Well take out worldwide challenges to america from russia iran, and china with our special guest. Also here, president obamas own rebuffed his efforts to move ahead with what until now was a secret trade negotiation with 11 pacific room countries and asia, and latin america. Negotiating secretly with china to sell it advanced Nuclear Reactors and advanced nuclear technology. President s prospect on that looking loudy if part because Senate Democrats voted to block legislation that would have granted the President Authority to Fast Track International trade deals. Well take that up with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Michael Goodwin, and julie roginsky. And tom bradys agent said that his 4 game suspension is ridiculous. And the author of the levels wells report, said that no one should question his highly questionic findings. Questionable findings, we have some of the best attorneys in the on business that case. Well report, and analyze and you decide deflategate. But first other issues looming large. We begin in sochi russia. Where the president dispatched secretary kerry. Kerry met with the russians. They produced little progress in easing tensions in ukraine and syria. Kerry talked about his low expectations during a press conference with the Russian Foreign minister lavrov. We didnt come here with an expectation that we would going to define a specific path forward with respect to a crisis or have a breakthrough. We came here to have a full, and open dialogue with russias leaders. The kind of dialogue that is essential in making progress on the many challenges that we face today. Lou joining us, dean of fletcher school, admiral james. Let me start with this attempt rat a reset on the part of secretary of state kerry the obama administration. This is the president sending his man with hat in hand to Vladimir Putin who this president has said for months and months and months, economic sanctions will bring him to his knees. What do you make of it . Well, i dont think we should be think it too about a reset we should be worried about a replay of the original invasion of ukraine. Because if you think back to how the invasion of ukraine started it started with Vladimir Putin in moscow, in sochi rat the olympics handing World Leaders like he has been doing. Preparations are underway for a attack probably against marry opal to creata land bridge we talked about. This is not a reset, but a replay of the invasion we should be thinking about. Lou how much more of this can the American Public top pub tolerate. This president now launched a negotiation over sending our advanced nuclear technology, u. S. Advance Nuclear Reactors to china. The list goes on, what in the world are we to expect of this president . Im worried about this potential Technology Deal with china. I hope that congress does its job. Which is to look hard at whether this makes sense. While were in midst of trying to shut down pro 11ing a with iran to spend this kind of time and technology at china, i think is very risky. Lou the tpp trade tran pacific partnership. Socalled free trade deal, which has been around for more than a decade then this president is driving it forward. He is just waiting for an opportunity to get Fast Track Authority, and he will put it before congress. How much more of this style of leadership does this country have to tolerate from what is becoming a authoritarian president. The senate puts some brakes on the Transpacific Partnership today. Lets see if the congress does its job in that arena. As it is in the other arena. So we have a government that is working together. It is this gridlock, and this failure too build a cohere 18 case and strategy that is making almost all of our troubles in the world. Lou china russia joint military exercises not in the pacific. In the mediterranean sea. What do you make of it . What is their object in so doing . What are we to take from it all . I think were seeing a very logical turn of russia. Which has been cordoned off from western europe and u. S. From their own bad behavior in ukraine, looking if the world trying to find other partners. They are attempting a partnership with china over longterm i dont see that as successful, two very different nations, different approaches. Russia is a 2 trillion gas station, that is how the chinese look at them, i think that china will take advantage of russia. This is an unsettling sight in a part of the world that has been under u. S. And european influence. Lou president meeting with 6 arab states, 4 are not sends their heads of state to meet with the president. This sounds like a snub, or a strong signal of displace lure with this administration. I think it is a shot across the bough. Without question this idea of bringing these kings and amirsing it was cooked a long time ago at the last minute 4 of 6 pulling out. This is a message from the sunni arabs. It is mismanagement of our align system in the middle east. Lou ed miral james good to have you with us thank you so. Thank you lou. Lou and capturing the attention of tens of millions of football fans millions are americans who normally not interested in ball, are now into deflategate. It is a scandal but whose scandal is it . Is it tom bladey . Rodger goodell or ted wells . The patriots moving to support their quarterback now is to challenge the wels report and what bradys anxiety called the nfls atrary punishment. League said it is about protecting the integrity of the game. Tom brady was not fully candid with investigators refusing to share his emails and textmessages. He is now suspended for 4 games and patriots find a Million Dollars and they will lose first second pick next year. League said, he was at least generally aware of what was happening, of in the Vice President vin cent said we cannot be sure where it began but evidence says that january 15 are 18 is not the only time this considers. Patriot owner bob kraft said he does not believe it was in any tampering with the footballs and brady has the unconditional appeals of the court. Thank you very much. Well have much more on the brady appeal with your legal panel on. This will be subject of my commentary were welcoming right back stay with us. Coming up, Senate Democrat say no way to president s see call free trade deal. There is nothing free when the middle class is paying with their jobs. More massive earthquakes hit the roof of the world death toll rising in nepal and an american aid helicopter goes missing, the latest ahead. Lou president s trade agenda suffering a setback on senate floor, blocking correction of legislation of president s Fast Track Authority to complete a trade agreement with asia. Senate voted 52 to 45 to begin debating the bill, 8 short of 60 needed. After that vote, president obama met with Senate Democrats to talk about im sure quietly a way forward. That sounds familiar. Turning to the race for 2016, mainstream liberal media treatment of republican candidates. Bloomberg politics reporter, today, forced to apologize after he was criticized under fire for his interview with senator ted cruz. As you see halprin well he laughlost his way. You filled out your application to princeton and harvard, did you list your as hispanic. I have listed myself as cubanamerican that is my background. Do you have a favorite dish. We eat all of the time. Your favorite. Picadillo. Likely. I am going to stick to english, i appreciate the invitation sonor. Lou senator cz handled that about as gracious low as possible halprin i will not describe his conduct. His apology senator cruz said it was unnecessary but took no offense. Joining us now Michael Goodwin and julie roginsky. Edted cruz was extraordinary. I called halprin out on this, i am no fan of ted cruz, you are right . Oorare. Lou are you a fan of halprin. There is no excuse, how did you racially profile someone like that. It was beyond ignore app ignorant. I dont believe that halprin or anybody would do that to a democratic cubanamerican. Only a republican, somehow there is a issue. If you had bob menendez on as a cuban democrat he would have probably done the same. Lou jeb bush would say you are dealing with hypotheticals. I am. Lou governor had a terrific interview with megan kelly he recapped a bit. Recanted a bit the most important bit perhaps. On subject of iraq, a controversial subject knowing what we know, would you have authorized the invasion . I would have. In 20 20 hindsight you would make a different decision. I dont know that decision would have been, that is a hypothetical, but the fact is mistakes were made, as they always are in life. Lou what do you make of this. I am offended as a political consultant, he was not prepared for the question he would obviously get. Lou which one . Iraq. How do you not know they are going to ask you about that . Saying hipsay hypothetical. I heard him say to sean hannity. I misinterpreted the question to mean if i had known them, none of this makes sense. Was he careless, did he wake unin the morning and discover he start a storm. Lou a couple problems. Megan kelly could not have been more susceptible and direct suss sinksuccinct and direct in her question. It gets complicated when you see back flips against obvious. You lose more by just standing by what you mean. Authenticity should never be underestimated as a value for people. They want to know that you stand behind what you say. In particular on important issues like iraq war. Which his brother launched. It was foolish to be so careless. Lou and president s free trade agenda and his sought trade Promotion Authority. The power to suspend congressional constitutional powers to amend legislation. I dont know what is going on, i am agreeing with you on way too many things. I am not liking this. Why does president get to unilaterally decide, then inform us what were doing with a trade deal. Lou what are the republicans doing here . Poof 52 of them lining up, and voting like lemmings. They probably dont know what it is. Lets debate what is actually in it, not just the power to unilaterally. Lou so cumbersome to ask them read and comprehend it. Let the public read it for them. Why should we take anybodys word for it. Lou anybody taking anybodys word in washington, d. C. Right now, you are out of your mind. Agreed. Lou dont you think there should be some embarrassment in the house . They are suing president of the u. S. For abuse of executive authority, they are trying to hand their Constitutional Authority to him. And Mitch Mcconnell votes against the bill so he can raise it again. The foolish consistency. Lou you are right. Thank you. Lou vote in our poll, do you believe Rodger Goodell has become a liability for the nfl . Pentagon said, one of our marine helicopters conducting humanitarian assistance in nepal is missing tonight. Nepal suffered two more major earthquakes, that helicopter, is a huey, like this one. Carrying 6 u. S. Marines two nepalese soldiers were also aboard. A join task morse has been searching for the aircraft. Through the evening. Todays magnitude 7. 3 quake. And a half pour hour later 6. 3 killed dozens of people, and triggered landslides and toppled buildings, up next, nfls handling of deflategate. Like west wing fascism . What happened to the nfl . My commentary next. And nearly 50 massachusets commuters getting the shock of their life when their bus makes an unscheduled stop. Well tell you what happened next, stay with us. Lou a few thoughts now braids anxiety bradys anxiety wasted no time and words in slamming nfl punishment. Wrote the discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis, nfl has a well documented history of making poor disciplinary decisions that are often overturned when neutral judges preside. Ted wells defending his report. What drove the decision in this report was evidence. Those conclusions were not influenced in anyway, shape or form by anyone at the league office. I think it is wrong to create size my independence just because you disagree with my findings. Lou putting aside the findings looking at independence, wells has a Long Association with the nfl, he represented nfl for years in concussion lawsuit. Perhaps wells is not as independent as he and goodell would like to maintain, they have talked about what is good for the game. But their actions have hardly been good for the game or nfl for his part goodell tried to hide from his responsible in deflategate by signing his executive Vice President to the case as if his direct report would somehow be oc some objective. As for deflategate there are a lot of problem. Bradysage said he participated in a wideranged interview with no conditions for 5 1 2 hours yet some of his testimony was not included. And as for not turning over his final phone record to nfl when did nfl acquire search and seizure powers, and what does a play are forfeit his rights of privacy or for any matter, his hisstutional rights. His constitutional rights, and why did they not examine the footballs of both teams and why didnt the wells report note referee statement that pressure readings were taken with the wrong gauge by those investigating that under 78ed thestatedthe pressure levels of the football. But the nfl chose not to talk with the patriots about any of the allegations made or the fact they worp goingthey were going to make certain that balls were inflated to any level. Why would nfl not talk with patriots unless their purpose was to entrap them . Rather than protect the game and preserve rules surely no one at nfl is dumb enough to think that more drama is good for the nfl or for that matter their job security. Instead, bradys agent said that nfl talked only with the colts and carried out a sting operation with brady and the patriots. Rodger goodell is now leading the nfl from behind, trying to preserve his job at all cost, whether to truth. To fairness and balance or further amid cost on nfl itself, goodell continued to insist on leading from behind. His coercive leadership without regard to consequence wielding hout regard to facts and good of the game, and truth is far more consistent with authoritarian tone and style that seems to be the preferred style of liberal washington. I think this time goodell provoked a Public Relations battle, and a legal battle, that i believe he will lose. In loseinning in losing those battles he may well lose his job. And in my opinion appropriately so. Now our quotation of the evening we did it ourselves. Lou up next, brady fights back, but what are his legal chances of success . We take it up and more with leading attorneys lis wiehl and rebecca rose woodland, deflategate is examined closelygo. Next. You are type e. Yes, Investment Opportunities can be anywhere. Or not.

Lou tom bradys agent said he is appealing the decision in the deflategate scandal talking about if is defense attorney rebeck on rose woodland, and lis wiehl. Let me start with this wells report it has a mass of problems in it. What is the nfl doing relying on such a difficultly incomplete can we start with the language he said more probable than not. That brady of quote, at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities, are you kidding . That would never hold up in a court of law. It will be appealed, then to goodell or whatever else nfl will tak
