7:00 pm
lou dobbs. he's become of isis, there's one guy out there who has been doing this for a long time. no one can make them like he can. keep it right here on fox business. ♪ lou: good evening, everybody president obama has decided to delay his amnesty executive order granting millions of illegal immigrants legal status until after the midterm elections. the obama white house plans it has nothing to do with politics. the president flatly denied that the move has anything to do with preserving a democratic majority in the senate despite polls that increasingly show a republican takeover of the senate after november's elections. here is the president trying to spend at his decision. >> and what are want to do is what i take executive action i want to make sure
7:01 pm
that it is sustainable. >> behind you. >> a little bit. >> concerned the public would not support -- >> what i am saying is that i am going to act because it is the right thing for the country. lou: the president's decision roundly criticized by both republicans who call it election-year politics and democrats who are pushing for outright amnesty the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell put it this way saying what is so cynical about today's immigration announcement is that the president is not saying he will follow the law. he is just saying he will go around the law once it is too late for americans to hold his party accountable in the november elections. also tonight president obama to address the nation tomorrow about the -- rather wednesday about his new strategy to destroy the islamic state terrorists. the president will outline the plan to house and senate leaders to more before making his case to the
7:02 pm
american public the next day. senior white house officials tell fox is president obama will outline a three phase strategy. >> we will take all of this up with former arkansas governor right here in just moments. and how -- the woman who is now nfl star ray wise is wife end up on the floor of the casino scene and your screen? we will show you the newly released video that answers the question and take up the nfl about face coming out. we begin tonight with the president's evolving strategy in dealing with the islamic state. first he had no strategy, but now the commander in chief says he is ready to start going on offense.
7:03 pm
fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry with our report. >> president obama's aides are being taken up almost every detail of this big wednesday speech about a strategy to defeat isis including the logistics' of whether it will be a prime-time address. as for the substance, all they will reveal directly is what the president will not say. >> the president has been pretty clear about what he is not contemplating. he is not contemplating the deployment of combat boots on the ground into syria to deal with the situation. >> that leaves the door open to what officials describe as a three part strategy, continued u.s. air strikes, trying to stand up the iraqi government and then expanding the air strikes into syria. part of a broader campaign that officials now say could take up to three years to defeat an enemy that the president dismissed in january. >> he ran for office under the notion that our national interest in the middle east was to disengage as quickly
7:04 pm
as possible to possible. whether it is saying that i s. il was that chafee, steadying red lines that were not enforced. >> in an interview with nbc news the president insisted. january interview with the new yorker. >> i was not specifically referring. >> a similar report true for pinocchio's by the washington post. declared that after consulting with the new yorker the president was referring at january 7th to the fact that the islamic state had taken over the iraqi city on january 3rd. >> why do you and the president continue to say something that has been proven to be false? >> it has not been proven to be false. the president was describing the wide variety of extremist groups that help spread of. some of them have greater capabilities and others. some of them to not pose a threat to the homeland. >> former homeland security
7:05 pm
secretary said, while isis was not the dominant source of concern the white house knew about the threat before she left office in september september 2013. >> yes, they were on everybody's radar screen. >> raising questions about why the president did not give this big speech and lay out strategy sooner. he will host the top four congressional leaders of both parties on tuesday. officials are being vega whether he will seek an actual vote to authorize new military force saying only he wants a debate and by and from congress. lou: thank you. ed henry. the obama administration today renewed its plea for congress to provide additional money to deal with the unaccompanied illegal children who have made it to our southern border. homeland security secretary j johnson said there are now $1 billion in additional funding. he will be forced to take money from other accounts. the notes only 30141
7:06 pm
unaccompanied minors across the border illegally in the month of august compared with a high of 10,622 in june. much of that decline attributed to the summer months. joining us now, former arkansas governor, host of huckabee on the fox news channel, mike huckabee. great to have you with this. let's start out. i love mitch mcconnell statement. accountability at the polls to defer his feet out granting amnesty. what do you think? >> well, that is exactly what it is. many of these democrats who are up for reelection know that they are going to be cut in barack obama's hot water if he throws this pre-election immigration at them. and now they cannot survive that. the american people are watching people roll across the border. no one has a clue where they are. homeland security secretary says, by the way, we need another $1 billion.
7:07 pm
frankly, i don't think -- let him get it from the countries where these people are coming from. take it from that. if not, but the government can cut 1 billion we will make it just fine. no new money. that is what we ought to make clear. lou: the president saying that he should have anticipated the optics on meet the press talking about the beheading of an american citizen and then within minutes going to the golf course. he should have anticipated. >> i was embarrassed for him lou: yes. >> when he said that i was embarrassed. he said it's about the optics. this is not the theater of the presidency. this is about judgment and priorities. he exercised very, very poor judgment when it came to the getting off the phone with his family, rushing in, putting on his sports jacket long enough to say this is
7:08 pm
terrible and ten minutes later he's on the golf course yucking it up. and it shows a lack of priorities. a priority should have been to spend that afternoon instead of on the golf course talking with the military and intelligence people and deciding exactly how many different ways we could bomb the ever loving stuffings out of isis that afternoon. lou: sensitivity. some feeling, honest emotion about the loss of the man's life, an american citizen. can both be true? ninety-five on the golf course and sincere condolences to the family of that young man? it seems to me to be horrible manners. horrible and sensitivity as much as judgment or optic. >> well, that is why i said i don't think it's about optics. really do believe it shows that he just was so tune in
7:09 pm
to his vacation and tune out from the job. vacations are wonderful. we all need one from time to time, but there are some jobs for which you don't get to take a vacation. you are called into duty. it does not matter whether you are a neurosurgeon. somebody has a brain injury. they will call you when. if you are on the golf course your game is over. if you're the president of the united states and you have an american who is beheaded i'm sorry, but your calls after and will have to be put on the back burner. you have to get to the top of the game. it is not called but the president. he failed at that task. lou: the islamic state, we will find out this week. we are told it is a three stage strategy. the first stage of which is apparently under way, that is air strikes against the islamic state. do you think you will ask congress will -- for their approval to proceed against
7:10 pm
the islamic state? >> i think he might. it's not because he has any respect whatsoever for congress. it is always talking about how he will go it alone. if they're is a decision that he knows is going to make the people, his paws on the left of set, and he says i will go to congress. this is why i find it so disingenuous to pretend that he will go to congress because he really values there and put. there has not been one indication in six years that he has any respect for the people's elected representatives, and he constantly tells us how he would rather go it alone. so i don't think he is going to congress because that is what he wants to do. he is looking for an ounce of that he won't be able -- one of two things. he won't go into take isis because congress has no, or
7:11 pm
they will say yes and he will tell his liberal pols i don't have a choice. either way he is playing the game. lou: minimally facetious commit to you think he should ask congress for their approval to continue to ignore the iranian role in the sponsorship of terrorism, being responsible for one-third of our casualties in iraq? its alliance and continued aggression against the state of israel? >> absolutely. here is the sad thing. we loosen the screws on iran since that time the situation in the world has gotten worse. where is the funding for hezbollah and isis largely come from? iran. iran is the mother ship. what they don't supply the muslim brotherhood does. and so very important that
7:12 pm
we have a commander in chief who understands the nature of the problem. rather than try to make a deal with iran start treating our allies with respect. let them know that there not going to have a nuclear weapon and they're not going to have any loosening of the sanctions until they dismantle all of their nuclear building capacities and the ability to weapon nuys. lou: as always, great to have you with us. be sure to tune in. the fox news channel saturday and sunday nights. we are coming right back. president obama did not have a strategy. still he does not. tomorrow he apparently well. former u.s. spokesman to the united nations on what the obama battle plan may look like. next.
7:14 pm
hey, how you doin'? it hurts. this is what it can be like to have shingles. a painful blistering rash. if you had chicken pox, the shingles virus is already inside you. as you get older your immune system weakens and it loses its ability to keep the shingles virus in check. i just can't stand seeing him like this. he's in pain. one in three people will get shingles in their lifetime. the shingles rash can last up to 30 days. i wish that there was something i could do to help. some people with shingles will have long term nerve pain which can last for a few months to a few years. don't wait until someone you love develops shingles. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk.
7:16 pm
lou: ukrainian president today made a surprise visit to the embattled coastal city in eastern ukraine. in a fiery speech he stated that the city was, is, and will be ukrainian. his visit comes as a tenuous cease-fire appears to be holding between ukrainian troops, russian back separatists. the pentagon today announced that nearly all of the additional 350 troops have arrived there. there are now nearly 1200 soldiers. they have conducted 143 airstrikes against the islamic state. says a seven and a half million dollars a day.
7:17 pm
the united states spokesman to the united nations advising for it u.s. ambassador's. let's start with the president. not the plan. not the equivalent. what to you taken to mean? >> i'm not sure what it means. he has been scrambling fong timo come up with some sort of a plan. i mean, he has been little bit from the campaign, if you remember in 2008. on the run and then he was scrambling. so we have really seen this strategy not just from 2008, but if you'd go even back from the beginning of the campaign when he was elected , you know, this is a strategy that hillary clinton called my eve. hillary clinton was talking about barack obama's foreign-policy when she said this is an ideal strategy. we have seen it played out.
7:18 pm
lou: we should point out that she was speaking as a candid at that time. it does not validate her charge, but it is important, i think. uruguay foreign ministers meeting in agreeing to take measures. this seems to be a profound development. >> i think it is a little bit too late. our arab allies have wanted to do something for a while. we have seen the saudis, jordanians, lebanese, a lot of arab allies have been clamoring for some sort of plan. we are now starting with the plan, but it is really too late. we have seen isis growing. they have grown outside of syria and are already in to iraq. this is a situation that is at the forefront of american security. i don't understand why the president keeps saying this is a regional issue. they have already taken
7:19 pm
american lives. they're planning on doing more. we have to eric -- the lesson of september 11th was to get the terrorists before their inside the plane. lou: and the idea that is being put forward by the obama administration is that his strategy will have a horizon that goes well beyond the end of his presidency. he think that this country has been at all chastened by the long war concept? is it about time commanders in chief talk about victory, destroying the enemy rather than a carefully calculated incrementalism that delivers very little in the end? >> you know, it is the doctrine. if you're going to see -- going to decide to use force he should go in with overwhelming force. that is one of the things we have seen. the obama doctrine is war or ignore. a lot of these crises for a very long time. i would counsel the president that he should
7:20 pm
pick up that doctrine and use it more. lou: as we wish and number of presidents had. great to see you. vicki for being here. well, the baltimore ravens today terminated the contract of running back rick rice just hours after the release of surveillance video that appears to show him striking his fiancee in the face interview airing. the nfl plans it had not seen that is serving video when it made the decision in july to suspend rice for two games, a punishment that was widely criticized as inadequate and insensitive. the nfl has now suspended rice and definitely. the atlanta hawks controlling owner to sell his stake in the team following his racially insensitive e-mail that he sent two years ago. he self reporters his e-mail to the nba in july, the

night. lou: the republican party, back above 60%. do you concur with the new york times? >> there certainly picking up the trend. a very strong poll that came out called the battleground poll done by george washington university. bipartisan. they do this and have been doing for years. the intensity of the republican voters 12 points higher than that of the democrat. this is higher than it was in 2010. so my sense is every poll that i have seen, the trend has gone toward republican. making democrats feel the need to go out and defend the incumbents. could be much bigger than the majority. lou: republicans right when is it the american people don't want anything to do with amnesty or immigration reform, or are they sort of whistling by the graveyard?
7:35 pm

lou: to you think the speaker has the guts to do that? guy rounding out 144 acquiescence votes acquiescing to the idea of amnesty, comprehensive border, comprehensive immigration reform to so long as they did not have the vote. >> my sense is that he will be a different speaker or there will be a difference speaker come next january. a new majority leader. obviously. some new members of the republican party, the congress inclined to not be moderates, more inclined to be conservatives. he will have to basically do a reassessment. votes are not there. you could not pass the senate bill again. he would not have people like rubio. my sense is a process will take a couple years. it needn't settle down and make it right. lou: of the republicans going to run against a president who says he will issue an amnesty fee out but
7:38 pm
