juan and mary katharine will deal with it. caution, you where to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the american left and national security. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. many liberal americans are finally being confronted about their apparent hypocrisy on national security issues. at issue is president obama's killer drone program. >> it will be quite interesting to hear democrats, liberals who spend half a decade apoplectic about enhanced interrogation of the bush administration up until now have been silent about a program which doesn't interrogate people harshly but kills them without a judge or jury or even a lot of evidence. >> bill: that is the crux of the matter. now, i think it's safe to say many conservatives support president obama's drone attacks. most conservatives also favor president bush's use of enhanced interrogation, waterboarding in particular to get vital information from captured terrorists. the left however loudly condemned waterboarding la

mary katharine ham, editor-at-large at hotair.com. julie roginsky, former political advisor to new jersey senator frank lautenering about. both are fox news contributors. ladies, thanks so much for being here. mary katherine, let me start with you, 48% of the respondents think we're weaker now than we were five years ago. that is twice as many as those that think we're stronger . what do you think is going on here? >> i think lowered expectations are sort of a theme for the first obama four years and, he did get reelected but that does not mean he has supreme confidence in the american people. i think you see that coming through in a lot of these numbers. and you know, frankly people look around them. even though the unemployment rate, for instance is the same as when he took office, the bureau of labor statistics says we lost 8.5 million people from the workforce. people see that in their lives. alisyn: julie, how do you explain that people think we're getting weaker? >> first and foremost this poll was done, five years ago, bear stea

let's bring in bob beckel, former campaign manager, co-host of "the five" and mary katharine ham.tor-at-large of hot air.com. welcome to you both. bob, why do you think he did that? why clear the room at that point. >> let me get my ear put back in. the reason he did it because he was going to beat up on congress really hard about sequestration and he didn't want that to be sort of lead coming out of his discussions with them. having said that, my guess it would be leaked pretty quickly. let's face it, he just doesn't much like the white house press corps and he figured out ways around them as his campaign did. he has taken that model. it is frustrating for them. i can understand that. i think it is the way he decided he would communicate. martha: let's look at this it about of montage of sound the way that this administration began its tenure. let's look at that. >> let me say it as simply as i can. transparency and the rule of law will be the touch stones of this presidency. if taxpayer money is involved i have got a responsibility to insure some transparency and accountability.
