Needs a three pronged approach including nato and tougher sanctions on russian banks and gas and arms dealers. And not what they call the president s tepid response. That is, and there is one senator that said they dont want contrary to what the president alleges. This bill does not authorize military action. And the people who are here are not here to try to create a military action in ukraine. We are here to prevent that. Thats what the policy is about. We feel like the way the administration is handling this is leading us to a perilous place. Well have to wait and see if the president attacks the new approach into consideration. New questions are surfacing. Pro russian Government Forces are taking another government build nothing the east. Masked gunmen calling themselves the peoples government calling for a vote and demanding closer toys to russia or full ax necksation. And heres the latest. Leland . John. Third time this week, that those armed separatist have walked in to a number of government buildings without a fire fight and taken them over. The United States said these guys are not only funded but controlled by moscow. We headed out to the strong holds to see what we could find out on the ground. It is a cold waresque stand off. The u. S. And eu hands off from ukraine. And moscow will tell you that it is an organic revolution of insurgents fighting for their freedom. But look at the buildings that they have taken over. These dont look like citizen soldiers. Fully sand bagged front entrances here and up in the third floor firing ports for a snipers nest. They have dug in and the defenses here and the way they are taking over the buildings is nothing short than a military textbook. And so far here, there is no attempt by the ukranian military to retake the building asks no significant effort on their part. Sometimes the police are joining in the effort by the russian separatist to do this, and looking forward, may 11th is when they want a referundum. It so manies like the result may be a foregone conclusion of being a satellite state of russia. Leland viter. And well speak to a Senior National security correspondent after secretary of state kerry said they tapped the calls to the trench men in ukraine as moscow denies the role. New polling numbers on the 2016 white house race. Who is taking the lead before announcements are made . Hitting the rod for a familys vacation may not be the chaeftest way. The white house is proposing to cost you money. The new polling shoes that the president lost control of the so called millennials. Can the republicans attract them or are they lost for good. Go to fox news opinion com happening. Some new polls giving us a preview of the Political Landscape in 2016. The wall street journal nbc news poll showing that former secretary of state Hillary Clinton is viewed more possibly than front runners for republicans. Former governor jeb bush and rand paul. Clinton in a headtohead face off with jeb bush. Similar to the fox news polling that has clinton on top. 51 percent to 42 percent. Joining us is our political panel. Ed okeefe and Michael Warren staff writer for the Weekly Standard and given the fact that mrs. Clinton has been on the world state in the first term of the Obama Administration as secretary of state. Michael, do these numbers surprise you at all . They are not so surprising. What i think was interesting, we have to do the cave ats 2016 is a long way away. And it is interesting that the white house post republicans in a good position for the 2014 midterm elections and showed that obama had poll numbers on health care and republicans are favored over democrats to take over congress. And asking the same group of people, Hillary Clinton doing better than jeb bush, the presuchltive republican nominee or stand in for republicans. So it is not a done deal. Just because republicans are going to do well in 2014, Hillary Clinton wont do well in 2016. Hillary clinton is the lead horse in the race at this point. But you say there is a danger if president obamas numbers are mired where they are . Ed . Is that for me . Indeed. If his numbers remain where they are it is bad for democrats. She would be tied to his administration. And the democrats running in this tag line would be guilty by association with voters. He seems to have come up a little bit in both of these surveys but remains below 50 percent and that is a bad sign for democrats, the six year inch phenom nan is a factor and the lower his number remains, the less likely the democrats can hang on to the senate. And look at the polling and according to fox news. If the 2016 vote were held for a president today, jeb bush, and rand paul and Chris Christy coming in at fro percent versus Hillary Clinton 51, 51, and 50. I guess you could say Chris Christie does ever so slightly better than the other two candidates. Is that a look ahead at the likely line up, michael . We have an interesting set up for 2016, the republicans have a wide open field. The Washington Post shoes that republicans are polling close to each other. And reveals there is no next in line. Republicans are used to having next in line. In 2012 it was mitt romney and in 2,000 george bush. They are not used to having the open field and the democrats have a definite next in line is Hillary Clinton. It is different than what the parties have been used to in the past. I think we have the abc news poll we can put up. Hang on a second, ed. I think we have those numbers that michael just referenced. You can see which republican candidate. 14 percent for jeb bush and rand paul and 13 percent for Mike Huckabee and paul ryan at 11 percent and Chris Christie at ten percent. There will be a lot of jockeying in the months to come. The point i was going to say. Mike huckabee is a factor and in the post pole at least, among the conservative republicans he gets 21 percent and that is higher than anyone else. He is followed by ted cruz and marco rubio and rand paul. That is a factor given that the early primary states are home to conservative types. Especially the christians who would favor governor huckabee. It is by all means, the widest open republican field at least in this point in the psyche and he will very early for the 2014 cycle for that matter. And it gives you a sense that the field is scattered when it comes to republicans. Michael, what we saw last time on the republican side. Even the chairman of the Republican Committee said they had so many candidates beating up on one another, when mitt romney finally emerged as the victor, they felt he was badly damaged and had too much grouped to make up against president obama. How do they avoid that mistake this time. It is conventional wisdom. The problem for the republicans in 2012, the candidates were not that great. And in 06 and 08. They lest the federal elections and mitt romney didnt run for election in 2006. You didnt have good candidates in 2012. In 2016, republicans won big races in 2010 and it is stronger in 2016, the problem is not all of the debates anda urging there was a lot of debates and could use fewer as a political reporter, but the quality of the candidates are better for the republicans than in 2012. Michael warren and ed okeef thank you. A lot of us hitting the road for summer vacation, and just a note for all of you, drivers may have to pay tolls on the highways. The Obama Administration is trying reverse the decades long ban on the enter the tolls, why cheryl . They need money. This is the federal government and a huge bill. Four year plan for the Obama Administration. 302 billion enfrastructure bill, but they want to start levy the tollways in any state in the country to bring in revenue for the state and federal government. Two years ago, there was a discussion that missouri, North Carolina and virginia would be the states to start enact more tollways to bring in more revenue in the state and federal level. This would go nationwide. Why . There is no money. We had to transfer 50 billion in the highway trust fund. And now Congress Said that will be gone by august. Well be out of cash by the month of august. And their plan would be to add more taxes to the American People and drivers. If you look at what we are paying now. We faye a fuel tax for regular gasoline and you are paying a a diesel tax. They department account for inflation. It is a 24 percent tax. And it is not going to cover. This what is it going to do the u. S. Economy and businesses that are paying the tolls if this is approved . It could be a problem. You dont think about the taxes on top of what we are paying for gasoline. And we are driving and we hit one of these tolls, any idea what we are paying to get through . That is a Million Dollar question. Some of the tollways in the northeast, we have tolls because they are great revenue for the states and cities as well. Think of coming in and out of new york. 8 or ten. And depend on the remmion. There is it tollways in texas 250 or 3. If this plan goes through for the administration. You want to pay five bucks, it is it 47,000 miles of freeway in the nation and that could change with this. It is it a short term fix. The business groups hate this. And we had a Long Term Plan to keep our bridges and highways in good shape. You are paying a lot of tolls in the northeast. I imagine in areas where there are no tolls or fewer ones and will certainly wake the people up. Cant call them freeways anymore.

Comcast business built for business. Firefighters in china break in a apartment to save a woman from a clothes line. The bar she was sending on was pending out of shape. And it broke after a safety belt. The woman was reportedly drunk. And some conservative fundants said 2014 will favor the gops but 2016 is no sure bet. Our next guest said he has a plan to favor the gop. Follow the path of president reagan. Heres the editorial. And chairman of go pack and former assistant to Ronald Reagan and how are you, frank . I am doing great. I am great despite the rain. Lets talk politics. A path that the gop can follow; what is it, frank . Very simply two things. Known 80 and 2016 share similarities. Number one, as soon as Ronald Reagan decided to run for president in 1980, he was not content with winning just republican voters. Republicans were a Minority Party then and we are now. He knew he had to reach out beyond the Republican Base and aggressively campaign for votes in areas that had not voted republican before. That is number one. And number two, he anyhow he would have an opportunity to tell his story because the incumbent administration president carter just as the one today in mr. Obama is presiding over a bad economy. Unemployment high and deficit is high. And the country is not growing, reagan anyhow he would have an opportunity to tell his story to groups that had not voted republican in the past. I think there is an avenue for our nom no in 2016 to follow the same path. You think that the gop as a whole understands that. I do, i do. Look, when you lose as badly as we did in 2008 and 12. Especially 2012 when a year that political told you we should have won. If all we do is just get the Republican Base, we are going to lose again. So i am happy to see senators and governors already talking to College Campuses and taking the hispanic vote seriously and talking about young pe appealing to women. And i think our nominee if they are going to be successful has to campaign in such a way in the primaries that it leads to a further discussion with the groups in the general election. Snrjs politicians refer to reagan as an ideal. He is an ideal character to look fondly back on and emulate and in ways with the strategy. It is the messenger and the person who actually executes that strategy. Who do you so achieving that . Who would be the most successful on the field so far. Jenna, the messenger is important. Ronald reagan became a transformative figure. But he was not when he decided to run for president in 1979. He was thought to be too old and far to the right and surprisingly he was thought to be unsophisticated in the ways of goff everyoning. He was a great leader. We have potentially the best class of candidates in 2016 than we have had going all the way back to 1980. They are men and women of accomplishment. And many of them are governors and some senators and they are all serious. Just before we leave. Maybe you dont want to say a name. Our viewers are curious with your experience in government. Is there a name we are not even considering and you will keep an eye out. I will not mention one name. There is a good group of governors and 4 or 5 that would make good president. And senators, governor christie and former goff bush and rand paul. All of these individuals are serious men and thought seriously about the problems we face. And again, given the record of this administration, i think that the public is going to be interested in an alternative view of how we grow the economy and create economic opportunities. Well talk to a panel of young voters to see who they are thinking about and see opportunity. Frank, when you are ready to name, names well have you back. Well have you back regardless. Thank you for your expertise. Russia denies it. But the state Department Said moscow is behind the take over in ukraine. And never too late to join the discussion on happening now.
