that's it for us. special report is next. this is a fox news alert. i'm bret baier in washington. we begin with national insecurity here in the capitol city at least for awhile today. both the white house and the capitol were the targets of phoned-in bomb threats this afternoon. a senate hearing on the tsa's latest security troubles was suspended and the building cleared. a short time later, the televised white house briefing was cut short and journalists were ushered out. but it was what did not happen at the white house that raised the most questions. correspondent doug mcelway has the latest tonight. >> reporter: while the white house press corps was making a quick exit from the briefing room the president wasn't going anywhere.

throughout it all he remained in the oval office which is only about 15 yards from where the press normally sits. as you well know a generation ago news rooms across the country did not ordinarily report on bomb threats for fear of the copycat effect. but the rules have changed. >> today in the space of a couple of hours there were two bomb threats, one phoned into the d.c. police that a bomb had been placed in the white house press room. >> the president remained very nearby in the oval office through it all. earlier at the dirksen senate office building senators and their staff were evacuated after another phone threat. >> we need to recess. the police is clearing this. >> coincidentally put to an abrupt end a senate homeland security meeting. it may be a sign of the terror-rich times and increasing doubts about the nation's

security apparatus. doubts laid bare today as the senate panel scrutinized recent security missteps by the tsa and some new ones too. >> t s a is handing out precheck status like hallowe'en candy. >> they report pressure to move passengers quickly. >> i know this is the whole thing of time versus safety. and how quickly can we move people through, right? >> yes. you've hit the essence of the problem. that pressure helps to explain the recent inspector general's report that found 67 of 70 testers were able to penetrate airport security carrying fake bombs and weapons. new today the 67 intrusions were not by tsa's red team testers, highly skilled in concealing explosives. >> so the red teams are not yours. and this leaked report is yours. >> these are auditors that we use who are members of the inspector general's office. >> they're accountant. which by the way i'm an accountant i don't take umbrage in that. >> it was only the latest in a

series of snafus. it allowed 73 airport workers to be credentialed for access to secure areas despite their names being on a terror watch list. advanced imaging technology or ait machines that don't detect metal weapons but offend many with revealing body scans. the array of problems and the expense of solving them has congress looking at all options from tweaks to a wholesale revamping. >> we're got to be thinking outside the box. we need a complete review top to bottom. >> one idea getting traction is replacing imaging technology with bomb-sniffing dogs. another idea getting traction it will happen within the next couple of weeks, is the nomination and confirmation i should say, of the tsa administrator, peter neffenger, rear admiral in the u.s. coast guard to that position that has been vacant since the month of january. >> doug, thanks.

the obama administration is asking for a six-month renewal of nsa authority to collect bulk telephone records. the just passed usa freedom act outlaws the procedure but grants a half year transition period. the president's request will be decided by the for instance intelligence surveillance or fisa court. for the second straight day, president obama is putting some not so subtle pressure on the u.s. supreme court to rule in his favor when it issues its decision on the legality of federal health care subsidies. correspondent shannon breen. >> i think this is almost like a bullying technique. >> the fallout continues today from the president's remarks that not only should the supreme court not have taken the case it's currently considering, which will impact obama care subsidies being paid out to millions of americans, but also that he expects the supreme court to quote play it straight and side with the administration. >> what is the implication there if you all don't win that case

that the justices are playing politics with the issue or they don't know how to do their job? >> well i think the president's view is that this is a straightforward case. and in the mind of the president, as he mentioned yesterday, this is probably a case the supreme court shouldn't even have taken up. but as long as they have the president believes that the reading of the law is quite clear. >> reporter: the law says subsidies will extend into states that set up their own exchanges. more than 35 decided not to. but the irs extended them into all states. so-called obama care architect jonathan gruber explained the law this way back in 2012. >> if you're state and don't set up an exchange that means your citizens don't get their tax credits. >> i can't account for his comments. >> he spoke at the catholic health association. >> despite constant doom and gloom predictions, the unending chicken little warnings that somehow making health insurance fair and easier to buy would

lead to the end of freedom. the end of the american way of life. lo and behold it did not happen. >> the president went on to say in many respects the affordable care act has performed even better than expected. >> costs have exploded. not just the cost of premiums but the cost of co-pays, the cost of deductibles. all this in spite of the president's promise people would see premiums dropping by $2500 for families. the newest reports our premiums are going to skyrocket again this year. there is no end in sight. >> some saw irony in the fact the president spoke to a catholic organization today about the overwhelming sung says of the health care law at the same time dozens of other catholic groups are suing the president over religious and other issues in the law. the labor department says u.s. employers advertised the most open jobs in april than at any time since the collection of such data began 15 years ago.

stocks were mixed taught. the dow lost 2.5. s&p 500 was up a point. the nasdaq dropped eight. a state police spokesman tell fox news law enforcement is chasing down a lead in willsboro new york after a prison break there. residents reported seeing a couple of men walking in town monday night during a driving rainstorm. police are conducting an aerial and ground search of the area about 30 miles from that prison. tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the fall of mosul, iraq to isis terrorists. american leaders say the of the to defeat the group will take several more years at least. >> even if we were just talking about this from a military perspective, i know we're not but let's say we were. it's still going to take three to five years. it's going to take awhile. this is not going to be solved overnight. i think all of us need to have strategic patience here as we work our way through it. >> kirby's prediction is consistent with the

administration's assessment last september. the head of the u.s. air combat command tells the times though the fight could last up to seven years. the deadline for reaching a deal on iran's nuclear program is three weeks away. if an agreement is struck it could be a financial windfall for the iranians. and national security correspondent jennifer griffin tells us tonight that could further destabilize an already fractured middle east. >> reporter: during a trip to israel to meet his defense counterpart and ease israeli concerns about a possible nuclear deal with iran the president's top military adviser, general martin dempsey, admitted in frank off camera remarks to reporters that quote iran would likely inject some resources from nuclear sangdss relief into its military and surrogates." referring to hez hezbollah and bashar al assad. president obama downplayed the sanctions relief estimated at

$150 billion would be a windfall for iran's terrorist proxies. >> are they going to suddenly be able to finance ten times the number of hezbollah fighters? probably not. >> about the u.n. special envoy to syria, shown here meeting assad in damascus told experts in washington recently that iran spends $35 billion a year to prop up syria's president. more than twice its entire military budget in spite of the current sanctions. his spokesman later clarified to fox news that he meant to say $6 billion a year nearly half of iran's declared military budget. the administration has been pressing its case for a nuclear agreement in a series of speeches to jewish groups. treasury secretary jack lue, an orthodox ju was booed during a conference sponsored by a conference in new york. >> some would say our sanctions

would fall apart and this program would allow iran to move closer to acquiring a nuclear weapon. [ audience boos ] >> but none of that came to pass. >> estimates as to how much money is sent by iran to syria to prop up the regime varies greatly. sources in the region suggest it is about 1.5 to $2 billion a year not including the barter deals for oil and petroleum products what most agree even with sanctions iran's support to assad has not slowed. >> jennifer griffin at the pentagon thank you. up next jeb bush calls out vladimir putin and president obama overseas. we'll tell you why. first here's what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering. in houston texas greg abbott signs a border security package. more troopers cameras and a spy plane to patrol the state's 1200-mile border with mexico. fox 19 in cincinnati with the death of 1100 piglets in a

tractor-trailer accident near dayton. the vehicle carrying 2200 animals crash and and overturned monday night. about half were recovered while some escaped into nearby woods. there were no serious injuries among the humans involved. this is a live look at dallas from our affiliate fox 4. big story there tonight breaking this afternoon, the mckinney police officer who pushed one teen to the ground and drew his gun on another in that video that has now seen on every cable channel has resigned. corporal eric casebolt had been on administrative leave following his actions at a friday pool party. the video went viral. today casebolt's lawyer confirmed his resignation. that's tonight's live look outside the beltway from special report. we'll be right back.

gravitas on a three-country visit to american allies. >> reporter: in germany, focusing on foreign policy six days before officially announcing his presidential bid, jeb bush criticized president obama and secretary of state hillary clinton for weakness. he said u.s. allies will stand with ukraine. >> if aggression goes unanswered our alliance our solidarity and our actions are essential if we want to preserve the fundamental principles of our international order. >> bush balked clinton's efforts as naive and called putin a ruthless pragmatist. >> we ought to isolate its corrupt leadership from its people for starters. giving the sense that we're

reacting in a tepid fashion only enables the bad behavior of putin. so i think there's lots to do. and we're beginning to realize that the reset button didn't turn out so hot. >> bush suggested freer u.s. trade with europe will help both compete with asia and strengthen security for its allies. >> at a time when so many are still kept down by poverty, tir trksz yr tyranny or both -- >> it's been clear he hasn't had a plan. it's been equally clear that the pentagon has been giving him options and of course our allies have been asking for very specific things to help us defeat isis. >> while chris christie blasted the president for backing a nuclear deal with iran that could lead to the bomb and is silent on tehran's miss sell program which could launch it. >> we're going to let them

continue to run centrifuges and enrich uranium and have no agreement regarding ballistic missiles that could deliver that if they were to weaponize. >> bush got a warm reception in germany today while christie in new hampshire proclaimed himself quote the best-known republican candidate in america. he's close, but a recent pew poll said among republicans kri christie has 84% name idea. bush tops the field with 92 bret? >> carl thank you. christie did score a big political win here stateside. new jersey's supreme court sided with the governor in a major fight with public worker unions over pension funds. justices reversed a lower court ruling ordering the governor and lawmakers to restore cuts to pension contributions. former republican house speaker dennis hastert has entered a plea of not guilty to federal charges that he broke the law as part of an attempt to keep a very dark seecret. federal authorities say he tried to pay millions of dollars to hide allegations about past

sexual misconduct from his days as a high school teacher and coach. still ahead, is there a coverup at the state department over a report that makes former secretary of state hillary clinton look bad? first senate majority leader mitch mcconnell joins me live in studio about trying to get the

kentucky senator mitch mcconnell said there would be changes when he became majority leader at the start of the year. there have been a handful of legislative accomplishments so far. some of the old rancor has re-emerged recently throwing into question just how effective the senate can be. let's talk about that tonight with senate majority leader

mitch mcconnell. senator, thanks for being here. i want to start by having you get your reaction to what the president said about strategy as far as isis in iraq and that he was waiting on finalized plans from the pentagon. >> well i think he's admitted the obvious, which is there has been no plan to deal with isil of any significance since he called them a j.v. team in early 2014. so it's a great failing of the administration at least so far. >> are there plans in congress to somehow deal with that the authorization? do you think that that goes through? >> well he's the commander in chief. i mean it's up to him to lay out a plan to help take back iraq. and i think clearly at this stage we don't want to refight the iraq war. we're not going to send in combat troops. but the huge mistake, bret, was to not leave behind a residual force at the end of the iraq war which was a successful conclusion for the purpose of

training the ongoing training of the iraqi military whose specialty seems to be throwing down their weapons and running so that they could take the fight to whoever they needed to take it to. >> so where do you put the prospects of the authorization for the use of military force? >> i think the president needs to decide what he wants to do first before he is given some authorization for the use of military force. he obviously think his has the authority to do what he's doing now. if he wants to change the plan thinks he needs help from us authorization from us we're happy to take a look at it. >> many political experts in washington have always called you a master of legislative logistics. that is until earlier this month. many republicans questioned what happened? were you on the wrong side of the nsa debate? did you misread things and help those programs to expire? >> well first of all, we passed over 30 bipartisan pieces of legislation this year. significant pieces of legislation. the senate is working again. in all of 2014 there were only

15 amendments roll call votes on amendments in the senate floor all year. we've already had 120 this year. we're up and functioning. on the nsa issue we just had a big difference of opinion. my view was that the patriot act had done a good job of protecting americans in the wake of 9/11. there were others who wanted to water it down. and at least one member of the senate who didn't want even the watered-down version. and so we had a brief period without it. no harm was done. and we moved on. >> were you trying to help in any way senator rand paul? >> i support him for president but i very much disagree with him on the new york sasa issue. i think he's wrong about it. the nsa is not listening to your phone calls. here's the old situation under the old law watered down. nsa would have no more than your telephone records which the telephone companies already have. >> sure. but you still support him for president. >> i do. we differ on this very important issue.

he's from my state. >> some republicans say that's disqualifying. rand paul should be disqualified. >> he's from kentucky he's a friend and colleague and i support him. but on this issue we completely and totally disagree. so even though the patriot act is no more i think it's important for people to understand no one was listening to their phone calls unless they were engaged in overseas conversations with known terrorists and even then before the nsa could listen into the call they'd have to go to the court and get a warrant. >> let me talk to you about the agenda. even though you lectured the senate minority leader harry reid the other day he doesn't control the schedule. hasn't he effectively pirated the schedule and made things really tough on you now? >> they've tried to slow things down but they're not going to succeed. for example they first said they weren't going to pass the defense authorization bill. now they've cap it lated on that. made it difficult to go to other measures. we can work around that this is a very productive senate.

as i said we've already passed over 30 important pieces of bipartisan legislation. we're about to pass a defense authorization bill. we're going to vote on a cyber security bill. we just had a cyber attack a few days ago. >> reid is already threatening to slow up both defense, cyber security the whole thing. >> that's possible in the senate. but people don't like it. they don't approve of it. and that may be one reason why he's the minority leader this year instead of majority leader. >> one republican is quoted in "politico," mitch doesn't have time. in a perfect world he'd want to do all the appropriations bills. that's not goll going to happen because we don't have the time. >> floor time in the senate which always takes longer to do anything in the house, is always what i call the coin of the realm. what priorities are you going to turn to and how long will it take to finish them? the senate never operates quickly. but i knew that before we became

majority. >> do you think the voters got that? >> look i don't think the average voter knows a whole lot about the differences between the house and the senate structurally. but the senate has always for 200 years been a place that took longer to accomplish things. so you have to really make a serious decision about what you're going to turn to. because it will probably take you awhile to do it. the house can do something in two hours that would take us two weeks. >> is your relationship with boehner still good? >> oh, yeah absolutely. >> seemed on nsa you were a bit on different sides. >> we had a difference of opinion on the nsa. i'm a supporter of the patriot act. i think it helped to keep americans safe. why not make the trade bill transparent? why not tell people what's in it? >> we're going to find out what's in it. >> that sound like nancy pelosi. >> it hadn't been finalized yet. what trade promotion authority is is a process to deal with it. the trade agreement will be completely transparent. we'll have a chance to vote whether to approve it or not. >> so all this criticism about we don't know what's in it yet,

you discount that. >> i don't buy that. because the agreement hasn't been finalized. what we've been voting on is a procedure that allows it to be dealt with once it's completed. we'll know everything about what's in it and be able to decide whether to pass it or not. >> what are you going to do to respond to king versus burrwell if the supreme court comes in favor of king? doesn't this hold potential problems for the g.o.p.? what do you think the solution is if you have to deal with this quickly? >> depending on what the supreme court decides, we'll have a proposal that protects the american people from a very bad law. obama care was the single worst piece of legislation that's been passed in the last half century. the single biggest step in the europeanizing our country. premiums are going up co-payments are going up deductibles are going up. what we will do, bret is offer a proposal to protect the american people. >> won't there be senator, some

in your party who say that any vote for even that that patch, will be a tacit endorsement of obama care in some way? >> i think we have to see what the supreme court decides before we announce a proposal to deal with it. >> how much tougher it is to operate the senate with candidates for president operating out of the senate? >> well look. ambition in the senate is not unusual. so having people run for president is not unusual. there have been occasions when we want to make sure everybody was there for a particular vote. it so far has not been a problem. >> so you still see prospects of getting things done? >> we've had a very productive session so far. dramatically more productive than the last two. the senate is open and functioning again. we're passing budgets. we're having votes on amendments. people are being allowed to participate no matter whether they're democrats or republicans. the senate is a new senate with a different majority and different view what ought to be done for the country. >> as always we appreciate your

coming in. >> thank you, bret. no grapevine tonight. when we come back it seems marco rubio just can't win with the "new york times."

hillary clinton is facing new allegations tonight that a high profile report on her time as secretary of state was essentially scrubbed to make her look good or at least not so bad.

here's chief white house correspondent ed henry covering the clinton campaign. >> amid new allegations today of a coverup at the state department when hillary clinton ran the agency former president bill clinton was in denver, offering a vigorous defense of the family's public service as he opened a summit which is overseen by the clinton foundation. >> more than 900,000 people have benefitted from skills training. more than 4 million metric tons of greenhouse gasses have been avoided. >> what cannot be avoided is scrutiny of hillary clinton's time as secretary, including a report by the washington examiner that whistle blower richard higby is going on the record with charges that officials in the state department harold geizel removed unflattering comments about clinton from a high profile report released from her final days in office in 2013.

in one draft of the report mentioning allegations of pedophelia someone wrote "these allegations must be deleted." >> we've put individuals behind bars for criminal behavior. there is record of that. ambassadors would be no exception. >> psaki now serves as communications director at the white house and today had to spin another challenge for clinton. >> she's said that she wants to wait and see what the details are. as you know, she's been out there. she was out there for a great deal of time when she was secretary of state talking about the benefits of tpp. >> clinton is hedging on tpp because of pressure from the left. senator bernie sanders is strongly opposed to the deal and it's helping give his campaign a lift. he finished a strong second to clinton in a wisconsin straw poll losing 49% to 41%. bret? >> ed thank you.

for the second time in less than a week the "new york times" has gone after florida senator and republican presidential candidate marco rubio. last week it was traffic violations mostly by his wife. tonight more serious concerns about his financial management. fox news media analyst and host of fox's media buzz howard kertz is here to tell us more. what's new in this "new york times" story about marco rubio? >> it's mainly a greatest hits compilation of rubio's financial struggles which have never been a secret. here's a 2012 interview on special report about rubio at a florida lawmaker using a g.o.p. credit card for personal costs. >> the republican party of florida never paid my personal expenses never. but look i shouldn't have done it that way. it was lesson learned. >> one new detail rubio spent $80,000 on what the times calls a luxury speed boat but the campaign says is a family fishing boat. and that along with recycled tales about rubio having to cash in a retirement account to pay

some bills and having lost money on the recent sale of a tallahassee house that he co-owned with another politician who later got caught up in an investigation. >> how does this kind of story affect rubio's image potentially? >> it makes him like a lot of ordinary americans, bret. he's a guy who's a son of aim grant bartender, took on a lot of student debt, took out some loans and later got overextended. buried in the story is the fact the rubios have set up college savings accounts for their four children and in the last three years have contributed $60,000 to charity. >> so what's the official response from the rubio campaign about this? >> rubio spokesman told me that the story is absurd and attacks rubio for not being rich. and top adviser todd harris added telling me the times is being elitist for describing rubio's student debt as a financial hole of his own making. now, all candidates are subject to scrutiny for their financial affairs of course. but what undercut this story a

little bit is that it followed another "new york times" report bret about rubio receiving four traffic tickets in 17 years. a matter so trivial it drew a lot of mockery online. >> howard thank you. national insecurity. bomb threats at the white house and the capitol today and major problems with the tsa. we'll talk about it all with the panel when we come bac'd you ever learn ♪ ♪ to fight without saying a word? ♪ ♪ then waltz back into my life ♪ ♪ like it's all gonna be all right ♪ ♪ don't you know how much it hurts? ♪ ♪ when we don't talk ♪ ♪ when we don't touch ♪ ♪ when it doesn't feel like we're even in love ♪ ♪ it matters to me ♪

we need to have a recess for this committee hearing. the capitol police is clearing this. so we should be locked down and stay in place? >> no we're clearing the floor. >> we're clearing the floor. if you could in an orderly fashion please exit as quickly as possible, thank you. >> i need you to come out, please. >> get him down. >> a rare event today on capitol

hill and at the white house. two phoned in bomb threats evacuations in both places. it's rare for the white house briefing room mid briefing to be evacuated if you take a look at the map of the press briefing room where it is compared to the oval office there, you see the blue circle down there at the bottom. it's pretty close, right across the west colonade. we have this statement from josh earnest after this area was cleared. no bomb threat. at the time of the briefing room evacuation the president remained in the oval office and was not evacuated by the seecret service. the first lady and daughters were in the residence and were not evacuated. >> how about that george? >> there must have been expecting a very infear kror bomb if the president would stay that close to it and the family would be upstairs. i really do not envy the men and women of the secret service who must hear lots of calls like this and then have to make a

snap decision as to whether or not to ignore it or by following through as they did today, give all the crack pots in the country -- and there's a considerable cohort of them -- an incentive to use a simple telephone call to first of all shut down portions of the government and then commandeer the evening news. >> right. well, listen there were a lot of people out there today who were saying this evacuation during the briefing was a reaction to past secret service problems and maybe they decided to err on the side of caution. that's one sense. but only a few yards away was the president in the oval office. >> which suggests that the president and his top staff did not take it seriously. but it's possible that the secret service was compensating overreacting but i don't think you can overreact in a situation like that. because clearly you're putting the lives of not only the president but the press corps at stake. so you have to give people an option. the president in this case made

a decision for himself. i don't doubt that. >> this does happen a lot. but it seems like it's happening more frequently and they're take -- authorities are take it more seriously in this current environment. we've had a number of calls in at airports airlines. we've had a number of threats here in washington in recent days. obviously isis is out and about online saying what they're saying. >> look we've had a lot of terror attacks around the world in paris and a lot of capitals. in canada. look if you get a bomb threat called in you have to react. there's simply no way you can ignore it. you know the chances of it being real are infinitesimal. but nonetheless you have no leeway. >> george the tsa. hearing today on capitol hill. a lot of charge that is it's just frankly not working. >> well the tsa did not exist until 2002. and suddenly it had a quarter of a million employees, one in four

of whom is with the tsa. and it's not surprising that given the mission they have there are problems with it. because the mission first of all as we've all said here before is security theater. it's to make people feel good and continue to fly. in the midst of this they have to obey certain civil rights and political correctness strictures so they wind up wanding 6-year-old boys and 80-year-old grandmothers rather than concentrate on young males who are certainly the cohort the country has to fear. so i sympathize with them too. they've got a very difficult mission. that said if you can't find bombs, guns and explosives that are going through it's time to get better machines and better people. >> one, the screening, 96% failure rate done by auditors at the inspector general's office not some red team at the tsa. but what was also interesting is that they didn't have information about the terror watch list. 73 people working at vendors,

were at airlines or in airports on the terror watch list and they didn't know about it. >> i don't understand that. it seems to me they must have made a decision with regard to exactly where the people on the terror watch list or simply that they qualified, that they could be included. i think there are gradations. i think that's the argument coming back from tsa. it's not as if they were pushed off qualifications for the right to fly, but these people had contact or contact with charity that is were giving money to terrorists overseas. >> here's how the i.g. at this hearing explained it. this is roth i.g. report. >> there is sort of the large list with the database largest identity and data environment. tsa by law didn't have access to some of the codes. we were able to in the course of our audit run 900,000 names against the tide database. as we sit now, i think we have

some comfort in understanding what that environment looks like. in other words, the 73 individuals we believe is the sort of sum entirety of what was missed. >> basically, charles, this is not giving a comfort to anybody hearing all of these details. >> look any system that puts steve hayes on the terror watch list can't be all bad. but the fact that they have to discover that there are what 73 employees in airports who were missed because as we just heard we didn't have some of the codes is really awful. look a lot of this is simply bureaucratic incompetence which you get in large government agencies. but a part of this is claire mccaskill said the issue is the whole thing is time versus safety which is absolutely right. and everybody who goes through the airport knows that 98% of the time is wasted on people who

obviously are not a threat but we do it because we don't want to profile. so i would recommend reverse profiling. not to profile who is likely but to profile people who you know are not. i'd start with nuns in habits over 70 years old. the ones who are around 50 you can't really trust. but over 70 i would start with. families with small children. we can do that and eliminate the charade. >> tongue in cheek here we go. senator mccaskill from missouri george also saying that the reason there are problems are because we cut and cut and cut the money for homeland security. >> it is a familiar washington minuet the worse an agency performs the more the reason cited is

nato and all the rest. >> juan, what about politics at the water's edge specific charges against the administration, against president obama. against secretary clinton overseas? from. >> well, the politics are pretty clear here. republican electorate does not feel safe and they are

highly concerned about national security at this moment. they rank it as their number one issue bret. so you have all of the candidates i think, in a very difficult situation because none of them have extensive foreign policy experience. if you compare them directly with hillary clinton as a former secretary of state they come up lacking. so what you have seen. >> oh though they would charge that her record is not exemplary. >> that's the thing none of them has been in the position to deal with other foreign powers, traveled extensively and all that so what you have seen is then a lot of them going overseas. i had had the fox news brain room come up with the answer that six of them have already gone over to see walker carson, jeb bush, huckabee and lindsey graham. four of them have gone to israel. that seems to be the place to go. but in all cases it's less about their actual policy. if you remember walker had a few trips over in london. it is more about saying, listen, can i get on the

world stage and can i handle it ably. that's what we saw today from president bush. >> on putin president obama said yesterday he has a decision to make either wreck his country's economy and continue isolation or recognize that russia's greatness does not depend on violating the sovereignty of other countries? >> i think putin will choose the latter. obama's arrogance is really incomprehensible. he tells isis it's not islamic. he tells israelis he knows jewish interests and ethics more than they do, now he is instructing putin on what the the russia's greatness is putin has 80% approval in his country almost twice what obama here. he knows what russians want. they want the crimea and ukraine. they are willing to suffer economically if necessary. i don't think that's a productive line of argument. >> so bush foe he cussing on putin is? >> yes. because it is a problem that we have experience with.
