president, why the more than two years of radio silence from the obama administration? why the disregard of a federal statute when the administration's arguments for doing so in this case are so disturbingly unconvincing? why wait until after the decision could not be challenged before telling congress? after reviewing these events, the answer seems obvious -- president obama and his subordinates illegitimately chose not to inform congress until after the decision was irrevocable because they knew that congress would object. two administration officials told bloomberg news as much that -- quote -- "the failure to notify key members of congress in advance was a deliberate move to skirt opposition to releasing the five taliban prisoners." now, the vigor of the obama administration's defense of the deal has shocked many. it has not shocked me. to this president, this deal represents the apex of the responsible winding down of the conflict in afghanistan, not only in returning sergeant bergdahl but also in releasing the taliban five, whom the administration has eager thely s

if the supreme court rules against the obama administration, it will be once again the supreme court saying that the administration has sort of put an unconstitutional burden on the american people. that it's been operating or doing things outside the constitution. remember, just last week, the supreme court said the president could not make some recess appointments. those pro forma appointments, it feeds into the republican narrative. republicans make this case in the fall. the president isn't always winning these constitutional battles up at the supreme court. it could add some political ammunition for the republican side of things heading into the mid terms this fall if they want to make the case that hey this president, his entire administration is not following the constitution, and this hobby lobby case could fall into their court and be used as sort of a political tool heading into the fall. it is a possibility that could shape the fall campaign and fire up the republican base, carol. >> absolutely. and i'm just hearing that the supreme court has handed down a decision on union

it is time to change that. >> the supreme court has largely upheld the obama administration omits on greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet. in a seven to two decision, the court ruled the environmental protection agency could regulate power plants and other stationary sources of greenhouse gas emissions as long as they are already requiring permits for other types of pollution. majority,r the justice antonin scalia said the ruling allows the epa to regulate 83% of such emissions, compared to the 86% the agency sought to regulate. in south africa, platinum miners have agreed to end a historic five-month long strike in return for increased wages. a miners union said it accepted a plan to raise wages by about $94 a month, roughly 20% rise, ending what has reportedly been the longest strike in south african history. ining a previous strike 2012, police opened fire on platinumt the marikana mine, killing 34 people. in brazil, anti-world cup protests are continuing across the country even amidst celebrations over brazil's latest triumph on the field. on monday, demonstrators

built for business. >>> the obama administration today took aim at the coal industry again. ndating a 30% cut in carbon emissions and fossil fuel-burning power plants by 2030. epa administrator gina mccarthy said the centerpiece to the climate change agenda was moral obligation. >> now climate change is calling our number. and right on cue, these same critics will once again flaunt manufactured facts and scare tactics, standing in the way of our right to breen clean air, to keep our communities safe and to meet our moral obligation as stewards of our natural resources. >> joining us now to discuss the scare tactics, the moral obligations, the facts, even, steve malloy, director of external policy and strategy with murray energy corporation. good to have you with us. erica payne, former deputy dnc finance director and founder of the agenda project. good to have you with us. t's start with gina mccarthy, my gosh, she just jumped into that floebl changlobal change t. didn't she mean global warming? >> i think she obviously mean that our climate is in peril and coal plants put ou

look at all the scandals that have happened under the obama administration you have the irs scandal and chaos and let's not forget about obamacare. they went hard on obama. >> really hard? >> maybe you are watching the closed circuit broadcast because they do edited those programs maybe they have a pipeline into you. >> they went after them. >> colbert very rarely does. stuart i have to say as we just saw will poke, will poke. their core audience, lauren, surely you understand that, are liberal, democrats under 4 o0. >> of course they are. they smoke a little pot, okay. they drink a little wine. >> i knew you were going to say that at 11:00 they are a little mellow. >> it doesn't matter if they smoke pot they still count in the ratings. >> there isn't an asterisk saying the people in san francisco were anybody celebrated when -- einebriated. i understand that that's their core. and the core wants to hear that o'reilly and other traditionalists and all the republican politicians are bad, howard. if they don't hear that they may not watch. first of all, lauren, you should throw colbert un

well, the obamaed administration poses top emissions. great idea if it's done right if not it could cost americans their jobs and more when you go to pay for your electricity bill. illinois tale you how. plus prevent being the next detroit. there are cities out there right in in america that are over extended and could be headed down the same road. i'll take a closer look. also go inside america's drone zone. see where they are testing technology that one day could deliver packages or everybody a pizza right to your door. i am ali vel

is a very dangerous situation there as you and everyone else the matter how you do but the obama administration. what do you feel was right about the policies the administration you served with george w. bush? >> we can debate and spend an hour on the debate over that. i was a strong advocate of going into iraq. i think that was the right decision. i still believe that. when we left iraq, when we left the white house, iraq was in good shape. we have been through a lot. it took longer than we anticipated with a higher level of violence. without question there were things we had not anticipated in the run-up to iraq. what we found was the surge in 2007 and 2008, with a change in strategy, with dave petraeus the commander, iraq was in good shape. what was needed was to continue with a stay behind for so that they would have intelligence capabilities, air assets, and so forth that would allow them to maintain control. that is what did not happen obviously. >> do you give the president some credit for trying? >> not really. the history to it was the military recognized, recommended between 18,000 an

about following the law, and the obama administration told the obama administration, no, you don't.at is a pattern. we saw this in the secret iranian nuclear negotiations. this is a problem in a pattern. we need to make sure the obama administration understands you have to work with congress, by law, by constitution, i statute, and you need to keep them currently informs. >> and national security advisor susan rice maintains that bergdhal's deteriorating health was one of the reasons for not informing congress in advance. the deal was in the national security interest of the united states, she says. another'sike rogers clearly disagree. this debate will continue. >> the afghans are not happy with this deal either, right? >> that is right. the foreign ministry but out a statement saying the transfer is a violation of international law. in their opinion, those prisoners should have been brought back to afghanistan with no restrictions however. one of the questions is whether the prisoners will open the door to peace talks with the taliban. early indications are probably not. we will h

i don't believe for a second the obama administration or bush administration wanted to see people diedat means somewhere down the line, i think you shouldn't be giving performance bonuses for anything. this is not a obama issue per se. it wasn't a bush administration per se. it goes back to the time it was started. >> it's a government. it's a bureaucratic issue. a government expanse. >> you know how hard it is to fire a union worker. >> they are down to 8% of the workforce. >> i'm telling you somewhere around 80% of the va is unionized. that's the culture. >> the reason this is happening and people are dying is not because of unions. >> there's no incentive. there's no competition. >> no incentive to do better. if you're failing at your job, you get rid of them. >> there was an incentive to do better if you covered up the number of people that were deceased or that there was a waiting list or the corruption. then you got the money. >> you got the performance review that got you the bonus. when we come back the minnesota legislature recently pass ad law outlawing the name asian carp be

you have the obama administration notifying the obama administration, the justice department, and theny have to come to congress. congress was kept informed of the osama bin laden raid which couldn't have been more secretive than that. they followed the law on that situation but not on this one. that's odd to me. >> do you think that -- there's not a lot of trust between congress and the administration at this moment, right? do you think that had any part in any obama administration decision? >> well, i would hope not. that would include the democrat controlled senate. the obama administration didn't notify anyone in this process. it wasn't just a matter of we don't like congress and so we're just going to go around them. they don't like the law so they'll go around the law. this was a bipartisan law that was passed dealing with larger national defense authorization. in that national defense authorization, it made it clear transfer of prisoners from guantanamo how that could be handled and limitations on that. they chose to ignore the law. that's a bigger issue. we're all overjoyed tha

if there's a story that is embarrassing to the obama administration, or raises questions about u.s. policies, it's a good chance that they will conduct a leak investigation if they are involved in their mind that it involves some expect of national security. they will be happy to provide information officially leaked through the white house, and officially sanctioned that makes the obama security problems look good. but stories that raised questions that investigate u.s. policy are more likely to be subjected to a criminal leak investigation. the justice department is being used by the obama administration, much like president nixon used an enemies' list, it's a more officially sanctioned version of an enemies' list. >> the white house called for a pardon or a clemency for the al jazeera journalists. what message does it send to the rest of the world when the administration is facing criticism from journalists? >> that is what i think is the most important thing we should think about here. what is the - what is the message that the obama administration is sending to the rest of the

so then obama administration is caught in another deception. all right? the senators are furious with president obama, even the democrats. so it's now reaching critical mass and i don't think the obama administration can come back from this. >> critical mass for what? >> for -- >> they are not going to i'm peach him and he doesn't need congress because he's ruling. >> the democratic party -- >> torn to pieces. >> he's ruling like banana republic -- >> fine. >> his party will be damaged for decades. he's destroying the golden goose. all right? >> that's fine. i think that's probably true. i think he is undoing a lot of the goodwill that liberalism enjoyed when he came in. they are seeing it eight years in action. the worst recovery since the second world war. incompetence in doing obamacare and incompetence in running the veterans affair. abuse of the irs. the list is incredibly wrong, and i think it will do lasting damage. i think the country is getting a demonstration of liberalism in action and they don't like it but all i'm saying is we got to live thr

the obama administration has reportedly condition military intervention in iraq on the resignation of prime minister a maliki. iraqi and u.s. officials said wednesday maliki's government has asked the obama administration the launch airstrikes on sunni militants. general martin dempsey confirmed iraq's request in senate testimony. >> we have a request from the iraqi government for airpower. >> we do? >> we do. we think it is in our national interest -- security interest. >> to counter isil wherever we find them. >> according to an independent report, the obama administration has told senior iraqi officials it would intervene militarily only of prime minister maliki left office. maliki, whose shiite, has been why the criticized for deepening iraq's sectarian divide. speaking earlier today, spokesperson for maliki rejected calls for his resignation host up in washington, president obama hosted top lawmakers to discuss whether he would need congressional approval for any military strikes in iraq. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell of kentucky told reporters he does not expect obama t

you know, president obama, of course, promised a lot of transparency. the administration has pretty much doubled down on bush administration tactics, doing things the bush administration barely considered. >> yes, i think there's in much doubt about it. pt track record -- the track record is clear. they had more leak investigations and prosecutions and have gaoled more people in connection with stories that have appeared in the media, than any other administration ever has. they have cracked down on reporters in various ways over the last few years, and whistle blowers. and they tried to shut off the flow of information from the government to the people. which is the whole point of the first amendment. >> and you said that the administration is trying to create a de facto officials act, that it's trying to control national security reporting so only the facts that the government wants heard, are heard. how. >> one way they have done it is by prosecuting and conducting criminal investigations of stories they don't like. if you - if the people write stories in the dash in m

to carry out airstrikes come of the the obama administration has declined the request so far. >> meanwhile on capitol hill, the senate foreign relations committee magic question president obama's nominee for the next ambassador to iraq wednesday. the the senators did not ask the nominee or the current ambassador to iraq a single direct question about the current crisis. to talk more about iraq, we're joined by two guests. mohammed al dulaimy is an iraqi journalist to reports for mcclatchy newspapers. he reported from iraq for years and now seeking asylum in the u.s. out of fear for his safety if he returned. this is his first tv interview. he is joining us from columbia, south carolina. in new york, ned parker is with us, the reuters bureau chief in baghdad headed back to iraq shortly. let's go first to south carolina to mohammed al dulaimy. would you please explain what you see is happening to your country right now? see is the failing of the whole system, of the united states and its allies that tried to build in iraq. in iraq isemocracy in danger and has been for a long time. but now it

policy team that has trouble to come together and that is the case for some time now in the obama administrationnd. >> there is a hard time believing the intelligence or understanding the intelligence in a significant way to allow them to marshall some sort of response because this administration has been flatfooted on every major foreign policy development over the last couple of years. >> you have a suny insurrection commandeered by real extremist even by al qaeda as standards but they're concerned about me when dash be more involved because the entire arab middle east so it balances that with statements we have to get rid of maliki. he came to the election pretty strong and and tell you can get behind another candidate and apparently there is no other one at this point i suspect he will not get a third term but it clearly is the set of issues making it difficult to to make decisions when the russians get their airplanes and they're we look like we are a little slow. lou: and madani avenue saying he supports the kurdish state. your reaction to that development? >> yes the kurds understand thei

his governance has been a problem. >> you can't blame the obama administration for that. >> these peoplethe obama has not dealt with syria at all. >> if you had to vote knowing what you know now, to go to war against suddam hussein -- >> we can never do that, because if i know what i know now, i would vote differently. hindsight is 20/20. >> saying it with hindsight, it was a blunter? >> at the time, they believed what they were doing -- >> with hindsight, it was a mistake? >> no, you said that. >> you said you wouldn't have voted for it with hindsight? >> i said i wouldn't vote because i can't vote without knowing what happens today. you see what i'm saying? we can't go back and change it, if we would have voted or not. the fact is, hillary clinton is saying this based on what she knows many years later. >> obviously, we're all smarter with hindsight. >>> just ahead, 95 million people watched opt j. simpson as he >>> it's been 20 years since that infamous low-speed chase involving o.j. simpson. millions of people watched as police pursued simpson along the highway. fast forward to now.

>> the obama administration is defending its actions. national security advisors, susan rice explained the rationale. >> we felt as the war was winding down, it was you our sacred obligation to get him back, that we do so. we did so in a way that has brought him back safely into american hands. we did so in a way that resulted in the taliban prisoners being monitored and kept in a secure way. >> rice says that the focus of the obama administration is on the health, safety, and wellbeing of sergeant bergdahl . >>> randall stand by for just a moment as we wait for sergeant bergdahl's family to speak. you are looking live at the podium. >> that's going to happen here in just a matter of moments. i want to go to alan shaufller. >> that's his home state. you were there yesterday, in his hometown. can you set the scene for us and the mood in his hometown of h l hailey? >> reporter: well, the scene is he can static there. yellow ribbons lining main street, signs saying bowe is free plastering store windows. people extremely giddy about the fact

including the obama administration could claim a major victory, there a victory whose jaws of defeat is being snatched. >> how much blame do you think maliki bears because he's taking a lot of heat? >> he deserves a tremendous share of the blame. he's been an unfortunate leader. he has kept the sunnies from sealing a sense of participation. managing a leader like this in a place where we have a great stake is one of the most difficult jobs of the presidency and of the president and his secretary of state. but it is part of the job. and i think we as a nation and our leadership bears a responsibility for the way maliki has acted. and part of that is the fact we have basically vacated the premises militarily which i think would have given us more leverage in dealing with him. >> we'll see if secretary kerry has any luck this week. >>> a slap in the faces, a pat on the back or both from the supreme court tonight for the environmental protection agency. in a complex divided opinion today the supreme court either dealt the environmental protection agency a stunning blow or upheld most of

obama administration said they were kind of caught off guard. how do you get caught off guard in the middle east with all this stuff going on, with all the money we've spent, in that region, all the lives we've spent? here's the problem, the obama administration has now said they may have to ask iran for help. what is going on with iran and the u.s. they want nukes. they want to negotiate nukes. do you think that's not going to be on the the table when we say we need your help put -- pushing back this isis group? >> yes. we want nukes. katie couric asked him, qatar had some dealings with isis. now how scary is that? qatar had dealings with isis. qatar was also the go between the taliban 5 and trading for bergdahl. the point is this, it is so mixed and jumbled, this whole terror thing, we just have to stop or we're going to start arming our enemies and we heard today there's a possibility u.s. stinger missiles may be in the hands of isis. kimberly, i love you. i disagree. stop being with decisive. we did decisive. it doesn't work out. >> i think

poll continues: do you think the obama administration is more or less competent than the george w. administration? more competent4 less competent, 48%. and finally, do you approve or disapprove of the job barack obama is doing as president. 40% approve. a 4% disapprove. those are bad numbers. no question. so the spin begins. the president's acolytes in the media are saying it's simple prisoner of war swap. that happens in every conflict. but that is fallacious. the five men released from gitmo are war criminals. brutal men who target civilians. how bad is the taliban? listen up. june, 2013, the terrorist group beheaded a 10-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy on charges they were spies.)29xm april 2013, the taliban amputated a hand and foot of two private security guards because they associated with foreign troops. october of 2012. the taliban shoots and nearly kills a 15-year-old pakistan girl because she supports education for women. august 2012, taliban killers behead 17 people, including two women for attending a mixed gender party. i could go on and on. the atrocities never end

i think it's unfortunate there's one particular law involved here that the administration this is the obama to straighten as applied to whistleblowers more than all other administrations combined i think that's unfortunate i don't understand exactly why the administration is acting this way i wish they would rethink that if we reach a point where journalists like glenn greenwald needs to fear for his own safety and freedom returning to his country of origin that we've really gone astray but i've encouraged by the fact the republicans more and more see this issue the same way the democrats too and were able to get a vote on important issues like this in the house despite the normal iron grip of the republican leadership that has us voting on establishing committees and renaming post offices as much as anything else procedurally does this now go to the senate for consideration or is the senate creating their own version which then will and up going into conference committee yes one of the beauties of this approach is that both the house and the senate have to vote on appropriations bills each

there is no safer place to be on the planet if you are a criminal than inside the obama administration, the book is "the people vs. barack obama." thanks for being with us, ben, good luck with the book. on sale now, online and at book stores everywhere. we're coming right back. bubba to the rescue again, despite making millions of dollars since leaving the white house, the former president says hillary is not out of touch. radio talk show hosts john gibson and john gambling join us next. show me the carfax® hi! need help finding a dependable used car? yeah, i'm worried about things like flood damage. oh, our team doesn't keep quiet about those cars. frank to carfax®. found an suv here! here's a sports sedan! i'll get the vin number! there's a convertible! avoid that one! large mouth bass. they get the word out. now there's a whole new way to shop for used cars. that's it! start your search at the new carfax.com but with less ergy, moodiness, i had to do something. i saw mdoctor. a blood test showed it was low testosterone, not age. we talked about axiron the onlynderarm low t treaent t

has the obama administration's foreign policy done more harm than good? our next guest says that president obama is to blame for breaking the middle east. eliot abrams is a senior fellow for middle eastern studies at the council for foreign relations in washington, d.c. he wrote an incredible article. i know my colleague and i really enjoyed it. she says hi, by the way. so i want to ask you about this. this is provocative. everybody was talking about it this week. tell the american people, what has the obama administration done to fuel the turmoil in the middle east? >> you know, in 2009, none of what the chaos we're now seeing was taking place. the chaos of 12,000 jihadis, running amok in syria and iraq, threatening israel, jordan, the oil supplies in the gulf. none of that was happening. this is the product of five years of obama policy, that has turned the middle east back to real chaos, and endangered us. because those jihadis, at the end of the road, they want to come for us. >> so it seems, and a lot of people feel the way you do, that this administr

if it involves hurting president obama or obama administration, they don't want that. mple of where the heart of the media still is in the sixth year of the obama presidency, last week on "nbc nightly news," they did a big feature, cynthia mcfaden, valerie jarrett, white house advisor the she is not news. she is important person but they treated that segment on valerie jarrett like they were star-struck teenagers, so wonderful and powerful, so close. kind of thing you see in first week of administration but six years later still doing that. valerie jarrett's reported split called ambitions back home in illinois. she is getting a big run-up, meantime there is no room for the veterans and va scandal and all the deaths. that is not on the media agenda. jon: alan, you have the second largest federal agency and obviously huge problems by the conclusion of the report itself and yet it got virtually no coverage on some of the networks, primarily abc but also nbc. >> primarily. nbc and cbs gave a couple minutes to it, which is lot of time when you look how many minutes you get

more trouble for the obama administration because of the taliban negotiation. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. there is growing anger in america over president obama's swapping five taliban war criminals for sergeant bowe bergdahl who may have deserted his unit in afghanistan before being capture ited by the taliban in 2009. there is compelling evidence that the sergeant violated military law and may have even collaborated with the enemy. however, top obama security advisor susan rice is saying this about bergdahl. >> he is going to be safely reunited with his family. he served the united states with honor and distinction. >> another very dubious statement by ambassador rice how will remember is the person who mislead the world about benghazi. that's the administration's take that sergeant bergdahl is a honorable man. >> sergeant bergdahl put on the uniform of the united states voluntarily and went to war for the united states voluntarily. that takes honor and it is a mark of distinction. >> president obama himself a bit more cautious.

to what extent is this a reaction by the obama administration much like the the reagan administration against governments like chavez in venezuela and the leftist other got governments are in charge is gone but. yeah you know it's certainly the u.s. look allow this to destabilize themselves i think they were quite happy to get rid of the lion because he all those ally was very much a centrist he was starting to do progressive politics and allied himself with these democratically elected center left governments you know that's what we have to look very carefully about what's going on right now with all salvator which has a progressive government it's murder rate has been dropping and to not lump it in with honduras and guatemala and finally i just want to restore the answer is not even more money for training the police in honduras biting on friday just gave eighteen point five more million more dollars to supposedly helping train the hunger and police to clean themselves up and to act more effectively and this is really absurd and we have hundreds of millions of dollars that have flow

one of the key differences between bush administration and the obama administration, is the notion ofon building. and where as the bush administration felt in some ways we would inspire people to a democratic principle and nation build, the obama administration is clear, we are not in the nation building business, unless it is here at home. >> a ri flesher who was the president for president bush said the only question was did the obama administration make things better or worse. and he said president obama made things worse, your reaction? >> i don't think that is right. clearly if you get in the blame game, then you open it up to all of the political arguments that come with that, john and people saying why did we get in the first place versus the way we are trying to manage the situation which is putting american interest first and foremost. they are clearly served by anything that eliminates the hospitalible environment for terrorist and terrorism. that is what we are coping with now. it is a war of choice and necessity and the argument against the bush administration that it iraq

meddlesome priests it is odd that all of the scandals all of the criminal activity in the obama administration has already founded to the benefit of president obama could we make this case against any places around boston which are against reagan weapons of mass destruction against bush every administration has had people under them who have lied or done things we give in washington well i'm not sure we couldn't i washington read think that certainly i'm sure something was done the washing was relatively clean but it but it but if you look at you know george w. bush or if you look at bill clinton or if you look at ronald reagan sure i mean the answer would be that you could and people should be wary i mean this is this is sort of the case that i'm making is that we've become so comfortable with the executive branch of the government abusing its citizens and vie.
