times administration and the obama administration and i think during the bush administration most ofscussion was defined to the role of foreign affairs in which questions about executive power are quite different. we can have legitimate debates about what the scope of this power those power should be but i think the executive power most people would recognize as different when it's focused outside of our times our borders and inside of our borders and to me the more inches in question with this administration has times has been the must take overreach particularly in need misread of contacts. .. . >> n deadline is the consumer protection in financial peril that is an independent industry cannot be fired by the president it is not subject to the appropriations power as they are taking a number of actions that are outside of the public visibility for instance they are gathering financial records or credit-card records of hundreds of millions of americans with no discussion that than i could find and knows scrutiny or accountability for what these agencies are doing because you can see

there have been rumors that have come out of the administration -- i've actually talked to administrationfficials who don't know where those rumors are coming from and are somewhat disconcerted about it. i talked to adam zubin last night who was very reassuring that we are doing nothing to accommodate dollar transactions. the president seemed to state that on friday. and yet secretary kerry was on the television this morning acting as if we were doing? . what is going on relative to us accommodating their ability to use dollars in their transactions? >> thank you very much for the question. it's an important one. as you noted it's gathered a fair bit of media buzz. and this is ultimately a treasury concern because they're the ones that do general licensing and adam zubin is a great person to talk to on this. let me tell you what i know at this point which is that the rumors and news that has appeared in the press that the u.s. is preparing to reinstate a u-turn authorization or to allow iran access to the u.s. financial are not true. >> why would secretary kerry have said the things he sa

the next administration is going to have to address how much they are the next administration is going to have to address how much they are worth to figure out how much they are going to spend. and want to remind you, even though you have asked the panel to talk about cost, you are really talking about worth. [applause] andy: you are right. this is about what we need. heartened by the comments -- what can d obama administration still due to push through the tapes in the next seven months? that is a term that president obama uses frequently. there is a lot he can do. first, what i call the low hanging fruit. not leaving ms for your successors. then, i have some longer things that the administration can work , presidenttainly obama can leave the foundation for that. first, i want to do is rarely done and that is take credit for what he obama administration has secure ensure safe and nuclear deterrent. i was part of that, and am very proud of what we did. i think the neglect of the previous decade has been reversed. we have, in full production, the warhead. that program will be finished i

administration. but it is worth looking a little bit at what the bush administration did to provide some context for what follows. the bush administration certainly had the ability to use the armed drones. you've seen early on that capability was present. but in pakistan, which was the most likely place to use them where we couldn't go in on the ground, they were used very intermittently in the early years of the bush administration. it wasn't really until 2008 that the bush administration decided it's going to step up the drone campaign because there's a rising al-qaeda threat perceived in that country. so in the second half of 2008, president bush authorizes large scale use of drone missiles for the first time in pakistan. and we know that at least nine senior al-qaeda figures were killed in pakistan during that time period. is so pretty effective in that time x. we look back on this, this is really of the golden era of the drone. when president obama comes in, he learns of some of the details abou

thank you and with that i will now turn this over to acting administrator colvin. >> thank you, administrator slavitt. good morning. when franklin roosevelt signed the social security act 81 years ago, he envisioned social security as a bold new way to provide economic security to american workers and families through broad social insurance protections. with the support of lawmakers, scholars, advocates and business leaders over the years, social security is still evolving to fulfill fdr's vision. social securitition guaranteed income protection is the foundation of retirement security for almost all of the nation's workers and families. it's also the main source of life insurance and disability protection for working families. few government agencies touch as many lives as we do at the social security administration. fdr envisioned social security as an earned benefit. workers pay for it through deductions from their paychecks. this year employees pay 6.2% of their earnings up to a cap of $118,500 and employers pay a matching amount. the money goes to the social security trust fund and is sp

now, i think that this administration and any administration is -- there is no presidential administration that ever has or ever will step aside that the president has the authority to decline to enforce law that he believes to be unconstitutional. the supreme court has repeatedly authorized the president to do that when the president has done it, the congress has acted -- the court has asked whether he was right or wrong, not said that it was -- on the merits of the client. >> most recently in the -- >> right. >> i think this is where i think part of me want to jump in, i guess it's a relatively respectful of the rule of law position to do what this president did with the defense of marriage act. when there were those that said if you believe its unconstitutional, you want to simply decline to enforce it. the president said, that would mean that i am unilaterally determining the issue. but if i enforce it, the issue will be brought in court because someone like her will be bringing the lawsuit, but i am directing, you know, or acknowledging that the attorney general and the solicitor gene

administration trying to hide the reality. is the administration, the white house trying to hide the true cost of obama care, rich? >> well, they were doing that from the very beginning. don't forget that jonathan gruber, the m.i.t. researcher, the architect of obama care admitted the administration has to lie about the numbers in order to get this thing through congress. so, it's always been flawed. and the administration has known it. >> yeah, too rich's point, mike, jonathan gruber said the american people are too quote stupid. to really see what's going on with obama care. what do you think? >> and despite what mark says, my buddy, i think takes me a little too evil. i don't want people sleeping under bridges. we could have covered the cost of people that don't have insurance without forcing people like me to buy you know, tanning salon insurance or insurance for when i get pregnant. >> but we haven't and the fact is that the private sector has failed, so we have the public sector. >> mark, you're making the private sector

administration. it is worth looking a little bit at what the bush administration did to provide some context for what follows. the bush administration certainly have the ability to use the armed drones, you seen early on the capability was present.tan, whi in pakistan which was the most likely place to use them whereec we cannot go in on the ground they were used intermittently in the earlier use of the bush administration. it wasn't until 2008 that the bush administration decided it's going to going to step up the drone campaign because there is a rising al qaeda threat perceived in that country. in the second half of 2008 president bush authorizes large-scale use of drones missiles for the first time in pakistan.. we know that at least nine senior al qaeda figures werest killed in pakistan during that time period. so it was pretty effective at that time and we look back on this and this was really the golden era of the drone. when president obama comes in he learns of the detail of the program and

this is the economy of this administration. now what's still interesting is seven and a half years after they took office, with their policies, where they promised 4% g.d.p. growth, strong job growth, they're still looking in the rear-view mirror. and when they are shown some of these numbers, they point fingers at the people who came before them. after nearly two terms in office. well, this is the president's economy. he owns it. he should take responsibility for it. and he should start talking about it, and instituting policies that start to change this. but you don't hear him do that. or his administration. you don't hear him tout their record. they start to focus on this echo chamber. fortunately, mr. president, others in the public eye are more forthcoming. we are starting to talk about it more on the senate floor. i wish my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would come out and talk about it a little bit. but certainly, as i mentioned, former senator clinton was talking about it and her husband, former president bil

the carter administration lives in the world of make-believe. every day, drawing up a response to that day's problems, troubles, regardless of what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow. but you and i live in a real world where disasters are overtaking our nation without any real response from washington. this is make-believe, self-deceit and -- above all -- transparent hypocrisy. for example -- [applause] reagan: mr. carter says he supports the volunteer army, but he lets military pay and benefits slip so low that many of our enlisted personnel are actually eligible for food stamps. re-enlistment rates drop and, just recently, after he fought all week against a proposal to -- a proposed pay increase for our men and women in uniform, he helicoptered to our carrier, the u.s.s. nimitz, which was returning from long months of duty in the indian ocean, and told that crew that he advocated better pay for them and their comrades. where does he really stand, now that he's back on shore?

for the first four months of the ford administration. he was undergoing confirmation proceedings before the house and the senate, so he was not able to participate at the ground floor of the planning in the early stages of before administration. by the time he came into the administration, relationships had already been formed, patterns have been set, it was too late. the change in the vice presidency really came with jimmy carter and walter mondale in 1977 and this was the creation of what i call the white house vice presidency governor carter thought of himself as a fiduciary for the american people. as a businessman, he thought the vice presidency had been a wasted asset, that it was a shame to have a senior official and not to be putting into use. he also thought it was immoral for a vice president not to be engaged and prepared. he was haunted by the experience of president truman not having been included in discussions during the roosevelt presidency. governor carter security nomination early on, actually it was early june of 1976,

mccain: that at the same time, this administration, this president and his administration was saying, that we can't get a status of force agreement with the iraqi government. that has to go through the parliament. is there any mention today of this same president who says that it's absolutely necessary for us to have a status of force agreement as we incrementally increase our troop strength in iraq? mr. graham: we have over 4,000 troops. they're playing with the numbers again. i know this. there are over 5,000 troops. about a thousand are off the books. they're there. they're just not being counted. this insist sanity desire by the president to say we're not in combat offends me. tell me to the family of the navy seal that was killed. they don't want to admit we're in combat because we're at war. they don't want to admit we're at war because this guy in orlando was certainly at war with us. we have a presence in iraq and isn't it unusual that no one is talking about we need approval from the iraqi government now? this was never the problem. the problem was that president obama sincer

lou: a million more muslims have bond moved into the country for this administration.ackgrounds many of them have been scrubbed, that is scheduled falsifying, done so as direct order of this administration. >> only people that are you can properly vilify, if you are in the obama administration, are trump supporters. or people who believe that border should be enforce or tea party people. but you can't ever admit the truth about what is happening with islam, because the president went all over the world, proclaiming that you know, islam is a religion of peace, there no, you know we have to worry about islam phobia and apologizing for america. good muslims in united states who are law abiding people, and they vote for both parties, they know what is happened to their own community, they get it. i have interviewed them on my show, the president does not get it and loretta lynch does not get it. lou: meanwhile the republicans, if you want to call them that, i mean, paul ryan, is a man on some sort of personal jihad, and he selected the wrong person, a member of his own par

yet what does the administration say? what does hillary clinton say? who do the senate democrats say? let the refugees in even though isis is telling us they're going to use those refugees to send terrorists here to come and murder us. this transcends mere partisan disagreement. this is loon si. -- luancy. we know the paris attack was carried out in part by people who came in using the refugee program, taking advantage of the refugee program. indeed earlier this year, january 6, 2016, omar is a heed ah listen harden a palestinian been in iraq who entered the united states as a refugee in 2009 was charged with attempting to provide support and he wanted to set off bombs using cell phone detonators at two malls at my hometown of houston, texas. this is a refugee who came from iraq and yet do you hear the administration saying this is a dangerous world. jihadists are attempting to kill us. we have to keep us safe. they don't say that. the legislation i've introduced which i would urge this body to take up would impose a thre

the administration threatened by that.surance company makes it more difficult for the exchanges. >> and makes a bad headline. it also reflects the obama administration in general. they have been challenging and obama will not give an executive order saying that we will step up anti-trust enforcement. every administration at the very last goes there as many regulations as they can do. the obama administration is doing not now. it will not just be an obama related fields. we will see a lot of anti-trust. >> the biggest is what we do not see. a lack of competitors that are able to eat a lunch of the big fat monopolistic companies. we have a crisis in this company. having to do with obamacare. trish: a lot of unintended consequences. they have created this environment themselves. good to see you. fox business will have special live coverage all night long on thursday as the britons head to the polls to vote on whether or not to stay in the european union or whether or not they need to get out. the market is up on expectations

the next administration will have to lead on this. this is not something that will just be about nice words. it will have to take on a series of tough and relentless actions. that is yet another reason why the choice we have in front of us over the next year in terms of a new administration is so important. thanks so much for your time. >> you have been one of the most articulate voices on this deal, in its most strictest terms, but the broader recognition that the deal does not address the real challenge that iran poses. recently you wrote in a wall street journal op-ed that the iran we have long known, hostile, expansionist, violent, is a life and well and is deemed -- and is dangerous as ever. can you speak to how you see the early phase of the implementation going, and the broader challenge the region perceives from iran? >> i want to thank brookings from having me tonight. derek andagree with that this report is the most objective and thoughtful on the iran deal i have seen so far. thank you to richard and bob for all the hard wo

royce: this goes back to the original blunder by the administration. at the point in time with the election was stalled and people u.s.an work crying out for engagement, the polling shows that two thirds of the people want a western-style democracy without a theocracy. instead, the administration made the decision to engage with the ayatollah, the decision to go forward and negotiate, and in so doing, empowered and enabled that revolutionary regime, in many ways. and, subsequently, has bought into the idea that they cannot offend the iranian regime. we have seen that in a whole slew of decision-making, giving them access to the dollar, the heavy water subsidy, and so forth. you also see it in the policy decisions of iran and exerting more influence in baghdad. when we pulled out of baghdad, the iranians moved in. >> doesn't that go back to the malacki?or m and we in congress pushed on that issue. but the situation that you have today is one in which you around is dictating -- iran is dictating the current. to reach out to the christians, no, comes the

administration and ask all americans and anyone listening in today how the obama administration's foreign policies have met the goals of the greatest possible security, the greatest possible freedom and improving our standing in the world. and i just think that in far too many cases, too many parts of the world, the only honest conclusion is that the policies of the obama administration have actually failed. now, i'm not the only one that thinks so. i found it very interesting when you take a look at former president jimmy carter what he has to say when he was asked about this. he said this about president obama. he said -- "i can't think of many nations in the world where we, we the united states, have a better relationship now than we did when he, president obama, took over." he went on to say that the united states influence and prestige and respect -- and we think about this, influence, prestige and respect in the world is probably lower now than it was six or seven years ago. this is a former president of the united states, a democrat president of the united states, jimmy carter. so

the obama administration is appealing but he won.ryan has done no such thing in his nearly eight months as speaker. what he has done is with so little experience announced in his arrogant view that he's a much better speaker than a man who got in the job. ryan is not so easy to regard highly except in his own mind of course yet here he is already threatening to sue the presumptive nominee over his proposal to temporarily banned immigration in countries of the history of terrorism against his country and his motive, simply to protect american lives. but not a peep from the speaker on the current surge of illegal immigration and suspected potential terrorist crossing our southern border. the speaker has a penchant for contradiction and doubletalk. for example and claiming he won't divide the party over trump. >> this is a very strange situation. this is a unique nominee but i feel as a responsibility institutionally as speaker of the house that i should not -- because that will definitely knock us out of the white house. lou: i really

the next administration will inherit this set of problems that previous administrations have not been able to appreciably dampen. and i think the primary challenges are going to continue to be nuclear security. i would argue for more of a focus on crisis escalation, given that that is where there is a significant chance of a nuclear weapon being used. certainly, the obama administration did a lot on nuclear security, and on several occasions has praised the steps pakistan has taken in that regard. i think there are more questions and less focus that have been given to india's nuclear security practices. if you look at how the security competition might affect nuclear security, more weapons, greater numbers of fissile material, more transportation of these things, those exacerbate the weak links and the security archit architecture. this escalation is a difficult problem to get in front of. most of the u.s. effort over the years has been reactive. again, technology added materials, capabilities, will make future crises likely to speed up. make it harder to intervene. so i think that is

and the real question of the administration's credibility and that is hillary clinton's weakness. they have questions about her truthfulness and credibility and the report and details in it raise questions about that. and is the latest poll it shows trump beating hillary clinton by 16 percent on whether the candidate is honest and straightforward. you wrote a piece on sunday on the national journal and you drew comparison between great britain's discussion to leave the european youn. does the voters consider it a referundum on the country. trump made an elitist case against hillary clinton this week. he charged that insiders like clinton wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power and in the money. he goes after her biggest weakness. he's unable to sustain the argument on his own without a teleprompter. >> hillary clinton is the worst possible candidate given the political environment we are in. it is the republican and democrat party. but, the benefit she has this presidential election is not a referundum. it is a choice between two candidates and trump hasn't been ab

the administration's offered one. asking you for solutions. >> we fortunately have on our web page over 100 individual provisions not that we have come up with but that members of congress have. and i gave you a couple of copies. all your staff have ready access to this. well over 100 different provisions that effect social security in almost every way you can imagine. so, what we really need is for a collective judgment to get together and pick which of these different provisions we want. >>. >> you're waist deep in the swamp. >> i want to go back to what the chairman started with and a question about mr. blahaus being on the commission and a question came up with senator schumer, warren and senator whitehouse, something that says it's kind of curious -- let me see how they said it. i'm more or less that it was curious. there was curiously incorporated number of assumptions. and it had to do with mr mr. blahaus. there's nothing he's done in that time period that would make you think this is politically motivated and

in fact the administration has not done so because of those who engage in their advisory circles like the council on islamic relations which is not supposed to engage the government but does because of its influence and connection to, i would say, the lobby in washington. i asked that any official use on the following terms that i discussed be immediately lifted. any apparatus unable or unwilling to connect the dots between nine island and violent ideologies is leaving us bear and will miss the signs of radicalization. fort hood, boston marathon, san bernardino and likely orlando will show that and everyone in every one of these cases it is abundantly obvious that if they were honed in on the continuum of political islam that ultimately they would have had these individuals on their radar, but they didn't because they are waiting for that final moment when they become violent i want to end with some recommendations. we need to stop hiding behind offending the oic in their regime which put muslims like me in prison every day. the u.s. government and public discourse must include a broa

i could name dozens of former administrators, assistant administrators, associate administrators and chief counsel who have gone to work for the industry as well as staff within the individual departments of the agency. and those people are the ones -- i mean, how can you adequately represent the public when you're looking forward to your next b job -- which is probably going to pay a lot more than your present job -- knowing that your next job is going to be an industry job? that is just simply wrong. and i'm not running for president but if i were, i would sure close that resolvivolving . it's just absolutely terrible. just give you by the way just an example. here's what the center for auto safety does, our work on. we -- when i became the director we could afford a 30-second commercial in the super bowl. that's what the auto companies talk about. how many commercials they get on the super bowl. today we're down to less than five seconds of a commercial of a super bowl ad, so we're looking at a budget of what we do of less than a half a million dollars a year. so, we do a lot on a

signed by the district engineer, with special cases or regional administrator. how can you see that is applying to special case determinations? >> final determinations were already made referring to it as referring to this moa which refers to special case determinations. >> pesticides the special case and what is not and tells you what happens, i cannot tell you what talks about only special cases. >> if the memorandum is read that way i don't think it reflects current government understanding of the core and epa. >> a case where the government, there is a negative change. any situation has pre-memorandum, post memorandum where you actually take the army court's determination anyway. >> i don't know that it has ever happened as i don't want to suggest -- >> you have never done it? that is not the second problem? >> in massachusetts the practice of the president had always been to transmit the figures and do the apportionment in accordance with figures by the secretary of commerce but the court said there is no legally binding obligation on the president to do th

caller, thatthe people dropped the ball during the previous administration, the bush administration. you have to say who are those people who dropped the ball. forpeople responsible overseeing the banks and those financial institutions, all the regulators, these are actually in the banks on a daily basis. you have to ask the question, where were the regulators? how come they did not catch these problems beforehand? the regulators dropped the ball, but then you had dodd-frank come along and basically said to these regulators who did a lousy job, even though you did a lousy job, we will give you more authority and money and hope that you do a better job next time. of course we are seeing the results that these failed regulators of the past are failed regulators, now. host: talking about era 'suldrons -- eric holden comments. -- eric holder's comments. you are quick, as far as finding that quote. he made the quote, he tried to walk it back, but here we are and the attorney general's office did not arrest anyone. where was eric holder during all of this? sally in new york, go ahead. call

the judge talked about the administration and its reluctance to talk about radical islam. this of course lends creed dense to the idea this was driven by radical islam and an idea to appease or help isis' fight against america. >> well, charles, what it certainly shows is when a little pressure is applied, it's amazing what sunshine can do for the administration. when it comes to transparency. so it was really good to see they're finally coming out. as tragic as it may be, and even though some of the families may be hurt by it, it is the right of americans to know what this individual said before he went on this rampage as a terrorist, as a radical islamic terrorist and killed those people in that orlando nightclub. we have to know what we're up against as a nation. >> president obama spent last week really taking a couple of opportunities, one in on op-ed and then when we went to sew the victims' families, turn that into a stump speech and attempting to make the narrative about gun control and dismissing the notion that radical islam has anything to do with this. >> you'r

this is why we need to use the remaining months of this administration to prepare the next administrationdless of party to deal with the news it's about to inherit. that's what we're doing here on the floor right now. the defense bill before us will modernize our military and provide our troops with more of the tools that they need to confront the threats we face. it will help prepare our next commander in chief to confront the complex challenges of today and of tomorrow. it's serious policy, policy that will keep our country safe and after years of this administration spend and -- spin and failures, that's what our people deserve. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. reid: i just left my welcome to washington which i've been having for many, many years. had about 85 people from nevada, my constituents, our constituents. and they asked me what i'd done in the senate that will i remember. so i told them a few things. they also asked me did i have a regret, and i do. and, mr. president, it takes a lot of gall for me friend, the republican leader, to tal
