a number of people want to stop the obama administration administration sending aid to egypt. patty culhane has this report. >> reporter: 683 egyptians sentence said to death in a lightening quick trial. that was one step too far for the u.s. senator patrick lay hi, chairman of the committee that approves overseas funding. >> even if i wasn't chairman, i would have been watching the situation with great interest and growing dismay. where hundreds of people can be sentenced to death after a sham trial lasting barely an hour. it's a flaunting of human rights by the egyptian government. it's an appalling abuse of the justice system. which is fundamental to any democracy. nobody, nobody can justify this. he says the u.s. will not help pay for it. he's blocking 650 million in aid. the obama announced it would give to the military for counterterrorism and for upholding the treaty. money it promised after 529 other egyptians were sentenced to death in a trial in march. meeting with egyptian foreign ministers secretary of state john kerry described the cases as scary. for his part, th

administrations. starting with the last days of the soviet union and goes to the current time. you were in the clinton administration. you were in the obama -- the bush administration the state department's on policy planning. tell us, if you look back, clinton administration, bush administration, obama administration, who handled russia better? if you want, of course, you may start with bush won. favorably disposed. >> guest: right. in my book i discuss for resets that we have had since the close of the soviet union. i was in policy planning in the last 18 months of the clinton administration, six months of the bush administration and then the national intelligence. both times when i served in government we were already on the kind of downward slide in the u.s.-russian relationship. i think the first reset was brief because obviously president george h. w. bush did a lot with president yeltsin, but that was very much when the focus and, of course, general scowcroft was the national security adviser -- with best focus was on disarmament, arms control issues, denude keel are rising ukraine and making sure after the collapse of the soviet union then the clear weapons

obama administration. the obama administration says it wasn't us, it was congress. what it does mean is the people aren't getting the refunds because of an abusive stupid government that doesn't know how to do business. >> at this point, let's find out who was responsible and continue pursuing that. that's no excuse. administration should say, okay, we don't know who did it. maybe it was us, maybe it was congress. we're going to stop it. we're not going to make -- there is a story in the washington post that broke the story. 1960 little greiss, marry greiss was four. her father died, left her mother with four children. now all these years later, social security claims it over paid someone in her family, it's not sure who, back in 1977 and after 37 years of silence, they are going after her and she is suing. but the problem is the government now needs to look at ms. greiss and say you know what? never mind this is ridiculous. odds of that happening? >> zero. she owes money, the government will come after her. this is an administration that loves to suspend laws when t

the idea that the obama administration -- do you think the obama administration is anti-press? > i think every administration is anti-press. >> i have known some. >> some more than others. >> i think there is a continuity here. >> is what the framers of the constitution understood. power has a certain tendency to make people want to hold onto power. leaks, particularly of unflattering information, are not welcome by people in power. the problem with the prosecutions, there is this sense that they are arbitrary because there are authorized leaks that are favorable and push one particular line, and then some that are unfavorable, and then prosecuted. so the question is, who gets to define and decide what the american public should hear about what the intelligence community is doing? should the intelligence community get to decide only? should the press get to decide also? and what do you do with dissidents in your ranks who are critics, who feel maybe what they are seeing has crossed some lines, and is wrong, and they want to speak out about it? such an american act to sort of spe

administration in history, and yet he has out done even bush at this point. they have used the whistleblower more than any other administrations combined. and the obama administration invoked national security to deny foia requests -- >> 9,000 times? administration. and they also have the luxury of invoting the nsa act of 1959 which the nsa argues exempts it entirely from the freedom of information act. and the release of records which will paint them in a positive light, unsurprisingly, the nsa only complied with 2% of its requests last year. so absolutely we're facing a crisis. >> our community has tweeted in, and there is a facebook post from andrew . . . and speaking about the nsa, brad tweets in . . . check it out. another reacted document there, lisa. and then rich goes . . . all right. horace i want to go to you. look, ryan mentioned the nine exemptions that the go uses to get out of foia requests. the one used most frequently is documents are in the interest of national security. do you believe the obama has abused that? >> i'm not sure of that. i would settle for if osha or the mine safety health administration or epa or department of transportation, if th

obama administration thing. when everybody sitting here knows this goes on in every single administration. i don't care what party they're from. >> but sabrina look at the examples. this is more than administrative action, executive action that we have seen more of in some other administrations. the changes in obamacare, for example. >> right. >> 38 changes and delays in obamacare. 38. this is not executive action. these are ways of going around congress. >> and it's not insignificant either. james madison had it right. if men were angel there is would be no need for government but government needs to control itself. you have corruption and you have problems. i think the real reason, to rick's point that people are look at the administration and criticizing it is this is a president that ran on transparency and change and making washington better. yet every week there's another lie or corruption and another misleading stat and another change to existing laws. >> and despite all of those promises we had a good friend, he came out with this report in 2010, by the way, suggesting ways you can

but now there's a general pattern that's developed that the administration wants to do, both the bush administration and the obama administration. they want to narrow the field of national security reporting. they want to make it very difficult for anyone to pursue stories outside of accepted boundaries that the administration are you and you >> that is, to make him what they're trying to do. they are trying to create a path for exceptional reporting and if you were a reporter go outside of those parameters, you will be youshed and the sources were trying to deal with will be prosecuted. that is essentially what i think they're trying to do. act,e a de facto secrets through the use of the justice cia, and thehe white house, i think are , in a sense to, without congressional approval, be able to make sure every story that comes out about national security something that make the makes thee look good, cia look good, and any story that does not make them look good or does not help the local the people involved in the story will be punished. that is the end result. if you look back at the kind of and bush have tried to put out in t

this was really the obama administration far beyond the bush administration.they were sending the most chilling messages. it was actually a laser bleeding -- you focus using me as the cut up to say, press, we are onto to you. we know who your sources are. one thing i did not tell you, and this is not come out fully either, there was a special secret program at nsa after 9/11. it was originally known as first for -- fruits. it was meant to spy on journalists and reporters. find your sources. if we can freeze at your source, guess what? we have the mainstream media reporters in our back pocket. we give them privileged access to hear. >> just so we don't get too despairing here, tell them what the judge. >> 14 months later, the case collapses on the evil public trial. for history, that was scheduled for june 13, 2011. the 40th anniversary to the date of the publication of the pentagon papers. dan ellsberg himself had already made planes -- plans to fight in baltimore and stand on the steps of the federal district courthouse in downtown baltimore and give civic le

what does the obama administration have to say about the worrying and new developments. >> this is what obama administration and top administration officials warned of for weeks, calling ut a fifth column of russia going into these regions, the ethnically russian areas where russian speakers predominate and causing trouble, using it as a pretext to have the troops massed on the border for weeks come into eastern ukraine and have this be another scenario identical to what happened in crimea. at the white house the spokesman jay carney raised the speck ter that he is are paid instigators, they come from the outside. at the state department, the spokeswoman said john kerry had another call with his counterpart and they talked about the incidents in eastern ukraine and larger issues involving crimea. here is a state department account of that. >> he noted that ukrainian government leaders are on route to the cities to negotiate the evacuation of government buildings. he called on russia to publicly disavow the activities of separatists, provocateurs, called for dialogue and called on all parties to refrain from

>> it's like a parlor game that's being played, it's been played by the obama administration, bush administrations a parlor game that no one knows quite the right answer to. finding facts on this is difficult. it's clear there are government documents that show the estimations running from ten, to 40, to 70 million dollars. >> the treasure department has said they believe he has holdings in gun for. >> they do a lot of work in oil and mining, a lot of commodities. gunvor had a principal owner long associated being close with putin. he's since he's relynn kwishd his oldings in the company and at the same time the company itself is denying any kind of investments or holding or ownership on behalf of putin. >> does he live like a man with expensive tastes and ability to afford them. it's hard to ask that of a world leader. his earnings are $102,000 the equivalent there of per year. >> on paper. >> is he a man of lavish tastes. >> he lives large. i don't think anyone will dispute that. >> if it were revealed that he's much like the oligarchs and at a time when the russian economy struggling and we ha

if you mention that to the obama administration, the administration officials says this has nothing todo with countering china but some of that is going on. what is going to be interesting, don, at the end of this trip, we are on the third leg of it, is to see how many deliverables the president brings back to washington. he is going to have a lot to show for this trip or was this a makeup for the asia trip cancelled last fall because of the government shutdown and touching bases the u.s. has not seen in a long time and his administration has not been to so we have to take an assessment of that when the trip is over which is getting very soon. we are almost to the end of it. >> watch for the moths. we seen them flying around there. we don't them to get to you. >> a little distracting. >>> so much hope could soon be drawing to a close. the blue-fin first flight for 370 is almost over and no progress in the hunt for the missing airliner. al best before going for a world record. good is swinging to get on base before swinging for a home run.

activist policy the and found himself rather unwelcome in the obama administration and arguing for the policy based on the previous clinton administration before the bush administration before the retrenchment of the obama administration. but it is often through the state department when i worked in the state department in different presidencies of reagan and clinton, of course, you have different perspectives but the state department is generally for a large role for the united states with international affairs a larger role for them. simple as that. more complicated than that the you put it that simple and not be so wrong. afghanistan your chronicle of your policy makes me want to repeat who said american policy does not change? does continuity is not a source of success in afghanistan but characteristic of its. to more specifically how it maximalist responses? it depends on the challenge. that is thought to be before the president at the time but it tends to involve a pretty comprehensive approach just done military response more foreign assistance more institution building. if it is characteristic of maximalists some in different ph

now,ed administration, the obama administration -- now, the administration, the obama administration, has made some real progress on this issue over the last year. but it is still the case that guantanamo is a rallying cry for extremists around the world and until we transfer and try these detainees there is no denying that guantanamo is in fact hurting our national security. we need to re-evaluate our response to the long-term threat of terrorism and realize that policies that mark the rule -- mock the rule of law make it more likely rather than less likely that we will be attacked again. how can we expect americans who are captive abroader to accorded the right to be sentenced and brought to while when we hold 154 prisoners in guantanamo without charge and without trial? some of my colleagues are going to argue that detaining or trying suspected terrorists in the united states would endanger national security. but it's not the case. more than 400 defendants charged with crimes related to international terrorism have been successfully convicted in the united states since 9/11. that i

administrations i think we should take her word for it when she says things are different. consumers see there is difference how the press pursued the obama administration and bush administration benghazi issue i think it is important to look who is running the show here. ben rhodes is a deputy national security advisor at the white house and just so happens that his brother, david rhodes is the president of cbs news. so you can't ignore those coincidences as well when it comes to how the coverage is being made. and you know, it is really unfair that she is getting jerked around in this way of them just not straight up saying we're not airing the story instead of dragging her out. she left because she is better than that she has a lot more credibility and her stories deserve to be on air. martha: jessica, what do you think? >> i think possibly if she had come forth now and there was some sort of smoking gun o, youe had where she could pinpoint it and say they didn't run this in particular and because of that they have an done a disjustice to viewers and news consumers to people in general i think that would be a different situation. i think we would see something where certain

what role does the obama administration pay getting this data out there publicly? >> well, the obama administration has been on record supporting transparency and healthcare . they've done a better administration bringing sunlight to the healthcare industry. and this is the latest. i think for a lot of us they're keeping the promise they made to change things up. the way healthcare is working isn't working. it's great that they have the guts to do this today. >> what is the justice department doing in cases of fraud and abuse? >> there has been an up tick in the federal government's efforts to stop fraud and put in systems that can detect fraud earlier. one of the raps the way medicare and medicaid for that matter as well policed the medical profession it was often difficult to recover the money, they put in programs to detect suspicious billing practices before billions of dollars have gone out the door. but unquestionably there has been an increase in efforts to combat fraud. >> as a clinician doctors have a lot of over head. they have--they're making everything from having to buy medicine to pas

. >> and when it comes to drones, peter, and you look at the obama administration and the bush administration see a difference in their approach? >> it's huge, randi. on to president bush, there was one drone strike in yemen. under president obama, there have been around 90 drone strikes and about 15 cruise missile strikes. president obama has launched incredibly aggressive campaign in yemen. and that's because most people agree that the threat from al qaeda and yemen is the one most troubling to the united states right now. >> all right. peter bergen, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you, peter. >>> an international deal to ease tensions in the ukraine sparked in ukraine rather, sparked hope this past week that a solution to the crisis was in sight. but escalating violence and pushback from pro-russian demonstrators have a lot of experts worried, diplomacy will not be enough. >> candy crowley is the host of "state of the union" and joins us live from washington. good morning, candy. >> good morning. >> tell us more about that. what do you have coming up? >> we have, actually, the to

obama administration inherited programs and funding that supported those, and he kept all those in place. all of those trends have continued. all three of them have accelerated under the obama administration. that's a broad sense in which the administration has been very tough on immigration enforcement. the other thing the obama administration has done is create new, explicitly articulated enforcement priorities and guidelines for prosecutorial discretion. what that has done is while keeping in place enforcement tools, this administration has focused on priority cases. cutting to the bottom line, that has resulted in enforcement. the priorities, there are three priorities. one is recent, illegal entrants and repeat immigration offenders. as the third is convicted criminals. the main reason it has produced differences as the border and within in the interior, they are not getting these guidelines. they are apprehended at the border. most everybody at the border is pipelines.e of these formally removed or face criminal charges or both. interior, many people bit identified through programs are not viewed as priorities. they are not getting put in a these tough type lines. this set of priori

obama administration. the reality about the obama administration, there was very intensive policy process, and that continues to this day. from secretary clinton to jim steinberg when he was deputy national or deputy secretary of state, even jack lew as deputy secretary of state, they got pulled into five or six deputy committee meetings on a daily basis. at some point, a couple of my colleagues of the assistant secretary level were saying, do you have any more meetings? we will be able to do what they've told us to do because by the time we get out of a policy meeting, they have gone to bed and region x, y, or z. there is tremendous coordination. in the public diplomacy cents, i have daily interactions with my c andagues at the nf others. i knew whatever was in my book --dow to the podium to brief when i went to the podium to brief, the policy guys at defense and nfc had seen and strangled, in many cases, the language i had in the book. in fact, one of my friends was in charge of western hemispheres affairs, when he would see the daily guidance, he would say, who is briefing today? if he found out was made,

the idea that the obama administration -- do you think the obama administration is anti-press? > i think every administration is anti-press. >> i have known some. >> some more than others. >> i think there is a continuity here. >> is what the framers of the constitution understood. power has a certain tendency to make people want to hold onto power. leaks, particularly of unflattering information, are not welcome by people in power. the problem with the prosecutions, there is this sense that they are arbitrary because there are authorized leaks that are favorable and push one particular line, and then some that are unfavorable, and then prosecuted. so the question is, who gets to define and decide what the american public should hear about what the intelligence community is doing? should the intelligence community get to decide only? should the press get to decide also? and what do you do with dissidents in your ranks who are critics, who feel maybe what they are seeing has crossed some lines, and is wrong, and they want to speak out about it? such an american act to sort of spe

administration as if it is making some sort of political statement rather than doing our jobs as watch dogs. i didn't run into that same kind of sentiment as i did in the obama administration what i covered the bush administration very aggressively on the freedom and lack of information and poor management of the food and drug administration, the halliburton questions of fraud. the bait and switch of t.a.r.p., the bank bailout program. all of those stories under bush were met with a good reception. these were different managers. nobody accused me of being a mouthpiece for the liberals at that time. >> let me make sure i understand. you aggressively reported on various bush administration problems and scandals and those pieces by and large got on the air but in the obama administration, not so much. that would suggest there is a political aspect to it? >> i think there is a political aspect on the part of some people. cbs news is not a mono lit thick organization. we know we have a lot of different personalities. we have bosses that are at their heart great journalists but don't let that play. in the bigger picture, there is a tendency to avoid certain controversy, because of the pushback and the well-o well-orc

30th major player who has either left journalism and gone on to support the obama administration or has left the obama administrationlls himself or herself an objective journalist. >> we have a top five. for example -- look nbc, they're basically just an extension of the obama press office. now you're pointing out -- i didn't know this -- you have two of their anchors that literally work for obama have full hours of their own on the obama channel on nbc? >> farrow worked for the obama administration. joy-ann and him both presenting themselves as anchors. what you need to do as a requirement is to recuse yourself from that of which you are intimately involved with. >> do they identify themselves -- i would argue that i am the only conservative that says he's a conservative that as a nightly news cable show. i don't know any other cable host that identifies themselves as a conservative. i'm a registered conservative. >> conservatives never have that problem. ru if you're not going to recuse yourself, then disclose you used to work for the man. >> the person that's become the biggest hack though -- frankly, if he had c

obama administration. >> there's always been calls from the white house under any administration, i assume, when they don'tike a particular story but it's particularly aggressive under the obama administration. i think it's a campaign very well organized. it's designed to have a chilling effect and to some degree has been getting somewhat sufficiently -- successful in getting broadcast producer to don't want to deal with the headache of it. >> this is the first time that somebody has come out and said it. she no longer works for cbs news. >> i don't know. maybe the obama administration is more organized about keeping the press out than other administrations. i mean, you were there and you know there were things -- >> and i was terrible at that. >> well, okay, but leaving that aside, the obama people are pretty good at it, they were good at it during the campaign. the other thing she fails to mention here is her network and other networks have not put the money and resources into investigative reporting than they used to do. this all started from watergate. you can get this stuff the question whether the ne

the obama administration has always -- i will open this up to the panel but the obama administration has always said that the value is taking its time to come to the stages it is building international consensus. does consensus matter? to have a consensus in light of everything else? >> i don't think we have seen in practical terms the russian shopping engagement in the p5+1 process or the stance within that process. .. player. they've engaged with iranians as we know and at times, they've also pulled back or put constraints on the cooperation. they want to be at the table. they want to be involved. they want to be seen as the player and i don't anticipate they are going to take themselves out of the process despite us. >> i will go to some questions. if there are questions bring them up to me. these were asked apparently during the palestinian israeli part of our talk. we have one question for each panelist. if it were up to you and i'm presuming this relates to israel and palestine what is the next actionable step in other words what does one do next. >> did you mean from the americ

it's on steroids we came across our 30th major player to work to support the obama administration and left the obama administrations him or herself an objective journalist. >> let's go through a top five. for example, look. nbc is just an extension of the obama press office now, you're pointing out you have two of their anchors that broke for obama now have full hours of their own on the obama channel, on nbc? >> look at this, ronan farrell who worked for the state department in the obama administration now runs the 1:00 hour as sole anchor for msnbc. joy reed was in the press campaign and now both presenting themselves as anchors. for starters what you need to do as a requirement is to recuse yourself from covering that which you are involved with. >> you have to recuse yourself. >> look well, you do and you don't as long as you identify, i would argue i am the only conservative that says he's a conservative that has a nightly news cable show. i don't know any other cable host identifies them self as a conservative. i'm a proud reagan conservative. >> the interesting thing is that conservatives never have that pr

people who look for differences between the bush administration and the obama administration, they shouldn't look in this area because i think both administrationsou made that connection. so, you think that there was a bit of a message here after something of an embarrassment, right, with this video that we're seeing now on the screen showing this meeting that took place, something to show a sign of strength after that embarrassment? >> possible. but, you know, these are often targets of opportunity. often they're events that have followed months and months of surveillance. so, i'm not in a position to say they were trying to make a statement. but certainly a statement was made and heard. >> now, just one brief question before i let you go. it also just to remind our viewers al qaeda in the arabian peninsula has its targets set on the u.s., its eyes set on the u.s., a sign this is still a serious threat. >> it is a serious threat. they do have their -- they are set on the u.s., but don't forget, of course, there's a broader sectarian conflict going on in the middle east, al qaeda being an extremist sunni, you know, outlier has been responsible f

general pattern that's developed that what the administration wants to do, what the government, both the bush administration and the obama administrationthey want to narrow the field of national security reporting. they want to make it very difficult for anyone to pursue stories outside of accepted boundaries that the administration itself sets down. agostini what they're trying to do. they are trying to kind of create a path for accepted reporting, and that if you as a reporter go outside those parameters, that you will be punished and the sources that you are trying to deal with will be prosecuted. that is essentially what i think they're trying to do is create a de facto official secrets act through the use of the justice department, the cia and the white house i think are collaborating in a sense, without congressional approval, be able to make sure that every story that comes out about national security is something that makes the white house look good, makes the cia look good, and that any story that doesn't make them look good or doesn't help their political cause, the people involved in that storage will be punished. i think th
