we are looking at new video of clinton immediating with palestinian president in the west bank. earlier clinton israeli prime minister and later today clinton will travel to cairo to meet billion egypt's president. as the united nations today the council will hold an open debate. the move comes after the united states blocked adoption of a unanimous press statement. it did not criticize the rocket attacks by hamas. >>> protesting nudist were both seen and heard in san francisco. they were trying to send a message to the board of supervisors after it decided to ban public nudity. >>> some people will enjoy their thanksgiving feast a day early thanks to a restaurant in sausalito. avatars restaurant expects to dish up 1300 meals to those in need. the owner and family who serve the free meals from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30 or until everyone is fed. on the menu pumpkin and turkey enchiladas it has been a 24 year tradition for the restaurant. >>> your time now is 6:36. it's rainy on the commute. sal is watching all the roads. how are we doing? >> we are okay. as a matter of fact, we don't have

we have had a certain point where the clintons, clinton helped elect obama. obama called him immediately. if obama can adopt a clinton's second term, they will be very strong because clinton finished with an enormous plurality in the economic side of things. he had a tremendous run as president. most people say if bill clinton were running this time, he would have run bigger than obama won. the public likes him and the like hillary. she has been a great secretary of state. even the opponents like her. she would be a very strong candidate i think. i would encourage her to run and i do not think she would have any opposition. i know that governor cuomo of new york and the governor of maryland -- tavis: will biden run? how long do you think -- she has the name recognition. >> she will be 69. tavis: as long as she has -- does not declare in or out she is handicapped in the field. how long does she have to have to make a decision? >> this is interesting. i am wondering about 2020. i am confused because i think chelsea were wound -- will run. grandson.orge bush's he is a great little kid. how

here outside the new york presbyterian hospital, where president bill clinton is scheduled to go through surgery. >> so i immediately went down to our local hospital. and they did a test. they said you have real problems. they hustled me down to columbia presbyterian, and they confirmed the determination that i had serious blockage and needed the surgeries. >> the doctors immediately knew, options were limited. the fifty-eight-year-old clinton needed to have his heart stopped and surgery performed. >> there was no procedure to reverse what was in his blood vessels. >> all i remember happening, everybody who cared about me was scared. and i felt rather serene. >> on labor day in 2004, mr. clinton had four blood vessels bypassed. >> starting this morning, at about 8:00, he had a relatively routine triple bypass operation. we left the operating room around noon and he is recovering normally. >> well, it hurt like the devil for about three weeks. and it hurt so much that i had a hard time even watching movies, much less reading. and then when i started again to exercise, and i forced myself out, i mean like the first da

secretary of state hillary clinton earlier today calling for quote unquote immediate u.s. intervention to put down israel's aggression is that a bit of a turning of the tide there to see such a statement from going to washington in reference to what's going on on the gaza strip. no i don't think that's a great surprise look we have a relationship with egypt we speak to them and they they say trust directly similar things and to be expected nobody wants this to degenerate to the point that it's got to today nobody wanted this we've been saying and we continue to say for the last four years to the palestinians to the palestinian authority come back to the negotiating table all of the issues on the table every single one will resolve this it will be difficult but will resolve this and will do so because it's in our mutual interest are to have pulled on a spokesman for the israeli foreign minister in tel aviv i wish about we have more time for this we don't have a thank you very much indeed for coming on the r.t. program today thank you want to get a live update on the situati

although nobody answered the door, the protest drew major press coverage and led to an immediate shift in hillary clinton'snd patty murray of washington. the two lawmakers agreed to send a letter to their women colleagues in the senate, urging them to attend a meeting with low-income leaders. it was a very exciting time for these women, to have a chance to not only just share what their experiences are or have been or will be on public assistance, but to really talk about some solutions that can really work to reduce the poverty levels in this country. poussaint: an even bigger victory came a week later when the senate finance committee passed a welfare bill that included most of the provisions the national campaign had been fighting for. the way that the senate finance committee was able to come together and pass this bill just shows that folks from the communities can make them see our point of view. some of america's most effective interest groups are local grassroots organizations dedicated to a single cause, and when the issue is resolved, they generally disappear. lacking financial resources and perm

presbyterian hospital and in just a couple of hours president bill clinton, former president is scheduled to undergo surgery. >> so i immediately went down to our local hospital and they did a test. they said you got real problems. they hustled me down to columbia presbyterian, and they confirmed the determination that i had serious blockage and needed the surgeries. >> the doctors immediately knew. options were limited. the 58-year-old clunton needed to have his chest opened, his heart stopped, and surgery performed. >> there's no medical treatment for reversing the obstructions he had already formed in his blood vessels. >> they got hillary and chelsea there and all i remember is it happened fast and everybody who cared about muss was scared and i felt rather serene. >> on labor day he had four blooz vessels by passed. >> starting this morning around 8:00 he had a relatively routine quadruple by pass the operating around noon, and he is recovering. >> it hurt so much that i had a hard time even watching movies much less reading. then when i started again to exercise and i forced myself out -- i mean, like the first day try to

hillary clinton has left cambodia today to head to the middle east to try and help bring an end to the violence raging in the region. as the death toll surpasses 100 in gaza, there are no immediate signs that either side is ready to embrace calls for a cease-fire. rocket fire is now entering its seventh day there. the white house says secretary clinton will meet with israeli prime minister netanyahu in jerusalem. palestinian authorities in ramallah and later travel to cairo where officials are said to be proposing for a truce. >>> egyptian president mohamed morsi is seen as a critical player. he met yesterday with u.n. secretary ban ki-moon. turkey's prime minister complicated matters when he reefr referred to israel as a terrorist state after attending talks in egypt. president obama spoke by phone yesterday to both morsi and netanyahu during his trip to southeast asia. in gaza hamas is calling for israel to stop killing its leaders and end a six-year blockade. meanwhile, new explosions continued through palestinian territory. they say they targeted the national islamic bank which they accuse hamas of using to pay its employees. an nbc analysis found israel has killed nearly 40

secretary of state hillary clinton and on the so called on board freeze release and palestinians to put their weapons down immediately and get to the negotiations deeble at the same time he outlined that moscow is in talks with both sides of this conflict and he's called on everybody else to do the same to give way for all the possible diplomatic solutions to this be it in cairo or at the u.n. security council which pretty much reflects the main point of the draft resolution put forward by russia. and then go the israeli parliament told me that the government has unnecessarily escalated the confrontation with how much we have two billion mind that not all the civilians in gaza in gaza. are how mad they are civilians and deserve a normal life exactly the same here. so we are as politicians in israel exert pressure on our government we've think that this confrontation has been. and it's we call it electioneering actually it's likely leadership in new lived with was a mutual shelling between gaza and israel for a long time. chose this time to. assault on gaza in order to get. from this confrontation coming elections and

jennifer flowers says she has had a 12 year love affair with bill clinton and has the tape recording to prove it. hillary steps in immediately and take over. and in the sperling breakfast, on 60 minutes, after the superbowl, the largest tv viewing audience you can imagine and they are magnificent and hillary is the one who says i love this man, we have had a good marriage. there have been problems but we are going to stay together because we believe in each other and we believe in our common goal. she literally rescues that presidential candidacy. at that moment in time his poll numbers had plummeted because of the flowers charges. now they come back up and during that period of time he is talking about hillary as his coat president. two for the price of one. in other words her rescue of him, increasing her leverage, her ability to make a huge difference, that is the context in which they enter the white house. there are a series of issues with them taking place, largely assumption of the new relationship that has existed where in fact hillary is acting the role of co-president. she insists on having an office in the west wi

secretary of state hillary clinton and when you saw her office called on board fees release and palestinians to put their weapons down immediately and get to the negotiations deeble at the same time he outlined that moscow is in talks with all sides off this conflict and he's called on everybody else to do the same to give way for all the possible diplomatic solutions to this in cairo or at the u.n. security council which pretty much reflects the main point of the draft resolution put forward by russia. we are following developments in the middle east conflict and online where we've got a dedicated section for live updates and comment on. this come this hour the formation of sea where is new opposition coalition still fails to get eyes the rebels isn't this point is in aleppo seems to recognize the plot while a growing number of western states see it as representing the syrian people. on the front in that we are in whales where residents of belong to the by tests of britain's closely craft knowing the machines will assist in remote control plane abroad as a show like. texas wants to pull away from the usa in fact at least twenty

and hillary clinton, friends of hillary clinton say, that they expect her to leave immediately after the president's first term is over, in early january. so time is really running out on that, george. i would expect a decision on this very soon. certainly well before christmas. >> rice will be meeting with more senators today? >> reporter: that's right. including bob corker, another big critic, who said she's better suited to be the dnc chairman. the chairman of the democratic party than the secretary of state. she's not shying away from her critics. >> another tough meeting ahead. thanks, jon karl. >>> let's get more from abc's security correspondent, martha raddatz. martha, this comes at a critical time. not only is secretary of state clinton leaving. also, the secretary of defense, leon panetta. and of course david petraeus out at the cia. all these vacancies are happening when there's a lot of hot spots in the world bubbling up. >> there are, george. this is a critical time. the election may be over. but look ahead. you have iran, who is trying to acquire a nuclear weapon. you h

the winner, as you said on one hand immediate windsor president morsi, his victory will be a political and diplomatic one of words of secretary clinton and other commentators are clear, he will have more -- in the u.s., when i look at, it has been framed as the stabilizing force in middle east, and what comes with it also it next debate about foreign aid to egypt, who will contribute side now morsey in washington, including congress about foreign aid. shy the guarantor of this agreement, and last, iran will emerge as a long-term victor of this because iran is arming hamas, iran is moving to make sure that issues would be deflective from syria to gaza, so the long-term victor is iran, immediate term viktor is morsey and hamas. lou: eli, is there with this ceasefire, perhaps seeds of greater violence? i mean, there is about iran, sense they have benefitted, they have won an advantage in this short-term, we'll see where it leads ceasefire there is also, the new strength in standing of morsi, so long as he can hold it together. this is a shift, that we've not seen before. your thoughts? >> well, my sense of it is it, that netanyahu in so

immediately. whenever a candidate says i'm not going to answer that attack, it doesn't work. bill clintond that in 1992. that is where the phrase war room came from. any tech company responded to immediately. e-mailing in the internet, if you remember that great movie, you see it on the phone all the time. always making sure that they respond immediately to attack. that aspect of how you respond to an attack has a great deal to do that. you never want to look like you're on the defensive. yet you always want to be defending yourself. >> last question? >> so like the 1952 election with eisenhower with a cartoon -- even if the candidate can control the advertising, what candidate would make themselves into a cartoon? what into a cartoon? would explain the change in jonna? >> is a question of what works at the time. there are animated spot these days. but they are usually web videos. these ads seem effective, but 20 years now people will laugh at the antiquated techniques that were used. they have the style of that time. i didn't have to show -- i didn't have time to show the knicks and ads

clinton is coming to my district today to personally campaign against me. i need your support right away. please go to my website right here and make an immediateas if he's a hurricane himself, right? >> one of the interesting things that i think you've seen from republicans is they have in some ways embraced bill clinton as well. one of the oddest moments i had on the campaign trail was hearing newt gingrich praise bill clinton. i was like, did you actually live through that presidency? there was such lava heads. i think it's in some ways backfired with them embracing bill clinton as a moderate and trying to fame president obama as carter because that was very much poking the bear and you saw that the bear very much bit back. >> the bear has woken. the bear has woken. nia-malika henderson and ana marie cox, thank you both for joining me tonight. >> thank you. >>> coming up, more evidence that moderate mitt is a complete mit. here's what he says about women's rights behind closed doors and it is not about the binders. system and the world's only tridion safety cell rights behind closed doors and it is not about the binders. wh rights behind clo

. >> your immediate question, yes, we were better off han the depths of being in a whole. president clintonhe argument that we were climbing out. by that time election day, the percentage of people is of the country going in their right correction, saw the economy improving, higher than has been, ronald reagan when he was reelected. lou: i don't have the time. >> he was there. lou: this is the -- why did he call -- mixing his old boss. why did he not call first governor chris christie who gave him the photo op, four and half hours and a big hug there was persuasive to just about 15 percent of the voters. should that not have been his first document. >> probably did not want to run again. facing a lot of questions like those. lou: there are no questions. a man and it is president the gilded photo, embedded in the minds of 15 percent of the voters. >> i agree. i said that before. as said it would happen. i thought that was going to be a big factor, and it turns out it was. i don't think it ends up deciding the election. lots of other things that ended up, but there is no question that having

in american polit for a president to be elected and the opposition to immediately try to delegitimize him, it began with bill clinton in 1992. it followed with george w. bush in 2000. and it began anew for the next democratic president, barack obama, in 2008. the hatred, the vitriol that was constant just as it was for his predecessors, but really that must be what makes this re-election, this convincing re-election, seem so sweet for this president and the millions who voted for him. >> yeah. we saw from the results on tuesday that the demonization and the infection that you just alluded to that has so crippled much of our politics, both in the cities and in towns that we live in as well as, obviously, in the congress has not really overtaken the entire process. barack obama was re-elected, and we have been told repeatedly in print and on these programs that this particular president is very difficult to access emotionally, that he is reserved, that he is withdrawn. and you saw there in that clip the president of the united states tearing up before a group of people who have spent an enormous amount of time helping

now, clinton isn't necessarily taking on this diplomatic mission alone. u.n. chief moon is calling for an immediate cease-fire. he is helping negotiate from cairo. >> thank you very much. as we mentioned, president obama wrapping up his tour of asia by coming face to face with china's growing economic power. this morning he sat down with china's outgoing premier during the southeast asia summit in cambodia. it is likely the president's last meeting with the premier, who is stepping down, along with the president. in china leadership changes every ten years. now, coming up at 6:30 in morning, hear why the president says he is committed to working with china despite the ongoing strain between the two economic superpowers. >> a lot of international news going on right now. keeping our eye on that. 6:06. christina loren is keeping an eye on the skies and weather happening right now. >> you just saw christie smith live out there at the port of oakland. wind speeds sustained at 13 miles per hour. we certainly noticed that wind gusting out there. that can make for a very rough commute in addition to the v

what does immediately change is december you have the bush tax rates in effect. january, you have the clinton tax rates in effect. democrats are better off negotiating from the clinton rates and then they're saying, okay, look, here are the rates, we're going to bring this down, we're going to bring this down. we're going to leave these how they are. how would you like to vote for this? are you going to oppose this? and people didn't really vote for compromise necessarily this election. they overwhelmingly elected the president, they gave the senate to democrats, and they voted for more democrats in the house. now, just because they're gerrymandered and a tea party house doesn't reflect what voters said on election day. so, you know, and as obama keeps pointing out, more people support higher taxes on the rich than even supported obama himself. so the mandate here is clear. it's for higher taxes on the rich and it's not for messing around with entitlements right now. >> ryan grim, susan page, thanks. >> thanks. >> thank you. >>> and we are keeping our eye out for you on ambassador susan rice

clinton. >> i can assure you she'll be meeting with the palestinian authority. >> the goal of the egyptian-let negotiations is to broker an immediate end to the fighting which cannot happen until both sides lay down their arms. >> israel will not hesitate to do what is necessary to defend our people. >> that, of course from abc news. i am graced once again by the presence of trisha rose, professor from brown university, michael hastings of "buzzfeed" and of "rolling stone." what's up? you know, hillary clinton secretary of state, went to israel today. she cut off that asian sort of farewell tour that she was on but she went there in the hopes that something could be worked out. there are rumors of a truce. there are rumors there is going to be a cease-fire. michael, as you look at what the country's mission is, what's the first thing that resonates with you when you see her on the ground there? >> what the white house has to show is they have an active involvement in this. they're going to broker a deal. this has been a tradition of the u.s. to come in when tensions flare to work something out and hopefully a lasting peace not one

clinton. >> i can assure you that she'll be meeting with the palestinian authority. >> the goal of the egyptian-led negotiation is to broker an immediatethe fighting, which cannot happen until both sides lay down their arms. >> israel will not hesitate to do what is necessary to defend our people. >> i'm graced by the presence of patriciatricia rose secretary clinton cut short her trip to asia. she went there in the hopes of a cease-fire. michael, what is the first thing that resonates with you when you see her on the ground. >> i think the white house has to show they have an active involvement, and they're going to be there to broker a deal. this has been the tradition of the u.s. role to come in and work something out and hopefully a lasting peace not something that lasts just a couple of years before they do this again. >> the first thing that struck me again when i heard this was going on, and that hillary clinton was meeting with netanyahu, it did not matter that netanyahu backed romney. all that time wasted, all that money wasted, perhaps but he still has america at his back. here is hillary clinton. >> president obama asked me

talking about how when fdr beat dewey he immediately turned to his aide and said i still think he's an s.o.b. when nixon's wife died he complained that bill clintonote, came to me for advice to save his bottom and couldn't even send a cabinet member to pat's funeral. these are relationships forged around rivalries. i think it's impossible to expect, especially these two, to move forward and have a lunch. it's weird. >> yeah. they seem to really actually have total contempt and disdain for one another. which is different than, you know, i think the president did have a certain level of respect for mccain. i will say your intro, jonathan, about costco, i was thinking i love the joe biden image at costco. if the two guys, mitt romney and the president, were like wandering through costco together, getting samples, that would be a beautiful image. >> that's not weird, but sitting down at lunch is weird? >> one thing i feel like they might actually have in common, i feel like they both might like costco. we'll have to speculate on that. the thing is for me, not only is there no substance here, but even the symbolism of it, what does it really matter? n

immediately following this attack. she is reportedly in contention to succeed hillary clinton as our secretary of state, take a listen. >> if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. and i'm happy to have that discussion with them. but for them to go after the u.n. ambassador who had nothing to do with benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received, and to besmurch her reputation is outrageous. jenna: senator john cornyn of texas what's elected to be the senate's minority whip, a bit of a promotion if you will. thanks to have you back on the program. >> thank you, jenna, good to be with you. jenna: your reaction on what the president had to say yesterday in. >> i thought it was an overreaction to say the least. congress has a constitutional responsibility under our system of checks and balances to consider any nominations to an executive branch position, like secretary of state. the president knows that. i used to be a lecturer in constitutional law. i was kind of surprised at how defensive i was about this. it's pretty

immediately. let's talk about it with lanny davis, white house counsel during the clinton administration, andrea tantarost of "the five" here on fox. what are your predictions? is there going to be a love fest when these elected, reelected, newly-elected folks get to washington, lanny? >> let me think about that. no. [laughter] they're adversarial positions. the difference is that obama now has the ability to pivot to the center in terms of looking for consensus. as you heard him say last night and as i predicted, he's no longer running for re-election, as you pointed out, he's running for history. and he, therefore, can afford to stand up to his base and reach out to thoughtful conservative republicans in the congress to find a consensus position. jon: are you saying we're likely to see a less liberal barack obama in this second term? >> this is the key concept. you can remain a liberal. bill clinton is a liberal democrat, but he worked with newt gingrich to find a consensus. didn't mean he wasn't a liberal. he looked for consensus and left a trillion dollar surplus. there is a way of maintaining your p

immediate short term. so that is still the sticking point. they're still meeting with the palestinian factions and we'll understand once secretary of state hillary clinton arrives if that's a defintive response from the israeli side if there's a truce. it's not an atmosphere of peace or calm or quiet. over the past hour, several israeli air strikes, several palestinian rockets have been fired out of here. so it's still a very much military zone where we are in gaza. the death toll as you mentioned has reached 130 according to palestinian health officials. more than a thousand civilians have been injured over the course of the last seven days of fighting. >> ayman mohyeldin, thanks so much. >>> joining us from tel aviv is nbc news correspondent martin fletcher. from your perspective, what are israeli authorities saying about the potential of a cease-fire coming this hour? >> reporter: well, you know, the israelis have been saying all along, pouring cold water on to the reports which have come from arab sources that an agreement and a truce was going to be signed this evening. there was one radio report that said senior israeli officials said it would hap

immediately. at least, however, they have agreed in principle to these demands and the need to work them out. you had a clip of secretary clinton. she went on to call the cease-fire deal a step in the right direction. she said she looks forward in the days ahead she said to consolidating progress for the people of gaza and israel. and experts are saying that's the key difference here. in previous gaza wars, they locked horns, they separated and relocked and reloaded for the first time. now officials saying there's a progress, guaranteed by egypt ally of hamas and the united states, a friend of israel and reason for both sides to trust and buy in to what they're calling a third phase, which would be a real peace process. at least that's the hope. by the way, the cease-fire is holding i understand on both sides so far. steve? >> all right. jim macedo in cairo. thanks for that. now cairo. aman, how's the news playing out there? >> reporter: not sure if you can hear it from this roof top but on the loud speakers of the mosque across gaza sermons celebrating the victory as they describe it hamas and the palestinian people and standi
