these are bad people. >> bret: steve, to charles' point about not getting to the bottom of benghazi and those terrorists, who killed the u.s. ambassador there, and seeing that tunisia let go, do you agree it sends a message? >> no question. this is not just benghazi. remember, on september 11, the days immediately following we had attacks on the u.s. facilities throughout the region. we have had attacks on the embassy in tunisia. on september 14. you had the flag flying in egypt. you had all of the attacks on u.s. interest throughout the region with basically no response from the u.s. government. i don't think there is any question that they are emboldened. the key thing to remember here. we talk about this last night. the groups have been growing in strength over the past several years. this is not the first person to do it. the commander in july said, "the u.s. government missed an opportunity to deal with al-qaeda in the aqim when they had a chance." that devastating indictment from the administration. >> bret: we will hear more about the policy arguments ahead of secretarybe clinton

steve hayes, juan williams and charles krauthammer. steve?e quote you read is offensive. its clownish view of what people have been arguing both with respect to protecting national security but the threat that iranian poses to the united states of america. i think one of the areas in which hagel has shown himself to be president obama's left, and he has in a variety of different places, is the question of iran. hagel ruled out a military strike would be unreasonable, it would be foolish to do that. something that the obama administration despite fact i think they have taken a rather accommodating and patient approach has never done. the second one he proposed establishing an interest section in tehran at a time we knew, we had increasing evidence of the efforts that the iranians were make to kill u.s. soldiers on the ground in afghanistan and iraq. they were making progress on nuclear weapons. chuck hagel is proposing establishing that in tehran. i think its bad step. if you believe as i do the obama administration has meant a degradation of

syndicated columnist, charles krauthammer. steveoughts on the vice president's comments and the overall effort? >> the first thing must be said people who thought the creation of the commission would mean the white house would duck serious attempts to do something, were wrong. that is not the case. white house is proceeding. it seems to be taking an aggressive path. nobody should be surprised that the white house would do executive action that they could don't with congress. they have done it on issues from immigration to series of others. that is, it rings true when joe biden says they will push that aggressively. i think, you know, what they are likely to do is push for greater enforcement through the executive action. things like background checks. encouraging other federal government agencies to provide information in their possession to the f.b.i. to help compile more information on people who could be threats to get guns. the smaller, the lower hanging fruit of the debates. they are likely to pursue the bigger picture, assault

charles krauthammer. and justin powers and steve hayes. charles? >> obama has showed in his first term that he thinks large. he sees himself as a historical president who will change the united states. he actually said, in the way that reagan was historically... important president in a way that a clinton or a nixon was not. he sees himself in that mode. he has accomplished in the first term something revolutionary, with national health care, that liberals have dreamed of for a hundred years and succeeded in increasing the tax scplefl spending level in a country that was unprecedented. so i think he wants to go very large in the second term, in that -- i think we he will try to do it on immigration. initially, he will try on guns. but i think he wants to push us towards a european state -- more entitlementsments and raise the revenue so we become much more like a european social democratic state. he might have some success. >> i think a lot of liberals would be thrilled if that was the case. you hear this a lot, that he is going to be this transfor

steve, do you buy what charles was saying about the president's motivation here politically?ink he is right about the consequences of it. i do think he succeeded in dividing republicans and you also have a situation where republicans having given in on this principle, this long held principle of not raising rates now the president no doubt will ask again and again and again to say well, now i have -- i think we need more on rates. i think we need more on revenues. the speaker offered us this money on revenues. i don't think there is any question the president has said it and we heard sandy levin say it tonight that he is going to ask republicans to do more on the revenue side. what i think the republicans can say is we focused on the revenue and first step was all revenue and it has got to be spending. that is the source of the problem and everybody understands that. >> bret: this vote is continuing. we will take a quick break. the house votes on a big bill. ♪ that over time, having high cholesterol and any of these risk factors can put them at increased risk for plaque build

steve hays, amy stoddard and charles krauthammer. charles? >> i think the president laid down the marker. we have to increase investments which is democratic way of saying spending growth, bridges, are indeed education etc.. so it's clear he wants to increase spending he's willing to give a nod to a cut here and there but wants more spending and more taxes that. is what he said again and again. we have to raise revenues, close loopholes so he's going get a seconds shot at raising taxes. that, i think is his objective. he repeated this idea i'm not going to debate. speaking about raising the debt ceiling. i think that is a bluff he cannot keep. he's going to put the economy in jeopardy. last time we had a debt ceiling issue his pop lrt sank. sank from republicans in the house i'm not sure he wants to carry that risk. >> i think charles is right he's going take another shot at raising taxes. i don't know if he's going to get another shot. he did make it clear spending cuts are on the table but it has to be balanced and he is sounding like he is
