spurious when writing to the factor again thank you for joining us, ms. megyn kelly is up next. i'm bill o'reilly, the spin stops here because we are definitely looking out. breaks tonight, ugly new fallout in the showdown between the white house and the israeli prime minister. and the stakes are very high. welcome to "the kelly file" everyone, i'm megyn kelly. today, it got personal and ugly. today, white house officials said the president unloaded on benjamin netanyahu after he agreed to speak about the move on iran a move made without anyone consulting them. the official said that "netanyahu spat in our face publicly and that is no way to behave."

adding there will be a price. trace gallagher has more. >> reporter: megyn the white house would have liked to have weighed in but then said it was john boehner who addresses congress. that is the on the record version, behind the scenes, the administration appears to be furious with a senior official quoting again netanyahu ought to remember that president obama has a year and a half left to his presidency and that there will be a price. president obama believes netanyahu speaking to congress could rally up a deal with iran. the president and prime minister have publicly clashed before, primarily over israeli settlements in the west bank. and it is also not the first time senior administration officials have issued anonymous and acrimonious statements even reportedly calling netanyahu a

quote, chicken the white house secretary of state kerry is also offended by the allegations. he is pushing a timeline regarding the palestinian state. and kerry says quote, playing politics with that relationship could blunt the secretary's enthusiasm. at least there will not be awkward appearances between netanyahu and obama because the president will not be meeting him apparently because it is too close to the israeli elections. >> and this administration goes to great lengths to ensure that we don't give even the appearance of interfering or attempting to influence the outcome of a democratically-held election in another country. >> although we should know back in 1996, president peres did meet with the president before

his election against benjamin netanyahu. >> trace thank you just before we came to air i spoke with the author of the book "things that matter" charles krauthammerer who says this is a critical moment between the united states and one of our best allies. charles, your take on what appears to be a growing escalation in the war of words between the white house and you the president's response regarding the invitation he received from john boehner. >> well what is astonishing is how personal and petulant is the administration's response. you know reducing this to a kind of schoolyard fight. what prompted this, i think, at least on the part of the speaker of the house inviting netanyahu, is the unprecedented thing that happened just days earlier even before the state of the union. when the prime minister of britain was here in the united states. and admitted openly to lobbying

senators on the nuclear issue. and he even admitted that it is unprecedented. so on the one hand you get the administration using foreign leaders to lobby congress. and on the other hand, you're saying that it is somehow ill illegitimate like a protocol to invite the prime minister. this is sort of an abstract issue down the road for the israelis, this is life and death. to openly declare their mission to eradicate israel, they write on their missiles," death to israel" and they are obviously developing a bond. so for the israelis this is a question of whether or not the 6 million jews will be wiped out. that is a very serious issue

that i think the prime minister has a write to speak out on. >> is it clear that the white house doesn't appear to like netanyahu and president obama and kerry. he better remember that barack obama has another year and a half left in office. but had the relations between the white house and israel been this tense in recent history? >> no i don't think so i think this president has less personal sympathy for israel than any president in the history. the near 70-year history of israel. and i think it shows. look at how he treated netanyahu early in the administration long before any of this. he had netanyahu leave the white house by a rear entrance the way that they have reacted whenever there has been some kind of argument over policy. they immediately had made it a

personal issue. and i think that -- when you allow that to intrude. remember, the mission that a president has is to defend and advance the national interests of the united states. and when it becomes a personal thing that gets in the way, israel is our strongest ally in the region, democratic and committed to the west. iran has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of americans in iraq and afghanistan. the state department itself said it is the largest, the biggest exporter of terrorism in the world. and obama treats their leadership with utmost respect and treats israel, our ally with none. >> in the meantime, iran as you write in your column this week is on the march. and this issue about which israel is so concerned and we say we are so concerned, is greater than just iranian and israeli relations.

iran is gaining power. >> well the story that goes mostly unwritten is that the ones who are the post apoplectic about the rise of iran as if it looks as if obama is ready to concede to them, are the gulf arabs. the israelis have no deterrent. the gulf arabs are very rich and extremely weak. they rely and have for two generations on the united states. they not only see obama essentially conceding the bomb to iran, which will make it dominant and hegemonic in the entire region. but they look around and they see iranian influence intruding itself in a whole hedge of states going from iran to the mediterranean. now, as of yesterday yemen to the south. if you look at the map you see

our friends, the gulf arabs and the jordananians, they are now surrounded by iran and the satellites. and they look at this and see the united states, this is in the arab view having abdicated and having withdrawn. and now ready to go all the way and to allow iran to go nuclear. >> more with charles in a moment. breaking tonight, disturbing news coming out of the nation that is home to one of al qaeda's most dangerous groups. we are getting word that the united states may have just suspended some if not all of its counterterror operations in the country of yemen. it was touted just recently by the president as an example of our counterterrorism strategy after these guys took over yesterday. okay, so they're now in charge.

we'll go to washington for the breaking details next. and again, charles will be back to weigh in on the major threat. and again, a new storm and the details on how bad it could get. plus, a symbol of our freedom set on fire at a school. we know you're going to love what happens next. the flag represents something a lot bigger than all the military services. we -- put the uniform on to protect it. and so you and i and the little kids in the school can have something better. ♪ bring your vision for the future to life. for more than 145 years, pacific life has been helping families achieve life-long financial security with innovative tools and strategies.

his successful counterterrorism strategy, reuters has reported that they have suspended some if not all of the counterterrorism element in yemen. this is after we learned yesterday that the government of yemen, the u.s.-friendly government of yemen had fallen and that rebels were in control of the capital. over the last 48 hours the department has suggested they know very little what is going on there today. >> the u.s. as of today continues to remain open and functioning in yemen. and the reason for that is that we have security experts on the ground in yemen who are regularly evaluating the security situation. >> we don't have a full picture right now of the political situation in yemen. nor are we in a position to predict exactly where it is going to go. >> clearly the situation is very fluid on the ground, but we'll be watching closely over the course of the next coming days.

>> live in washington, leland? >> well megyn kelly, yemen has never been a paragon of stability, but in the last few day days it has gone from stable to chaotic. the intelligence officials cooperating with the cia, these reports note that the folks we used to call may not be picking up the phone anymore. the pentagon admits they really don't have a clear picture of who if anyone is in charge. and for that matter the true intentions of the iranian-backed militia that appears to control the capital. so far the u.s. embassy which is like something of a compound and well-guarded for the is secure. as we speak, the uss iwo jima is positioned if needed. there are substantial forces ss the

area. last year alone the u.s. carried out 23 drone strikes against terrorist targets with the help of yemen security forces. and the obama administration considered its recently resigned president a key ally in the fight against terror. >> certainly a willing partner in yemen. as in many places around the world. it makes missions like that much more effective, there is no question about it. we have alson the ability to go around the world against terrorists unilaterally. and we will still retain that right, the ability. >> and this is where the geography is critical. the shores leading up to the

suez canal, yemen has proved very much worth fighting for. it could change not only the tactical map of the middle east but the strategic map, as well. >> leland thank you, well, as leland just reported it is not clear what these rebels actually want or what will happen next. but what we can tell you tonight, these guys are not fans of either israel or the united states. watch. so despite displays like that when the state department today was asked about the group now in control and the threat it poses jena psaki found a bright side. earlier, i asked charles krauthammerer about this exchange here. >> they do on occasion get a chant, death to america, that sort of thing it is not as if they have not expressed anti-american sentiment in the past. >> well, obviously as i

mentioned we continue to assess the needs every day regardless of what has been said. but it is important to note that this week they stated it was not their intention. >> so despite the chants, death to america, they didn't really mean it. that was just bluster. >> exactly, i would bet my house and family and future on those assurances. look, the detachment, the detachment from reality from this administration on the consequences of its policy of retreat is truly staggering. in the state-of-the-union address, the president said we are denying safe havens to terrorists. we are? we have the largest nation of terrorism in the history of the middle east with the islamic state. we have al qaeda in iraq and yemen, and now there is no government in yemen that is dedicated to helping us in fighting them. we have got -- of course in

pakistan and afghanistan on the borderland a huge safe haven libya now is completely anarctic, to the point where you have terror groups operating openly and independently. all of north africa. and the president actually imagines that we are shrinking the space in which terrorists are acting. and that is what worries you. when you hear the talk about yemen, they don't really mean it. we're still assessing the situation. the saudis live in the region the saudis are next door. they are scared to death because iran is surrounding them and they know exactly what is happening in yemen and they know who is behind the rebels. and that is why they are afraid. because not only are they dedicated to death to america and to israel, they also are dedicated to destroying the saudi regime and all of the pro-american regimes in the region. that is a problem. >> so these are the folks who are now running yemen but also

in yemen is one of our biggest enemies, al qaeda. and the question is who is minding the shop? because the white house, the state department the pentagon they all seem very caught off guard by the fact that the u.s. allied government in yemen collapsed and that we were going to have to suddenly evacuate people in the yemen embassy. and who is going to stop -- how strongly alive is this new death to america government and how effective will they be at stopping al qaeda, i realize they hate al qaeda too, but how effective will they be at stopping them because they kind of really want to bring death to america. i don't know, we're still assessing, we can't confirm. >> well, they were equally surprised when the islamic state, when isis rolled into iraq and took over a third of the country within a matter of weeks. including the second largest city. remember, obama had just said it was a jv team. >> it was a year ago this week

he said that. >> it is astonishing that a president would get that so wrong. but their perception is always, look, obama's idea is that the country went wrong by reacting over-strongly to 9/11 by being a bully, by opening up these prisons by guantanamo. and he would come in and he would -- he would allow the world to see a different america. and he put us openly and essentially deliberately into retreat thinking that is the way to rectify our relations. the results of that are obvious as they were in the '30s and as they always are. when you go into retreat. when you try to appease your enemies, the vacuum does not stay a vacuum. and into the vacuum comes the houthis, the iranians, and the arabian peninsula, and now isis in the heart of the middle east. and that is the result of his

policies. >> charles krauthammerer, great to see you, thank you for joining us. and dangerous weather is racing up the east coast right now with millions about to get snow, ice freezing rain or all three. a live report on what that means right after this break. and then, one of the possible republican candidates for president today made news with a bear knuckle his rivals. the man throwing the punches is here live. plus, breaking news from the cdc on a measles outbreak that is now spreading. started in disney. >> it is certainly possible that we could see more cases if there were unvaccinated individuals at disney land at the time of the initial exposure. every truck can tow a boat. every truck can climb a hill. every truck can haul a trailer. but not everyone can say they're the fastest-growing truck brand... in america.

right now the live weather radar showing the storm over the mid-atlantic and on the move. accuweather reporter with more. >> yeah, megyn that is right the storm will be crashing the mid-atlantic but will be a quick mover. the 12 to 24 hours of wind and snow that i think we'll recover from this weekend. it is in the short term we're concerned about heavier snow along the mason-dixon line, we'll see more snow as the storm system pulls away, a coating of two inches or so. the heavier snows will target harrisburg into the poconos, where we could be topping six, eight, ten, even 12 inches of snow. the northern fringe of the blue here, the precipitation shield not quite reaching the ground just yet. give it a few hours, the snow could be coming down in a heavy

clip. the storm could be increasing in intensity, with heavy snows along coastal new england, north of boston. this is where i'm concerned about, blizzard conditions blowing and drifting the snow around. and the potential six to 12 inches or so. >> certainly sounds like it justin, thank you. and breaking news cdc now investigating a multi-state measles outbreak and warning doctors to be aware. we understand the majority of the sick had not been vaccinated against measles, leading critics to wonder if the anti-vaccine idea is to blame. >> well, megyn, measles making a comeback in the united states, health officials say now parents can choose to be exempt from the rules that say kids must get the shots to be in school. for example now from the measles outbreak there are 51 confirmed cases in california,

arizona, utah washington, colorado and nebraska and one in new mexico. the vast majority of those who got sick had not gotten their mmr vaccine measles mumps and rubella. those who chose not to have their vaccines believed there was a link between autism and the vaccine. now, that theory has widely been discredited. but doctors say the scare has had a profound impact around the country, listen. >> unfortunately, now it's estimated that about one in ten people in some parts of this country do not have adequate immunity to measles. >> now, those who support a parent's right to decide what is best for their children say it is unfair to blame the unvaccinated children for the outbreak because some unvaccinated children got sick. doctors say the first shot is only 90% effective and kids over

four should get a second vaccine. authorizes say some kids from places that don't require the vaccine brought the disease and it spread from there. people who have not been vaccinated and went to california or disney should look for symptoms. disney is apparently a perfect place to spread the virus because it attracts all people of all ages because as "the new york times" said, it is a small world after all. >> we were at disney and me and my family were not affected at all. although my kids had their vaccines, there is a real concern if anyone should be. coming up is the nfl lying about cheating? this is going to be interesting because phil houston is here, a 25-year cia veteran, a human lie detector, who literally wrote the book on how to quote "spy the lie." wait until you hear what he says. plus one of the possible republican candidates for president today made news with

coming out saying you possibly pulled the pin on the gop response. >> well, i was just referring to the very serious national security issues, that it is important to have somebody with experience in those issues. i pointed out the fact there were not too many people out there contemplating running for president, that had that experience. and i think that we've seen from this president, the lack of experience and having a track record that people can look to and have a track record in those areas is very important. that is probably the number one priority of the president and certainly the area that he has the most purview when it comes to running our government. >> what do you say to somebody who says yes, somebody needs to have experience, but it needs to be governor. >> well, i don't know many as

governor that have that experience, i was on the major arms committee both dealing with syria and iran when i was in the united states senate. i think having had that track record and dealt with the issues for a long term, knowing how the military operates and understanding the foreign issues for a long time, particularly since 9/11 i think is a very important credential that people need to look at. >> i mentioned mike huckabee you and he may duke it out for evangelical issues, and even sarah palin came out and said yes, she is considering it. >> well, look, having been out here in iowa i'm in iowa today and traveled the country. i encourage everybody to run for president. i think it is one of the coolest things to do. it re-energized me and made me believe even more in the greatness of our country. i have been getting out and seeing voters who care very much about the country.

and make america strong again. it's good stuff. >> i know, i know but how do you know they will vote for you instead of governor mike huckabee? >> well, i just made one point earlier in the interview. and i think there are others. the fact is, we have had a very very strong record of going out there working for folks who have been left behind. i made that argument in 2012 talking about how we had to have blue collar voters on our team from all across ethnic and racial lines, but a pro-worker party. those are the folks suffering today. we need to help them and target our policies to make sure they have a chance at the american dream. >> you remember you won the caucus last time around first time they said mitt romney won, but you won. >> thank you megyn. >> all right joining us to

analyze how the gop field is shaping up, speech writing to george bush a fox news contributor and kirsten powers, a fox news contributor and columnist at usa today. mark, okay, so if some in the gop field think they need a governor and not a senator, what about senator santorum's point that not many governors have experience. >> first of all, i like rick santorum a lot and have a lot of respect for him. ronald reagan didn't serve on the armed services committee, he was a governor before he became the president of the united states. the job of the commander-in-chief is to be a decider. on top of that we need to realize something. the obama era, this may come as a surprise to some of your viewers, the obama era has been a golden age of conservative governance in america, not in washington but the states. since barack obama took office there are more republican

governors and more state legislators than any time since the 1820s, we went from when barack obama ran to 24 today. so what that means is, you have all of these republican governors out there while barack obama is discrediting big government in liberal washington, while they are getting things done, making things pass, the smart thing to do would to take one of the standard-bearers and make them a nomination. >> and mitt romney came out hobbled and damaged. already, the grenades are getting lobbed as governor mike huckabee points out. >> yes i think it depends on who emerges out of it. barack obama got pretty beaten up, as well, by having to duke it out with hillary clinton but it actually ended up helping him, making him a better general

election candidate. i think the problem here is that you're going to have so many people if all of these people actually run that you could end up -- it will depend on who the standard-bearer ends up being and who ends up winning, how they respond to it. >> what do you think of sarah palin, do you think she means what she says? >> i have no idea. i don't predict anymore. learned my lessons on that but look, i think it would be great for the field to have a woman in it. certainly right now we're looking at all of these men. so i do hope there will be -- >> that is one woman. >> yeah, just get -- it would be nice to have one -- >> really, gop, not one? mark, let me ask you this we have had like 70 of the gop candidates on the show this week. we pulled a couple potential candidates. we pulled a couple of highlights. you tell me your thoughts on who emerged the victor? >> oh, i'm sorry -- >> i'm waiting for my control

room to run the montage please, hello. >> the way you stop the school bully is you put your fist in his face and put his butt on the ground. >> in spite of this president, the people of america have gone out and worked through policies that he has put into place that have actually killed jobs kept things from happening. >> any time you have freedom loving people around the world who are under attack by radical islamic terrorists, it's a of us. >> with big government under the obama administration, the rich and powerful, those who walk the corridors of power in the obama administration have gotten fat and happy. >> i heard about a lot of free stuff but i didn't hear much about how he is going to pay for it. so you have to wonder about the guy's sincerity. >> mark? >> i think almost any one of them, almost anyone of them would be better than hillary clinton as president. >> all right but stick to the gop. we know you feel that way. >> but my case is looking at

those candidates i think a governor -- there are three governors in that mix, a governor would be better for a very important reason. is that we're going -- assuming we run against hillary clinton, which is going to be the democratic nominee the way to beat hillary clinton is to paint her as a creature of washington she came there in 1992 and never left. first lady, senator secretary of state. you want to pick an outsider a reformer who is going to come in. washington has never been less popular than it is today. you want to pick an outsider to take her on as a candidate of washington. i think the people who are there, the governors are the best candidates to do it. >> kirsten, charles krauthammerer put his biggest bet on marco rubio, and steve hayes as well, saying he is young, fresh faced. and if they put him up against hillary clinton who is older, been around washington for longer it would be a beneficial contrast to the gop what are your thoughts?

>> well that is certainly something i heard from from a lot of republicans and democrats also who worked with senator rubio. he is very impressive and could be unestimateder estimated because of his youth. >> what do you make of governor walker? >> again, i think he is somebody who is very popular among republicans. you know, i don't know at this point that he is necessarily popping out of the field. but it's so early, you know, i think we would have to sort of see how in the people that you just showed, in my opinion rand paul is the one that is probably the most interesting, you know, because i think as much as he is to mark's point about the outsider, as much as he is in washington he still plays that outsider role, and i think that is something that is appealing to people. >> starting to happen something to watch. thank you to both of you. heartbreak for a war veteran

in iraq and afghanistan a flag he donated to a school is torched. but wait until you see what he does in response. and up next phil houston, a polygraph examiner, and author of the book. >> is tom brady a cheater? >> i don't believe so. i mean i feel like i have always played within the rules and would never do anything to break the rules.

. developing tonight, the nfl breaking its silence, say it has not yet come to a conclusion on reports that the new england patriots cheated by using under-inflated footballs in their game. that put them at issue on whether or not quarterback tom brady and bill belichick were truthful when they said they didn't know anything about this problem. we actually had the number one expert on truth-telling phil houston is an expert on deception detection. he is also the author of "get the truth." phil, good to see you tonight. we thought this would be a fun segment. everybody is talking about this. and people want to know whether brady and belichick were telling the truth yesterday when they offered their denials.

let's first look at the coach and what he had to say. >> i have no explanation for what happened. i don't have an explanation for what happened. i don't have an explanation. i don't have an explanation for what happened. >> so he doesn't have an explanation, do you read that as truthful or not? >> no not at all, megyn. when we saw his series of answers to some very critical questions with this sort of single explanation, if you will, it reminded us of when people are in the legal system and they're being questioned about an act of wrongdoing, and they continuously invoke the fifth amendment, if you will. it is their way of impeding the process, of inhibiting the ability to find out the truth. >> what about this because tom brady was asked about comments he made back in 2011, saying he liked the footballs when they were deflated.

and then yesterday he told a bit of a different story. listen to the two sound bites. >> the integrity of the game that is a very important issue to be always mindful as an athlete in fair play. and i think we set a great example. >> what is the biggest problem -- >> just the integrity of the game. i think that is a very important issue to always be mindful as an athlete. and fair play and i think we set a great example. >> so obviously, the wrong sound bite, bear with me viewers but obviously he is talking about the integrity of the game. i mean that seems sincere right? >> he is trying to convince us that he is concerned about the integrity of the game megyn. but in fact he provided a lot of convincing behaveior but he is not providing a lot of critical information to the questions that were being asked yesterday. >> all right let's jump to a different one. this is the one we played in a tease. they asked him if he was a

cheater. i mean that seems pretty straightforward. that is the question, here is his answer. >> can you answer right now, is tom brady a cheater? >> i don't believe so, i mean, i feel like i have always played within the rules i would never do anything to break the rules. >> i don't believe so. >> megyn. we see three things right off the bat in response to this. first of all tom laughs in response to this question. now, if you think about it that is a very serious question posed in a very serious situation. it's not a laughing matter. the behaviorists refer to that behavior as duping delight. it is almost as if the person is trying to get the questioner to back off, as if they have asked a silly question. the second thing we saw was a qualified response, are you a cheater? i don't believe so. that is a binary -- calls for a binary answer, yes or no. and then finally we see more

evidence of this convincing behavior that i alluded to a momentarily when he says i wouldn't do anything. that is very different. i wouldn't do it versus i didn't do it. one, is a denial. i didn't. i wouldn't is trying to convince us of something. >> it is very clear when somebody says, are you a cheater, if you didn't cheat, you say no, i'm not a cheater and you really don't need to expand this much. let's see if we can do it with the control room. back in 2011 he said he liked the under-inflated footballs then he changed the answer yesterday. >> when ground scores, he spikes the ball and deflates the ball, which i love that, i like a deflated ball. but i feel bad for that football. >> i obviously read that i said that. you know i like them at the way that i like them. which is at 12.5. i mean, to me that is a perfect grip for the football. like i said i didn't feel any difference between what was 13-pound football or 11-pound

football the other night. >> your thoughts on that. >> well we see here megyn, a series of inconsistent statements. very consistent with deceptive behavior. the reason people make these inconsistent statements, again they're focused on this convincing. and they're more worried about what sounds good at the given moment. what they're not focused on is it consistent with what they have said before or with the story that they have provided. and you saw this throughout on this issue of whether you know, how he feels about the football so to speak. the football, so to speak. and even change within the scope of the press conference. he said at one point i always preferred it 12.5 and then later in the press conference says i couldn't tell the difference between 11 and 13. all very deceptive. >> fascinating. bet you thought you'd never be analyzing stuff like this when

you were interrogating terrorists. >> appreciate it megyn. great to be on. ahead, how the test test. test test. test test. test test.

it back do half staff. here's sergeant daniels. >> even though it looks like this, it still means a lot to me. i love this country and what it stands for. i know everybody has their views, but i think everybody can have something that they can look proud at. and i take pride in the flag. >> reporter: as you might imagine sergeant daniels then got the school a brand new flag that is still flying. police still have no suspect in the flag burning. megyn. >> we take pride in you, sergeant no pictures of trucks pulling boats. no photos of men working on ranches. just a ram 1500 ecodiesel that gets 156 more miles per tank than the ford f-150 ecoboost.
