Annexation of territory to enlarge his already substantial power, and the borders of the nation that he rules. The russian president seems intent on restoring russia to a prominence that a generation of russians dreamt of since the fall of the soviet union. Putins imperialism in Eastern Europe is more evident by the day unchecked by president obama saved by rhetoric only. Mr. Obama is a man surrounded by conflict internationally and at home. Just more than a week after a disasterous midterm election, the president promising to unilatealize 5 million Illegal Immigrants by executive fiat. And i indicated to Speaker Boehner, several months ago, that if, in fact, congress failed to act, i would use all the Lawful Authority they possess to try to make the system work better. And thats going to happen. Thats going to happen before the end of the year. Lou but that comment, the president has just expressed, reveals he is in conflict with himself and his record. More than once over the past three years, president obama has acknowledged he doesnt have the Legal Authority to change the nations immigration laws without congressional consent. Here is what he admitted about the limits of president ial power. For me to simply through executive order ignore the congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president. With respect to the notion they can just suspend deportations through executive order, thats just not the case. This notion that somehow i can just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. Lou hes had a new notion, and we think at this point its important to point out to you tonight that as we prepare for next week in what may well be the onset of a constitutional crisis, that there is no explicit constitutional provision or statute and law that authorizes or permits executive orders in any form. But the legality has been sustained by the Supreme Court throughout and executive orders have been used since George Washington was president. The president now is in conflict with his own party as well. Congressional democrat defying the president s wishes by supporting a Keystone Pipeline vote in the senate next week, and 31 members of the president s party voted with republicans in the house to move the pipeline forward. President obama now blasting the merits of the pipeline after years of claiming he was only holding up the project while awaiting a state department review. With respect to keystone, ive been clear in the past, my position hasnt changed, and i have to constantly push back against this idea that somehow the Keystone Pipeline is either this massive jobs bill for the United States, or is somehow lowering gas prices. It is providing the ability of canada to pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the gulf where, it will be sold everywhere else. Lou a marked change of tone from 2012 after delaying the project, the president saying, quote, this announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline. A departure indeed. Turning to the jonathan os m. I. T. Economics professors o condescension taking other lowbrow forms as well. The controversy not helping the president and the democrats find exactly the right message for their Health Care Insurance law, just one day before the 2015 enrollment begins. Fox news correspondent doug mcelway with our report. Reporter the health care architect called American Voters stupid has written in a format he finds specially designed for them, a comic book. Its a matter of this is really hard for anyone to understand. Reporter in it, gruber portrays as a clark kenttype superhero sitting between elephants and donkeys at the negotiating table and shout its a government takeover of insurance. Gruber is facing real life adversaries. Rnc producing an ad called hashtag grubering. Jonathan gruber is one of the selfrespected economists in the world. It would be great to give account for things he said about the American People. Reporter grubers very bad week will continue. Tomorrow the Massachusetts Health connector, that states failed Obamacare Exchange has to be relaunched. He sits on the board. The Massachusetts Health connector is the worst state based exchange under obamacare until today. They do not have a functional website and spent well over a quarter of a billion dollars to get ready to launch one tomorrow. Reporter asked how he would improve it, gruber doubled down. I think move exactly how weve done it. Massive outreach. Reporter a longtime staffer to governor romney said i dont think its fair to single him out. While josh earnest tried to put big distance between grubers controversial comments and the president. I agree vigorously with that assessment. The fact of the matter is this is a difficult undertaking, but ultimately a law that had significant benefits for millions of people that have been able to sign up through the marketplaces established by the Affordable Care act. Reporter logs show gruber visited the white house eight Times Leading up to the passage of obamacare. The white house blog heralds grubers work five different times. One headline reading, quote, m. I. T. Economist confirms Senate Health bill reduces costs and improves coverage. Fox has learned that gruber is raking in millions from health care consulting, not just the money from the federal government for work from michigan, vermont, West Virginia he pulled in 1. 7 million dollars. That does not include profits from this. Lou . Lou doug, thank you very much. The obamacare disaster, one of the Important Reasons voters last week punished democrats at the polls. Senate democrats, however, unfazed by the shellacking and reelected harry reid to be minority leader with a few notable exceptions. The party is searching for answers how to deal politically with a lame duck president and no control in either the house or the senate. Fox news chief Political Correspondent carl cameron with our report. Reporter behind closed doors at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in washington, d. C. , the Political Action committees gathered to regroup after 2014s blowout midterm losses. We want to legislate. Were not for stalling. Reporter though senator harry reid was reelected Senate Democratic leader, since the election, the Democratic Party sunk six points to 36 favorable rating. 6 democrats publicly did not support reid for leader putting on the spotlight dissatisfaction on the left. Reid got the message. Were going to expand our leadership, were going to do things with a different approach. And the one thing that came out of caucus without any secondguessing is that we have to continue fighting for the middle class. Reporter in defeat, democrats are split whether to take a more centrist or liberal approach. Reid tapped one of each for leadership team. Massachusetts fire brand senator elizabeth warren, the feistiest populist in the senate, translation, shell work on talking points with the Senate Democrats war room. Wall street is doing very well, ceos are bringing in millions more, and families all across this country are struggling. I am grateful to the caucus for giving me a chance to be part of that fight. Reporter many wealthy democratic donors are uneasy about the occupy wall streetstyle rhetoric of the party. Reid tapped senator john tester, a moderate from conservative montana to head the Democratic Senatorial Campaign committee. The problem for democrats trying to improve their image remains president and policies. Mr. Obamas reluctant promised immigration executive orders are expected to worsen partisan gridlock. While latino voters were not decisive in 2014, both parties could be in the 2016 white house race. If you want to win presidency, either party, you have to handle this in one way or the other. Reporter both parties want immigration reform. The dilemma for democrats is the president is about to nullify existing laws passed by congress about, to have gop majority members that think the president is seriously overreaching. Lou . Lou carl, thank you very much. A damning new report details the nearly dozen secret Service Failures that helped the white house fence jumper make it into the east room of the white house with a knife two months ago. Among the lapses in security, some officers on duty didnt see the intruder because of a construction project that blocked their view. The canine officer wasnt alerted to the intruder because he was talking on his personal cell phone and had taken his earpiece out. And once the intruder got inside the white house. He was able to overpower a female officer who had grabbed her flashlight instead of her baton. One lawmaker called the whole incident a comedy of errors.

Lou secretary of defense chuck hagel today ordered major changes to the ways in which the administration manages the countrys nuclear arsenal. Hagel said a review of the program uncovered serious, serious problems. The reviews found evidence of systematic problems that if not addressed, could undermine the safety, security and effectiveness of the elements of the force in the future. These problems include manning, infrastructure, and skill deficiencies. A culture of micromanagement and overinspection and inadequate communication, followup in accountability. Lou hagel went onto say the Defense Department would boost spending on the Nuclear Forces by about 10 a year for 5 years. An increase of nearly 10 billion. Russian president putin making an impressive entrance in australia for the g20 this weekend, in addition to the russian warships off the coast of australia. He blasted the west for imposing unlawful sanctions against russia. Putin unrepentant as Russian Troops and tanks continue to invade eastern ukraine. Joining us now, retired Major General robert scales, fox news military analyst. General good to have you with us. Hi, lou. Lou australian Prime Minister tony abbott shared this bit of advice for mr. Putin. He said, quote i think thats what he meant by shirt fronting, the Prime Minister as he threatened mr. Putin. Absolutely right. Putin is like a little spoiled and able sociopath whose parents have never given him any limits, and hes able to run across yoour asia to include the administration who are willing to confront him. In order to contain isis, you have to kill them. Thats the only way they can be pushed back. Russia is different, inept. It has a thin veneer and rotten to the core. Putin knows that, military know that. And all it would take on the part of the eu, nato and the United States is a little pushback. Train the ukrainians, give them first class weapons. The administration has been talking about that for months and hasnt done it. We could turn this around in the 11th hour, but frankly, i dont know anyone whos willing to do it. Lou well, certainly this president isnt willing to do it. Angela merkel isnt willing to do it. David cameron. When we go through what is happening at europes doorstep, it is impossible to comprehend why they are tolerating the level of aggression. Nato looks like a farce, i would like your judgment. Is it a farce, and is it as thinly veneered as the russian military, as you put it . No, lets go back to basics. Old war college saying war is a test of wills not technology. And at this stage of the game, lou, russia has a dominance of will. They want power and influence in Eastern Europe more than nato and the United States does. If you do a comparison of forces, youll see nato is vastly superior to imagine. Lou then why in the world has our generals, nato, european allies and this president decided to simply pitch ukraine and crimea into the hands of Vladimir Putin . A couple of reasons. First of all, i think they see sort of a symmetry of strategic ends. The president says and maybe hes got a point. Lou general, forgive me. The asymmetry. Im sorry. War college phrase, lou. Lou lets talk plain old american [ laughter ]. Lou we look chicken and putin looks smart and tougher than we do, and the fact is hes winning. Do we have any generals . Do we have anybody in this government or some government of europe that understands that once the ground is taken, youve got a real problem about getting it back . Once its gone, its gone, lou, no question about it. Ive spoken to many generals in the pentagon who say okay, this is territory thats contiguous to russia. I got. That it would be hard to stare people down. Give me a break. Put nato forces in poland. Put armored brigade in one of the baltic states. Push up against putin and army, and frankly, i firmly believe as do most of the generals that at the end of the day, hell go home. Lou is the taliban still in afghanistan . Are the poppy fields still growing . They are, they are. Lou same group of generals . They are. Lou im sorry, i couldnt resist. I know. Lou and im going to study asymmetry. A symmetry of ends. Lou absolutely. General, great to have you with us as always. [ laughter ] general robert scales. Time for a look at online poll results, is there any way short of war to stop Vladimir Putins aggression . Only half of you said no. 49 . Be sure to vote in tonights poll. If republicans cant stop the executive fiat on immigration amnesty from taking effect, do you believe they could stop him from remaining in office after second term . Cast your vote at loudobbs. Com. President obama tonight announcing a 3 billion contribution to a new international, quote, Green Climate fund to help poor countries affect the address of Climate Change. The additional money doubles the 3 billion the white house has promised to pay into the fund. Its not clear whether the new money will come from existing source of funding or congress will have to appropriate the money or whether they will indeed do that. A request that we believe will probably upset republicans, so it appears the president who have such deep rooted problems with colonialism has no such problems with imperial rule. Up next, a decaying nuclear arsenal, a comedy of errors at the secret service, a wellpaid consultant who thinks the American Public is stupid and turns out has a lot of support in the administration. And turns out president obama must have been practicing as a community disorganizer. Well tell you why next. So ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts . Thats right. Its just that im worried about you know hidden things. Ok, whys that . No hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates. Im 55 years old and i have diabetic nerve pain.

Lou a few comments on bloated dysfunctional federal government that has grown monstrously large and less productive and ineffective, even as our National Debt nears 18 trillion dollars. The Obama Administration placed a premium on dependency aggressively recruiting more americans for larger benefits and larg
