chris: when? >> particular since this christmas day incorporation dent, the threat that was averted -- christmas day incident, the threat that was averted. the timing and the speeches, the content of the speeches have been strong. they've been substantive. i think what he's now trying to do is take the reins. and be the c.e.o. look, chris, he inherited a ridiculous post 9-11 structure. they're trying to rationalize it. we now know from at least the declassified report and what we've learned what's in the rest of the report is it's a mess. chris: jack condition did i learned after -- jack kennedy learned after the bay of pigs not to trust the military high command or the intelligence community baubs in the end there are no experts and you have to make the big call. how is he doing with the military? has he got the confidence of those guys? >> interesting. there was a lot of mistrust in the beginning. the military did not trust obama and he was very mistrustful of them and also the white house made

chris: we agree. >> chris, the problem is not toughness. i do think this white house is in some ways more conventional than we were expecting. the chief of staff was quoted saying we're all campaign hack. i'm pro hack. we love hacks here in washington. i do think a people barack obama was going to be a mover in washington. chris: he's got these rules, no lobbyist, nobody can become a lobbyist. he's still sticking to some of this, right? >> yeah. his campaign hacks are going to play more. he's going to be a lot less capable because this is an election year to do a lot of the things of that he set out to do. >> one traction is whether the obama army turn out the in the midterms the way they did in virginia and new jersey last year. chris: before we break, let's go to "saturday night live" and how they prospered these last years by portraying democrats wimps or worse. here's jimmy carter giving advice to michael dukakis in his 1988 campaign for president. >> i'm about to lose as bad as you did. maybe worse. how did you deal with it afterward?

>> chris: yep. g.o.p. congressional leaders say they did not know that you were releasing the book right now, a 12-step program for defeating the obama agenda, until they saw you selling it on tv. and former g.o.p. chairman said they can't believe that you personally are getting paid $20,000 for a speech at a time when your party is having such money problems. >> a couple of things here. one with respect to leadership, i thought that process had alredy been taken care of within the party and the staffing and all of that, they had been notified of that. for that, i apologize, i was not trying to blindside anybody in that regard. number two, the book was written in 2008. it was delayed because of production and other things. >> chris: let me take you up on that, because you keep saying that, and yet we went through the book yesterday. and there was reference after reference after reference to 2009. >>he book was updated because of the delay. it was supposed to come out in early 2008, march or april of 2008.

. >>> good morning, i'm chris jansing, in for alex witt. we'll have all of that and new laws in effect for this year. >>> but we begin this hour with the latest on the potentially huge winter storm. it's expected to hit northern new england states today. in portland, maine, a significant amount of snow is expected there and across the state. nbc meteorologist bill karins joins me now. bill, good morning. looks nasty out there. >> it depends where you're traveling. these are area that's get snow but this is a real busy time. a lot of people are trying to return from the holidays and the roads are horrendous. hearing about accidents on i-95 through connecticut, portions of rhode island and even up to massachusetts and maine. we had light snow overnight and it's kind of a fine, fluffy snow. so it's very slippery out there on the roads. that's probably the worst of it. this is going to be like this for the next two days. for that matter, feel it anywhere in the lower united states, lower 48 that is, the weather pattern stopped. what have you to

>> guest: both yes and no, chris. yes in ways we're probably going to see larger pockets of content in communities developing and languages that you and i might not recognize. so from our standpoint as westerners it might seem fragmented and yet on the other point, in choosing to the 300 million chinese users can use domain names in their language can hold the internet's unity together. there's been some discussions of art is developing alternative routes to the internet or what we call forking the root. one of the primary cause is people have cited for the interested match was was their inability to use their own native language and scripts in the internet. so, they'll be both a proliferation of different communities that you and i may not recognize with our language skills and characters that. at the same time, it will help the overall unity technically of the internet to continue. it'll be interesting to see. >> yeah, do you think that on that point, do you think it will by going with these internationalized domain

i'm chris jansing in for alex witt. at 11:00 eastern, 8:00 pacific, here's what's happening -- president obama explicitly blaming al qaeda today for the attempted bombing of a detroit-bound plane on christmas day. in his weekly radio address to the nation, the president revealed what the government has confirmed about the suspect. >> we know that he traveled to yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgen insurgencies. it appears he joined an affiliate of al qaeda than this group, al qaeda and the arabian peninsula, trained him, equipped him with those explosives and directed him to attack that plane headed for america. >> nbc news political director and chief white house correspondent chuck todd is covering the president, who is vacationing in hawaii. chuck, good morning. what do we know about this big meeting tuesday where the president's going to sit down with the head of all of the intelligence agencies? >> well, what we know is the president wants an explanation as for why all of that intell

they will call the foul on chris warren. >> mafirst: chris warren from deep. again, hedo ust sizes. np the defende sh playing off of him. four feet behind the line. money! >> eric: well, defensively, chris warren got handsy. they call him for the personal foul. he now has three. andy kennedy is going to take him out of the ballgame. no, he's not. he bals going to take dmpunrt.e cranston out of the game and bring in reginald buckne sh so warren is going to stay on the floor with three personal fouls. >> mark: i think he understands how to play with three. i tell you one thing that andy kennedy when you think about the ole miss team. they found some players in non-traditional ways. this gcall is from orland thre islorida, chris warren is. andy kennedy went down into islorida. signed him. he's been a great player for ole miss.

chris dodd stepping down will probably keep that seat democratic. and north dakota -- a popular governor, republican would probably win. >> what about new york state? >> rudy giuliani has chosen the private sector after his disastrous presidential race in 2008, which is probably good for republicans. george pataki, has flirted with it, but does not want to run. rick lazio is the only contender. but even an old ford -- even harold ford is considering running, and that is good news for republicans. david paterson, at the democratic governor, is by most accounts unelectable. in massachusetts, there is a good chance that a republican could defeat deval patrick, the governor. in delaware, a longtime former governor and congressman at large -- there is a lot of places where there is encouraging news for republicans. >> in massachusetts, the numbers are narrowing -- >> for ted kennedy apostasy. -- ted kennedy's sea. >> the pennsylvania seat held by all inspector could be in jeopardy, to -- heldy arlen specter could be in jeopardy, too. >> we have republica

>> ifill: chris, perhaps my favorite line in chris dodd's announcement today is when he said many politicians tell you they're quitting for their family but that's not what he's doing. >> i often say, gwen, one of the best speeches a politician typically gives is his or her last oneo one because they have the freedom to say what they think. i thought that was a great acknowledgement from someone in the political game for a very long time. i think amy is exactly right. there's a macro analysis, basically a 1 for 1 swap-- i'm sorry, that's the micro analysis. these come at a time when the democrats are nervous. as you mentioned, parker griffith changing parties. and four democratic house members deciding not to run for reelection, each in competitive districts. if senators dodd and durgan, whether they did it on a success day or over the a month retired, nose a vacuum are not that bad but the broad effect of all of these things happening, the house retiring, the party switch, and now in addition to the senators retiring, bill rit and you mentioned john cherry. all of that at once has an effect

i agree th chris on the connticut situation.ly has blumenthal not had a ra before but as chris pointed t he's been attorney general r 20 years. there's a long record ere, and th-- in a year where people are saying they don't really like the estabshment, they don't really le the incumben, that can be some fodder forhe republicans. >> ifill: let's take it ck to washington for aoment, amy. if you are hari ride, anyou lose two senators like ts on one day, what are you thking? >> you're thinking y have to get a lodone before the end of the year because the oddof me keepinvikt becoming expless less likely. and that might be an-- tt might give se incentive for some of these democrats o may sitting on the fence iterms of whether they're ing to support or not support census ece of legislation to say here'our last, st chance. if we want to put all these pie of slarkz certainly sothing like health care, this is our te to get it done. we can't expect to have th kind of margin a yr from now. >>fill : chris, democrats have been saying today m

chris?> okay, jim, thanks very much. >>> and today for the first time, the president is pointing the finger publicly at al qaeda in yemen. saying they are behind the failed christmas day terror attack. >> we know that he traveled to yemen, a country grappling with crushing poverty and deadly insurgencies. it appears that he joined an affiliate of al qaeda, and that this group, al qaeda in the arabian peninsula trained him, equipped him with those explosives, and directed him to attack that plane headed for america. >> he's talking, of course, about omar abdulmutallab. and we know this isn't the first time al qaeda in yemen has targeted the u.s. in the last couple of years they've bombed western hotels, restaurants, and in 2008, the u.s. embassy in that country. in two thank you, 17 american tailers were killed by a suicide attack on the "uss cole" which was docked in aden harbor. i'm joined by msnbc military analyst jack jacobs. good morning. let me ask you first your reaction to what you he

i'm chris jansing.oday, for the first time publicly, president obama has laid blame on al qaeda for the failed christmas day terror attack. the president now gearing up for a tuesday meeting with the heads of his intelligence agency. those agencies front and center in the debate over national security and missed warning signs. i'm joined now by former cia special agent jack wright and michael us acough investigative reporter for "newsweek." good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> michael, there's a report in news week that the president's terror briefing just three days before the christmas day attack made no mention of gemmen. any threats from there. even in light of the fact that there had been one strike against a militant training camp there, and another was in the works, should we be surprised? >> it is a bit surprising. certainly there was no mention of yemen in the written brief. whether it came up at the meeting is another question. and white house officials did not or administration offici

chris: go ahead. chris: john: he has been the most honest person i have ever heard on any program anywhere about this problem. i agree that the way we can really help mexico is concentrate on our country, the consumption in this country. if we stop the consumption here, no matter what it takes but stop it, it will automatically help mexico and everywhere else. thank you for taking my call. >> final thoughts. >> well, i think that our last question was very clear about this. if as she said quite rightly, we, meaning the united states, stop consumption. but the answer is no, you ñrwon. because you don't want to. because if you wanted to you would have done so already. this is something american society does not want to pay for. it is not just taxes. it is money and it is also everything that goes with it. more militarization of society, bigger police forces. more people in jail. more testing, more invasion of privacy in schools and colleges, all over. the united states doesn't want to stop consumption.

kobe bryant and chris miller discussing shooting fundamentals before the game. not good here. early in the first, kobe's first shot from the top and air ball i think he took advice from chris to stay the other way around. first quarter for the wizards. off a steal, mike miller ahead. he throws it down. washington down just one after one. early in the second, lakers started to pull away. lamar odom lobs one up for shannon brown, the putdown. l.a. outscores washington by 15 in the second. about led by 16 at the break. third quarter, kobe starts to put on a show. he start 0d-3 from the field. he turned it on in the second half. 11 points in the third on 4-6 shooting. also getting teammates involved like pau gasol. washington makes a run. deshawn stevenson the corner

chris dodd has a problem. think there's sort of a point, when the electorate has basically lost confidence in an incumbent that doesn't have a lot to do with the party but sort of the personal relationship and my sense is that voters in connecticut have hit the mute button on chris dodd that it's all self inflicted and he has nobody to blame but himself. i have a hard. even with, i put it this way. if chris dodd set aside the state general, i wouldn't have any doubt at all that he would hold on but with chris dodd i would put them as an underdog. guest: no. i don't know who's in worse shape. chris dodd or harry reed. their numbers are both terrible. they're both up in the upper 30's. lower 40's. these are political figures that have been around a long time. as charlie knows the voters no these people and it's hard to change them once the opinions of them are solidified so i don't know if he's in worse shape than harry reed. i think they're both going to have difficult raises. i'm just pleased to see charlie be

fox sunday anchor chris wallace joins us from washington.belated happy new year to you, mr. smith. >> it's cold there. and i guess, i don't know, temperatures on the hill seem to be getting kind of hot. how's things going? >> well, look, the economy is the big issue. as big as terror is and people are certainly concerned about that, all the public opinion polls show that the economy is the big issue. and, you know, winston churchill said there are lies, dam lies and statistics. and you can spin the economic situation any way you want. what republicans are saying the niths analysts said we lost ten times as many as we thought. the white house is saying we lost ten times more jobs in the first quarter of 2009 than we did in the last quarter. so, you know, things are getting much better. the job loss pace is moderating so it can be spun any way. but when you've got double digit unemployment and two, almost three million people who have lost their jobs since the economic stimulus went into effect, it's a tough, tough burden for the democrats to

chris connelly reporting there. i would love to travel in a zeppelin. wouldn't that be so cool. >> it seems it would be really fascinating. >> i think people think "hindenburg" when they think zeppelin travel. that was hydrogen, this is helium, it won't blow up, no worries there. >> the interesting thing i think that is there's no internal support as far as framework or anything like that. basically it's just a balloon and the only solid part is actually the passenger car. >> that's cool, we've got to arrange a ride in one of those. i want to do it badly. >> in a moment, how an unreleased michael jackson song got released. >>> an unlikely pair >>> this is momentous. it is the first "skinny" of 2010. >> i'm here to witness it. >> is it 2010. >> we'll figure it out. i'll say 2010. you can say twenty-ten. we'll cover our bases. so the first "skinny" story of 2010 involves michael jackson. perhaps the biggest "skinny" story of 2009. there's a new m.j. song. we had "this is it" which came out posthumously too. there's another new one. it's sort of the compil

chris, should the muslim community shop whining and just get it together and help our country more? >> that is exactly what i'm saying. i have yet to see rick levinthal put a barbecuing a n somebody's face and say thank you so much for turning in this terrorist. i have got to see one of these, some of these muslims come out and say i turned in this terrorist. >> greg: i would like to see rick levinthal out there in shorts down at the beach. >> that is bill keating's job. he wears the sandals in this country. >> to make the approach a little better and nicer they should make the burkas red, white and blue. >> you would welcome fbi scrutiny because that would mean people would actually care about you for once? >> you are saying i need to threaten you for the fbi to start sur veiling me? get it on video and make it happen. i'm in dire need of attention, greg. >> i care about you. >> you are a friend. >> greg: here is one thing that gets me mad. every time a marriage incident happens in the -- a major incident happens in the united states we are told that we have to be more mindful of t

chris, can you start for us? >> sure. there was a sort of grab bag of issues so i will pull some of them. i know greg will talk about them as well as the other panelists. the difference between online privacy and physical privacy is probably most obviously understood by thinking about how the fourth amendment is interpreted by the supreme court over the last 30 or so years. basically the court has said when you are in your home that is protected by the fourth amendment however all cyber information is by definition shared with someone else and the court said in a series of opinions such information along has fourth amendment protection by definition if you share it you didn't need to keep it private and that dates back to the 70's so you can see how over the last 30 years has not everything in all my world is shared with somebody with three is financial records even doctor's records everything is shared by someone, so as a result the fourth amendment no longer does and protect cyber privacy in the same way that it protect

we're talking about chris dodd, and he's not the only democratic senator bowing out. >> in the past 24 hours, two veteran senate democrats announced they're retiring, chris dodd who was facing a tough re-election bat nell connecticut and byron dorgan of north dakota. >> he said he didn't have a republican opponent yet, he said he wants to do other things, his retirement will mean an uphill battle for democrats to hold on to that seat. >> that means the democrats will be defending four open senate seat this is year, it's increasing the pressure on them and the president to get their agenda including health care approved this year. usually presidents in their first term lose seats in their midterm elections, it's clearly going to happen to obama. >> these democrats drank the obama kool-aid, and they're committing political suicide. >> have some perspective here, four democratic senators are retiring this year, but so are six republicans. on the weather front an arctic blast caused havoc across the country this week, two thirds of the nation experiencing record low temperatures. >>> snow

if chris dodd stood for re-election, that looked really, really tough. now, as i think, al or you said, blumenthal is a strong candidate. >> jornl, good week for democrats? >> not great week. it's not that bad for them yet. republicans are not going to control the senate. change one vote, suppose ted stevens were still in the senate instead of being out of the senate because of a tainted case of prosecutorial abuse. in the last four cycles, because we have redistricting. used to be the voters picked the candidates. now the candidates pick the voters. we have a 95% re-election rate among incumbents. >> i think you're seeing clear evidence of a couple of things. at the end of the day, setting aside the policy mistakes, once a president hears so many charges that stick and start to look incompetent. you've seen i it across the board. in terms of health care. the democrats are frustrated that the president is not standing up saying which is what i want to see happening. he's abdicated responsibility. i think that what you're seeing the democrats reading the

we are talking about chris dodd. he is not the only democratic senator bowing out. >> chris dodd facing a tough re-election in connecticut and byron dorgan announced they are retiring. >> dorgan said he didn't have a republican opponent yet. he said he wants to do other things. his retirement will mean an uphill battle for the democrats to hold on to that seat. >> the democrats will defend four open senate seats this year. it is increasing the pressure on them and the president to get their agenda and health care approved this year. >> usually presidents in their first term lose seats in their midterm elections, okay. that is clearly going to happen to barack obama. >> it's enough to make rush limbaugh's day. >> they are running for the hills, these democrats drank the obama kool-aid and they're committing political suicide. >> some perspective here. four democratic senators are retiring but so are six republicans. on the weather front, an arctic blast cased havoc across the country. 2/3 of the nation experiencing re

let's get details now from the weather channel's chris warren. hey, chris. >> hey, lester. you said it, this is going to end up being a nasty storm. now, we do have this area of low pressure that is offshore just south of nova scotia. the satellite radar combination showing that we are already seeing some moderate-to-heavy snowfall over parts of maine and into new england. what's interesting about this, instead of moving out, it's actually backing back into the region. meanwhile, we're starting to see some heavy snow over the great lakes with the lake-effect snow machine kicking in. this all after a record-breaking day for low temperatures. look at these numbers, minus 36 degrees below zero at international falls. so some of these records had been around since the '70s, the records that fell. this is some very cold air. snowfall totals will be impressive, both with the lake-effect snow, we could see more than a foot of snow in erie, pennsylvania. as we look into new england and maine, also some areas seeing more than a foot of snow like bangor. this is going to be going, in

byron york and chris hayes of the nation magazine. you're on the air.caller: yes, i think it's too much hoopla about that massachusetts election. that was just one seat. and democrats still have the majority. and what they do with it is the most important thing. we all just need to forget that we're republicans and democrats. i'm saying we're all human beings. and we need to care about each other and pull together. to make this a better country and the republicans keep saying, if they care about the grandchildren and children, but they don't act like it because what happens effects their family members and friends also. because all of them don't have good health insurance and good jobs. they all need for what millions of people need. good health insurance and good jobs. host: thank you, mary. we'll get a response. guest: lot of hoop louisiana caller makes a good point. democrats still have 59 votes. the thing that blew washington away was, combined the republican victories in the governors raises in virginia and new jersey this is a big deal and fact it
