have now joining the conversation from washington "time" magazine senior correspondent michael crowley. john kerry got these negotiators together in washington last month. he's said that the palestinian president is committed to holding these peace talks with israel. so from your per spektdive, what you know from your sources, why would prime minister netanyahu potentially have put these talks in jeopardy at this stage? >> well, a lot of what happens around the talks -- i mean, we don't know for sure. a lot of it is posturing for domestic audiences. each side does things and reacts to the other side as part of somewhat of a choreographed dance. i think to some degree, you know, you see the settlement announcement around the same time as the prisoner release. that's probably not a coincidence. john kerry said these announcements were largely unsurprising. it might have been a little more than they were anticipating. i think to some degree what's happening here is each side has to show they're going into the negotiations where they're not caving, they're protecting the interests of their peopl

. >> i want to start with comments made this morning by john mccain on cnn. he told candy crowleyhe u.s. lost credibility in egypt and the u.s. should cut off aid all together. then candy asked him to describe the obama administration's overall policy toward the middle east. >> there is no policy and there is no strategy. therefore, we react and we react poorly. >> obviously harsh words from senator mccain. what do you think? does he have a point? >> i think even obama advisors would be hard pressed to tell you what is the obama doctrine when it comes to the middle east? is it whack-a-mole via drone policy, speak loudly, carry a trig or infamously lead from behind. we've seen a patch work of approaches that are contradictory. we helped lead the strikes from libya to try to liberate libyans from gadhafi's rule. we did that to protect ben ghazi. benghazi became a death trap for our american ambassador and three other americans. the perpetrators still haven't been brought to justice. i don't think anyone can pinpoint what is obama's strategy is for u.s. policy and u.s. interest visa

john mccain just returned from egypt. he was on state of the union with candy crowley. is halting the shipment a viable answer? it ra's not an answer, a via thing to do. they could do it. whether they will do it, everybody says no. but indicating symbolically, the u.s. really does need to do mor more. >> with apache helicopters flying overhead, nothing is more symbolic of the united states of america siding with the generals. we could be cutting off the aid, the spare parts and maintenance of these military equipment we've given the egyptian is important to their capabilities. >> the drumbeat gets louder over suspending the entire $1.5 billion in aid. does the white house need to change its tune? >> if definition of "need" is therefore things will change in egypt, no, because again, nobody thinks things will change in egypt. certainly, the president left that door open to suspending aid at the very least. if we continue to see the kinds of scenes that we saw, of those crackdo crackdowns, where 700, 800, the numbers, if you know, are fairly unreliable, hundreds of egyptians died, if we continue to see that, i s

let's bring candy crowley into this conversation as well. these demographics that john just highlighted have been around for a while. >> they have been around. the republican party has long been seen as party of older white, mostly males. what's changed is the demographics of the country. and i remember talking to jim gilmore when he was head of the republican national committee decades ago and he said we've really got to get into these african-american communities with african-american supporters and be there not just on election day but throughout time. and nothing. so this is going to take a while for republicans to try to correct. i mean, the demographics are totally running against what is now the typical republican base. and it's going to take a while for them to reach out, it's going to take a couple of issues, it's not going to happen overnight. >> chris christie, the governor of new jersey up for reelection, he's expected to win decisively, even in a democratic state like new jersey. he's pretty blunt in discussing these issues. i'm play a little clip. he spoke

crowley. michael, it's great to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> i'm going to get right to it. where's the president? >> well, he was keeping a safe distance. for several months john kerry was trying to pull these talks together. he traveled to the region six times. obama was hanging back not saying much about it. he put a little bit of his stamp on things when the talks commenced this week and obama showed up and he met with negotiators, did photo ops and i think it was a sign that was probably necessary because people were saying, where is the president? is john kerry freelancing? did he say, kerry, you go off and give it a try and let me know if it's going somewhere? i think people in the region were wondering how invested the president is. obama's said i'm paying attention. this is important to me. but it still remains to be seen whether he's going to really stick his neck out, take any political risk, try to put anything specific on the table that could come back and bite him. that wouldn't come for a little while still so he's still keeping a little bit of a distance, i think. >> michael, in your article you write it's not kerry who can broker a peace break
