i echo what senator menendez just said about venezuela, we buy $32 billion of oil a year. we haven't affected their regime one iota, that i can see. i have three concerns about what we're talking about today with regard to our changing our relationship with cuba. one is their continued support of terrorism. two is their human rights record that continues today. and, three, their activity in armed smuggling. we'll get to those in a second i have a very short question i hope you'll be brief. 2003, cuba allowed iran to operate on their soil, we know about the attack on u.s. telecommunications. cuba's reported to have supplied intelligence services to venezuela recently in its allies. cuba provided assistance in safe haven to terrorists including members of farc and the bask eta. they continue to harbor fugitive including one listed on the fbi's most wanted terrorist list. helping member of hezbollah slip into north america. a cuban state owned enterprise provided venezuela with advanced tennell used to provide illicit documentation to 173 individuals from the middle east betw

the corker-menendez bill is truly bipartisan. it passed the foreign relations committee on which i'm proud to serve unanimously. i want to thank chairman corker and ranking member cardin for their leadership and all their hard work to find a compromise solution. this is a solid bill that gives congress the opportunity to review a final agreement to hold hearings and to ask tough questions and it creates an orderly method for congress to approve or disapprove of any final agreement providing more than enough time for both. the administration still has work to do and needs time to do it. i believe the framework agreement has promise to stop iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon to protect israel and prevent a new war in the middle east. and it would take longer for iran to secure nuclear materials needed to make a bomb. as a result, the u.s. and its allies would have much more time to respond if iran attempted to break out and build a nuclear weapon. this is not speculation. this is not wishful thinking. energy secretary monise and

recent cases of political prosecutions on corruption whether that is mcdonnell in virginia senator menendezin new jersey, or the case in oregon with the governor and his resignation, i contend that from what we know now, the fact pattern with the clintons is far more troubling and developed than in any of those cases. i inc. this warrants investigation by either the fbi a federal prosecutor, or by a congressional committee with subpoena power. you need to look at communication, have people under oath, and ask serious questions about the flow of funds and the decisions she made as secretary of state and how they benefit those who were giving her family money. host: california, democrat. caller: good morning. i have one question. please, not a short answer. do not answer this shortly. i want an explanation. would you show as much enthusiasm if you are writing about the koch brothers? thank you. guest: i focused my research on elected public officials. i think that private citizens -- we can have a rigorous debate about the role of money in politics, about if there is too much or whether there

have in this case, in this book and you compare that to cases whether it is in virginia or senator menendez in new jersey or the senator in oregon it is far more compelling. that is why this information is crying out for attention. i am encouraged because news outlets are pursuing this story and get the structure of what has been going on, they see how the system works that the clinton's setup for self-enrichment and i think we will continue to see stories on this. then it is a question of political courage whether that is people at the department of justice or people on capital hill with subpoena power or a u.s. prosecutor somewhere to have the courage to take on a very powerful political machine that very aggressively goes after people that question practices. there is no question it will take courage. i am an optimist by nature and that is how we have to approach this thing. >> eugene calling from jackson michigan on the democrat line. you are on with peter schweizer "clinton cash" is the name of the book. >> caller: yes "clinton cash," to me is what your guest is made a living from. the
