lou: critics accuse the obama ministration of trying to deceive congress by reid branding a controversialtion job that congress explicitly voted tuesday fund last year immigration and customs enforcement created a public advocacy position for legal and illegal at immigrants they said they read using taxpayer money but instead of eliminating the post the obama administration changed the name of that position and kept the same person in place and in charge and kept the job description exactly the same but defense is a community already reached remains a necessary function of the agency not exactly a response. joining us now is the "a team" in july, let's start with you what is your reaction? that is subterfuge and fog. >> is washington d.c.. i am not surprised with the administration. i wish this person would be a lobbyist to congress for people who are breaking though law so they are lobbying on behalf of criminals. >> i second that emotion but the working habits of the bombing administration anytime they are sorted the checks and balances go out the window they think whenever they are doi

investigative journalist report on the decisions made by the bush and ministration bolling september 11th. and former new york city mayor >> there is chapter in the book that is entitled weddings are discretionary, funerals are necessary. that was a lesson my father taught me. my father used to say to me, people don't need you at their wedding. it's nice to go. it's a big, juries occasion, but everyone goes. if you can't go, okay. but you better go to the funeral. that is what people really need you. that is and people really need to feel that there are a lot of people that assuring a loss. the person the loss was truly important and it reaffirms the importance of that person's life and the importance of the person left behind. wrote that out of context of the experience of all of the funerals and wakes that i went to as the mayor of the city of new york for police officers and firefighters and rescue workers and people who work for the city i never realized the importance of that lesson of the magnitude of it until after the horrible events of september 11th. now on book tv the stor

this is ministration has failed to show me the direct threat to the united states of america how to. paint obama. and to what. i ask the. we know what's at stake here is there a way to resolve this. joining me for tonight's big picture politics panel are marc harrold libertarian commentator and turnings zoe carpenter porter at the nation magazine's d.c. bureau and he newsom member of the national advisory council for the project twenty one black leadership network and let's get to it let's start with syria on monday syrian authorities yesterday they came out and said that they would go along with this russian program and really to call it the russian plan is almost a mistake i think because it was it was john kerry who proposed this in response to reporters' questions and and but any of the russians jumped out syrians went along now we discover that the president actually discussed this with president putin a week ago so maybe this isn't such you know maybe even the question was planted who knows i mean i just i was going to play out i'm just curious your thoughts each of your though

blog post tells those who can conduct acts of violence are free the toast of the town because the ministration is paralyzed by their own policy with respect to right to cuba with their own posse would start to work on terror which you see is the level of the pacific that is incredible i am posada. in general. you know if his conscience bothered him from his life as. you know a military. and he said no that he slept like a baby we were fighting again the united state again got through again and nothing away again and grossly i mean roger we are fighting a body what do you call a person who fights against what do you call that. who fight. but i mean is that a freedom fighter in your brain that you fighting counsel you out of fear. front i welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who was suppressing oppressing the people. and i'm glad you didn't shoot me you could of. this if you how did you ever as might be here you are you keep your dog and the little one is calm now you do recall even though you are talking to their good side and. you know you are going

in the first few months, it ministration has set a goal to make sure we get a couple million young peopleigned up, and that is not saying only young people will sign u but healthy people get in there to balance out the cost. by the time we get to january, when the system for individuals is actually open for business, we will know if they signed up. what we will also know, early indicators, is whether enroll america, which is the offshoot of the president's grassroots campaign machine, if they are having any success. they are working very hard out there. you have a history of getting people to sign up for things to read in that cas-- things. in that case, it was a voting. in this case it is health care, but on policy they have not been effective, so we will see if they can pull this off. >> we will know in one way, colby king, if it is called obamacare one year from now. it'll be called a government >>ogram if it is successful. get past the semantics. this will be a difficult rollout. a lot of the companies are taking advantage of this law to make changes on their own, so the industry itse

unfortunately due to add ministrative and financial challenge this will not be implemented. the jury understand that you are looking to fund and target all roadway users and the jury request that you find cost-effective ways to reach out to all users and the share the road message and urges the mayor to prioritize it's funding. lastly the jury has followed up with the 2009-2010 recommendation that the city establish a traveng school for bicyclist. at the time the report was written, the jury was told that the city would launch a diverse bicycle program this past summer. the jury has learned this program will not be established if the foreseeable future. it is due to primarily due to procedural difficulties with state superior court citation processes. we understand this program has been placed on hold but would like to be implemented once feasible. as the city encourages bicycling for residents, it must ensure safety for all users. the city must insert safety goals. let us not wait until the next bicycle related accident makes headlines. let's plan, prioritize and do more no

. >> fast forward to a different time, country, and it ministration, that the disconnect remains. a cnn poll released shows that seven out of 10 americans think airstrikes will not achieve significant goals or be in american interests. >> why would you put down a regime where a terrorist group as the rule of a country? >> at president obama move forward without the american public on board. >> we have to make some decisions about what you believe is right for america, and that is the same for me as president of the united states. there are a whole bunch of decisions that i make that are unpopular, as you know. >> if they do not listen to the people, then excuse me, there is no democracy anywhere. >> only 33% of americans agree that such an intervention would be an effective deterrent. >> that is ridiculous. you want to send a message by killing more people? >> another talking point is that american credibility would decrease. some believe we will suffer significant blowback with intervention in syria. >> all it will do is further drive hatred towards the united states by acting so

hundred million and over eighteen hundred banks and more than three hundred during the clinton ministration particularly during the administration's last two years it was a huge push to deregulate the banks and take away the rules and policies that had made banking a nice boring part of america's business infrastructure then came a push to move them away from an infrastructure role of facilitating commerce all the other role of actually being participants in american commerce in the way months of the clinton presidency phil gramm is commodity futures modernization act became law and that act let banks for the first time participate in commodity markets and even create for themselves completely unregulated commodities and commodity markets that had never before existed in november of one thousand nine hundred nine not just months before the commodity futures modernization act became law the gramm leach bliley act became the law of the land graham lee's bliley essentially gutted the glass steagall act of one nine hundred thirty three by removing barriers in the banking business that had previ

and conspiracy but what the egyptian media is saying that he got money from the american ministration to give sanaa a way to hamas or they had a truce to this ok as as a as an official but frankly even as somebody in the public domain before being an official i never comment on court cases before they are concluded the reason being it's the court has to judge whether the evidence is there or not anybody could make an accusation against anyone to the general substantiates the evidence to see if there's enough evidence to take it seriously if he does it then goes to the court that determines innocence or guilt. we did that by the way with the accusations related to the former president obama took. and his his former officials as well and in the first round of these accusations. most of the courts found them guilty in the appeal process some of the courts found some of the members innocent and others killed so our legal process which takes time. is i think a a a a a. is a separate legal process independent from from the government and it will take its decisions based on the evidence so i

to be working in some seriousness with russia to try and make this proposal work you know the ministration is really completely checkmated in syria as it is if this diplomatic proposal does get some traction and details are able to be worked out that lets some version of it move forward i think the critical achievement here from a russian perspective from many of the perspective of many other players other critical achievement here is you've got an administration that was operating more and more outside the bounds of international law you've actually now potentially got them bound into a legal international framework for dealing with the syrian conflict and i think back could have a lot of implications on the ground and diplomatically moving forward manner in tel aviv let's go to you let's say there is an agreement without stop obama under some circumstances still do attack syria and if that is the case would you do you think it's a good idea. well with everything the devil's in the details peter we need to know what's in the in the deal in terms of what sort of inspections will be subject

a congress that doesn't get together on anything what do you how do you assess overall this of ministration. well overall i think president obama's done a good job i supported him i supported his re-election i want an immigration bill he's doing everything he can i like what he did with health care the economy i want to see some improvement you know there are some areas where i would have wanted him to be bolder. but in general i believe that he's in tune with the country i believe that the the american people like him but at the same time you know he's got this congress this gridlock this mentality in washington of intense partisanship and it's very hard for him to get an agenda of energy reform and budget issues and avoid sequenced ration when you've got the tea party and you've got some part of the electorate represented by very conservative individuals that want to defeat him wanted to fail and i worry about that when i was in congress we disagreed but we have ventura we got things done who are energy secretary need to opinion where do you stand on this controversial keystone pipeline.

grayson said they're being given intelligence briefings without any hard evidence to support of ministrations claims that the syrian leader has ordered the use of chemical weapons here's another caviar members of congress are. not allowed to discuss the classified hearings so we have no way of knowing what the administration has actually provided as evidence lawmakers are unable to discuss the evidence the classified evidence even among themselves unless they are inside an approved reading room and as congressman grayson says questioning the official account of events is quote actively discouraged is that the obama administration is doing what it calls flooding the field in other words trying to monopolize the conversation dominate the discourse and provide only information in favor of an attack to members of congress and to the public i think that's unfortunate there's always two sides to the story when you talk about war and peace the public and congress definitely here deserve to hear about both sides the president's aides are saying that he will listen to congress the president himself is

to hear the argument of why we need to strike syria and still today they said ministration has failed to show me the direct threat to the united states of america the question is what's best for us what's best for americans we are not under attack none of our allies are under attack there is a reason why we call the department of defense the department of defense it's meant to attempt to defend us and our allies against attacks that hasn't happened yet we have absolutely no guarantee it won't expand no guarantee of peace in the region a lot of american money spent some american blood maybe american lives and i'm very concerned we have no guarantees that we'll be successful now based on what you heard right there it's not too much of a surprise that early with council the house or the president's authorization for force going down in a resoundingly feet here the numbers coming out of the house so far there are one hundred seventy three lawmakers still undecided but of those who have made up their mind. anzor close to it only twenty six support strikes and eighteen are leaning toward a

as a long slog ministration insists he alone has the power to order an attack artist tests are silly a report on the french perspective the french president a lot is constitutionally able to order over the top without a parliamentary approval but first of all along has been under a lot of pressure from opposition to to put this issue to a vote with the opposition and also pointed out that a lot is in a court of humility a position of having to wait for before acting i was spokesman from a long office said that the president hasn't yet decided whether or not to ask for a vote but what's interesting to note is that in the u.k. the prime minister is also able to order the talks without parliament the prime minister david cameron had asked anyway and had been given. no all along said though that france will not go it alone and will wait for the outcome of the u.s. special vote in all of this comes on the back the report presented to parliament by the prime minister regarding the chemical attack near damascus last march which they say is responsible for two hundred eighty one deaths the r

there's more on what's going on in syria on our web site so you right now we're reporting about it ministration waiving federal provisions in order to supply the syrian rebels if you go to r.t. dot com for the details. a mass shooting at a heavily guarded u.s. naval command center has left thirteen people dead including the gunman himself the shooter is believed to be a former navy reservist but it's still unclear what. drove him to carry at the attack the washington navy yard is the navy's largest on sure establishment president obama has described the latest shooting as a cowardly act meanwhile the u.s. has witnessed numerous gun attacks in recent years in november two thousand and nine thirteen people were killed and thirty two injured in a rampage carried out by an army psychiatry just fort hood in texas two years later twelve people were shot dead when a gunman entered a movie theater in colorado and less than six months after that adam lanza attacked the sandy hook elementary school killing twenty six mostly children in march this year another shooting spree at a military base left three

resolution and moscow says such a provision would be counterproductive we had a russian presidential ministrations that gave on north when speaking in stockholm earlier on saturday he said that russia is not going to veto any u.n. resolution on syria out of principle but he said that there is absolutely no excluding the possibility of russia changing its stance when. we're predicting international and if in future for example talking through ridiculous you pathetically but if we become sure russia will become sure that for example. we might change your position but so far we don't have such evidence but again russia has been adamant about about the necessity of the diplomatic solution of the syrian crisis and has been pushing the syrian government towards the discussion table russia has done its part under the russian american initiative on may seventh we have secured damascus commitment. to geneva conference. american partners so far failed to do this in the talks with the opposition it also looks like according to sergei ivanov that the syrian opposition doesn't seem to be so interested in getti

there were other ministrations trying to steal all the credit for everything that's going on from the russians when in fact your bomb a present seat was see why display which is not all in a russian this is so learned that was discussed in detail do you really and the russians and the syrians when we were all the brink of war we see what was going to happen in even before obama you know last minute ploy this side it to pass the bolt of congress so the old one of president essentially was saved by the syrians the remnants and the russians and now they're claiming the credit for themselves. on the syrian opposition will meanwhile get more help from the west as announced by the french foreign minister and his counterparts from the u.s. and u.k. the un report says both sides in the conflict have committed human rights violations and says such crimes by the opposition have been on the rise as more foreign mercenaries arrive the british defense study has found that nearly half of those fighting against the assad government are either jihadists or hard line islamists here's how the number op

what you said unemployment happened during the roosevelt administration not during the who work ministration at what he said was and in and no no that's not true either just like what happened was more and either take over from the republicans peak actually did not happen in the beginning of the obama administration it happened in the middle of the obama's phrase or you guys can try to rewrite history all you want but the consensus of economists today is that mr roosevelt's policies actually link the end and kept they were the depression that is that is that is because size is of conservative and the reason why the numbers are so low right now is they're doctored and we know that ok for all the conspiracy no names wrote a number more of tonight's long number on the left. i know c.n.n. the most n.b.c. and fox news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close enough for the truth and i think. it's because one fall attention and the mainstream media work side
