Throughout it all he remained in the oval office which is only about 15 yards from where the press normally sits. As you well know a generation ago news rooms across the country did not ordinarily report on bomb threats for fear of the copycat effect. But the rules have changed. Today in the space of a couple of hours there were two bomb threats, one phoned into the d. C. Police that a bomb had been placed in the White House Press room. The president remained very nearby in the oval office through it all. Earlier at the Dirksen SenateOffice Building senators and their staff were evacuated after another phone threat. We need to recess. The police is clearing this. Coincidentally put to an abrupt end a Senate Homeland security meeting. It may be a sign of the terrorrich times and increasing doubts about the nations security apparatus. Doubts laid bare today as the senate panel scrutinized recent security missteps by the tsa and some new ones too. T s a is handing out precheck status like halloween candy. They report pressure to move passengers quickly. I know this is the whole thing of time versus safety. And how quickly can we move people through, right . Yes. Youve hit the essence of the problem. That pressure helps to explain the recent inspector generals report that found 67 of 70 testers were able to penetrate Airport Security carrying fake bombs and weapons. New today the 67 intrusions were not by tsas red team testers, highly skilled in concealing explosives. So the red teams are not yours. And this leaked report is yours. These are auditors that we use who are members of the Inspector Generals Office. Theyre accountant. Which by the way im an accountant i dont take umbrage in that. It was only the latest in a series of snafus. It allowed 73 airport workers to be credentialed for access to secure areas despite their names being on a terror watch list. Advanced Imaging Technology or ait machines that dont detect metal weapons but offend many with revealing body scans. The array of problems and the expense of solving them has Congress Looking at all options from tweaks to a wholesale revamping. Were got to be thinking outside the box. We need a complete review top to bottom. One idea getting traction is replacing Imaging Technology with bombsniffing dogs. Another idea getting traction it will happen within the next couple of weeks, is the nomination and confirmation i should say, of the tsa administrator, peter neffenger, rear admiral in the u. S.

For the second straight day, president obama is putting some not so subtle pressure on the u. S. Supreme court to rule in his favor when it issues its decision on the legality of federal health care subsidies. Correspondent shannon breen. I think this is almost like a bullying technique. The fallout continues today from the president s remarks that not only should the Supreme Court not have taken the case its currently considering, which will impact obama care subsidies being paid out to millions of americans, but also that he expects the Supreme Court to quote play it straight and side with the administration. What is the implication there if you all dont win that case that the justices are playing politics with the issue or they dont know how to do their job . Well i think the president s view is that this is a straightforward case. And in the mind of the president , as he mentioned yesterday, this is probably a case the Supreme Court shouldnt even have taken up. But as long as they have the president believes that the reading of the law is quite clear. Reporter the law says subsidies will extend into states that set up their own exchanges. More than 35 decided not to. But the irs extended them into all states. Socalled obama care architect Jonathan Gruber explained the law this way back in 2012. If youre state and dont set up an exchange that means your citizens dont get their tax credits. I cant account for his comments. He spoke at the Catholic Health association. Despite constant doom and gloom predictions, the unending chicken little warnings that somehow making Health Insurance fair and easier to buy would lead to the end of freedom. The end of the american way of life. Lo and behold it did not happen. The president went on to say in many respects the Affordable Care act has performed even better than expected. Costs have exploded. Not just the cost of premiums but the cost of copays, the cost of deductibles. All this in spite of the president s promise people would see premiums dropping by 2500 for families. The newest reports our premiums are going to skyrocket again this year. There is no end in sight. Some saw irony in the fact the president spoke to a Catholic Organization today about the overwhelming sung says of the Health Care Law at the same time dozens of other catholic groups are suing the president over religious and other issues in the law. The Labor Department says u. S. Employers advertised the most open jobs in april than at any time since the collection of such data began 15 years ago. Stocks were mixed taught. The dow lost 2. 5.

Tomorrow is the oneyear anniversary of the fall of mosul, iraq to isis terrorists. American leaders say the of the to defeat the group will take several more years at least. Even if we were just talking about this from a military perspective, i know were not but lets say we were. Its still going to take three to five years. Its going to take awhile.

Kirbys prediction is consistent with the administrations assessment last september. The head of the u. S. Air combat command tells the times though the fight could last up to seven years.

Referring to hez hezbollah and bashar al assad. President obama downplayed the sanctions relief estimated at 150 billion would be a windfall for irans terrorist proxies. Are they going to suddenly be able to finance ten times the number of hezbollah fighters . Probably not. About the u. N. Special envoy to syria, shown here meeting assad in damascus told experts in washington recently that iran spends 35 billion a year to prop up syrias president. More than twice its entire military budget in spite of the current sanctions. His spokesman later clarified to fox news that he meant to say 6 billion a year nearly half of irans declared military budget. The administration has been pressing its case for a Nuclear Agreement in a series of speeches to jewish groups. Treasury secretary jack lue, an orthodox ju was booed during a conference sponsored by a conference in new york.

Estimates as to how much money is sent by iran to syria to prop up the regime varies greatly.

He said u. S. Allies will stand with ukraine. If aggression goes unanswered our alliance our solidarity and our actions are essential if we want to preserve the fundamental principles of our international order. Bush balked clintons efforts as naive and called putin a ruthless pragmatist. We ought to isolate its corrupt leadership from its people for starters. Giving the sense that were reacting in a tepid fashion only enables the bad behavior of putin. So i think theres lots to do. And were beginning to realize that the reset button didnt turn out so hot. Bush suggested freer u. S. Trade with europe will help both compete with asia and strengthen security for its allies. At a time when so many are still kept down by poverty, tir trksz yr tyranny or both its been clear he hasnt had a plan.

Still ahead, is there a coverup at the state department over a report that makes former secretary of state Hillary Clinton look bad . First Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell joins me live in studio about trying to get the kentucky senator Mitch Mcconnell said there would be changes when he became majority leader at the start of the year. There have been a handful of legislative accomplishments so far. Some of the old rancor has reemerged recently throwing into question just how effective the senate can be. Lets talk about that tonight with Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. Senator, thanks for being here. I want to start by having you get your reaction to what the president said about strategy as far as isis in iraq and that he was waiting on finalized plans from the pentagon. Well i think hes admitted the obvious, which is there has been no plan to deal with isil of any significance since he called them a j. V. Team in early 2014. So its a great failing of the administration at least so far. Are there plans in congress to somehow deal with that the authorization . Do you think that that goes through . Well hes the commander in chief. I mean its up to him to lay out a plan to help take back iraq. And i think clearly at this stage we dont want to refight the iraq war. Were not going to send in combat troops. But the huge mistake, bret, was to not leave behind a residual force at the end of the iraq war which was a successful conclusion for the purpose of training the ongoing training of the Iraqi Military whose specialty seems to be throwing down their weapons and running so that they could take the fight to whoever they needed to take it to. So where do you put the prospects of the authorization for the use of military force . I think the president needs to decide what he wants to do first before he is given some authorization for the use of military force. He obviously think his has the authority to do what hes doing now. If he wants to change the plan thinks he needs help from us authorization from us were happy to take a look at it. Many political experts in washington have always called you a master of legislative logistics. That is until earlier this month. Many republicans questioned what happened . Were you on the wrong side of the nsa debate . Did you misread things and help those programs to expire . Well first of all, we passed over 30 bipartisan pieces of legislation this year. Significant pieces of legislation. The senate is working again. In all of 2014 there were only 15 amendments roll call votes on amendments in the senate floor all year. Weve already had 120 this year. Were up and functioning. On the nsa issue we just had a big difference of opinion. My view was that the patriot act had done a good job of protecting americans in the wake of 9 11. There were others who wanted to water it down. And at least one member of the senate who didnt want even the watereddown version. And so we had a brief period without it. No harm was done. And we moved on. Were you trying to help in any way senator rand paul . I support him for president but i very much disagree with him on the new york sasa issue. I think hes wrong about it. The nsa is not listening to your phone calls. Heres the old situation under the old law watered down. Nsa would have no more tha
