The post writing of the findings, quote, president bush had a 47 at the end of the his firefight year of presidency and other post war ii president s. The numbers get worse. When asked who they trust to do a better job with the nations approximate . Respondents have the president now tied with Congressional Republicans at 41 . Only a year ago, the president had a 15point lead. Now its gone. All gone. The president also trails republicans on the economy by four points. Last year at this time, president obama held an 18point lead on economic issues. The revelations of scandal after scandal the declaraons that have turbid out to be lies and the failed rollout of the federal Health Care Law has contributed to his nose dive in his poll, jay carney today, admitted that the president s sinking numbers are can hurting his credibility and effectiveness with congress. Does he really still have the power to move the public, t move the congress on these big issues . When he Approval Ratings continue to sink . Again, ed, you wont hear an argument from me that everyone in washington hass taking a hit. More poor timing coming for the dministration. President obama himself praisee the fictional congressman Frank Underwood from hbos house of cards the ruthless character played by oscar winner kevin spacey who manipulates his way to the presidency through lies and ultimately murder. I wish things were ruthlessly true. Li kevin spacey. Our first guest tonight, voted in favor of the budget compromise in the hous he also stresses the deal eases the burden caused by the sequester, joining us now scott, member of the budget committee, congressman, good to have you with us, you and many of your colleagues in the house, particularly those who style yourself as conservatives wrestle mightily on this, what was the point to cast your vote to support it. Thank you, lou. A critical topic for our country. The alternatives before us were this, if i voted no, we would have had continuing resolutions where we fund things that didnt need to be funding. I have been among i think the strongest advocates for returning to regular order, where we have a topline budget and we have agreed to that in this agreement and work through all of the appropriations bill. If the sete approves, almost a certaintt they will approve it tomorrow and move it on, regular order will be restored. Were talking about 85 billion against a budget in x sesz of 3. 3 trillion that doesnt amount. This isnt small potatoes. In terms of financial number. But in terms of returning to regular order,nd establishing a budget for two years, after successive continuing resolutions that make a mockery of the budget process, this is a very big deal, isnt it . It is really a big deal and im in a season of public service. This is really the first time that i have really felt that i could come home and come before this incredible district tho serve. So we have a lot of defense contractors and this isnt just protect the home base here, lou. I have the privilege of working with our general. I told my colleagues the day we were wrestling with this, if youre inclined to vote no, i said come with me and hear the direct and very real damage that can continuing resolutions combined with sequestration are doing to our military and the fiscal consertive, i said lets get back on regular order here and get on to mandatory spending. And what is your reaction, congressman, and your thoughts and your concerns in the cost of living benefits for retiri military personnel under the age of 62 . The provision that would cut benefits. Lou i answered the question today, i was talking to a group of our ship repair folks, no morehan 200 people in the room, the very last question was on this, i knew that this question was coming and i told my colleagues, my republican colleagues that were going to have to wstle with this, because its a reduction, whats not being shared in the media, when the Service Member does reach 62, that cost of living increa increase where they didnt participate for all of these years pontially, they get caught up at the age of 62. Wounded warriors, theres no reduction. Theres reduction of 1 . Flation minus 1 . Its a difficult decision, lou. Thats why it was not easy for to vote for this. I pulled this voting card in my coat pocket out, i have a oice, green for yes or red for no, this isnt i wish i had a different choice button there. I looked at the sum of all of this, whats important here, lou, now were going to return to regular order, theres not excuse for any member of congress, republican or democrat, to get back on mandatory. Fair enough. Any excuse for the republicans or the democrats to put the country and the politics of capitol hill in position to shut down the government after the new year as you move to the next issue is the debt ceiling . I struggle with thiss a businessman, im still an owner of a business, it ally deeply affect our business if we went into any kind of default, but at the same time, i dont want to enable what i so despise, its moral. The direction were going. I understand. But people are just outright sick of seeing the Republic Party and in each case its been the Republican Party has had the choice. You have shown greatjudgment, i think a level, goodheaded common sense in dealing with whats symbolic numbers but return to order. Surely youre not telling me the Republican Leadership would throw that all away on the debt ceiling, why not go to the polls with your arguments and stop this nonsense . Here we go, lou, were right on track, i think any candidate, an uncome bent or a new candidate, they need to be asked, what specally do you propose to get mandatory spending . Dont let those candidates get away from that difficult question thats got to be answered. That question cant be posed until next november. Im asking you right now, is your leadership committed of to avoiding a shutdown of the government again . Yes, they are. What we need to do im going to take what we can. In the time were alotted. I understand. I understand. We shouldnt shut the government down at the same time, lou, we got i would urge the republicans, get out and get a ground game going and move some voters to the polls, because thats where the answers lie not in parliamentary maneuvers, i applaud the Republican Leadership for moving forward in this direction and specifically, congressman paul ryan who pulled out the i was proud of him. I wont be very proud if it results in another shutdown in the debt ceiling, congressman. I dont think thats going to happen, lou. I dont. Well take that as assurance and its welcome. Congressman, thank you. Thank you so much. Up next, the tea party, well, they say that john bey ne declared war on them. Well be talking with former Republican National Committee Chairman mike duncan about john boehn boehners job security and by the way, how is the war on coal going . Not as well as the president might like. The internet is having a lot of fun with the president after the president holding this card, encouraging young people to get covered with obamacare, because quote, nobody should go broke just because they get sick, end quote. It has been photo shopped dozen of times. Its a ubiquitous across the web. Obamacare canceled the plan that you had and liked. And the National Republican congressional committee, also, participating, creating a version with the president holding a card, reading hashtag dont wor. Because i got a trillion coin to fix all this. The tea party is in an allout war with House Speaker john boehner, for whatever reason, he decided to start the feud, escalated it yesterday. Saying some groups lost all credibility. Tea part y favorites fired back. Saying, boehner delivered what they call a smug rant. Joining us now to talk about the not socivil war within the Republican Party and much more, mike duncan, the former chairman of the Republican National committee, he n heads up of the American Coalition for clean coal electricity. Great to have you here. This president has declared war on not only fossil fuels but coal in particular, he says if you own coal and if you got any plans for coals, youre out of business. Youre having kwiemt a different experience sf. Coal is alive and well in the United States. Parts of the country certainly understand feel like they have been in the war, eastern kentucky, ere we lost over 6,000 jobs in the last go years. Why in the world is the industry putting up with it, there was a time when you saw people hitting, i mean, getting screwed like this and they stood up for it, you know, and the politiciansad a clear, loud voice, theyre just getting rolled here . The industry is fighting back, were fighting back in court and in congress, but congress has bee somewhat dysfunctional, if you win in congress you till have the veto threat. Hes taking this through the regulation process, hes using the epa standards and hes getting ready to put out standards for existing coal plants. A wearing just evebody out with the epa. You have cleaned up your act. Youre using it in much cleaner fashion and yet the epa says, the hell with you. The last 90 of the particles have been removed from coal in this country. Coal is affordable, reliable and increasingly clean. Congress, its getting interesting right now. Speaker boehner attacking the tea party, specific heritage action, the club for growth, these outfits, freedom works, whats going on, your party is starting to show some grit, some life, and some spark . I kind of like it to be honest with you. We only one good candida away from the president of the United States from hing unity within our party. Were having a free throw of ideas, were bringing more people into the party. But there seems to b a negative. When the speaker decides hes going to shut down a wing, and you know, theyre saying a war has been declared, meanwhile, i dont see what the alternative was to what boehner and rya did. And byhe way, i support fully the tea party, i think theyre one of the strongest and most vibrant expressions of this country. So, what is your view here . I support a big ten. I also understand and expect government to work. Thats what you saw in the house this time and i think youll see that in the senate. It may be a different process. But the ammrican people want us to have a budget. More deliberate, are you kidding me . You got to be kidding. Mike, i got to tell you, theres nothing dlib ra tif about it. The leadership on the Immigration Reform and the Republican Leadership in the house the senate has screwed up everything they have touched. Theyre acting, i think, bizarrely, dont you . I think well get a budget. The American People want the government to work. All right. Mike duncan, good to have you. Thank you. Win that war. Were working on that.

Unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purchase, everywhere, every single day. Now tell me, whats in your wallet . The wash tone postfact checker today released today its top ten lies of year, thats a lot of lies. We thought because its television we would bring you the five worst, lets start with number five, 5, president obamas claim that the day after benghazi he personally acknowledged that it was an act of terrorism, not so much. And number four, darrell issa, his claim that then secretary of state Hillary Clinton had signed a cable in 2012 ordering a drawdown of security for the consulate in libya, not so. Number the three, reasse reasserting himself that the claim the capitol hill january tors would be getting a pay cut when the sequester kicked in, Fox News Contributor pat cadel. And former member of brad blakeman. Would president would president bush ever three out of five . What would you sayis record would have been . Well, i dont think he would have a record anywhere close . Because president bush didnt lie in order to use it to get anything done. This president s inducement on obamacare was said on several lies, you can keep your doctor in Affordable Health care. The youth see the value in signing up, these are not merely misstatements, these are lies. When the president is not lying hes exceeding his authority. Pat, this Washington Post story i thought it was a blockbuster over the years, carrying out policies that theyve thought would be too controversial and uld not to the benefit of the president during an election year. Yes, well, the most trsparent administration is one of the most manipulative since Richard Nixon if you like your plan or doctor you can keep it probably the biggest lie of this century, and it speaks to everything they have done on health care and regulatio whicis well fool the people the main stream press for the most part, theyll let us get away with it and well lie our heads off if we want and thats what politics in government has come down. How much trouble is this president in now . Focuses on administration that is described as ethically squalid, its almost imcomprehensive of their conduct, your thoughts on where they go from here . Their idea, the bond of trust is broken and i believe the lie which could have been the lie of any last four years, because you say, hes been saying it all along, you can keep your plan, once that bond of trust is broken, it seems to me that its very hard to take the president at his word on anything, thats what we teach our children. If you lie, no one will trust you again. If you cant spell,o one wll trust your facts. When the penalty of the United States says things that are untrue, why should we believe him on iran or the next budget or anything . And well be taking that point in just a moment. The my len yals, in the two latest polls, the my len yals are abandoning thisresident at a dramatic rate. Its say sounding.

Google acquiring the company of animallike machines supplied to our military, look at this thing, its extraordinary, boston dynamics is googles latest acquisition in a string of mysterious robotic initiatives led by android chief andy rubin, nearly 23,000 robots valued 1. 5 billion sold to north American Companies last year. You thought we were talking about the future, its here. Certainly in googles future. Brad, your party taking on the te party, your establishment, paul ryan, even, being careless with his rhetoric, you know, once considered to be at the forefront of the tea party, what are you guys trying to do to yourself. We should be trying to unite. Some of us to be govern in a world that they wish it to be, but we have a divided government, we got to rule in reality, this budget deal may not be the best but its a step in the right direction, getting back to regular order. I agree with you. I agree with you. But what i dont understand is sort of the condescending and nasty attitude on the part of karl roves, the paul ryans and michigan mcconnells, theyre talking to fellow citizens, fellow republicans and i got to tell you, they look like fools when they do that. These people werent smart in 2012 and they havent learned a damn thing in 2013. Look, we cant be eating our own. We need toeuniting. In 2014, united we stand, divided we fall, makes no you have point it out, lou, it makes no sense to vilify your own, we have enough ammunition against the democrats, lets unite and be successful in 2014. What do you think, mike, any more effective than they have been . I suspect some of this lou is personal. Theres a lot of personal bad blood. Some of the groups have been criticizing him personally by going after the republican caucus, paul ryan probably feels, too. Theyre sensitive, arent they . Michael, thats too bad. But i do think we should never discount the personnels. I am not discounting it. Taking it all personally. My goodness. Our rulers and our rulers have a sensitivity problem, because after all, nothing is worse is watching the other party. For the republican or democrat . Thats right. Nothing worse than watching the political leads of both parties contend the lead. The benghazi thing the administration has lead from day one about this. John boehner who has it in his power, refuses to have select committee x, why, because god only knows why. Its this washington inside game. We have a regular order budget. We have no real deficit cuts. The tea party, for all of their problems, theyre right about one thing, American People are as mad as hell. Mad as hell, but seemingly paive as hell. I cant a time when the issues were bigger, working men and women in this country were in greater jeopardy as a result of the policies oboth parties. Im talking about the outsourcing of jobs. Absolutely. I mean, you go through the list. Its disgusting. And here we are. Well continue this. Its great to see you, pat. Thanks for being here. Brad, thank you, sir. Michael, good to have you here. The stunning reasons why our prison system so expensive and provides perks and punishing views. [ male announcer ] if we could see energy. What would we see . The billions of gallons of fuel that get us to work. Wed see all the electricity flowing through the devices that connect us and teach us. Wed see thatlmost 100 of medical plastics are made from oil and natural gas. Anan indusy that support almost 10 million americanobs. Life takes energy. And no one applies moreechnology to produce americanrgy and refine it more efficiently than exxonmobil. Because using energy responsibly has never been more important. Energy lives here. Turning now to our turning now to our failing correctional system, our next guest who was here two weeks ago, when we first started talking with him aboutis idea of punishment. Here to continue our conversation, the fundamental credo of let the punish fit the crime. Pressor of law at new York Law School and the author of the important book, the death of punishment punishment. You have spent how many days, to see some of the facilities that are available to some o our prisoners, some of the video of the places where robert has been, i mean, running shoes, prison in oklahoma that advertises Worlds Largest prison rodeo, i mean, what in the world has become of our prison system. Well, hasnt become of our prison systtm is an instrument of justice. Not so offensive to have these facilities but theyre inappropriate in any facility, i think, but the fact is, these we dont make that discrimination and that convicted murderers who are well behaved inside can get transferred to parts of the prison that you can see and mock the very idea of justice. Good time for a rapist or murderer, this is how does all of this begin . You know, sheriff joe arpa, out in arizona, had pink jump suits or has pink jump suits for prisoners, he doesnt give them any meal beyond a sandwich for lunch and hes considered to be a very harsh and hard character for so doing, how do we get to a point thats become an entertainment land for many . Well, justice stops at the prison door, thats the irony, thats where its supposed to start, but where its supposed to be stop. But the essence of punishment is the daily experience of it. And so, what we have our facilities that dont discriminate based on the nature of the crime, they only discriminate how they behave once you are there. The author of this book, as we listen to you, do you believe in Capital Punishment . I do. Based on the nuer of people, how do they kill people . Aristotle found in the extremes. The attitude in which he kills. There are the sadistic serial killers in applying pain to their victims. The callous who dont take any pleasure or dont care. I spent time with people who with shooters who mow everyone down on the street. When you shot, did you think that there was a whole group there . You would be killing people whose mothers, children, uld be grieving . And they paused. The love between us was palpable. One of them i cant repeat on the air and the other one said, shouldnt have gotten in the way of my bullet . Thats a coldness. One part of it is the measurement, the attitude and the other is, as you point out is the consequence, those who are multiple killers one killed with intent, premeditation. Capital punishment. Premeditation isnt the issue. A great thinker on this issue pointed out that, an abused wife can can mull it over, she cant escape with her kids, she kills her children. Someone sees a child fishing off the bridge, spontaneously, for sport, pushes him off to watch him struggle and drown. The premeditated kifrl, the abused spouse is les deserving of punishment. Premeditation isnt the issue. Its either sadistic satisfaction or the vulnerability of the victims. I find, first of all, your point to be eact distinction that you draw, at the same time, its not satisfying. The punishment, you know, a guy announcer scottrade knows our clients trade and invest their own way. with scottrades smart text, i ccan quicklye understand my charts, and spend more time trading.

Y next guest taking on both republicans and democrats in her brandnew show, airing at 9 00 p. M. Eastern right here on the fox business network, joining us now, host of the independent. Kennedy. You have been so sweet. Our offices are right next door to each other. Were glad to have you in the neighborhood. Thank you. Youre a delight. You got a terrific show. Sinci am a registered independent, im sort of pulling for you. Lot of people out there i think share your views. You have a lot of fans, you make sense. So many people out there going issue by issue. And we welcome them, every night, for a nice discussion. Now, your show, i mean youre talking about many of the same issues, youre talking about a president that has lied over the course of four years, youre talking about a Republican Party that cant win an election it seems, at least a president ial election, certainly hasnt for the last two and doesnt understand what a ground operation is, how do you deal with those issues . We tend not to not think about them in party terms. People have been doing for so long. Growing up what do the republicans say . Who do i agree with . One side or the other. And you know, i found living in southern california, there are so many people who go issue by issue and their views change. Whether its immigration or health care and you know, thinking about what is within the scope of government. And oftentimes as youre political mros my evolves that scope narrows. Thats fine. Southern california, an entirely reasonable place to live. In fact, it had 13 over 13 in taxes, sales taxes, income taxes. I mean, its a pretty striking place which is what makes people so independent. They see this government regulation working against them in their daily cisions. Lot of the regulation in california directly affects the poor. So if you consider yourself a robin hood populous, you shou be a libertarian. Not part of the libertarian party. But you want less government. I celebrate that. You know, celebrating it, youve got a lot of company, fewer people than ever, at least in recent history, are now selfdentifying as republicans, just a few more are selfideifying as democrats. And some selfidentifying as independents. Young people are leaving obama. Can you believe the millennials .
