hacked sony e-mails cracked jokes about race about the president. plus law students at ivy leagual schools say they're too upset from protesting to study, so they want their final exams delayed. all that and more tonight on huckabee. and welcome to huckabee. al about the only thing worse than when a loser acts like a winner is when a winner acting like a loser. go to washington to see a real

3-d picture. president obama gets whacked in the midterm elections and then he comes out pretending that people just love his policies and they forgot to go vote so he's going to continue to hear all those 71d5ñnonvoters whispe sweet nothings in his ear. and then there's the republicans who begged to be in power in house and senate so they could stand up to the run away executive branch so they -- the republicans promise that if elected they would end this constitution killing power grab and they would bring adult leadership and provide the prescribed check and balance function that congress ask supposed to have and use. but what have the republicans done instead? hastily cobble together a $1 trillion spending bill that makes the national christmas tree look likeá5 the tree frome charlie brown christmas. loaded with a bunch of federal lard and then pushed on to

members' desks before they could possibly4, have read the 1,600 page spendapalooza, it was a month that -- -- it certainly doesn't create jobs and secure people this their homes or help them start a business. and conservatives hated it because it was packed with more spending calories than the triple bacon cheeseburger from hard dees, we were told that this was the best we could hope for. maybe it was. but why did the best we could hope for end up getting burped out on the house floor just hours before the deadline to vote? the whining of the speaker was that if the house didn't pass the bill right then, they might not get home before christmas. well, pardon me, but i won't moisten so much as a single klenex if congress has to work

an extra week or two to get their job done. isn't that what they're being paid for? the leadership acts like a bunch of college students who party all semester and then complain about pulling an all fighter the week of finals. well, tough, you guys asked for the job, now for god's sake do it. you weren't sent toj/ring your hands and sa really hard and then give away the last piece of candy just so that you can go home and trim your christmas tree and sip eggnog around the fire. millions of americans don't have jobs, millions more barely have jobs that pay enough to eke out a christmas chicken. and congress and the president wait until the last possible moment to try and pass a budgets that will set the priorities for spending our money and then they congratulate themselves for hurriedly -- so if members of congress have to work christmas to get their jobs done, so be

it. we have people in uniforms serving all over the globe, they're going to miss christmas at home and they aren't being paid near what the president and congress are making. if i shed tears for people working over the holidays, it's going to be for the sailors, soldiers, airmen, marinesy2t÷ a the coast guard personnel that have my sympathy. for the president and the members of congress, how about a bag of switches and a lump of coal. the other big story coming out of washington this week was the senate's scathing report of the cia's bush era enhanced interrogation techniques, it was a report that cost taxpayers $40 million. but for $40 million, you kind of think democrats could at least have pretended to search for the truth. was senator feinstein picked because the cia spied on her e-mails? you can't blame her for that.

but were she and her colleagues trying to take focus away from the hearing when the mit professor was explaining why he was calling americans stupid. or do democrats have a really bad case of amnesia that after 9/11 even democrats were fearful that another major terror attack was imminent and the career from republicans and democrats alike was to do whatever it took to prevent another one. we have highly paid men and women in the intelligence community who risk their lives daily to keep americans safe. they put their lives and those of their family in danger if they're ever found out. they operate under orders from the president and their;ve@ superiors. sure, they're far from perfect, but they deserve our respect. what makes our country different than those who criticize us is that we do investigate our own practices and we question power and we hold people accountable.

we don't cut the heads off of children because they're christian, we don't fly civilian airplanes into buildings, we don't blow up hotels and coffee shops just to make a point. we don't kidnap dozens of little girls and rape and kill them. to raise questions about our interrogation methods is the duty of congress, but to again grate the integrity and service of those who keep people save, well that's -- june ewe -- co-wrote the memos that said enhanced interrogation techni e techniques were legal. professor, great to have you back on the show and thank you for being here today. to be with you again. >> this is a scathing report that came out the from the senate, primarily a very partisan report. what do you feel like the effect

will be within the intelligence community? >> i couldn't agree more with what you said just a moment ago. we were at the time this happened, we were on the map,ea we had just suffered a terrorist attack that killed 3,000 of our citizens, mostly civilians, hit major targets in new york and washington, d.c. and we knew very little about al qaeda at that time. we probably knew more about north korea than we did about al qaeda then, and the president then and the congress were unified. we were all united demanding that the cia go on the offensive. we asked brave men and women to go out there and risk their lives to fake the fight to al qaeda. and now what bothers me, is after we do this, and let -- no said the united states will go without another massive terrorist attack for 13 years. no matter thatjp record of success. now we have democrats in the

senate led by senator feinstein who conducted a partisan investigation with no republicans and in fact they're interviewing no witnesses. that's incredible. no witnessesóere interviewed.g this report as you say attacks those men and women, 13 years after the fact. and what they have to do is say it didn't work because they can't quarrel with the reputation of success that our cia agents were able to achieve. >> were you ever accepted by this community because you were very much a part of the discussion of the legality of what was being done. it would be pretty obvious that you would be one of the witnesses called, were you? >> i have conducted investigations, we always do it always bipartisan and we always interview witnesses. i was never called. i would have happily have testified to the committee about my role and the role of others and this committee did it because they wanted to cherry pick through the evidence and build a case.

it's as if we had gone to trial, if you had gone to trial and the judges said only the prosecution gets to present it's side. the do defense r r can't show up. >> there was a lot of this going on inside the justice department along with the cia and the intel community. the fact that you guys were talking about this indicates that there were questions raised, there was a concern. what was the resolve that you were able to come to? because, again, you were working under pressure, people were saying don't let this happen again. none of us knew when the next one was going to take place. so give us a little insight into behind the scenes, what was going on and the fact that there was intense negotiation discussion takingyy3 place. >> first let me say it's a great question and let me say, it was terrible. it was terrible that our country ever had to think about his issues. i wish iít> never had to, i wi

our country never had to. but it wasn't our choice this was a decision that was thrust upon us by an enemy, a vicious enemy that as you point out are taking american hostages and beheading them on videos for sport. these are the kind of people we're fighting. they launch a surprise attack on civilians. as you said, we didn't know when the next attack was going to happen, so there was a demand information, and information it didn't take years to gather. we needed to get information as quickly as possible. but we knew that using regular law enforcement questioning wasn't going to work, it wasn't working and so unfortunately, we had to ask what can we do to try to get the information quickly when it's of use to our men and women in the cia? so we had to take into account laws that prohibited torture, but we didn't want to torture anyone, but we wanted to ask, what can we do that would come

farther than what the police can do on the street or in the police station, but don't cross the line into torture, which was prohibited by congress in which a president, president bush had no desire to go towards. >> professor, always a pleasure to visit with you, thank you for visiting withtz4z today. >> our next guest has rounded up terrorists who promised him they would get back out and kill more americans. former cia operative garypé bernstein is with us next, stay with us. burnsten is next. burnsten is next. stststststst it's time to drop your pants for underwarness. burnsten is next. stststststst a cause to support the over 65 million people who may need the trusted protection of depend underwear. show them they're not alone. and show off a pair of depend. get a free sample at underwareness.com celebrate what's new, the bigger, better menu at red lobster! with more of what you love! try our newest wood-grilled combination!

recruit good people in and even more importantly, it's going to be hard to convince foreign agents around the world to work with us and assist us when they see these types of things made public. >> this nonsense the u.n. is putting out there about prosecuting for war crimes because they interrogated somebody, nobody was killed. i'm just appall did that. is there really, gary, an honest possibility that the u.n. would do something like this and the court and the hague would indict president bush, dick cheney, secretary rumsfeld and specifically cia agents including one gary bernstein who could be on that list. >> i believe it's likely that the icc, the hyzs international criminal court at the hague will use elements of this senate report to do indictments against individuals and anyone who's been published or identified in this report is likely to be indicted.

if that happens, we should never let another taxpayer dime ever go to the u.n., ever go to the icc. it would be a slap in the face of america and of every american who served to try to prevent trimt. >> we're not signatories to the icc but 120 countries are, so any american who's indicted by the icc, if you travel as a signatory, you can be expedited over to the hague. >> let's talk about enhanced interrogation techniques because there are learns like john mccain who6émñ say they don't w. you were involved in these enhanced intergacey sec neeks. >> i worked with a lot of foreign intelligence services that use coercive methods successfully and i have seen countries that we worked against use them successfully against

us, all of these statements about eit techniquings and i understand their reasoning that they may not want them but the argument that they don't work is spurious. >> i don't think anyone would support true torture, but most people at the eit say that this is not torture. i think a lot of americans are confused. is this torture or is it not? torture. you don't want to take it to the point where you do permanent damage to people. but these are terrorists who had information on imminent catastrophic attacks on the united states. and we should use eits only on those individual who is will threaten an attack on new york or washington that would kill tens of thousands of people. >> the classic example of the

all i can think about how i wish he was still here. >> this is a fox news alert there's a hostage situation in australia. we join you live in canberra. >> we have to appreciate even in a society such as ours there are people who would wish to do us harm. that's why we have police and security organizations of the utmost professionalism that are ready and able to respond to a whole range of situations and contingencies including the situation that we are now seeing in sydney. the whole point of the politically motivated violence is to scare people out of being

themselves. australia is a peaceful, open and generous society. nothing should ever change that. that's why i would urge all australians today to go about their business as usual. of course if any one does have any suspicions of untoward activity there is the national which i would urge them to call. national security committee of the cabinet has been placbraced this incident. i am in regular contact with premiere over the course of the last couple of hours the commissioner of the police and by commissioner of the

australian federal police. this is an unfolding situation, and as the situation d6 funfol there will be operational updates by the police. i want to assure people the ordinary business of government must go on. it will go geh:on. that's why hockey and finance minister will be shortly releasing the fiscal outlook as planned. finally, this is a disturbing incident. i understand the concerns and anxieties of australian people at a time like this. but our thoughts and prayers must above all go out to the this i can think of almost nothing more distressing, more terrifying that n to be caught hearts go out to those people.

i am going to leaf this to the police who are in operational charge of this incident to involve those kinds of situation. in a situation like this all sorts of reports fly around all sorts of claims are made. i do urge everyone to exercise caution in their reporting but i will leave all of the operational dexayjs to the police who as i understand ithó will begin providing operational updates shortly. >> all right. so we have just been hearing from australia's prime minister tony abbott speaking about the ongoing situation that is

occurring. right now we know 20 hostages are believed to be being held in the city at this hour possibly by terrorists at this time and taking place at the cafe only one confirmed armed suspect in the cafe. australian police and military forces have been on the scene. police have been careful not to call this a hostage incident. it is an armed incident. he spoke and said australia is a peaceful country and he urges australians to continue going about their business today but jdtq p!out the situation. he made the point that politically motivated activity like this is to scare people out of themselves. he wanted to make the point that he was working with the appropriate agency at that time that the national security cabinet has been briefed on the situation and updates will be coming out as they become

the consulate has been evacuated that is the consulate in sydney, australia. let's take a look at what is being recorded on sky news. >> home grown terrorists being described as. they are unsophisticated in nature the attacks that they launch, but they are nonetheless very frightening. it is very hard to guard gengs these lone wolves because there isn't the same level of planning that you would get for instance with the al qaeda terrorism that we know which was a bit more sophisticated in nature when large groups were often involved communicating with each other via e-mail. if you have individual acts like

this incident appears is much more difficult to guard against. if the next day they go off and do something. they are in london with the death of lee rigby and falsifies him the week before hand. bought knives from a local shop and tattack the very next day. tony abbott is confident and wants to leave it to the police and security services to deal with this incident. the first priority of course is to secure the safety of those still inside this. >> okay. so what we have been listening to is sky news on this breaking news situation in sydney, australia. this is a possible hostage

situation. they are not calling it at this point. the prime minister has just spoken. we will be bringing you updates as they become available. this has been a fox news alert. i am lia gabriel in new york now back to the regularly scheduled program. >> it took just 77 minutes to change the course of our nation forever. the today department 11th, 2001. nearly 3,000 innocent people murdered at the hands of terrorists. in the years that followed our ñ agencies embarked on a global campaign to keep america safe. this week they came under fire for how they did it. that is where we begin the holiday special on the cia report. i am megyn kelly. we take a hard look at the report produced by democrats that divided the country and endangered american service personnel
