That coming as defense secretary ash carter is in the region in singapore at which he is expected to demand that china immediately stop those projects. Perhaps china has taken some note of how empty Obama White House threats red lines and ultimatums have been over the years. Well see. What will be the consequences of another reckless obama Foreign Policy decision . Well be asking general jack keane. And the Clinton Foundations pay to play scandal keeps growing. Worsening it seems each passing day. This time, a czech supermodel paid out half Million Dollars to get former president clinton to accept a Lifetime Achievement award. A supermodel, a half Million Dollars and bubba. The Clinton Foundation scandal gets better and better. Ed rollins among our guests tonight. After the United States will not be responsible for iraqs security the Islamic State claimed responsibility for bombings at two hotels in baghdad. And in Russia Vladimir Putin taking advantage of mr. Obamas flexibility. Conducting surprise military exercises and the sea as nato is holding its own military exercises. Joining us to discuss the consequences to the president s decisions former army advice chief of staff fox news military analyst general jack keane general good to have you here. It seems an appropriate question tonight. Has the president simply decided that every president over the last half century has been wrong on cuba wrong on europe and russia and china . Whats been unfolding is nothing short of stunning, to watch the geopolitical policy decisions that the president is making, and certainly this one with cuba is remarkably similar to what he was doing with iran. He believes that a peaceful overture in Iran Nuclear Negotiations will lead to iran joining the community of nations as a result of a decision on those negotiations. He believes that cuba by giving them diplomatic recognition and supporting their endeavors in the region will somehow get this communist totalitarian repressive regime to join the community of nations. There is nothing that supports that. All of our allies, none of our allies agree with it, and its arrogant, and its naive to watch this unfold. Lou and in the middle east the president seemingly acquiescing to iranian demands and negotiations over Nuclear Weapons limitations which will amount effectively to two to three months a breakout period, whatever the result of that discussion, if it does lead to an agreement. What are we to make of what is unfolding in iraq, the decision announced as sort of retroactively that the president had decided not to degrade, and not to destroy the Islamic State . Well, i think this week its been very revealing. Im sure as there have been numerous meetings with the National Security apparatus dealing with the aftermath of ramadi. What the administration seems to be saying to us is that theyre distancing themselves from iraq because of recent failures particularly ramadi and finding words to retool with the relationship. I find that disappointing, obviously. Whats taking place in iraq certainly has relationship to us since 2003. Our interest in iraq is not just about iraq. Its about United States interest in the region the security of the american people, and our interest for the stability of the middle east, and that is critical to us. And it appears that the president is beginning to walk away from iraq as part of what hes done in disengaging from the middle east. Lou as he walks away from iraq, the fight with the Islamic State, what are the implications here for example the ambitions and the aggression the annexation of crimea, the threat towards scandinavia, Eastern Europe by Vladimir Putin . Does this president and his passivity render nato effectively a Shell Organization now . Well, you know, most of us looking at this the policy decisions the president has made and the implications its had in the region and how our adversaries are taking advantage of it. We connect the dots and absolutely see the relationship of the adversary relationship of iran, of isis of putin, of china all taking advantage of the United States weak American Power and weak american leadership. And that is going to continue, sadly right up until the administration ends. What hes going to turn over to the next president is going to be very significant in terms of our security challenges around the world. Lou this president his administration, talked of a pivot to asia at the time trying deflect from iraq and the disastrous policies, whether they are libya whether syria that the president has been woefully inept in carrying out, particularly over the past year but this pivot to asia now. Ash carter the defense secretary is in singapore for an interNational Security conference at which the chinese will have officials, and this defense secretary is going to continue, i would assume to bluster about what will happen to the chinese if they continue to build these artificial islands, and deploy weapons to them. Its impossible to imagine the chinese would take that as even slightly credible, on the part of this administration. Yeah, absolutely right. I mean the chinese saw the rhetoric surrounding the pivot to asia which was camouflaged for disengaging from the middle east, which was the real policy decision, and the pivot to asia had no capabilities that went along with it in terms of military capabilities and diplomatic effort to change the dimension of what china was trying to achieve. You know, china now, its clear has moved from a defensive military strategy to a regional offensive strategy to seek domination of the western pacific and the south china sea, largely at the expense of the United States and our allies. I mean, they were covering that for some time as they were beginning to build a higher capacity military, but now its right out in the open. They dont hide it from anybody. And i think theyre pursuing their own National Interests regardless what the United States is doing, thats true of most nations. They are clearly taking advantage of American Power weakness, and they know that this is rhetoric because theyve seen it dealing with putin. Theyve seen it dealing with iran. Theyve seen it as you point out dealing with cuba. Seen it more so with isis. This is a huge pattern where can you connect the dots of American Power weakness. Lou general jack keane thank you, appreciate it. Good talking to you, lou. Lou here at home more bad news for the socalled obama economy. The economy contracted down 7 10 percent in the First Quarter down from initial estimates shrinking less than economists anticipated. They anticipated. 8 if you can call that good news. Winter weather and a stronger dollar blamed for the contraction since 2009. This has been an economic recovery that has been marked by at best, tepid growth. Since president obama took office, the economy has grown at an average rate of 1. 8 . 1. 8 the historical average for recoveries in excess of 3 . Were coming right back with much more here tonight. Stay with us. The clintons embroiled in yet another scandal. Oh, that bubba. This time a czech supermodel paying bill half a Million Dollars just to show up at a Charity Event. Republican strategist ed rollins on all that and much more. And amazing video of a rescue in texas. The historic flooding there so bad, even the rescuers need rescuing. I am totally blind.

Lou the latest Clinton Foundation pay for play scandal now involves a czech supermodel. Weve been waiting for, this havent we. New york times reporting former president bill clinton needed a little coaxing apparently before accepting a Lifetime Achievement award from the happy hearts fund. The former president agreed to an appearance at the event only after Charity FounderPetra Nimkova offers the president , the bill, hillary and chelsea Clinton Foundation a half Million Dollars. There was a time that wouldnt have been required, we think on the part of the former president. Hillary clinton will soon get a little competition on the campaign trail. Former Maryland GovernorMartin Omalley set to announce bid for the democratic president ial nomination that will occur tomorrow in charming city, baltimore. Omalley teased the event by posting a video of himself playing hail to the chief. Are you ready for this . Here we go . Lou seems satisfied. In addition to being governor omalley has been the longtime front man of an irish rock band. The name of which i dont know. Joining us now former Reagan White House political director republican strategist, fox news political analyst ed rollins. You must be overwhelmed by the memories of bill clinton playing saxophone as you hear Martin Omalley strum a guitar. Dont forget Mike Huckabee has a band, too. Weve got orders in this campaign. Lou this is going to be great. Lovely. Omalley . Omalley is a very legitimate governor. He had a good record for maryland, very democrat state. Normally would be in a competitive race would be a viable candidate. Obviously the democrats pretty much made up their mind that hillary is the nominee and its going to be hard for him to get traction, but dont underestimate him, hes a good candidate, an interesting story to tell and understands a lot of the problems of states and cities. Lou i will first have to estimate him before i can underestimate him, and one of the problems ive got is hes announcing in baltimore. If theres a more screwedup city with a horrible legacy of a half century of democratic rule and corruption i dont know of it in this country. Im not sure where he could go. Mayor for 8 years governor for 16 years. I think hes going to talk about urban problems and what have you. Lou hes an expert on them. I dont know if he can claim hes an expert on solving them. Theres no place else he can start. I dont think he can go another state and begin without insulting the people that are very fortunate him. Lou lets turn to bill clinton. A czech supermodel, half a Million Dollars necessary for him to show up at a Charity Event to receive an Lifetime Achievement award. Bill clinton thats a lot of incentive for the former president. First of all, you have to understand, she wasnt just a model, she became famous when she was in a tragedy and lost her boyfriend and set up the charity after thamp the Clinton Foundation could live off endowment. It does not need any additional. Thats what theyre doing. The first check they ought to write tomorrow is back to the association and ought to put a freeze on as long as shes running for president and gets elected president. Lou when a man gets a check for half a Million Dollars from a charity thats inducive. They had to go down to 42 street to ciprianis. Lou bursting affection here for the former president on your part. But i cant even begin. Listen do i like bill clinton as a human being . Yes, do i think he was a great politician . Yes. Do i think he was a great president . Absolutely not. This foundation which started out doing good things has become a total mess and i think people have a right to know what theyre doing, where the money is and how it was run. Thats going to happen in the course of this campaign. Lou latest poll, hillary v. Gop. Against clinton only marco rubio and rand paul come close if the election were held today. Yet youve got five, five of the candidates at 10 republican candidates and none of them do well against her . First all lou and i know its early. Early in the stage, and not a National Election state by state election. My sense, the more telling story is not how they do against her at this point in time how they do against each other. We have a very crowded field, and no one is moving forward. I dont know whether thats good, bad or indifferent. I think its disturbing when have you 12, 13, 14, 15 people all legitimate people in their own rights and theyre going to tear each other up but the process is long and distracting to the American Public when they should be trying to make the focus where the country should be going. Lou how about a counterview, ed. Youre the political maven here, how about a counterview that these folks getting engaged in this race for the republican nomination means that somebody is going to have to talk about issues. Theyre going to have to talk about the 1 , 99 . Theyre going to talk about income gaps. Theyre going to talk about a country right now that is shoveling jobs out faster than they can be created even as a president beats his chest about creating 16 million jobs which is utter nonsense. We have 30 Million People unemployed. A Labor Force Participation rate that is below 63 . The madness goes on i think first of all, id love to see him as moderator as one of the debates and the debates are too short and not the only part of the campaign. We have legitimate people who ran states got elected in states, people capable of talking about the issues and i hope the forum is they can do that along the course hes. We talked about a country that desperately needs answers to the serious problems. Lou ed rollins good to have you as always. Thank you. Lou be sure to vote in our poll tonight, the question is cast your vote at loudobbs. Com. Emergency officials working overtime in the state of texas rising floodwaters continue. Dozens of people are trapped tonight still. In a northeastern suburb of dallas, a Police Officer supervising traffic on a local road himself in need of rescue after those water levels suddenly rose to alarming levels. The Police Officer was trapped in his suv. A helicopter was able to airlift him out of harms way. Earlier in the day another woman on the same road trapped on the top of her car rescued by a passing hovercraft. The storms go on in texas. Up next, the lead from behind president , has he struck again . My commentary coming up. Thats one small step for m. I. T. Researchers. A big old giant leap for robot kind.

Lou a few thoughts now about the Obama Administrations pension for passivity and denial, not a criticism at all, of course, just an observation or two or three. You probably notice the white house is all but unimaginable ad mixture of incompetence high bound ideological certitude contempt for heritage and disregard and all the facts and consequences. Today mr. Obama accelerated his role back of 50 years of american Foreign Policy with hardly a single trumpet sounding. And he is leaving absolutely no corner of the world unaffected. Officially removing cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism. Only 45 days after he announced his plan to reverse a half century of Foreign Policy with cuba and without symmetrical alteration of policy. And despite three day long inclusion on that list in qatar the five former Guantanamo Bay taliban detainees traded for Bowe Bergdahl a year ago are now free or at least they will be this monday to travel, anywhere. And return to terrorism against the United States. Our allies or anyone else for that matter. In iraq, the Obama Administration backing away from months of promising to degrade an
