a.b. stoddard associate editor of "the hill" and charles krauthammer. a.b.? >> hillary looks convince bl but she's indeed old news old stuff. the default leaders of the democratic party. this is a very different democratic party not only than the one she faced and failed in convincing in 2008 but that her husband became the nominee in 1992. they're trying to persuade everyone that they simply are unbeatable but there's a lot of vulnerability not only about her record at the state department which will come under heavy question but also the very lavish you know trips she takes on corporate airplanes, the willingness of the foundation revealed this week to take donations from foreign governments. they see no conflict of interest there, and, of course, these very expensive speeches. she's been close up to the time of the announcement about putting a presidential campaign together. there are people who have space to challenge her, but whether or not they have the courage to do so. >> steve, you talk to democrats and there is this angst about the clinton candidacy

a.b. stoddard, associate editor of "the hill" and syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. overall thoughts on this policy these moves and the fallout? >> many of the critics of the policy soup to assume the cuban regime will crumble when its founding dictator dies. the problem with that is that the soviet regime survived the death of its founding dictator by 67 years. the soviet regime survived the death of his successor stalin. it began under the presidency of dwight eisenhower. as did attempts by the united states to bring the regime down. the regime has survived the presidencies of eisenhower, kennedy, johnson, nixon, ford, carter reagan bush, clinton, bush, and obama. that's 11 presidencies. it's not going to fall by itself. we don't know what will work but 50 years of futility is probably about enough. >> jason, as we've heard in this hour critics of this policy say this was the time because the soviets are no longer supporting like they did, neither is venezuela because of falling crude prices. if this is the time, critics say this is a lifeline to the castro brother

and i think a.b.y right, that, you know, they really have been hoping that with all the confusion, all the smoke and hysteria about all these other scandals that thiess some of them will -- these scandals that at least some of them will fall by the wayside. i imagine some of them will. i imagine some people will get away with stuff here -- gregg: right. >> but it looks increasingly unlikely that lois lerner and anybody at the irs will get away with much. gregg: well that's obstruction of justice -- >> oh, we would go to jail. gregg: and if you lie about it to congress that's percentage. we'll wait and see. good to see you both. jenna: well, a dangerous power play for one of america's enemies. who iran says this missile was meant for and the impact it could have on the upcoming nuclear talks. >>> speaking of that, this is a familiar scene. we see from bin laden's lair new documents show specifics on plots to kill more americans. we explore one revelation, al-qaeda's connection to tehran, next. this is

. >> joining us our political panel the hill's a.b. stoddard and "weekly standard's" john mccormick. a.b. harf says we can't kill our way out. killing will stop the beheading. if we kill them they can't behead. jobs a good idea. been waiting since february of 2009 for many americans to get stimulus for jobs. your thought on what is going on there. >> what she said root why isis has been able to galvanize westerner who's the fight is actually reasonable. president george w. bush said the same things. he said in the absence of -- with poverty you have a vacuum and lack of hope that can lead to terrorism. >> so much. >> i'm telling you this is what our previous president said. then is he wrong too. very silly after the day we saw 21 christians beheaded in egypt there is a sense in this country that there is not a sense of urgency about the severity of the problem within this white house. and that they are playing down the real security threat while they try to talk about the long-term resolution of root causes. why that is sensible and re

a.b., your thoughts on this budget you?ither take a stab at the irs or move along to the other partive. >> i agree with rick, unfortunately, that it does need to be overhauled top to finish. republicans talking privately can't enforce anything because it's such a mess and they don't have enough budget to get it on the right track again. >> that's terrible it? >> literally has to be. and actually democrats should really run on this and talk about this. it's a popular issue with the american people. and they should talk about how important it is to overhaul the irs. the budget is not a piece of legislation, you know, your viewers should not be confused. this is an aspirational campaign blueprint for the next run for president. president obama dearly hopes that it remains in democratic hands. the white house when he leaves office. can you look across it and see. he knows republicans are going to agree only on easing some sequester restraints and defense spending. probably acting on arming the ukrainian army and sending some mo

i disagree with a.b. it's time for republicans to move on.e the keystone pipeline. talked about it be a nawsm. used ad nauseam. forward looking strong substantive agenda, move beyond keystone, make your arguments and then be done with it. >> a fair and balanced panel. that's it for the panel. stay tuned to meet a little girl with a very big heart.

a.b. stoddard, charlie hirt. thank you both. >> thank you.enna: isis known as the world's richest terrorist organization so where does it get the money and what is being done to stop the flow of cash? apparently it didn't have to do as much with oil as we thought in the past. we'll go in depth. >>> train derailment sending this into the air. its cargo goes into the river. what it was carrying that is sparking some major concern. jon: right now a state of emergency declared in west virginia after a train derailment. you can see the horrible results. tank cars exploding sending massive pillars of flame and smoke boiling into the air. this happened monday just 30 miles southeast of charleston. the engine was pulling more than 100 tankers of crude oil sending at least one of them into the kenewa river. the explosion setting a house on fire. nearby residents are force to evacuate as environmental officials remain on the scene. one person was treated for potential smoke inhalation. but nobody else amazingly was hurt. jenna: numbers on the isis mone

this the didn't just start with this president, a.b.?well, it is true if you are barack obama, and you can do this, you can use it to your advantage, and i'm not opposed at all to presidents humanizing himself. he will invite some criticism this week for some of the contents of the video, because it is sort of, you know, a little bit goofy, but also because it is not going to might not this week have something to do with to a amidst the crises to get a few more acha enrollees, and the visitors have been unbelievable, and the public likes that the, and he should continue to do what works, but the jury is still out on whether or not this video works. >> and i don't see anything wrong wit. and at first, you see buzzfeed, and when you see it, it is humanizing him and it is is good clean fun. and he is drinking cookies and mill milk, and how much more and you don't get more american than that? i mean a lot of people do that and our own wolf blitzer likes cookie and milk before bed, a.b.? >> and it is self-deprecating, and he says, thank you,

. >> and joining us our political panel the hill's a.b. stoddard the "the washington post" blake.., almost every week we see the irrelevancy going up -- irs going up there and display showing what they do to the american people is disgraceful. >> this investigation has gone on for a very long time. the administration has not given the congress the information that theist has been asking for. we had a big story this week, you know bob cusack my editor and chief submitted freedom of information requests to the treasury departments asking for a 12 emails. many months ago. not one came back. they said it was personnel privacy issues. interagency issues. could be legal proceedings underway. there are known none criminal or legal proceedings coming against lois lerner that we know of. still her emails can't come. what you see both in their responses to requests for information and in their testimony on the hill is they have absolutely bought the idea the american public isn't paying attention to this. the administration can keep on focusing on other problems, that everyone is on to isis

that creates greater doubt as well. >> a.b., will that fly in iowa?atest liability is his position on immigration, which is actually sort of been softened in different ways over time. he also obviously has a problem with common core, education standards. but the immigration issue is what talk radio is fired up about now. and is already bashing him over. it's a long way to iowa. he doesn't really know today's republican party. he has to get to know them. saying border security first is the right thing to do. is he trying to open up this argument that he can win the general because he is he going to secure the border but then he has this rational path. it's not popular with the conservative wing of the party. conservatives had a problem with imreform before the border crisis last summer is. and now moderate republicans have a problem with comprehensive immigration reform because they don't trust this president to execute. very tough issue for jeb bush. i agree with charles. i would recommend a little coffee. but i think that it's good that he is trying

assembly member mark levine introduced a.b.157 which would combine the environmental review process in the hopes of returning drivers to a faster commute sooner rather than later. >> the key problem with getting that live lane built is the retaining wall that was install -- that third lane built is the retaining wall that was installed many years ago has to be torn down. >>> the woman known as a regular stow-away is at it again. this is the newest mugshot of 63-year-old marilyn hartman after being arrested for fraud. police say she impersonated a hotel guest to get a room at the omni resort in jacksonville. after being caught she slipped away and took shelter in a room that was being renovated. san francisco police arrested hartman a number of times at sfo for trying to bore flight without ticket. last year she snuck on a flight from san jose to los angeles. >>> how often do you do this? watch out. tonight we discovered one red light camera in the bay area that is nailing 600 drivers a month for those california stops. >> a big bay area fire tonight. this man has raised almost $200,000

. >> reporter: this man owns a.b. trucking. he says all the mixed messages are frustrating. >> the e-mails coming to us are saying everything's fine. but then when we try to pick up our containers, they're not available. >> reporter: the backlog could take weeks or months to fully resolve. in oakland, laura anthony, abc 7 news. >>> this is the reaction from city college of san francisco students when the school introduced its new special trustee this morning. some students and staff shouted down the man. students are upset about the cuts imposed by the previous special trustee. the ccf board of trustees will gain control of the school in july. >>> the search is on for whoever placed a dog and her puppy in a sandbag and threw the bag out of a vehicle >>> the santa cruz animal shelter found the animals on friday and released this picture today, saying the bigger dog chewed her way out of the bag and pulled her puppy out. the puppy died after being hit in the road. the animal shelter reminds people that it accepts all domestic ani

. >> a.b., he is done. >> well, this is what happens when you have four terms.'s just a bad idea. generally speaking i think none of his allies long time allies who begged him the house speaker on and on, democratic leadership who begged him to step aside they would be standing by him if they didn't think it was bad. he can blame the media, it was bad enough that his staunchest oilist said it's time. >> innocent until proven guilty. bigger problem than stepping down as governor. there are criminal investigation into him. and you know, you have to wonder when you look back on this, he was popular. he was reelected. was it -- why did he not see a problem in his fiancee collecting contracts from these same companies that were affected by public policy that she was advising on. i think he is in a lot of hot water right now. >> now we want to move on to the candidate casino. >> where are you handing out potential contenders. >> high roller tonight i'm going with 50 on jeb bush. i nowaker is the new flavor so i'm putting 30 on him. only if there is implosion and givin

and joining us our political panel the hill's a.b. stoddard and "weekly standard's" john mccormick. john, the administration coming out and hitting the president -- or prime minister netanyahu with a 2 by 4. >> they say they don't want to let this influence israeli elections. it has everything to do with them wanting to undermine netanyahu. critical critics dealing with iran that the obama administration is pursuing. if they were confident this is a good deal they wouldn't mind having netanyahu here to make the case against it if they thought this was defensible. gotten unhinged lately. john kerry says we can't trust netanyahu because he supported the iraq war. this is john kerry who voted for the iraq war. hillary clinton voted for the iraq war now we can't listen to this guy because he supported it. he didn't vote for it or sent people off to that war. >> the administration is with speaker boehner because they are mad that speaker boehner didn't notify the white house that he had invited the prime minister to come and talk about iran nuclear weapons. so, it's sort of they are mad

burwell received her a.b. from harvard university and b.a. from oxford university where she was a rhodes scholar. so we're honored to have you here and we want to thank you for being here today. you can proceed with your opening statement. >> thank you. thank you, chairman hatch. and ranking member wyden and members of the committee for having me here today. i want to thank you for the opportunity to discuss the president's budget for health and human services. i believe firmly that we all share common interests and therefore, we have a number of opportunities to find common ground. from preventing and treating substance abuse to advancing the promise of precision medicine to building an innovation economy and strengthening the american middle class. the budget before you makes critical investments in healthcare science innovation, and human services. it maintains our responsible stewardship of the taxpayer dollars. it strengthens our work together with the congress to prepare our nation for key challenges at home and abroad. for h.h.s., it p

. >> a.b. you get the community to chip in. extremism. >> it is another indication. they still have a plan that political islam is a kind of pretty old. it is now the world. unless we understand that it is an ideology there is no way we will be in effect is even with the new tech weeks of social media. you have to have a theory and strategy. i think the obama administration is following, when you see a fork in the road, take it. [laughter] charles: the muslim community has come out and said, listen, dies please do not use the term radical islam. what do you make of the idea of putting those served ahead of the, the fact is everyone else considers it to be a metaphor for him. >> the president's job is to rally the country again our enemies. i think radical islam is the enemy of the united states. it is not just that. this administration is about to sign a deal, i think almost any day. the terrorists and their supporters come in a lot of different shapes and sizes. if you want to ask the people that are most familiar and suffered

a.b. shirov would say or i would say that okay this is your policy. needed a stimulus coming out of 2000 and eight. but you went out and did a boondoggle of nothing. that really didn't create shovel ready jobs. >> what charlie said. >> i say the same. tom: a new study says that convenience stores account for 11% of beverage stocks in 2014, instead of 6% for fast casual. joining us now john come i keep hearing about how the millennialist won all of this polity of scale and yet it looks like they are going cheap. what do you say? >> they are going cheap, it is a landscape change. when you think about how it has impacted fast food and fast casual, i wonder it if we need a whole new category now. and to millennialist a convenience store is not just a gas station but a food store. so they still think of it as that gas station. so the shift and the millennialist don't have the commitment to legacy brands. take a look at mcdonald's performance and how the numbers are down. that's customer visits for two years straight three rough quarters. take a look at how
