, the isil fighters. this issue has been labeled as a top priority for the obama administration. what is being done? >> that's correct. first of all, i think there's two ways that we have tried to approach the -- the issue. on the one hand we're providing for immediate humanitarian assistance. we're trying to make sure those communities that have been displayed and are residing in other areas, have the basic necessities that they require. they have access to things like water, sufficient food, nutrition, shelter and so forth. so that's phrase one. making sure these communities are able to continue on. i think step two is the longer and harder part. it's actually trying to figure out what is an approach and the solution to dealing with the type of displacement and the conflict that is causing a deep-rooted unsettling, that is causing a -- a -- really the deacon deacon deacon-- deconstruction of these communities. >> secretary kerry noted that 75% of the world's population live in countries that don't allow religious freedom. we're talking about places like hungary, and france, and gree

states. the obama administration is released a new set of guidelines governing rules for travel money, technology and more. now the hard part starts. that's inside story. hello, i'm ray suarez. because a small number of americans had to deal with the restrictions you might have gotten the impression that since the embargo of trade and travel to cuba might have changed. things would freeze and thaw. there were high profile cultural exchanges. then there would be incident and provocation and the doors would slam shut. now the new administration in the face of angry push back against republicans are hoping to take the u.s. out that have freeze-thaw cycle for good. the obama administration moved on its promise on friday. the opening of banking relationships, and the allowance for americans to travel on a general license for authorized purposes and projects. americans who visit cuba can return up to $400 worth of goods. >> this easing of the economic embargo will allow lives to improve. >> this relaxation of rules comes days after the release of 53 political prisoners a step agreed t

obama white house comes from a, quote unquote unidentified obama administration employee. you'll remember another unnamed white house staffer. referred to the prime minister as a chicken expletive and a coward back in october for refusing to de-escalate tensions with his muslim neighbors. the escalation and personal attacks means the prime minister can't ignore even israel's friends when it comes to threats. but iran won't be outdone when it comes to threats against israel. the iranian state news agency published pictures of netanyahu's children and calling for a hezbollah hunt. mr. obama is assailing our key ally in the middle east. and seeking -- only for a time with our enemy the islamic enemy of iran. former ambassador daniel among our guests here tonight.

obama administration has a goal that the new epa climate change rule to cut the percent of carbon based on 2005 levels by 2030, given how important clean energy is to the company, have you thought about creating some sort of goals? >> we have thought about creating goals for the company -- yes. the thing that is a little bit unnerving about the obama administration's 2030 goal, i start off with what do we need to be by 2050 because that seems to be the year the world's scientist oka sans, 2030 is a little bit of a convenient -- scientists focus on, 2030 is a little bit of a convenient year. the reason you pick 2030 instead of 2050 is because between those years if we stay on our present course, natural gas will dislodge nuclear, every nuclear plant in the country will retire between 2030 and 2050 because we have not built a new plant in the last one permitted was 1979. when gas displaces coal you reduce your carbon and when gas displaces nuclear you go in the wrong direction and that is not what we can afford to do so we have to look at the glide path down from 2030 to 2050. >> go

success stories there for the obama administration. what about international affairs? >> well you know, when you talk about success stories i guess it's in the eye of the beholder.

for the obama administration. it now admits it made a mistake by not joining with 40 world leaders to condemn radical islamic terrorism in paris. we have two reports this evening. >> i'm saying romney is running. that's what i'm saying. >> that was way back in september. so how did i know mitt romney would make another run for the presidency? we will tell you. >> do you admire the fact that the president went golfing after that american was beheaded? >> yeah, if he was on vacation. >> also ahead, watters world, the hero edition. >> dreamy eyes. >> yeah, he does. staring right at me. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. hi i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the subject of this evening's talking points memo. as you may know about one and a half million people demonstrated in paris france on sunday. demanding an end to radical islamic terrorism. 40 leaders led the march which received worldwide coverage but among those leaders there was one big absence. the usa. president obama, vice president by den secretary of state kerry an

"cashin' in" class in session starts right now. >>> hi everyone i'm eric bolling. our "cashin' in" crew, wayne rogers jonathan row lick. come and go as you please. you heard the white house saying their attitude toward americans hog overvaes to train with terrorists and allowed to come back. there are growing calls to revoked the citizenship much anyone who does this. michelle, we saw it happen in france, why take a chance here. >> i have no idea. look, if there is proof that someone has gone and joined isis, not only should we revoked thei

washington, d.c. the event included law professors discussing the obama administration's use of executive order, and whether the action of such the balance of power between congress and the executive branch. this is one hour and a half. >> good morning. it is now 9:00. we will get started. welcome to the 2015 academic program, the topic, dysfunction and executive lawmaking during president obama's administration. my name is rachal. i want to thank the committee for selecting this program and the staff for all of their hard work in putting together the conference. i am supposed to say if you things before i give my opening remarks. the attendance sign up sheet for this session is in the back of the room. we value your feedback. you have gotten a form. please take a moment to fill out the form at the conclusion of the program. i want to acknowledge a couple of professors for co-organizing this program with me. the idea for the program was born out of our own work as immigration scholars and in , response to the conversation over the legality and legitimacy over president obama's executive a

after obama administration official bent over backwards to explain that the taliban is not considered a terrorist group. we'll discuss all these verbal gymnastics with general robert scales. >>> the obama administration setting a date for the start of the president's amnesty plan. legal experts lis wiehl and rebecca rose woodland will stop what the gop calls a presidential overreach. >>> and guess what? two days away from the super bowl. if you're more interested who will win the battle for the best super bowl ad we've got you covered. sports marketing legend and budweiser executive is here with us. we begin with mitt romney, surprising the political world with the announcement he will not be running for president a third time. fox news chief political correspondent carl cameron has our report. >> reporter: three week to the day after saying he was seriously considering a third presidential run mitt romney held a national conference call with supporters and pulled the plug. >> it's critical that america elect a conservative leader to become our next president. you know that i wanted to

. up next the obama administration the hiring a thousand bureaucrats to deal with the president's legislation on immigration. here's what our fox affiliates are covering. wga in atlanta all over chick-fil-a over a credit card breach. they were notified of suspicious activity in mid-september and said they will release more information. in new york, the nypd plans to honor the two recently slain officers by naming streets after rafael ramos and wenjian liu. the two streets will be in brooklyn where the officers lived. this is a live look at los angeles. the big story there tonight the 126th rose bowl parade which would not be deterred by the near freezing weather or high winds that was strong enough to send tents flying. this year's team was inspiring stories highlighted by the riderless horse by louis zampirini. he passed away in july and we honor his memory tonight. we'll be right back with a lot more news. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees from the

go, is the obama administration now set to cut a deal with the syrian dictator? >>> plus the senate passes a keystone pipe line bill as the president set his sights on the new fossil fuel target. is alaska ground zero for the next energy showdown. >>> and mitt romney bows out. as two gop governors inch closer to a 2016 run. who is most likely to benefit from his exit? >> so syria's future can begin. >> the only way to bring stability and peace to syria is going to be for assad to step down. >> assad needs to go. he needs to transfer power to a transitional body that is the only way that we'll resolve this crisis. >> welcome to "the journal editorial report," i'm paul gigot. well, after repeatedly calling for the ouster of syrian president bashar al assad, is president obama changing his policy? the administration sources are leaking that the president now thinks assad and his regime may be part of the solution. as the priorities shifts to defeating islamic state. this as moderate syrian rebels claim that u.s. money and supplies have all but dried up over the past several months. eve

: despite obama intention congress passed laws that limit what he can do in the band administration efforts to move detainees to an empty federal prison in the state of illinois and congress won't allow the detainees to be tried in federal court. recently a group of u.s. senators introduced a bill that would suspend nearly all detainee transfers for two years and ban all transfers to yemen. >> it's one thing to make a campaign promise, but if you look at the security situation that we are facing around the world right now now is not the time to be emptying guantanamo. >> reporter: and then there is the problem that predates the obama administration the status of 35 men known as indefinite detainees. both the bush and obama administrations called these men too dangerous to release, some are unable to stand trial either because they claim they were tortured or because the government says it doesn't have enough evidence to try them. some of those detainees can now ask a parole board to clear them for release. so far six of them including this person of kuwait have been successful. huma

with jihadism and radical islamism. a term that the obama administration will not use. white house spokesman josh earnest says because it isn't accurate. >> we want to describe gaktdly what happened. these are individuals who carried out act of terrorism an they tried to invoke the religion of islam in their own deviant view of it. we haven't chosen to use that label because it doesn't describe what happened. >> joining us is a foreign affairs columnist, brett stevens and board member dorothy rabinowitz. what have we learned in the past week about the terror attack in paris and in belgium? >> well, that it's connected with events in the middle east. the claims by al qaeda and the arabian peninsula that they were responsible, obviously we have to investigate -- >> you find that credible? >> of course i find that credible. this is a long-standing pattern we have, tremendous amount of evidence that the brothers and the collaborator spent time in yemen. they had known anwar al awlaki, who radicalized people like the ft. hood shooter. so it's a reminder that's what happening with the co

did wrong and why the obama administration administration is running away from the situation coming up next. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees from the bank where no branches equals great rates. i've been called a control freak... i like to think of myself as more of a control... enthusiast. mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't. and national lets me choose any car in the aisle. control. it's so, what's the word?... sexy. go national. go like a pro.

standpoint. >> the obama administration has long put the focus on india but the promise of increased trade has not really panned out. the obama administration is hoping modi can change that. one priority, changing indian laws that would make it easier for american companies to build nuclear power plants. that would help with other priorities in this trip, getting india to take steps to combating climate change. >> there is no chance that u.s. and india are going to strike a bargain akin to what the u.s. and cline did. india is, quite frankly too poor and behind china to commit to so much targets. >> the obama administration is aware that this trip could be interpreted as much more than a three-day visit. they insist he is not taking sides between india and pakistan because president obama has never been to pakistan, and in another first he is the first u.s. president to visit india twice while in office. patty colhane al jazeera, washington. >> a group of 11 men and one woman has run seven marathons on seven continents, and they did it in the space of a week. they have gone from anta

cooperative federalism under the obama administration in the area of environmental law, her scholarship focuses on energy policy and climate change, and then finally we'll hear from professor hari osofsky from the university of minnesota, and she will explore president obama's use of executive in authority to address climate change in the context of federalism and energy partisanship. professor osofsky's scholarship focuses on governance and justice concerns related to energy and climate change, so thank you so much for joining us and we'll start with professor metzger. >> thank you. thank you, raquel, and i'm delighted to be here. in particular talking about the subject of this panel on the role of federalism and how it relates to congressional dysfunction and executive law making. i think that topic and and that combination is particularly important, obviously timely. but it connects not just to recent prominent events but it also connects to some very interesting trends in politics administration and governance and in scholarship. so what i thought i would do today is actually, first

nuclear program. risen has waged a seven-year legal battle against the obama administration's attempts to subpoena him and force him to reveal his source. it's unclear if risen will be forced to testify at sterling's trial. james risen's hearing comes as the administration has backed off on a threat to subpoena another journalist, "60 minutes producer" richard bonin, at a trial over bombings by al-qaeda. "the new york times" reports the u.s. attorney in manhattan preet bharara, has withdrawn his recommendation to subpoena bonin over interactions with al-qaeda's press office during a bid to interview osama bin laden in 1998.

against myanmar. that really puts a lot of risk on the table for the obama administration's foreign policy plans. part of what i think the obama administration felt good about accomplishing was moving forward with the engagement and one of the key ingredients of that being able to move forward was sitting down with all 10 leaders and foreign ministers, which was predicated on normalizing and opening relations with myanmar. so, mike, i am not sure that it is bipartisan. i think that the administration has played a responsible role in here. our ambassador in rangoon is a former csi actor obviously has his act together. hey, derek. but i think that the administration really needs to work hard on the hill to make sure that they are not sort of unrealistic in their expectations, but that we do have a very nuanced and effective advocacy for human rights and democracy in myanmar. because if we don't lead with those points, we will lose a lot of ground in asia. and i would just make one point here that i think is important. if you look at trends that i think are really important in asia, ac

. >> going back to that goal. the obama administration has a goal with these new rules to cut 30% of the carbon based on 2005 levels by 2030. given how important clean energy is to your company, have you thought about such a goal? >> we have thought about creating goals for the company. i think the thing that is a little bit unnerving about the obama administration's 2030 goal is -- where will we need to be by 2050, because that seems to be the year that the world scientists focus on. 2030 is a little bit of a convenient year to say, look how great we are, because for now until 2030, you naturally get this carbon reduction. the reason you pick 2030 instead of 2050 is that between 2050, if we stay on course, natural gas will dislodge nuclear. every nuclear plant in the country will retire between 2030 -2050, because we have not built a new nuclear plant in this country since 1979. when gas displaces coal, you reduce your carbon reduction. we have to look at the path, the glide path down from 2030 22050. >>to 2050. >> is a lot of talk about natural gas being good for the climate. as you sa

question __ of course, the obama administration has a goal to cut 30% of carbon based on 2005 levels bby 2030. do you think given how important climate and clean energy is to your company, have you thought about quitting some sort of goal? >> we have thought about quitting goals for the company __ creating goals for the company, yes we have. but i think the thing that is unnerving about the obama administration's 2030 goal __ word we need to be by 2050, because that seems to be the year that site is focus on. 2030 is a little bit of a convenient year to sort of say __ look at great we are. from now until 2030, natural gas displaces call. and you sort of naturally get this carbon reduction. but the reason that you pick 2030 instead of 2050 iis that between 2030 and 2050, if we just at our present course, natural gas will dislodge nuclear. every nuclear plant in the countrywill retire between the year 2030 and 2030 because we haven't built and a new plants in this country. the last august 1979. so they will all be at the end. and when gas displaces coal, you reduce your carbon production.

country is look at six years of i think failed big government liberalism from the obama administration, any conservative who can articulate an alternative vision to that and do so in a compelling way i think will be in very good position next year. >> so who will the conservative or the republican be running against? lanny, you have come out lanny, you have come out for hillary clinton. probably not surprising you've known her for more than 40 years, i think you went to yale law school together. but let's say i'm the average democratic primary voter and i'm against wall street and i'm mad about the various wars. why in the world would i support hillary clinton? >> well, first of all, she's the most qualified candidate the candidate that has the most traditionally liberal view in the mainstream of our party. i don't know what you mean by close to wall street. she accepted money from people who work on wall street as did barack obama. >> let me just pause here paraphernalia thet parenthetically she accepted more money from wall street when she served in the senate. i'm not mad about that but

administration has been lean and what about the obama administration has been le mean? there's nothing there. >> listen there's nothing there. >> listen, i got to get equal time with two of you. i know you guys are upset that the economy is doing so well and you can't claim that under obama it's done poorly. >> it's the slowest -- >> i'm saying -- >> one at a time, gentlemen. i know. lanny, steve makes a really good point. i mean, she is very much -- to call hillary clinton an innovator, she's not you know, someone who's going to radically rethink the nature of man's relationship to the state. >> you're great at the phrase -- all i can tell you is that the popular polls right now show that they all disagree with the three of you conservative republicans. >> do they? so we have an actual -- what famous pollster? >> -- because of qualifications and looking to take her country -- >> let me interrupt this infomercial, do people support hillary and if so, why, is she going to run? >> i believe she's going to run. at this point she does have a 10, 12 even 14-point advantage. but at one point

with the obama administration which had a has doubled down on its position that north korea was responsible for the hack on sony pictures. officials and organizations u.s. security firms have questioned the decision to attribute the situation to north korea. those analysts don't have the evidence president obama has. loikslibby casey has the report. >> this is the first imposing sanctions on a country because of an attack against a company. the nature of the hack which they say was destructive and coercive and u.s. officials are standing by the assertion that north korea was responsible for hacking sony pictures. they say that this is part of a larger plan to push back against the threat of cyber-attacks. now there are already sanctions in place on many north korean entities including the three targeted today. so this is symbolic in many ways. but here are the groups that will feel the sanctions: one is the intelligence gathering arm of the north korean government. another is the research and development arm for defense and the third is known as komid maim exporter of equipment

implemented restrictions that the obama administration placed relating to lobbyists. so in terms of understanding how the lobbying disclosure act works, it's a little bit weird because the registration is done by an organization or by a firm a lobbying firm or law firm, but it's triggered in the first instance by an activity by an individual employee of either an organization like a nonprofit organization, trade association or a lobbying firm, of course, could be public relations firm lobbying firm or law firm. and basically, an individual becomes a lobbyist if that individual makes two or more lobbying contacts on behalf of his or her organization if she's in-house. or for a particular client. if this is for -- if we're talking about an employee of a lobbying firm or a law firm. and in addition, spends 20% or more of her time at any calendar quarter on what's defined as lobbying activities for that client. and these -- in these definitions, in particular, lobby activities is the heart of the problem that professor therber spent a lot of time dealing with and explaining and grapplin

approached the world and the obama administration has approached the world and the evolution of the role of the white house and the role of the national security council has changed so much during that period and has been so central to so many issues that it would that it would be worthwhile to take a look at it in a book. and i embraced the idea for several reasons. one was i liked writing the last book because i i get to go out and talk to all of these people. in the course of this book i spoke to 150 people including folks like these including 40 from outside the united states, about half and half from each administration. and that for me is the greatest joy of this. because i want to say something and it's really sort of the core of my framing remarks here which is contrary to the conventional wisdom of washington, okay? it's contrary to conventional wisdom that's offered up in the media, of the people i've spoken to and of the people i've met in washington since i came here 21 years ago, those who devote themselves to public service in the national security arena and the foreign pol
