10:13 pm
receive medicine, and goods and so on. but hamas, is the party that is relick tareluctant to accept the question is, what needs to be done in order to systematically tackle this issue, hamas created a massive terrorist infrastructure in gaza. lou: we're all surprised and shocked at the sophisticateed tunnel network and difficulty with which the idf has encounters initially in trying through airstrikes to destroy it we're also looking at a great deal of violence, most of the world, understands well the facts of the matter, the chronicle of the matter, everyone seemingly but this president and which white house,
10:14 pm
which is strange. i have got to believe that -- deeply disturbing to the israeli government, that this president, would suggestion that the ceasefire is an appropriate strategy for a country urge siege. >> looking at big picture. you know people give credit to the iron dome system. it is important to mention, i mention it twicely. lou: so noted. >> it would not have been possible without support of american people, government and legislate or, we great for for, that it is an amazing system. it is near perfect, it allows us to intercept midair. lou: but with all respect i am not talking about iron dome, i am talking about a praep between twing about relationshipbetweens from the white house economy dangerous. -- they could be dangerous, in the only for israel.
10:15 pm
but for the region, and for the decades to come. this is a president who does not seem to be aware. of the challenges your nation faces, i would like to have a sense, our audience would like a sense of how you feel, your government feels, and will react? >> i think you will find a consensus in this of appreciation for overall support that we're geting from american people, over the years true. but sometimes there are differences of opinion on certain issues. but i think that does not really change the big picture, where the bond between the two country between the two governments is really unshake in. skpupb breainand unbreakible. >> one can you know passionately, deeply hope so. and prey so, but -- and pray so, but the words from this
10:16 pm
president are disturbing to many americans, they seem to forfeit, if you will, more than 60 years of history, between the two centuries, and unreserveed support for the state of israel, i think most americans would like to hear that support articulated by president obama. let's turn to the white house press spokesman. saying israel and their political leaders talk about high stand ads they put in pla place. based on publish reports. it is apparent there is more they should do to live up to standards they set. your reaction? >> well, i think this is perhaps the most transparent military operation of late. we do whatever we can to
10:17 pm
minimize loss of 9 innocent livs from fact that we actually call individual households we call individuals on their cell phones to provide them with sufficient early warning, to the fact that we have right now, as the sides are still fighting and battling on the ground, border crossing between israel and gaza is open, 100 trucks across the border of day. in to gaza, this is an unprecedented phenomenon on an army aiding the enemy in time of war, this is a war situation. in war, you have to understand, innocent people get hurt, sometimes, we don't don it intentionally we don't target civilians purposely. lou: far more would have been wounded or killd had not the iron dome been working. >> right, people forget of 700 or so reported deaths in gaza, a big portion of that number are
10:18 pm
actually, hamas terrorists. we don't count as innocent civilians. it is true when the innocent people get hurt we express our sorrow. we do our own investigations white well. our history, we have a impressive record with our ability to invest trade. -- investigate. lou: ambassador good to have you here. >> thank you. lou: thank you very much. time to take a look at our on-line poll results, we continue, we asked whether you believe president obama should be selling legal immigration status to wealthy foreigners, 96% of you seem to have a problem with that. saying no, we want to know what you think president obama should be spends most time on? on foreign policy? our economy? our illegal immigration?

10:20 pm
10:21 pm
10:22 pm
lou: coming up tonight, new details emergeing on president's unilateral plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, manhattan's institute heather mcdonald is joining us. but first a few comments about a brutal war wageed in washington. against some of our citizens. it is not the democratic party, contrive. playing so-called wara real, it
10:23 pm
is the -- war on women, it is the very real war against our middle class. organized labor, left and right wing activists, chamber and round table lobbyists for multinationals and big, big, all working against our middle class. and the very powerful and wealthy who insist on open borders and amnesty under the label of comprehensive immigration reform, and other deceptive labels as well. president obama, harry ride, john boehner, warren buffet, mark zuckerberg, bill gates. even now speaker boehner wants to pass immigration law as he
10:24 pm
sues president for his abuse of executive tower. in a "usa today" opet over the week, speaker boehner outlined at least 4 issues where the president acted outside of the bounds of law. heramazingly, speaker boehner, d not list immigration among those issues. even though his critics say one of the president's executive actions causeed crises on our southern border, many of the politicians and, executives clamors for amnesty, claim there is a labor shortage in this country. which is untrue. household network has fallen, wages have remained stagnant. the advocates insist there is a shortage of so-called stem degree holders. well, that is not true either.
10:25 pm
so says census bureau. they say 74% of those with stem degrees, are not employed in stem jobs. why then are folks like former microsoft ceo, found erbil gates -- bill gates calling for a unlimited number of high-tech guest worker visa, when microsoft itself have month, slashed 18,000 jobs from its workforce. another "usa today" op ed, a group of university professors led by howard university process proes es es from or wrote, as long time researchs of stem workforce, and immigration issue who have sep rah atry done anal ses on the issues -- separately done an alcees on the issue, we feel compelled to report that none of us, none of us.
10:26 pm
has been able to find any credible evidence to support the i-t industry's assersions of labor shortages. our only hope, in high opinion is that our elected representatives in washington are listening, i hope you are making them listen to your voice. and hope they awaken to the agendav this administration and much of our establishment in this country. and i hope that you will refuse to be aligned with and i hope those elected officials will refuse to be aligned with, any part of the per fed that' perfis being perpetrateed on all of american, president obama is not only intend on granting amnesty but on bringing in millions more. and our president, and his like minded coy ports -- cohorts,
10:27 pm
cross the political struc spect. will not be dissuadeed because their action defies public opinion. or defies a national interest or defies the law. up next. promising new poll show harry reid could lose his leadership in senate, former house speaker dennis hastert is 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? and with that in mind...
10:28 pm
when folks think about wthey 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 americ
10:29 pm
10:30 pm
you. lou: midterm election is 100 days away and "the wall street journal" predicting republicans could take as many as 10 seats in the senate. we have a new fox poll tonight showing 47% of interested voters would vote for the republican candidate if the election were held today. for someone who democrat.
10:31 pm
here to talk about the upcoming midterms and the unfinished business on capitol hill, and there is loss of it, john boehner comes to mind is an open issue. i am joined by the former speaker of the house. it is great have you with us. >> thank you. it's nice to be with you. we want to read the words of john boehner from his opera, this is not about executive orders but about nuclear congress and future president. is that really -- is that really what it's about? >> well, the bush administration, i assured them when the attorney general came in and broke into the office with three tv cameras of a member, regardless of the member being innocent or not, there was a separation of power and we took it to the supreme court and we won.
10:32 pm
so to keep the separation of policy is important and i follow speaker boehner's point on that issue and i think that he has am relevance there. lou: do you think of them as sufficient standing to the point where he can get forward and then prevail? >> i think that he has standing, i won't second-guess the supreme court and we'll see how they decide. but when someone else is making the legislative decisions other than the congress, i think that there is a problem when this country is in that situation. >> when he provides for a humanitarian crisis that many critics claim he created, we are watching a billion dollar bill, we are told, moving through the
10:33 pm
congress and apparently the speakers in the mood to give him a billion dollars for a crisis that he created so whatever expression you prefer. and that is pretty convoluted optics is not? >> after seeing what happens, the congress as it always is the to the well and sometimes the speaker doesn't always get the vote that he is a part of. i think congress feels very much affronted and i think there will be a lot of debate over this happens. it's not in easy issue like everyone is getting it up to being. lou: >> the issue seems to be how many feats of republicans are
10:34 pm
going to win some say, as they often do, that the republicans can screw this thing up although it's clear that the president dutch a head start. >> i think that this election is all about the headwind of what the president is doing in the tailwind for republicans. and i think there's a lot of people who feel affronted for the next 10 years. lou: are you shocked by the most recent polls and he would prevail if the election were held today rather than in november 2012. >> that shows how and i think
10:35 pm
there's a lot of common sense of what he brought to the table. you the bottom line and he was able to make it work and i happen to be the vice chairman or the cochairman of the olympics and he came in here with this sheer force of power and turned it around. and i think we missed the vote. lou: we appreciate you sharing your point of view and a reminder to vote on our online poll tonight who do you think the president obama should be spending the most time went? foreign policy? perhaps the economy or as of recently, illegal immigration?
10:36 pm
sender responds that lou dobbs news. going fierce and i about the ebola virus that have infected to americans. and an american docker in this station worker are fighting for their lives against the disease that has no cure and can be easily transmitted through bodily fluids. this outbreak is the worst in history and it killed 660 people in many places and recently spread to nigeria. we are coming right back. >> president obama may be ready to give amnesty to 5 million more illegal immigrants. the head of the possibilities executive actions coming up

10:40 pm
lou: we will be talking with heather mcdonald in just a moment about the prospect of executive orders by the president that will bestow amnesty unilaterally at the presidents when a 5 million illegal immigrants. we will be talking with her about that and the s&p is up a fraction come in the nasdaq is down five points. volume on the big word is down 2.5%. crude oil some of the low $142 per barrel. and so the yield on the ten-year rising to 2.9%. home sales fell more than 1%
10:41 pm
dollar tree making a purchase, about 175 million for a short-term investment and truly a surging 15%, and a reminder to listen to my financial report three times a day coast-to-coast on the salem radio network. president obama will consider action that could grant is to 5 million illegal immigrants resident status. plus the constitutional process by which we pass laws. joining us now is senior fellow contributing editor heather mcdonald. it's great to have you with us. lou: do you believe the president is someone you know, that he would have the temerity
10:42 pm
to the unilaterally bestow amnesty after it has been just about a minor minute effort to pass laws that have been rejected in the senate been rejected by congress? >> it certainly looks like it. i am stunned and flabbergasted and we are at a moment that is very critical in this country both for our immigration process and for simply the constitutional framework of government. obama seems to believe that if congress does not pass laws that he won from the past that he has the of ability to do it on his own. when you ignore the rule of law, what you get is more lawbreaking. we have these amazingly preposterous suggestions granting more amnesty and the one that i love the most is that we are now thinking about granting amnesty to the appearance of the so-called dreamers and these are the
10:43 pm
minors who were granted amnesty by obama on the theory that as children brought into the country by their parents, they have no responsibility for their lawbreaking so they should have legal status. so obama granted them legal status on the theory that they were a limited category. now the another proposal is to grant amnesty to their parents. and they were the ones who did knowingly break the law so the rule now is going to be bring a child a legally -- illegally in you will get amnesty to. lou: that is a loud and clear message that has an emanating from the white house literally for years now. so let's turn to the idea that illegal immigrants are now picketing the white house because they want to have representation, direct representation, if you're welcome in the of and ration.
10:44 pm
so what is a reaction to that demand? >> a sense of entitlement is extraordinary. so this is absurd, here they are having meetings with the white house presenting lists of demands. there is no ending that process. so we have state after state and city after city making it as easy as possible to be here illegally and they get away with it. so everyone gets away with breaking the law. and then what we have, as we said, no more does region between illegal and legal
10:45 pm
immigration. sumac isn't it interesting that we have a president whose administration is effectively carrying out a vast and well-organized campaign against the american people themselves that there is deportation and that they did not fictionalized the number that is being deported and at the same time that this is some sort of accident when we issued the deferred action on deportations in 2012 the rise to the current number expected to be 90,000 children unaccompanied, but they really, and 85% of the cases, they have members of their family with them. lie after lie after another and
10:46 pm
no one, it seems to me, wants to answer the question. why would the united states bringing these millions of folks when we have an entitlement to welfare system that is broken and the entitlement system and the welfare system is broken and we have people whose salaries are going down and not up and if it were scarcity of labor we would labor price is rising. >> yes, we certainly want to. so the economic side of this which is counterintuitive to the left who claims income inequality in wages of the working class, and think that is supply and demand is a big issue and one that really does stand for in the rule of law in this country. it's an insult to those who came
10:47 pm
here through normal processes and respected our laws, the people who came in illegally are now demanding that they basically get to make immigration policy for the american people. the you're right but blame is much more widespread. it's in every city in this country and every state capital is also trying to out at the obama administration in putting down the welcome mat for people here illegally and saying that we want to be given every single right that we possibly can that people here in actual americans departed this. lou: rahm emanuel only wants a thousand of these illegal
10:48 pm
immigrants, and then perhaps those would bring them into malibu or other areas, westchester county, the list goes on and perhaps washington dc in self. heather, thank you for being with us because we appreciate it. >> thank you. lou: the quotation of the evening on the definition of amnesty. the magnanimity to those offenders to whom it would be too expensive to punish. somewhat cynical, don't you think? now to the box office. the scarlet johansson movie "lucy" shattering expectations,
