obama is troll actively ordering people to go where through the. disparate cities people he's demonstrating is a failure of leadership he made these commitments as you mentioned both during his campaign in early ministration and in the first year of the obama administration a federal law basically go back and they defer state of local regulations area but i think what happened is that a number of the federal prosecutors around the country especially in california colorado or i once had decided they were going to take the initiative and they were going to go after these dispensaries they were going to shut them down they were going to set acid forfeiture letters and they weren't going to tell anybody. why they were picking out one of the other they were just going to create a climate of fear and now it's loose so much the white house can do in terms of telling us attorneys not to enforce federal law because none of us attorneys are always saying it's all illegal under federal law so wouldn't lekan them obama need ministrations for is not so much the individual raids and you never know exactly which ones were playing by the rules what rules or which ones weren't already condemned for is this failure to send

there is a great push from israeli influence groups not president obama to back a potential strike and as you said they had ministration says the iranians haven't even decided to build a bomb so all this war talk is based on what is based really on i think the american israeli public affairs committee and it's a subordinate elements or affiliated elements they represent enormous quantities of money that over many years have cultivated enormous influence and power in congress and you simply are talking is just to appease the lobbyists well i think you've got a lot of people on the hill who fall into two categories one category that is interested in money and wants to be reelected and they don't want to run the risk of the various lobbies that are that are pushing. military action against iran to contribute money to their opponents colonel macgregor some say these trade leadership sees this summer as that window of opportunity that they don't want to miss for two reasons one iran has very few friends in the wage and syria its closest ally is a mess right now and second presidential elections coming up in the u.s. some sa

this is the last three years of the bush should ministration, the first three years of the obama administration. can you tell me about results .gov? what does it do? >> it allows, among other websites, federal and government employees in u.s. citizens to look at and accessed data about their government. >> so when i type that end, why does it come up blank? >> i don't know. >> you are a bit chief of staff. >> i'm unfamiliar with the website. >> this is a disconnect -- she cites this as one of a handful of great accomplishments at the gsa and you don't even know what is? >> i believe the former administrators reference to data -- >> that is not what she said. she said results.gov and it's blank. i did not even go to it until you highlighted in your testimony and i would appreciate the gsa getting back to us. that's unacceptable. location solvers. the gsa employees people are full time planning coordinators', correct? >> that is my understanding. >> in this situation, location solvers are hired and were awarded a $12,000 finding feet. are we hiring people to be parting planners -- party planners

origins of the bush torture program and as they get a originate from a question ministration are they also being use it in the obama administration. well you know there is some debate as to what is actually being used it what's very important to point out is that. the army field manual does contain certain techniques such as. i believe there's isolation maybe hooding in there in which we know has been used as a form of torture so when the obama administration says that you know they have ended torture that they've abandoned outlawed if you will these techniques it's it's it's really up for debate on how you define torture. i've discussed this with you know with our team many times before we got in solitary confinement solitary confinement is a form of torture and that is actually something that's continuing to take place. at prisons and bob graham in guantanamo and certainly in u.s. prisons as well so. with regard to what the obama administration is doing. it's really difficult to say we were more or less have to take the word from the administration their word that they are not no longer using these techniques tha

working towards regularly to get the obama administration wants to regulate it but they haven't been able to get it's a long process to roll that out how do you ministration it is is very supportive of expanding natural gas fracking even on our public lands where they're working also working towards regulating it however as are doing this to working very closely with industry groups that are working very closely with the actual companies that are doing this to roll off these regulations so if they're going to be strong enough to actually make a difference you know that means to be seen. so answer would you agree that the answer that it would be more regulation at that would be accomplished and also holding companies accountable. absolutely i mean you know we have to ask ourselves if we want this it is an important national resource and it does create jobs not always the industry would like to say it does but it does create jobs and it does boost our economy it helps their energy security at the same time without any oversight or regulation expressly on the federal level is companies have been allowed to do pretty much whatever they want and the results of

afghanistan even more than they are right now that that would be blamed ministration then the republicans would use that as a hammer to the obama administration on the head with during the coming months. now take a look at some other stories from around the world qatar has reportedly seen an attempted military coup organized by high ranking officials aimed at overthrowing the country's leader according to unconfirmed information the royal family had to be taken by helicopters to safety officials have sought to keep the incident away from the media due to a volatile situation throughout the arab region. and other can you give me a tour has urged the u.n. to take action to stop fighting between sudan and south sudan over and over its region the security council has already demanded the south moves its troops from the disputed area the country send forces into the sector last tuesday claiming it was a response to air and ground attacks from sudan which accuse its southern neighbor of occupying the canonically vital region. now throughout have marched through the streets of market in northern peru to voice their anger over a propos

to resign or by now it's common knowledge that the obama administration's war on whistleblowers doesn't end with the state department is a ministration has prosecuted more people under the espionage act than any of the previous administrations combined i we're not the only ones who have noticed just a few months ago we play this clip of a.b.c.'s jake tapper who decided to grill jay carney after he praised two hardworking journalists who were killed in syria. this is for this is a story. that's been so aggressively trying to stop progress of your emotional state by using the espionage just to take this lowers to court currently but you can go to the six times before your body is version it only been used three times it's true but it seems to be just to make sure you're aggressive journals of a good story. thank you jake i could not have said it better myself we send a secretary of state of his open government conference to be a cheerleader for transparency meanwhile team obama is building up their legal cases against whistleblowers who dare to embarrass their government you can highlight corruption of the rest of the world with those

the first two years of the clinton ministration we're now in the first three years of the first obama administration do you think that this might be a repeat of batter are the circumstances dramatically different in some way. i think the circumstances are somewhat different first of the democrats do have control of the senate in a stronger position and that's that is a distinction also on the other side the tea party is a much more well defined and well funded conservative movement then what you had back in the mid ninety ninety s. remember in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. you did have gingrich in the mix but you also had someone like bob dole there was a very different republican party then so you really end up in a situation now where the lines are much more clearly drawn but the end of the story might well be quite similar in fact it might even be a dramatically better story for progressives because one of the things that president obama has to do if he is not only to be reelected but to be reelected with a congress that might actually support him is to make much clearer lines

making their return now we constantly talk about the obama administration's war on whistleblowers on this show but the fact that under his ministration already six people have been charged under the espionage act that's in three years and that's more times than ever before in our history but she was born into a pretty complicated world one where lawmakers and judges who don't know anything about that and are trying to regulate our family illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all of the assistance that i can get. something else something. i don't think any of us have. or. tweet it without is in recently a judge made a ruling that would essentially kill her dream of making the invisible stories visible haleigh so this is an article on the blaze you see how they impacted our video yeah that's great well if the seventh circuit court of appeals up holds another judge's ruling websites are going to have to stop inventing videos oh well that's bad. now i couldn't explain the whole thing to ilona because she's busy and i have to do actual work but here's the jest back in july a judge ruled that someone who was betting copy written mater

next week, president obama will outline the end ministration proposal to work with congress to keep interestates -- the administration proposal to work with congress to keep interest rates down. all of us share the responsibility for the cost of college. because this issue is so important to our economy and our future, our administration is doing more than ever to address it. we have a number of proposals in our 2013 budget. with the support of congress, we have doubled pell grant funding for low-income students and nearly triple tax credits for middle-income families. we are going to lower the cap to 10%, starting in 2013. so many of us have held town halls across the country to talk about the cost of college. we have met with university presidents, governors, state legislators, and members of congress. next week, the president will meet with students at the university of north carolina, the university of colorado, and iowa city. these are among the nation's educational jewels. we should do everything possible to make sure they remain affordable. 2012 marks the 150th anniversary of the more

play this game of the century trying to bully president obama and push him into an action that he would otherwise choose not to take did ministration is basically saying all they need is evident. that iran has acquired nuclear weapons capability and here's what i want to ask you about this capability issue because it's a very vague i mean it means being capable of doing something but not necessarily doing it yes how do you see it was deliberately vague it's deliberately ambiguous so that various people can define it as they like what is a capability to do something in terms of weapons nuclear weapons development well how much rich geranium are we talking about is it just in rich in uranium does it involve packaging the enriched uranium does it involve a test of some type no one has been very specific and i think that's purposeful because you could if you're sitting in the white house right now and you're sitting at the cia n.s.a. or in the pentagon you could always say well we said capability we don't see it yet so is the purpose of that to to keep the use way at least in this in vagueness will president obama's preeminent concern

to nevada and barack obama came to power they proclaimed they must reset the russian american relations after the cold rhetorical question we should ministration that period of partnership and cooperation rather than standoff. knowledge the reset has been one of the biggest foreign policy achievements of both russian and american leaders the biggest reward is being used and treaties signed in april two thousand and ten or as the kremlin is something about to welcome the return of president putin and there have been down the recent year old continues yet on school insists it's not going to confront washington but americans i get to choose their course the leaning republican camp. mitt romney for example has recently called russia america's number one geopolitical. commerce a coworker to the shell thank you very much for being with us. well first of all i've got this new book or the new edition of you have got here in my hands which is called serving trade center last alternatives from stalinism to the new cold war. i just ask you what you call the new cold war and you said this is actually was going on now but although i want you pretty unpopul

obama's u.s. justice department dropped ninety nine out of one hundred one cases against cia interrogators over the use of torture very early ministration wants to keep those options open they don't want to label these techniques as crimes or torture because that would prohibit them from using them but we didn't do that we will definition and however slight we agree being we can still be option will apply in these techniques once again and that is what is frightening here scholars attorneys and human rights experts around the world have called for the prosecution of senior bush administration officials who designed in order torture tactics however critics say the unspoken agreement within countries proclaiming to pioneer democracy is to never turn on your own the problem is that the west we you know we make great claim about our great democracies but there is a kind of stick between the. parties but they will not press charges and they will not take legal action against the crimes of all previous administrations through the use of torture rendition and secret prisons out america's moral position around the world has are undoubtedly shif

obama's policy take a listen. we don't capture anybody anymore leslie i mean you know if they are the fault of these ministration has has been to kill prisoners take no prisoners the drones the drones how could it be more ethical to kill people rather than capture them i've never understood that one. so he says it's more ethical to capture rather than this to just kill people this is a line that we've also seen the former head of the former top lawyer at cia say we've seen david ignatius kind of sort of subtly points out and in some is columns which is that in fact all this debate over enhanced interrogation extraordinary rendition is completely overshadowed by the fact that now we're actually it's nasa meeting people and there's not the outcry from the left or the progressive this is all you know your progressive audience they're the people who should be actually who this criticism is directed at it's to get the left to shut up about this stuff and i don't believe in enhanced interrogation i don't believe it works i agree with the cia no major event was ever prevented by this with that said i think having someone i

backwards last june obama's us justice department dropped in ninety nine out of one hundred in one cases against cia interrogators over the use of torture i'm afraid that the current ministration wants to keep those options open they don't want to label these kept nique sed as crying your torture because that would prohibit them from using them by weaving the legal definition however slight we really believe and so do you option with wideness that meets once again and that is what is threatening your scholars attorneys and human rights experts around the world have called for the prosecution of senior bush administration officials who designed in order torture tactics however critics say the unspoken agreement within countries proclaiming to pioneer democracy is to never turn on your own like. that in the west we. you know we make great clothes and we wrote a great christmas but there was a kind of between the hawks but they will not press charges and they will not take legal action against crimes of previous administrations through the use of torture brandishing and secret prisons america's moral position around the world has are undoubtedly shifted and while the u.s. will li
