we have anymore of an imperial presidency now than we did under george herbert walker bush or ronald regan. presidents issue orders. it is an ability. it is a checked power. it is something given to them by the constitution. and coming is doing nothing. we have a do nothing congress that is stalemated and can't even agree on a budget. >> congress is doing a lot. they arepreventing e over reach of big government. right? that is significant i think. >> i hear your point, and by the way the senate did enact a budget. we were like belgium going without a budget for years. the question is and it is a good one you raise, they are extraordinary actions that are becoming ordinary. they should not be ordinary. jonathon turley the historian recently said this president is behaving worse than other presidents. yes george w bush did a lot of signing statements, but president obama dark dark. >> worse in what way? >> enacting this pile of rules and rgulations. >> we went through the list before. go ahead, sabrina. >> one of the real problems is that you don't have any means for debate when you have an

that was ronald regan's mantra. sometimes that was bill clinton's mantra. i want to hear that from mr. obama. he doesn't. he doesn't. he is trying. jared, i'm sorry, buddy, you know how much i respect you. >> same here. >> this president goes too much for redistribution. he just does. it's in his bones and he creates these divisions and today was the same old boring speech. i've got to tell you, either, a, get a new speech writer, b, get a new policy, preferably both. this is not the last. jared bernstein, the best of the best, jimmy p., thank you, gentlemen. i'm kudlow. i'm calm noun. i'm better now. >>> president obama hosted a big white house youth summit this afternoon, but guess who wasn't invited? you're about to meet the national chair of the college republicans who's going to tell us why she was stiffed and why millennials are deserting obama and obama care in droves. >>> speaking of obama care, we have another raft of new problems with the health care law to report today. that includes what looks a bit like a bailout for the insurance companies. i

what was it about ronald regan? he saw mandela as such as threat. why?'80s he was seen as a threat in two different ways. the first was he had been involved in an organization that had supported aggressive tactics to end apartheid. it had been deemed a terrorist organization by the south african government. and some americans picked up on that. and the second was the accusation that he had received money from communists to support his causes. so this overwhelmed the actual cause that he was struggling for. and became a source of controversy during the '80s. >> dr. franklin, last time i saw you, you had come back from south africa. this summer, and you had sort of paid your respects in a sense over the summer when you were there, but as part of the enlication world, i'm curious if you worry at all that our college classrooms and secondary education will sanitize a little bit of nelson mandela's story, not tell the full picture. >> i hope not. i hope the college professors and administrators will insist we tell the whole story. we don't have to idolize nel

ronald regan in 1985 was at 63%. i'm sure when the president sees that he's in the same boat right now as george w. bush was five years in, he's not very happy about it. >> not a reassuring place to be, especially because it's easy to plunge as a politician. easy to plunge in popularity and jop approval. it's difficult to climb out of the hole. george w. bush never got out of his hole. after he went under 50%, he never got back. i'm not saying that will be the same with president obama. we'll see. it's very difficult. once you have lost trust. once the american people indicate they don't trust you, and polls indicate more americans don't trust president obama than trust him, which is a staggering number that happened about a month ago, and also the plunging of numbers of people thinking he's looking out for their economic interest, i think it went down 20 points from 26% over the republicans now to just 6% over the republicans. difficult to regain in the eyes of the volters the idea you are trustworthy and the idea t

you know, i covered ronald regan for six years who used to take a lot of time and go to santa barbaradent is when they do that, i don't think that matters. >> chris, when the president gave his news conference, all of us were watching. what kept coming out to me is that he has plans for doing something in january, making changes when he comes back. what kind of changes do you think he was alluding to? would it be a change in some of his cab by net members like kathleen sebelius who has drawn a lot of fire because of the rollout of healthcare.gov and are there other people that you're thinking he might be looking at? >> well, i've got to say, kelly, it struck me the way it struck you. he was talking about health care and he said, look, we need to make some adjustments. i think that was the word he used. you know, after we get through the deadlines and the surge and people signing up. kathleen sebelius or marilyn tappiner, the head of cbs, i'm not sure i would be having a happy or restful christmas. he left the possibility out here that one or more than one of them would be gone come th

ronald regan used to say seeing himself in old movies was like seeing a son he never knew he had. >>of hair, mister. >> the only thing out of date there is the suit. >> thank you. it's all mine. i appreciate that, khanna. >> on chris wallace's show, they'll be remembering ten years. who else is coming up? >> we'll be talking to rand paul not only about obama care but on wednesday he went to detroit talking about freedom zones like jack kemps enterprise zones. we'll talk to one of the architects of obama care, dr. ezekiel ee manuel. we'll talk to him about where it is now. and then we'll speak with p pik botha. he helped get mandela released. remarkable personal stories you've never heard. >> outstanding. thanks a lot, chris. >> more "fox & friends" in two minutes. stay with us. [ eeping ] [ male announcer ] you hear that? that's the sound of car insunce companies these days. here a cheap, there a cheap. everywhere a cheap... you get it. so what if instead ofjust a cheachoice, you could make a smart choice? like esurance for example they were born online and built to save people money

remember, anderson, this was during the regan administration and ronald reagan opposed what we were doingwed issues to talk about opening up the system in south africa to end the partide. thousands of people got arrested in washington d.c. and i got a group of lawyers together to represent them for nothing. they were released and not charged with an offense. it was a national issue, black, white, male, female, people on the left, right, everybody was involved. the only thing i regret is that there are young people who never knew nelson mandela was from south africa. they didn't realize it was a majority of africans there and didn't realize how great a patriot he was, not the question about terrorist but patriot, someone loving this country and did everything he could to make south africa the country he was and i was there when they were talking about developing a constitution and they wanted to learn what the united states had put together but they had a greater vision of what the constitution has. labor rights, individual rights, all these different rights, which are very important, and
