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

during eisenhower's days and obama's days, with drones as a new weapon that came in obama's times versus you twos in eisenhower's time a crisis in crimea and one presidency and won in budapest and another, a lot of points of comparison. so we have evan thomas whose book "ike's bluff," president eisenhower's secret battle to save the world, begins with the premise that eisenhower showed a lot of style and character in the way he played poker which was superbly well. end that he used some of those capacities in trying to manage nuclear issues, the soviet union. we also have daniel klaidman to talk about "kill or capture," the war on terror and the soul of the obama presidency, because he finds in the counter terrorist reggie lot of revelations about obama's nature and style. >> would you like to say a few things? >> as steve has said these men seem diametrically opposed at least in style and looks. they both confronted a great humbler for presidents and that is reality. what you can do and what you can't do. although it is still the most powerful job in the world there are enormous limits

. >> president obama's returning home to the u.s. to find the lowest approval ratings of his years at the white house. in foreign affairs the president has defended his approach as one that protects american interests and american friends in a multi polar world. is there an obama doctrine? it's the inside story. >> hello, i'm ray suarez. president obama is coming back to a divided washington from a trip to asia. he paid his respects to the south korea still reeling from the death of hundreds in a ferry accident, tended to one of the country's oldest and closest relationships in asia with talks with the philippines. russia continued to muscle ukraine, syria is set to turn over the last of its chemical weapons but continues to kill civilians with hayes, and he returns to washington empty hasn'ted with thhanded with tale and israel. >>> in crisis around the world in the past five years did the u.s. get the approach that the president wanted? that's the "inside story." let's recap by looking at the u.s. in the world during the obama year

talked about in the other day, evan, that obama does, obama has a different kind of personality in that sense in some ways. he's not, he doesn't always come across as humble. [laughter] he's, you know, he can be a little bit strutting, a little peevish, a little -- he's the trash talker on the basketball court. and i think that's all true, and that is an important contrast. i do think he's also very confident, and i think in a kind of more important way in terms of his leadership and how he does his job, he actually is much more humble and restrained. he gets criticism for that because when putin seizes, you know, crimea, you know, people say he's not, he's not tough enough because there aren't, he doesn't do the sort of blustery threats. you know, someone i was reading somewhere we give credit often to the people who sound tougher. so when reagan says, mr. gorbachev, tear down that wall, everybody remembers that and and he gets credit for it. george h.w. bush gets less credit for carefully and deftly managing the end of the cold war. and i think that's a kind of important distinction f

support the obama presidency. i mean, the deficit has plummeted under president obama, but if you listen to the republicans, they either say, that didn't really happen, or if it did, that president obama shouldn't get any credit for it. president obama led the country out of the worst recession since the great depression, but most people just remember how scary and terrible that recession was and they don't give him credit for us surviving it as a nation and getting out of it. big picture, it has been a frustration for people who support president obama and i imagine for the white house, itself, that president obama doesn't get credit for the successes that he has had in washington. and whether it is a symptom of that problem or a cause of that problem, president obama also doesn't seem personally inclined to like to take public credit for his successes when he has them. not most of the time, at least. but today, today was different. today was victory lap day for president obama and the white house. and we knew th

president barack obama has just arrived in japan. the visit is part of a four-nation tour that will also take him to south korea. and it comes at a time of heightened regional tensions. now air force one just touched down at tokyo's haneda airport. you're looking at live footage from the airport here in tokyo, where president obama has just landed. here you can see air force one at haneda airport. now japanese leaders haven't hosted a u.s. president as a state guest since bill clinton in 1996. obama will dine this evening with prime minister shinzo abe. on thursday, he'll attend a welcome ceremony at the imperial palace, where he'll meet with the emperor and empress. after that, obama and abe will hold their summit. they'll talk about a range of issues from trade to security to regional relations. now abe and obama are expected to issue a joint statement. a draft says the decades old u.s./japan security alliance will play an important role in maintaining regional peace and prosperity. their discussions will also touch on north korea'

it is really about disliking obama or in some cases hating obama more than obamacare so if it weren't obamacare it would be something else, if obamacare were repealed tomorrow, it would still be the anti-obama campaign because that is what gets the base out. obamacare itself, he guess is it will become more and more settled law after this election, republicans are not going to repeal a law and replace it since they can't replace the things that people love the most, like children -- or young adults being covered by their parents, preexisting conditions and all the rest of it, so this is a political show that will go on through the mid terms, the democrats may well have a is lacking again and then we will move on from it .. >> do you think with that michael gerson? you used to work for a republican president. >> i am more favorable to obama in this circumstance. this is a very good move to replace a symbol of incompetent, incompetence with one of the most respected members of the administration in a key post in his signature initiative. and to do it at the at a time where he still cont

try president obama. al sharpton saying the president was creusified but now is resurrected. >> nothing more than terrorists. >> calling those that supported the bundy ranchers domestic terrorists. harry reed and our government have a big beef with the supporters of freedom. why this has everything to do with government intimidation. remember who was president during the energy crisis? how did that workout. no jimmy carter is weighing in on the keystone pipeline. kicking it into gear starts now. >> welcome to "cashin in." welcome everybody. holy controversy. here's something to talk about over easter dinner. al sharpton saying president obama has been resurrected after being creusified. >> no matter how you're crusified you can rise if you don't lose yourself during the hard times and challenges. as i looked at president obama at our convention last friday with all he took, he's been able to rise again. >> but the president not walking on water with most people. a new poll shows over 80% of voters don't t

putin does look at the world differently than obama does.ad of trying to lerk him, he's going to get inside of his head and figure out what his next step it will be. it's not enough to demonize the republicans and dump on them. you got to be able to deal with republicans from the position that they have not the one that you think they should have. >> that's it on this topic. up next, gazing into the crystal ball on obamacare. the performance review. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down the entire organization. i'm looking at you phone company dsl. go to comcastbusiness.com/ checkyourspeed. if we can't offer faster speeds or save you money we'll give you $150. comcast business built for business. >>> we have a law that is working. 8 million people have gained health care coverage as a result of signing up for the affordable care act plans. 129 people with preexisting conditions no l

i don't think i have a close personal relationship with obama.ma is a courageous and good person. for sure he would save me. obviously such a hypothetical is highly unlikely especially because the two declined to work out together last year at the g-8 summit. both wanted to use the gym alone, if you remember. putin ultimately acquiesced and went for a swim in the nearby lake. charges will be dropped against a special needs student convicted of disorderly conduct for recording his classmates bullying him. last week we told you about christian stanfield. his mother played the recording for school officials. they said he was guilty of felony wiretapping. in pennsylvania, it's illegal to record someone without their consent. those charges were reduced and now the district attorney says all charges will be dropped. the bullies, by the way, were reportedly never disciplined. >>> and finally, eateries with no free soda refills policies really mean business. that's a lesson a south carolina man learned the hard way yesterday when he was slapped with fede

al jazeera america. >> president obama won a second term with 70 percent of the latino vote. while he was campaigning, he promised to reform the nation's immigration laws. that goal has proved elusive, and a powerful new voting block is losing patience with the process. >> we're trying to get our congress people, our representatives, and our senators, to pass the comprehensive immigration reform. >> in june, 2013, the senate passed an enforcement-heavy bill with bipartisan support that would have provided a path to citizenship. >> but house republicans didn't follow suit. >> "speaker boehner, immigration reform is alive in the hearts of all of us gathered here today. >> "and frankly, i'll make clear, we have no intention of ever going to conference on the senate bill." >> activists besieged the halls of congress demanding action. >> who are you fighting for? who are you fighting for? >> maria, my mother. >> and you, who are you fighting for? >> my friends. >> your friends. who are you fighting for? >> my mom and my father. >> these protestors told us that under obama, immigra

that barack obama doesn't.nues to use it to advance himself politically. but, holder, i think, if you were to read his mind, hey, look, they don't like me because i'm black. >> no, look. black people and white people have two different histories, okay? the twin devils of slavery and segregation does something to the psyche. we have two different perceptions of things because of our two different histories. but, let's not pretend that these guys aren't doing when they are doing for cheap political reasons. they have to rev up their base. they know that republicans don't need anybody to get them out to vote. republicans are going to be out there. if barack obama can't get democrats out to vote, then democrats are going to suffer a major defeat. but if he can, if he can rev up the base, by stoking resentment and turning americans against each other, by telling blacks they are victims, by telling women they are victims. if they get revved up and passionate enough to go out and vote, he could take the edge off of th

and 2/3 of them went for the democratic candidate, barack obama. so what they're looking at is, where can we, among young people, among our gemdrask women, among minorities -- demographic women, among minorities, how can we encourage them to turn out in ways they did in 2008 and 2012 for president obama, but they might not because he's not on the ballot, or they're discouraged about the economy or discouraged about washington's ways? so what they're looking at is these ingredients pay equity, fairness, the idea of child care, health care. interestingly enough, the pollsters are saying if you mix the two ingredients, health care and pay equity, you can get unmarried women's intensity, the intensity of their support for democrats. so there was a pending bill and this is the third time through the turnstile and every single republican voted against it. gwen: so it's an issue. > it's an issue. is it an issue for republicans? do they see this as an snish they see this both on unemployment extension, now on this issue, minimum wage debate, they seem more

united states barack obama bows to japanese robot. obama bows to robot in japan. finds it scary. this is how far they go to attack the president. hilarious. but it highlights a serious issue. a long history of attacking president obama on foreign soil. calling him weak for bowing. >> this president seems quite willing to show weakness. >> american leaders do not bow to leaders of other countries. >> that's a deep bow, too. >> what do you make of bow gate. >> it's not appropriate for an american president to bow to a foreigner. >> you see him with the premier of china and he's bowing and his eyes are done. there's something wrong here. >> obama envies these monarchs. obama wants to be bowed to someday. >> they bow to the emperor of japan. i just don't get it. >> they're bowing at the altar of socialism. >> that's what i call artificial intelligence. president obama is on the world stage, fighting for american interests, but instead of supporting him, they short circuit him and launched another ridiculous attack. joaning me now are ryan grim and krystal ball. >> thanks for having m

i mean, 11 months ago you have barack obama. sure you were there that day coming into the east room and expressing outrage at what had been alleged about the irs and the targeting of conservative groups. then you have the super bowl interview with bill o'right where i saying there's no corruption and not even a smidgeon of corruption. how does the white house justify that given that the justice department is still investigating? >> the justice department is still investigate this. you have to remember that from the white house perspective, the thing that is most important to them is whether there has been any white house link to what the irs did? so far that has not been proven to be true. so from their perspective they say that that is the core of the issue. there are problems over at the irs. we've had changes in leadership there. we are investigating this, but the issue that was at the center of this at the very beginning, whether there was white house involvement has not been proven true, and they think that is the most impo

and we have seen it with obama, and i think obama has taken it further, frankly. again, what i see them doing is not so much of using the office but it -- abusing the office but abusing the powers and what the logic of the system is. if you don't like it, don't blame him, blame the system, or think of the ways in which one could pull back a little bit. host: another question from twitter. guest: yeah. as the is free constitution produced that -- i argued not and i do so after having looked at presidential regimes and parliamentary regimes across the world. i did some number crunching and i just compare them and threw in a bunch of variables could guess what? presidential regimes are back for liberty. they have a system that works very well for us -- we have a system that works very well for us. he just didn't get exported very well. if we succeeded another presidential regimes have failed, the conclusion teams to me is that there is something special about america, not so much the presidential system. from st. helena island, south carolina. james, go ahead and tur

president obama spoke about that in his speech to u.s. forces here, saying that anybody can brandish a missile. what shows true strength is to open the political system to democracy. little question that the words are being taken heed of in pyongyang, at a time when there's various indication that is the nooe jans are preparing -- north koreans are preparing for a fourth nuclear test. president obama is on his way to malaysia, they are reeling with the disaster of the missing flight mh370. the officials characterise them as an emerging partner, unlike a strong ally they described south korea as. he will speak to civil society leaders, and his national security leader will be speaking to ibrahim. they have been concerned about civil restrictions. >>> more than 180 people have been killed in floods in afghanistan, caused by three days of heavy rain. thousands have been displaced. survivors are in need of drinking water and medical needs. . >> reporter: flash floods turned people's lives upside down in remote parts of north and west afghanis

president obama announces 7.1 million people signed up for obama care. big celebration. as i was leaving, i said to a young press man, reporter, this is a test. what was the most significant thing about that speech today? >> he said, i don't know. what was it? >> he never mentioned kathleen sebelius. she was sitting right in front of him. anybody watching it should have known she is history at that point. >> but she wasn't on the day. it was president obama, vice president biden. she was in the front row but as far as the cameras, she was not there. >> did you think that the press swallowed this spin or not so much? >> i think everybody knew she was going but it was just a matter of time. i really do. i think we all demanded her head right away, because the media, politicians, because of the website launch. the problems with it. i think obama was playing us better. he would get some credit for playing us the way he did. he said, i'm not going to bow into it. a week after it comes out, it reminded me of all these ceremonies i watched in news rooms. >> "the daily show" bus

>> i want to get back, david made this big point somehow that obama care, we look at these numbers, obama vs. bush, and it led to more job growth. again, i would love to see the details on that as the unemployment rate has gone up, not down, since obama took office. but, look, this is a -- >> unemployment has gone down, gary. >> the unemployment rate is now higher than when obama took office. >> i don't know what math or chart you're looking at, but i don't think that's the case. >> my point is this. this is a tax on business. let's just say they opt to pay the $2,000 per employee. that is like saying, going to each business out there and saying you must put a coke machine in the lobby whether you want it or not. how is that going to increase hiring if they have to cough up more money to put the coke machine in? i'm scratching my head on this one. >> get in on the discussion. hash tag bulls & bears. thanks, guys. >>> you remember the irs bonuses we told you about last week? well, guess which employees are getting them? tax cheats. and that's not the worst of it. the business gang with mor

washington, obama is frighteningly weak. last week i asked a member of the senate if he knows of anyone who really knows obama, he said he does not. president, of course, bristled at the idea if he just had better personal relationships with members of congress, a tougher negotiator, a better back slapper or earthier politician, in other words, more like lyndon johnson, that somehow the legislative standstill of the past two years would grind into gear. in fact, in an interview with the "new yorker's" david remnick a few months ago, president obama argued when he lost that historic majority and the glow of that landslide 1964 victory faded johnson had the same problems with congress most presidents at one point or another have. i say that not to suggest i'm a master wheeler-dealer but rather to suggest they are structural institutional realities to our political system that don't have much to do with schmoozing. meanwhile, johnson acolytes are annoyed, president johnson, they believe are a product of what lbj fought so hard

it has, he is at 80%, i obama is at 43. >> stephen: maybe obama should invade saskatchewan, somethingbut i don't do domestic politics. but that's to the going to last because in the long run this some that putin set up in autocratic reg seem i think will run its course and if the economy begins to tank his support will also fall. >> stephen: is there any mechanism inside russia to stop him or does very complete power. >> he has complete-- not total power. there is a lot of rich people that don't want to lose their money because of the adventures in ukraine but that's part of the robb f russia were more democratic, if there were a congress f there were opposition parties, if there were a show like yours in russia that would be criticism-- criticizing president putin that would make it more costly for him. right now he doesn't have those kind of controls on his power. >> stephen: if there was a show like mine in russia i would let someone else start my car. your excellency.

you know they are on -- it's not called obama care. they may not know what it is, but increasingly if he goes out and says i'm going to repeal that, he can't do that. but he's lying when he says he wants to fix it because he doesn't. >> he understand people are getting dental care and help for the very first time in their lives. and to say to them i'm going to take that away from you because it's associated with obama care doesn't work. i want to go to north carolina. and you have the same sort of issue happening. karl rove's american crossroads ran an ad and they were supporting the establishment command. his name was tom tillis. let's look at the original ad. >> tom tillis, true to our values. as speaker, eliminated a $2.5 billion deficit. and cut taxes. the conservative guts to replace obama care with honest health care reforms. >> his tea party opponent goes on the attack and brannon's campaign ad said it makes no talk of repealing obama care. now here's the ad. >> the guts to repeal and replace obama care. >> can they get themselv

she'll sing for several minutes before president obama takes the stage. we mentioned the important role of history in this debate and looming shadows on president johnson's legacy, wlr questions whether this event and look back at the positive accomplishments of his career could recast him in a different light. from that i want to turn to special guests on this. first of all, someone who is an authority on the equal rights movement and a lot of challenges in civil rights today, benjamin jealous, the former president of naacp and presidential historian, michael beschloss, an authority on that legacy question. michael, i'll start with you while we're hearing this powerful performance. lbj is a dif isive figure. do you think this is a opening to recast his legacy? >> no question. the johnson people hope very much the next few days particularly for a generation of americans who doesn't know much about lbj, to make sure that at least these people know what he did not only for civil rights but education and poverty and did a lot to create the world we're living

no one has had it better in the obama era than the extraordinarily rich. >> if barack obama begins taxing me more than 50%, which is very possible, i don't know how much longer i'm going to do this. >> so why are some of the wealthiest americans complaining the most? because it works. take big oil. the united states is now on track to become the world's top oil producer. >> oil. the united states is enjoying an energy renaissance. >> needless to sate oil companies are doing just fine. >> it's a bonanza! and the stocks have been some of the best performers imaginable. >> and yet oil companies across

and 44% think president obama plans to stay in office beyond 2017.ust 25% of voters identify as a republican. that's an all-time low. are the extremist views hurting the gop brand, drew? >> well, i think the extremist views are hurting the gop brand broadly speaking. but there are still people within the gop who believe they are politically well served, at least in the short term by pushing these kinds of conspiracy theories, and we know that because they continue to push them or allow them to be pushed. i think that's one of the most disturb things about this, how deeply cynical it all is. there are a lot of people on the far right who i disagree with. i disagree with the kochs on just about everything. at the end of the day, these are smart people. and yet they continue to allow groups like americans for prosperity to push just lies about the affordable care act or the president obama'sed a menstruation. >> at least the president takes it in stride. at my convention on friday, watch how he can handle it. he takes it in stride. >> do you remember a

president obama says he loves transparency. is he no help.ecides what happened before the facts are known and expects us to accept his pronouncement. remember his no smidgen of corruption crack? just today, after the smidgen remark, we learned of an email where lois lerner, of course is, angling for a job with president obama's political group organizing for action. now, that's cozy. i know the irs too, they are not going to like my idea. in fact, they are going to hate it and say can't do. they are protecting the privacy interest of taxpayers. get a way around that one, too. tea party groups and others suspecting they were targeted may just want to waive their privacy rights. they are fed up with the irs. and they don't, for one second, think the irs is their pal. now, suddenly protecting them when for the last six years they have been their target. so, it's our turn to help. the american people crowd sourcing. i bet the targeted trust the american people more than they trust congress, the president. and the irs all rolled into one. let's ge

what is it about the depiction of obama that you see as driving some anti-obama agenda? give me some specifics. what is on the air that shows you that they have been unfair to president obama? fox news ran with the report that they were educated in the dross to him skirting very closely to the line of pushing this idea that in he's hiding his beliefs into the obama campaign complained and they issued some apologies. but it if this idea of pointing out the american mainstream. he said in the meetings that obama hates capitalism into that green energy -- they have hammered the solyndra bankruptcy that is emblematic of this idea that obama wants to get control of america's economy. i think the healthcare debate it wasn't just relegated to the base but this idea that whether the healthcare bill had the death penalty and it was a legitimate point of the healthcare debate was because fox was pushing it aggressively. i think what is interesting is that obama's candidacy really changed the mission of fox news. i interviewed someone very close to him and he said prior to the cand

president barack obama making history as first u.s.resident to visit malaysia in almost five decades. stepping down onto the tarmac and shaking hands with officials, steps away from the so-called beast, the fortified and reinforced black limousine that transports the u.s. president when he is overseas. will ripley is in kuala lumpur. one interesting aspect of this this visit, too, will, is that the u.s. president will be appointing one of his top diplomats, susan rice, and allowing her to meet with several members of the opposition in malaysia. what kind of message is being sent with that? >> reporter: very significant message. it says a lot about the state of malaysian politics. last year was the closest the opposition has been to take control of this country, the b.n. party, since they declared independence from britain nearly 60 years ago. you have a party in power, the establishment, and another party moving upwards. the fact he's sending his highest level security adviser, susan rice, to meet with opposition leaders sends a clear

that does limit obama's hand.ink that the white house would do a better job on this idea of economic sanctions. this is a defining tool of obama's presidency, of the 21st century and interconnected global economy. we have eliminated by about one-third of the oel sales. they have economic growth and help him run an authority takive government. he should know that it could impact his hold on power. that's the key. >> isn't that -- isn't it a point that if sakes were really -- you know, putin is getting the short-term bump internally. he is getting some internal bump out of this. that is really for his own public's consumption, this image of russia wra being reborn and russia being strong again. should the united states rachet up the sanctions to make him pay an economic cost inside the country? is that the way to go? >> well, i think the answer will be yes if he moves into eastern ukraine. >> you can make an argument. i don't expect it, but you can talk about why russia had a special interest in crimea, and what put
