And sergioarcia arrived illegally and thengraduated from law school and passed the California Bar exam. And he now believes that other states wi follow the californialeagu. I know florida is facing the same issue. And i really think that they were leading us to act. The ruling in his favor came just aday after a New California law went into effect allowing qualified applicants and to the state bar and new laws allowing Illegal Immigrants to obtain their drivers licenses in those states. Many critics say that it gives them an illegal chance to drive but somesay its less of an immigration issue and more of a safe issue. This will help in that respect.

Another foul up with the obamacare website. E ateamn c cpcpc÷noxmhmhy hewon the u. S. Military just evacuated with a deteriorating security situation. Rebel groups reportedly moving south toward the capital, setting up any possible confrontation with government forces. The secretary of state, john kerry, engaging in a second session of diplomacy,ancing middle east peace talks. Including Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. This includes john mccain and john grasso who were also there. Including skepticism about the largely secret deals in the peace agreement. Support a legitimate peace we are also very concerned about some aspects are presented to us about the agreement as to whether or not they are truly enforceae where does not put the state of israel in jeopardy. Lou blasting the palestinian counterpart, accusing him have embracing them as heroes. And violence surging over the past year and launched a sries of attacks and joining us now is a political analyst former clinton adviser doug schon. Pulitzer prize winner and Fox News Contributor michael goodwin. And i have to say that as i am watching senator mccain, thinking of senator graham being there to help along secrery john kerrys position is somewhat ambiguous. It doesnt get much more more difficult to take than that. First he is burdened that is not clear in terms of allowing enrichment. In this includes that sanctions and the Peace Process that is very murky or israel has been attacked now for more settlements and so you wonder what is going on. And that is that you have i mean ome around the globe there is a growing disorder and john kerry seems to be stuck in a sideshow. And with no sense, it doesnt matter. And they are not the main issue here. Lou by the way, i am astonished at him. And he is a man who i thought would not associate himself with is a freewheeling ndividual, with a part of graham and mccain. I know him to be a judicious and careful man. He has stood up against Vladimir Putin and extremism. So i would not be as harsh tords him. In light of the current administration. Lou i am not being harsh, i just have to say that my interest is piqued by the fact that i have no idea what he is doing there and why he always has his little buddy, Lindsey Graham with him. And now senator barrasso. I dont mean be harsh, but im just curious. There is the sense that this is the case. Lou if you are john kerry, do you get to show another altogether in proximity with this observation . [laughter] john kerry considered him as his running mate. And we worked away through that. And the Washington Post giving a straightforwd lie by the administration. Muster the courage and gave them to pinocchios per line. Doubling down, it is working. And i dont know whythey ae trying to fix the legislation were replaced it. Replacing it with something that might work. Lou and the republicans look to be extraordinary fools to even think about repealing in dealing with obamacare. Because this is a monstrous situation and in new york, if you just set in your column from a new mayor that will workfor the far left. I think so. I think that with obamacare it is such a burden. And i suspect it is a burden for the Washington Post that they ran out of tokyo marketings since they only gave them two. The one the were over quota. [laughter] and i think that obama is doingthe republicans a favor by not opening up the legislation. Because i think that they would then have developed for mething at the end of the day and his stubbornness and refusal to consider changes is hurting him more than it hurting the republans at this point. Do tnk that this dismisses and denies the Democratic Party to say that this is a disaster . Atoz in tota it hurts hillary. She will be chacterized as the mother of obamacare because of the hillary care from e 1992 and 1994 timeframe. And she would like nothing more to this issue than to be resolved. This would be the third democratic term in a row. She ow has additional burdens of benghazi and obamacare and who knows what else in so they cannot help. Lou and they are on some kind of hallucinogenic additive to the way in which they have this. Lou thank you so much. Its good to have you with us.

Lou outgoing Federal Reserve chairman ben bernanke defended e fed Stimulus Program in his Farewell Speech and predicted today economic headwinds that have held back the economy are diminishing. The combination of financial healing, a greater balance in the housing market, less fiscal restraint and, of course, continued Monetary Policy commendation those well for the u. S. Economic growth in coming quarters. Of course at the expense of the last few years teaches us anything new is that we should be cautious. Lou here with his outlook, chief economist, ubs investment research. Good to have you here. We are bidding adieu to have been bernanke. He does not seem like a fellow that has warned the weight of the Federal Reserve well. Well, he had one of the toughest jobs in the country. Lets face it, that anyone could have had trouble facing a been dealing with the problems he had to deal with the last couple of years. So if he looks worn, he is. Lou his view of things, very ambiguous. The language very how about a concrete outlook, will happen this year. Gi us your outlook on this market and this economy for this year. Said think were probably going to have the best year we have had in this economic recovery. They should be the first year when we have 3 percent gdp growth. The empire rate continues to come down. We have it at six and a half by the end of the year. And it will be an okay year from the stockmarket. Last year was a tough act to follow. For a lot of folks if youould just hold on the what he made last year into a little bit better to be perfectly satisfied we had a target at 1950. Lou thats a very good year. And the idea that you can do a little bit better this year, that is reassuring. What aut the prospect of a correction of insignificance and im talking about not 45 . 10 percent correction. This things are so hard. Just to say, i dont see the type of global problems that could catch us by surprise and give us that kind of sharp correction. If in fact that happens it would probly be a very good buying a virginity because i agree. A lot of these things would have been had wins the last couple of years. Tax increases. Getting out of the housing slump these things are not here to bother us anymore. Lou good to see you. Happy new year. Up next, subzero temperatures, a foot of snow blanketing parts of the coury. The planet is supposed to be getting warmer. House of how confused are you . Lets find out what is really happening with our clima and what is inrospect. To explain it all we will be joined by one of the countrys top climatologists here next. Lou a lawless state. Californ admits an illegal immigrant attorney to the state bar. How does that square up . Twof our favorite attorneys explain california and aot to us. [ me announcer ] this is the story of the little room over the pizza place on Chestnut Street the modest first floor bedroom tallinn, estonia and the southbound bus barreli down i95. This magic moment it is the story of where every great idea begins. And of those who believed they had thpower to do more. Dell is honored to be part of some of the worlds great stories. That began much the same way ours did in a little dorm room 2713. This magic moment this magic moment so ally bank really has no hthats right, no hidd fees. Nts .

The California Supreme Court deciding to grant a allowed elections to joining us now, former federal prosecutor and criminal defense attorney doug burns, thank you for being here. Help me out. How does an illegal immigrant working in the state bar of california . I would love to help you out, but i melos as to why atate judge in california that he alified, living here illegally for 20 years. You can go ahead and take other peoples lives and money and have it in your han when i became a lawyer you dont just pass a bar and anguishing bill. Yet after those two sentences interview process to show the you are of good, moral turpitude how could he be when youre living here on omaha legally fertility years. Everybody can be a lawyer. A reflection of what the courts think . Have but you know what, all joking aside, federal law really should not preempts state law. It is called preemption. The fault the point is he is in the country illegally. Admittedly there is some litigation. His petition to get status got back debt. His father was here illegally. The point is, one of the court tenants of being a lawyer is not only impropriety, but the appearance of impropriety. How could you argue that this does not appear to be impropriety. And we should point out that even the elements as apartments argued against this man being given an average into the to pracce law and the state of california, and they said the heck with it. There is law barring people the states point blank people here illegally cannot accept government licenses. Let me just explain there is an exception in theiright draw some ire, passes a law that contravenes that and provides. Lou look. Attorneys have welldeserved reputation. The idea that the federal government would pass along the then permits t state actually take precedence over federal law is mindless and absurd. If you could open all of california up to take any Illegal Immigrants legally. But theroblem, as you said, that is not an exception. If the state says it is okay, its fine to six years or unthinking.
