to call the shots mr kerry of course having served so long as the head of the foreign. relations committee is going to marshal his resources in congress to hopefully to the benefit of the obama administration you're going to also see a very sort of middle of the road. new york we're going to talk about russia u.s. relations interesting enough kerry has criticized u.s. policy towards russia saying that the current state of relations between the two pole do you think you'll be able to soothe existing tensions. well let's think about that you know mr obama is in place for another four years and the secretary of state works at the pleasure of the president and at the direction of the president mr putin certainly is in place for the next four years so you know unless there's some meeting of the minds at the head of state level i really don't know what impact if secretary of state is going to mr lavrov i don't know that he's going to be going anywhere in the next four years it seems to me that the only place to go with bilateral relations with between the u.s. and russia righ

three most prominent figures apart from the president in the countries foreign policy debates -- mr. kerryn the state department, mr. hagel at the pentagon, and mr. mccain, will all derive a substantial part of their legitimacy from vietnam experiences. mr. mccain's relationship with mr. kerr it isy the striking tale of the lingering influence of the vietnam. more than a decade later, mccain traveled to massachusetts to campaign against mr. kerry. yet the pair worked so closely in the cause of reviving relations with vietnam that they became friends. when mr. kerry appeared at a senate confirmation hearing last week, he was introduced by mr. mccain, who praised his ' exemplary statesmanship.' mr. mccain's relationship with mr. hagel what has gone the opposite way. 'i admire him and consider is friendship to be a treasure of inestimable value to me,' mr. mccain said in 2001. by the time mr. mccain became the presidential candidate and to designate, the relationship had cooled. mr. hagel refused to endorse 'm, telling 'the new yorker' we so fundamentally disagree on our future course of our

and the middle east has been praised as a triumph by barack obama and hillary clinton do you think mr kerry will follow the triangle will he come up with his own you know lieut. well like i said it's going to be within this framework as well and you know there's all kinds of illusions that go on in the united states of america to create the appearance of some real democracy or a representative government or the fact that there can be these major shift in policy towards other countries in the world and one of these allusions is this back and forth between the democratic party and the republican party and many liberals in the united states who now may be arguing that john kerry could bring a more anti-war perspective to the administration many liberals argue that democrats in the second term will take a more progressive line because they say oh the first term they just had to play the game and not do they really wanted to do with the second term that's when they can really take positions that are in the interest of the people and the interest of people who want peace and and things like that

mr. brennan's 25-year history at the c.i.a., including as the station chief in riyadh. >> rose: john kerry. does he have significantly different views than the president or mr. brennan or mr. hagel or mr. donelan? >> you know, it seems to me that john kerry has been much more in the mainstream and sort of closer to where the administration has been. i think he has gone out as a troubleshooter for the administration on several occasions. >> rose: syria, for example. >> pakistan, syria, other places. and i suspect that president obama is not going to see in senator john kerry as much of an independent operator as we saw with, say, secretary clinton who pressed very hard with bob gates for a much more muscular expansion of the surge in afghanistan. she pressed very hard for the libya intervention. and i'm -- it's not clear to me yet that secretary kerry, if he is confirmed, would necessarily press as hard as she did on those issues. he may well surprise us on that. >> rose: she has high public marks for what she did as secretary of state. among the foreign policy people, what do they look at

john kerry, jim webb, dan ino way died, jim webb left voluntarily, john kerry will leave. they mr. only four members of the united states senate, john mccain being the fouferment i mean so what you have in kerry and hagel are two men who have seen war up front and up close, and who have become far more reluctant to deploy americans. they don't talk in the ancient language of swagger how we are going to go in and kick some tail, or anything of the sort like so many of the noncombatants do. so i think that hagel, i think brennan will bring up a discussion. we'll find out how lib ralts, in fact, they really do care about the use of drones in this administration. the seems to have given a pass to president obama, used drones more than president bush ever did and i think the republicans will use it to discuss benghazi but i think will confirmed as well. >> woodruff: both of them. you were talking about a group of loners. what are these choices and what we know so far about the president's white house staff and cabinet say about the president, david. >> it's not exactly great copy for us.

as a temporary successor to massachusetts senator john kerry who is currently nominee for secretary of state. according to the associated press, mr. frank told msnbc he asked governor duval patrick to appoint him as the state's interim senator until a special election is held to permanently fill senator kerry's seat. mr. frank is 72 years old and served 16 terms in the u.s. house. when he retired he was chairman of house financial services committee. >> the big discussion that i remember was, what is richard nixon going to do. >> i remember going home that night scared to death. this is like a time bomb. this thing gets out and gets in the press and anderson gets it's going it is a disaster for all of us. >> john came to me, john dean the president's council brought me a list of i think 50 names of people. wants a full field investigation of them. that is a very unpleasant thing have happen to you. >> shortly after the farewell speech, al hague, chief of staff called me. i can't exactly what he said. david, we forgot one thing. he said, what's that? we forgot a resignation letter. i said that is very interesting to, i think will

mr. president, i believe the business before the senate is the confirmation of john kerry as secretary of state which i would like to speak to. mr. president, i actually rise today in support of two senators, one former and one current, as america's secretary of state. last week, both were guests of the foreign relations committee which i served on and both did an outstanding job. secretary of state, former senator from new york, hillary clinton, has served the united states' interest with distinction. she championed a diversity of causes that strengthened our security and at the same time improved the lives of so many around the world, particularly women and children. secretary clinton leaves an incredible legacy in her diplomatic efforts, and there is no one more suited or more qualified to take up the challenges and promise that my friend and colleague and our mutual friend, senator john kerry of massachusetts. john kerry came to the senate almost 30 years ago. from his first days as a freshman, he served with distinction on the senate foreign relations committee. as a navy patrol boat

kerry as our next secretary of state. only three republican senators voted no. >> mr. cruz, no. mr. cornyn, no. mr. fe, no. >> john cornyn and ted cruz opposed john kerry's confirmation, and of course oklahoma senator james inhofe voted now. we should point out that senator inhofe is terrible at flying airplanes but great at denying the science of global warming there is no reason they should have voted against john kerry's confirmation. he is without a doubt the most qualified person to be our next secretary of state. john kerry has served on the senate foreign relations committee for, let's see, 28 years? in the last four as chairman, as has served four years of the united states navy including active duty in the vietnam war. he has run for president, kind of knows what is happening. and he also already has travelled the globe on behalf of the obama administration, helping mend strained relations with afghanistan and pakistan. during kerry's nomination, president obama called him the perfect person for the job. >> i think it's fair to say that few individuals know as many presidents and prime mini

mr. john kerry for secretary of state. and mr.'s yours. >> that one actually costs something, harry. >> so what we just witnessed, i think, harry reid was going to help himself to one of the ceremonial pens and the president did him one better by taking one of the, quote, nice ones out of his pocket and handing it to the senator fr nevada. just to review, the president was joking about these nominations all going through in front of the republican leadership, which will have a big say in that. brennan to cia. hagel to the pentagon, kerry to the state department and is lew as chief of staff. andrea mitchell, back outside. >> as people are leaving here, those nominations are pretty much expected to go through. of course, chuck hagel has been the most controversial. but this is really a cabinet and our friends doris kearns goodwin, of course, really has written so eloquently about the team of rivals approach of the first obama cabinet and the parallels, of course, to abraham lincoln. we think so much about lincoln today. we think abo

mr. lew is a government lifer. and john kerrylary clinton who was also recorded as rather hawkish as a senator. now hilda solis is resigning. not sure what that means, but as the president's moving further to the left in his second term. not a centrist. let's bring back karen finney, columnist for the hill. guy benson, and mark simone. guy, i think these appointments, all three of them, particularly, particularly hagel at defense, show a move to the left. what's your take? >> sure, i mean, of course they do, the president's a lefty, that's who he is. and now that he never has to face voters again, i think we'll see his administration drift even further to the left. i do see the lew appointment at least as an opportunity for republicans to highlight the fact that we have not had a federal budget in almost four years. and it is 100% the fault of democrats. a lot of americans don't know that. at least give guys like that a chance to really beat that drum. and one other thing, larry, i'm interested to see the labor department pick wi

mr. chairman. welcome senator kerry. i'm sorry that our careers in the senate will only overlap for a few weeks but i want to thank you because for those of us in our corner of the country who have come into public service, it has been your example that has inspired us to do so, your ability to both position yourself as a spokesman for the disenfranchised and steward for our country's interest around the world. a lot of us came into public service because of your work for our region. i thank you for that. i wanted to spend my short time turning to the asia-pacific region. and specifically spending a little bit of time on china as well. secretary clinton in a speech she gave in singapore some time back, crafted a great and simple phrase about how today for the first time in modern history you can become a global superpower simply through the power of your economy, not by the power of your military. china is the best example but it has now turned its focus to military might. in connecticut, we have 40% of our exports sent
