if mr. pai says he believes in real net neutrality, the markey resolution gives him a chance to actually show that. but we all know that he doesn't see it that way. now, mr. president, i just had opened all town hall meetings in oregon, most of them in rural communities. and i'm telling you, i know the distinguished president of the senate represents a lot of rural terrain, people in those rural areas understand what's at stake for rural america. for rural america, without the march did i resolution, it meany resolution, it means the net moves along at a snail's pace. it means rural businesses could have a harder time getting off the ground and reaching customers. i talked to ranchers, for example, about just this issue. it means rural health care could miss out on technological marvels that have the potential to save lives. this is particularly important because senator markey and i have teamed up on a lot of the efforts to improve american health care. we have led the fight to show that we're

your dollars have to go to furthering your business, not paying to deliver it. mr. president, nevada's economic growth depends on the small business owners like katie who invest in our communities. and that's why we can't afford to repeal net neutrality. chairman pai's misguided decision to repeal net neutrality protections threatens to change the internet as we know it. it threatens our small businesses, access to online education, job growth, and innovation by giving those who can afford to pay more the ability to set their own rules. nevada's small businesses, local hospitals, public libraries, and disadvantaged communities among many others will bear the burden and become subject to the whims of broadband providers who now have the ability to elevate their own content and pick and choose which websites nevadans can have access to. the f.c.c. has a long-standing responsibility of protecting american consumers and the public interest. so while chairman pai refuses properly to do his job, i urge my colleagues to vote in support of the c.r.a. and stand with all ameri

mr. rouhani. would under pay to release the iranian detain knees as well. he talks about the fact that he wants european business, least key do to return all of the people that his country, mr. rouhani's country also? >> brennan: a number of our european allies, you know, you've had difficult conversations have been frustrated that the u.s. cut short the diplomacy. they said in conversation with you last friday assured them that they had -- they were close to this deal to address things president trump was worried about. why not try it? why not finish that. why did the president cut that off? >> we did try. the president set out a set of objectives, tasked me in my first couple weeks to work to do it. the work had been ongoing. in no time were we able to reach agreement. the europeans wouldn't help. they had some 90 days 20 do so. to work at it. and you should know we will continue to work, president trump and president macron we want a deal that is right, we will be hard at that in the weeks ahead. i hope to be central part, it would be wonderful thing if w

in history when we are completely that was my compare their earlier a senior policy adviser to mr frum pay at the u.s. state department brian hook spoke to our washington bureau chief alexander phenomena here's more so mr huq the announcements today and the sanctions do you really believe that stay can bring about that change a you expect from iran well it certainly will bring about more change than we've had under the j c.p.o. way since adoption of the iran nuclear deal iran has actually increased its destabilizing behavior across the middle east and it also has not deterred iran's intent to acquire a nuclear weapon and so we're putting in place a new security architecture that we think is going to actually achieve our national security objectives not just for the united states but for the world. however many experts are skeptical saying that you are telling huron to stop being iran and its rival on the other on the realistic that the iran iranian regime is going to comply with these demands so are they on realistic well if they want if iran wants to be treated like a normal nation it has

what mr. pai and his allies -- and he's the head of the federal communications commission -- want is something very different. and under their vision of how things would work online, there would be tollbooths all over the internet, and those higher costs would in one way or another come out of your pocket, and that would sure work a hardship on millions of americans -- on millions literally, but especially small businesses and seniors and students, but everybody would be affected by that new approach that would establish tollbooths all over the internet. so my view is, mr. president, there is no vote that this body is going to take in 2018 that will have a more direct impact on the wallets of americans than the one that is going to happen in a few hours. this is the last chance to protect the free and open internet that comes about with real net neutrality. and the fact is if we don't do it, the trump federal communications commission and chairman pai wants to turn the lights out on that system i

but remember this stuff when mr. pai's rules exist and the internet does not cease to exist.uest: the numbers are looking pretty rough in the house. they have 160 cosponsors for the house version of this resolution right now. 218 votesse, you need to force one on the floor. so they still need to gather several different other democrats to back this measure. additionally, a couple dozen republicans. it seems like a very difficult thing to do but they also have more time. in the senate, they can only force this vote through june 12. in the house, they have until the end of the year. they can talk about this for months leading up to the midterms, rally for support and say this is critical for consumers internet experience, and they could also from republicans as people who are just in the clutches of big .elecom at the end of the day, they have sold out your internet experience. that will probably be the line you here. the campaign offices know that. the senate democratic campaign arm have a six-figure of by right now focusing on net neutrality. they are looking at november. hos

therefore, the united states officially announced tonight that it pays no attention to international commitments, mr. trump voiced his position concerning the issue of climate change and he pulled out of the climate deal. and there were other agreements such as trade agreements, he also pulled out from the -- those trade agreements as well. so, there's precedence to this. d there's background in this connection. our people just a few minutes ago witnessed that the only regime that supported trump's standpoint was the illegitimate zionist regime, the very regime hat martyred our nuclear cientists, the reregime -- regime that -- the very regime that is perpetrating atrocities and crimes against the people of the region. and perpetrates crimes against the people of palestine. jcpoa, the ment jcpoa exists between iran and ive countries. in fact from this moment, 5-plus-1 has lost one of its members. n such a condition we should see for the countries to at they are going to do in connection with this nuclear deal. i have ordered the faddy ministry -- fahdi ministry to halt negotiations with european coun

however, it is known mr cohen did pay $130,000 to an adult film actress, stephanie clifford, also knownan affairwith mrtrump. kim gittleson in new york. how significant is the detail of this particular payment? well it's buried on page 45 of this 90 page disclosure form, and as with these sorts of things, it raises more questions than it answers. while president trump has said in his disclosure, is it necessary for him to report the payment they're doing so to report the payment they're doing so anyway. and an accompanying letter by the united states office of government basically saying that that payment should've been included last year when he filed his financial disclosure forms. so there could've been some sort of, they say that he should've piloted as a liability, and as result that's why this footnote is included in the in the 2017 disclosure. what else we learned about this disclosure? the 2017 disclosure. what else we learned about this disclosure ?m quite a bit in here, i've been reading each and every one of these pages try to figure out what's interesting. so the squatted at

the president was paying mr. cohen $35,000 a month in retainer to cover anything that might come up. he writes a check to this woman to sort of get it behind them. rudy guliani was on here earlier to say that there was no acknowledgements of wrong doing or there was any real relationship here, a one night stand, any of the above. this is the kind of thing that those that are successful deal with. does that make sense to you and the president wouldn't know the details? >> well, you know, this is the iss issue. the average american will say what is it like to have someone that thanks care of things for you? that's possible what cohen is supposed to do. how does that play to your average american that says i don't have somebody in my life like that. if i have that kind of money, i know what's going on. that's what the president and his team deal with. regardless of the legal issue, they have to deal with that narrative and how do they explain that to the american people as they look ahead to 2020 and even 2018. >> d

mr. mueller should pay attention, the decision should not be taken lightly.e nearly unanimous opinions of former department officials, this is the last paragraph. way the director handle the conclusion of the e-mail investigation was wrong. as a result, the fbi's unlikely to regain public and congressional trust, until it has a director who understands the gravity of the mistakes and pledges never to repeat them. having refused to admit errors, the director cannot be expected to implement the necessary actions. here's my question, is mr. mueller unaware of this, one of the questions is how was comey fired? is he helen keller? number two, why is mr. rosenstein involved in any of this, given his role in firing comey? >> the deputy attorney general has a clear conflict of interest. not only because they're personal friendsing are all of the people together, mueller, comey, rosenstein, they're all friends. but he wrote the memorandum recommending comey is fired. he is a witness that mule ser investigating. beyond that, it doesn't matter what the president did. th

mr. mum the there's essentially a pay-to-play situation going on here with mr. cohen. it happens in washington and it is a problem for our democracy that maybe we need to think about. the second piece is what does this have to do with respect to criminal liability. mr. trump at this point is in one hot mess with all these people that are so close to him. his own lawyer having relationships, financial relationships with people or entiti entities. the question is rather not whether there's something here but what and what is going to happen to it. it's important to know as we did in the introduction and you say that's how things are done in washington, right? that's why it's called the swamp. and there were other companies linked to cohen. why were they give being them money. >> novartis had issued a statement earlier today and we've learned from a -- "no vart it's and since the new administration wasn't using tra did al chans of nol inging a. >> and they they say the agreement ended around -- it r sar. is when the agreement ended, as atoday in your estimate, is it a con
