many sea minicity ices can be defeated, but it may take years. john kerry saying that it may take two years or three years. and many say a top pentagon official suggested otherwise. >> this is a threat that is going to be in conmen for years and years. but it certainly one we have to worry about right now? the president said again today that he is helping to build a coalition with arab nations. but first, the commander--chief was thinking about a bucket list, making a stop at stonehenge before hustling back to washington. a u.s. official tells us there are nine other nations providing security and humanitarian support in iraq. secretary john kerry says that that support does not include any u.s. combat troops on the ground and he called that a red line. and of course, other red lines have been questionable. lou: ed henry reporting from wales. dramatic new revelations on what really happened two years ago in the september 11 attacks against the compound in benhazi. a new book charges that u.s. security team was ordered to stan down and the highest-ranking cia officer in benghazi, three of the security officers involved in the book speaking for the first time with fox news anchor bret baie, explaining how they were told not to go there in the mid-of the attack. >> we are ready to go. am so, we are ready to go. i said hey, we are ready to go. bob looks at the leader and says that you guys need to wait. lou: joining us now is anchor of fox news reporting, bret baier. thirteen hours in benghazi, the inside story, airs tonight at 10:00 p.m. eastern on the fox news channel. in order to stand down, what happened?

>> th say it s because of the teamwork regarding the guys that were there. and this is their story. and they tell it in a very compelling way. i told bill o'reilly that i have done 34 of these specials in my 18 years here. and this is by far the most intense. lou: thank you for telling us about it and we want to remind everyone to tune in to the fox news reprting, inside benghazi, the inside story hosted by bret baier on the fox news channel at 10:00 p.m. eastern. and evidence of corruption mounting at the irs. investigational situations going on right now. the commission are commissioner headed back to capit hill in two weeks. he is being brought back to explain why the agency failed to seah 760 exchanged server drives that may contain those e-mails belonging to lois lerner and we will also have more explaining from her. e-mails also had begun a secret researchproject using unlawfully obtained donor lists of conservative and tea party organizations. again, consvative targeting. that is not all, republicans are accusing the justice department of trying to hide the contact information of a former irs employee who may be critical to their investitigation. house investigators have not been able to track down that attorney. he worked under lois lerner until recently, and he also represented the irs and losses filed over the agency's targeting of conservative groups. republicans on th hill say that that is a clear conflict of interest. we are coming right back with much more. score one for the president. he checked stonehenge off his bucket list. syria, iraq, ukraine and russia, a little bit more to do. colonel ralph peters is next [ hoof beats ] i wish... please, please, please, please, please.

>> the president did get his rhetorical act together today. he spoke somewhat clearly for the first time on the isis issue. but it's reallynot a matter of what he says. and he went to the nato summit and the european trip, really hoping to get unanimity up for the forceful response and to get military participation wng tip to wing tip against the islamic state. but what he got was a nebulous with the coalition and by the way we will send some blankets. lou: taking that up, even as he's talking about this, the ukrainian medical aid and i mean, this is a strange construction, is it not? >> yes, it is. he is threatening letter hooton right and left. and whether it holds are not, but president potoshenko was concerned. working on the bare-bones equipment, they had invaded. and now as a result, on the ground, they have vladimir putin's people in control of strategic points on the ukrainian territory and they are never going toback up 1 inch. it is e same as crimea. he hason this round it yet again. lou: the president said tha nato would never recognize or accept crimea is part of the russian federation. but it seems to be hollow statement on the part of the president since there is no action contemplated and none that i can think of that would reverse the ambition of vladimir putin and his achievement short of war. >> when the schoolyard or we take your candidate anita, you're t getting it back. the old cliché is that that is nine tenths of the law. it is actually 100% until you move it militarily. that is another point. lou: what hit can he do to reverse crimea and roll this back to max. >> nothing he could do, even if he was willing. lou: why does he persist in talking about it? strachan makes him feel good. lou: it makes nato look even weake >> he's like a child. it's like somehow it's magically going to come true. he is a big favor. and also the brave baltic states and poland, they really stood beside us in raq. they wanted just a small presence. they got a promise of troop rotations in and out. lou: i'm sorry, we have limited time. and we will take uphe islamic state under next visit. we appreciate you being with us tonight. >> too much to talk about. lou: and the president blames the social media. it is time to take a look at our online poll results. we us to do believe that the approval rating of obama will rema under water for the remainder of his term. 97% said yes. tonight's poll, should a 28 nation organization be able to secure more than 10 of its members for a coalition?

he has proved himself to be estranged from the facts and the truths. how in god's name, with his policies and domestic and foreign, can his advisers allow him to say that ast week there are reasons to feel good about the direction in which we are headed. on his way home, president obama is talking again about going at it alone in taking executive action if congress doesn't let him have his way on immigration reform. and i can't think of many reasons for any of us to el good about te direction that not until he overcomes himse and his predilection for overreach and folly. now it's time for our quotation of the evening. this from winston churchill. a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity and an optimist these the opportunity in every difficulty. perhaps that is at the president was referring to when he talked about to feel good. we are coming right back. lou: hillary clinton won't take the blam for the disaster is obama foreign policy. the show takes up that issue and this is a preview of his new book about the new cold war and the crisis of leadership coming the crisis of leadership coming up when folks think about what they get from alaska, the crisis of leadership coming up they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something el as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part ofhe country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. then you'll know how uncomfortable it can be. [ crickets chirping ] but did you know that the lack of saliva can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath? [ exhales deeply ] [ male announcer ] well there is biotene. specially formulated with moisturizers and lubricants, biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy, too. [pplause ] biotene -- for people who suffer from dry mouth. >>t(jfñr >>xd congratulations.ñr most people are think it'sq --xd are shocked to thinkxdjf tt russia andé@ china in combination isq perhapsxdi] a countervailingfá superpower presence in the world?ñrq >> a little known development this week theq chinese vice premier in siberia >> ralph peters said that, he was absolutely right. we knew that they were likely to go to eastern ukraine and it's the same model that they used in georg. again, we are just now getting around to saying that we might start arming the ukrainian military. and it is sad, but we will all pay a price. lou: the president is talking about this nonlethal aid report, which is confounding. but so much of what he said the past week has been particularly confounding. do you see this administration is simply hapless? and do you see, let me just ask you this way. with a hapless president, does that mean that we are a helpless people to . >> i d't think that they american people are helpless or hapless. but if you ask me to characterize the government, it is ineffectual. and isis has a strategy and a development today, like this plane from the air force base being taken down, the iranians were supposed to be our new allies, they understand that really we are an increasingly hapless nation. lou: i keep wanting to resist that we are a nation in this. but i'm not certain that we can differentiate between her leadership in our president and this nation and the government. and if so, a very dangerous situation. >> we know that this differs with the president's strategy on iraq and also isis. and we worry exactly you do. lou: hillary clinton, who returns leadership. she has distanced herself and she is embracing this demonstration once again. >> she needs the left wing of the democratic party to get nominated. but it is increasingly clear with what real-orld events are showing. she also needs larger and broader credibility. and you have to off her leadership not as a politician but as an american. lou: the president seems to have trouble discerning as to what his true reckoning is and what are the policies that he will sustain. ignoring laws, refusing to enforce them, making broad statements that often end up being marginally true or not true at all. what are we to do? >> i wish, and i was sitting here listening, i wish that i could disagree with you. but if anything, the seattle seahawks, it's probably not a great analogy, but they are doing pretty well. and they should come and, and i apologize to them and their fans. but i would also say that on immigration, the fact that the president is talking about it is arguably unconstitutional and reckless and contrary to american interests. lou: and also further damage. the book is the russia and china axis. it's an important new book out next tuesday and you can reorder it. it comes with our highest recommendations. it is always great to have you here, doug. we will be ballyhooing the book. lou: a die. lou: a viralout a dog in and a spider costume. if you are frightened of snakes, we can accommodate you. a deadly albino cobra was on the loose for four days in southern california has now been in captivity. president action on immigration, reviewing options on his way home from wales. the manhattan institute heather macdonald on what the president just might be thinking coming up next we've never sold a house before. (agent) i'll walk you guys through every step. there are a lot of buyers for a house like yours. (husband) that's good to know. [ inhales deeply ] [ sighs ] [ inhales ] [ male announcer ] at cvs health, we took a deep breath... [ inhales, exhales ] [ male announcer ] and made the decision to quit selling cigattes in our cvs pharmacies. now we invite smokers to quit, too, with our comprehensive program. we just want to help everyone, everywhere, breathe a little easier. introducing cvs health. because health is everything. introducing cvs health. i research. i dig. and dig some (trader more. search. because, for me, the challenge of the search... is almost as exciting ashe thrill of the find. (announcer) at scottrade, we share your passion for trading. that's why we rebuilt scottrade elite from the ground up - including a proprietary momentum indicator that makes researching sectors and industries even easier. because at scottrade, our passion is to power yours. lou: the third american infected with ebola is now being treated at a hospital in omaha, nebraska. officials say that the 51-year-old doctor is in stable condition and he was able to board the aircraft the under his own power. and the president promised he will take action, as he said, very soon on immigration. but he didn't say whether it would be before the midterm elections although it is much speculated. he spoke today at the nato conference. >> dirk johnson and eric holder have provided me with some of the proposals and recommendations and i will be reviewing them and my expectation is that i will be considering what the next steps are. and we need immigration reform. lou: even top democrats are now opposed to him acting, as he put it. they don't want to see executive action on immigration. joining us is the senior fellow editor, has gone on. >> he did promise to give executive amnesty by the end of the amount. and so the politics of this has gotten much more complicated. and it is getting a yellow light from democratic senators. lou: i think that they are screaming to stop because they are watching these polls and they see what is going to be the fate of the democratic party particularly inhe senate. >> stop for now. but the bait and switch that i think is being contemplated is holding off until the elections. and then this whole issue will come up again. and speaker boehner says there's a possibility that congress could take this issue up next to her. a little bit softer, but he had to interject that nto the discussion ading into the midterms. and i think that this is one that should be a principled stands compared to one that looks at partisan politic. >> are these the same that led mitt romney to victory in 2012 to . >> well, they are determined to repeat the performance. but what is really at stake, a we can't let our eye off the ball, it is what this country and the future of it is going to be it. in one crucial aspect is the rule of law and the other is, are we going to be a skilled population that is able to compete globally. what will happen with these amnesties is increasing, and social inequality in this country by privileging the most low skilled people from central and central america and mexico. and they are just not advancing. last night in the gubernatorial bid in california, jerry brown was touting the fact that he has the most redistribution in education spending in the country because he's trying so hard to close the gap between so-called english learners in the anglo population. but it's not working. or having t it's not working. or having to spend more and more taxpayer dollars in the state trying to close up gap. lou: obama's approval rating in california is arguably the most and one of the most liberal states in the country that was plummeting and prospects obviously remain high for the democratic incumbents in that state and this is a change there. and so i guess the next question on immigration becomes, why in the world don't the republicans have the confidence of the principal to follow the lead of those of the last judiciary committee and theirncremental approach to immigration reform and tablishment of border security. why can't they grab hold on that sphere and move forward with that. >> it is such a good question and i think that they're feeling, perhaps, is that demography is destiny an with the rising hispanic population, they feel that these approaches may not work for them. and that is going to be a big mistake and i think it will turn the country into a possibly irreversible direction. >> most americans want border security come hell or high water. and certainly soon. heather macdonald, we thank you for being with us. and a programming note, please join us tonight on the o'reilly factor. 8:00 p.m. eastern to talk about the efforts of fast food wages. we talked about the economic impact and we even argue a little bit about it. tune in at the top of the hour. and coming up next, we'l women really want. exposing the concept and the projected idea of republican women and you cannot miss it. women and you cannot miss it. co-author doctor musical airs. fun, right? welllllllll, not when your travel rewards card makes it so hard to get a seat using your miles. that's their game. the flights you want are blacked out. or they ask for some ridiculous number of miles. honestly, it's time to switch to the venture card from capital one. with venture, use your miles on any airline, any flight, any time. no blackout dates. and with every purchase, you'll earn unlimited double miles. from now on, no one's taking your seat away. what's in your wallet? we're changing the way we do business, with startup ny. from now on, no one's taking your seat away. we've created tax free zones throughout the state. and startup ny companies will binvesting hundreds of millions of dollars in jobs and infrastructure. thanks to startup ny, businesses can operate tax free for 10 years. no property tax. no business tax. and no sales tax. which means more growth for your business, and more jobs. it's not just business as usual. see how new york can help your business grow, at startup.ny.gov lou: joining me now is the co-author of the new book, what women really want. about false claims of democrats d the party of women. we are joined by doctor gina loudon. congratulations on your book. >> thank you. lou: and you take on the idea that the democratic party is the party of women and women's issues. and republicans are something else. why is that? >> we have been told repeatedly that the feminist speak for women. interestingly, there are only about 20% of women consider themselves feminists. and about 90% of working women, according to forbes, they say that they would really like the option to stay home but staying home has always been a goal of theirs, being able to stay at home with their families. and so also, when is the last time that you heard 90% of women agree on anything. but 90% of them want to be home. so we have been sold a pretty big pack of lies. and they want to have that option. lou: what about reproductive rights? what about all of those issues that republics come down on the wrong side of? they want to have a choice and choice is important to women just as it is for men. how do you handle that two. >> in the book, we talk about how choice really is freedom, which is really money. if you put those things together, they are hard to distinguish. so it's a lot more important in terms of economic freedom and job security and national security. much more than free feminine hygiene products, which is what the left may think is on the most important list for women. lou: what will the gop have to do to make sense and compel women for women who effective elected barack obama esident of the united states? >> the president's going to have to come up with strong leadership. the gop will have to come up with strong leadership to restore the freedoms and ma it so that if they want to, they can survive on one income again, like we did before all of the empowerment happening. lou: the idea that the republican party can be the party of women. but what about the issues? what was it, the dnc chairwoman was talking about? she had to apologize. but the rhetoric was inflammatory. >> they backed down every time that the democrats get up in their face. but in things like job security and national security, open borders undermine both of those things and that is something that really matters for national security. just today here we are on national civil rights day and what do they decide to do? they sign signed a deal with mexico saying that we are going to protect mexican workers. and this is what is really on the minds and hearts of american women right now. lou: thank you and congratulations on the book. we recommend it highly. on sale online at bookstores everywhere and david said, i predict oba will end up with the lowest approval rating of any president since world war ii. we will take note. and dave says elitist irs revelations. they are not merely corrupt but a criminal enterprise. thank you. coming up at the top the hour, stick around for neil cavuto hosted by neil cavuto. i wonder if tt's wherehey got the name. coming up next week, doctor ben carson on his presidential if you ware a denture, take the simple test. press your tongue against it like this. it moves unlike natural teeth. do you feel it?

beuse he talks too long and he goes on and on. i don't mean to disparage him. i'm just telling you that he can solve a lot of his own problems if he just truncated it. the proof came that today at a press report out in europe, addressing the timeline of nato's reaction to isis. start your watch is right now. >> let me start with the general point. there was unanimity over the
