what is your view of susan rice serving as the nation's top security advisor at the white house? >> a lot of it depends on the current national security advisor deciding if he wants to leave government service to spend more time with his family or whatever the excuse is when he leaves. that's been the speculation when susan rice clearly blew up after the five sunday morning talk shows or her candidacy for secretary of state blew up. perhaps that speculation is rise together service again. i think she's been an influential advisor to president obama in the first term and would be in a second term no matter what her position is. i think she's been more involved in advising and formulating the president's policy than hillary clinton was in the first term and probably will be in the second term, too. >> and how do you think she'll do? >> well, i think she will reinforce all of the president's ideological biases toward the comfort level with the reduced american presence around the world. i think the obama administration policy will leave us in a materially more dangerous place when h

that is what is holding susan rice. >> kimberly: you think she is qualified add good choice?enough about it. the ambassador of the u.n. and not be canvassed have request qualified. >> president obama made that a cabinet position so she has a seat at that table. the other part of this job is congressional relations. condi rice was president bush's first security advisor and steve had ley. i remember he would tell me what i needed to know. the questions in the briefing room at the time were 90% foreign policy related. one of the most important roles was congressional relations, calling up congress and keeping them informed even things that weren't supposed to be public yet. she had had some of the worst congressional relations of anyone that i have seen. she has some repair work. i have no doubt the president has full confidence in her because he had to say saw because when she was up important secretary of state. >> do you feel she would be a good choice, a good fit for this position what you have told us. >> dana: i think the president needs somebody he can trust and he trust

ambassador susan rice. ambassador, congratulations, because it was a lot of behind the scenes negotiations that got china on board, and i know you were leading the way. >> thank you, andrea. >> this is a major step for the u.s. it's the fourth sanctions resolution against north korea. it doesn't seem to be having any impact on pyongyang. what do we do next? >> well, andrea, first of all, today's resolution was an important step because it will not only raise the cost to nokt's leaders of pursuing their illegal nuclear missile programs, but it will also make it much harder for them to continue those programs effectively because it's going to constrain their finances. it's going to constrain their ability to procure the kinds of technical materials that they need and the technology that they need to advance those programs. it's going to set those programs back, and the next steps include strong implementation in coordination with china and the other countries who joined in passing this resolution unanimously,

susan rice as national security adviser., quote, far and away the person to replace thomas c. donlon when he leaves that appointment later this year. what do you think? is this going to be rice's next stop, a.b.? >> i would not be surprised if this is true, because president obama is very fond of her, believes very strongly in the job that she has done as u.n. ambassador, and i think the whole chapter with secretary of state, although there are reports john kerry was always his top choice, was really an unfortunate one for the president and people he's close to like susan rice, and it was a tough go for her. it would not surprise me if she was being readied for this position. it's not going to require senate confirmation. she won't have to be put through the wringer on capitol hill from her republican critics, but that's not going to stop the end of the debate over whether or not the administration has been forthcoming enough on benghazi, whether or not republicans with questions and democrats as well are being given them, a

at least according to ambassador susan rice after a fresh round of u.n.ions. >> taken together, these sanctions will bite and bite hard. >> reporter: but will north korea bear the teeth marks of the bite? the most prominent think tanks in the country, the success of the sanctions are still conditional depending more on china's participation than anything else. >> this was always an isolated country and the reason why they managed to survive is because they get their fuel and food, a lot of it, from the chinese and the chinese let that continue to go and we have no sign at all they've ever held it up to pressure them in any way. >> there have been reports that their interpretation of what the sanctions require has been, shall we say, not strict constructionist but rather loose. >> reporter: experts agree china is pivotal because the country not only borders north korea to its north but screens its cargo, knows about its financial distractions and pyongyang gets 95% of its exports. they have shown no desire to fully enforce u.n. sanctions. >> it's quite cle

look how far we've come from what the story was told by susan rice.found out by pushing on this show and other shows, cbs and mainly fox, the whole scenario told by the president and susan rice absolutely collapsed. >> why hasn't the house leadership-- >> i have no idea. >> greta: why the republican house leadership hasn't been-- >> to my house colleagues, please, for god's sake step up your game. you have tools i don't because i'm in the the minority party in the senate. and harry reid to push the administration look what we did on iraq and interrogation techniques gone back to the bush administration. the democrats senators have given the president a pass. the house cannot give him a pass. are you going to push for speaker boehner for subpoenas. >> i think that speaker boehner, i will urge him for the power of the house, not to chase rabbits, but to get to the bottom line. we have not heard from the people who went through this debacle on the ground. if this had been a good news story we would have heard from them the next day. the fact we haven't h

what have they done for us really since then a number two is susan rice nomination, when susan rice wasnominated for secretary of state for whole black political class closed ranks around her as if she was some kind of martyr or as susan rice the undersecretary of african affairs in the clinton administration. she was a lobbyist for ethiopians and rwandans and our policy has been to give military aid to every country in africa. we have completely militarized our africa policy. we give military aid to every country on the continent except -- in libya and it's the only place where our foreign policy is totally integrated with our diplomacy. that is what africom is and all the wars there in the congo, six or 7 million people have died since the mid-90s and susan rice had been -- in blood. >> host: all right bruce, lot on the table there. randall robinson. >> guest: let me be brief about susan rice. i have been troubled by those associations that you have described. i don't know the extent of which the black political class has closed ranks or did close ranks around her. i have been out of

senators get the information on what happened in benghazi including who changed the talking points susan riceed on the sunday morning shows so we can be sure no americans are harmed again by the talking points. >> whatever was said based on information provided by the intelligence community on a series of sunday shows bears no relevance on the ultimate questions of what happened in benghazi. there's an obvious political obsession over a series of talk points that again bears no relevance on the essential issues here. >> just a lot of pauses. very quickly. they are not important. they are not relevant. they are not germane. you can't have them anyway but lately there's an interesting twist. some democrats apparently deciding -- democrats deciding that what is -- what is the phrase i'm looking for? >> what is sauce for the goose is now sauce for the gander. >> jon: no, no, that's not it. i'm thinking of the other poultry based expression. >> keep (bleep) that chicken. >> jon: keep (bleep) that chicken. that's the one.

we'll see ha happens with susan rice. i mean he is going to be surrounding himself with a close counsel of people who know what they're doing. >> rick, i guess the question is, does he need, does he need a measurably different foreign policy strategy on afghanistan? there is at this point so little public support for getting engaged any further, staying any longer. does this not need to just be a political decision at this point? >> probably so. i mean this, you begin to wonder when our country is going to learn that is a mug's game to go and try to run afghanistan. you know, the british learned it, the russians learned it, now we've learned it. the countries that are closest to afghanistan, like china and india, they know well enough to keep out. there's no good way out of this. and i think that the president has reconciled himself to that. and getting out is one way or the other, is a priority. and it's not going to be pretty, no matter what he does. >> and that increasingly seems to be sort of the position. which is th

. >> un ambassador susan rice after north korea's nuclear test last month and a rocket launched in december, the security council voted to impose new sanctions to make it more difficult for north korea to finance its weapons programs. it also targets the sale of luxury goods to the countries leadership, yachts and racing cars and stuff. while the rest of the population goes hungry, with korea is threatening a nuclear attack against the united states and is also saying, colby, that the armistice is kaput. >> they don't have the capacity to do anything against the united states with nuclear- weaponss. hugo chavez died this week. he was more of a nuisance than a threat. north korea is a nuisance but more of a slight thread because of a nuclear-weapons. this is bombast coming out of them. china was signing on to the sanctions. the chinese are upset with what the north koreans are doing because it threatens to upset the nuclear-weapons shield in that part of the world. that threat may be more contained, unlike iran, for example. nobody is working that way on iran the way china is on north korea.
