he responlds to invitation by dianne feinstein and dirk durbin saying i greatly appreciate your kindth democratic senators i believe doing so at this point could compound the misperception of partisanship about my visit. it is amid on-going nuclear discussions between the u.s. and iran. joining me senior political deputy political editor carrie ooh dan. pick up what he said in his explanation, not wanting to meet with senate democrats. >> well that's right. netanyahu said that he does not want to appear partisan by meeting behind closed doors with senate democrats. obviously senate democrats are saying this proves he is being partisan by accepting that invitation without consulting the white house, then refused to meet with senate democrats behind closed doors. what susan rice said was by far the most explicit criticism of a white house official on this issue. it is important to note that in the past several weeks we have seen criticism, seen senior administration officials saying on background, saying criticism of netanyahu, that we are not sharing details of iran negotiations becau

dianne feinstein joins me now.you very much. >> i certainly were right as to the threat we faced. now what about the way the war powers language he has sent up, there's criticism already from both sides that the language is too ambiguous and it either gives too much authority or some say it would permit boots on the ground and not restricted enough. >> as i understand it andrea he worked with the foreign relations committee to try to craft something that met both sides. the doves and hawks, whether that's really possible or not, i don't know. i know this isil is now known to americans. we've seen the beheadings and burnings and hostages taken. we've seen people frog walked and then essentially mowed down. we've seen massacres and we've seen christians killed simply because they were christian and not muslim. it has a much higher profile than let's say aqap which is more remote equally dangerous to america, but more remote. so what is wanted is an authorization for use of force that's legal. i think the three years

when you get a letter by dianne feinstein and dick durbin to the prime minister of israel they're expressingir irritation with the way this invitation was coming forward and then they say, we'd like you to meet behind closed doors with the democratic caucus democratic member netanyahu says no that would be too partisan, you can't do that. but normally israel has always tried to have good relations with both parties and you can't irritate half of the country, if you will. >> this isn't entirely new either. in the 2012 election i think netanyahu went remarkably far in indicating his preference for mitt romney -- >> former business colleague. >> in the hype of the u.s. election. i've talked to elections in this area who said there's never been anything quite like the level, the degree to which he's been willing to identify with one party. you would have to say that this is the most counterproductive foreign intervention in american politics in modern times. i said that the other day and it was said since the xyz affair in the 1970s -- >> and this is really short term really dangerous politics t

senators boxer and dianne feinstein jumped on, as well. they sent a letter to the state health and human services secretary saying we believe there should be no such thing as a philosophical or personal belief exemption since everyone use public spaces. they went on to say that parents who refuse to vaccinate also endanger other families. if the legislation passes, california would join 32 other states that don't allow that personal belief exemption for vaccinations. >> you know, a lot of strong opinions right now. >> reporter: it's tough. i saw one person put it this way. he said, wait, i can't send my kid to school with peanuts in his lunch because it endangers your child who has an allergy but yet you can not vaccinate your child and endanger my child's health? >> we have done that story. some kids cannot be vaccinated. they are sitting ducks. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >>> new at 6:00 a dire warning tonight of a shutdown that could cost billions. west coast port operations could grind to a halt in five days if both sides don't reach

meanwhile, senators dianne feinstein and barbara boxer asked state health officials to go further andliminate "religious exemptions." >> several potential republican president candidates have also weighed in on the debate. on monday, kentucky senator rand paul of kentucky, an ophthalmologist, said he had heard of instances where vaccines caused "mental disorders." >> the hepatitis the vaccine is now given to newborns. we sometimes give five and six vaccines all at one time. i chose to have mine delayed. i don't the government to give my newborn hepatitis b faxing which essentially transmitted and or blood transfusions. to think it is a good idea ultimately? yes. i had mine staggered. i've heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines. i'm not arguing vaccines are a bad idea. i think are good thing, but i think parents should have some input. the state doesn't own your children. it is an issue of freedom. >> that his senator rand paul. since then, he has backtracked on his comments. on tuesday, he was photograp

senators barbara boxer and dianne feinstein for instance, sending a letter to both sides today, which quote, while it is understandable that the parties can disagree, it is highly disappointing that with so much at stake you have not been able to come up with a path forward on this one remaining issue. and it is a major issue of course for businesses large and small business. right across the united states. now reporting disruptions to their supply chains. listen here. >> usually this would hit the stores around january 15th. now we're looking at the end of into february, into march before the retailers can take a hit. many retailers we've spoken to, said they might cancel their order. we have 3,000 of these independent stores all across the united states. >> david and liz, we understand that the talks involving both the commerce and the labor secretaryies are ongoing at this hour in san francisco. we're getting no hints though that a deal is imminent. david and liz? >> liz: jonathan hunt, thank you very much. david: thanks, jonathan. what seems like a new cyberattack virtually every

but at the same time dianne feinstein and dick durbin are sending a letter saying we're not going to show for the speech this is a bad idea. why don't you meet with us separately. the democrats are looking to cover themselves i think a little bit from criticism that they are boycotting the israeli leader. >> right. and this by the way is -- you could argue is what should have happened all along. he was coming to washington anyway to give a speech at the apec convention next week. you know the convention center is six blocks or eight blocks from the capital, he could have spent an entire day meeting individually or groups with senators and congressman talking about his fears about this deal. and that case he probably would have gotten a meeting in the administration. right now the administration itself is boycotting him. so yes, obviously the democratic party is a pro israel party, just like the republican party, although there's worries on the israeli part about how long that's going to last. and there are a lot of democrats who don't want to insult the president by showing up to thi
