aaron david miller, david gergen, thanks, guys. >> thank you. >> pleasure. >>> let's get over to michaela now. >> good morning, everyone. voters in washington, missouri, michigan and kansas are headed to the polls today for primary day. in kansas, president obama's distant cousin milton wolf is trying to upset long time incumbent senator pat roberts. meanwhile in mississippi, chris mcdaniel challenged the results of his gop runoff loss to thad cochran. mcdaniel claims thousands of ineligible voters cast ballots. he wants state party officials to declare him the winner. >>> big day tomorrow for army sergeant bowe bergdahl. he'll be questioned about his experience in afghanistan. many of bergdahl's fellow soldiers claimed he deserted his post before the taliban captured him in 2009. bergdahl you'll recall was freed in may for a prison swap for high-ranking taliban members. >>> the u.s. is digging into sub prime car lending beginning with

but i don't understand the public diplomacy going on here. >> aaron david miller, let me bring you in. we still do hear a lot of public talk from officials on both sides about the strength of israel's ties with the u.s. just last week, congress passed more hundreds of millions to fund the iron dome. here you've advised so many secretaries of state on this conflict. do you think we're going to have to wait a couple of years almost for new administrations in the u.s. and here in israel in order to make a fresh start and move forward with the alliance stronger? >> you know, unlike lehman brothers, i think the u.s.-israeli relationship really is too big to fail. but i do agree with dan that there is a lot of dysfunction at the top. there is a lot of mistrust. there is a lot of suspicion. in life, where you stand has a lot to do with where you sit. and benjamin netanyahu and barack obama are sitting in two very different places with two differing set of conflicting pressures. i think when obama looks at netanyahu, he sees a guy who doesn't respect american interests, who is primarily conce

. >> joining us is erin david miller, vice president at the woodrow wilson center for scol areas, and served for the secretaries of state and helped to form u.s. policy on the middle east and israeli-arab peace process. hamas said on monday that negotiations would be the last chaps for an agreement. so far both sides are demanding what they demanded all along - a lift of the israeli egyptian blockade. israel demanding demilitarization. can negotiators pull off that deal in a short ceasefire? >> not in it represents the fundamental demands. the reality is gaza will not be economically transformed overnight, and demilitarization, if it means taking the weapons away and dismantling 10,,000-15,000 forces assembled and trained over the last 6-7 years in gaza, that will not happen. the question is if there'll be a balance that can meet both sides needs, closer to the middle. rafah opened up fishing zones, extended. the egyptians were preventing some weapons, and importing restrictions on the part of israelis. that would be a lot if you can get that. i'm not sure you can. but i think that is

. >>> erin david miller was a state department senior advisor for arab-israeli negotiations and is now with the woodrow wilson center. i asked what was needed. >> if you reach on agreement that will endure, you have to satisfy four sets of requirements - israelis needs, egypt's - try to introduce the palestinian authority in a role that is somewhere between symbolism on one hand and substance on the other. and satisfy the desires of a hamas military wing that is, as an organization, financially bankrupt, politically isolated, and determined to use military pressure and escalation if they can't find a way to create a fundamental change economically and politically. >> so how do the two sides get past the mistrust? >> this could end in one of two ways. you could have a transformative ending in which somehow hamas evolves and morphs into a different state, and demilitarizes, and it essentially becomes a political party. elections are held. and gaza fundamentally changes, because hamas is - gaza is demilitarized. most of the controls, restrictions are tan off gaza and israelis are no longe

i want to bring in aaron david miller now, the author and former adviser of the arab israeli peace processindy, who is a fellow on the middle east policy at the brookings policy. hello to all of you gentlemen. aaron, president obama said when hamas signs on to a ceasefire, the group is saying it is in control of the various palestinian factions. is that actually happening, or is that hamas's problem right now? >> you know, i think mr. hamdan suggests the degree of confusion that exists now between the military wing, which i would argue are setting the pace of this confrontation and the political leadership. and the problem with the ceasefire effort was that john kerry, the u.n., the qataris and the turks essentially were relying on assessments from the political leadership that the military wing was committed to this. and frankly, khaled meshaal or mr. hamdan outside in qatar are not running the show. the show is being run by a bunch of guys who have high trajectory weapons, who have developed an incredibly sophisticated tunnel infrastructure. and as well khaled may agree or not, believe t

david lee miller is here to explain this unusual story. david? indeed, john. 22-year-old first lieutenant alfonzo cushing helped to win the medal of honor. people have been waging a campaign for decades to give the fallen soldier the recognition they say he deserves. under federal law an act of congress is required if the medal of honor is to be awarded more than three years after the incident took place. cushing died on july 3rd, 1863. it was initiated by a 49-year-old granddaughter of another union soldier. through the years, the campaign gained momentum, eventually winning the support of congressmen and senators and next month, president obama will award the medal to cushing for distinguishing himself during the bloodiest battle of the civil war, a representative of the army will accept the award on his behalf. a white house statement says, describing his valor, i quote, he was wounded in stot ak and as well the right shoulder. refusing to evacuate to the rear, despite his severe wounds, he directed the operation of his lone field piece, conti
