put it into words. >> sean: joining me to react to this nonsense is political analyst and friend juan williamsthere's two things that have happened with ambassador rice. she gave wrong information, juan, to the american people. it was false, enough evidence at the time to prove otherwise. she should have raised questions. there's more responsibility for the president, but the more despicable thing is because people are critical, justifiably so, racism, sexism. are we not going to hear this anytime anybody dares to disagree with a liberal, racism, sexism, doggism? is this what we're going to keep hearing? >> it's sad, reprehensible. it shouldn't be going on. i disagree with you on a lot of what you just said on susan rice. i don't understand what the senators are doing. sounds like they have an argument now with the acting cia director who said the changes in the document given to her were made by intelligence officials or fbi officials. okay. i don't understand why they say that they still have questions about what susan rice knew at the time that she spoke on those five shows. >> sean: do you

joining us for the second today is juan williams. the president setting the republicans up to take the blame for all of this. >> well, you know, speaker boehner had a president here in washington. he is very clear that he is not trying to impose his real. he says tax hikes just are not good for the economy. that money should be invested. you are hearing, though, from the white house, we have already put in place a trillion dollars of cuts. we have something on the table. we are the republican proposals. we are talking politics in that nobody wants to go first and really lay out what they are about for fear that there will be a tremendous political consequence on things like cuts to medicare. lori: those cuts, as you know, nearly not enough. the second quarter gdp reading extremely disappointed. let's just call a spade a spade. we know hurricane sandy will shave another point or so off of growth. >> i think it is. that is why despite all of this, what i think of as process, it is a lot of posturing. it is a lot of politicking. people

juan williams and monica crowley are here to look at numbers and tell us what the candidates can do inhe final days. welcome to both of you. >> nice to be here. >> hi, uma. >> the jobs report came out and do you think that adding 170,000 jobs in a month in the final days that news will impact at a time when we have 23 million people unemployed and one out of the six people in poverty and what impact will that have? >> i think most people have made up the mind. the negative is at the heart of gop's mitt romney's campaign . contradictory message is you look at consumer confidence. jobs report yesterday and look at wall street record highs and corporate profits and they are saying we are going in the right direction. but the facts are. you have good moment where you have good feeling and that's good news for the president.t k, he side stepped something if the numbers were bad, you can imagine the republican campaign. >> what do independents want? are they undecided at this point? >> they might be and the race in terms of the popular vote is so close. it being make a difference. the presid

juan williams a fox news political analyst. resting to hear those words about the movement that the president was referencing in 2008. is that movement still with us, juan? >> on some levels it is. i think the movement, someone said to me the other day george mcgovern recently died and it looks like george mcgovern coalition is still behind barack obama. it didn't work for mcgovern. you have the growth in the latino population that could be decisive today. you'll have young people, the emergence of college-ed waited women as a force in american politics. that is the basic coalition behind president obama. i remember being back in iowa in 2008 for fox news and i would go out and look at some of the campaign events for barack obama and just be stunned at how much people in iowa, an overwhelmingly white state invested in him. they wanted to touch him, they were excited by his presence. when he defeated hillary clinton i remember being stunned, i would never have guessed that that was possible for an african-american in iowa. he doe

too white, and too male. >> laura: with me now juan williams and mary katharineham. both are fox news analyst. too white, too male. harry reid. i find this obsession with race and gender instead of ideas to be disturbing. i think an african-american can lose like colonel allen mutt looked like he lost in florida. he was a conservative. he lost. i think white guys can be conservative and win if they are good candidates and they make good ideas that are repealing. democrat, republic. this obsession with welling the ticket has to be all white or all black or brown, white, i just think it's silly. you are nodding your head. you want a color coded ticket. >> no. you are talking about racial bean counting. you are way way lost on this one. i don't get it you are so smart. look at the numbers of what came out tuesday and it looks like huge victory among whites for romney but loses the election. he had a plus 27 advantage among white men. still couldn't put him in the oval office. if you are thinking of it strategically and you want republicans to win. you have to be more in

juan williams on fox news.com. can president obama and his fellow democrats asked seniors and middle-class workers to accept major cuts in the safety net programs? that is the outcome they promised to stop the gop from executing. and how will the president explained why they predicted economic slowdown that could result from harsh automatic cuts in government spending? without a deal, the second term agenda will be lost in a sea of economic fear. and the man who wrote back, juan williams, he joins us now. bradley also joined us, a former deputy assistant george w. bush. you are saying that the popular notion that the president holds all the cards here in this economic negotiation, that notion is not necessarily correct? >> correct. it is a hidden story here. everyone expects after the election, republicans are on the ropes because the president was very clear about wanting to raise taxes and the voters voted for him. but he promised people that he would protect them. if this deal happens, you will see taxes go up o

juan williams and tucker carlson. tucker, set the stage for us.ning. >> you saw this clearly. the press secretary said this is what we want. the president accepts nothing less than raising taxes on the rich. people making over $250,000. republicans in the senate said what they want is unclear. what the president wants is bad. in any negotiation, the person who with the clear objective has profound advantage. in the senate, there are very clear point that they won't go. jeff sessions does, ron johnson does. there is confusion out there. a point we are trying to figure out what the future of the country is, the budget, they are attacking grover norquist who is elected to nothing? i think the republicans would get a better deal if they let us go over the cliff. >> bret: there are democrats who think that it's advantageous to put them over the cliff so the next congress could come back to say this is a retroactive tax cut. all the semantics. republicans are dealing with this closing loopholes and capping deductions since the campaign. mitt romney ran

let's talk about it with juan williams. political analyst. and mary katharine ham, hotair.com. ox news contributor. juan, pick florida, for instance, which don't know where that state will ultimately end up, take, florida, virginia, colorado, nevada, those are states that used to be reliably conservative and seem to have gone into the, well, they all went into the obama category this time. we don't know about florida yet. you change those around, you have got a different president. what happened? >> well i think in large part it was the presence of the latino vote as a significant bloc, jon. i think this is part of the changing face of america in general and population. but in the specific context of last night's election it is the changing face of the american electorate. you take a state like florida, you know, used to be, you would think, it is cuban-americans. now as we heard, puerto ricans, people coming from all over latin america. they are not reliably republican voters. in fact, last night, cuban-americans went for romney but the rest of that latino population, way outnu

juan williams, columnist with the hill. syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. is this part of the kabuki theater, the dance, choreographed back and forth? or are we really looking at something that is in deep trouble here? >> it looks to me more like the theater. the president understandably is going to put out his optimal scenario first. especially since he is going to try to hammer republicans on the greatest vulnerability, the president will say over and over i propose and the senate democrats passed the tax cut, 98% of all americans to take a lot of, a lot of what the fiscal cliff is. move a lot of the damage to the economy on january 1. let's go ahead and pass that. we can debate the upper income taxes and the spending later. it's not implausible, you can make a sophisticated argument why it's a mistake but as a first blush argument the president has the advantage. >> bret: juan? >> i think that you are starting to see much of the posturing and the poxing and the -- positioning and the democrats and president have advantage and trying to take advantage of

brit hume our fox news senior analyst, chris wallace, is fox news sunday and steve hayes, and juan williamsill." we did a special program this afternoon and i was utterly confused looking at the polls. some polls showing the race is died up in pennsylvania, michigan and minnesota and those weren't really tossups those were considered blue. and then other polls showing obama pulling ahead in virginia and florida, which were supposed to be say, on the safer side for romney. how are the viewers suppose today make sense of these, juan? >> they're suppose today look at overall trajectory and what you see of course, we know that mitt romney had some momentum going especially after the first debate and what you can see is subsequent to that then, the polls have sort of, the momentum is stopping in the recent days seen some, really, increases in terms of president obama's lead, but now you're seeing these more recent polls you're referring to megyn and again, you have to look at which poll you're talking about, who are they talking to, talk to go likely voters, talking to registered voters, to peop

fox news's liz cheney and political analyst juan williams. bill, how serious -- do you believe it's morsi claim it's a temporary measure or is this a islamist coo? >> we don't know but we have some influence to make it one over the other. secretary clinton was there and then morsi makes his announcement two days after she levitt the country. this is a place we have no relation with and don't give a lot of aid to so it's a test for the administration. can we pressure morsi and induce morsi to let there be a constitutional process. >> kirsten, how much -- this gets to the question i was discussing with with john mccain. how much can and should the administration do to put pressure on morsi. >> the issue they're facing is egypt plays an important role in the situation with israeli. it's interesting after that happened morsi did that. he has a feeling he has a strong hand. they're going to have to figure out how much they need his support in that situation. so that said, they do need to condemn this kind of antidemocratic behavior i think so make
