john from florida, you are up first with michael warren of "weekly standard."aller: my question to you, you know jeb bush is running for president. why is it that in 2013 in "the new york post," jeb bush said we should be celebrating fracking because it happens in north dakota pennsylvania, other states, and he is involved with fracking, he and his family, and in texas they have a situation now where they are going to court because they banned fracking in one of the towns in texas. my question to you is why isn't the media talking about asking president jeb bush, or soon to be president jeb bush, about fracking? guest: i am not sure about the specific lawsuit the caller is talking about. this is somewhat of a problem for jeb bush and it was a problem for mitt romney, in a lot of ways -- the sense that these candidates are a part of big business, the wall street crowd, and it plays into the republican party's perception that it is a party for the rich. of course, on the democratic side, hillary clinton has a big problem with this. she is very well-connected with

host: michael warren with the "weekly standard" is our guest.r: i would like to follow up on the lady who mentioned three candidates and was inferring about the last-man standing nomination process the republicans seem to have. i was extremely disappointed in the elections last year because all of the republican experts picked john cornyn to win his senatorial election, not because he was the best candidate, but because he was unbeatable. mike pence has been in the news lately, and i am just curious as to how your guest and your callers would feel about going to lafayette, indiana, and talking about mitch daniels. he was an excellent governor. he was part of the bush administration -- the director of the office of management and budget. it seems the key is the obvious candidate that no one is looking for -- looking at. guest: something that "weekly standard" wrote a lot about in the run up to 2012. mitch daniels is the president of purdue university. seems to be comfortable in the academic standing. i think the caller is right in the sense that

and michael warren writer for the weekly standard. of the sudden in this country, there is a great of concern about terrorism, according to at this time pugh research center. the top public priorities for president obama and congress terrorism ranks at 76 percent the economy which is noramly the number one concern is 75 percent. michael, this is a president who spent time talking about the scourge of terrorism and the troubles with iran those are two issues that he bashed the bush administration and six years later we are trying to handle them. >> in 2008, barak obama was running against the bush administration and shift the paradigm away from terror talk and pull troops out of iraq and afghanistan and don't engage in enhanced interrogation and diplomatically with iran. that's what he ran on and what we have had. around the world the terror threat is high as it has been. and the enemies are emboldened and our friends are attacked. the paris attack is an example. and the polls are showing that americans are concerned about terrorism. t

michael warren is a staff writer for the weekly standard. thank you for joining us.rawn out question explaining what the house republican plan was trying to do, but since we've already explained it let's get to the point. can they accomplish this in the wake of the terrorist attacks going on in paris? >> i think you have to separate what happened in paris and this threat renewed threat which is really a constant threat from al-qaeda from what republicans are trying to do. the white house is trying to make is seem as if republicans are wanting to defund the department of homeland security tikritcal time of the of course republicans want to take away the funding from this very small part of dhs that would enforce the immigration executive order. the problem is that republicans really don't have all the cards here. the president still is the president. he could still veto any effort to defund that and then republicans are sort of left with the choice. do they not fund dhs at all or do they fund it completely, including this part that they don't like? that's kind of a to

for more, i'm joined from chicago by bill warren and from los angeles, michael shure. jim, the president said veto pen is said to be primed and ready. the senate bill was five votes shy have a veto proof majority. is the president going to win this one? >> yes. should web concise? yes. rarely have so many fought so long so hard for so little. effective tools that were given both sides in the last year for at least fundraising, but on the policy grounds, the significance of this is far outweighed by the symbolic significance and ultimately, obama's got the votes. nothing will happen. >> is this a lose-lose for the president, if he doesn't veto it, he runs afoul of the democratic base especially environmentalists? >> in that case, it's not a lose-lose, probably a lose-win. it's something that the american people have moved past in a large way. even the voters of louisiana marry landrieu in trying to keep her senate seat in a run off tried to make this her last stand and she stood no more. i think the presidencies and finally came through with this. he wants the last word

. >> joining us from los angeles is al jazeera political correspondent michael shore and from washington, d.c, james warren, bureau chief for the new york daily news. jim i'll start with you, you heard the speaker, here we go again. much of the gop has been add pantly opposed to the president's immigration reforms and they voted for this bill. there has been a split in republicans, house leadership is courting the far right and possibly alienating the hispanics. >> they are courting the far right and alienating the hispanics with these immigration provisions for sure. i started my day with a courtly conservative southern congressman bob goodlatt, who laid out the basic condition that drives us mainly that the president has usurped his constitutional rights and prerogatives and that is blatantly illegal which is not only arguable but probably absolutely wrong. i think big surprise today of sorts was not what happened on the main piece of legislation but an amendment that really shafts this group of young immigrants called, the so-called dreamers. i think that was a huge political mistake. it just snuck by b

civil rights charges against police officer darren wilson for shooting michael brown in ferguson, missouri, we are joined by vincent warrenhe executive director of the center for constitutional rights. welcome back to democracy now! were you surprised? >> not terribly surprised. it is disappointing because i think a range of people want a measure of accountability. when you look at the federal civil rights laws, it is a much higher and harder burn for them to prove these types of charges. they're going to have to essentially show during wilson intended to violate mike brown's civil rights. there are ways they can do that i looking at the totality of the evidence, and what he said, but i think their view is, the evidence just is probably not enough to support that higher burden of proving intent to do something based on race to violate his civil rights and that way. >> what about the ongoing investigation of ferguson by the justice department? >> the department of justice has two options, one is the criminal route, which looks like is not going to happen with respect to during wilson. but they have civil lawsuits against t
