Parts of the white house. they dont know what sort of wild ride they might be signing up for in a battle for who controls the message out of there. >> lets take a look at some of the big names being floated right now. theres, of course, the current acting national security advisor. retired keith kellogg and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and hr mcmaster. what do you think of those candidates? >> theyre all not bad candidates. they have experience. i mean, they would be good job but what the ...

A lot of cheers coming up from the middle east on that. >> sean: let me play for you a moment about this new coalition, general, where i asked him, joining forces with israel. let me play this for you. >> i am reading the tea leaves and what im hearing from you is that there is an alliance that perhaps is emerging that may beat nobody anybody anticipated before that goes way beyond a one or two state solution, not only against iran but also the palestinian nation. >> i am trying to throw a very ...

Extreme right who accepts annexing territory. you saw the map of the settlements in the west bank. israelis are split. some think theyre 100% for settlements. thats not true. they see it as potentially counter productive. >> you look at the fact the administration is coming to shape particularly on the issue of peace in the middle east. do you get a sense of which direction is going. the president on one hand saying he doesnt feature one or two state solution. you and ambassador nikki haley stan...

Additional layer which is yeah but it didnt work and this is a largely academic reckoning that you have of a constipated process that yielded nothing. trump is a deal maker and he said whatever you guys want is fine. figure it out. well help as we can and that sounds pretty good to the uninitiated here. what do they need to think about in order to scrutinize what they have heard about our course forward as the united states. >> well, you know, u.s. foreign policy isnt like ordering off of a chin...

Iran, but did back away from two state solution. what is going on? >> cant under estimate the importance of that moment. so many news stories every day seemingly in the new administration but this has been principle in administrations of both parties for decades as aim for solving this intractable u.s./israeli problem. two peoples claiming the same land in effect. borders recognized by u.n. going back decades and president saying you know what, could be one tate, two, as long as everybody is hap...

People -- as he should have? he backed himself into a corner and now he feels he has to dig in when it comes to russia? >> well, you know -- >> thats giving him a lot of leeway here. >> weve seen him adjust on thing. >> right. he has ptd adjusted. >> he hasnt adjusted on this. >> for time purposes, lets move on. what the president is saying about tossing around a one state two state solution about israel, he is talking about it pretty casually. listen to this. >> i am looking at two state and on...

Well go with whatever works. >> it will lead you to that conclusion chris. its a prime directive. to disrupt without thinking through carefully. and kaushlly the implications of what it is theyre doing and yeah the two state solution is in deep trouble. the problem is to unmoor it from american policy now without an alternative i think is neither wise nor warranted. again in another universe you have an administration that would have a policy review. they do consultations and they do their due d...

Countries make peace with israel. endorsed by arab league and reendorsed in 2007. trump talking about it as if he had the idea over the weekend. theres something unreal with the lack of briefing and preparation, might be because flynn is out. >> did you ever consider being his foreign policy adviser? >> i think if there was a prospect this interview taken care of that. he doesnt seem to want to be briefed. he walks into these things. always negotiated real estate by walking in, talks about in hi...

Had probably been disturbed for weaks. this is another moment of does he make it up while he goes along. >> whats the one state solution? what is that? >> there is not a one state solution. i think when you talk to people that know a lot about this issue and people in washington and around the world have been trying to resolve this very thorny problem for decades. they know that ultimately if theres going to be any sort of semblance of peace there has to be an israeli state and some kind of pale...

Well and good. except the one thing that every republican has said they cant wrap their head around is donald trump, his position on russia. he has never backed down on russia is good and putin is good. its not as if he feels badly about this or he has a concern. and throughout the republican party, people are mystified by this. >> is this just as simple as he didnt have as much knowledge about russia as people -- as he should have. backed into corner and feels he has to dig in when it comes to ...
