steve hayes, senior writer for "the weekly standard" and mara liasson of national public radio and syndicatedolumnist charles kraut krauthammer. charles. >> the president is stuck and appears undecided. it is remarkable for the president in the middle of a war after he has been the commander in chief for over eight months to admit he doesn't have a strategy, so he doesn't want to commit the forces until he has a strategy. well, he needs a strategy or while our troops are out in the field and if the reports about what mcchrystal is asking for are true, that is going to be a giant leap. this is a situation of all in or not in at all. i think it's the right kind of decision, because mcchrystal, and of course general petraeus, who was the conceiver and the man who carried out the surge in iraq, had a sense that you either have to do it right or you don't try it at all. now, obama's problem is this. his political advisors are crom completely against anything of this kind. they don't want him to become l.b.j. the man with the great domestic program to be brought down by an unwinnable counterinsurge

steve hayes, senior writer for "the weekly standard."uan williams, news analyst for national public radio and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. charles, first about this resolution of disapproval that passed late this afternoon. >> well, he was out of order. it was a lack of decorum. he shouldn't have done it. i suspect if it had been a different joe wilson, the husband of the outed c.i.a. agent who, was a liberal hero and martyr in the previous administration, if he had been in the house and yelled "you liar" to president bush, the liberals would have carried him on their shoulders out of the hall as a hero speaking truth to power. nonetheless, even besides the hypocrisy, he shouldn't have done t he apologized. it is obviously a democratic stunt as a way to take attention away from the healthcare debate they are losing, and every day that they don't have to speak about the specifics of a plan, and the more it is examined, the more it loses support is a good day for the democrats, so this was a good afternoon for the democrats. b

political observations from steve hayes, mara liasson, national public radio and syndicated columnist charles kraut krauthammer. steve, the president out again today. >> he was, and i don't think his speech today was a game changer. i don't think his speech last night was a game changer. in fact, i thought the only good part of his speech was the end of his speech where he grew passionate talking about teddy kennedy and the obligation that he feels to pass some sort of healthcare reform legislation, but look, you know, i agree entirely with what jon jon kyl . this was a series of strawmen. he knocked them down. he described motives to his opponents that were unfair, deeply unfair in some cases, and basically engaged in demagoguery with numbers and language. one example of that is this proposal to study tort reform that he floated sort of near the substance, the body of his speech. it felt like an add on. i think it probably was an add on where he said he would assign kathleen sebelius, secretary of health and human services, to look at republican proposals for tort reform in some limi

this is the first time john tra volt hayes spoken publicly about the death of his son? >> it is.plosive revelation that came out of the trial. he went on record to say jett did not have autism. to admit jett had autism as well as another seizure disorder was huge. >> what was his tone like? i have seen pictures that he has been depressed and withdrawn from his career and one report said his family, just having -- anyone would understand the difficulty in dealing with a loss of a child. >> he is. he was visibly shaken when he left the courtroom. understandably he lost his son not even a year ago. all of the travoltas have been going through a rough patch. i think he knew he needed to testify in order to clear his name. he said what he needed to say. >> so sad. another story that is sad, disturbing, bizarre. mackenzie phillips is revealing she had a consentual sexual relationship with your father. >> she is going on "oprah" to say she had a ten-year relationship with her father and toward the end it became consensual. he exposed her to cocaine. the scenario sounds crazy. she is goi

the man who hayes made the most news in the last 24 hours, john packs sits down with charlie gasparino, along with bill and i, talking to him about his legacy, the future of morgan stanley. >>> eric leacher, he founded the m & a business, ran it, he is a titan for the m & a world. he'll relax to the interview as well. >>> and on the eve of michael jordan being inducted into the hall of fame, big auction coming up of basketball memorabilia. the first along, some lebron james stuff in there as well. those two guys are so famous in sports, even i know who they are. >> we look forward to the show. up next, maria bartiromo has firsthand accounts. >>> as we go to break, here's another live look at the 9/11 memorial service at ground zero in new york city. >>. >> michael morgan taylor. >> paul a.tetmire. >>> as we near the one-year anniversary. cnbc will air a special on sunday at 10:00 p.m. eastern, reflexes on waite wall street. maria bartiromo sits down with self people to get their firsthand take on what happened and how far we've come back. maria joins us right now with more. it sounds l

steve hayes, senior writer for "the weekly standard", juan williams, news analyst for national public and syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. steve, let's start with you. an overview of your thoughts of the speech. >> i thought it was a terribly embarrassing speech. just think about the last sentence that we heard in the introduction there. when you question the cause or character of my country, think about the concrete actions of the last nine months. basically what president obama is saying there, think about me when you think about the goodness or greatness of the united states. i think that is an unbelievably arrogant thing to say, and sadly, it wasn't the only thing that he said in the speech that was like that. i think the whole speech was filled with that. i think what we saw today in so many ways is representative of the way that the obama administration wants to elevate the united nations and make it a serious global policy-making body and also emblematic of the way that the united nations is a broken institution. you have muammar qaddafi, a rogue dictator, a crazy man

steve hayes, senior writer for the "weekly standard." amy stoddard associate editor of the hill. brit hume fox news senior political analyst. what about tonight? brit, what do you expect? what does he have to do? brit: we understand he is going to do as you said in 40 to 45 minutes. which sounds as if he is going to attempt to reexplain and reframe this issue. it would be quite something if he had a new proposal, major new proposal to make. one senses that that may not be the case. i can't recall an instance when a president at this stage of a legislative proceeding, and we have been at this now for much of this year, has come in with a re-framing of the issue or re-explanation or re-exposition of the issue and changed the political atmosphere. it is a very tall order he has set for himself. bret: amy? >> i agree. the more typically that you campaign on these issues and speak on these issues the more the poll numbers go down, not up. i think if he is very firm tonight with -- we know he will be firm with his critics on the right. if he is firm with his supporters on the left and

steve hayes with "the weekly standard" and a.b.ddard of the hill and syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. charles, the president spoke today and today he was at the u.n. security council. what did he accomplish? >> nothing. this is surreal. as we speak, the irraunians -- the iranians are developing uranium and the american delegate at iaea announces that iran has enough uranium to construct a bomb. they are testing miss missiles, flouting all u.n. resolutions as are the north koreans and the response of america, the president of the united states, on camera, of course, presides over a perfectly useless meeting of the security council and passes a perfectly useless resolution airly declaring the end of nuclear weapons. look, my model u.n. in high school was more real es stick than this security council. the resolution as you pointed out, isn't even binding, and the problem is that the assumption of of obama is that the reason that these rogue states are assuming nukes is because we have not led by example rather than the obvio

we bring in steve hayes from "the weekly standard", mort kondracke and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer want to start with an overview of what you heard on the iran section of this, and what you heard from prime minister netanyahu in this interview. charles. >> well, you notice how he wouldn't talk directly or even indirectly, even hint about an is israeli strike. that is radioactive. they won't speak about it in public. they won't even speak about it in private. obviously that's on their minds. they have made training exercises. they can do it. it is a question of how effective it would be. what i found interesting in response to your questions, bret, is that there was actually an ounce of sincerity in talks about sanctions. i have no faith in them and i'm not sure they would work at all, but i think what netanyahu might be assuming is if there were real sanctions, and that would mean a gasoline cutoff. that's where the iranian regime is really vulnerable. if there were an embargo on gasoline, that would essentially shut down the iranian economy, given the fact that there have been dis

steve hayes, senior writer for the weekly standard and nina easton of fortune magazine and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. nina, how about this debate today? one amendment failed with five amendments failing, five democrats three republicans, and another one three democrats voted to kill the republican option. >> chuck schumer eased the pain of the amendment. he tried to soften the blow of the public option and it was still voted down. the lead out of this is that you are not going to get a public option through the senate without changing the rules of the senate to just have a 15% vote, because what's going to happen is -- bret: the nuclear option reconciliation. >> the nuclear option reconciliation. but what's going to happen is if you pass this through the senate without the republicans, there will be a public option in the house bill. we know that. the liberals of the party are not going to stand down onto public option. it's going to come back to the senate, and you know, these democrats today clearly indicate nad they are not going to vote for a public option, even aft

the very person -- you know senator feinstein came here and had david hayes, the undersecretary. >> interior. sean: salazar came out here. nothing happened had? >> nothing happened. look at our fields. >> let me add, sean, i'm sorry, president obama never visited here when he was running and he never visited here since. he knows what's happening here. he sends his people out. he makes his promises. sean: the big issue. >> would he have not have gone to katrina the day after? sean: this really comes down to. -- in the course of this program we are going to get into the specifics of this. literally the environmentalists and interior department they have all made a decision that, for example, the water can be pumped here. >> through here. sean: to defend this little two inch delta smelt fish. they have decided that the farmers come second and the delta smelt comes first. >> i, in my heart, i can't find all the reasons. in my heart i believe that maybe the president hasn't seen. this i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. sean: how long does he get the benefit of the doubt? >> we don't have mu

let's bring in our panel, steve hayes, senior writer for "the weekly standard", a.b.toddard with the hill and juan williams news analyst for national public radio. steve, what do you expect tonight and how far he will go to tiptoe through the tulips with all the subjects we are dealing with. >> tiptoe is the way to put it. we have seen speech previews an excerpts and what strikes me is the lack of detail in these things. this will be his 29th speech on healthcare, and as of right now, it doesn't seem like he's going to be adding a specificness that people are looking for. bret: one would think there has to be something there. >> one would think. he will talk about the country being confused and not fully understanding what he has been trying to con say with his proposals or the proposals of congress that he is sort of adopting. i think that fundamentally misunderstands the problem. i think people do understand more or less what he is proposing and they don't like t he is going to talk about 3 different things that congress or that these kinds of proposals have to have

samantha hayes for 9 news now and wusa9.com. >>> new this morning, a possible breakthrough in the fight against aids. while you slept researchers unveiled results from a new study. it found experimental vaccine could prevent infection with the aids virus. it cut risk risk by 31%. they admit it is a modest gain but a first step. >>> doctors are stressing get your flu shot this year. a new study finds the nasal flu mist isn't as good. according to research from the last few years, injections were 68% effective in stopping the flu and nasal spray was 36% effective. doctors say get the shot, even if it is not perfect. >> flu sucks and the nasal spray vaccine, they are good vaccines, they are not great vaccines. >> reporter: one snag in that plan could be a shortage of shortage of tamiflu. there is a shortage of the children's version but the adult version is in good supply so pharmacies should be able to grind them up to make the children's version. we are elevenning about a spread of the h1n1 flu at georgetown university. as many as 250 students are infected with the strain. that's a jump

this is just off of hayes street in northeast washington. cars riddled with bullets. residents told us that it happened around 10:00 sunday evening. they heard a flurry of gunshots. some of the residents tell us they were diving under their beds. when they finally came out and the dust cleared, numerous cars all up and down this row had been shot up. now, fortunately nobody that we know of at this point was injured. but residents here are terrified. this of course comes on the heels of the all hands on deck being suspended during labor negotiations and a problem with whether or not officers are being adequately compensated. some residents here are willing to talk to me, but they understandably are afraid and do not want to show their faces. first, i would like to talk to you, ma'am. now, you do live around here. tell me what you heard last night. >> we just heard gunshots, a whole lot gunshots, and so i told my granddaughter, i said jump on the floor, jump on the floor because there was so many gunshots. we just -- and then everybody come running to my door and said y
