what has the obama administration done? r talking about solidarity with the community a year ago. meanwhile the unemployment rate, the creation of small business and the restoration of small business in ferguson. it's a pathetic nonevent, the entire past year when it comes to actually doing something as one would've expected from such promises by this administration. are you surprised? are you surprised about that? >> no, i am not. i think this administration has no record to run on. when it comes to urban centers across this country. you have a situation where places like ferguson, will tomorrow, the president's home of chicago is safer for a young black man to walk down the streets of kabul, afghanistan or iraq. then it is and this is in regards to economic opportunity and really providing hope and consequently, with a racial fire burning out of control, they are fire arsonists and they are often adding more fuel to the fire than solving the problem. >> solving the problem here is far more complex, i would judge, than then

drone attacks if you chart the mom am mom aon a graph from the bush administration is a straight curve up and it is the principle to buy which obama and his advisers deal with the terrorist threat, the terrorist threat they dare not name. this is a reliance which the obama administration justified on the grounds that it has been highly successful in crippling al qaeda. a couple weeks ago there was a senior al qaeda official in libya who was killed by a predator drone strike and the obama administration has been able to play to these numbers of high-profile, high leadership positions that have been vacated thanks to creditor drones strikes and the body count if i can use that term for the war on terror thanks to the drone strikes as measures of success. what i find interesting about your book and i am going to ask about that but i want to do it this way. what i find interesting about your book is most of us right now are focused on the threat from isis, you remind us that al qaeda far from being an extinct presence is very much alive and very much part of the terror networks and the growing threats that we have to deal with. what i

the obama administration has given approval for drilling in arctic yesterday. can you talk about the sierra club's response? we are very disappointed. talks aboutnt climate change all the time and talks about it in his trip to alaska. this is a very bad decision. is not a very clean company. mishaps andtory of problems with drilling anywhere in the world, but especially in an area as challenging as the ocean. this is not going to make our climate any better. if we're serious about fighting climate change, and this president seems like he is serious about it, we know we keep dirty fuels underground where they belong. this is a really disappointing decision, one that is not consistent with what this president has done in other change.round climate amy: can you talk about what this drilling could mean and exactly it will take place? there's a very small window, is that right? it is a very short drilling season. this is a cynical issue. canonly reason shell consider drilling in the arctic that's climate change, now it is getting warmer in the arctic, the ice is brea

but now that the ice breaker is back on site in alaska, the obama administration has just given shellinal authorization it needs to start offshore drilling for oil up there. that decision came down yesterday. and today the obama administration was publicly rebuked for doing that by democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton hillary clinton has not broke within the obama administration on many things during this race but today she came out and said she would not have given shell the o.k. then she sent out this tweet "the arctic is a unique treasure, given what we know it's not worth the risk of drilling." then this is what she told reporters tonight. >> i think the very grave difficulties that shell encountered the last time they tried to do that should be a red flag for anybody. i have been been to the arctic, i have been to barrow, our northern most outpost in the united states and i think we should not risk the potential catastrophes that could come about from accidents in looking for more oil in a pristine -- one of the few remaining pristine regions of the world. >> we shou

observedeeks ago, i that if this deal goes through, the obama administration would become, quite literally, the world's leading financier of sen. cruz: in response, president obama got very upset. he interrupted his world travel in between the eighth and ninth hole to attack me, to come after me. he said, that is ridiculous. do not say that. it is interesting. in the course of his attack, the president did not bother to refute any of the substance of what i said. let me give you a simple point. truth is not rhetoric. [applause] so let's review the facts. number one, you ron is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. goesr two, if this deal through, over $100 billion will flow directly to the ron. number three, if that happens, billions of those dollars will go directly to hamas, hezbollah, to radical terrorists throughout the world, and those jihadists will use that money to murder ,mericans, to murder israelis to murder europeans. if president obama doesn't like the rhetoric of his administration becoming the ofld's leading financier radical islamic terrorism, there is an easy sol

but as reported by the "washington post" the obama administration forgot that former attorney generalc holder promised the senate judiciary committee, quote: so it's back to the drawing board. >> we obviously strongly support this secretary, strongly supports president obama's determination made from the very first day of his administration to close guantanamo. it's obviously a top priority. it has remained a challenge throughout. >> reporter: the administration had hoped to get a plan to senate armed services committee chairman this month before congress recessed. but now officials say it will be next month at the earlierest before a proposal goes to the hill. mccain has promised to work with president obama to close guantanamo, but only if the administration can provide an alternative that addresses congressional concerns. it's not just the current ban on moving any prisoners to u.s. soil that has to be addressed, it's also the requirement that the defense secretary sign off on any transfers to other countries, essentially certifying that the vetteled detainees no longer pose a risk

persons report was done so without political influence particularly from other members of the obama administration. both suggests that there was political influence in changing the status, of certain countries such as cuba and malaysia on this year's list, because of on going foreign policy priorities for the obama administration. and even though the senators noted that she was basically saying what she had been briefed to say by her superiors at the state department they also basically have threatened now to continue investigating whether the report was improperly compiled and whether political influence has anything to do with it. in fact, the chairman of the committee republican senator bob corker basically said, that the state department should not try to change the record or destroy emails, because he wants to get to the bottom of what happened with this year's trafficking and persons report. >> rosalyn joe dan reporting. today the nation and people of japan mark 70 years since the united states dropped an aatomic box on hiroshima the events today were emotional particularly for survivors who

again, refused to release the results. >> given complaints like that, was it a surprise that the obama administrationad? they've been expressing concerns about climate change all along but they have -- it seems like they've been enthusiastic about this work going forward. >>? the obama white house must have been disappointed to see the way the calendar was colliding here because obama earlier this month, big climate change speech, strongest action any administration has ever taken and then somebody must have whispered in his ear and said "by the way, that you have arctic thing, you have to approve it and it's one week before you go to alaska and make your pitch." so he looks -- i mean, hillary comes out and mostly looks bad for obama because the other two democratic contenders for the nomination have already said -- bernie sanders and martin o'malley said we don't need to drill in the arctic. so it's mostly bad news for obama. >> tony, thank you. >>> president obama is due to go to alaska within a week to talk about climate change when he's just approved this drilling in the arctic plan for shell. th

, that the consensus within the administration is that iraq is coming apart, the obama administration does not really no longer believe in an unified iraq they made is clear that even though the priority is isil, isil must be defeated first, but at the end of the day iraq will not be rescued. this tells you about the thinking of the administration, basically the pendulum is shifting, and there are those that believe that the sunni-shia division could be filled any time soon. >> is iraq not effectively fractured already? you have the kurds dominating in the north of the country. you have daesh or isil in anbar province in the west. large parts of the country drifting further away from central government control. >> yes, iraq is facing challenge. iraq is undergoing all-out war. isil is a result, a product of the fracturing of iraq. but i do not believe by the chatter of american' least. the iraqis can save their country even though iraq faces social ideology and sectarian deep riffs, but it's up to the people and society to rescue their own country and to rise up to the challenge. at th

a law firm there is suing the obama administration on behalf of 21 children across the u.s.ing the federal government violated their rights by causing climate change. >> these children believe that they have the constitutional right to a safe climate and that this government as well as prior governments have gone about to destroy the climate. >> the lawsuit wants the president to create a national plan to decrease concentrations of carbon dioxide to save levels by the year 2100. >>> local law enforcement ramps up for super bowl 50. how authorities plan to crackdown on the dark side of the big game. >> and check out this friend. just like kids, pets need their shots, too. the important vaccines for your four-legged family members. >> and that looks like my roxy! hi, everybody, from the kpix 5 weather center. let's go outdoors because the coast is clearing. the city by the bay has blue skies. and we have your weekend warmup forecast as the news continues right here on kpix 5. ,,,,,,ç, >>> it's important to keep your pet vaccinations up to date. but as some are older and aren

senior democrat on the senate foreign relations committee, so it is a bit of a blow for the obama administration, but not completely unexpected as he has been critical of the deal during the negotiation phase, and was with one of the members of congress calling for another round of sangs. in the event that the deal fell through. so we with have men mendes saying that he thinks this is a bad deal. and that congress doesn't have to reject the whole thing. they can vote against the deal, and call for the president to go back to the the negotiating table. of course, that is something that the president and the country's that also the other countries that were with involved in negotiating this deal is not possible. so you have bob menendez challenging that motion. which is something that the president did not want. but he did get something else today, and that is the support of some 70 experts in h the area of nonproliferation, which endorse the deal, they sent a letter saying that this is tougher than other deals the united states has signed on to in the past, and that it should be supported so a bi

we expect that at this time next year, the supreme court will have ruled on this, the obama administration can start implementation and it will be front and center affecting the presidential elections. >> you are expecting a ruling in the presidential election year. >> yes. >> if it goes against the president, how would that affect the debate? >> the debate will continue because this is just one piece of the broader immigration debate. we will continue to hear supporters among the gop candidates, and also other things that can be done administratively, the future of 11 main -- million undocumented immigrants. i think the immigration issue will continue to be front and center during the presidential race. >> ok. randy, way down there -- george extensivelyt pretty his stepson immigration reform. one of the things that he said use oforted was required the e-verify electronic system by companies in order to determine whether or not they are hiring undocumented workers or not

why there is a tremendous amount of distrust. >> the obama administration has until september to shore up support. barack obama joined a conference call with the same grass roots supporters that got him elected. >> they are feeling political heat. you have to counter act that. >> the lower chamber has gone home. the senate will leave for an extended recess where they will see a lot of this. the white house says groups linked to the current israeli government are expected to spend $20 million on television ads alone. they are pushing hard behind the scenes. >> congress should reject a bad deal. >> apec is threatening these with cut off of jewish money a cut-off of other sources, they are going to make a lot of trouble. the supporters of apec tend to have a lot of money and influence. >> this deal prevents iran from producing a nuclear weapon. >> there are some groups running ads in support. but theythe white house has a two prong plan. the head of the iaea is going to sell it to the public. the president is going to do that with a speech next week. >>> a plane carrying debris found on t

that the obama administration resents a lot of challenges. at --isy, if you look this better? at the nsa, it --llance that was -- if you look at the drone program. administration increased the number of drones -- drones and pakistan [indiscernible] recently wrote a story about -- they made the decision to name the senior officers who were running the cia drone program. was a great deal of controversy and criticism at the time about that. they felt very shortly that since the pentagon program is public, and the officers who run it are public, and since this was a huge part of american power in foreign policy, that the officers should be named. the cia was very angry. the point is that there is a great deal of secrecy in this administration. it is a challenge to cover. in terms of the white house, we have four white house correspondents, peter baker is the chief. they will tell you how difficult .t is the problem i had with the bush administration also. i will outline the secrecy for you in one way. the other problem is getting access to their thinking. and the debate inside the

. >> sidney blumenthal was persona non grata with the obama administration. the fact of matter is she shouldn't had a whiff of anything that had to do with official business. >> not only had anything to do with official government business, but libya and trey gowdy's committee in congress is trying to unearth and find information about. so, and also she asked to take it face value, the fact she only scrubbed clean all the personal e-mails. how do we know? we don't know. had she turn over server on day one before they used ammonia on it. >> we don't trust hillary. here's the thing kirsten, you mentioned trey gowdy, i don't think it's going to go away, it's dogging her, hurting her numbers and again she seemed extraordinarily testy here, but i think she's in too deep to change her strategy? >> that's exactly the point we're talking about here is trust. and that is essential to getting the nomination and then of course winning the presidency. and showing time and time again that there really isn't a great reason to trust her, why wouldn't you be transparent? that

chemot to get one of my treatments because of the insurance i am on through the obama administration. what would you plan to do differently if you were elected? sen. sanders: what we should understand, and i fear that not every american does understand this -- we are the only major wealthy industrialized country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all of our people as a right. the system that we have is way, way way out of touch with the rest of the world. i will fight for medicare for all. we can improve it and we should expanded to all people. -- expand it to all people. when you do that, not only do you provide quality health care to all people, you get rid of the profiteering of the insurance companies and drug companies. drug companies are charging us, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. and we can provide quality care for all of our people that is significantly less per capita then we are currently spending. that is my goal in terms of health care. host: deborah is joining us from minneapolis on the independent line. good evening. guest: i

had time during the obama administration to get better at campaigning. here we are and she hasn't gotten better as a candidate. they spent so much money so far giver home run the cash, they have two options, keep funneling money into her campaign much like the federal government and see if it goes anywhere or they can pull back and say let's take a look at our options here. joe biden is maybe going to get into the race, bernie sanders maybe not a viable choice for the country for winning the nomination, but we should take a look at that. we should acknowledge, though, that hillary clinton's support isn't just coming from these big money donors. $45 million she announced in july actually came to the majority of the people donating $100 or less. >> she has more than anyone else rumored or not rumored to be in the race. >> well, you know, money helps but there is something, and i've studied this, about the numbers and the money following the numbers. almost like all the money guys sit around and ordain a candidate. they're smart, they hedge their bets. wall

and former secretary of state hillary clinton looks back on her time serving in the obama administration in "hard choices." in "a time for truth," texas senator ted cruz recounts his journey from a cuban immigrant's son to the u.s. senate. carly fiorina former ceo of hewlett-packard, is another declared candidate for president. in "rising to the challenge," she shares lessons she's learned from her difficulties and triumphs. south carolina senator lindsey graham released an e-book on his web site. in "my story," he details his childhood and career in the air force. former arkansas governor mike huckabee gives his take on politics and culture in "god, guns, grits and gravy." and in "leadership and crisis," bobby jindal explains why he believes conservative solutions are needed in washington. ohio governor john kasich calls for a return to traditional american values in "stand for something." george pataki is also running for president. in 1998 the former new york governor released "pataki" where he looked back on his path to the governorship. and kentucky senator rand paul calls for small

so we they that was a big option, a big learning that the obama administration could have taken from the new deal, but did not. finally, all right, i think -- we have a whole lot about the relationship to the roosevelt administration to the popular movement of the time. that us what -- is what we call it a decade of defense. that was a very complicated relationship. roosevelt administration didn't give in completely at all. people, radicals helped parties of the left, including communist parties. the administration sometimes used that as a way of saying, well, give us our more moderate reforms. but they did -- just to concentrate a little bit on labor rights which were certainly expanded to the new deal cost -- recovery act, later that was made more permanent and was more controlled through the act m of 1935, as a result labor triples. one of the important things about the relationship of the roosevelt administration to these descend was that they really did not believe in suppression of decent. roosevelt may have coopted but very against the use of on-force. particularly in relation

i mean, it accumulated power over the entirety of the obama administration. ticular with the carbon dioxide rules, the epa is accumulating more power, this won't help them. it is like when the irs accumulated more power under obama, it did nothing to help. >> and the administration that endows the epa with the new coal rules which are essentially destroying the industries raise rates has a long-term effect. at the same time it can't actually work in a mine and remove the toxic chemicals without causing a disaster. incompetent and omnipotent at the same time. >> that is it for the panel, but stay tuned for an eye-opening wake-up call. introducing otezla, apremilast. otezla is not an injection, or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. some people who took otezla saw 75% clearer skin after 4 months. and otezla's prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. otezla may increase the risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depressi

i believe that is a deliberate stance on the part of the obama administration. and this sense of disconnection, i think, has been and will be heightened by the escape of el chapo. because what was the first news to come out in the new york times? that government officials had immediately -- u.s. government officials immediately contacted the u.s. government offering assistance to help find him. drones and all sorts of intelligence and so on, and that the mexican government was not responding. so tie that to the hypotheses about el chapo's escape, and you'll understand the frustration of the u.s. government regarding mexico's handling of el chapo and others. and there was a fascinating piece about how el chapo was actually captured with u.s. assistance but that assistance was never made public. so if, indeed, that was the case, and that was reported by someone from washington, if the u.s. helped capture him but it was presented by a triumph of the pena nieto administration, how does the u.s. feel now that he's escaped two weeks after the extradition request was pu

the george h.w. bush and clinton administrations first, then the george w. bush administration in which i served and the obama administration up til the end of 2014. .. in we needed strong u.s. presidency, but you have to simultaneously convinced that the purpose of that is not to do a deal away and things china cares a lot about. >> i think we have had successes on them on relations during the george w. bush ministration, it was successful in doing two opposite things at once and stabilizing the situation. that was a strong support for taiwan and strong warnings against the use of force back into the fold from the mainland perspective and at the same time assuring that opposed, provocative measures in taiwan, in particular the 2007, 2008 referendum to a prize from the un under the name of taiwan which was seen as an assertion of taiwan independence from the mainland. if you do both of those things at once it looks less effective and it looks less necessary. it doesn't look like the u.s. position is designed to promote something that china fears. in the obama administration i think the have handled the disput

ago i observed that if this deal goes through, the obama administration would become quite literally the world's leading financier of radical islamic terrorists. in response to that, president obama got very upset. he interrupted his busy world travels in between the eighth to attack me, to come after me. he said, that's ridiculous, that rhetoric is too much. do not say that. in the entire course of his attack, the president did not actually bother to refute any of the substance of what i said. let me give you a very simple point. truth is not rhetoric. facts.eview the todayumber one, iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists. number two, if this deal goes through, over $100 billion will flow directly to iran. number three, if that happens, billions of those dollars will go directly to hamas, hezbollah, the houthis, radical islamic terrorists throughout the world, and those jihadists will use those billions that we control to murder americans, murder isra elis, to murder europeans. if president obama doesn't like the rhetoric of his administration becoming the cier of le

as reported by "the washington post", the obama administration forgot former attorney-general eric holder promised the judiciary committee: it's back to the drawing board. >> we obviously strongly support the secretary, the president obama's determination made from his first day of his administration to close guantanamo bay. it's a top priority. it has remained a challenge >>> the administration hoped to get a plan to senate arms services committee this month before congress recess. officials say it will be next month at the earliest before a proposal goes to the hill. mccain promises to work with president obama to close guantanamo, but only if they can provide an alternative to address congressional concerns. it's not just the ban of moving prisoners, it's the congressional requirement that the defense secretary sign off on any transfers to other countries. essentially certifying that the resettled detainees no longer pose a risk to the u.s. it was a source of tension between former defense secretary chuck hagel and the white house last year. hagel was reluctant to give personal assuran

the obama administration again for your own viewers subscribes to realism. american officials frequently talk about the importance of human rights, the importance of not to violate the human rights of opposition, but again, the reality is the obama administration prioritizes security, and the priority is the war against isis, the priority is the war against terrorism, the priority is business as usual for the next one year, almost one year and a half during the obama administration's tenure. >> all right thanks so much. we are going to continue this theme, because it's difficult to understand the modern say situation and concerns about spreading iranian influence in some parts of the arab world without understanding the history to this. many would argue which began of course, with the instruction of iraq in the state that it was, let's bring in a politics professor and senior fellow at the middle east center at the london school of economics joining us live from london. good to have you with us. many would argue that the iraqi invasion of kuwait was perhaps t

but if there is a confirmed link here, does that cross the line for the obama administration? he implication is that it was in some stockpile that got overrun and isis got ahold of it without any cooperation with the assad regime. there is another aspect to this that there are repeated claims by human rights organizations and syrian rebel groups that the assad regime is using chlorine. chlorine wasn't part of the deal brokered with russia and the u.s. to get rid of its chemical weapons. it's illegal under international law. but it's not part of that original deal. so at this point, i don't think you're going to see much of an escalation by the obama administration against the assad regime. >> bob, he's talking about the fact that it is believed these were from long leftover stockpiles and isis mixed the mustard agent themselves. is that what you think is most likely? >> i think so. there's no evidence the syrian regime gave these weapons to the islamic state. you can't rule it out. but they've got technicians that could do this, put them on warheads, mortars and fire them again

because right now, even the obama administration is on notice that the american psychological associations opposed to some of the policies that are still in existence -- for example, interrogation policy of the obama administration includes the army whichmanual appendix n uses techniques or permits techniques that have been banned by the u.n. committee against torture. today, the america psychological association is saying to the obama administration that we inhuman,that cruel, integrating treatment and none of our members can participate in any of those activities. it is time for you to change that army field manual, time for the u.s. to follow the american psychological association and ban any technique, any condition bet is considered still to torture, cruel, degrading treatment. we want to lead the way and have the obama administration follow us. amy: how many people are on the council? >> 172. the vote was overwhelmingly in favor. there was only one opposed. amy: that person opposed? >> larry james. and larry james has been a strong voice to keep psychologist in those settings in the

do any of you feel with the obama administration that the u.s. was pivoting away from in europe towards asia? ramon, why don't you start. ramon: first, thank you for allowing me to participate in this panel. concerned,ecurity is i do not think it will ever happen. in the task of securing our values, we have a community of interests. it is true that maybe economically, the discovery of the pacific as a world statesred by the united will make that sentence become famous. three months after my arrival in 2012, we went over 900 points in spain. there was word that we were going back to the bailout. feel about what was happening in spain because it also affected the u.s. >> the impact on the economy. ramon: absolutely. in that sense, i don't think that the president has been as .trong or as visible i don't think the u.s. is looking for allies in asia. >> was there ever a sense in france that there were concerns about a lack of interest in washington towards europe? the obama administration certainly wanted to spend more time on asia, but they were for

so much so it was recently revealed a couple months ago by the new york times the obama administration has adopted a new definition of militants, which says that any military aged male and a strike zone, meaning any male who dies above the age of 16 or below the age of 55, is automatically deemed a militant without knowing anything else about them. this is how we have come to think about muslims, to the extent we think about them all, they die at the hands of our violence justifiably because even when we don't know anything about them, we assume they are militants or terrorists. this has been so indoctrinated for so many years in the mindset of americans that i think it really distinguishes this form of persecution from prior once. i don't mean it i mean it is a unique form of how this persecution is justified. another unique attribute of the current persecution campaign is that as we move further away from the precipitating event, in justifypitated the abuses, the 9/11 attack, the injustices actually worsen. to become more extreme, not less. what is amazing about that, if you look at

. >>> jeb bush blames hillary clinton and the obama administration for the rise of isis and he outlinesing the terrorist group. he called for establishing a no-fly zone over syria, defeating the regime of syrian president bashar al assad, and embedding u.s. troops with iraqi forces. he says pulling u.s. forces out of iraq gave isis an opening. >> that premature withdrawal was the fatal error, creating the void that isis moved in to fill and that iran has exploited to the full as well. isis grew while the united states disengaged from the middle east and ignored the threat. and where was the secretary of state? where was secretary of state clinton in all of this? like the president himself, she had opposed the surge then joined in claiming credit for its success. then stood by as that hard-won victory by american and allied forces was thrown away. in all of her record-setting travels she stopped by iraq exactly once. >> let's bring in cnn senior political analyst david gergen and cnn political commentator and bush supporter ana navarro. so, david, this was a big speech. jeb bush's first
