so the administration, the obama administration naturally feels compelled to say that in a final deal there's going to be a major dismantlement, a major reduction of nuclear infrastructure. and then the iranian critics say, you see, we told you. the americans are only interested in cutting our enrichment program. and then rouhani, to defend himself against that charge, says we're not going to reduce any centrifuges in a final deal. and so you are off and running. another example, the iranian critics of the deal say that the sanctions relief in the interim agreement are peanuts, are insignificant. and so the rouhani administration at that point feels compelled to say that, well, this interview was the first big crack in the wall of sanctions, and that sanctions inevitably are going to unravel. and so u.s. critics read that and say, look what's happening to our sanctions regime. you know, it's falling apart. and the administration then has to say, well, no, they are not falling apart. in fact, the main sanctions remain in place which is absolutely true your queer going to enforce the ex

the obama for administration -- he is not calling for the obama administration to get troops into syria, he is saying the policy has failed. >> and is raising questions of syria. regime in he is reiterating these claims. a few months ago, if you think back, senator mccain and senator graham and some other republicans have all sort of joint forces in their criticism. it looks like they are once again missing the route -- making the rounds in their attacks. roundhave seen the second of talks failed in geneva. there is a blame game going on. the syrian government saying it saying the. fall, u.s. created a hostile environment during those talks. where do we go from here with these talks? >> it has yet to be known in the short. in the long-term, it poses significant challenges for the administration simply because, heyou look at the homefront, is facing attacks from prominent senators in the republican party such as senator mccain. >> crime in a place of worship. prince william county police are looking for a thief who broke into three churches and ransacked them. it happened a week ago toda

but it's the administration that is at the negotiating table with the iranians, not us, and it's the administration that's ultimately responsible for negotiating a deal to conclusively end iran's elicit nuclear program. and it's the administration that will have to come back to congress and tell us whether iran will continue to be a nuclear threshold state. and my sincere desire is for the administration to succeed. no one has worked harder for a peaceful outcome or to get iran to comply with sanctions than i have. but based on the parameters described in the joint plan of action and iranian comments in the days that have followed, i am very concerned. this is not a nothing ventured, nothing gained enterprise. we have placed our incredibly effective international sanctions regime on the line without clearly defining the parameters of what we expect in a final agreement. as al i akbar soulia, who is head of eye rain's nuclear nuclr program, said "the ice cubes are melting." any final deal must require iran to dismantle large portions of its illicit nuclear program. any final deal must

i believe that the administration gets trapped in their own political rhetoric. y say the war on terrorism is nearly over and so it had to be a video that caused this and not a terrorist attack. they say no troops on the ground in libia. and so they send troops in yemen but not libya even though the military offers to send people there. i think it is the political rhetoric that drives the train for these people rather than the national security situation on the ground. >> congressman, your report concludes no stand down order ever given and the problem with sending in reenforcements once the attack was under way they were not positioned on the right place in the globe. how will we avoid the tragedy in the future? >> number one listen to the intelligence. even the senate bipartisan report showed hundreds of intelligence reports saying that things in libya were getting more dangerous and u.s. personnel was in trouble. and secondly be careful when we cut the defense budget as the president has been doing. you can be in fewer places and harder to protect americans in

this isn't about the obama administration. this is about a government that has crossed the line. >> the plaintiffs are asking the court to shut down the nsa phone records program and to purge all of the data held by the nsa. while the federal courts are divided on whether the programs are legal, reporters are told the issue can only be settled by the nation's highest court. >> ultimately, the supreme court is going to be the arbiter of what it means. >> obviously, but a specific matter of litigation, i would refer you to the department of justice. >> they declined comment, but insists the wide ranging speech by the president last month addressed some of it issues. >> in an extraordinarily difficult job, the men and women of the intelligence community, including the nsa, followed protocols designed to protect the privacy of ordinary people. >> the underlying question is whether the nsa programs are efficient and effective. the lawsuit alleges they are neither, but the administration says ruling out the connection to a major over

the administration stamps them as an democracy. it happen before the coup when it wasn't much of a democracy. it's not much of a democracy now. we say you can't get money when there's a military coup we passed legislation basically expanding that waiver to make it really have no death at all and then we end up passing something no restrictions at all basically on continuing military aid after a coup. i think really that this is a big question. it should be a big legislative question when we consider how we write legislation and grant waivers. because i believe -- i fully believe that no matter the testimony the administration has shown the propensity just to do what they want. and we may well go through waiver after waiver after waiver in the end we may get a negotiated settlement that really does not comply with the sanctions that have been written so if we want sanctions to have -- legislation to have it we need to be concerned about how wide and expansive we make the waivers. that's just a point i would like that make. i like you

the administration is way behind. tands that, except when they release real numbers. it's not even a real number because this is not a person who is enrolled. they're not counting the enrolled. it's the people who put the plan in the shopping cart. amazon doesn't count as a sale stuff that's in the cart. it has to be something that actually is paid for, and they have no idea who paid and who hasn't because the back end of this website isn't working still. >> the same time, ab, critics of the administration, many of them republicans, jumping on this report by cms, finding that two thirds of small businesses will pay higher premiums. and it's their numbers, the white house is saying it's cherry picking from this larger report, but it is their numbers. >> right, and jay carney, the spokesman for the white house today said when asked about this, he said that it's being cherry picked and the net effect is going to be good. the problem is we don't know when in 2014 the net effect is going to be measured. so we're looking at

is that a concern the administration has? > more broadly, senator, where our allies and partners in the world are concerned, one of the reasons the sanctions regime has been as effective as it has been, people have climbed on board with us particularly in unilateral sanctions, when they don't believe in unilateral sanctions and tell us at every opportunity, they have followed them because dealing with the american banking system was so crucial to the economy of any country in the world that they comply even though they don't like them. if we in fact don't give negotiations a chance they have less incentive to stay on board with the sanctions regime and we could unwittingly create a rupture in that sanctions enforcement and sanctions regime which is crucial to the kind of aggressive diplomacy senator cain -- senator kaine was outlining. >> unilateral sanctions rarely work. there are certain areas, central-bank sanctions, financial sector where we can lead that but we always lead the risk of getting ahead of our allies or partne

>> item number 4, is an ordinance amending the administrative code to expand the category of the jail inmates eligible for the home detention program and authorizing the sheriff to implement a program to pretrial being held in lieu of bail. >> thank you very much. and we are here and now we are going to hear from former supervisor and now, sheriff, and now welcome to the chamber, thank you. >> and thank you, mr. chair and good morning, supervisors. and before that, it is an amendment to the administrative code that updates, current law, so that we are consistent with the state law as it stands, it is the sheriff's department of every county, that is enabled to be the administrator of the electronic monitoring. for an incus and prerelease population and. the law as it it is current reflects, penal code, 1203.016 which is provides for the placing and sentence the inmates and voluntary and involuntariary and the home detention in lieu of confinement and it is the subsection is the correctional administrator will have the sole authority to admit program participation as alternative to phy

the truth is this administration has been harder on the press than previous administrations. they know it, they're basically willing to cover for violations of press freedom that occur on a daily basis. this is an administration that has really gone out of its ways to give special benefits to reporters it likes, its gone out of its way to rip fox news, if you are one of the beneficiaries why would you object to a growing governor of presence in the media. >> this country has had a long legacy of an oppositional adversarial press. that is what distinguishes us from any other country in the world. if there was any idea that they were trying to interfere, i would be the first one to sound the alarm. i think the other guest, ben, is being a little sensitive. what this is, is an academic study where administrations are free to participate if they want or not participate. >> let me -- hold on, i'm going to let you finish, but on the voluntariness point, the journalists already objected to saying if it is the licensing organizations that you have to respond to, saying oh, trust me i

the answer is, yes, he can be very fair and impartial. and he's democrat administrated that as a -- and he's demonstrated that as a member of the arkansas bench for a long time now. and also, especially in the district court position, does he have the right judicial temperament? i think every person who's every dealt with judge jay moody will say that he not only has the right teem prarntle but h tempes and exceeds all the criteria on all of these. he is exactly the kind of judge that we should all want. there's no reason why judge moody wang confirmed back in december. he should have been. but for the wrangling here in the senate, but for the problems we've had in the senate in the last several months, he would be a federal judge today, and he should be a federal judge today. in fact, two weeks ago came to the floor, asked for consent that we go ahead and just do him by unanimous consent, but that was not granted. singsince 2003, he has seabed sa trial court judge in the little rock area. he's previously worked at the firm of wright, lindsey, and jennings law firm, one

are there other examples from the bush administration or the obama administration or earlier wherwithe president using executive authority to try to achieve things domestically in the space of congressional opposition? >> yes executive orders go all the way back to washington. presidents do this all the time. but the key is it has to be rooted in some either constitutional or statutory authority. one example of the same statute that we mentioned from 1949 gives the president somehow or though it isn't a very well defined over a federal contractor. we have the authority to increase the efficiency of federal contracting and the economy into the president used that on the basis and president johnson had an executive order 11246 that sets up the action and affordable contracting sub something that has been done but as lou suggests, when a president does this it isn't the last word. if the congress didn't agree with that decision to require action by the federal contractors, they could take action if the court is also waiting obviously. if the congress doesn't like what president obama is

administration. i was -- started as an intern in the jimmy carter administration and with all the way through the george w. bush administration and i certainly believe that while politics is important, when it comes to national security of the united states, americans have to unite. there's no reason why the two political parties can't be in support of each other. and of our country on the most important issues, and the iran nuclear issue i think is probably the number one priority of american foreign policy in 2014. because we are at a very critical, the administration is a very critical juncture. let me start by saying i strongly support what president obama and sectors day john kerry are trying to do. when i served in the george w. bush administration working for secretary of state condoleezza rice, we tried to negotiate with the rand. in fact, we offered negotiation, p5+1 group, germany, being the one, britain, france, united states, russia and china, we offered the 2006 and 2007 publicly for the iranians to negotiate and he turned us down. we formed this group of the security council members in ger

the enrollment figures the administration released this week sbhoed 3 million sign-ups so far. how many of those are real sign-ups and duplications or people who haven't paid yet remains to be seen. but the demographics of the exchanges, they need to be 40% younger and healthier people. what we're seeing is only about 25% in that group. >> wow! what about the legality of this. >> yeah, right. >> a small detail. a lot of people including us argue that if you look at the statute, there is no, it doesn't say, impose it in 2016. not after the end of 2013. >> it is not in there. you can study all those words in obamacare and not final those words. you can't find the legal authority for this and it is not just us. even democrats in congress starting to ask the white house, can you really rewrite this whole thing without coming back to congress? the logic from the treasury since the mandates in obamacare, john robertson' 2011 supreme court decision, these are now considered taxes so the argument comes from the treasury department saying they have the statutory authority to mitigate the

we have many other foreign-policy priorities and in the bush administration at one point the bush administrationwanted nato membership for the ukraine more than ukraine did. ukraine is in interested anymore. europeans are closer. there is maybe more for a reason for them to get involved in ukraine but geography does matter and when you look at the map i think everyone has to understand that maybe ukraine has to work out something in the future where it doesn't have to choose one side or the other but it can somehow work with both sides because otherwise i think it's unrealistic. >> host: the russian foreign minister much-maligned by some communicators with united states in my view often unfairly. he was in brussels talking to the european union. he has complained about european and u.s. officials were doing and demonstrations. he complained about two things. he complained that european officials and the u.s. assistant secretary of state to say nothing about insulting john mccain pleaded to the anti-government crowd's and were creating a strong impression that the united states and the european u

. >> i did read the bill and i can tell you that the administrative code, 28.89, that mandates what the policy will be for the police department in terms of testing for dna, our standard is a lot higher, that we meet. we have, we are required by the administrative code to collect kits within 72 hours, which we do. we keep track of that collection and we have never missed that mark not once. and our time goal in the administrative code is that once we take the collection of those kits, we analyze them and if there is an eligible profile we enter into it the kotus within 14 days and that is a lofty goal and we have met it on many occasions. but it is tough. the assembly bill, said that the language says that law enforcement agencies are encouraged to collect sexual assault kit evidence as soon as practical or within five days at the most and law enforcement is also encouraged to submit those kits to a crime lab. the, there is one carve out in there that is different from our admin code in that, the assembly bill says that if the law enforcement agency decides not to test a kit within 30 d

you were in the clinton administration and the obama administration and the bush administration at the state department on policy planning stuff. tell us, if you look back, clinton administration, bush administration, obama administration, who work would russia better? you may start with bush 1 if you want to. you talk about his policy and he is disposed. >> so in my book, i discuss four resets we have had that i count since the fall of the soviet uni union. i was in in policy campaign and both times serving in government we were on a downward slide in the u.s.-russian relationship. so the first reset was brief. president georgia hw bush overlapped with wilson for a year. that was when the focus and national security advisor put the focus on disarming them and de-nuclear-izing areas. there was not enough given to helping out the new russian government and i know nixon was in favor of that. that was a period when the attempt to improve the new russia was focus on the nuclear issues. when the clinton administration came into office it was more ambitious. clinton was the russia hand. he w

importantly the administration has curtailed its enforcement efforts. in 2013, the united states treasury department designated 183 entities for iran sanctions violations. since president rouhani's election, united states has blacklisted 29 entities. the obama administration must hold to its pledge to enforce sanctions. the white house estimates that iran stands to receive $6 billion to $7 billion in sanctions relief. the true value of sanctions relief is well more than $20 billion. calculate the sales of oil. there would be far less pressure for iran to make material concessions on its nuclear program. the congress must actively take part in this process and make its positions known. this would entail capping a number of i.r. centrifuges to a small fraction of the 20,000 that iran poses or more appropriately none at all. it must be kept a year away from breakout. rouhani supports sanctions on iran in six months' time. congress should pass and should sign into law the nuclear weapons free iran act which has the support of bipartisan majority. it is wrong

that, madam president, is precisely what the administration wants. they don't want 501-c-4's educating the public on the issues of the day or telling voters where a candidate stands on political issues. sure, they're fine with these groups promoting social welfare so long as that proegs does not -- promotion does not include critics of the administrator or policies harmful to the general welfare of their communities. it would be one thing if the i.r.s. was an agency with clean hands when it came to dealing with critics of this administration. but as we've seen, madam president, that is simply not the case. indeed, over the last few years we've seen a record of harassment and intimidation of conservative groups applying to the i.r.s. for tax-exempt status. the agency is under investigation in three separate congressional committees for its actions in the run-up to the 2010 and 2012 elections. put simply, the credibility and the political independence of the i.r.s. are very much in question. a reasonable person would think that rather than further damag

and before that, it is an amendment to the administrative code that updates, current law, so that we are consistent with the state law as it stands, it is the sheriff's department of every county, that is enabled to be the administrator of the electronic monitoring. for an incus and prerelease population and. the law as it it is current reflects, penal code, 1203.016 which is provides for the placing and sentence the inmates and voluntary and involuntariary and the home detention in lieu of confinement and it is the subsection is the correctional administrator will have the sole authority to admit program participation as alternative to physical custody and other subsection is no public agency or entity may operate a home detention program in any county without a written contract with the county's correctional administrator. the new law that is within this state the 1203.018, we had introduced this legislation, to the city attorney's office and to the adult probation department, many, many months ago and so that we can remain consistent and that we can form and comport with the state

let me say at the outset that my support the administration's diplomatic efforts. analysts supported a two track policy of diplomacy and sanctions. at the same time i am convinced that we should only relieve pressure in exchange for a verifiable concession that will fundamentally dismantle the iranian nuclear program it be done in such a way that alarm bells will sound from vienna to washington. in the deal the administration reaches will be verifiable, effective, and prevents a run for ever developing. in my view based on the parameters describing an iranian comments in the days that followed, i am very concerned about their willingness to reach such an agreement. this is not an nothing ventured nothing gained enterprise. we have placed our incredibly effective international sanctions regime on the line without clearly define the parameters of what we expect in the final agreement. as the head of the iranian nuclear agency said last week, the iceberg of sanctions is a melting well our centrifuges are still working. this is our greatest achievement. frankly it is my

the overall concept is good but administration is bad? >> no. it's like a communist country. thfoot goes down because of the weather, not because of the system. reminds me of the chancellor of education of new york last week during a snowstorm saying it's a autiful day. rick, it's a beautiful day. >> and in communism. >> when the private insurance companies are marking a ton of money. >> i think the other thing is, we haven't eastern scratched the surface. that cbo report was probably conservative. note blishgs the obama administration underands in delaying the law how bad the job loss will be from this. cbo is a static view of it, not a dynamic scoring of what's going to happen. >> you liked the cbo last week. >> i hope i haven't drowned the audience in numbers, i think you gethe point. i apologize. >>> you think all the winter blasts are doing a number on your hating bills? wait until you see what a new regulation to fight global warming may do to electric bills. you're about to get electricphied. that's coming up. ♪guitar music whoa, dude! ♪ople see you having fun♪ are you

widespread problems showed more problems than the administration let on. did the white house put people's personal information at risk? byron is a fox news contributor. we knew the federal roll out had problems and now we know just how bad the state roll outs were as well. >> department of health and human services anyhow about it and the white house knew about it. the failure as spectacular as the obama care roll out does not happen overnight. we are getting new e-mails and evidence leading up to the october 1st roll out that showed officials knew there were roll outs. and the latest on the state exchange the health and human services anyhow there were serious security risk in 35 exchanges and they were passing urgent memos and october 1st roll out date was approaching and higher ups said let's g. sorry about the security we'll go ahead. >> why did they do that? knowing the states were high risk why would they press ahead? >> think back to october 1st. we had a huge fight about republicans hoping to defund obama care and it was a battle zone and the obama

of the bush administration and then at the national intelligence the bush administration. at times i said we were on kind of a downward slide in u.s.-russian relationship. the first reset was brief because obviously president george h. debbie bush only overlap with president yeltsin for about a year. that is very much for the focus and of course general scowcroft was the national security adviser when the focus was on disarmament and arms control issues, deep nuclear rising, ukraine, and otherwise making sure after the collapse of the soviet union at the nuclear weapons was saved. there is probably not enough attention given to helping out the new russian government financially, economically and president nixon himself was in favor of that. that was very much a. when the attempt to improve relations with the new russia focused on interests, the arms control, nuclear issues. when the clinton administration came into office they had a much more ambitious agenda for his own reset. clinton himself as fresh adviser says clinton was the russia hand. clinton himself was interestin

why did the administration make the change? >> so they are under a lot of pressure from business groups, trade associations and lobbying groups to give these companies a lot of notice before any rules were set in stone, that they have as much time as possible to participate. that is why they releed them now, so the companies have the rest of the area to prepare for these changes and make whatever changes they need to make to their own health benefits programs. >> was there a hint that this was coming. >> not much. we are knew they were working on this regulation. we knew it would come out early in the year. we did not know really that they were going to make these broad changes to really the letter of the law. i think it caught a lot of the by surprise. >> woodruff: do we know how many are affected, weather biggor medium. >> different numbers going on. the administration says that 96% of all u.s. businesses aren't affected by the prn date at all. they are too small, under 50 workers. >> 50 or fewer. >> right, you don't have to

all this bluster from the administration has destroyed one of the crucial elements of diplomacy. administration has no credibility on either of the visible issues you can see today, ukraine, and the russians are not going to give up this black seats. they are not going to give up syria, the base is crucial to them because it's their only access to the mediterranean. what's happen is because they didn't have a strategy, the obama administration has made putin, for all intensive purposes, the desire of all the issues. and i would predict in the aftermath of the olympics wrapping up today, you will see putin exercise that military force, the threats and the covert operations that he comes from as an officer in the kgb. >> you know this administration has placed a high premium on diplomacy. he said the country is more weary and tired of losing young men and women, we are going to use diplomacy to try to get things done. and we are going to take military forces off the table. >> they have taken it off the table but diminishing the armed forces in the united states. not only enormous p

when you hear representatives with the obama administration saying they are shocked at the attitude of russia and iran. the attitude has been unchanged in the last three years of the up rising against assad and the conflict. the russians were never going to negotiate the result that pushed assad out of power and they were never going to commit it without shedding blood. the notion that they would sit down and negotiate in geneva and the positions that russia and iran have held for three years, they would disappear and anybody in the administration believes that, they are dilutional. >> john mccain calls for more action and the president wants to spent humanitarian efforts. >> i don't think that's going to work. this is a conflict where no one would represent the american national interest. not the al qaeda and other terrorists who are active against it and not the elements of the muslim brotherhood. i'm not sure there any viable sources inside syria today that we can count on. i think this is one of the tragedies that is just going to grind on until somebody wins. >> what are do we do

that question is did the zoning administrator error in the findings met. in the brief before you we have already made our arguments and i don't want to restate those arguments, but i do want to call your attention to finding 3. finding 3 is necessary for the requirements of the substantial property rights. there is no statement to that effect in this decision. moreover no evidence is presented that the variance is in fact necessary. the requirement of finding 3 is not ambiguous in anyway. it's not enough that a variance would allow a substantial property right in order to be granted, the variance must be necessary. the reason for this requirement is that a variance is not to be lightly granted. whenever possible the code itself must be followed. if there are other options for preserving the rights in question, option which are code conforming, they must take precedent and there are other options. e-mails sent to mr. sanchez prior to the hearing laid out options for security. it's not necessary to list them but to know they exist and have been suggested bot

let me say at the outset that i support the administration's diplomatic efforts. i have always supported a two-track policy of diplomacy and sanctions. at the same time i am convinced that we should only relief pressure on iran in exchange for verifiable concessions that will will fundamentally dismantle iran's nuclear program, not by a month or two, but by a year or more. and that it be done in such a way that alarm bells will sound into washington should iran restart its program anytime in the next 20 to 30 years. any deal that the administration deals with iran must be verifiable, effective and prevent iran from ever developing even one nuclear weapon. in my view based on the parameters described in the joint plan of action, an iranian comments in the day that is have followed i am very concerned about iran's willingness to reach such an agreement. this is not a nothing ventured, nothing gained enterprise. we have placed our incredibly effective international sanctions regime on the line without clearly defining the parameters of what we expect in a final agreem

now the administration says pursue your dream by working last. the american dream is to work, just ask till. the house has solutions. getting employment education. we talk about energy and things we need to do. right now we need harry reid in the senate to act. so they can access job training that they need and want. we just need partners who are committed to unleashing the power of the american worker and the american economy. thank you. thes all of you know, report last week stated the president's health care law will cause a drop in powers equal to 2.3 million full-time workers. just when we thought the rollout cannot get any worse, the white house decided to delay the employer mandate again. our friends on the other side of the aisle are defending reduced hours for workers arguing it will create more free time to spend with your family. this law is impacting the employer and employee, who depend on those hours to support their family. i have yet to find a mom or dad struggling to make ends meet who thinks it would be swell if the government in

the obama administration is exceeding its authority. urt watchers expect this to be a fairly narrow decision. there is no guarantee that someone like anthony kennedy will reverse themselves and knock down a previous decision that allowed the e.p.a. to regulate greenhouse gases. this would go to the heart of what people would say is the weakness in those claims against the administration on this executive discretion because we are not sure it can really hold up in court these arguments. >> and the reason that the e.p.a. wants to re-write these rules because congress won't. congress won't do it. the administration can't get them to rewrite the clean air act or to it adjust it. and they couldn't get cap and trade passed. so they are resorting to yet another end run around congress. you mentioned obamacare. it's not just obamacare, welfare-to-work rules. no child left behind. can't get done legislatively it turns to administrative action. >> not just this administration. other administrations have gone to executive action before. >> well, wh

the administration delaying part of the employer mandate until 2016 now, so this delay affects medium sized businesses. can you keep them all straight? requiring companies with 50 to 99 full-time workers to get health care. so another way of putting it, this impacts nearly 8 million americans. and now treasury officials say they're going to require businesses to certify in writing under penalty of perjury that they aren't cutting workers to try to get around that mandate. chief white house correspondent ed henry is live with this very complicated topic. so ed, the president still defending this health care law, but break this down for us because i think people watching at home are going to be really concerned about what this means as far as government intervention into private business. >> well, gretchen, the uncomplicated part of this, we've counted it up and it's the 2 227th time that the -- 27th time that the president has unilaterally changed his health care law. you have republicans on the hill changing noise about how he has been rewriting the bill with all the delays. the presi

and does the administration know how many people have insurance or do they not know either? w and there is so many miscues about the questions that are from the people signing up. one is private insurance and the other is medicaid. they lowered the bar so low as to who can apply to get medicaid 6 million people joined up. if you are above the middle-class like rand paul. if you have a choice, one thing we do know is that 6.28 million americans lost and 3.3 americans gained insurance policys through obama care and so that is a loss of 3 million. >> david asbin thank you for breaking down the numbers. >> and he is considered the most notorious drug lord in the world. will he ever face charges here? we'll look at that when we come back. ♪ ♪ ♪ (bag shaking) (vo) bring the thrill the catch... now with new shrimp flavor.en. friskies. feed the senses. >>> it is the wild, wild west in the sky. drivery drones and have the feds lost the battle to regulate our air space? and word of another stomach virus outbreak on a cruise ship and shocking allegations on board. >> and net cast gives

that the administration should hasten concerted effort to drill down into community effort. that is where the civil rights community comes in. it is not just that we put out a posting that we have five jobs opening, but that these five job openings are drill down so that community people have an opportunity to apply. that is part of the process that the president is looking at to make this much more strategic to drill down to get to the people who are really in need of a job. that is one of the reasons that i believe that he was able to do the executive order for minimum wage. because the efforts that have been going on, in washington and nine other cities, that gave him impetus to do his executive order. >> one of the things you said earlier was that the naacp and other organizations are not in lockstep with the president. one of the complaints that we have seen in the african-american community about this administration is that they do not believe president obama has put enough focus on the african-american community during his time in office. now that we are in his second
