jonathan allen, an overall assessment about whether or not democrats take back the house in 2012. guest: the map that congressman steve israel is talking about where he has 75 on the board is bigger than most prognosticators do as an independent location will look at. he talked about winning 25 or 30 seats. he has to do that as a net. right now it's not there. whether that changes over the next nine months is another issue. a lot of times it takes a while. if you ask people in 2010, and sutter, the would have said the democrats will lose seats but not lose the house. you look at republicans now and say that they are likely to lose some seats. host: jessica taylor, you mentioned this. in your analysis, and in the report, he's saying it could be close to 25. but your analysis shows that it is 5-12. 12 at the most. guest: 12 could even be a generous assumption. democrats, a great night for them would be 12-20. that puts them a little bit closer in 2014. even some democratic strategists said that as when they could close the gap, depending on what happens in the presidential race. the

jessica taylor and jonathan allen of "politico." jessica, you have the first question. go ahead. >> congressman israel, thanks for joining us here. you talked about in recent months about the generic ballot, the national democrats "wall street journal" had you up for six points. by our calculations, the 25 seats you need to gain back the house, best case scenario, we have you at about 12 right now. how can you make this work in some of these more competitive districts? ones that maybe haven't gone your way in redistricting? and especially with the president at atop a ballot that won't be -- -- be a help in some of these swing districts? >> the generic is one of the most certain indicators of success or failure in history. in 2006 when we were in the minority we were up about five points in the generic and we won. in 2010 when we were in the majority the republicans were up about five or six in the generic and they won. so it is a good indicator. right now as you said we're up in every single generic ballot so we're in a better place than anybody would have thought we wo

but jonathan edwards went after the wilderness and eventually became president of princeton, which are the same day. i can say it. i went there. and ethan allenwent there and get in trouble right away. he opened the lead mines. people thought at the time where there was glad. and he swore a lot with those workers as people do in mines. in the crochet cotton spec and it finally brought them up on charges. again, profanity this time. so he was fine and convict did. he sold his interest in the lead mines. but when the fellow who brought the mind should have been shift at the settlement but that the money, allen was stripped to the waist and thrashed. he was arrested. but then the fellow left town and got his friends to come back and ethan allen this time straight to the waist and got out his wit and there is another altercation this timing was right out of northampton massachusetts. but then where do you go? yet a family. he left his wife and children with his younger brother who asserted the famous one of the clan, human allen who ran a prosperous tory. ethan allen for the next four winters went up into his now empty land. the french had left h

administration and general allen made it worse by every apology, by every public statement of our administration of making a mistake. pouring gasoline on the fire. i talked to jonathanabout this yesterday and i predicted this was going to happen. jenna: let me ask you about the apology. >> sure. jenna: why do you believe the apology emboldens our enemies rather than pacify them? >> it is a statement of weakness, jenna. we have done things completely in reverse as a nation. you always want to negotiate from a position of strength. one of the things we're trying to do is get the taliban to re-energize itself as member of society. what we done announced our departure. we're expecting them to come in and be good guys. this, jenna, adds to their boldness. the reason we're negotiating with us, blood is the in water. they're like sharks. frankly we're negotiating for nothing. we would expect them to tell the people to back off if they were really good partners in the negotiation. this is where the current team doing this, with the administration is completely out of touch with realities of situation. jenna: what should they be doing instead? >> well, first off we're beyond
