the one and only chris stirewalt is here to weigh in on primary night.o you get excited like i do, chris? i love this stuff. >> shannon, you are -- on the nerd spectrum, you are so far away from me, shannon, that i don't -- it's flattering, but you know better than that. >> i'm insulted. let's talk about this kansas race and the other ones that you're watching tonight. of course kansas race could impact the senate. big deal. >> kansas could affect the senate because the democrats are no joke in kansas. kansas we think of as a very red state. democrats are obviously hoping milton wolf could pull off an upset. not looking good the way things are going in kansas right now for him and therefore by extension for democrats. but also when we look across the country we have three other primaries. missouri where there is a lot of r referenda. several contests in washington and michigan. a huge upset in michigan. republicans have secured the senate seat there. the real drama going on in michigan is two efforts by the republican establishment to unseat incumbent te

let's get started with chris stirewalt. chris, we have heard from ben rhodes, as you just saw, we have heard from chuck hagel on this. we have not so far heard from the president in these new starker terms. when do you expect we will? >> well, look, colonel north may say something that i don't know because that's his area of expertise, but as far as i can tell nothing has changed here except for the politics. the situation on the ground seems materially the same. the political situation is getting worse for the administration as fissures erupt as you see a split in terms of the military brass pushing and saying, look, mr. president, we're all sorry when bad things happen to good people. but we have a real problem on the ground. and we have a real need to start getting involved. when you see that kind of pushback inside the administration, when you see people going in public, cabinet secretaries going in public, and basically a rebuttal from the pentagon to eric holder who talked about this in law enforcement terms, when you

chris stirewalt here to analyze that. fox news digital politics editor. chris, good morning to you there in washington. how does this change now the equation do you believe? >> whenever you have an american killed by an enemy it changes the equation. when you have an american killed as video depicts, in a gruesome fashion, in a taunting fashion, it certainly changes it, especially if it is a journalist who was there doing good work. that changes it. but i'll tell you, the decision by david cameron to cut short his vacation to return home and get into action and start consulting with legislative leaders, start consulting with other, put as considerable amount of pressure on president obama to do the same. bill: at the end of that video there is apparently a clip of another american who is being held, "wall street journal" says he is american freelance journalist steven sotlof. you put this into the occasion -- equation, chris, and you consider the strong possibility that this could happen again within a matter of days. >> the president has made a convincing

thank you, chris stirewalt. >> you bet. bill: in washington. nice to see you, chris.lly: america's election headquarters. the results are in for a key race in kansas. three-term republican senator pat roberts beating back a tea party challenger. 48-41% victory against dr. milton wolf in yesterday's primary. chief political correspondent carl cameron is live in kansas city, kansas. carl? >> reporter: we're awaiting for gop unit breakfast where last night pat roberts pulled off the nomination for fourth u.s. senate term against a very tough tea party challenge from dr. martin wolf. it was rough. results show it. pat roberts was unable to crest 50% and won only 7% of the vote. a long-time incumbent against first-time candidate was tough. his remarks he used specifically to send a message to republican party, tea party rebels, insurgents making trouble for washington incumbents. >>> republicans in kansas and nationally can not afford the kind of intra-party frat at that side we've seen recently. friends, we can't afford to waste scarce resources and energy tearing ourselv

of the chris stirewalt, our fox news digital politics editor. essee today, covering lamar alexander's primary vick from last evening. chris, good morning. welcome from here. you look at the map. the middle east is back at war between hamas this morning and the israelis. we're bombing artillery targets in northern iraq that the islamic militants have taken control of. you have putin putting tens of thousands of russian soldiers on the eastern ukrainian border. you've bottom a mess and now you have to find a way to find a solution. how do you see this now politically? >> well, i'm in tennessee because it is a midterm year and it is, all anybody in washington wants to talk about, all american politicians talk about are the midterm elections but guess what? the world has a funny way of intruding on our plans and that is what is happening for this president and that is what is happening for his fellow democrats looking to hold on to the senate, this president has a terrible approval rating on foreign policy. it is going south and it used to be his hig

fox news digital politics editor chris stirewalt joins me now. james freeman is here along will. et me start with you, now everyone is watching the president to see what his reaction is. is staying on vacation sending the right message? i mean, perhaps it is. maybe it is saying you're not going to change what we're doing. i don't know, how does that work in your mind? >> well the president clearly is not in worried about optics phase or perhaps that very optic he is unperturbed by the circumstance he is trying to create having gone directly to play golf from giving those remarks but look, the issue here has less to do with the optics. we talk about the optics a lot. we slice and dice the baloney pretty thin as we talk about what presidents do and don't do. this however, i would submit this is not a question of about optics. this is a question about choices. the president is faced essentially with binary choice, essentially will he act to destroy isis, or, will he act to continue to protect u.s. interests where he sees them? he gave his answer today and look like not in keeping wha

chris stirewalt, fox news digital politics editor, he joins me now. chris, those are pretty tough numbers for the president on this issue. how does that dovetail, do you think, with chuck hagel's statement saying it may not be necessary to do that rescue mission at all? >> well, i don't think we would have been talking about the rescue mission at all if it had not been for the precipitous slide of the president of the esteem in which the american people hold the president on foreign policy. previously his strong point with voters, even when the economy was bad, even when they were frustrated with obamacare, even when they were frustrated with scandals in the administration, foreign policy remained a high point. but with his efforts in libya and afghanistan coming to very unhappy ends with vladimir putin on the march, this crisis in iraq, this spillover from the civil war in syria, had driven the president's numbers down to this unacceptably low level. that's unacceptable, not just for him but for the democrats who are trying to hold the united states s

ever lovable chris stirewalt is our fox news analyst. we've seen it from the president before. work this time around? >> well, it worked for him when he was running for president and he ran negative campaign for re-election. he won with fewer electoral votes than he did the first type around. you ground out a win, he beat up mitt romney. and as joe biden says don't compare me to the almighty, compare me to the alternative. he got in for a second term. wasn't pretty, but it worked. however, when you talk about congress, the president should bear in mind that his party controls the upper chamber, it is a democratic senate. when the president goes out and rips on congress and they're mean, nasty and jerks and they don't pass anything, the thing he's trying to do, interestingly, is keep incumbents in office. his job is to make sure that the republicans don't flip a net six-seat gain in the united states senate. he has to keep incumbents in office. the more he goes out and trash talks congress, he's actually stoking the fires of antiincumbency and actually stoking the fires of peopl

>>> joining me now, chris stirewalt, fox news digital editor. why did the president come off of his vacation? it wasn't just a decision he made in the last few days? >> right. maybe a half million dollar question because that's probably about what it costs for the president to come. the administration always -- not every administration points out, the president is president wherever he goes. he's got the football. he can push the button. he can do everything that the president do whether he's at his vacation compound on the atlantic coast or whether he's at the white house. so what's the point in coming back? as you point out, why schedule it? why was this on the books for a couple weeks before he actually did it? it's obviously not about the islamic say the emerging in iraq. it is obviously not about ferguson because those things weren't in the news at that time. he wants you to know, however, some things about his visit. he wants you to know that he's spending time focused on those issues. he's meeting with eric holder. his point man on the fe

we'll check in with chris stirewalt and host of others with fast moving developments on that.friday morning. back in a moment. a body at rest tends to stay at rest...cs... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long per

ed: chris stirewalt is fox news digital editor. the president failed to learn the lesson from pre-9/11? >> reporter: i know the lesson he did learn. libya hangs over the president's intervention as part of an allies western force in libya. when he pulled back in syria the first time to take out bashar al-asaad's regime there, libya was have much around that discussion. the exercise in libya had not gone well, it has been something of a disaster. now, you hear the pentagon pushing the president. you have got to get in there. get the coalition together. france is ready. get a coalition together and we have got to engage. is he willing to do that? i don't know. that's not something he has been willing to do since the libya debacle. ed: it seems you are talking about two different fronts within the administration. you have dempsey and hagel seeming to send a message to the manltder in chief yesterday. you can't do this by containing isis. you had general dempsey who had been reluck and the in the past saying you are not going to win wi
