mr. rubin, you talk about this false choice that i think in your opening statement that mr. rhodes set up and used this echo chamber of folks who literally know nothing to further this message to the american people, this binary choice either it's the deal or it's war. that's what he set up, right? and the thing that strikes me, mr. chairman, i won't take my full time here, i just wanted to make this point is, so this isn't the first time this administration on some big policy decision has deceived the american people. but maybe more importantly, it's not my judgment the first time mr. rhodes on a big policy issue, on a big concern to the american people, has tried to deceive them. mr. rubin, you're getting ready to say something, go ahead. >> the deception comes oftentimes in the way of cherry picking. if we want to look at previous iranians offers or acknowledgements of letters, for example, what's actually interesting when supreme leader khomeini on the 30th anniversary of the seizure of the

mr. rubin. thank you for the opportunity to testify. the major iran related issue [indiscernible] embraced the voluntary compliance with the additional protocol when previously ronnie had bragged that voluntary compliance allowed iran to reverse course. have iranians transferred work to labs in north korea? we will never know. another where it misled was rouhani as a moderate. withuffed his cabinet veterans of the intelligence kgbstry constructing a cabinet. in 2005 he laid out a doctrine of surprise. love the americans into complacency and deliver a knockout blow. it also misled about who benefits. the real tragedy is it pumps money into the coffers of the revolutionary guard. between 1998 and 2005 the european union almost tripled its trade with iran and the price of oil quintupled. a spokesman bragged about how he had defeated the west and we had an overt policy which was one of negotiation and can't does confidence building and a covert policy which was continuation of the activity. the pro

mr. rubin, mr. doran, mr. hannah, thank you for your testimony and for providing valuable information to this committee, which sheds lights on the deceptive manner in which the obama administration sold out the american people and our allies across the globe with the iran capitulation agreement. even when presented with the facts, like the facts each of you have laid in your testimony, the administration balks, doubles down and tries to discredit anyone who disagrees with their false narrative, including me. when asked about ben rhodes revelatory interview with the new york times magazine, press secretary josh earnest dodged and decided to lambast several members of congress, including me as liars, truly eliciting alinsky's principles to their core. why? because i said that under this illegal iran deal and lifting sanctions that iran would be able to assess up to $100 billion that was previously frozen? his treasury secretary, jack lew stated yet the sanction really could be worth about $100 billion. the presi

mr. rubin just discussed. before that is hiding the regional cost. the president has, in effect, recognized syria as an iranian spear of influence. one of the goals of the deception of mr. rhodes is to prevent people from connecting the dots between the syria policy and the iranian nuclear policy. the fifth part of the deception is blaming allies. the white house on background is on public -- in public very willing to criticize our sunni allies as creating secretary and extremism. it is willing to criticize and very derogatory terms prime minister yahoo! of israel. minister-- prime netanyahu of israel. now what we need to do about this. two points. number one, i agree with you chairman that we do not actually know what is in the iran deal. we still did is they do not know. i completely agree with your assessment about the activities of secretary of state kerry in europe last week. drumming up business with the iranians and they are saying this is part of the deal. is it part of the deal or is i

mr. rubin, how and how early did the administration start talking about minimizing congressional oversight of the iran deal? >> i am not privy to the internal discussions within the administration. but it appears from second hand sources almost from the beginning. >> i have passed the iran terror financier act, the only real effort to oppose the nuclear deal, which now sits in the senate, and with mr. rhodes' exposure the need for congressional oversight there are key provisions in my measure and it sits in the senate. that language even today could be acted upon by the senate that would provide us key oversight on on any decisions. the president acted unconstitutionally while he is free to make agreements and have negotiation, he is not free to bind us with treaty-like obligation. do you think that if we passed the key provisions out of the measure that currently sits in senate that would increase that oversight as was noted last week by politico, do ul think it would make what we do have bett

mr. rubin: good morning. i'm bob rubin and my sole assignment is to welcome all of you to the discussion of food security. having said that, let me make two comments. number one, the hamilton project began about 10 years ago, and our purposes from the beginning were support policy development around the country, and to promote seriousness of purpose in policy tie log. i think those purposes, policy development and most particularly seriousness of urpose in policy dialogue, have become ever more important as what goes for policy dialogue in our country, has descended ever more into ideology, politics, and artisanship. our commitment is to try to do our little part in keeping alive that seriousness of purpose. secondly, from the begin, our bedrock objectives with respect to policy have been growth, broad based participation in the benefits of growth, economic security, and it is our view that they are interdependent and they can reinforce each other. in that context, food insecurity in this, the richest country

as mr. rubin said, you want to use a financial system because the swiss central bank is not going to give them hundreds of millions of dollars without knowing who the beneficiary of that transaction is. and so it is good to keep things in the financial system to provide transparency and checks and balances against money laundering and terrorism, precisely why they don't want that in the financial system, they want it in cash that they can ship to hezbollah. r, accordingsi to the wall street journal and elsewhere, the negotiations to release the hostages: aided around christmastime in 2015. with this idea of a swap between the hostages that iran held in many iranian american prisoners who had been found guilty of trying to smuggle privity components and nuclear parts. at that point in time, the iranians demanded an additional $400 million and you put it simply very utilizing it as leverage, the overwhelming desire of the administration to come back with an agreement. i mean, simply put we don't wan

mr. rubin's people last week said they were never contacted by the department of justice. >> you and i talkedbout this along with michelle and melissa for a couple of years now. why this renewed push now? is it because you learned something new in the unveiling of some of the documents or simply because the statute of limitations upon prosecution is about ready to expire on many of these cases? >> so, first of all, one reason it is back in the news is you can tell by the 2016 presidential campaign the american people still want to know what happened here and why it happened. secondly, our documents are now out in the public, so people can see what this bipartisan commission did. but, yes, in the matter that i referred to earlier, two dozen major financial institutions engaged in clear misconduct, where they represented to investors that mortgage pulls contain no defects when one in three loans were a failure, the statute of limitations on that is running. we gave the department of justice information that showed misconduct, in 2006 and 2007. january 2006 to june 2007 and the ten-year statute

one last question to you, mr. rubin, former mayor of shiloh in israel. r mr. trump. the democrats are railing against him. what have you got to say about steve bannon? >> i see absolutely nothing in steve bannon's record that says that he's anti-semitic. i heard from the adl, the anti-defamation league, that they called him anti-semitic. the adl is just a band be of knee-jerk liberals that tries to get its funding by claiming that everyone is anti-semetic. it's absolute nonsense, and i think there's nothing to be concerned about. stuart: with a smile on the face, the man says just a band of knee-jerk liberals.

mr. rubin now co-chairs the council on foreign relations. is remarks ran 20 minutes. >> thanks for doing this, bob. good morning, everybody. bob, as i'm sure, nearly all of you know, many years at goldman sachs, ultimately as co-chairman. treasury secretary and has been vice chairman of citigroup and co-chairman of the council on foreign relations. as a native of new york city like me. so, we're here to talk about the economy and talk about politics. and it's funny. when--i have been having these conversations over the last few years i feel like they are always so dark when we talk about the economy. and now i feel like there are little bits of signs of lightness. i guess i want to ask you whether we should begin to become -- start to get more optimistic. the census report on income last year showed healthy gains up and down the spectrum. we don't know about this year, but wages still seem to be outpacing inflation. it's really hard to see economic turning points, right. and people were depressed in the early 1990's and we went into this gre

james rubin was an assistant secretary of state and close confidant of hillary clinton. >> if mrs. clinton is elected president and there is still republican leadership in the congress, i think they will find a way to work together because, let's face it, republican leaders are as frustrated by the fact that donald trump became their candidate as many democrats are. i think in the aftermath of donald trump's candidacy, many republican leaders will understand that we have to find a new way of doing business in america. jon: the thing you find it when you are traveling around this great country is when you come across someone who is not going to vote for hillary clinton, it is not just that they don't like her. they absolutely loathe her. that is why the owners of that bus are doing so very well at the moment. but would donald trump find it any easier? he has been at war with large sections of the republican party, particularly with his opposition to trade deals and even immigration reform. it is hard to believe that whoever wins on tuesday after this divisive, bitter campaign will b

mr. ith and political reporter juan manls ben this tiz and democratic strategist, miss pierre and jennifer rubin. i have to start wu one of the biggest moments of the campaign was the in ffamous "access hollywood" tape. we don't have to play it because we bleeped it out but he bragged about sexual assault. in the 2016 election white women voters went for donald trump 52% to 42% for hillary clinton. after all the things we saw happen with dond trump, including that "access hollywood" tape, why do you think? how do you think the majority of white women went for donald trump? >> as a white woman, i'm puzzled, too. there was a difference, based on education, that cut across gender. college educated versus non-college educated. hillary clinton did much bet we are the college educated. i think that we in the elite media and i do include myself, tended to overlook this overriding sense of identity that overrode gender, that overrode race to a certain extent. remember, donald trump did better with hispanics than mitt romney did. this was this populist anger. some of it race-based, i do agree. some of it

rubin that is have shown to add that to the conversation. thank you, mr. chairman. i concur with mr. nimmich and mr. nelson. i believe over time there has been a better understanding, better utilization after those types of disasters. we are recognizing all of the ways we can use those data in local dollars to help the community recover. there's an additional additional cost on administrative oversight of programs on the program requirement to affect recovery and subsequent mitigation. those programs can stretch into the decade for some of our larger disasters into the administrative cost also had to does high cost. >> administrator at nimmich, we see new disaster programs emerge ad hoc in reaction to disasters. they have different roles than requirement and do not seem well coordinated or focused on obtaining the best outcomes. though fema programs contain strict requirements on eligibility, use and cost effectiveness? are you aware of other disaster programs including such requirements? is this something congress can take a look at the weekend can teenagers remind

. >> and jennifer rubin, is the time and place to start to litigate this a confirmation hearing for mr. tillerson, or do you think there should be separate hearings specifically on russian involvement in the election? >> i think all of the bomb i think, unfortunately, listen, john mccain is an american hero, but i'm not hearing very much. i'm hearing nothing actually from senator mitch mcconnell who is the senate majority leader who is accused in the "post" reporting of refusing to go public on a bipartisan basis with evidence that the cia had that he was intervening directly on behalf of donald trump. i'm not hearing from tom cotton or marco rubio. where are these anti-russia hawks? so i think we have to take every opportunity whether it's an independent commission and, yes, at the confirmation hearings, and i think in that same interview john mccain indicated that if tillerson didn't satisfy his concerns about his ties with russia that he would not vote for him, and i think every republican, every democrat should take that position. but one thing the man is not qualified to be secret
