. >> rose: dexter filkins, gary samore, john mccain and adam grant when we continue. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: we begin tonight with the ongoing crisis in syria. the conflict has claimed more than 70,000 lives since it began two years ago. on friday and sunday, israel launched strikes against syrian military warehouses and installations. it's believed the bombing stemmed from concerns about iranian arms reaching hezbollah in lebanon rather than an attempt to weaken president assad. but the attacks also raised the prospect of american air strikes. last week, evidence mounted to suggest the syrian regime used chemical weapons. president obama previously said that using such weapons would be a red line for the united states. until now, the president has opposed arming the rebels or intervening militarily. joining me is dexter filkins of the "new yorker." his latest report from syria appears in this week's issue. also joined by gary samore of harvard's kennedy school. until february of thi

hillary clinton, maybe lisa adams. johny's wife who together with her husband proved america's first power couple. the subject of the fascinating book just out, america phoenix. welcome. i do want to get into that, but it did remind me, as your budget, about sort of the unappreciated role of first ladies are significant others in moments like these. michele obama has not come out one way or the other. not the gst, but she is always standing by her husband and remains decidedly more popular how will that will play out as this in shoes? >> certainly the first lady, the president's wife brings her own talents to the table. and oftentimes she will play a more will, of truth telling role . because she is so popular. that helps keep them out of trouble a little bit. it raises his popularity as a result. his wife is doing so well. neil: pat nixon was a very quiet introverted first lady. it was not as if she could help her beleaguered husband one where the other. she was respected, but michele obama has a different relationship wit

no, i would say the first power couple in washington were john and abigail adams.e first power couple in the presidency were martha and george. >> another call. delighted to have people watching in venezuela. lindsay is in pennsylvania. what is your question. ? have a question either, but i thought it might be fun for your viewers to know i am a relative. my made in middle name was burchard -- my made in middle my maiden name was burchard. theund out he had quite sense of humor and ended up riding a bicycle through the white house. i thought your viewers might get a kick out of knowing that. >> thank you so much. did he have a sense of humor? >> he did. it was a bit understated. he cut up apples at the dinner table and tossed the people at -- the pieces at the people at the table. he could also tell a joke. lucy hayes gave birth to eight children, five of whom went to adulthood. >> we have more than 100 hayes descendents in our databases. we have four members of the family on our board of directors. we had a reunion a couple of years ago. a couple of the descendent

. >> john: for more on what might be possible to end the suffering at guantanamo bay with or without congress' approval, i'm joined by adam serwer from mother jones. pleasure to have you. >> thank you for having me. >> john: the bush administration transferred over 500 prisoner from guantanamo to their home countries without a peep. when did the obama administration stop transfers and why haven't the 86 prisoners who have been cleared for release been sent home? >> the last detainee to be transferred out of guantanamo was omar qotr was transferred to serve out his sentence. the reason the obama administration is having so much trouble with the 86 is it is not just a matter of transferring them to their own countries. they need to find third countries to take them and that's very difficult from a diplomatic perspective, not in all cases but in many cases because you know, the united states has refused to take any themselves and other countries simply don't want to shoulder that responsibility when the united states isn't playing its part. >> john: of course, the concern -- >> certainly obama could be transferring more deta

john, the president was adamant today his administration was as transparent as it could have been in these first hours after bengha benghazi. as soon as they had more information, they released it. obviously none of this will satisfy his critics nor prevent such attacks in the future, will it? >> reporter: no, it won't. see in the president's face the moment the question turned from the irs to benghazi. his face pinched. he looked at the reporter with what i describe as a death ray glare. when it comes in this issue, bengha benghazi, especially what was done to u.n. ambassador susan rice in the early days of this faux controversy, the president has been rather angry and upset by what's happened to susan rice, hillary clinton, thomas pickering, admiral mullen, the two men who were charged with the independent review of what happened. and also i think the reason why the president is angry about this is because republicans are focused on talking points and not focused on what actually happened that night and what led to a diplomatic post being lightly secured. we have to go all the way

and then john quintscy adams. forget who the others were. >> caller: i don't know but i am going to be 80 years old on my next birthday. and i certainly hope i live to see it happen. >> bill: i am confident, joann. >> that's what florida is all about. long age, long life, and a good life. i think you are going to get a chance to vote for the first woman president of the united states. i do think that if hillary runs that elizabeth warren and kir city council jillibrand would not run against her but again, we should not think. i think it's very important not to think of this mpotus campaign as a hillary for president campaign. it is not. just like, you know saying it would be great to have an african-american president. it's not necessarily all about barack obama. it could have been about al sharpton at one time b jesse jackson. but the first woman president, just to have a neem office how great that would be for this country and what a great message that would send out to like those little girls who were in that e

i'm a parent, i think it's every parent's nightmare to think of what happened to john walsh's son adamn their anger and frustration into something positive and they created the national center almost 30 years ago in their garage. and did the right thing. they turned their grieving process into something positive. once you become a parent, you realize they're living my nightmare of something happening to my child. and that's all the impetus i needed for my wife and i to get involved in the national center many years ago and continue working for their progress. >> bryan cranston, thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you, carol. >> you're welcome. >>> coming up next, more of our special live coverage out of cleveland, ohio. another family still waiting for good hopeful news about a family member who has been missing since 1995. we'll tell you about that. ♪ [ female announcer ] from more efficient payments. ♪ to more efficient pick-ups. ♪ wireless is limitless. and i have a massive heart attack right in my driveway. the doctor put me on a bayer aspirin regimen.
