for the left, and i'm finishing here -- for the left wing or center left coalition led by barak, they will need three -- i wanted him to come back to politics, but they didn't allow it. anyway, for a center left coalition, they would need probably both, detefectors from the right wing block and some show of support for the party that i mentioned before which is based on what used to be the israeli communist party, that's people who in 48 distributed leaflets all over the left bank supposing an establishment of a jewish state, called to the petition. but they're very critical about the way that israel goes now. so out of these three scenarios, i think the best that israel should hope for is that they should find a way to work a ground coalition. it was bibi's preference before the indictment, i told you about going to the foreign ministry, et cetera. only the results, the numbers, will tell us whether it's feasible. and one last point that i have to make is that although i'm worried of the reaction of david pollock, i would be very, very careful reading the polls in israel. i'm coming

for the present brock obama told the barak to go you have europe who have yet to say to c.c. you've gone too far and if you have a scenario as you say that is now sort of reminiscent of the barak era if everything is cyclical in history then you will have another uprising of the future potentially if there is a credible voice or a credible opposition. certainly egypt is a time bomb now. we have control of the military control of the intelligence has got a huge a spy network but i'm sure the west as obama has done can ask him emphatically and the clearly to quality today and leave power because he won't stand almost a generation to rule egypt which is ridiculous someone who hardly been known five years ago to want twenty or the country for thirty or forty years to come i think. it's a very very serious situation in egypt egypt is poor or egypt is breaking down as a country and it could be a failed state in very short period of time this is sixty thousand people imprisoned sawzall screen disappeared or killed and the spider says they get ninety seven percent and lost their frie

access to the complete version four page summary prepared by a trump supporter tony general william barak and clothes members of trump's campaign did not conspire with russia kimberly joins us now from washington d.c. so there's a look like democrats are going to get their way on this one. and well they have the majority on this judiciary committee so it does appear that we know how this vote is going to go as you point out what this committee is trying to do and the democrats controlling it are trying to subpoena simply to get a complete look at robert muller special counsel his report on whether or not the president obstructed justice because as you point out well it does in this conclusion state that there was no collusion the president has not been exonerated in fact the report appears to not weigh in at all on the conclusion of whether or not the president obstructed justice and that is why the democrats want to see this complete and unredacted report so that is what they are voting on to subpoena it because it became very clear that the department of justice was not going to comply

joining us right now is the former prime minister of israel, ehud barak.tion to what has taken place so far. you did not vote for benjamin nenetanyahu, correct? >> yeah, of course not. it's a personal victory for netanyahu. it's a great achievement for gantz, for the center left camp which created within three months a party which equals netanyahu's in size. but it will throw israel into an acute fight about the nature of our democracy because netanyahu's focus right now is basically on saving himself from being brought to trial on three cases of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust and three new possible investigations on another corruption case. so basically he will first focus on making sure that even if he's indicted, he won't reach a court and could continue to serve. that's against israeli law, it's not against american laws but it's against israeli law. it will be a tight battle up to the supreme court. maria: how important has his leadership been in terms of his interaction with the united states? >> you know, he for sure is very friendly with presi

dick lugar was also a cosigner of a letter which i sent to then-president barak obama. when we couldn't pass the dream act, senator lugar joined me in sending a letter to the president asking if there was anything he could do by executive order that might give these young people a chance, just a chance to prove themselves and become part of america area future. dick lugar and i were the two cosigners of that letter that went to the president. it was that letter and the thought behind it which led to the creation of daca, a program that 790,000 of these young people signed up for. they paid a filing fee, went through criminal background checks and checked all the boxes and were given under the daca program two years to go to school in the united states or work in the without united states -- in the united states without fear of deportation. it was dick lugar who joined me in that. i will never forget it and neither should anyone else. our friend, dick lugar, is gone, but he left a legacy of decency, civility, service and statemanship that we would all do well to emanate.
