obama had the media, obama had the you -- judiciary are, obama had all kinds of support. question, what enchants you? obama was never challenged seriously by the media. trump doesn't have any of that. he's got to keep his supporters onboard, he's got to keep 'em revved up. so the rally was great. but the thing that will really make all this russia stuff and all this deep state stuff not take hold is getting to work implementing the repeal of obamacare, getting to work and really doing tax reform and getting to work and really shore up our borders, was that is the -- because that is the primary area where people that voted for trump felt that we were on the way to losing the country. we've even lost the definition of immigration. immigration today, if you listen to the left, equals anybody who wants to come into the country should be allowed. that's not what immigration is. that's illegal immigration. and we ought to all oppose it. we are all in favor of immigration that determines who gets in, the quantity of people who get in, whether they assimilate or not. nobody's opp

it led us to the overreach in in a way,arack obama, was the counter narrative and barack obama's foreign-policy, like it or not, was what he advertised in the campaign in 2008, he largely delivered as a foreign-policy during his eight years in office and as we are seeing now, donald trump in his first 30 days has very much tried to act on his major elements of his campaign rhetoric. he is moderating in some areas , talk talked about a ban about a wall, and he was a skeptic on multinational trade and he eliminated those -- the transpacific partnership. as george w. bush said, elections matter. host: phone lines are open. kathleen is up in dayton ohio, line for democrats. >> good morning. mr. crowley, i have read many things you have written but anyway, i worked hundreds of hours for obama and then when he appointed hillary clinton as secretary of state by almost croaked because of her vote for iraq and that she does have a war hawk history and with clinton, she pushed for the intervention in libya as well as arming unknown rebels in syria. there were things -- i wouldn't vote for him in a millio

obama: it is time. already, we have done more to advance the cause of health care the last 30 days and we have done in the last decade. when it was days old this congress passed a law that provides and protects health insurance for 11 million american children whose parents work full-time. >> [applause] pres. obama: our recovery plan will invest in the electronic technologies that will reduce errors, bring down costs and ensure privacy and save lives. it will launch a new effort to conquer a disease that has touched the life of nearly every american, including me. by seeking a cure for cancer in our time. >> [applause] pres. obama: and it makes the largest investment ever in preventative care because that is one of the best ways to keep our people healthy and our costs under control. this budget builds on a historic commitment to copperheads of health care reform, a down payment on the principle that we must have quality, affordable health care for every american. that is paidtment for, in part, by effi

but there was no outcry when president obama did it.o protect our borders, we're a nation and if people want to come here, they can come here legally. but immigration -- the ban on immigration from countries where terrorism is coming from is a good thing. it's to protect american people and that's the president's job, protect america first and not that we don't care about those people. we do care about those people but we need to help them in their homeland. we do not need to be bringing them here. if you look at europe, europe is in chaos and european leaders basically invited it in when they allowed all these syrian refugees and immigrants that cannot be vetted. >> terri, i have to tell you we have different immigration policies than europe but i do appreciate you being here and stating your opinion, but obama, what he did and what the current president did are are two different things. those were seven countries identified and people traveling to those countries should have got more vetting, not people coming from. it's not the same

>> they took it out of the obama campaign in 2012.f that campaign and they turned it into a 501c4 so they don't have to show their donors. it starts at a training center. these aren't like the rabble from occupy wall street or even black lives matter. these are professionally trained agitators. they are schools in alinsky's triewls for radicals tactics in a program that lasts six weeks. 32,000 have gone through that. they have another 25,000 under training now and another training center coming up in march. and we haven't seen the worst of these protests. these are going to hit hard. but obama is the guy behind all this. he's the master minds. if you look at his website. down in the little print, his new website. two organizations listed. one is ofa, organizing for action, the other is the obama foundation. and eventually he wants to merge them. and if they can get the dnc which obama wants to get his guy tom perez, this radical civil rights chief he had at the helm at the dnc, then they get proprietary data base of the voters from of

now the problem was, the obama administration was in power.inaugurated and therefore that's a violation of something called the lodge act. you're not supposed to interfere with the outgoing administration's foreign policy. >> the logan act. >> the logan act. >> so it got revealed in this article and then white house or trump administration officials confirmed to people like me, cnn, others, that the story was true, he had brought sanctions up in this conversation and that put this pence interview in an awkward light. all of a sudden flynn was having to explain to pennsylvania that he didn't remember perhaps what he had, what, what conversations he had had. and now it's all down to,cy think what is the personal relationship between those two men, can they get past this? and then there's the larger question of, will congress let it go. and you know the democrats certainly won't. >> josh, there's still a question about exactly what was said about sanctions. we know it all happened at a time when the obama administration issued sanctions on russia

we lost 68,000 coal mining jobs during the obama administration. standing here in washington, it may be hard to imagine the impact of losing those jobs. but for families, families that i visit with every time that i'm home, it means falling behind on your mortgage, struggling to be able to put food on the table for your children, and picking which bill will have to go unpaid this month. in the twilight hours of the obama administration, the department of interior finalized a rule that applied to every coal mine in every state in the country. when it was originally only supposed to apply to the surface mines in six appalachian states. the rule amends over 400 existing regulations, including some that are normally in the jurisdiction of other agencies. the complex and duplicative requirements in the rule could lead to a 60% reduction in coal production of a state like colorado. there's no clearer example of a federal agency implementing a redundant, one-size-fits-all mandate, than this last-ditch effort to regulate the coal industry out of business.

obama and president, former president barack obama.we talk about the importance of women and when we drove down for african-american women, i will read this to you. this is a true life story of true glutton. with that she the ultimate titanium in the 21st century washington d.c.. she is one of the most influential and recognizable people of any gender, race or any status confronted not only by the physical condition of being on the scene but also in the process of the racist and jaded mental situation of being unnoticed. in a very real example during the obama and his. michelle obama would leave the white house, her home at the time to venture out for walks and exercised for the personal agenda for let's move campaign. she walked the streets of washington d.c. around the white house. unannounced and most cases, unnoticed. she was rarely recognized and because of that fact the unpublished walk continued. she walked by every day america, tourists and residents. but for the most part she took long walks away from the white house without a

obama left office, obama officials saying, that's not true, what's your reaction to all of that?>> it's silliness, anderson, and what i'll tell you is this raid, like any other capture/kill raid is planned months in advance. details are consolidated, information is gained, there is more observation of the target. it occurs, depending on what the target is, and depending the target packaging, going after either an individual or the site. it takes a lot of time to confirm or deny what's there. this was started in terms of the planning process a few months ago. but as items are collected and intelligence is gained, it's further refined. it is looked at by all the chain of command, the central command, and the special operations command. and they make decisions on it. and it's passed back and forth between the pentagon and the combatant commander. it will eventually get to the white house for final coordination and approval when it has certain elements that need the president's approval, because of things like politics and relationships with other countries. and that's what happened

house republicans also repealing an obama era gun regulation. bring in phil to break it all down. he's live for us on capitol hill. the gun measure is a little tricky. how do you see it all. >> it is chris and it's important to layout what actually happened. the senate and the house as controlled by republicans have a mechanician to roll back obama area regulations about six months. they started to use this mechanism only used once before in history to start cracking back on the rules. one of those a rule created by the obama administration that required them to send over the names of the national criminal background check to anybody unable to manage their disability payments. if you have mental illness you shouldn't be able to have a gun. makes sense right? except there was lack of due process they didn't feel there was enough due process for this system and process to work. that's why you have seen republicans vote to remove this. they already did it in the house and they're likely to do it in the senate as well. this is something that is goin

bush, and barack obama. the speeches, which are not considered state of the union addresses, focus on policy priorities of the new administration. we began with ronald reagan, speaking before the congress on february 18, 1981. [applause] members of the congress, i have the high privilege as a distinct honor of person she the president of the united states. [cheers and applause] pres. reagan: thank you. thank you very much. [applause] pres. reagan: thank you. thank you very much. [applause] pres. reagan: thank you all very much. mr. speaker, mr. president, distinguished members of congress, honored guests, and fellow citizens, only a month ago i was your guest in this historic building, and i pledge to you my cooperation in doing what is right for this nation that we all love so much. i am here tonight to reaffirm that pledge, and to ask that we share in restoring the promise that is offered to every citizen by this last best hope for man on earth. all of us are aware of the punishing inflation that has for t

>> all president obama did -- i think you're referring to president obama.criticized citizens united which anyone can criticize the issue and not attack the judiciary. >> i think that the american public deserve for you and the rest of the elected officials and members of this august body, the congress and senate, to stand up when donald trump does something wrong. if you say that throughout history that something has been done wrong to judges and the judiciary, so be it. what judge said about this judge in washington state was wrong. it does threaten the independent judiciary. i wasn't around when fdr was criticizing a judge. >> i don't think the congresswoman was either. >> i was around before electricity. >> what we're looking for is not just yourself but speaker ryan and mitchell mcconnell and everyone to stand up although i'm a republican and conservative and support you, what you're saying is wrong. to throw it back in history is disengenuine to the american public. >> let's step aside from this and nothing brings out hypocrisy like a judicial confirm

obama had the media, obama had the you -- judiciary are, obama had all kinds of support.tion, what enchants you? obama was never challenged seriously by the media. trump doesn't have any of that. he's got to keep his supporters onboard, he's got to keep 'em revved up. so the rally was great. but the thing that will really make all this russia stuff and all this deep state stuff not take hold is getting to work implementing the repeal of obamacare, getting to work and really doing tax reform and getting to work and really shore up our borders, was that is the -- because that is the primary area where people that voted for trump felt that we were on the way to losing the country. we've even lost the definition of immigration. immigration today, if you listen to the left, equals anybody who wants to come into the country should be allowed. that's not what immigration is. that's illegal immigration. and we ought to all oppose it. we are all in favor of immigration that determines who gets in, the quantity of people who get in, whether they assimilate or not. nobody's opposed
