catch us every night at 6:00, you can't see the show, dvr it. you don't want to miss a moment of "making money," you also don't want to miss a moment of lou dobbs. keep it right here on fox business. lou: good evening, everybody. it seems one of the most serviceable words to describe the obama administration these days is screw ball. the president himself is become increasingly imperrious since re-election and administration has taken a hard left turn in recent months and done so without substantial comment or analysis from the national liberal media, whose coverage of this administration requires only four words to describe, reflexive acquiescence to power. as illustration today, homeland secretary jeh johnson appearing

before the homeland security committee, listen to the justification for the president's illegal immigration amnesty executive order, a fiat that removed the possibility of deportation for about 5 million people living here unlawfully. >> the president said over 20 times he did not have the legal authority to do this, to take this executive action and this is not how a democracy works. do you agree with the prior statement? >> chairman, i know from 30 years as a lawyer that when someone paraphrases remarks from somebody, i want to see the full q&a, i want to see the full context to know exactly what the person said. i've looked at various excerpts of remarks by the president concerning his legal authority to act.

i do not believe that what we have done is inconsistent with that. the analysis was very thoughtful, very time consuming and very extensive, and i'm satisfied as a lawyer myself, and the person who has to come here and defend these actions, that what we have done is well within our existing legal authority. lou: secretary johnson explained in extraordinarily convoluted terms as you heard that he personally decide the administration was acting consistently with, as he put it, what he had heard of what the president had said about, the president's personal interpretation of the president's perceived legal authority to act as he did. not a single congressman challenged the secretary's non sequiturs and tortured schematic of presumed presidential authority. secretary johnson went onto admit the millions of illegal immigrants granted de facto

amnesty will be eligible for social security and medicare. the heritage foundation for its part measures the cost of those legalized by the president's fiat at roughly 40 billion dollars per year. house speaker john boehner today said there is essentially nothing the republican-controlled congress can do about it, nothing it can do to stop rule by fiat. consigning the house to a subordinate role that was never envisioned by the framers. >> this is a serious breach of our constitution. it's a serious threat to our system of government. and frankly, we have limbed options and limited abilities to deal with it. lou: secretary johnson also confessed he doesn't know how to tell whether our border with mexico is secure or how to measure how secure or insecure. the obama administration is now

claiming that the executive amnesty fiat will not spur another surge of illegal immigrants across our southern border, despite the hundreds of thousands who have arrived since the president's deferred action for minors program began two years ago. fox news senior white house correspondent wendell goler with our report. >> committee on homeland security will come to order. >> reporter: homeland security secretary jeh johnson faced angry members of the house oversight committee who says the house can't bypass congress to shield illegal immigrants from deportation. >> the president created that category, not congress. that is a clear violation of the constitutional principles. >> reporter: johnson said he doesn't have the resources to deport them all so it makes sense to prioritize. president reagan and the first president bush did similar moves not on the scale of president obama whose executive

action would cover 4.5 million people, and johnson rejected the idea that the action would encourage more illegal immigrants. >> the people we're talking about are already here, they've been here for years, become integrated members of society. >> reporter: in the judiciary committee republicans called witnesses to challenge the legal basis for mr. obama's actions. >> in our view president obama's actions are unconstitutional. president obama's actions are unlawful. president obama's actions violate the separation of powers. >> reporter: mr. obama said he'd change the law in response to a protester and while josh earnest suggested the president wasn't speak literally, he conceded -- >> the law has been changed in terms of the way it affects people in the country. >> reporter: some legal experts say provisions that enable the nondeported to qualify for senior citizens benefits go beyond prioritizing deporation. >> the people will now get social security cards, we don't know how social security cards have anything to do with

prosecutorial discretion. >> reporter: administration officials say the law allows anyone who pays social security taxes for ten years to draw benefits. as for the white house argument that congress can undo the immigration actions by passing immigration bill. >> i think congress can pass a bill when the american people start gaining trust in the administration to do their job and enforce the laws already on the job. >> reporter: he says the past four presidents have overstepped authority on immigration, not that he supports it, constitutional violations don't get better over time. lou? lou: wendell, thank you, wendell goler from the white house. secretary johnson on how american workers would be impacted by the president's executive amnesty, especially as a result of obamacare. >> do i keep the american worker and provide health insurance or pay a $3,000 fine or do i get rid of the american worker and hire someone i do not have to provide health insurance and i won't get find, is that a possibility?

>> i don't see it that way. >> you don't think any employers see it that way. >> i don't think i see it that way, no, sir. lou: he doesn't see it that way. and this is how the administration deals with reality. the middle class already being squeezed with spending up about 2% since 2007. incomes however have risen less than half a percent over the same period. middle class forced to cut spending on everything from clothing to eating out due to steep rise on spending on health care, rent, cell phones and the internet. the federal government however, slowing down not at all. its spending continues to run a pace, the national debt topping $18 trillion for the first time ever. an increase of more than $7 trillion since the president took office in 2009. while the current president moves sharply left after obvious midterm rebuke at the hands of voters, those looking to replace mr. obama at the

white house are sending signals about potential candidacies in 2016, with another brother of the same mother front and center. fox news chief political correspondent carl cameron with our report. >> reporter: having said for months he'd decide on a white house race by the end of the year, former florida governor jeb bush put indecision on the "wall street journal" ceo council meeting last night. >> can do i it where the sacrifice for my family is tolerable. there's a level under which i would never subject my family, because that's my organizing principle. >> reporter: odd thoughts whose brother and father were president. bush makes no secret if he runs, it will be pragmatist and not combative ideologue. >> has to be much more positive, much more uplifting, willing to be practical now washington world. >> reporter: conservatives think bush is too moderate and compare him to mitt romney and

john mccain, the last two losing republican nominees. bush wrestles with whether he can end up in the oval office if conservatives reject him in early voting stage. >> lose the primary. without violating principles, not an easy task. >> reporter: ohio senator will seek another senate term and didn't think he could be an effective senator campaign father white house. kentucky senator rand paul sees no such conflict. he'll seek senate re-election and pursue the presidency despite a state law in kentucky prohibiting a candidate from appearing more than once on the ballot. the leading senator continues to distance himself from gop security hawks insisting the u.s. must reduce role as a global police snoon i'm not talking about all or non, i believe we've done everywhere all the time, we're about to bankrupt our country and great danger what we're doing, i want less. >> reporter: hillary clinton continues to lead the polls and avoid taking positions on

controversial issues like the keystone xl pipeline. she made no mention of it last night. the same day clinton ignored keystone at a fund-raiser for mary landrieu in danger of losing her seat in saturday's runoff. she made keystone support key to her candidacy. mrs. clinton is saying it tends to make one stand out. lou? lou: carl, thank you very much. carl cameron. much more on the republican candidates for 2016 coming up here tonight. among other places in my commentary. we're coming right back. stay with us. the most political ag goes grandiose on a stage once dominated by civil rights icon dr. martin luther king. civil rights activist and niece of dr. king joins us here next.

. lou: disrupting the work and lives of millions this afternoon. a major cable failure as the utilities put, it knocked out power creating an absolute nightmare forcing all of

detroit's public schools to close early, stranding countless numbers of people on elevators and passengers on the detroit people mover. multiple government buildings and fire stations affected. local power has been restored to about a third of the customers affected. six years after he took office and weeks after announcing his resignation, attorney general eric holder now claims he has a plan to end racial profiling. >> in the coming days, i will announce updated justice department guidance regarding profiling by federal law enforcement. this will institute rigorous new standards and robust safeguards to help end racial profiling once and for all. lou: attorney general holder made it announcement at ebenezer baptist church in atlanta where martin luther

king, jr. preached and led the civil rights movement. joining us tonight, alveda king, author, civil rights activist, niece of dr. king. alveda, great to have you with us. the attorney general talking about personally ending racial profiling. grandiose beyond measure it seems to me. what are your thoughts? >> absolutely. if he has that solution, if he can do it single handedly, we're going to see a surprise that history has never seen. even my wonderful uncle, martin luther king, my dad, his brother, a.d., they did their part, but did not single handedly end anything during their lifetime. we're still dealing with the human issues today, and so i believe that the attorney general should take our invitation to sit down with others, many others of us. they were saying that this is the first kind of event of its kind at ebenezer baptist church

in atlanta. i suggest they go back and look at president kennedy and uncle m.l. and different things that occurred throughout human history. lou: that is an extraordinary stage upon which to stand and be overly full of one's self and ignore the history of the place ebenezer baptist church, you must have considerable mixed emotion. i want to turn to the congressional black caucus for just a moment, and the reaction of the head of the black caucus talking about the decision in ferguson. and on the floor of the house of representatives, your reaction as they protested a grand jury decision in which

it's unequivocally the physical evidence declares that an 18-year-old man weighing almost 300 pounds strong armed a clerk in a convenience store, robbed cigars from it, marched down the street, punched a police officer and tried to get his gun. what in the world are people thinking about? is this becoming, in your judgment, exploitive, politically in the extreme? >> i would say to the congressional black caucus, is if that is all they have to offer is emotional display, hands up, don't shoot, with no solutions, nothing to end the poverty in america. the high unemployment rates in the african-american community. the statistics of health problems throughout our community. the high rates of abortion and broken families. now they're not doing anything

to really resolve those issues and really never have, and there are many excuses they would give but to do the hands up don't shoot issue, yes, michael brown is a tragic hero, tragically flawed. you can look into what aristotle had to say about those things, me a student of the bible, former college professor, et cetera, these types of reactions without solutions are not going to help. i want to ask the congressional black caucus is that the best you have to offer? a display that will further stir up the emotions of the people without any solutions? i think that's unfortunate. lou: and the president himself. his leadership here has been strange to me, bewildering, honestly, i'm not certain who he thinks he is leading. i'm not certain the principles he is espousing.

i am just frankly absolutely baffled by his attempt at leadership. your thoughts? >> there are many leaders, lay persons, community activists, who never had an invitation or opportunity to sit down and talk to the president, not about his skin color and, of course, america has felt that that was the first. however, there is so much needed beyond the color of someone's skin, including the president, but the content of character, the ability to lead the american people, and i believe that there are still leaders who want to sit down and pray with the president. of course, i do pray the president. i love the president, the first lady. i do not agree with their policies, but there needs to be leadership, not dictatorship, not acting like a czar or that type of person, but someone who

can lead and work with the team. that has not been demonstrated yet, but, of course, i've said many times, prayer can bring about many miracles, so i do continue to pray for the president, but what is called his leadership right now is still sorely lacking. let's pray for our president. lou: alveda, good to have you with us, thank you as always. >> thank you so much. lou: alveda king, time to take a look at online poll results -- be sure to vote in our poll tonight, the question is, do you believe the president would extend his current rule by fiat to a third term? by simply ordering the

nullification of the 22nd amendment? what do you think? cast your vote at loudobbs.com. up next here, the pool of republican and democratic 2016 presidential candidates, well, starting to enlarge and take shape. >> i'm thinking about running for president, and i'll make up my mind in short order. lou: not exactly a lot of excitement there. but we're going to bring excitement to it all right here next. stay with us. here's a question for you: when electricity is generated with natural gas instead of today's most used source, how much are co2 emissions reduced? up to 30%? 45%? 60%? the answer is... up to 60% less. and that's a big reason why the u.s. is a world leader in reducing co2 emissions. take the energy quiz -- round 2. energy lives here.

. lou: a few thoughts on leadership tonight. republican style. just as house speaker john boehner found his voice and his way and as senator mitch mcconnell is about to take over as leader of the senate, the airwaves are filled with static and the noises of raw political ambition. some emanating from jeb bush who made news saying shockingly, don't you think, that he's now thinking about running for president. as if we didn't already know that. >> i don't know if i'd be a good candidate or a bad one. i kind of know how republican

can win whether it's me or somebody else. lou: i hope he shares it. it jeb bush knows how a republican win it would have been mighty big of him to give mitt romney a little boost two years ago. no doubt the republican establishment has moved to jeb and in a hurry. 73% of ceo's supporting him to be the republican nominee according to a survey of corporate leaders at the "wall street journal"'s ceo council meeting. in the major national polls mitt romney leads all potential candidates for the republican nomination. that should give everybody something to think about. while senator rand paul announced he will run for re-election in the senate, he certainly isn't willing to rule out a bid for the presidency quite yet. mike huckabee, dr. ben carson aren't ruling anything out either. both have support and admire, so we'll see, and each of them will likely be looking for their share of the national

media focus each looking to be the leader of the party. so who will be the leading voice of the republicans come january? boehner and mcconnell will be leading the republicans without doubt on capitol hill and contesting with those 2016 hopefuls for media attention, and for the first time since 2007, republicans will be in charge of both the house and the senate and who will emerge as the leader of the party? boehner and mcconnell clearly working together now, already, and serving notice on both the president and the democrats and those gop hopefuls that they're going to be full partners in public policy. >> i said before thanksgiving, the republicans would fight his unilateral actions, we're looking at a variety of options both for right now and when the republicans control both houses of the congress. >> this is a serious breach of our constitution, it's a

serious threat to our system of government. >> the president got crushed in this election, so i've been perplexed by the reaction since the election a sort of in your face dramatic move to the left, so i don't know what we can expect in terms of reaching bipartisan agreement. lou: we've got a hint, don't we? boehner and mcconnell's voices are somehow fresher than they've been and fresher than those of the gop hopefuls, at least for right, and when controlling two-thirds of the government in about a month's time, those voices will soon be even stronger. want to go to a quotation, our quotation of the evening, if i may now, this from humorous motion picture star will rogers on presidential candidates, he said --

monica crowley with us, and the co-host of outnumbered on the fox news channel, jedidiah bila, thanks for being so nice to me. >> thanks. [ laughter ] >> on the show monday. >> we try. don't make it easy, though. lou: let me start with this bizarre appearance by secretary johnson of homeland security. he made so little sense, he was so convoluted, and the committee seemed like they were just giving up on the whole idea of getting a responsive answer from him. >> they kept pressing the questions on immigration and kept giving the same routine answer, he believes that the president has a constitutional authority to do what he did last week, and it was like pulling teeth. now remember that he was as recently as yesterday in the running to be the new defense secretary. so perhaps he was a little distracted, lou, by sending off

that job that apparently nobody wants in washington either. >> are we surprised? americans never expect answers and never expect accountability out of it. it's a bunch of people asking questions and nonanswer, they never solve anything. lou: i'm not much more excited than the audience you're strike. to hear johnson go about his convoluted response which was basically, sounded like a purist acolyte of the president saying he listened to some of the expert's part, not all of what the president said about legal authority to do what most people think is very illegal and based on his listening to those excerpts he thinks that then there is a legal justification because the department is acting consistently with what he thinks the president says. i've never heard anything the likes of it. >> the politician used to the enth degree.

this is supposed to be the federal agency enforcing the border and immigration laws and he's there on capitol hill dancing around every single question, because the fact is, this white house, this administration, they don't have facts on their side. they don't have the law on their side, they don't have the constitution on their side. there's nothing else to say except the nonsense he spewed today. >> yep. lou: turning to the other side here in this, that's the republicans, boehner and mcconnell sound like they're working together, coordinating. that's not something i had anticipated. >> i think they realize they have to, the republican party needs to come together and come up with a plan here and need to be proactive and have something americans can point to and they're not just the party of know, not denying for the sake of it. they actually have a policy. >> the party of know stuff, now it's the president the no. >> that's true. democrats are good, media savvy, they can take something, the republicans are doing right

and paint it as republicans doing wrong. republicans have to be one step ahead on. immigration i think they are, i think they'll prioritize border security and i think they're going to try to do something piecemeal and at the same time break down this overreach by the president and remind people that's not how you get things done. lou: jeb bush says he knows how to win. he's pretty sure. he doesn't know if he'd be good or bad at it, he thinks he might ought to think more about being president. that was one of the most inspirational moments in political history. >> you need a rationale to run for president. hillary clinton doesn't have one. this is less inspiring coming from jeb bush, jeb bush is a nice man, i've met him, he's lovely. however in my mind the worst of all possible worlds for a republican candidate for president. he's not a conservative. number two, he is a gentleman, which when running for president, you oftentimes must

not be a gentleman. third, the bush and clinton family is close, he will not destroy her, he will not do it. lou: don't you think that's what the american people want? a rerun of a bush and clinton race? >> yeah, and another moderate like john mccain and mitt romney. they want somebody strong, they don't want somebody who's backed common core, that is highly unpopular. i've been saying this for a long time. we need fresh blood, someone who is not afraid to do combat on stage. he's the one. lou: as weeks go by, monica and jedidiah, thank you so much. >> pleasure, thanks. on wall street today, stocks moved higher, the dow up 103 points closing at a new record high. the s&p up 13, the nasdaq up 28, volume 3.6 billion shares. auto sales jumping in november.

alliance will do what american, what american military power leads them into, and right now in this country, there's no interest and frankly nato countries there's no interest, so putin generally has a run of the place in eastern europe, and so far in moldova and, of course, ukraine and the baltic states, he's already begun to infail the rate his neighbors. this is an attempt by vladimir putin to return to the wonderful days of the czarist era, and right now, there's nobody standing in his way. lou: so as we look at moldova voting to tell putin no, i love the democratic process which you tell a dictator that no is the answer. is moldova next? is it estonia? where does he go next? >> it's not next, they're already in moldova. the least clandestine operation that the russians pulled off in

the last five years is the injection of gru forces, spetznaz into moldova. the great fear particularly within nato he's going to make a run in estonia. remember, estonia is 40% russian, little country, 1.5 million people, that could be easy bite for mr. putin. problem is estonia is part of nato. if he gets his teeth into estonia, it's entirely possible the nation will collapse. lou: general, i report dickens out of you, i have to say, though, when i hear folks talk about we're going to have to do something, if he takes on a nato nation, turkey's a nato nation, so what. i was talking with general jack keane the other night. nato just is a shell, as you say, an american operation, and it's a shell of what it might have been or what it was. i don't see anything in the

world that could stop putin at all. you couldn't mobilize enough force to stop him if he acted right now. >> i agree, look, this is not a military problem, lou, this is a political problem. if you look at numbers, nato and the united states overwhelmed russia in terms of military power. air, sea, land, you name it. the russian military is just a caricature of a military. and just a little commitment by nato and the u.s., just a little strength in character, just a little devotion of military forces into these threatened states, ukraine, estonia, perhaps moldova could call putin's bluff. he's the head of a country in a recession. they can't sell oil overseas, his economy is in the toilet and military is not one fifth the combat power of nato and the u.s., and we allow him weak after weak, month after month to continue his aggression and the russian people stand in the

background and they cheer. lou: and ancillary to all of that is, of course, the fact that just bay third of the energy needs of europe are provided by russia and the fact he does have, as the president characterized, president obama characterized russia is a regional power, he just happens to have global icbn's and nuclear warheads. >> yeah, i agree with that. and one of the things mr. putin is careful to protect since he's been in power is the russian nuclear arsenal. there is no nuclear standoff today. putin is very smart. he's fighting a psychological war, fighting a political war. he's able to apply a minimum amount of force to get the maximum effect in central europe. he's not interested in the former soviet union. he's interested in the west. lou: are you saying effective that -- and we're out of time here, are you saying effective that the window of opportunity for russia and putin

corresponds precisely to the months in office remaining for president obama. >> counting the clock. he knows he's got less than two years to get everything put in place for him to regain the glory of the days of the czar and knows that this president will do little or nothing to stop him, and he's got, as i said, a two-year window to pursue aggression and nobody is going to resist him, lou. lou: general robert scales, great to have you with us. >> thank you, lou. lou: thank you. up next, a racially charged department of justice constitutionally challenged department of homeland security. the president's agenda is carrying on next. our legal minds, the brightest in the land. want to know how hard it can be... ...to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled...

there are some minor exceptions for counterterrorism, that kind of thing, where you can use race as one of the many factors. every state in the union has one of the laws. >> but to make a blanket statement like that, meaning the entire country has a racial bias is so irresponsible. you have such a responsibility to the public at large, and you make these types of comments. lou: local law enforcement, state law enforcement, county, what must these people be feeling as they listen to the president of the united states speak as if they're some sort of broadish insensitive uncaring group of -- >> if there are police officers going and putting lives in danger every day, are you, attorney general holder saying i'm a racist. lou: this is a man who began his tenure as attorney general by saying essentially we're a nation of cowards when it comes

to race. do you think anybody gives a damn what the attorney general says? let's be honest. >> to your point, what lis is saying is true, you're a cop out on the line, putting lives at risk and you are saying i have racial animus and protect the laws. how is that racist? . lou: the de facto amnesty the president is ruling by fiat. this president has moved an imperial presidency, it is now, it is now an authoritarian office he has created that is subjugating, subordinating the congress of the united states, we don't know yet. he may be indifferent to the judiciary as well. >> how many times did we hear president obama say i can't change the immigration laws, i can't change the immigration laws. lou: 20 times. >> 20 times.

now i changed immigration laws, i'm not satisfied with the laws as they are. lou: without explanation why a hard left after a midterm election that absolutely repudiation of his policies. >> because he's thinks i can. and i'm out of here in two years. lou: it is to have no regard for the traditions, the conventions they attended the framers nor the paper and the words written about it called the constitution. >> the constitution, i love the fact he relies on a memo internally from the department of justice to give executive order and prosecutorial discretion and all that. in the same memo, they say this right is not unlimited. lou: not unlimited. the justice department is saying he shouldn't, shouldn't have carried out the deferred action. i mean it's breathtaking. let's turn to, if we may, the idea that now is there is absolute rejection of the grand

jury in ferguson, missouri, this president is indifferent to what a grand jury found. >> right. >> there is no respect or regard in the national media for that matter in much of the national media for the physical evidence. >> and the witness testimony from individuals of color who supported officer wilson. lou: if we have to make a judgment based on color of skin as to whether or not someone is a -- what is the word -- >> telling the truth? >> telling the truth? lou: a probative witness, this is really moving in the wrong direction. this is the president who said let -- led us all to believe this is going to be a post-racial society. >> the eyewitnesses were all over the case. we know witness testimony is infallible. lou: nothing unusual.

>> that has nothing to do with race, may have had something to do with race here, generally does not. forensic evidence is forensic evidence. lou: physical evidence. >> exactly. autopsy report's done, one by dr. michael baden hired by the brown family. finding that it was consistent with his running towards the officer not away. self-defense. lou: and the idea too that right now, the american people are listening to a president who's going to rule by fiat. we talked about amnesty. we're talking about all that this administration is doing. there is nothing, says john boehner, that the congress can do. the congress and the senate run by republicans. when are we going to see checks and balances instituted, and if we have to say in january of 2017, we're in big trouble. >> undoubtedly. nothing we can do. we've got two years of this, the voters can't step in at this point. the dye is cast.

they can make a change in 2016. until then it's going to be problematic. >> agree. lou: unfortunately. thank you very much, lis. lis wiehl, mercedes col win. great to have you both. >> thanks, lou. lou: now the wrap-up, the obama administration put traveling political troupe on lofty stage, the attorney general going to atlanta to the ebenezer baptist church on which dr. martin luther king preached and led the civil rights movement. at ebenezer baptist the climactic wrap-up led him to declare he would end racial profiling forever.

of political theater, and that's too bad. thank you for being with us. neil: welcome, everybody. i'm neil cavuto. al sharpton is his advisor on keeping people calm. eric holder is his attorney general. and an environmentalist collective wall against building keystone. i'm telling you, with the rest of us. wake up, folks. the president is making a hard charge to the left. and my friend steve forbes knows it. this is he pretty amazing. it's doubling down on this. he's maybe showing his true colors, but so much for the
