both parties agreed was a good idea until five minutes ago. funding that the obama administration and border experts continue to argue is a good idea. and essential idea. right here in the senate i'm sorry to say my democratic colleagues have fallen in line. based on their actions my colleagues across the aisle that for federal workers to keep going without pay rather than invest 11000th of federal spending into the same type of border security that they themselves voted repeatedly to fund the last two years. have a hard time believing every last one of our democratic colleagues really stands with speaker pelosi. that's hard to believe. is are to blame senate dedemocrats all their recent votes on border security were actually immoral it is better to keep the government shutdown then invest 11000th of federal spending that the obama administration bragged about building. so itt is hard for me to believe my distinguished colleaguesan are understandably very concerned with those circumstances with the federal workforce but to echo speaker pelosi's position then to work the white house to

a crime, but instead of deporting them, obama-biden administration released them out to public, and just said, you know, you should leave the country. that is problematic. we hearings about this in congress, we have removal orders, we either have the rule or not or we don't, when you are ordered to leave the country, you leave. >> at same time, during obama administration they deported three .1 million illegal immigrants in u.s., a lot of people would say that was a good record, keeping things from getting out of control at border, but the same people that democrats, that supported the obama administration sending people back now that are opposed to a fraction of that amount september back. -- sent back. >> that is right because it is now donald trump, you know what barack obama was doing it, he could do no arms. donald trump is doing the same thing, now they are up in arms as if it were a moral terp -- like it was wrong. i di did not like the way that department of did those stats, the border has to be locked down, people need to know if they come across, they will be caught and de

fencing that the obama administration bragged about building. or precisely the kinds of barriers that the men t and womn of law enforcement on the ground insist are vital for their mission. so, tragic it is for precisely the same kind of physical border security which a number of my democratic colleagues here in the senate were perfectly happy to vote to and fast billions of dollars come just as recently as last congress. the 2017 funding measure that passed the senate with 47 democratic votes included upgraded border fencing. that wasn in 2017, just this pat congress, last year. and 40 democrats voted for the bipartisan spending deal that we cleared just this past march. it included within one half billion dollars for border barriers. and then of course the appropriations subcommittee and full committee approved another $1.6 billion for border security andov a bipartisan vote last ju. ten of 15 committee democrats voted to report the final package to the full senate. that's billions of dollars for physical border security when a democratic vote just last year. well, mr. president, th

about what had gone on in those last days of the obama administration, after the election but before the inauguration of president trump. "the times" reported in a bit of a bombshell scoop that in the process of developing that intelligence community report on the russia attack, this report that president obama had requested they put out a declassified public version of it on january 25th, in the course of putting together that report, america's intelligence agencies gathered some disturbing stuff on the subject of that report. quote, in the weeks before the assessment was released in january, the intelligence community combed through databases for an array of communications and other information and began producing reports that showed there were contacts during the campaign between trump associates and russian officials. and that evidence did not stand alone. quote, according to three for r official, american al lie, including the british and the dutch had also provided information to u.s. intelligence describing meetings in european cities between russian officials and others close

2014, 2015, 2016, obama administration. what is u.s. policy toward ukraine at this time? >> u.s. policy towards ukraine since ukraine's independent from the soviet union has been fairly consistent in pushing ukraine on anticorruption reform. that's been one of the corner stones of u.s. messaging in ukraine for decades, and that's been fairly consistent, both under barack obama and under president trump, and you know, under the obama administration this was very much carried by his ambassadors to ukraine who have long played a strong role in kiev in working with politicians there to try and convey the message of, look, you need to clean up corruption. >> what was then vice president joe biden's role? >> so joe biden was obama's point person in ukraine, and he really carried that message for the president. he also oversaw the u.s. response -- perhaps not the u.s. response but the u.s. messaging when it came to conflict in ukraine, the russian annexation of crimea, it was 2014 where you had russia lops off a chunk of ukraine, annexes crimea and then the war begins in eastern ukrain

negotiating that deal. and you can actually see the obama administration change its criteria for what it would consider a good deal in real time. you saw in one congressional hearing, wendy sherman, who was the negotiator at the time, say that a final deal, i'm paraphrasing now, should include missiles. because missiles are the delivery systems for nuclear weapons. and in fact, if you look at the north koreans, they've had a nuclear capability for some time. it's the delivery systems that take more time to get going. if you're going to talk about squeezing a regime that you don't want to have a nuclear capability and deliverability nuclear capability, missiles go hand in glove. you have got to include missiles. so wendy sherman originally told , in an open hearing, that would be part of a final deal within 24 hours the iranians came out absolutely not are missiles included. the russians went in and made sure that they understood we're talking about nukes, not missiles. very quickly, then you saw obama officials say change that and say, now we're talking about what's the language, now we're tal

to seeing you at our future events. now, by the end of the obama administration, fragile bipartisan had advanced over nuclear policy. under this "fragile consensus" the obama administration and congress agreed that the united states would modernize its strategic nuclear deterrent, but would also support effective and verifiable strategic nuclear arms agreements like new start. that said, regardless of your views of arms control and modernization, i think there is broad agreement that that fragile consensus may be "falling apart." there are a number of factors that are probably contributing to this. some experts believe the cost seeshted with strategic modernization is just unaffordable. others believe russia's treaties have raised questions about the efficacy of the u.s. remaining in the new start treaty. other experts believe that the current modernization program is far in excess of what is necessary to maintain effective deterrent and some experts believe that the trump administration's approach to arms control is undermining the consensus. in our discussion today, i would like t

under the obama administration. >> well, not in e numbers that you have today, right? i don't believe that we shouldam be playing with people who want to make their asylum claim, right?ar and so this isof the thing -- part of the policy that i would change. >> you really distinguished yourself in the first debate by drawing a contrast between a fellow texan and yourself. i'd like to take a look at that clip. >> the reason that they're separating these little children from their families'r is that thusing section 1325 of that act, which criminizes coming across the border, to incarcerate the parents and then separate them. some of us on this stage have called to end that section, to terminate i some, like congressman o'rourke, have not. and i want to challenge all of the candidates to do that. i just think it's a mistake, beto. i think it's a mistake. >> i helped to introduce legislation that would ensure that we don't criminalize those who are seeking asylum and refuge in this country.fl if you'ring -- if you're fleeing desperation, then i want to make sure... >> i'm talking about eve

impeachment inquiry. let us go back to 2014, 2015, 2016, the obama administration. what is u.s. policy toward ukraine at this time? consistenteen fairly anti---ukraine on reform. that is been fairly consistent under both president obama and president trump. under the obama administration, it was carried i his ambassadors to ukraine who have long played a strong role in ukraine working with politicians there to clean up corruption. >> what was then vice president joe biden's role? obama's point person in ukraine and carried that message for the president. he also oversaw the u.s. u.s. messaging when it came to the conflict on ukraine and the russian annexation of crimea. and then the war began in eastern ukraine in the spring of that year. the first hot war in the region in an extremely long time. and biden really carried the messaging from obama. the united states that was worried about corruption in the ukraine at this time? for thes been an issue u.s. allies in europe and also for institutions such as the international monetary fund. the cornerstone of the being pushedeory about joe biden a

order basically roof vokes regulations made by the obama administration in twenty sixteen a sensually the director of national intelligence will no longer be required to release information regarding unclassified u.s. strikes and the non civilian deaths that are associated with them and that would be in areas outside of active hostilities the pentagon will still have an obligation to report on civilian cash. well to use in compliance with the national defense authorization act of twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen that was very clear in trump's executive order now this is certainly not the first time that donald trump has indicated frustration with the level of information related to military activities that has been made public for fighting wars and they're doing reports and releasing it to the public so the public believes the enemy the enemy reaches reports and studies every lunna those reports should be part of the reports let him do a report. but they should be private reports it's also important to note that that we have a statement that is reportedly coming from a sp

look forward to seeing you at our future events. by the time, by the end of the obama administration, a very fragile bipartisan consensus had emerged between congress and the executive branch over nuclear policy. consensus""fragile the obama administration and congress agreed that the united states would modernize its strategic nuclear deterrent but would also support effective and verifiable strategic nuclear arms control agreements like new start. said, regardless of your views on arms control and strategic modernization, i think there is broad agreement that that fragile consensus may be "falling apart." there are a number of factors that are probably contributing to this. some experts believe the cost associated with strategic modernization are just unaffordable. other experts believe that russia's violation of arms imfrol agreements like the treaty have raised serious questions about the efficacy of newu.s. remaining in the start treaty. other experts believe that the current modernization program is far in excess of what is necessary to maintain effective deterrence. experts belie

debate last night. a source telling cnn that obama administration veterans are outraged that there were more attacks against the former president than the current one. listen to senator cory booker laying it to biden for his ties to obama. >> you invoke president obama more than anybody in this campaign. you can't do it when it's convenient and then dodge it when it's not. >> and then there's this, it's from the former hud secretary julian castro, who served in the obama administration. responding to biden saying that he only objected to obama-era immigration policies once he started running for president. >> it looks like one of us has learned the lessons of the past and one of us hasn't. >> julian castro will be here on this program shortly, but the biggest battle in the debate and the campaign may prove to be the battle over health care. biden defending his obamacare 2.0-style plan. >> no one has to keep their private insurance. they can buy into this plan. and they can buy into it with $1,000 deductible and never have to pay more than 8.5% of their income when they do it. and i

think they were very inappropriate were built by president obama's administration, not by from. president obama had child separation take a look. the press knows it, you know it, we all know it. i am the one that stopped it. president obama had child separation. i will tell you something, once you don't have it, that's why see more people coming to the coming like it is a picnic. let's go to disneyland. president obama separated children. they had child separation.

bow tie is telling us what america's strategy should be coming from the obama administration? are you kidding? who are you? or better yet who do you think you are? there is only one person who sets foreign policy and it ain't you. it's the commander-in-chief for whom you work. and none of you whackos have figured out why you are there. >> so in this impeachment hearing today where we impeach presidents for treason or bribery or other high crimes. where is the impeachable offense in that call. are either of you here today to assert there was an impeachable offense that call? shout it out. anyone? judge jeanine: a primer, a president is not required to give funds to a corrupt foreign government. he has a right to make sure the money is spent wisely. now they are thinking bribery. except bribery requires criminal intent. the election which apparently started? ukraine and led to the russia collusion collusion is an obligation we have to make sure never happens to america again. but the deep state is dug in to make sure americans never get the truth. the president just yesterday submit

think that decriminalizing border creates open borders. >> obama administration deported more people in history to my understanding, even daca reform happened prior to midterm election. my question, what -- do you have a critique of obama administration policies, and more specifically maybe what changes did the obama administration make that paved way to ter turnover this machin. >> i don't talk a lot about obama administration in the bo book. i would be concerned and remain concerned about the number of people removed under the obama administration. i am an academic not a politician, that is what i would claim to answers why he rolled out daca, i support daca as a policy, i am glad he announced it, i think if we go back to earlier framing how he used discretion, do we use it and have compassion underlying it or do we use it for cruelty, i think we see real differences between the obama administration and the trump administration. and so we can discuss who should not have been deported. or targeted under the obama administration. but i would say that as a matter of policy, the decisi

forces get involved that's in february of 2014. the obama administration responds by saying, about we are going to come and help ukraine and very significantly the point person on obama administration policy is vice president joe biden who goes to ukraine almost immediately. two months after he's driven from power and russian forces start to fin invade ukraine energy company decides it is a great idea to hire the vice president's son as a consultant advisor and board member. now, what is important mark to note is that hunt per biden has no background in energy or ukraine, he's being hired to help them l with regulatory compliance i don't know howow hs going help themm with that. but that's really not the reason that he was hired. to this do we know what he did it? >> we don't know he made a couple of appearances at energy conferences that's all that he did. >> what was he being paid? >> 83,000 dollars a month which was being transferred into financial records in -- morgan stanley in account there so we know the precise amount he wasw paid because we have those documents. hunt per bide

correct the obama administration's failures to respond more assertively to the russian threat, including on election security. so, mr. president, let me make this crystal clear for the hyperventilating hacks who haven't actually followed this issue. every single member of the senate agrees that russian meddling was real and is real. we all agree that the federal government, state governments and the private sector all have obligations to take this threat seriously and bolster our defenses. claims to the contrary, claims that anybody here denies what russia did on president obama's wash -- watch are just lies. not partisan distortion, not clever spin. just total fabrications. now at least this show is honest about what it offers and it isn't journalism. immediately after the host finished his angry string of false claims and called me un-american, another panelist shined in to applaud the remarks, and here's what he said, quote, we're at war. it's time for the democrats to wake up, and we're not necessarily going to play fair. not necessarily going to play fair. well, i should

decriminalizing the border creates open borders. >> hi, the obama administration deported more people than any president in history in my understanding and even the daca reform happened if i'm correct prior to mid-term election and this was in the second term of the obama administration. my question is, do you have a critique of the obama administration policies and maybe more specifically what changes did the obama administration make that paves the way to turn over this machinery of deportation to the trump administration? >> so i -- i don't critique or talk a lot about the obama administration analytically in the book, i would be concern and remain concerned of the number of people removed turned obama administration. i am academic and not a politician so that's what i will claim to answering why he rolled out daca, i support daca as a policy and i'm glad that he announced it and i think if we go back to the earlier framing of how we used discretion, did we use discretion and have compassion underlying it or do we use it for cruelty, i think we see some real differences between the

and i'm quoting this, urged the obama administration to provide lethal defensive weapons in order to deter further russian aggression. did the obama administration provide lethal weapons? >> no, sir. >> they provided mres and blankets and things like that. in your deposition you also said president obama's objection was because it might provoke the russians. and, in fact, you testified in your deposition that the obama administration didn't have a good argument since russia had already provoked and they have invaded ukraine. is that correct? >> that's correct, sir. >> it's a shame you didn't take the advice of combat veteran like you, sir. someone who understands what deterrence provides. because a lot of ukrainian lives could have been saved if he had taken your advice. in your deposition, you said and i quote: happy, you were happy with trump administration's assistance. and it provided both lethal and financial aid. did it not? >> it did, sir. >> and you also stated that it was a substantial improvement is that correct? >> that's correct, sir. >> so now we are providing javelin

obama administration. but you yoself had served in the state department in the bush administration. u have also followed you father's footsteps to the house of representatives, where you have the same job that he d as conference chair. >> yeah. >> which makes you the highest-ranking republican woman in history in the house of representatives. you're also one of the party'sst ngest voices on foreign policy and national security. and it's not a theme that new to you. i delighted in discovering that you wrote your clege thesis on presidential war powers. >> we're going that far back? [ laughs ] >> tell me, as you look at the national-security position of the united states today, do you believe that we're safer today than we were 2 1/2 years ago when president trump was elected? >> well, i think there's no question. i think ifou look at the world that president trump inherited, it was rlly a world where president obama and those around him had decided that the problem in the worldas america and that we needed to somehow limit america, and he took sps to tie america's hands, and i would sa

by sylvan lane, finance report for the hill. the cpb was created during the obama administration. how has the trump administration attempted to change the purpose and practices of the bureau so far? >> while democrats are in kobe support of the bureau pursuing its mission at full strength, republicans and a lot of groups in the financial services industry, advocate for banks, credit unions, so on and so forth, they'll said the bureau was overstepping its mandate, was being too aggressive and was overreaching beyond its powers which they said were also way too much for any one independent agency. so when mick mulvaney became the acting director in november 2017, he started acting all that the key pulled back the bureaus oversight of the financial services industry, he started collecting less data he sought to revise and we can a lot of the rules that had been administered and released under the obama administration in the previous director richard cordray and basically followed a checklist of all the republican industry grievances with the agency in order to pull it back and make up le

it this way it's a de is collation policy now you mentioned the work that the obama administration tried to do on iran but there are also many other aspects of his policy and one could mention the destruction of libya or the failure to achieve any of the american objectives in syria how come that the two years of the. administration which you can argue have an inch of much but didn't do much harm in terms of lives lost are described as a ass show but the obama policy doesn't quite rise to that when it comes to the middle east term policy is not that much different from that it is very much expressing the increasing opinion in the american public that it's time for us to get out of the middle east the middle east as a region seen by the majority of the americans as being a failed teacher and that we have spent blood and treasure in it over years decades and we have not gotten anything in return and so what trump is doing today in syria with his decision last december to disengage from syria of to withdraw from syria is very much a continuation of the obama policy when in two thousand and

traumatization hasn't yet done as much damage to the region as the obama administration did willingly or not is it fair again to describe. the term policies in such profound ways and be so civil and polite about the obama's resolve look i will disagree with you in terms of what obama has done personally i think he has not done enough that's my problem with obama has been is that children have to learn to not i think in syria for example in two thousand and thirteen when there was a threat of and we knew that the assad regime was about to use chemical weapons on a wide scale like he has done in. and already in two thousand and twelve obama has established and had line in the sand about the use of chemical weapons i think in syria in two thousand and thirteen the obama administration should have responded with force and eliminated the capacity of the syrian regime to use helicopters and other if forced to draw better bombs of people said that is a mistake i think it was a mistake for obama for example to exit in iraq in two thousand and eleven when he was not dead yet or the iraqi military

. russia didn't intervene. what actually happened is that it was the obama administration that was setting this all up as a frame job. they were colluding with foreign countries to set up russia to make it look like russia was interfering and to set up the trump campaign to make it look like they were getting help from russia. but it was all a frame job. it was all a false flag operation set up by the obama administration to somehow get trump elected and then undermine him once he was in office. it's never been totally clear how it all worked. but that's the conspiracy theory that the attorney general of the united states appears to have been going around the world trying to prove. just yesterday we had this remarkable reporting about the prime minister of italy who was dragged before that country's parliament, the intelligence committees of his parliament, to answer questions about what he and the italian government and the italian intelligence service had been talking about with attorney general bill barr who has twice visited italy over the past several months. the italian prime

unacceptable interference of 2016 i constantly discuss all we have done to correct the obama administration failures to respond more absurd - - assertively including security. let me make this crystal-clear. for those who have not actually followed, every single member of the senate agrees it is real and is real and we all agree the federal government and the private sector all have obligations to take the threatsl seriously and defenses. claims to the contrary are just lies. not partisan distortion. just total fabrication at least this is honest what it offers and it is not injournalism. with a string of false claims calling me an american another panel has chimed in and here is what he said. we are at war. isem time for the americans to wake up one - - democrats to wake up and we will not play fair. not necessarily going to play fair. well i should say not mister president. remember how msnbc jumped into ethe conspiracy fever swamp over the past two years. they give airtime to individuals who publicly ortreated among other things that a former white house advisor talked about being executed for es

diplomats feeding information. british intelligence passing information to the obama administration on trump. the spying scandal is an effort to circumvent spying laws using foreign partners to spy on their oh poab end of which donald trump becomes the target it's about spying. how is this connected with the impeachment scandal? one of the foreign partners helping the obama administration and democrats spies were key ukrainian officials. there is no doubt key ukrainians were involved in feeding information to fusion gps to spy on donald trump. nellie ohr has sworn under oath that one of her sources for trump was a ukrainian lawmaker. judge jeanine: if obama is trying to curry favor with russia for the iran deal, and clearly he was because the russians annexed crimea. there was no missile defense system, ukraine was like a sitting duck. and all of a sudden they get mad at president trump. he's the one giving lethal aid to fight russia. when you have all these bit players who we can prove are involved in ukraine but are making money in ukraine. like bind, bind's son. then it makes even m

jong il had other ideas. at the outset of the obama administration. the president and his office his staff myself included sought to send messages to north korea to signal that we were interested in. pursuing or reinventing a diplomatic track so you send this message what was it was. the answer was a missile test in the first few months of the obama administration. you were on the offensive gesture it was an act of defiance and it's also going to ask the north koreans have a history of trying to break in a new leader are you there in south korea or in the united states. the younger nuclear facility expanded its operations the obama administration took note but continued to pursue its policy of strategic patience. you know the north koreans used to say to us your your policy is for two three patients a small piece patient as you want to register build a nuclear program and that's what they did you know unfortunately. the talks between the u.s. and north korea continued in new york the participants included robert carlin an expert on north korea's nuclear program who had visited the co

smart play during the obama administration would have been to ask libya as jordan to ask turkey to close the borders. and basically snuff it out. it would have been much easier at that stage as opposed to what they decided not to do and then closing the embassies. all of all of the european union and other countries you leave diplomats on the ground you leave the embassies open it makes it much harder for governments to take actions that are very harsh so there were a lot of mistakes there and look where we are today and look what we have in terms of the catastrophic damage that's in syria that's why every cautious look at an american involvement in minutes because the big question is do you have a strategy or is it. a question i don't know what the trump of mr ation strategy is. but how they presented that. elliott abrams who is the special envoy he has a lot of experience but he doesn't have the greatest table manners when it comes to sharing what it is he wants to get done. i think that's one of the problems of the trumpet ministration has is who is out front and what they're sa

determination on our part and a little bit of money. lou: what i'm getting at is under the obama administration, china extraordinarily increased its influence in this region, in the western hemisphere. i understand the global aspect of their search for dominance as well as their quest to overcome the united states, but i'm talking about in this region, where there is no -- there's no ambiguity about it whatsoever. but there seems to be great ambivalence within our own government about how to deal with the exploitation of civilian initiatives, whether it's building a civilian port, deepwater port that could be used for as you point out the chinese navy, the fiber optic cable systems that are -- offer really just windows to the chinese intelligence agencies. this is mindlessness on the part of the administration of barack obama and what in the world are our agencies doing right now? >> yeah, you know, you go back to previous two administrations and actually even beyond that. they spent much more attention on the middle east and other locations and they neglected not only the caribbean through also latin
