. >> dana: those were the toughest questions he has had an who served bush, obama, he wrote his book mine, joe biden has been wrong on every foreign policy issue since '70s. i will not debate whether to leave afghanistan. the decision is made but you can leave in a way that his dignity and not sloppy. the other thing that is bothering me is the issue of the afghan interpreters, who sacrificed works for us and you have people like congressman michael waltz and dan crenshaw who both served and will say there interpreters save their lives. they are supposed to be able to come here and because the taliban wanted to kill them. and so there is a whole bunch over there but this case is bothering me this week is there is a man name... he lives in iowa since 2014 he came for a conference and found out the taliban would try to kill him. he filed for political asylum, living in iowa, he has a business, employees, he goes in for his interview. and finally to get his approval tuesday. they said "the department of homeland security, have you ever had interaction with taliban?" i can't tell a lie w

it was visited by presidents bush, obama and trump, and now it has been handed over to the afghans.inal troops and eric whitman airlifted out, -- and air equipment lifted out, the u.s. on track for a full withdrawal. >> we are on track but i wanted to make sure there was enough running room that we could not do it all until september. there will still be some forces left, but is a rational drawdown with allies. there is nothing unusual about it. reporter: u.s. plans to leave 650 troops in afghanistan to protect the embassy and diplomatic missions, with capacity to help afghan security forces if recorded -- if required. the bottom line, the u.s. is not abandoning afghanistan. >> we have a robust footprint in the region. even outside afghanistan, and we still have the capability to conduct over the horizon missions as necessary for counterterrorism. reporter: in afghanistan itself, thousands are hoping to leave the country ahead of the final u.s. withdrawal. the lines for exit visas and passports all, people worried a resurgent taliban could sweep into power. it is making military gai

i know president obama used it lot. president bush used it maybe four or five times a year. but he would practice. he would practice those things. and he would sometimes edit it while reading the speech from a teleprompter and stay with us while he did it. but in the ordinary course of things, i know there was some but i just don't know -- i never really asked him how much time he spent with it. sarada: my understanding, you might know better than i do, the speeches that the president -- president obama sort of her hearst were -- sort of rehearsed were white house correspondent dinner, the convention speeches, but the ones he was doing regularly, i think as a president you just get so used to delivering these speeches. and because he had prepared the speech and spent time with it, there was a subset of the population that would mock president obama's use of a teleprompter, but it really is a better way to deliver a speech. you're looking out at the audience. you have written it down. you are prepared. you thought about what you're going to say. he got accustomed to doing tha

me in the way that you describe the way that she engaged with three different presidents, george bush, obama and then trump and the way she employee the different types of power with each of them so talk to me please about nancy pelosi and power. >> i kept changing the title of the book. it had the different titles and finally ended up with the lessons of power. every title i had had the word power because one of the distinguishing things about nancy pelosi is how comfortable she is with power. she has no qualms about power. it is just a trait that is rare among the politicians and even more among women who get into politics so at ease with amassing power and a long time friend of ours, congressional correspondent about a decade ago he wrote a profile and described her as an iron fist and i think that is just about the perfect description of nancy pelosi's use of power because she does have a -- she can be very persuasive [inaudible] she has an iron fist and i thought this actually myself in the ninth interview i did with her i did ten in all and in the ninth interview i was asking her about

[ laughter ] biden and merkel actually have some things in common -- they're both respected world leaders who also look like vice principals fighting over a a parking space.

so there is nothing of hillary clinton's, laura bush's, or michelle obama's. next question. >> this was very good. thank you very much. i wondered, because jackie onassis was famous for her pillbox hat, and then pat nixon came along and there were no more hats worn either by -- at least in the display here by pat nixon or betty ford. is that the time perld of no more hats? >> you are very observant, and very spot on correct. because pat nixon -- lady bird johnson wore a hat, famously to her husband's 1965 inauguration, swearing in ceremony when she was the first, actually to hold the bible. pat nixon decided against it. she did not want to wear a hat. and that set a precedent. i'm glad you mentioned it. there is only so much you can mansion. but there are a lot of little things that mrs. nixon did in terms of her choices of what she wore that indicated this, really, frankly, independent streak that she was going to do thing her way. and, actually, the hats started back again with hillary clinton. but it was as a sun protector. so it's sort of funny. hillary --

of them they represent eight years in the white house, and so from bill clinton to george bush to barack obama, we have had the unusual historic occurrence of three consecutive presidencies of eight years, the last time that happened was jefferson, madison and monroe. so it is easy to forget, of course, the nixon and ford years like the johnson and kennedy years that were truncated. but had pat nixon and bettie ford served in the white house at timef enormous change and they were agents of a gentle change towards the future. thank you very much.

assistant dean at syracuse university maxwell school and also served at the pentagon during both bush and obama administrations. he says it's not yet clear how rumsfeld viewed his own actions and legacy. i think the, the challenges that the, the donald rumsfeld we see and have seen as the donald rumsfeld, he wanted us to see, he created that narrative and until we can dig more deeply into his records and have those camden conversations, we won't know whether he was remorseful, let's say in the way that a robert mcnamara was, even if an successfully over the vietnam war where the rom, so went more deeply. i could even be that room so was not as contract as, as someone like mcnamara and had no regrets. and i think to some degree that that's the rumsfeld we've actually seen for the most part. but again, i think this story has yet to be told. i think this is a complicated man. and again, now i'm not sure in the end how contrite how he was, but there is no doubt that is supported the veterans. once he left the office of the secretary of defense was purposeful, was strong, and in reflected his own pa

craziness, that is a task different but similar to the one obama had on his first trip when he went abroad for the first time after sort of the debacle of bush in iraq. what do you think, to us, correct me if i'm wrong, with obama there was a sigh of relief, the bush thing happened, iraq was terrible, now we are back in a world where we are respected and america is popular again. how easy will it be for biden or difficult for biden to put humpty back together after four years of trump? >> i don't think it ever gets put back together again. trump got elected, we elected trump. that was a product of our democracy. something tangible about our credibility is gone. he will be welcome and he will not shove the prime minister of montenegro and he will be paid himself and will share issues of concern but here is the problem. in the back of the heads, the deputy national security adviser, i didn't ask this question because i didn't want to spray one on the guy but the joe manchin thing is going to shatter that trip. the europeans washed this very closely and like what we did with obama for instance is negotiated agreements over many years and a luna

like president bush, president obama is pretty funny naturally. and so he saw that delivery, saw that timing you could trust them to deliver but the pressure to really pull off these speeches which is so great. >> we set about compartmentalizing in the present was really good at that, this is something you may have heard read there's a correspondent center i think a few years into his presidency when there's a joke and it really do not know this republican politician whose middle name is osama. and he went into final edits for this correspondence and is a do know what? i think i'm going to cut this part out. we are going to make it so some other name. generally the republican was? the okay that works. turns out that was the day they had the mission to kill bin laden and he just come from a meeting in the situation room. later the night there action going to do it. he did not let on he said let's just not do this is in the joke speech. >> that famous photo is the day after the correspondents dinner pre-but the speechwriter did not know that. in his

bush was in his second term in office and had bipartisan support in congress and yet a coalition never seemed, to well, coalesce and then the obama administration tried to revive the issue but his tough actions at the border failed to mobilize activist and bush and obama saw their efforts shot down by the good old filibuster. for two decades political leaders in d.c. have been stepping on rakes when they wanted to provide a permanent pathway to citizenship for undocumented children raised in the united states to adulthood. despite it being hugely popular even with republican voters. with joe biden and chuck schumer can pull this off it will be huge, huge, and if this plan doesn't work, and the filibuster once again stands in the way, is that it? do the democrats especially senate democrats really plan to go into the 2022 mid terms next year saying to the american people we wanted to give you immigration reform and we wanted to give you a $15 minimum wage but the parliamentarian wouldn't let us. we wanted to protect your voting rights and we wanted to protect our climate, but the filibuster wouldn't let us. really? is that the pla

bush, barack obama, donald trump, all of them at some point during their presidencies almost went toar with iran. it's been one of the biggest foreign policy challenges facing every recent u.s. president, and as we know there was no love lost between trump in particular and the iranians. the former president applying what he called maximum pressure as he tore up barack obama's nuclear deal with tehran in 2018. so where is joe biden on iran six months into his presidency? the president had promised to rejoin the deal, but talks in vienna aren't exactly going at lightning speed. in the last week iran's supreme court national security council rejected a draft agreement negotiated indirectly with the u.s., and as a result the iranian economy remains under immense pressure due to u.s. sanctions. protests breaking out this week as ordinary iranians suffer from extreme heat and power outages and water shortages and, of course, the pandemic. so is there any hope for a new deal between iran and the united states? joining me now is robert malley, the u.s. special enjoy to iran. rob, thanks so
