president obama spoke with mexico's president. and the white house released notes summarizing that phone call. the two presidents discussed immigration crisis but guess what those two presidents didn't talk about. and guess what was not in those white house notes? our u.s. marine who has been rotting in a mexican jail since march 31st. didn't president obama ask the mexican president hey what about our marines? >> if you could please sign that white whitehouse.gov petition, 100,000 signatures, i will get a response from the white house about andrew's fight for freedom. >> the marine jailed in mexico, what's the president's personal involvement in this? is he leaving it to the state department to try to get this guy back? has he talked to the president personally about it? >> i haven't had that discussion. >> this is a fox news alert. and you know what? you did it. 100,000 of you have officially signed that white house petition to get sergeant tahmooressi's case in front of the president. >> the jailed u.s. marine in mexico, did th

president obama takes down the big political stunt by the gop today. for the first time, the president hit back against speaker john boehnerer's outrageous man to sue him for executive actions. >> we take these actions and now republicans are mad at me for taking action. they are not doing anything. then they're mad that i'm doing something. i'm not sure which of of the things i have done they find most offensive. but they have decided to sue me for doing my job. i might have said in the heat of the moment during one of the debates i want to raise the minimum wage, so sue me when i do. i didn't think they were going to take it literally. we can't afford to wait for congress now. that's why i'm going ahead and moving ahead without them wherever i can. >> the p president is calling out republicans for trying to block him on everything. he's challenging them to take action on anything. in a tv interview with abc, the president dismissed boehner's lawsuit as political game playing. >> the suit is a stunt. if you're really concerned about me taking too many

president obama's view. in a meeting with secretary general at the united nations, abbott reaffirmed his opposition to a global climate treaty with strict caps on carbon emissions. but abbott's most remarked remarks came at a business lunch where he said quote, i'm looking forward to the coming age century, the century will be an indian century, a japanese century, a korean century, and an indonesian century, as well as a chinese one. the asian century will be an american century, too, because america is a pacific power as well as an atlantic one, he notes. asian needs america involved. the world wants america to succeed. the world needs america to succeed, unquote. if that formulation sounds sounds convaluted, it is. long standing allegiance to the u.s. >> question, what is prime minister abbott trying to convey with his formulation of the asian century as also the american century? david renny. >> in terms of the food court, with all the different asian countries. what he's trying to do is to thread the ne

we have two minutes until president obama comes out. i want to go quickly to chief international affairs correspondent christiane amanpour. christiane, president obama's political success has been defined by taking troops out of iraq, opposing the war in iraq. an interesting dilemma for him. >> a dilemma, yes and no. if the actual main priority of the united states, which he delineated in his own speech last week, is fighting terrorism, well, then this is it. things change. yes, he's ended the war, but things change. and is the better course of wisdom to allow a group of terrorists to take over a country, or is the better course of wisdom to stop that? my sources have told me last week that they did not believe isis could take baghdad. nonetheless, what isis has taken is a part of iraq that has joined up with a part of syria, and that is a massive, massive problem. and all the military and political sources i've spoken to says that provides a massive threat to all the region and to america itself as well as its allies. >> michael crowley

president obama came into -- so you to deal with reality. it when you are given the responsibility -- >> this is -- >> president obama had the responsibility to stablize situation. he did not now we are living with the consequences. >> this is one of your democratic counter part bob menend menendez. take a listen. >> i don't have advocate bringing boots on the ground in order to stop the march of isis. the challenge is, what is in our interest. what are the consequences to us. in that regard, we have to both think about whether or not there is targeted and limited in duration strikes. >> do you agree with senator menendez? >> first of all, our first action should be to reach out to the moderate sun eyes to see how disgisted with maliki. we don't want to enflame that situation. it's complex. it's a tragedy that is degraded to this point. we have to deal with the situation as we find it. so here is what we should do. make sure we help the kurds and stablize that region. we need to make sure that southern iraq remains stable. from my point stan

speaker boehner says that the lawsuit would be about president obama's runaway use of executive orders and his abuse of executive powers and the problem is that president obama hasn't been abusing executive powers or usurping congressional authority with executive orders the brookings is put together a great graph of the use of executive orders by presidents since the birth of our nation and his craft clearly shows president obama has issued fewer executive orders than any other president since grover cleveland the eight hundred eighty s. so claims by bayern republicans that president obama's added control when it comes to issue an executive orders flat out wrong flat out of touch with reality and that makes it all the more clear that any lawsuit brought against president obama it's not about the parents it's about politics. and as a special bonus for the way white supremacists in the republican party it's about race it would be a continuation of the taliban like insurgency plan that was hatched back on the night of january twentieth two thousand and nine by republican lawmakers and st

enter, perhaps, the most liberal president in history barack obama. from the beginning of his pain in 2007, he has been severely criticized on conservative talk radio. no surprise there. the president stands for things the right wing loathes. criticism is directed at the president are both personal and professional. the personal stuff doesn't amount to much. he is not a muslim. he was not born in kenya. he has never doneff fairous. word of the day. but the professional criticisms are turning out to be somewhat valid. a new cbs news, "new york times" poll usually very generous to the president shows his administration has collapsed in the court of public opinion. independence have joined conservatives in believing the president is not doing a good job. the basic problem is competency. and you may remember that the radio guys pointed out that barack obama had little experience running anything. that he was basically a community organizer and theorytitian if you analyze the facts seems to be accurate. problem skills and problem solving ability are dubious

. >> the president obama talking about let me loose when i'm in d.c. the nine justices put a stop to his recess appointments, voting overreach. the president should have known better. >> the supreme court basically argued that the senate makes its rules, not the president of the united states. i learned that in third grades civics class. the president should have known better as a constitutional attorney. >> this is a serial violation for the president. what the president did here, i can't imagine any competent lawyer would look at it and say, yes, you do have that authority. >> the president has made a habit of taking executive action and the white house is signaling he's about to do so again and this time on immigration reform. >> the president has tasked his secretary of homeland security, jay johnson with reviewing what options are available to the president. what is his disposal, using his executive authority to try to address some of the problems that have been created by the broken immigration system. >> i'm not going to apologize for trying to d

disrespecting president obama this goes way beyond just trying to tie him up i'm just curious on all your thoughts anybody want. well i mean it appears that there's just been a blatant disrespect of this president i think more so than any other president previously. and i'm not going to say it's because of the color of his skin but just the the the visceral that you see with the congress and their unwillingness to even think about talking to folks across south thinking about evil wanting to the white house is something that i don't think we've ever seen before in so. i think it is very blatant disrespect to i don't i don't have any recollection of a member of congress show to you lawyer to a president during a joint speech to congress so i'm grabbing your thoughts i think that it's i don't think it's disrespect it is just disrespectful but i think mostly that. boehner is responding to pressure from the conservative right to do something. to the tea party well yes and i think that this is more about him being elected in november than it is about obama i think that this is just a ploy h

president obama is there along with the leaders of france, great britain, and russia. this include as fly-over and a 21-gun salute. >> president obama attended a ceremony in the american cemetery of normandy. 900 veterans who survived d-day were in attendance at today's ceremony. president obama paid special tribute to them during his speech. >> i am honored to return here today to pay tribute to the men and women who have defied every danger. among them are veterans of d-day. gentlemen, we are truly humbled by your presence here today. >> so true. well, moments ago, russian president vladimir putin attended the same lun chon cheo. you can see president obama on the left there and putin own the right. this is the first time the two have crossed paths since the violence in ukraine escalated. and queen elizabeth was present and was a teenager during the war and served as a mechanic and a drive. >> pretty amazing, laura. there are only 1 million surviving word war 2 vets. 550 people die each day according to the world museum. we have more information at nbcbayarea.com. we'

let's talk about this meeting between president obama and president putin. we have seen video of them ton sidelines. how did this happen? we layered that president obama all but ignored putin at various times earlier in the day. >> there was one photo earlier in the day, family photos, one family that was very dysfunctional. it was evident obama and putin weren't paying attention to one another. it was seemingly intentional. a vine from the host french government, six or seven clip of, looped clip of video of president obama and vladimir putin and it really was they call it a pull-aside, standing up against the wall and starting a discussion obviously very informal, obviously no formal agenda there. this comes after weeks the white house swore there would be no kind of formal meeting. in some ways it was borne out. positive things came out of it of course chiefly that they said they would work towards some sort of cease fire in eastern ukraine. couple that with the meeting with petro poroshenko. a day of positive steps, no question about it antonio and it ca

president obama arrived just moments ago. picture, president obama and vladimir putin, russian president just feet from each other during what they call a family photo. from what we see they made no obvious effort to embrace. this is the first time they've been in such close quarters since russia began its aggression on ukraine. >> we don't need them to hug. we just need them to talk. that's what we're hoping, that they use the momentum of this moment today to remember how urgent situations can be and how important strategic alliances are. let's get a little insight. we just got the seating plan at the lunch. remember, it may seem irrelevant, but it is. everything is negotiated. presidents putin and obama are just seats away from each other. the men could have chosen to be farther apart. is the message that they're going to be close but not too close? we'll see what comes from it. certainly they're closer in this picture and at lunch than they are on the issue of the ukraine right now. we'll give you pictures of that lunch and

why would president obama want america to be more socialist than capitalist? >> his philosophy isn't that of an american. his philosophy is against a free market and free society. when the president talks about work place benefits he is talking about government force of the economy. france the maximum work week is 35 hours. employees get paid vacation after a month and get travel to and from work paid for and get lunches paid for. you know what the net result is? unemployment above 8% since the 1980s. that is what the president is advocating for he can keep it. >> unemployment rate at 10.4% now. >> young people in france, 23% unemployment rate versus about 13% still elevated here. why would we mimic more of what is going on poorly elsewhere? >> i think a basic economic rule of thumb is that if france is doing it we should not be doing it. i think it is funny that this president is giving about advice when the president hasn't run a lemonade stand. we should want to be the opposite of france. when french workers were forced to have to work more than 35 hours a w

. >> he's attacking president obama over iraq. >> rarely has a u.s. president been so wrong about so much. >> dick cheney is not talking. >> president obama has repeatedly misled the american people. >> dick cheney is talking about president obama. >> pretending that he, dick cheney, wasn't the perpetrator of the disaster. >> i want to be as respectful as possible to vice president dick cheney. >> the man is shameless. >> i cannot find the words to say how i feel. >> i don't think he's the one to be giving us advice. >> we hope you'll join us. >> the hard but necessary task to have restoring american strength and power. >> it was the biggest foreign policy blunder in the history of the country. >> we're forming an alliance for a strong america. >> an organization to defend america and attack barack obama. >> we hope you will join us. >> thanks, but no thanks. >> good evening. we begin tonight with a development that's bad for republicans and good for our foreign policy debate in this country. the falling stock of dick cheney. consider his standing at t

president obama spoke earlier today and said many moving words. one of the most moving moments i saw from earlier was an elderly world war ii vet went up to the president, shook his hand, talked to him for a while. the president treated him with much respect. a very moving moment. >>> i want to bring in historian ken davis right now. tell us a little bit about sword beach. there are a number of beaches on the shores of normandy. tell us the significance of this beach. we don't have ken yet. let's listen to the ceremony. they're playing the french national anthem now. ♪ >> the french president is about to approach the podium. he'll begin giving remarks. jim acosta is on omaha beach. you've been watching the ceremony all morning long. give us a little flavor, jim. >> that's right, carol. we've been standing here in normandy at the normandy american cemetery and memorial all morning long. i have to tell you i've had a chance to walk among these gravestones. it's really an inspiring and moving experience. but one thing that we did hear this morning and

obama had even had his first day in office it was hatched here there. and washington d.c. . since president obama took office republicans have been deliberately trying to tank the obama presidency and at the expense of the american people are khana me and society it's pretty clear that any lawsuit by speaker boehner would just be part of the same old dirty republican tactics right let's rumble. writes big picture rubble or robin carter martin pramod and more of the project twenty one black leadership network a host of the conservative black women's blog nicole williams attorney and democratic strategist and peter off contributing editor to u.s. news and world report and thank you all for joining thing please great to have with us senior thank you. first at first i was thinking that what boehner was doing with this lawsuit was clinton impeachment version to write you know tie the guy up get him a bunch of bad press have a stunt that gets to control the news cycle for month after month after month but then i started talking about it on the radio and a lot of people first congressman bob ney w

president obama is taking hits from every direction, it seems. health system. is it all his fault or were problems like these inevitable. the president taking a lot of criticism. some of it legitimate, some of these issues can't be laid at his feet, you have the v.a., they've had problems for years, does the criticism come with the job? >> these sort of criticisms come with the job. it seems people forget about the previous president's snafus. there were bumps, scandals, times where people were calling for impeachment. i think this president faces a unique set of challenges. some of which he's the author of. the healthcare.gov website is something that was preventable. if you look at benghazi, iraq, these are problems he inherited. >> no one seems to have any good answers for what's happening in iraq, can you say this is president obama's fault or may this be an aftershock of something george w. bush left behind? >> i think one of the things that's so funny, they run to say they're going to change things and do things in their own way, and they ha

it's the right's reaction to the election of barack obama as president. cond front is more complicated. it has to do with how obama came to be president in the first place. what conditions were in the country in 2007 and 2008 that made his candidacy take flight. what you had back then was a miserably unpopular republican president, george w. bush. when obama came to power, the right blamed bush. they blamed him for growing government instead of shrinking it. remember compassionate conservatism? bush gave conservatism a bad name. that's what they told themselves. because he gave it a bad name, country turned on republicans and turned to barack obama. so that's within the second front in the war the tea party has been waging. it's not just against barack obama. it's also against the republicans who helped bush last decade. the ones who betrayed, quote, real conservatism and hastened the rise of obama. that's why what the republican establishment pulled off this week in mississippi may end up being a nightmare for them. sure, thad cochran was able to beat chr

the most devastating polls just released in the obama presidency. glenn beck is here on how he predicted this islamic terrorist state years ago, only to be uniformly mocked for that prediction. and our special guests, former president dick cheney and daughter liz cheney join us in moments on an incendiary piece they penned in today's "wall street journal." first, we begin with our chief white house correspondent ed henry. ed? >> megyn, good evening. this situation in the gulf getting more tense tonight because there are u.s. fighter jets that are flying surveillance missions over iraq. we're told by senior officials that's in part to gather intelligence for possible u.s. air strikes in the days ahead, but officials also tell us these are loud planes, normally attack jets not usually surveillance jets, and that's meant to send a message to the extremists about possible military action in the days ahead. the question is going to be is the bark bigger than the bite? this big meeting at the white house broke up in the oval office a few hours ago, democra

her starkest difference of opinion with president obama is on syria's civil war. she says she pushed him to arm rebels but he disagreed. no one likes to lose a debate, but this was the president's call and i respected his decision. she speaks warmly of her relationship with obama, which grew out of a bitter primary battle and she describes their first meeting after she dropped out of the race. we stared at each other like two teens on an awkward first date ticking a few sips of chardonnay. both barack and i had long list of grievances it was time to clear the air. a few light moments in a memoir about her time at the state department officially out on tuesd tuesday. >> thank you. >> the chardonnay, helpful in any awkward first date. >>> we're learning new information this morning about a deadly school shooting in seattle. several people in the hospital. the suspect is behind bars. we can tell you what police revealed overnight. gunman is in custody after opening fire with a shotgun on the campus of seattle pacific university killing one person, wounding two others.

the media let this crap slide, the media let obama becoming president while being palestines with a -- -- with pals with a bomber. don't explain it to megyn kely. explain it to the relatives of the victim. >> wait a minute. obama went to his house one time. >> oh, please, bob, do you believe that? >> absolutely. >> to use one of your lines, i have a bridge to tell you. >> the idea we should be looking at him as a friend, tucker is -- >> the woman that he married, burn adean -- bernadine dorn is a fan of charles manson. >> it's not a big deal. it's ridiculous we're talking about it. >> there's more coverage about romney's family dog traveling on the top of his car than there was -- even if it was, that they were friendly and they only got tolingt one -- got together one time. you would think that fair coverage would have covered equal. >> the tea party never bombed anybody. >> we're going to have an honest conversation about who he is and where he came from at some point. why we're getting what we're getting now? >> if you think reality matters and you are invested in that old fashione

how does this set the tone for president obama's meeting with president hollande? a very tense tone. the french are very upset, live video might say, about the prospect of a $10 billion fine being posed by u.s. prosecutors on france's largest bank bnp paribas. they say it is disproportionate, it's unfair. president hollande has promised when he meets with president obama this evening to bring up the issue. president obama earlier in the day said it's not his role to get in the way of the investigation. meanwhile, president obama expressed his disappointment that the french decided to go ahead with the sale of warships he put it, just as the international community is trying to isolate russia. two meetings that we are not sure will happen but would obviously be important if there was any sort of de-escalation in ukraine, that is president obama and president putin. they will be at a lunch together here in normandy. both sides have said they would talk but no formal meetings organized. of course, the russians want shouldlation in ukraine, sit down with the president-

president obama told brian williams if he had the chance, he would do it all over again. reiterating that the administration believed that a u.s. soldier should not be left on the battlefield. that was a key part of this decision. now of course that interview with president obama comes as this administration has gotten bipartisan criticism for not alerting congress 30 days prior to releasing those five taliban detainees which is required by law. the administration has shifted its explanation for why it felt it needs to do that.

it was the generals who told president obama, if you don't follow through, that's going to happen. >> follow through on what? >> on the status of forces agreement which president obama failed to sign. they said this is exactly what would happen. i would prefer to listen to the generals than to smib smb who hasn't been in government in years any day. >> can i ask you this then? let's extrapolate this now. >> there's a good shot. >> president obama -- >> you take shots constantly, bob. you sit there and act like everything from 1978 is still relevant today after 9/11. >> i think you're suggesting 9/11 seem tobz the rationale for everything we do. >> so afghanistan. president obama is now declared that by 2015-2016 we will be completely out ofafghanistan. by your own admission it's a mistake. >> i don't think we should be there at all. >> let's talk reality. >> too late. >> the reality is we're there. why do you keep putting hillary clinton back in the spotlight? >> i like the word. >> this doesn't have anything to do with her at all. >> why are we in afghanistan? >> we're there. so the

i think it's ridiculous that president obama -- you know we've been talk about it later he's going to do that with immigration. >> what president doesn't use executive action. >> a lot of presidents do, but i do think there is a responsibility on behalf of the executive whoever it is in office to craft executive actions that can hold up in court and when they do not to accept that, okay, we disagree with the ruling but we accept it because the supreme court has spoken. kimberly i want to get your take on the other thing. the last day of a supreme court session is always a fire drill for the white house because there's lots of decisions. before we go i want to touch base on this other one, supreme court ruling 5-4 about public sector unions. in illinois -- this is about home health care workers and whether or not they were going to be come foeld give a fee to the unions, the health care workers didn't want, to the unions said we don't have to represent you when we do contract. the supreme court said we're going to agree with the health care workers. >> you got it right exactly. we'll s

president obama has no plans to meet with putin. but the man he stood next to is meeting with putin tonight one on one. president obama is saying if he does have the opportunity and they'll bump into each other, he'll say the same thing privately as said in public. >> russian armed forces annexing pieces of a neighbor is illegal and in violation of national law and the kinds of destabilizing activities that we now see funded and encouraged by russia are illegal, and are not constructive. >> the controversy over the deal that president obama struck to release bowe berdadhl from the detention and releasing five prisoners, taliban commanders and that is following the president here and being asked about it. this time he was even more defiant that he was two days ago in poland. >> i make no apoll jies for getting a man back to his parents and the american people have to understand it is someone's child. and that we don't condition whether or not we make the effort to try to get them back. >> president obama add add separate rational, a n

>> yeah, president obama. >> are you kidding me? >> yeah, president obama. >> president obama? for three world cups now. i have the utmost respect for them. >> more than 10,000 people in downtown kansas city go nuts when john brooks scores the go ahead goal. soccer fans all across the u.s. gathered to watch the game. next up for team usa is portugal on sunday. >>> and baseball fans are remembering hall of famer tony gwynn as one of the greatest hitters of all time it and one of the warmest personalities the sport has ever had. in 20 seasons with the padres gwynn batted .338 and amassed 1300 hits. his team never won the world series but he did lead the padres to two national pennant. gwynn died yesterday of oral cancer. to what he attributed to chewing tobacco. he was 54. san diego comes up short in the game losing 5-1. >>> when we return, signs on social media. the debate over whether a person who posts threats on the internet should be sent to jail. the supreme court agrees to weigh in. who posts threats on the internet should be sent to jail. the supreme court agrees to weigh

. >> democrats are watching nervously willing to bite their tongues as president obama deploys 300 military advisors. but democrats say they are not willing to support any escalation. and republicans say the president has only himself to plame as the islamist group known as isis marches south from syria toward baghdad. >> the spread of terrorism has increased exponentially under this president's leadership. >> to me it is just the moment. the president who made his name in national politics by saying i will get us out, i opposed the war to begin with, i will get us out as soon as possible. when they say 300 military advisors, publicly the president is adamant it will not grow and will not become combat. privately, are had they nerve sf nerveous? >> this is the war that barack obama always said he wanted to end. he did end it and pulled all the troops out. 300 troops to train iraqi security forces? there is an additional 275 troops that have gone in to secure the embassy in baghdad. they have not said definitively that there will be no more troops. it is possible if there are additional trai

it is not a victory for president obama. it is a victory for our soldiers, their families, and our great country. no member of the armed forces should be left behind, and president obama saw to that. mr. president, there are questions regarding sergeant bergdahl's disappearance and whether or not military code was violated. these are issues that will be resolved by the united states army, not monday morning quarterbacks on capitol hill. let me say this for the sake of the argument: let's assume that bergdahl did violate his sworn oath. what do we do? do we mete out justice to an american soldier? us, our country, as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff has said yesterday and the date before, if he's done something wrong, military justice will step in and take care of that violation, if in fact there was one. i don't know. but certainly that's a better approach than having the taliban do it. i will just the justice system of the united states a.m., american justice, every -- of the united states army, american justice, ev

tonight's lead, the gop's impeachment fever has been a right are wing fantasy since president obama took office. but now the gop rhetoric and actions are getting more direct. for the first time an official republican state party has passed the resolution on impeachment. south dakota republicans claim the president has, "violated his oath of office in numerous ways." they are calling on, "our u.s. representatives to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the united states." it's a radical measure based on nothing. that's out of step with what most americans think and yet it could find a sympathetic ear among tea party extremists in congress >> president obama barack obama's legacy will be -- and i predicted this a year ago -- the establishment of lawlessness in the united states of america. >> we are seeing at the same time liberty under assault. we are seeing our constitutional rights under assault like never before. >> the president is lawless. liberty is under assault. it's absurd<[ rhetoric. but it's becoming mainstream in the gop. this weekend, louisiana governor b

he's just thanking president obama at there point. perhaps we can listen in for a moment to what president kom ror mof ski is saying. >> translator: our actions. i also wish to thank the ones who helped us to manage our freedom wisely to reinforce it. i wish to thank the people who lived in the free world and who believed in us, who lent us support in our endeavors to have poland -- in the western world through the membership of nato and the european yoon. i wish to thank all free people nowadays, the ones who show understanding to those fighting for freedom and sovereignty. >> come more rove ski speaking ahead of an address which has been marked as a significant moment for president obama in his efforts to reassure central eastern europe that their part of the world still very much on america's map, and we will pick up with president obama as soon as he takes to the stage there in warsaw. >>> let's catch up on other news. the taliban have released a video showing the moment the american soldier sergeant bowe bergdahl was handed over t
