let's call n who favor of who are in absolute maximum pressure, we have to do now what the obama administration make it, and that is nextrd as possible for the democratic administration to just simply reverse it. let's completely end all of the for the civil nuclear project. also ow much would that have to do with the pompeo parameters, making sure those what people talk about? you legislate the pompeo parameters, i doubt it. lee: not legislate it. what extent, going and egotiating, it has to be kept in mind. the worst thing is if pompeo ives up on the parameters, the jcpoa is an as yount that disappears look at it. see 22, 2023, you installations of high velocity centrifuges, which is a stipulation of six or seven-year eriod of development that is now expiring. he series of nuclear crisis come about when iranians start centrifuges.entrifuge this agreement is not just aintaining the jcpoa is maintaining the agreement that in a few years allows iran to to install high velocity centrifuges. table, it's to the a very consent thus table, the successor.e isbillion on the jcpoa, here your bill. let's

the obama administration, like previous administrations and the trump administration, was very adamantiduals that people in government service who were the original holders who leaked it out. they held security clearances and signed secrecy agreements so that they was an understood liability. but the obama administration had all these detail about julian assange and they refused to charge him, not because they had any particular liking forjulian assange but they did not want to risk the precedent. donaldj trump for whatever reason has chosen to pursue this in a way that has never been done in the history of the espionage act. the indian prime minister narendra modi has won a second 5—year term in a landslide election victory. the contest had seen his hindu bjp party set against a broadly secular opposition. the vote was widely seen as a referendum on mr modi's nationalist policies. our south asia correspondent rajini vaidya nathan has the latest. narendra modi, india's strongman, has retained his grip on power. back for a second term, the boy who sold tea has grown into one of the worl

the cpb was created during the obama administration. how has the trump administration attempted to change the purpose and practices of the bureau so far? >> while democrats are in kobe support of the bureau pursuing its mission at full strength, republicans and a lot of groups in the financial services industry, advocate for banks, credit unions, so on and so forth, they'll said the bureau was overstepping its mandate, was being too aggressive and was overreaching beyond its powers which they said were also way too much for any one independent agency. so when mick mulvaney became the acting director in november 2017, he started acting all that the key pulled back the bureaus oversight of the financial services industry, he started collecting less data he sought to revise and we can a lot of the rules that had been administered and released under the obama administration in the previous director richard cordray and basically followed a checklist of all the republican industry grievances with the agency in order to pull it back and make u

joe biden has to stand by the obama administration. what we've seen this week, jesse, a 49 year low record unemployment. this president has but the economy on fire. under the obama and biden year 1.2 percent growth rate was the new normal prelaw 600,000 manufacturing jobs mostly to china. he is on the hook that, his no plan is no motto and no chance. jesse: cory makes a point, if joe biden will be the guy to retake the rust belt from president trump, i mean the rust belt got demolished under the obama administration. they lost tons of manufacturing jobs, china, i mean nafta, he supported that. i don't think that joe biden is a strong as everyone says he is. do you? >> the defamation of blue-collar jobs and -- did decimation of these jobs is part of a result of immigration, partly a result of globalization and partly the result of technology. notice the democrats and joe biden at the front of it, have no intention of adjusting any of these three problems. >> and the donald trump is facing them. working people know that donald trump is t

look at the obama administration compared to where we are now. what about dismissing china? do you think that any investigation is forthcoming in terms of hunter biden and how he profited from china specifically >> i think absolutely should be investigated if he's running for president, his record, his profits in that matter should be investigated especially when you make strange comments that china is not competition right now. heather: mark, i will give you this he did say that at least biden does have foreign policy experience and hasn't heard a lot if anything from the other potential democratic candidates who are running in terms of foreign policy at all. we are out of time, sorry about that. >> he al said biden had integrity and made distinction. heather: all right, thank you both for joining us this morning. >> thank you. heather: time now is 20 minutes until the top of the hour, president trump put pressure on gm and workers at ohio plant will keep their jobs. can he do the same for coal miners, our next guest explains how the president's

we would have been better off if the obama administration hadn't swept vladimir putin's occupation of georgia under the rug or looked away as russia for southwestern ngos and cracks down on civil society. if president obama hadn't let asad triple his redline in syria or embraced vladimir putin's fake deal on chemical weapons. of the obama administration had responded firmly to vladimir putin's occupation of ukraine in 2014 to the assassination of boris him soft and russian interference in syria. may be stronger leadership would have left the criminal less a motive, tampering with our democracy wouldn't have seemed so very tempting. instead the previous administration's in the criminal signal they could get away with almost anything. almost anything. is it surprising that we got the brazen interference detailed and special counsel mueller's report. a concerted effort to divide americans through social media campaigns, tapping internetworks of the clinton campaign and the democratic party. thanks to the investigation, we know more about these tactics. thanks to the investigation, 13 rus

and you can see the determination and the determination of the obama administration policies and what was going on in congress and our ability to put in the defense budgets that are necessary. you had a period of decline in the united states and our capability while you are seeing rapid increase in our adverse -- adverse areas' capability. there is a disconnect between what the american public germly believes about our capabilities. we have accustomed to thinking we will havedom nabs and the disconnect between that germ pleff and the reality where you've got things like the hypercxds hyper sonic weapons and you have what is going on in the cyber world, what is happening in space, you got what is happening with respect to nuclear modernization and so president trump made the right decision over the course of the last two years in terms of allocating the resources necessary, congress approving those resources and appropriating them for the defense budget. but we have to recognize that will be an ongoing challenge and one we captain we provided resources for two years. we have to ensure

david: vice president biden, gary, has a record of his own with regard to the obama administration. er recovery summer in 2010? he went out there and said the obama so-called stimulus program was going to create 500,000 jobs. it ended up in those months of 2010 created less than 200,000 jobs for the entire month period. he was a little far off. >> and they said a lot of the money was going to shovel ready infrastructure jobs and we know what got shoveled. the other part of the equation, it was like the seventh year of obama's administration, they were blaming bush for why their economy was not above par in the seventh year. the enemy of biden right now is success of the economy. the enemy of the media is success of the economy. so their job is to stay away from it or talk it down or talk about everything else and we know what all that is between mueller and everything else under the sun. david: rebecca, i have a feeling. he can't get much a out of this congress. i don't think they want to give him anything. but the one thing he could get is a deal with china. there are a lot of probl

joe biden has to stand by the obama administration. what we have seen this week jesse is 49-year low record unemployment this president has put this economies on fire and under the obama biden years, 1.2% growth rate was a new normal and los manufacturing jobs mostly to china. he's on the hook for that he has no plan he has no motto he has no chance. >> and cory makes the point if biden is going to be the guy to retake the rust belt from trump the rust belt got demolished under the obama administration. i mean, they lost tons of manufacturing jobs that china, and nafta joe he supported that, i don't think biden is strong as everybody says he is. do you? >> the defamation of blue collar job and working class jobs many this country partly as a result of immigration it is partly the result of globalization. and it is part of the result of technology now notice that iddemocrats and biden at the frt of it have no intention of addressing any of these three problems. >> no. trump is tackling two of them. namely immigration and the issue of tra

>> yeah, well, i mean, i think what happened in the obama administration is that the obama administrationght? i mean, in 2012 you had daca that was released. and then in 2014 they did dapa, which was suppose to cover the parents. the number of deportations of people actually went down through those years. and the other lesson that i think we learned from that administration was that when we have the chance -- when we have the democratic majority, because i think that on january 20th, 2021, at 12:01 p.m. we're going to have a democratic president, a democratic house, and a democratic senate. [ cheers and applause what we learned is that from the 2009, 2010 experience is don't wait on immigration reform we're not going to wait this time we're going to push sensible immigration reform >> seth: you know, you mentioned an ideal outcome for yourself would, of course, be, you know, the presidency and both houses you know, one of the things that might actually seem like the hardest right now is the senate. and, you know, there are just fewer houses, fewer races that seem likely to flip. and some

united states is absolutely not advised not just negotiating with the current government the obama administration was not fundamentally different from the current government it had a different appearance but the same nature we won't be deceived by us tricks. on thursday u.s. president donald trump said that iran is a weakening country and that it is looking for some kind of deal with the united states and that is exactly the kind of taking over of the narrative that iran's government is keen to avoid it has to be said that when it comes to the big picture of resisting america's maximum pressure campaign on iran all of iran's leaders do tend to agree on how to go about resisting the u.s.

why not just a little, little reference to obama administration, president obama, his administrationnsible for the integrity of that election? and why the obama administration and the intel community did nothing at all in response to russian intervention until the last month of that administration. call it meddling, if you will. the campaign and the election of 2016 seemed, well, it seemed to have some problems with responding to that russian interference that we're assured by so many was in collusion with the trump cam and president -- n and president trump. mr. mueller avers that he and his counsel's office conducted an independent criminal investigation. those were his words today. but then he obfuscates, either intentionally or perhaps otherwise, as he claimed that from, the -- from doj principles and policy he concluded that the special counsel could not reach a determination one way or another about whether president trump committed a crime. simply put, that is a conclusion, and it's equally obvious that mueller is unhappy with his conclusion and deeply, deeply troubled that 22

mark morgan, former border control chief under obama administration will now need to be confirmed by senate but what should top priorities be if he's to control the migrant crisis at the southern border, here to weigh in former ice supervisor and author of unwavering your honor gray hunter to hunted. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> always great to have you with us jason, what do you think of the pick, a good one? >> i think it's great one, excellent background, not only border patrol but 20-year fbi guy. heather: being a 20-year-old fbi guy, what would that experience bring into this role, how would that be helpful? >> what ice needs head to border and dismantle organizations and human trafficking organizations. >> we have president trump's tweet announcing his choice to head ice, please today inform everyone that i believe in a strong, fair and sound immigration policy that mark morgan will be joining the trump administration as head of hard working men and women of ice, he will do a great job and also had the job under the obama administration for a period of time. so what will

promesa was a compromise that came out of the republican congress and the obama administration. it helped to provide the tools to provide the territory with tools to cope with an untenable situation. no one could forget the fact that they were in debt and there was no way of actually funding that. the situation took decades to develop and it will not be solved in a matter of years or months. it will take a long time. but as was stated by mr. duffy, if the goal, and i think it is from the majority of the side of the aisle is to see puerto rico have statehood, sooner rather than later. the ability of working together to solve these issues becomes critical and i say that because when i was last in your office i come from a state that had the qualifications for statehood in 1850 and it did not happen until 1896. there had to be political things that took place in utah before statehood was granted. i understand the situation and i understand the reality and sometimes those are not what i would consider to be fair, but there has to be the ability to face those and be in a situation to

i do think -- and then, of course, the criticisms levied on the obama administration. the trump campaign doing at the same time with aiding and abetting the russians and having dozens of contacts with russians, some of whom were connected to officially russian intelligence. >> not meeting the legal definition of aiding and abetting. >> well, i'm using that in a parochial or colloquial sense i guess. >> yeah. >> but -- and certainly the president candidate trump on the 27th of july exhorting the russians to go out, an adversary, an enemy of ours, to help him and his campaign against his opponent, and by the way the russians complied with that request about five hours later, so it's a bit much, and then the other thing, of course, is -- is probably -- the stiffest action that the obama administration took on the 29th of december with the sanctions, the expelling of 35 russian operatives and the closure of the two intelligence doches and what did the incoming administration do but undermine it by informing the russians disregard the sanctions. >> michael flynn, you mean?

more aggression from iran when we fail to respond with strength why the turnaround here the obama administration they negotiated of course with the iran they brokered this historic treaty with the country why now the turnaround trump basically considers iran a threat as well your sign. it's iran is absolutely a threat iran is essentially been in an asymmetrical war with the united states for 40 years since 1989 iran is the world's worst state sponsor terrorism supporter of hamas hezbollah 600 american service members lost their lives during the iraq war because of the militias in iraq that showed their potency and in some cases their existence to iran is seen as could force so the trump mistake made the decision to withdraw from the iran deal. people of good faith can disagree on the wisdom of that approach but what i think you we have to agree is that there are some fundamental flaws or seems at least some serious flaws in the iran deal i would quickly name among those the sunset provision iran says they never want to go weapons so if they don't want to a nuclear weapon why can't those restrict

you had the obama administration prosecute more espionage act cases than all previous administrationsombined. but none of those prosecutions involved a publisher. now we have a publisher. >> i just want to be clear on that distinction. the people that were prosecuted were people that had done the leaking. >> that's right. >> and were i think in all cases government employees. >> that's right. >> who the government said were bound by the classification system. >> yeah. there was one other case that involved apac that fell apart but otherwise, yes, that's right. they were leakers, government employees or bound by the government's classification system. this is not that kind of case. it really is crossing a new and in my view very dangerous frontier. >> adam, it strikes me as a message indictment. it's not an accident that the president who says look at these scoundrels there at the back of the room who calls the press the enemy of the people, who has stopped briefings, who is not allowing any information to come out for congressional oversight, that this lands with bill barr at the helm

desperate to deflect from their own political scandal from the spying that happened in the obama administrationer when president trump announced that tweet about obama happy now we find out all of that was true. human source it is in the trump campaign. wiretapping based on dossier full of lies unmasking. the president was right all along the media outrage was unfounded and proven right and they're so terrified that they are going to be exposed. >> not only remember that i remember the national left wing media mocking the president. as he said -- he was being wiretapped -- it is extraordinary. jason your thoughtses this president put up with so much and now he's being told as well apparently by jared according to politico that he shouldn't campaign against democrats he's campaigning hard against them. your thoughts about that counsel to the president. >> i don't believe it. first of all, i believe jared kushner is a very smart person and very loyal to his father-in-law the president of the united states and i just don't buy politico i just don't know their sourcing very good nevertheless donald

about china disregarding or the obama administration not asking hardly enough oh no it's not up to united states to enforce chinese law you know the treaties that brought china into the world trade organization is now a part of chinese law and china is supposed to be enforcing it what this is what donald trump said was enough is enough you know we've waited you know 8 years we've waited 16 years well you know how long do you wait and you know trump's answer was you know no longer and so trump has taken the lead the trump administration is taking the lead in pushing china to open its store to the world and you know that's a path that china has repeatedly said it wants to take maybe all it needs is a little bit of you know a little bit of a push from the outside to get it over the political home i think you would also agree with me that for the trumpet ministration it's not only about the. rules i think trump himself has a major groove and says about the world trade organization it's it's primarily from what i understand it's primarily about preventing china's had germany as a global econom

. >> reporter: the president contends intelligence officials from the obama administration illegally surveilled his campaign and barr agrees there was spying. you've gotten some criticism for using that word. >> yeah, i guess it's become a dirty word somehow. it has never been for me. i think there's nothing wrong with spying. the question is always whether it's authorized by law and properly predicated. and if it is, then it's an important tool the united states has to protect the country. >> i think in the end i will consider what's happening now to be one of my greatest achievements, exposing this corruption. >> reporter: barr has launched a new investigation into whether the surveillance was appropriate, possible bias among senior justice department officials who worked on it. president trump believes some committed treason. you don't think they committed treason? >> not in a legal manner. >> reporter: but you have concerns about how they conducted the investigation? >> yes, but, you know, sometimes people can convince themselves that what they're doing is in the higher interest,

the obama administration would dispatch spies on a american citizen is clearly what happened.s that all right? >> 15 friendly countries report to our intelligence agencies that there are reports that they are getting, they credit that the russians are in fact as we now know from our intelligence community, trying to infiltrate the campaign and trying to tip the scales. that troubles me. >> tucker: does it bother you he wasn't a russian spy? he got spot on by obama -- -- >> that's like saying they be tom mack babies in cages was done by trauma. >> tucker: he is in charge of that, that was spied on by the obama administration, this guy went to jail but he didn't do anything. >> he admitted lying. >> tucker: he didn't do that. is that justice? >> he should have gone to trial if he thought he had merit. >> tucker: do have a problem with that? >> we now know donald trump invited the russians to help and they did and it benefited him. i am troubled that no one in the administration is as upset about that as they are about carter page and george papadopoulos. >> tucker: their lives w

from the obama administration bush administration, everybody -- >> become to wto2,000. >> nobody care or want to fight them so now china thinks they're entitled to get a benefit but now president say not doing it about but to impose tariffs what happens now? >> i think you have to take the president seriously and they have to take g hill at his word and culturally with china different from us you make a wortd with me we're ready to go with contract. with china they were predicting that the president which saved a little to get his reelection strategy and narrative in place. so they were also predicting to save a little a because they're afraid president would keep the the economy would weaken so those are two tactics that chinese use but they don't understand the president. if anything -- that best line the president ever gave me as a businessmen is you have to be prepared to walk away from table if you're not prepared to do that then you're strength and influence in negotiating notal going to work so -- i think that is hallmark of his 45 year success is as a business person now as a

, the obama administration, of the united states.ent trump withdrew from that, that's when the trade, bilateral trade talks started. president trump again surprised reporters when he talked about the tpp during a press conference, which also made a news headline this morning. he said he had nothing to do with it, he is not bound by it, but he also emphasised how trade until now has been very unfair towards the united states, and that he wants that to be balanced. as you said, two main sticking points, agriculture, which injapan has sticking points, agriculture, which in japan has very strong sticking points, agriculture, which injapan has very strong lobby groups over the farmers, and also the auto set. president trump has threatened to raise tariffs, on $50 billion worth of cars and car parts in 2017 -- billion worth of cars and car parts in 2017 —— auto sector. if he goes ahead with it, that will definitely have a huge impact onjapanese companies. all right, sensitive trade talks continuing. thank you for that update from tokyo, th

during the obama administration, there was severe push back on currency manipulation that the chinese were imposing on world trade. there was public movement by the chinese too to add just that and benefit the united states. i think gene is right. there's no question, there are democrats who view china and the relationship as unbalanced. i think the president has no strategy, no plan. he seems to be a rambling kind of strategy. >> president xi of china, the chinese can wait us out. every one suffers in a trade war, both sides. they have more to lose than we have to lose. that's a given. the fact they take a longer view politically. when you're president for life, you don't have to worry about the next election. >>e taking the long view. they do have more to lose. when you look at farmers in the u.s., they don't have alternative markets to seek. that's why you see now the white house floating an idea of another potential bail out for farmers where if do ylook in ch look at the imports they take from the united states, they can get that from canada, from france. they have other markets

and china disregarding or the obama administration not asking for one hardly enough oh no it's not up to united states to enforce chinese law. you know the treaties that brought china into the world trade organization is now part of chinese law and china is supposed to be enforcing it what this is what donald trump said was enough is enough you know we've waited you know 8 years we've waited 16 years well you know how long do you wait and you know trump's answer was you know no longer and so trump has taken the lead the trump administration has taken the lead in pushing china to open its store to the world and you know that's a path that china has repeatedly said it wants to take maybe all it needs is a little bit of you know a little bit of a push from the outside to get it over the political home i think you would also agree with me that for the trumpet ministration it's not only about the. rules i think trump himself has a major groove and says about the world trade organization it's it's primarily from what i understand it's primarily about preventing china's had germany as a glob

the obama administration promoted, and you've written about this that somehow we could pull away from the middle east and hope that the iranians would secure our interests. it was crazy and today the question for us is if we are not the ones helping to set and lead the world and the rules by which people operate then you will have nations like the chinese, the russians that step in and be there aeither the chinese or the russians share our commitment to freedom or our commitment to the importance of the individual who shares our commitment to open global commerce around the world so i think it's very important for us not to step back into their faces on both parties that advocate but i think that would be the wrong thing to do from a security perspective. >> there does seem to be kind of a public mood at least among some of wanting to pull back a little bit. people look at the post-cold war and then the war on terror. the united states has been engaged all around the world. we have a war in afghanistan that's now old enough some people were not born when it began our old enough to fig

>> sean: ari, last year in the obama administration, 350% increase of surveillance on unmasking americans, why would they say man to the power of 300 unmasking's? >> and top-secret documents are now secret and leaked out to more people. this began to unfold before the inaugurations. spying was taking place all the way back to 2015. and throughout 2016. and it was principally done by john brennan, the instigator of the russia hoax. >> sean: i friends in the studio tonight, transferred, just crazy enough to buy a time-share, they are the guys. they are friends of mine. but they asked, are they going to be held accountable? the trump declassified, it is huge, it is not if, it is coming out. >> when the inspector general report comes, yeah. it will be devastating for several individuals, and that will then give william barr the opportunity to present this to a grand jury for a potential indictment. a >> sean: you think that they will try to ken starr barr. to speak of the only thing they can do to barr's tournament to ken starr, which is what they did in the whitewater prosecution. >> sean: c

the obama administration this authorization without any kind of approval from congress. sincenc then we have helped the saudis with surveillance, reconnaissance, and information, target selectionna assistance, d until quite recently with mid air refueling, mid air refueling including mid air refueling combat missions. in other words, we've been materially assisting a foreign power in its efforts to bomb it adversaries. and sometimes helping that foreign power to bomb a innocent civilians on the groundhe in the process. other opponents of our resolution claim that our involvement in this undeclared, unconstitutional, immoral civil war half a world away in yemen is somehow constitutional, is some out statutorily authorized under the war powers act of 1973, which authorizes theh executive branch to use armed forces in cases of emergencies, and under certain limited narrow time constraints. but the conflict in yemen, a conflict between a regional rebel group, on the one hand, and the saudi backed government on the other hand, byy no means constitutes or in any way presents a

we never -- we didn't the have that under the obama administration in eight years, under the obama administrationted a finger to try to help the border patrol agents to secure the border. this president is, in fact, trying to do that. lou: and this, right now the idea that we're basically being confronted by thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants, most of whom are seeking in one form or the other asylum, we have deportation removal orders for, what, a million others in the united states, and we just aren't seeing anything happen on interior enforcement as there is surge after surge on our southern border. >> well, our main problem is, is we have too many the people in dhs that are holdovers from the obama administration. mark kerkorian said it the best when he was talking about what's happening in dhs. there's very few people in the department that actually support the president and his vision in trying to get what's done. they want the status quo because the status quo keeps them in their positions where they need to be. that's the swamp, and that's the swamp that needs to be drained. and
