it started to the obama administration but came to know decision but the trump's -- trump administration decided to start with the permits. lawsuits ensued and it did not get completed, the reviews and legal challenges before president left. on day one bite and said i would cancel the project. host: the company at that point had moved on? guest: it had. you basically kill a project by increasing cost by delaying until the developer throws her hands up in the errands as it is time to move on and i am losing too much money. host: talk about where it was and why was it important. guest: it was important because it did not follow the trajectory of the original keystone but cut through from alberta through north dakota and south dakota. it would have picked up oil from one region that is desperately needed, american crude oil. host: that is in? guest: the north, south and -- the north and south dakota and wyoming area. it could lower coasts that it did not happen. it is put on railcars and things that are frankly more expensive and less safe. the extension would of gone down to oklahoma and j

executive director, the middle east policy council and former congressional advisor in the obama administration. first, the latest headlines... president biden says negotiators are on the brink of a deal to secure the release of hostages and achieve a ceasefire in gaza. israeli and hamas negotiating teams are reportedly working in the same building in guha. firefighters are preparing for wind gusts to pick up again in los angeles, with fears they could spread devastating fires further into residential areas. sir keir starmer says artificial intelligence will boost economic growth and deliver public services more efficiently. he's been outlining his government's plans to make the uk a world leader in the field. the bbc finds some workers in china making clothes forfast fashion brand, shein, are labouring more than 75 hours a week. factory workers said most had just one day off a month. shein — one of the world's biggest fashion retailers — says it's committed to ensuring the fair and dignified treatment of all workers. three wildfires are still burning in los angeles, with 2a people now known to

allowed these plans to offer more consumer protections than the obama administration did. the biden administration stripped away those protections, throwing sick people out of their insurance, leaving them with nothing. next trump should reinvigorate that eo and restore consumer protections. not to say everything they did was good. they expanded the medicare program by covering telehealth. th covid. now congress is trying to take that expansion permanent. the trump administration should revoke that. the trump administration made it easier for health care providers and insurance companies to game federal payment rules, get subsidies for more services under the guise of protecting and improving medicare. the trump administration should amend that eo to direct cms to try real medicare reforms rather than these provisions. seven of these eo's, i contributed to this book. the government does a lot in health care. the executive ends up issuing a lot of eo's. eo's are not going to fix what is ailing health care. they might make a small difference. what we need is congression

from administration to administration, whether it is ours or the trump administration or the obama administration, there has been a shared determination that remains to ensure that iran does not get a nuclear weapon, one way or another. i am convinced that just as our administration had that policy, the next administration will, too. >> given the success the israelis have had in lebanon recently, how fearful are you that they decide this is the time to clean up all the issues in the neighborhood and go after iran? >> i think from israel's perspective, the success that they have had in dealing a terrible blow to hezbollah and of course to hamas in the wake of the holders of october 7 but also at great human cost to the children, the women, the men in gaza who have been caught in this crossfire that hamas is making, but the damage that has been done to hamas, hezbollah, and iran from of the wake of the second direct attack on israel, israel's response, very focused, very calibrated, and very effective in taking out iranian air defenses. that has put in a very challenged position. so from israel's p

the trump administration allowed these plans to offer more consumer protections than the obama administration did previously. the -- the biden administration came in and stripped away those protections, throwing out of health insurance after they get sick and leaving them with nothing. the next trump administration should reinvigorate executive order order. that's not to the say that everything that the trump administration did with executive orders was good, they expanded the medicare program by covering telehealth which is something that congress had not covered previously. they did this during covid for covid reasons and now congress is trying to take that expansion and make it permanent. the trump administration should revoke that expansion. also, they -- the trump administration made it easier for healthcare providers and insurance companies to game federal payment rules and subsidies for more services through, the trump administration should amend that executive order to direct cms to try new medical reforms rather than rent-seeking provisions the trump administration put in. and i will

if you look at the text over the last number of years, really starting with the obama administration but ramping up significantly under trump and biden, you have long sections at the beginning of the orders which are essentially press releases, preambles or policy sections that lay out what the president wants to achieve and it is not actually clear that it being achieved is the important part. the president want us -- wants to say i am ordering this to be done and if it does not get done there is some hope that the public might not notice that as romantically. host: an executive order is enforceable as long as the action is within the president's constitutional authority. give us something as -- and ask that -- give us an example of something that will fall within and without that authority. guest: let me just say that executive orders are literally orders to the executive branch. so, a member of the public would not receive an order from the president in that form. indeed, the president does not have the power to order you to do anything unless you are an active member of the armed

that president biden took on climate are much more durable than when he would seen under the obama administration. a lot of things that president obama did towards the end of his term on climate environments were taken with executive action. that's relatively easy for president trump to come in in the 1st german overturn. by contrast, president biden did a lot of rule making that legally durable and pushed a lot of money out the door for climate and environment that you can't pull back in . and do you expect them to pull us out of a paris climate agreement? again, i do expect to see that. yeah. or what's the look you, you worked with the obama and by the ministration. i can't think of a single other policy issue where we have seen such a big swings, right. but us in paris, climate agreement, the us is out of it, back in the parents climate agreement. probably back out of it. yeah. what does this all mean for the, for the fight against climate change while you know, and you're seeing this is exhausting people, not just people who care about climate, passionately, not just talking about tree hugger

history, the obama administration and the biden administration included. but what happens is, when you're doing that, you set a threshold. what type of crime is a serious crime that we're going to prioritize? are we going to arrest what we call collaterals, individuals that we encounter when we're going after the criminal, who may not have any nexus to the criminal justice system? so the trump administration has lowered the threshold, including individuals charged with less, you know, serious offenses like traffic offenses or people who have not been convicted. secondly, they've been very clear that when they when they go to a house, if they find anybody who's undocumented there, everyone will be arrested, regardless of whether or not they have any nexus to the criminal justice system. >> well, talk to me more about what you just called collaterals, because tom homan said, quote, you know, i don't think we arrested any families. we've arrested public safety threats and national security threats. bottom line. >> yeah. i mean, when you often times when you'r

jessica, what exists now and has since 2014 under the obama administration is what's called a global health security effort, which is a number of the w.h.o. countries joining together and actually training one another. people are adopting countries in remote parts of the world so that we have the ability to find disease outbreaks, that we can share that information very quickly, that we have trained personnel. that effort is relatively new, but now includes, i think, 50 countries across the globe and is really effective trying to make sure that we are now not hobbled by epidemics, breaking out by pandemics that sweep the globe. so those are new, updated efforts. and again, the united states withdrawing financial support, medical expertise, collaboration with this world organization can only be harmful to americans. >> all right. kathleen sebelius, thanks so much for your time. we appreciate it. >> sure. good to talk to you. >> you, too. when we come back, we are talking to new york's inspector general about president trump's decision to fire more than a dozen independent government w

. >> was during the obama administration they stole the design as they got it from us.e bad person gave it to them and we are doing super hypersonic which is a step better and they build them. while they got them during the obama administration anywhere else sold plenty from biden we will hear about that but still the hypersonic stuff and made hypersonic. >> will you have the resources for the next-generation oval or fare i don't think we will fight those on battlefields. has drones are more important and bringing into the administration i talked to somebody and said that saying like any said it's good if you don't like the pilot who flies it and the chances of him coming back are very small. technology is changing and we have to be in the front of it. you said that a bit ai which i believe is brilliant. you put out a truth on vladimir putin today and you seemed to have a relationship with him and we are talking about ending this war in europe. and ended quickly quickly. how quickly can end. it should end immediately i would've talked to putin about it as was the apple

operations we've seen really since the creation of i.c.e., something we used a lot during the obama administration. we're using the biden administration. there are key differences here. however, the main difference is in the targeting, identifying which types of migrants to go after and how serious of a crime are you going to prioritize versus, you know, people might have been charged with traffic offenses or low level misdemeanors. so those are the primary functions in terms of the volume, though. one is obviously when you expand your target list, you're going to increase a little bit the number of arrests you make. but two and more critically, are what we call collateral arrests. when you go to a home where you've identified one of your primary target lives, oftentimes you find they're not the only undocumented immigrant living in the home. they might have family members who are undocumented. they might be in a group home with other migrants in the biden administration or obama administration. you don't take those people into custody unless they also pose a threat to public safety. you know, hav

and there were there were moments when the obama administration used commercial aircraft, civilian airliners example, charter flights to to fly migrants back to their countries of origin. is there is there perhaps an image that this trump administration wants to get across by using these military assets and putting pictures out there? >> yeah, i don't discount the fact that there's a lot of politics involved here, right? and releasing these images, demonstrating the president's following through on his word. but look, the the practical reality is, is that i.s.i.s. resourced to deport about 250 to 400,000 people a year. you don't call on the military transport, you know, flights, you don't direct the secretary of defense to enhance the detention space of dhs unless you're anticipating a deportation that's much larger than any we've ever seen before, much bigger than the 250 to 400,000 we've historically seen from ice. >> and, john, your response to what we're hearing out of newark, new jersey, the mayor there saying that u.s. citizens were among those detained in an ice operation yesterday. c

if you look at the text over the last number of years, really starting with the obama administration but ramping up significantly under trump and biden, you have long sections at the beginning of the orders which are essentially press releases, preambles or policy sections that lay out what the president wants to achieve and it is not actually clear that it being achieved is the important part. the president wants to say i am ordering this to be done and if it does not get done there is some hope that the public might not notice that as romantically. host: an executive order is enforceable as long as the action is within the president's constitutional authority. give us an example of something that will fall within and without that authority. guest: let me just say that executive orders are literally orders to the executive branch. so, a member of the public would not receive an order from the president in that form. indeed, the president does not have the power to order you to do anything unless you are an active member of the armed services. the general rule is that presidents are

if you look at the obama administration, as you noted earlier, it did have certainly we had more deportations, certainly, than the trump administration. but we had these same types of rules in place where we said, hey, if somebody's been in this country a long time, they have u.s. citizen children, and let's say they get caught for driving without a license because they couldn't get a driver's license because they're undocumented. we're not going to treat that person as a high priority just because they had a brush with the criminal justice system. instead, what i want is i want ice officers putting in the time and effort to find that transnational gang member who's out there on the street committing violent crimes, who's hard to find. but instead of burning our resources, going to get that traffic offender, let's go get that tough guy, right, and get him off the streets, even though it takes more time. so i think, again, when tom says we're taking the handcuffs off, what he's really saying is, you know, they're reducing these policies, but that doesn't mean they're promoting public safety an

and for over two years i worked with the obama administration to expand medicaid, to expand head start and healthy nutrition programs for families that needed those supports because of the exposure to lead. because of that work in 2016 despite the fact, serving in the minority, i was able to secure $170 million in an aid package to help replace those terrible lead service lines to create the registry and expand health care services. and i will be forever grateful to nancy pelosi then our democratic leader who recognized that the democratic votes were needed to pass a year i have end budget bill and departmentized me to go finish the deal. she sent me over to meet directly with speaker ryan and we were able to include that single democratic priority in that budget bill that provided the aid to the families of flint. so, as i also prepare to leave congress, i am frequently asked what will i miss the most. it's not hard to list the things i won't miss. it's also not tough to list those things i'll miss the most. and it's the friendships that i have made in this body. so i want to thank my

jeremy konyndyk is the president of refugees international, he previously led the obama administration'snse to international disasters. thank you forjoining me. as we saw in that report palestinians in gaza focused on returning home and is not going to any other third party country? there are many things wrong with president trump �*s comments, not least he endorsed ethnic cleansing, at its core palestinians do not want to go elsewhere in the countries around don't want to take them in, it's not really any kind of reliable option for. palestinian groups in the area accused the president of advocating ethnically engine as you alluded to for these proposals to move people from gaza to other countries, as he does not read the room here? it's a little hard to know if he was making a policy pronouncement orjust speaking pronouncement or just speaking off pronouncement orjust speaking off the cuff, we will learn more in the coming days. if he were to proceed with this, there would be huge implications for us relationships in the middle east, the signature middle east foreign achievement of his

letters of endorsement one of which is signed from both sides of the aisle the obama administration without objection so ordered. i asked unanimous 200 to the record bipartisan support letter bob told george. without objection. so ordered. congrats to both of you and thank you for your willingness to serve. >> a long resume with development programs and the silent housing crisis as long as part of america's time citizens into the arts included manufacturing ohio communities and we have seen the administration threatened reform and take away health insurance from 23 million people and 11 million renters pay over half their income and rent. one thing) their lives and they effectively and their children how to vote a different school. 500,000 people are homeless and eliminate funding for 250,000 next year and lead exposure 99% of the homes have led. tomorrow is one of five or six who voted for legislation. his budget about the president promised across the country to revitalize inner cities. i hope we can strengthen our nation while providing good jobs in ohio. the budget will only add and i l

he previously led the obama administration�*s response to international disasters. comments about gaza. many things wrong with president trump �*s comments not least he seemed to endorse ethnic cleansing, at its core palestinians do not want to go elsewhere in the countries around do not want to take them, it is not really any kind of viable option.— of viable option. palestinian urou -s of viable option. palestinian grouns and _ of viable option. palestinian groups and arab _ of viable option. palestinian groups and arab league - of viable option. palestinian - groups and arab league accusing president trump of advocating ethnic cleansing for these proposals to remove people from gaza to other countries, has president trump not read the room here? it�*s president trump not read the room here?— president trump not read the room here? �*, ., ., ~ ., room here? it's hard to know he was making _ room here? it's hard to know he was making a — room here? it's hard to know he was making a policy _ was making a policy pronouncement or speaking of the cup, we will learn mor

i'm thinking back also to a chuck hagel during the obama administration. he he was not prepared, uh, of the former nebraska senator, i'm from there, obviously have covered him a long time. he looked like he didn't prepare at all, just going in there to sit at the senate. so i think that these nominees will be prepared. but the degree to which they're not, i think if it does expose their qualifications for these positions, that's probably the biggest damaging thing of all. but look, we've said this a lot. this is donald trump's republican party, totally different than 2017. and these are loyal nominees to him. so yes, they will largely get through. >> and catherine, it's the republican party, of course. but then the question that this is going to help to start to answer is how democrats are going to approach, approach a republican rule, particularly the trump years .2.0. chuck schumer, it's reported that he said privately to democrats. republicans spent four years attacking the democratic brand. and we need to use these hearings to begin to return the favor

he previously led the obama administration's response to international disasters.told me trump's suggestion of moving gaza to neighbouring countries is not very viable. —— moving gazans to neighbouring countries is not very viable. there are many things wrong with president trump's comments, not least that he seemed to endorse ethnic cleansing. at its core, palestinians do not want to go elsewhere and the countries around don't want to take them in, so it's not really any kind of a viable option. palestinian groups and the arab league have accused president trump of advocating ethnic cleansing for these people to move from gaza to other countries. as trump does not read the room? it’s countries. as trump does not read the room?— read the room? it's a little hard to know _ read the room? it's a little hard to know if _ read the room? it's a little hard to know if he - read the room? it's a little hard to know if he was - read the room? it's a little - hard to know if he was making a policy pronouncement orjust speaking off the cuff. i think we will learn more in the

administration, and frankly for the, by the ministration and even towards the tail end of the obama administration is a child who's taking an action after action enough. this is not the us against china. other countries need to protect their sectors against china. you of terrorist coming on china from, from the you, from brazil, from countries in, in south east asia because of the same. i have a fair trade practices that china is using when it comes to electric vehicles. you also have concerns throughout the world, including the united states, but everywhere else about china is excess capacity that they're dumping into markets at this. hollowing out some, some of the industrial bases that, that you see in the us and you see elsewhere. so part of this is going to be use the world, you know, it is, you se, asia in parts japan, korea, what are they going to do visa v, china? and then how is china going to react? because if you see this, you know, china plus one this, this diversification of supply chain out of china because of the tariffs, the us has been putting out. it's not just the us and the jap

i, we all agree here that there is continuity with the, with a, a obama administration or a bush administration tolerate genocide. we don't know. okay, that's only a hypothetical thing here, but to, to, to gloss it over in the rules based order. i certainly hope that, that, that term is forever retired. go ahead. alexander. yeah, i think that america has not been taken very seriously by the adults in the room like russia, china, and other emerging economies around the world when the secretary of state flies around the world. and all he produces is a bunch of slogans designed for domestic consumption in america. it's very embarrassing, very embarrassing. but you'll see that when lincoln was in d. c, he would be simply doing the jobs that israel would send him. so his job was to run cover for an engineer. well, well he would like sandra, i mean the phrase is he was israel's lawyer. right? right, right. so he's giving press conferences and explaining that a ceasefire is very close to the all who has agreed to a cease fire in the very same day. nothing yahoo has already announced that he will not a

deputy assistant attorney general in charge of integration and the justice department under the obama administration is why is because a lot of hispanic communities, even those who have family members who are, are documented themselves. they tend to agree with the fact that we have to go after people who have committed crimes in this country. it should be when it comes to like of other people. we can't really get to them until we are able to secure the border. and we're able to prosecute people. okay, what do you mean by other people? sorry. are other people with like undocumented people who have not committed crimes or crimes outside of the just the board across and people who are trying to have their lives here. you know, live the american dream. we can't really focus on them until we really talk about the criminal activity that is perpetrated by a several different criminal aliens. we have to make sure that we check those people out and make that nexus shirts. when undocumented immigrants and criminal activity, who we know within any population group benefits districts, bear this out within any p

bush administration and the obama administration in the first three weeks about a dozen cabinet nominees and trump's first term, democrats loaded down and that it was slowed down again a divided administration we ought to get back to normal because this president has a mandate, a popular mandate in the quorum mandate and he has to deliver in the democrats should realize that and that the cabinet people get in place so this mandate can get underway very quickly until you get the cabinet people in their position this town really doesn't move as quickly as it otherwise would. >> is a good explanation. thank you for that, it is wrong but i understand, you and top congressional leaders have been huddling with the president at the white house this week what can you tell us about the meetings and how close are you as president trump likes to say one big beautiful bill reconciliation bill. >> if we have two big beautiful bills he will use the same adjectives only one number will change and we will get the job done either way and i saw the president on fox news last night for an hour interview. a

this was a success of the obama administration, completed by the trump administration.t caliphate was destroyed. all the territory that they'd taken mile upon mile in iraq and in syria was taken back. it was completed by president trump when raqqa, the last piece that they held, fell. isis was in a box. it's been in a box ever since. but we have to keep it there and keeping it there will also take away from the potency of its propaganda. you're right, of course, that propaganda continues. we see lone wolves who are inspired, but without the success of having a caliphate, of having controlling all this territory, being able to say for the first time we have a terrorist group, isis, that controls territory that really undermines the potency of its message. if that were to change, if we were to allow isis out of the box again, there are 10,000 foreign terrorist fighters, isis fighters who are being controlled, detained in detention centers in syria. we ultimately want to see them get repatriated to their countries of origin, but meanwhile they need to stay locked down. our

as a matter of fact, a few months ago the obama administration spokesperson was hillary clinton, made an offer to the israelis of things that no previous president had ever offered them just if they would stop building settlements for three months. and netanyahu turned him down. and so, as a result of that, i think president obama has basically given up on peace in the middle east. so we don't have anything going on now as far as bringing peace between israel and the the palestinians, or concern over israel and the syrians or between israel and lebanon. nothing's going on. and in the past number of months when omar suleiman who was mubarak's vice president was negotiating between one group of palestinians, fatah and hamas, to bring them together with a reconciliation so they could have another election, the united states basically vetoed that whole process because israel preferred that they not be reunited. so, i don't have any feeling of success in what president obama has done in the middle east. i'm not here to criticize him, but you asked me, and i've told you the truth. my hope i

and you obviously worked on the obama administration. in the biden administration and on both administration, a trump administration and will follows. is there any point in time or was there ever a time when you thought maybe to people just don't see what we do or they don't give us enough credit for what we actually did? yeah. i mean, look, i think the thing with the elections is that it's, you know, the thing with elections is that like it's just the final judge, right? the voters are the final judge. and of course, i could be you know, i mean, i think the aca was was not never popular while we passed it and became really only became popular when it was under attack and was and actually was has was is more popular today than ever. as like as public policy goes, pretty popular. it's like 60%, 58% support. and so you know, like you can look at the last ten years and say president obama lost political power from passing the aca and it may have helped trump win the first time. you know, i think people it didn't contribute. it definitely was

the agency is doing is focusing on very similar operations to what they conducted during the obama administration, during the first trump administration, during the biden administration. and that is scrubbing the records of court records, jail records, probation and parole records looking for anyone who might have a nexus to the criminal justice system and is also deportable, but that somehow ice missed. what they then do is they build target lists. the teams are going out on the streets, knocking on the doors. now there are some differences. the first difference is that the trump administration has lowered the threshold. during the biden administration. you had to be convicted of what was termed a serious crime, and you needed to be convicted of that crime to be a target of these types of operations. the trump administration is taking anyone who's had a brush with the law, whether they've been convicted or not. and then secondly, getting rid of that serious crime. you know, limitation. so individuals who might have been booked on a traffic offense. and then the second issue is what are called co

the democrat party and obama administration and it was really terrible between 2016 wage growth and it was zero and the policies together, but obama people told us normal. in the wrote lower regulation. and 2016, $6000 a family. they actually care about bars. and you saw the wages didn't grow and than they did what it reversed everything? if you really want to, they didn't even care that the little guy was federal vehicle into all the things he said. they care so much about the little guy so we'll hourly wages have declined in the u.s. for 22 months in a row. that's the longest streak on record u.s. history. we never had 22 in a row until we get to joe biden. these people who could in the rule of law and all these things destroy the economy like this. and biden was bragging that this happened on watch. anyway, people who are apparently different ineffective are control right now and a real threat to the future of our country. >> i promise positive what you think we are on stagflation and how you see it laying over the next ten years may be? >> a lot of regard to programs and got to adm

biden's handling of classified documents after his time in the obama administration. and in other news, a federal grand jury in california has charged three people with defrauding elderly authors of nearly $44 million. the scam involved convincing these authors that publishers and filmmakers wanted to turn their books into blockbuster movies, but only if the victim first paid fake transaction and tax fees. the group called itself page turner press and media and had been operating since at least 2017. the fbi identified more than 800 victims of the scam. quote what started with the promise of a hollywood dream turned into a devastating nightmare for victims. that's according to tara mcgrath, us attorney, author should stay vigilant, do their research and think twice before giving money to anyone. promise. sing a blockbuster deal. and there's also a book story from the world of sports in an nfl playoff game. eagles star receiver a.j. brown was seen reading a book while sitting on the bench between plays. it turned out to be a self-help book published in 2020 by author j
