joining us now from washington fox news analyst charles krauthammer. so, do i have it right in your opinion? >> well, the. >> bill: are there differences? >> yes. but i think the senate bill is a little bit softer. the proposed senate bill is a little softer than advertised it is true that you have to get certification that the border is closed, is enforced, the border security is working before you can go on to a green card and citizenship. however, what most people have not noticed. is in the senate bipartisan bill, there is essentially instant legalization. the day its signed. everybody gets what you call probationary status look, what that means is, everybody here out of the shadows, registers with the government. tells them where they work, where they live. it is utterly inconceivable that that is ever going to be rolled back everybody knows it's symbolic gesture than everything else. senator rubio was on this program recently and he said this. you have got to do this because it's a chaotic situation. as far as citizenship is concerned. there isn'

that was about 25 years ago, charles krauthammer. [applause] what i want to say to charles is come home. [laughter] come home to the sad, necessary task of building a powerful containment and deterrent strategy against iran. of course of the once and iran with nuclear weapons. of course one wishes to place every obstacle in the way it had the same strategy of containing and deterring them so that eventually, we create circumstances where the young people of iran can take their country back. modernity and freedom and liberty. that is the course we are trying to move on. but there is no fantasy solution that says we cannot tolerate this and we are going to court to war instead and preemptively strike in other country in the middle east and they will love us and embrace us. then the problems of the middle east will go away because we would have gotten rid of that evil deterrence. alas, that is not how it works. international rivals will persist, the middle east will continue to be a complicated place. haven't we just got through a decad

krauthammer's theory that mr. thinks we're too big for our britches and he likes some forms of government spending, most forms of government spending and he's right now we're heading toward massive defense cuts and krauthammer believes it's no accident, and no accidents he chose chuck hagel to be the next defense secretary in his world view he'll do the the dismantling that president obama wants to do, tucker? >> yeah, i mean, that's, look, it's impossible to know always the president's motivations in these things, but there's no question about the fact that defense as you pointed out a second ago, is the one area where the president seems willing or even eager to make difficulties. is that an accident? probably not. look, the single largest driver of the debt and the deficit is medicaid. and medicare. and there's been no willingness on the part of this administration to even have real conversations about cutting that. whereas, they're eager to cut pentagon spending and you're going to see them try to effect that.

charles krauthammer said on the right this was a route for the ds. you disagree. >> normally when the far right and far left are in agreement, the middle makes the most sense. but not in this case. i think this is a very bad long-term deal for democratic priorities and thus for the president. because what we did was to take $3.9 trillion off the table permanently and set up three more fiscal cliffs over the next three months. the sequester, the debt ceiling, then the expiration of the appropriations bills. which will happen in march. and what it does is to say we will never bring in more than 15% of gdp. but we have never had a robust economy when federal spending wasn't about 20% of gdp. because you need that investment in research and innovation and education and skills training and so on. and what's going to happen is that interest on the debt is going to be greater than any of the programs that provide that kind of seed corn investment in our children's future. so that's what we did last night. we concretized revenue as an extraordinarily low rat

fox news political analyst and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer.any hairstyles. domestic issues first. >> if you were a martian people what are the issues facing the united states we will say out of control spending. the poll we had on fox news this week over 80 percent of americans said that you cannot sustain trillion dollar deficits indefinitely. i don't think obama cares at all about that. that is not on his agenda. i think he really is a president who believes his mission is to reduce the inequality. he saw reagan increasing in inequality. he is a leveller. obama care was step one. i crease in spending of the government which was a massive increase in spending. increasing taxation especially on the rich is a third item. i think he wanls to contin-- wa continue that. he wants to get to levels of entitlement that will make much more equality between the classes that's where he wants to go. to do it he will have to raise taxes. that will be one of the number one issues on his agenda to raise taxes way beyond where we have been ever since the reag

>> i agree with howard -- what howard said and i agree with what krauthammer said about the goal. the problem with that is it doesn't obviously lead to a consequential second term t can lead to some political victories in which he's on the right side of public opinion and maybe manages to get through some small initiatives through. by cracking off the republicans. there's -- if you think the big issues of the country are immigration, long-term debt, some of these other structural issues, as obama has said, there's no way to achieve those through the confrontational approach. the confrontational approach he believes is the only one he has. conciliation doesn't work. but it doesn't lead to a consequential second term. chris: hits them hard. go ahead. >> i disagree with that. he thinks he can pick off another -- crack the shell of the republican party, pick off just enough votes to get a lot of his things done. chris: let's go to the question where the fault line is in the republican party. if you're on the other side of the president where he is and you have to con fron him on guns

let's bring in the aforementioned charles krauthammer from washington. charles, i'm getting tired of the petty politics. i don't believe president obama is the problem. we're the problem, the folks. and you say? i think it will be determined by history. your theory, and there are two. that we get the government we deserve, that obama reflects a change political ideology of the country. more people become dependent more people receiving the benefits of government that there is a lot more people who want to suck on the tit of the state. if i can say that oon your show give a little more spice to it. that is europe. the question you are asking, i think, is are we there? i don't think that the 2012 election is a definitive test of your proposition. the reason is obama did not have a opponent who presented a clear and strong argument for reagan knight perspective of stronger government, less taxes, less dependency. you know, romney was a good man but he basically ran on the economy, lousy economy, we need a new ceo in washington. it didn't work. i think we wi

or communism with muskets and malicious republicans knew what those words meant here was charles krauthammer going nuts this was really obama. and i think what's most interesting is that obama basically is declaring the end of reaganism in the speech remember he once said that ronald reagan was historically consequential in a way that bill clinton was not. what obama is that obama had changed the. course of the country in one thousand nine hundred eighty one it is you know you will address where the two minutes reagan had to clear the government is not the solution government is the problem today's inaugural address was a rebuke to that entire idea this speech today was an ode to big government it was so and by the way i agree with krauthammer that. i never thought i'd say that so as president obama going to end the reagan revolution because his plan is fundamentally selfish he thinks we means that government is going to run the lives for everybody else he left out families and kompany individuals from his. role and i think i really think that. but i think that with the direction of what we

syndicated columnist charles krauthammer.mera. steve, listen, analysts left and right, read a lot today characterized this as liberal, progressive. speech that was forward leaning for this president. your thoughts? >> i think it's right. brit hume's characterization earlier during his commentary got it about right. there has been sort of a long-running debate, the past four years in washington, among journalists and others about whether the president is fundamentally a pragmatist or idealogue. this makes clear he is an idealogue and he has been all along with occasional nod toward pragmatism. what struck me about the speech, it was basically a 2 # 00 word sell -- 2200 word activist of government and the good that government can do. it paid scant attention to the cost of -- >> bret: wait a second. >> thank you, sir. appreciate you. thank you.

this morning. >> bill o'reilly and charles krauthammer says they don't have spend to go control the nation dates. >> it is clear presidemr. obamat care about federal spending. you don't run up deficits a trillion dollars a year even with all of this new revenue you don't run up dhoefz sits if you are concerned about fiscal responsibility. clearly the president is not offering any meaningful spending cuts or entitlement reform. after four years he has not offered any solutions to the crushing $16 trillion debt. >> there is not a shred of evidence that obama has any interest in cutting spending. in fact audaciously last night he said oh we have to cut spending so he tossed it out he gave a nod to it then immediately says we have to increase your investments, that's the word that he used if you are a democrat for spending. education, research and development, roads, bridges. he is talking about increasing spending while he's pretending to be interested in the debt. >>> the president has remained firm he is not compromising or negotiating about the debt ceiling. >>> and before you leave

and joining me with reaction to these comments, fox news contributor charles krauthammer. seen the tape, but i knew these quotes existed. and yet we bank rolled them and the president said this was going to work out. what is your reaction to this? >> there's never been any real mystery about what the brotherhood believes. they've been saying this forever. hamas, you remember, gaza is merely the palestinian wing of the muslim brotherhood of egypt, like the little brother and the stuff they've been saying about the israelis is blood curdling, it isn't just anti-israel, and it goes on like that. so, this is what they believe. but i don't think the diplomacy is very simple at this point because clearly there is a very large constituency for the brotherhood in egypt. whether it's a permanent majority or not we don't know, we'll find out. i suspect that when they govern, they're going to lose a lot more support than they had when they were in opposition because they will be a failure, but i do think that we have a dilemma. the fact is that mubarak is gone. the brotherhood is in

krauthammer and the general said. hopefully the administration will take diplomatically very seriously and by some miracle there is a breakthrough in the short run. or that sanctions really change the iranian government's mind and they change course, but the diplomacy, sadgeses, regime in iran are not synchronized with the clock for building iran's nuclear capability. it is quitelike, quite possible that iran may go nuclear before any of these things take effect. before sanctions and vigorous they are produce the result or before there is a democracy movement. then we are really left with two voices. we either find a way to contain and deter a nuclear iran, or we go to war with it. and if we go to war with it, then we have to be prepared for what that war would entail. and it may very well be we would be far more costly and far more destabilizing to the region than the wars in iraq and afghanistan were. we start the sectarian war in the middle east. the shiia-sunni war the commentators talked about is another war that

waiting-- >> one of the observations i had today and i thought my colleague charles krauthammer had adown the gauntlet gave the most liberal partisan speech i can think of in our lifetime. now, and almost he wants to destroy or wipe out the reagan legacy or reaganism with massive big government, social engineering. do you think he'll be successful in this term accomplishing that? >> well, that's our job in the house, to stop this. and think about sort of the outrageous language in the president's speech today. when he wants it talk about social justice, well, darn it, a job is the ultimate social justice. and yet, the policies of this administration have crushed the ability to expand this, this economy. so, how do we now in the house start to use what leverage points we have to force the senate to finally engage in the process of doing what's right? and mr. waldon and i talked about it in the past i think the senate avoided doing a budget because they're terrified of letting the american people understand how bad the numbers are. >> sean: by the way, what you're watching on your scree

that was charles krauthammer, about 25 years ago. [applause]what i want to say to charles is, come home. come home to be sad task of building a powerful containment and deterrence strategy against iran. but once in iran with nuclear weapons. one wishes to place every obstacle in the way. of coarse, we want to have precisely the same strategy that we had in the cold war. so that eventually, we create circumstances where the young people of the iran can take the country back and they will have acquired a desire for modernity and for integration with the west. and for freedom and liberty. that is the course we are trying to move on. there is no fantasy solution out there that says we cannot tolerate this. and we are going to go to war instead. and we will preemptively strike a another country in the middle east. and they will love us for it and embrace us. and the problems of the middle east will go away because we got rid of that evil thing. that is not how it works. international politics and rivalries will persist. the middle east wi
