Death. He was also suffering from lewy body dementia in addition to early stage parkinsons. The second most common form of dementia after algz himers with 1. 3 million americans suffering from it. I hope we bring awareness. Thats it for us. Special report is up next. This is a fox news alert. Im bret baier in washington. Tonight fox news has obtained brand new documents from a Government Agency containing detailed proposals for president ial action that could lead to legalization for millions of undocumented immigrants. Executive action that sources say could come as soon as next week. Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill with breaking details on what promises to turn into an em pick showdown on Immigration Reform. Bret, no question about that. Sources say president obama was briefed on this proposal before leaving on his trip to asia and is expected to announce his
executive action on immigration as soon as next week. In this draft proposal from a Government Agency, up to 4. 5 million Illegal Immigrants living with americanborn children would be allowed to stay in the u. S. , an expansion of defefrd action, also expanding children for daca who came to this country with their parents following president obamas action of june 2012. Also included is a pay raise for i. C. E. Officers in order to increase morale. It also allows family members who enroll in the delayed Entry Program another avenue for citizenship. A source tells fox that category is likely to be exploited because people will join to get american citizenship and not show up for boot camp. On congresss first day back from the lame duck session, lawmakers sent two very different messages to the president. I think president obama has the duty to help build the trust
we all need to move forward together, not the double down on old ways of doing business. Thats why i think moving forward with the unilateral action on immigration hes planned would be a big mistake. I join with my colleagues in urging the president to take action. What the president needs to do is give immediate and significant relief to those families that are being wrenched apart and living in fear. Several other elements on this tenpoint plan are, there are plans to promote the new naturalization process by giving a 50 discount on the first 10,000 applicants who come forward. Tech jobs through a state department immigrant visa program would offer another half Million Immigrants a path to citizenship and increase Border Security. Democrats are urging the president to go big and bold. Republicans up here on capitol hill are warning this kind of executive action could blow up
this lame duck session. Bret . Very detailed. Mike emanuel live on the hill. More on this with the panel. Tonight republican opponents of obamacare have another opportunity to say i told you so. A third video has now surfaced of one of the plans architects insulting the americans who supported his work, comments he called a mistake and off the cuff this week. All this comes as a new republican majority in the next Years Congress prepares its efforts to repeal the controversial law. Correspondent doug mcelway has the story of yet another video causing obamacare supporters heart brurn. The incendiary remarks by professor Jonathan Gruber have gone viral with hundreds of thousands of views. He claims obamacare was intentionally written in a tortured way to hide the taxes that would have killed the bill. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. Call it the stupidity of the American Voter or whatever, but
basically that was really critical to getting to it pass. Gruber tried to walk back the remarks yesterday on msnbc. The comment in the video were made at an academic conference. I was speaking off the cuff and basically spoke inappropriately. I regret having made those comments. Reporter gruber has repeatedly argued attacks on insurance policies would be political suicide. You cant get through. Its politically impossible. Its hard to make political case for this. Reporter in other clips, gruber said it was then senator john kerry who proposed the idea of hiding taxes on insurance plans. Senator john kerry had a clever idea, he said lets call it instead attacks on Insurance Companies and not attacks on insurance plans. A clever basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American Voter. The American Voter is too stupid to understand reporter many say shear repetition mean he was not speaking off the up the. Nancy pelosi said first you have to pass it before you get
to find out whats in it. We knew it was written in a way that was deliberately written to deceive the American People and now people are paying the price. It was put together by a bunch of elitists who dont understand the American People. Reporter a recent poll supports deans point. They found 55 of americans believe the administration misrepresented the law to get it passed. In a 2012 pbs interview, gruber said president obamas support for the tortured wording was worthy of a profile in courage. They were all about times politicians didnt listen to the public and did what was right. This was a profile in courage. Reporter the Supreme Court will hear a challenge to obamacare next year that could invalidate federally operated exchanges in 30 states. As fox news reported in july, gruber may have unintentionally made a case for the plaintiffs. Whats important to remember politically about this, if youre a state and you dont set up an exchange, that means your citizens dont get their tax credits. But your citizens still pay the taxes that support this bill. Even if the plaintiffs lose that suit in the Supreme Court, the new republican majority indicated its intention to chip away at the law and the next congress and starve it of the funding that it is its lifeblood. Doug, thank you. What do you think . Do you think republicans will send an Obamacare Repeal to the president s desk. Let me know on facebook or twitter. You can use specialreport.

President obama is in burma tonight where in a few hours he will try to address yet another element of his Foreign Policy that has failed to live up to expectations. Before he left china, the president struck a deal over Climate Change. Chief White House Correspondent ed henry who is traveling with the president looks at what all sides are saying about the deal. Good, bad or essentially no deal at all. Reporter eager for a victory on the world stage barely one week after the Midterm Election drumming back home, president obama plunged into another executive action. This is a major milestone in the u. S. China relationship. Reporter this time cutting a deal with chinese president xi jinping on Climate Change that, like many aspects of the state
visit to beijing, may or may not end up being quite as good as it first appears. I was particularly distressed by the deal apparently hes reached with the chinese on his current trip. Reporter the president did get china, the Worlds Largest polluter to agree for the first time to caps on carbon emissions, though the deadline is basically in 2030, and its an open question whether the chinese will actually follow up. Meanwhile, the president promised the u. S. Will emit 20 to 26 less carbon than in 2005. Though that goal which has to be met nearly a decade after the president leaves office will hit a dose of reality from the incoming republican congress. The Presumptive SenateMajority Leader Mitch Mcconnell clearly declared this deal will expand what he calls the president s war on coal, the vastly different assessment of the climate deal is symbolic of the broader contradictions during this visit. The u. S. And chisting of dramatic new economic and
military cooperation, even as the chinese continue launching Cyber Attacks to steal trade secrets and just so happen to show off their new stealth fighters in a dramatic display of military muscle. Then there was a joint News Conference where xi lashed out at the protesters in hong kong as an Illegal Movement and tried to claim enormous progress on human rights inside china. In fact, the communist host tried to control every last second of this visit. Yet that changed at the News Conference when mr. Obama called on mark land her of the new york times. Xi never takes questions from western reporters. After being pressed on whether hell grant visas to journalist at that time times and elsewhere, there was a stir when an aide initially said the president will not respond. President xi will take a question from a member of the chinese press. He went on to say they have a right to express themselves and ensure journalist whose are
kicked out of the country have themselves to blame. Translator Media Outlets need to obey chinas laws and regulations. Reporter here in burma the president wants to highlight efforts to help move this government from a military dictatorship to early stages of democracy. His critics say the president lost leverage by moving too quickly to reward reforms. Ed henry traveling with the president in burma, thank you.

National security xnd Jennifer Griffin has it all from the pentagon tonight. Reporter the pentagon has already deployed nearly 2200 u. S. Troops to liberia to combat ebola. Major general gary velez ski, the top u. S. General in liberia say it is pentagon revised the number of troops the military thinks it will need from 4,000 to 3,000. Theres a lot of capacity here that we didnt know about before. And so that enabled us to reduce the forces that we thought we had to bring. Reporter over the weekend u. S. Troops completed work on a 100bed Treatment Center in northwestern liberia and opened a critical 25bed hospital in monrovia designed to treat Health Workers who may contract the virus. Some of the Treatment Centers were partially built in the United States before being sent to west africa. In all, the u. S. Military plans to build 17 Treatment Centers in the region. On capitol hill today the Administration Made the case for
its 6. 2 billion request to fund the ebola mission, more than the administration is requesting to train the iraqi military. Democrats are pushing to get it approved. So we have done this before when we have been faced with an emergency related to infectious disease. I would hope that we would follow the models that we have used in the past. Reporter republicans are concerned about where the money would come from. Given the size of the request, the slow progress in detailing plans for how the money will be spent and some of the missteps made so far, i think it deserves our careful oversight and scrutiny. Liberia says it hasnt seen a drop in new cases from a daily peak of more than 500 many september to around 50 a day right now. Health Officials Say cases are skyrocketing next door in western sierra leone, bret. It now seems the russians are testing the u. S. Again with these bombers. What can you tell us about that .

The marines set a standard for urban warfare. Reporter ten years later islamist militants are back in charge of fall luge yeah and

Reporter clay south was badly injured. He, himself, wants to go back in. People want to go back, but they want to make sure the job will get done this time and we wont have to go back. Reporter what did their Company Commander from ten years ago say . Let bit for a little bit. Just let it be. Reporter this captain once single handedly killed more than 20 insurgents. Make the decision not to do anything. Its not called being indecisive. Lets just let this one sit for a couple minutes. Reporter dave say it is current antiisis strategy is okay and notes what troops really think. We did our job, did what we were told to do. We werent necessarily fighting for anyone else besides ourselves and the guy next to us to the right and the left. Reporter he went on to say not once has he felt the invasion of fall luge yeah was a waste. That was pretty much echoed by everyone.

It appears the American Auto workers may rebound from what was supposed to be a resounding defeat earlier in tennessee. Correspondent jonathan seerry tells us about the Second Chance to get a piece of german engineering. Reporter volkswagens new policy opens the door to labor organizations at its nonunion chattanooga plant, although the guidelines dont allow collective bargaining, they do give unions a voice at the table. Volkswagen knows how it wants to do business. Reporter professor thomas smith of emory universitys Business School says the new policy potentially helps the United Auto Workers whose attempt to unionize the plant
was defeat bad vote of 712 to 626. I dont know if it brings them that much closer to unionizing that plant. I think it gives them a position in the south that they currently dont have. Vw will allow labor groups representing more than 15 of its chattanooga employees to hold meetings on company property, post announcements at the plant and meet with varying tiers of management according to size. A local none union Group Representing both blue and white collar workers say it too expects a seat at the table under vws new policy. I definitely think its a move to get more conversation, to get more dialogue back and forth. I do not see this at all as a move to ultimately recognize uaw as the sole voice of the employees. Reporter this afternoon the uaw release add statement saying we have questions about the policy that well work through in discussions with management. This is a step forward in
building stronger relationships between management and employees. While not responding directly, a vw official says we are putting this policy in place so a constructive dialogue a possible and available for everyone. With no provision for collective bargaining, it doesnt ring alarm bells but they offer organized labor a new role modeled more from the Works Councils of germany than the union shops of detroit.

I asked my staff early in the morning to contact the

Troops died in iraq and afghanistan, 6,703. Troops wounded in 5,168. He focused on that speech and how much focus he gives those exact numbers. Unfortunately i think that last number was off by 47,000. It should have been 52,168. Finally one campaign loser had a strong backup plan and donors are not happy about it. Singer clay aiken lost by 18 points in his bid to become a North Carolina congressman, but the democrat bounced back quickly with the announcement of a Tv Reality Show focusing on

Reporter the European Space agency erupted with excitement as the lander touched down on a comet 300 million miles away. Some described the moment as monumental as landing on the moon. And philae is talking to us. We are on the comet. Reporter this historic accomplishment was not without unexpected drama. Philae lander sent back this image at the rosetta mother ship followed by rosettas picture of philae with landing gear deployed. Then the thruster to keep it from ricocheting off into space failed to work. Upon landing, philaes harpoons intended to hook the lander and comet together failed to deploy. Migs managers says the lander appears to have bounced once before touching down a second time and finally screwing itself into the icy rock. Comets are believed to be the Building Blocks of the universe and posly the source of our water on planet earth. Across europe today, great pride. It looks very easy but it isnt easy. Its in my point of view a miracle. Nasa sent europe its congratulations on the day the orion spacecraft rolled out. Its first major mission, putting our astronauts onto a comet sometime in the 2020s. Bret . Phil, thank you. We now know some of what the president may do on immigration, new donts obtained by foxx news. Well talk about them with the panel when we come back. I thought itd be bigger. dad theres nothing i cant reach in my subaru. vo introducing the allnew subaru outback. Love. Its what makes a subaru,a subaru. Im going to dont what i can do through executive action. Its not going to be everything that needs to get done. And it will take time to put that in place. And in the interim, the minute they pass a bill that addresses the problems with Immigration Reform, i will sign it. I think president obama has the duty to help build the trust we all need to move forward
together, not to double down on old ways of doing business. Thats why i think moving forward with the unilateral action on immigration hes planned would be a big mistake. Sources tell fox news that that executive action could come as soon as next week. We have obtained documents from a Government Agency with very detailed proposals for that executive order. They include in this draft proposal up to 4. 5 Illegal Immigrants living with american born children would be allowed to stay in the u. S. , expansion of deferred action. Also expand deferred action for children known as daca who came with their parents. A tenpoint plan for a pay raise for i. C. E. Officers to increase morale. It talks about 500,000 Technology Job offered through the visa program and increase Border Security generally is a bullet point in these draft
documents. Very detailed documents, though. Lets bring in our panel, jason riley, Editorial Board member of the washington street journal. Juan williams with the hill and indicated columnist the president has threatened hell move forward. The administration has talked about it. Congress has said dont do it. It seems like it is moving. Its hard to see how the results last week were some sort of mandate for the president to act unilaterally on immigration. Who can interpret it, last weeks results that way . If anything, it was the opposite. The public was sending a republican senate. They want the two to o work together. It looks like hell ram this through. Lit set the tone for the next two years, and it will be a bad tone where i think it will hamper his ability to get things done on other issues he wants such as trade and so forth and maybe even some Corporate Tax reform. I think it hurts all those
efforts. What youll see immediately, republicans passing legislation to block this effort. Im sure senator sessions and senator grassley will be moving legislation to try to stop it. I dont think this is the way to go or the tone to set for the new congress. Juan, what about that . The tone. In this lame duck the White House Administration would like to see a lot of things happen including nominations of ambassadors and things taken care of. If this goes forward as soon as next week, it will be like a nuclear bomb on capitol hill. I dont know if thats fair to say. I think it will, as jason said, create a rank rouse tone and i think the base of the Republican Party which has long opposed Immigration Reform going back to president bushs efforts in 06 will raise their voices and there will be a lot of squealing about it. The fact is the president has waited since the Immigration Reform package passed the senate back in 13 for the house to
take some action. Remember the house said they would do it piecemeal, would do it gratd gradually. Isnt this goading them to taking them on in the budgetary way, in the efforts gore green cards and other things . No. I think they can try to do that, but they do it at a great Political Risk in terms of the future of the Republican Party and hispanic vote. The second thing to say is, remember, its not as if weve had smooth sailing between the parties here in washington from the white house perspective, the Republican Party has sought to obstruct and stop them at every turn, and from the perspective of the hispanic, the Latino Community in this country, the president has been the deporterinchief. Charles 1234. The reason obama has waited is because, according to his own words which he has said repeatedly for six years, he is not allowed under the constitution to do what hes now proposing to do. He has said this over and over
again. Hes said id like to do all these things, but under the constitution, i do not write the laws. If any of this is true, this is a wholesale canceling of a law passed by congress. If it is to be canceled, if it is to be reformed, it has to be done. This is a constitutionally owed yous proposal. He knows it and he admitted it himself. As a matter of policy, i think its a terrible idea. Im not against legalization, but i am against legalization before youve done anything serious about controlling the border. Otherwise this is an advertisement to the whole world, particularly latin america where its easy to get across the border, that you come into america illegally. Its up to you, we do not control our borders. If you wait long enough and you make Strong Enough case and theres enough pressure, we will legalize you. I dont know what law youre canceling. The immigration laws. This is something used by president s i think 11 times
in the last six years, president s have executive authority to limit and make choices about who gets deported. At this scope, juan . This is a different scope. This is really stretching it to the point where its basically overturning the law. The problem on policy grounds is that its bad policy. This is 1986 all over again. You simply legalize the population already here. But you dont fix the legal system. So 20 years from now because there are no expanded ways for people to come here legally, were going to end up with a bunch of Illegal Immigrants. The president says, okay, im going to do this because theyre not acting on capitol hill. Once you act, it will erase the executive order. Thats a threat. Thats a threat that he said. He said if the house takes up the senate bill that passed last year this year, if they take it up and pass it, then i wont do that. Thats a threat. What he does know is that the Republican Leadership in both the house and the senate has every incentive to cooperate on this going into the 2016
elections. He knows republicans want to get this behind him. He knows he wants to do something more permanent and durable, not simply temporary measures that kick the ball down the road. Bret baier just said, you dont even have to act the senate package. If you pass something, get something going, that would do exactly what youre doing. That what the president said. I referenced the president. I didnt mean to hurt your reputation with the right wing. He wants this issue politically to slam republicans. Wait a minute. Thats the only reason. Didnt he wait . Hasnt he waited . Hes waited because its illegal. If there were a republican who is in the white house and says i waited and waited, i demanded abolition of the Capital Gains tax and the congress wouldnt do it, so im ordering the irs no collection of Capital Gains, if Congress Wants to pass a law to override that, i invite that. You would be up here as everybody would and say this is unconstitutional, it is an impeachable offense. Thats what hes doing. He himself has admitted that year after year up till now, two years left, all the elections behind him. He doesnt care. Let me bring this up. Gallup poll just came up with the republicans leading. Gallup, 42 republican, 36 democrat. If this moves forward, does this prevent anything from getting done in the short term . I think it does. I think it poisons the well. Thats the term thats been used. Theres a trust factor here. I dont see the republicans having any incentive to work with the president on anything else if hes going to do an end run around on this big issue. All the talk about finding common ground, that goes out the window, doesnt it . No. I think republicans still have interest. They want to get a lot of stuff off the table before we get to january and they take control of the senate. Republicans shouldnt al louf it to control their agenda. They should say they will abolish if they take the whougs 2017. The congress should defund it. But not allow it to run away with their agenda and no impeachment. Next up, an obamacare architect calling you and your fellow americans stupid, at least twice. Test test test. Test test test. Test test test. Test test. Test test test. Test test test. Of paragraph Health Insurance, you are going to tax my Health Insurance . And you just cant get through. Its politically impossible. To basically its the same thing. We just tax the Insurance Companies. They pass on higher prices that offsets the tax we get and ends up being the same
thing. Its a very clever, basically exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American Voter. Okay. And basically the cadillac tax is put in and basically thats going to help control healthcare cost and end subsidy to the most expensive Health Insurance plans and over time apply to more and more Health Insurance plans. That was third piece of tape. Third clip from mit economics professor Jonathan Gruber talking about obamacare. He said this week that he was sorry for those remarks the first ones on tape. He said they were off the cuff he regretted making those comments so there is a a pattern here. Cadillac tax. Cost 23,000 a year will have a tax on it. Now, you and i know the economists know passed on the price of insurance. Offset the tax break you get. Have the same effect and economists will like it. Lack of transparency a
huge political advantage. Basically call the stupidity of the American Voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass. Well, you have chillicothe weighing capitol hill weighing in and dean weighing in. I appreciate his honesty. The president s signature piece of legislation is based on deceit and lies. And i thank him for his honesty. A lot of us on the political right now a this all along. But its nice to hear it coming from gruber and company. Fox poll about obamacare, first about whether its good for the country, bad for the country. Split 52 bad for the country. Good for the country 40 . And did the Obama Administration misrepresent effects of healthcare law to get it passed. 55 of registered voters said yes. This seems like a bit of an herb ahead of a round of obamacare. A big issue here is it creates anxiety, uncertainty about the law. I think puts a bad varnish on it as jason said its a gift to the critic tigs of obama care. Its all sausage making. This is very unpleasant. The fact is everything gets marketed from soap to, you know, ball games. We all market there is a lot of spin in washington when it comes to legislation. People can look back at how much, you know, is it the case that the iraqi oil reserves are going to pay for the cost of war or look back to the Prescription Drug i think it is spin. I will say this, i cant believe that he has talked about the stupidity of the American Voter. I think thats inexclusive thats rude. Thats whats very representative of the lefts mind set. Their moral superiority. Not only morally superior and more intelligent. They need to explain things to us yocals out there in flyover country. We cant think for ourselves and choose our healthcare for ourselves and cant choose our doctors for ourselves. We need elites telling us how to too these things. Thats a different point to be made. I think its a different point to be made which is some people actually think its lowered the number of people that dont have who lack insurance in this country which is. Overall . We should point out that we first reported on professor grew enter in the context of the howbig case loss in federal court. Now heading to the u. S. Supreme court in which, charles, he said its important to remember if you are a a state and dont set up an exchange that means your citizens dont get tax credits and thats how this was set up. But your citizens still pay taxes to support the bill. Well, thats how this whole lawsuit has hinged is that it was set up that way. That is exactly the case of the plaintiffs.
