Agreement that, part of which we werent able to see. so, i wish you well. weve had one witness who said she was in the room where they have the side agreements and they were passing them around and she touched them as they went by, but did not read them. so, she wasnt able to tell us either what was in the side agreements. i wish you well. if you get your hands on the side agreements, give me a call, would you, because id like to join you and have a look. thank you, mr. chair. >> thank you. sena...

Negotiation because it is in the context of their continued sponsorship of terrorism around the world. we cant just work this and turn a blind eye to that. it is a complicated discussion, but i think we do have to take that approach with them. were not going to do a one-off deal with you, that over here is not happening. it has to be looked at in full view, and we just have to be honest and acknowledge it. >> and thats exactly what happened. im encouraged to hear you say that. lets me warn you a...

Things that are just despicable acts. have you any views on that? >> i think i commented earlier one of the unfortunate effects of all the attention placed on the iran nuclear agreement i think ive heard, at least ive heard this expressed by others, resulted in a bit of a down focus on the real immediate threat today and thats irans continued sponsorship of terrorism and terrorist organizations there in the region, most particularly support for hezbollah and hamas. so, i think we do have to keep...

>> ive been to jerusalem many times. hundreds of palestinians live in east jerusalem. >> we have a conflict with the palestinians. we have to resolve that conflict through negotiations. we have a territory in dispute. what this u.n. security council resolution did is it basically ceded that territory to the palestinians. it says its yours. so let me ask you, why would the palestinians negotiate with us if the world is saying all that territory is yours? >> in fact, theres a -- ill read you a sta...

Thought nafta held out a lot of promise, but the fact that a lot of the so-called side agreements were not actually in the treaty, i thought was a problem. and it has turned out that i dont think we had enough of an enforcement mechanism in dealing with nafta. now, i dont think its as bad or as good as either its detractors or its supporters say, but i think weve learned, or at least i hope weve learned how better to do trade agreements. i voted against cafta because i didnt think the lessons we...

The legal standing of the house gop says they will have is that they didnt live up to the deal, the iran nuclear deal review act, saying because of the side agreements between iaea and the krif iran, which is the normal procedure to have the agreements between iaea and the countries, because they were not disclosed, that the clock process never should have started. so the september 17 date is wrong. legally, to negotiate these types of deals, it is under clear how that would proceed legally. and...

Paperwork so the congressional review period hasnt been triggered. a bill to approve the iran deal would fail but put every house member on the record in measure to prohibit president obama lifts sanctions. here are the two key lawmakers behind this new approach. >> we got to the right place. i think the president has broken the law. that is, he hasnt complied with his obligations under corker-cardin. very clear that the definition includes side agreements. when he does we may take a different a...

Should do additional legislation that says you cant undo the sanctions or the president never gave us the agreements and so this entire agreement between the two branches of government is null and void and therefore the deal cant take effect. they are trying to find new ways at the 11th hour to slow or stop it. >> we talked about that with senator graham last night and that is, the fact that these side deals didnt come forward is a real issue. >> no question. >> its actually in -- explicitly it ...

You bear direct responsibility for the murders carried out with the dollars you have given them. you cannot wash your hands of that blood, and let me say to republican leadership -- hold on. i come not to bury caesar but to praise him. i want to give a path forward. there are two men in washington, d.c. who can defeat the deals. the names are majority leader mcconnell and speaker john boehner. under the terms of the corker/cardin review legislation the clock does not begin ticking until the pres...

>> they negotiated them with all of the country. we dont want our side agreements negotiated with the russians. they are briefed. >> joel said they are secret. and they say it is between iran and iean and no ones business. >> they are international bodies to verify nuclear bodies. they have confidence and we sit on their board of directors and this is a strong organization that is going to verify them. >> mark last word. >> joel is betting future of the united states and survival of israel to a ...
