thank you for spending your 6:00 o'clock hour with us. you don't want to miss a moment of the program. in the meantime, let's jump on the bandwagon of lou dobbs. lou: good evening, everyone. in just under two hours the sun will that on ferguson, missouri, where officials and more than 20,000 residents are bracing for what may be yet another night of violence and chaos and there have been 10 days of clashes between demonstrators and rioters and looters and law enforcement. police dealt with looters with two fires being said. police arrested nearly 80 people. mike tobin is in ferguson with the very latest for us on last
7:01 pm
night's clashes and what we can expect tonight. >> tour what begins as a public expression of frustration of police treatment of black people gives way to clashes. two people were shot by police, but by criminals, although officers again resorted to heavy crowd control equipment and tactical teams pinpointed, blocking people from the crowd and arrest records show 70 people arrested, only four of them from ferguson, 18 from out-of-state, supporting the claim that outsiders show up to make trouble. >> i feel like were going to make this neighborhood whole, we're going to make this community whole and we're going to do it together. i'm not going to let the criminals that have come out here and we're live in this community to find this neighborhood and what we're going to do to make it right.
7:02 pm
reporter: the looting spread and demos were caught on security video on sunday night first time the door open and then scrambling in a frenzy to collect cigarettes and booze. in the morning volunteers from the community is quietly say many have used the death of mike brown as an excuse to grab something or free or just to destroy it. >> we came here looting. reporter: with the national guard on scene, none of the tactics employed by officials have been able to prevent the violent and instruction. and so community leaders and churches are putting up a call for lawful protesters to demonstrate during the day. >> the main demonstrators, i would advise that when it gets to be sundown that we just go on
7:03 pm
and get some rest at this point until we can gain control. reporter: one of the demands of the county prosecutors that down from this case and governor jay nixon has the power to remove him. the republican has art he squared off with the state takeover of the situation. it has been called disgraceful. lou: so far the president calls for calm have had no effect in ferguson. many of the radical activist are saying that the violence will not end until charges are
7:04 pm
brought against the police officer who shot and killed him. more than a dozen witnesses support the officers claim that michael brown charged the police officers. it was announced today that brown's funeral is planned for this coming monday. and israel pulling out of the talks being held in cairo, resuming air strikes that after taras wrote a temporary cease-fire launching a barrage of rockets into southern israel.
7:05 pm
>> israeli military strikes hit targets in gaza tonight, including where palestinian reports of a little girl injured. israeli fighter jets struck more than 2000 targets, breaking the extended cease-fire eight hours ahead of the deadline. the rockets that were fired sent locals running for cover, knowing the payback was on its way. the hostility prompted benjamin netanyahu to order the israeli delegation to pack their bags and return home. and hamas denied responsibility for breaking the truce but showed off more tunnels today, adding that if israel wants to continue the war, the fighters are ready.
7:06 pm
>> we are ready for all option. and we are at war and we use what we have left. reporter: with estimates of more than 11,000 buildings flattened since the start of this conflict, some people are staying in their homes on top of them many have been coming back in the day to take advantage of the shade and go through their possession and trying to salvage what they can from the rubble and also because this is where they are most comfortable.
7:07 pm
and then we watched as israel's iron dome intercepted those rockets and knock them out of the sky. no word on when those peace talks might resume, but compromise seems a long ways off. we will have more on the breach of the future and we will be talking with kt mcfarland here coming up. and turning to the latest on the iraqi military a launching a major air and ground offensive to retake the city from radical islamist terrorists. and the military says it
7:08 pm
conducted two more airstrikes earlier this morning and a pentagon spokesman says the obama administration is not engaging in this anorak. >> the operations are inside operator operations and we will continue to move forward. and if there is a need for more airstrikes in conjunction with either of those two missionaries , we will conduct them. >> all of the chemical weapons stockpiles have now been destroyed. and the death toll from the old world's worst outbreak is

lou: breaking news tonight, rick perry has turned himselflocal a,
7:13 pm
texas, to be booked on two felony counts of abuse of power, charges that his attorneys have called out land -- outlandish. and even the liberal "new york times" editorial board is standing with the governor defending rick perry and this appears to be the product of an overzealous prosecution and many are standing with governor. and these charges. and prosecutors began presenting evidence in the shooting death of michael brown to a grand jury tomorrow morning. here to help us understand the complex legal proceeding and what is happening up to this point, joining us is lis wiehl
7:14 pm
and author of the new book a deadly business, attorney mercedes colwin. so let's start with the prosecution of the governor in texas. david axelrod, all of them calling it preposterous. >> the abuse of power, just about every politician could be brought up on the similar charges. it's definitely some sort of political underpinning to these charges and there's no evidence there's abuse of power and there are taxpayer situation so they can come forward and say that we didn't use the money for taxpayers wisely. >> he said the right thing come which means that they have to go forward and they have to go through what is going through now, turning himself turned himself in and getting fingerprinted and all that stuff. but whether they will do this and hold up, the prosecutor has
7:15 pm
to prevent this and they signed off on this situation. lou: someone had to present this to the grand jury at the incipient point of this matter, looking like another bathroom and outrageously. >> first of all no one articulates anything other than this. lou: what's turned where we have not heard from, whether there will be charges against ferguson, missouri, police officer. dan wilson, who shot and killed as 18-year-old michael brown. now three autopsies will have been completed on his body. so what in the world is going on? because that would be the
7:16 pm
answer. have you ever heard of this? >> now. but we are talking about states, local, federal, and also the family and so you have all of those things and the lot is if you have someone who is in charge of the body and they say yes, you can go ahead, it's crazy to. lou: the st. louis medical person usually you see two and you get involved in the feds are getting involved. what he is looking at is a civil rights violation. >> holder could abuse this reform been doing this just sounds --
7:17 pm
lou: political exploitation and ferguson? >> exactly. there is so much we don't know right now. >> we are rushing to judgment on a lot in. a lot of people are saying that this is an execution. so what evidence is there. lou: without 1 inch of evidence, we have al sharpton who is trying to insight, it seemed, a riot. >> from a legal standpoint you have to get rid of all that. lou: what i am is a citizen who like the audience is interested in why in the world this is being allowed to be perceived in the way this. >> there is a crime that was committed, if there was, charges will be pressed and then he will
7:18 pm
be prosecuted, but we don't know anything. we don't know all of that stuff. lou: do we realize that there are no facts in this case at this point? >> there are so many different ideas. and we also have a governor who is upset because the police department released video that shows michael brown just minutes before he was shot and killed strong arming a convenience store owner or employee. >> that video will never see the light of day. >> at that point that the officer have a reasonable plea in his head?
7:19 pm
was he in danger? was anyone else in danger? >> why are there not consequences to the way people behave. i'm not talking about the rioters or the looters were the demonstrators and there are no consequences to this. gore has moved in. [talking over each other] >> and we have to start looking at the history and you have to want to see that. to not show you? there is a defamation lawsuit. and they have gathered up under the bandwagon and honestly they
7:20 pm
were not. lou: is there any way in which to assert law and order and reason. lou: where are the political leaders? >> it's all over and done. i know one prosecutor who was disbarred and etc., long after the fact. were still in the fact seeking area right now. we don't know. >> no one is going to take on those individuals. lou: okay, ladies, thank you so much. good to have you both here. both of you wearing green today. >> i know, i know. [laughter] lou: if you believe the obama administration intervention and ferguson, missouri, is likely to
7:21 pm
temper raised tensions? enter our online poll, 95% said yes, it will raise tensions. vote in tonight's poll. our president obama and attorney general eric holder seeking a rare investigation of the shooting or have they projected the outcome? caster bodo loudobbs.com. and one of the nation's largest health care systems is notifying 4.5 millions of its patients that it's personal information may have been stolen. chinese hackers apparently gaining access to servers in april and june, obtaining valuable information like names, social security numbers, addresses, dates of earth, and phone numbers, it's the second biggest hipaa breach in history.
7:22 pm
coming up next, obama's redline, and why people are running away from the president. t in your mu? t in your mu? yeah... i do... try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates.
7:23 pm
7:24 pm
7:25 pm
lou: coming up tonight, block oster revelations from the best-selling author of the "blood feud", the author ed klein joins us tonight. dennis hastert is also here. the reasons that democrats are afraid to bash governor rick perry despite his indictment. if you thought someone many people around the world see now is a spectacle of urban setting. the spectacle much like a train wreck that is at once tragic and from which i cannot be at averted. this is a humbling moment for america and large measure because our national leadership out black humility for so long calling on the united states to concentrate on solving is own problem and russia's foreign minister taking the opportunity
7:26 pm
to advise the obama administration to pay more attention to restoring order in their own country before imposing their dubious experience on other nations. and egypt's leadership has not forgotten the president obama once in this did hosni mubarak moscow. and they echoed a favorite line of his often repeated foreign policy officials urging restraint in ferguson. in the president's own party certainly has. the white house says that there are no immediate plans for president obama to travel to ferguson are anywhere near that town, nonetheless democratic candidate and party officials are telling the president to stay away. senator claire mccaskill calling
7:27 pm
a presidential visit a bad idea. the congressman saying that it would add another distortion to the situation. we don't want any more distortions. other democrats are flat-out running from this president. he reread, astonished at how disengaged president obama seems. obama dismiss concerns about mitch mcconnell and his blocking of obama nominee is. the president telling her he read that you and mitch need to work it out and that's according to "the new york times" which also reports that mr. obama is remarkably distant from his own party on capitol hill with lawmakers and staffers an activist attorney general
7:28 pm
writing and looting the politics of exploitation. not the stuff of which solutions would like to be out and hope and change. we're coming right back. lou: coming up next, months russian led aggression on the game that vladimir putin is paying
7:29 pm
7:30 pm
7:31 pm
lou: the kremlin today announced russian president vladimir putin will meet with his to crating counterpart next week for the first time in two months. they will hold bilateral talks in belarus while attending a regional summit that will include top european union officials. four months of clashes between the ukraine government and pro russian separatists that have so far killed more than 2,000
7:32 pm
people. fighting between israel and hamas intensifying after israel suspended truce talks over was violated the ceasefire and for more on this situation and israel and ukraine and iraq we are joined by fox news national security analyst at k.t. mcfarland. more hamas rockets maurer israeli retaliation any prospect at all of a lasting ceasefire could be attained? >> no. the sole reason for being is it will not negotiate and they don't have the normal cycle they have had in the past to stock up been under attack by israel and they stock up again. why? is not the tunnels between
7:33 pm
israel and and gaza but gaza and egypt that is how hamas has been reinforced every time. they go from egypt into gaza but the egyptians have closed the tunnel so they will not get resupplied like they have in the past. they go for broke. lou: israel has the capability is what will happen and it? >> the only play hamas wins is by losing. they know we will not defeat israel militarily but if they can get enough civilian casualties. lou: that still holds up because the european meeting has been slapped back even less than before that tries to have the sympathy movement within europe for
7:34 pm
hamas. hasn't it destroyed its credibility to give away the prospect? >> absolutely. a couple weeks ago the world is really were overreacting and now every other time there has been one day have rushed to condemn israel but they're not doing it now. there is a deafening silence they look at the muslim brotherhood, i wracking and think they may be next so now you're seeing more hesitation on the part of the moderate suny states that provides opportunity. lou: russian leadership meeting with officials in attendance and is this the framework for a lasting rapprochement from the ukraine and russia? >> not on ukraine's terms.
7:35 pm
it is not a military story. russia knows there is enough destabilization with european union, germany, the united states they will not back ukraine. it is a basket case economically. they gave loans and loan forgiveness and bailouts and they will not get it if they are not stable so wide to the russians meet with them? i think they will sale be a long cold winter we cut off hour national gas deliveries and we will reinstate them if we have more accommodation on your part ukraine. they're leaving the door open but i don't think russia will invade ukraine or ukraine and survive economically unless it finds accommodations with russia. lou: but europeans? the survival of ukraine? >> at what price? we have just read reports the european economy flat wind.
7:36 pm
for them to be as generous the us a couple months ago because without political sensibility with ukraine. lou: good to have you k.t. mcfarland. a reminder to vote are president obama and attorney general holder seeking a full and fair investigating - - investigation of the shooting or have they already prejudged the outcome? a new study out ranks of states you get the most bang for the buck according to the tax foundation $100 goes the farthest in mississippi roots reduce it to buy $116 worth of goods and services relative to the national average. also get the most from
7:37 pm
alabama and south dakota $100 buys the least in the nation's capital, washington d.c. about $85 worth followed by hawaii, new york, new jersey jersey, california. we will be right back. governor rick barry turns himself into authorities after he was indicted. the texas governor getting unlikely support from political opponents and the left-wing media. next why texas democrats are in far more trouble than governor perry. 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 buness as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov

7:42 pm
think would be easier to be to? >> it is an old trick because that is what happened to their account -- cantor as well so in the open primary to get people over we saw that happen in misery two years ago in the senate race. it is an old trick in happens all the time. lou: is it your sense the republicans will take the senate? >> a very good chance. it is the fickle business and never a sure thing but with arkansas and louisiana and new hampshire there are places that we never thought were close. people have had six years of the obama administration and
7:43 pm
a party that has failed to leave the country. lou: and president obama is now wildly unpopular and the events in missouri are not helping him. how easy in doing that or the federal government could do better. >> i did some quick math and only 6 percent of the people arrested were from ferguson misery the rest were from outside. they should keep the hell seiters out. lou: the idea that the president will not travel there the justice department

7:45 pm
and the party leadership separate yourself. and that traditional support all the sudden falls away so not only with people in their own party tuesday back away but not doing that every day staff to help members they don't want him in their district. they want his dash but not him. he has become a pariah to a lot of people in both races of the democratic party. lou: thank you for being here. speaker of the house hassert. rotation from theodore roosevelt said far better it is to do might be things for glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure

lou: our next guest says hillary clinton did not go out with marv says -- with
7:50 pm
the president on martha's vineyard but it was more than spend we would expect. joining us is author of the book blood feud the clintons have purses the obama as. the idea they would hunt? and non starter to begin with she seems committed to running even though she could still make adjustments and calibrations. but the more she attacks obama the more likely it seems she would be a candidate? >> absolutely. one of the things i reported is bill clinton put together a whole series of policy books totally 5,000 pages that she is to memorize. that is what she is good at
7:51 pm
to memorize but when she gives them out and talks it does not sound like it is coming from her heart but that she is just repeating words bill puts into her mouth. lou: her lead in the polls looking at potential candidates, is she compelled to run after looking at these numbers like people like chris christie think of staffing back -- stepping back? >> chris christie is a very of running despite the scandals with financial backers urging him to keep going that he is the most likely candidate to beat the living clinton. he has the connection with an audience that she can
7:52 pm
ever possibly achieve. lou: and chris christie the money seems to still be there. hell of a clinton still has a lead over the of front-runners even rand paul we see some encroachment by him. >> i was talking to the very republicans you just mentioned that went from chris christie then they went to jeb bush now mitt romney but their heart is really with chris christie because they think he has the charisma and the connection to overcome the scandals. lou: but can he? >> no.
7:53 pm
i don't think he can't. lou: as we watch these candidates nobody talks about in ferguson this president tries to not leave his fingerprints although his policies have contributed to what has happened with jobs, business creation. household net income of 21,000 people. >> i find interesting the president and rand paul i'm sorry paul ryan have said let's not politicize ferguson but yet in my view it is a political issue. because the more rioting rioting, looting, a disorder , it plays into the
7:54 pm
decider -- law and order for the desire. i see ultimately this will play into the hands of the republicans and it is a plus for the run for the senate. lou: this president also has the opportunity it seems to me to step forward as the first african-american by racial president to go to ferguson kevin meet the people and lead. he is running from ferguson is hard is seeking in. >> i'm sorry. he is between a rock and a hard place it becomes back from vacation with the idea may be i will do something with the executive order for amnesty for several million illegal immigrants which is
7:55 pm
not popular at all in the african-american community. lou: would there be more ferguson if he does that? he pits one group of people against the other. >> that is so true. lou: with ferguson he does not want to assert law-and-order despite what you think would be the proper response. with the rioters, overtures rioters, overtures, he does not say law and order or call them to steven down or respect law and order in to what degree the republicans can capitalize on which these can stand up about the situation and what they've would do. >> i was struck by a sense of confusion and how he looked during his press conference he looked period
7:56 pm
packard and tired like he did not know what to do next. lou: looking at ron johnson walking with the demonstrators these are people from the community for those you're not interested in peaceful assembly. good to have you with us. we have just enough time for your comments. and in my life i have never seen the temperature hotter than it what it is now. a free copy of my novel to all authors of comments. e-mail at lou@loudobbs.com
