the obama administration has ended up being transparently lawless. madam president, today i have discussed only five examples of the administration's lawlessness in implementing obamacare. i will save for another day the significant legal concerns surrounding this administration's abuse of handling of high-risk pools, its actions involving the small business exchange, its sweetheart deals granting unauthorized exemptions for labor unions and many other similarly problematic actions, but even in the five examples i have mentioned today, the overriding point is clear. the tenure of president obama has amounted to an unmistakable pattern of executive abuse. time and again, his administration has flouted its constitutional responsibilities, exceeded its legitimate authority, ignored the act of law and sought to escape any accountability for its executive overreach. madam president, such executive branch abuse cannot stand. whether republican or democrat, each of us has a sworn obligation to defend the constitution, and each of us has the responsibility t

president obama has presided over almost two million deportations -- more than any other president in history. >> where's your family? pheonix? >> your family doesn't even know you're here? >> with reform stalled in congress, deportations have become the defining aspect of obama's immigration policy -- and a flashpoint for immigrant communities. >> fault lines traveled to new orleans to examine the impact of deportations on the city's immigrant community. obama has assured critics that immigration customs and enforcement, ice, is using discretion in its deportation efforts. >> "we're focusing our limited resources and people on violent offenders and people convicted of crimes. and as a result, we've increased the removal of criminals by 70 percent." >> we heard that ice has been operating a new program in new orleans called cari. it stands for criminal alien removal initiative. cari, ice says, is focused on immigrants who, quote, "pose a serious threat to the community." >> it's a small terrifying effect. they'll go into a grocery store and take 3 people >> jacinta gonzalez has been p

president obama said if we don't lead, nobody else will. but then much of his talk was about collective action, multilateral action. what is america's role here? >> well that's all good and as chris said, we do have a problem with the american people. i don't think it's as serious as it was when we had hundreds of thousands in iraq without a known mission. we do need to work with allies. bill clinton did that. if we are looking for amiddle ground i'd take bill clinton, not barack obama. does it against iran, coas kosovo, bosnia, they did require america moiblgzin mobilizing people in the u.n. to pass resolutions. >> well can ambassador is right about the clinton administration but the important thing to remember is that all those actions were taken by clinton before iraq and before afghanistan and before the exhaustion that people feel about these wars now. >> americans are really talking strongly about the president and how he's projecting weakness not strength. senator bob cork he, the ranking republican saying, is it because they see a p

chance chancellor angela merkel or president obama? >> president obama in this crisis in europe is pushing, but he has a powerful restraining force in angela merkel who not only speaks for germany, the fourth largest economy in the world, the dominant economy in europe. but she is a powerful restraining force, but however, germany is something of a giant switzerland. it is not a big military power. it is not interventionist. it is antisanctions. it does not want a conflict over ukraine or crimea. she has been a tremendous restraining force and the only way she is going to be brought around to support real serious sanctions on russia is if vladimir putin makes a grave mistake and sends his army across that border, in which case, barack obama will be calling the shots. >> eleanor. >> in the press conference that merkel and president obama had on friday, the president went through all the sectors of the economy where they would be calling for sanctions. he left out oil and gas. and when chancellor merkelout t of the 28 european union coun

obama. >> i think that is two reasons. people look back on a time when the area was economically stronger because coal for a variety of policy and nonpolicy reasons was a stronger industry. i think also people look at the facts, the policies that discouraged the use of coal will reduce coal employment in kentucky if it is on the deline already. it is not surprising that it is an issue where democrats are vulnerable. >> we will get a big epa ruling before election day about coal plant regulations and alison lundergan grimes will have to go out there and presumably she's going to beat up on the president on that. >> look, there's a reason why mitch mcconnell in his speech tonight tried to pretend he was running against harry reid and not alison lundergan grimes. it is hard for him to win on kentucky issues when he's debating his actual opponent. i think that's what we will see all the way through to election day. she's kentucky through and through. it's why people are so excited about her. i think we got to see a really grea

and the other thing is president obama. not only is obama care unpopular in the state of kentucky, but the president himself has a 32% approval rating. so they're going to try and tie democrats, of course -- it's going to go on around the country to the president. it's not only obama care, it's the president himself. that's what mitch mcconnell is starting to do with ads today. she's just going to have to be tough and fight back. kentucky is a republican state, but there's a changing demographic in the state that gives her a bit of a shock. as you can tell from this primary, mcconnell is tough and doesn't make a lot of political mistakes. >> she's also released ads already. they're running neck and neck. it will be fascinating. let's go back to the tea party. tea party groups are putting their spin on last night. this is a state from freedom works ceo. quote, when the establishment runs on our issues, it's clear there's a larger cultural shift happening. constitutional libertarians are setting the agenda in the republican p

and president obama didn't assure any of our allies. he said he was going to, but if you talk to diplomats to those countries and others they are not sure that we have a concrete plan. even secretary kerry has backed off of that. there is no change of u.s. policy. going back to the politics issue the american people expect the president to explain how we're going to deal with the threat, for example, from a rising russia before it turns into an european war because we have a zero percent success rate of avoiding wars in the last century and a half. >> lack of clarity, more slogan than substance? >> generally i would have to agree with that, the rebalancing to asia is still a work in progress. i think a lot more needs to be done. the administration is still committed to it, but the writ rick has outpaced the reality of it. i think we have a lot of issues have been addressed well with what's happening in russia and ukraine. first of all. it's really a regional problem. i think the president was very wise to put it in that perspective. to

i don't think president obama is shy about throwing people under the bus. in the case of eric shinseki, if you talk to the veterans, there is a large dose of regret around. nobody thinks that shinseki is a bad person who is out to hurt veterans. to the contrary, they think he's a decorated military hero, a general and someone who cared deeply about the veterans and indicated he was lied to. that's the level of accountability. i think you'll see more heads roll down the line and possibly criminal investigations about people who were lying to get bonuses from the government. >> i do agree with you, juan, that i think general shinseki was committed. i think he probably didn't want to go, he wanted to finish the mission. if anybody should have been fired, it should have been holder or sebelius. the president doesn't do so. while he's loyal to his staff, what about being loyal to the voters that selected him and veterans dying because they are getting shotty care? >> well, i think it's a very tough decision out there because a lot of it has to do with the politi

the school of less rules the obama administration. the debate in a late retrenchment period, we're getting into not late retrenchment, but into the middle phase, the middle passage of retrenchment, the debate that tends to arise is are we doing enough, can we do more, or do we need to stick with less? we're going to have that debate for years now, and it will shape the kind of role that the united states takes in the world. it will involve a lot of complexity and subtlety. but a lot of it will just be reducible to more versus less. >> actually i'm very grateful for your earlier question, because it kind of relates to what i was going to ask. >> i've got to answer it again? >> no, i will be asking a new answer to the question. your characterization of the bush sr. administration as the school of less and the late clinton administration as the school of more in broad term, that's something that's being popularly disputed with the downfall in crimea. there are all these articles apportioning the blame to the u.s. for everything that's ha

president obama wanx2:uz be a leader. i now believe president obama vastly underestimated just how difficult the job really is the blunt truth is mr. obama's leadership skills are simple prix not providing prosperity for the nation. that might be because president obama is a massive leader a man who avoids. doesn't make judgments about behavior. even when that behavior is destructive to the nation. president obama is still on the job after screwing up the obamacare rollout in a major way. she will be gone soon but she is still there. general eric shinseki. predicted when the v.a. story first broke. as of tonight, he is still there and he shouldn't be.+bo because on the general's watch, the veterans administration has been a vets who need help. the v.a. inspector general has scorched the agency saying there is chaos all over the place and vets are not receiving the medical care they need. congress, the president and shinseki him that's a failure of leadership made into a hapless ma'am, ma'am, ma'am, veterans died. get us g

and she was not involved in the botched roll out of obama care. she has a good reputation with both parties and the majority of democrats coming together with republicans to confirm her. and if she continues to oversea a program that will improve, she will have ownership of that in months to come. it is just a few days worth of the early problems she was not connected to and this is not a vote if you confirm her, it is not a vote in favor of obama care, but trusting her to improve it. >> best comment came from senator mccain. why would you want this job? you are taking over the captain of the titanic. >> the phrase is innocent until proven incompetent. she is supposed to be a impressive lady. but it is a terriible. job. i agree with a b. it is not a central war in the point on obama care or huge event. i think republicans in the senate were wise to reject calls in the house to put's hold on her nomination and a lot of the talk in washington and numbers and all that is less and less relevant of how obama care plays out in people's lives. and that i

president barack obama today. >> obama outlined his vision for u.s. foreign-policy in a sweeping speech at the u.s. military academy. speaking to both a global television audience and graduating cadets at west point, obama said the u.s. should ink beyond using the military to solve u.s. problems. he said counterterrorism measures will remain in focus and that cooperation with international partners is the way forward. >> this beach came one day after putting forward a plan to end america's longest war, the country's 12-year deployment in a canna stand. -- in afghanistan. >> this year's graduates from the elite that point military academy will be the first in over a decade not to serve in iraq or afghanistan. that was a key message in president obama's address to the class of 2014. he used the speech to lash out at critics who accuse him of weakening america's image. >> here's my bottom line -- america must always lead on the world stage. if we don't, no one else will. >> but the president also warned against the u.s. entering wars lightly. he said the

most are unhappy with obama's foreign policy. at the same time, the pew poll, they have been tracking for 50 years. more significant percentage of americans, more at any point since too much abroad. in a way the president is really, in a a situation. heave confronts a set of foreign policy challenges. define them as migraine, or root canal on igss on the other. or american fixes. we have a big speech coming up late tire day at west point. where obama will articulate the new foreign policy, where do you think it is all heading? >> he will have to find a way to articulate. not leading from behind. not advocating. smart policies. multilateral policies to protect american frz. presidential rhetoric unless rooted in reality. and in context. really becomes pretty empty. >> aaron david miller. a lot of interesting things. one thing about the speech, obama is giving at west point in a few hours. book ending foreign policy here. ,000 then president bush outlined the new american strategy for the war on terror, defined this country up unti

i fear we have at long last to understand what the obama doctrine stands for. mr. obama has established the doctrine of passivety, and lost purpose, he has become the message. time for a few of your comments. we have a book to offer those authors of those e-mails, and tweets and posts it is a great thriller, borosilicate -- border war. high first fiction. a respond to whether benghazi committee will be more economy fifteffectivewithout democrats. eric ford writes: >> chuck in el paso wrote about harry reid blaming koch brothers for global warming. they only go the 3 pinnochios for that by the way. he said lou, i believe that crime at changclimb at change -s result of all hot air comes off the senator reid's mouth, nothing more. that is it for us, here tomorrow, retired four-star general jock keen, michael -- jack keane, michael goodwin among our guests, thank you for joining us, good night from new york. i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talke

did you see when carney went to say good-bye to president obama, he went for the handshake and obama went to the hug and then he started kissing the shoulder. it was one of the most awkward thing i have ever seen two men do. okay. >> it is a little awkward. >> we did a little segment on that "the five." i think it was smart timing to do this on the same day as shinseki left. i think it sucked a little air out of there. >> i've seen you kiss bill o'reilly on a regular basis? >> you have. >> not his shoulder. >> congratulations to jay and josh and it will be fun to watch you and see what you do next. next for us, we now know what hillary clinton wrote in the benghazi chapter in her new book. i made this public plea last night. i have been wrestling with a guy who put up a youtube video about a frog on a sprinkler, if you are watching guy with a frog on a sprinkler, please respond. mr. frog sprinkler guy responded and i'm going to show >>> a lot of people have questioned hillary clinton's legacy as secretary of state, but president obama isn't one of them. >> she couldn't have been more

do you believe the obama white house revealed the name of the cia station in pakistan? cast your vote at loudobbs.com because we are coming right back. >> republicans and democrats don't agree on much. but apparently more and more they agree that eric shinseki must go. fox news military analyst joins us next. i ys say be thman with the plan but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent that can restore t vels to normal in about two weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especlly those who are or who may become pregnant, and children should avoidt where axirons applied as unexpected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or incased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctorbout all medical conditions and medications. serious side effects could include increased sk of prostate cancer, worsening prostate symptoms,

impeach obama! impeach obama! impeach obama! >> calling the president a dictator, saying he's destroying the constitution, even calling for impeachment. where have we heard this before? >> he has rewritten the constitution for himself as a part of his effort to fundamentally transform the united states of america. >> one of the most disturbing aspects of the obama presidency is the willingness of the president to disregard the law, ignore the will you. a president you should the constitutional system doesn't have the ability to pick and choose which laws to follow, and that's the same pattern you see in dictatorial society. >> if we were to impeach the president tomorrow, you could probably get the house in the house of representatives to do it. >> these are elected officials, swearing the president by accusing -- swearing and smearing him really by accusing him of being a dictator. of ignoring the constitution, and talking about impeachment. only a few hundred far right extremists showed up at that rally today, but their ugly r

so i decided to change our diet. >> in the first year of the obama presidency first lady michelle obama enlisted the help of some local elementary school students in planting an organic kitchen garden on the white house grounds, ultimately hosting a lunch for those students featuring veggies from the garden. pretty innocuous, right? wrong. less than a week after the first lady and her elementary school helpers broke ground on the garden a letter arrived to the white house addressed to mrs. obama reading in part and i quote "congratulations on recognizing the importance of agriculture in america," exclamation point. "as you go about planning and planting the white house garden we respectfully encourage to you recognize the role conventional agriculture plays in the u.s. in feeding the ever-increasing population. contributing to the u.s. economy, providing a safe and economical food supply. america's farmers understand crop protection technologies are supported by sound scientific research and innovation. signed sincerely, mid-america crop life association," a pesticide industry trade gro

i think that president obama has a flawed sense of priorities. he's taking better care of guantanamo that our own veterans. >> he should know. he visited more than 30 times and he went on. >> how would you rate the detainees? the health care they receive? >> it's an a plus. i was down there so many times in the medical facility. they don't have a waiting list. they get seen on the same day. it's a shame our veterans aren't getting that same level of care. >> enough to make your blood boil. terrorists getting better treatment than our vets. only in obama's twisted priority world would something like this happen. >> i feel almost the outrage coming out of me and filling me with sadness. it is really sad. do you know what the veterans would do to receive one tenth of the quality of medical and health care of the gitmo detainees. we're so paralyzed about offending the muslim community and terrorist that we're doing better for them than our law abiding citizens that have served and given their lives and made sacrifices to be away from their families t

they don't like obama care, and so we've had 50 votes on that. they do like to talk about benghazi, and we've had four investigations on that. i don't think it makes sense really for democrats to participate. i think it's just a tremendous red herring and a waste of taxpayer resources, so i hope the speaker will reconsider, but it looks like he has bowed again to those from the farthest right from his conference. >> when you say it doesn't make sense for democrats to participate, you should the democrats should not appoint anyone to the special committee and let it simply be republicans holding this investigation? >> that's what i recommend. i don't know what our leadership will ultimately decide, but i don't think it makes sense for us to give this select committee any more credibility than it deserves, and, frankly, i don't think it deserves very much. we've tread down this path so many times, and in terms of this rhodes memo, if you look at this four-page memo, there's only two sentences that pertain to ben ghazi, which track exactly what the

and president obama has often rebuffed them. and the entire washington beltway conventional wisdom that you should just drop toxic baggage, belter than carrying it. but this is starting to look different. the facts pile up in this story, it looks like the most important goal may be getting rid of the baggage in the leadership in the va or at least getting very serious, very quickly about reform. joining me, howard dean, former vermont governor and dnc chairman. former congressman, patrick murphy, first iraq war veteran elected to congress. governor dean, from a management perspective, having run the party in a state, what do you think is most important here? >> first, let's look at shinseki's record. only one telling the truth when secretary of defense and the vice president were lying through their teeth about the war in iraq. shinseki told congress how many troops would be needed and got fired for it. a guy with integrity. from a management perspective. they have 24 hours to fix this or he has to go. i don't think he has gun a

at this point we agree strongly with candidate obama and the first administration obama. there have been plenty of studies and g.a.o. reports dating back to 2008 alleging gaming the system as you said and there was a transition team memo from president bush to president obama allege there was gaming going on and we have to stop studying and actually take action. >> how do you explain the fact that with all the studies, and as you say, a lot of it has been described by candidate obama in the past, why the failure to act now? >> it is a washington bureaucracy and it is easier to talk than to take action. i also think that there is a little bit of cynicism hoping that the story, the public attention on this, will go away soon. >> dr. moxness you were a psychiatrist at the v.a. facility in west virginia and you say the vets would often come in, you would see them, they would have serious problems and you would say i need you back in a week to 10 days and it would take them months to get back. how dangerous is that situation? >> dangerous because they were, you start a patient

obama is approval of the key swing group is 33 or 35%. you cannot hope to win the of midterm election or hold your own as the incumbent party with one out of three independence because the turnout is low or with your base the opposition will'' in greater numbers. i see a better than 70 percent chance that the republicans win the senate. ashley: isn't theirs to lose? >> yes. but the caveat that there has been fear that the opposition would drive the base. if they make mistakes with one candidate in one state can make of headline with the war on women or blacks or hispanics failure of immigration reform, that could hurt them to the extent that the democratic base comes out more than normal. ashley: talk about the split with the tea party on the far right. will that hurt? >> i think it is exaggerated. there is no membership or signing up. i think what we see is the establishment in washington has lost the confidence of much of the grass roots and they have become more like what the tea party wanted on constitutional grounds so it may lose el

the quickest way to get is to take obama care. what do you think of obama care. but, besides that, i think she did read it and she did know what was inside it exactly to the letter. and i think all of this is coming out exactly as she expected it might. >> you give the states the power to do their own thing to push it through. if the state exchanges are underperforming the federal government can take them over and that is the direction that we're heading in with a lot of these states. by the way, the massachusetts exchange, it clap collapsed af few hours of operations. money was free flowing from health and human services. >> romney care, they are already trying to pin this on that old program, not on the new program. >> the problem appears to be the conversion to meet the standards of the affordable care act. that's when it collapses. but $180 million. >> yeah. or even a year ago. listen, i agree with ben in a sense that i think we do, every time the obama administration stumbles somehow we give them more credit that they deliberately stumble like dick vandyke i

obama. >> why are you afraid? >> he's a socialist. [ shouting ] >> a good news suggestion up here. here's what i suggest. turn the television off when he comes on. >> that was six-term republican congressman bob inglis from south carolina. for saying that, he had to go. aside from telling his constituents to turn off glenn beck, inglis was a climate change realist and often said so out loud and invited tea party ire when he voted for the t.a.r.p. wall street bailout. so for those and other crimes, he got utterly destroyed by the tea party favorite in south carolina's republican primary runoff. he lost by an almost unimaginable margin of 42 points. one of the biggest drubbings ever for any incumbent member of congress. he got blown out of the water by this guy. his name is trey goudy, now a second term congressman from south carolina. today he just became one of the most important people in the republican party because he just got handed the newly formed select committee to investigate the st

president obama promised to return to silicon valley before november. our coverage of the president's trip continues right now on twitter@abc7newsbayarea. >>> 18 people went to the hospital after a school bus hit a big jump when he tried to make a u-turn at 8:45. the bus hit a median. some students ran off the bus after the mishap. 16 of the injuries are considered minor and two are a little bit more serious. >> parents and police were at a fremont school this morning over the expected return of a teacher. one family accused of slapping their child over a math problem. there is a new twist and plans changed. nick is at patterson elementary school. >> good morning, the demonstrators were passionate but peaceful. fremont police kept a watchful eye. the teacher that the demonstrators are speaking out against was a no-show. family friends and parents of the boy swarmed the elementary school with the planned protest in response to the nine-year-old being slapped in the face bit teacher, frederick berg, who slapped him for not knowing the answer to a problem.

in the administration obama and hillary became pretty close. he actually asked her to stay on as secretary of state after her four years were over. the two families are very close politically, and in terms of looking at her issue views, this is a good thing and a bad thing for her. hillary and barack obama have very, very similar views on pretty much every issue, which is good for hillary for the democratic primary if there is one, i guess, and then bad for her in a general election. >> what does she do specifically on the economy when we've had this six-year roer going on six years now that basically everybody agrees has been too weak? how does she make a case that she's going to do something different from the president without seeming to be sort of running against the president? >> my suspicion is you'll hear a lot about the 1990s. less specifically about what she'll do because her economic plan will be similar to what we're doing now because her advisors will be similar to barack obama's. that said, she will talk a lot about in the 1990s wi
