>> that is pretty scary stuff, mort? >> it is scary stuff. and i think a lot of people who who have followed this issue closely share the same view. this is not something i dreamt up. this is a very serious problem facing this country. and anything could turn it in the wrong way. you never know what kind of an event would in effect cause everybody to say we're not going to buy american debt any longer. 50% of our debt today is held by foreigners. when we came out of world war ii, we had zero debt held by foreigners. so we're dependent on the world to continue to buy our debt and why do we have to sell debt? because we run huge deficits every year. at some point this is going to blow up. >> hold on, mort. hold on for a minute. we have a debt rating, every nation has a debt rating, right? >> right. >> what is our debt rating? >> triple a. double a. >> double a in one of the accounts. the problem, john -- >> who puts out those ratings? >> moody's is one. >> credit rating agencies. >> what about something in poors, standard & poor's, they put it

. >> thoughts on this, mort? the subject is hagel. >> i feel i'd much rather talk about women, but if you insist, i'll talk about hagel. look, i think he's a very well respected senator. the point about it is, i think implicit in what was just referred to, obama is very comfortable with him. the major appointments are people he's very comfortable with and knows well personally, and i think that's the kind of person he wants to surround himself for his second term. >> now, you know netanyahu. this is not privileged information, but what conclusions would you draw from a hagel nomination? netanyahu might conclude the u.s. is not serious about keeping open the option of a pre-emptive strike. do you hear me on that? >> i think netanyahu knows exactly what his problems are in that part of the world, and he will do his best to deal with them without going to war. doesn't mean he has an easy hand to play but he also is going to have to deal with this administration which probably is not the most friendly administration
