the obama administration has ended up being transparently lawless. madam president, today i have discussed only five examples of the administration's lawlessness in implementing obamacare. i will save for another day the significant legal concerns surrounding this administration's abuse of handling of high-risk pools, its actions involving the small business exchange, its sweetheart deals granting unauthorized exemptions for labor unions and many other similarly problematic actions, but even in the five examples i have mentioned today, the overriding point is clear. the tenure of president obama has amounted to an unmistakable pattern of executive abuse. time and again, his administration has flouted its constitutional responsibilities, exceeded its legitimate authority, ignored the act of law and sought to escape any accountability for its executive overreach. madam president, such executive branch abuse cannot stand. whether republican or democrat, each of us has a sworn obligation to defend the constitution, and each of us has the responsibility to

this is the second time that the obama administration has simply passed on to congress documents that it has previously released to media and watchdog groups, a weak attempt at complying with a congressional subpoena. that's an administration out of control, an administration not living up to the laws, an administration that is ignoring legitimate inquiries of congress, an administration that just seems to think it can get away with anything. more importantly, this episode demonstrates the carelessness and the -- well, should i say the careless and intentionally evasive approach the administration has taken in responding to congressional subpoenas. a simple foia request turned up multiple documents that the administration admits are covered by a prior congressional subpoena and, therefore, should have been disclosed months earlier. while the executive branch is obviously obliged to take all lawful information requests seriously, it is outrageous that this administration would treat a routine foia request from a private party with more care and serious attention than a lawfully issued

this investigation would not be necessary had the obama administration come clean. this investigation would not be necessary had the obama administration complied with congressional subpoenas. this investigation would not be necessary had the obama administration not misled the congress, the american people and the media about what happened in benghazi. the american people deserve the truth. and most importantly, the families of those four brave men deserve the truth. this committee will build upon the excellent oversight work conducted to this date and ask questions and demand answers. constitutional check and balances were intended to ensure that each branch of government conduct itself with the utmost integrity and do so within the law. that is our duty. and we will solemnly and jishously carry this out. today we have the opportunity to stand together and take another step closer to accomplishing that goal, to finding the truth and i urge my colleagues in the house to support this resolution. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: mr. sessions: we reserve our

president obama's veterans administration is not only ineffective, it's broken, and a hotbed of corruption. and so goes another obama scandal. not a potential scandal, a full-blown scandal. they are shunted aside, veterans left to die waiting for doctors, while officials pocket bonuses alleging that they reduce wait times. the budget has increased disproportiona disproportionately. and veterans, seeking help which never comes. for the last five years, official reports show that schedulers are not following policy. the names of at least 17 and up to 40 veterans who died were put on a fake list in phoenix. and whistle blowers world wide connect the deaths to appointments that weren't even scheduled. and the v.a. administration secretary told senators he was told not to release information that might compromise yet another inquiry. how many inquiries do we need before you do something? forget oversight. why not just take the fifth? and in case you didn't catch this one -- >> any adverse incident like this makes me as -- makes me mad as hell. >> really looks mad, doesn't he? an adverse inciden

the obama administration has launched a review of execution procedures following last weeks botched killing of a death row prisoner in oklahoma. clayton lockett died of a heart attack warty three minutes after he was injected with untested chemicals in his growing. -- groin. prison officials had called off the execution after he remained conscious and convulsed on the gurney. president obama called the botched execution deeply disturbing and said it raises difficult and profound questions. >> in the application of the death penalty in this country, we have seen significant , and evenracial bias application of the death penalty -- uneven application of the death penalty. there were situations or individuals on death row later on were discovered to have been innocent because of exculpatory evidence. in all of these, i think it raises significant questions about how the death penalty is being applied. i will be discussing with eric , you know, toers get me an analysis of what steps have been taken, not just in this particular instance, but more broadly in this area. i think we do have to, as a

the targeting originated out of washington dc and not a rogue office in cincinnati as the obama administration maintained. and a brewing scandal in missouri. taxpayer money is being wasted. saying that workers are being paid to sit at computers do nothing but hit the refresh button. hiring 1500 workers to process applications for obamacare and there's nothing to process so the employees spend their days at the computer and we are sure that their other buttons as well hitting refresh. joining us now is george w. bush and his senior staff, former clinton adviser and fox news local analyst outshone. thank you for being here. let me start with you, brad. the apparent victor, it was as a tea party victory as some are claiming? or is this a cleverly constructed establishment victory for the republic? >> it is a republican party victory in the good news is that the tea party is alive and well. and this includes more conservative candidates in viewpoints and other parts of the country. we are going to take the republican victory and they're going to run in nvember. lou: so there is a big thing across

in 2009, the obama administration said that it would seek for all of those top masterminds at guantanamo way, lug shake mohammed. moving them to american soil could be a security threat n2009 and 2010, congress voted down bills that would have funded closing the base. >> the unwise and unwarranted restrictions undermine our counter terrorism efforts, and could harm our national security. >> instead, the top al qaeda suspects are still in prison in guantanamo, and stuck in the process of military tribune falls. under the bush administration's plan, there are legalities, defendants have attorney and get access it them. but it's not private. the suspects cannot know all of the evidence against them, and the conditions or time in custody bear no weight. the president has tried to make good on closing gitmo, but it centers on capitol hill. if detainees were to be transferred to the united states, they would not require new legal protections, such as the right to seek asylum. >> john walker lynn, jose padilla, richard reed, abdul tall ab. all were found guilty in the u.s. and all sent to presi

so getting his release obviously is a huge, tremendous kind of victory for the obama administration, for the u.s. department of defense, and obviously for sergeant bergdahl and his family. it should be pointed out that he was promoted while in captivity. he was a private assigned to the 501st regiment fourth brigade 25th infantry division in alaska, and subsequently promoted to sergeant. >> thank you so much. now joining us on the phone is al jazeera's security contributor jj green. in their statement the white house thanks the premiere of qatar for acting as mediary. >> it brings into middle eastern affairs who is looking for something of a new order of things, moving forward, recognizing that there are organizations like the taliban and al-qaida who influence politics. this organization has dumped a lot of money in building up it's reputation around the world as a very thoughtful, practical, and a very skilled country with leaders who are able to engage in this kind of intermediary activity for countries that really don't have that kind of reputation or that kind of presence in the

the obama administration has characterized him. >> when they say i don't know what i'm talking about, i say it's somewhat misleading. >> but the office of the director of national intelligence, james clapper, says nonsense. edward snowden was an i.t. contractor, not a covert intelligence officer like many of his previous public statements. many of the recent claims fall well short of the truth.

. >> many republicans, including the house speaker said the obama administration misled american people on the days after the attack. they point to botched talking points claiming the killings were as a result of an anti muslim video. an email released last week indicated the white house helped shape those talking points, whichóác we know are not true. steve, what are republicans hoping to learn from the committee? >> they say the white house was playing politics in the after math of benghazi and they want to find out who was behind as what they see as a deception followed by a coverup. that attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi killed four americans, including the ambassador. the white house portrayed what was a terrorist attack as a demonstration that got out of hand. >> they were trying to create an impression to the american people that wasn't a broad irforeign policy failure and it was totally disconnected with reality on the ground. they saw benghazi, i think, bob, as a threat to his re-election. they created a political smoke screen. >> and senator kelly ayotte said the truth

that is one of the criticism of the obama administration for a while now. the president set the redline in syria for instance and nothing happen. >> there are separate issues. how they are communicating the message and the substance of the foreign policy. on the communication aspect. i don't think anybody thinks that the obama administration really thinks that sending out a tweet save our girls is going to rescue the girls. it is awareness. and it is a way to convoy thoughts in the twitter age these days. and that is one issue. i don't know if you can completely criticize them for using the twitter venue to do. that in contrast to the redline in syria and investigations in benghazi. there is appropriateness of when they do it and when they are taken seriously. >> i don't so teddy roosevelt saying speak softly and carry a big hash tag. the idea of applying pressure to nigeria government and boko haran and others tens of thousands of people to tweet, what does it accomplish? >> it gets media attention and reporters, a lot of them spend their day on twitter an

. >> reporter: the obama administration has tried to blame the irs targeting of conservative groups on a few rogue agents in cincinnati, but this latest information uncovered by judicial watch ties the behavior directly to washington. lois lerner the former irs official who was found in contempt of congress last week sent an email correspondence in april of last year. the april email explains the bolo criteria looked to pick groups for additional scrutiny and screening. looking for groups with tea party, patriot and 9/12 project. organizations seeking to make america a better place to live and groups with statements in their case files that are critical of how the country is being run. there is also new information about the actions of retiring michigan senator karl levin who sent a series of letters during the final stages of the 2012 president sham campaign. july 30th, 2012, levin singles 12 groups he wanted investigated for political activity. september 27th, he asks for copies of paperwork about planned political expenditures from conservative groups. october 17th, stephen miller t

streets if you can't try them and give them a fair trial and hold them, get them out of zero obama administration has sent back home the maximum number under law of the authorization for the money to send them back, 600,000 a year. much more than the bush administration did. so, the idea that they all should be sent back i would rather keep someone who overstayed their visas than those charged with burglary. >> i come back to the point i cannot imagine that somebody consciously would allow murderers to walk out on the street. >> i can't either. my first thought is this is insane, must be a mistake. where do these numbers come from? these numbers aren't coming from some right wing organization that has some particular agenda. this apparently is coming from the government itself. >> well, from the house, the. >> they asked for it. >> the republican house asked for it and they also, the ice and immigration service asked for 2 billion more dollars to house people and didn't get it it and so everybody who complains about this are not willing to pay for it. so, what if you got overcrowding conditions a

evidence that in the 2012 attack in benghazi, libya, it was well planned and organized, the obama administration initially blamed it on an anti-muslim video and called it a spontaneous event. this week, new documents reveal ben rhodes tried to re-enforce the video angle with talking points for administration officials that would, quote, underscore that these protests are rooted in an internet video, and not a broader failure of policy. and even with this latest speculation, jay carney is downplaying questions by calling them conspiracy theories and others on the left are piling on. >> diversion subterfuge. benghazi, benghazi, benghazi. why aren't we talking about anything else? what i know of what i have read in the press about those e-mails, were fairly consistent with what was put out there before. i don't think there's anything new there. >> you have to fill the space with something. i have to tell you, benghazi has filled the space way beyond its life. benghazi is a corpse. they tried to arouse it today, and it fell right back down. >> joining us now from new york, jean zano, a political ana

so that hold promise by president obama to the most transparent administration in history. he upheld after all. really thanks to the pressure applied by members of congress and federal courts built in washington dc since the ex parte it. back in april of twenty thirteen president obama unveiled the brain and ensure that all the research after looking at how the human brain works the white house in fact pledged to spend one hundred million dollars on the endeavor to present this to say about investment there's this enormous mystery. waiting to be a lot the brave initiative will change that by giving scientists the tools they need to get a dynamic picture of the brain in action. and better understand how we think of how we learn and how we remember. when you're in japan is change initiative even the nail. there's some big news report in the next few months highly secretive us military researchers say they will unveil the advancement of bringing plants that could one day when storing wounded soldiers memory. this could be huge for us soldiers injured during the afghanistan and

just as the obama administration told them. perhaps that is because this administration is so hapless, so incompetent, one more mistake that destroys one intelligence officer's entire career, is believable. to report in the most dangerous region in global war on radical islamist terror, i believe that 5person or persons responsible should be spend is prison, anything less would demonstrate only a little regard that white house has for those who risk their lives, to serve this nation. a commencement address to future leaders of the army would have been an appropriate setting to communicate that respect, and concern and promise action. rather than philosophy about use and limit of american geo political initiatives and military force. >> up next, he survived a 7 way race for republican senate nomination in georgia, and now, has a heisman trophy winning football star on his campaign team, congressman jack king ston, joining us hire next. >> johnny football, really? [ shutter clicks ] hi there! [ laughs ] i'm flo! i know! i'm going

that is the bottom line. >> or maybe it's a planned distraction that the obama administration isn't going for this. >> he's the president. he may forget about that and look at everything that happens in his administration like he's an outsider but we don't forget that. neither do the american people. >> it's a developing story and we'll keep everybody on top of that. >> hear what the speaker said that left students, professors and parents alike in shock and when you were 13, did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up? well, one state public school says that's when kids should start figuring it out. huh? ñ >> welcome back to "outnumbered." graduating seniors getting an earful this weekend. they called the students arrogant. >> i encourage you to come and engage in a serious discussion, not to come with his tail between his legs to respond to an indictment that a self chosen jury had heard without hearing arguments. aggravated as he had a right to be, i think he should be with us today. >> he's talking about the former chancellor of u.c. berkeley who pull out amid student and facu

the democrats and the obama administration did not like that. they decided in 201 behave to restrain them a little bit. we don't like what they did in 2010 so they put the irs on them. it does need to be investigated. >> actually it's laughable but it was just lois learner involved. in fact, some of the e-mails show that she was in touch with the justice department to try to actually prosecute some of these tea party groups. >> you're right. going back to your original anonymous question, i think you have to look at the overall trend in the obama administration when it comes to dealing with scandals to see why we're going to need a special prosecutor. they lied about obamacare. they never told the truth about benghazi. eric holder was held in contempt about fast and furious in mexico. so you have all of these things. they're never going to tell the truth. it's not in their dna. you're going to need a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of this. >> well, rich, we do have press conferences which white house officials including the president hi

the obama administration has never really rushed to hire people from the private sector.m not certain they'll do it here now. that's not spin. that's my honest answer. >> let's take a look at another fox news poll. here's the e request, in the end, will the health care law be a good thing for the country? as you can see, a more positive response now as compared to february with 47% saying it is a good thing and 46% saying it's a bad thing. it's kind of still split down the middle. so once all the glitches are gone, all corrections are made, nothing's going to have a clean bill of health, if you will, can obamacare be a good thing or not, matthew? take it away. >> i think it will be a good thing for people who get health insurance that they didn't have. in many cases, they're going to pay more for that insurance when they're promised they would pay less and they're not getting the consumer choice that i think an effective health care reform would have. >> next time, i'm going to have someone else on with you who's more favorable of obamacare. i'm not working for obamacare

the obama administration bragging and the only one in 100 years that can do it. we all know the goal. as far as the individual sites, though, failing, i think it's an embarrassment because you think of all the pressure that the white house has put on republican governors for not, you know, not playing along and not participating and setting up these sites, a big failure for a lot of these folks and going to a national site that doesn't work. >> what do you think, dave? >> one of the boston papers is calling it the big dig two. >> a lot called it the death of romney care. if you read a lot of the press up there, romney care. >> that was the weirdest thing because the exchange in massachusetts had been up and running since 2007 and them trying to convert it to all the requirements of the affordable care act that, in part, was one of the things that was a disaster for that state. oregon, the fbi is investigating the failure of its website. so, i think it shows you that bureaucrats, whether at the federal level or at the state level are just ridiculous and when they'

pushing for what i would say is a more activist policy and found himself rather unwelcome in the obama administration. he was arguing for a policy based on the precepts of the previous clinton administration before the bush administration, before the retrenchment of the obama administration. it is often true of the state department, when i worked in the state department in different presidencies, reagan and clinton, you have different perspectives, but the state department for a large role in the united states. a larger role for them, as simple as that. you can put it that simply hand wouldn't be so far wrong. about afghanistan, your chronicle of american policy makes me -- this is american policy doesn't change? does continuity is not a source of policy toward afghanistan but it is characteristic. more specifically how in maximalist responses it depends on the challenge that is not the ball for the president who is in office at the time and it tends to involve a pretty comprehensive approach. it doesn't mean just a military response. it means more activists diplomacy, more foreign assistance, more i
