the latest anonymous strike from the obama white house comes from a, quote unquote unidentified obama administration employee. you'll remember another unnamed white house staffer. referred to the prime minister as a chicken expletive and a coward back in october for refusing to de-escalate tensions with his muslim neighbors. the escalation and personal attacks means the prime minister can't ignore even israel's friends when it comes to threats. but iran won't be outdone when it comes to threats against israel. the iranian state news agency published pictures of netanyahu's children and calling for a hezbollah hunt. mr. obama is assailing our key ally in the middle east. and seeking -- only for a time with our enemy the islamic enemy of iran. former ambassador daniel among our guests here tonight.

>> so barack obama prefers these people to the white house press corps? >> i think the white house press corps knows what it needs to do to get a one-on-one with president obama. i guess you could say it's his presidency and he'll talk to who he wants to. i just like that woman's hair, i must say. but we know that the white house feels more comfortable on talk show couches and with youtubers than actual journalists. >> they're treating this like they go to the hollywood after party. >> is it a serious policy speech? i thought it was the state of the union address. this is sort of the historical trajectory of the state of the union has gone from being a piece of paper that thomas jefferson would hand into congress all the way over to this. i guess the people who warned about the cheapening of the event that would begin when the president actually delivered it in person has been rendered prophetic. >> but here is a more serious point which is the president has been going around basically telling everyone what will be in the speech, material housing aid, fre

he says the obama white house is still stonewalling his investigation and the american people. he joins us. and the president's choice to lead the department of justice says that illegal immigrants have the same rights as american citizens when it comes to the right to work in america. really. we'll take that up along with a lot of other issues. billionaire media mogul is with us on a battle we started fighting with the bush administration and that battle goes on today. a president who continues to choose political correctness over straightforwardness and national security. our first guest says sanctions brought the iranians to the negotiating table in the first place and avoiding future sanctions is the only reason for them to enter an agreement to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons. joining us is the chairman of the senate banking committee richard shelby. good to have you with us. senator bob menendez said clearly a week ago the president sounded at times as if his talking points were from tehran and is now lined up with the president. what do you make of it? >> i

for those reasons, the obama white house in 2012 worried more about him than mitt romney. >> i got to tell you, if the guy runs the table in iowa, i think he can do it. if he built a team and he figures out a way, dominate south carolina, he is a strong candidate. the other thing about it is, he has as good a touch on radio and television and in debates is anybody else. >> here are his problems. first, he does not like talking to rich people. he does not like rich people much at all. you have to raise money. he can live off the land more than some candidates. but he has a problem with that. and he has a chip on his shoulder the size of gibraltar and it comes through. the counterpoint to i am a conservative who is not angry at anyone is he has a lot of grievances. >> he needs a really great super pac manager. he can make a lot of progress if he gets a super pac to do his bidding. you do not want to go negative. let the super pac do it. >> agree with that. he would be a real player, i think we agree with that. it is 2015, the year of "back to the future ii" and let's pretend that our po

the racially exploitative obama white house over regions efforts to leverage the ferguson crisis and political damage. the unexpected vigorous backlash against the obama white house and attorney general holder backing off, and the ferguson point man, al sharpton in this new year has been reduced to calling for emergency meetings when favorite actors are snubbed at the oscars. if there is such a thing as an emergency screening of a movie that is what happened this weekend. the director of the new movie "selma" does a little stomach as well pretending portraying him in a way that some don't believe that he was. the director says this is a film that i am not a historian even though it is a buyout that. and "the new york times" berean job says that she wasn't interested in making a white savior movie. i get the feeling, given those words, that it she would have made a movie called gettysburg, there would've been only are an uprising of slaves would've begun the civil war. so lbj historians like this one says that mlk and lbj were partners. saying at a time when racial tension is once aga

in the obama white house she ran the state department. she was the secretary of state and said the relationship in the country and i have asked even my close democratic friends and yes i actually have a few, i'd ask them this question and they can't answer. name a country on this planet with whom we have a better relationship now than we did when the obama administration took office in 2009 and guess what, nobody can give me the name of one country. so that is going to be a problem. when you mentioned things like benghazi i still think that's hard for hillary clinton. >> host: what do you expect democrats to do with a war on the women especially if hillary clinton is the nomination how would you handle that inevitability from the left >> guest: if that is the best that we might as well start measuring and getting the inaugural ball planned because that is proven to fall so short. the colorado senate race is a great example of how this message rings hollow. and look, intelligent, thoughtful strong women know that they are not helpless crea

her husband's former chief of staff john podesta leaving the obama white house to lead team hillary. she'll have a top clinton strategist and chief media advisor. the biggest question is whether secretary clinton has been using this down time to hone her campaign rationale, to answer the liberals who say she's too cozy. while awaiting her return to the public stage, even senior republicans and those democrats pushing to draft elizabeth warren concede her 2016 staff recruits are top notch. that's it for inside politics. again, thanks for sharing your sunday morning. i'm off to foxborough this morning. go patriots. we'll see you soon. "state of the union" starts right now. >>> as many as 20 sleeper cells, 180 jihadis waiting to bring more terror across europe. is the u.s. next? i'm jim sciutto and this is "state of the union". >> this is breaking news. >>> breaking news across the atlantic. all of europe under siege now. military and police deployed by the thousands across belgium and france as the chief of that continent's combined police force says he cannot guarantee anyone's

the book is "the stranger: barack obama in the white house." do "politico." as bill you have not read your own book. whistles while bags and washington handshakes. what are we doing with that quiet >> guest: well, this is our chance to decode and explain how politicians, people in washington and politicians at all levels from city councils to state houses talk. we thought it was interesting to capture some of the unique phrases and expressions that people in politics lobbyists, staffers, even us in the media say. we tried to make it funny. we tried to make it understandable to the average person who might be a little interested in politics, but it may be confused by it. >> host: what is one of your theory that phrase is our dog whistles? >> guest: when doing research for this book i noticed the expression whinnied to have a conversation about how often president obama says it. he basically says whenever he is confronted with a crisis or situation that he doesn't want to deal with. he said that after the ad word snowden nsa problem and the school shooting in c

it seems atomic hear violin music from the obama white house. why in the world isn't anyone talking straightforwardly, clearly about us interests and our concerns, and perhaps -- perhaps that it was a mistake on the part of the obama administration to dismiss the monroe doctrine in november of 2013. >> yeah. now i part ways with a lot of conservatives on cuba. i think we have to have an american relationship with cuba in order to prevent the chinese and the russians, and the venezuelans and every adversary. these castro boys will die. the major world power that is already there will have a large influence on whatever comes next. if it's not us, who is it going to be? it's potentially the russians and the chinese. as you pointed out, secretary kerry through out the monroe doctrine. the monroe doctrine no longer exists, he said. i look at russia and i say, the only place we've come close to nuclear war is with russia. we cannot allow the russians or chinese to have a close relationship. they will demand for a military relationship. cuba cannot fal

uk and president obama at the white house. we're looking to bring any updates from what they say in a press availability later tonight, but thinking about that surveillance factor, what do you make of the turnaround time? >> there's a specific cycle. when you move from the prepaceal phase to target acquisition to the weapons procurement, that's pretty far along. no doubt the bellants service, who i've worked with in the past felt like this group was getting operational. in light of paris, it's prudent to -- once they start hitting the streets to go after their targets, they're going to have a 90% success rate. so it's very important to try to preempt and neutralize even if there were some fatalities. michael, we are seeing now as they news reports pile up a lot of people pointing out what the intelligence community has known for a while, that belgium is a hotbed for thinks fundamentalists on a per capita base moore than any other european nation a fact that is now known to anyone who's been following this story, but still news

there's not a whole lot of difference between him and the obama white house in terms of needing to do something to fix this system. and he's bucking up against a large part of his party there. but the republicans i think need to be very careful about immigration, not only to avoid angering hispanics as being seen as anti-immigrant, but also the catholic bishops a lot of evangelical leaders jewish leaders, are very much promight have immigration reform. republicans have a delicate dance to do in terms of not angering their own base, also not angering the folks who are really in favor of this. >> on the democratic side, hillary clinton, does she get an opponent? i think you're going to see a big and debate on the democratic side about economics and where the party wants to be. elizabeth warren is representative and a spokesperson for a kind of rising populist wing in the party and i think that will be a very interesting discussion matched up against the republicans. >> she did a pretty active faith-based outreach during the last campaign season and aggressively went after fade-based vot

also the chairman of the house select committee on benghazi who says the obama white house is still stonewalling his committee's investigation from the american people congressman trey gotti will be with us and the northeast blizzard that dumped more than two feet of snow in boston is overwhelming parts of new england tonight. we'll have the latest straight ahead. >>> our first guest tonight says sanctions brought the iranians to the negotiation table in the first place and avoiding future sanction says the only incentive for iran to reach an agreement that would prevent them from building nuclear weapons. senator richard shelby, good to have you with us senator. >> thank you, lou. lou: this is unexpected. senator bob menendez amongst those. he said clearly a week ago that the president sounded at times as if his talk points were from tehran is now lined up with the president. what do you make of it. >> i think it's obama democratic politics. i would hope that we would come up with a bipartisan approach to sanctions we have in the past, but negotiations have been going on a long time. i think th

in the obama white house she ran the state department. she was secretary of state. she's she set the table for the relationships with other countries and i've asked even my close to the critic friends and yes i actually have a few. i'd ask them this question name a country on this planet filled with a we have a better relationship now than we did when the obama administration took office in 2009 and guess what, nobody can give me the name of one country, not one. so i think that's going to be a problem for her. even though the left goes nuts when you mention things like ben ghazi i still think that is heartburn for hillary his heartburn for hillary clinton. >> host: what do you expect democrats to do with a war on women especially if hillary clinton is the nomination, how would you handle that inevitability from the left? >> guest: i hope that is the best weapon they have because if it is we might as well go ahead and start measuring drapes and get into the plan because that's proving to fall so short. the colorado senate race is a great example of how this message

best reporters in the country are passed up by the obama white house for an interview with the president in favor of youtube stars whose claim to fame at least for one of them is taking a bath in fruit loops. i hope it's only one of them. if you thought those kinds of credentials would result in interviews, would have been below the dignity of the office, you were right. take a look. >> i, sometime people think i do, i don't smoke pot. it's not for me i think it's bad for my brain. i'm not into, it people think i do smoke pot because i'm in favor of legalizing marijuana. >> and my mama say when you go somebody's house give something, don't come empty-handed. so i have for your first wife. >> my first wife. >> i mean --. >> you know something i don't? >> ooh. >> if you have any free time what tv shows or movies do you watch? >> you know, i'm really big on sports. so the truth of the matter is i'm mostly watching "sportscenter." >> you can take a selfie with me? >> let's do it. >> got it! >> there's reason to hold out hope. 15 million of you millennials voted for the president back in 2008

. >> but it's the obama white house that seemingly lacks the guts and wherewithal to counter the cyber attacks. president obama tried to adopt a new doctrine four years ago to regard a foreign attack by a foreign nation as an act of war, establishing the bases for this country's use of military force. yet the white house and pentagon worked hard to downplay north korea's cyber attacks on sony. and the pentagon spokesman steve warren today responded to the attacks on centcom's twitter and facebook accounts, quote, this is a little more than a prank or vandalism. it's inconvenient and annoyance, but that's all it is. it in no way compromises our operations in any way shape or form. a prank, really? a prank? all these word games are now standard for the obama administration, which is reliably all too quick to dismiss our enemies and their threats and attacks. you recall mr. obama dismissed the sony cyber attack as cyber vandalism. he dismissed russia as a regional power which just happens to be in possession of crimea now and threatening much of eastern europe. it was the obama administra

also the chairman of the house select committee on benghazi who says the obama white house is still stonewalling his committee's investigation from the american people congressman trey gotti will be with us and the northeast blizzard that dumped more than two feet of snow in boston is overwhelming parts of new england tonight. we'll have the latest straight ahead. >>> our first guest tonight says sanctions brought the iranians to the negotiation table in the first place and avoiding future sanction says the only incentive for iran to reach an agreement that would prevent them from building nuclear weapons. senator richard shelby, good to have you with us senator. >> thank you, lou. lou: this is unexpected. senator bob menendez amongst those. he said clearly a week ago that the president sounded at times as if his talk points were from tehran is now lined up with the president. what do you make of it. >> i think it's obama democratic politics. i would hope that we would come up with a bipartisan approach to sanctions we have in the past, but negotiations have been going on a long time. i think th

within the white house. for the sake of discussion, what would be your response? >> let's start with tony on that. >> look, they definitely have talked about transparency in the obama white house. more than others. but they complain about us more than they did about clinton as well. i think in the case of both of our white houses, though, what you have, you can call it lack of transparency, in some cases maybe it is. it's actually just a lot more discipline than there was in the clinton administration, what was relatively like, wild west. lots of people talking all over. sort of chaotic. we looked at that and said, we need to be more disciplined as to who is talkinged to the media and why and when. with -- what this morphed into in the bush administration was this notion that we never had any disagreements on things. there were never any arguments. the president wasn't hearing counter views. and -- which is completely untrue. i think it will be borne out in lots of books, when a lot of information on the whi

communist island nation. >>> and the obama white house returned another al qaeda terrorist to the middle east without public notice, and it appears without consulting with congress. the obama justice department released the al qaeda operative and flew him to qatar. there are only a few of the reasons of the many reasons that the president won't be focusing tonight on his foreign policy agenda. fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry is on the north lawn with our report. >> reporter: for every state of the union address there are the images the white house wants the public to see such as president obama in the oval office today making final preps. then the images of the world burning that the president wants to spend far less time on tonight like the deepening crisis in yemen where the u.s.-backed government is facing a coup. isis demanding 200 million dollar ransom for two japanese hostages. and iran signing military aliance with russia. >> i'm not sure how much time president obama will devote to the very serious threats facing this nation but i think americans in such uncerta

there was an ongoing argument that was criticized by french officials and by the obama white house in 2012 that the paper was unnecessarily insulting or provocative toward religion. >> this has changed that. in other words this has transcended that. >> you can name blame the victim. >> this is not the time to have this debate but about the principle of western values. >> some of this you find offensive oratist and you do not want to defend it. >> i defend their right to do it >> i understand but i will thy for your right to say it. >> and they do. >> but, in fact the french didn't. okay? if we see a million people in the streets of paris today, are they willing to put troops on the ground to go after radical islam? >> that is why the terrorists said they were attacking "charlie hebdo" because of the situation in the middle east. >> serious number of troops on the ground and we are talking aboutually going if they want to be martyrs make it so. we have fought seen the french do that. >> important point is this is a hot story but we know how the media runs from one crisis to the next. i

house to serve as a liaison between the clinton campaign and the white house. it is looking like she will be more connected to him than ever. last night on "hardball." the two guys that helped obama beat hillary clinton reacted to the energy campaign team she is assembling. >> campaigns have to be about something, they have to be about a story. these guys know how to construct that kind of strategy and he will benefit greatly from having them. >> if the people on the campaign head quarters are playing for the name on the front instead of the name on the back, do something bigger than themselves, i think that will define success in this campaign. >> back to the round table now. this campaign that hillary is putting together, i'm impressed by podesta. someone that is not an emmy of barack obama. someone that is close to him and close to bill clinton. could it be that the democratic party will not be in disarray in 2016? they will be together in the dualing monarchy of obama, clinton, and bill clinton. >> it looks like so far hillary clinton is so far out ahead of

have the impression the obama white house, wants a deal very badly and this is a way that obama can show that america can change the way global gravity works. that said saudi arabia and the large sunnis population in the broad middle east believe this basically turns over the region and creates a new hedgemon of extremism. so it's a very big mess. it looks like president obama is not going over to the funeral of king abdullah. joe biden is. joe biden is important. i agree with you he should run for president. when you have a nation as important as saudi arabia doubting america's support of it at a time you're about to perhaps strike a big deal a historic deal of enormous proportion, then you need to kind of level both sides. >> what do you think, michael, on the iranian equation on a nuclear program, the saudis in this transition? >> the saudis have to recognize the united states is still going to be militarily engaged in the region and therefore they still have some pretty good help. they may wish for a perfect world in which iran has no nuclear weapons. they can't produce that world. w

we know the obama white house does not pay women the same as men. but look i'm not going to say that it doesn't happen. i think women do hit a glass ceiling and then they go out and smart businesses. and guess what? women-owned businesses create jobs in this country more than all the fortune 500 companies combined. when you start making it hard for these women to have jobs, you're going to have a problem. >> that transcends the whole gender thing. you're a small business owner. it's about just providing opportunity that would benefit men and women. >> we don't need government getting in the way of women creating jobs. i'm the co-owner of a small business in its 68th year and all we need is government to come in and regulate us even more especially coming from new york. >> even if men and women are paid equally? >> absolutely. currently we don't have any women operating a press but when i was running a division in our company, we did have a woman running a press, and she was fabulous, and she got paid based on merit, not based on some government inte

obama white house he has been telephoning united states senators on the matter. >> not in any way as british prime minister to tell the american citizens what it should or shouldn't do wouldn't be right. simply to make the point that it is the opinion of the united kingdom that further threat of vankzs wouldn't help. >> compromised of the u.s., uk, russia france and germany knee deep into the second year of negotiations with iran conservatives wary of engagement are cautioning the president not to review sanctions as a real deterrent to the nuclear ambition. >> i think that is the general view in the intelligence community they have had an something effect. >> senior white house officials tell me the president in his remarks today threw out the timeframe of 60 to 90 days to assure lawmakers there is an end point to the iran nuclear talks but to show that mr. obama himself is growing impatient with iran. >> live on the north lawn. thank you. >>> the heads of state also discussed the terror plots unfolding throughout the globe. groups like isis and others are increasingly turning to th

right now that the obama white house is pressuring mr. netanyahu not to come and if he discuss there could be, quote, consequences. what's your reaction as this is happening to a key ally of ours? >> it's bizarre surreal and most unfortunate. look, israel is our most important ally in the region and it is one of our most important allies in the world. we need to be standing with israel and doing everything we can to protect israel against the many threats that it faces from every single direction. so, look, the president has what i believe to be a deficient strategy, a failed strategy legislate ifl and in his negotiation posture. the fact that there are members of congress in both houses in both political parties who recognize this ought to be an indication to the president that he ought to reconsider what he's doing. this is yet another manifestation of this, i think it is unfortunate and an embarrassment to the world that we've got had this leader coming over and the president is worried about what this says about whether protocol is fo
