on your station, lou. >> concentration camps? >> they have described them in detail, that order is going to come. >> answer the question. >> and when you see somebody show up -- >> has anyone done what ed shultz said? has anyone done that? this is beyond the pale -- >> i think there are people doing the exact equivalent or the radio, the media equivalent of selling discord and then in effect placing metaphorically a loaded gun on the table and then walking out of the room. >> my god, to even use that meta for. i have to be honest with you, you and i have known each other for a long time. that is a patently ideological -- >> lou, wait. >> chris, i don't -- we don't want to leave chris out of this debate. >> i think what is illustrated here is that -- >> no. the only thing i see here is nobody is talking about health care anymore. we are talking about the mob. we're talking about the president. exactly. but i think the point here is that white house has lost control of this discussion. congress lost control of the discussion. they

so, lou, we just don't know who is behind this request. lou? >> well, i think we can begin by just asking, simply, who is the speaker of the house and who is the majority leader of the senate? would that be a reasonable starting point? >> yes, and to be completely fair, most of the rank and file members of congress are not flying in style in these luxury. but you hit it on the head. it is the elite in washington, the leaders in congress. but those are the folks who are generally flying in style here. >> lisa, thank you very much. lisa sylvester, i'm sure they're going to be reviewing all of that videotape of those auto company executives. thanks very much. >>> up next here, another look at tonight's top stories. among those stories, the tearful homecoming of two american journalists set free by north korea. our "face-off" debate tonight, what may be turning into a summer of discontent over the president's health care agenda. >>> controversy continues tonight over a poster from an unknown source, turning up all around the country now, depicting

lou? >> thank you, kitty. one of the things we're seeing here, we have gone through six nations, looking at the comparisons, we're going to continue that, probably we'll look at 25 systems before this is concluded, this series of special reports. one of the things that must be fascinating to folks is to see that there are nations, i think most americans think they have the highest life expectancy in the world. i think most americans, and i'm saying this without any knowledge of any polling on it, i think they also believe that ours is the best and is not as far askewed in terms of the cost as it obviously is right now. >> yes. when you do the cost comparisons it interesting to see. it is enlightening to see what works and what doesn't. you have test models out there globally, you can really actually look. >> and oddly must have, the national media not focusing upon them and oddly enough neither the democrats nor the republicans focusing on them or trying to speak in the public debate about the merits and the d

up next, lou dobbs tonight. lou? >> good evening. thank you everybody. the obama white house and powerful special interest groups joining forces. their plan to attack the president's government proposal. >>> large polls showing a large desserting president obama. >>> fighting back against the democratic's party assault. they are, in fact, demanding the right to be heard at town hall meetings and in a barrage of e-mails targeting members of congress. >>> in our face-off debate tonight, we exam the issue of whether the federal government has a moral obligation to provide health care as many liberals are asserting now. first, the white house has opened a new front in its campaign to sell the president's plan. why officials are calling on democrats to send out a barrage of e-mails to support the agenda. david axelrod says those e-mails should debunk what he calls myths and lies. it's an attempt by the white house to stop the president's health care plan from collapsing altogether. dan lothian has our report from the white house. dan? >> indeed. the white hou

lou? >> thank you, and good evening, everybody. the white house is trying to spin its way out of a controversy over a possible middle class tax increase, a controversy driven, in part, by two of the administration's top officials. we will have a special report on whether the president is planning to break a key campaign promise. >>> also, rising outrage across the country over the president's health care plan. congressmen returning home for their august recess, they're hearing from their constituents. >>> and the president's plan facing protests similar to the anti-tax t.e.a. parties earlier in the year. president obama, as well, facing strong opposition to that health care overhaul from his own form doctor. dr. david shiner stays doesn't go far enough. dr. shiner among my guests here tonight. >>> first, the rising uproar over the possibility of a broken campaign promise and middle-class tax hike. the white house today trying to play down that controversy over remarks by two of the leading

up next is "lou dobbs tonight."ou. >> thanks, suzanne, the white house insisting the president wants to sign a health care bill with republican support but top democrats saying they're ready to shut republicans out of the process to achieve their goals no matter how they do it. democratic sources telling cnn at the end of the day, a win is a win. also, after failing to convince the american people on the health care plans and town halls all across this country. president obama is changing its pitch. now emphasizing the emotion, and moral responsibility of health care. and the one thing our elected officials on the national media aren't talking about, jobs. tonight we talk about jobs, continuing our special series of reports, on the critical issue of jobs and jobs now. >>> live from new york, mr. independent, lou dobbs. >> good evening it seems inevitable tonight that president obama will try to pass his health care plans with democratic vote as lone. top democrats are focused on a go it alone strategy trying to repa

i mean, you steal a truck, you're going to be on edge, right, lou? >> yeah. obviously. and you're probably anticipating being chased. and the simple truth of this matter is whoever this individual was precipitated his own death. the police exercised what i would consider to be proper discretion. you have to take into account that someone made an illegal left-hand turn and probably could be sued for wrongful death even though this individual stole the truck. that's just the law. to feel that the police were complicit in any way with this unfortunate death of this individual is just not true. >> what about that, jennifer? lou's throwing out that the person who hit the guy driving the stolen truck could be more liable than the cops. >> oh, i find that ridiculous. very preposterous. road. judging the speed bottom line. to say they precipitated his death, that's ridiculous. >> we've got a disagreement. he stole the truck. he precipitated this whole event. lou, last word really quick. >> any way that you want to slice, this the simple fact of the matter is regardless of the i

lou? >> then why are administration officials suggesting that it isn't important, the president himself going to some lengths, if you will, to talk it down a bit? >> that's a very good question. robert gags on the return here to washington. he was pressed time and time again, and they seem to think this is really being overblown. that what is happening here is what the president has said all along, he's always been open to other good ideas. and so he remains open. they don't think this is a shift in policy. >> all right. thank you very much, dan. dan lothian from the white house. >>> new indications of sharp divisions within the president's party. many democrats among them are refusing to support the health care legislation. congressman boyd concerned about the cost of the plan and the so-called public option. jessica yellin has our report. >> reporter: here's one way to diffuse town hall rage, side with the critics on something. >> i cannot support this bill in the version it's in now. we

lou? >> lisa, thank you very much. lisa sylvester from washington. >>> more people in the private sector lose their jobs, government jobs are actually increasing. a study released today says state and local governments have added 110,000 jobs since the recession began. total employment in state and local government rose in 30 states. fell in 16. unchanged in four others over the past year. i'll have a few thoughts about that, job creation in this country and what is going on with our economy and why washington is not paying attention. join me on the radio monday through fridays for the "lou dobbs show" 4:00 p.m. each afternoon in new york and around the country go to loudobbs.com to get the local listings for the lou dobbs show and subscribe to our podcast. today we talked about the president's sudden conversion to religious leaders to pursue a political goal. you can hear the entire interview and more by subscribing to our podcast at loudobbs.com and follow me on twitter.com. lou dobbs news on twitter.com each and eve

let's bring in lou. as we watch this, and first, give us -- when police say they're monitoring, you know, they call off the chase, they're in detroit there and begin monitoring, how close are they following? what are we not seeing here? >> it might not identify the specific distance in what they're monitoring. a lot of police agencies in larger cities have air support. as you can well tell, the media was helping us monitor this situation. and there isn't an exact designated distance in which you monitor. usually the line of sight. the other thing here is that you have to take into account what the criminal act was. on the surface. that's a car theft. you have to measure the risk to innocent people. very innocent people. the factors that pursuits institute or terminate aren't laws. they're policies of agencies. and depending on the agency, they have a different policy. my perception of this is the police exercised good judgment. and they allowed themselves some distance and the potential of possibly inter

let's go to the lou. >>> good evening, everybody. president obama's pole numbers are plunging after 200 days in office. his critics say the president has lost control of his agenda. we'll have complete coverage for you. three top political analysts will be here. also, the showdown over the president's health care plan is turning nasty. the democratic national committee saying republicans have called out the mob. a leading republican senator accuseless the white house of compiling an enemy's list. and rising anger after a federal judge has ordered the state of california to free tens of thousands of prisoners, almost one-third of the state's prison population. we'll have that special report. >>> but first, 200 days into his presidency, barack obama faces a major test of leadership. the president's approval ratings are plunging. and his agenda is in trouble. a new cnn research corporation poll shows only 51% of americans now consider the obama administration to be a success. that compares with a figure of 56% for president george w. bu

up next, lou dobbs tonight. lou? >> thank you. >>> good evening, everybody, the white house is insisting tonight it's not sending mixed messages over the president's health care plan after days of shifting policy and language, the obama administration now says a government-run public option remains the cornerstone of the president's plan. the fight over the so-called public option has exposed obviously a deep rift within the president's party in congress. house democrats tonight are actually threatening to kill the legislation all together if there is no government option, and with all of the talk over health care and health care legislation, no one seems focused on the more than 30 million americans without a job. tonight, we will be focusing on them, and the reasons for the high unemployment in this country, and the lack of a public policy solution. our special new segment on this show begins tonight, "jobs now! ". >>> good evening, the obama administration today trying to end what has become an uproar that it caus

lou? >> given the poll numbers that we're looking at, that becomes something of a daunting task for the democrats, does it not? >> reporter: well, what is very interesting here, when you come to senator grassley's town hall meetings, and there's been four of them, so we've got a good gist. >> what did you say, he wrapped up 75 of them? >> this year. he's done more than 2800 in his senate career. >> good for him. god bless. >> certainly he wins for stamina. that's for sure. she stays for an hour, all of them. these aren't hit and runs. he's really getting buff ted on two sides. here in adelle, what was really interesting is we had one woman stand up and say, listen, that you're even trying to compromise, there is no compromise with this liberal package. we won't take any of it. right after her, someone got up and said, you know, i'm a christian woman and i'm a liberal, why are you not correcting all the lies out there about death beds and natd sive signs with barack obama? both ways he goes

independence, lou dobbs. >> good evening, everybody. president obama today insisted the fight over health care is not about politics or ideology but you he says it's about necessity. the president appealing to his most loyal supporters to help him sell that message in the weeks and perhaps the months ahead. the latest push comes just a day after president obama urged religious leaders to help him. the president saying "we're god's partners." the president also firing at his critics accusing them of spreading lies or as he put it bearing false witness. but exactly seven months into his term, president obama is now struggling to sell his top priority, a health care overhaul

bill: i got to get to lou dobbs. >> bush v.the most activist judicial decision in the history of our republican. bill: i disagree. >> except for maybe dred scott. bill: you have a beef with me for sticking up for lou dobbs? >> lou dobbs has done more to slander latin people in this country than any other single human being. he has made the image of a young latino man climbing the border wall into this profoundly negative icon that has totally perverted the discussion over immigration reform. bill: listen, i have never -- i have never endorsed mr. dobbs' views, ever. >> and his -- the thing about the birther -- bill: please. come on. >> what is this? bill: you know my stance on that. >> i do. that's why i'm surprised to hear you and bernie. bill: his wife and children were attacked. >> whoever does that that is beyond the pale. bill: that's all. >> i feel the same way about -- even don's. bill: he has a right to his opinion without his wife and children being dragged into it. geraldo rivera, everybody. we have got to go. plenty

some people did. >> tim: lou piniella did. >> lou did and reggie did. >> tim: piniella was very impressed as a pilot. >> whe faa report had it as pilot error at the end and most people remember plane crash, pilot error, thurman dies. awful thing. but there was so much more to the story as it turned out because people forget that there were two passengers in there. and thurman's actions after the missteps saved their lives. he took that plane down and actually all three of them survived. jerry anderson sitting in the back seat said, oh, my god, we have survived a plane crash and, you know, there were errors, the flaps weren't lowered, the air speed was too low, the altitude was wrong. but thurman he's -- he's managing. they're going along at high speed, but they're in this field. and if they hadn't hit a tree stump -- >> tim: tree stump, right. >> tree stump was the fatal moment, it hit the left wing, it jarred thurman's seat ands he paralyzed. the other two couldn't get him out and he was dead weight and that was the end of thurman. >> tim: what was the feeling like on the orioles that ni

we asked lou holtz, to you, what stands out in the top 10? i look at the top 10, the first thing that jumps out at me is three teams from the big 12 are ranked in the top 10. i'm telling you, the big 12 south -- texas, oklahoma and oklahoma state are all from the big 12 south. they're going to have to play one another. who is the best team in the big 12 north? kansas, which comes in at number 25. that doesn't seem fair to me. >> thank you, dr. lou. >> professional football, jeremy shockey and the saints taking on texas, shockey got into a training-camp scuffle with the texans. shockey can work and play well with others. shockey, look at that, hurdling a defender on the way to a seven-yard gain. later in the second quarter, mike bell takes the handoff then takes off, finding a seam through the right side, runs 46 yards -- it's an open house and everyone is invited, saints blow out the texans 38-14. >> semifinal, cincinnati masters, roger federer against andy murray, murray has won four in a row against roger. when roger was told about the stre
