lou: this is wrong.ere is instead of talking about procedural issues, which is about what -- which is what we're left with here on this fight, the establishment, republican party, is bailing on these guys. >> finalist -- spineless weasels, ted cruz is having traction now. the reasons he is gaining traction here, american people are paying attention, is obamacare, healthy care reform was never about health care, you could talk about hemorrhaging of doctors until you are blue in the face, for the left, for obama, reid, pelosi and left, obama care was always about power of the government and control. good for cruz. >> a large moral issue involve no one wants to talk about, by there legislation, controlled by one industry, okay? we're going to see the determination finally once and for all who will live and who will die based upon cost, 40% of every health care dollar is used in last 30 days of life, people will not be allowed to have care, this is wrong. lou: you are a democrat. >> i know. lou: sarah palin

lou: ."in small things, a small minded rules, the most important thing is the first proclamation. jesus christ has saved you and the ministers of the church must be ministers above all. that is so eloquent and powerful. what is he -- where is he going? >> and it lends itself to misinterpretation. what he said was the church should not insist only on these issues. like gay marriage, abortion. but he knows that it lends itself to misinterpretation, and he says i am willing to take that risk. he is saying their is a danger also in speaking the truth. the focus of the gospel message as he sees it is not proclaimed. and so he says, i am choosing to talk about mercy. and he even said that people have reprimanded him. imagine people reprimanding the pope over nonspeaking enough about abortion and gay marriage, contraception, accept a. you know what, i am doing this on purpose. lou: i would not think that he would not be doing it with significant purpose. are we seeing a real shift in the church? the

lou. lou: thank you very much. to be clear and straightforward year, the cleveland clinic says it has been because of the changes created by obamacare. >> well, there are a number of contributing factors. but the changes created by health care reform are very significant, specifically because the reimbursements from medicaid, medicare, and private insurance on go down. what obamacare does not do is address the cost in terms of providing that health care and running a hospital. lou: thank you very much. mike tobin. a new report to underline what might just said shows the total spending on health care in our country hit a record just shy of 3 trillion last year. that is nearly $9,000 per person in this country. and the figure is expected to rise again this year. the united states, by the way, spends nearly 18 percent of our gross domestic product a on health care according to the most recent research. the next closest to the united states in the developed world is the netherlands with expenditures on health care. 12

lou: mike emmanuel. joining me to discuss the building budget battle we have a member of the house judiciary and arred services committee. good to have you with us. what is the prospect of a government shutdown as we stand right now? >> if you listen to the president his team's most are prepared to shut the government down unless they get their way i don't think americans like the police so i think it is a grand probability if they're not prepared to sit down to negotiate. lou: what is negotiable? is a prospect to simply defer for one year the implementation of the individual mandate? so try to deal with the many feelings -- failings. >> is a possibility but looking at what the leadership has done with their with the debt ceiling i would do it differently. right off of the house floor i put the leadership names from every leader in the senate and house on the other side and i would invite them into five wedges and speaker boehner if they were not there i would tell the press we will bback at noon so the

lou: thank you very much. for more now on if the russians may be offering president obama a way out of the mess he created, we welcome former pentagon official national security analyst kt mcfarland. pulitzer award-winning columnist judith miller. let's start with this bizarre series of statements and remarks, comments. it looks like tonight i have a possibility becoming a framework for a leader. >> it may be an odd form of diplomacy, but they have stumbled into something that may give president obama the out he has been looking for when he looks to see the way the hell is stacking up at 80% of the american people, more now than when he started talking about military strike opposed to this, he needed an lifeline and it looks like he has been thrown one by vladimir putin. lou: the narrative, it cannot convey the massive surprise and the absurdity and offhand remark about as buttoned-down as you can get. it could lead to a real resolution, couldn't it? >> yet almost wonder how long he has been planning this. he

lou: audacious.ident that he is turning over some space to another than senator john mccain. it ought to be a fierce op-ed piece, don't you think? >> it absolutely will, and i could not agree more. i think we're in a terrible situation where it is hard for anyone to make the case that president obama has any credibility. putin and assad have been able to expertly exploit the weaknesses, and they just pick up on anything they have been able to exploit and really taken upper hand on this. lou: lasting much of the discussion in the report here on syria the present position and that now of assad in putin is the fact that civil war, just about two and a half years store rate -- duration is still going. more than 100,000 people killed. and there is still no clear -- let me rephrase that. there is not even and ambiguous opaque look at resolution here and there is still no definition, it seems to me, in national interest whatsoever in the syrian civil war. what in the world are we doing? >> well, i think one

lou: thank you.the house oversight committee set to hold his own hearing on the benghazi attack tomorrow. with that, mike mullen and investor bickering. my next guest will be attending the hearing. joining us to discuss the investigation, the latest republican bush to defund obamacare, member of the house oversight and judiciary committees, chair of the immigration and border security subcommittee. congressman, good to have you with us. this is a bold stroke by the leadership in about 180 degrees away from the initial offering of the speaker last week to the senate democrats in which he decoupled the continuing resolution, the budget, defunding obamacare. what happened? >> i think if the speaker were here talking to you, he would tell you his preference was always to have this ideological battle over the debt ceiling as opposed to the continuing resolution. for most of your viewers, that is a pretty boring point but appears matters but he wants a fight fight over the debt ceiling or to the speaker's

lou: thank you.ning us now, general jack keene, retired four-star army general, former vice chief of staff, also fox is military analyst. let's begin with this statement about limited and proportionate strikes. as senator kerry, secretary of state carry today acknowledged, they are giving serious notice that this will be limited duration, it will not be a significant strike in the minds of many which would be defined by killing or removing assad from power. >> i am not certain i understand all of it myself, to be frank. we know what those words mean, but we do not know what they mean as apply to military intervention. frankly, it is limited in duration. we know it will take a night or two to do what they need to do. at most, three or four. that has me to do with asssssing the target. and suddenly the proportionality of it seems to be fixated on deterring the use of chemical weapons and also degrading the capability, but it is undefined what that is. i would imagine that tomorrow in closed session the

lou: -- basket cases. lou: further complicating it.eral jack king pointed out in gegeographical terms the east, west, and northwest of the country is controlled by extremists as is much of the eastern part of syria, and in between our so-called quote, unquote, moderate elements of the opposition. all sitting well above damascus. this is a maddening feature for military that has to carry out strikes, this is going to be very difficult by any measure circumstance it not? >> it is. , again it has to be the to find targets with objectives that have affects that support our strategy, support the united states and its allies, humanitarian assistance, while positions forces tied to jordan, israel, and turkey are what is key. not just striking for revenge, or because of a statement made preof previously, it is too late to enforce. so it is not limited strikes are not going to to anything now for our benefit. lou: our commanders will follow the orders of their commander in chief. but to put our military in the position of going into a unilatera

lou: catherine heritage. the cause of the strike is a major argument the secretary of defense said a limited and proportionate strike would cost in the tens of millions of dollars the chief of naval operations did not back up the boss even to go so far as a supplemental budget request may be needed to teach her a the assad regime military capability. >> a strike group operating will cost an extended operations with a lot of flying as opposed to routine flight will cost about $40 million per week. if it is not flying that much if it is routine it is about 25 million per week. lou: to add in the cost of each tomahawk cruise missile at $155 million apiece you can see how quickly it could get out of control the pentagon itself does not seem concerned. >> if the operation goes for freer access to conduct the mission we will do it if it is that important we will find a way to pay for it. lou: my next guest says united states doesn't have an interest to assist either side of the conflict to referee a civil war again

lou: on this media? this was not an honest media that the ar-15 is in the possession that there were three guns, not to in the possession and very few reporting it was a shot and a handgun and that was bought legally. >> that the american people cannot agree on. outside of this network alone many people sit here with everything reported over the last 48 hours a neighbor so quick to judge why people on the left tweeting it out those that were supporting those that were encouraging the second amendment because they encourage them to do that. lou: this was quite a display. >> the had the wrong name, more than one shooter in the wrong weapons. where i disagree with you and the panel is i thought the president came not to give a speech about economic policy to express concern and sympathy for people who have lost their life with the entire tragedy but then went on to give a speech about what has happened with budget in five years after the economic collapse and had nothing to do with the navy yard in a way in

lou: good evening. thank you for being with us the driving force behind forcing a vote on the defunding of obamacare. first they blasted their own leadership for being partof the bedwetter wing of the republican party that caused the speaker to reverse himself to call for a vote then they blasted senator cruz the darling of conservatives to say they have the democrats to strip defunding from the house legislation. but they're getting the same treatment from the speaker in cruz reverse the on dash griffin reversed himself we will do everything necessary anything possible to defund obamacare. and anything else any procedural means necessary it is easy to focus on the political back and forth. lou: quite a reversal by the senator. this is a different republican party than even one year ago. speaker peter -- boehner shows considerable leadership. senator cruz after making a terrible mistake in the house shows he actually understands the best way to fix his mistakes are to quickly do so. when republicans sai

lou: mr.n, have you ever seen a president standing before cameras to approve and support his desire to strike a sovereign nation unilaterally, and at the same time, call 48 away in the bill for the authority that he had sought at the outset. what are your thoughts on this? >> well, it was schizophrenic in that regard. clearly he wants to impress upon the american people that the seriousness of the problem, it was also apparent to me that he and his administration did not have a coherent plan that people could look at it and say, yes, this is an achievable objective it is going to have a positive result, and we know how we will expect ourselves and we know that we will not be having serious ramifications for ourselves or a host of other groups concerned about what might happen here. christians in syria and neighboring countries and so on. so from that standpoint, i don't think it served him well. but i do think that we are pleased that he made a wise decision at the end to back away from asking

i think lou got the right recipe on this one. [laughter] >> and i think the recipe was all the things i just said about what he had to do to get this done, and the recipe included some main ingredients from our board of supervisors to add to that. so, brown the bread. lou, i just want to let you know that not only have we appreciated your work, but we all appreciate this wonderful approach that you did. and it was unique, but it was something that was absolutely necessary to get everybody out of their positions and into an agreed upon posture. with that, i'd like to bring board president david chiu to the podium because i know he spent incredible amount of time on this. and, again, thank you, president chiu. and thank you, mark farrell, and thank you, david campos. david chiu.

>> i was surprised, lou.of these men are preeminent government officials, the service of washington d.c. certainly, working in multiple positions, some very influential for multiple presidents, and they sort of know the rules. very rarely do you see a former government official criticizing a serving president that they work for and the both of them did it at the same time. it was quite striking to see it, and i just think it just provides our viewers with the -- that deals with syria and the frustration that people have as it pertains to it. >> thank you, general, as always. >>> most of america hates obama care, so why doesn't congress do something about it? our guest tonight has the answers. heritage foundation president jim demint next. neil and buzz: for teaching us that you can't create the future... by clinging to the past. and with that: you're history. instead of looking behind... delta is looking beyond. 80 thousand of us investing billions... in everything from the best experiences below... to the fi
