just more recently george shuttle -- i think we all know who george schultz is, the former secretary of the treasure and secretary of state under presidents nixon and ronald reagan published and op-ed in "the washington post" calling for a carbon tax. idea of a carbon tax is something that is gaining more and more support from democrats republicans, independents, people who are very worried about what is happening to our environment. so mr. president in terms of the side-by-side, i personally am strongly opposed to stro senator blunt's amendment which just looks at a tax on carbon, and i should tell you that as a coauthor along with senator boxer, with regard to a carbon tax, we put huge amounts of money into helping those families who might see higher utility bills. that's probably the main source of funding allocation. so we are aware of the problem and we address it in our legislations and it should be addressed in any legislation. but once again in terms of the side-by-side, we are going to give our republican colleagues an opportunity -- a senator: mr. president? the presiding o

. >> [indiscernible] >> under george schultz, one of the great secretaries of state. my point is, i think the situation calls -- not probably in this room, we have people who devoted their lives to security. but as a country. look at the people coming up as potential presidents for the next cycle. almost none have foreign-policy experience. in a world in chaos, or as henry kissinger put it, a period of disorder, i think we have some serious self reflection. >> i don't know if david will agree, i think a point to david made previously, goes to the heart of your concern. our foreign-policy is being run by a small group of people in the white house, most of whom have minimal foreign-policy experience. they've been doing it for six years, but it is as if it has been six days. regardless of who is elected issue is, does the white house run foreign-policy, or do we leave it to the professionals. people like yourself and others who serve in treasury, state commerce, we have a lot of international agencies, and young people are more interconnected with the world than any othe

the criticisms of most of the people in congress, criticisms of people like henry kissinger and george schultz and criticism of numerous legislators in private. so it's not an unusual position for him to be in. that's the consensus position in many ways today. >> i think all of those involved in the negotiations would agree, in principal if they could get those things that would be great, they just don't think that's realistic. what was really striking to me in policy terms about this piece -- what was really striking to me in policy terms about today's speech is netanyahu did not have any alternative strategy to offer to get what the negotiators have already concluded they cannot get, using a negotiating strategy. >> goldberg: ray, did you hear any strategy there, any sort of practical advice to keep the iranians altiranians at the table and get from them what bibi netanyahu wants? >> the practical advice was you increase pressure and revisit the problematic provisions. there's no way to disprove or prove that will work. that's a proposition that can only be tested and practiced. i can't tell

george schultz has duke winning it all, back with us to break all of this down.post" sports columnist. and, of course, friend of the show. jordan always good to have you. such a great weekend of basketball. very bummed in basketball. let's talk about duke. that is your pick. they had a great weekend. >> people don't talk about justice winslow. he's from houston. he has 16 points. he had 21-10 in the sweet 16. he's awesome. he might be the player of the year. their freshman center has been unbelievable. coach k. trying to get title number five. >> you know what's cool about duke? chris would jump in and say nothing. remember mike tyson. he was a bully and he waited to get pushed around. that's what we saw with kentucky. they got bullied around. they got punched in the mouth. they were losing and yet they were resilient. they were strong. they can take a punch and keep going and that was a really important win for them. >> i think that was as impressive a game as they've had. they're 38-0 right now. for them to take that shot against notre dame and then come back a

"the wall street journal" op-ed by george schultz and sandman come none of them starry eyed pacifistsalled openly for the global disarmament. they gave a spree to be two speech and thought america's commitment to seek the peace and security of the nuclear weapons. there are stories of the new nuclear power and the potential also about the traditional powers from modernizing the arsenals china, russia, the united states. the united states modernization program is particularly interesting the the purposes tonight. it's not going to be cheap. the budget office recently estimated that it is going to be on the order of $350 billion over the next decade alone. the economist magazine also had a big story, special issue on the nuclear weapons just a couple weeks ago and they summed it all up. 25 years after the soviet collapse world is entering a new nuclear age. the strategy has become the cockpit of the regime's and the mutual jopling with the five original nuclear weapon powers his own dealings are inspected by suspicion and rivalry. that's scary stuff. why are the nuclear powers acquiring

it was only in 2007 that in the pages of "the wall street journal" an op-ed by george schultz, henrysinger, sam nunn none of them starry-eyed pacifists called openly for global disarmament. two years later the president gave a very stirring speech in prague in which he echoed their call and america's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. seems to be a bipartisan ks aggressive movement toward getting rid of these things. and yet that doesn't seem to be happening. if you read the news you're seeing stories of new nuclear powers, north korea, potentially iran. you're also seeing stories about the traditional great powers who are modernizing their arsenals, china, russia, and the united states. the united states nuclear modernization program is particularly interesting for our purposes tonight. it's not going to be cheap. the congressional budget office recently estimated that it's going to be on the order of $350 billion over the next decade alone. the economist magazine also had a big story, big special issue on nuclear weapons a couple weeks ago

and he left and he apparently took up with george schultz and schultz vetoed it, which surprised nobody. one of the conversations i had later with next then, i thinks 15th conversation, whenever that conversation was, he said he did not send george shultz out there to get candy ass he expected more than what he was getting, but that did not surprise me from what i knew of george shultz. i was a most 99% sure that johnnie walters was not going to have anything to do with it, but this did not get them around both shultz and walters. i knew they had open access to irs files when the guy was sort of a special counsel title, may have worked in ehrlichman's office, may have just been a freelancer, but clark mullen half, a well-known established super ethical journalist, ombudsman who was going to go and look at irs stuff for whatever reason and was getting a lot of irs files over. we did not do that in my office. caufield apparently did. tax returns. moderator: roger -- john: i was going to say they had placed in the internal revenue service a man that was very from it to the white house by t

we had george schultz. we had madeleine albright. so we had democrats and republicans, and they all agreed -- and she testified about her concern about the deep cuts to the defense department saying it jeopardizes america's military reach. now this is a democrat talking. this is madeleine albright. over the last six years significant cuts to the national security spending have forced our men and women in uniform to endure a steep and damaging drop in capabilities and readiness. readiness, all of them testified that our readiness is dropping down. when you're talking about readiness you're talking about risk. when you talk about risk you're talking about american lives. our naval fleet is at an historic low level of ships. air force is the smallest in its history. the army is shrinking to a force not seen since before world war ii. and at a time when our security is being increasingly threatened by terrorism, a rising china and isis and rogue nations like iran and north korea the men and women charged with protecting this nation are b
