day and i didn t do just that. what the president has done is blatantly violate his constitutional oath by doing something that foreign dictators have been accused of doing, playing this game well, if you don t act i will. well, that s just not how it works in america. congress sometimes acts by not acting. and that s part of the process that the president hasn t wrapped his head around. you know, as a senator he had the same complaints about overexecutive authority reached on the part of president bush. you re saying this now. what happens, i don t know what it is, senator. but once they become president, maybe if you became president, you re going to be issuing your own executive orders and doing the very thing that you accuse this president of abuse. presidents issue executive orders all the time and have from the very beginning. that s not the issue. the issue is whether these orders are violations of the law or violations of the constitution. and what the president has done re
all right. you just heard nypd union chiefs telling me that the president is now throwing them under the bus just as much as new york city s mayor. is that dangerous for the rest of us? after this. (trader vo) i search. i research. i dig. and dig some more. because, for me, the challenge of the search. is almost as exciting as the thrill of the find.

oil a big reason. it is collapsing, folks. it s under $61 a barrel. it s essentially been cut in half over the last year. no that this could lead to too much of a good thing here. the fear seems to be that that must be prefacing something. laying on energy stocks which are big components within the dow and one of the reasons some people are saying look this is not a supply and demand issue. this is maybe a slowing economy issue. you ve heard reports out of the likes of china that india might be slowing. if that is the case, there s less appetite for the stuff. and that could mean that we re in some economic tricky waters here. way too soon to tell. the dow is so year to date is still up appreciably as are a lot of averages. but they are giving back a lot of that ground on concern that we could have too much of a good thing. so enjoy it at the pump but it s not exactly pumping up the economy. meanwhile, gut his amnesty. president obama said no republican president would have the guts
now, what you are offended by the way the president and the way the attorney general and the way new york city s mayor have treated police. i just had lunch with kelly a few weeks ago. a lot of people know, kelley, he went from 700,000 stop and frisks to 109,000. you can t get rid of it completely. it s a great tool on the streets for cops. what i don t like what s going on is pile on time. if this was really a racial event, in staten island, there was a police sergeant who was a female black who was on the scene, and it was a 6-foot black guy that went down. i m here to dispute the fact about piling on. now you got this hip-hop guy
