and his peach coat and m.k. hammer, i'm matt welch, thank you for joining us, and have a very pleasant evening. and geopt gone away. lou dobbs will tell you when you lou: at good evening, everyone, the federal aviation them in the nation has just prohibited all u.s. airlines from flying to and from israel's airport. the decision comes after hamas rockets came within 1 mile of israel's international airport. the directive stretching up to 24 hours as the fighting on the ground intensifies. hamas has launched more than 200 up to and israel over the past two weeks and many air carriers have taken it upon themselves to suspend israel bound flights indefinitely. those include delta air lines

and u.s. airways and many european carriers are following suit after last week's malaysia airlines disaster over the eastern ukraine. air france and klm also suspending flights to israel indefinitely. this includes air canada and all canceled flights for at least the next 24 hours. the israeli hotel association forecasting up to a half-million dollars in lost tourism revenue because of the conflict of a 35% decline of last year. and the white house once again giving the public and correct information. here is the past and turn press secretary one hour before the faa announced the prohibition on flights to tel aviv. >> it's my understanding that they have not issued any notices related to the ongoing violence in that region of the world and

we have individual carriers that make a decision about their flight plans and whether or not to alter specific routes based on the. lou: meanwhile, a humanitarian individual saying that hamas is hiding weapons stockpiles in schools and weapons and other civilian centers and the israeli government saying that they have taken the idea of soldiers hostage. we'll be talking with john bolton here in just moments. also tonight to federal appeals court rulings putting the future of obamacare very much in doubt. the dc court of appeals ruling the people that buy their insurance to the federal health care exchange are not eligible for subsidies. but the court of appeals in texas ruling the officer. the heart of obamacare tonight

likely on the fast track to the supreme court. we will be taking all this up with lis wiehl and are dried on. also the relationship between president obama and president clinton is anything but friendly. daniel harper joins us here tonight. and an egyptian cease-fire as the death toll tops 629 israelis killed in the writing. for more on the crisis, i'm joined by john logan, thank you for joining us. the fight and gaza against them,

the rocket fire seems to be a relentless and not diminishing. what do you make of it? >> the israelis have an enormous difference in turn difficult task. hamas has a huge set of rockets buried in deep and well protected tunnels, using shields around the operation. this would never be anything more than a two or three day operation speed on that is very clear from the outset. >> but is at the case when they have already agreed to a cease-fire and the objectives are not met? this is not just hamas as a terrorist organization but them as a surrogate for the longer range and more active missiles coming directly or indirectly from iran and their way of pressuring israel and there's a

lot more at stake here than just hamas a terrorist group. lou: that seems to be a sufficient immediate order of the day with an estimated 10,000 rockets, 2000 have been extended in the first two weeks. this conflict, hamas has rejected these are proposals that were accepted by the israelis and secretary john kerry and the president making it clear that israel has the right to defend itself. so what do you make of the administration's position in what is your reaction? >> the most benign thing you can say that it contradictory. but the reality is that they don't mean that israel has the right to defend self. when you look at a nation that has been attacked like this and insist that their military response can last five days or six days, you're basically saying that you have to be to go

to the threat from hamas forever. so i think that israel is clearly within its rights to conduct this operation. the hamas approach is barbaric by using civilians as a shield. but otherwise israel loses and hamas is able to get away with it. lou: the use of the word rights on the part of israel to defend itself, it seems it goes without saying that israel has been attacked and attacked each day by 100 or more on average rocket attacks being shot at random, it seems like, into civilian areas. israel would be suicidal if israeli leaders to simply say that we are going to concern ourselves. and i don't hear anyone mildly thing that in this administration. even though there has been many voices that support europe, i

don't hear european leaders saying that the past is not. hamas must stop attacks. >> the right of self-defense includes destroying that your country. if we think back to pearl harbor, who would've argued that it was disproportionate for the united states to limit the threat and that is really what israel should do. they are under such pressure and i don't think it's going to happen. as of 2006 when they said they eliminate hezbollah, the real objective ought he to eliminate hamas and the threat once and for all. the united states under obama, the europeans are not letting them do that. lou: do we take prime netanyahu at his word is upon the counteroffensive against this? >> i think that's what we'd like to do, but i don't think that the order happened accidentally. i would like to know who talked

to the faa because the clear consequence will be to impose economic harm on israel. bolstering in their minds the obamacare argument and cease-fire. and i think it actually proves the exact opposite but you can't live in a situation where the economy is being held hostage not only by a bunch of terrorists, but those in tehran as well. lou: ambassador john bolton, thank you for being here. and u for obamacare and the nations dc court of appeals. dealing a potentially fatal blow to the health care law subsidies that are critical for making coverage affordable. two hours after that decision another federal appellate court sided with the obama administration on the name issues saying that the subsidies were lawful. reporter correspondent shannon bream is in washington and has the latest on what could lead to

a showdown before the u.s. supreme court. >> one issue but to federal courts look very different with very different opinions. the dc circuit's it's just one step below the u.s. supreme court topped out the interpretation of the affordable care act, which uses subsidies for states that have not established their own exchanges. in a two to one decision into how big this case works, the court agreed saying that one interpreting the statute, we want to ascertain the meaning duly enacted through the formal legislative dossett. >> just last week i told congress that the torpedo just hit. reporter: a short time later, the fourth circuit issued its own ruling on the issue where it found a lot to be ambiguous, as

part of the interpretation. we are satisfied that the irs rule is a permissible construction of the statutory language. >> the fourth circuit made clear today that when you look at the statute as a whole than the administration's provision must prevent all. >> they must petition for a hearing and in dc that would include three new obama appointees rushed onto the court after senate majority leader harry reid change the rules, forgetting the president nominees confirmed. >> he hasn't had a chance to pass through lelia. some competent but they will have the last word iraq over the last several months supreme court has handed down numerous defeats in cases where it's decided that the president or federal agency has used its power to go around the law. exactly what the irs is accused of doing in this case.

lou: shannon bream and much more on the obamacare rollings and later we will be talking with lis wiehl and arthur aidala. lou: coming up next, it's vladimir putin carrying a very big stick. robe

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 i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because it gives me zero heartburn... annc: prilosec otc the number one doctor recommend frequent heartburn medicine for nine straight years. one pill each morning 24 hours zero heartburn.

lou: scientists are warning that the deadly middle east respiratory syndrome may be spread through the air. they have detected it in the

barn housing an infected camel. it has killed 38% who have contracted the virus around the world and it first emerged two years ago. the vast majority of those cases are in saudi arabia. two american health care workers who have recently traveled to the middle east brought the virus back to the united states. russian president vladimir putin pledged to press ukrainian separatist to cooperate with the investigation and the downing of flight 17 as investigators report tampering with the crash site including the removal of cockpit pieces and fuselage. joining us now is robert maginnis. it's good to have you with us. let's start with the crash site that has been tampered with. it seems to me that the site itself is less important than

all of the evidence while it was 32,000 feet in the air. >> yes, we have been monitoring this technology, looking in this. president obama was very clear and he said with great confidence that we know pretty well what happened. so i don't think this will be a mystery. we may not know who pulled the trigger whether it is russian separatists or what, but we do know where it came out of, a small town and we know what it came down and we have the black boxes, not that they are going to tell us much more than that. but all of the other pieces pretty well fit together and i think at this point we will see

this between what vladimir putin does and of course what barack obama does. lou: the ukrainian government officials agreeing to mobilize an additional 15 combat support units in the ukraine is estimating at least 41,000 russian troops on the border with 150 tanks. so what is going on here? are we looking at the prospect of an engagement of armed conflict? >> anything can happen at the right unfortunately. it depends upon whether or not the russians want to follow through. remove the troops in and out over the last or four months and the ukrainians are responding to this. the prime minister came out and said we need some sophisticated weapons and were facing down the

russians would have been increasing their defense spending significantly over the last 10 years and they have a fairly good military. it may not be world class like ours, but it certainly the regional hegemon. so it's basically begging the west to come and help and at this point they are arming themselves up and sending these forward and i'm not sure that's going to satisfy what they have in mind. lou: president obama with his continued rhetoric sink divider curtain you will be for further isolated if you continue. the world has got to be tiring of the president and the threats because just about everybody understands the united states does not have assets in place, military assets, with which to

respond to any move that vladimir putin would make on his home ground. >> the f-16s and f-15s, it is something that we don't have the resources to really count are vladimir putin and he knows that. the only ace in the hole that he has is the recession starts to hit russia hard as it well may capital continues to fly out. somehow the europeans find an energy deal to cut off any to russia which is a primary source of income. and he's going to have his way and that is unfortunate. so it's not as if it is a free situation for him. he had some internal issues and if this falls apart, the same thing that happened after the cuban missile crisis, they replaced him with this as well

and this is truly his government, is it not? >> yes, it is. and he's going to be in power for years to come and they are resources that go with that, they are great people and that's

the cradle of the russian civilization and they don't want to lose out. they have no intention of losing it. lou: he has also successfully returned the crimea to go to russia after the annexation on the 21st of march, four months ago. and so we have done our best to discern is that it's not always easy work. >> keep in mind the same animals that took over crimea then went and continued. a kernel that was involved in this, he was the one that posted this claim that they had shot down another one one it ended up being distillation airliner. so you have some interesting

people inside the eastern ukraine area, they marched the tune that he is in moscow and we will have to wait and see what comes out of this. >> it is unsettling to think that we have a better understanding of the forces at hand at their beck and call and that would be available to the european union. and where are those european leaders and voices anyway, and of course to the president of the united states. colonel, it's good have you with us and we appreciate it. >> thank you. lou: it's time for a look at our online poll results and last night we asked whether you believe president obama should mention hamas as he criticizes israel's military offensive against targets in gaza. 97% said that the president should mention at least this. go to our poll an answer. which do you believe today?

block buster report on government negligence in the lead up to the benghazi terrorist attacks. adam housley will join us with his work and the new reveal

between president clinton and president obama. the author daniel hauber will be joining us tonight are the first from a few comments on the white house's decision on the late-night show on abc rescheduled for tomorrow. why is be canceled appearance worthy of this? in part because it the only perceptible change despite the russian missile that down malaysian flight 17, despite the conflict in gaza as the defense forces have fired at least 2000 rockets into israel over the past two weeks. that is right, golf was not on schedule and neither were planned fundraisers.

listen to josh earnest today explaining why. >> we would like the president not to do the interview over the course of this trip and that is an part related to the challenges of doing a comedy show in the midst of some of these other more serious matters that the president is dealing with. >> and could mean the president is directing our government from the oval office, but no, they are dealing with the crises in both the ukraine and gosar in a more detached manner. for the next several days he reflects his piorities which apparently don't change much despite geopolitical developments in military conflict. it's clear parody based on scheduling his political

fund-raising. that is why the president right now is in seattle, the first stop of his three-day west coast fund-raising swing that could raise more than $6 million for democrats. that is why the president hanahan with fundraisers in new york last week after the downing of flight 17 and that is why the week before and the president raise cash in austin and drink beer in denver rather than find for southern borders who witnessed first-hand the flood of illegal immigrant children trying to cross into the united states rather than meet hard-working american citizen that are being disrupted by the ways of illegal immigrants crossing the border. what is called a humanitarian crisis. the white house wouldn't mind he american public were allowed to believe he was making some concession to the dangerous times in which we live in now with the misconception hard to

sustain. given that this weekend the president was partaking on his 182nd round of golf while in office. i wouldn't begrudge mr. obama on his round of golf, he is demanding, after all, much of those that take on the immense responsibility of preserving and protecting our great nation. putting in long hours each day and enduring the stress that accompanies great responsibility , meeting each test of the president stamina. but i do begrudge him the fundraisers and i would hope that he might take those off his schedule in such a time as this. nor would i expect him to lose too many opportunities raise lots of money. because he has been able to attend only about 400 fundraisers since he became

president and as i said, the presidency is demanding. we will be right back. >> the dilemma in helping his wife diminish his legacy. sabotaging the campaign, maintaining his freedom. that from the new book "clinton ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] if you can't stand the heat, get off the test track. get the mercedes-benz you've been burning for at the summer event, going on now at your authorized mercedes-benz dealer. but hurry, offers end july 31st. share your summer moments in your mercedes-benz with us.

georgia and it is a tightly. david purdue holding the early lead on incumbent jack kingston and the republican senate run off. purdue is up 50 to 49%, and the winner of today's run off faces saxby chambliss who is retiring

and we will keep you updated through the hour. new developments tonight. the state department's failure to secure things and ungodly. hillary state department had been warned not to take up residence in adjoining buildings and didn't take any action. christopher stevens and three others were killed as a result on september 11, 2012. adam housley has our report. >> multiple sources with direct knowledge of the 2012 terrorist attack in benghazi, libya, tell fox news that within three weeks of the renting the consulate compound, members moved into the house next door and then use that location just to the right

to plan an attack. one source telling fox that we warn them but nobody knew what to do and nothing was done. according to another intelligence source, american security personnel also asked for at machine-gun to mount on the roof for added protection and also for sandbags, but were turned down repeatedly because it would upset the locals and new shooting positions were pathetically unpleasing. this woman had this reaction to the report. >> it sounds pretty dubious to me. reporter: upon checking, senior officials tell us that a request came on august 22 and it was being considered on tripoli on the day of the attack. so to say that that was rejected is inaccurate. >> it's part of this administration's pattern of ignoring anyone, not realizing

that there were other terrorist groups and other islamic jihad is to rent a building next to it diplomatic property is just negligent. reporter: fox news has learned that the leader of this and the militia hired by the state department let benghazi today the attack ended on september 12. even as the consulate in annex were smoldering. lou: time is running out for congress to make a move on the request for nearly $4 billion in funding to deal with the border crisis and the house at seven working days before the recount will be five weeklong recess. speaker boehner says public will not support any additional money unless congress would also speed up the process for returning illegal immigrant children to their homes and countries of origin.

but democrats are now comparing illegal immigrant children to baby jesus, like nancy pelosi is >> baby jesus was a refugee from violent. so let's not turn away from these children and send them back into a burning building. so we have to do this in a way that honors them and honors our values. reporter: only 15% of those crossing the border are actually on the company children. the obama administration is admitting nearly all of the apprehended kids are being released to a custodian in the united states now, not being deported and that percentage being released is 95%. despite the administration's

claims that the crisis is slowing, a lawmaker says almost 10,000 people were apprehended crossing the border two weeks ago, more people than are born in texas each week. stocks moving higher, the dow jones up 60 to the s&p up 10, the nasdaq up 31. volume on the big word picking up 2.9 billion shares and the best performing sector today, still $104 per barrel, settling at $1308 at 2.7%. apple earnings topping iphone sales, preparing for the iphone come asking suppliers to manufacture up to 80 million new units. and shares surging after

3.4 billion, the largest bank acquisitions since 2012. listen to us has a post on the salem radio network. we're coming right back. >> u.s. supreme court said it was constitutional. one federal court says it isn't. another says it is. top attorneys lis wiehl and arthur aidala on obamacare arthur aidala on obamacare suture coming up

when folks think about what they get from alaska,

arthur aidala on obamacare suture coming up 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. lou: to federal courts issuing conflicting rulings on the legality of obamacare subsidies. here we go again, joining us now, two of the best attorneys in the country. criminal defense attorney arthur aidala, it's so good to have both of you here, lis wiehl, thank you for joining us.

>> we had the dc circuit coming out this morning saying that we are looking at the statute itself unless you have a state regulated agency, you can't do it and they tried to come through and say that we really thought the states are going to be involved, but they were only about 14 or 15 of them signed up. and so that means that everyone who signed up with this statue, they're not going to get that tax deduction. >> unless you go 1 mile away. >> this is the district of colombia, virginia, they are right next to each other, this shows you how convoluted and complicated this whole massive that you have six judges and theye anything. >> we know that this law is the

biggest mass probably in american history and we can't it a sensible cogent understanding of the thousands of pages of this thing. why don't they just surrender and say that we are going to do the responsible thing because the answer is vice president biden said this is really big [bleep] >> thank you for bringing back the joy of that moment. [laughter] >> this is that. >> when you have his own professor at harvard saying this, don't bet the farm on this, i mean, you have two conflicting appellate courts at the same level and that means that it's part of that. lou: if the supreme court sustains this month after these two can sort it out, then we now

know that it's not just that with this president and the democrats who pushed this. the judicial system itself is now a mass and needs some serious overhaul. >> elena kagan, one justice who is very liberal has ruled and wrote another opinion that she agrees with the idea that you cannot reinterpret a statute and you have to read the language of the statute. >> how soon will they rule? because i have to tell you that this affects one sixth of our economy. and tens of millions of people's lives. >> just. >> but right now the subsidies are not going away. and people are not going to lose their subsidies right now. lou: i cannot tell you how many

advocates for amnesty and open burgers i have heard. open borders. section 1825, isn't it time artisan and? barcode to crime. >> it is a crime and it always has been. >> bush and obama wouldn't prosecute. >> and prosecuted and reentered after deportation in many cases, someone comes in illegally and they come back again after deportation, there's criminal charges but no one is getting punished. >> why shouldn't you break the law? and people wonder why we are faced with this crisis center southern borders. it's good to see you.

i think the word is resplendent. thank you folks. not to the quotation of the evening, i believe that this may be fundamental to the times that we live in as a nation and it offers an important reminder if we need it. we are privileged to have this constitutional republic including what we must do to preserve it. it was patrick henry who said that the constitution is not an instrument to the government to restrain the people. it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government. plus they come to dominate our lives. up next, though clinton, a republican campaign operative

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: the word of the evening. a state of perplexity or uncertainty especially us what as to what to do. a quandary and a dilemma. bill clinton will was left in a quandary, we are told. he can help her with clinton win the presidency by diminishing his latest you. or sabotage her candidacy and remains a free man. our next guest details why clinton has a major power week. he is the online editor of "the weekly standard" and author of

the new book "clinton inc.", the audacious rebuilding of a political machine going on sale today. online and in bookstores everywhere. so how did they go from all of the travails to the elites in this country? >> a lot of people forget even though it's been a decade and a half that they left in a crowd of scandals and there was impeachment and the last-minute parting and the stealing of the furniture from the white house and that sort of thing. and so we could go on and on and spend the show on it. lou: not to mention glass-steagall. >> that's right. threatening to return the white house and the house was touring of the past and present and perhaps some of the problems they will face in the future. >> you assert that jeopardy that will weight the candidacy because of the president.

so what he really sabotage her campaign? to conserve his own legacy and freedom as you put it? >> it's not just based on guessing, i've spoken to aids and people who know the clinton family well and i have come to these conclusions are that reporting. so bill clinton, a lot of the aid to love him and think that he is a masterful lyrical genius, he made a series of mistakes in the 2008 campaign and it was so bad and so frequent that these aides couldn't help but wonder what if bill clinton in the back of his mind doesn't want hillary to be president. because becoming president diminishes his legacy. and she would be the first woman president or one do you think that that is a part of him stomaching this? we are also told that he is the one who encourages a reluctant hillary clinton to step forward

and picked up the mantle that he sees as a birth right of being in quentin? >> user complicated figures. the first time i heard the sudden we would either and that is why asked for questions and talk to more people. and anything that bill clinton did cheat on his wife and we all know this. this is public information and perhaps this is another one of cheating on his wife. they say once a cheater and always a cheater. >> without equivocation or qualification whatsoever, what kind of president you think what he made because it is a clear and it's an organization as well as a individual. bill clinton said one elected that you vote go for one that

you get to. >> yes, i'm making the case that you're getting three, hillary and bill and chelsea clinton, who is taken in outside controlling role in a moneymaking political enterprise lou: the author of a fascinating new book, "clinton inc.." it's available at stores everywhere and we recommended recommend it to you highly. congratulations. >> thank you so much. lou: it is time for a few of your comments. why is nobody from either political party asking why mexico is permitting the long transit of those kids to their country? and i have been asking exactly that. andrew says world is very unsafe and unstable and our president stands down and this is absurd. i think that it's worse than that. a copy of my new novel border were is out there. e-mail me at loudobbs.com and
