. from washington, the mclaughlin group, an american original, the best sources, hardest talk. >> mr. modi comes to washington. >> it is an trexaordinary pleasure to welcome prime minister modi to the white house for the first time. it is critical for us to continue to deepen and broaden the existing partnership and friendship that already exists. >> i'm happy that we are meeting here just a few days after the indian and u.s. mission reached mars around the

same time. after the u.s. summit on mars, we are meeting here on earth. this happy coincidence captures the relationship. >> a five-day u.s. trip this week with a working dinner with president obama and an overnight stay at the white house. in new york, modi met with fortune 500ceos and investors with his ambitious program to modernize india's economy. india is a democracy the size of western europe with a population over 1,250,000,000. ithas figured in asia's great game since the president of george w bush. in 2001 he lifted sanctions imposed by the u.s. on india after the country secretly developed a nuclear bomb in

1998. lifting the sanctions of pursuing a strategic relationship between india and the u.s. to can culture china's growing influence. alongside a standing army of 1.3 million soldiers. india has around 100 nuclear weapons. last month they displayed technology call prowess by sending a satellite to mars. president obama wants india to play a prime role in the asian pivot. under the foreign policy he calls quote look east, link west, modi affirmed that the u.s. and india could build a genuine strategic alliance. >> i have a one word answer, yes, and with great confidence i say yes. question, how much progress was made in indian u.s. relations this week, pat buchanan. >> considerable. but lmodi was on a watch list

for having been a war criminal when it was believed that he had been indifferent to a massacre of muslims. >> how many years ago. >> it was about in 2002, i think. >> that's 12 years ago, pat. >> he's been off it now, but here's a bud relationship between the united states and india. india looks to the indian ocean where the chinese navy is. they control part of the territory they took 50 years ago. he's a democracy. we are no threat to india. he can offer us something and we can offer something. this is not a military ally, we have far more important geo strategic relationships with russia, and china. >> don't forget the britain nations. >> brazil, russia, south africa. >> what's the relationship with russia today. >> they were a cold war alive.

this is one of the problems with the indian relationship. the pakistanis are paranoid about india. it's their central concern and this meeting my guess has caused some problems. >> india is peaceful neuroclear power and an emerging economic power house, it will be. business in this country love india and are looking to open more markets. there's tension over india wanting to get around the patent protection. they want to make low cost generic drugs, which i think is a good position morally and ethically but it would cut into the bottom line of american corporations. that's an issue of tension, and climate change. i think this was a nice meeting of the minds between president obama and the prime minister, and you know, they went to the ml king memorial together. you got the feeling there was a foundation laid there for a much warmer relationship, but

in terms of climate, india's getting nothing. they basically say they won't deal with it for 30 years, the u.s. polluted the atmosphere, and we got away with it, now it's their turn, but you have to start talking. i think what this president did, our president did was lay down a basis for a good future for the next president. he's going to hand over a good relationship to hillary. >> the chemistry was noticeable. >> it was noticeably different than previous prime ministers and presidents. and with india and modi trying to do the massive reforms, there's an opportunity trying to buffer against china making big steps. the devil is in the details and we will wait to see what

happens. >> india borders china along the himalayas. and it is a nuclear power. from the u.s. vantage, a strategic alliance is far better than a nonaligned india. >> india is a power, they're going to be exploding under the leadership of this man. i suspect they're going to have an increased shall we say military capability. they will have political and economic strength that will be more tilted to our side and will be a counter balance to whatever china may want to do. it's a plus-plus, it seems to me. >> we don't want the united states committed to go to war for india if they get in a fight with china. you have a strategic partnership. you can work with them and sell weapons, but as for a nato type alliance, it would be insane. >> i don't think that's what's

involved. i think we can give them a certain kind of indirect support in a lot of levels, particularly if the chinese get to be too aggressive. >> they're a friend and a problematic camp. >> last month he visited japan, and chinese leader went to india to meet with modi. he's playing them off against each other. >> sure he is, let me say, the chinese are sitting there and occupying indian territory. it wasn't so long ago they have had skirmishes up there. these are great rivals and we don't want to be on one side or the other if they get involved in a clash. >> don't you have the feeling this a power house? >> no, i don't. >> you don't? >> china is a far more serious nation, a super star. russia is more impressive.

>> who has the hayer population. >> let him finish. >> i would say russia is more aggressive, but they're on the march. >> india is gorgeous. >> gorgeous. >> it's a beautiful country. >> it's just gorgeous from the pot of view of where it is now. >> there is absolutely nothing but gains for us as india frankly is going to become a much stronger country, both economically and military tearily. we're not -- >> will you you sum this up. >> the divided upon on what happens next in terms of india and the united states. india is a democracy. china has real issues. we're going to talk about that later. india is a real opportunity on the economic level, security

level. and a new face, a margaret thatcher of india. >> you thought it was a natural meeting of minds for these two american. >> their own ways it was. mr. modi is more of an check reform than the president. >> there's a commonality of interest. we have no real frictions between us and a lot in common. >> i'm talking about the two leaders getting together. we have seen all kinds of relationships between leaders that get together. this seems to be authentic. seems to be they like each other. >> you put too great an accent on personalities rather than national interests. >> i don't at all. >> in india, they look at modi as their president obama because when he was elected, similar to the excitement in 08 when obama was elect. >> do you notice how we underestimate the importance of personality, and the meeting of minds as a result of a connection that's made socially

between the two people. he underestimates it. >> obama doesn't anymore. >> no, no. >> obama did, but i don't think he does anymore. >> and he's meeting him on the intellectual level. we're both on mars together. >> he remembers he was on the watch list of the united states for ten years. don't worry about it. >> big deal, that's 12 years ago, pat. >> india is about to have state level elections which modi is hoping will consolidate his position. you'll see the reforms and how much is transitioning into reality. >> he has the same problem with expectations as obama had. the expects are enormously high. >> why did the director of the secret service resign, when we come back. at perdue, we know fresh chicken.

well, not that kind of fresh. but we do take extra steps in our farms, trucks that deliver daily and everywhere in between... ... to bring you a fresh tasting chicken. perdue. we believe in a better chicken.

impornews a lot lately.en in the for chicken that hasn't crossed an ocean, look for perdue. we're the first company to have the usda verify that our chickens are raised in the usa. to bring your family a fresh-tasting chicken. perdue. we believe in a better chicken. here's your two, tremendous restraint? president obama praised the secret service last week aft arrest of 42-year-old iraq war veteran, omar j gonzalez for climbing the fence at the white house and sprinting into the executive mansion. this week, the house oversight committee took a different perspective on the secret service when they grilled its

director, julie pierson about the security breach. despite the security lapses which allowed intruder gonzalez armed with a knife to reach deep inside the white house to the thresholds of the green room, the secret service nevertheless issued a press release praising its handling of the intrusion as exhibiting quote tremendous restraint and discipline. unnote. and there's more tremendous restraint. three days before gonzalez's fence jumping excubs, the secret service led an armed security guard board an elevator with president obama. the man a contract employee at the centers for disease control proceeded to take pictures in the elevator and did not obey when told to desist. the secret service did not realize the man had a loaded weapon with him in the elevator until later. collectively, these failings prompted director pierson to

resign wednesday, but questions persist as the secret service lost its edge in the three decades since the assassination attempt against president ronald reagan. the man ultimately in charge of the secret service is homeland security secretary jeffsonson. darrell. has the length of time since want reagan assassination attempt eroded the secret service's sense of risk. eleanor clift. >> i think it's possible that some come o play senussi -- complacency has set in. it's been penetrated but if you're over there, it's like an armed camp. as a reporter, you have to go through several check points. itst no the easy -- it's not easy to get into. agencies walk around the

perimeter, probably their attention wanders sometimes, and that's unacceptable. the secret service as a whole, everybody i have dealt with is very professional. there are a few people not doing their job. i think it's a question of management, and i think it's a question of resources. they don't have enough money, and julia pierson, i think she was installed in that job because it was thought that she could merely because of her gender change that sort of frat boy attitude that had infected the service, particularly on over seas trips but she apparently comes out of the same ç> how many presidents were assassinated? >> four have been assassinated. kennedy, lincoln garfield,

mckinley,. >> mckinly and president kennedy and garfield, and lincoln. but john. >> how many all together, out of how many president. >> 43 now. but here's the thing, ronald reagan was shot. the harry trueman, they attempted to assassinate him in front of blare house. teddy roosevelt took a bullet out of office. and gerald ford was fired at twice. the secret service are outstanding people, a tremendous reputation. they put their lives on the line for you. great guys. something has happened when somebody runs through the fence, runs over the white house line, pushes over the gal at the door, running around the east room and stopped by a secret service guy leaving the building. >> so something is wrong? >> something is terribly, terribly wrong. there were other incidents, 7 shots were fired at the white

house and they didn't tell him. >> they thought i was quote, a national treasure at that particular time? have you put that in your columns. why don't you sign yourself. >> a dozen stories about him, and they're the greatest guys you'll run into. >> what do the brits say about this? >> i don't know that they're covering that much. i did a summer job at wimbledon, the secret service is the highest level of difficulty. they don't know if it's a suicide bomber. the point of protection is it's immensely difficult. the elevated example. >> up the man in the elevator. >> actually, that's something you're not going to be able to avoid. there's a lot of trust placed on the hosting organization to tell them. >> if it's somebody you don't know. when i was there, they had the elevator clear, my sister could

have gotten on o -- gotten on. but if they don't know somebody they say please wait for the next elevator. >> you can't imagine this is going to happen. several incidents that have undermined the general confidence in this critical agency. what they need is different leadership and they're going to get it and they're going to have to review procedures because this really, we came this close to a major disaster in this country. >> what about gonzalez, should the secret service have used legal force against gonzalez? >> no, first of all, the first family wasn't there, and i think the agent guard goes down somewhat, and he is mentally disturbed gentleman, and i think he had been hanging around the white house to some extent. >> letting him get inside the white house was a complete failure of security that could have had significant consequences if he was wearing

a suicide bomb. >> you should have had snipers on the roof, rubber bulls, take him down with those, which wouldn't kill him. they'd knock him down. >> quick comment from you about joe clancy, you know who joe clancy is. >> the new head of the agency. >> you know joe? >> i don't know, but bill clancy was part of my details. i don't know if they're related. >> the first family has a comfort level with him because he was head of the detail, he is their personal selection, and he was there what the swalis made it into the white house dinner. >> clint hill, he wrote a book, right? >> a very moving book. >> clint eastwood did a movie where he was the secret service agent. >> what was the book called?

>> i don't know. i'm going to make one comment. >> the name is clint hill. for those interested, it's a moving book to where he could have used his own body to protect kennedy. it was after the first war but before second. >> issue three, hong kong heat, the porters call it the umbrella revolution. tens of thousands of prodemoxie protesters, mostly -- pro- democracy protesters mostly students, deploying umbrellas to protect against rain, sun, and pepper spray. they are calling for hong kong's chief executive and top politician to resign. how did hong kong get to this point,a decision by beijing, to vet all candidates who want to run in the 2017 election for

the powerful office of hong kong chief executive. they have long enjoyed a special status as compared to mainland china since the british returned the colony in 1997. china agreed to a one country, two systems policy that has allowed congress long a flourishing -- hong kongers a flourishing, currently forbidden on the mainland. after china's current president, who controlled the 2013 last year, restrictions have been tightened, including on public decent and the use of social media. this allowing hong kong residents to choose their own candidates puts beijing in a conundrum. it's unclear how long the communist party will tolerate the revolt especially because

of the spill potential into other part of the china. the legacy and memory of 1999 when china violently cracked down on an earlier generation of student protesters still lingers and a repeat would cause not only chaos and death, but also condemnation from the west. >> what is he going to do? and i think he's going to let them have a leash, until they tick off enough people. this man is not going to back down. >> i think he's going to try to wait out the protesters, just like the capitollists in new york waited out the wall street, the anti-wall street crowd. hong kong the is economic engine for china. it's their new york. if he does a severe crack down that would only, i think cause protests on the mainland. >> i think he doesn't give up but the broader issue is in china is there are big problems

in terms of separation of wealth between rural populations and rich urban areas. as china's export model becames difficult to maintain, they will have problems. >> you're going to have a clash between an educated well to do population and a successful population. he'll have to find a way to reconcile those two. >> we'll be right back with predictions.

prediction pat. >> ebola virus contained here but explodes in west africa. >> a in the november elections it's going to be 52-48 for the republicans taking the senate. >> mark,. >> the housing market is going to continue to weaken. this is going to create a wider impact on the already weak economy. >> if isis makes good on its threat to slaughter the families of american troops here in their homes in the united states, the pressure on president obama to launch an all out attack will be unbearable. it will trigger a full scale american assault on isis and its sponsors in the middle east. bye bye.
