the obama administration i s just forcing it through without giving us the information so that we can even know what is going on. and they are trying to do this on a fast track so that the investors, potential investors will go ahead and invest in this business that is going to give the major people who own lightsquared the kind of profits that are going to be tens of billions of dollars. and it is going to be an expense of the military and at the expense of the aviation community, and other entities that require high precision gps measures. lightsquared will interfere with those. the fcc needs to stop trying to fast track this. we need to do everything to make sure that we have a proper vetting of everything dealing with the spectrum before barack obama gives this administered -- and this administration cares political favors to his contributors. host: when we talked with mr. sanjiv ahuja, he talked about the vetting process. guest: the process that is really relevant is 2003 and 2005 process. 2010 was -- the change of control was a very long, 7 month long process, ok? i do not know

the affordable care act has not yet been taken by the court most recently of the obama administration and the state a.g.'s both filed a petition to have the oh the approachable care act heard. so and there is this case from the sixth circuit which actually went support of the law that up held the law. conservative justices there are upheld the law in a two to one decision that cases potentially before the court and this one from the eleventh circuit is florida is it unusual that the department of justice the administration would ask the court to see to hear a case so there was no i know i know that that's not unusual ready to ask but is it unusual that they would ask and the court would. not respond quickly well it's likely because there is now a split in the circuits that the court is going to take this although there's been some talk that they'll find a way to duck it because of the election law but does it take for that for them to grant well. it depends on when it comes in there for their calendar the six circuit cases ahead of the eleventh circuit case the florida case and it's probably going to be n

several of my colleagues have argued that the obama administration could later approve the sale of these f-16's c and d series at a later date, but that's actually not the case. the f-16 production line was recently received a small order from the air force of iraq to sell iraq f-16's, but without additional orders, the production line will soon be shutting down. the people who are working there will be laid off or reassigned other jobs. so we're rapidly approaching a point at which the president of the united states will not be able to approve the sale of new f-16's because they will not be able to be manufactured because the production line will be shut down, and i hope my colleagues will keep this in mind as they consider my amendment. but even if the production line was not an issue, why should we make our allies in taiwan wait? why would the united states tell our friends to come back later? as i said, the chairman of the finance committee quoted ecclesiastes during our last debate, but let me conclude with wise words from proverbs.

administration is no different. president obama suggested that the korea free trade agreement will create 70,000 new jobs. the record shows crust how wrong that claim is. in the 1990's, president clinton suggested thanafta would create over 200,000 jobs. here's the reality. since nafta passed in december, 1993, america has lost 5.15 million jobs. lost 5.15 million manufacturing jobs. 384,000 of these jobs were lost in my home state of rth carona. in 2005, president bush claimed that cafta was a pro-jobs bill that would stem the tide of u.s. manufacturing jobs losses but since cafta passed in september of 2005, america has lost 2.4 million manufacturing jobs. here we have roughly 9.1% unemployment in this country, due in no small part to the washington elite jamming these job destroying trade agreements down our throats. americans do not want free trade. a recentbc-"wall street journal" poll showed that 63 -- a recent nbc/"wall street journal" poll showed that 63% of americans believe free trade cost american jobs. 61% of tea party supporters believe that trade agreements have hurt this natio it's time we started listening to the will of the american people and doing

. >> the obama administration says it wasn't just democratic lawmakers though supporting ener1. representative dan burton an governor mitch dan else also on ener1's behalf. it trading for pennies, far cry from january when vice president biden visited the company. >> i don't under why they let the president or vice president go out there and underline support for the companies that may be so risky, maybe in some political danger for these administration officials. >> you know, that is an excellent question, wolf. if you look at timing on this, for instance with ener1, it was the day after the president's state of the union address. they wanted to fan their officials out of the country and talk about initiatives. in this case he was talking about the battery industry, electrical vehicles. same thing with s 0 lyndra, there is a jobs report. you have to see what is going on, on the day of the event, when they are out there visiting their companies. off then there is a political timeframe as well. >> and the same pocket of money went to solyndra as well. >> it is a different department, but again the department of energy program. >> basically america

obama. martha: sure. >> but what he's saying saying s laughable. candy crowley sitting there without breaking a smile? that's funny stuff. i mean, collectivism is the watch word under this administrationt when you start demonizing collectively the entire republican party, you've reached a level of absurdity that that's even a bit too far for this administration straining under the burden of very low approval ratings for this president. i think it's time for people to start getting serious in this administration rather than silly. martha: but, you know, he cites mitch mcconnell who, you know, right after that quote came out i think almost a year ago he said this, it will never be forgotten, you know, his goal was to make sure this was a one-term president. clearly, many members of the gop do not want to see the president reelected, so the question becomes are they being obstructionist in order to insure that the economy doesn't improve and he will not be able to get another four years? >> i think the republicans then, the republican leadership certainly should question the motives of this president. god forbid, does he not want to see a republican candidate elected president in 2012? w

current policy that the obama administration did allowing in our opinion violating the marriage act and allowing for same sex marriages to be performed at military chapels. and the.'srtion policies we think they've been getting way too much attention. and while it's not making "new york times" headlines there are certain things that i mean minnesota, north carolina are both going to be voting on marriage amendments next year. the new york nine race, representative weaner's old seat that was one based on the marriage issue in new york state. so it might not be getting the headlines but those issues are still out there. host: for those not familiar with your organization tell us about the family research council and the values voters summit taking place. guest: the family research council is a cushion-based organization that tries to bring those values through legislation and also on the federal level and also on a state level working and allying with a number of other organizations. with value voter summit we're partnering with a number of those organizations all in an effort to give a place for conservatives to get together, show them how to talk about the issues a

obama administration's standing in the way of job growth. the department of commerce estimates that the 276 pages of federal regulation could eliminate as many as 60,000 u.s. jobs nationwide. the e.p.a.'s own fact sheet says that implementing these rules will cost more than $5 billion. in august of 2010, the small business administration explicitly warned the e.p.a. that these regulations were too extreme and would harm small businesses. unfortunately, the e.p.a. did not heed this warning. in addition, the boiler regulation will impose substantial and unnecessary costs for americans to use biomass energy, an essential part of job growth in the northern california district i represent. biomass is a clean and renewable energy source that could help increase our energy supplies and manage our overgrown and fire-prone forests while created much-needed jobs. i urge my colleagues to support this legislation to protect jobs and ensure that this costly regulation does not go into effect. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from kentucky reserves his time. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. markey: again, i would ask the chair if we could review ag

administrative review that americans have. now, the other side of the coin is the obama white house says that attorney general mees back in the 1980'sion that it's out in the open that the federal government says yeah, perhaps we want to lie on certain occasions about records that we have. i would say that information is never free in our government but the price to be paid for lying about it may be even costlier than that. >> and so few people trust the government and this would give them even more reason not to trust them. >> let's trust the government but let's have as much disclosure as we can. good to see you, steve. >> thank you very much. see you tomorrow. >> meanwhile, if you're having trouble paying your mortgage, the white house has a plan for you. but will you even qualify? dave ramsey helps break it all down. then remember rudy? the star of one of the most inspirational movies of all time, sean aston is here. good morning to you. you're next on "fox & friends."
