had nothing to do with the obama administration. had to do with market forces. and they worship the market. you can't -- i hope they are not trying to undo market forces here and have some kind of socialist dictate. what's happened? coal use is bumped up a little bit as natural gas has become a little bit more expensive. that was about economics and not policy. so bottom line here is, should we allow without any regulation blowing the tops off mountains, dumping them into valleys, spilling in streams, and pretend it has no impact on the environment? i would say no. karlsson the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new jersey reserves the gentleman from washington. mr. hastings: i'm very pleased to yield three minutes to the author of this legislation, the gentleman from ohio, mr. johnson. the chairman: the gentleman from ohio is recognized for three minutes. mr. johnson: today i rise in strong support of h.r. 2824, the preventing government waste and protecting coal mining jobs in america act. legislation that i introduced with my friend and colleague, congr

and the majority was not appointed by the obama administration. me, is pretty interesting. this supreme court doesn't want to hear their case i think that that's where the home school advocate's anger should be directed. now, granted the administration didn't support them. they want to court to say they shouldn't. i wonder if this family could have stayed in the u.s. under any other circumstances. people come to the united states all the time. not asking for asylum, but they come for the same reason this family did, for freedom. >> well, they still may stay here because this president famously exercises what he calls enforcement discretion. and it's up to him to decide whether to enforce the deportation. this family is not here as immigrants but seeking asylum from persecution. that's what asylum means. and the administration argues, i'm afraid technically rightly that, in fact, they are not persecuted because the law that they have a grievance with is not applied to their family or category of home schoolers but to all germans. furthermore, we see

it went the way it did over obama care. k it is a broader issue with the democratic party and the leader of the democratic party barak obama has low approval ratings and that will carry over for the red districts and the democrats running. >> the thing that david jolly said last night the concern of obama care and concern about government in our lives and david he didn't just mention obama care. he referred to taxes and the overregulation and the way washington d.c. is acting today. if that extends beyond the west coast of florida, what is the midterm strategy and the message for republicans come november? >> the message has to be broader, bill. it is not just obama care, it is it all of the issues that are combined under the presidency to kistern's point and president obama and his failed issues and failed policies whether we agree on what failed or not. that's how they so. it the democrats will do what they did in the district. trying to participate the opponent as someone to run away. bringing up the social issues and it

the price of oil. it dropped a dollar a barrel when president obama left 30 minutes ago. t sure what the connection is. the man who shredded the california budget. he may just have a chance to become the next governor over there. big cheers after speaking at california's gop convention over the weekend. >> god bless you. stuart: he got big cheers. does a republican have any chance of winning a statewide election in california? >> absolutely not. by the way, he has conservative stances on abortion, immigration and guns. stuart: you cannot do that. >> with that being said, he put out a very important message. he got very, very brave responses. that is business. he is speaking out for small businesses. he went to california. he started a business. he says the state of california chased his customers out of the state. he wants his estate back. these things could go a long way, as far as if you stop to a business type message. stuart: he will pull better than other republican candidates. stuart: they have you outraged by that. democrats are now asking the website to the late th

president obama after hurricane sandy. more on the kelly file, tune in or set your >>> as a candidate, barack obama promised he would be a transformative figure who would move the country forward. but to some, it seems as if america is in retreat. consider this, the president has proposed reducing our army to the lowest level since before world war ii, after pioneering man's space flight, american astronauts cannot venture into space or return home without paying putin's russia. here on our own soil, the president's critics fear that we have not seized our own initiative inherent in our nation's own abundant resources. and in a move that even former president clinton has questioned, the president is ready to give up control to the internet. good evening, i'm bret baier. tonight, fox news reporting, surrendering america, we start with the internet. some say it is the most valuable real estate ever. is the obama administration planning to give up our secret password? james rosen investigates. >> what you give away with the stroke of a p

do you believe the obama has abused that? >> i'm not sure of that. uld settle for if osha or the mine safety health administration or epa or department of transportation, if they would make this kind of information and data available, that there has been terrible foot dragging on the administration's part. i do not wish to throw the baby out with the bath water and say the use of the foia stature like a quasi key cam tool is appropriate because the kinds of information that we need to keep classified is things like when a state senator in california is negotiating with an fbi agent to bring in cells of all kinds of all kinds of weaponry to potential international terrorists, that person's name and his associates is released would jeopardize the investigation and could jeopardize our national security. absolutely we have to be very careful about that, and there ought to be better tools to used to get the information to the public. >> how does a guy like nelson mandela stay on the u.s. terrorist list until 2008? and how do records that pertain to that s

off the air. >> late night talk show hosts skewerring president obama over his response to the ukrainians. >> president obama threatening them with economic sanctions. that is the latest. yeah, obama said if russia did you not pull out of kiev we're not going to let them pore borrow any of money we borrowed from china one billion to the u. to help save lives, one billion. wow. then detroit was hey, can we did to war with russia? what do we have to do? snool lou: jimmy fall o fallen is the late night frontrunner. we'll keep you posted, new book, the naked future, makes a case that advances internet, smartphone technology to predict your futpure, author turn ser next, and will allow technology to control our future? what does everything mean to you? with the quicksilver cash back card from capital one, it means unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything you purchase, every day. it doesn't mean, "everything.. as long as you buy it at theas station." it doesn't mean, "everything... unl you hit your cash back limit." it means earn 1.5% cash back on every purchase, every place, every occasion, all

senator john mccain said similar things of the obama white house. n the foreign relations committee hit back today at them. listen. >> i've listened to some of my good friends on the republican side try to score political points in connection with the russian move on crimea. trying to paint this somehow as obama's fault. this is a ridiculous contention. putin marched into georgia in 2008 under a republican president and many considered to be strong on foreign policy and now doing it with the democrat in office. >> earlier i spoke with republican senator marco rubio of florida. senator rubio, you outlined eight items which you said the u.s. must do and should do immediately, economic issues, diplomatic issues against russia. it seems like the obama administration out of those eight have already embarked on a number of them. what more do you want the united states to be doing? >> well, first of all, let me recognize that they have and i've been pleased with the reaction to this. i think that key to all of this, of course, two things. first is allowing

the united states. so whatever that dialogue is, it is bound to help obama. however the problem is that income and equality is not just a function of the way the pope puts it if i may say so. it is a function of technology and international trade and that won't change. >> hold it. let me get this in. president obama's meeting with pope francis give income and equality added interest in america? >> yes, definitely. >> i hope so. very modestly. >> blessing on it and issue three, mega move. >> there is a process that is taking place where we have to win back the trust not just of government but more importantly of order citizens, the step we took that was announced today, i think is an example of slowly systemically putting in checks and balances. >> president obama announced changes to the way the national security agency, the nsa collects the phone data of u.s. citizens or does it collect it as the case may be. ten months after the revelation for the former nsa contractor edward snowden dealing with the international collection of storage, called the meta data

they felt the obamas could help them and vice versa but the relationship evolves over time. they didn't really like each other or trust each other at first and then it -- they started to and actually one of my favorite quotes in the book quite possibly is republicans talking about what it is like to work with her and they called in the stages of hillary. q go into it thinking guy got to work with this woman, it is going to suck. then you hit the acceptance phase, i am working with her, let's see how it is and then you start working with her and actually like her and you think she is funny and wise and adds something and you end up enjoying the whole experience and this is coming from a really top republican. >> that is how the new york times described her book. eventually you get to the point that you really like it. we hope you like it right away. we will take a liking that by the end. thank you so much. really appreciate it.

and the first time obamas and clinton people figured out what to do. these backroom sessions like conference calls, how do we handle this but long story short the secretary calls him and says -- was an to the secretary then, but she says, groping what she says. haven't seen the picture but i hear my hair looks great. that gives you an idea of this personality that shines through doesn't always shines through but we might see a little more in 2013. >> why do you think that is? should she not show it? why not do that in public? >> that ties into what surprised me which was the raw emotion she has, if you read the book read each of the quotes two or three times. it response to things in her close circle in a very direct decisive sometimes emotional way you almost never see publicly. that surprised me. whether it is positive or feeling compassion for somebody who lost an aunt or uncle, whether it is a negative thing, that she was kowtowing to superdelegates that come to her side. in her own words emotions you don't see from the public, i would encourage you

and i hold the obama administration responsible. >> and in the world of diplomacy. and president obama spoke for an hour. 90 minutes on saturday. what's going on. >> a lot of it is translation. >> what is going on, frankly that lasts that long? >> it is not like the conversation we are having and not free flowing and their staffs work out their talking points and an opportunity to present it through a translator. >> an hour wfrgz're conversation may be a half had an hour. it is not negotiating at all and once again, they have to talk to theirs and tell the american people i am talking to vladimar putin and putin tells his people i am talking to the united states about this and we are looking for a positive resolution. >> and you are saying that putin is negotiating now. are we getting something out of this. >> it depends on what we want. the president is calling for us to keep the sovereignty of the ukraine. that would be a positive. and we go back to the status quo before the situation unravelled and we don't have any violence. one of the things that it amazes me is

here we are in year six of the obama administration, and not even that was able to get done? >> i think if we're looking at legislation, you know, for us we have been focused all of last year in passing and pushing the legislation, right. we needed a legislative solution because that's really the only permanent solution and the only way to get people on a not fast track to citizenship, because it's 13 years of hard obstacles to be able to reach that citizenship at some point. but while we were focused on really first getting dreamers to come out, and then getting families to come out because we needed to show as dreamers, as undocumented immigrant use we are who we are today because of our parents, and if america got to know who we are, and the work that we led for many years by coming out, sharing our stories, that we also believe that america would welcome and accept our parents. and other undocumented people in the community. oftentimes people can act from a place of fear and ignorance. if you don't know who these people are, if you understand that we are your neighbors, yo

the people of egypt heard president obama, i would argue. ertainly contributed to the movement which became known as the arab string. i was in tahrir square. i heard those young people and what they wanted, and what they want is democracy. now when the united states allows that democracy to be derailed, look, morsi, the muslim brotherhood candidate who became president, failed governance, he was not a good leader, but he was elected by the people. when you allowed the military hunta to come in and overthrow morsi, you have now undercut your entire argument that you believe democracy is a universal right. >> this sets up two different possibilities what would constitute the definition of a successful foreign policy. this may depend on whether you are a syrian person still dealing with the brutality of that crisis, right? and, similarly, whether or not, you know, sort of this discourse actually leads to an arab spring that changes how people are governed. >> absolutely. it calls into question what you can call a win essentially. 50% of the chem

[ gunfire ] >> a tense standoff between russian and ukrainian forces in crimea. the base has been surrounded by russian troops for the past few days. ukrainian commander walks unarmed towards the russians. two rifles pointed right at him. he's backed up by 300 of his own troops who are also unarmed. the exchange ends with words, not bullets. but it's an example of the tension in the region. russian forces have surrounded ten ukrainian military bases and later in the day warships from both ukraine and russia were headed toward crimea and as military tension increased so too did the rhetoric between the united states and russia. here in kiev, secretary of state kerry toured independence square, the site of so much bloodshed just last month and paid his respects at shrine for those killed in the protests. after meeting with ukraine's new leaders he turned to russia. >> it is clear that russia has been

after the first couple -- >> bush and -- >> mccain and obama 2008. t couple days their policies really aligned a lot more closely on georgia. as susan pointed out, at that time bush was on the sidelines, the more tempting weapon was to go after his handling of the iraq war. that's why bush skated through '08 without that much criticism and why barack obama today is a magnet for criticism. he still has a lot of time in the oval office. republicans looking to get a good position in midterms or in 2016 he makes a nice target. >> one of the lessons, susan, it doesn't matter what the approach is of the president. putin's going to do what he's going to do. >> i'm glad you made that point because in the end it's about putin. secretary clinton, people may pe debate her points but this is an action that wasn't putin looking at obama in the eye. this was putin op technical analystally seizing an entire chunk of a neighboring country. >> thank you so much. >>> up next, they cut his mike but that didn't stop the shouting of a u.s. congressman. >>> welcome back to

is the obama administration planning to give up our secret password? james rosen investigates. >> what you give away with the stroke of a pen you only get back by the barrel of a gun. >> that is bradley blakeman, former senior adviser to president george w. bush, and he is referring to the administration's intention to give over the corporation that gives out ip addresses, in essence, blakeman contends the u.s. will be giving up control of the internet. >> in essence, you say this is part of the president's strategy, and i'm quoting, appeasement and pandering. what do you mean by that? >> what i believe is that the united states thinks we have to apologize for our power. the fact is that america is the most free and open country, has made the internet available not just to americans but the world. >> the commerce department's long-standing contract with ican is set to expire, the plan is to have a new body but global in nature, supporters, which include businesses such as verizon, google, say the shift is long overdue. >> this is all about separating th

the white house announced 6 million people enrolled in obama carr. not included in the break down is how many people signed up and never paid and enrollies came from the 6 million policies that have been cancelled because of obama care. and one of the problems plaguing one of the obama carry exchanges too big to overcome. maryland will abandon the on line system and replace from technology from connecticut's marketplace. this after sinking more than 100 million in a system that failed for enrollment goals. molly has the news from washington. molly, maryland and what they do there may interest so many other states. >> reporter: to see if states set up obama care successfully could share software and coding with other states such as maryland. maryland 20,125 million setting up the health insurance on line. and the governor o'mally said there would be a change to the site saying it is not working as it was supposed to work and that means using connecticut's system. a representative would not confirm a deal with marry lapd but said a lot of states will be

is the obama doctrine working? are some republicans undermining the president abroad? tonight on "crossfire." >>> welcome to "crossfire." we're continuing cnn's breaking news coverage of the crisis in ukraine. i'm s.e. cupp on the right. >> we have a former presidential candidate and former pentagon official. today we saw big hits that the tough diplomacy with russia might work. kerry delivered a billion dollar package to kiev. behind the scenes, the obama administration has put together a crippling set of proposed economic sanctions. while the president is busy doing his job, his republican critics keep trying to undermine him. freshman senator and self-appointed foreign policy expert ted cruz writing under the headline language of fools -- have laid mer putin running rampant shows how the obama administration's abdication of global leadership is making the world a more dangerous place. thank you very much for that help in a crisis, ted cruz. ted cruz is taking cheap shots. meanwhile, his republican friends are actually trying to raise money on this crisis. instead of

chairman, there is a war on coal by the obama administration. it's being carried out every day throughout this country in many ways through rules and regulations imposed by radical agencies like the e.p.a. what we are doing here is pushing back and saying enough is enough. stop killing jobs in america, mr. president. stop increasing energy costs for american families. hardworking taxpayers who are strullinging in this bad economy. the president continues to pursue in this global warming agenda, it's snowing outside the capitol right now as we speak in support of this bill. they are still talking about global warming and imposing more regulations that are killing, killing americans jobs. if you look at the sue and settle process that brought us to this point that really is the reason behind legislation like the bill we are bringing up today, the sue and settle process that the obama administration is using through agencies like the e.p.a. in this case has resulted in 7,000 lost jobs. and is wreaking havoc in 22 states. just one rule, this isn't a

what pressured the obama administration to let them stay? >>> ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. >> thank you. thank you very much. and welcome to huckabee from the fox news studios in new york city. well, the question most often presented in light of the crisis in crimea is, what should the president do? well, let me be so bold as to say it's the wrong question. because the question is, what should the president have been doing the past five years to avoid this knot? vladimir putin didn't just wake up one morning and impulsively order his soldiers to drop in crimea to have a look see at the port. he made a calculated gamble at the barack obama who fumbled the ball in syria worse than peyton manning's o manning's opening snap in the super bowl and turned his red line into a red face, that botched a once egyptian ally into the hands of putin. but whose only flexibility seems to be with the truth. the president obama who relaxed sanctions on iran and then got face slapped by the iranians who danced in the streets, forgetting what the

at the outset of the barack obama administration came the reset. secretary of state - then secretary of state hillary clinton presented sergei lavrov with a reset but yop, and with it a promise of negotiation. there was a treaty signed by president obama and dmitri medvedev. and they signed off on the libyan work. the reset saw some setbacks. after congress passed a law invoking actions over human rights, vladimir putin retaliated with his own law, prohibiting americans adopting children in russia. there was a meeting that was famous for frosty body language. at the g8 summit and others. then the syrian civil war. putin backed bashar al-assad. he does. president obama called for bashar al-assad to go. it was the n.s.a. scandal with edward snowden. president obama considers him a fugive. he was granted refuge in russia. there was a series of public snubs. the nest g20 hosted by vladimir putin. president obama cancelled a bilateral. the two met informally. there was more sniping, decidedly undiplomatic language, president obama compared vladimir putin

fast forward to the obama administration, clueless on the world stage, completely clueless on the war front. president obama has no war strategy, fickle foreign policy and a paperer tiger immanual. all the while threatening just about everybody and going after just about nobody. never meaning what he says or saying what he means. his policies are destroying our country, putting our troops in harm's way and endangering america's security. his blof yating is creating ill will around the world. pity the next president of the united states. now, the skirmish hasn't even begun between russia and ukraine yet president obama runs out to a press conference last night to get in the middle of the fight warning russia that there will be cost for any russian military intervention. take a listen. >> indeed the united states will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in ukraine. >> really, mr. president? what are you going to do? your red lines become pink lines which in the end makes look completely yellow. and just this afternoo

the world. president obama also said that the u.s.er european allies will continue to rely on economic and diplomatic pressure on russia. and he did denied that russia's land grab is an indication of diminished u.s. influence on. that points he received strong agreement from the prime minister mark ruta. >> there is no gio polight come conflict which can be solved without the united states. and therefore i am applause the fact that president obama's administration is active in every arena. you rain, iran, syria the middle east peace process and so many other parts of the world. >> that was netherlands prime minister mark rutte. the president obama says the world is a messy place but that the u.s. has consistently been able to get coalitions with international community around a core set of principles. del. >> and candle, on that note the president indicate that go if nothing else, they seemed to be to be keying keeping the eye on the prize saying had there been nukes right now in you crying, the crisis there would have been much worse

the russians put a lot of pressure. obama cancels it unilaterally without even asking the polls and the czechs. leaving their leaders way out on a limb. humiliating them and telling eastern europe you think you won your freedom at the end of the cold war? well, russia still has a hand. i'm allowing the russia to influence your future. >> i don't recall. there was an explanation from the obama administration on why they did that do you recall the explanation? >> their explanations were completely bogus. what they wanted to do is to show the russians. they wanted to show to putin that they were open, accommodating. obama's whole theory of international relations was,i'2 if i'm nice to iran. if i offer them all kinds of goodies, if i'm nice to the north koreans, if i'm nice to any adversaries anywhere, i will give them an open hand. remember? open hand, more respect for the muslims. he wanted to show the russians that he was -- he was willing to bury the hatchet on all the past and then he wanted cooperation other areas. putin l

off the air. >> late night talk show hosts skewerring president obama over his response to the ukrainian crisis. >> president obama threatening them with economic sanctions. that is the latest. yeah, obama said if russia did you not pull out of kiev we're not going to let them pore borrow any of money we borrowed from china. >> one billion to the ukraine. to help save lives, one billion. wow. then detroit was hey, can we did to war with russia? what do we have to do? snool lou: jimmy fall o fallen is the late night frontrunner. we'll keep you posted, new book, the naked future, makes a case that advances internet, smartphone technology to predict your futpure, author turn ser next, and will allow technology to control our future? in the new new york, we don't back down. we only know one direction: up so we're up early. up late. thinking up game-changing ideas, like this: dozens of tax free zones across new york state. move here. expand here. or start a new business here... d pay no taxes for 10 years. with new jobs, new opportunities and a new tax free plan. there's only one way for your

the obama administration announcing it is considering plans to give up u.s. oversight of the domain registry of the internet. it's currently controlled by the commerce department, but could be handed over to some sort of international agency. critics say this would put control of the web into some really dangerous hands. >> the obama administration argues that this is necessary because the internet now exists under the control of one government and that's dangerous. there is some logic to that, isn't there? >> i don't trust any other government, the chinas of the world, russias of the world to control that which they seek to not have available to even their own populations. i don't want america subject to others who are not as free and open as we are. >> what about that? richard fowler is a democratic strategist, radio talk show host. he joins us. danine joins us, director of the outreach for freedom works. good to see you both. danine, u.s. programmers invented the internet. they advanced it and nurtured it and protected it and did so in a remarkably competen

he will speak to our first guest says the obama administration needs to ensure that the new prime ministerhe ukraine doesn't leave the united states empty-handed. he needs proposals and plans for moving forward. former vice chief of chat general jack mckeon. general, great chief of chat general jack mckeon. general, great to have you with us. >> good to see you, louis b with two obvious and perhaps helpful display of support on for president obama bringing ukrainian prime minister to the white house. what does he need to do now? >> first of all inging him here as you indicated is a good thing. we are bolstering this new regime and that is a huge message to the people in kia and the people in the greater ukraine. so, you have to give the ministration credit for that. i hope he provided him with the details of what our actions would be as a result of the referendum that will take place in the secession will, forward and certainly the occupation of crimea, which is artie taken place. and give him some sense that the united states will be there and i would think that the present is also speaki

i have to apologize for the way the system is set up? >> obama interest in reducing the debt. the priority is to increase entitlements. he wants to spread the wealth. >> everybody in cleveland, all the minorities got an obama phone, you sign up, you on food stamp stamps, you on social security. >> it is just very difficult to beat santa claus, especially if the alternative is your own santa claus. >> contraception can cost a woman over $3,000, that is practical a summer's salary. >> bill, the point is, we have not massively expanded the welfare state. >> all right, we bring back our studio audience, before i get to the audience here, i see everybody is dying to jump in. all right, let me put on the screen, americans receiving food stamps, we now have 47 million americans, that is a lot of people being impacted. and then americans at the poverty line, 46.5 million. this turned into -- joe biden, when was not on "the view," obamacare, frees up women not to work at dead end jobs and they can stay home and take care of their children. watch this, bec

the obama administration has lost credibility around the world. their reactions to a host of revolutions especially during the arab spring have been seen as ad hoc and very hard to understand. they have ruined relationships with allies with the lack of consultations and there is a perception of a lack of leadership and obama, if you read his bloomberg interview today, doesn't acknowledge that perception. >> i think the ad hocness is something that i've heard a lot of. and i guess what i feel coming out of this is that if the choice is between some sort of rigid dogmatic theoretical framework to understand all of this or ad hoc in relation to a bunch of revolutions that had been ad hoc in the way they pinged around the world, you know, that -- i feel like i choose the latter if i am forced between them. and this is key, it's very hard for me -- i think what julia said before is key. we have to as a first condition recognize what our limitations are as influence in how these events unfold. julia, josh, thank you both. that is all for this evening.
