professor of modern european history at the university of maryland and in san francisco we cross to charles small he is the director of the yale initiative for the interdisciplinary study of anti-semitism and another member of our cross talk team yell on the hunger all right gentlemen cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump any time you want and i don't want to be filibustering first i'd like to go to you charles in san francisco we hear a lot about the new anti-semitism today what is the new anti-semitism and how pervasive is it so i would say in a nutshell the new anti-semitism is an amalgamation of the different forms or strands of anti-semitism historically there is an element that is religious based that comes from the past there's also anti semitism to in some places that are still sort of biologically determined the racist type of anti-semitism and i think that the new anti-semitism really has as its focus the demonization and the deal with them as a sion of israel and there's a correlation between the two i did an article with a colleague edward copland and we showed we i

wants to jump in and say this is you know this is going to seriously i mean for charles go ahead of john. thank you thank you very much i think i would like to go back to jeffrey's very important points earlier when you before he addressed mormons comments and he was just about to engage in no i think i would agree with jeffrey we should read the hamas charter it's amazing that there's a political social movement coming out of the iranian regime that the iranian people but this corrupt regime that supports hamas and hezbollah and others around the world with the alarmist perspective and lot more islam is not islam but radical political islam which mazing lee in the name of trying to rid the region of all others all jews all chris. gins all gay people subjugating women and the like they use the protocols of the elders of zion if it wasn't so serious the hamas government and some of the statements coming out of the regime would almost be like a monte python skit but it's deadly and it's serious and the regimes of iran the hamas and hezbollah are using classical forms of european genoc

can we talk about that scholarship now peter about that yes i well norman i'm sorry charles go ahead because scholarship was mentioned here although there's a lot of competing scholarship out there norman go ahead ok so jeff her mentions robert we're still choose a book i don't fracture of her role there were raving blurb for the book the book is called lethal obsession now happens i purchased a copy of the book it's about twelve hundred pages and i looked and i know this my name probably i'm the exhibit number one of the new anti semitism there are more entries for me in the book than there are for david duke there are more entries for me than there are for eichmann there are more entries for me than are are for david irving so let's see look at. me the book we're dealing with. the book jeff her book the book that mr her indorsed because since the book that you just named you said robert we're stretched his book so let's look at it. he says the american self hating jew and i'm a holocaust and i'm a holocaust denier well this is the book they're cefn i mentioned so let's talk about i

in any measurable he was going to do spank their cockroaches you made your point thank you charles go ahead and i want to go to jeff after that i think that. i think that what's in amazing there's a sort of a relativism and i'd even say a kind of a paternalistic colonial type of remnants of racism here we have to study as professor her photos and others the ideology of hamas of hezbollah of the regime and respect it and take it very seriously and understand that it's not just about blaming the victim i think there's been a tendency in the in western philosophy and historically to blame victims were used to blame the victim the women who were raped we used to as a society blame them the more they were there they were doing if african-americans or other people were marginalized and unemployed we used to call them lazy we used to blame them and now for mr finkelstein to actually blame israel the jewish people for anti-semitism is unbelievable he's almost like the chief buthelezi of the anti-apartheid movement who used to say everything was ok and so that africa when we knew it wasn't the

do you agree with charles? >> well, i think as i read it, bill, he -- there is no question the tax bill is good policy and really smart politics. no question about it. he has moved to the right. any time you have a left leaning president like obama fighting the left, he moderates himself and comes across as somebody that the middle class, the independents can kind of take a look at and say he is in the right packet. but today 23% of americans think we are going in the wrong direction. this one act is not going to do it. he is going to have to continue to governor from the middle. is he willing to do that? i don't think so. >> charles says it's a brilliant move ms. pfotenhauer. because the president has done it, that his re-election chances have risen and you say? >> well, i said he had to do something. i mean with his disapproval ratings at 53%, he was in danger of becoming irrelevant. he is definitely kind of cleared that hurdle and made the presidency relevant again. i'm not sure i agree with charles on his p

charles? >> it depends on what you think about obamacare. it is the biggest piece of legislation probably in 50 years. if you think, as i do, that it is not good for the country, and that we will spend years rulin it, then you think it is a disaster. if you think national health care is a way to go, then you think it is great and historic. >> mark? >> the list of things you went through is impressive for the congress. obviously, the reality is all backdrop to the fact that when the economy is bad, the economy is mainly the issue. >> colby, a success or failure? >> a roaring success, especially given the context that this congress came in two years ago, the worst recession since the depression. economic uncertainty. look at the legislation that has been passed. we reformed wall street. they saved the automobile industry. they passed legislation that provides health coverage to 30 million people. we have the start treaty with russia. we have stimulated the economy and we have seen the signs of economic improvement. you cannot just take one ite

those words were carefully chosen by charles krauthammer. he's anointing man of the center left and a man of the not have a yeah i'm not sure that that's something nat white house ultimately wants the comfort from. >> from charles krauthammer. >> it's an odd moment where you have two times in a row that charles krauthammer, he's a very smart guy. first -- >> honest -- guy too. >> honest guy. first he blessed the tax deal last week and anoints obama to be re-elected. i thought so fascinating that that got so much attention and the white house was even in the position of taking note of that guy. >> you notice that the president's left-handed. >> yes. >> bill clinton was left-handed, what does it tell you. >> they're creative. >> it tell me absolutely nothing. what does it tell you? >> that was a trick question. >> that you want to be on the other side of him at lunch so you don't bump -- >> look at that smile. that happy smile. look at this joe biden there, there's jack lou, budget director. old pal of mine, current pal, as well. interesting.

prince charles' security detail was overwhelmed by protestors. in a "dateline" interview this past august, the prince of wales did not seem overly concerned about his safety. >> and you don't have terrible security compared to our president, but at least you can walk around. >> no, no, no. but it's a difference. i think the president, it must be a nightmare with the amount of security. >> reporter: tonight, prince charles might have welcomed some extra protection. the current government could be hoping for some themselves in the next election. brian? >> a wild day in london today. stephanie gosk covering it all. stephanie, thanks for your reporting tonight. >>> in this country, news tonight about health. first, the big headlines about the state of women's health in america. it is dismal in a word. that's what a new report says tonight. more women than just a few years ago are too heavy, have bad blood pressure numbers that are too high and are throwing back too much alcohol. our chief medical editor dr. nancy snyderman has our details. >> reporte

charles?gh-handedness on part of the current speaker pelosi. it will have no effect because the senate has spoken. mcconnell wisely in a timely way played the trump card he's been holding, which is he has enough senators to block anything. he will unless the tax cuts are done. i'm not sure it matters who the representative is in the negotiations. the fact he chose the representative gives him the space and the distance to concede to the republicans an extension on the bush tax cut s because he will say my negotiation, that my negotiators met with the republican negotiators and we came to a compromise so it's going to look very congenial. i think it will help him. a way for him to distance himself and i think it will work. >> bret: cut this pam in half. more on the dream act, don't don't repeal. we'll -- "don't ask, don't tell" repeal. we'll pause >> bret: still working there on capitol hill. back with the panel. other things in the lame duck session, extension of unemployment benefits, julie.

charles krauthammer among em. about this bill. to quote the column, president obama pulled this off at his lowest political ebb after the shambles of the election and with no bargaining power, the republicans could have gotten everything they wanted on the bush tax cut retroactively in january without fear of obama veto. he walks away with what even paul ryan admits $313 bill in superfluous spending including subsidy for ethanol. how do you respond to that? >> my friend charles and i love washingtonites but he's wrong on this. 97% of the bill was republican policy, 12% was democratic policy and balance was discussion of payroll tax discussion which was originally republican idea. we have eliminated the tax issue for the next five years. when you have '96, anytime you put tax cut in bill democrats would say you are taking money from mouths of babe to give tax relief to millionaires. we settled the tax question and it's over. for the next two years all we'll do is talk about cutting spending and debt, which is what the american peop

charles limburg tall, slender, shy and amiable took off not far from new york city. he would be the first to fly alone across the atlantic ocean. >> his flight really fixed aviation in the mind of the general public. i mean, from that point forward, late may of 1927, the world realized that aviation really meant something. >> reporter: and from now on anything that he did or said regarding aviation, the world was watching and listening. and he visited oakland's airport he legitimated the airfield. in 1927, san francisco's mills field just across the bay was being described as a dismal swamp. in that same year, charles limburg came to the oakland airport and called it the finest, most modern airport in the country. now, what would make him say that? in that pivotal year the oakland airport became aviation's home base for historic flights. in june, army lieutenant's lester mattland and allan took off from oakland bound for hawaiian. 25 hours and 30 minutes later they touched down setting the world record. in august of 1927, the ill- fated dole pineapple race from oakla

. >> charles, is this good for the country? >> sounds like he does not like it. but i don't either. if you think adding $1 trillion to the deficit at a time when we are drowning in debt is a good idea, i don't think so. >> nina? >> i guess i think it is good for the country because i actually really worried about the depths of the recession and a very slow recovery. in the long run, being this profligate is not good for the country. and undoing a tax cut is one of the most difficult things. it will be very difficult for president obama to do that. if it works the way it is supposed to and boost the economy a bit, let's see in a couple of years with anybody wants to do anything about the deficit. >> evan, democrats and republicans on the same page. are you pleased? >> as a mushy centrist, yes. [laughter] but it is like watching an alcoholic take one more drink before he quits. it is worthwhile if it is leading to something. if president obama comes out of the state of the union and says we will get serious about tax reform or the deficit, if it is a precursor to something, it is ok.
