what is your colleagues was brian hooks, who has called the white house particularly divisive.'s put aside the white house. the you see any political leaders trying to bring us together in a positive way? guest: i do see that on various issues. david: so who would you name? given example. guest: hakeem jeffries is working across party lines. senator grassley is working across party lines on criminal justice reform. we see great opportunity there, and we want to see more. in fact, right to trial legislation, which is the right for terminally ill patients to try experimental drugs and patients, was sitting both in the house and senate. there were two forms of legislation in front of them. it was going nowhere coming despite the fact that president trump talked about right to try legislation in the state of the union. our network said we've got to do something here. we stepped up. we ran ads on this. we mobilized grassroots. we talked to members of congress. lo and behold, something moved. the house moved. the senate moved. --ays unanimous support almost unanimous support for the

>> brian hooks, charles koch deputies said that the trump administration is engaging in things that are divisive and damaging for the long term and that really hit a nerve with donald trump maybe because it's true and charles koch came up, there's been a lot of divisiveness before donald trump but that's what dan is referring to with respect to the base, that's what the real risk is here. all the kochs are saying on immigration, trade and fiscal deficit we want to stick with core values, free market, welcoming immigrants, legally, and basically controlling federal spending and some of these people who donald trump is defending and want the kochs to go along with are very much on the other side of the arguments. i think that's an important place to draw the line. paul: important place because in particular, bill, i agree with mary on this because the kochs unlike a politician, right, politicians have a hard time disagreeing with donald trump because they can pay a price at the polls or republicans, the kochs have freedom just as you do as columnist. >> first amendment, right. paul: they

brian hook is a stop official here at the state department. is he going to lead this effort. he says the ultimate goal of iran is to get it to change its behavior. >> when you look at the kind of money that iran provides to assad and to she shia milit. >> hook is already leading the effort to convince those countries to cut off iran. the problem for the administration is that in particular, the european countries have told their companies to continue doing business with iran, to defy these new reimposed u.s. sanctions. the europeans are trying to hold the iran nuclear agreement together. they want the ability to be able to tell their companies they can conduct business as was allowed under the iran nuclear deal and they are trying to move this forward without the u.s. so there is an amount of friction and a significant amount upon u.s. and europe on, this shep. >> there is escalating fight now with turkey. >> there is. the treasury secretary and the president of the united states have just said you don't release pastor brun son who has been jailed in turkey for the past coupl

coordinate its efforts to try to respond to iran, tried to pressure iran, leading the group will be brian hookor of policy planning here. and he is the one who is negotiating with the european allies to try to keep the united states in the iran nuclear deal. that effort failed, and then he took over this new effort to try to convince countries and companies against doing business with iran. they have called at the road-show. and officials say that they have met with about 20 different countries to try to convince them to cut off their business ties. the u.s. started re-imposing sanctions against them earlier this month on august 6. that effort will increase in november with banking sector sanctions, but there is a major problem with the u.s. policy, that european allies are telling their businesses not to listen to these american sanctions. telling their country to continue doing business, and trying to hold the iran nuclear deal together paid a lot of challenges here in this new u.s. effort to essentially take those sanctions that were lifted as part of the iran nuclear deal and apply them ag

the regime's behavior both inside and outside of its borders well the group is going to be led by brian hook who has been the director of the u.s. state department for policy planning the iran action group will play a critical role in leading our efforts within the department and executing the president's iran strategy across the interagency the administration will also build continue to build the broadest level of international support for our strategy. rosen jordan joins me now from the united nations and roslyn is a pale what the puppets of this new group is going to be. mari i'm it's not very clear what the purpose of this group is because even though donald trump campaigned on ending the u.s. as participation in the iran nuclear deal and in terms of that deal trying to negotiate directly with our on on something which he said would be a much better deal one that would guarantee the safety of the united states and its allies so far the trumpet ministration has not put forward any serious effort serious by way of terms of action to try to negotiate a new deal with iran and certainly a lot

be believed this does not mean that the trumpet ministration is interested in regime change and brian hook was very careful in saying that he is very interested in seeing the current iranian government change its behavior that's a quote however there are going to be many questions one about who will be joining this or hold on the iran action group what kind of a whole of government what kind of economic policy defense strategies are going to be employed in order to compel the government in town hall to stop what the u.s. considers its to farias and the stabilizing activity not just being a state sponsor of terror under u.s. law but also supporting those groups and persons who may be violating human rights on notice that mr hope made a point of mentioning bashar al assad the president of syria whose country has been engulfed in a civil war for more than seven years and during which the assad government has been criticized for indiscriminately targeting civilians in its efforts to try to win that civil war of course there are also going to be questions about whether or not the u.s. is going
