i don't think that it is obama's job -- there's nothing that obama can do to put out the fires. i think what he is trying to do is observe them and speak to what a lot of people do feel. >> can i just say one thing and i will go -- >> wait a minute. he's a constitutional lawyer. he said the cambridge police acted stupidly. he had no facts. he rushed to judgment with trayvon martin. he had no fact a's. it turn out that michael brown robbed a store, intimidated a clerk, fought a cop for his gun, probably to kill the cop and charged the police officer. it never happened hands up don't shoot. it never happened. >> what to you mean. >> he charged the police officer, the eyewitnesses when you read the reports. >> i thought obama. >> no michael brown. >> i understand what you are saying. >> the president invoked michael brown. >> tell the country, be quiet, relax, follow the process and let the process work. he and eric holder the former attorney general immediately jumped in, it is racial case black versus white -- >> if you asked people in ferguson tonight, whether they think it was

race relations in the obama era. in 2008 america took part in a historic election propelling barack obama, the country's first black president into office with a sizeable majority. many hoped that the president would in fact be the uniting force that we all desperately needed. seven years later, this country is anything but united. tonight with the help of a studio audience we'll not only analyze these racial tensions but look for solutions. as a reminder this is what we saw and heard during the baltimore riots. >> breaking news now, continuing coverage out of baltimore where the situation appears to be deteriorating. >> you failed me. this is a joke. they think it's funny. >> chaos in baltimore tonight. the governor of maryland declaring a state of emergency in the cy. >> are you watching this, guys? >> 15 police officers have been injured after clashing with very violent protesters. the rioting continuing at this hour with protesters looting stores attacking police. >> move back. >> we've got looting, the burning o

we had an expert on the obama family in the studio recently whose new book "michelle obama a life" that is about michelle obama and her life. you said i wanted to know what michelle obama set out to accomplish and why. >> it tracks back to where she grew up. she saw inequality all the time and she sees it now. what she is trying to do in the white house is i write about in the book is to un-stack the deck. there is an element of disadvantage, dealing with this advantage kids, disadvantaged adults. very much like what barack obama is doing now. mark: how did you decide to write a book about someone who is so covered and over-covered. peter: we have not gone so deep, we think we know it all and we move on. this was a great opportunity especially in chicago where i am based to go back into her history, her parents history and to see before she got in the white house, she had a 20 year professional career with a separate identity from barack obama. john: one of the things you decided to do is not focus so much on her time in the white house although there was a ring on that but a lot of the

a little bit of weak and incoherent obama foreign policy team. you can afford to overroct to 9/11 when china is week, russia is aligned and the american allies are behind us. next time you do an overreaction, it's 5 and 10 years time, when the american allies say we don't support this. we are in trouble. you have to - this is the election where you see the candidate stand up and say here is what america stands for, here is how to lead. let's get behind it. america is the biggest economy in the world. we are the largest military. we have options. you are the president of the eurasia group. it's a risk research group, people paying you for your advice and looking to see what happens in the future. indispensable america, independent america cannot co-exist. they are separate choices. in the choose your own adventure, what do you think is the right choice. >> i say ultimately that i think if you force me to make a decision, and i think all three can work, independent america, i say, the reason i say that is it's not because of what i want, i do not s

bratton taking a page out of the obama amnesty playbook. president obama just yesterday trying to expand amnesty for illegal immigrants. the president saying the federal government should stop enlisting police for enforcement, leave it to the feds who do almost nothing at all. nearly 70,000 illegal immigrant criminals were released by the feds last year and the government's deportation rate, the lowest in 40 years. amnesty of a sort. >>> we're coming right back. stay with us. much more ahead. the islamic state now occupies ramadi. our commander in chief is worried about global warming. >>> bears turning up in shocking places. we'll have that story coming up. >>> the islamic state occupying ramadi. our commander in chief meanwhile worrying about what he sees as the great national security threat global warming. joining us tonight is congressman ron desantis member of the judiciary and oversight committees also naval reserve officer that served in active duty in iraq and won a bronze star for his meritorious service. congressman, good to have

look, obama does not like war. as you look back on this, the argument from the military was with, let's keep 10000, 15000 troops there as an insurance policy. we all know insurance policies make sense. we have 30,000 troops or more in south korea still 65 years or so after the war. when you are a superpower, you have to buy these insurance policies. he didn't in this case. i don't think you can say everything is because of that decision, but clearly a factor. >> so george, what's the lesson we should take from iraq and particularly as it comes to future u.s. policy? >> four lessons. the government has to choose always on the basis of imperfect information if. agree there were no lies here. it was a colossal failure to know what we didn't know. second the failure to ask the quo, when he was asked by the government of japan could he take a fleet stealthily across the pacific and strike pearl harbor, he said yeah, but then what? he knew they would have on their hands an enormous problem in the united states. third, co

you heard what president obama said. he hurled the ultimate epithet and elizabeth warren saying she is a politics like the rest of us. i don't think she necessarily thinks of herself that way. clearly, the president is irritated. he has a real fight on his hands. he is expecting more support from his own party in this tough fight than he is likely to get. oddly, he has more backing from republican s republicans in the house and senate so far than from democrats. i think he'll win the fight in the end, but it will be a struggle this. was a warning from president obama to elizabeth warren that there is a price to be paid if she continues to oppose the president's legacy item. >> he's gone on to say that he will campaign vigorously for those candidates who are currently in congress who end up voting for the pact in this trade deal. i want to quick get to the first lady and some comments she made this weekend. a powerful commencement speech yesterday at tuskegee university. she talked about being treated differently because

barack obama didn't have a lot of experience. he was a community organizer and then he got into the senate where he was just a couple of years. but his inexperience has really hurt the nation. i mean, especially overseas. he is getting his butt kicked every time he turns around over there. >> i just don't agree that he is this amateur who is inexperienced. >> are you one of the people believe he is actively undermining the country? he wants the country to be weaker? >> i believe that he has a different view of the country than i do. and probably than most americans do. i think. >> what view would that be? >> his view would be that the government knows best. and all the countries where you have people who adopt that philosophy end up looking the same way with a small group of elites at the top, rapidly diminishing middle class and rapidly expanding middle class. that's exactly what's happening. >> there are people who take it further doctor. you know that there are people who say barack obama doesn't like america. we heard that fr

it tells a very different story than president obama told the united states after obama -- after osama bin laden was killed. aaron: this morning on cnn, an analyst discussed the reporting. >> the assertion is not that somebody down the chain and the pakistani military security services might have known something. the assertion is that senior pakistani generals, including the head of the security service, new for years, so while that security service was losing officers in the fight against al qaeda, they were also at the same time secretly sheltering the head of al qaeda. let me break some news for you this morning. aliens abducted president obama 15 minutes ago and darth vader is in the oval office taking decisions for the united states. of a secret source who told me that, widely published? this is nonsense. this is ridiculous. aaron: do want to respond to that, darth vader in the white house? >> of course not. i don't care. that is childish. the reality is, the pakistanis told that were meetings between the head of the pakistani intelligence service and leon panetta, that i write ab

and the supreme court has ruled against the obama administration so often that the obama lawyers must bedown cast. the high court ruled the president exceeded his authority with his recess appointments to the national labor relations board. it goes on and on. since the president took office, there have been 13 unanimous supreme court rulings against the obama administration. the president's legal legacy has already been decided. the real question now is just how bad it will be. for the president i mean not the country. our quotation of the evening by the chief justice of the supreme court who may well have a significant voice in whether the power of the executive branch will be checked as envisioned by the constitution. quote, by insuring no one in government has too much power, the constitution helps protect ordinary americans every day against abuse of power by those in authority. those are the words of john roberts, chief justice of the united states. we're coming right back with much more. >>> most of our inner-cities are being torn apart by violence. new highs for homicide in bot

not barack obama, george w. bush did in 2008. and then you know i agree with michael o'hanlan that the obama administration can be criticized for some things and he wanted to get the troops out by 2012. undoubtedly partly for electoral purposes. but look at that another way, chris. he campaigned in 2008 on getting those troops out. that was a campaign promise he made to the american people. the other guy, john mccain was promising something else. the american people fairly decisively, chose the guy who promised he would get the troops out and he got the troops out. isn't that keeping a campaign promise? isn't that what we always complain these guys never do? >> there's a certain value in sticking to your word. thank you, michael hanlan thank you, michael tomasky, this is something we've been debating for years. >>> coming up, do hillary clinton supporters really care about her e-mails and finances and what friends she keep? will any of this stuff keep her out of the white house? i doubt it. >>> plus jeb bush was supposed to save

why president obama changed the rules today about who gets what. there's over two hundred thousand students in philadelphia. jim kenney and tony williams are fighting over public schools versus charters. i think they're both wrong...it's making sure they all get a good education. teachers should have their contracts respected. they also should be held accountable. and it's wrong philadelphia gets less school funding than other parts of pennsylvania. i'll work with harrisburg to change that. but if they refuse i'll take them to federal court. as mayor i'll do what's right for them. >>> this man is one of two suspects wanted in a robbery and shootout in philadelphia's section last friday. you see the other suspect walk in and confront the victim. the two try to rob the man outside, but he had a permit to carry his own gun. the two sides exchanged gun shots, which is what's happening as you see there in the bottom right of your screen. no one was hit in all of this but police are still looking for the two thieves. >>> a kidnapping phone scam that orig

president obama you need to listen to sound military advice. you need to build up the iraqi military by having more of us on the ground to help them and turn the tide of battle before isil gets even stronger and when they hit us here. if you don't adjust, the price that we're going to pay as a nation is, i believe another attack on the homeland. so, at the end of the day, you can blame bush, you can blame obama, you can blame me, you can blame senator mccannes. we are where we are. and i am convincinged, if we left a residual force in iraq, we would not be here today. president bush, like every other leader in the world had certain information, some of which proved to be faulty. he maudehe made his fair share of mistakes but adjusted. president obama had good, sound advice in front of him to leave a residual force behind. decided to go in a different direction. when they tell you at the white house, well, the iraqis didn't want us to stay, that is complete absolutely fabrication and rewriting of history. president obama, vice president biden go
