has not happened yet and i have doubts. lou: the defense secretary said they lacked the will to fight to from the iranian general to describe the united states as though will to fight. >> he has a point. there is an old saying go big or go home. the idea to trickle in american forces to do the of by asean and assist mission behind the gates shows a lack of will on the part of the americans as well. i of not in favor of iran taking over but it said general has a point. lou: increasingly we learned the u.s. military many of them have not had a point
11:06 pm
talk about understanding the culture of the we have heard emanating from the leaders of the great warriors turned out to be as sociologists and traveling politicians that are held ben don victory. >> but talk to middle management or the marines who are engaged in iraq and afghanistan you get a different picture. lou: let me be clear. i am not talking about the majors but generals and admirals who have presided over 40 years of conflict. that is something every academy in my judgment every single general officers should talk about how we begin to act differently to achieve far betteresults.
11:07 pm
>> i could not agree with you more it has gone on too long where trickling forces into the combat zone if we are serious we should pile on and the narrative with the administration is we're doing fine but the american people are tired of sticking out there want to see results or see it over. >> also of government and the military who speaks truth. those used to be principal attributes but are no longer you are among the rare exceptions. good to have you general scales for coated jersey to the search of more than 40 people that are missing after week of brains and devastating floods.

♪ >> the city of baltimore is reeling from its dead lou: baltimore has the deadliest months since a 1999 and still six days remaining. 35 people killed including nine over memorial day weekend. incredible. the record violence is happening in west baltimore ground zero for the riots that to place following the april death of freddie grey who was killed in police custody. in chicago red dashboard camera captured dramatic video of a shootout between gang members in broad daylight. this shows a man in a gray
11:15 pm
t-shirt pulled out a gun and fires five quick shots at a target off-camera then he heads down the street and fires five more times before he gets in the car and they speed away. this is not typical because no one was hit by all those bullets space and a nine year-old boy was just barely missed. police said they are analyzing the video but murders in chicago are up 17% over last year. cleveland's police department agreed to train them to minimize racial bias out - - bias. police activities are tracked by a monitor either
11:16 pm
agreed to buy a this city agreed to by a federal judge coming three days after a white police officer acquitted of manslaughter in a 2012 shooting which police fired 137 bullets through the windshield of a car with two unarmed black suspects and they were killed. protesters took to the streets resulting in 70 a rest. good to have you with us also former n.y.p.d. detective bo dietl. let's start with this number 35 murders in baltimore and the mayor asks for the justice department investigation. >> there were 14 murders over the memorial day
11:17 pm
weekend in chicago. there were 36 other shots in new york today talking to people in washington heights there is more shooting center happening that you don't hear about them just to bring about the people that can hit but you said in the beginning where is the attorney general? the types of interaction for what happened in south carolina, i gather is bad cops but you cannot take away from these young lives and this is like a war ended is the beginning of summer and will only get worse we have to get the government
11:18 pm
behind us and we need the police department to do their job. lou: now that is what the police are accused of to not do their job that they are holding back the mayor now asks for investigation to make excuses for what has turned out to be more calamity and pain and tragedy of this city of baltimore. >> i agree with bo dietl one budget percent. exactly the way he explained it. our cities like ferguson and cleveland are in the middle of the catastrophic crisis. and these politicians it isn't politically correct to address the problem but instead they go after the police officers.
11:19 pm
the end result is all of those that were killed this past weekend so if bo dietl says he sees that that i see it in cleveland and washington d.c. nobody does anything about it and it is unfortunate. talk about the mayor of baltimore i was there on the streets during the riots. first team and she told the police officers to stand down and allow people to vent to express their feelings in the community and they did that they burned down the city so now she wants to go after the police officers. she has a mixed up and unfortunately people are suffering every day. >> but the one thing is do we know the names of these young kids killed in chicago or the nine killed we don't even know their names. it is the civil rights violations against those kids to not be properly for a detective.
11:20 pm
when they bring in more cops to let them do their job to stop and frisk they take that away they have several monitors and city monitors the cops are going out there we lost our hero officer shot in his face if he would have tossed in to find the gun he would have walked out to be illegally searched. >> we could cut out of his car first. >> that's right. >> looking at this administration that what we are looking at is the campaign against law-enforcement. and tell somebody intervenes whether the attorney general or a mayor who has the guts or a republican presidential candidate or the democratic candidate who says stop.
11:21 pm
>> the chief is the only one today who stands up to say it like it is from milwaukee. we have seen the ex police officer screaming why aren't we doing anything or saying anything? lou: now in phoenix they have to send out emails asking for supporters for money to fight the legal battle against the aclu who has been fighting to preserve law and order to enforce the laws if he is reduced to asking for money for legal defense. is anybody going to get honest about this justice department? >> there is a significant lack of leadership across this country. not in the police department but elected officials.
11:22 pm
that is the problem with gatt ferguson for i was out there. the governor did not even arrive until all four days after the city started to burn than look at baltimore what that mayor did but then looked at contrast to the state of ohio. talk about leadership, john k. sec has been on the streets of cleveland everyday dealing with the problems faced to phase so in addition to shares of clark seven also say we need to take a look at these candidates like john k. sec because he is out there i can tell you that firsthand. >> respect civil rights but it is a civil rights of the young people dying. why isn't my friend jesse jackson in chicago where he lives protesting with the families we have to stop the violence in chicago?
11:23 pm
lou: is a reason they are run by democratic administrations city hall hall, mayors for the past half century and longer in chicago it would not be politically convenient for them to do so. maybe they could find the guts to do so. good to have you with us. beecher to vote. to believe the obama justice department should be investigating a local police departments and it is or the politicians to run them? lou dobbs.com. a section of i 75 is closed as a tanker truck exploded. a mechanical issue cause the back tires to block and 9,000 gallons of fuel to explode and it damaged
11:24 pm
100 yards of concrete on the freeway ramp. the lack of strategy to defeat the islamic state just one element of a failed presidency. my commentary up next. dash camera video shows a small aircraft descending rapidly from the sky. we will tell you what happens next. stay with us.
11:25 pm
11:26 pm
11:27 pm
11:28 pm
>> lou: you just heard k.t. mcfarland a commanding know well -- milwaukee share of as they fight to the campaign with of white house he will be our guest tomorrow. a few thoughts on how to tell when the administration that was never confident or effective hits the wall. this is defense secretary carter criticizing the iraqi military after forces retreated or surrender the
11:29 pm
city to the islamic state. >> the iraqi forces showed no will to fight. they were knocked out number there were vastly outnumbering the opposing force. we have an issue with the will of the iraqis to fight isil and defend themselves. lou: no will to fight? in the old days before political correctness was in our society those four words would have been organized into one word and expressed as cowards. even the watered-down comments from a hastily arranged called to a the prime minister from the vice president by in to assure him despite the comments united states recognizes the
11:30 pm
enormous sacrifice and bravery of the iraqi forces ''. the white house also tries to make amends to reassure the iraqis to offer cautious and hesitant support for the president's own defense secretary. >> what secretary carter said is consistent with the analysis he has received from those on the ground and we were pleased to see the iraqi government announce the beginning of the mission to retake from i detoured drive isil out of the anbar province. that is it showing their will to fight. >> so the defense secretary was wrong? some of the opinion is he is a fool?
11:31 pm
also pushing the will of the obama administration the commander of the aids the shia militia claiming united states is doing nothing. he went so far to declare the united -- united states has no will to fight the islamic state and as bob scales centcom he believes the evidence is significance only the islamic state have the will to fight but the iraqis and obama administration on the wrong side of history. are we giving mr. obama attitude little credit? many complain the policy lacks a strategy but at some point there will have to a knowledge they have refused to except the real strategy
11:32 pm
not intended to a finance foreign policy in any corner of the world. the administration is better aligned with the iranians than israel or saudi arabia. the more closely aligned with the chinese and the south china sea but to ignore the expansion strategy as it builds its presence in central and south america as china makes investments there. and even more aligned with russia as vladimir putin has his influence through the baltic states and scandinavia. with get the president's language. it is meaningless but watch his action and the consequences of his policy choice. only then can we truly defying here is a true policy and intent and ambition.
11:33 pm
a quotation on concealing policies of state. of back who was the greatest prime minister said this ended deserves considerable thought. >> franken explicit is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the minds of others. twice prime minister. we will be right back. >> the presidents of unlawful ill the goal immigration fiat suffered a deadly blow purpose of the fifth circuit says no to mr. obama democratic strategist julie roginsky joins us next and a florida abounds house does more than bounce with three children inside. details ahead. gotta get milwaukee up to speed.

11:39 pm
>> based on what we see i would say that vision is retreat that america would abdicate. to put it into neutral terms to shrink the footprints around the world there for the world is better for america. six years later i think we can clearly say it doesn't work out that way. >> i am an agreement with secretary carter they need to figure this out on their own there are no good guys with this fight. freed empower the iranians then we empower ice is the biggest mistake we ever made was to go into iraq to think we would not upset iran as a result there is no good guys iraq is a failed state it never should have ben est. 100 years ago it is a sectarian country the problem is we cannot fight the iraqis.
11:40 pm
>> you go back 100 years and we have limited ability to change history but we have immense capacity to change cover future. what should this administration due to be constructive with the national interest of the islamic state, iran and iraq that insist on hegemony to add to the great disadvantage. >> you went in to a rack we empower the iranians because that is another side of the battle. it is like the syrians civil war. >> but that misreads the role of the of president there was no good guys at the outbreak of world war ii stalling or hitler? you negotiate and to manage
11:41 pm
and have a plan and a vision for victory you cannot simply just step back as we have done. >> but there was the british and french and they were called our allies but they're still there are because we could fight for them. >> this is not the second act the beginning of the war. and those who are willing to let stolid be ben to change the course but to get back to the future the reality is this president will go down as a failed leader of foreign policy and domestic policy you see where that could not be the case? >> of course, . he took us out of the worst depression since 1929.
11:42 pm
i am not as happy with the economy as it should be but the health care reform did bring health care to over 10 million people. >> 2 billion for 10 million. >> but those ted million people. >> also has those exchanges implode the taxes are immense. >> the difference is those 10 million having access to medical care now is better. >> let me add quickly. you cannot borrow your way to you prosperity. >> that his administration after administration. >> but the national debt has doubled when you talk about obamacare they have been done on the future with borrowed money that has funded almost all of this. >> she is not too concerned coupes the bill.
11:43 pm
>> but fundamentally i believe is the right if you have access you shouldn't say we have public-school education you withdraw subscribe to that theory so then why couldn't they have access to good medical care because of the cost? we're the only country that did not do that and tell now is up fundamental debate but if you ask what accomplishments obama has had as a liberal those are strong. >> there are two issues one is entitlements but how you pay for it. i think that is something that most people should agree we cannot borrow which is what has happened. lou: that more people are provided health care under medicare than will ever be affected by obamacare. obamacare is part of a
11:44 pm
village. >> medicare and medicaid talk about entitlements it is the biggest. >> really? i did not know that. >> why would you support medicare? to me that would be everybody. >> i think to the original question whether there will be anything that this president is known for if it ended now nothing could would the looked back upon other than the election of the first black president which is a major historic breakthrough unfortunately the performance has not been good. lou: i think that is exactly right to. in historical terms no question but beyond that we could have a debate. good to have you here.
