but ahmadinejad has his visa. along with that baggage you mentioned. >> we were showing pictures of the warwick hotel, a posh hotel in new york city. that's where ahmadinejad and his entourage are going to stay. there will be protests outside the hotel later today, right? >> i think so. the warwick has been his latest place of residence. any group that opposes ahmadinejad has always denounced a new york hotel for allowing him to stay there. this has gone on. there was someone who was injured in a bombing who has sued ahmadinejad and iran and suing, i think, the warwick. i'm not sure. this is always the same. ahmadinejad's last time, possibly here. second term in office is now ending. as you mentioned, yes, he will have controversial remarks. but he has been, as we saw with piers, he's been giving more interviews. a little bit more public ahead of his speech. his swan song, the war wick is more on the west side of new york. new yorkers really don't get a chance to see him though he does schedule private meetings wi

i expected, as happens every year, ahmadinejad, well, i expect many different ahmadinejads. i expect the ones that has meetings like the two meetings i attended is kindler and gentler and the one that speaks in front of the general assembly is fiery to speak to that audience back home in iran or send the message to the world and didn't happen. he was pretty tame all throughout. i think what we were getting was a message of, we're reasonable and we're willing to talk and that sort of sets the stage for what will happen the u.s. election and early next year. >> you know, jim, ahmadinejad, really, he's on his way out. the iranian economy is in crisis and high inflation and money has been choked off by sanctions and many iranians are embarrassed. is he becoming irrelevant now that he is really a in the last nine months of his presidency? his leadership there? >> you know, deb, i think that's a good question. i think we as americans, we think iran and we think ahmadinejad. you know, it has always been the case that in the iranian system, it's not the president, it's the supreme l

ahmadinejad once again use his trip to the u.n.ple but to instead spout paranoid theories and repulsive slurs against israel. this is from aaron pelton. the u.s. delegation will not be there when president ahmadinejad speaks. we'll find out about the protesters. karen kalid is live in new york city. tell us about the protests. >> reporter: carol, if there was ever any question about how polarizing president ahmadinejad is, this protest is a testament to that fact. take a look behind me. this crowd is already in the thousands. expected to reach up to 10,000 today. we're not quite sure about that number just yet, and i should also mention that this is a combination rally, not just to oppose ahmadinejad and his message and his full speed ahead plan for a nuclear iran but also against bashar al assad and in favor of syria and stopping the civil war in syria. also among the protesters are those celebrating the fact that a revolutionary group known as mek has also been told as of last week that they are going to be removed from the state

demonstrators protested mahmoud ahmadinejad's appearance. >> mahmoud ahmadinejad, again does not represent us all. >> reporter: iranian-americans from across the country joined the protest. >> to send a message that the people of iran stand for democracy, human rights, secular nonnuclear iran. >> reporter: during his speech mahmoud ahmadinejad didn't address his country's nuclear program but did say his nation was committed to peace. here's a look at the weather in some cities around the country. partly sunny in new york. 72 degrees. miami a few thunderstorms, 88. mostly sunny in chicago, 66. partly sunny in dallas, 94. 83 in los angeles. let's check your national forecast. rain expected for much of the northeast and mid-atlantic states. scattered showers and thunderstorms will extend along the ohio valley and central plains. some of those storms can be severe along the ohio river. upper midwest and great lakes area cool and pleasant. west coast and south will be fair and pleasant as well. in sports this morning less than a week to go in baseball's regular season, in the tightest divisiona

what do we do about iran and president ahmadinejad? >> well, this clearly will be one of the most compelling issues that the next president faces, either obama in a second term or romney in a first term. as the president said today, there's still time and space to work this diplomatically. he's put down a very firm position that iran will not have a nuclear weapon. i think governor romney actually agrees with that. >> richard, one of the problems here of course is credibility on all sides, and the reason i say that, i discussed with president clinton earlier the comparisons to iraq. here you have another bad guy in the same kind of region who everyone says has wmd or wants to, in this case, get wmd. it turned out to be not true in the case of saddam hussein. he didn't have any weapons of mass destruction. can the west afford to go into any kind of military conflict with iran, with ahmadinejad, and then discover actually all he was saying turned out to be true? >> well, first of all, piers, the evidence is not just intelligence services

lou: i thought it was ahmadinejad was looking for lost souls for the new world order?birds of a feather. maybe fairer kind would like to go back with him. >> i will buy the one-way ticket. lou: this is a peculiar time we're morsi is the two most dominant personalities and the president is dismissing his rule. >> don't forget they went to a ron -- i ran. something is going on. with ahmadinejad and also throughout the mideast and is a very dangerous time for the president to step aside. >> i agree. i would pervert the president lecturing president morsi of bellevue's of the loom we give aid rather than the people of ohio. lou: but the money we give comes from tribeca -- china with no support. >> suni vs. shia. they kill one another and they want us to do the dirty work for our egypt and qatar wants us to take out to ahmadinejad. they want to be the power. they want us to do the heavy lifting. >> no question we are played for fools. but it seems the united states has not learned anything. >> one word wish we had heard of a terrorism and the least that happened on 9/11 and

ahmadinejad once again use his trip to the u.n. not to address the legitimate aspirations of the iranian people, but to, instead, spout paranoid theories and repulsive slurs against israel." now, they were there, a couple references, but not as much as you might expect about israel. they talked about zionism and the uncivilized zionist threats. that is what i heard. perhaps there were a couple more. it wasn't really, you know, let's attack israel at all. >> we're talking about ejust a minute's new president morsi. we know he has already visit d iran, and all eyes are going to be on him in terms of whether or not he really can control and rule his own country. what do we expect to learn from his address? >> well, you're right. i mean, in a sense he is kind of aligning a little bit many terms of iran too, but here's another man who could be talking about the economy and people who really need help. after all, don't forget that after the revolution, tahrir square where people in egypt really rose up and wanted to change during the ara

president mahmoud ahmadinejad will address the meeting on wednesday. he had blistering words at israel today. more on that in a moment. he took aim at the security council on the subject of iran's nuclear program. >> translator: we have business that some members of the security council with little rights have chosen silence with regard to the nuclear warheads of the fake regime while at the same time they impede scientific progress of other nations. >> president obama is in new york tonight ahead of his speech on tuesday, a speech that will condemn violent protests in the middle east and underscore his commitment to keep iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. meanwhile, with just 43 days to go until this country's election, mitt romney has campaigned in colorado. the latest national cnn poll has president obama with a four point lead over governor romney against the backdrop of the political race in this country and turmoil in the middle east, it seemed the perfect time to sit down with ahmadinejad at his world hotel for a world exclusive on everything

ahmadinejad is scheduled to speak to the u.n. on wednesday. it will be his last request to general assembly before his term ends next year. it could be his last major stance to repair international relations and iran's struggling economy. but few observers expect that to happen. hirohito nezu, nhk world, new york. >>> executives admitted to charges of covering up losses. on the first day of a trial, the former president of the leading optical equipment maker expressed regret. he said he had a hard time after learning about the cover-up but said he lacked the resolve to come clean. he also apologized to shareholders and employees. former auditor, and ex-vice president, also admitted to the charges. prosecutors said liolympus stard shifting losses from 1995 for win drdow dressing purposes and they said he knew fully about the massive cover-up. >>> analysts are crunching the numbers. they're revising their outlook for global economic growth. her warning reflects sluggish performances in china and other emerging economies along with europe's persi

what else did ahmadinejad have to say, jonathan? >> reporter: well, his speech, perhaps, wasn't quite as fiery as many might have expected, jon. nonetheless, he did take aim at his usual targets, israel and the u.s. he once again described israel as a, quote, fake government and said the israelis continue to threaten iran over its nuclear program which he has always said, of course, is entirely peaceful. as for the u.s., he said it was damaging and causing most of the world's problems, and he called in a rambling way for a new world order. listen. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: the current dismal situation of the world and incidents of history are due mainly to the banishment of the world and the self-proclaimed centers of power who haveinvoked themselves to the devil. the order that is root inside the anti-human cost of slavery and new and old colonialism are responsible for part of the progression; ignorance and oppression and discrimination in every corner of the world. >> reporter: the u.s. delegation, by the way, bo

ahmadinejad's comments earlier this week. described in a statement as paranoid theories and repulsive slur against israel. mr. ahmadinejad will now fly home aboard the iran air jet that is being waiting at joint base andrews. apparently kept there this week for security reasons. after president ahmadinejad made what is likely his last speech to the u.n. given he is due to leave office next summer, egypt islamist president mohammed morsi made his first. he criticized the american free speech laws that allowed an anti-islamic web video to be produced here. like the iranian leader he took aim at israel. >> translator: i call for immediate movement. serious movement. as of now. to put an end to colonization, occupation. >> reporter: president morsi also said the civil war in syria must end immediately. he said the regime of assad will fall and when it does the people of syria must and will choose their own democratic government. >> bret: jonathan hunt outside the united nations. thank you. top israeli official tells israeli newsp

today, mahmoud ahmadinejad, the president of iran. why he doesn't fear israeli attack, why he feels they would prevail in any war and his surprising apology to the people of new york. also on the show, bain capital. mitt romney's private he can quit firm is no longer so private, it is in the headlines, on the campaign trail, on your tv screen. what is it really all about? steve pagliuca one of those that runs the firm joins me. >>> just when we need it most. what is it? i'll explain. >>> and, finally, candidate barack obama of brazil? but first here's my take. president obama has sewed up the -- surged in the polls this week, and republicans have been quick to figure out the problem. mitt romney. peggy noonan said his rolling campaign has been a calamity. shouldn't it puz puzzle us that romney's campaign is so incompetent, given his reputation for, well, competence. after all he founded one of the leading firms, turned around the salt lake city olympics and was a very successful governor. how did he get so clumsy so fast? in fact, the

ahmadinejad is scheduled to speak to the u.n. on wednesday. it will be his last general chance to impair the recovery. nhk world, new york. >> he mentioned the drill u.s. forces are leading in the persian gulf. 34 nations in all are taking part. we went aboard a u.s. ship and mine sweeper to bring us this first hand look. >> reporter: this u.s. navy support ship was built 41 years ago and was due to be decommissioned earlier this year. the vessel was originally used to land troops but has since been equipped with mine sweeping duties. it has been deployed in the region since june. the ship is the center of the naval exercise which is aimed at strengthening the ability to keep shipping lanes open in the persian gulf. iran has threatened to choke off ship traffic passing through the strait of hormuz in the gulf. >> the exercised area is approximately 45 to 50 miles off of bahrain. we are -- how far? 80 miles from the iranian coast. >> reporter: speedboats of the iranian revolutionary guard play a key role in the country's strategies in the persi

yesterday and ahmadinejad speaks today.e next hour, the american muslim's response from the american islamic forum for democracy. joining us at 10:15. and elizabeth warren making headlines again, but do you remember this? >> in this country, who got rich on his own, nobody. you built a factory out there good for you, but i want to be clear, you moved your goods to markets on the roads to paid for. >> the woman who started the income envy debate with that rant. turns out she was getting paid by a steel company and that against the unions. could it be true? and that's not all. questions whether she's licensed to practice law. that is just one of our new at ten stories. and then we have barnes & noble. it's got a lighter and thinner e-reader. so, nicole, is the stock up? >> oh, yeah, the stock is up lighter, thinner, high def. you want 7 inches, you want 9 inches, want to be able to read in the dark and do you want a strong tablet at a lower price to compete with apple? this is the pitch and the stock is up 3%. stuart: and hav

therefore, this is the same policy during ahmadinejad. i mean, but they can use, they have better justification during ahmadinejad. they use holocaust and all this rhetoric which is very harmful for iran's national interests. my suggestion is this, any u.s. administration i hope after election, because we cannot talk before election -- [laughter] propose at least once after 33 years a comprehensive package including terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, peace process, israel, human rights, democracy, all these major points for the u.s. and iranians, also, they have their own shopping list. they, the u.s., also should be prepared to add iranian concerns. if it failed, then come to your public and say, it doesn't work to try. because you have never tried. the u.s. has never tried. >> okay. i've been asked to make this reminder for our listening audience and radio, you're listening to the commonwealth radio program, and our guest is ambassador mousavian, former foreign policy adviser to the iran supreme council. we had a number of question

earlier, president ahmadinejad met with u.n.ecretary-general who warned him against incendiary rhetoric. iran's president is ignoring that warning completely once again. >>shepard: he will speak before the general assembly on wednesday. >>jonathan: there are a lot of very interesting speeches to watch and listen to this week. the day after president ahmadinejad speaks, israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu will speak. that is likely to be a call to arms for the entire world, to unite against iran's nuclear ambitions. of course, there are also speeches by the leaders of many of the countries that have gone through the so-called arab spring. among them is egypt's new islamic president who is likely to touch on the violence that gripped his and other countries recently in the wake of that allegedly antiislamic video. secretary of state hillary clinton touched on that in a speech at her husband's clinton global initiative and said the world must unite against the violence we have seen. >> unity on this throughout the internation

the president of ahmadinejad took the podium at the u.n.al assembly and while his speech was not as fiery as some of those in the past, he still did say his vision of the world's future does not include the united states or israel. listen. >> the koran -- situation of the world better incident of history humanely iran's management of the world and the self-proclaim sensors of power who have entrusted themselves to the devil. >> shepard: just yesterday the iranian president called israel a fake regime that needs to be eliminated. outside the u.n., thousands of protesters rallied against the iranian regime and many jews voiced anger that ahmadinejad spoke at the u.n. on yom kippur, the holiest day on the jewish calendar. among them benjamin netanyahu who will address the general ablem-eye assembly tomorrow. on yom kippur eve sacred to the jewish people tyrant chose to call publicly -- those who chose to remain in the auditorium and hear those hateful words. "the fox report's" correspondent jonathan hunt is with at the united states tonight. h

. >>> coming up, president ahmadinejad's provocative opinions about israel. he explains what he meant when he said it should be wiped off mr. president, welcome to new york. many americans see you as public enemy number one. how do you feel about that? >> translator: the creator, the almighty, the most gracious and the most merciful. and good morning to you. i wish to greet all of the wonderful people of the unitedstates and all of the people who will see your program. at the end of the day, if you do have personal animosity towards me, don't transfer that on to the rest of the people of the united states. we love the people of the united states, and they also wish in return peace and stability for all of the world. >> the big catalyst for protests at the moment in the middle east was the video that was released which mocked the prophet muhammad. as a result, there was an attack as you know on the american embassy in benghazi, libya, the ambassador christopher stevens was murdered. do you condemn the attacking which caused his murder? >> translator: fundament

ahmadinejad is also peaking to our own piers morgan. here is what he said about strong hints from israel that it might attack iran's nuclear facilities. >> translator: the response of iran is quite clear. i don't need to explain that. any nation has the right and will defend herself. my question is this. why should the world be managed in such a way that an individual can allow himself to threaten a rich and deeply rooted historical ancient country such as iran. >> so piers morgan joins me on the phone. busy guy today obviously with this interview that you will have for tonight. with all of the rhetoric that has been ramping up this argument lately particularly israel's pressure on the u.s. to create this red line when it comes to iran and the nuclear issue. did this interview with ahmadinejad seem different? did the tenor seem different? >> i think a lot of it is the same in relation to israel. what you are faced with is a dangerous game of bluff and double bluff. the bluff being that netanyahu believes that iran is developing uranium

the last time, possibly, that guy, mahmoud ahmadinejad, enters the united states. ever. it is likely the iranian's president final speech to the u.n. attacking the united states and railed on israel calling its people "uncivilized." this is the holiest jewish holiday of the year. both presidential nominees crossing paths in ohio today. voters in ohio cast ballots in days. we will look at the poll that shows a candidate leading well outside the margin of error. the rising cost to stay in touch. smartphones can be expensive. we know that. just wait until you hear how much they are cutting into a lot of family budgets. that is all ahead unless breaking news changes everything. this is "studio b." first from fox at 3:00 in new york city, the iranian president, ahmadinejad, today delivered what could be the last antiisraeli american and antiisraeli ranting in front of the u.n. the american delegation did not walk out. the american delegation never even showed up. they were out before he took the podium. the president, ahmadinejad, has less than a year left in the second and f

so i think it's going to be a tough week for ahmadinejad. i don't think he's going to find much support at all in new york. >> we know israel has been putting pressure on president obama to have this line where he clearly states what cannot be crossed without strtriggering a severe and quick consequence. he said i'm going to meet with you and ban ki-moon, steven harper who have recently made a moral and brave decision against iran and with u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton i'll reiterate the most dangerous country in the world must not be allowed to arm itself with the most dangerous weapon in the world. what do you make of that? >> well, i think that the prime minister is right, that iran is the most dangerous country in the world. and the number one threat to the united states is iran acquiring a nuclear weapon. the suggestion by prime minister netanyahu that the united states should set a red line and say in advance that we would use force if iran achieved a certain level of progress in its nuclear effort doesn't make a lot of sense

right to discuss ahmadinejad's address in more detail we're joined live by jim ella d. the policy director of the national iranian american council always good to see you here now mr ahmadinejad said the u.n. conference form is duties imposts only because it's dominated by a tight in a circle of world powers is this paranoia all does he have a point well if you look at what's happening inside of iran really if you there are sanctions that are taking an extreme toll on ordinary people there is a sense that there could be imminent strikes whether the strikes threaten by bibi netanyahu or u.s. strikes that president obama referred to in his address and so i think that if there is a sense of being surrounded inside of iran that it is an accurate reflection of what is happening that being said you know. it is a marginalized political figure he's a president who's on the last leg of his presidency he's not somebody who has a lot of clout inside of iran and i think that all the attention that's given to this speech actually. you know aggrandize his position on the world stage

mahmoud ahmadinejad is a fascinating character. whatever you think of him, love him, loathe him he commands attention. oddly today he seemed to be on his best behavior. what do you read in to that? >> his speech was more reasonable this year, reasonable by mahmoud ahmadinejad's standards, not normal standards. after all, he suggested 9/11 was some kind of dark conspiracy and for him to accuse other countries of nuclear responsibility is a little bit rich. i think he has been under pressure at home frankly for his wackiness. a lot of iranians are embarrassed by the bad press he brings his country. he's almost at a time he will be out of office in a year from now. he is losing power within the country. i think he's a declining force. >> does the president of iran really have much power? >> it depends on the situation. the supreme leader the ayatollah is the person running the country. if the president has the supreme leader's confidence or if the supreme leader is ill then the president could. right now there's real tension between t

next, what mahmoud ahmadinejad told u.n. general assembly meeting this morning. and why the u.s. delegation didn't hear a word of it. >>> in the presidential campaign both focus on a key swing state today. i work at the cable company, and i get to wear a hard hat... a question already! my mom says cable can't bundle cell phones all on one bill. nobody does that. mom says at&t does, so... uh...uh...
