united nations. a senior official says the likelihood of a ground invasion of the gaza strip is very high. more than 200 people have been killed during the nine-day conflict in more than 1200 hamas rockets and mortars fired into israel. bashar al-assad today sworn in for a third seven-year term, more than three years ago that president obama have said that he must go. in washington, speaker john

boehner taking the next step in his lawsuit against the president from the executive overreach. legal experts testifying today and one law professor saying congress must act to face self-destruction. joining us now is congressman mike kelly, good to have you with us. george washington university professor jonathan turley. what are the most respected minds teaching this in this country? laying out clearly the national media for the country. simply stated, either you guys act to blunt what is government by fiat and abuse of power or our system of government is done >> good words from the professor, it really falls on our shoulders. people vote for us and they sent

us here to defend the constitution. the key to it is that there are things going on that no american would look at and say i think it is all right. but it's not all right and it's time for the house to follow the rules a wadden believing that we are a nation of laws and that no one is above the law, including the president of the united states and that is what makes us exceptional. so what are we doing here? why would we even come here and why would we ask people to send us here to defend him in our nations capital we don't have the backbone and stomach to stand up and do what is necessary right now to preserve this nation going forward. we have many blessings, but we also have a burden that we have to defend vigorously and aggressively. i just don't think now is the time to do it. my goodness, one isn't there an election? and it falls on our shoulders right now. this is what we must do.

we can't walk away from that one there could be a little bit better trying to do. the constitution has never been under greater stress than what it is right now. so we have to defend the vigorously. lou: darrell issa has done great work in investigating scandal after scandal after scandal. benghazi, "fast and furious", the list goes on and on. as well as unsuccessful in terms of reaching a revolution. the first secretary to be held in contempt of congress. both were held in contempt. but the effect of congressional action has been zero. and so it is inadequate. what i don't hear from congress even as speaker boehner prepares a lawsuit is a response that is

innovative and inventive and is serious as the president's abuses of power. he is right now offering a crisis on our southern border and sustaining it and not resolving it. congress sits basically mute and flat-footed and seemingly unnerved. is this what we can expect of our congress and government? >> i go back to the rule of law in a way that the law prescribes. what i think is that special prosecutors are going to have to intervene. when the chief prosecutor ignores this and we hold him in contempt, and they say we can't get to that right now, maybe somewhere down the line we will do it, then these day okay, we can investigate and expose it at

this point. the executive branch has made decisions that we're not even going to touch these things and we would've put them off to the site and wait until a later date and this idea that you continue, running up the clock and all the important issues, hoping that people will be so discouraged that their anger will turn to it's not worth fighting anymore. so we have done is at this time special prosecutors have to come into play in the department of justice is not going to do its job and eric holder is not going to do his job the way it's prescribed under a constitution and what our duties are. >> i think the initial lawsuit, and keep in mind, he is a speaker of the house. the speaker for the house of representatives that records both sides of the aisle. i would hope that instead of standing up and applauding, they

are inactive and then not doing this job the way that i want, i'm going to do it myself heard outside should've never stood up and applauded. but our role has been diminished and i would hope at this point that both sides, democrats and republicans come together to defend the american people and forget about the party specifics. >> it is highly unlikely that the democrats will join in with the passively on the part of the loyal opposition. >> congressman cummings great to talk with you and we appreciate you being here. >> thank you for what you're doing. she wanted is a time for online poll. you believe it's possible to still be in power with a corrupt government and so many officials who simply lack integrity. 92% said no.

be sure to vote on our poll tonight. you believe speaker boehner should also sue president obama for failing to secure borders and encouraging illegal immigration are not cast your vote at loudobbs.com and we'll have the results for you. coming up next, my commentary on the bizarre call for economic patriotism. what do they mean? and just how do they

in new york state, we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny.

we've created tax free zones throughout the state. and startup ny companies will be investing hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax. which means more growth for your business, and more jobs. it's not just business as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov

lou: coming up, marsha blackburn joins us from much of the border crisis and she will share that with us tonight. and the brand-new book assault on flattery making the case that the democrats are the ones waging war on women. katie pavlich store in a now. until a few comments on the obama administration and economic patriotism. jack lew wrote a letter riotism. jack lew wrote a letter today to the congressional tax writing

committee. stopping american companies from relocating to take advantage of lower taxes, a practice known as invns have done roughly 50 of those inversions over the last decade and that is buying a smaller overseas competitor and then reincorporating the low tax country. announcing they would be taking advantage of their ability under the current tax code to avoid taxes by overseas reincorporation. and so the obama administration's proposal seek this by raising the threshold of ownership required for such deals from the current 20% to 50%, meaning that they would have to own 50% of the company

and there are lots of problems with the obama administration thinking about so many things. but their thinking on inversions and tax avoidance is for joy or. griswold is small potatoes and secondly it seems to be at the flexion from bigger issues than all of that is part of this the president and his administration. the joint commission on taxation estimates the federal government of tax revenue over the next decade because of the number of companies expected to do inversions. so they are truly a minor item when compared to the impact of other examples of what this administration might call unpatriotic business practices.

the passage of the affordable care act in the tremendous cost of imposters and economic patriotism the millions who

could prosper in a growing economy and perhaps a smaller government, a president who embraces free enterprise and capitalism rather than more statism. it's just a thought about economic patriotism. we're coming right back. coming up next, the obama plan shelling out lots of taxpayer dollars to house illegal immigrant children. marsha blackburn on the border crisis and the mad i'm j-a-n-e and i have copd. i'm d-a-v-e and i have copd. i'm k-a-t-e and i have copd, but i don't want my breathing problems to get in the way my volunteering. that's why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days

[ bells ring on sign ] [ vehicle beeping ] who's ready for the garlic festival? this guy! bringing our competitors' rates to you -- now, that's progressive. lou: over this past weekend, my next guest to her this facility in oklahoma that houses 1200 illegal immigrant children. she says the obama administration should reduce financial aid to the nation the

children are leaving behind them in order to pay for the cost of caring for them in this country. vice chair of the house budget committee. >> it is good to be with you. lou: you say that the united states should reduce this and is there any way that they would consider such a thing? isn't it clear that they are trying to sustain illegal immigration and encourage more crossing of the voters? >> yes, that is exactly what he is trying to do. there's money appropriated and there's no need for us to add additional appropriations because we find it so curious that he wants $1.8 billion for it care for the alien minors. we are saying that he's wanting

that money to shore up obamacare at hhs so it doesn't look so bad at the end of the year and we don't think that he needs that kind of money. >> that is a grand idea. and the word is that the house leadership is thinking about half of that, which would affect $1.7 million deal with this border crisis and for the life of man can even understand why this angle time is necessary. >> i have one more members everyday and basically every hour that say i think that this is the right idea and why should we be appropriating this. the more they learn about this and by the way we have currently four of these facilities now and

we are trying to get foster parents to take these children than they would be paid up to $6054 per month per child. so people are saying, wait a minute, it is time for us to have these countries participate in making this issue correct. putting money on it is only going to make it worse and incentivize it. lou: i have to say i'm taking this as a positive outlook and i want to ask a couple of questions. i think the american consciousness on the issue of illegal immigration has been heightened considerably.

the issue of border security is now something people are trying to understand that is essential. we are watching what is now concrete and real. this includes the open borders policy and the amnesty program. >> you are 100% right. as i started to say, this turned everything into a border state in every town into a border town. i've never seen the immigration policy and awareness of what they have not done. the president needs to rescind

the june 2012 executive order dealing with illegal alien children and he needs to secure that border now or were were not going to get our hands around this. lou: we have run with way over on time. >> i look forward to continuing to talk with you about it. lou: good having you with us. thank you so much, much more on the border crisis and a reminder to vote in our poll tonight. and encouraging illegal immigration. we're coming right back. >> coming up next, the so-called war on women.

lou: a record day on wall street. the dow jones closing out a new record high, the s&p up a comment and asked back of 10. above average at 3.5 billion shares. my next guest says the president has all of the statutory authority right now that he needs to deal with a border crisis and two and the influx of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children right now. joining us now is the secretary of state of kansas, kris kobach and the co-author of numerous anti-immigration laws. it's so great to see you. so there's a movement in congress to create new laws in

the senate. the you say that they have everything they need? >> yes, this administration request, it is completely smoke and mirrors. the president has the authority that he needs and maybe they should just read the immigration statutes more carefully. first of all, you can issue a section 212 proclamation. the elder president bush did this when the haitians were flooding and in 1991. it declares that this wave of illegal aliens is not permitted into the country. he then has the authority to repatriate them back to their home country and the supreme court has ardea pal god by president bush. there's another provision that allows the president when there's a mass influx like this to basically give immigration

powers to state troopers or the texas rangers and i can immediately mobilize that force multiplier. and the number three, this human trafficking victims protection act, this is all sort of a sideshow. obama does needs to say these are customers whose parents opted for them to voluntarily be taken to the united states and even if they were trafficking victims, they will have exceptional circumstances. and he has all of the authorities that he needs to send these miners back to their parents. >> statutorily authority. he said both know that this is a political stratagem in the political objective that they want to sustain this crisis on the border and there will be tens of thousands of more

children. so wise and every republican in the house of representatives and the united states senate talking about that statutory authority that you announced it so clearly. >> many don't know about it, they should be shouting at the top of their lungs, saying that we have many examples including president clinton executive power exists to generate the influxes of mass illegal immigration. >> the final question, what can the american people do to insist that this president actually enforces the law and secured the border? >> they can meld on the phone lines saying that i demand that you take the steps you have just like they did and they turned it

back. and once you start sending one person back, the way it cuts off instantly. >> this president will never do that and certainly not because of a phone call. this is a man who believes in raw power and his own power unfortunately. it's good to have you with us. now it's time for our word of the evening. but pertinent and not suitable, we now have an administration that creates moments of relevance do with often willful subversion of principles and law. and coming up next, democrats claiming the republican party is waging a war on women. the new book, katie

stay on quote of the evening tonight, patriotism is supporting your country all the time. and your government when it deserves it. my linux has argues that it is actually the left perpetrating a war on women and not republicans. the book is entitled assault on flattery, katie pavlich shove "the new york times", cohost of outnumbered and editor for townhall.com. and this is, let's start with one of my favorite parts of the book. you describe the kennedy family

as one of america's worst emily's and you are holding back, on them. >> i i've covered the 2012 presidential campaign very closely. when you take a deeper look at the kennedy family as i did in my book, you see that they have a history of treating women poorly but they are upheld by a lot of democrats. >> the republican party is waging a war on women.

and so you knock that down and turn it against the democrats. give us an example of this. >> the left has a bad habit of accusing their opponents. for example, everything from sexual abuse to government programs and dependency are a couple of examples. going to rock obama, the idea that democrats don't want to be dependent on government. and so taking a look at the irs targeting and the conservative tea partiers, many tea party groups in this country and their lives were turned upside down and that is just one example. another is president obama's

efforts to get women were dependent. so why is it that some of us were not outraged and we need the government to hold her hand throughout the course of their life. lou: we have just about a minute here. but why hasn't the republican party been more effective in slamming this allegation and this mantra about the war on women of the left? >> i think i got blindsided and 2012 but they realize it will be used in 2016. they use it to counter ridiculous claims that contraception is somehow going to be banned underboss can determine that. so that is the way to address it instead of allowing them to address that themselves.

lou: she is referring to the supreme court decisions suggesting that it was not a valid thing and so katie, it's great to have you here, congratulations on the book. and her book is on sale online, we recommend you make a purchase. it is time for a few of your comments. no longer do we have a president of all the people, only of the liberals and kathy said this quote of the evening, she says president obama is inspired and motivated by some of the people all the time. and johnny in texas says has anyone looked into how so many impoverished families in central america are coming up with $7000 to pay the coyotes?
