>> suzanne: i'm hisitant to go too far into the system. what we've seen since 2013 is a more consolidated system than at any point since the '79 revolution, and that should ask in many ways a cautionary tale because we all looks in 2009 after the epic unrest in the wake of the contested reelection so this regime can't possibly survive. it's lost all legitimacy, and within if you years four years, what happened is the closing of the ranks recognizing iran was in a state of real crisis. i think surely those who advocate i diplomacy, and those who are interested in reviving the prospects of the negotiated outcome have their work cut out for them under the current circumstances, but in many ways i'm not terribly concerned about the divisions within the system itself. i think the bigger divisions are the divisions between the population at large, and the political establishment. can. >> host: jim, so help us understand over the past six, seven months what the impact of this withdrawal from the jcpoa has been in terms of iran's behavior in the r

. >> suzanne, what's your sense? >> a quick -- i agree with everything that mike has said, but i want to amplify it in a couple of places. in terms of the forecast of where things go, under the current circumstances, i think the likelihood is that there will be additional supplies -- energy supplies that come on to the market in the spring that enables the trump administration to push for even more significant reductions to iran's oil exports. that will in some places conceivably exacerbate some of the frictions with allies and partners around the world. it will certainly result in higher degree of economic pressure for iran, and so i see additional vulnerabilities in addition to the ones that mike has suggested. one is that you have an already -- historically paranoid leadership feeling the pinch even more than ever. both across the world, but certainly at home as well. and they will be looking to arrest as we have seen over the course of the past few months environmentalists, civil society activists, journalists, e

spaulding you get both of those categories on steroids suzanne spaulding is trying to compensate for her failures at the deploy. of homeland security by drumming up new fears about rochelle r.t. and my program in particular america's lower she earns her money this is what's so interesting she earns her money is this failed state cyber security expert who advises corporations and governments more about fear secret the more fear she creates the more money she gets what's really interesting about this about this spaulding's woman is she gets all of her salary from corporate america you understand she goes around the country giving these speeches about cites a lot about shows like america's lawyer where we attack corporations when they do wrong god forbid we actually talked about fracking we actually talked about about wall street's feeling trillions of dollars from mom and pop investors we talked about the idea of big pharma price gouging and selling drugs that were killing people that's not what spalding and her crew like they ate that she comes from this thing called the c s i see gro

policy. >> suzanne, what's your wild card? >> i think the most obvious wild card is that the houthis at some point shoot off a missile that actually hits something and kills some civilians, some conceivably, given the populations of the target sites, conceivably expatriots, including westerners, americans or others that essentially precipitates some kind of u.s. nuclear response. i think that's a wild card. but the longer this crisis goes on, the longer this war goes on, it seems almost inevitable. i was going to give a sort of up side, although i don't think it's a clear card that gives unrest to the leadership of the republic. we are at a stage where succession, only for the second time in the state's history, is a short-term or inevitability. we have reason to believe from 2009 and other episodes that while iran has massive levers of repression that it uses incredibly effectively to its advantage. it's not entirely clear if a massive nationwide civil d disobedience could be repressed, if they would be prepared to fire on la

at least according to suzanne spaulding and harvey richelle wrote a recent piece for a lost their blog and which they explained quote help in works to weaken faith in the rule of law and our justice system so about how is putin and the evil russians are undermining our most sacred impure criminal justice system he said r t and sputnik were to me produce content that alleges corruption partisanship and fundamental unfairness of the justice system it seems that according to these experts the russian government is purposely trying to undermine american democracy by reporting on how americans are losing faith in american democracy what happened to educating informing letting people use their own minds to decide for themselves well that is what prominent trial lawyer might happen tonio does every week on his r.t. america show america's lawyer where exposes the untold truths of corporate and environmental legal cases and at least according to spalding and russia happen tony has hit show america's lawyer quote often weaves genuine concerns and buyable grievances in with misleading narratives

suzanne malveaux there on capitol hill. thank you very much. >>> president trump says that he has canceled his trip to florida so he could stay in washington to, quote, wait for democrats. cnn white house correspondent abby phillip joining us now. how long do we think he'll stay in washington? >> reporter: that's the most important question i think to president trump now, especially since i'm sure he's been looking forward to what would have been a 16-day vacation in florida. instead he's been here dealing with the government shutdown which essentially this week became very real when he decided he was not going to sign anything out of congress that did not have money for border security. now president trump spent the last day here at the white house. he's let others do the shuttling back and forth on capitol hill, trying to work out the deal. instead, what trump has been doing is trying to reframe and rebrand this government shutdown. just a week ago, he said he would take full credit for it. today, he's willing to caught i

dave and christine. >> suzanne malveaux, thank you. trade truce.onald trump and xi jinping will now hold off at raising tariffs. it will stay at 10%. in exchange, china is willing to purchase agriculture and energy and other goods from the u.s. to reduce the big trade imbalance. the two countries have 90 days to make progress. they are talking. talks had broken down before the g20 meeting. they are talking and negotiating. in a tweet sunday night, the president said china agreed to reduce tariffs on cars from the u.s. that tariff is currently 40%. the president did not say when the change would happen. in addition to a temporary truce with whichina, the president wi justin trudeau and outgoing mexican president nieto signed the usmca at the g20. the president now putting pressure on congress to approve or risk no trade deal in place. >> we get rid of nafta. it caused us tremendous amounts of unemployment and loss and company loss and everything else. that will be terminated. so congress will have a choice of the usmca or pre-nafta which worked very

it gets back to something else suzanne said. your very first question's about strategy. doesn't this seem like an odd mix? you're going to bro in negotiation, but you're going to supervise and continue the heaviest bombing in the history of mankind, 8 million tons of bombs? how do you reconcile those two things? it's because they could never give up the ghost. nixon and kissinger always kind of secretly hope that hanoi would bend the knee. kissinger said to nixon, this is a quote, that raggedy ass country, fourth-rate country, has a breaking point. contempt. and wrong. and so that's in the macro. there are lots of things that we need to do in peace agreements. the united states needs to get much, much better at being an honest broker and architect in peace agreements. hopefully, the u.s. institute of peace helps. kissinger can be a theorist, but i don't think we want him constructing that kind of a word with. i think we need -- world. i think we need a lot of the young people who are here today. stay in your majors, whatever they are, and work on these kind of issues, ri

let's check in with our suzanne malvo who is there on capitol hill. so he's really oversimplifying it because there was some bipartisan support, but then it was the president who rejected that plan, and now it's back to the drawing board. >> reporter: right, and fred, really the political calculus has dramatically changed here, and the whole argument is being framed very differently because as you mentioned before, it really was a fight. it had been set up earlier just as early as wednesday that there was legislation backed by the house, by the senate, republicans and democrats who said, yes, there was a budget deal that the president said he would go ahead and sign, that he would agree to. and so it would have been the president vetoing that legislation, the president versus the congress here shutting down the government. now what you find is that the republicans have pulled out of the process here. it is dramatically reframed as a battle, a battle which the president would welcome, him against just the democrats here because what they were able to d

suzanne, you just spoke with senator lankford. lawmakers are arriving. we saw what happened and didn't happen in the last hours of negotiation. what's happening now? what happens next? >> reporter: sure, victor. one of the things that he said is that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell of course is going to make a statement around noon or so when the senate reconvenes, and the hope is that they would have some sort of agreement deal by that time that he could announce and then call lawmakers back in and say you've got 24 hours to come up here and actually vote on this piece of explanation. -- explanatilegislation. if that doesn't happen by noon, this shutdown could last a lot longer. t it is far from certain. what happened yesterday was that you had the vice president, mike pence, as well as jared kushner, and mick mulvaney here. they were meeting with democrats, the democratic leadership, as well as the republican leadership to try to figure out what are these numbers that are acceptable for both sides and for the president more importantly. the pres

. >>> let's get to cnn's suzanne malveaux on capitol hill. what are you hearing?ere any progress on ending the shutdown? >> it's interesting. as we begin with the new year, there's old ideas that are being recast as new right now. you have senator lindsey graham emerging from a two-hour lunch with the president yesterday, essentially saying he's got this compromise, this new idea in exchange for the $5 billion for the president's border wall, allowing dreamers or daca recipients, those who came to the country legally through their parents as children, work permits to be renewed every three years as some sort of new type of idea. he said that the president thought it was an interesting one. but you might recall it was earlier this year, there was a grand bargain that was made between the democrats as well as the president, $25 billion for the border wall in exchange for some sort of path for citizenship for these same individuals. ultimately, that blew up. the president rejected that. and so we are where we are at this point with senator graham saying potentially t

. >> joining me now, cnn national correspondent suzanne malveaux in houston.lots of events in honor of america's 41st president. what does the week look like? >> fred, you actually mentioned about that presidential aircraft. it is at ellington field here in houston. it did arrive about an hour or so ago. that was the same aircraft that carried president trump to the g20 summit in argentine that. that's the same aircraft that will carry the casket, the body of president george h.w. bush. tomorrow morning it will fly to joint base andrews. then the official ceremonies will begin in earnest about 4:45 in the afternoon. that is where you're going to see at the u.s. capitol rotunda both house and senate members paying tribute. the public will be able to spend quite a bit of time paying their respects to the 41st president from 7:30 in the evening, tomorrow evening, to 8:45 in the morning on wednesday. then on wednesday later, about 11:00 is when you'll see the national cathedral remembrance involving friends and family of the president. then the president, the body

let's start with suzanne.alk us through the last hours of the negotiation, what we should expect today, and how people are reacting. >> reporter: good morning. sure, the lights are on here, but it's eerily quiet. what is going to schahappen is mostly behind the scenes. at noon we'll hear from majority leader mitch mcconnell, but we expect much of what is going to happen is behind the scenes, private negotiations between republicans as well as democrats over the phone, making calls, trying to figure out if there is a deal to be made here. most people have gone home. we are told that lawmakers will have 24 hours to be called back if it's necessary for a vote. but essentially they're going to be trying to work out something. last night, it was about 8:30 when folks essentially went home. that's after cornyn, the whip, said, look, we don't have the votes that are going to actually pass anything. and so what happened yesterday was that you had the vice president, mike pence, as well as omb director, mick mulvaney,

thanks so much, suzanne malveaux in houston. the 41st president of the united states died at his home in texas late friday with family members and dear friends at his side. his final day, even his final moments described as gentle and peaceful. those words from someone who was there. >> when i showed up at 7:00 in the morning, one of the aides who assisted him physically said, mr. president, secretary baker's here. and he opened both eyes, he looked at me and said, haey, bake, where are we going today? i said, well, we're going to heaven. he said, good, that's where i want to go. little did i know or did he know, of course, that by 10:00 that night he'd be in heaven. >> former secretary of state james baker, who said his best friend, president bush, often joked that he wanted to live to be 100. joining me right now from the bush home in houston, the president's son, neil bush. first of all, our condolences on the loss of your father. so many people, including yourself, are considering this a realtime of celebration for your dad'

cnn's suzanne malveaux has more about it. >> reporter: president george w.ush often jokes calling president bill clinton a brother from another mother but also with his father as well. it was a bitter fight back in 1992 and essentially it was bush sr. who called president clinton at the timing during that race a bozo. it was also his son later who would publicly criticize clinton saying that he would usher in a new era into the white house, one with integrity, that being a reference to bill clinton's scandal and impeachment that actually had haunted him and so they were very critical of him, but then something happened, something changed and that was george w. bush's victory in 2000, that controversial victory. just days afterwards he reached out to president bill clinton. the two of them had a lunch, 90 minutes or so, in washington. they both ate a bit of humble pie, we are told, and buried the hatchett and then it just grew from there. one of the key things that happened is he asked and tasked both president clinton and his father to try to come up with in

suzanne did john bolton national security advisor? >> he told npr news he was advanced in advance and given a heads up that the arrest would be taking place. not sure if that took place if they had heads up on buenos aires on saturday but he didn't tell the regs of the trump administration and president didn't know or was not given advance notice of this arrest. >> so bearing that in mind, there's a separation between the trump team and the arrest and the actual arrest in canada. the two separate events here. that dinner and the arrest. separate. >> that's right. there is a no way -- i can imagine if they didn't know before the dinner that that was -- any culmination between the two. canadian prime minister trudeau given a few issues and justice department issues and nothing to do with diplomacy. >> china see it is as negotiating tactic is this to maybe shave down huawei influence in 5g implementation as part of the future. >> the confrontation on trade talks. by the way trump tweeting about this china this morning. i'll tell you now

suzanne malveaux on the hill, thank you so much. so the president is staying in washington to deal with the shutdown while his wife melania and son baron are at mar-a-lago already for the holidays. let's check in with cnn white house correspondent abby phillips. what is the president's mindset as best as you or anybody else can tell? >> fred, this is the shutdown we have been anticipating. president trump precipated this earlier in the week when he rejected what the senate originally passed which included funding the government but no border security. now we're in a position the white house is desperately trying to facilitate negotiations between democrats and republicans, between the house and the senate, and the president himself. there's as of yet no indication of what exactly president trump would accept, if not the $5 billion that he originally called for. if that figure will be less than that, what's the tresh hohresho move forward. that's one of the things holding up the negotiations. president trump is also fixated on the bl

cnn's suzanne malveaux has details. >> reporter: it is being called special air mission 41, the mission to deliver the body, the casket of president george h.w. bush to his final resting place. the presidential aircraft is now in ellington field. this is the presidential aircraft that carried president trump to the g20 summit in argentina. it is the same aircraft that will carry the body of president bush from here to joint base andrews. the formal ceremonies beginning around 4:45. the capital rotunda where bush will lie in state, it will be 7:30 monday evening through 8:45 wednesday morning. the public will be able to pay their respects. 11:00, a memorial service at the national cathedral where friends, family and dignitaries will gather as well. and then wednesday evening, the president's body to return here to texas where he will lie in repose until thursday morning. and then a second memorial service at st. martin's episcopal church, this is the same church that barbara bush was memorialized. a brief trip by train, and then on to college station, texas, where the president will be b

suzanne thank you very much. joining me now, john avlon and republican consultant and host of firing line on pbs, margaret hoover. thanks to both of you. happy holidays. we'll get to who is minding the kids while you both are on television, but first, let's talk about the shutdown. i'm going to ask you both, and i'm going to give margaret the honors, john. map me a way out of this, because it strikes me that both democrats and the president are digging their heels in here. and both have made a judgment that they don't have a lot to gain and they do have a lot to lose with compromise. so what's the way out? >> well, i think there is a way out. and i'm very optimistic and glass half full when it comes to immigration policy. that defies our entire history for the last three administrations. but you can imagine, democrats are going to come in and they want to come in as the saviors. they want to come in, and they're going to fix trump's shutdown. they want to fix trump's shutdown, somebody's got to compromise. what t

. >> cnn's suzanne malveaux is on capitol hill covering the lack of activity there. it doesn't appear a deal is anywhere in the making any time soon. >> reporter: ryan, the halls here are eerily quiet. you can barely find anybody. it really is more in an official capacity that they will convene at 4:00. there are no votes scheduled, no sign of lawmakers returning to town. we're told negotiations are pretty much at a standstill. we've heard from the president as well as some of his surrogates. representative mark meadows saying the president is very firm on that $5 billion figure for his border wall. we've also heard from the democratic leaders, nancy pelosi, chuck schumer in a statement saying they are confused, they really don't know what the president would accept. they're getting all kind of different messages from this administration. nancy pelosi, very likely the incoming house speaker, said she will introduce legislation january 3rd when they come back in session to get the government going again, but it's far from clear that senate majority leader mitch mcconn

suzanne malveaux on capitol hill for us. we look forward to what happens at noon. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> and president trump says he cancelled his trip to florida to stay in washington to, quote, wait for the democrats. let's bring in cnn white house correspondent abby phillips, joining us with what you're hearing on your end. >> reporter: well, the president is here at the white house apparently waiting while others negotiate on his behalf. his son-in-law, jared kushner, vice president mike pence and mick mulvaney soon to be acting chief of staff, office of management and budget have been working to get something negotiated that would bring an end to the shutdown. as suzanne laid out there, the realistici real sticking point is what will president trump accept. can anyone trust that he will stick by his side. president trump has not been clear about what the compromise level of border security is sufficient for him. he pushed republicans to pass $5 billion, but that figure is viewed as nonstarter in the senate. if the number is going to be less than

suzanne malveaux, thank you for sharing all of that. news of president bush's passing has been met by an outpouring of tributes from colleagues and admirers who worked alongside the 41st president throughout his decade -- decades i should say of public service. those tributes almost universally paint a portrait of a man who was steadfast in his principles and led a life of devotion to his nation. one offered by john sununu, an adviser who served as the first chief of staff from 1989 to 1991 and john sununu is joining us now. governor sununu, i know you have a heavy heart tonight. thank you for being here. >> thank you. it's a sad day but a day as we look back where we can at least relish a little bit some of the great president's accomplishments. >> not just his accomplishments but the person that he was. you write in "the washington post" today when he entered the white house he faced many issues that had been lingering for decades. budget deficits, the struggle against communism, instability in latin america, social inequality, threat
