host: has the long-term role of this jcpoa from the obama administration, the withdrawal with the trump administration, now to the biden administration, to never allow iran any sort of ability to produce a nuclear weapon? guest: the goal has been to make it as difficult as possible for iran to do so, if it were to decide to do so. we have to be clear that around has engaged in activities in the past that are related to nuclear weapons design. there is still an official iaea investigation going on about some of that. it is our assessment that one point they had an organized program. but they don't have one today. in order to build a bomb, you have to amass enough nuclear material that is the substance that produces the explosion, you have to have a warhead design, and you have to have a delivery system. if we can hold them back to be able to affect all of those technical requirements for a bomb program, we can be assured that iran is not going to get the bomb, or at least we will have enough warning time in order to intervene if they do try to dash towards a bomb. host: iran has a ballis

the obama administration had to suspended in 20 put -- 2015. one enlistment was found to be a chinese spy. a number of foreign nationals who enlisted in the military were deported for committing crimes. yet, the democrats don't differentiate between heroes and those who abuse the system with ill intent. i look forward to a discuion about these and other important issues wh witnesses today and i yield back the lance of my time. chair lofgren: i am pleased to recognize the airman of the judiciary committee, chairman nadler for any opening statements he may wish to offer. rep. nadler: emigrants have served in the u.s. armed forces in every major consulate since the revolutionary war. today there are 45,000 immigrants actively serving in the u.s. to armed services. every day, great immigrant servicemembers risked their lives in support of our country. we rely on them to keep our nation safe and protect u.s. global interests. in return, we must honor their sacrifices by supporting them and their families. and, by giving them every opportunity to bec

this was the last state arrival of the obama administration. this was the state arrival for italy. this was the first lady of italy, who mrs. obama gave a tour of the kitchen garden. i was lucky enough to be able to join this tour. here they are pointing out some of the new additions to the garden. actually, as we were walking through, the first lady of italy had never seen a yellow tomato before. which is one of the white house favorites. some gold tomatoes. they are delicious, yellow bundles of sweetness. she had never seen one. so we picked a handful and we all shared a handful of some gold tomatoes. maybe they can put that on my tombstone. anyway, so, who takes care of? this this is taken care of by the national park service, but no one does this alone. this was a project driven by the first lady, and her office and her staff and the director of let's move in the white house chefs. so national park service stuff, because they take care of the horticultural aspects of the white house, assets, they're the caretaker of the garden. but there are also volunteers. this is obama wanted

but this was the last, the last state arrival of the obama administration. this was the state arrival for italy. this is lindy me, who mrs. obama gave a tour of the renovated kitchen garden in october of 2016. i was lucky enough to be able to join this tour and here they are, pointing out some of the new additions to the garden. but as we were walking through, the first lady of italy had never seen a yellow tomato before. one of the white house favorites. some gold tomatoes are delicious yellow bundles of sweetness. she had never seen them, so we took a handful and we shared a handful of sun gold tomatoes. maybe they can put that on my two stone. so, who takes care, as i said, this is taken care of by the national park service but no one does this alone. a project driven by the first lady, and her office and her staff. the director of let's move. the white house chefs. the national park service staff. because they do take care of the cultural assets of the white house, they are the caretakers of the garden. but there are also volunteers. she wanted it to be a

in order to find out what the obama administration knew, what people working for the obama administrationly thorough investigation into what was going on with the pay to play scandal. this has been in delaware of the u.s. attorney's office since before the 220 election. you might recall a couple months ago the new york times talking about this investigation and it really seemed like we were on the verge of indictment. what's going on that that has not yet happened? is going to be impossible to figure out what happened behind the scene until something is done in the legal system. >> there's worries this is going on in the home state of delaware whether influence is being brought to bear. chuck grassley has been asking that on the prosecutor's office in delaware. then turning back to what was undergoing the obama white house, chuck grassley and ron johnson, they are asking, why are the strategies having multiple meanings inside the state department occluding u.s. ambassadors? where are obama's attorney general, crapper, cia's john brennan, james comey, hundred biden took nearly two dozen tr

given the confidence the obama administration express, one would think that they had obtained prove the claims made by cross. right. so then one of the emails from october, 13th, 6 days after that statement was made, show the crown strike still had not handed over the evidence. they claim to ha, our team is in the process of gathering this data now, and we'll just need to know where the f b. i would like this data to be sent. it's also notable the statement from the intelligence community wasn't a mistake or the work of a single agent. as former d h s. secretary j. johnson testified before congress in 2017. the statement was made at the direction of president obama himself. the president approved the statement. i know he wanted us to make the statement. so that was very definitely a statement by the united states government, not just jim corporate me. after the assumption that crowds here, i was a reliable company that could back up the claims that made to the f b. i. well, the company is a president admitted to congress that his firm never had any proof in the 1st place . we did not ha

and i did serve in the obama administration. my idea of what scientists should be doing in the political realm is provide advice, analysis, options, but not make the decisions. and i tried to do that when i was in the private sector and when i was in the government. you know, i think it's best if we try to stay apolitical, as does the military and the judiciary. many of my colleagues don't subscribe to that, unfortunately. when you get politicians, industry leaders in a closed room, with an honest discussion, it's a very different kind of conversation than what you see in public. that's all. >> okay. so you mentioned the public reaction that could be quite strong. how soon do you see that coming on? >> well, you know, the whole climate agenda has now taken a back seat given what's happened in ukraine and what's happened with the energy system, ukraine. i think that people have come to realize just how important a secure, reliable, affordable energy supply is. and i think that's going to occur a lot of thinking going forward. i t

i did more or less the same thing in the obama administration . brought in 2013 or 2014, i had a hard look at the science at the behest of the american physical society recounted in the book if people are interested inthe details . and i started to realize this is not as solid as people think it is. the dialogue became more and more hyperbolic of the proposed energy solutions became more unrealistic after 2014 and then i finally decided okay, i've got to be in the more significant way than writing off comes. >> this is the question i'm giving to you. doctor, you come from the political left which increasingly is as a catastrophic narrative. on the right many believe that the chinese hopes. the is he any prospect of the realistic viewpoint getting traction in the onpolitical realm -mark. >> first of all with respect to my own political affiliations, i have never registered as a member of any party i've always been .ndependent i did a course serving the obama administration but my view of what scientists should be doing in the political realm is pro

so the first how did you land a job in the obama administration? given your independent views on climate change well, look, you know one's views evolve as one learns more and as the science and the technology evolves. i joined bp in 2004 to help them figure out what beyond petroleum was. they didn't need me to help them find oil and gas. they were very good at doing that already. and so i educated myself about energy and energy technologies with the goal of helping to develop or caterogative development of lower emission technologies. i wasn't very focused on the science at the time had not looked deeply at it. and i get more or less the same thing in the obama administration. bought in 2013. i had a 2014 early 2014. i had a hard look at the science at the beast of the american physical society. it's recounted in the book of people interested the details and i started to realize this is not a solid as people think it is the political dialogue became more and more hyperbolic the proposed energy solutions became more and more unrealistic after 2014.

i remember during the obama administration, the second term, that's more recent than watergate. that is not that you approve of government, that is so diverse. just wrought trust, only 13%. host: one of our callers talked about how we need better civic education. this is from the fulcrum. that was introduced by the act with the hope of sparking a senate wide vote to improve understanding of civics and history. joseph is up next from new york. good morning. caller: good morning. i will eventually get to the mistrust of government. when abraham lincoln freed the slaves, the republican party was angry and they went to the democratic party. they stayed there until johnson signed the civil rights act. they were angry at that and then they went to the republican party where they stand right now. the republican party and republican politicians know they cannot win a free election without cheating because their platform is basically trickle-down. tax breaks for the rich. host: let's talk to randy in kentucky on the republican line. caller: good morning. i don't keep up with the news as

that is why somebody said this is the third term of the obama administration, often a lot of people areondering whether obama actually has input in this administration which is the strongest source of ideology, what do you think of that. >> as someone whose family law spiritually under the obama era and under the obama housing program i found myself in my family homeless return to the obama era policies would be disastrous as they were for notches my family is so many million of families across the country. in large part because of his failures i went from homeless to the house of representatives because i was so angry the way they grew government and tried to enforce in employ this dependency and control agenda that the left has lots be frank we cannot afford a third term of the obama years we need to put america first and always seen today is an american left policy that is run by limousine liberals and elitists that are connected on wall street it is hurting everyday citizens and that's why we are desperate to take the house in the senate back. >> as we saw yesterday with the economi

country, it has been focused on this sort of war on coal rhetoric a directing attacks at the obama administration's epa for regulating coal production. and of course the most recent administration's efforts to revive the coal industry. so it's important to revisit sort of an earlier period in this late 70s early 80s when there was support at the state level in a place like west virginia by pro coal democrats like governor john d rockefeller of the fourth. rockefeller saw the environmental regulations threatened. what was at the time a coal industry. that was just starting to rebound in the 1970s in the 50s and 60s because of mass automation over half of the coal jobs in the state had been lost and they were starting to come back with the energy crisis of the 1970s. and so rockefeller sort of at a state level represented sort of an intermediary position the energy crisis provided an opportunity to advance a pro-cola agenda, but utilizing a clean cold technology rhetoric. that would make the issue more palatable to national democrats who were feeling pressure and were concerned themselves about growi

phil: under the obama administration we began shifting towards a less transparent style of warfare and away from larger troop deployments. and also a time when the executive is aggressively arguing for the expanded scope of powers and targeted killing around the world. and i think that is a significant part of his legacy and a troubling aspect of it. susan: donald trump. when he was running for president, you had an opportunity to question him the way you think citizens should of political candidates. tell me what you thought of his response. phil: what is your plan for the region to ensure a group like isys doesn't come back? trump: part of the problem we have is we go income it defeat somebody and then we don't know what we are doing after that. look at what happened with iraq and how badly it was handled. then when obama took over, likewise, it was a disaster. it was somewhat stable, it's a war we never should've gotten into in the first place, but he came in and said, when we go out, and he took everybody out and really isys was formed and i think you know because you have been wat

holder had refused to turn over documents showing how the obama administration had armed the mexican drug cartels. remember that? one with firearms they sent to mexico and the fast and furious program was then used to murder an american border patrol officer. it was a scandal at the time in case you don't recall. >> he died in december 2010, killed by guns tied to an obama administration planned that armed mexicans. the scandal officials tried to hide it by wrongly claiming executive privilege. e-mails containing the house oversight committees reports showed top officials knew they sent guidance to mexico even before his death. the border patrol which sent th team into the desert didn't kno about the operation. >> that was a legitimate scanda that implicated the entire u.s. government. people actually have power, not retiree sitting in jail because of what they did on ask january 6. eric holder was the very center of it. but if holder refused to comply with the subpoena from the congress. did the fbi arrest eric holder for that? please. he was never even seriously considered. holder

but all jokes towards a recession are inevitable, but even biden's former companions in the obama administration say otherwise, given the unemployment rate and especially inflation, and it is above 8.6% of which there have not been 40 years in the states, the figures show biden is leading the economy countries into recession from the first days of the presidency. look at the graph that we have, inflation was rising a year before the war started. in ukraine , many economists say the reasons for the huge budget spending. six trillion dollars you were throwing money around during covid. although you have been warned this will lead to inflation. how are you going to return the trusted population. well , you just need to take a peek at what's going on around the world with the two-factor inflation pandemic. and putin yes, but it looks like you can't control it and influence it biden inflation call the crisis in the economy, new york post in the price surge. sheets blame not their russian president the era of biden disaster for the western world in many ways, the biden presidency can be called the mos

guest: it started in previous administrations. the obama admistration asserted regulatory authority on e-cigarettes for the first time in 2016. these had not been regulated by the fda previously. that was a priority of t obama administration to say we will relate this. there were several years that they got companies to submit applications. there wasn't action for several years. the process moved forward and there was a lot of discussion under one fda commissioner in rticular who talked abo trying to courage cigarette smokers to stick to less harmful options. also during that time, vaping became a significant problem. the fda took several actions to try to rein in the underage vaping than the oh biden administration came in and they have several policies looking at the dustry from the cigarette side and the e-cigarette site. host: jennifer malone is joining us from the wall street jonal. this is from aaron in michigan. caller: i'm wondering why the fda is such a vendettas against juul but they don't go after flavored disposables which are t

personnel to financial matters and is -- has formally held senior national security roles in the obama administration, special assistant to the president and was the national security senior director of defense. secretary christine wormuth also served as the deputy under secretary of defense for strategy, plans, and forces, including the 2014 quadrennial defense review. she has also served as the under secretary of defense for politics, advising the secretary of defense on a range of functional and regional issues. i would be remiss not to mention that she also served as the founding director of the resilience center, striving for sustainable solutions to climate, migration, and security problems. sec., thank you for taking on the myriad security challenges now facing the nation. moderating the conversation today is vivian, who serves as a national security reporter at "the wall street journal," having covered foreign-policy and national security for two decades and has reported from 70 nations. before i hand it over to secretary wormuth for keynote remarks, i would like to remind everyone that this

did the epa also have authority to do something that the obama administration wanted to do?ich is to save the utilities. one way you can meet the goals and reducing pollution is to shift more of your generation toward cleaner sources like wind and solar, and away from coal-fired sources. did the epa have authority to order regulations that would do that, and today by a vote of 6- 3, the supreme court said no. there is no way to read the existing statutes to that authority for the epa, and a part of the rolling that has the potential to limit the ability of regulatory agencies across the city to do more. it said when the agencies want to do something that involves a major decision like this, major question, there has to be exquisite authority from congress to do it. that is what today's decision has a potentially wider impact. let me touch on one other thing that i think is going to get more attention in the days to come. that is the case of the supreme court today agreed to take, agreed to decide a case from north carolina that the public urged the court to take, involved a

i did of course serve in the obama administration. scientists should be doing in the political realm is provide advice, analysis options but not make the decisions. and i've tried to do that when i was in the i private sector andn the government. i think it's best if we try to stay apolitical as does the military and the judiciary. many of my colleagues don't subscribe to that unfortunately. when you get politician industry leaders very different kind of conversation that's all i'll say. >> he mentioned how soon do you see that coming on? >> the whole climate agenda has now taken a backseat given what has happened in ukraine. what has happened with the energy system. in the energy supply is think were going to start to see it already in the midtermt elections. certainly the 2024 elections. >> okay. what do most climate models assume about feedback? how likely if those are w assumptions are correct of what does it mean for forecasting if they are wrong? can you first define it? >> okay. cloud feedback happens in different ways. it is t

peacekeepers facing the more challenging circumstances than the ones we dealt with in the obama administration, the rise in militia, new atrocities carried out in the democratic republic of congo, we made a lot of investments in the obama years because we wanted to see more civilian protection in getting european military involved and getting female police officers on the prevalence of sexual violence even carried out on civilians, so horrifying. this administration is trying to re-up that kind of effort to ensure that the peacekeepers who are out there trying to prevent atrocities have the tools they need to protect civilians but it is challenging because a lot of time and momentum was lost. >> host: i want to turn to member questions. i would be remiss, the start of the january 6th hearings, usaid is focused on promoting democratic values abroad. do you think the example america sets at home has any impact on how other countries view democracy, both in your role now and as a longtime humanitarian how concerned are you about elections in which candidates are not only running but winning conte

we think about policy under the obama administration. every administration is going to come in and tackle executive order that they didn't like from the previous president. there is a procedural way it has to be handled. we saw that when the supreme court look at the trump administration's attempt to get rid of daca and found that they had not followed the letter of the law trying to get that done for their going to be questions about whether this remain in mexico policy attempt by the by demonstration to roll that back, whether it meets the criteria that exists out there that the court has recognized a pertains to rolling back executive orders. it can go to immigration and beyond when it comes to how the president handles the executive orders of their predecessors. the epa has far reaching implications. we will see of the court decides their meaning that in today. she >> dana: shannon bream is going to be ready in the next minute or so to find out what that opinion is. joining us also is jonathan turley. jonathan, i know we have these tw

the biden administration has moved back closer to where the obama administration was but not fully thereother countries say, if cuba isn't invited, we're not going to attend as well. >> we'll see how this plays out. >>> coming up next, right now on capitol hill, members of the house judiciary committee are writing up gun administration. we'll talk to madeleine dean, who's on the committee, about what's in the package. on the co on the co what's in the package. what goes on it. usually. and in it. mostly. here to meet those high standards is the walgreelth and wellness brand. over 2000 high quality products. rigorously tested by us. real world tested by you. and delivered to your door in as little as one hour. the unknown is not empty. it's a storm that crashes, and consumes, replacing thought with worry. but one thing can calm uncertainty. an answer. uncovered through exploration, teamwork, and innovation. an answer that leads to even more answers. mayo clinic. you know where to go. moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. mayo clinic. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with

holder had refused to turn over documents showing how the obama administration had armed the mexican drug cartelsobstra. you remember that one of the firearms they sent to mexico and the so-called fast and furious program was then used to murder a u.s. border patrol officer. >> it was a scandal atme the time. in case you don't recall. terry died in december 2010, killed by guns tied to an obama administration plan that mexicans scandal officials claiming executive privilege emails contained in the house oversight committee's report showed top officials knew the atf sent guns to mexico evenh. before terry's death.order pa even the border patrol, whichtr sent terry's team into the desert, didn't know about the operation. l so that was a legitimate scandal that implicated the entire u.s. government, people who actually have powergo ,not the retirees sitting in jail because of what they did on january six . buttwh people with actual powerl and eric holder was the very center ofer it. but holder refused to comply with a subpoena from the congress. did the fbi arrest eric holder for that ?

she served as an economist under the obama administration in the labor department.an hit you when things are down and it can hit you when things are up, when the economy is moving quickly. it is just simply more people than the goods and services that are available. the president is making the argument that if we had to deal with inflation, which is bad, we are in a better place to deal with it then we could be. >> oh, absolutely. it is a good thing to have a job. it is a good thing to see wage growth and it's a good thing for people to see the enormous numbers of opportunities out there with employers having record numbers of job openings. with that means is that you really have a chance to look around and find the right job for you, when that is going to be a great match for your skills, when that will provide you the wages that you want. and maybe one that lets you live near family or friends, one that allows you to enable you to provide childcare or elder care. it's a great time to get the job that you want. so, that is good for a lot of people. now, this is als

the list we heard from him heading up to the task force during the obama administration.alking about assault weapons, talking about a registry, red flag loss. these kind of things have bipartisan support among voters. and more importantly, talking to the american people and channeling their frustration. the administration thinks it went well, that the speech did what it was supposed to do. the problem is and what you did not hear was executive action he is thinking of doing. in the white house, they have felt the did what they can do, and hands are tied due to the executive action. they have four different haunches of executive action on guns and safety laws. they cannot do much more. they are now worried watching members of congress go through what we have seen over and over again, a bipartisan effort, come together to help something happens, and waiting on pins and needles to see if it does. >> the president at one point said "i told you what i want to do, the question is what will congress do?" that is squarely on your bd, all eyes on the bipartisan lawmakers. what mor

but when he is leaning and, as he did with the obama administration.es, and declared during the 2016 russian interference campaign, that the election would be rigged. the obama administration flinched and did not declare what russia was doing. he did the same thing to bob mueller. he leaned in, created artificial by, lines says don't go after my finances, and created an artificial deadline, and they closed the invents investigation. so you have to aggressively pursue justice with donald trump. that is why i called this a season of legal reckoning because you are starting to see these different pursuits that are gonna keep him at it, really a legal terrorist on his heels. that's where he belongs. >> congressman eric swalwell, thank you for joining us tonight, and ja'han jones, think you are grabbing my attention to the story, this morning, really appreciate. it thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> coming up, the cover-up now has a schedule. six months, that is how long the district attorney in you've all day promised to keep secret everything

i spoke to a young woman who said, they could've codified roe during the obama administration, right? when obama had full control of house and senate. in fact, the obama administration did not do that. why did they not do that then? we are here because of that. i think to a certain extent, folks say we are here for two reasons. because the republicans, the gop, folks who have been fighting to overturn roe for a long time had a sustained, continued, obviously successful effort. we also are here because democrats grew a bit complacent when it came to roe, taking roe, for granted. thinking this will never happen, because it is precedent. because in fact, they trusted the supreme court justices at their word, and those folks need to be held accountable. and it folks, i have to say, they are not necessarily surprised either. i think that in and of itself is also part of this entire conversation. >> yasmin vossoughian, yasmin, thank. you stand by, i know you will come back later on the show. i mentioned a member of congress who was standing by, democratic california congressman is standing

the traditional nomination which has been very radical even if we just compare them to the obama administration nominees these are really different even from those although you reexercise great scrutiny that you are very thorough but we cannot count on that whichic also speaks that the radical left has become so radical. >> and further radicalized because of the institution higher education education generally and off it is lazy or reckless or sloppy. that in turn is made them too aggressive for their own t good. >> thank you very much and the atlantic put out an article on this topic on the supreme court and its future. line is they accuse the supreme court of developing an idea of judicial supremacy in order to prevent rights to newly freed african-americans out of you can speak to that is not in the constitution and what the founders intended. can you speak to that quick. judicial supremacy i've never heard of a consistent definition i'm not entirely sure what people mean but the supreme court does have the ultimate authority properly brought before the jurisdiction so that means as to what
