fox news contribute tore and pulitzer prize winner judith miller will give us perspective. that's coming up next. >> welcome back, everyone, the deal brokered between the united states is bringing the question, where does this put israel? we will talk about fact that john kerry, in israel, is talking about this deal with netanyahu offering guarded response to this. when we look at words of guarded optimism, what does it mean? >> it means that israel, this sounds nice. we don't trust it for a minute. we don't trust the syrians. to an israeli this is a deal that screams "don't trust," then you won't have to put the emphasis on verification. they are really nervous. on the one hand they are delighted with the prospect of their enemy forever disarming himself of a whole category of weapons. but they don't believe that bashar al-assad is going to give the weapons up any more than they believe that bashar al-assad wants to make peace with israel. >> israel maintains it can take care of itself if syria decides to wage a strike against them and the interior minister also saying, wa

judith miller, saana jackson. >>> let's talk about syria first, because we just heard from the president about an hour or so ago, saying that he's not authorized a strike in syria as of yet, but if we do engage syria it won't be a long-term conflict and it will serve as a quote, shot across the bow" to deter the use of chemical weapons. judith, are you satisfied with that reasoning? >> i think he's now signaled personally to do something to make good on his red line commitment a year ago. you know, he really had to do something and the thinking is this in the white house, if you don't do something, iran may very well think it could develop a nuclear weapons without consequences. but it can't be a long-term engagement if it starts soon. because the president has to go next week to russia for his summit meeting and it would be a little awkward sitting down with the man who says we won't tolerate any military action against syria. >> your comments? >> i'm afraid of unilateral actions. i think we have to have a multilateral approach i don't want to see another iraq and that what concerns me

pulitzer award-winning columnist judith miller. let's start with this bizarre series of statements and remarks, comments. it looks like tonight i have a possibility becoming a framework for a leader. >> it may be an odd form of diplomacy, but they have stumbled into something that may give president obama the out he has been looking for when he looks to see the way the hell is stacking up at 80% of the american people, more now than when he started talking about military strike opposed to this, he needed an lifeline and it looks like he has been thrown one by vladimir putin. lou: the narrative, it cannot convey the massive surprise and the absurdity and offhand remark about as buttoned-down as you can get. it could lead to a real resolution, couldn't it? >> yet almost wonder how long he has been planning this. he looked at obama and said this guy is about to start a third war in the middle east because america bombs, through a response, start to escalate, or he's going to do something that is going to topple assad. we don't like ei

judith miller and ko host of the five. i'm actually the visitor. >> you're welcome. >> yes, thank you for having me. let's first talk about 12 years. you heard the president there about going after terrorists responsible. jason, it's a mixed bag on that. especially if you look in the context of going after the people responsible in benghazi, libya. >> sure, the question today is do people feel safer. after 12 years, we feel safer than we felt back then. the question is, to we feel safer since obama took office. i think we certainly are less -- to the extent this president wants to diminish the u.s. role in the world. i think we're a little less safer, maybe the world is a little less safer. >> i would kind of like to put ray kelly in charge of homeland security because we in new york do feel safer and welcome to our town. >> yes, thank you very much. >> because it is a $200 million annual effort and it takes the work of a thousand men and women in uniform, analysts, cyber people, to keep this city safe and with everyone in

judith miller, thank you very much, and you are so connected that it was interesting to hear you talk about the assistant secretary of the state department and put a question fort, and again, if he reaches out the you, let us know. >> i will be sure to let you know. >> we appreciate your journalist. thank you very much. >>> the fall of one of america's largest financial business firms, lehman brothers, and the dark day of wall street and then started what is termed "the great recession" five years later, and we are about to mark that. americans say they know exactly where the economy is, and president obama is getting ready to make a speech on that. and what will he say? we will take a look. >>> and panic, in midtown man hat and the as shots are fired just as the crossroads of the world with a busy time in shops and people were diving to take cover.

miller and then the next day cite the "new york times" as evidence for why saddam hussein was trying to build a nuclear bomb or whatever. again, that's an extreme example. i'm not comparing o'bagy. >> we're willing participants in that. of course in the case of the bush administration, they're leaking to the "new york times" because they then want to refer to the "new york times" which they say the media reads and listens to so they create their own story line. >> the illusion it's independent though is what i'm getting at as opposed to like if o'bagy had been cited according to the obama administration blah blah as opposed to she's an independent researcher. but i know this is how washington works. i just thought it would be interesting to pull back the curtain a little bit for our viewers because it does happen all the time. >> it happens absolutely all the time. the way to show the reality and then to show john mccain and john kerry talking about this woman in one of the most important hearings we've seen in a long time, should give everybody pause. >> but it's part of the rollout

jon: let's talk about it with judith miller, a pulitzer prize-winning reporter and author, kirsten powers is a columnist for the daily beast, both of them fox news contributors. kirsten, to you first. you have spent a lot of time on capitol hill working in democratic politics prior to your journalism career. is it smart politics for the president to make that, take that shot at fox? >> yeah, i actually think it is. i think it's something that you see republicans doing a lot when they are, you know,ville nice the liberal --ville nice the liberal media, so the president has set himself up against fox news, in this case, i think in a sort of light hearted way. it ignores the fact that there actually is a diversity of views here, as we know, not just among the liberals that are actually on the channel who support obamacare, but even within the republican party there's disagreement. you have karl rove arguing against defunding obamacare, for example. so there isn't a unanimous view regarding how to approach obamacare. but, you know, maybe the president doesn't watch fox. jon: well, he said tha

judith miller is a pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter and author, she also worked at the times for a time. kirsten powers is a columnist for the daily beast, both are fox news contributors. so, judy, based on your experience at the gray lady how did this all come about? was there a three a.m. phone call to the editorial board in which vladimir putin said, hey, i've got this great piece, i'd like you to run it? >> well, we do know that the pr firm of kevin channel which has earned approximately $50 million from vladimir putin's russia since it was hired to improve his image in 2006 offered in this to the new york times, and because "the new york times" is not foolish and understands news when it sees it, immediately grabbed it and put it on the page. the new york times believes in the first amendment. putin had something to say, and, in fact, it accounted for 11% of all traffic the day that it ran at "the new york times." jon: wow. so from a pr standpoint, certainly a smart move, i suppose. what about from a journalistic standpoint, kirsten? >> you know, i had mixed feelings abo
