largely during the obama administration. but as you look at the nato during the trump administration and now, the biden admits, is there a difference in the way the administration's approach their relations with nato? guest: there may be an difference in rhetoric, but when it comes to the substance, i think the difference between the american administration is the same goal. more sharing within nato. the me remind you that in september, 2014, that was during the obama administration, we decided all nato allies should live up to the so-called 2% target. that is, they should invest at least 2% of their gdp and their defense. at that time, only three allies did so. trump stepped up the rhetoric, and he almost threatened european countries come in today, we, i would say, around have of the lado -- nato allies live up to the 2% target. i have no doubt that the biden administration will continue that kind. host: the rhetoric from president donald trump was successful as the nato countries increased their contributions. guest: durin

they actually sued the obama administration. that is normal. massachusetts sued george bush's epa. sometimes that is normal. sometimes you work with the administration and sometimes you come at a crossroads. i am so grateful to wake up each morning with the biden harris administration in place. we are going to keep looking for opportunities to partner with them on addressing climate change including efforts to deal with the economic insecurities we are facing, standing up for reproductive rights. joining in the u.s. department of justice sued -- suit to keep that horrible bill from going forward in texas. one of the things i see is the trumpet administration had no respect for the rule of law, institutional norms. it is so refreshing to have an administration that believes in those things, believes in science, believes in data. but the consequences of those trumpet years are significant and we live with that every day. we have to keep finding ways to partner with federal partners and local partners to really push back and try to make things right again. going in a direction of quali

host: you were the head of osha during the obama administration. you advised the incoming biden administration on a number of issues. did you have any role in advising the administration on the development of this rule? guest: i did not. i was on a national academy of sciences panel to develop an equitable framework for the allocation of vaccine. that was important, to point out the importance of workplaces and especially essential workers, workers and essential history -- essential industries who have to show up to work. particularly overrepresented are black and brown workers. i did not have a direct role in advising on this particular rule. host: there have been reports in the last couple of days, on the effectiveness of mandates issued by a private company. in particular, i'm talking about health companies, medical facilities, hospitals across the country. guest: that's right. there is a rule coming down from a different federal agency, the center for medicare and medicaid services, which is essentially the system that provides medicare and medi

keep in mind the last time the irs had this much clout, this much power it was during the obama administrationconservative so get ready. they are coming after you again. this is an invasion of our privacy. this is a weapon icing the irs to be able to look at our bank accounts. if you have a venn mail or paypal, if you are using those once you get over $600 all this at the irs is going to be on your trail for their going to be following everything that you do. this is socialism for this is not the start of socialism, that is socialism but this is exactly what they want. they want this where they have control over everything. >> you know, the wall street journal did a great op-ed saying if it if they change the threshold to 10,000 dollars, it is still capturing most americans. if you get a social security check of $1200, if you are getting paid by your company, you are all getting captured the obama administration weaponize the irs. >> they did. that is why i have proposed we need to deal with the irs. they will they put us in a fair playing field. you choose what you want to buy. and therefore

having been the secretary of agriculture first time around as the obama administration longest member of the cabinet then and coming back for more as agriculture secretary now. so welcome and thanks for, we look forward to this conversation. let me -- >> thank you. >> well, let me start by asking about rural economy. i think that there's probably some selection bias and those tunes in, we all understand the importance of this issue, but there are, i think, millions of americans who don't appreciate the importance and say, well, it's too bad, what's happening in some of these back waters like amhill, oregon, or in parts of iowa. but end of the day, as brookings noted frankly 72% of the jobs created between 2008 and the pandemic were in met trat paul tin areas with a population of more than 1 million and to the extent the country's economic future depends on some of these new technologies, that that should be the nation's focus and not these places in rural america. how do we respond to those skeptics? why does this matter? >> well, it matters first and foremost because rural america is

but we're back, you know, that that was short lived and now we're in sort of back in the obama administration with biden, i'm doing the same thing, went to sort of odd this continuous effort to gin up an american anti russian sentiment. i did the sad thing is that, you know, as one of your speakers earlier said, is that the, it's the average person who gets hurt by this? i mean, yeah, you did mention the fact that tourists have to get a visa to come to the us from russia. so that means that even tourism is difficult . you to come to the usaa as a tourist, you have to go to warsaw and you have to get the shing and visa. so it gets very expensive. um, i mean, it's all very childish. it seems to me, yeah, that who has you know, that what do you think of russia being added to the same list as the life of ron syria? indian? well, it's like every other country on that list is a 3rd world country. and looks like half of them are countries that are war torn's, you know, they're either involved in civil wars or wars. and, you know, understandably in those countries, the u. s. doesn't have much in the

barack and i thought it should come down, the paris accord, which when i was with the obama administration we helped negotiate and the obama biden administration. >> joe spends a lot of time a lot of time talking about the former president while not acting very presidential himself. maybe he is not the great and powerful oz. maybe it's the cdc. maybe dr. anthony fauci is the man behind the curtain, more on that in just a moment come up on "fox news primetime." but the scariest answer to this question may be that no one is pulling the strings every day this white house looks more and more like a rudderless ship that is spinning around in circles, almost like wandering around. a cnn town hall. joining me now fox news contributor tomi lahren and fearless with jason whitlock contributor delano scirs, thank you for being with us tonight tomi, who is in charge? >> well, i think that the answer is obama administration hold overs but joe biden what happens when you get your president vote by nail. we really expect anything different from this president? he moderate. far left progressives. and he k

we should have started a decade ago during the obama administration. budgets were tight we now know, here's a statistic people need to understand what it takes about $1400 an acre to properly treat an acre, to reduce the fire risk. >> you said 1400? >> 1400. it takes $50000 to put the fire out on that acre. you tell me which makes more sense? spending 1400 bucks or 50000? and all of the ramifications of that fire after the fact, the flooding and the difficulty in production and all of that that comes from it. we have got to get serious about this. as a country we've got to understand we are collectively involved in this. if your forces are not properly manage the not doing their job as a reservoir of water. when they don't get that job, you are faced with some very difficult choices you have to make it. but now governors and federal officials across the country are having to make relative to water resources. >> will thank you for engaging with us today. i like to think of you not only agriculture secretary but in some sense of rural affairs. that is of

. -- and says former obama administration official, recruiting republicans, also known as, never-trumpersd t democrats to the board of voter protection program. >> and that is number one, number two, mark zuckerberg. the ceo spent hundreds of millions to turn out likely key democratic voters, but not traditional millional funding, targeting a private takeover government elect the operation by nonprofit organizations. analysis conducted by "new york post" said demonstrates this money increasing joe biden vote margin in key swing states, in places like georgia. and arizona. and spending likely put him over the top. this unprecedented merger of public election offices where private resources and personnel is an acute threat to our republic and should be focus of moving forward, center for technology and civic life and center for election innovation and research passed 419.5 million dollars of zuckerberg's money to local government election officers and it came with strings. every ctc l and ceir grant, spelled out in detail conditions under when grant money was to be used. the money had nothi

no doubt about that, i have the plight of american truckers for decades, a lot goes back to obama administrationing, you talk about the teamsters, a couple days ago, democrat asked biden administration to set aside 4500 dollars for people who want to buy electric vehicles, made only by union shops, okay that is not tesla or any of the innovative companies, that entrepreneurship. and it is really amazing, these are self-inflicted wounds, the biggest one, will be the war on fossil fuels, if you want talk about epicenter of crisis here, it is high cost of gasoline that is hurting everything. that began the day after the election. crude oil prices went through the roof because president biden said i'm declaring war. guess what, what you declare war you limit supply. demand does not go down. and what has gone up. a the consequence is the price, and most debilitates tax on americans. >> you were energy independent to your point up to trump administration, now begging opec to provide us with more oil, and biden had a phone call with energy executives asking them to cut prices. we have half as many rigs

tweet again from ron claimant sings all economic problems, he's pointed to jason furman, the obama administration economists saying all of these problems are high-class problems, what does that mean and do you think that's accurate? >> it's totally wrong, it's an example of how out of touch the biden administration is. americans across the country are paying 40% more for gas. if you drive an hour and a half to work, that's a huge hit to your family budget. to say it's a high-class problem -- which people can take care of higher prices but working families can't and we are this now for months, the supply chain problems are going to make it worse. what little money they have left their go to have a difficult time buying christmas gifts for their kid, it's a disaster. >> shannon: i want to put up the cost of food, people can see what's up over the past september to next december, bacon and meat and seafood, all kinds of things you put on your table. here is how congressman jim banks, republican described in this issue and how this stuff is impacting real americans in their wallets. >> working-class

during the obama administration, manchin was one of the largest voices opposing.sequently, he reversed his position under the trump administration. could yoexplaiwhat happened? daniel: respectively, these rules were seeking to limit imposed regulations on the way coal, fire plants could release mercury. this would work great -- but create a requirement to use expensive technology and sthe industry was opposed to anything that could cut into their profits. once the technology was already installed, suppliers were able to increase their rates which are passed on to consumers. during the trump years when parts of the industry were looking at that overturning by these regulations, companies had already incorporated the cost into their grades. removing them could have also forced them to lower the rates they were being charged, having already suffered a loss from installing this technology. manchin went from decrying the regulation of these extremely dangerous production facilitie to turning around and saying that mercury is a stream we dangerous for children -- extrem

about the federal vaccine but you served the longest serving osha head from 2009 during the obama administration - 2017 and probably in terms of what osha how do they enforce workplace rules and regulations across the country. >> i'm glad to answer the question so it many people do not understand what it is and how it works in osha is 50 years old, essentially said his employers responsibility have a requirement to provide a workplace free of recognize serious hazards - his job is to make sure employers follow the law pretty osha does lots of things many tools for most powerful tool osha has is a standard, rules this is employers must do certain things to perfect and to protect workers and that is powerful because most employers are law-abiding and the government agency, they say holy going to be the loan comply pretty and so osha has emergency standard around it testing for example will have a big effect without any sort of enforcement. then by osha beyond these rules in osha does have inspectors, tolabor department has hundredsf more inspectors as well and then they go out in the morning the w

she is also the former director of policy for the obama administration. dr.ered a lot of terrible news to that, and it is so great to be with you talking about a positive development. so how soon can we expect covid vaccines to be available for kids 5 to 11? >> yeah, alicia, it's incredible. so the countdown, tuesday the fda advisory committee will meet. as you said, they really are kind of overwhelmingly leaning towards a positive decision. the advisory committee meets november 1st and 2nd, and our clinics are already prepared in that following week. let's say somewhere around the week of november 8th we will start to have at least 15 million shots available. remember, there are 28 million children between ages of 5 and 11, so we have plenty and are excited to get that out. >> reporter: as these become available for younger kids, what are you going to say to parents who might be hesitant about giving it to their kid? >> i was waiting for this fda data and it came in friday night, the fda response to the pfizer data. it was encouraging, alicia. it said a coup

belligerence mean, and i mean, competence of the biden administration or they, they changed the obama administration change some of the terms of the bush administration. so obama came into office, very cognizant of the of the kind of excess is that those spoke is about. and from the very beginning he tried to address secrecy. he tried to make rock of procedures go back to sort of respecting a normal vetting of issues. and potential policies and to clarify some of the language. however, even the best intentions under obama went awry in this particular respect. in part because it was some of these were useful tools, secrecy being one of them. but also, and also language, the devastation of language as you referred to earlier. assassination, you know, these persisted as, as a way of redefining assassination during the drone killer and chief, i mean, is it the road to hell, paved with good intentions? if you think that the drawn strikes and so they just became very, very useful tools that nobody had wanted to give up on. and my point of the book is that leaving them on the table is what gave you extra p

you are going to see projects from the obama administration.lobby list of entitlements we cannot afford. and add to the debt it adds the deficit spending but from my point increasing inflation we are to have a huge problem in terms of inflation, working out wage against making everybody poor. also entitlements will encourage people to not work. twenty years ago, maria, in 2000 the labor participation rate was over 67%. it's almost six points lower than that. businesses cannot hire people. we have not only the supply chain disruptions, we have shortages of workers whether it's healthcare workers, truckers, whether it's longshoremen, manufacturers having to shut down shifts. we have all the ingredient's i mentioned this before on previous programs we have all the ingredients for stag inflation. we take a look at the meager growth in the third quarter were 5% inflation which will probably keep growing. that is what it is. it is ugly very difficult to get out of this but i heard your early comments some democrats of the biden administration is on t

david michaels was the osha administrator during the obama administration. he's professor at george washington school of public health. we appreciate your time tonight. >>> still ahead, we saw record voting turnout in 2020. the response to that achievement might surprise you. that's next. >>> the 2020 election drew the largest voter turnout in american history during a pandemic. that should be celebrated, but in response to that milestone, republican controlled state legislatures have taken huge steps in stripping away voting rights chip by chip. 19 states from enacted laws that will make it harder for americans to vote. and it's against that backdrop that democrats in congress are taking action against these restrictive voting laws. in august, the house passed the john lewis voting rights advancement act. which is named for john lewis. every single republican in the house voted against it. the bill would restore part of the gutted 1965 voting rights act that requires states with recent histories of racial discrimination in voting to get federal approval fro

and in 2013 under the obama administration, he was imprisoned for leaking classified information. copping on the show this evening. the central issue of abu zubaydah's case is this idea that his torture and detention at a black site in poland is a state secret, even though the facts about his treatment and cia torture are now widely known, partly thanks to you. do you buy that argument? and is it strange for you, the man who caught him, to now be advocating for his release from guantanamo where he has been held without charge since 2006? >> it is funny the twists and turns that life takes, isn't it? you know, so much has been written about abu zubaydah, not just by journalists, but by the people who were involved in his torture, michlin jeffs, the two contract psychologists have written about him. they have given interviews about him. one of them wrote a memoir in they defended the torture. three former cia directors wrote a rebuttal to the senate torture report defending the torture. everybody knows that abu zubaydah was tortured. it's not a state secret. but this is what the cia

>> i was out in washington, d.c., had had internships in the white house, under the obama administrationwas part of the 16 bernie sanders run. >> as kids would say, you have receipts. >> yeah. >> you participate in the process. >> but what i observed over time was a process that was so incremental. >> code red for humanity. >> historic floods and tornados. >> drought conditions impacting 60 million americans. >> we're at this point in human history, and there are already climate migrations happening, seas are rising. there is a point we start to look around and open our eyes and say, enough? >> reporter: so she came back home, back to minnesota, where she's up against her latest opponent, the line 3 pipeline. approved by both minnesota and federal authorities, it transports tar sands from canada to lake superior. the company enbreach describes it as a modernization and safety replacement project for an aging line put in in the 1960s. mike fernandez is the chief communications officer for enbridge. you call it and the company has referred to this as a replacement project. others call it a

knew this getting back to obama administration that there's a huge bag lock of visas that hadn't beenn't be done quickly. the biden administration had made improvements on that since n the marginses since january but that was something that we should have better foreseen and better prepared for. we had to do evacuations that we were just -- there was no really way to process all of the applications, we were pulling people out willy nilly and very chaotic. so, yes, they could have done better at the same time, you know, there's never any easy way to end the war that you're losing. it's easy to start one but a lot harder to end it and you look at the last 7 years, obama and trump and biden all tried to end the war. obama promised he would by the end of second term and the reason he didn't is he was worried there would be a collapse of the afghan government and so he kept troops over there. same thing with trump, he promised to end war and generals advised him, if you pull out now the afghan government will collapse. you need to keep troops there even though he kicked the can down to roa

government knew this going back to the obama administration. s a huge backlog of visa applications that were not processed and could not be done quickly. i think the biden administration made some improvements but that is something we should have foreseep and better prepared for. so we were just -- no way could we process all of those applications. pulling people out willy nilly. there is never any easy way to end a war that you're losing. it's easy to start one but it is harder to end it. you look at the last seven years and obama, trump, and biden tried to end the war. the reason he didn't is he was worried about a collapse of the afghan government and the same thing with troops over there. he promised to try and they said if you pull out now the government could collapse. you need to keep some troops there. he kind of kicked it down the road. and it was probably going to be chaotic no matter what but it didn't have to be that chaotic. >> i have time for a couple more questions. i am focusing on two that have to do with journalism, both, you k

and he did face trouble getting confirmed the first time around in the obama administration from senatorsand joe manchin, two critical votes for democrats. so it will be interesting to see their reaction to this nomination if the president moves forward with it. >> dr. patel, how important is it, first of all, your reaction to tyler's reporting and how important is it that the fda has a permanent head? >> i think it is incredibly important and i do think that having a nominee who has been vetted, had to be battle tested, and who the agency staff know is pretty critical. we just need some confidence in the transition plan. here is the news. i don't think that any nominee will get confirmed quickly. so it looked like the interim will be in place for a while and that is probably a degree of security given how much work the agency needs to do in the next three weeks. >> dr. patel, tyler pager, thank you both very much for joining us on what has been a very busy afternoon. if you are keeping track, five breaking news stories just in the last couple of hours. we got more ahead including intervi

restarting nuclear talks with iran after president trump pulled out of a deal brokered by the obama administration. >> when would you like talks with iran to resume? >> reporter: the new global minimum corp rapt tax won't go into effect right away. each country will have to craft its own legislation and pass it. president biden has already inserted the measure into his new "build back better" bill which was released this week and which he hopes to pass next month. irika. >> sargent: nancy cordes in rome, thank you. tensions are rising across the country over vaccine mandates as unvaccinated workers face deadlines to get their shots. cbs' michael george in new york, where first responders are in the spotlight. michael. >> reporter: irika, good evening. right now, the f.d.n.y.'s vaccination rate is at 77% and the n.y.p.d.'s is at 84%, and that could rise over the weekend, but there's a lot of concern about what happens if thousands of officers, firefighters, and city workers are put on unpaid leave. garbage is piling up in some new york neighborhoods, sanitation crews apparently skipping pickups to

the obama administration was enormously stu porttive and they spurred the development of the commercial crew program which did launch humans and that mission which took place last year happened under president trump's watch. it's interesting. you've seen over the years the white house typically, were it's republican or democrat, has been pretty supportive of commercial space. >> nasa has caution built into its dna. it's obviously accomplished amazing things, even recently with mars, but it's often seen as plotting and slow and spacex is sort of cutting edge and scrappy. spacex hasn't killed anybody yet. it takes just one dead astronaut for nasa to say, hold on, we need to stop and make sure we know what we're doing. i'm not for a second saying spacex engineers aren't incredibly careful and incredibly professional. losing an astronaut is a way of sobering an administration. >> that's a risk going forward. they're going to launch five human missions and that is taking out a lot of area. nasa's culture is risk averse, rather plotting. spacex is going as fast as they can moving forward and

and, of course, we saw lois lerner and president obama's administration, how they weaponized the irs.ions matter, maria. elections matter a lot. i really do hope that americans are awakening to the urgency of this moment. we're at a hinge point. we need to turn america away from this path or off this path that president biden and the democrats are putting us on. maria: and that certainly feels like that's where this is going. i want to get your take on news at the end of the week from merck, because the drugmaker announced a new experimental oral truck for covid-19 -- drug for covid-19, senator. they say it reduced by 50% the chance of hospitalization or death for patients at risk of severe covid. your thoughts on this new drug. i should point out that merck's stock did very well on the news of this experimental drug, but i realize that merck also is the maker of eye bro member tin, and -- ivermectin, and this is a drug you've talked about being a purposefully good treatment for covid. >> listen, i am for whatever works to end this pandemic. i think it's just terrible that we have not
