was the last member of theon's administration of to vote for war in the spring -- wilson's administration, of the cabinet, to vote for war in the spring. one of the reasons why he waited so long before he would finally vote for war was because he felt it would take an indoor miss and -- an enormous army, casualties as a result of that, to defeat the germans in the field. most of the other cabinet members did not agree with this. they thought the united states would just supply material aid menace, andu-boat that would be enough. daniels said, no, we are going to need an army. he thought one of the most important things the navy did was to get that army into the field. he claimed, now, in my research, i was not able to verify this, but he claimed that no u.s. serviceman or woman lost their life on a u.s. navy vessel while being transported to france. if that is true, that would be a .remendous accomplishment in any case, he did get the army over there. was eventually brought to a conclusion. the post-wart up settlements. daniels played an important role in the post-war settlements in two r

obviously the only administration doesn't want it to get to that point. they haven't wanted any tweaks at all to obamacare fearful that before the republican house and now the republican house and senate will tweak it so severely that it will be unrecognizable. this is the issue at hand. this is why the only administration has been scared to allow it to get to this point but on friday the supreme court said we want to hear the court, we want to hear the case and we're going to make a decision come summer time. >> what does this mean for the 11 million people who rely on obamacare for some form of insurance coverage? >> for some of the people it wouldn't mean anything. but for the people -- about half of them receiving subsidies, it means a lot. it means whether or not you're going to have the federal government help pay for your health care or whether or not you're going to have to get it on your own and have no means to pay for it. so it can mean, if you're subsidized by the federal government, it can mean a lot as to whether or not you can even afford t

we don't net anything out so an under payment of $20 has just as much of a hit on the administrator as the overpayment of $20. >> right, to give it back to you, as we talked about last time you are coming back and telling us again you give us no estimate to that positive or negative. because of the risk is for us, it does matter. we are under reporting how much we actually owe. what you are coming back and telling us is you are not extrapolating out. >> we are extrapolating the error rate. 98.3 percent is the performance from this audit so we would expect from the universal claim that 1.68 percent of the claims are miss paid from a foreman -- financial perspective. >> right, we have no -- >> from dollars what we have to view is work with uhc and run the impact reports and go through that process to determine the true errors. we can estimate it but it tends to be very far off of reality so that's why we are looking at actual claims with uhc, running the impact reports true, once we know the root cause of the error they can run the reports to identify all the claims of the universe. >> r

a quick administrative point. as you head out when you're ready to go for the break, please pick up the thumb drive which has the documents, to which bernie and harry made reference. if you didn't pick up the printed versions, the thumb drives are available at the registration desk. secondly, this is a cle program, and so we have evaluation sheets also available on the materials. so please consider rating our presenters. and i'm very pleased with the presenters, and the quality of the excellent work that they've done. now it's your turn. unfortunately we have only about five minutes. so i welcome your questions. please. and keep confidential your identities so we don't know who is asking the questions. >> i have a question for mr. butler about the usa freedom act that would impose some limits on surveillance. and collection and monitoring. one, are there time limits on record retention? >> yes, so traditionally the time limit has been five years. i believe that the u.s. current version of the usa freedom act retai

you have administrators doing predisbursement audit and doing claim reveals and medical necessity reviews. the lower dollars are automated with the processes. we find that the side of the claim there are different characteristics as a result of the size of the claim. so we felt like we needed to break out and look at payment thresholds. that is why we needed to stratify the different claims in processing and we stratify the position without the sample because we are trying to keep it affordable obviously this audit and this is a good way, we feel like with our confidence level, the results are valid and we also, we mentioned that we break it into five strata categories. we have the ze -- zero pays, those can be any size. they are not going to be overpays because they are zero pays. we have seen $500,000 pay amounts and when we look other categories for strata level four, we find the errors and claims with the small payments are likely less variable than the errors with the claims with the large payments. ? in our sample size with the entire population as accurately as possible with the 22

the administration's. i was a real supporter, but i may be on the big deal. i really felt that the interim deal had to be done. there had to be an interim phased approach that was trust building because of the lack of trust between the parties. the only way you you get to a better place is to test each other out in small things and see if they're passed enough to move along to larger things. the interim deal, huge supporter. you're going to -- you said you don't -- you can't say where it's going to go. it's going to be one of three paths. it's either going to be a deal, then we'll talk about whether it's a good or bad deal. it's going to be no deal, unfortunately, we have to figure out the consequences. or it's going to be some request for additional time to put it together. i think the body will be pretty tough on that to the extent that the toughness of congress is at all lost on the negotiators on the iranian side. you know, i know that the -- our team over there will disabuse them of that notion as you

the administration is one group of people. when do they have time to put lawyers together to find out if we can release people from guantanamo bay when we have got isis over here? you want to talk about rehab? what about the veteran in oklahoma who's addicted to painkillers 'cause the va throws him that? >> great point. we are roar ied about rehabilitating someone to have known killed, tried kill or have killing. no one's there because they accidentally were in the wrong place at the wrong time. they are not getting due process because war doesn't allow for proper evidence transfer. >> all of the studies show that a huge proportion of them go back to becoming al qaeda fighters. >> exactly. >> joey jones, great to see you in person. all the best. >> thank you. >>> time for my take with the firing of secretary of defense chuck hagel, all right foreign policy become crystal clear in the administration is claiming that the two men, obama and hagel mutually agreed it was time for the only republican in owe bam in's cabinet to step

i'm worried that whatever happens with this administration, that's the new floor for the next administration, and it will never regain access or ability to do reporting, our ability to do our job, unless we just constantly fight the battle. that's why i would praise christi and the board of the white house correspondents' association for tapping these issues in a serious way. i'm really worried about -- we have a role in our democracy. and we can't do it if the president and his administration don't recognize that. >> i think that's very effective. and i think where we were able to really make some ground in december, which you were talking about, was when we said, hey, you know, president obama -- the beginning of your administration you said this was going to be the most transparent administration. this is not transparent. it's not transparent for you guys to provide the consent. and i heard from multiple different people that that argument really got under his skin. and i think that sort of led to some changes. so, you know, if we can build on that, i think we might be able to, and what y

i was using democratic sources inside the administration, i was using documents from the obama administration. it wasn't a phony republican scandal. these were in some cases lifelong democrats that were giving information because they thought something had gone drastically wrong. but, again, the light switch went off, you know, as this got to be more and more sensitive story and as the election got closer and as the pushback became stronger and the story was controversialized, oh, republican scandal and conservative reporting, they didn't want those stories even though i thought much more had to be done on that story. so i published a lot on the web. i didn't stop investigating. my producer and i published on the web and kept going. >> host: right. is the idea here that there's this presidential election going on, we don't want to put our thumb on the scale in in any wa? >> guest: you mean cbs? >> host: cbs, right. >> guest: i don't know what conversations they had. they never said anything like that to me. they just thought the story was so well covered, what else was there left to say, you

it went on much too long for the administration's liking.econdly, the administration has got to deal with iran at various levels in syria as well as iraq. we essentially are partners with iran. and the israelis aren't happy about that. so, there's multiple issues that are driving a wedge between us and the prime minister of israel. but to use that language is a huge mistake. when i was in the government you certainly wouldn't express that to a journalist. >> because it becomes very personal. it becomes very personal when you're doing that. it's one thing to sort of separate it and look at a policy objectively as david points out. you know, david, some critics would say benjamin netanyahu is at fault, but after his defense minister was denied access in washington, two days later, he decides that he's going to start building settlements which he had postponed at the request of the american government. is the israeli prime minister basically saying, you don't tell united states what to do. david? >> look, the israeli prime minister now is engag

the administration drug its feet. it drug its feet for about a year, so now the comeuppance is eastern syria and western iraq are in the hands of the islamist radicals, and the question is will we now begin to discuss with others in the region, the steps that might bring them into the effort, including turkey. and they've indicated, look, we want to see a strategic plan, before we get engaged here. we're still, as you and i discussed, we're still not selling to the kurds the arms that they would like to have for their 190,000 soldiers there that are strung out across a 600 mile border, fighting this isis. fighting them without the anti-tank missiles, the artillery, the mortars, the tanks that they need. let's sell them the equipment. let them do the fighting, but let's get the administration off the dime on a plan here that's going to work and is going to have our allies or others in the field pick up the burden of carrying out the struggle. lou: mr. chairman, have you spoken to the complexity or part of the complexit

lincoln add administration repealed? slavery fastened again maryland, new jersey, louisiana, portions now free. this is the only question now. if you are a friend of liberty, you will give your influence and cast your vote for abraham lincoln who, under god, is the only hope of the oppressed. john rock, who would become soon the first black attorney to argue a case before the u.s. supreme court, an appropriate person to be citing here today, told the convention of the national association of colored citizens that there are only two parties. the one headed by lincoln is for freedom and the republic, the other headed for mcclellan is for despotism and slavery. the delegates applauded this statement large and long. a black clergyman in boston. a confiscation law and a proclamation of freedom. another black abolitionist preacher, james w.c. pennington of new york declared his fellow blacks should regard lincoln as our president because he is the only american president who has ever given any attention to colored men as citiz

problem is, we've still got two more years of this administration. when we come back, more time for tehran. the administration agrees to extend nuclear negotiations until june, so, does it give us a real shot at striking a deal or iran seven more months to build a bomb? mr. clean's grandmother was stronger than people twice her size. and that strength inspired his liquid muscle cleaner. it lifts tough dirt so you do less scrubbing. and it's nozzle stops by itself so less is wasted. sure made grandma proud. mr. clean liquid muscle. >>> we don't want just any agreement. we want the right agreement. time and again, from the day that he took office, president obama has been crystal clear that we must ensure that iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. period. >> secretary of state john kerry, indiana, announcing monday that the u.s. and its partners have agrees to extend nuclear talks with iran for months. so, since that announcement, a lot of talk in the media. and by the negotiators, including the french, saying a lot of progress here. that justified t

is this idea of administration ruling out a ground combat role for u.s. troops.nd some of the republicans say you know you shouldn't rule anything out. we may need to really battle these forces in iraq and it may take some additional military force in the future. >> jamie, what is the mood at the pentagon? because after all these u.s. troops that we are talking about even if they are in an advisory role are going in to do a job they train the iraqi military to do and then when push came to shove iraqi military turned and fled. is there a sense that some in the pentagon don't want to get involved in literally cleaning up the mess that iraq has become? >> well, i think general martin dempsey the chairman of joint chiefs has made it pretty clear in the past the united states doesn't want to own this mission. the feeling in the pentagon is yes the u.s. military can send in additional troops and now the situation very well very been there for ten years and could beat back some of the i.s.i.l. forces and retake some of the territory but when they leave they are facing

-- >> the bush administration? i had the same objections you had, fareed. >> but he loved the aggressiveness, he loved the expansionism, he loved the high gem mini. bob's problem with the syrian intervention is that it is 23409 vigorous enough. the problem is not barack obama has invaded syria, he needs to do it more wholeheartedly, lots of troops, more ground forces like we did iraq and that worked out so well. yes, i was one of the people who thought getting rid of saddam hussein was a good idea but $2 trillion, 175,000 troops, 5,000 troops dead and 400,000 iraqis dead and wounded later. i learned something and i don't want to replicate that lesson in syria, the neighboring country. >> you're applauding because it's fun and because it's easy to switch the subject. they would like nothing more to make -- than to make this debate a referendum on the bush administration. you notice how we've somehow slowly worked our way into a conversation about bush. this is not a -- >> wait. >> you can't -- i mean, who are we com

the obama administration has the best attendance record in asia of any u.s. administration. they have made every regional forum, held far more consultant meetings with japan, australia, and korea. the president now attends regularly the east asia summit. in terms of showing up, pretty consistent and a high attendance record. the defense department, although it is in a smaller and shrinking budget, shifting relative resources to the pacific, especially the navy. tpp is clearly being prioritized over the other aspects of the trade agenda. despite questions of implications about the pivot and president obama's leadership, in our survey of strategic thinkers in asia, which we published last spring, it was striking that a significant majority of elites in asia think the u.s. will be the leading power in the region in 10 years. outside of china one or two other countries, a significant majority, particularly among our allies said they want the u.s. to be the leading power in asia in the coming years. there is a lot of opportunity for the rebalance of the pivot to succeed, but ther

he tended to delegate to certain elements in his administration. that meant their views took on outsized importance. >> your research takes you next to the reagan library. what are you planning to do there? >> there are various papers i wanted to look at related to the policy formation. the public liaisons on how the white house should articulate goals. there are also documents related to a number of figures in the office on policy developed as well. >> what are you hoping to do with your findings? >> write a book. that is generally the next stage after you have finished your phd, you turn your monograph into a book. hopefully that will form the basis of a career in [indiscernible] >> do you have an idea on the subject of that book? >> it will be largely on the thesis itself, next version of social conservative, grassroots movements, the reagan administration, and the ongoing legacy of the rights revolution of the 1980's. >> thank you for joining us on american history tv. >> c-span is to ring across the hundred. a look at our recent visit to color

in spite of the administration at document funding in the administration it wasn't a phony republican scandal. in some cases they were lifelong democrats giving administration because they'd gone drastically wrong. but again the lights went off. it got to be more and more sense of history as the election got closer and the pushback was stronger and a phony scandal and conservative reporting. they really didn't want more of the stories even though i thought much more had to be done on the story. so i published a lot on the web. i didn't stop investigating and i published and kept going. >> host: is the idea that there is a presidential election going on and we don't want to put our thumb on the scale in any way? >> guest: i don't know what conversations they said. he never said anything like that they just said they thought that the story had been so well covered and what else was there left to say. they never said anything like that. maybe they had discussions among themselves like that and told themselves that on the but on the other hand they took other actions i would argue that it

rosenburg, you were up there for the obama administration. none of this is true because we are hearing it in the community. that may be the case. all i am asking is to accept that what i am saying could be true. >> the fact that that is not getting into the communities. we work with the families and that the great for us. >> so help us. i have to go face-to-face with them and navigate the confusing system. >> data like that that i don't have the time, i would appreciate the resources if you make sure that is shared. >> you should look at it. there is still a lot of fear in the community. people with long convictions or long ago removals are seen as priorities. it can be somebody with a long record and especially the inrestatements of removal. including those who are reentering the united states. they have previous removals and convictions and you see them in t the data that they shifted. it takes time for the changes to filler in because there was this close collaboration between local law enforcement and immigration that provoked a lot of fe

we begin with breaking news in a major shakeup in the obama administration. defense secretary, chuck hagel, is stepping down. hagel, the only republican on the national security team, is expected to join the president next hour in making that official announcement. hagel and the president have been discussing his departure over the last several weeks. let's get to the pentagon and barbara starr. although the white house is saying it was a mutual decision, you say it's not? >> well, carol, good morning. the white house and officially here at the pentagon the sword it was a mutual decision between the president and secretary hagel for the secretary to go. but in reality, the political reality, several officials now tell us here at cnn is that hagel basically was forced out, pushed out, whatever you want to call it. the secretary and the president had been talking over the last several weeks about what the president wanted to see in the final two years of his administration in national security. they had been talking about it and, you know, once you start talkin

many of them, at the end stages of the bush administration.ink what you are seeing, both in private -- you are hearing in private, you are now seeing in public. i mean, have you had comments in recent days from martin dempsey who has been, i would say, pretty. >> chairman of the joint chiefs. >> chairman of the joint chiefs has been pretty friendly to president obama. in effect a yes man. criticism. even he has been raises some objections and raising the possibility you have to send more troops. you are hearing chuck hagel split from the white house in a a way you haven't heard before. follows on the heels of leon panetta, bob gates. whether you have people like that voicing their frustrations in public. some currently serving. i think it gives you some sense of just how frustrated the uniform military is. because that's making its way up to those leaders. >> meanwhile, a.b., there was frustration also about the veterans healthcare situation that has obviously been going on for quite some time. take a listen. >> i have to propose an action, it

this started with the clinton administration and then the bush administration that we have the extraordinarily successful visits with the agenda that works across every issue of importance to us with india to carry forward. then to work together in the months ahead. we have seen countries make fundamentally important decisions about macroeconomic policies to improve governance to deal with security challenges and there is a lot to work with see you are right we should not lose sight of the good news especially if we could major not only will that consolidates the serve as the model of lessons learned inspiration for other places >> and one other brief point to see if there's an additional round one of the things we have been struck by is american and four policy around the east tour west access worried about the soviet union even with the policy with the monroe doctrine we engage in activities. the concern is the crisis the undocumented kids come in big numbers in then the attention moves away but the reality of the trade partner news on the east west access this is a more north-south in east-

i don't know if people will ever have faith in this administration or any subsequent administration, but why was it so important for them to pass this law? >> you know, one thing that you notice if you watch some of these jonathan gruber videos, he'll make wisecracks about how stupid the american people are and the crowd laughs. it's kind of like an inside joke. and that's because in the progressive left-wing community, it's taken for granted that you can't trust average americans to control their own health care dollars. because if the average americans controlled their health care dollars according to the left, they would make bad decisions. that's why we, the experts and the government have to make the decisions for you. so of course you lie, of course you make things confusing because you expect that that's the only way to get things done if you believe the american people are stupid and have bad motives. >> but avik, when you say that's the only way to get things done, why did they need this done? >> well, they philosophically believe that the health care system won't work unles

so we are going to release the administration witness, secretary cohen, at noon. we will convene the second panel at that time. then the hearing will be gavelled down at 1:00. please know this will be our first hearing on this vitally important topic. it will not be our last. so members who don't have an opportunity to ask questions, if need be, we can call the witnesses back in the future. and at least for those on the republican side of the aisle, once we have the second panel begun, wherever we last left in the cue, those who didn't have an opportunity to ask questions, we'll start with you on the second panel. i now wish to recognize myself for one minute for an opening statement. the 9/11 commission estimated that al qaeda's brutal evil attack on 9/11 cost the terrorist half a million dollars. so terrorists were able to murder 3,000 of our fellow countrymen and inflict immeasurable suffering upon our nation. today we face another terrorist enemy for which a half a million dollars appears to be pocket change. organization that reportedly raises between $1 and

thus far this administration has fallen well short. that's the statement released by house speaker john boehner. but as it relates to isis or isil, mark, the administration was clear this would not be a one, two, or 30 day campaign. they saw it as a couple of years. fighting the forces on the ground and trying to secure that region. >> tamron, this is the big explanation here. and chris was alluding to it. chuck hagel when he was announced to be defense secretary was seen as a person who is going to draw down the iraq and afghanistan wars and manage the cuts in military spending. and who better to have a former combat vietnam veteran to be able to lead that. someone who had relationships at the united states senate who is well known on capitol hill given he was a former u.s. senator. now all of a sudden two years later the situation is drastically different. you're fighting isis. there is whether or not the united states gets in syria. as ayman was alluding to, do situations in iran starten to heighten. this is a much different terrain

as you know, the administration took sanctions of its own. and we would look forward to working with you to go further. i think there's still an opportunity to bring the opposition on to the commission that has congress do that before it gets pushed to the supreme court where, of course, nothing will happen. i think that's worth a shot and i'd like to work, if confirmd, with you on that. he needs oil at about $85 a barrel and it's, of course, lower than that, to make good on his con trakt. last thing i'll say on this, my cousin went to school with leopola lopez. so i hear from her regularly about his status in order to help him. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i, too, want to share compelling stories of your family and, again, for your desire to look this way. there has been some concern about the president's desire, it seems, to have people that are very close to him and various positions and to be very insular. and, while your role in your current job is one to champion the administration's policies, as you mentioned in your opening statements,

i think we're kicking this down to the next administration, it seems to me. i hate to be that cynical but nothing makes any sense. we should be all in helping those local forces and we're not. we just have teams that are out with 12 brigades and they can't go forward with the lead battalions when they get in a fight. makes no sense. >> and the generals right now in the pentagon, earlier in this broadcast i gave general dempsey great credit for saying those troops coming back from west africa are going to get 21 days, not ten, and they will not be -- anyway, secretary of defense hagel made it pretty clear he felt that was a little unfair to be that straightforward about a policy in defense of the troops. your thoughts? >> oh, i absolutely agree. this is about protecting the soldiers' families, protecting their fellow teammates who are back at those bases they are returning to. it is absolutely a must to do something like that. i think it should be realistically a national policy, not just the military's policy, for the health care professionals that are return

he calls him snobbish, but how reflective are his comments of the intent of the administration? and how much are americans going to read into it and have a real distaste for the aca bases on this. >> it is total silly season. the less effective they will be in getting the types of changes they want to see through the law. this was debated every issue talked about was debated myself, and tevi believe. and many many other people, we talks about the transfer to young and old, we talks at a locket of thing i work in the immaterial ployier community, so what we learned as an mit professor is an elite snob that's not learning anything at all. >> you agree, it doesn't matter? >> i don't think it matters that much, i think the consequence of the silly season, which is right to characterize it that way, is there are a series of challenges next year, democrats and republicans. in addressing marts oif law that need to be revisited. to the extent that is difficult to do, when people are trying to relitigate what somebody said or didn't say four years ago, whether somebody was central or not

she served in national security posts in the nixon and ford and reagan administration. glad you are here and welcome to the special edition of the threats we face. we'll jump in to it. kt, if you were to assess america's position in relation to national security, give us a grade a to f. >> we could be a a but we are a c- minus hovering to a d. >> what is the position. >> we are sucked in the last years in wars in wars and propping up dictators that don't matter and who don't like us. the better thing would be to restore america's vitality through energy and fraking and also froe focus on protecting the home land missile defense and home land with a better economy and building up america's defenses so that no one picks a fight with us and look at the threats. >> pete i saw you and the general nodding your head. are we better prepared than we were, let's just say six years ago when the administration took office? >> i don't think we are. the plates have shifted over the last six years and in the meantime, you have a disinterested president and 50 time doesn't believe that

we'll take the president's request, the administration's and sift through it. we will be supplying funding, you know, for this, but not, i don't think at that level. >> you know, it occurred to me too, we listen to the world wealth organization, the united nations prattle on about crises, telling us what's happening in sierra leone, in guinea, in liberia, and some of our own doctors, including tom frieden at the cdc were warning us what was coming. we were waiting on basically the world health organization and the u.n. steak,ed we're the ones doing the work now, cleaning it up, and fixing it. why is the united states so hesitant to take care. if we're going to spend this money and take risk and put our men and women at risk why, do we want to give the credit to the united nations and to the world health organization, when we could be doing ourselves a lot of good so people know where the help truly does originate? >> lou, we should have stepped in much earlier, when this thing was smoldering before it erupted into fire. it's interesting, it doesn't matter what

the number of senior officials who had a cozy administration with the past administrations feel that way. let's look at japan, if i may, since you brought it up. 25% under bush trust the u.s. president. 60% under barack obama. you can make these kind of, you know, you can pull these arguments out of your hat where you say the world has lost faith in obama. we have good data on this. the real question, and you asked a wonderful question. >> what would you like to see instead. we know the one administration bob did not have many objections to was the bush administration. >> i had the same objections you had. bob's problem is that it is not vigorous enough. he needs to do it more wholeheartedly, with lots of troops, maybe ground forces like we did in iraq. and that worked out so well. yes, i was one of the people that originally thought getting rid of hussein was a good idea. i learned something and i don't want to replicate that in syria: >> you're applauding because it's easy to switch the subject and fun. >> we have 43 predecessors to barack obama. surely you can find a george h.w. b
