And its not about anything. as john said they will all tear them up. hillary will be boring. if i were advising a candidate i would say hold off until august or september and come racing into this race with a whole new message. by the way, attacking rand paul instead of doing that, whoever is spending the million dollars you should be spending it pushing democrats on whether or not they are going to have the congress vote to on this deal or not. they dont understand anything. >> this week its th...

Sir, you head back to the united states with the task of convincing the american people and congress on two major foreign policy initiatives. the framework to a nuclear deal with iran and likely soon a decision to remove cuba from a list of state sponsors of terror. recent remarks by supreme leader ayatollah khomeini have raised doubts to some as to whether that deal with occur with iraq. and senator schumer, an ally of yours, wants congress to have the right to vote on removal of sanctions. pre...

Against this bill are supporting the reality that the alternative is the possibility of war. >> thats what constrains congress if the corker bill becomes law. youre going to have democrats like schumer, like tim kaine who are faced with this choice. if theyre thinking about disapproving an iran deal which would require a two-thirds vote, because the president would be able to veto the disapproval, what would happen if they disapprove the deal? we have all of our partners who are not likely to co...

Swallow. >> yeah. but unless i misunderstanding the nature of that story schumer is not opposing the deal. what schumer is doing is demanding congressional having a vote on it in congress. i think there will be a broad bipartisan consensus. theres long time struggle between legislative and executive. a lot of democrats like all republicans are going to want to have a vote on this deal. president obama is asserting he doesnt need to give them a vote but i think politically he does. whether its le...

He is. israel demanding a vote on the floor. how important is that? >> well, look its clear. hes now one of a dozen democratic senators who have signed on with bob corker on the republican side in favor of the legislation that says that the senate must be able to review and have authority over whether this deal gets approved or not. and schumer is obviously because hes the incoming minority leader is the biggest voice in some ways now in the democratic party. so i have always thought as a matter...

Like chuck schumer, on your side. >> and sending it back to dana like schumer, potentially the democratic leader, who wants to give congress some kind of say, but in the end he wont be the ringleader to try to scuttle the final deal with the veto-proof majority. >> i think that is likely, because basically the legislation right now is not to scuttle the deal just to give congress a say. so i think they are speaking up for their toougsal prerogative which has been overridden by this president and...

Conceivable he might be one who votes for the corker bill but then votes in the end to support the president? >> i think thats a distinct possibility. i think whats going on here is that schumer to an extent is presenting his institutional prerogative. congress does not want to be shunted to the side. que in congress need to have a say on this, and were not going to be ignored. and you saw obama allude to that saying theres got to be some way that congress should express themselves. i think the ...

Congress if the corker bill becomes law. youre going to have democrats like schumer, like tim kaine who are faced with this choice. if theyre thinking about disapproving an iran deal which would require a two-thirds vote because the president would be able to veto the disapproval, what would happen if they disapprove the deal? we have all of our partners who are not likely to continue to sign on to the sanctions regime if the deal is rejected. that would mean if you blow up the deal the only opt...

Anything to the floor that the republicans put out there. if schumer is willing to bring things to the floor thats an improvement. >> she took what bill fritz created in gridlock and perfected it. >> you talk about harry reid as the tactician, the politician, the fund-raiser. his legacy in the last election will be disastrous. he decided to nationalize the election around charles coe. nobody knew. nobody cared. and he wasted so much money for the democrats. >> i want to -- we get to hillary clin...

Other side. but he also refused to bring anything to the floor that the republicans put out there. if schumer is willing to bring things to the floor thats an improvement. >> she took what bill fritz created in gridlock and perfected it. >> you talk about harry reid as the tactician, the politician, the fund-raiser. his legacy in the last election will be disastrous. he decided to nationalize the election around charles coe. nobody knew. nobody cared. and he wasted so much money for the democrat...
