obama administration has announced plans to suspend deportation proceedings on immigrants. the department of homeland security will undergo a review of 300,000 people and will allow those deemed a low priority to apply for work permits to stay in the country temporarily. this policy chachk has two impacts, one is political. when he was sworn into office in january 2009, president obama held a 74% approval rating in the hispanic community, after he was sworn in, that went up to 85%. now this week according to the latest gallup poll it's down to 49%. protestors turned up this week across the country at democratic party offices, not to cheer president obama on, but to protest his deportation policies, so this sort of change in policy on this issue does have the potential help president obama with a community he does need help with that gives latino voters a nice, stark choice between the two parties more importantly, this policy shift has the potential to have a very large and very practical impact on tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of real people in this countr

but to what extent i mean should the obama administration get credit i mean as we know his is the first that actually appointed a person a position in the administration to focus specifically on human rights violations and it's hard to say that you know when compared to his predecessors obama is doing worse i mean shouldn't he get some credit. i'm pretty sure that we were very pleased the first thing he did was to sign that there would be no more of these kinds of organizations but he's been very through town and most still there the last nights are still there tour still being used as a as a standard operating procedure by us and intelligence forces we're still using companies like block. he has tried various. inherited possible early in the white house with the crash and cetera et cetera but he has not built. rights. and we are very disappointed with. let's look at one more of these priorities and there are several outlined but we just want to make sure that our view is kind of understand the gist of sort of what is being said and how it doesn't totally match up with action here let's

they are asking that the obama administration make this a priority. there has been little interest shown. there have been no u.n. peacekeepers to provide some semblance of protection. people are being mowed down and killed. >> we have little less than 10 minutes. >> in the case of south sudan, the khartoum government did recognize them. there was the long process of the civil war. in the end, south sudan did achieve independence. what can the u.s. and international community due to pressure cartoon -- khartoum? >> there may have to be some nuance with regards to oil. it becomes about how they do business and grow their economy to meet their incredible needs without the oil wealth that will help south sudan. the conversation must be had with khartoum about lifting sanctions. it needs to be context of ending the tax and all of the other human rights abuses being committed as we talk here. this is current day. this is not in the past. in south sudan, 2 million were killed and 4 million were displaced because the north tried to impose sharia law on the so

now does anybody else see something really really wrong with this picture the obama administration is using their muscle to pressure an attorney general to let the banks crimes be brushed under the rug and the sick thing is they're trying to make this about the people they're claiming that this settlement needs to go through to deliver much needed relief to hard pressed borrowers so that's it we should just rush it through never investigate the banks involved in the housing bubble because let's face it washington and wall street are way too close so then they're just going to try to make it about the people give me a break that's disgusting that is as eve smith of naked capitalism has been a guest on this show called it corruption plain and simple the obama administration is corrupt this president abuses his executive powers to involve us in wars to place americans on assassination lists to push courts to get rid of warrants and of course to not investigate the bush administration or wall street for all of their wrongdoing but you know that's another thing that the mainstream media wo

ok so well in this case i would say that there is a clear progression in the obama administration about democracy promotion and the discourse is not linked anymore to the war on terror of course you still have references to what is called the democracy peace theory and the fact that democracies don't go to war with each other. no would it mean that these emerging democracies in the middle east would be friendly to the united states offing he in this case history might not play in favor of the united states and what we might see is the image and self of some different more those of democracy which will not be the liberal democratic model which we know in the west with an emphasis of on elections sensually and creating procedures and structures favoring elections between competing elites favoring individual freedoms what i'm trying to say here is that democracies very contested as a concept there is more than one type of democracy and that in order to sort of guess the outcome of democracy. it is essential to look at the realities affecting them the democrat is in the nation so where demo

on the obama administration. the obama -- has tried to rally any international players, whether it's the saudis, the europeans, the canadians, the european union, the united nations, in order to make sure that they all have enough pressure, because sanctions alone aren't going to bring down assaad. >> and mike, what are the next steps? what do the next steps look like here? and he essentially said the crackdown is over, obviously the situation on the ground suggests that's not true. what do we and what does the world community to robin's point do next? >> it was a ligslightly differe view on why it took so long. you would actually just stay and so every day that he remains in power is sort of a victory for us right now because it's in defiance of the united states. because they have been burned a little bit in libya. now the next steps, are they really urgently need to get some more international sanctions in place. probably what happened yesterday was not the ideal scenario for the obama administration. not just

does some of the things you're saying that that it's doing right now i think the obama administration you know is trying it's a very tricky balance and you can find you know contradict. senate fine but they're trying you know as they have since the president came into office when he went to cairo and he gave a speech where an awful lot of stuff going on there that doesn't make the headlines but has been working with civil society groups and other groups in egypt and elsewhere to try to develop you know their ability to to be part of the political process and that's a way to get the balance right but to say that it's all you know just about you know standing with their carriers i think right now this is ministration is trying to change it and change it in a way that leads to things that are really in the interest of the people because the united states can't control everything that happens in these countries in one direction or any other entity a lot of forty's or they can influence because of their power and leaders take it you had your hand you had your head around i was wondering if

administration has taken it. ways of getting around that debt limit off of the table and these ways are you know there's been a variety of creative proposals for avoiding the debt limit we talked about the constitutional option it's important to stand that congress has given the obama administration conflicting constitutional mandates there is no provision in the constitution that allows the administration took pick and choose which appropriations they pay and which appropriations they don't pay at the same time they have a debt limit that they are not constitutionally empowered to just go over so one argument is that the administration could have simply said to the american people look congress has given me two conflicting mandates i cannot i cannot do both of these things i think that the obama administration has taken a read of the political environment and concluded that there is a large group of independents who are paying a lot of attention to these issues and you know those so-called swing voters i want to

my concern in part over what the obama administration has done over time, since he came into office, efforts to close guantanamo bay and so forth is to strip away some of that capability that we built and that would be unfortunate. because there will be more occasions when they are going to need them. >> sean: i ask vice president cheney if he thinks president obama has a pre9/11 mentality? his answer may surprise you, next. over time, my lashes thinned. after 40, i didn't have enough lashes. i'd heard of latisse® but had questions. my doctor said... latisse® is the only fda approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough lashes. now with latisse® my lashes are longer, darker, with more than double the fullness in 16 weeks. if you are using or have used, prescription products for eye pressure problems, use latisse® under close doctor care. latisse® use may cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. eyelid skin darkening may occur which may be reversible. if you experience eye problems or have eye surgery, consult you

ok so well in this case i would say that there is a clear progression in the obama administration about democracy promotion and the discourse is not linked anymore to the war on terror of course you still have references to what is called the democracy peace theory and the fact that democracies don't go to war with each other. no would it mean that these emerging democracies in the middle east would be friendly to the united states offing he in this case history might not play in favor of the united states and what we might see is the image and self of some different more dose of democracy which will not be the liberal democratic model which we know in the west with an emphasis of on elections sensually and creating procedures and structures favoring elections between competing elites favoring individual freedoms what i'm trying to say here is that democracies very contested as a concept there is more than one type of democracy and that in order to sort of guess the outcome of democracy. it is essential to look at the realities affecting . the democrat izing nation so where democracy is

speaker, the 2 dds -- $2.6 trillion in the first full 10 years of outlays of the obama administration is just -- it's a piece of this irresponsible spending that we've been involved in. and now with the administration driving that three mo maybe as much as 5ds trillion in unnecessary -- $5 trillion in unnecessary and irresponsible spending and projecting this national debt that goes from $14 trillion on up to $16.7 trillion , here's some examples of what we need to do to solve this problem. one is, as i said, repeal obamacare. rip it out by the roots, lock, stock and barrel. pull out all the vestiges of obamacare, without any particle of d.n.a. left behind, so that it can't reproduce and grow back on us. we cannot let that happen. it's an unconstitutional takings of american liberty, it's got to go. it diminishes our vitality, it diminishes our future and american potential. pulling obamacare out by the roots is one big piece of the solution. another big piece of the solution, mr. speaker, is to pass the sales tax, the national sales tax. to end the i.r.s. as we know it, stop the puni

a trial court judge had found that months ago, then the obama administration appealed the case. well, the 11th circuit, the court of appeals, has upheld that ruling saying it is unconstitutional, it goes way beyond congress' powers under the commerce clause, under the tax and spend clause, under any clause. however, that court of appeals, i should say, has also said that the law can stand notwithstanding the fact that the individual mandate must fall. now, we hope to talk to one of the attorneys general involved in this lawsuit just ahead. stay tuned, we're getting our -- like i said, it's 300 pages. we want to make sure we get it right. >>> and any chance a supersonic aircraft buzzed your house? the $350 million jet that vanished from the pentagon's radar. >>> blue first, what happened to rob -- but first, what happened to robin gardner? there is quite a new twist in this case, and that's next. >> she's beautiful, and she's very concerned about her hair and her makeup. and i don't buy that she was snorkeling or even in the ocean at 6 p.m. at night. yeah. 24 bucks later. that hu

official and whistleblower about his case and the obama administration's war on leakers and we'll look at the pentagon spin machine regarding the delhi helicopter crash in afghanistan the last thirty u.s. service members that yesterday the military told us that they got a good guy that shot the helicopter down but don't really believe them and then let's talk about polygamy why do so many americans disapprove of it does it affect their view of mormon's people like presidential candidates mitt romney and jon huntsman and can polygamy and democracy go hand in hand or in a look at all that and more tonight including of those of happy hour but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has decided to make. all the riots in london and other english ladies haven't quite stopped but they are quieting down could be because british prime minister david cameron is not the author already start cracking down. british prime minister david cameron says his government is acting aggressively to restore order following some deadly riots it was much more action in the courts as judges stayed o

is learning from its mistakes whereas the other agencies are not and the obama administration is criticizing guess it for learning from its mistakes that's interesting i'm looking today and the the unintended consequences i guess you could call it because now fannie mae and freddie macas being downgraded some of the institutions like the office cleaning corp and other part of the infrastructure and the architecture of the markets are being downgraded and this woman markets are being downgraded because the player of the u.s. government is a reference rate can you talk about how this is going to trickle through to these other pieces of the infrastructure and what consequences certainly because if the u.s. is not aaa if the u.s. is double a plus then if you used to be a double a plus when you've got to go down to double a because you're not on par with the treasury if you are somewhat rich let more risky than the treasury you're still more risky because the treasury can tax everybody to pay its bills and the treasury doesn't tax it prints at a basis that dollar bet affects all bonds not just it

one of the bigger players in there ok now the obama administration says the s. and p. decision is based on a miscalculation of two trillion dollars does this mean that the downgrade shouldn't happen in the first place i think it should have happened first of all the crazy agencies are trying to retain credibility and because many investors criticize them over the fact that they haven't recognized the risks with the world economy with the current crisis and. i mean the downgrade reflects the fundamental problem with the american economy that they're living beyond their means increasing the debt running huge budget deficits and their political problems which don't make it better indeed many say that the political process the political situation in washington is very very unstable in fact it was political squabbling and bickering led to the eleventh hour i must ask you the american economy apparently is going down the drain here with debt piling higher and higher and higher china getting frustrated that it's having to hold more america's debt here's a country that spends

let's start with the obama administration's surge it basically didn't work so we have a search that is going to last roughly a year and a half just like this surge in iraq it was sold to obama basically by pentagon generals and general david petraeus. as a as the star general in selling. even work just like it didn't work in iraq because in iraq the conditions are completely different in iraq the surge was not the only reason death of violence decrease there were a can can be nation of reasons including the mahdi army deciding not to stock the effect that the shiites had already merril s. conquered by and of course the said cases full of money that was transferred from the americans to sunni leaders tribal leaders plus the fact that al qaeda in iraq they revealed themselves and it had a little bit of power politically crazy in afghanistan is different because in afghanistan it's a nationalist resistance movement it's not only the taliban in afghanistan it's warlords it's a loosely natwar it's it's triable the warlords as well there are more or less united to expel the foreign invader w

get ready to get ready obama administration will force companies to pay for breast feeding babies and birth control for women. "special report" on that. attorney general going after the state of alabama for new law to constrain illegal immigration. weep -- we hope you stay tuned to those reports. >> bill: unresolved problem segment tonight. many like this one were angry passed without many politicians reading it. one of the provisions of the new law mandates that on january 1st, 2013. private insurance companies will have to pay for things like breast feeding support. birth control for women and, quote, well woman doctor visits. whatever that may be. with us now doctor marc siegel unlocking the secret code of sickness and health. kathleen london family practice physician here in new york city. we invited both of these doctors on because they are in preventative medicine. that is the wave of the future keeping people from deteriorating quickly as they get older. dr. london, i was trying to get across to dennis kucinich that she's huge government programs are harming the economy because

now does anybody else see something really really wrong with this picture the obama administration is using their muscle to pressure an attorney general to let the banks crimes be brushed under the rug and the sick thing is they're trying to make this about the people they're claiming abyss settlement needs to go through to deliver much needed relief to hard pressed borrowers so that's it we should just rush it through never investigate the banks involved in the housing bubble because let's face it washington to wall street are way too close so then they're just going to try to make it about the people give me a break after discussing that is as the smith of naked capitalism is going to guest on this show called it corruption plain and simple the obama administration is corrupt this president of uses his executive powers to involve us in war so place americans on assassination list to push courts to get rid of lawrence and of course to not investigate the bush administration or wall street for all of their wrongdoing but you know that's another thing that the mainstream media would ra

now does anybody else see something really really wrong with this picture the obama administration is using their muscles of pressure and attorney general to let the banks crimes be brushed under the rug and the sick thing is that they're trying to make this about the people they're claiming of this sort of that needs to go through to deliver much needed relief to hard pressed borrowers so that's it we should just rush it through never investigate the banks involved in the housing bubble because let's face it washington and wall street are way too close so then they're just going to try to make it about the people give me a break that's disgusting that is as eve smith of naked capitalism was going to guest on this show called it corruption plain and simple the obama administration is corrupt this president abuses his executive powers to involve us in wars to place americans on assassination lists to push courts to get rid of warrants and of course to not investigate the bush administration or wall street for all of their wrongdoing but you know that's another thing that the mainstream

is learning from its mistakes whereas the other agencies are not and the obama administration is criticizing guess and for learning from its mistakes that's interesting i'm looking today and the the unintended consequences i guess you could call it because now fannie mae and freddie mac. are being downgraded some of the institutions like the office clearing corp and other part of the infrastructure in the architecture of the markets are being downgraded and it is about bond markets being downgraded because the aaa rating of the u.s. government is a reference range and you talk about how this is going to trickle through to these other pieces of the infrastructure and what consequences certainly because if the u.s. is not aaa if the u.s. is double a plus and if you used to be a double a plus when you got to go down to double a because you're not on par with the treasury if you are somewhat rich let your risk get into treasury you're still more risky because the treasury can tax everybody to pay its bills and the treasury doesn't tax in france and it debases the dollar that affects all bonds no

is -- the obama administration has made it a priority that, in fact, they are on top of this. what makes you feel that they aren't? >> just look at the mcafee report. i still maintain clearances. i became concerned about this issue when i served as the director of the national security agency in the early '90s in the clinton administration. i felt then i had a responsibility to continue to remind senior officials just how severe this is. i had the opportunity serving as the dni to have a discussion with president bush and later president elect, now president obama. each of them realized the severity of this issue. this administration has done many good things. they have an international policy, they've sent legislation to the congress for consideration. but it's not nearly enough. it has to be significantly more enhanced than it is because as a nation, we are vulnerable. let me give you two examples. a terrorist group that had cyber skills could attack the critical infrastructure of this country, particularly in the heat of summer or the cold of winter and cause chaos. it coul

the obama administration seems to have abandoned any pretense of enforcing u.s. immigration law in the interior and any dry-eyed look at the analysis will tell you congress and the american people have been shoved out of the way and the administration has gone rolling. >> suarez: dan stein, angela kelly, thank you both. >> brown: college students around the nation are preparing to go back to school soon, facing rising tuitions, and a particular hit on public universities from budget cuts and a weak economy. newshour correspondent spencer michels reports on the fallout in california. >> reporter: the signs are everywhere-- california's vaunted higher education system is broken. recently regarded as one of the top systems in the nation, california's public colleges offered places for all kinds of students, at affordable rates. but today, at san francisco state university, with nearly 30,000 students-- and at all 23 of the california state university campuses-- the squeeze is on. >> it's really hard to get into the classes you need. >> i took a math class last semes

. >> bill: obama administration telling the states they have to cooperate in deporting criminal illegal aliens or else. but what if the states defy the feds? megyn kelly on that. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. captions by closed captioning services >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. predicting the presidential election. that is the suck of this evening's talking points memo. always dicey to prognosticate about an election that is 15 months away. but some trends are solid and tea points wants you to know about them. three republicans have a realistic chance of getting the nomination. romney, perry and bachmann and the congressman is a long shot. we received some angry mail about that analysis and i will read some of it a bit later on. as far as president obama is concerned, he is working hard for underdog status. recent economic chaos and the debt debate debacle has hurt his leadership profile now showing you up in the polls. 43% approving of the president's job performance. 56% disapproving. gallup daily poll 4

well the obama administration has taken a number of ways of getting around the debt limit off of the table and these ways are you know there's been a variety of creative proposals for avoiding the debt limit we talked about a constitutional option it's important to stand that congress has given the obama administration conflicting constitutional mandates there is no provision in the constitution that allows the administration to pick and choose which appropriations they pay and which appropriations they don't pay at the same time they have a debt limit that they are not constitutionally empowered to just go over so that argument is that the administration it could have simply said to the american people look congress has given me two conflicting mandates i cannot i cannot do both of these things i cannot hope will my duty to execute the laws passed by congress by by going both of these directions right up to choose from among these two options and then he could have said that he is instructing the treasury to continue to issue checks and you know because that is the least damaging wa

i think what you also have to do with the bush administration as well as the obama administration have not done is look at true regulatory reform. the bush administration raised the standards with a democratic congress, and i oppose this because it would make it harder to manufacture. you then saw, unfortunately, the obama administration coming to pass cap and trade that are now being tested to be implemented through the epa. you cannot have the government coming down trying to impose these regulations on people and expect the economy to grow. those are things right off the back that you have to have fundamentally. you also have to get beyond what we're seeing now and allow for an all the above energy strategy in the united states. we are watching core inflation rise at a time that real wages are declining. energy is something that goes into the cost of every product you have. we talked about growth going of 5%, despite they have not seen before that high. energy goes into every single thing you purchase. every single thing you produce. especially with manufacturers and farmers, those

yes, the obama administration expanded the afghanistan war. we are still in iraq. i'm still predicting they are going to ask us and we are going to agree to stay on. we wanted those bases all along. >> on and on and on. it's not only washington inc, it's war inc. it will say it again, pat, you know, our problems economically are not disconnected from the fact we are conducting more wars than ever before. secret wars, dropping bombs on countries we don't have war declared against. it's going to go on and on. i don't think anybody in washington has the courage to stop it and say our real challenge is keeping up with the chinese economically, not bombing african countries. >> the regret is the republican candidates out in the field are not calling for a new direction of father help me, but i agree with dr. jeffrey sachs. united states -- the united states is seeing a headlong retreat from the world. we are coming out of all these places. we are bankrupt as a nation. we cannot balance our budget. the blunder was made by george w. bush with the country and the world beh
