minutes after netanyahu is dumb with his speech to the american congress his -- is done with his speecho the american congress the response to his speech in terms of how israelis will react to all of this, forced to ease from now, they will indeed be heading to the polls to decide whether or not they want netanyahu to keep his job and therefore remain israel 's prime minister for a fourth term . >> gallagher, what kind of reaction has them rent to this visit from the israelis themselves? >> there is quite a bit of controversy. as i mentioned, this is election time, so if worse netanyahu's political opponents have been blasting him for this trip to the u.s., seeing he is responsible for damaging the very important relationship with israel for the main and most powerful ally, namely the united states, and it is quite difficult at this point to find israelis, whether they come from civil society or other sectors of society, with military backgrounds who handle this or politicians who wholeheartedly support netanyahu's trip without any kind of hesitation because there has been quite a bit o

officials say israel spied on the iran nuclear talks and used the information to lobby the american congress to sink that deal. and that's according to the wall street journal. they say the spying was part of a larger campaign by the israeli prime minister to build a case against the deal. the journal says israeli officials deny spying directly on u.s. negotiators, and that they used other ways to get the information, including surveillance of iranian leaders. >>> and a report would have made for an interesting meeting as more democrats metz with the israeli ambassador trying to repair the damaged relationship between the two countries. >> this comes as the white house says it will not overlook netanyahu's flip-flop over palestinian statehood just before last week's election. he has been trying to clarify his statement that there would be no palestinian state while he's in office. he now says he still supports the idea but not under current conditions. but, of course the obama administration is certainly not impressed. listen. >> after the election the prime minister said he had not changed

he is now getting serious pushback from the white house, from the top of the american administration. and people in congress even stayed away from his talk. there's an unprecedented shift in some quarters of american political society in terms of how american senior official are pushing back and publicly criticizing the israeli prime minister and challenging israeli policies to the point that benjamin netanyahu is worried and is trying to make up for it, but it's not going to work. >> we're wondering how far that shift goes. how much it goes beyond the personal relationship between obama and netanyahu and how it might impact the diplomatic relations of the two allies. one high obama official said 50 years of israeli occupation must end. blood pressure term. president obama saying he is reassessing the relationship. how then do you think it can be amended beyond the apologies that we've seen netanyahu make in the short term? in the long term how do you get the countries back together? >> i think what has to happen now and is starting to happen thankfully is that the united states government is differentiatin

it's all through this, and somewhere i have my -- here's the american writers congress -- this is the international publishers, a communist publishing house, and has the proceedings of what they say. so the point is i'm not making it up. you can go and get this american writers congress of '35 and anybody who wants to can actually look at this document and see that this is exactly what they were proposing. they were proposing violent revolution. they thought that the revolution was about to come and said you can't belong to the league of american -- basically what they said was when they formed the league of american writers, they said everybody coming has to believe we want a soviet -- that the revolution is inevitable and that we want -- they say that in the cause of the first american writers conference,and we will always defend the sovietupon and form a league of american writers which will be formally associated with the international union of revolutionary writers, which is in moscow and -- >> host: the irony is freedom of expression was completely banned in the soviet union. th

. >> the "wall street journal" saying israel used the information to lobby the american congress to sink any potential deal. that's apparently what angered the white house the most. the paper says the israelis deny spying directly on u.s. negotiators. >> we have more on the story from jerusalem. orrin lieberman joins you live. it is about 9:00 in the morning there in jerusalem. perhaps too early to great reaction. talk to us about what you're hearing about this and also whether this perhaps explains how angry the obama administration clearly is with mr. netanyahu and what the ramifications might be. >> reporter: first, it's important to point out that the israeli administration prime minister's office categorically denies spying on the u.s. or any other allies. they reject that part of the story. at the same time, from what we've seen israel has used whatever information it has about the talks however it got those to try to influence the negotiations to try to make sure that israel and the security of the country stay a primary concern in those negotiations. of course netanyahu throughou

open letter to iran's leaders from the american congress.y calling the deal in effect during president obama's term of office. white house calling it a stunt. >>> hardship in the east, food supplies are dwindling in ukraine. john hendren reports from donetsk. >> reporter: in separatist donetsk, grocery store went from ten supplies to one here in donetsk. >> it's impossible to find new suppliers. as for the future, we live one day at a time. >> reporter: at this grocery chain not far away, you can still buy meat and fish but choices are slim. you can buy if you can afford it. meat and eggs have double in prices tea tripled. not happy about rampant inflation. >> prices have increased and salaries and pensions haven't. cooking oil used to cost 19 hrivnas, now it costs 30. >> here in separatist donetsk it's much higher. pensioners the unemployment, have to travel outside separatist trair territory to collect their money. for many that's prohibitively expensive and could take days. turning bustling shopping centers like this one into ghost towns

rebecca vallize, director of policy for the poverty to prosperity programme at the center for american congressyou heard the congressman, wondering why we have this battle now. is this a good time to have the fight, have we waited too long to start it? >> i think congress waited too long. the last time reallocated was all they needed to do was by time. reform never came. in fact, there are a lot of ways in which we could improve the disability programme so what works better for beneficiaries, it's overdue to start talking about solutions. >> even if you don't approve of the means, why not have it out now, so you don't have to come back every couple of years and top up the fund. i'm all for having a conversation, i think it's important to have the conversation, to listen to what the american public wants. poll after poll made clear americans love social security they are opposed to cuts. they want to strengthen benefits. a poll found americans across party lines and levels of generations agree that what they want do see is social security strengthened, benefit increased and are willing to pay mo

by 1940, the germans controlled europe and were poised to attack britai a frightened american congressropriated $37 billion for defense, more than the entire cost of world war i. how would the government raise these huge sums? that means taxes and bonds and bonds and taxes. schoumacher: treasury official roy blough remembers. now, the treasury view -- and i shared it -- was you get as much out of taxes as you can and up to 100%. now, of course we never succeeded in doing that. you take the whole war period, the tax revenues for the war period were a little less than half of the total. the rest of it was borrowed. schoumacher: in england, economist john maynard keynes urged the american government to borrow from a pool of money created by a compulsory savings program. but a group of young american economists had a better idea as richard gilbert recalls. the group which i led proposed to finance the war through borrowing -- in itself not different from the keynesian proposal -- but with a direct control of prices and wages to prevent the kind of inflation that had always been associated

no one no one in this body, no one in the other body in congress no one who represents the american people in congress or any state legislature no one who represents our country can be satisfied with a 9%, 9.2% wage growth over 40 years when we are still having robust productivity increases. there are a lot of reasons for it. there are a lot of causes we could make that would attribute to that terrible diminution, but we have got to do something about it, and part of that is having an agenda that will speak to wages in the middle class and not to the issues that are in front of us, including these trade agreements. i would argue without a doubt that our trade agreements have made this problem significantly worse over the last 20 or 25 years, and i'm afraid we are headed down that path where trade promotion authority or the so-called trans-pacific partnership enacted into law. here's what that wage diminution meant in pennsylvania, just another period of time, a shorter period of time, about 15 years. in pennsylvania, median household income fell by 3% in the 15 years between 1998 and 2013

congress even. >> rerack that again. law makers strapped for cash like ordinary americans? melissa, i'm guessing the average american would love to make what congress makes. >> absolutely. that is one of the most embarrassing comments i heard in a long time. that's saying a lot because congress people are always embarrassing themselves. she needs to look at the math. the fact of the matter is the average congress person's pay package is three times what regular americans on average make. they're up above $170,000. the average american makes about $55,000. they have no idea what it's like to live in an average household and to even try and compare themselves is disingenuous pathetic and disgusting. >> you don't believe that, jonas. you say big paychecks and big bills, you still need your paycheck. >> yeah. okay. you can make $1 million more than anybody in the government makes, except the contractors. you got used to stuff. you've got a $20,000 mortgage payment. you can't just get out of that because you are just addicted to paycheck to paycheck. >> control your spending. >>

so far as the hollywood left was concerned in the wake of the fourth week of the fourth american writers congress and all these people on england saying that england is the enemy, not hitler. >> host: so this is after the pact of 1939 so by that point it is clear it's already happened. he's already shown aggression toward his neighbors and these are people who are reading the newspaper every day and know that if they are taking hitler. >> guest: many >> guest: many people were jewish and the point is that they were willing to do it and when they made the deal with stalin, first of all they would get the eastern half in the baltic states you could have all of that. that is a fairly good deal so far as many of the people were concerned but the point is what it is unleashed world war ii. everyone understands that in 1939 that was one of the factors eight days later hitler and dana stalin was going to support him. that's why he made that deal with stalin. he invades poland and takes the western half and then england and france said over and over again they are going to declare a war if he invaded bec

and my hope is that all americans will take serious the right to vote. and that we in congress will go back, renewed by witnessing living history, that we will actually go back and restore the voting rights amendment. >> what do you make of what happened in oklahoma at that frat house where i thought david boren, former governor, former u.s. senator from that state, now the president of the university of oklahoma, basically cracked a whip? this guy threw the fraternity off campus, said as long as he's the president of the university, will never get back their fraternity house again. he condemned even casual conversations in which bad words are used, racist words. here's a video of the fraternity and what the members were doing at the university of oklahoma chanting racial slurs including the "n" word. the video was posted on youtube on sunday. here it is. >> you wonder what planet or century those young people thought they were on. they're paying the price. what did you think of boren? no bs here. he cracked the whip and said, you're gone as a fraternity. >> i think what the in

congress out of this. so the secret the point of protecting the secret is not to protect american national security interests, because the iranians know all the things that have been proposed to iran. it is to protect the administration's political agenda. that's interesting, david, what do you think about that? >> obviously congress should know once the detail is finalized, everything that's in the deal. but to suggest that benjamin netenyahu is a good-faith broker of what's inside the deal is absurd. his entire point is to try to destroy the negotiations. are we to take seriously that netenyahu will give a fair appraisal of everything that the iranians have conceded on. >> some have suggested that the prime minister might try to overblow whatever the evidence is to makt case against iran. >> the prime minister could brief the members of congress about what it's doing. this is a treaty in everything but name. treaties are suppose to be ratified by the senate and the administration is trying to create a narrative where it's benjamin netenyahu against america. again and again it's the administration that's be

cam bling magnate from los angeles, who is willing to put $100 billion in this race much the american congress is bout and paid for by the israeli lobby in america. >> if i may jump in here quickly, i'll pick up on your point. he's a master puppet ear. it doesn't goed well for the palestinians. the policies are a greater threat to israel security than iran's. nothing he says are good for the palestinians. nothing that congress does or says is good for the palestinians. if i may give you a couple of examples, and how sold the congress is. there's congress called - they were there to speak out. in it he illustrates that any member of congress if there's something to discuss, they do not vote for, each if they ab stain, they are counted as against, and that's the end of their political career. another gentlemen wrote a book a couple of years ago called the king's council. mr o'connell was the head of the c.i.a. satisfaction in cairo, tasked to clear king hossain in jordan. he said emphatically that binyamin netanyahu will not entertain any peace deal with the palestinians. let's leave it on those

danger we don't trust our neighbor and i'm going to do everything in my power to make sure the american congressi feel? >> well i think there's some truth to that but i think there's a deeper issue. this becomes a strawman argument, which is that obama trusts iran and we shouldn't trust iran. the who will part the this nuclear deal is we don't trust ran. we're going to instead the stations see how much ply ton yes, ma'am -- we're going to recon question the reactor so it's not being produced. and make sure the urain yen enrichment is under 5%. we can actually inspect them. that's a good thing. netanyahu has every reason tore worried about the existential state of the israel but i think he's exaggerating the threat and using it as a pretext to simply rally votes at home. >> mark -- >> he's misdemeanorling in american affairs. >> ben, very quickly, i have something i want you to address. >> is it a exaggerate when the supreme leader in iran says he wand to annihilate execute and wipe israel off the face of the earth and then you want people to believe they're going to play by the rules? those are

understand the goal was to do some of that, but send the message nothing would get done without the american congress that is not true. this is very interesting statistic. university of michigan study. 94% of international agreements this would be executive agreement, executive agreements between 1939 and 1989, from the last roosevelt term to end of reagan, that is insane number. that is how these things get done. >> i may help you out calling on a republican who understands why it was written but didn't think it was best way to do it. senator mccain. watch. >> what that letter did was tell the iranians that whatever deal they make that the congress of the united states will play a role. maybe that wasn't exactly the best way to do that but i think that the iranians should know that. that the congress of the united states has to play a role. >> all right. so the tool box included this letter for some republicans, a lot of big names signed on. a lot of big names didn't, kennedy. now you're hearing from senator mccain. your thoughts. >> i was talking to oliver north last night, he said, well if i was s

expansion of isis, and today isis is number onen my, and iran is not etch p we saw netanyahu and the american congress because he prioritized iran as the number one enemy and this is true of countries like saudi arabia, and gulf countries more generally. the foreign minister of saudi arabia today said that the offensive demonstrates that iran is taking over. he is very worried about this, but the united states, has become in a sense an ally of asaad interestingly enough. they worry that should they fall today, who is going to take damascus, who is going to take ham ma the major cities. and once they are ensconced in the major capitol cities, of this of syria they will never be forced out. how could america get them out of the major city? it would be extremely difficult. that's why they are saying you have to get rid of asaad in order to defang isis, the united states sanious we can't do that, we have to get rid of isis first, and then can we begin to think about taking down or replacing asaad. >> good to talk to you in thanks in dean. activists say at least 20 people have been killed after what appear

. >> couldn't you argue benjamin netanyahu is being used by the republicans and the american congress. look the subject matter. focus on the subject matter a second. if you were an israeli and you new iran the biggest enemy of israel supporting all this terrorist groups that haunt us and fire rockets at us would they blink twice in giving or sending or firing a nuke at israel? they wouldn't blink twice. they don't care what america thinks. it's his duty. prime minister benjamin netanyahu's duty to raise that red flag regardless of the criticism he may receive from one party or another. this is something deep into the future of israel. we went through one holocaust and won't go through another one. if he has to voice his voice, he has my support and the majority of the jewish people supporting him on this and hopefully understand it's not just our problem. we may be first, but the iranian regime doesn't like america. i've been there on september 11 and saw who was happy when i saw the two twin towers fall. it's this same regime in gaza and other places in the world. they are not your f

[applause] and israel is greatful to you, the american congress, for your support, for supporting us in so many ways especially in generous military assistance and missile defense including iron dome.

[applause] thank you america. thank you for everything you've done for israel. my friends, i have come here today, because as prime minister of israel, i feel a profound obligation to speak to you about an issue that could well threaten the survival of my country and the future of my people. iran's quest for nuclear weapons. we're an an kent people. in our -- ancient people. in four thousand years of history many have tried repeatedly to destroy the jewish people. tomorrow night, on the jewish holiday of purim, we'll read the book of esther. we'll read of a powerful persian viceroy named aman, who plotted to destroy the jewish people some 2500 years ago but a courageous jewish woman, queen esther exposed the plot and gained for the jewish peopl

we are starting to speak up more i think. >> the national congress of american indians, the national ndian education association just go right through them. how many native people they represent, how many people they are. have you been to a national congress of american indians association meeting? you go there and not one person is on the other side of the issue. that's our experience. for those of us to meet and make up these policies, we don't just invent them. we make them up because we all agree on this. >> that is fine. you are entitled to do that. you don't scare me certainly. you haven't heard people talking about sellouts or traders. -- or traitors. that is not productive. >> i am not uneducated or ignorant or needing help. it is like i said, it is such a divisive issue. it is one that i see the most where people are asking each other. >> thanks for coming. >> thank you. >> ignorance by divine, that is all i can say. ignorance by design. [applause] >> this will be our last. we are out of time. >> my name is rated -- my name is brandon. i thought the presentation and the panel

is he going to tell the american congress anything different than they already know from hearings andeting with the white house? what's the purpose of this? >> he didn't do that today. didn't provide any new information today. but he said the substance of the speech will be delivered tomorrow the more technical parts of his opposition or concern with the u.s. and the other members of the security council are doing. >> he's trying to be more diplomatic today. saying i regret this so partizan. trust me i respect president obama and his office which he needed to do. he needed to do for the domestic audience here and for the political audience back home. as he gets into nuts and bolts, they're openly distrusting, the accusations of lying. but the other players, philosophically this is a snapshot of who the president is and who the prime minister is. the president saying of course we'll negotiate. the prime minister says they're evil. you can never trust them. don't waste your time. >> so the question is if net netanyahu goes before the congress and explains why this is a bad deal gets spe

the new american congress shall we say. a lot of trouble just passing what many felt would be the mundane, the department of homeland security funding. speaker boehner this past sunday he acknowledged he doesn't have the easiest job in the world. >> do you like your job? >> most days. friday wasn't all that fun. but most days. >> why wasn't friday fun? >> oh, it was just messy. and i'm not into messy. >> so the question then is krystal, will it be the messy for the rest of the week the speaker's job and the conventional wisdom on capitol hill is republicans do not want to continue this department of homeland security fight because of how embarrassing it was on friday. that illicited editorials from many including the wall street saying it was hurting their opportunity with the new majority. so what happens now. the senate will move procedurally to do something the house wanted to do go to conference and reconcile the differences between both chambers, the department of homeland security bills an the democrats will stop that

damage maybe or the impact that this has already had and his controversial speech before the american congress with the american government? >> in terms of substance, that's an area where a change of leader would make a difference. herzog, the rival candidate, would certainly try to heal ties with the states and wouldn't have come to washington and spoke to congress opposes any deal that will get iran close to the bomb but wouldn't have confronted the administration quite so robustly shall we say. i don't think that there will be a massive shift in many other areas and the one area really where i came away from netanyahu is that he sees poll after poll that shows more israelis want him than herzog as prime minister. there's no doubt about that. there's this split on the right. there's all kinds of parties led by people who used to work for netanyahu now running against him. he's trying to get all of those right wing votes behind his likud party because he fears he won't get the chance to try to build the next coalition. >> david, kate and i cover american elections. we don't cover israeli elec
