joining me now, jeffrey goldberg for the atlantic. we've been watching netanyahu for many years, through all of his inkrcarnations. >> very right wing. >> exactly. >> he is american raised and raised in suburban philadelphia cheltenham high school he knows what a state of the union looks like and now a target of a serious investigation of ethics issues leading up to this election two weeks from now is elly, the icon of the holocaust. >> the staging was unbelievable. it has an air of unbelievability to this because this seemed like the republican response to the state of the union in some ways. a foreign policy response to an obama -- >> on the grand scale. >> you don't get a republican response like that to a state of the union. the interesting thing for me the topic was -- the text was iran but subtext was obama. the target of this speech was president obama, john kerry, their negotiators and basically his message was, do not trust obama to get a good deal. he is too naive. despite all of the rhetoric kelly pointed out obama has done

i'm joined by jeffrey goldberg national correspondent for "the atlantic."n "charlie hebdo" and kosher supermarket and latest article is the cover story for the atlantic magazine. is it time for jews to leave -- is it time for the jews to leave europe? >> the problem with headlines is that the word europe for instance, takes in 20 25 countries that are relevant to this issue. there are places like france which has half of europe's jews where thousands and thousands are asking themselves that question and making the decision to go. there are other countries where the situation is much less dire. i think what i found is that it is becoming increasingly difficult for jews to lead openly jewish lives in many parts of europe. what i mean by that it becomes harder to go to synagogue and becomes more dangerous to send children to a jewish school and more dangerous to dress in an identifiably jewish way. is the future bright? no it's not particularly bright at the moment. >> you're there in berlin of course that iconic picture of the gate behind you. what is the sit

thank you, charlie. >> rose: when we come back i turn the program over to jeffrey goldberg in washington who has a conversation with ben rhodes of the national security council. >> goldberg: i'm jeff goldberg of the atlantic magazine filling in for charlie rose who is anchoring cbs news. we continue tonight's coverage of benjamin netanyahu's speech to congress. joining me is ben rhodes, deputy national security advisor for strategic communication for speech writing. we heard the president say he heard nothing new. this speech going to damage the president's cause? >> i don't think so. the president said there's nothing new because we have been hearing the arguments from prime minister netanyahu privately and publicly for some time. he made clear his opposition to the type of deal we're pursuing. we've heard different arguments we've heard from different places from the prime minister pulled together in one place. the president said he made similar arguments a year ago and that was born out as a successful effort to halt iran's program and roll it back in certain elements. so the prime mi

the middle east peace negotiator and jeffrey goldberg from "the atlantic." jeff, you've watched netanyahu over many many years. what he did in the last 48 hours was really pretty telling. >> yeah it was fairly breathtaking. it's the most dramatic aspect of this election in a kind of way. the results are not actually that dramatic. he basically won by cannibalizing voters from the other right-wing parties, people who had been voters and had come home. in other words, he didn't expand the right-wing camp, but he took a mask off, if you will. the most consequential thing, obviously, is to basically say no palestinian state. i don't see any conditions in which a palestinian state will be formed which goes against the wishes of many israelis obviously, and also europe and the obama administration. of course, the palestinian authority. the other thing he did, which you just mentioned, is he played -- i just posted this on "the atlantic" magazine website. he played the israeli version of a southern strategy and basically tried to scare his base into coming out and

tonight we take a look at the israeli elections with jeffrey goldberg ari shavit yousef munayyer lisa goldman. >> this was a refer run demon benjamin netanyahu. he won big time. he is perceived in israeli as the only presidential figure that attempts to replace and fill. this was also a referendum of hope versus fear. and sadly fear won over hope. >> rose: we conclude this evening with helen mirren. she's back on broadway in a new play called "the audience" and once again she plays queen elizabeth. >> the only thing that prime ministers have said is that they tell they could say things to the queen that they couldn't say to thin else am because she's in a position of knowledge but at the same time she's got to keep her mouth shut. so they felt they felt free with her, and in a way it became a kind of for some of them t became a kind of a strength. >> rose: the meaning of the israeli elections and the talents of helen mirren when we continue. >> funning for charlie rose is provided by the following: >> rose: funding for "charlie rose" has been provided by: >> rose: additional funding p

joining us for some analysis on prime minister netanyahu's speech to congress jeffrey goldberg of "the atlantic" take us out of this political back and forth and talk about the stakes of the u.s. relationship with israel. >> the stakes are the u.s. relationship with israel and even greater stakes are what is going to happen with iran nuclear deal. that is historic feature here. in the way perverse genius of netanyahu he's made this week very much about the partisanship of this speech. his own election and everything else. maybe this is what is going to happen wednesday after the netanyahu speech going to realize this is about a very dangerous moment for president obama. he is moving toward an historic adversary, he's about to make a deal that lot of people including people who support the idea of a deal, think might be weak. so we're heading into an incredibly tense period not only between israel and united states but united states and all of its arab allies who are also nervous job you write that netanyahu is hurting his own cause what do you mean? >> i mean that this is a fairly nake

jeffrey goldberg thank you so much. >>> moving to russian now.r of an outspoken critic of president vladimir putin. boris nemstov was gunned down many what's being called russia's highest profile assassination in neck kads. nemstov was a former deputy prime minister who pushed for democracy in moscow. >> look at this picture that broke on the wires friday night. his body is right there in front of the kremlin. >> well, he planned to release information detailing russia's military involvement in ukraine and lead a demonstration on sunday against the kremlin. if you're just wondering maybe perhaps what surrounds the concept of his murder. . tens of thousands of people marched in moscow to honor his memory. >> this march is meant, of course, to have been a protest against the war in ukraine. boris nemstov would have been one of the faces at the front. he is one of the ironies that his face here is now everywhere as the crowd approaches the bridge and the point where he was killed. overlooking the scene, the walls of the kremlin from where many peopl

>>when we come bac i turned the program to jeffrey goldberg who has a conversation with ben rhodes. ♪> i am jeff goldberg filling in for ben rhodes. -- filling in for charlie rose. joining me now is inroads. -- banden rhodes. thank you for being here. is this beach going to damage the president's cause? >> we had been hearing these arguments privately and publicly for some time. he has made clear his opposition to the type of deal we are pursuing. we heard a lot of different arguments we have heard in different places, pulled together in one . the president made similar arguments before the joint plan of action was agreed to. that has been borne out as a successful effort. again, the prime minister has been clear about his view. we don't think he is putting forward an alternative to deal with iran getting a nuclear weapon. >> i'm surprised the emotional effectiveness of the speech. as a speechwriter, did you find it at all convincing? did you find anything that made you worried as essentially the adversary here? >> we are not adversaries. israel is one of the closest friends we have i

joining me now from berlin, via phone, jeffrey goldberg. he is a national correspondent for "the atlantic magazine." from jerusalem, ari shavit, a columnist and author of "my promised land." yossi halevi is a fellow and author of "like dreamers." from tel aviv, ronen bergman, a senior military correspondent. in washington, yousef manayyer a palestinian american author and executive director of the u.s. campaign to end the israeli occupation. here with me in new york, lisa goldman. she is the israel palestine fellow at the new america foundation. i begin first, ronen, with you. tell me, because we only have 10 minutes on the satellite with you, and i want to get you in early, tell me what happened in this election. ronen: i think that this was not a vote for netanyahu. he is not a magician. i think people dislike him in israel. he lost much of the trust. the final result just proved that this is a right wing nation. most of the people belong to the far right or central right, and people believe after 20 years of failed peace process there is

sometimes talking, like last summer picking on the president's foreign policy in an interview with jeffrey goldberg on atlantic. next week when the ferguson thing blew up, going dark for a month before she addressed what everyone in the country was talking about i think those poll numbers suffered damage. i think it will be interesting after it has been around a few weeks. jon: we -- >> we haven't seen emails. this may be the tip of iceberg. jonah, i want to look at the republican side with you. we mentioned it is a very crowded field there. take a look at jeb bush's negatives, positives. he is upside down, 23% view him favorably 34% see i am unfavorably. give us your take on these numbers. >> i think these numbers are pretty well reflect what we've senor -- known for a while now that the bush brand is a problem for jeb bush far more than the clinton brand is a problem for hillary clinton. and, i hate talking about brands but it's a good shorthand how to get at this. there are a lot of people on republican side who are more eager to have a fresh face out there than there are on the democratic side.

here to discuss the politics of today's speech jeffrey goldberg from the atlantic and a senior associate associate at the carnegie endowment. thank you for being here. so much has been said about the friction between obama and metten hue. jeff, let me start wu. lasting damage between the relationship between the two done today you think? >> yes. but i think it was done before the speech as well. i sthithink there's no trust between the two of them. i think obama feels like netanyahu is trying to actively subvert one of his goals and i think it goes deeper than that. they want to on the one hand share intelligence, analysis but they feel the israelis are going to leak this out in order to subvert the talks. so in this coming period where there's going to have to be intense dialogue between these two allies, israel and the u.s. there's zero trust between the two. >> kareen what do you think the impact the speech had on the negotiators. the official hypewefficial line is it has no impact whatsoever. but do you think it helps the americans make the case, this is the alternative if you don't

let me read from jeffrey goldberg, who is known as a very sympathetic writer to israel. but he writes, -- >> david, the president, we're told tonight, raised that issue directly in his discussions with netanyahu. >> yeah i wouldn't be surprised if he did, because that was such an inflammatory gesture on the part of netanyahu. what happened ari, he came here and did make a speech to congress. richard was right, it was aimed at that audience that conservative right wing audience not conservative but right wing audience in israel. it didn't have the effect that he hoped. then he stepped on the gas in the end, because he was concerned about the polls that had him trailing. and he did cannibalize those right wing parties. now he'll have a right wing and religious party coalition there. in his last cabinet, he had some moderate influences. there won't be those influences this time. so as you say, it's a little worrisome as to whether he will tack to the center or he'll stick with the base that he's put together now. one thing that interested me about your open is i wonder if s

jeffrey goldberg said it would be clam tus, the way you talkeded about not going for a palestinian state. >> i explained what it is we need. we need a demilitarized state -- >> tell your supporters. >> very, very important. i'm very proud to be the prime minister of all of israel citizens, arabs and jews alike. >> that's now the way it sounded on election day. >> if you heard what i said you might reconsider what you said and quoted. i'm proud of the fact israel is the one country in a very broad radius which arabs have free and fair elections, that will never change. i met a few days ago with the arab supporters many arab supporters north of the country. i said i'm concerned with a massive foreign funded money -- >> which foreign money, u.s. money? >> big ngos. >> you said tens and millions of dollars. >> definitely millions and it looks like maybe tens of millions of dollars -- >> from america? >> among other places foreign fund raising, that's important. but what has happened is that i said they would try to get out votes for a specific party and amall ga mason of islamists and other

here is what jeffrey goldberg wrote on friday. netanyahu is engaging in behavior that is without precedent. he's apparently so desperate to stay in office he let the republicans weaponize the country in the struggle against the democratic president they despise. >> you know, i don't have the ability to judge what effect this will have on netanyahu in the elections going on in israel. his whole line of thought among israeli political analysts that are coming here will hurt him. i think he's coming here i'll take him at his word. he's coming here because as he said no responsible duly elected prime minister of israel at a moment like this, when he thinks not only the security of the state, but the very existence of the state may be on the line and the negotiations with iran about nuclear weapons. he couldn't say no. i think we all got to listen to him, and then go forward with what we're going to do. but this is the role of congress since the founding of our country, congress and the president have struggled for the privilege of det

people that have been big observers of the entire debate including the atlantic monthly, jeffrey goldberg the only thing that would be new in netanyahu's speech yesterday is if he proposed a solid alternative on what you should do other than what the western countries, including the united states are trying to do in getting a deal with iran. tamron, important to note there are two dates to keep in mind as we follow this story and the fallout going forward. one is march 17th the day of israel's own elections. many observers ended up saying netanyahu's speech yesterday was more of a political speech than one dealing with policy. the other date march 24th. that's the deadline for the west and iran to wrap up talks. doesn't seem there's going to be another extension beyond march 24th. march 24th is becoming put up or shut up time to strike a deal. once that deal is struck then we will look at the details. >> all right, thank you very much, mark. see you tomorrow. thank you. >> thanks tamron. >>> up next we have been talking about this guest, curt schilling will join me live with what some are

but we have jeffrey goldberg that netanyahu has a credible case to make.nd any agreement at all with an empire building assad sponsor, yemen conquering israel loathing terror regime is a dicing pro position. how are we not canceling out our interests by paying for most of israel's defense? >> well i'd make a few points. obviously first we believe it's in israel's security interest that we get a diplomatic agreement with iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon. i didn't hear prime minister netanyahu put forward any alternatives today and some we heard before to a negotiated agreement, either put more sanctions on take a military option, many of those alternatives are wholly unrealistic, all experts agree on this or give us much less transparency and visibility into iran's nuclear program. if we can get a double digit agreement that gives us transparency into their nuclear facility and leaps and bounds beyond where it is today, we think that's in the best interest of israel security. let me be clear, we have serious concerns about iran's other desta

. >> when we get certain reaction jeffrey goldberg saying the case against the iranian regime is strongncessions is strong but what is the plan netanyahu saying israel will stand alone and we're vested as taxpayers committed by president bush over $30 billion plus to the investment of their security. they will not stand alone. they'll always be supported by taxpayer dollars. >> united states has been the checkbook power for years and to support them militarily, that's a fact of life. it's fascinating for the -- first of all somebody called him the head of state, head of government, to come into our government and legislative body and say here's what you guys ought to do and where your president is wrong. i can get a better deal. what is the better deal? he never mentioned europe never mentioned france or britain or russia. so basically saying no deal. and that means, this is the irony here that means that iran will march towards a nuclear weapon without any restraints. i don't see how that helps israel at least obama is coming up with a plan to slow them down and keep an eye on them if

widespread criticism globally and criticism from such commentators as tom friedman and joe kleine and jeffrey goldbergpt to suppress the arab vote and was bigoted and racist. he said he's not a bigot or racist, that in fact he has support ed supported arab israelis. he was simply trying to get his supporters out and not trying to stop arabs from voting, so he is denying that. he also says president obama has not yet called him. he's sure that president obama will call him, that he did talk to john kerry after the election which, of course has been widely reported and, again, spoke very strongly against the iran nuclear deal acknowledging that iran is going to have to have some nuclear capacity. it's not a zero option. i asked him about the reaction to today's reporting that the draft agreement is to let iran have 6,000 centrifuges for a period of ten years or a little more and he said that his point is it should not be a bad deal because iran has to change its behavior around the world and its support for terrorism before he thinks that they should have nuclear power that could eventually be converted

as jeffrey goldberg has said what it really does is if this thing breaks down it gives the iranians aicans that did it and that hurts any, any chance to continue multilateral sanctions. it was just dumb. >> that's ridiculous. so the critique of the letter is either everyone knew this already, so it was pointless, or this has been unbelievably damaging, because it exposed something in the middle of the negotiations which is -- >> you know what? they could be damaging but luckily, tom cotton's not big enough to be damaging. he's just a freshman senator. >> just a fresh manhattanman senator. >> i love this now notion. freshman senator is not allowed to have an opinion on this. >> he absolutely allowed to have an opinion on this. and i think you make that point well. and i think the way washington is built is there are many platforms for this discussion in the halls of congress on the pages of the newspapers out in the open forum, on this show. come on bill. >> and this was an open letter. this was an open letter. democratic senators privately met with ortega and nicaragua and with others
