here to analyze fox business anchor lou dobbs. beat up on president obama because that's just partisan stuff and we don't want to do that. but what i don't understand is, it doesn't seem to resonate with the american people that we are -- this is a catastrophe. it is a catastrophe to owe this kind of money and it doesn't seem to be any urgency in washington to fix it amend the voters aren't running around demanding it be fixed. they are going to up it to 1.2. it's going to happen. nobody is going to stand in his way. >> part of the deal from last summer, bill as you know. this is the third trawnch, amazing. $400 billion. then 900 billion this fall and now 1.2 trillion. we're headed toward $16.5 trillion. no one. >> bill: in debt. >> in debt. >> bill: people say that's not real money. they don't believe it's real money. we are paying -- we the united states of america $10 billion a day in interest. in interest to the chinese investors and everybody else that has lent us money. >> president obama himself, bill, in 2008 said, you kno

lou dobbs is the host of "lou dobbs tonight," he joins me now. hi, lou. >> good to see you. alisyn: gas prices have ticked up steadily, six cents in just the past week. now, typically in winter gas prices are lower than they are in spring and summer. what's happening here? >> well, a couple things are happening, and as you said and as you well know what is happening with iran is creating some suspense in the world oil markets. that's at the margin. but what is more significant at least in my view is that home heating oil prices are right now sort of in limbo because demand for heating oil because of our warmer winter is really declining. so the refiners are caught in sort of, you know, a situation where they're watching their margins drop, they're watching their top line drop, and as a result they're trying to hold prices higher, in some case move prices higher, for gasoline to offset what they're losing with home heating oil. now, the reality is that iran's not helping in any way, but what we're watching here is a little more complicated than just iran. alisyn: okay, that's

one of the stories we covered on lou dobbs tonight. botched gun race botch furious.n a death of u.s. border patrol agent briantery and 200 mexican citizens. the operationn allowed thousands of illegal guns to walk across the u.s.-mexico border and in the hands of the mexican drug cartel. that part of the story is widely reported. what is not often reported beyond this broadcast however is the motivation for the operation in the first place and the vast amounts of money. and hundreds of billions of dollars that flow legally and illegally across our border with mexico. mexico, you may be interested to learn is this country third largest trading partner in the world and half trillion in trade this year . much of the trade is in petroleum. we import 1.2 million barrels of oil in this country every day from mexico making mexico our third largest source of oil. that reality influenced without a doubt open door policies with mexico that for decades refused to join the united states in the war on drugs. the mexican drug cartels themselves steal - stale mated the mexican gove
