its ministry of intelligence and security and tehran's ally, hezbollah. in addition to its support for terrorism, the iranian regime is corrupt and known to be known in money laundering, bribery and illicit finance around the world. not just in the middle east. but in the western hemisphere. and the treasury has designated the government of iran as a primary money laundering concern since 2011. international financial bodies such as the financial action task force have warned iran's financing of terrorism poses a serious threat to the international financial system. so, since the iranian deal, the islamic guard is actively providing funding and arms to hezbollah and hamas. propping up shi'a militias in iraq. responsible for the deaths of americans. our soldiers in iraq. they continue to hold hostages. they continue to fail federal adjudicated claims of 35 years of victims. and they continue to trade and test ballistic weapons, threatening our allies and our best interests. this legislation's not about sinking the nuclear deal. this legislation is about ho

but then the embassy siege in tehran, the american embassy, 52 americans held hostage, an internationalsis and all of a sudden the entire country, democrats, republicans, independents, everyone, they rallied around their president and carter, he looked dead in the water politically before this, but the embassy siege changes everything. his approval rating rockets up, he erases all of the deficit in the polls and zooms ahead of kennedy. carter starts cruising, wins new hampshire, florida, all the early states. he looks like he's rolling. but the rally around the flag effect, it starts to wear off. the hostage crisis lags on and on and on. there's a botched rescue mission. and carter's numbers start to fall back to where they were. soon enough, it's kennedy who is on a tear. he starts winning primaries. he starts picking up momentum and he finishes with a quick. he takes five of the last eight contests, including the biggies, california and new jersey. but then kennedy is out of states because the primary calendar is over. so it's a strange situation, because he started so strong, because

with love and on's reaction to the storming of the saudi embassy in tehran. the saudi's felt the lebanese were not efficiently supportive. it's all part of this larger regional conflict in the world with hezbollah as a political party in lebanon and a bash and an ally of iran and emesis to saudi arabia. it's not really about what the lebanese had to say. economic impact, it adds to further perception of the instability. the economy was allowed to experience zero gdp growth. there have in increasing .rotests on the part of citizen it's just one of numerous examples of function and civil rights abuses. as for the refugees themselves, they find themselves in an extremely marginal position. many do not have the right to be in lebanon, so they end up putting pressure on wages was somewhere between 50% and 70% of refugee children are working and him lawyers are eager to hire syrians and palace means because they are vulnerable and they have to pay them less. more refugees are engaged in force labor or sexual exploitation. how much time do i have left? the palestini

about, most of all, is the deal that is being done between the russians, putin and the ayatollahs in tehraney know that's what's happening. they hate shiites. they don't call them iranians. they call them persians. what iran has been after opening up land corridor goes between the border of iran and iraq to the border of syria. they are about keeping assad in power. isis is lording over the fact only ones standing up for sunnis in that part of the world. erdogan knew that. it prompted him to come late to the party but he finally got here. connell: colonel north, terrific on the spot to have terrific insight from you. we learned a lot. we'll continue to follow the thank you, sir. melissa: he really did a lot to illuminate that situation. great to have him standing by. a lot going on. we'll have more on the developing story after the break. the white house just responding now to the situation in turkey. y life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents

idea that instead of you exact vengeance you do seek justice but right away six weeks later if the tehranconference call and said to roosevelt and churchill, zero i have an idea of justice. let's line up to 2000 or 100,000 of the top german commanders and let's shoot them. that would be justice. churchill was horrified and roosevelt said something like let's have a compromise. let's shoot 49,500. it didn't go over well with churchill but what's interesting it goes back and forth and eventually stalin and roosevelt decide they do want a trial for different reasons. stalin loved show trials. the 30s he had faked trials but roosevelt really wanted the principle and churchill was aware of the danger of the trap of show trials and he suddenly declassified documents we found out that at one point he was considering a plan to just have summary executions of a few top leaders and some just imprisoned without trial. this went back and forth and eventually the trials happen as we know. nuremberg and so forth and it was imprisoned in but every step of the way was controversial right up to today. >>

those are the people who are in the streets of tehran with big signs saying, "where are you?" we're not there. we have to be there. and there are lots of different ways of being there. >> yeah. let me just, you know, talk about this business about a failed system. you know, another area that we need to be seen as, and i think in some cases taking some action, leadership, you know, global leadership, from a global leadership perspective is in how do you change an economic system that's built upon one element. and how do you talk about education, okay? there's a reason why a lot of, you know, there's a lot of muslims that send children to schools in london, paris, new york, boston, washington, d.c., you know? and so when they send them, when they go back, what is it that they're doing? you know, are they, are they looking to see something different? and that -- and so the answer to that question is, yes, they are. i know this. i've talked to many of these people that are in a position that they see that they must change. and they're trying. they're trying. so it's not just, you

now, reagan did have the fig leaf whereby the weapons were going to tehran, and the hostages were held in lebanon. so technically, it wasn't the hostage holders who were getting the arms. but if any of reagan's political opponents had tried this argument on him -- >> sure. >> -- he would have ridiculed them. >> yeah. >> but -- oh, there's one other aspect of this one on this particular issue, and that is this is deep into reagan's second term: this is deep into reagan's eighth decade of life. when i was interviewing people for this, i was talking to john poindexter who was reagan's national security adviser on the time the iran contra scandal broke. and he said that he thought that part of the reason that reagan could say what he did after having done what he did was he was beginning to become forgetful. and he could forget the details. and i will give, i will cut presidents slack on this, because as a historian, i've got that written record in front of me. and i can go down almost any day of reagan's presidency, and he was doing this at 10:00, he was doing this at 1:00, this at 1:30 a

iran's air force flew a boeing 747 from tehran to damascus. yesterday. this is the documentation of it. iran systemically uses commercial aircraft to spread death, destruction, and mayhem and we can do something about it. so divorce in your mind, mr. chairman, the notion of the nuclear deal that the gentleman from new york was speaking about. completely separate. this is our ability to stop an iconic american company that is basically said, well, look, somebody else is doing it. let me ask you one question in closing, mr. chairman. when does history ever treat well the entity that said, i did this terrible thing because somebody else did it too. -- did it too? i urge adoption of this amendment and yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from illinois yields back. the gentleman from new york. mr. serrano: how much time do i have left? the chair: two minutes. mr. serrano: this is about the iran deal. you can paint it any way you want. anyone can say what they want about it, but it is about a deal that people owould like to destroy. so a
