Terrorists kill people, innocent people and create terror in malls. at some point, you dont sit down with rohani or the iranian people -- >> you do not buy oil from iran. >> bob, i will tell you, unequivocally, we buy oil from iran. we buy oil from people who buy oil from iran. dont talk to me about oil. 20 years in the oil business, i will tell you there is iranian oil in our refineries. >> should we buy from iran? >> bob, you want to talk about -- >> bottom line, we have it from them, thats ju...

G-20 countries have clearly expressed support for needing to do something about this use of chemical weapons by the assad regime and so i think there are a number of countries who will be present with us who feel as strongly as we do about the need to enforce this norm to try to make sure that assad doesnt do this again to make it more difficult for him to do it again and just as important to tell countries around the world who may be trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction or who may alre...

Decides yay or nay. >> thats right. i think we all have to stop using the label "moderate" for rohani. hes a more moderate voice than some of the hardliners running for the job, but the truth is he is arock-solid staunchly loyal member of the cleric inner circle. he also ran irans nuclear negotiations for years and he ran them in such a way iran was able to continue developing its nuclear capability, in effect stringing along the west. so i imagine the white house is probably looking at this guy...

Vote. tomorrow the iranians go to the ballot box and it will be clear if the voter turnout is low or high. if there is a big turnout, it could favor the man backed by the reformists. if not, it could favor the hard-liners. and if it is too close to fall, it will go to a second round next week. >> ali, youve got this dichotomy between the candidates. all of our reporting from this side of the equation seems to be that rohani. >> reporter: if there is a lot of apathy towards the vote tomorrow, he ...

Mahmoud ahmadinejad the most is prime minister netanyahu. he has to figure if iran is going to be led by the supreme leader whos going to continue have power over the nuclear issue and other major decisions, better to have an iranian president who is blus rouse and rallies the world against iran rather than rohani who may cause the russians, europeans and chinese say lets have another shot at engagement. >> fascinating conversation. thank you both. up next, protests in turkey. we will go to is...
