the obama administration did not deny anything to law enforcement. they just require them to state why they needed it. much of this equipment is deadly equipment. times thesew york says that local officials have defended it saying it is a way to acquire information that is useful without stretching tight budgets. for example, a harris county received two armored vehicles under the program. one was used for high risk operations and the other for high water rescue. and the police department cites the search for terrorists like boston marathon bombing? how can they get this out of thisget this program? guest: the problem arises when law-enforcement things i need a tank because the town next door to me has a tank and no officer has training on how to use that these of equipment. first of all, you don't need a somethingnd of all, like a helicopter, something that can be used during hazardous situation, a disaster, if there is a helicopter available within the region, why does every law enforcement agency need its own helicopter? why does a law enforcement

in terms of the what has changed between the obama administration and the trump administration, one of the things we tried very hard to do in the obama administration was to use sanctions as a tool for a broader policy objective. we were very cognizant that sanctions are not a policy unto th themselves. you don't just apply sanctions and hope something good happens. you apply to try to do one of two things. either to affect behavior. to try and persuade whoever is on the receiving end ofrt sancti -- of the sanctions to change what they are doing and then the other objective is to disrupt and disable and in particular if you look at the counterterrorism financing sanctions the princip principal objective was to cut off the lines of finance. the best example in the obama administration of how we tried to do this was with iran. it was all part of the dual track strategy. on the one hand apply increase this pressure but on the other side of the track offer opportunities for engagement. we got to a point where the iranians said, okay, we're ready to talk. the sanctions were not intense enou

the obama administration took it off the table. in the jcp oa itself, the ballistic missile issue is not address. it is addressed in 20 to 31, the 2231.ents -- allowed tonot be develop long-range ballistic missiles capable of carrying a warhead. that program will produce icbms as we have seen in north korea. there is no point in controlling iranian enrichments or plutonium reprocessing if you will allow to have those restrictions lifted over time while giving it a free pathway to develop icbms. it makes no sense. as a statement of u.s. policy we should have an absolute prohibition against developments of these missiles. this whole notion of what iran has done in the past, with respect to the possible military military -- possible military mentions. the military mentions were completely swept under the carpet by the obama ministration who said, don't worry about the past. what iran has done in the past should be of no consequences. and aw there is about 11 half outstanding questions from the iaea report in 2011 about sites.an did in

different from that of the obama administration? >> well, first of all, thank you, chris, for inviting me. very excited to be here, have the opportunity to talk about what i think are some of the most fascinating issues, which is the interplay of foreign policy, national security, and the tools that we have developed over the years to try and advance u.s. interests, and it's great to be here at georgetown to do that. i don't know if bill is still here, but that was a ridiculous introduction. you must never, ever do that again. so the state of play of sanctions is that i think as we sit here on 9/11/2017, again, bill is right, it's appropriate to take a moment to reflect on what today's anniversary means. and it means something ing the sanctions world. it means much more as a country. i'm actually delighted to talk about how sanctions can be a part of our counterterrorism effort. on this anniversary. but let me, to answer your question, i think as we sit here today, finance sanctions in particular have become an accepted and embedded

if we were to keep the obama administration's executive amnesty policy, the likeliest outcome is that it would, too, be enjoined just as was dapa. the department of justice has advised the president and the department of homeland security that the department of homeland security should begin an orderly lawful wind down, including the cancellation of the memo that authorized this program. acting secretary duke has chosen appropriately to initiate a wind down process. this will enable the department of homeland security to conduct an orderly change and fulfill the desire of this administration to create a time period for congress to act should it so choose. we firmly believe this is the responsible path. simply put, if we're to further our goal of strengthening the constitutional order and the rule of law in america, the department of justice cannot defend this overreach. george washington university law professor jonathan turley in testimony before the house judiciary committee was clear about the enormous constitutional infirmities raised by this action. he said, quote, in his testimo

of programs the obama administration had gotten going. so, i guess i would like to ask you, what should our federal government be doing to try to counteract these groups that have a first-amendment right to believe what they want? they have a first-amendment right to protest, to put up websites, but they don't have a first amendment right to try to intimidate people with violence, engage in violence. what should be done about that problem? lisa: first, i think we need to recognize that the problem is not confined to the muslim communities, certainly, and i think we made real strides to try to constantly reinforced -- reinforce that point in the obama administration. a lot of ink has been spilled on nomenclature, countering violent extremism. part of that was an effort to be very clear that violence in in service of service of hate, regardless of its ideological backing, and whatever form it comes in should be unacceptable in a rule-of-law society. so, one thing is being very clear about what is part of the problem. and, look -- i think we

and why didn't the obama administration do so? or perhaps you did consider it. and if so, can you let us know that? >> i'm just going to have all three and then you can -- >> okay. >> my question deals with north korea. >> would you identify yourself? >> oh. i'm susan. i'm an alum. >> alum? >> an alum. of the law school. >> okay. >> of the law school. yeah. but my question is dealing with north korea and pressure on china. if china's interests are actually against a unified korea in the south, what do you believe that sanctions will accomplish as opposed to a carrot? and what are some carrots that might exist? because constantly pressuring china to do something they don't want to do, maybe the opposite would be more helpful. >> hi. my name is hadu kamal. i'm from saudi arabia. and i'm a 2l student. thanks for being here. i'm runniwriting a paper on sans for my national security course. and my question seems -- it seems to me that just from the data i have that sanctions on, for example, iran and north korea haven't really prevented them from getting to their goa

so with the brand-new obama administration, that one-term u.s. senator coming in to be president for the first time, of course ellen moran wasn't the only white house official who turned out to be a good fit. the following month, there was the director of the white house military office. he resigned after he approved a dumb photo-op. this was the photo. where air force one flew really too close to the statue of liberty and people got nervous in new york when they saw it. so he left a month after the white house communications director. then three months later in july, it was the top adviser on the auto bail-out, who left. and then the month after that, in august, it was the obama administration's adviser on cyber security who resigned. then in september, it was van jones. van jones is very well known now because he's a cnn guy now. but he was less well known then as an adviser to president obama on green jobs. in september he resigned too. so if you were looking for signs of a brand-new administration having trouble finding its feet, maybe even a

what did the obama administration do with title ix? how did they use that to focus on campus sexual assault? guest: they did something with it. in 2011, they issued guidance in the form of a letter but definitely viewed as guidance from the department of education office of civil rights to actually define sexual assaults and sexual harassment, to say the responsibility of the university, or the school, and to also make sure that school administrators, title ix coordinator's who were tasked with enforcing the law, are trained, that students are told of their rights and educated about them. and it is to be taken seriously because we must prevent -- actually, it was guidance of a large portion of it on prevention, not just dealing with the problem but reducing and ending the problem by steps that the schools can take to make the campus safer. and let'sy specific, face it, it was written by senator biden and the vice president -- president, both constitutional scholars, they .oth taught constitutional law they were worried about the rights

administration, but the obama administration had tight guidelines. it made things like daca available for this particular part of the unauthorized population. it also monitored closely that deportation was limited to people recently crossing the border and had a criminal background record. to focus oninuing criminals and is deporting criminals, but it is also been clear in stating that anyone who isillegally in the country subject to deportation at any time. that has created an entirely different set of deportation actions. host: raleigh, north carolina, republican. lisa, good morning. to thank you for being on this morning. i have three comments that i want you to respond to. . do agree with daca they should be allowed to come us. and be one of everybody here is immigrants. , they contribute to the economy. a lot of people don't understand that they pay into social security, but they don't get anything back. worked in the welfare system for 20 years, ok? i got disgusted because a lot of the stuff they were saying is not correct. a lot of the immigra

economic growth was also weak throughout the obama administration. during the last year of the obama administration, years, i might add, after the recession ended, economic growth was averaging a dismal 1.5%. that's barely half of the growth needed for a healthy economy. or for what we have seen historically in this country going back to the end of world war ii. and while things have been looking up a little bit lately, we still have a long ways to go to get back on the right track. things need to get better and they need to get better faster and we want things to get better for the long term. during the obama administration there were periods of economic growth but quickly followed by weak periods. that's not good enough. we need to put our economy on a strong, healthy footing for the long term. so what does the tax code have to do with all of this, mr. president? how is it discouraging wage growth, job growth and economic growth? well, mr. president, i want to talk about three big ways that it's discouraging growth. to start with, tax rates on busi

still under the obama administration. the timing is this makes it look like the obama administration was wiretapping paul manafort. that trump tower by the way. >> absolutely. first of all, none of us should have anything to talk about because these are leaks. people should not be talking about who was wiretapped in what they were looking for. as usual we have to talk about it because it's out there. it does give a lot of credibility to the president's claim that he was been wiretapped and we all know what he meant was that his campaign, his world was being looked into. it wasn't the most precise statement, but it does mean that's exactly what was happening here. first it was finished because there wasn't any evidence until they looked into it again. paul manafort involving your campaign, you might expect a given his ties to ukrainians and russians and others. cheryl: i have to say to this point, it's interesting just this summer paul manafort had to register as an agent still doing work with ukrainian. all of this lookin

i'm here to announce today the program known as daca under the obama administration is being rescinded. le daca program was implemented -- the daca program watts implemented in 2012 and essentially provided a legal status

an administration in turmoil, that's what you had in terms of major departures from the obama administration in the first 252 days. when the obama administration was as old as the trump administration is today, they really had their fair share of departures, high-profile departures from the new administration. white house military office, short-lived communications director, couple advisors out. we are now 252 days into the trump administration. let's see how they are stacking up on the same scale. ready? in the same time period when those were the major departures from the obama administration, the trump administration, we couldn't even keep them the same size. we do not mean to intently imply that any of these smaller heads are less important than the larger heads it's tough to squeeze them in. the trump administration has been here for 252 days and so far, the trump administration has lost or fired, are you ready, the acting attorney general, the national security advisor, deputy white house chief of staff security advisor, the first white house communications director mike there. chief o

but most of these came david in the final few months of the obama administration. what time was that? that was the time that the trump team was transitioning from winning the presidential campaign to becoming president of the united states and establishing a government. david: the thing about samantha power, she is a political animal. i hope you don't mind if i use that, i say that about people on the right as well, she's a very active political player but effected what is known as the deep state. people who are career intelligence people, people like jim clapper by the way, who back in march was refuting what president trump was saying about surveillance, but he had to correct that last night based on this reporting from fox news. let's play two clips, one from march, and then from last night of jim clapper, former head of national intel. >> for the part of the national security apparatus that i oversaw as dni, there was no such wiretap activity founded against the president, president-elect at time or as a candidate or against his campaign. fisas are classified.

. >> if you look at obama administration, take a look at amount of time they spent in the air, they spent a lot of time in the air but i felt very badly because secretary price is a good man, but we are looking into it and we're looking into it very strongly. reporter: on top of that saying he is looking into it, the president said he would try to have a decision on the future of secretary price by tonight. of course he will be in new jersey at his golf club for the weekend. we'll watch for any updates. to the manufacturing story and the tax reform story you're right across town i was in the room earlier when the president spoke to the manufacturing executives and his basic argument to them is lower business taxes will make tear companies more competitive. and he can give them what they need to get there. here he is is again. >> my administration is working every day to lift burdens on our companies and our workers so that you can thrive, compete and grow. and at very center of that plan is a giant, beautiful, massive, the biggest-ever in our country, tax cut. reporter: biggest ever in ou

the witchhunt that began in the obama administration's intelligence operations and continued to this day in the form of special counsel robert mueller's runaway rush appropriate today we learned russia's dragnet has extended to the man who appointed him and supposedly oversees his investigation as of special counsel. that man is deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. he was interviewed in the summer by mueller's team. rosenstein offered the memorandum justifying the firing of a and calling for that firing firing, the document that he said he stands by to this very day. we also learned mueller's assembly of what appeared to be democratic attorneys with ties to the obama and clinton regimes are going back more than a decade now, trying to find some evidence of wrongdoing on the part of former trump campaign manager paul manafort scrutinizing his business deals all the way back to 2006. this comes just two days after we learned that the fbi indeed had been wiretapping manafort before and after the election, kline first made by president trump and some republican lawmakers acclaimed it

. >>> it's been a week of jaw-dropping revelations about the obama administration and how it pursued the greatest politicization of intelligence in law enforcement agencies in american history. it began when we learned that the fbi wiretapped former trump campaign manager paul manafort. we learned that monday. an egregious act of political snooping long denied by the obama national security director, james clapper, who even in the friendly confines of a cnn interview wednesday could no longer hide the fact that he lied. and now admits it's conceivable those wiretaps did pick up president trump as well just as president trump has claimed for months. we also found out this week that president obama's former u.n. ambassador, samantha power, spent the final year of her service to the administration obsessively unmasking american citizens caught up in foreign surveillance at a rate of almost one per day. we say foreign surveillance, we assume that there was a foreign actor to in that surveillance, but we do know american citizens were surveilled, and she led the way in the unmasking. last

with the brand-new obama administration, the one-temple u.s. senator coming to be president for the first time. maron wasn't the first white house official that wasn't a good fit. the following month there was the director of the white house military office resigned after he approved a dumb photo op, this is the photo where air force one flew really too close to the statute of liberty and people got nervous when they saw it. so he left a month after the white house communications director. then three months later in july, it was the top advisor on the auto bailout that left and it was obama administration's advisor on super security who resigned. then in september, it was van jones. vans is very well-known now because he's a cnn guy now. he was less well-known then as an advisor to president obama on green jobs and september he resigned, too. so if you were looking for signs of a brand-new administration, having trouble finding its feet, maybe an administration in turmoil, that's what you had in terms of major departures from the obama administ

of programs the obama administration had gotten going. so, i guess i would like to ask you, what should our federal government be doing to try to counteract these groups that have a first-amendment right to believe what they want? they have a first-amendment right to protest, to put up websites, but they don't have a amendment right to try to first intimidate people with violence, engage in violence. what should be done about that problem? lisa: first, i think we need to recognize that the problem is not confined to the muslim communities, certainly, and i think we made real strides to try to constantly reinforced -- reinforce that point in the obama administration. a lot of ink has been spilled on nomenclature, countering violent extremism. part of that was an effort to be very clear that violence in in service of service of hate, regardless of its ideological backing, and whatever form it comes in should be unacceptable in a rule-of-law society. so, one thing is being very clear about what is part of the problem. and, look -- i think we

one of the things we are seeing right now is a permit from the obama administration and now from the trump administration away from such well recognized influenced by a lot of the tech companies like google and facebook toward a little bit more skepticism so their formal influence is definitely in a different light here. what do you think? >> yeah, i would agree that the trump administration deftly hasn't shown focus on tech groups, tech companies at the obama administration did and frankly we are seeing some conversations in congress about it, as well given this nod toward antitrust and monopoly issues from the democrats on their better deal agenda. i think we will see more of that in congress as well, not just the white house. >> john. >> they seem to be playing defense. questions about twitter and facebook in terms of the russian investigation another piece of legislation such as rob portman's stop sex traffickers act, that is something the tech industry is not happy with it all. they see a dangerous with their business and it could go after tech companies that host ads that facil

obama administration officials are at the very center of a shocking surveillance scandal that should terrify every single american who values their privacy and their freedom and constitutional rights. fox news reporting that former ambassador to the united nations samantha power made hundreds of unmasking requests in the build-up to the 2016 election. get this, averaging nearly one request per working day and what was a frantic effort to uncover the names of american citizens whose communications were literally being surveilled by our own government. this comes on the heels of another troubling discovery this week. former chum campaign chairman paul manafort was wiretapped by the federal government before and after the 2016 election. former director of national intelligence james clapper is now admitting the president trump himself may have been incidentally surveilled. here's the deal, tonight, we will break down these unbelievable new developments. of course the mainstream media refuses to cover them. and we will examine a two-tiered justice system in this country. needs to be expo

congress now has six months to legalize daca, something the obama administration was unable to do. if they can't, i will revisit this issue. >> the administration claims it's dismantling the obama era program that protects 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers because it was created by executive order and is vulnerable to legal challenges. listen to what the president had to say. >> a great love for them. and people think in terms of children, but they're really young adults. i have a love for these people and hopefully now congress will be able to help them and do it properly. >> okay. despite making that comment about his love for these people, white house talking points on tuesday urged d.r.e.a.m.ers to prepare for a quote, departure from the united states. president obama sounding off on the decision. in his first comments directly addressing a decision by his successor. he calls it wrong, cruel, and self-defeating. we haven't heard from president obama really at all since he left office. >> no, this was the remark everyone was waiting for. this is the one issue that would make him speak out.

what did the obama administration do with title ix? how do they use that on campus sexual assault. >> guest: they did something with it. they issued in 2011 guidance in the form of a letter but it was deftly viewed as guidance from the department of education on the rights to actually define sexual assault and sexual harassment, and to say the responsibility of the university or the school and to also make sure school administrators or title ix coordinators who areai tasked with enforcing the lawdes our trains and that students are told of their rights and educated about the rights and that it is to be taken seriously because we must prevent -- actually it was guidance, a large portion of it, on prevention, not just on dealing with the problem but on reducing the problem, ending the problem, by steps of the schools can take to make the campuses safer. so, it was very specific and let's face it, it was written not only by lawyers but by senator biden and the vice president or, sorry, the president. they both taught constitutional law an
