country in the 21st century. >> okay. senator, we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. again, thanks for watching us tonight. i'm bill o'reilly. please always remember that the spin stops right here. we're definitely lololololookinr you. breaking tonight, 90 minutes into a tenuous cease-fire in gaza peace was shattered once again as u.s. officials say hamas broke the truce killing more israelis before the ink was even dry on the truce deal. welcome to "the kelly file," i'm megyn kelly. tanks and air strikes pummel gaza between our ally, israel, and a group, hamas, we recognize as terrorists. the battle ramping back up hours ago after the cease-fire was violated by a surprise hamas terrorist attack. two israeli soldiers were killed and a 23-year-old second lieutenant is now missing. israel is investigating whether he was abducted or perhaps

worse. the attack in which he disappeared happened as hamas emerged from one of its infamous tunnels of terror. tonight, israel's military releasing this new video showing troops inside gaza discovering yet another tunnel, one of dozens used by hamas to stage cross-border attacks. hours ago president obama stepped up to the microphones in the white house briefing room. his intent was to make remarks on the economy. he was asked afterward by reporters to address the latest outbreak of hostilities. the president condemned hamas for breaking the cease-fire and defended israel's right to dismantle these tunnel networks. >> the israelis can dismantle these tunnel networks without going into major population centers in gaza. so i think the israelis are entirely right these tunnel networks need to be dismantled. there's a way of doing that

while still reducing the bloodshed. >> the president also on defense about his secretary of state. as john kerry's fourth attempt at negotiating a cease-fire has utterly collapsed. >> let me take this opportunity by the way to give secretary john kerry credit. he has been persistent. he has worked very hard. he has endured on many occasions really unfair criticism. when i see john kerry going out there and trying to broker a cease-fire, we should all be supporting him. >> reporters pushed the president on his own handling of this crisis. and so many others that are happening around the world. >> has the united states of america lost its influence in the world? have you lost yours? >> look, there's a common theme that folks bring up. apparently people have forgotten that america as the most powerful country on earth still

does not control everything around the world. >> moments ago i spoke with former israeli ambassador to the u.s. michael orrin. let's start with the israeli soldier who tonight is still missing and either captured or worse. there are reports tonight that hamas's military wing is claiming that he was killed. and they are claiming that he was killed as a result of an israeli bomb. do you care to comment on that? >> good evening, megyn. good to be with you. while listening to a spokesman from hamas is like listening to a spokesman from al qaeda. no great amount of credibility there. the fact of the matter is hamas violated the cease-fire well after the cease-fire was declared. and then a very senior member of hamas came out and said that the soldier had been taken hostage. now, after the world condemned hamas for cease-fire, hamas is trying to walk it back and say that the soldier was killed in some type

of israeli bombardment, which is totally absurd. >> and they're also saying that it happened prior to the cease-fire. they're also coming out tonight and saying that this all happened at 7:00 a.m. as opposed to later, which would have been an hour before the cease-fire's approached and 90 minutes after it. >> patently false. israel takes very -- it charts very closely all of its military activities including mm military activities, they know the exact time when this happened. it was well after the cease-fire was supposed to have been enforced. >> comment if you would on our president's comments today. because he condemned hamas for breaking the cease-fire. he defended our secretary of state for at least trying. and defended america's influence saying unlike other countries at least we try. we do try, ambassador, we don't always succeed. and i know there have been questions as to whether we should be taking different tactics. what are your thoughts? >> well, i think that the united states has tried and deserves

credit for trying. some of the ways the united states has tried in the last few weeks has not conformed to the interests of to israel. not just israel. there's been tensions between the egyptian government and the administration, the saudi government and the administration, even the palestinian authority. i think people are generally on a better page today, the same page. there's a general understanding that any cease-fire has to enable israel to continue to identify and locate the tunnels, destroy the tunnels. any cease-fire cannot create a situation in which hamas can declare victory. and hopefully the cease-fire will be the first step toward the demilitarization of the gaza strip. similar to the way that syria was deprived of its chemical weapons is a good precedent for this. this is the official position both the israeli government and the egyptian government would support it from some unlikely governments including the saudi

government in the gulf. >> viewers know this is what israel wants. they want the rockets to stop firing into their country, they want the tunnels to shut down which hamas uses to terrorize israel. and they want gaza to be demilitarized because that is the place from which the shelling starts into israel. and yet there's a real question tonight, ambassador, about what hopes at all are left for a cease-fire now. that this one which was so difficult to negotiate in the first place, it was a humanitarian cease-fire, was -- appears to have been violated 90 minutes into it by hamas. i mean, what incentive at this point does israel have to believe anything hamas's political wing has to say? the other thing we're hearing tonight is it's hamas's military wing saying we don't much care what the political wing agreed to. we didn't agree to that and wooe going to do what we want to do. >> they've violated several cease-fires including cease-fires that hamas itself requested. then they violated their own cease-fire. the issue is this, cease-fires are not ends in themselves.

cease-fires are -- humanitarian cease-fires will enable people to get food, especially the palestinian population, to go to the bank. but the idea is that this round of fighting has to put an end to this cycle in which the terrorists get rockets, they fire them at israeli civilians, they dig tunnels to attack israeli civilians. and when israel goes to defend itself, we have to fight an enemy like hamas that hides behind the civilian population, digs under them, fires from inside neighborhoods. israel's got to fire back to defend itself. palestinian casualties happen among the civilian population. the world comes down on israel, slaps a cease-fire down on israel. and then the terrorists use that cease-fire to get more rockets, bigger rockets and then to fire them again and cause even more damage. this is an opportunity to break that cycle. >> as you're speaking we're seeing, you know, these pictures of these palestinian children. and it is terrible. and i know you agree with that.

>> it's heart wrenching. >> to see children and babies bloodied and injured. and there's a question about -- i know this is a media strategy, i get it, that that is what hamas does and they want us to be putting these pictures on the air. this is how they win. but that doesn't change the fact of it that the children are there and they are hurt. and how long can israel continue this campaign in the face of these pictures and these facts? >> well, let me be totally clear about this. these pictures are a tragedy. and that's the pictures, the reality is a tragedy. the palestinian casualties in this war like the israeli casualties in this war are all victims of hamas. hamas started the war. hamas carried out the war. hamas fired rockets at israeli civilians from within civilian neighborhoods in the gaza strip so that israel would then retaliate and cause civilian casualties on the palestinian side. that's how they work. how does it end? if it ends with a decisive hamas

defeat when hamas can't replenish its rocket supply, then actually all will be saving palestinian lives because the next time this happens whether it's in a year or two years, it will be a much bigger war with bigger rockets, long-range rockets. hamas will be even more dug in and more people will die. it's difficult to internalize that. this suffering is not for not. this suffering will put an end to greater suffering in the long run. >> i want to ask you one final question which is how much credibility the american people should be giving to the united nations. because the secretary general ban ki-moon has been a bit more measured calling for israel to be more careful when it comes to the civilian casualties. but today we heard from one of the human rights u.n. officials, and that's a dicier group, which is repeatedly condemned israel over the year and only israel over the years. and this woman is now upset not just for israel but with the united states for providing money to israel for its iron

dome. let's just play the sound bite so viewers know why she's so upset with america. >> almost $1 billion in providing the iron dome to protect israelis from the rocket attacks. but no such protection has been provided to gazans against the shelling. >> your thoughts on that. >> total insanity. what she's saying is the united states should provide armaments to the terrorists. would she say the united states should provide armaments to isis, to al qaeda? this is the bottom line, megyn. the bottom line is tonight there are 90,000 israeli young people, men and women, fighting a desperate battle against a terrorist organization which is viciously racist, genocidal, really no different than isis or al qaeda. and they're fighting for israel's home.

israel about close to 100% of israelis are behind this action. they want to keep going and they know that we have no choice. and we're fighting a battle not just for israel. we're fighting a battle for civilization against these sources that want to destroy civilization. >> understood. >> and we're asking the world, give us a chance to win. >> ambassador michael o ren, thank you so much for your time, sir. >> great pleasure, megyn. thank you. coming up next, a must-see interview with the man who may know more about hamas than any guest we've spoken to before. the son of one of hamas' founders. tonight, his warning on why hamas' goal is not what you think it is. he joins us live right after the break. plus, new details about the two americans with ebola getting ready to come home. when they are expected back in the united states and how medical teams here are preparing. and new fireworks over the irs targeting scandal as a top congressman grills a legal expert about the need for a special prosecutor. and it gets ugly.

>> the president of the united states in the most widely viewed television show in our country said there's not a smidgen of corruption. you don't think that is the potential appearance of a conflict? we never thought we'd be farming wind out here. it's not just building jobs here, it's helping our community. siemens location here has just received a major order of wind turbines. it puts a huge smile on my face. cause i'm like, 'this is what we do.' the fact that iowa is leading the way in wind energy, i'm so proud, like, it's just amazing.

now what if i told youok a hotel you can save up to 60%,me first. but you couldn't know the name until after you book? did i say never? i didn't mean it. ♪ would you consider a 4-star hotel that's up to 60% off, you just can't know the name? just no name? until you book. um... yeah, i'd do that! ♪ john kerry invested an e r enormous amount of time. in the end it's up to the two parties to make a decision.

we can lead them to resolve some of the technical issues and to show them a path, but they've got to want it. >> that was president obama earlier today suggesting there's only so much america can do to broker a peace between israel and hamas. our next guest is the son of one of the founders of hamas and says a lasting peace will never be possible. his father, a leader of the terror group, was arrested earlier this summer in connection with the kidnapping and murder of three israeli teenagers. that crime is believed to have sparked the deadly conflict between israel and hamas nearly -- well, years ago. when the world began to see images like these emerge of the child victims in this fight, mosab felt compelled to speak out shedding light on hamas ideology. he's the son of the founder and author of "son of hamas." he's featured in the documentary

"the green prince." good to see you tonight. thank you so much for being here. let's start with this. why do you believe that a lasting peace is never going to happen? >> well, peace between israel and hamas is not going to happen. israel is democracy, hamas is an ideological organization. is there a possible for peace between israel and palestinians? that's possible, but not between israel and hamas. >> what your father co-founds what our state department says is a terror group, what you say is a terror group, how were you brought up in it? how did they begin to try to indoctrinate you? >> well, when i was a child, the first palestinian -- started. and we witnessed violence and many people were dying and we hated israel. then the second palestinian interfather came and the waves of suicide bombing attacks and

we blamed israel. and i used to think that israel is the enemy not knowing how my father and his organization was only a tool in the hands of some regional powers that they move hamas and encourage them to kill. and the fight against israel. for just political gain. and at some point i got really tired of this game. and they choose to different path for my life. >> when you see these images that we're seeing now, these palestinian children looking scared, hurt, confused, and i ask the current israeli ambassador to the united states last night on the program about the fear that israel in fighting this battle may be osteopathsto next generation of hate. do you see that as a real risk? how do we stop that from

happening? >> well, it's a risk. and i think there's going to be more generations to hate israel. and unfortunately israel has no choice but to defend itself. now, the only way, i believe, to fight an organization like hamas is to unmask them by exposing their ideology, what they stand for. hamas is not a political party. it's not even a palestinian organization. hamas hijacked what so-called the palestinian cause and infiltrated the society to push their religious ideological agendas. now, i would like to remind the palestinian people what hamas did to their rival party in gaza when hamas took over a few years ago. they killed the same way they're killing israeli soldiers today. hamas does not care for the lives of palestinians. don't think for a second,

please, that hamas cares for the children's blood. they want the children of gaza to die. this what gives them arab and islamic world sympathy. and this what will condemn israel internationally. this is their game and they're happy about it. >> when i hear you talking about them, and we've heard some of this before, i wonder how you think we, the united states and our president, are handling this. when you hear the president, he condemns hamas's tactics but also then has harsh words for israel on the civilian casualties. >> well, what i would like to see from the president of the united states of america not to be a mediator here in this situation. israel is a democracy. and since socrates and plato, do

not negotiate with terrorism. using force to push political and religious agendas, i think all democracies have to unify to fight this type of organization. if we fail in fighting hamas, tomorrow there will be 100 hamas. and they will take advantage of our division and disagreement. >> is there too much equivocating going on? is the president right to be calling out the civilian casualties? >> well, again, what i would like to see from the president of the supreme power in this world, not to take sides, not even to try to be balanced. he comes off balance and he tried to come as a med ta tor in this situation. he needs to standby israel not because israel stands for all the american values and free

world values alone, because hamas is the enemy of the united states of america. hamas is the enemy of the free world. and what israel is doing today in the region is fighting on behalf all the free people in this western civilization. >> mosab, you're a very brave young man. thank you very much for coming on. >> thank you. >> extraordinary. new questions tonight after a newly released audio recording of former president bill clinton reveals he claimed he could have killed osama bin laden but didn't. coming up, the man who led the hunt for ubl under president clinton tells us why he believes in fact this didn't happen. and the first time ever an and the first time ever an american hospital is about you .

with the deadly ebola virus who are getting ready to come back to the united states. dr. kent brantly is a family physician from texas. he was in africa working with an interfaith charity group when he contracted the virus. he was with fellow aid worker nancy writebol, she's a wife and mother of two. she'd been working at a liberia hospital as a hygienist before she contracted the virus. fox news senior correspondent john roberts just filed a report from atlanta where these two americans are expected to be treated. >> reporter: megyn, as early as tonight either dr. kent brantly or nurse nancy writebol will leave liberia headed back for the united states. they will travel aboard an air ambulance equipped with a special biomedical isolation chamber to keep the patient separated from the air crew. when they land at dobbins air force base northwest of atlanta, they will be transported in a similar isolation chamber to emory university hospital where they will be treated then in a special biocontainment unit

co-designed by the centers for disease control. dr. bruce ridner, who will lead the emory team, says they have the experience to safely handle the patients. >> the reason we are bringing these patients back to our facility is because we feel they deserve to have the highest level of care offered for their treatment. >> reporter: this will mark the first time that a patient with ebola has ever been on u.s. soil causing a fair amount of public concern. centers for disease control director tom friedman told me he understands people's fears but really couldn't have prevented this from happening. >> his organization -- and he, made the decision to come back for care here. they're american citizens. and as long as they can be treated in appropriate isolation without risking others, it would be i think really ethically problematic as well as legally problematic to keep them out. >> reporter: while the two patients may receive some experimental treatments, most of

what the emory team will offer is simply supportive care with nov vaccines or real treatment, the best the team can do is keep the patient alive until their body finally hopefully fights off theinfection. megyn. >> john roberts, thank you. coming up next, former president bill clinton facing criticism tonight after a new audiotape emerges of him saying he could have killed osama bin laden but did not. hours after he said that, terrorists hit the world trade center killing nearly 3,000 americans. up next, a man who once led the team trying to go after bin laden and why he says the truth is time and time again despite the pleadings of his team, president clinton found excuses not to act. plus, offensive e-mails from the woman at the heart of the irs targeting scandal filled with expletives about republicans sparking new calls for a special prosecutor. >> would you seat a juror who referred to your client as an obscene body part?

from the world headquarters of fox news, it's "the kelly file" with megyn kelly. new questions tonight about a just-released audiotape from president bill clin discussing how he could have killed osama bin laden but decided not to. the comments caught on tape in 2001 were made just hours before the september 11th attacks. >> he's a very smart guy. i spent a lot of time thinking about him. and i nearly got him once. i nearly got him. and i could have gotten -- i could have killed him, but i would have had to destroy a little town called kandahar in afghanistan and kill 300 innocent women and children. and then i would have been no better than him. and so i didn't do it. >> gary served as a cia chief of

station during the clinton administration. he was inside the spy agency's clandestine service under clinton. he was also behind the battle in tor ra bor ra where most his forces were destroyed before bin laden escaped. thank you so much for your time. your reaction to president clinton's comments? >> well, of course president clinton's comments are, you know, somewhere in a fantasy land. let me just say this. during that period of the 1990s in ctc, where i was, you had the chief of counterterrorism, the deputy and three major op groups. i ran the hezbollah shop and another man ran a group called regional terrorist branch. michael shoier and his people set up more than a half a dozen opportunities to kill bin laden or capture him. and bill clinton would never pull the trigger. clinton would never do it.

time and time again. and it was just disgraceful. >> so it wasn't just -- your point is it wasn't just this one time he's recalling where he says i didn't want to do it because i didn't want to take out civilians because that would have made me no better than him. it was many times. >> according to shoyer, no one would have been killed on that evening. according to him bin laden was in an isolated area of a hotel and could have been hit with a missile and killed without that. but clinton demonstrated cowardliness during his period of time. and i will add in 1996 we had cobart towers attack on the united states and we had 17 soldiers killed, over 400 injured. and the clinton administration did everything possible to suppress the knowledge that iran was involved in that. they did everything possible to hide the fact that iranians murdered americans because the administration was afraid to act against iran. only louis freh later made it public or the clintons would

have held that and suppressed that forever. >> this has been out for about a day or so, have said hindsight's 20/20. we didn't particularly understand the bin laden threat at the time bill clinton was making those decisions the way we do today. >> his supporters didn't understand it, but we understood it. and the clinton administration should have understood it. they're fools. >> you know, president bush takes heat as well because he was informed about the growing threat of al qaeda and bin laden and the risk of them using airplanes against us shortly before the 9/11 attacks. do you condemn him as well? >> without a doubt. look, the bush administration failed in the first nine months to even do a meeting with dick clark, who had been a very capable ct guy at the white house and did a lot of coordinating for us. i had a lot of respect for dick clark. dick clark wrote a couple good books. a real patriot. the fact is the bush administration missed it two in

the first nine months. once we had the attack, they stepped up. they made mistakes too. people make mistakes in war, but the bush administration failed also in its first months. >> you think the clinton mistakes though were ideological ideologically driven? explain that. >> no -- >> you're saying in the one case they were afraid, didn't want to take on iran. why didn't they go after bin laden? >> he just wouldn't take those types of risks. he ran for office saying it's the economy, stupid. that's what he was driven by, domestic politics. and in this sort of thing he just, you know, it was something happening far away. he hoped it wouldn't interfere with his domestic political agenda and that was it. it was something that got short slifed. we were taking huge risks in cia. we were working very, very hard to protect the country. we gave the country half a dozen opportunities to eliminate bin laden before 9/11. and because that president failed to act and the next president failed to recognize the problem, 3,000 americans

died in new york. and in washington and pennsylvania. >> gary, i want to stand you by because we have a defender of president clinton's. i want to get his thought. i don't want you to leave. >> bring him on. >> joining me now special council to president clinton. what do you make of what gary's saying? he's done a lot to help us out. you can hear he's displeased with both of the prior two presidents. >> well, i certainly honor his service. he omits facts and he engages in name calling and accuses people of bad motives. at least accuses both presidents. he's about the only perfect one that doesn't have the wisdom of hindsight, i guess. gary forgets to mention that the cia trained osama bin laden as part of the cia operation to stop the soviet invasion of afghanistan. he forgot to mention that fact. but the wisdom of hindsight allows me to say that. he also forgets to mention that the 9/11 commission discussed the kandahar situation and found

that in fact osama bin laden had already left. he forgot to mention the 9/11 commission finding. and finally, president clinton certainly did attack and try to kill osama bin laden and sent in i believe a cruise missile and just missed. he forgot to mention that. so when somebody who has his honorable service attacks people's motives and with the wisdom of hindsight gets personal about who presidents, i would suggest to him that he's dishonoring the great service that i do say that he gave to our country. great admiration for the cia. >> gary has a right to his opinion. >> no, i'm stating facts. >> but his credentials are -- >> but attacking people's motives. >> he's saying -- he's challenging the assertion by bill clinton that that was the time he had to get him and that the reason he didn't go in there was because he didn't want to hurt civilians. gary doesn't believe that. he said he believes there were half a dozen opportunities that bill clinton had to get bin laden that he did not seize upon perhaps because he just didn't

want to take that on. he was focused on the economy and didn't want to go after him. >> i gave you three facts that he omitted, so he was incomplete. i'm not attacking his motives. i honor his service to our country. have a great deal of admiration for the cia. they made a mistake and he's not going to disagree that the muja deen sent into afghanistan was one of them trained by cia was osama bin laden. but i wouldn't criticize the cia. at the time it looked like the right thing to do to get the soviets out of afghanistan. rather than saying he was motivated because it was the economy, stupid, and he didn't care. give him the benefit of the doubt that he probably was very regr regretful, he did try to kill osama bin laden and just missed him. gary didn't mention that. i'm pointing out the omissions. >> well, i mean, as i pointed out to gary, you know, bill clinton, none of us were looking at bin laden, at least none of

us outside the cia, gary had different information, were looking at bin laden back then the way we see him today. >> exactly. and i'm sure that president clinton regrets greatly not killing bin laden and certainly can you imagine how he felt? i hope that gary agrees that bill clinton probably felt awful the way the whole world -- >> the way george bush felt. >> of course. so it's one thing to say isn't it a shame that he didn't kill osama bin laden when he could? he'd agree with that. but then to attack him personally and say it has to do with politics and calling a man a coward who's the president of the united states and who exposes himself to assassination every day. this is something unbecoming of i'm sure what was a great career at the cia. >> lanny davis, thanks for coming on. >> okay. >> i want to get back to gary because i want your final word on that to see whether -- do we have him? let me just give you the final word on that, sir. >> sure. listen, i think lanny's a wonderful guy. i've met lanny davis. he may not recall that. but let me just say that the cia

never trained osama bin laden. he was a member of the services organization that served under abdullah, you had zawi and a fella by the name of mohamed zaiid. lanny doesn't know the specifics. he gave you a very general response. i know the specifics. i lived the and cia officers died out in the field as did u.s. military people because the failure of our leadership in the united states. both political parties are guilty of failing to protect the country at times. and i'm sure clinton feels very, very bad about this. but he performed badly. and during the clinton administration maybe lanny would like to explain why the national security advisor, sandy berger, went into the archives, started cutting things up and was fined $50,000 and lost security clearance for this. why hide what occurred in that administration in terms of

protecting us? i'd like to have that answer. >> well, we will leave that for another day. gary, thank you very much for being here. >> you're very welcome. we're taking your thoughts on that debate right now on twitter @megynkelly. still ahead, my appearance last night with funny man seth myers. and interrogating law professor over the irs scandal and the need for a special prosecutor. the heat on that is being turned up in the wake of these lois lerner e-mails. wait until you see what happens when the witness doesn't exactly answer his questions. >> would you seat a juror in a trial who referred to your client as an obscene body part? >> i really have trouble giving you an answer. ♪ don't miss a step...

>> i'm sorry -- >> would you seat a juror in a trial who referred to your client as an obscene body part? >> i really have trouble giving you an answer except that sounds -- >> well, then you would starve to death as a lawyer if you can't answer that question, professor. how about if you were a prosecutor? and one of the potential jurors referred to the police as terrorists who were going to bring the country down, would you seat that juror in a criminal prosecution if you were the prosecutor? >> i wish i saw the connection here. >> i'll give you the connection. lois lerner just referred to conservatives as an obscene body part and said we were crazies and likened us to terrorists. would you agree to let our fellow citizens decide whether or not there should be a special prosecutor? >> you mean by poll? >> however. we elect presidents that way. so you see no potential conflict of interest, you don't think this is an extraordinary fact

pattern and don't trust your fellow citizens to make the call? >> joining me now, fox news political analyst and usa today columnist. i mean, it's kind of an entertaining cross-examination with the nasally law professor and focused in like a laser prosecutor trey gowdy. but, you know, the point is can we trust ms. lerner and her testimony she gave prior to taking the fifth. we know she likes some faction of the republican party. >> yeah. well, i think that this definitely does not help lois lerner's case. there's no question about that. i have said that it's not surprising to me that somebody who works at the irs would feel this way about the far right because the far right wants to of course abolish the irs, right? and so i think if you look at the e-mails and look at it in that context, it probably would make sense. that said because we have all

these other facts, i think if you just took it in isolation, you could say that. but because we have all of these other facts, then i think it looks worse when you take all the other facts into consideration and that they're clearly the tea party was targeted. we know that. and clearly they were seen as being dangerous, right, megyn? >> uh-huh. >> that seems to be the case. >> yes. >> so it's not quite clear to me what was so confusing about this to the law professor. >> i know. it's like when they got you, they got you square like just admit it. just give the point to him. yes, probably she shouldn't have called them a holes. that's probably not going to play well with people believing she's going to play independent. >> exactly. even if you can make an argument -- and i did make this argument the other night, look, there are a lot of people, even republican members of congress who have referred to the tea party this way behind the scenes. >> right. it wasn't about all republicans. she was talking about talk radio if you refer to the e-mail.

>> yeah. talking about talk radio people. they have talked about them that way. but the question that this law professor was asked about, would you seat somebody, i mean, the answer's obvious. >> right. so who has credibility when you don't give them the easy ones. speaking of credibility, koskinen who also weighed in on special prosecutor and he said, i'm not sure people want a special prosecutor because that would shut everything down. the special prosecutor would have sole do main over this and you wouldn't be having all these hearings every week. suggesting they enjoy it. >> he's unbelievable. the arrogance is too much. i think that, look, are the republicans, is it good for them to beat up president obama in a hearing? yes. but to suggest there isn't a sincere concern about what's going on, that's absurd.

and it's something that i think and i've said this before that democrats should be concerned about. this isn't a partisan issue. it's a bipartisan issue ch. >> somehow it spun to a different place. good to see you. >> good to be here. up next, my appearance on seth myers last night and the dish i revealed about the big problem between my husband and me. >> he already wrote another novel called "ghost of manhattan" and there are a couple of racy scenes in there. >> got ya. >> so people will say like is this based on you guys. this the year you spend more quality time with your... dog. and this is the best time for big savings at bass pro shops' fall hunting classic. this weekend save up to an extra $100 on a new bow when you trade one in. plus free hunting seminars.
