state department chords in a very very raw new claim for mentation mr blank it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for finding time for us thank you now i'm sure you are greatly disappointed by president terms decision to walk walk away from the. but hopefully there is still some room for damage control how much of it do you believe can still be salvaged well i suppose you can call damage control there from the u.s. perspective no good outcomes here one possibility is that the path that we're currently on the successful and that's that immediately after president trumps announcement president rouhani said ok we're going to stay in the deal for a little while and give time for the other participants mainly the three european countries to see what they can offer us to make it worth our while to stay in long term that could succeed it would be good from the perspective that would keep her on the nuclear program under control and under inspection but it would leave the united states very isolated and europe for the position to confront other problematic iranian policies alternative

to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own console and yet mr blank you suggested before that in the event of troops pull out your of will likely side with the united states even if it blames the current administrate. for ruining this deal and if it does i think the european leaders will essentially have to accept that their level of credibility is the same as trump is that they are moral equals and i personally don't think there's much trouble on that side as far as the u.k. is concerned but when it comes to germany when it comes to france do you think they can afford it from a moral point of view do you think chancellor merkel for one can bring herself to be seen as standing shoulder to shoulder with trump and that well first of all i think that's a little bit unfair trump is the trump is the actor he is the decision maker in this terrible decision the european leaders are now stuck with a series of very uncomfortable dilemmas that they will need to resolve but but they're not the ones who created this disaster what i route though is that if iran we

a state department coordinator for ironically implementation mr blank just before the break we talked about the european reaction to trump's decision and let me ask you a few questions about russia as you may imagine many people in moscow very very skeptical of all these speculations about trump's supposed collusion with the kremlin but given the where we are with the reigning nuclear issue trumps rebuke of both the american obligations and to your european allies don't you wish moscow had some leverage some broke poor with they said ministration well issue. on the collision question i'll just say. we don't know whether or not laws what specific laws might have been violated in the united states we don't know what president trump himself knew what is out in the public who obviously demonstrates that the trump can play in colluded with russian actors in a way that is deeply disturbing for for america i don't want to make you have this discussion about the russian collision but what is out in the public at this point of time is the indictment of thirteen russian nationals who tried to d

from that and try to find ways to prevent an escalation which would be dangerous for all of us well mr blank i can certainly agree to that that we have to leave it there i really appreciate your sharing your perspective with us today and our viewers can keep this conversation going in our social media pages as for me hope to see you again same place same time here and we'll to part of. our. survival guide book stacie just to start with. research. good luck repatriations look at the rest of seventy years. still of the seventy year treasury for. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in. theory dramatic is probably the only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very creative. use it. it is reported the man who carried out the stabbing in paris on saturday was on a security forces watch list for his extremist views he was shot and killed by police after killing one person and injuring several others. came down this road. holding a knife. among stories that shaped the week european leaders refused to toe washington's line a

and i'll just say it point-blank, mr. president. if somebody wants to take away the right of women in america to see the doctors and the providers of their choice, they're going to have to run over me, and i'll tell you, i think women are going to win that fight. to have women lose access to lifesaving services like cancer screenings, routine physicals, birth control, prenatal care, and so much more -- that would be -- that ought to be off the table to politics. it shouldn't be about democrats and republicans. it should be about commonsense approaches to ensure that women have all of the options about the health care they want and reserve. -- and deserve. taking health care choices away from women is fundamentally wrong. depriving women of essential health care information that they have every right to hear about is fundamentally wrong. the trump administration putting itself between women and their doctors is fundamentally wrong. the decision that came down last night, that we learned about last night, is a reckless one; it is a ha

mr. mayor, i want to just ask point blank. will the president sit down with robert mueller even if the white house legal team or you, anybody on his legal team doesn't get a briefing about this confidential source? >> well, if he wasn't thinking about it and it wasn't an active possibility, we'd be finished with that by now and would have moved on to getting the investigation over with another way, but he -- he is adamant in wanting to do it. >> he the president. >> we the -- the president, but we're more convinced as we see it that this is a rigged investigation. i'm not saying mueller is illegitimate. i'm saying the basis on which he was appointed is illegitimate. let's look at -- >> so you think that the mueller probe is legitimate. >> not anymore. >> how are you so sure that there was no collusion with anybody in the campaign? we don't know exactly where robert mueller and his team are right now. do you know something we don't? >> yeah, i know 50 years of investigatory experience tells me they don't have a darn thing becau

mr. speaker. instead of writing blank checks to the pentagon, congress needs to live up to its constitutional obligation to debate matters of war and peace. yesterday, i offered an amendment to sunset the 2001 and 2002 authorization to use military force after eight months of enactment. congress would have eight months to debate and vote on a new aumf before the repeal. eight months. that's plenty of time. mr. speaker, we passed the 2001 aumf within three days, mind you. last year, of course, speaker ryan -- and i say at the orders of donald trump -- undemocratically stripped our bipartisan 2001 sunset amendment when the defense appropriations bill came before us. when in the world would this body have the backbone to debate the cost and consequences of these wars our brave -- consequences of these wars? our brave troops deserve better. we need to do our job. i'm pleased, though, some of my amendments and others passed last night which are very important amendments. they include clarifying that nothing in this bill can be construed as authorizing force against north korea. that's the use of military for

mrs may managed to keep everyone on board? the clarity is there that she cannot have a blank cheque. we need to have a parliamentary vote.ink the eu uk agreement is the only way to protect jobs. we are not protecting theresa may'sjob, we're protecting jobs throughout the country. she has failed to come up with a workable solution in northern ireland. it would put the good friday agreement at risk. it should be a key point because that border is massively important, peace in northern ireland is massively important. the solution she is suggesting now has been called everything from cretin is too magical thinking from russells. it will not work, she has to go back to the drawing board. thank you. we're waiting for sajid javid to get to his feet. you may see him shortly. 0ne his feet. you may see him shortly. one thing his feet. you may see him shortly. 0ne thingi his feet. you may see him shortly. one thing i noticed, i don't know if you were watching, a amber rudd was looking pretty good after the battering in recent days. this suggests that once you out of the horrors of the home office, you tend to feel a lot better. man

blank after that. >> despite his rather lengthy history of giving depositions, mr. trump, one of his -- >> lengthy in every way. >> one of his aides told me once who was against sitting down for the interview, said that if he sat down for one of these in 30 seconds he'd perjure himself twice. he would not be able to stick to the facts. he would not show any discipline even in that setting. >> i have a question. rudy said something on sunday that i just kind of befuddled me. he essentially said that it is impossible for someone to go through a testimony under oath and not perjure himself or herself, that there are just a myriad of different ways you can be tripped up on technicalities. does he have a point? >> trump lawyer rudy giuliani believes very different things than u.s. attorney rudy giuliani believed. that's absolutely untrue. he knows it. this is special concern because the president of the united states has a demonstrated history of having trouble with the truth. bill clinton sat down and met with the special prosecutor and he ran into a host of problems in

that have been blanked out, have been things that are embarrassing to the fbi and the department of justice under barack obama. this has to stop right now. i don't know what's driving mrrosenstein, except he is a classic at career man. he believes that nobody in the department of justice canada do -- no one there can do wrong. that of course is an absurd way to run a monster agency. with the fbi. >> sean: he is conflicted. he is witness number one why comey should have been fired. we know that he signed off on one of those subsequent applications, to spy on the trump campaign. >> not only that, but if the theory is correct, that when the president fired a james comey, he obstructed justice, then mr. rosenstein, who signs a memo, recommending the firing, is a coconspirator. so not only is he a witness, he's a coconspirator. >> sean: you know, i've been very disappointed in the attorney general, gregg jarrett. >> you should be. >> sean: i should be because he has a role here. this is about separation of power. equal branches of government. congress has constitutional oversight, and they are stonewalling and obstructing. how long can they get away with this? and why does

that have been blanked out, i have been things that are embarrassing to the fbi and the department of justice under barack obama. this has to stop right now. i don't know what is driving mrrosenstein, except that he is the classic careerist. he believes that nobody in the department of justice can do wrong. that of course is an absurd way to run a monster investigation i into the fbi. >> look how conflicted, is witness number one as to why james comey should have been fired. >> not only that, if the theory is correct, that when the president fired james comey, he obstructed justice, then,in mr. rosenstein, who signed a memo recommending the firing as a coast conspirator. so not only is he a witness, he's a coconspirator. >> sean: you know, i've been very disappointed in the attorney general, gregg jarrett. >> you should be.t >> while i should be, he has power here. it's about separation of powers, equal branches of government. and they are stonewalling and obstructing. how long can they get away with this and why doesn't he step up and say, enough, hand it over? >> when the people we trust to enforce the law start breaking the law, it's time to clean house.f and that mea

mr. ambassador, have you ever gotten the sense -- i ask this question because there's been at least two occasions i can remember off the top of my head where the president has been asked point blankif he has spoke ton kim jong-un and he's dodged the question bp this is not a president -- one of those -- strikes me as the kind of guy, if he talked to kim jong-un he would want to tell you they had the conversation and what they talked about. do you get the sense they have, perhaps, had conversations on the telephone? >> beats the heck out of me. i mean, when the president says something, it's not exactly something you can take to the bank. so, you know, it's possible he's had some indirect conversations. it seems there must be more than just the messages he's heard through the south koreans. so i wouldn't rule it out, but with this president, frankly speaking, who knows? i'm not even sure, and i think this is part of the problem of personalizing all of this. this is not going to be about chemistry where the two leaders meet together and kim jong-un says, i really like you, mr. president. we're going to give up our nuclear weapons now. these are deep-seeded issues that neat to be wo

for it and not just offer a blank check to this use our ation to military for their personal vehicles. on that, i urge everyone to vote yes on the amendment. time.d back my >> mr. scott? > mr. chairman, it's widely reported that secretary pompeo right now. korea i certainly don't expect him to anything other than a military aircraft with his detail into north korea. nd i guess, my question is, on things, ports and other the demands of these reports can ssentially get out of hand and expose where some of our people are traveling to, that we may where they arewn traveling to. so i understand the political that's being taken right now. and certainly i will tell you hat in every administration there, have been some abuses, but i have very serious concern this potentially exposing to locations like north orea, by senior executives, hat we need to be going to try to help bring peace. i'm opposed to the amendment. it's a cheap political shot with very serious consequences for the people of country. >> mr. -- >> thank you, mr. chairman. to mr. haller >> thank you. >> as indicated in my statement before, any required use of explicitly exempted from these reports. secre

blank. >> i think it is this subpoena for personall attendance but given the fact that it was not my motion i will go ahead and speak to it. >> thank you mr. chairman. tailback. m >> would the gentleman yield to me? with all due respect mr. chairman we have a number of members here. we would like to have her questions answered and to do delay this into table it in postponement makes absolute no sense. why are we asking questions when the witness has already told us he's not going to answer any of them? it seems like we should address the subpoena. it's ready to go. we talked about last week. it's not your fault that he is refusing to answer questions so it seems like it's very appropriate we should move forward with the subpoena so we can get answers to our questions. you know that the census is really the only, it's a requirement written right in the constitution that the executive branch must conducted every 10 years. it's a very serious i issue. it is the basis of our democracy, our representation. it makes the decision on the distribution of really over i would say $700 million in federal funds every year. a very criticalti issue. and

i've left some blank and didn't get a knock on the door saying why did you do such a terrible thing. i appreciate you being here and i yield back, mr. chair, i don't have a lot more. >> the gentleman would yield the remaining time? >> back to the chair. >> the gentleman from massachusetts to recognize. ... constitutional protection for the american people and your position here is hostile to the protection of the rights of the american people in my opinion. united states supreme court has held in multiple cases that any congressional committee which is engaged in a legitimatetive investigation need not grind to to a halt because of an ongoing litigation. or some distinct proceeding. so, this is round one. this is round one. i think the american people on this basis as well as others will demand full exercise of their rights to be protected by congress. is there any basis in law in which you believe you've been instructed that would prohibit you from participating in cooperating in this hearing? >> congressman, thank you for your question. -- public information. >> tell us then. again i'm going to repeat the question thaw dodged ear

mr. weinstein, as he did on his way into the the precinct about an hour and a half earlier, showed no emotion had a blank expression, on his face, but you made the key point the big difference on his way out compared to own his way in is she was in handcuffs hands behind his back two nypd detectives flanking him into a black suv for the driver over to the center street courthouse here in new york while he'll be arraigned today on serious charges. mr. weinstein allegation as against him really began what we now call the me too movement in this country allegations from dozens and dozens of different women but the charmings today involve two women from what e we've been told by the new york city police department mr. weinstein will face charges of rape, with criminal sex act, sex abusing and sexual misconduct in incidents involving two separate women. so the next step in the next few moments probably ten to 15 minutes he'll be arraigned at the courthouse. and then the legal process will take shape and remember these are first charpgs for all of the talk and allegations that mr. weinstein has faced and we've
