shortly after that brutal ad came out, john kerry was at a town hall in west virginia. west virginia was still a swing state in 2004. the issue com up and kerry tried to got it straight. >> let's get the record clear, secondly this is important. i actually did vote for the $87 billion before i voted against it, because i voted for joe biden and i thought this, joe and i broughten in and to the $87 billion. we said this should be paid for now, not adding to the deficit t. way we should pay for it is say to the wealthiest 1 or 2% of american, instead of accepting $690 become of tax cuts over the course of the next ten years wouldn't you just be willing in the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice to just take $600 billion over the next ten years? you know what? the president said no the republicans voted no the democrats voted yes we didn't get. >> and by the way, at issue here was not just funding for afghanistan, it was operations in iraq and afghanistan. obviously it was iraq in 2004 that was the politically contentious issue. anyway the bush campaign puts that ad up when

it is not just about john kerry saying to the saudi's, clean up your game, it is about john kerry talkingto saudi's about the fact that the u.s. itself is part of this, not just that the u.s. the selling weapons, it is that the u.s. is providing such crucial support that it itself is at war in yemen. conversationnot a of john kerry pointing a finger at the saudi's. it should be about the u.s. and the saudi heavenly coalition violating law in yemen and how we are going to stop it. obamaow can kerry or point the finger at sundry you be a -- at saudi arabia with the approved arms sale? >> exactly. a couple days ago, reuters had report that u.s. advisers were being pulled out of riyadh and they were going to move to bahrain or been a sort of clarity as to what the u.s.' actual role is in this ongoing campaign, it is sort of an acceptable for the u.s. to say the saudi-led coalition, we concerned about violations in yemen and continue to approved arms sales. and not only that, we continue to refuel coalition jets on bombing campaigns, and they continue to provide intelligence support. amy: talk

senator john kerry as i recalled had at least two and maybe more. i certainly did to the there may have been some additional briefings with him. there are times when candidates have had four, five sessions with intelligence as thehe campaign goes a long. so the frequency and the location of the briefings ise negotiate with the city whitee house between the candidates, representatives at the white house. so they can vary from one to many depending on what the two sides agree on. >> host: with its been a presidential candidate or a member of congress, have you ever had concerns over briefing an individual and what would s disqualify somebody from receiving one of these briefings? >> guest: i have not had concerns like that in the past. and in the few number of times i've done this of course. what would disqualify someone? i think what would really disqualify them would be raking the rules after the briefing. in other words, effect of such a briefing they simply went out and talked openly about everything that had beente discussed in terms of, in terms

you know, it turns out i was actually a better negotiator than john kerry. we didn't send money to the iranians. they paid us. i know. i was the one who had to sit down on the other side of the table with the likes of am din jan and rouhani. what they wanted first of all was that $400 million. they got it from this administration. the toes were doctors so they wouldn't work, and we had an interpreter, thank god, who was there and confirmed that. we use the money from the ayatollah to support a pro-democracy unit. we didn't have to do things like they did it. i mean think about this. there's an american transport plane right behind the shipment of money, and they're telling me this isn't ransom? it defies reality. why didn't somebody ask that at the press conference today? >> you know, that's the thing. the president's got this big smile on their face, but the idea that they acknowledge that money will be used for terror. the idea that the $150 billion on top of it, that they can spin their centrifuges, that they can build up conventional arms, that they can

i found a statement from john kerry on that date.'t know if he was on camera but there is a statement suggesting that. ultimately three americans have been taken hostage in iran season this deal went down. stay tuned for that. in the meantime, there is a dr. mat i scene on board one flight. a pilot take down an unruly pass he ever after he attacks a flight afebruary don't. >> you beat 2 other people and lose to hillary clinton you won't be president. focus on the main fight. liz: top republicans offering word of advice for donald trump in his fight against hillary clinton. >> trump's only chance of winning the presidency is to stay on message. blue the dog here for propane. you know, i'm just a humble dog. i didn't attend the elite boarding kennels, but i do know that nothing beats the freedom of living out here with propane, people can live where they want, and just as cozy as they want. whether it's a hot bath (no thank you), a warm bedroom, or a perfectly grilled steak. drop it, drop it, drop it proudly independent. proudly americ

s john kerry is here to meet russia's foreign minister again to see if they can stop the fighting. "what is the main obstacle to a truce?" a journalist shouts. , "i don't wants to ruin the atmosphere." but the mood is already grim. it would close the last guest in a deal to strength and the military opposition against the islamic state syria. even if they do make progress here, it is unlikely to be enough to end a devastating war. more than five years on, syria is shattered. even now fighting still intensifies in a divided cities like aleppo. and so does the pain. these 2 boys just lost their brother. he was killed by a bomb. they still have each other. it is not enough. doucet, bbc news, geneva. jane: for more on the situation in syria and the peace talks, i spoke a short time ago with william taylor, who formerly served as special coordinator of u.s. transition in the state department -- middle east transition at the u.s. state department and is now at the institute for peace. you have been involved in these tricky sorts of negotiations for a very long time. what is your sense of

george bushwhen attacked senator john kerry. and you put those doctors together, it is significant. -- factors together, it is significant. >> we are just talking about the campaigns, not the super pac. those numbers get even higher. havee clinton super pac's outspent the trump super pac's by significant margin as well. when you put it all together, the clinton advertising spent by $100week had reached over million. that outspent all the pro-trump advertising by a margin of 9-1. >> the clinton campaign is focusing on key battleground states. the term campaign with a focus on florida, ohio, pennsylvania and north carolina. states that the trump campaign insists are must win if he has any chance of getting 270 electoral votes. let's look at some of the advertisements on the air. i'm billy clinton and i approve this message. -- hillary clinton and i approve this message. i know more about isis than the generals. [indiscernible] >> hillary clinton's america, the system stays rigged. syrian refugees plug-in. illegal immigrants convic

i'm pleased pleased with the progress we have made on the ground in john kerry and syria. we're -- in iraq and syria. we're far from mosul and raqqa, but we've shown when it comes to conventional fights isil can be beaten with partners on the ground so long as they've got in the meantime, though, you're seeing isil carry out external terrorist acts. and they learned something. they've adapted from al-qaeda. which at a much more centralized operation and tried to plan view elaborate attacks. and what isil has figured out is that if they can convince a handful of people or even a subway or at a parade, or some other public venue, and kill scores of people as opposed to thousands of people, -- it still creates the kinds of fear and concern that elevates their profile. are, less complicated attacks is tough much. it doesn't require as many resources or preparation. but it means that we've got to do even more to generate the intelligence, and to work with our partners in order to degrade those networks. and the fact is that those networks will probably sustain themselves even a

bush the incumbent president and president bush called john kerry, the night of his big super tuesdayted him. said he looked forward to the fight in the fall. then bush's campaign did something that wasn't very grabs or magnanimous, they went after kerry very hard. they went after him on the issue that many voters thought was supposed to be the strength for john kerry, remember he was a vietnam war hero. support for the war hero is when the campaign started.

. >>> secretary of state john kerry says the media should go quiet on terror.well now the white house is responding. welcome everyone i'm stewart va barney in for neil cavuto. john kerry created a firestorm when he said this, no country is immune from terrorism, perhaps the media would do us all a service if they didn't cover it quite as much. people wouldn't know what's going on. to kevin cork on what the white house is saying about that. >> reporter: every now and again the secretary of state can be a bit inartful in the way he's trying to describe a particular issue and in this case i think in his defense what he was trying to suggest was there's not enough context being given within the reporting. listen if something happens overseas or even here domestically we'll be all over it. this is a 24 hour cable world. but, i think where he sort of falls on it just a bit here is a suggestion that, you know, maybe if they didn't talk about it so much people wouldn't be so worried about it or so up in arms about it and in sort of an irrational way. the problem is it'

if you look at john kerry's campaign when he was running. don't forget, we're still in august, right. what you have -- >> he lost in 2004, corey. >> no, i understand, but that change in 2004 that john kerry made helped him do significantly better than what he was doing. look, sometimes, you have to bring different perspectives in. sometimes you have to change things. particularly in a campaign that in the last three or four weeks have missed in my opinion, opportunities to go after hillary clinton for the failures of her campaign and to point out those failures. i think what you have now with kelly anne conway is a messaging expert, someone who will relay bullet points to trump about some of the issues at the clinton campaign. you know, if you're going to talk staff stories, maybe we should be talking about cheryl mill mills, you know, that's fine -- >> we'll talk about that. you've got expertise in terms of staff changes with the donald trump campaign. any last words for paul manafort, corey? >> i wish him the absolute very best and he is a

use john kerry's words, yes, could be used to fund terrorism.at we acknowledge, yeah, they might use it to fund terrorism, but we're going to give it to them anyway? >> well, we're really stupid, and the iranians are brilliant negotiators, and we are pathetically inept. basic rule of negotiation is don't let the other side know that you desperately want something. and obama and kerry from the start allowed the iranians to know full well that they desperately wanted a comprehensive new deal, obama and kerry's legacy, so the iranians beat us up at every turn and it is indisputable that this $400 million was a sweetener for the iranians, in addition to giving the iranians criminals and terrorists and spies back, gave them the $400 million, established a price, by the way, of an american hostage now, $100 million, plus an assorted criminal or thug thrown into the mix. but the bottom line is, obama and kerry wanted it bad and by god they got it, and it's all merely a coincidence that it went down the same day. >> i have some swampland, colonel, in fl

secretary of state john kerry facing backlash after remarks to reporters in bangladesh yesterday. secretary kerry saying quote if you decide one day you are going to be a terrorist and you are willing to kill yourself you can go out and kill some people. you can make some noise. perhaps some people would do as you all a service if they didn't cover it quite as much. people wouldn't know what's going on. that statement is causing, as you might imagine, quite a bit of reaction. joining us now with his take, syndicated columnist and fox news contributor charles krauthammer. charles? >> the set look as little different than usual in the o'reilly setup. >> apparently there is no spin either. >> no spin here. >> your thoughts on secretary kerry? >> if you are living in alternate reality you want other people to come and join you. it's clear that he and his boss, the president, have this view, especially the president. he said it openly that the media, the public, exaggerates the importance of terrorism. he said once obama said if it leads it bleeds the media love it, it's good ratings.

this is shooting the moon if you are john kerry. certainly this opens the door.believe that's true. you have to start somewhere when it comes to syria. this is certainly a good start. bashar al assad has made it clear he's not going anywhere. he only exerted more and more control in the last five years. 500,000 people dead. 5 million people left as refugees. what happens to those people? are people repatriated? is the government handed over? it's a good start. probably a breakthrough but this is chapter one of a 30-chapter book. >> 30 or more. cal, thank you. we'll continue to follow this story and breaking news and share more as it develops. >>> for now, we'll be right back. >>> it's time for the "your business" entrepreneur of the week. when all of your clients are suspected criminals, how do you know who you can trust? this seattle-based husband and wife bail bond team rarely get it wrong. with over 30 years in the business, they share their secrets for screening clients. for more watch "your business" sunday mornings at 7:30 on msnbc. >> brought to you by ame

another famous ad would be the swift boat ad which was used to attack john kerry, not aired by bush. it was aired by a third-party group. >> they raped, cut off ears and cut off heads. >> the accusations that john kerry made against the veterans, who served was just devastating. >> shot at civilians and hurt -- >> cut off limbs. and, blown up bodies. q.that was part of the torture, that you committed war crimes. >> raised villages, and, john kerry gave it, what i and many of my comrades, the prison camps, torture. >> that ad reached only 1 million americans, yet by september of 2004 over 80% of americans, knew the term
