So far weve heard nothing more from president obama. In iraq the terror group isis continues butchering the troops we trained. And it emerged at a congressional hearing yesterday that the Obama Administration refused repeated requests by the iraqis that we target this group with drone strikes. Despite the iraqis warnings about isis, the white house later claimed it was caught by surprise when that group took over onethird of iraq. And tonight we have this, what we are told is video of that very terror group, isis, using explosives using it to destroy the tomb of jonah. Part of a campaign of terror against more than a million christians in iraq who have now been told to leave, convert to islam or be killed. So far nothing from president obama on this either. Elsewhere in the middle east new concerns tonight about hamas using civilians as shields in its war with israel. And launching attacks on israel from civilian neighborhoods in gaza. When israel went after what it believed were hamas

They earn their ability to stay in this country. Toupt deport me . Good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thank you for watching. There are times in peoples career where you are presented with the opportunity to move forward and you take advantage of it or blow it. This was not a good weekend for this man, paul ryon, who is on a book tour. In the midst of a conversation he says reads my book. Thats how desperate he is. When you look, august has been an extremely busy month in the news business. We have seen the Ongoing Campaign of u. S. Air strikes against targets in iraq against isis. Ferguson, missouri, one for the archiv archives. Intense protests after 18yearold Michael Brown was shot and killed by police. Congress has been on vacation. There hasnt been a lot of town hall meetings. Why is that . When your Approval Rating is in the toilet, why would you want to go see the public . Lawmakers went home before addressing the immigration crisis. That is not good for republicans. Tonig
Going to be good. Im joined by the chairman for senator ted cruz. Democratic strategist Maria Cardona and ron hill. You should be happy, ted cruz 4. 2 points behind donald trump in a new poll out today and at 8 point jump since november 2nd. Youre a cruz guy. Tell me how happy you are about this.

Do you think that gives hope to the other candidates who are not doing well in the polls to stick it out a little bit longer

Earlier today, Kellyanne Conway said has the full confidence of President Trump. White house second sean spicer had told reporters that the president was monitoring the situation and it was speaking to the Vice President and others on his team about flynns future. We now know that flynn has made a future for himself by resigning. Lets turn now to john roberts with more details about this. John. Kelly, good evening. We saw this developing throughout the day. At the white house. The president according to sources close to him was willing to hang in there with flynn, willing to try and make it work, patch over the damage, but it was flynn himself, according to one of the source of self that cratered on this and decided to take himself out apparently. Again, according to the source, everyone feels badly about the fact that flynn is now gone from the wh
