jeff goldberg you had a 45- minute meeting with the president on this topic. after watching the conversation that happened after this meeting at the white house today, did the prime minister and the president get what they came for? >> i think that there's a 0% possibility that either man is going to leave these meetings getting all that he wanted. i think that the prime minister was coming to washington to get a level of specificity from the president. the president is not going to give him in terms of by what date will you attack iran if they don't cede to your requests and how and what are your red lines? the president indicated in many different ways that he's not going to provide that level of detail to anyone in part because he doesn't know. and in terms of what the president wanted, the president wanted to communicate in broad terms to the prime minister as he said that he has israel's back. therefore, you, mr. prime minister, can stand down. you should not do anything premature or precipitous that could actually wind up emboldening or strengthening ira

goldberg.com mr. goldberg. this story as i mentioned and i think you would agree with me because bernie and i chatted on the phone earlier today about it is a much bigger story about a re-election of a president. that's where this is now landing rather than a talk radio story and ideological story, would you agree with that? >> unfortunately agree 100% with that the reason i say unfortunately, is because all the attention is now focused on the comments that rush made and whether the apology is real or not and what the long-term effects of what he said will be. where the -- and to some extent that's all legitimate. i have no problem with that. but it's distracted us from another set of questions. one, here is a woman who was smart enough to get into georgetown law. she is smart enough to get into that school. she is smart enough to get into a whole bunch of other schools. yet, she thinks that a catholic university, which she consciously decided to attend should change its values to suit her. tha

prime minister of israel, with jeffrey goldberg and dennis ross. >> when the chips are down is how you mesh whether someone can be counted on and also as a renextion of whether or not they're trusted. when it took place the first place the prime minister called was the president of the united states. they talked a couple times that day. when the six israelis were trapped in the embattle embassyo and there was profound fear of a liverinlynching taking place tht person the prim minister called was the president of the united states. he placed those calls when the chips are down he assumed he would be. >> this is at hope bashar assad will be gone and iran will be more isolated. i don't think that day has yet come and i think this is the crux of the discussion between israelis and the americans now. it's not over the threat of iran. it's when do you actually deal with the threat. when will the world understand why you're dealing with the threat at the time you're

this from an interview with one of our next guests, that being jeffrey goldberg of "the atlantic."u.s. policy towards israel and iran? here now with jeffrey goldberg, national correspondent for "the atlantic" and peter brooks, heritage foundation, senior fellow, and a former deputy assistant secretary of defense. how do you read it? >> the second is the israel government. he is telling the iranians take my desire to see you stop developing nuclear weapons seriously, or else there will be consequences, including as he put it a military component to the consequences. to the israelis, he is saying i'm taking the iranian threat seriously enough that you don't have to go do anything precipitous or premature. he is signalling to different parties in different ways. >> peter brooks, is the president upping his rhetoric, sharpening his rhetoric, but in your opinion does that change our policy? >> i don't know what our policy is, larry. i mean, we've had this sort of diplomacy, some economic sanctions, but the fact of the matter is the iranians are making tremendous progress on their nuclea

we find scott goldberg there live in a chilly columbus. good morning, scott. >> reporter: good morning, rob and paula. ohio is seen as the most important of the ten states holding contests today. it's partly symbolic. but for rick santorum, it's critical. a loss here could finish his campaign. he had been surging in ohio. only to watch his lead in the polls slip away, placing him in the last-minute dead heat are mitt romney. >> 12 to 1 is the ratio that ve we have been outspent. the five pols, dead even here in the state of ohio. >> reporter: while santorum argued he's scrappy enough, romney tried to cast himself as a inevitable republican nominee. >> we have been all over the state, from a to z, akron to zanesville, we're happy to be here. >> reporter: he turned to his wife ann to help. an effect to humanize her husband. >> i don't consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing. it can be here today and gone tomorrow. >> reporter: as the gop field heads into super tuesday with ten states and more than 400 delegates up for grabs, v

. >> that's a very important interview that jeffrey goldberg did with obama, 45 minutes, what are you doing? goldberg is up to speed on this as much as anyone and what struck me in that interview is where the president said i don't bluff. now, have you ever been in negotiation? the smartest lawyer, negotiator i know in washington says that the skill you need, in fact, 75% of the game is bluffing. you got to be able to bluff. so the president, of course, is bluffing to a certain extent because -- and underneath this, they are skillfully handling the hottest of hot potatoes. this is a really, really tough case. chris: romney is out there very strongly saying if obama is president again for a second term, iran will have a nuclear weapon, just to get to the bottom line here. if i'm president, mitt romney, they won't. boy, is that an ultimatum statement. is the president joining them in that statement? >> when somebody says i don't bluff, probably he is bluffing. i'm sure that the romney -- >> only in this city do people understand this kind of bluffing. >> no means yes and yes means no. >

and next to lois is rich goldberg with the department of justice. i know you've done a lot of work in this area concerning prosecution. why don't you talk about one of the steeples you've seen and worked on and talk about how you did the investigation and what you found. >> sure. typically the business opportunity firms we investigate is the sale of vending machines, coffee machines, internet kiosks, dvd kiosks, something that can be placed in a retail outlet and the locations are promised by the firm as well. these are supposed to be high-traffic, high-profit locations where the buyer of the machine is going to earn a large profit. if he c frequently they'll tell buyers they'll make their money back within a year or so. they'll send them to references who claim falsely that they own a successful opportunity. frequently they are the cousins or brothers or other salespeople who are posing as real customers but in reality are getting paid to lie to prospective buyers. cu customers will be referred to locators who will promise these high-traffic, high-

. >> jeffrey goldberg had a long interview with the president. he said they will try to persuade them to postpone any attack on iran's nuclear facilities. >> israel has announced they will do whatever they do without consulting the united states first. i think this is designed to give the obama administration credible deniability if an attack takes place. it will not work. no one will believe it. the states of the mideast will not believe it. the aftermath of the attack on iran and all the rest, rocket attacks on israel, will produce the same results. we talked about afghanistan. the reason ron paul attracts so many young voters is because he is the peace candidate in this election. here is a guy who says to get out now. since the very unfortunate burning of the quran in afghanistan, six u.s. service members have been killed by members of the afghan army. if we have to fight the taliban and the afghan army, there is no reason for us to stay in afghanistan another day. >> the president told jeffrey goldberg that iran and israel should take serious

details ahead with the man who got that interview, jeffrey goldberg. and education nation, the big three, the mayors of the largest cities, tackle reform and fights with the teacher's union. my conversation with rahm emanuel, and new york city's mayor mike bloomberg. >> the arrogance of the organizations that say parents should not have data to know what to do with their kids is astounding. >> i'm live in washington. in our "daily fix" romney heads to ohio today with one more delegate in his column, after the michigan republican party gave him a post-game win, voteding to award the two at large delegates, giving romney a 16-14 delegate edge in the state, instead of a 15 all tie. chris is a contributor and managing editor of "post politics.com" we said the other day that super tuesday's run up, that this was now going to be trench warfare, delegate by delegate, the romney team proved it right away. this is not only bragging rights which is important, but it's changing the rules mid game, we have proof from the michigan republican chairman to nbc news th

telling "the atlantic" jeffrey goldberg, i don't bluff. i don't go around advertising exactly what our intentions are, but i think both the iranian and israeli governments recognize when the united states says it is unacceptable for iran to have a nuclear weapon, we mean what we say. mr. obama faces pressure from all sides on iran. at a campaign fund-raiser in new york last night, a woman opposing military action presumably paid $1,000 for the privilege of yelling at him. >> none of this -- nobody announced a war, young lady. we appreciate your sentiment. you're jumping the gun a little bit there. >> reporter: the president's immediate challenge is monday's visit from israel's prime minister netanyahu. their ninth meeting, including a tenth oval office face-off last may, when netanyahu appeared to be lecturing the president. in canada today, the prime minister previewed the hard line he will present to the president, a demand iran shut down its nuclear program, which iran claims is peaceful. >> dismantle the underground nuclear facility an

. >> tom: shelley goldberg is the director of global resources and commodities strategy at roubini global economics. >> shelley, french government minister says that france, itain and the u.alk about releesing strategic reserves. we've heard that before. if you believe it, would it help? >> well, you're absolutely right. we have heard it before, and frankly, no one has commited to this yet. there is talk that it could just be rhetoric to push down price that is are currently quite high. now typically, release of strategic reserves is done in a time of war, in time of a major crisis. it happened in lib ya, and people could say that was a vil war. right now we're no faed with war, and the u.s. hasn't said nor has france said they're going to do it. we think it won't happen, but you have to look further into the geopolitical risks driving the market. >> tom: you heard the talk about possible shortages of gasoline. do you believe that this summer with refinery shut downs? >> well, gasoline demand has come off. as you note crude prices have come off again today because of an injection of 7.1 m

. >> marty goldberg looked at 20 homes. >> we liked a bunch of stuff that we have seen. i wish there was more to see. >> goldberg is noticing a tight market in maryland and look at these numbers in d.c. in february, 2011, there were 2,198 properties on the market in washington. february 2012, there are 1,597 properties for sale. that's a 27% decrease. >> now realtors say people are jumping into the d.c. real estate market in part because of that low inventory. >> low interest rates, warm weather, and consumer confidence seems to be picking up a bit. >> people are feeling more secure in their jobs. people are being hired. the news is not so negative right now. and i think that is really helping consumer confidence along with fantastic interest rates. >> message to sellers, it's a good time to jump in, but be careful not to price too high. right now, that's the way to close the deal. beth parker, fox 5 news. >> gas prices could bring a plan to raise the gas tax to a screeching halt. shawn yancy has your top five. >> another good reason to eat healthy food. put down the chi

he gave an interview to atlantic magazine, jeff goldberg. the president said -- i think that the israeli government recognizes that as president of the united states i don't bluff. the president seemed to put some teeth behind this idea that all options are on the table. to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. >> i think that's a good step in a good direction. they reported once again as they did back in 2007, that the iranians were nowhere near getting a nuclear weapon. the question is, if the israeli prime minister decides that he can't afford the risk and he decides that for the survival of israel he has to do something to take out the weapons systems, will the president support him or try to stop him? i think that's the core question, i think the israelis are likely to move quicker than the america government. >>> let's move now to the president's top re-election strategist, david axelrod. what's the answer to that question, what if he comes to the president and says, i can't wait? >> george, let's first stipulate there's no diffe

goldberg.com mr. goldberg. do you think this kind of corruption we just proved yard will have a direct effect on the presidential vote? >> a direct effect, bill, i'm going to say, no. i don't think so. media matters certainly has friends in the mainstream media. but they are mainly media writers. they are not the most important journalists at places like the "new york times," the elite journalists who cover political campaigns. so that's one reason i don't think so. another is, look, we all know it's no bulletin. journalists are by and large liberal to begin with, with or without media matters' influence. and the idea that david broke, the fellow who runs media matters is some kind of wizard behind the curtain pulling the strings and telling people like jill abrahamsome the executive editor of the "new york times" what to do and when to do it. i just don't believe it are they annoying, bill? yeah, they're real annoying. are they going to directly affect the election? i don't think so. no. >> bi
