And others oppose this. david brooks of "the new york times" opposes this. henry kissinger, "the washington post" editorial page so many well regarded liberals and kndss think this is a bad deal peculiarly the sunset provision. lets give a chance to make his case congress has equal power in foreign policy to the president, the speaker of the house was entirely within his power to invite him. let everybody come and listen. i would like to ask jeremy whether he supports the boycott of israel by so...

You? >> you know i listened to your previous segment on this issue, and i believe the reason that prime minister netanyahu is coming here is because he has tried to talk behind closed doors to the president. he has tried to say to him that this deal that the president seems determined to reach is a danger not only to the region but to the world. i remember sitting in prime minister netanyahus office five years ago, and what he wanted to talk about then was iran. i believe hes coming here because...

I pointed to the one with the green awning. i see it. and the car pulls away. everybody began to come out of their houses and in canarsie you had about 13 steps and i guess the top, the porch up on the top. they were all standing on their porches and the car pulls into the driveway and he gets out. >> walks in there. >> beautiful. he is tony curtis with muscles. beautiful. his hair jet black, hes got chocolate brown overcoat on suit, and matches the car and he looks amazing. he grabs me by the b...

They say there are real problems here. we need coalitions and bipartisan work on foreign policy to defeat isil on health care immigration, and what the president has failed to do not just last several days but i think for the past six plus years is engage understand its governing is tough. compromises are difficult. there is a give and take to the process, and i dont think whether he thinks he is above or beyond it which is disappointing he is in the middle of it. its one thing to have the title...

Benami and in five or six years the provisions will kick in and iran will be guaranteed a nuclear weapon. if thats the case lets see if prime minister netanyahu can persuade congress. if he can then it will be good for the relationship. people forget that congress has as much power over foreign policy as the president does under the constitution. and must serve as a check and balance. and we will see whether or not congress is persuaded that jeremy is right and this is the best way, or whether i...

Will embrace a full bill full funding for the balance of the year and then engage the president one on one, executive legislative, do it the old-fashioned way. send it to legislate gags get at this immigration problem and the way we have build compromises that are very much the art of politics and governing. >> you won a couple elections yourself. the political optics of this are horrible for the gop because to me at least it seems they are saying well we oppose the presidents amnesty so what ar...

Basically combining the notion that mohammed might have been a prophet but also a general in means of destruction involving crucifixion, beheading, the kind of activity we see isil engaged in now. i think at the end of the day we need to accept the fact that this is a permanent scourge, that they are not going away for a long time. and one of the fascinating things is the threats to the malls that existed since i started looking at threat streams many years ago. but the fact they are able to ele...
