Korea. so that indicates to me if china will do something more, theyre simply not ready to budge from their core position which is theyre more endangered by pressuring north korea to the point it generates instability or puts kim jong-uns back against the wall so he lashes out. therefore, theyre prepared to sort of live with a nuclear north korea and not do the kind of things the united states wants them to do. >> certainly the approach to north korea and his threat to deny any trade to a countr...

Right of return which means, there are no records. that any of those ancestors ever lived in israel has the try it move there and vote and vote for the expulsion of all the residents of israel. so the p.a. position is well disguised. they may even fool a lot of americans. but the p.a. position is two states as long as theyre both arab states. when the p.a. comes forward and says there will be two states, and the right of return means palestinians can move to the palestinian state, then well see ...

Short sound bite, but he is not that strong on it. >> well, sits an issue that hillary clinton has to address and the tweaks are necessary as the segment showed. there are broad swathes of the country where people have a single insurer to choose from and if you dont have competition, you wont push the prices down, and so they have to make the changes in the coming congress, and the republicans in congress dont want to make any changes, because they want to repeal it, and they dont want tweaks an...

But this is a critical point. the point that gets lost in the hype and media publicity surrounding the phone call of hassan rouhani. and that is because when it comes to the core position of the nuclear program, rouhani hasnt shifted positions. he still maintains that iran will continue its peaceful nuclear program. they will continue to enrich uranium. theyve said theyre willing to make concessions. could that be suspended enrichment at 20%? could that be opening up for broader inspections? if ...

>> yeah. well, and this year has proven i think that the jig is up for republicans because for a while they have been able to have a very hard core position that they present to their most conservative voters, say i oppose abortion in all instances, not even in the case of rape, but that wasnt really something that people on the other side, i guess, had focused on. i was surprised that everyone was surprised to hear the comments of akin and mourdock. im not sure what the an acceptable reason for...

Each made the mistake of trying to explain an increasingly common position by republican office holders, including paul ryan. its not unusual for gop politicians to oppose rape exceptions, but they havent had to defend that, at least not on a big stage. when forced to explain themselves, its not their words that alienate voters, but the idea of forcing women to carry to term a pregnancy that began in rape. as long as opposition to rape exceptions remains a mainstream exception, the gop abortion ...

I made, church, youve got to be a churchgoer in order for this to go, the tip of the hat for conservatives in iowa to try to keep them in the tent. >> this is completely unrealistic, he wants to create a new selective service board, he said, to determine whether youve gone to church, whether youve had that job for 6 of the 12 years youve been here or 5 of the 12 years. are they allowed to appeal it to court? weve never had second class citizens before in the united states. and this sounds humane...

Well, i think that we should do it faster, but i think that the core position, which is it can be done safely, it can be done in an environmentally sensitive way, it will help america economically by having jobs here at home, it will help america by keeping the cost of energy down and it will help america by taking us away from depe dependence on venezuela or saudi arabia. i think thats a win-win. >> interesting, newt gingrich on the offshore drilling plan. tina brown is with us. rand paul is wi...
