Good morning. It is tuesday, january 13th. We were going to bump in with josh, yeah. Yeah. Well get to that. Do you have your dalmation jacket . I do have a jacket. Where is it . Do i look like a dalmation . No i dont look like a dalmation, do i . He thinks i look like one. No. Put it on. Okay. Im a little cold. Anyhow, its january do i look like a dalmation . Yes, you do. I would take that off right now. With us onset, Mike Barnicle. Im not sure why im asking your fashion advice. Look. Very good. Now hes come a long way. This actually is very nice. Who is this . Maggie. I knew it was something great. The best. Sam is here. School day. Yeah yeah. Twofold as mike said. A lot going on. The joke never gets old. It does get old. Its not funny anymore. Never stops. Last night i got to say, guys i mean im still stunned that the big ten is not the worst conference in football. I mean they have been bad for so long and i heard Kirk Herbstreit say this last night after the game, they have been bad for so long. They have been slow, fat, and plotting. But, man, last night, this Ohio State Team they were impressive as any s. E. C. Team ive seen in a while. Beat oregon alabama, and beat wisconsin 590 consecutive
weeks, then youre the most dominant team in the country. And the quarterback, man. Hes great. What do you do next year . You have the three great quarterbacks. Braxton miller. Do you know who you play . You play the guy that beat wisconsin 590 beat the alabama crimson tide the best team talentwise, and then oregon. You have no other choice. Their running back zeke elliott is incredible. Theres a difference of one man. Talk about urban meyer, he comes into the big ten, recruits the speed that he brought from the s. E. C. And all of a sudden ohio state and big ten, may look at michigan state, michigan maybe coming up. Harbaugh. When do you think the pac10 including oregon is going to start concentrating on learning how to tackle well . Ohio stit was ohio state was great. Oregon could not tackle anyone. Just smaller. It could happen in a year if
urban meyer or somebody else best jewish player in football. I love that. Wore a crop top, which is great. What this really shows, its just College Football on a smaller level but we saw this at the university of alabama. You see it a lot of times in politics. You see it in business. Certainly saw it at ford when Alan Mullally went to ford. One man, one woman can make a difference. Yeah. In an you can have the best ive seen this through the years. You can have the best organization in the world, you can have the best government in the world, best democracy in the world, you can have the best church in the world, you can have the best College Football program with the best facilities in the world. But if you dont have that one strong leader that can make a difference actually bend history, its all nor naught. Again, on a much smaller level but this is an example of how one person makes a difference. He did it essentially
overnight. It wasnt this long process for ohio state. In the old regime like last year the title game would have been alabama florida state. We never would have seen this. Never out of the south. Thank you, College Football for implementing it. Ohio state michigan is going to be an event every fall. Every fall. You guys hear about this former Miami Dolphins player . Incredible. Incredible. This is incredible. The guy falls off his boat. Hes like fishing alone on his own boat. I think its off miami. Dont know. Its serious. I get very worried if my dad goes out in a boat alone for a lot of reasons. He fell off his boat and was in the water for 16 hours. Almost rescued twice. Almost rescued twice but didnt get seen. They didnt see him. He was being eaten by jellyfish, swirled around by this is rob konrad. And so apparently he was washed offshore. He had i dont know how he made it but he had a press
conference with his wife and talked about it. Take a look. I prayed to god to send a boat or the coast guard to come get me. And, yeah i mean after some time i just said look im not dying tonight. And im going to make it to shore. The fishing boat had the lights on. He couldnt have been 50 yards from me. And i had been in the water at least ten hours at that point in time. And to have the boat come that close and not hear you or see you was just you had to get your mind right at that point in time. But, look ive got two two beautiful daughter ss. I was hitting that shore. Wow. Yeah. Thats thats incredible. So hes home. I know we were saving that for later but while we were on the topic of sports i just was so taken by that story. All right. Lets get to the news. Officials in paris are warning Hayat Boumeddiene may not be the only suspect in the paris terror attack still at large. Up to six members of a terror cell are reportedly still on the loose. Police officials tell the Associated Press that one man was seen driving the mini cooper car registered to boumediene. Theres also new video showing her and a man arriving at an airport in istanbul january 2nd days before the attacks. Turkeys foreign minister said she crossed into syria from turkey the day after the Charlie Hebdo attack. The first issue of the satirical newspaper since the attack is on the newsstand that showing the profit mohammed holding a sign saying hi, im charlie and the words, all is forgiven. The former writer for the paper said the staff was determined to get back to work. The survivors are very very shook, for sure. The first day was very difficult for them to work to just focus. They are very few now, but because they knew that our wanted them to draw crazy, stupid guys who can kill for a cartoon, they start again to work. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu visited that Grocery Store in paris to remember the victims and to urge World Leaders to come together and fight terrorism. In just a short time ago funerals were held for the four french jews killed in the Grocery Store standoff. Joining us now from jerusalem amman. Set the scene for us there. Good morning, mika. Were hearing right now from
french minister. She is one of the dignitaries that has been speaking a short while ago. We heard from the israeli Prime Minister as well as the israeli president who both addressed the crowds of mourners here. Hundreds of people have gathered to pay their final respects to the four victims of that terror attack on friday in the kosher supermarket. There people here with the signs that we have seen all around the world, je suis charlie, expressing solidarity with all the mourners here but as well with the victims and the families, the families of the four arrived to israel early this morning with those bodies. They are going to be laid to rest here at the cemetery. But the message that has been coming out from israeli officials has been one particularly that of Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu who all of europes jews that they have a home here and this is where the worlds Jewish Community can feel safe. Israel welcomes all worlds jews with open arms. Thats been one of the issues that has been triggered as a result of this terror attack on friday, whether or not it is safe for french jews to remain in france or whether or not they should come here to israel. But it has been a very somber day. The message that has been coming out of officials here is that these individuals that were killed, they are not alone, they are part of the community here. And weve been hearing that message over and over from all the officials that have been addressing the crowd. In terms of the ceremony that weve seen, the four bodyiesyies were brought here to the cemetery, where the speeches have been taking place, it will be a lot quieter once the bodies have been taken i side the cemetery with the families where they will be buried in a private ceremony. Mika . Thank you. You know its looking at that im struck by come of the coverage that ive seen since these shootings. At the beginning there were some networks including cnn, that were saying well, this wasnt focused towards jews. These werent antisemetic
attacks. It wasnt in a jewish section of town. A bbc reporter is now calling for his resignation because he actually was interviewing a holocaust survivor mike he was interviewing a holocaust survivor and she talked about how she was fearful about growing antisemitism which is a very well documented fact during france and throughout europe. He said well, the israelis treat the palestinians badly, too. Comparing the killing of 6 million jews to an ongoing fight in israel. Yeah well i mean there is antisemitism in europe and theres antisemitism in the media. One of the sub stories here one of the off leads in this story and has been for quite some time is the clearly increasingly rising antisemitism throughout all of europe. But specifically in france. And its something that the french have failed to deal with or are incapable of dealing
with. I dont know what nation can deal with the threat of antisemitism. But it is growing. Sure. I mean throughout europe theres just a very different perception of the Israeli Palestinian conflict than there exists in the United States. It feeds into a lot of the antisemitism you see on that continent. It hits this home in a visceral way, obviously, but it also underscores the pretty much the fundamental reason for the founding of israel which is you have to have a refuge. There is a reason why israel exists. And for people in europe that dont understand why israel exists take what happened last week and multiply it about, you know 2 million times. And the holocaust in europe and antisemitism that has been in europe for centuries. And its not going away. It is getting worse now. The fact that the bbc has a correspondent as insensitive and cold to the realities, this did
not happen 300 years ago. This happened you know 60 65 years ago. While europe sat by and did nothing, they let 6 million jews be exterminated. This is why israel exists. And people need to get a hell of a lot more sensitive to it even if they are leftleaning media members. And i cannot believe that bbc is going to allow this man to stay on the bbc. And there are some other people that need to be very careful when theyre trying to characterize clearly killings that are antisemetic and try to brush that away because i guess for some reason it doesnt fit their political agenda. All right. The white house says admitting it was wrong. Not to send a higher level official to the giant unity rally in paris. Why didnt they . Why didnt they . Press secretary josh earnest still faces tough questions for
stating security factors were a concern on short notice. How do you explain that that the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, he made it there. Hes a huge target unfortunately. Ill allow the israelis to discuss that. Dozens of leaders from countries very important. Theyre not america but very important. How did they make it there . Talk with them about the security precautions they have in place. Mandela dozens of security might be more but it comes up at short notice. Unfortunately mandela dies me wanted to be there. He made it. The difference with president mandela is that there had been discussions that had been ongoing for frankly a number of years about the ceremony that would take place in the event of his death. You said the president personally wishes he would have liked to have gone. Why didnt he . What was he doing on sunday . We havent gotten an account of what the president did on sunday . I havent stone to the president about what he did yesterday. It cant be. Politico is reporting that Administration Officials were
caught off guard by the size of the sdrags and never even asked the president about attending. I saw a funny tweet, Mike Barnicle, that said the president was shocked and angry when he read about the newspaper that he wasnt there. I mean come on you cant blame the staff, the press in the United States. And, mika you dont why eric holder who was actually in paris didnt show up or the Vice President. Its not possible he was in the city of paris, no. This must be wrong. It can be. This is what you have you have Vice President s in a glass enclosure, hey joe, youve got to go to paris. Joe would of go to paris. Joe would have loved to have been in paris me would have love to have been there. Some suggesting willie geist, why the president didnt attend. Before i get to that youre talking about this byron york piece. The lead of that politico piece we just referenced has white house aides watching the march and seeing the leaders arm in arm going oh, no theres germany, theres spain, theres
great britain, theres netanyahu netanyahu, theres abbas, we probably should have went. Snuck up on them. Telegraph to germany and figure out. How do you not know that the worlds leaders are going to be at this event, mike . Wait. The explanation in some ways made it worse. This decision made it made it to the president of the United States. Hello. I mean come on. Was the president not following the news . Did he not know people got killed . But they also havent been able to account for what he was doing. What was he doing . Watching football i guess. Yeah, he was watching or the golden globe gls no stop. Thats not funny. He was watching the playoffs. No, he was not. Im not trying to be funny. Im not laughing. Im not trying to be funny. Its good youre not laughing. The white house is always like, we dont care about the thee atatrics of the office and you guys talk about the optics and all that stuff. Fine, whatever. They clearly do care enough that they admit fault. Can you imagine being stiffed
after 9 11 . Everybody showing up but a french president , what we would say . Eric holder was taping an interview for meet the press. Well, at least he came to nbc, right . Wow. Byron york writing in the washington examiner. See what you think about this. The uproar over whether president obama or another Top Administration official should have attended the massive unity rally in paris has obscured an important point about the white houses reaction to the late esther reporter attacks in europe. The administration noshows were not a failure of optics or a diplomatic misstep but were instead the logical result of the president s yearslong effort to downgrade the threat of terrorism and move on to other things. So when the president chose not to attend the paris march, nor to send the Vice President or security of state, the problem wasnt a tinear sense of pr it was obamas actual attitude toward the Terror Threat facing not only europe but the United States. Weve dealt with the big stuff, obama has declared now lets move on. It sounded good until the
bullets started flying. A lot of head shaking here. I dont buy that at all. No. Just from a brief, brief glimpse of knowledge of what goes on around National Security around the president of the United States, he is on it every single day. He is on what . He is all over this war on terror. Just count the number of drone strikes. I wonder if there was a security issue. He was wrong in 2001. Dead wrong in 2012. He said al qaeda was destroyed. Isis was a jv team. He said they were on the run. The last remnants. It sounded you can go back and look at what Donald Rumsfeld said about iraqs opposition being in the death throws over laid on what barack obama said. Weve yot gone robinson coming. He wrote a column saying that barack obama was finished and said it was everything except
the mishsion accomplished sign because we won and its time for us to go back and live our lives. This is the fantasy that barack obama lived in perhaps for political reasons in 2011 and 2012 because of ideological reasons because he wanted to show everybody how enlightened he was. And what cavemen george w. Bush and dick cheney were. And this does not fit his enlightened point of view. And so i think byron york is definitely on to something here. If you send somebody to what is now being called france 9 11 you are admitting that everything you said about al qaeda in 2011 and everything you said about al qaeda in 2012 when you were run for president and making fun of mitt romney was wrong. The french willie will say this was the worst attack by al
qaeda since september 11th. And i wonder just how bad Barack Obamas quotes from 2011 and 2012 would look juks ajeks posed over this newspaper. Some things soud stupid. Like Mission Accomplished. As stupid as what george w. Bush did on the carrier . Yeah. The jv quote. Im going to make an attempt to defend this. Put this in the context of what mike is talking about. By the way, on the jv team thing he still cant he still cant just admit that hes wrong. He said, oh, you can put kobe bryant jersey on a jv team. No isis is not a jv team. They hacked centcom yesterday. Which i still need to get to. Byron is suggest that he doesnt hes a tinear to
terrorism, i just on every other show we have on here weve lamented how much the Security State has expanded because of terrorism. Whether its doing these surveillance, the wiretaps, floor monitoring, the drones there are obviously policies that the president has put in place that show hes very much on top of it. Im just sort of oh we cant have it both ways. If youre president of the United States sam, al qaedas destroyed. Theyre on the run. Yes, hes rhetorically misstepped. This was clearly a pr disaster. Were talking about hes having a total tinear to terrorism doesnt make sense. Should i make defend this decision or move on to centcom . Just getting a s
