7:01 pm
scandals is who the obama administration seeks. >> address the issues that concern most americans, there is no question that here and washington at least if not out in the country, there have been a great many distractions from the central preoccupations of the american people. lou: if this pivot sounds familiar, today's pivot back to jobs and the economy, marks the 12th such pivot by the white house, since the president took office. and mr. obama's track record of job creation with each pivot, is checkered. the unemployment rate at 7.6% a far cry from 5.6% that presidet obama product ited in 2009 if congress would only pass his stimulus bill. 23 million americans remain either unemployed, under
7:02 pm
employed or marginally attached to the workforce with labor force participation rate hovering 63.5% for more than a year. not seen since heyday of jimmy carter in 1979. there is nothing new this presidential pivot, that would suggestion it will be any more prproductive or efor effective n previous pivots, that, that has always been the soft under belly of mr. obama's previous pivots, producing little in the way of results, and white house scandal remain, irs testimony ties targets of conservatives by agency to chief councils' office, and an office headed by a political appointee of president, and former head of u.s. forces on africa general carter hammings over the --
7:03 pm
carter hamm confirming over the week he was in the room when benghazi attack ensued saying quote it became apparent to all of us quickly this was not a demonstration. this was a violent attack. and president today looks no better than 10 months ago for all of the attempted distractions and presidential pivots. the president's pivot to jobs and the economy remarkably timely given dee detroit bankruy last week. a situation that administration will be sure to exploit in coming months, fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry with our report. >> reporter: as white house aides reveal president obama's economic address on wednesday will be first of a slew of speeches that may continue for next 12 weeks they struggle to explain what will be new. >> you will hear president
7:04 pm
aconfidenceiate -- provide a vision of where we have been, where we are and where we need to go. >> reporter: such remarks have been delivered before. >> keeping the economy going, making sure jobs are available is the first thing that i think about when i wake up in the morning and the last thing i think about before i go to bed each side. >> they argue that speeches have little impact. >> president's policies are getting in the way of the economy growing whether it is obama care or the needless regulation that are coming out of the government. >> reporter: today wall street reaches new record high as 39% of the economists surveyed by national assoccation of business economic said there firms will huber more in next 6 months near a two-year high, and white house said that the speeches give the president's chance to help frame the bruising budget details.
7:05 pm
>> if they refuse to vote for any resolution with further funding we can stop it. >> reporter: across the nation there are budget crises, looming on the local level, starting with detroit, which field for bankrupty last week. >> no federal bailout? >> not yet. you know, i know that president has a lot on his place. >> reporter: others on the brink, over 100 major urban cities with big debt problems including chicago, its credit rating was down rated thanks to massive unfunded pension liabilitiy, aides to president who promised to not let detroit go bankrupt are not using the word bailout but leaves the door open to word assistance. >> we will of course, as we do with every city find ways to assist them as detroit tries to get back on its feet. the issue of insolvency is
7:06 pm
something that detroit and its creddorcreditors need to resolv. >> reporter: those details have to wait, tonight he is out campaigning, meeting on organizing for action that grassroots group that is an off chute of his presidential campaign, lou. lou: thank you ed henry, fox news chief white house correspondent. before today's latest pivot obama administration was laser focused on the results of the whgeorge zimmerman murder trial, and implications of race, and gun control, they were not alo alone. originally saying that trial cast doubt on whether the -- provides equal protection of law, asking justice department to investigate the shooting as a hate crime and prosecute, the
7:07 pm
aclu believes that double dep gee clause of the constitution protects someone from being prosecuted in another court for charges ariding from the same transaction. a jury found zimmerman not guilty that should be the end of that criminal case, end quote. i will point out that is precisely what i said, at the time. joining with us former advisor to hillary clinton, fox news correspondent or grind. and juan williams, thank you. jameu start with the aclupivot are you surprised ? >> no they went through the same situation years ago with rodney king trial, their pivot was on double jeopardy part, not on calls on federal government to look at racial and ethnic disparities in our criminal
7:08 pm
justice system, i think that is something to be committed to. lou: to be clear. i said that pivot of on issue of double jeopardy and decent to make reference to the constitution of the united states, which one would have thought they referenced in the outset. >> i think they got cut up in the path of it all. lou: they do not get bade t pait caught up the in action, i find it ex practic extra extraordinaa administration, and aclu to use this a rare, -- been aircraft implied by his attorney general would not likely be occurring either.
7:09 pm
>> i think what you get is a situation where administration wanted to focus all of the energy, all of the upset over the verdict, away from the possibility of a second prosecution, i don't think -- just talking with people who work for justice, department here in dc, they don't see that there is a strong case to be made. they have hot lines inviting anybody with any evidence of racial intent or behavior, by mr. zimmerman to tone it in, they don't have it i think you see, they are trying to move away from a possibility of a hate crime, prosecution, to a federal level. and move on something that would say the "stand your ground" law, and concealed weapon are focus of the energies and protests in the country. lou: you know, juan, asry trry y to understand what this administration, reverendal
7:10 pm
sharpston, and reverend jesse jackson were doing, i find it difficult to understand how they set out on this course, it is embarrassing for national leadership of any kind, reversal necessary because of tone they took, the passions of the moment, but, jesse jackson referring to florida as a apartheid state. what in the world could he have been thinking? what is your thin your thinking? >> there is a difference between passion we have seen from reverend jackson and sharpton, and president obama i would say i think that president obama has come late to this issue, fact he is coming to the issue when the country is so divided over a criminal case? makes it all the more controversial. and ot effective if he had -- he tried to have a national conversation about race away from the case, away from you
7:11 pm
know division that we're seeing, i think it would have been a more productive conversation, now reverend sharpton, and jackson, we know they will go to extremes when it comes to language they use around this but they are also, missing the boat when it comes to whether the biggest issues they should be focus on, you have national attention if we get everything we want in florida, if is is as he said an apartheid state which is ridiculous, there would be a plethora of issues facing the african-american community we're not seeing leadership from these two gentlemen in particular. lou: juan? >> let me say, you know amen there are so bane big issues you don't see, you know these two, but in general, civil rights leadership in my mind, standing up to. i would begin with thing like family break down, and talk about drugs, i would talk about that whole thug life, gangster
7:12 pm
that is encouraged, education, gosh, education just, you know, need for better schools, just seems is so primary, but you don't see it, i giver with jamu.k. about ther withjjamu, ae came out earl earlier and said anything it would have added to upset, after friday he found that hispanic media that he did interviews done ask him about it he spoke in a way that was wise, he acknowledged, look at young black men a higher rate of involvement with violent crime, he understands why people might be but he said we have to va soul searching. >> i thought his words were wise, i didn't want him to come out around the case, but in
7:13 pm
his first administration, when he was the first elected, the problems that is where it again. so devicive, not productive. when you look at american bar association and recommendation they made in 2004 for rare, the and ethnic disparity, this administration and states have not picked on that? >> at some point the leaders of the black community in this county have got to assume an initiative that goes beyond victimhood, beyond racial discrimination, it is -- i it is not nonexcess ti tent but it has ebbed to a point juan williams just arctic lated whether it is education, we have jesse jackson calling for a boycott of the state that is one of the most
7:14 pm
ethnically and diverse states of the country this is some of the most righteous now it is ignorance posing as righteous ness we need to change the character about conservation about race, people are getting carried away, meanwhile we have 40% unemployment and 23 million people under remembered. but the fact of matter is, we have specific issues with young blacks in this nation, that have to be addressed and understood. as you said, create an nation apnationalconversation. >> to my mind, a lot of what you see from jackson and sharpton is about two guys i think are still caught up in a mold that goes back to 50s and 60s i think
7:15 pm
they made it into their business that my uncharitable description on other side of that fence i know there are a lot of poor black people, of any color who feel they never good heard from when a sharpton or jackson shows up at least the media shows up. but it is bad leadership when you don't say to people, here is what you can do to help yourself, and here is what we can codo to help you in terms of employment to take the steps to get up that ladder, and benefit all of america. lou: talk about whether the president, i could not agree more by the way, juan. but talk about whether or not the president could have weighed in earlier or not in the trial, i believe thattit was appropriate for him to weigh in as soon as that verdict was delivered knowing that passions some same r were raging it would
7:16 pm
have been a time for him to be a president of all people, saying this is a judicial system that is the tourn doin foundation ofn of laws the jury has spoken, we accept that verdict and prove on, that is what i wanted to hear from the president, say not tell mo mer me or anyone else, . thank you very much we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> much more on president shifting messaging we take it up with the a-team. >> president obama and secretary of state kerry pushing peace process forward, fox news middle east and terrorism expertd waleed fowalidphares on whethere
