all of this contained in a deal that was struck when john kerry was secretary of state. iran's take on all of this in the foreign minister says he negotiated that initial accord with the former circuitry of state for more than two years and the foreign minister in iran says they will not participate in any new negotiations since it already spent years doing so. we are waiting there in the diplomatic room of the white house for president trump to discuss his decision on whether or not the united states will day in the iran nuclear agreement. he treated yesterday that they can't get over the fact that he had a chance and blew it. stay away from negotiations, john, you're hurting the country. that was a treat from today. he also said yesterday that the united states does not need john kerry possibly illegally shadow diplomacy on the very badly negotiated and iran deal. was the one that created the mess in the first place. we are expecting to take your phone calls after the president makes his remarks here in his announcement. live coverage from the double attic room in the

effect on our former secretary of state, john kerry, going around trying to make sure this deal doesn't fall away? >> i don't think it's a helpful thing. i don't think it's an appropriate thing but i don't think it's illegal. i remember a number of us signed a letter that we sent to the iranian government that said we're not for this. immediately the obama administration and probably john kerry said, oh, that's a violation of the logan act, that nobody has ever been prosecuted under. i don't think -- i can't imagine another secretary of state doing what john kerry is doing. i don't think there's a law that prevents that. the appropriate way to behave once you have left a job should indicate you shouldn't do it. >> we've seen the president do this with other issues. the omnibus spending bill where he will lay out a plan for taking one course or the other. how does this help us diplomatically to send a message

i want to circle back on john kerry. a piece in the boston herald says if bob mueller is truly interested in investing people colluding with foreign powers to undermine us interests john kerry should be target number one for secretly meeting with iran's foreign minister more than once and other foreign officials in recent weeks to usurp us foreign policy. he goes on to say what other deep state officials have been working to sanitize us foreign interests. commerce must open an investigation to find out, failure to do so will reveal how partisan interrupt -- >> i suspect that was written by someone who had an agenda, not the boston globe. a columnist that has an agenda. maybe there is something there. investigations are always appropriate if they are balanced and just and go after the truth. the question is what are we going to do? spend all our time on a sidetrack, not even a minor sideshow but the major show is video itself. by the way, american foreign policy is not established. when john kerry was doing this there was

the president also warning former secretary of state john kerry to quit working behind the scene to try to save obama's legacy deal. kerry was the architect of it and he's reportedly been negotiating on his own with iranian officials, that's weird, as well as some f 0 our european allies. he's going rogue. the president tweeted this morning, the united states does not need john kerry's possibly illegal shadow diplomacy on the badly negotiated iran deal. he was the one who created this mess in the first place. earlier today on outnumbered, we talked about former secretary kerry and i compared him to one of america's most notorious rogue state supervisorses. >> it makes him the jane fonda of the middle east. there's something about so unethical and underhanded. foreign policy and diplomacy are supposed to be spate from domestic politics. if that were before a live audience, the room would have been deafening. is the president pulling out of this deal? joining me now, florida republican congressman matt gates. welcome back, congressman gates. >> good to be back with you, kennedy. kennedy:

people like john kerry, republicans and most world leaders think we should stay in the deal.ow do you defend being in the minority on this issue? >> when the agreement itself was bad, the administration inherited its, we can work to fix this deal, and in the european union, politicians within iran. and any changes to it. if the agreement is bad, that is not a stabilizer for world peace. you have to have verifiable and concrete steps. and what is off-limits for us to go to in iran. military bases. >> they for giving us your insight. and we wait for that big decision. 20 minutes after the hour. double-digit rate hikes where obamacare's healthcare plan getting even higher. >> i am so loyal, stormy daniels. kim jung un joe piscopo sounding off on his alma mater, crossing a line by putting stormy daniels on the show, no shortage of reaction. good morning. ♪ mr. elliot, what's your wifi password? wifi? wifi's ordinary. basic. do i look basic? nope! which is why i have xfinity xfi. it's super fast and you can control every device in the house.

is john kerry ripe for rebuke? >> well, he -- i think is down playing amid controversy -- clarifying what his role is. he's a former secretary of state, former united states senator, he's a former presidential nominee. you think it is normal that as he travels around the world he's going to have some conversations and make his views known. the issue and i don't see how he can do this given the difference in their policy views. the issue is if he's trying to cast himself as there's a back channel here that exist that's we can make work, we can end run donald trump. i don't see how that's a possibility. if john kerry wants to have his voice heard, that's fine. i think donald trump is always about winning and losing. if he's up, the other guy's down. i don't think that john kerry is talking about the iran deal around the world as he meets with people. so i think that, you know -- it doesn't have any material impact. it gives donald trump an enemy. he likes that. he likes to attack people. he likes to make an enm and s

so is john kerry, in fact, doing more harm than good? kerry always has done more harm than good. so it's just consistent with the way he has operated over the last few years when he was in power and now that he is out of power. the worst thing about all of this is that even if the president decides not to support the iranian deal on the 12th of may, the worst part of it is iranians were given $150 billion which they're using to fund the expansion of terrorism in the most critical part of the world. senator kerry should understand that ironically people are beginning to talk about what he is doing with the iranian foreign minister and foreign leaders as falling under the logan act which the obama administration tried to charge general flynn with. >> julie: i want to talk more about iran's role in syria. iran has held up its end of the nuclear deal by halting nuclear ambitions in iran they have a bloody hand in the war in syria. does a new deal in iran hold them accountable or is john kerry forgetting about syria? >> john kerry never worri

griff: and there are reports that former secretary of state, john john kerry, has been engaging in whate are calling shadow diplomacy to try the save the deal and he's facing criticism from john lieberman for doing so. >> i hope everybody he's talking to knows that but in my opinion what he's doing is inappropriate and she shouldn't be doing it. griff: president trump has said on multiple occasion that is he would pull out of the deal on may 12th. pompeo has a press conference this afternoon, we may learn more. jillian: time will tell, that's for sure. the white house ramping up efforts to confirm gina haspel as first female cia director. rob: causing a stir in washington ahead of her senate hearing, todd piro joins us now. >> the white house is not backing down on its support for president trump's pick to lead the cia. administration officials saying, quote, her nomination will not be derailed bipartisan critics who side with the aclu over the cia on how to keep the american people safe. this all comes after haspel reportedly toyed with withdrawing nomination over scrutiny of interroga

john kerry thanks them for their generosity of returning them. i think it is just a bad play all together. if you look at north korea you have president clinton in the '90s. you have second george bush in the 2000s and then president obama all had failed policies on north korea. so these are things that this president is different. i think we can all agree with that but he is very direct with his line of tactics. i think we have seen that in syria. i think you are seeing a great play in north korea with what we are doing. i think what you will see in iran it will work out for the best. >> brought up current deputy director. >> we will leave this conversation to go live to the atlantic council

as president trump slams former obama state john kerry for -- saying, united states does not need john kerry's possible illegal shot of diplomacy on the very badly negotiated iranian deal, he is th one that created mess, former senator joe lieberman admitting that kerry went too far. >> a story, logan act has not been enforced for a long time. john kerry is not numbers areiating on be-- negotiates on behalf of the u.s., what he is doing is unappropriate. take two former secretary of states canny rice, who opposes it and hillary clinton who supported it, neither one is going around talking to the iranians and europeans and frying to i guess convince them to not be affected by the current trump administration. a duly elected administration, i hope that john kerry stops. john: john kerry's tenure was mixed, i think that would be fair to say. he did nothing -- could not too anything whether putin took over crimea. and north korea pretty much continued unabated. he had a couple of successes for more kerry, tpp, transpacific partnership, which president got out of as soon as he got in offers

. >> what do we know that john kerry is getting in the middle of this? he is trying to work behind the scenes to save the deal? >> very interesting. according to a report in the "boston globe" former secretary of state john kerry who was the lead negotiator has been engaging in shadow diplomacy to try to save the deal. he has been talking to former contacts he had in his own post including the iranian foreign minister. he is facing a lot of criticism

because john kerry is today a private citizen. he's working directly against the current administration whereas what was michael flynn doing? he was part of the transition team of an incoming administration. >> while the former secretary of state privately pushes to hold the iran deal together, european governments are doing so publicist delma publicly. boris johnson met with secretary of state mike pompeo here at the state department. iran's president says this country could stay part of the deal even if the united states withdraws. if the other countries part of this agreement remain committed. shannon. >> shannon: thank you very much. democratic congressman from california john garamendi met with john kerry last week to discuss the iran deal. he joins us now. the congressman sits on the on services committee. >> good to be with you. >> shannon: what you make of this characterization, saying it's inappropriate -- former senator and former secretary gary is doing now, what you think you might >> i don't think it's inappropriate a

not easy to get inside of john kerry's head.ouldn't sure i want to be in there he is thinking he is doing god's work. he opposed the vietnam war, called it a war crime. this is the same guy opposed 2001 george w. bush withdrawal from the abm, anti-ballistic missile treaty. as if he were over with the russians to figure out a way how not to get out after bm treaty there are two issues. that is difficult. logan act has not been enforced in 119 years. it has been referred to by the supreme court three times. it is an act what you suggest, prevents someone doing private diplomacy, no matter how prompt you think they are. article iii, section 3, clause one of the united states constitution, says you can not provide aid and comfort to the enemy. there is frankly no country in the world that fits more precisely into the definition of a sworn enemy of the united states. what do you do about it? we say prosecute. it is iffy prosecution. professor dershowitz up at harvard has said that it is probably unconstitutionally vague, the logan ac

for meeting with the foreign minister from iran, he tweeted yesterday john kerry can't get over the fact he had his chance and blew it. stay away from negotiations, john. you're hurting your country. what is your take on that? >> well, the deal that john kerry helped negotiate led the negotiations for is in place today and it's working today. iran is complying with the deal. the international community is united and holding iran responsible. all the pathways getting to a nuclear weapon has been blocked. he has every reason to be very proud of what he accomplished and the united states deciding to walk away from this deal to go back on its word that it made not just to iran but all the major powers in the world will put us in a much worse strategic position. from my perspective this is an easy one opini. john kerry has the right side of this argument. donald trump has the wrong side. the only reason donald trump has for walking away now is this is a deal that he didn't negotiate but barack obama did. that's no reason for a commander in chief and president of the united states to play arou

did john kerry violate the law?ut first, the obstruction and the stonewalling from the department of justice reached a fever pitch. thousands upon thousands of documents that have been requested and subpoenaed by the house judicialiary committee, by the house oversight committee, and by the house intel committee are still being slow walked and withheld or massively redacted in what is a clear effort to impair the constitutional right and duty of congress to check the d.o.j. and the executive branch. now the intel committee chairman devin nunes will join us in a second. he is now actively encouraging fellow lawmakers to hold the attorney general jeff sessions in contempt of congress. earlier today, sessions responded. let's take a look. >> the department of justice has written him a letter and responded as appropriate to him. the request he has made is one that the intelligence communities and the department of justice feels is not grantable. we have explained that we would be willing to talk to him about it before.

now it looks like john kerry whose fingerprints were all over the iranian deal, it looks like john kerrye from his spokesperson, is he admitting that he is breaking the logan act. ainsley: he has been meeting with iranian leaders, our european leaders. of the president is condemning for engaging in what they are cawrlg shadow diplomacy. he tweeted about it. the president says the united states does not need john kerry's illegal shadow diplomacy on the badly negotiated iran deal. set one who create you had this mess in the first place. steve: kerry's spokesperson pretty much admitted it and said i think every american would want every voice possible urging iran to remain in compliance with the nuclear agreement that prevented a war, they say. secretary kerry stays in touch with his former counterparts around the world just like every previous secretary of state. so far so good. like america's closest allies he believes it's important that the nuclear agreement, which took the world years to negotiate, remain effective as countries focus on stability in the region. ainsley: doesn't look go

it's a skill set that history will be kinder to than john kerry.ana, on a scale of 1 being super awesome to 10 being super, super, super, super, super awesome. >> dana: here's the other thing. not only did president trump keep his promise. we are 18 months into his presidency. he gave the people that wanted to keep this deal, he gave them a chance to persuade him. he was not persuaded. not by people here in america or by the visitors from europe who came to visit and he decided he wasn't going to just take a little piece out of it. we are actually pulling out of the entire thing. he made his case, whether he's persuasive enough across the board, i don't know. but it doesn't actually matter. the prisoner wasn't persuasive enough initially was president obama. because he did not decide to have the senate vote on it as a treaty, he did it by executive action. if you look at the things president obama did under executive action, president trump has been able to dismantle those quite easily. one exception is obamacare. obamacare was passed by congress a
