e all over it. >> enough with the abuse. >> spring tonight officially starts at 6:45 p.m. eastern time. >> we're thinking spring today. >> that's an eclipse and it's snowing. >> thanks for tuning in. remember to be yourself and stay within yourself. >> such wisdom, young man. >> thank you. >> thank you guys. let's start with the fox news alert because it has happened yet again. homicide bombers attacking a pair of mosques in the country of yemen. at least 46 dead. 100 seriously injured. some of the first pictures we're seeing now. those mosques filled with people on friday afternoon for prayers. yemen's been rocked by recent turmoil with iranian-backed rebels seizing much of the country. more on that inside of america's news network today. also, new details on the nuclear negotiations ongoing with iran. the talks said to be stalling over the issue of sanctions. this is president obama makes a plea directly to the people of iran. good morning, everybody, time's are ticking on that.

welcome in. >> good morning, everybody. "the wall street journal" reporting that iranian negotiators are now demanding that the sanctions need to be lifted immediately they say. something they say the united states and other world powers reportedly will not agree to do as far as we know but president obama reaching out to the people of iran pleading for a deal. >> for decades our nations have been separated by mistrust and fear. now it is early spring. we have a chance. a chance to make progress that will benefit our countries and the world for many years to come. >> peter, why did president obama decide to make this youtube video? >> martha, it starts out as a message which the iranian people know well as they celebrate the persian new year but then he talks about the nuclear negotiations and when he does the tone is very positive with some compliments about the commitment of iran's leaders

sprinkled in. >> iran's spring leader ayatollah khomeini has issued a fatah against nuclear weapons. >> the president wants young iranians to see the video to lean on their leaders and get them to agree to a deal and he rattles off some different ways their lives would be better if the deal gets done. more opportunities. more culture, more access to technology, that's what the video is ultimately about and it's basically the opposite of the last message that tehran got from washington which was, of course, that letter fired off by 47 republican senators who were very concerned. >> what a fascinating debate. how are the negotiations with iranian going at this point? do we know? >> there's a major disagreement, martha, that could kill the entire agreement and it's all about timing. the iranians want all sanctions limited right away as soon as both sides shake hands. but the u.s. and european diplomats hammering out the details say iran needs to show

them something before all the sanctions go away and prove that they're actually going to roll back their nuclear program. >> some constraints are -- would be removed after a significant period of time. others would remain in effect even longer and some would last indefinitely including a stringent and intrusive monitoring and inspections regime. >> we've been talking about what may or may not be in a deal for months but the deadline is coming up and the framework is due 11 days from now, march 31st. >> we will see. we will see. a lot at stake here. peter thank you very much. meanwhile the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu extending an olive branch to the white house after vowing in the final days of his election, hess campaign, that he would never allow a palestinian state. netanyahu telling megan last night he's still willing to negotiate so long as israel is secure. >> i didn't retract any of the things that i said in my speech six years ago calling for a solution in which a demill

tarized palestinian state recognizes a jewish state. i said the conditions for that today are not achievable for a simple reason the leader of the palestinians rejects consistently the acceptance of a jewish state. he's made a pact with the palestinian terrorist organization hamas that calls for our destruction. so the conditions are that we would vacate territory instead of getting a two-state solution we could end up with a no-state solution. >> apparently the white house is not buying that. byron york chief political correspondent for the "washington examiner" fox news contributor. >> good morning bill. >> you said they had a phone conversation last night. how bruised is this relationship, byron? >> boy, it does not sound good. it sounds like president obama is still quite angry with prime minister netanyahu. does not accept netanyahu's walk-back of this rejection of the two-state solution. we should say that netanyahu's defenders say he actually didn't reject the two-state solution just said that under current conditions it's just not possible right now.

but sounds like the president is still angry about that. also still angry about this netanyahu last-minute appeal saying that arab voters were going to the polls in droves and his voters had to get out. i think a lot of people in the white house felt that was an appeal to bigotry and president obama is angry about that, too. >> what did you think of the tone that the white house briefing yelled? how did you -- how would you characterize that? >> i think it was really devastating for the u.s. relationship with israel. and there was an undertone of threat to everything that the white house spokesman said. he said in light of the events the president is reassessing his options concerning israel and he also said that in the past, the united states has also -- i think this is a quote -- protected israel from isolation in theent national community and suggested the united states might no longer do that. remember there are times in the u.n. when some nations want to

recognize palestine as a state. there are states that want to take israel to the international criminal court for war crimes. in those situations the united states has always protected israel and i think you got yesterday from josh ernest a threat that might no longer be the case. >> the significance of that is, that's profound. >> oh, it's absolutely huge. remember, we were just talking about the iran situation. and that the president chose to go through the united nations over the wishes of israel. i mean, this would just be one other way in which the president could use, if he so chose, could use international bodies to really -- really go against everything that benjamin netanyahu stands for. >> did you see a way for -- quickly. do you see a way for this relationship to be repaired? if you described the president as being angry. what solves that? >> well, they really need a reset here. i think basically what you have to do is cool down from events over the last few days. the president's going to have to recognize that benjamin netanyahu won and he won

decisively in their system and, you know, the united states is just going to have to deal with that. netanyahu, of course, always has to remember the dealings between the u.s. and israel, a senior partner and a junior partner. netanyahu will always have to realize he is the junior partner in this relationship. >> thank you, byron, byron york from "the washington examiner." >> thank you. >> they've got some time together still. to see how it goes. >> two more years to duke it out the way they're doing it right now, so we'll see what comes of it. lots more to come on that. in the meantime, happy spring, everybody. happy, happy first day of spring. but don't put away your snow shovel quite yet. a little bit more snow sweeping across big parts of the country just in time for the first day of spring. the vernal equinox did we decide? is that what today is? is expected to dump as much as 8 inches on parts of the northeast. this is the scene in maryland just outside of washington where it's usually about 50 degrees on the first day of spring.

somewhere in that territory i would say. it's beautiful. if it were january or february. but, um, yeah. hopefully this is the last blast, bill. >> what did i tell you yesterday, i put out my winter coat and i'm not getting it out. >> you'll bee chilly on your way home from work, my friend. >> i violated my pledge last night. too cold out. my, my my. eight minutes past the hour. day one of the ncaa tournament's in the books and we have some upsets. a pair of 14 seeds sending some power conference teams home. including the university of alabama at birmingham shocking iowa state by a final 60-59. close one. good game there. baylor upset by georgia state out of atlanta. 57-56. game-winning three right there. came from the coach's son. here it is, the coach on the sidelines. losing his balance. that's ron hunter and down goes frazier. after his own son r.j. hit the

horrific attacks that happened in tunis. isis has taken responsibility. when this was happening we said it had all the hall marks of that group and we are learning the terrorists were screaming something inside that museum that proves they were clearly targeting westerners. law makers are asking when the united states will get involved in the fight and how. >> how many more countries are going to have to fall to isis terrorist attacks and when is it god forbid, to come to the united states, go to europe other places? >> congressman adam kinzinger joins us next. that plus this -- >> i go to uva. i go to uva.

you this is graphic. the first pictures of what we are seeing in that museum. a massacre. the gunman snowght -- shouting in arabic for all muslims to lower their head. a signal they were targeting westerners. the eyewitnesses said they were shouting "lower your head." that was a clear sign of what they were after. >> they were targeting westerners. this is more than trying to destabilize tunisia. they have had successful transfers of power in the democracy that's being built up. we were shocked to find isis was

developing and establishing itself in libya now we find out tunisia. what's next? morocco? it's essential today that we say we stop the movement of isis in tunisia. we work the tunisian government that's our friend and we destroy them where they exist. bill: where does it stop? apparently they were trained in a jihadist camp in libya to the east. you have 3,000 tunisians who joined the fight in libya. >> it doesn't stop. we would like to think it will burn itself out. it's not going to happen that it will burn itself out. these guys are true believers in a caliphate and it will take blunt force to stop them. the united states is the only

country with the capability to unite our allies to do that. we can sit back and pretend this will burn itself out but it's not. bill: what will it take to make that happen? >> the intelligence community working hard. even with the egyptian government to root out terrorism in sinai and libya. that's just the outer extremes of where this is growing. we still have iraq to deal with. working with the iraqi government to defeat isis working with the kurd to defeat isis. giving them what they need and embedding american forces in with these front line units to call direct air support on these units where they exist. syria is such a bad situation bashar al-assad is the incubator of isis. that's going to be a few years

in the making. it's important for the president to give an address from the oval office. not a podium at the white house the oval office and say how important this fight is and how he's going to unite the world against isis. i think that would do a lot to boost our allies. bill: do you think that will happen? >> no. this will continue to snowball into something bigger. bill: there is a group associated with al qaeda. apparently they posted this online with regard to the attack on the museum. celebrating the sharp collapse of the tunisian markets after a simple operation only go only two individuals. this is their statement now. it continues. what do you think would happen if an organized attack happened simultaneously on several military vital and tourist

targets? these attacks were easy. >> in our own peril do we ignore those warnings. when a terrorist attack happens we find there were and cases on twitter that it was going to happen. we have twitter and facebook and all the media things. we have to fight with all the 21st century tactics they are using. they are recruiting out of tunisia instead of into tunisia. bill: they were an example of democracy in that region. martha: here is another story for you today. as a media firestorm grows over the arrest of a student. has the coverage gone too far?

>> at no time during the encounter did he present a fake i.d. >> it's important that we get the facts out and understand what happened. i think the governor has done a good job calling for the state police to do an independent investigation. >> reporter: howard kurtz went down to the campus to speak to people about what happened. what did you learn? >> very different views of this incident. it seem like on the surface this could be a mini ferguson almost. and i talked to black student who were angry and upset about what happened to martese johnson who is an honor student but was busted outside a bar with a suspect i.d. at the same time i talked to white students who are getting tired of the national media descending on charlottesville,

virginia to ask questions. >> i think this is premature. i think the facts should drive the media coverage rather than the speculations that have come out based on other recent national issues that have emerged. >> we don't know what happened before that cell phone video that prompted the virginia alcohol control agents to take down this kid and he ended up with 10 stitches and i saw the blood on the sidewalk outside this irish bar. martha: we have seen the picture of them on the ground but we don't know what happened that led those agents to take him down. we don't know what was said between them tbeb was resisting arrest. the police had no body cameras on. so they won't have any video that can prove they weren't in the right position to take this young man down. >> reporter: he was clearly

resisting arrest to some degree but there is no allegation he used force against these officers. they weren't even police officers. they were state alcohol control agents. the national media descend and say here is another incidents. some of the black student acknowledge they don't know exactly what happened. they can't be certain this was racial in nature as opposed to an unfortunate encounter between a student and these liquor cops. but then they started talking about michael brown's death in ferguson. so there is an atmosphere where this provided the spark where those who do believe that young black men are unfairly targeted feel indicated by what happened and other people are taking away the attitude. martha: that's the big picture as soon as something like this happens it becomes part of this

and what he said a few days ago is not consistent with what his stated position had been prior to that. martha: juan williams and mary katharine ham. juan what do you think is going on here? >> it's not good. i think what you are seeing here is the obama administration taking a harder line with benjamin netanyahu after his campaign pledge he was not going to allow to two-state solution to go forward. as you have said the prime minister says he reconsidered that approach. but from the white house you hear that this has been his behavior all along. he has not been invested in the u.s. pursuit of a two-state solution. so now it looks like the u.s. would be more open to not only taking steps to question how we support israel in the under

national community the united nations, before criminal court and the like, but also being direct with netanyahu that he does not share our u.s. interest in the middle east. martha: when you are dealing with this situation it begs the question ways your goal. what does the white house want to achieve? are they underred in pursuing peace in the middle east or some kind of deal that would include a two-state solution. and if they are interested do it make any sense for them to come out and make statement like they did yesterday? >> i think the white house was looking for a reason to take this stone with netanyahu. -- take this tone with netanyahu. a guy you disagree with won an elect in a democratic country. deal with it. you are the leader of the free world and it's your job to join with those people and have

productive discussions. prime minister netanyahu's job is to look out for the security of the israeli people. he was saying look, in the near future this is hard to do while securing the safety of the israeli people. and so that may not be on the table in the near future. after the election he says in theory i support this. basically he's a politician. obama should not be surprised to find this out. he has behaved the same way on many many occasions. martha: that's true. when you go back to the question of what the goal is. for centuries in history leaders have said one thing in public and talked about things in a different way behind closed doors. the choice the white house had was to say the president called benjamin netanyahu, he congratulated him. we are hopeful we can work toward a solution. then they didn't go that road.

instead they took the opportunity to say no, we don't take your word for it. why should we? is that helpful in the end? >> i think it's direct and honest. i disagree with the two of you. i think it many a clear flip-flop on an issue central to the u.s. interest in the region, which is peace. and protect the security of israel. when i have a situation where you have the european allies -- they are all about sanctions and attacking israel for the settlements or the occupied territory. the youth always stood against it. saying israel we are working with them on this two-state solution. so to make it boil down to it's another politician making a promise -- there are bigger issues here. martha: why not say we are glad he's on the same page on this and we hope we can make some kind of deal going forward which is essentially what netanyahu

said when he spoke to megyn last night. but they took the sour grapes route at the white house. >> it's their job to rye above that. a guy you don't like was elected, deal with it, suck it up. it's a total figure that there is no light between israel on settlements and the obama situation that he stood with them while europe has been against them. that's not the occasion on many occasions. when it was put to the israelis who do you tru for you're security they chose netanyahu. what is more in the u.s. interests than a free and democratic country electing somebody and having a peaceful transition to power. >> when you watched him say i'm not interested in a two-state solution as advanced by the united states of america, and

the second thing he said was oh, you know what? i don't care about the arabs who are israeli citizens come together election polls. his language was so offensive to american values, i think he angered a lot of americans. and that's not what you can flip-flop on. >> it's amazing these other ridiculous people obama calls and perhaps netanyahu can go farther down that road. what's the rule here? bill: a long time in this situation. maybe ever. a new scandal with hillary clinton. there are reports of foreign money flow together former secretary of state. we'll tell you from where and what that's all about. martha: obamacare is five years old today.

higher. >> the law is spending $2 trillion over the next 10 years. $5 billion is a round error. and lot of people who qualify for subsidies when they weren't supposed to and now the tax code is going to have -- the irs will have to reclaim that money. there will be tens of billions of dollars i would say. bill: some of these people lied about their income to get greater subsidies? >> possibly but that will be part of it. part of it is the people who made mistakes. people's income goes up and down. injure subsidies are going to change. the computer system the government set up don't always account for that. bill: what does that mean in the big picture a year from now five years from now? >> there will it's a government program where there will be

fraud and waste. >> we have to accept this? >> you have to get those programs outside of the government bureaucracy and private insurers administering those programs. if you look at credit card companies financial institutions, the rate of fraud is much lower. bill: the longer it goes, the moisture's in the bloodstream. the supreme court will have a big decision the end of june. what are republicans doing to couple an alternative. >> this is one of the big challenges. there is a contingency plan congress has to come up with. but the broader issue it's going to be hard. toto repeal and replace -- it's pretty difficult. to repeal and replace obamacare

it will require 60 votes in the senate. and republicans don't have 60 votes. they have 54. how will they they attract those centrist democrats? bill: there was a hearing yesterday, they would argue the plan has proven to be relative affordable and the exchanges have been stable and come pettive. >> we did a study at the manhattan's student and found the under lying cost of health insurance you buy upon healthcare.gov is 49% higher than the kind of insurance you could buy before. it'sit's affordable for some people because they qualify for the subsidies but for the taxpayer the cost is higher. for the people who qualify for subsidies they will be able to afford insurance because other people are paying extra to subsidize that. but for the person who doesn't

call file for subsidies healthcare is more expensive. bill: what do you think happens next? >> medicaid is going to expand a lot. but the private coverage that's supposed to be the heart of what obamacare does to reform the system is going to plateau. we are seeing the net number of people buying private coverage on the website is slowing down. bill: great to get your perspective. martha: another detainee is leaving gitmo. there is growing outrage as usama bin laden's bodyguard is being cleared for release. bill: is the first family moving into magnum p.i.'s home? details on the secret sale that just went down in hawaii.

martha: fox news alert. new violence in yemen. at least 46 people are now dead. looking at scene on the left-hand side of your screen. this city and this country have been racked with violence. now two attacks on mosques. authorities say three homicide bombers targeted the mosques in the northern part of the capital. there has been no came yet of responsibility. more coming on that as we get it this morning. this today. new fallout for hillary clinton about foreign donations to the clinton foundation during her time at the state department. the organization taking cash with foreign friends with close government ties to avoid the country actually making that donation as her time as head of the department of state.

welcome, to the brand new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm martha maccallum mack. bill: i'm bill hemmer. they agreed not to take money from foreign governments while clinton was secretary of state. "wall street journal" says money flowed from individuals with connections to their own government including members of the saudi royal family. foreign donors gave ,etween 34 and $6868 million to the foundation after 2009. martha: this is turning into a big story. tucker carlson, editor of "the daily caller," co-host of "fox & friends weekend." good to see you. >> good morning, martha. martha: when you take a look at this. as the head of the department of state, secretary of state, she stopped taking money from foreign countries during 2009 to 2013. >> right. martha: money flowed in from people closely connected to those government right? >> a lot of money. 10 of millions of dollars. in some respects it is distinction without a difference.

these records are not fully complete. they were given over to the "wall street journal" bit clinton foundation and apparently a report missing from them like dates for example, but from what we know there doesn't seem to much of a difference between accepting money from the government of saudi arabia kingdom saudi arabia and accepting money from a member royal family. not a key distinction. like china. the government of china did not directly contribute to the clinton foundation during that period but a government official who owns a construction company did. not a meaningful difference. martha: that is the thing to remember here. in so many of these countries you can be a member of parliament member of congress and run the largest construction company that does a ton of government business all at the same time. so these countries have very different rules about members about their government being involved in sometimes state-owned or partly state-owned entities and giving those contributions. that is why this is so fuzzy as you accurately point out. look at the statement that came in from the clinton global

initiative which bears the names, bill, hillary and chelsea and see what their response to this is. like other global charities and non-governmental organizations the clinton foundation receives support from individuals all over the world because our programs are improving the lives of millions of people around the globe. well you know, that is valid point, is it not tucker? this has been president clinton's mission since he left office to raise money for development and education and all sorts of positive things in all of these countries. so why wouldn't they take money from those countries to do those things? >> what the clinton foundation is does is entirely separate story. "new york times" did a pretty interesting series on this a couple years ago. i don't think you would find that any single person anywhere the most effective way to help the poor to give the money to the clinton foundation. not that they're good but there are other options rising the poor out of poverty. the key distinction with the

clinton foundation the people that run it are in position of profound influence. one of them was in charge of american foreign policy it is very hard to believe that, for example, a key chinese businessman/member of the ruling government in china is giving money to the clinton foundation simply because he wants to raise the status of women in west africa? not possible to believe that. martha: all right. so been laid out here is understandable to raise questions but the -- >> right. martha: the next point that would need to be made is a tie between any sort of favorable treatment that was given to that country or any kind of policy that was initiated because that donation was made and that i think, tucker, is where they will have a hard time. >> ask your sell, is it believable that rich people in algeria, or saudi arabia, or the emirates are so concerned about the status of women, they're so profoundly feminist they want to give money to the clinton foundation to elevate the status of women worldwide?

the saudis want that? that is insane. that just didn't happen. there is clearly another agenda. whether you can prove it is another question. martha: close relationship with prince turki who went to georgetown with bill clinton. there you go. tucker, thank you very much. good to see you as always. you bet. >> we are learning yet another gitmo prisoner now cleared for release. 36 years old. yemeni soldier. originally considered too dangerous for release when he got to gitmo in 2002 he was profiled as possible bodyguard for usama bin laden. how does he go from bodyguard from the man behind 9/11 to low level fighter? chief intelligence correspondent chairman herridge is live from washington. explain his status. >> reporter: good morning bill. the obama administration is simply to accept more risk that the detainee may return to terrorism in effort to reduce number of detainees in the

guantanamo camps and close the detention facility by the end of second term. the case is the latest example of so-called forever detainee. these are detainees deemed to dangerous by the bush administration to transfer out of u.s. custody. there was not enough admissible evidence to prosecute them in military or civilian federal courts. now being cleared for transfer by the obama white house. after the last defense secretary said he felt pressured to sign off on risky transfers, a senior republican in the senate pushed his successor for assurances he would put national security and not politics first. >> you will not succumb to any pressure by this administration to increase the pace of transfers from guantanamo, will you commit to that? too absolutely. >> reporter: the head of the defense intelligence agency recently testified that about 18% of detainees who have been released over the last four to five years have gone back to

terrorism, bill. bill: what are we down to, 125 130 at gitmo? >> reporter: about 122. 50 are cleared for transfer. that is really a euphemism. what it means they're cleared for release, because in almost all the recent cases there are few if anything meaningful restrictions on the detainees once they leave the guantanamo camp. the conventional wisdom, if the administration gets the camp population below 100 it will be easier to make the case for everyone who remains to the united states. it is not clear whether that can be done through executive action. current legislation prevents them from being transferred to u.s. soil. guantanamo five were transferred out of guantanamo to caterpillar tar. there is precedent going around congress. we're not sure what intentions the white house will be as we get to the end of the second term bill. bill: we know you will stay on it thank you katherine.

>> reporter: thank you bill. martha: then there is this. spring officially arrives today but weather advisories posted in eight states covering 32 misdemeanor people get to experience the first day of spring in their snow boots. it goes up so southern new england where they haven't had much snow this year in boston? not too much. maria molina is live in the fox extreme weather center with what we can expect. good morning, maria. >> good morning, martha. in defense the of mother nature. that is not technically spring just yet. that happens 6:45 p.m. eastern time. some areas feeling more like summer especially miami 88 degrees for the high temperature. you will be in 80s in the city of phoenix but across the mid-atlantic parts of northeast feeling like winter out there. here is a look at the storm system. that snow is already spread across parts of pennsylvania, parts of northern maryland,

portions of west virginia, into new jersey. for new york city you will see snow as well. we have winter weather advisories in effect, stretching as far west from parts of maryland to southern portions of connecticut. it is somewhat of a localized storm. new england will not see significant storm from the snow system. most of the snow will stay south. locally we'll look at six inches of snowfall. that is especially true among higher elevations. generally speaking looking to three to five inches of snowfall. temperatures here martha, also very warm when you're talking about snowfall. temperatures hovering around the freezing mark. at the surface slightly above. that will be a very heavy wet snow. keep that in mind if you have any shoveling to do. martha: which made it interesting to get dressed this morning. you're thinking snow boot yes heavy sweater or coat not necessarily. maria, tell us about the solar eclipse a lot of people are talking about because that is slightly more interesting story than the snow we'll get this

afternoon. >> when you head to space, you have absolutely something occurring the sun, the moon the earth lined up perfectly to produce beautiful image you have on the screen right there. unfortunately not visible in the u.s. but as you head into europe you could be looking at this out there. so just beautiful images coming out of there. by the way supermoon in space there is a lot going on. talking full moon one of larger ones called the supermoon. that will be happening. martha: supermoon. >> a lot occurring for first day of string. >> supermoon bigger than the normal moon. so many moons up there. bill: bright ones. which is longer, maccallum winter or lent? martha: winter is giving it a run for the money. bill: hang in there. white house is threatening to go to the u.n. to push its deal with iran. that does not sit well with senator lindsey graham. >> i'm not going to allow the united nations to be used as a way to get around the united

states congress for a deal that affects the very existence of israel. bill: what happens now? we'll talk to rick grenell about that critical point in a moment. >> former cia director general david petraeus saying isis is not the biggest threat in iraq. what does he believe is? general jack keane here on that. bill: there are new developments in the robert durst arrest. why the feds are looking in cold cases in three different states. >> if local partners need help with a homicide investigation or something else they will frequently ask us to run out the lead in new york or san francisco or some other place but about all i can say about it.

we do it a lot. it's why edward jones is the big company that doesn't act that way. bill: a bit of breaking news coming out of washington right now. house speaker john boehner will go to israel later this month apparently during the break after congress takes its break. this follows, what, the joint meeting of congress with benjamin netanyahu and israeli vote last week. we're not sure how long the trip was in the works. but we're sure it was in the works before benjamin netanyahu came to washington. john boehner will to to israel to restrengthen that relationship, at that right now you know is holding on tenuous hooks at the moment. boehner to israel now. >> all right. the u.s.-israel relationship has been in very tough shape. that is no surprise to anybody at this point. there are new reports that the white house is considering going to the united nations to get

support for nuclear agreement with iran. oh that has senator lindsey graham none too happy. >> if they try to go to the u.n. security council and b bypass us and leave us as the last guy standing there, will be a violent reaction against the united nations. 22% of the funding for united nations come from u.s. taxpayer. i'm in charge of that account. i will not be allowed for the united nations to get around the united states congress for a deal that affects very existence of israel and our own national security. very possible worst outcome is for iran to get a nuclear weapon. martha: senator lindsey graham is doing everything possible to stop that outfrom happening. rick grenell, great to see you again. >> you too martha. martha: talk first about the relationship between benjamin netanyahu and president obama because it looks like it couldn't be worse. what do you think? >> yeah, it is really bad.

it has been i woulding for many years. no one is really surprised. we've seen the policies of the white house and the state department be anti-israel all along, you can't argue with that. there seems to be animosity. the president of the united states just doesn't like netanyahu for some reason. so not having him to the white house is really petulent reaction. it is really unfortunate because israel is the democracy in the middle east and it's a great ally and we should be able to work through these issues. one thing that just wanted to point out is that, the white house isn't doing the heavy lifting to try to bring the two parties together. you know the u.s. policy is that we don't implement any solution on the palestinians and the israelis. that we bring them together, however the diplomatic quartet as it's called, a group of four, the u.s. the u.n., russia and

who am i missing? the e.u. they all come together to push the parties to talk, not to implement any specific policy. the quartet meetings which are very difficult, i've been in planning process of these it is extremely difficult to get all of those four entities together. a lot of people don't want it to happen. so they put it off. it is difficult but this house has taken a different approach and they haven't done any of heavy lifting. martha: they talk about the peace process wanting it, but we really haven't seen it demonstrated in any physical way most americans, i feel like my whole life they are working on the peace process. >> it takes consistent push om the white house which we don't see. martha: we clearly have not seen. that's a great point, rick, in the backdrop of all this. what about what lindsay tram says about the u.n.? the president going to the u.n. to sort of go around congress to get this deal negotiated for a future nuclear weapons program

with iran? >> i have a different opinion. i love lindsey graham but i have a different opinion. martha: yeah. >> first of all the u.n. security council is already on the record stating very clearly that iran can not enrich any uranium, zero enrichment. that is the u.n. resolution 56, times the security council said that language. what obama is negotiating outs side of the u.n. in geneva with the rest of these countries including germany they added germany because the germans are very weak on this issue, they are undermining the current u.n. security council resolutions. you have to bring that back. whatever deal is done in geneva you have to bring it back to the security council otherwise your deal is in violation of the current u.n. security council resolutions. i do think senator graham has a great point. that the senate, 100 people who

are elected by the americans across the country, 100 senators should be able to speak up, share their views and change this very weak policy. so the senate's got to get creative and figure out how to you change the state department and white house policy. martha: this bill, apparently not too far away from having a veto-proof majority, which would insist the president bring them to him first. we'll see where it goes. rick, great points. good to see you as always. thanks, rick. >> thanks, martha. bill: 20 minutes past the hour. new controversy over president obama's executive action on immigration. did the administration mislead the judge on that case? if true the judge is not happy. greg abbott, leading the lawsuit live is our es guest next. martha: how about this next? should the american students be citing the pledge allegiance in arabic? there is big mess at the school on the screen.

bill: federal judge in texas may come down hard on the justice department in the ongoing battle over the president's executive actions on immigration. at issue here, is whether or not the administration misled the judge about the plan. texas governor greg abbott, former texas attorney general with me live in austin. how are you sir welcome back, governor? >> great to be back bill. i'm doing great. bill: what is the allegation about misleading the judge? on what aspect of that order? >> well, when i filed the lawsuit back in december what

the department of justice and the federal government and jeh january son were supposed to do was hold the status quo and not to begin to implement barack obama's new executive action. and there was a conference call where the judge in texas, in brownsville, asked all of the parties to hold everything just the same and not to begin to implement the executive action until the judge had a chance to issue his decision on this and -- bill: so the executive action applies to what? like work permits and certain reprieves? >> it applies to two things bill. it applies first to deferred action by the obama administration. and it also provides those who would be subject to the deferred action work permits this is the key point i wanted to get across because it give insight to the general public what happened yesterday? the courtroom. this is what the judge said to

barack obama's lawyer. he said i asked you for the facts at the earlier hearing and like an idiot i believed what you said as the judge was talking to the lawyer. and then the judge followed that up by saying can i believe what secretary jeh johnson is saying? can i believe what the president is seaing? the counsel for the president jeh johnson stood silent for a second. the judge said, i expect a answer to my question. only begrudgingly, the lawyer for administration came up and said, yes you can. because what happened in the courtroom yesterday, it was clear once again for the lawyers for the obama administration misled the judge. so i think these lawyers for the administration and the administration themselves are digging themselves a huge hole they will not be able to get out. bill: the judge is a distribute

judge, andrew haynan. we put his picture on the screen. what the administration says the law does not apply to a certain year. the year in question was 2012. is that the case, governor or not? >> well, see and this is exactly how their lawyers got in trouble because their lawyers were arguing listen, they were applying the 2012 daca or deferred action. well the 2012 daca, or deferred action allowed for a two-year people period. the new executive order issued by the president this past november provided for a three-year deferred action. what happened after that first conference with the judge is the administration began offering this three-year deferred action to more than 100,000 people across the country. about 109,000 people. so it shows when the administration lawyers were saying was flat-out lies. bill: this is the issue now. if the judge rules against the administration what happens?

>> well, several things could happen. one, obviously the executive order will be stricken down. but secondly, more importantly the -- bill: that's a big deal. hang on. that's a big deal. you're saying the executive order could be struck down? >> yes. and we believe that the trial court judge is going to strike down the executive order because it's clear what the president has done here is abandoned constitution and rewritten the immigration law contrary to the way congress wrote them that a complete abdication of the president's responsibility under the federal constitution. >> greg abbott. thank you for your time. governor from texas. wow, if you're right we'll see what comes next. thanks for coming back with us in austin, texas. >> thank you, bill. martha: we haven't heard from this gentleman in a while, former cia director general david petraeus is now telling "washington post" that isis not the biggest threat facing iraq.

martha: well nearly 14 years after the deadliest terror attack on u.s. soil the new york medical examiner's office just identified the remains of one more of the victims. who was murdered by terrorists that day at the world trade center. his name is matthew david yarnell. he was 26 years old. he worked for fiduciary trust company on the 97th floor of the south tower. the identification was made after retesting dna samples. yarnell lived in new jersey. he is remembered for his great sense of humor. rest in peace david yarnell. bill: all these years later,

that process continues. significant comments from the former cia director general david petraeus telling "the washington post," isis not the biggest problem in iraq, quote, i would argue the foremost threat to iraq's stability and broader equalibrium, not islamic state shiite militias, many backed and some guided by iran. general jack keane chairman of institute for study of war, fox news military analyst. how are you, sir? >> good to see you. bill: a couple topics we want to go through. his comments about iran and not isis. what do you make of that? >> that is absolutely correct. certainly not the only one has been saying that. the issue for sometime, since 2009 we pulled away from iraq politically with the new administration. two years later we pulled away from iraq militarily iranians began to gain influence. at the same time they're gaining influence in syria lebanon and

desiring to extend control throughout the middle east. then isis invades iraq. january 2014. immediately the government asks for assistance from who? the united states. we refuse. we don't give them any help until eight months later. immediately the iranians began to help them. airplanes arriving every day. on the ground quds force providing advisors and assistance how to train up a force, et cetera. so that influence has been gaining for some time. what is going on here? the iranians want control of iraq just like they're controlling syria lebanon and sanaa. bill: truly remarkable. you mentioned this, the withdrawal of american forces. he was asked about that. he pretty much said, i don't know what would have happened if we kept 10,000 troops there i honestly don't know, but i wish we would have tested the proposition. is that as far as he goes publicly? >> yeah. i mean, what i interpret from that certainly is, if he had if

he had been there at the time he certainly would have wanted those troops to stay. when he left iraq in 2008, just going into 2009, there was no doubt that the government of iraq and government of the united states in the mind of george bush at the time wanted troops to stay in iraq. and clearly -- why did we want to do that? we wanted to do that because we wanted to leverage the administration that was there the maliki government, to push them in the right direction and also counter balance to the iranian -- bill: i understand that a lot of people in our audience understand that as well. his comment, is being more careful or feels more strongly about that? >> you have to ask him. bill: maybe we'll get the chance. tikrit, the battle over that town is stalled. what is happening there? can they defeat isis or not without our help? >> i don't think they can take the whole country without our help. they should be able to take tikrit. they are stalled because the casualties, 60, 70 per day.

they have a lot of ied booby-traps all over the place. here is what they also have. isis has a little less than 1000 fighters in the central part of city behind the walled palaces of saddam hussein's complexes. these guys are willing to die. the people attacking them want to win but not wanting to die. the casualties will have to mount if they will root out those people who are defending inner-city. there should be a pause here for everyone to understand. mosul is 10 times larger than this city. and it is significant. there will be more ieds, more booby-traps and thousands more fighters there. so we, people are pausing and looking at this, saying this will be a much tougher fight up in mosul. i hope the conclusion we can not do this fight without u.s. involvement in it. if we let the shia militia and iranians go to mosul and take it and take anbar, tell you what, bill, we will have lost iraq. not to isis but to iran.

bill: remarkable statement. general, thank you. jack keane here in new york. good to see you in person. we have breaking news right now. general, thank you. >> go for it. martha: along the same lines what is happening in the middle east there is some breaking news out of yemen to bring to you. the death toll has not risen to more than 130 in these attacks. coordinated simultaneous four suicide bombers at a pair of mosques in yemen. the reports obviously rising of those dead. there are reports that more than 300 may be injured. this is really about the battle that is going on in yemen, to basically overrun the houthis. these were shiite houthi mosques that were bombed ostensibly by sunnis fighting against the houthis in that group. isis claimed responsibility for these attacks. so obviously they continue to push back. remember the president called yemen one of the success stories after the arab spring period.
