Despite the fact the masterminds of the terrorist attack in paris were fromiemen. You got to be out of your mind. What is going on in the white house . This could be the craziest thing the president of the United States did. Reporter White House Press secretary josh earnest noted one detainee sent to estonia, four to oman. That borders yemen.

One of the terrorists used a trip to oman to sneak into yemen for training in july 2011. The senators declaring if that report is accurate we sent four guantanamo detainees with potential ties to al qaeda to oman, the same country that served as jumpoff point for said kouachi to travel to yemen for terrorist training.

A clear majority wants to keep gitmo open over the president s wishes, and when asked about transferring detainees, 54 say yes, 37 say no. Earnest said 30 of detainees return to the battlefield saying the number is far lower. Isnt that a problem. 6 of the detainees wind up in terrorism could kill people in paris or washington . It is certainly why this administration continues to pursue a very aggressive counterterrorism strategy. At the same time, ed it would also be unwise to neglect the fact that our, the prison at Guantanamo Bay continues to inspire violent acts around the globe.

Increase contact and economic ties will empower the cuban people. The administration views we should normalize our relationship with cuba. The effect would be by that increased contact with the cuban people and with the cuban government would only serve to put more pressure on the castro regime to abide by, protect and advance the basic human rights we hold dear in this country. Reporter critics of the new cuba policy say increased travel and trade is an Economic Life line for a castro regime that made mow concessions to democracy. Its this naive notion that somehow if you extend your hand to the brutal dictator that would somehow change them and theyll no longer be a brutal dictator. Reporter the changes days after cuba released 53 Political Prisoners that the u. S. Wanted free, while the Overall Economic embargo remains in place, it will be easier for certain u. S.

There are limits to free speech throughout europe and the pope hails from argentina where free speech is limited as well. The pope made his comments flying from sri lanka to the philippines. Earlier this week, the pope said it was, quote deviant forms of religion that led to the paris atrocities. Mitt romney set to speak friday at the Republican National Committee Meetings in san diego, it will be the governors first public statements since he let it be known hes strongly considering a third run for president. Also in california, jeb bush, the governor attending a series of fundraisers, some hosted by former mitt romney donors. And Hillary Clinton hiring campaign veterans from the 2008 obama president ial campaign. Joining us now to talk about the 2016 president ial race former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee who recently announced his departure from fox news as the host of his popular show huckabee to think about a race for the white house. Mike is also the author of the soontobe released book god, guns, grits and gravy. All good stuff. Great to have you with us. Thank you lou great to be back. Lou youve had a week or so to think about it whats the answer, are you going to run . Well, lets put it this way, lou, i didnt leave fox because i wasnt enjoying it. It was the most remarkable 6 1 2 years of my life. Not ready to make an announcement. Dont plan to until later in the spring. My timetable hasnt changed. But clearly its something im very open to pursuing and taking all the steps to make that decision. Lou takes a lot of money are you worried about the amount of money you have to raise . If you decide to do it. I think every candidate had better be worried about the amount of money that it takes. Thats one of the things that will be a major factor in the ultimate decision. Im encouraged by what people are telling me what kind of commitments are being made but im a long way from having enough money pledged to say that i can beat everybody else. It is the toughest part of it and unfortunate that it has become so much a money game rather than an idea and an innovation game, and a Good Government game. Thats what people ought to elect the president for, not because hes a great fundraiser, but because he could be a good leader. Lou lets turn to the last republican president ial nominee, and that, of course mitt romney. The governor is making it clear, hes thinking hard about it. What will be his impact if he decides to enter the race . Well, he comes into it with a formidable organization. Obviously, the name recognition. Great ground game support. A lot of people with him for a long time so hes a credible candidate. But mitts in a wonderful position talking about money he can write himself a check and get whole thing jump started. You have to take it seriously. I think it was a surprise to a lot of people when he indicated he was going to be running, because he had been so very clear all through the months prior, he was absolutely not going to do it. Lou let me ask you, turn to a few other issues if i may, at the gop hershey retreat. Jeff denham the congressman from california saying the democrats have a secret comprehensive immigration plan. What happened to congressman goodlattes four step plan . What is going on with the republicans . Sounds like a republican version of the president s amnesty plan. You know, sometimes i scratch my head and i wonder do the republicans get it were not elected to go and give obama a great big bear hug. They were elected to change the policies and congressman goodlattes plan is to take it a piece at a time. Ive come to the conclusion that the immigration issue needs to be looked at from a broader perspective. Not how many people can come in and when they can come in. The bigger question is why are they coming . I think we need to know are you coming to make america a better country . Are you coming because you want to join with us in making this the greatest country on earth . Then we can welcome you. If you want to change america rather than join america, then maybe you should rethink coming, and maybe were not the best fit for you. Thats what the focus of immigration ought to be from the getgo. Lou and pope francis saying there are limits to freedom of expression, and that you shouldnt, that you cant make fun of religion. I know he didnt intend to but that sounds supportive of the violence in paris and radical islamist terrorism around the world, when you make such a statement. Cant make fun of it. To say that the cartoons of mohammed i dont know your thoughts. Well, free speech is just that, its free speech. People say things that are offensive. People say things that offend me every day. I dont go killing anybody over it. You know when the pope made that comment i had to ask myself what he maybe should have amplified to say is free speech has limits but the limitations ought to be by the character and the courtesy and good decency and just manners of the people who are speaking. But heres one thing i dont think any of us want. I hope not. That is the government telling us what the limitations of speech can be. If the pope is intimating you cant say that because the government will crack down on you as they say in france. Brigitte bardot was fined five times because she made comments unflattering toward muslims and treatment of animals. You cant be a free people without freedom of speech. Its fundamental to the essence of liberty. Lou people talk about universal rights and hold up american rights as the exemplar of that. The truth is the rights we think of as most precious are certainly american rights, not universal rights. Theyre the rights that our forebearers fought for secured and it is ours to hold and to sustain. Mike, great to see you, you got a new book coming out, god, guns, grits and gravy. We cant wait. Mike huckabee good to have you with us. Thanks lou.

At that point, the man whips out a. 22caliber revolver shooting the officer five times before take his own life. 25yearold Police Officer Tyler Stewart had been on the force less than a year. A few comments now on the intriguing force shaping policy in the obama white house. The force is not often identified as formulator of policy decisionmaking or arbiter of decision direction and administrative but that force is one to be reckoned with, president obama says hes not an emperor or king but should he change his mind about all that. That force that is part svengali part rasputin and chief consiglier is Valerie Jarrett who went to spin away the overwhelming criticism of the administrations failure to march in solidarity with 44 other N
