this week. for m.k. hammer and kmele foster, i'm matt welch. good night. you guys spending every weekday with us. right now, here is the best, lou dobbs. coming your way. lou: good evening, everybody. president obama wrapping up his meeting with the president of honduras and president of ramallah and the president of el salvador's moments ago. those three nations responsible for the tens of thousands of illegal immigrant children and their families crossing our borders this year. president ignore the reality that those three presidents have filled their own people, exporting their country's poverty to the united states and in many cases forfeiting their national futures. mr. obama without any sense of absurdity or soon use the occasion to blame house republicans for the consequences of his immigration executive

action of orders and his refusal to secure our southern border. the three central american presidents waived their role as our president declared the border crisis he created can now only be solved by speaker boehner and house republicans. >> i briefed my fellow presidents that this is working its way through congress and i just want to mention that it is my hope that speaker boehner and house republicans will not leave town for the month of august for their vacations without doing something to help solve this problem. >> the white house also confirmed the pilot program that would grant refugee status to minors from honduras and that proposal include a screening process for thousands of hundred children who still remain in honduras. critics say that this will only

increase the number of illegal immigrant children coming across the border. and housing an additional 5000 immigrant miners being housed at department of defense facilities. this in addition to the nearly 4000 illegal immigrants being housed on military bases. dan pfeiffer doing his best impression of propaganda claiming that if congress won't vote for what president obama demands, and there can only be one interpretation of their refusal. saying that the refusal would amount to a surrender of the constitutional power and thereby would transfer their power to the executive branch, giving president obama permission to use his executive authority.

claiming that a major executive order will come at the end of next month. >> i'm not going to get into details that may or may not be coming around out there. he says that he wants to take executive action, he's waiting for them to come back to him throughout the end of the summer and we're not there yet. >> incredible that even the left-leaning website is taking note if not exceptions about the outrageous assertions of unconstitutional conduct by the president and his administration. entitled obama's immigration folk rock, saying that he insisted for years that he had no legal authority and none whatsoever to slow deportations on a broadside. he said he pledges to use

executive powers by the and of e white house lapdog , mike huckabee is here in moment about the president's leadership and the responsibility for prices that our southern border. the obama administration finding no more success in dealing with other matters in israel's security cabinet tonight unanimously rejecting secretary of state kerry's cease-fire proposal. but they didn't agree to a 12 hour cause for humanitarian relief. secretary kerry says that he's not giving up on a permanent truth despite the defense minister about plans to widen the gaza ground operation. correspondent conor powell in

gaza city tonight with our reporter. reporter: is israel and hamas decision-makers that a cease-fire proposal international negotiators was discussed today, the fighting in gaza showed no signs of letting up. they announced that a soldier hamas claimed to have captured is in fact dead. efforts to end the violence has collapsed in israel's security cabinet rejected john kerry's entire proposal. and it allowed israel to keep its truth and gaza. it would have likely have rejected the proposal. >> why are we not announcing this tonight, for a simple reason. that we still have some terminology in the context of the framework of the word truth.

>> in recent days the way to rocket fire has slowed down from gaza. more than 2000 rockets have been fired at israel. israel has targeted dozens of launching sites and says that they killed many of the fighters including demolishing some 31 tunnels that israel says would be used for infiltration to attack civilians. but it is those who have paid a high price during the 18 day conflict. 840 people have been killed in gaza, mostly civilians and many of them are children. in the violence also is spilling over into the west bank were thousands of palestinians took to the streets protesting the israeli military option. at least five people were killed in a demonstration and for now the fighting continues as does the effort to end it. it's not clear how long this will last, but the defense

minister has already warned that the military is aching about expanding its operations here in gaza, so there is a chance that it could escalate after the cease-fire. lou: a cease-fire along way frt. officials reveal more information about russia's direct involvement with pro-russian separatist. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff warned that the security landscape in europe, as the one there, has changed significantly because of a the clever putin's actions. he compared him to joseph stalin. >> you know that you have a russian government that has made the conscious decision to use its military force inside of another sovereign nation to achieve its objectives. the first time since 1939 event has been the case. lou: escalated military action

continues as u.s. intelligence reports imminent delivery of a multi-rocket launching system to the separatists. steve harrigan is on the ground and he has our report. >> the shooting down a flight 17 late 17 would lead to a cease-fire between ukrainian forces in russian backed rebels were wrong. the reverse is true, nearly five months after crimea, and escalation with russian military forces intervening. firing from inside russian territory. >> they invaded a foreign country and ukrainians have a responsibility to protect their citizens in their territory, which is what they're doing. >> fighting has nearly stopped in the investigation of the site and plans to secure the area with policemen are under discussion eight days after the disaster. a small team of investigators

continues to discover human remains at the scene. >> the dutch have documented this from very small areas of human remains over their. >> in the meantime, 74 coffins were met by 74 persis. it could take several days to determine how many more bodies remain at the crash site. >> we thank you. much more on the situation in israel and ukraine leader in this broadcast we will be talking with general jack keane. on wall street today, stocks closing lower and the dow jones fell 123-point and the s&p lost 10 points and the nasdaq down 23. volume $2.6 billion on the big board, falling to 2.7%.

listen to my financial report everyday on the salem radio network. we we're coming right back, stay with us. >> the president's approval rating drops to 39%, started use his phone and 10. this time as house republicans don't do what he wants about immigration and the border. mike huckabee joins us

lou: dan fletcher pointing out the concerns of the approval rating which now sit at 39% just above the all-time lw.

liketo play major r in miterm etionsno01 and the pplemental spnding that house rlicans areconsideri wil probabl come in at under a billion dollars. it will be directed exclusively toward border security. joining us is host of huckabee hucthe fox news channel, mike thu. lou: no borders? >> no, no borders. someone comes to a stopping point and they have to be checked and they have to be determined whether they should get in or not based on do you have a passport or a communicable disease or are you a criminal. when you don't make that check,

you don't have a border crisis. lou: on the border everyone seems very happy in this white house, it leaves, for tens of thousands of people from el salvador or guatemala. but that is the exploitation of poverty and they have dependence on the entitlement system and so what are your thoughts? >> was just assume that they are escaping and we are saving them as we would from vietnam were other times and assume not for a minute. that is not a crisis, the crisis is not that we have some nine year olds coming, but we have some 19-year-old coming with

some heavy artillery and we know that this is a child, this is a child, this is a drug dealer and he doesn't get in. we are making no distinction, we are just and everyone come on in. lou: now we are learning that this isn't about unaccompanied children, this is about children who are coming in with their mothers and families and adults only about 15 to 20% of the illegal immigrants crossing the border are children. though it is without question being perpetrated by white house that will not acknowledge a role in causing this crisis. loosely using this.

>> it is a great industry and we are creating a lot of jobs and unfortunately they are all illegal and they are going to people that we should not be empowering, but that's what we are doing. the president thinks it is such an urgent crisis that is going to check out and take a month-long vacation. lou: and you know that he's been under a lot of strain, raising all that money on the west coast. but the republican party finds it in a bit of a quagmire and he is talking about a billion dollars to deal with the crisis of the president created said that he doesn't trust that president. can get anymore bizarre.

>> the only thing that makes it more bizarre is that congress will go ahead and take their vacation and it just doesn't make sense to me. i think someone needs to up up and pretend to be an adult release for a few days and say that we have so many things that are going on. i wouldn't call the fire department say i hope it's okay when i get back in three weeks. that's what you do when you have a job. i do think americans who have jobs were expected to propel their responsibilities are looking at the president and the congress and saying do your job and go to work. soon he is talking about how it is a purge who he must deal with from time to time but only on a whim. >> i think that he loves the celebrity nature of the job and certainly have that. but i don't think that he likes governing because it's very hard

work and it's done behind the scenes and i'm quietly where people don't really see you do the heavy lifting involved or that i just don't think he cares much for that part of it. lou: we are told that he doesn't much care for people either. as the one it is good have you with us. >> thank you for having me. lou: be sure to join in on fox news channel saturday and sunday night at 8:00 p.m. eastern. coming up next, john stossel joins us next for a look at security versus liberty. his new special on policing

lou: what is the reaction? >> you would think that the democrats would object to it, but they haven't. and everyone likes the police, up.ave some republicans bring you are right, the people who are victimized are often the powerless and mike huckabee said this is a really good issue and you are passionate about it.

but it is that struggle with liberty and security. and there is something that is to be said for ending up with neither. >> he should have said that and i have given him credit and his facebook friend status set up the joke and if they had gone to

his facebook, to goof around, instead a s.w.a.t. team shows up in all of these men are dressed in black. if it happens, people have a gun and then they are waking up and you will likely grab the gun. lou: the special is 10:00 o'clock tomorrow evening on the fox news channel. >> sent ups guy with a package. or, you want a contest, come collect you are winning. lou: john stossel, consultant who want enforcement nationwide. we are coming right back, with retired four-star general jack keane.

then and a belief that those general principles of christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of god. to the crisis between ukraine and russia escalating. more heavy artillery weaponry from the russians to the rebels in ukraine is imminent. more on the crisis in ukraine and the middle east, we are joined by retired four-star general former army vice chief of staff, also fox news military analyst. general, first let me turn to the idea of a cease-fire in the israeli samos' conflict. it seems that there was no point to such a proposal for the israelis to exceed all. your thoughts. >> well, i am convinced that nets and data very reluctantly

moved ground forces into gaza but believed he had to because nothing appeared it was going to stop the daily rocket fires. no he's there. think he clearly has a military objective that he wants to accomplish. to eliminate the tunnels, 30 because of them. those are the tunnels that tomas was using to enter israel to create havoc in conduct terrorist activities. member to come to destroy as much of this rocket infrastructure as you possibly can. i am convinced he does not want to have been made that commitment to leave prematurely. he wants to accomplish otherwise he is back dealing with this in six months to a year again. that is the pressure reveals, not only for members of the political process but also his people. >> he seemed to have the political support of the israelis. he seemed to have lived service to the right of israel to defend

itself within some contingency clauses following the administration's words. is it not a strange time in which anyone would suggest that a military operation should be suspended or halted before achieving objectives? that is, it seems to me, the height of absurdity. >> it does not make any sense. they are sensitive to this and use it. it is a horrific organization. this is an organization that is trying to kill civilians with their rockets and use as their own civilians and the sense as weapons. they use them as shields. they actually want the casualties to rise because pressure comes from the international community on the israelis. , says using the casualties as a weapon. the fact of the matter is the

israelis are conducting a military operation. i think they're going to completed. >> turning to the other initiative on the part of this of ministration command that is the nuclear talks, the extension of that deadline possibly know cover of all two israelis, nor should it be to the world community given that there is no restriction of any kind on producing weapons-grade uranium, maintaining centrifuges. >> when you look at this from the israeli perspective, i think they are frustrated and at times are depressed. hezbollah to the north of sophisticated technology, a loss with the same, but supplied by iranians and have them to these try to develop a nuclear weapon. the fact of the matter is the these are terribly challenging times with the israelis.

the big difference for them is they don't have the united states big shoulder to rely on in dealing with these initiations. it is well known that nekton matter is very concerned at the end united states in its desire and urgency to make a deal will make any deal, make a lousy deal but eventually will get a nuclear iran. that is the elephant in the room. daniel and knows that. he thinks that is the fact they are on. that is depressing. lou: and all they have the golan is the experience of watching the united states as it was true and is withdrawing forces from afghanistan. it is -- and without in any way constraining iran and the proxy organizations that do its bidding.

>> absolutely. the united states to the fact of the matter is, we are disengaging when the middle east all of our allies know it. the closest ally we have is the israelis. they saw as a result of what took place in libya, iraq, afghanistan, our fearless approach, crossing the red line and doing nothing about it, the fact of the matter is american power is weak in the area they have a sense of boldness about them. the rise of isil is all very real. the situation in the middle east is so much more dangerous now than it was for five years ago. it is quite extraordinary. >> and tell me very quickly, another 12,000 russian troops supposedly on the border. we are told by the pentagon and state department spokesperson is without any evidence nor would

they provide that evidence that they have conclusive proof that russian artillery is firing into the ec ukraine. where are we headed? >> i think he has recalculated and come up with the same answer. he will be able to do what he wants. he and next crimean through intimidation and no consequence. he has conducted an unconventional war. his people are in charge of the war. he has armed the separatists and rebels. a temporary setback when an airliner gets brought down. almost 300 people are killed tragically in that situation. he boldface lies about it then tells the world that the ukrainians did it. year to date there is no accountability or attribution or blame assessed for what russia is the near and setting the conditions and then lying about the incident itself. so he is back to conducting and

directing an unconventional war. having assessed the situation that nothing of any consequence is going to happen and he will move on to his geopolitical objectives which is to dominate and control eastern ukraine. lou: thank you for being here. more fallout in the plagiarism scandal rocking the race for u.s. senate seat in the state of montana. the "washington post" fact checker getting democratic incumbent senator john welch of montana for pinocchio's, the worst rating. it sounds rather benign but is tough stuff -- over his claim that is plagiarize 2007 master's thesis was an unintentional mistake. politicians including ted kennedy, vice president biden, senators rand paul, richard blumenthal survive sheeting and plagiarism scandal. the loss was already running 13 points behind his republican opponent before this plagiarism scandal emerged.

the controversy could have a real impact on democratic efforts to keep control the senate this fall. they are lacking badly. we're coming right back. no deal or cease fire. rejecting as the battle rages on the "a-team" on secretary carries impossible mission. ♪

than normal recovery not a slow recovery as we normally have. the nominal gdp would be less than we expect. i think when the recovery starts to take hold again we will see a acceleration. lou: what are the size you're looking for that the recovery has taken hold? >> not only me but every economist is looking for the side that a "chalk talk". com broadbased the quality is. usually until investment kicks in it is not a durable, dependable, sustainable recovery lou: there is a lack here. corporations and the u.s. multinationals are not repatriating capitol, they are not incentivizes do so. at least none of the goodness of their art. until we see business investment jobs are not going to be created. until we see strong business investment, as you say go we are not going to see the upper

they're not middle class jobs that have traditionally been the stalwart of the foundation of this country. it is its transition in the economy, the transition in political thinking and social reality that most people really are not aware. >> everyone wants to go into the middle-class. every emerging market economy with the development of glass which means consumption of goods primarily at the service level which is what we're going to help do, supply the service that we are american middle-class. lou: political party is a listing right now. let's turn to your outlook. next week we're going to get your views on second quarter gdp we going to be pleased to disappointed with the remainder? >> every discipline now we have ever had his been about history. looking forward we really are optimistic. we think we can get a handle. of the shameful things about the

some ways more vicious even then some terrorist groups tunneling into the united states and there has been a response by the u.s. government. your thoughts on israel and netanyahu his seems to have support to carry out this operation against tomas targets in gaza. your thoughts. >> my thoughts are that netanyahu should stop the aggression against tomas when there is no light at the end of the tunnel. israel has to make sure that all those tunnels are destroyed because as the general said shortly before on your show, if they stop now they will only live to fight another day. israel cannot afford that. they have an opportunity. the need to go for a. lou: the radical islamists, we are shoulder to shoulder with israel in the war against radical islamist terror. but we have set a terrible, terrible signal to terrorist

groups and those who sponsor them because we basically put the war in afghanistan without destroying the taliban and and the terrorist organizations that were responsible for 2001 september 11th. i mean, where are we now in this war and terror in which we don't want to mention the fact that the terrorists are radical islamists. >> israel has a duty as the only democracy in that region when the middle east is in melt down to show what a nation should be doing. america will live to fight another day of we don't stand with israel and contain at least what is happening around zero because we will live to fight another day. america better is smart and understand we planified them

it is sickening to see this administration and then say we want you to be constrained. they did not even mentioned, send their earliest constraint. >> well, the fact of the matter is that look at what obama has done in the reaction. can you imagine the israeli prime minister going out and playing golf after september september 11th? what message does that send to our enemies directive fact that the president did not swing into action with the full throated support and is chairman only by words but actions is amazing to me. if anything, the reason why we do not have a cease-fire from ids collision is because they are given a free hand by statements like what kelly said. a lousy, and pointed attack three is an interloper in negotiations because he has no

respect for power and says to the people of the moss, we're going to give you humanitarian aid. >> that has been on the ground and west bank. a huge differential. you look at gdp. it is the leaders. the west bank relatively speaking is much wealthier. it's a waste of human capital. lou: it is also the responsibility. there is no shield that can keep iran from its responsibility in supporting hamas, hezbollah, and a global war and terror. appreciated. time now for a few of your comments. mary tweeted me to say, everything this administration does is political motivated. somewhat cynically, but perhaps appropriately talking about the republicans talking about six senate seats.
