of our show is moving to a new time on monday. monday. we will now be seen at 8:00 p.m. eastern 5:00 o'clock pacific. i will certainly see you then. thank you for watching. good night. day. keep it here on fox business. lou: good evening, everyone, i am lou dobbs. the obama administration has begun another of its patented political policy reversals. these obama reversals are called flip-flops are pivots it changes of heart or circumstance. this time the obama regime changes the changes in the islamic date are operative. the president and his administration are desperately trying to distance themselves from the war against the islamic state. the president's top spokesman insisted that the united states

will train and equip iraqi forces. but they will not be responsible for securing iraq. tonight we are going to update you on the political realities that have led to the present ends than of his plan to degrade and destroy the islamic state. joining us is k.t. mcfarland democratic strategist doug schoen and national review's jillian kay melchior. also her notorious secrecy and ideological ambition, we have been catching up with hillary clinton. new poll numbers show the majority of americans have decided that the former secretary of date is anything but honest and trustworthy. we are going to examine the mounting problems for the clinton presidential campaign and the baltimore mayor who wants said that she wanted to save face for those protesters and demonstrators that wanted to destroy parts of baltimore. and now she wants us to pay for the damage that she cost for the riots that she permitted. christian adams is with us to discuss the liberal campaign

against law enforcement decency and common sense. we begin tonight with a white house that is as it has been in so many other is in transition. this time trying to move on from the president's forceful declaration that he would degrade and destroy the islamic state to a rather feeble indifference that it seems to the outcome of what white house spokesman today called a battle against the islamic state. >> our strategy is to support iraqi security forces and doing what we will not do for them. the united states is prepared to train them and to equip them and back them up with coalition military airpower as they take to fighting this in their own country. the united states will not be responsible for securing the situation inside of iraq. lou: josh earnest remarks in sharp contrast with the bravado of only nine months ago.

>> the objective is clear and that is to degrade and destroy transit. >> the troops end diplomats to ultimately degrade and destroy. >> we are leading a broad coalition. >> the coalition of some 60 nations including arab nations will not relent in our mission to degrade and destroy isis. lou: ultimately destroy isis. well we are three months on from the president's promise not to relent. the obama white house is obviously relenting. fox news national security analyst k.t. mcfarland astronomy now and my first question to you tonight, is the president's reversal -- is it really that bad in iraq? >> yes and it is not a terrorist organization, it is the islamic state. it's getting recruits by the

day, joining the islamic state from around 100 different countries. 25,000 foreign recruits have raised from syria to iraq to fight for this. it's a 70% increase over last year. lou: we are hearing a number of former generals and amongst them stanley mcchrystal. talking about how isis is organic and has been organic i don't know what that means. but isn't it about time that this country's general starts talking about how to win wars and quit sounding like sociologist and dilettantes of intellectualism? it is becoming embarrassing to this country and it's also extraordinarily dangerous that the lead warriors are acting like it's some kind of humanities major. >> the problem is nine months ago when the president put down a red line and then couldn't do it, and why couldn't they do it?

two times now they have been faced with far fewer forces in the year ago in the battle it was 831 odd. guess who gave up? the guys who had the 30,000 troops that ran away and just last month they had five to one odds and ran away again. so why won't they fight? there's a shiite army, they are controlled by iran and they are not going to defend the sunnis. but what we need to do that is not to say that this is terrible, we are going to walk away we need to figure out some way to make sure that whatever might have happened doesn't come home. lou: the idea of fighting the enemy on his ground is of course compelling and reasonable. but there is something about fighting an enemy on his ground not to win that renders the whole proposition as madness and

we have been engaged in that madness for 14 straight years. >> what we should have learned and what we said never are we going to put american forces into this situation to fight and die without this. and so we don't have that is the president says we don't have a plan. don't be in the middle of a fight, don't throw american forces into the breach in hopes that it looks like you're doing something when you have no plan for it. and there is no plan to win the. lou: i want to apologize to humanities majors, i said they are acting like they majored in humanities or something like that. they would benefit if they had been like this. and so what i would like to say further to those individuals, it's time to listen to guys like general jack keane time to listen to k.t. mcfarland and it's time to listen to colonel ralph peters and time to get in

touch with the people that represent the institutional knowledge about warfare and who represent values that actually travel across this country's history very well. we fight like hell for what we decide is in the national interest. we were a confused nation and there seems to be no sense on the part of this president that anything matters. >> that is right, and that is the danger because other countries are looking at this weakness putting a redline down everyone has to realize that this president has 18 or 20 months left in office. >> short of 20. >> yes, that is why you are seeing everyone take advantage and jump in.

>> it must be absolutely confounding to look at the people that were supposed to be those who have traveled through decades before to offer guidance and counsel and wisdom. what they are watching is a nation that is tearing itself apart over abstractions that are not about national values or great ideas or about great responsibilities more noble purpose. because we are squandering every opportunity to do the right thing. >> most people in america today do not know what it's like when america wins a went to war. and that is the tragedy. but you fight to win or you don't fight. lou: i believe george w. bush had it right. he had it right in the year 2000. he was the first person campaigning for president since eugene mccarthy who was talking

about a modesty in u.s. foreign policy and it is that modesty of either cowardice or some sense of isolationism but a modesty that is proportionate to our values as a people that will wire us to not be reflexive and frankly cavalier as we commit this in places. >> most people can't find it on a map and it may not make a big difference. >> they talk about the well to fight. and it's hard to begrudge a lack of well to fight for those that are unclear over those that seem absent. with that, we have k.t. mcfarland and it's always good to talk with you. turning now to the city of

baltimore and the fallout over the april death of freddie gray. attorneys representing the baltimore police officers who were charged in his death have filed a motion to have this move from the city. the attorneys have argued that the anti-police rhetoric emanating from the city's left wing leaders have made it impossible for the clients to receive a fair trial in baltimore. the campaign has also made it impossible for police to fight an epidemic of violence in the city. correspondent leland vittert has the report. >> across baltimore the police tape of another murder is now a daily occurrence. more than three dozen people so far this month. many more shot and wounded. >> as a burned-out individual for the riots, things have largely returned to normal. a lot of folks hanging around in the streets we are told that

most don't have jobs. what is missing is the police who many say haven't shown up in a while and the numbers say they are doing the same job that they used to. arrests are down to 2% over the same time last year and the very folks who stood here and protested to police about this say that they need them back. >> all of them get a paycheck from the city of baltimore. >> in a statement by the union today, the police say that they are under siege in every quarter. they are more afraid of going to jail for doing their jobs properly and they are of getting shot on duty. sources say that rank-and-file officers are most angry with marilyn mosby and stephanie rawlings blake who sources say ordered police to stand down and let rioters loot month's unrest.

>> how is it that this is the deadliest in 15 years and how is that anything other than a failure of your policies? >> there are a lot of reasons why we are having a surge in violence. >> is that because the police are doing less enact. >> as i said before there are a lot of reasons why. >> is that one of them? >> arrests are down 50%. >> civil rights activists say that violence in baltimore is only going to get worse. >> we should not be that close to the edge. but i think that the similar focuses on police and containment and not development. >> redevelopment is expensive the city authorized $20 million from its rainy day fund to pay for police overtime and other costs incurred during the riots. but the true cost may be much higher considering the lost tax revenue. we live better for "fox 5

news". lou: in texas, the rivers are rising still. more rain on the way following the historic devastating flooding of the past several days and at least nine people are still missing. the death toll has risen to 17. cities including houston and austin, the capital, has been hit with continuous storms for the past week. some 7.5 inches of rain falling in texas making it the wettest month on record. there are three days left this month and we are coming right back to stay with us. >> hillary clinton promising to return honesty and confidence to america. there is a problem. americans don't believe one word of it. we are going to take up her campaign next. and an amazing video from a [beeping]

[lip syncing] ♪little girl you look so lonesome oh my goodness. ♪i see you are feeling blue ♪come on over to my place ♪hey girl ♪we're having a party happy birthday, grandma! ♪we'll be swinging ♪dancing and singing ♪baby come on over tonight lou: a new 2016 poll shows no front runner in the republican field, some are calling it a packed field, a lot of folks seem to want to get a job. according to the quinnipiac survey five candidates tied for first place, jeb bush scott walker then cursor ben carson

10% apiece, i would call that pretty even distribution. in a general election matchup, senators rand paul and marco rubio, topping him 46 to 42%. but it's not all good for hillary we should have known that 53% of voters say that she's not honest or trustworthy. so how is she eating all of this in the polls? and a new report finds that the clinton foundation sidney blumenthal was fined $20,000 time that he was advising secretary of state on libya. but she tried to downplay her relationship just last week in iowa. listen to what she said. >> he has been a friend of mine he has sent me unsolicited

e-mails which i passed on. and that is just part of the give and take. >> i always think that it is important when you get into politics and to understand what they have on their mind. lou: i bet that we would have a lot more friends if we were paying him $10,000 per month unsolicited. it turns out that someone was soliciting something as a payroll or for unsolicited. white house chief of staff under george bush, new hampshire governor john sununu, it's so great to have you here. >> thank you. lou: we have talking points from both sides. i think that the audience would like to hear from one of the smartest guys work in the white house, one of the smartest guys in the state of new hampshire about a host of issues.

and just the unvarnished view, this administration is a sudden reversal moving on from degrading and destroying the islamic state. >> the president has very little in terms of principles when it comes to foreign policy. he has very little in terms of experience when it comes to foreign policy and very little in terms of commitment when it comes to implementing foreign policy. this president is a disaster in foreign policy and we should not be surprised at anything that happens overseas and in terms of our policies to what is going on. it is just incompetent. lou: as we turned to the campaign taking with the democratic side. hillary clinton trying to get by without taking a position on the transpacific partnership were free trade agreement, i think that's personally crazy to support such a thing when we

don't know what is in it, but that is business, as they say. but we have richard trumka thing you better stand up against it because your free pass is over. but this is the same guy who supports illegal immigration amnesty. can you square that up for us? >> it has its own internal confusions and they resent the inexpensive labor that comes from an immigration policy that flood the country with illegal immigrants. but if you will, they want the numbers support. the numbers to increase by trying to attract those illegal immigrants. he's trying to thread a strange line and straddle it. he's doing the right thing to put up or shut up on this issue

or don't expect are supported. libra is an important part for anybody's campaign on the democratic side and it guarantees that hillary is going to go nowhere in the process. lou: hillary is not only getting away without taking a position on free trade, but she is getting a free pass from the obama administration justice department on e-mails and her server and the clinton foundation because it looks on the face of it i'm not saying that it is the case but on the needs of its the clintons look like the most corrupt political family in this country's history. >> it's only going to get worse. there's so much more that comes out between now and the election. the book on hillary's about a foot and a half thick and she better start to answer some of these things. but as you can see in the media there is a lot of the liberal media that usually would go for

her that are beginning to question us and a lot of the folks on tv. she has problems with those who covered her tail in the past and protected her back. now she doesn't deal with that. she's going to find that she's going to have no one protecting her when it really gets going. lou: five republicans in the latest quinnipiac poll tied at five apiece, that's five front-runners by my calculation and the liberals are saying that republicans have this field in the nomination. >> that's why it's nice to be in new hampshire, they were all coming through and getting a chance to see them. the process begins and they are doing a good job of here, virtually all of them are serious about being here and those that have announced this have some effect in communicating this message. but it's early, it's nine months

to the new hampshire primary which means we want to know who the nominee is going to be for nine and a half months. lou: i like the way that you put that in. it's always good to have you. and the reason all those folks are doing that is to talk with john. vote in our poll tonight. should taxpayers or federal taxpayers pay for the $20 million in damages and costs as a result of the april riots in what is called the charming city of baltimore? cast your vote at loudobbs.com. and a teenager in maine capturing dramatic video of the moment that lightning struck a church. it happened as a storm rolled through the town of grand isle this week. the strike damaged the church's roof. and internal wiring was apparently affected as well. so can you imagine the reporter who told us about the internal wiring? no one was hurt, but what an

extraordinary lightning strike to be caught on video. coming up next, hillary clinton on the issues where big labor is a little agitated. my commentary will be nothing on the consternation. and the wisconsin sheriff's sheriffs deputies proving that he's one of the finest and bravest. you will be proud and that is ♪ (piano music) ♪ fresher dentures, for the best first impression. love loud, live loud polident. ♪ ♪ fresher dentures...

lou: a few thoughts on vague labors change of heart about hillary clinton, in my commentary last monday i told you about big labor's political decision to give her a free pass on the issue of free trade. it has had an obvious change of heart and unions have joined more than half the folks in this country who say that hillary is dishonest and unworthy of trust. this is the nation's top labor

leader talking about the issues hitting the democratic candidates for not taking a stance on trade authority in the transpacific partnership free-tradeeement. >> i think that she's going to have to answer that. and people take it seriously and it will act whether they vote for her or do not vote for her. lou: clinton continuing to sidestep the issue despite backing the transpacific partnership when she served as secretary of state. but that was then. richard trumka warning there could be consequences this time is she supports the deal. >> it will be tougher to mobilize working people and get them to come out excited and work and to do doorknocking and phone banking and all of the things that will be necessary for her if she is the candidate.

lou: richard trumka may be playing coy they certainly have it right on this free-trade deal. no one knows what's in it but what we do know is that her experience, those things kill american jobs. the confounding question is why do these members put up with the leader who supports the president's amnesty fiat on illegal immigration to add more workers into the country that will further depress the wages and it doesn't make sense. unless richard has been convinced that illegal immigrants will simultaneously register as democrats and join his union, saying that a trade deal hurting jobs and wages yet he had this to say. the obama administration will help to prevent unscrupulous employers from using unprotected workers to drive down wages and

conditions for all workers in our country. those dog on on scriptless employers. and some unions the members really have to wonder who they can trust richard trumka saying that it's conceivable that the union may hold back on a presidential endorsement over the issue of trade. maybe he assumes his membership is going to follow this blindly and hope that his members have forgotten that the afl-cio has refused to support it clinton in 2008. they are appearing to do so in 2016. the labor and influence are dwindling at an accelerated rate. and the quotation of the evening all about politics and we often bemoan the fact that plato once observed long ago one of the

penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. plato a philosopher and generally good guy. we are coming back, so is he with us. >> the six officers charged in the death of freddie gray they say that a fair trial in baltimore is impossible. christian adams joins us next. and an amazing video of poor daredevils and her encounter with an if you're an adult with type 2 diabetes and your a1c is not at goal with certain diabetes pills or daily insulin your doctor may be talking about adding medication to help lower your a1c. ask your doctor if adding once-a-week tanzeum is right for you. once-a-week tanzeum is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes along with diet and exercise. once-a-week tanzeum works by helping your body release its own natural insulin when it's needed.

lou: the city of baltimore facing about $20 million in damages connected to the recent riot along with wages and it includes expenses for police and damaging city-owned property, and mayer said stephanie rawlings blake tried to do something about it and then lied about it and it was cooperated and yes that is what she did say. she is asking for up to 75% reimbursement from the federal emergency management agency. and sort of her idea to let this

unfold. joining us now, author of the book "injustice" christian it's good to have you here. >> thank you. >> let's start with the police officers seeking a change. as an attorney do you think that is likely to happen we met. >> it will be a heavy burden for them to carry, there is a fascinating rings in there that i ain't that if you are a maryland lawyer and you all that line may have violated some ethics rules with pretrial publicity, another prosecutor got spanked by the court of appeals for stuff that was not as bad as what this woman did. so we are going to see if that happens or not. lou: the department of justice and the deal in cleveland where there have been incidents of police in abuse of power and

excessive force. but the individual instances don't rise to a pattern -- doesn't rise to a pattern that would lead to a doj agreement remapped. >> we are never going to know because cleveland surrendered and raised the white flag and told the obama department what to do on everything. every time a police officer on holsters has gone they have to file a report with the federal overseer and they have to take sensitivity training and all of these far left wing anti-police agenda items have been put in place without any fight from cleveland and this is happening all over the country as part of a coordinated effort to lock down under federal mandates large numbers of police forces across the nation and not to effectively take them over but to impose federals innards written by far left lawyers out of washington dc. it is not to take them over effectively to put in

ideological rules to tell them how to behave and it happened in los angeles and the crime went crazy after the justice department got involved there. the cops would not even work on the game units because of the reporting requirements. >> it we summon baltimore including the mayor suggesting the withdrawal of the police department but they are proactive in policing a community that has basically told them to go to hell basically it's because of the ideas of the politicians and the police are the problem. it is a bloodbath last couple of weeks and they have and need a

boob it to death, she blamed get this she blamed slavery on the riots in baltimore. lou: we actually have that quote and we would like to put it up so that they can see that. she said she's the head of the doj civil rights division as christian said. and she said this. it is in part the product of historical is imperative to talk about the lynchings and jim crow segregation and those are radical words. vanita gupta is not in the role of activist with the head of the civil rights division. or is there a difference? >> make no mistake the civil rights division is part of this. they are thinking that slavery is responsible for what happened in baltimore.

>> in baltimore you can't use this word either because that is a discount of evil. it's too descriptive of the behavior of some people in that city or anywhere in the world. >> they are thugs, they are gangsters, and exact menace to society. but when you have top obama department of justice officials say that slavery is to blame, gives the american people an insight into the radicalism that we have been talking about for years infecting this administration. lou: christian it's good to have you with us. thank you. lou: question is should baltimore city taxpayers are federal taxpayers pay for the $20 million in damages and expenses after the riots in april. please cast your vote at

. lou: joining us now fox news political analyst and former clinton adviser doug schoen and jillian k. melchior. big big trouble, friend of the family. how much trouble do you think this is? >> not that much. lou: doug i like that answer. by the way i'm not suggesting your wrong. i love the reaction. >> polls have our head against

most of the field comfortably, candidly, what she's supposed to do i ask you? [ laughter ]. lou: you did everything in that paragraph but say what's the difference? >> that would be her attitude. didn't she say what's the difference now on benghazi? lou: that's what i was trying to offer. >> why was she in her terms wrong. lou: why wanted american people -- let's turn this, why do the american people put up with this nonsense? shouldn't a public servant, particularly in high office repair to a high standard of conduct. >> of course. lou: whoa, whoa whoa! let's not get off-course it's not happening in 2015 america. >> i think there should be much more accountability, and this is obama administration problem as much as it's a hillary clinton problem. i think the poll numbers aren't quite as rosy as he suggests.

the confidence in her honesty and transparency have gone down significantly and she's beating out republican contenders in the polls but the party hasn't coalesced it's all of them competing and i don't think the left has anybody that's an alternative that's going to make it difficult to defend her when a strong candidate for the right emerges. lou: for the republicans, five candidates in the latest quinnipiac poll, that's a field of front-runners, that's exciting for everyone. >> i think it would be the opposite. lou: you would? that shocks me you think it would be the opposite. go ahead. five candidates none including i think jeb bush had more than 10% indicating that none of the above is in the rankings, and candidly you say let the frat ri side continue. lou: you are calling a crowded field because of a lot of

strong energized candidates with aspirations. >> you think jeb bush is strong and energized. lou: i certainly think he is absolutely. i think that -- anyway we're going to disagree with that? i was shocked. >> i don't think jeb is showing a lot of vigor on the campaign trail except with fund-raisers. i think marco rubio is. rubio is doing very well. he's articulating a positive vision, optimism and hope for the future. i think he's doing the best of the bunch. lou: excellent. and jillian what do you make of the field, i get a kick out of the left they want to call the republican field crowded which is interesting, the republicans see it as a broader tent, a bigger tent more inclusive tent rather than what looks like to be an anointment ceremony over on the democratic side where one woman looks like she's going to have someone put the crown on her head.

>> yeah, absolutely it's going to be a bruising primary season, but i believe the competition ends with the best choices, and so i'm all for it i hope it's rough-and-tumble and hope we get a strong candidate out of it. i think that the democrats right now they've put all of their eggs in one basket and that basket is living wildly. lou: in that case i've got to agree with my friend doug on this, turns out hillary is beating the -- two of the five -- rubio and paul -- within four points that's it. despite considered being dishonest trustworthy. >> but a strong leader also. they think she has leadership abilities and the republican field is untested. lou: well she's been tested in benghazi you say found wanting. >> absolutely. lou: i say strong leadership. >> i definitely think she's a

strong leader, i don't like the direction she's taken things. much less transparency much less suggestion of conflict of interest. it's definitely taking the country in a direction but not one americans approve of. lou: president obama says his mind is concentrated by the fact he has less than 20 months remaining in office is that helpful? >> well, i don't think a large aspect or substantial amount of the obama presidency has been all that helpful. what i was disquieted by lou, today disconcerted i think even distraught was the comment that iraq and isis are somebody else's problem. lou: iraq's problem specifically. this is the man who -- >> lou, by the way, wasn't isis the group that earlier in the week said they would hope to have nuclear weapons sometime soon to use against the united states? lou: is that isis or was that iran? i can't remember.

>> both. both. lou: we gotta run, real quickly. thank you. >> thank you. lou: that's it for us tonight tomorrow former army vice chief of staff . >> i was holding the books up and screaming like a kiddie schoolgirl. during the war period like a superman 17 with superman beating the snot out of hitler.
