kelly ayotte, john thune is on their list, condoleezza rice. tim pawlenty, seriously, tim pawlenty? none of these people are running. and neither are like a half dozen more people who they put on there. nikki haley is on there, allen west is on there. but the republican national committee is promoting them all as potential presidential candidates anyway. it's very strange. we have posted the screen shots of this direct mail at maddowblog.com and posted a link to the republican party's online version of it, gop.com/primaryballot. it's not really a primary ballot. but it's strange. it's surprising to me that the republican party is pushing even more candidates than the zillions of candidates who they already really have running. and speaking of those zillions, get ready for zillion and one. new jersey governor chris christie has reportedly now set a date. multiple reports today saying that chris christie will be announcing on tuesday in livingston, new jersey, that he's running for president. although, weirdly, tonight on his monthly ask the governor radio show, he denied having made

condoleezza rice moved over to become the secretary of state.nk he was necessarily as energetic in the second term. shortly into the second term secretary rumsfeld left office and was replaced by robert gates. the atmospherics were different. i think that goes to the issue of the book, "bush doctrine," which i am coming to now. when i see the words "bush doctrine and combating terrorism," i immediately think about the different justifications for the war in afghanistan and the war in iraq. i was at the u.n. when both of these wars were launched. the war in afghanistan -- in fact, i was notified by a flash telegram on a sunday. i figure was sunday, october 6 2001. "seek out the president of the security council and ask for a meeting this evening to inform the council that we are going to be launching attacks into afghanistan in the exercise of our self-defense under article 51 of the united nations charter." we dutifully did that that evening in the council. i do not think that we had any argument from anybody as to the fact that we were retaliat

i was on good terms with condoleezza rice. down tothis did not go the political level.merican administration, when barack obama became president, reassessed the state --relations with rust that relations with russia and decided it was better to have a more forthcoming approach. it was a reset of the policy with russia. then, the presidential commission was created to work each and covering every imaginable area of human activity. then, all of this was abruptly because we could not, oup did not, except the c in ukraine that was supported by the united states. i believe that we are realistic. president putin talks to president obama over the phone from time to time. they are pragmatic and discuss specific areas of cultivation were both countries could benefit. i would not call it a reset, i would call it the realization of the need for normalcy. betty: normalcy. that was the russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov. we'll have a look at what he means and what it really means for russian relations. we are joined by the diplomacy team leader in washington. john, you heard wh

i was on good terms with condoleezza rice.omehow this good chemistry did not go down to the practical political level. and the american administration when barack obama became president, they reassess the state of bilateral relations with russia. and they decided that it is much better to have more forthcoming approach. it was a reset of the american policy vis-a-vis russia. then the presidential commission was created. 21 working groups covering each and every imaginable area of human activity. and then all this was abruptly stopped because we could not and did not accept the coup which was strongly supported by the united states. the coup in ukraine. now i believe i tell you we are quite realistic. president putin talks to president obama over the phone. they are very pragmatic. they discuss specific areas of cooperation. where both countries could benefit. and we do the same with john kerry on a much more detailed level. i wouldn't call it a new reset. i would call it the realization of the new normal. ryan: if we get into

so i played it cool went from bishop to the helicopter and condoleezza rice is there and fred and a couple others. i just get on the helicopter and the president says let's go see the seals and it was his idea to visit as a surprise to training center that was nearby. so we arrived and he didn't know they were coming. it was like two hangars full and there was all of these amazing young american men listening to dick cheney gave a speech to read all of them had really long beards. the president gave remarks off the cuff, full of emotion that he has tears in his eyes and they will not stop clapping and it was in order that they didn't have to obey. since you think you take pictures with everybody and i made my day to come my way to the back of the room and they came up to me and said excuse me argue the press secretary. they know who i am that's amazing. i wanted to make small talk so i asked two questions. the first one i said what made you want to become a navy seal adventure, family tradition for the chance to see the world, what was it and the first says to me now, check they get -- chi

you don't have to go through a condoleezza rice briefing to figure that out. >> that does mean russiauld be party of nato? what's the logic. >> the foreign trips have become a rite of passage for presidential candidates to go and show and beef up their credentials. bush made clear he was going over there to do this putin bashing, which is also become a rite of pass age for republican candidates. we really didn't see that. if that was his goal, well known going in, i'm not sure if that was accomplished. the challenge for him throughout this whole trip is to stay disciplined. he's announcing his candidacy on monday. if he makes these slip ups or makes clear that he isn't as well versed in this that would be problematic. >> we saw chris christie go to europe and once you get to the question and answer spot he got in trouble too. these guys are not prepared for this. >> i mean, i think the issue whether it is chris christie or jeb bush, to a certain degree they are trying to play pentagon hugging games, show they are strong military, national security hawks without sensibility of what is

lot of top secret hearings with the secretary of defense, head of the cia, the vice president condoleezza rice and many others and what we heard it turned out not to be true at all. it was false. a great deal of false information in which america went to war in iraq but even more important than that this question of leading iraq toward a democracy what happened is the team that was sent there by the bush administration created a staggeringly incompetent government. very corrupt. first of all, the coalition authority they disbanded the army, disbanded the police force, supported maliki that turned out to have a pretty corrupt government who decided to get rid of the sunnis and so look they have, you know there's an old bumper sticker on ward through the fog. that's what it reminds me of when i hear secretary rumsfeld talking about what happened back then. >> you mentioned your oversight committee hearings. we were looking back to this today you talk about that the corruption side, the failure the vacuum it created in addition to syria, which is a separate issue, which is part of what created th

what makes the story particularly interesting is the fact that condoleezza rice also spoke to the same,000, and she gave the money back to the charity. hillary clinton, as you say, didn't give the money back to the charity. it was $200,000. and she had it contributed to her family foundation some could argue, well, she wanted the money to go to her charity, not their charity. it's curious they're offering tens and thousands of dollars to anyone to speak, but secondly that somebody would take the money and run, if you will. >> who else is on the show today? you have former governor perry. >> first of all, we're talking about the horrific massacre in charleston. we'll have a live report from the area. we'll have a very interestinging panel, including donna edwards of maryland and karl rove. other people to talk about, you know first of all, we see these crimes. this is a particularly brutal one. but we see them too often, these mass shootings. what if anything can be done about it. the president talks about gun control. others talk about faith and family. we'll then get into something th
