e.j. dionnethank you for being here. >> our pleasure. >>> how much did that raise the stakes in today's election in israel? in the short run -- campaign saying he wasn't in -- not in favor of a palestinian state appears to have helped him with the far right base with the israeli electoral. it looks as it's dead even at 27 seats each or maybe 28 to 27 seat lead for nettenia howard but you need 60 seats to form a government. it means both parties are going to have to deal with the collateral parties and try to put a coalition together or put a coalition together among themselves. it appears that he appeal to the right worked in the waning days of the campaign but he was hurt by coming to the u.s. and talking to the congress. >> so e.j. give me your analysis. did it help him in terms of the republicans helping them try to embarrass the president, but hurt him at home? and he had to go back to a fear right position which may not be in the interests of the united states and others in terms of saying n

joining me now is "washington post" columnist e.j. dionne. k you for being here e.j. >> good to be with you, reverend. >> president obama and a former bush official both ripping the letter. what does that tell you, e.j.? >> it tells me it was a really bad idea. my friend and colleague mike goreson who wrote that great piece today is going to have to join the conservative commentator's protection program after he wrote that. it was really scathing. he said this was a foreign policy maneuver in the middle of a high stakes negotiation with all the gravity and deliberation of a blog posting. he went on to say that it raises questions about the republicans' capacity to govern. this sends a terrible signal to the world about us and it's not just people on the left who are criticizing and not just mike gorson. senator bob corker the chairman of the foreign relations committee in the senate didn't sign it because he knew that this was a bad signal for us as a country, and it's actually counterproductive from their own point of view. >> well let's walk

joining me now is e.j. dionne of "the washington post." you for being here. >> good to be with you, reverend. >> e.j., has speaker boehner and senator mcconnell forgotten who's president? >> well i just think they're operating with new math and 53% of the vote and 51% of the vote isn't a majority any more at least that's what it seems like. i mean look i expect senator mcconnell to give a speech any day now on nullification and interposition. i mean if they want to change the rules, let them pass a bill but the notion of going around the country and telling states no, no you don't have to follow these rules, i don't know what kind of lawyers he has, but i might want to use them to justify something that's pretty unjustifiable myself. and as for john boehner, i just don't know why he is compounding his act first inviting mr. netanyahu in his talk to congress without any consultation from the white house, now he's going to go over there perhaps right at the moment when these talks with iran are reaching a conclusion. i don't think it's good f

joining me now is e.j. dionne of "the washington post." ing here e.j. >> good to be with you, reverend. >> clinton needs to address this more fully, but is the gop about to dive off the deep end with more hillary conspiracy theories e.j.? >> as you were suggesting reverend, we were wondering what this congress would do and now it may break all historical records by having more committees investigating one person than any time ever in congress. i find it sort of peculiar on their part because there's an old rule in politics that when your opponent is in some trouble, your best move is often to sit back and shut up. in this case the press is asking all kinds of questions of hillary clinton, and there's no reason for the republicans to escalate. and if you go back to the bill clinton scandal, there were a lot of people including democrats, who were mad at president clinton for what he said. but what helped save him was people reacted against his opponents. his opponents, whether it was ken starr or the impeachers in congress kept going way bey

was >> a column in today'shi "washington post" by e.j. dionne about this, specifically the voting rights issue where now selma, king's agenda remains unfulfilled, i point that out tot viewers if they want to read about that. there was the photo that was used in that picture in color xter i there on ours screens for our viewers.ca dexter silver spring, maryland, line for democrats dexter, good morning. >> caller: i'm calling from acklash maryland. andblac i think it's just a backlash against blacks in general.ted. since obama's been elected. h i voted for him twice. and i was hopeful that america would rise up and get past this racism in c this country. for me it has gotten worse. ever since he was elected. and i don't blame him for it i think it's just the backlash against blacks in general. >> thank you, dexter. there is a segment of america that did not want this president as president. but there's a segment of america that may not have wanted him, not because of the color of his skin, but because they did not want his agenda. . but then you d

host: one other column to point you to this morning is "the washington post's" e.j. dionne. "the gop's big yes to no" is the headline of his piece. "many right-wingers and has do not care about how their inability to govern looks to people outside the bubble. this is mostly about high principal and since most of them come from conservative districts, they strengthen their political situations by continuing to link the dhs funding to overturning president obama's executive actions on immigration. they have nothing to lose. but collectively their party has a lot to lose. republicans will have to do far better with latino voters that mitt romney did in 2012 and this fight will only make it harder and middle-of-the-road voters don't like this sort of workmanship -- brinksmanship, as will the shouldn't." darrell in missouri, good morning. caller: good morning. good morning. i think the democrats are really playing politics with this because of the way the issue is being presented in the senate. claire mccaskill votes to continue to filibuster on one hand and then turns white back
