we have an open invitation to him and john kerry. guest: the issues between the united states and iran are much broader than the nuclear program. focusump administration's has been on changing the conversation from being just about the nuclear program to talking about iran policy as a whole. afraide matters, i am the iaea is by no means an expert. zarif is a charming man but unfortunately has little control over those causing trouble in iran. revolutionary guards do not report to iran's president and pay very little attention to dr. zarif. host: democrats line, good morning. the washington institute for near east policy is lobbyists masquerading as a think tank. i would like to draw your attention to an article in "business insider" from 2012. "lobbyist says israel should create a false like to start a war with israel." that is a reference to guest that suggests the united states should provoke iran into a war so wehe united states will cause this ally to drop nuclear weapons on them. one thing that should be known is your guest prom

storm of discord last week were his trump speaking about john kerry swearing in chester. an arisaka. we'll have a look. juice warren. general kelly. he will do i. spectacular job i have no doubt. we're doing very well we have a tremendous base. i'll have a tremendous little support for country is optimistic. and i think the general just at. often the turmoil in washington at trump's vice president's aids in georgia where he's continuing the tour of former soviet states taking with him the message washington. is with you against russian aggression mike pence visit the region during a severe downturn in ties with russia the kremlin. has ordered that the u. s. cut hundreds of diplomatic starve from russia a response to stick sanctions. imposed on moscow by washington last week lead schrager has the story. expulsions of us diplomatic stuff from moscow washington's move to levy sanctions against russia it's all part of spiraling rhetoric which is threatening to spread as russia's deputy foreign minister warned on. u. s. television. even the u. s. side decides to move further t

john finer, john kerry as well.lso, ben, author of "fragile empire" how russia fell in and out of love with vladimir putin. i want to play another moment from secretary tillerson and the meeting of donald trump and vladimir putin. take a listen. >> with regard to the interference in the election, i think the president took note of actions that have been discussed by the congress. most recently, additional sanctions that had been voted out of the senate to make it clear as to the seriousness of the issue. i think what the two presidents, i think, rightly focused on is how do we move forward. how do we move forward from here? it's not clear to me that we will ever come to some agreed upon resolution of that question between the two nations. the question is, what do we do now? i think the relationship and president made this clear as well. it's too important and it's too important to not find a way to move forward. >> john, as a state department official under john kerry, what do you think when you hear this new secret

to senators jeohn mccain, john kerry and all friends near and far. and i can see here many familiar faces, good friends of vietnam for many years. [speaking in a foreign language] >> translator: looking back at the history of upheavals in our relationship at the past 20 years of cooperation i would like to say to you and also president trump, that we have thrived beyond our own severals, having not only risen above the past and looked to what's the future. but also embarked upon a journey together to shape a brighter future and write a new chapter for our bilateral relations. contributing to peace and shared prosperity in asia pacific and beyond. [speaking in a foreign language] [speaking in a foreign language] >> translator: just before coming here i held talks with president trump. and prior to that had a series of americans with american secretaries and politicians to discuss ways to strengthen our partnership. we agreed on range of collaborative actions to realize the twin objectives of growth and jobs beneficial to both sides. we will encourage

but it is in its very kerry is precariouisness it becomes necessary. john f.lly embrace our responsibility as citizens, to stay true to our allegiance, to our highest and best ideals. to maintain our regard and concern for the poor and the aged, and the marginalized. to put our personal or party interests aside when duty to our country calls. when conscience demands. that is the spirit that has brought america so far. and that is the spirit that will always carry us to better days. i take this on earth that you have bestowed on me here tonight, as a reminder that even out of office, i must do all that i can to advance the spirit of service that john f. kennedy presents. thank you all very much and god bless you. may he bless these united states of america. thank you. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, i think president obama for those comments, i think the ambassador, caroline kennedy for her efforts in helping us prepare and implement this great evening today, and i particularly thank jim imholt and general electric for providing the leadership this evening.

one of the things i have heard from people that work for secretary of state, john kerry, like you, is sometimes when you meet with vladimir putin, they begin with really recounting of u.s. russian or soviet history. more of a lecture than a conversation. >> that's exactly right. that's why the meetings with vladimir putin tepid to go longer. i would not be surprised if this goes quite a bit longer. he will start and have a list of grievances that go back to afghanistan in the '70s and the iraq war invasion under president bush and blame all of it on the united states. on the way his country feels pressured by the left. he'll do that, hopefully. i'm sure they have pressed president trump to also have an opening statement of his own and lay down the markers he wants to talk about and the things to put the bilate ral relationship with russia on a common track. >> i think we should not be surprised if president trump brings up russian election meddingling. the white house set the bar low to exceed it. what message should president trump send on that front and overall in this first discuss

he later made john kerry wait for three hours in moscow. later mocked him for carrying his own bags from the plane saying he probably has money in there to bribe somebody. this is all putin's number. as he gross guy. according to the post, he used phone tabs. are in 2007, he said he knew exactly what joe biden had said so he bribes about tapping phones. the russian intelligence agents were listening on their calls. joining me on the story. former secretary of state, we have two experts here. just lay it on us. if you're with bush -- i keep getting my presidents out of date. if you're with president trump and you're advising him in the back room and you say, here's what you have to be ready for. this guy has a lot of moves. it's pretty nasty. >> this is a former kgb officer in vladimir putin. he is super well prepared. he's been through three president bfs and has been in a number of these meetings. president trump has spoken with putin on the phone but this is first meeting. >> how will he try screw with trump's head? >> all these tactics,

one of the finest secretaries of state ever to represent america around the world, john kerry.this country has ever known, mr. joe biden. applause] also want toi for --ichelle obama after the presidency -- sticking with me. [laughter] pres. obama: because i think she felt an obligation to the country to stay on. at, once her official duties were over it was not clear. [laughter] pres. obama: i love my wife. and, i am grateful for her. it wasdo believe that america's great good fortune to have her as first lady. ] heers and applause pres. obama: so i am humbled by this evening and to be honored by a family that has given this country so much, a family that has challenged us to ask what we can do for our country. to dream and say, why not? against the wind in its pursuit. that is what this family has done for america. to all the members of the kennedy family that are here tonight, thank you. i could not be more grateful. could not be more grateful to the profiles encourage committee for this on our and i am also grateful that unlike the nobel prize committee, you waited until i w

former chief of staff, secretary of state john kerry. jill daugherty. and steve hall. in the room with vladimir putin several times when he met with then secretary of state john kerry. give us an idea of what that's like, the vibe he gives off. >> thanks, john. the trick with the meetings is to maximize the amount of time you're spending on the agenda that you have and minimize the amount of time that is inevitably a fairly lengthy russian diatribe in foreign policy. they usually start the meeting with. they'll go back in history to the cold war, to the arab spring, to the iraq invasion, to try to put the person across the table on the defensive. i think the key is being able to rebut it when absolutely necessary, and then shift to your own agenda, which is, you know, the most important reason why you're there. >> jill daugherty, so much is made of the optics of this. who will smile, who will frown, who will shake hands first. but you know, you know, don't forget the u.s. policy here and what is the u.s. policy toward russia. >> well, i don't think actually there is a

so i get 50 senators and supreme court justices and the secretaries like hillary clinton and john kerry, and i asked everybody to read a passage from the constitution. so that we could have one thing that we could show on july 4, that there is a connective tissue that keeps this country together. this thing about our democracy very fragile thing and it is magical that, two hundred 40 years later, we are still celebrating this one document that our founding fathers wrote. the constitution and the declaration of independence were compromises. are we seeing that in politics today? isi don't know if compromise alive and well. it seems that whatever party wins, owns the keys to the castle. i am just hoping for when day you will take off the democrat line, the republican line, the independent line, and everyone will just call in as americans and not take this opportunity to bash each other. daye could just take one and hold the calls and all just act like americans for one day, i feel like that is my goal here. so i don't think it is appropriate, trying to make any political statements here.

clinton andillary john kerry who constantly made the comment that foreign-policy is economic policy, economic policy is foreign-policy, so we should not see that as being surprising. that is something that is very consistent with our bipartisan approach.licy condoleezza rice and colin powell also took the same approach there, so that is why i is asthe state department engaged if not more so in the g-20 than the treasury department and the commerce department czar. >> looking at the situation with north korea, you mentioned china could have a strong role to play. what does a strong role look like and where do anticipate they will do? >> here is the challenge. on one hand, 85% of north korea's trade is with china. they depend on china for many of the goods and services that allow the country to keep running, so obviously if china clamps down on that, that could have a huge impact. on the other hand, they do not a massive rush of refugees from north korea into they don'tsecondly, want to see reunification of the korean peninsula, which would put the united states right on china's border

if you recall, in the election that john kerry ran in, john kerry said, why were you for this piece of legislation and then you were against it? remember he said i was for it before i was against it? once you get on this bill, that means you're for the repeal. i don't think there's any mixing of the words or the intention. if you get on that bill, that means you're voting to move that process down the road to repeal. and when you vote to repeal, andrea, it's going to be hard to put humpity dumpty back on the wall. >> jared kushner is coming out after more than two hours with the committee staff. he's walking out of the heart building now, and we're going to hear from him once he gets back to the white house. and we'll hear from jared kushner, with his version whether or not you and the committee team put out an alternative version remains to be seen. but that's jared kushner leaving after his two hours plus of testimony. thank you very much senator joe manchin. the status quo on health care is that the democrats are holding firm and so far as far as we know, there are not enough republ

john finer is the former chief of staff for then secretary of state john kerry. claughlin, let me start with you. this this is ian bremer, editor at large at "time" magazine. this is how his sources explained the second meeting. take a listen. >> many of the leaders that were in that room, including, you know, america's most important allies, were quite surprised. they found it unusual and noteworthy. the body language, the chemistry, the fact that it went on for so long. and the fact, of course, it reflected a much warmer relationship between trump and putin than he has with any of the other leaders in the room. >> john mclaughlin, what do you make of this most recent revelation? >> you know, craig, on one sense, it's fair enough for the president to be able to move around a meeting like this and have a conversation with other leaders. what makes it unusual, of course, is the mysterious relationship that donald trump has with russia generally and the investigation that's under way. i would have three concerns about a meeting like this. first, he didn't have his o

secretary tillerson sounded like john kerry when he said, gee our objectives look awfully similar. robert: when you step back and think about this exchange between putin and trump, is this a re-imagination. is this something that the u.s. is going in a different direction in everything you have seen? >> no. each of the last three presidents has determined to re-set the relationship with russia. president clinton, president bush and president obama and they found it frustrating in different ways. president putin has been frustrating to the last two presidents and i don't think he is going to become our best friend just because donald trump who said as a candidate he would be. there are areas where we have room for agreement. there are areas where we have shared interests. and that's what this administration is going to focus on. politics at home probably wouldn't allow it. but there are areas where we could have a constructive relationship and the question whether or not president putin wants to make concessions. robert: is there one person you think that is driving trump, shaping p

he was not a politician like john kerry, hillary clinton was, but again as we move forward it seems like it's more friction with the guy at the top. >> we will be watching. we will see what this means. meantime, president trump is taking a little heat for bringing in h his youngest son to an ongoing twitter beat with the media. jared kushner did very well in proving he did not collude with the russian's witch hunt. up next 11 year old barron trump. ronica cleary went out to get the pulse of the people on h >>reporter: jim and shawn. yeah, you know, the president has really made it a tradition, if you will, a new tradition to fire up a lot of tweets p in the morning and they sometimes blend together, if you will. this would be part for the last part of it. i think we have it to just pull up one more time. the end of that tweet we ook to the streets and we reddit to pep and the part that we really wanted people to focus on was this last part of it that says next up 11 year old barron trump. we asked people if they agree with that sentiment. take a listen. i didn't get to see jared kushner

he certainly flirted openly with the idea of perhaps being john kerry's running mate, who was the democratic nominee at this time. but eventually pulled back from that. and then gave one of, if not the most important speeches on behalf of george w. bush at the republican convention. i'm not saying that's the reason that george w. bush won, but certainly the fact that they were able to bring john mccain in were part of the reasons they were able to coalesce independent voters and go on to beat john kerry. there are numerous examples throughout the course of his career where he will challenge his republican colleagues. ewill stand up and say he isn't necessarily in favor of their course of action, that they need to right the ship. and a lot of times that does lead to them doing things a little bit differently. but at the end of the day, he is still a pretty reliable republican. he usually sides with republicans and sides with the team. 10 if he were to make a break like this, i think if you go back throughout his history, this would be perhaps his most important statement, the most important e

hoped that a more benign environment would result because they built this working relationship, john kerry and sharif, though a very senior official who'd done with a lot with iran said they will be worst after the deal because they want to prove they're not wimps or weak. >> the schism nick is describing within the trump administration is reflected in iran as well. president rouhani was going to open up negotiations with the west to deliver on this deal and recently reelected but that was not a unanimous decision or feeling in iran. >> no, it was not, certainly at the time. rouhani and the supreme leader had to fight hard liners. there is a point zarif made that the money has not rolled in as expected, meaning foreign investment. i mean, part of it was, as one person said to me, it was $100 a barrel when they started negotiations, $40 after. the energy sector isn't dieing to rush in. the banks are almost insolvent, i wouldn't say, but a lot of bad loans. the companies have to be big enough to come in and fund it and finally there are all these signals and they have gotten more intense sin

former presidential candidate john kerry? or mark zuckerberg, ceo of facebook?ter the break. potsch: you each drive a ford pickup, right? (in unison) russ, leland, gary: yes. gary: i have a ford f-150. michael: i've always been a ford guy. potsch: then i have a real treat for you today. michael: awesome. potsch: i'm going to show you a next generation pickup. michael: let's do this. potsch: this new truck now has a cornerstep built right into the bumper. gary: super cool. potsch: the bed is made of high-strength steel, which is less susceptible to punctures than aluminum. jim: aluminum is great for a lot of things, but maybe not the bed of a truck. potsch: and best of all, this new truck is actually- gary: (all laughing) oh my... potsch: the current chevy silverado. gary: i'm speechless. gary: this puts my ford truck to shame. james: i'll tell you, i might be a chevy guy now. (laughing) i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early... or too late. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. >> so which

would not assume nothing came out of this meeting. >> you're the former secretary of state for john kerry, let me talk about what the president referenced there. he said he just learned about possibly loretta lynch had been responsible for the russian lawyer getting into the country. there are numerous stories on this. this is not from nbc. i want to read to you from what the hill reported. moscow lawyer had been turned down for a visa to enter the u.s. lawfully but then was granted special immigration parole by then attorney general loretta lynch for limited purposes of helping a company owned by one of her clients. tell us about special immigration parole, what you can, and how it might fit into this story. >> well, listen, i think like a lot of people i'd never even hear this lawyer's name until a couple days ago when she came up in the context of these news articles. what seems to be going on here is a tactic that the president and his team have used a lot. when one issue or allegation is raised, they bring up a kind of a collateral comparison or side issue to try to kind of distract

and if we could start working together with the russians, that's something john kerry wanted to do in the obama administration. we could start working with the russians more closely on syria, that could be very promising too. this was presidential. this was big league stuff. >> the fact, though, laura, to you next, as a former member of the obama administration, you have been very critical of president trump. your reaction. do you give the president credit with how he handled the election interference off the top? >> well, i think david's right that we need to know a bit more here. i think the differing accounts that we've seen from tillerson and lovrov are of concern. if they've walked away with a difference understanding of what happened in that conversation, that's not a good sign. i think it is important that the president raised it. i think it's interesting that the president himself has still not said publicly that he believes that russia was involved in this and so i think it will be important for us to hear that from him directly. but i do also think it's important for us to r

whenever even heard about such decisions under barack obama on a presidential level it was up to john kerry to try and do the job when it comes to syria diplomacy on the part of the u.s. when it comes to the russian president vladimir putin he has already met and manual macron and angola merkel these are three party talks the normandy format minus one if you like because the cranium president petro poroshenko wasn't there the mood was between saw emanuel macron tapping with lattimer putin on the back and that is something that actually has been doing throughout the whole summit now i can tell you that of course more meetings are still to come but more importantly press conferences all of the leaders including a lot of our putin so i'll be watching that for you well away from the politics pictures from the g. twenty summit have been capturing the imagination of people on social media some true. between trump and putin's talks with the political t.v. series high some cards as the russian president appeared to strike a similar facial expression as fictional kremlin boss viktor a patrol of body

past but under barack obama we didn't hear about decisions like friday's one out all it was up to john kerry to do the job when it comes to syria diplomacy on the part of the u.s. and the buildup to this the number one issue discussed in the u.s. media was whether donald trump was going to bring up the issue of russian interference in the u.s. election well i can tell you that american journalists didn't give their president a chance to be the first one to bring this question up thank you very much. to larry king live. the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson who was also in that room during the talks told us that the american president opened his discussion with his russian counterpart by citing the concerns of the american people over allegations of russian hacking rex tillerson went on to say that the president came back to that question several times but a lot of putin kept denying any involvement in the meantime the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov says that russia's take on this issue hasn't changed that you have the new model for this company has been blown through pollution an

of state john kerry to try and do the job when it comes to syria diplomacy on the part of the u.s. now when it comes to the russian president he has already met with the french president manual macron and the german chancellor angela merkel on saturday morning these were three party talks on the ukraine crisis the normandy format minus one if you like because the ukrainian president petro poroshenko wasn't present there it looked like the mood was between he saw emmanuel macron tapping with him on the back and that is something that actually has been doing throughout the whole summit now i can tell you that of course more meetings are still to come but more importantly press conferences of the leaders including a lot of our putin so i'll be watching that for you yeah good bring us up to speed when you get all the latest and we'll come back after noon india from out of the g. twenty. so away from the politics pictures from the g. twenty summit of been capturing the imagination of people on social media as they always do drew comparisons between trump and putin's talks with the polit

former secretary rice, condoleezza rice is one of the cultures and maybe former secretary of state john kerry to be the other.hat took p that way you have democrat and republican so that we can get at the essence of what took place. this really is about finding out how we preserve our democratic process. if elections in 2018, another in 2020. we do not want russia or anyone else having an influencer playing a role in the election. we need to get to the bottom of it. all of us should be rallying to make that happen. >> caller: hello. thank you. first i'd like to say i completely agree with representative. and i appreciate him making hisu comments. the republicans need to stop litigating the election. we agree is democrats that the election ended long time ago. no one disputes that trump one. there is no doubt that the election is over. we need to stop blaming democrats. stop blaming them for obstruction legislation. mitch mcconnell wanted to be said, we don't want to work with democrats at all, we don't have any interest in working with democrats. and the next daye john kasich said, we'd like

team as usual the president broke the news on twitter announcing the homeland security secretary john kerry now has the job a week ago the white house press secretary sean spicer also abruptly left his position and that had been widely expected as he had not been appearing at briefings for some time however the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james comey back in may did come as a shock one of the reasons trump gave for that decision was the intelligence chief handling of the probe into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state and before that national security adviser michael flynn was forced to resign over his contacts with russia jacqueline looks now at how relationships in the white house are starting to resemble a notable t.v. drama between senate investigations and twitter wars the current u.s. presidency it has barely gotten the ball rolling but there has been plenty of drama we are strongest when we're you know. this is a bunch of scumbags. president will be. small president is not presidential. for this country. mr speaker to call for the impeachment

really weird we do this these agreements between mr obama and me at the highest level and then when john kerry the secretary of state gets back to washington well it appears that not everybody not everybody obeys the commander in chief who treats words so this will be a matter of trust and it's going to be pretty soon when we find out whether putin and trust that trump has enough power not to be subverted not to be do you think this sort of has to his his test to president trump his first test you know it is because you know they've come to this agreement now will the air force a bomb syrian army positions that's what that the less time if they don't then i think there's a measure of trust that begins to grows with respect to putin of course trust is what the what the name of the game is the rest of the things that trump looks that putin looks at and not very reassuring because it does look very much as though trump is not in control he can't even control his own ambassadors to the united nations who is trying to act like a johnny olson role defection on a little road we're talking about nikki

whatever our income or spending habits john kerry bbc news deferre. and a brief time ago i spoke with caroline adams meta author of getting great in creating a past life. so caroline does the finding of the study surprise you that spending money on a clean now robin handbag can make you happy. note we've known in the field a positive psychology for well over ten years maybe longer that money does not buy happiness so investing in things doesn't make people happier it's experiences that. that make people happier but i think the interesting thing behind this particular study is it's our perception of time i think that really matters is what we think about the time that we have available. so what if you're actually buying you know cleaning and gardening and other kinds of things but you're not spending the time that it gets you. on anything that's meaningful so that's really where my concern would be because you can fill it with anything but is it meaningful okay if you think this is particularly applicable to women who have salfen the head of the househ

will be replaced with the current secretary of homeland security john kerry and he's just the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exits in just the past six months alone a week ago the white house press secretary this guy sean spicer left his position didn't really come as much of a surprise to many because he hadn't been appearing at briefings for some time however the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james comey back in may that did come as a major shock even one of the reasons that decision was his intelligence chief handling of the investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server when she was secretary of state before that his national security advisor michael flynn was forced to resign with weeks of taking up the job over alleged ties to russia. next then looks at how the relationships in the white house are starting to resemble one particular t.v. series. between senate investigations and twitter wars the current us presidency has barely gotten the ball rolling but there has been plenty of drama we are strongest when we're unified. th

went to work immediately after the inauguration, went to work for john kerry on the senate foreign relationsttee on the democratic staff. i'm a third-generation democrat. i've always been a democrat. i've always been a progressive. then the whole weight of the u.s. government fell on my head. and so i got to meet people like tom drake, for example, at nsa. he was an nsa whistleblower who was prosecuted under the espionage act during the balm. obama administration and others. it turns out between the passage of the espionage act in 1917, and obama's inauguration in 2009, three americans were charged with espionage for speaking to the press. just during the obama administration, eight people were charged with espionage. espionage is one of the most -- it's one of the gravest crimes with which an american can be charged, it frequently carries with it the death penalty and eight people were charged by obama's justice department with espionage just for speaking to the press. now, there's a legal definition of whistle blowing, it's bringing to light any evidence of waste, fraud, abuse, illegality

secretary of state john kerry but it wasn't really the business it seemed of rock obama when it comes to dealing with the russian president. thank you very much. for making that your family. just going to mention to you that going into this meeting president trump was under a bit of pressure was need to raise the issue of hacking and perhaps alleged russian meddling in the u.s. presidential campaign and it does seem that those topics were touched upon. i think what you've just seen right now was the reaction of to journalists you know these were the guys who didn't even leave dol trump a chance to bring up the issue of russian election interference just before that because when they were asked to leave the room the u.s. journalist i guess they were screaming in english that's what they said these were questions and i can tell you that rex tillerson who was also there he told us that actually the thing that mr trump opened the discussions with was the issues the concerns of the american people over allegations of russian hacking now after that we heard from certain lavrov who told the
