mark: karen finney is a veteran clinton spokesperson.lmost everything out of her mouth of one of these clinton classic counterattacks. the question is, will this playbook, will the elements of the clinton playbook work? john: there was a moment that i, listening to her, thought that i just walked out of a scene of jerry maguire and i was in like 1996. i think they are very good. there's a reason they go back to those again and again and it is because they have worked. there is no political family that has been in more trouble and yet it is a new age. when there are genuine substantive problems to confront, people may be tired of that in the resume from the 90's may not work for her. mark: if you're a citizen of america, a republican or a journalist take a photo of that thing, because you will hear those things over and over again. attacking the opponents, questioning their motives saying mayoral stories, questioning the timing of something, say it is an old story discredited charges. my favorite is, don't stop thinking about it tomorrow

karen finney is an old clinton hand and new clinton hands can watch this video and see how they do it in clinton land. i think we're in a different era now, not just because of social media, but because hillary clinton is not the political performer her husband is. john: the white house is trying to get this iran nuclear deal done. we asked, will a deal with iran make the world safer? 70% of democrats said they were optimistic with only 24% saying they were pessimistic. on the republican side, the opposite. the second question, should the u.s. support israel even when they diverge from america? two thirds of republicans say yes and two thirds of democrats say no. mark, my question is, we know there is a polarized america, is this just a typical thing or is there something deeper and more significant going on in these numbers? mark: i think it is deeper and more significant. first of all, the size of the splits. massive difference. but it is the nature of the questions. the republicans basically saying they side with the prime minister of israel over our own president is amazing to me.
