and if i recall correctly, the obama administration only prosecuted about 1/4 of what the bush administration prosecuted. -- and i the 42,000 don't mean 42,000 out of 73 ,000, i mean 42 period, out of 73,000, the obama administration only decided to get 13 convicts. 73,000 initial denials. that tells you the system doesn't work very well at all. it doesn't make sense that we would have a system that would use all the information that somebody provides to look for hits of somebody that should not be able to buy a gun. use the data -- date of birth, use the social security number, use the information there to check to see if someone is ineligible to buy a gun. and then we can get serious about better gun enforcement. especially since we now have a department of justice, except for the special prosecutor . at's interested in just them

last summer his fathers have the obama administration should've done more to get his son home sooner.the question is do i think the past administration could have done more? i think the results speak for themselves. >> shannon: joining me to discuss, charlie hurt of "the washington times" and sarah westwood. good to have you with us. let's start with the back-and-forth the last few days with the president, these three young men admitted that they did things they should have not done in china and the president happen to be there and brought them, he says, was able to get them home. this was a quote from lavar ball. he said "what was he over their for? don't tell me nothing. everybody wants to make it seem like it helped me out." doesn't seem like he wants to give any credit to the presiden president. getting a little testy. >> it's a little irrefutable president trump was the one who took this to president xi jinping. happened to be in china at the same time as this incident with the ucla basketball players. it's a two-way street. president trump did elevate this criticism by respondin

the obama administration was so focus on a nuclear deal with iran. go what to the 2008 campaign, in the primaries, barack obama said he would sit down with dictators without precondition. and hillary clinton mocked him for being naive and foolish. she didn't know the half of it. but he wasn't just talking in the abstract there about some principle of international relations. he was talking in particular about iran and about trying to reorder our alliance structure in the middle east. he admitted as much in the last year in a notorious interview he conducted with new york magazine. therefore, he always ended up siding with iran's interest in the middle east, all to get to a deal and to preserve a deal. so for instance, when students protested in iran after the ayatollah stole the elections in summer of 2009, the obama administration largely stood by. for days they said nothing. they finally issued a meekly worded statement. not even a strongly worded statement. by contrast in the arab spring 2011, larl it 18 months later, a partner of ours, egypt, unde

we will turn to another qualified individual who will help undo some of the damage of the obama administration, william wehrum, president trump's nominee to be the assistant administrator for e.p.a.'s office of air and radiation, who will put his experience to good use for our nation. the office of air and radiation is one of the most important parts of the e.p.a. unfortunately, under the previous administration, it was also one of the offices with the most significant overreach. this one office was responsible for 95% of the annual regulatory burdens that the e.p.a. forced onto our economy, according to one report, reportedly costing the economy at least $41 billion -- this one agency. so this is an office in desperate need of new leadership from an individual who understands thousand implement policies in a balanced way rather than with extreme regulatory overreach. mr. wehrum is the right person for the job, with more than three decades of experience in environmental policy. he understands the issues before the e.p.a. and how to address them. he's even worked in this particular office befor

that's important and you made the point that the bush administration failed on this and the obama administrationd on this and the clinton administration failed on this. it's decades of failure with regard to north korea. everybody wants to punt and kick the can down the road and we're now at the point they're so close of getting a nuclear weapon that could hurt us and our people that we can't allow that can to be kicked down the road anymore. china is a big factor in this, let's not forget. china essentially allowed them to be there in the first place. they have a lot more intelligence than we do about north korea. how do we influence china in this whole regard? i know we're trying and that the president has been making efforts and china has signed onto some sanctions, but there's a lot more we can do, right? >> well, china is the most important part of the equation, they're literally, 70 to 80% of the north korean economy. they can make a call today and tell them, you are toast if you do not back away. i just don't think it's in their interest at this point in time. i think that sanctions are f

during eight years of the obama administration i did not hear one people out of my colleagues across the aisle. it's refreshing to know they are concerned about that once again. we have a partial answer which is to get the economy growing again. to regain our standing in the world we need to get our financial house in order. we need to pass the tax reform package to shore seriousness and determination in jumpstarting our economy. i hope our colleagues will join me in supporting the senate's version of the spill. america's future prosperity partially depends on our ability to get this done. what kind of country do we want? one that's vibrant and full of energy or one that putters along? much is on the line this week as we debate and vote on the tax bill. i ask unanimous consent to include the letter i referred to that was published today in that november 26 wall street journal called how tax reform will lift the economy. i yield the floor. >> senators on the finance committee, the panel that met for four days before the thanksgiving holiday met with president trump at the white house.

before the obama administration wrote instructions -- the obama administration got rid of that very early on before 17. those against engagement in miami have recognized it is a political use of the desert and their constituents when they can go see mom. and so there's a key way in which the cuban-american community is therefore not affected by some of the recent changes. their ability to travel to the island in theory remains free, unfettered. so i think that contributes to a dynamic sometimes in which many folks in miami who are by no means single issue voters, the broader noise in u.s.-cuban relations might not register as much insofar as the own ability to go back and forth is not just impacted. but there are other clear ways in which the cuban-american relationship is affected. there are less u.s., a kindbu of rich transnational economy, flow of people, goods, money may also be impacted. cuban-americans to travel to the island don't only go to hug mom, they go to bring cash on the order of several billion dollars a year in remittances. that is both to his or their loved ones on the i

we will detail all of the steps that the obama administration took to allow this and cover it up.te that is coming up in the opening monologue. our big story tonight, the former interim dnc chair is saying, she has the smoking gun evidence that hillary clinton rigged the dnc in order to keep socialists from vermont, bernie sanders, from winning the primary. making the revelation in her new book which will be out next wee week. this is massive. keep in mind, this is something that president trump, he has been saying for months. remember this. >> the dnc, democratic national committee, rigged the democratic election. the primary process, to take it away from bernie, and give it to hillary clinton. the dnc vice chair was caught feeding information about bernie sanders plans to the clinton campaign. you're not supposed to do that. >> sean: president trump was right again. brazile, talked about she was tasked with investigating after hacked emails. yes, the clinton campaign wass. colluding with the dnc. it's even worse, what expert from the book, brazile slammed her predecessor, that debbie w

the senior foreign policy team have been very critical of past approaches not just under the obama administration but the bush administration as well and yeah that goes to your point why would they because previous presidents in the united states and frankly other nations that are stakeholders in the situation have allowed north korea to get away with its behavior for far too long without sufficient consequences so of course north korea feels that the you know now tional community is not going to do enough is not going to take those necessary steps so they continue to do what they're doing and hence we see the trump administration saying we're not going to continue on the same path that previous administrations or the international community failed at previously let's talk about the obama administration's the next couple of minutes but to go the obama administration was either according to its critics feckless and this policy of patients was never ever going to work. no i think at this particular moment it's not that meaningful to argue about whether president obama did the right thing or mart i

the conceit is the obama administration went to great lengths to prepare for the obama administration prepared talks, breeching briefings where we have this odd system of government on election day, the people who have been elect have had to get up to speed very quickly to run the government. that's what the election is about, right? who will run this government? and the obama administration expected the trump administration to be there the next day, parking spaces set aside, desks, computers with internet connections set up for them and all the rest. nobody showed. in many of the agency, nobody showed. >> dickerson: just after election day? >> just after election day. so the cramming takes place from election day until the inauguration where you learn what's going on in these various agencies. and so the briefings to a large extent never happened. and so i thought, i'll go get the briefings, figure out what they might not know. it's a kind of great course in how our government works, waiting to be taken. no ideological flavor to it at all. it was like, how you take a census or how yo

indeed, , during the eight years of the obama administration when the national debt doubled, i didn't hear one peep out of our colleagues across the aisle on the national debt. it's refreshing to hear them that they're concerned about that once again but we had a partial answer to that, which is getting the economy going again so that the treasury will increase its returns and we can begin to pay down some of those deficits and debt. but to regain our standing in the world we need to get our financial house in order. the first step is to pass reform package which will show our seriousness and determination and jumpstarting our economy as a way to address our fiscal challenges. i hope our colleagues on both sides of the aisle will join me in supporting the senate subversion of this bill. because america's future prosperity partially depends on our ability to get this done. what kind of country do we want? well, one that is vibrant and dynamic and full of energy, or do we want one that simply putters along? a lot is on the line this week as we debate and vote on the senate tax reform bi

i do worry about a progressive loosening of the rules from the bush administration to the obama administration to the trump administration that eventually has turned the 2001 aumf into a golden ticket that allows for action against a non-state terrorist groups anywhere in the world on a presidential say-so. we shouldn't take our institutions and frankly the fairly radical rebalancing of powers in the constitution for granted. when madison and the other drafters put the declaration of war authority in the hands of congress, they knew they were doing something pretty radical. they knew the world of the day, 230 years ago last month was a world of kings and emperors and monarchs and popes. war was primarily for the executive. but they decided they wanted to do something different. ten years after the constitution was done, thomas jefferson as president was grappling with -- get this -- a nonstate terrorist group in africa. what could be done about them? and he wrote a letter to james madison and asked what was behind the war-making powers in the constitution's article one. madison described it ve
