we met six times for hours each time and a plan which i think former secretary of state condoleezza ricethought that it was the best ever plan that was presented by the state of israel. >> rose: you went further than anyone else had gone in order to get a two state solution and end the conflict. >> yes, yes, that's right. >> rose: why did you do it? >> i did it because i think that peace is the best guarantee for the security and the existence of the state of israel. to change entirely the status of israel in the international community. it would have created an entirely new relations with israel not just with the palestinians but possibly with 57 muslim states around the world would have changed dramatically. it could have opened up opportunities for both us and the palestinians instead of fighting against each other, incorporating as -- cooperating as good neighbors in order to change the life of the middle east instead of talking of wars and consultations and terror we could have worked together in order to make life much better for millions of people. >> rose: i first met you when yo

it seems to me there's a parallelism between condoleezza rice and george w. bush and susan rice and president barack obama yet, we don't -- i so wanted president obama to show up and say i don't care what you say, this is my nominee for secretary of state. >> the president depended on her advice for a long time. when i was a policy director, she and i worked hand in hand. we were making foreign policy decisions. she's somebody to depend on. her credentials are great. she's dedicated to foreign policy. he depended on her from the beginning of the campaign through now. absolutely, she's a perfectly well qualified person to do the job. no doubt about it. >> i think there's another personal angle. if you go back to 2008 campaign, she was the hawk. she was the hawk going after mccain, not just criticizing his policy, but his temperment and judgment. >> strolling around the markets in a jacket. >> he can say it's not personal, but there is a deep seeded personal resentment there and it's finding the manifestation in the blocking of this nomination. >> it's key. he's

joining me now is doug shone, former speech writer to copped lee -- condoleezza rice, fox news contributorangela, and let's start with, first of all, these calls gun controls within the hour of the tragedy occurring. your thoughts, doug? >> well, i' of two minds. lou: okay. >> as a supporter of gun patrol, i understand it and accept it. on the other hand, in an hour or two of the aftermath of this, you want to pull together and t with the family and your family rather than focusing on political solutions no matter how right they may be. the president this afternoon, some decent interval, after it took place, reiterating his preface for gun control. bobby rush, who defeated the president, angela, is crying for gun control in chicago where -- the murder capital of the country which has thee most stringent gun control laws of any city in the country, and that's madness. >> it is madness right now. i an, dc, in this city, proven that gun bans don't decrease crime, but increase crime. gun bans, lou, make law-abiding citizens less armed and criminals armed who don't buy by the law. the guns crim

but that changed in august with the highly showcased admission, a former secretary of state condoleezza rice and darla moore, a south carolina businesswoman. >> i haven't thought yet about where i'll play, but i have thought a lot about where i've been. >> when quarterback peyton manning and the indianapolis colts decided to part ways after 14 seasons, the coverage of where manning would land was intense. after broncos fans learned he would play in denver, they must have felt like they won the lottery which made the trade of tim tebow to the new york jets easier to accept. the emergence of golf's newest stars took center stage in 2012. bubba watson introduced himself by winning the masters, but it was a humble misdemeanor and viral videos that quickly endeared him to millions. meanwhile, a 23-year-old from northern ireland rory mcilroy dominated, let the comparisons to tiger woods begin. ever since he appeared on the cover of "sports illustrated" as a 17-year-old, it wasn't a question of if, but when lebron james would achieve greatness. that came this year when he soared to his first champi

. >> but i think it's very clear that condoleezza rice is a person of integrity. and yes, i see this -- some lingering bitterness over a very tough campaign. i hope it dissipates soon. >> jon: oh, i'm sure it will. what kind of crotchety "grand torinoish" old (bleep) would be able to get over a simple campaign loss? it's unimaginable. (laughter) so why is john mccain doing this? (cheers and applause) well, the congressional black caucus representative marcia fudge-- that's right, you heard me-- (laughter) marcia. (laughter) actually, congresswoman fudge is one of our nation's most hardworking and i can only assume delicious congress people. (laughter) she had a theory about ambassador rice. >> any time something goes wrong they pick on women and minorities. >> come on now! >> i have a real issue with that. susan rice's comments didn't send us to iraq and afghanistan. >> uh-huh! >> well -- >> somebody else's did. i'm probably not the most educated person in this house. >> you're an attorney. >> but i'm close. just go on and hate on. but look in the mirror and hate

so now to come up with this with reference to condoleezza rice is almost a joke to me. plenty of things she could do if in fact she became the secretary of state. she could put it in a blind trust. she could sell if she wants. this is a nonissue to start. with. >> congressman gregory meeks, always appreciate you, simple. thank you for swinging by. come back. we do this every saturday. any time you want to swing by and spend time with us. >> i'll definitely do that. >>> violent protests delayed the inauguration of mexico's new president earlier today. take a look at what unfolded there in the streets. officials there say more than 2500 people took to the streets of mexico city, just a few blocks from where the new president was set to be sworn in. we're told that three protesters were hurt in clashes with police. one student is reportedly in critical condition there. demonstrators are accusing pena nieto of using bribery to win the election. those protesters were eventually dispersed and the new president was sworn in today. i want to bring in telemundo's julio vaquero f

i don't think it amounted to a hill of beans take it was no different from condoleezza rice, who had been involved in all kinds of things after 9/11 -- >> she could have survived benghazi if she did not have such sharp elbows. >> i don't think republicans wanted to be calmed down out this it w washington and its worst, not its best. >> charles, score one for john mccain and instagram. -- the lindsey graham. >> the issue is not susan rice. the issue is that the administration understood that benghazi is a multiple scandal could why was there no security? no one was answered -- no one has answered that. and all these contradictory stories about the video after everybody knew there or is n a vide ere e the scdals here. for the administration, they were lucky because the press is not interested in this. the only thing that would have revived the store and kept the scandal going would have been at had she had hearings. she would have had to give her story, the one she gave on the talk shows. obviously, it was false from 8 i -- from a to z, and diverted or deliberate. -- eerednto orelibate

at senator mccain in particular, who voted to approve colin powell as secretary of state and condoleezza rice as secretary of state. >> it's trshgs do you have remember that john mccain used to be the darling of the left and he's been somebody always, front and center on immigration reform, not usually something racists do, and you know, now, suddenly, we're told that this man who as been in the public eye for as long as i've been alive, i feel like, is suddenly a racist and they have no problem saying that and this is an extremely toxic and dangerous trend that's happening and i think that people should be very concerned that this is now the argument that people make. >> we've come a long way baby, and i still remember just before the civil rights movement when racists and masog masogyists. whatever happened to content of character not color of skin, you can't criticize susan race because she's black and female, what are the rules. >> jon: and we thought we'd play it clip for you from the msnbc anchor. >> mccain tried to make her unnominatable, and would look weak. and mccain inappropriate p

condoleezza rice was 50 when she was nominated by george w. bush back in 2004.ather around that water cooler to watch politics ukrainian style. the newly elected ukrainian parliament had their first session yesterday. shortly into the day, this erupted. on the floor, a mass fist fight between the ruling party and opposition. the two sides were arguing over voting rules when opposition members stormed the podium, punching, grabbing, bite, choke holes and body slams. and full nelsons? also there, but not seen in the pictures, boxing heavyweight and gre great, klitschko. when asked why he wasn't getting involved, klitschko simply said, quote, i understand many people want klitschko to launch an offensive but i would like to remine them the fists a world champion are considered nuclear weapons. we will not use these weapons for now. it's not the first time the ukrainian politics have resorted to actions worthy of detention. back in 2010 lawmakers threw eggs and set off smoke bombs in the chamber over a vote to keep the russian navy stationed at a ukrainian port. >>>

nobody said that about condoleezza rice when she used to go on sunday talk shows all the time to represent the administration's position, including an election year, and said things that were later proven to be not true that she may not have known that. she probably didn't know. >> senator collins also had nice things to say about john kerry as secretary of state is that what this is about? to put susan rice on the sidelines, bring kerry out of the senate, open up the massachusetts seat for scott brown? >> there is always the back story in washington, and the kerry thing may be part of it. but there's something about susan rice that is off-putting to people, i don't have my arms about buying it if you cannot win over susan collins, who is a nice, reasonable person, she cannot be a very good ambassador in her own cause. >> and she is from maine. >> well, she is really from washington. but there must be something about her that antagonizes people. >> i think people are missing the point. i don't think the story is susan rice. the real story is the president paid he said himself in his press

is that if the issue is that she misinformed congress or misled, that they draw a parallel to condoleezza rice and she misinformed or misled on iraq and she still had the support of people like hillary clinton and barack obama, and there's a question of should the president have people in his cabinet that he wants to have in his cabinet? there is this visceralness about it. it's very interesting that mccain has taken the lead. he has very strong views on this and it comes back to his former 2008 opponent. susan rice was a very strong critic of john mack contain and his foreign policy views. gwen: and he was close to chris stevens, the ambassador. >> i think there's a lot of personal feelings there. gwen: how much of it is about what the u.n. ambassador said on a talk show and how much of this is about what the intelligence department didn't do and what the state department didn't do? >> you're 100% right. i mean, i talked to republicans this week about this, and foreign policy expert republicans, who say why are we picking this fight? what we need to be asking is did the intelligence community

following hillary clinton, firstly michelle obama, over winfrey, and condoleezza rice. >> on the insideorge w. bush, nelson mandela, and the pope. bill clinton has talked the most admired list 17 times -- elrich clinton has talked the most admired list 17 times over the years -- hillary clinton. now that we will technically over the fiscal cliff, what is the immediate impact, or is there still room for compromise? we are just hours away from 2013. a live look at times square in manhattan, where an estimated million people are making new friends, more -- whether they like it or not. it is one of the biggest parti >> in just about six hours, all eyes will be on the plot. >> this is a look at times square as people packed into welcome 2013. >> people are already gathering in times square in new york. >> about a million people will be there in times square to watch it all and make the celebration part of their start to 2013. jay gray has the latest on all the preparations. >> 3-2-1, happy new year! >> the crystal ball has been hoisted into place. times square has waited 364 days for this, w

mccain supported condoleezza rice nomination. >> you can say he's being partisan. >> you is say it's partisan but i think that charge is outrageous. i completely agree with keli that members of congress have been making this charge and it ought to be reported but i think commentators are being foolish. >> i don't think anyone is going around saying john mccain hates black people. i think the questions they raised are worth it in the context it's like the only way to explain this is it racist to call someone lazy or cheap. in the historical context of our country someone labeling a jewish person lazy or a black person lazy could be racially inflammato inflammatory. when you have john mccain to say that sarah palin was qualified and that an african-american woman is not qualified with a phd is not qualified it can open up questions of a culture land mine that i think the media would be irresponsible to cover it. >> not sure i agree. that's the fiscal cliff as we face the deadline. the president gave a speech that struck me. let's listen to what barack obama had to say. >> i want you to

but that changed in august with a highly show cased admission of former secretary is of state condoleezza rice >> i have not thought about where i will play but i have thought about where i've been. when peyton manning decided to part ways with the colts, did coverage of where he would land was intense. after broncos fans learned he would play in denver, they must have felt like they won the lottery are, made the trade of tebow to the jets easier to accept. the emergence of golf's newest stars took center stage in 20 buba watson introduced himself as a new leader. meanwhile, a 23-year-old from northern ireland, rory mcilroy, ended the year as the world's top ranked player and let the comparisons to tiring woods begin. ever since he appeared on the cover of on "sports illustrated" as a 17-year-old, it was not a question of when, but if he won a ring. that kicame this year. he won his championship, was voted mvp and won olympic gold. the nfl had a battle with the referees of money. replacemented were attempted but after a blown call on national tv, the criticism was too much and the to sides cam

he had marco rubio on condoleezza rice if they had done it. >> if he had gone for meg whitman. he might have won. if he took a serious woman as opposed to palin in 2008. >> on obama, he fought a campaign that was pretty skillful on the ground where it mattered in the swing states. probably why he won. by any kind of criminal just you say he didn't live up to the promise he gave four years ago. what do you want him to do to show some fulfillment of that promise. what i want him to do and what needs to be done have separate things. i do know that we've had a lot of programs, government funded programs for years now that represent both sides of the aisle. both sides want everything they want. both sides have found way with this congress over the last several years to get much of what they want. we bought it on credit. the time has come. we have to pay the bill. >> argument of the moment, you can see the republicans being pushed into this impossible situation for them to win where two-thirds of americans in all the polls are quite happy for the rich 2% to be taxed more. the republi

. >> dana: did bush appoint condoleezza rice because she was black? colin powell? bob: do i think race factors in the selection of cabinet members? yes. >> andrea: democrats like to tout, it's the first black president, she is a female. wink-wink. republicans do it on merit it's a cynical -- it can't even be a token. cynical token. there is nothing cynical about it. >> eric: can you imagine -- well, this is going down a rabbit hole. >> greg: i love this. republicans can't do anything. they can't -- if they don't appoint -- no, you are proving my point. if you don't nominate minorities, you're racist. if you do nominate minorities, you're racist. at a certain point the democrats have to look in the mirror and say we are a-holes. >> bob: you feel oppressed, don't you? >> greg: i'm not. pointing out your hypocrisy. >> dana: he is free to say he has principled. unlike adolf. >> greg: i want to apologize for using slight profanity, though i edited it out. >> dana: rob parker, the columnists on espn, they say something outrageous to then apologize is all of us will know

last month, there is a report about how he tried to give guidance to condoleezza rice when she was ininistration. there's a big difference between having political views and commentators and actively trying to influence the news. >> the notion that this conversation was recorded, petraeus at the time this was a senior government if i recall. you go in there and you record your conversation with him that's a little bizarre isn't it? >> the c.i.a. gets recorded, so i don't know, there's a whole dimension to that. the interesting thing is ails is not effectively making kings. as we watch the george bush, the last republican president, was not, you know, didn't have a contract at fox news. they've been doing this stuff but haven't been effective at it. in the primary we watched people on stage. they are not in the white house right now. as they're doing it, as, you know as we're kind of disgusted by the whole notion of it, it's not effective in politicking. >> to come back to the critical point that you made earlier if they were overt and open about these conflicts and about their willing

it wasn't too many years ago that we were talking about harry belafonte comments about condoleezza ricen colin powell when he said they were living in the house of the master. he wasn't joking then. he may be overstated a little bit maybe for him. >> bill: is he emboldened. >> of course. >> bill: nobody cares about harry belafonte. >> that song is in my head ruining the christmas season banana boat. >> bill: sun goes down. i like that song. i used him not because he has credibility and that is he somebody that people listen to, but to give you an example of what is being said in the salons at the huffington post. these people are going, you know what? if you oppose president obama now and you oppose the secular progressive agenda we're going to deal with you. look, the attacks on me, look, i have a stack of news clips all over the country because how dare o'reilly, how dare he stand in our way and point these things out. we'll go after him any institution or media source that actually exposes what they really think or even questions them how dare you do that? kanye west to belafonte. ch

. >> president obama, oprah winfrey and condoleezza rice were right behind.o pilly graham and a george w. bush. >> can't go wrong with those names. >> that's a good list. >> what are we looking at going forward into the new year. >> cold, snowy. >> we are starting with temperatures going down. talking about the overnight and afternoon highs. it will be cold by midweek. so enjoy today. today will be, i think, the mildest day out of the work week. in no way will it be anything like last year on new year's eve. we had a high of 62 and an overnig overnight. dry air getting blown around. it's filtered sunshine for uh us. clouds in the area. look at the precipitation. right to us. it's going to be in the sprinkles. there may be flurries in western maryland. areas way up to the north by tomorrow morning. the whole system will take time to move through the area. as it does, it's going to keep cloud cover across the area. forecast hour by hour. at noontime, 41. 45 degrees at 3:00 today. back down to 41 where we could see sprinkles by 5:00 a, 6:00 this evening. then ri

i thought after bush and the second iraq war when condoleezza rice was against the neo kan voices wendant part of the republican policy and it is not. >> i do talk at ron paul a fair amount so i'll limit myself, but that's a strain ron paul captured this election cycle with republicans. they are sick of war just like the rest of america. >> the reason is that the lobby in washington is extremely powerful. we keep wondering why they still yield power, but that's ultimately the reason. they have extreme power in washington. it's the same reason gun control is so hard to get. there are powerful lobbies and the pro-israel lobby is one of them. >> chris, can i join in on one point here? >> yeah. >> we don't want to break the bank on this. the detractors of israel think the u.s. relationship is driven by the power of domestic politics. and israel's defenders on the other hand believe domestic politics is irrelevant. the u.s.'s relationship is driven primarily by value. and glenn should understand this, the pro-israeli lobby in the united states has a powerful voice, but it does not have a

speakers included former secretary of state condoleezza rice and former chancellor of new york city public-school, joel klein, hosted by the foundation for excellence and education. this is about an hour. >> welcome to this evening's bought test of morning joe. [laughter] the energy in this room is nice. how this issue of educational reform has ripened, the combination of need, the talent we see in this room. there is a sense that the moment has a ride. the other is jeb bush. i am a great believer that two things matter in life -- ideas and people. that is the driver of change in history. jeb is a perfect example of in what he is doing. he is the coming together of a person with real talent and drive. the fact that you are here is the greatest salute you could give. condie and that, the the national security background. we used to mess around with something called the rand bond calculated. it used to calculate the cep, t he circular error robert roe -- error probable. are today. we have travelled a considerable distance. when asked what the great -- the greatest national-security threat is, he di

they did nominate condoleezza rice, who became secretary of state. it would be hard to say that the senator who is had problems were doing so for either racial or sexual reasons. they have proven the willingness to work with african-americans of both male and female. i think it would not be a bad idea for president obottoming -- obama to see if colin powell would come out of retirement and that mib a bipartisan step to move us in a direction of a different kind of dialogue that we are going to get, if we stay with left-wing policies? it's interesting. the evidence was overwhelming. it was inconvertible in this particular case, but democrats -- the campaign never stops. there is no time for governing here, whatsoever. it seems that they want to humiliate, crush, divide and hurt the republican party. am i wrong, as i observe the fiscal cliff and the attacks that never end -- war on women, never ends? >> you know, i was a big fan and very, very impressed with coach wooten's use of the full-court press at ucla. one of the most remarkable basketball dine

person from the nsc staff, that general scowcroft and i put in charge was a young woman named condoleezza rice .. so two and a half years before the soviet union collapsed, the united states was beginning contingency planning to goal that collapse. the first briefing that i ever heard where i heard the cia tell the president of the united states this regime cannot last, and it is not in the distant future. it is on its last legs. >> rose: that was in -- >> 1985, before his first meeting with gorbachev. >> rose: let me move to china, in the few minutes remaining, the president has said, we are going to pivot to china, but as soon as we pivot to china or to asia, to the east, something happens in the old world that causes us to happen to get involved, engaged, pay attention, you worry about the chinese military buildup. do you worry about their intentions? >> i worry that this is a relationship that needs very careful management by both washington and beijing. i think that first of all the chinese learned their 11 from the soviets, their lesson from the soviets and won't try to match up militari

bush, his first two cabinet nominees were alberta gonzales for attorney general and condoleezza ricent. it only took george w. bush eight days to get around to nominating them. we are at 44 days for president obama. if this is any current signed, the republicans are taking this delay as a sign of weakness in the white house. i don't think that's how the white house sees it, but i would love to know how they do see it. . or you can get out there and actually like something. the lexus december to remember sales event is on. this is the pursuit of perfection. the lexus december to remember sales event is on. try running four.ning a restaurant is hard, fortunately we've got ink. it gives us 5x the rewards on our internet, phone charges and cable, plus at office supply stores. rewards we put right back into our business. this is the only thing we've ever wanted to do and ink helps us do it. make your mark with ink from chase. >>> best new thing in the world. this is a reindeer and where this animal lives down here in the lower 48 we have this kind of beer. up north, they have these guys a

i heard condoleezza rice talk about -- several weeks ago, and so and so said, my god, dr. rice, you're so brilliant, so funny, so smart, so patriotic, why don't you run for president? she said, i just don't have it in me. i used to tour with george bush, and at the end of the day, he was raring to go, and at the end of the day, i was raring to shoot myself. [laughter] so there are these people in our evolved system who spend their whole life doing press and begging, and they're called politician. and once in a while a publicker servant, we get one who also has the capacity to be a public servant and has a little time left over at the end of the day between lying and begging to take care of the country. [laughter] and as milton friedman said, we just don't have the time to bone up on the people who are trying to rob us through the x corporation, the people who are trying to rob us through the y union and the people who are getting a subsidy for this and that because we think about it for ten seconds a year, and they think about it all day every day. so there's only one thin

that was condoleezza rice, talking about iraqi weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist. that was a different time. george? >> yes, it was, jake, thanks very much. >>> let's get more on this from our senior foreign affairs correspondent, martha raddatz. and martha raddatz, now in line to be named secretary of state, senator john kerry of massachusetts. he's likely to be easily confirmed. but this is still a painful, personal retreat for both the president and ambassador rice. >> reporter: it's true, george. you know, they're very different kinds of choices, very different kinds of style. kerry's safe, low-key, even-keeled and has lots of experience. susan rice has lots of experience in foreign affairs. but she's far more combative and in your face. she was seen as a riskier choice. and right now, the president doesn't want to battle over people. he'll battle over policy, but not people. >> that's what the ambassador said, as well. that's why she pulled herself out. meanwhile, we're seeing the challenges continue to mount for the president overseas, especially in syria. th

kerry, unlike clinton, condoleezza rice and madeleine albright is a white man.he last white man to serve as secretary of state. look at him, warren christopher who stepped down in 1997 during bill clinton's second term. no woman or person of color led the defense or treasury departments. it was interesting to hear the name of american express ceo float this week. white house officials approached him for joining the president's nomination as treasury secretary. is the country's first black president facing an optics problem if the cabinet is white and male? since you read my mind on this, is it ironic or a sign of progress that we have a black president and we are asking the question of whether he needs to do the diversity thing or can he feel free to sort of make his cabinet his picks and not worry about the diversity? >> so far, susan rice was his pick, she's not. then i don't know, chuck hagel. really? the most qualify? i don't know he's making good choices. i would like to see a cabinet that reflects a lot of interesting, smart choices and reflects diversity
