Quote, president obama contended that although legislation congresss failure to pass legend shin acceptable to him in this regard, adding, quote, congresss law making power is not subject to president ial supervision of control, perceived or actual congressional inaction does not endow legislative power where the executive. Judge schwab went on to hold that the president s actions crossed the line, amounted to election and changed immigration policy. The decision comes with a case of a man who entered the country four years ago, he entered the country illegally but wasnt caught until he was prior to sentencing, the judge asked the party to provide their legal opinions on how the president S Immigration announcements could possibly impact the judges sentencing ruling. A Justice Department spokesperson says, quote, the decision is unfounded and the court had no basis to issue such an order. No party in the case challenged the constitutionality of the immigration executive action and the departments filing made it clear that the executive actions did not apply to the criminal matter before the court. Schwab added that although president s do enjoy prosecutorial discretion on a casebycase basis, president obamas sweeping pronouncement involving entire classes of persons in the u. S. Illegally went in schwabs opinion far beyond what is legally permissible. Bret . Were following it, shannon, thank you.

Reporter outgoing tsa administrator says that the group is evening experimented with surgically implanted devices.

Reporter the Intelligence Community received new information that a french bombmaker thought to have been killed in syria may have survived u. S. Strikes last month. There is concern that there are still individuals out there who have not only the ability to do that but the intent of using that on a flight to the u. S.

Pistol was in australia days before the hostage situation unfolded unfolded unfolded in sydney without warning. There was no talk about that.

Many members of his own party are blaming texas republican senator ted cruz for letting democrats consider more of president obamas judicial nominees by forcing a weekend vote on obamas executive action on immigration. The senator now joins me to answer his critics. What about the reid announced a week ago, he intended to force through every one of these extreme bad nominees, the only difference was because we forced a vote on amnesty this weekend, he had the votes one day earlier. But he would have forced the exact same votes today, monday and tuesday that he did on saturday. And the result would have been the same. And example, some folks have focused on the surgeon general. The surgeon again is an unqualified extreme nominee. He was the first nominee harry reid had to vote on on monday. If he hadnt had a session on saturday, he still would have been the first vote on monday. We shouldnt be confirming these nominees, but were doing it because reids abused his power. You apologized this weekend, right . Lets be clear what i apologized for. I apologized for their personal weekend plans being disrupted. A number of senators had to come back and i apologized for that personal hardship. But what we did this weekend was important. I believe it was important to vote on executive amnesty. Amnesty is unfair. Millions of americans spoke up in the last election, throughout the majority leader and minority leader in congress. Were facing a congressional crisis. And i think it was critical. This saturday after the fight we had. We had the very first vote on president obamas unconstitutional amnesty. Thats what i was pressing for, thats what others were pressing for. And i think it marrittered to hr our commitment to the voters. You describe it as knifing the now senate mean north leami leader as he now becomes majority leader. Lets be clear, for a week, i was very clear with mitch mcconnell, with harry reid that i wanted a vote on the constitutionality of executive amnesty. We deserve an up or down vote, thats something senators do each and every day. You look at this omnibus that just passed congress. Its 1. 1 trillion of every payoff for special interests, for lobby estes, for k street. All of them got taken care of. It was the perfect example of washington corruption. But the people who were not taken care of is the working men and women, the millions of conservative grass roots activists who showed up and gave the republicans the minority. And it was important to have a straight upordown vote on executive amnesty. Ill tell you one of the real benefits. As a result of this vote on saturday, every single democrat is now on record the president s unconstitutional amnesty. A dozen of them had criticized it when it happened and now every one of them have gone on record and it matters. Jeb bush has hes going to have to make a decision in the next few months, if he wants to run for president or not. And if he does, i think were going to have a robust discussion over the next year, year and a half about who the republican nominee should be and i theys a good thing. You worked for his brothers campaign, you worked in his administration, so how does the thought of another bush presidency strike you . Lets see number one if hes running and lets see who the other republican candidates are. I trust the grass roots to make the best determination, i will tell you what i think we should be looking for, we should be looking for whoever is standing up and leading, we should be standing up for whoever is fighting today. Whoever is making the case that the obama economy is a disaster, that we have got to restore americas leadership in the world. My advice, by my measure, there are a whole bunch of republican senators who are thinking about running in 2016. My advice to every one of them is stand up and lead. I would be thrilled if a year from now, we see a half dozen senators and governors arm in arm, leading together and making the case that the obama agenda isnt working and there is a better path getting back to the free market principles and constitutional liberties that this country was built on. It is clear, democrats hate you, and an increasing number of republicans hate the way you operate in the senate, to say the least. Given that reality, where do you see the path to the presidency . Let me be very clear, washington doesnt like change. So i wouldnt necessarily disagree with you when you speak about people in washington, listen, i have said a lot of times, the biggest divide we have got, in this country politically, is not between democrats and republicans, it is between career politicians in washington, in both parties and the American People, so, yes, it is not a surprise that washington fights hard against anyone trying to change the culture in washington. But i can tell you, outside of washington, people are frustrated, theyre frustrated with the corruption, theyre frustrated with politician who is say one thing and do another. Senator, when you hear george will and Charles Krauthammer and others say that you dont understand that politics up here on the hill is a team sport. And now with the gop getting a majority, you dont get it. How do you respond . Listen, i like and respect both george and charles. I think theyre smart, insightful observers. On some level, ill agree with what they said. I am not trying to play the rules of washington. Because i think washingtons broken, i think its profoundly broken. And i think the only answer is to change washington. Let me give you a tech example. In the tech world, you have disruptive apps that come in and disrupt the means of distributing a good or service. Lets take for example, uber coming in or lift coming into a city. Whatever that happens, the existing providers fight like cats and dogs. The taxi commissions have done everything they can to kill uber and lift. What were trying to do in the political world is very much the sairm thing, which is change the means of Decision Making, take it out of the smoke filled rooms, where Decision Making is done in washington between career politicians and lobbyists and instead empower the people. In my view, the only way we can turn this country around is if the American People rise up p and hold every one of us accountable. So im not trying to play the washington rules, im trying to change the rules and make elected officials blooirs included accountable to the people who elected them. Whether you make your decision, whether you run or not . I think the field will form in all likelihood sometime between january and june of next year. Its already forming. I think well see it form in the next few months, in all likely hood there will be a number of good candidates and well have a discussion about what candidate is the most likely to stand up and fight. We have got to win, it is now or never and our country is in crisis. Thanks for the time. Two days of terror, a look at the pakistan terror attack, the sydney siege as well as other political issues. Were back with the allstar panel. Stay tuned. And saving so much money on their Car Insurance by switching to geico. Well, just look at this setting. Do you have the ring . Oh, helzberg diamonds. Another beautiful setting. Im not crying. Ive just got a bit of sand in my eyes, thats all. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance. I do think that this scenario and this terrible event that occurred in pakistan sort of highlights the violent sen ten did of some of these extremist groups, which in turn junked scores the need to do all we can to strengthen and support Afghan Security forces as they try to protect their country and their citizens. The perpetrators must be brought to justice, and we pledge our full support to the people of pakistan in this difficult hour, we will help them in any way that we possibly can. Talking about pakistans storming of a school and 141 people were killed most of them children. One of two attacks that caught the worlds attention over the past couple of days. Steve hays, senior write for the weekly standard. Mara lars and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer. In some ways what we have seen over the past couple of days is one of two ways of committing terrorist attacks, yesterday the lone wolf attacks that we had predicted would be coming would be the new face of terrorism now for several years and then today we saw a mass casualty attack, conducted by a strong terrorist Group Despite the fact that its had leadership problems, management issues, Internet Team fighting was able to carry off in kind of a has casualty attacks. How many times do we sit here and say these kinds of attacks are wakeup calls, but they are wairkup calls. That was the case until you had fazad try to bomb times square in 2005. What about the people who say that this attack shows a growing concern about the afghan policy and what were doing with troops on the ground . This happened in pakistan, but the worry is it could have happened in afghanistan. And if it happened in afghanistan, it would have been a much more kwirnd ind of on ou plate. Were supposed to be training the Afghan Forces so they can prevent this sort of thing. I think we kind of dodged a bullet here, because it happened in pakistan, a place where the United States doesnt have troops. Charles . Look, i think were making a mistake about whats important and whats not here. Afghanistan is infinititely les important than pakistan. The reason were in afghanistan is it gives us leverage in the region. Bin laden came out of afghanistan, it gave us a base, a place in which we could project power. But the prize, of course, is pakistan, its a Nuclear Power and if radical islam ever got its hands on that, the world would change overnight. It would change if iran gets it, because its another variety of radical islam. Thats why the pakistani i would not lay it at the Obama Administration. This after all is a revenge act that the taliban, pakistani is launching against pakistani government which has actually stood up against them and is conducting a pretty Serious Campaign in north waziristan, so this is an attempt to react on the part of the pakistanis. But i would draw a distinction between this and what happened in australia. Australia was a marginalized, unstable guy acting on his own who was given a script. But i dont see it as an act of islamic terror, he didnt even know exactly what he was doing. What were talking about here in pakistan is a deliberate act and to hear josh ernest refer to the violent stendencies of these extremist groups r u you not able to say, islamic radicalism, the barbarism of islamic radicalism, which essentially will give it a connection with isis and other groups. This really matched a discussion of extremism really does in the help the cause. An attempt by the australian looking back at the vice chairman saxby chambliss, who he told me in his exit interview, what keeps him um at night is the lone wolf isis terrorists here in the u. S. Its interesting and you contrast that with what john pistol told Catherine Harris in the piece you just played, he said what keeps him up at night is these mass coordinated attacks. I think theyre both right. But its so hard to detect his jihadist lone wolves, whether theyre islamic radicals, its hard to detect whether theyre acting on their own or coordinating with one or two people. On the other hand their capacity for conducting major attacks is necessarily limited if theyre lone wolves. On the other hand youve got these radical groups that are still trying to hit the United States. They spend much of their time concentrating on how they can hit the United States, and cause mass casualties. They are i think the more formidable threat, they are alied with governments that sponsor and support them. I want to talk about russia, were talking about a development, as oil continuings to plummet and the sanctions now stiff, russia has a problem. Russia is on a brink of a cia sis, what can they do when you get into this kind of a currency crisis, theres not much you can do, you can make hyper inflation and that will cause all sorts of other problems. Whats interesting lyre is that the president is going to sign a bill that allows the sanctions to get even tighter and if he chooses to send military aid to the kruk crane. We set out to hurt russia for what it did in ukraine and its fighting. Its work despite the all kinds of loopholes and the reason he signed that is because of the loopholes that allows him not to send the weapons to you can ukraine. I understand that they crude is plummeting, on oil, his administration has restrained the production of oil in the United States. And p its american production on state and private lands that has riled the markets and caused the collapse of the price of oil. It was nothing to do with the Obama Administration, it was in spite of the regulation. Up next, former Florida Governor jeb bush and his intention to run. Well be right back.

We have a lot of problems that could be solved if we fix a few big things and immigration is one of them. So, long story short, if i was to run, i would try persuade people. Im not going to change what i believe and my beliefs, i think, are good, solid, mainstream conservative thought. Jeb bush announcing today that he is officially exploring a run for president. But that does do a cup bell of big things in there race. Take a look at the new fox news poll out tonight. Its obviously earlfully all these early polls, you know, they are what they are, but here it is. Mitt romney atop and there you see bush at 10 and the rest of the field you can keep strolling through, christie, huckabee, paul and walker, carson, ryan, crudz, rubio. Keep going. One more page. There you go. Were back with the panel. Marah, a big deal. Single biggest decision so far of the republican field. And even though you see everybody kind of bunched up there, and just double digits or high single digits, there is a first among equals and his name is jeb bush. He will solidify republican establishment him behind him. He has an instant network. Raise a huge wrench into marco rubios plans because he has the same network from florida. Jeb bush has pretty much said how he would run which is lose the primary, win the general election strategy. Is he not going to backtrack on his support for immigration reform, which includes legalization or a path to citizenship. He is sticking with common core. I think its pretty interesting. I think what he is figuring is that the rest of the candidates are going to split the antiestablishment vote. Politic the tea party vote and the republicans will do what they always do which is nominate the establishment guy. But, boy, steve, you look at the conservative push back today on social media, talk radio, obviously knew it was coming, but it was pretty loud. It was loud. I think thats one of the reasons why jeb bush made the announcement at the time that he made it going into the holidays. He will get this ferocious push back at a time when a lot of people arent paying as close attention to politic as they might otherwise be paying. Let me disagree with mara. I dont think this is that big of a deal. Big deal in the fact that it gives us a sense that jeb bush is no longer musing about the possibility of running. He is he taking an active step that allows him to make different kind of phone call to perspective donors than he would have made a week ago. If money determined everything in the republican primaries. I think we would have had a very different series of events in the 2012 republican primaries. Remember, had you different candidates. Virtually everybody in the entire field at one point or another led. I mean, i dont remember the exact dollar amount. Because we were in the antimitt romney anybody but mitt romney. We were in the antimitt romney. If any of those other candidates had proven to be a viable candidate h proven to have any kind of staying power, its entirely conceivable that they would have won. Its no longer a given that the candidate with the most money is the candidate that automatically wins. He has name recognition, which is both good and bad. But i think that his primary advantage is that he would be the establishment choice. Yeah. I think the grass roots conservatives will have a lot to say about this before this is over. Right. But also how does it effect the other people who are maybe in his sphere, which is the mitt romney, the Chris Christies, others who might fit that that ideological bin, if you will. No. I think it is a big deal. Because those who would be on his wing of the spectrum have a to think whether they are going to go up against jeb bush and how good of a chance they will have. Clear out some of his wing. As for the others, there are other people who would otherwise be on the fringe. Look like a free for all. Look like the most open seat in the history of the presidency. So why not throw in your hat. And i think it will, because it creates an instant frontrunner for good or for ill, it will discourage some of the fringe candidates. I think it will make your job on the first debate a little easier because it wont be a four score and seven candidates. You put this up before, the full screen of all the potential. Some of those potentials are going to think bush is in the race. Who is not going to run because jeb bush is running, maybe mitt romney. I dont think this effects rubios decision one way or another. He was going to run. Regardless of what jeb bush does. Doesnt affect christie or scott walker. I have a hard time to see who this really scares away particularly at this. Maybe i dont know if it runs them away. Jeb bush sucks up the oxygen in the room. How can there be enough money to support and establishment to support for all of those governors . I just dont think there is going to be that i think the establishment wants to rally around somebody. They sees a Hillary Clinton as completely beatable. They really want to win. I think you will see a coalescing around bush over time. There will be a rise of some conservative candidate. Sure. More than one. Maybe more than one. Quickly, i want to give you time. You saw the senator cruz interview. Obviously i referenced your panel remarks and his explanation of what happened on the hill. Just some thoughts. My critique of cruze is not that he isnt a team player. There is no virtue in being a team player and i admire people who act on their own. I admire his courage in many ways. On the other hand, i do think that what he has done, standing up on principle or making these statements has hurt the cause. He can make a lot of statements. Can you stand up. But if you do things as he did in october of last year, and as he did now, in which he enabled the democrats today, the democrats approved, i think, 21 judicial nominees. You gave harry reid time to do all this. If you are practical effects are negative, dont do it. Make your statement somewhere else. Sounds like is he running though. Thats it for the panel.
