To fox news sunday. Good to be with you. Good to be here. As donald trump has gone from one misstep to another, speaker gingrich, you have been as sharp as any critic about your man. Here are some of things youve been saying about him. Very selfdestructive, take a deep breath and learn new skills. Trump is helping her to win by proving he is more unacceptable than she is. I know that you think that clinton would make a president , but how close is trump to disqualifying himself . I dont think very close at all. First, if you look at the last few days hes gotten the messages. He came out and endorsed paul ryan which she should have done in the first place, endorsed john mccain which he should have done in the first place. He endorsed kelly ayotte. If youve never run for office, businessman to politician frankly the biggest mistake was last week on your son. Its one thing to lie, but another thin to explain apparently her brain shortcircuited. As George Romney can tell you using that as an excuse is very dangerous in a campaign. I think she managed to trump trump in terms of mistakes. That brings us to Hillary Clinton. Congressman becerra, who has a honesty. Last week i asked her about the fact that fbi direct ore comey said what she had been telling the American People for a year about her private emails was untrue, was false. Heres how she responded. Director comey said what my answers were truffle and is consistent with what i told American People. And as independent fact i may have shortcircuited for that, you notice, i will try to clarify, because i think Chris Wallace and i were probably talking past each other. But congressman becerra, she didnt shortsick, and we didnt walk past each other. The problem was ms. Clippen misrepresented what james comb yes told the American People. What director domie told the American People wasf fbi, that of the over 30,000 emails that clinton had provided there was no wrongdoing. He didnt say that, but thats not what im talking about. What he said is there was not enough ground to prosecute her. He did say she had been extremely careless and he said was what she told the American People over the past year was wrong. Secretary clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails either sent or received. Was that true . Thats not true. Secretary clinton said i did not email classified significant to anyone on my email. Was that . There was classified email. Director comey directly contradicted what secretary American People. What director comey said is she had no knowledge of the socalled classified email because they were not marked or not classified at the time or incorrectly marked. So he did come out and said you dont show that, but he came out and say they were marked and more importantly he said that there was classified material that she had emailed. But she did not know it. Otherwise if there had been the intention to send classified pursued this much further, so i think youre trying to make more of this than there is. She didnt say i didnt intend to send classified material. She said that isnt what she told the American People. She has made it clear that looking back she would have done it differently, she did make some mistake, but never intended to send classified information over emails, and the fbi investigation confirms that. And so why we may want to make more of it, the fact has said we important a matters of the country. I think youre missing the genius of her friday comment. Now you can say to that mother in benghazi, no it was shortcircuit. Did you forget the meetings in no, it was what short circuit. It wasnt that i lied to you, i didnt remember what i was going to say. After 30,000 emails have been been disclosed, what we dont yet know is one tax return how his wife gained her immigration status that is not true. That is not true. Its time for donald trump to start providing one iota of information on the tax returns, which hes never agreed to do. Okay. First of all, we know that his wife had a green card before she met him. She came here how did she get the green card . Shall he came here legally. How did she get it. She didnt know donald trump. Before she came to work america youre worried about. I think its amazing the one person you decide to pick on happens to the the wife of donald trump. Its amazing that the immigrant basher first of all, im the immigrant basher, he just likes is immigrants to be legal. Im the son of immigrants, but what does concern me is when immigrant, not only undocumented, but legal immigrants and wont explain house his wife i think we have made the point. Lets turn to the economy, kind of a big issue. Here is what trump says about his plan. Were going to cut our taxes for the middle class. Were going to cut our taxes for business. Were going to have massive dollars pouring into this country, and were going create jobs like we have never seen before. But speaker gingrich, trump would cut taxes 9. 5 trillion over the next decade, most of it going to top earners, and adds 11. 2 trillion to the debt with unspecified spending cuts. Mr. Speaker, his numbers dont add up. Of course not. I hi historically no candidates numbers add up, particularly in the media. Youre saying his numbers you on that one, newt. I said all candidates. If you open up Americas Energy and mining opportunities theres at least 7 trillion in potential additional revenue just from making it easier to develop our own energy and only mental resources. There are a number of steps to take to dramatically accelerate the economy. If you dramatically you have an explosion of Small Business getting created. In a period of Economic Growth such as the reagan era, in fact raise a tremendous amount of revenue. Congressman becerra, you can responsible, but i also breathtaking. Breathtaking. Go ahead. The plan you just outlined, which sentence money mostly to folks at the top has been scored to probably look about 3. 5 million jobs broadband senator mccains former economist. Its also clear that increasing debt, donald trump really meant this is a guy who thinks and his quote was wages are too high. The problem in the economy isnt that wages are too high. Weve seen jobs created in the last six years or so. The problem has been americans havent seen their wages go up. So salaries but president obama has been the president for the last eight years. You make it sound like somebody else is in charge. Whats not good is we have to see americans wages go up. Th the jobs arent good. Youre not getting manufacturing back. Youre again bartending jobs and service jobs. Because he outsources jobs let me ask about clintons numbers. They do add up. She would raise taxes 1. 2 trillion, a trillion over ten years, most of that on the rich. Even with big new spending programs adding only about 250 obama plan. Heres that discussion. Youre offering more Government Programs well, but thats more entitlements are mo more taxes no. More tax penaltyings and credits. Lets unpack that. What im offer is the biggest Job Creation Program since world war ii. But its infrastructure. Thats what obama did. But he didnt get to do enough. The problem with the w obama didnt get to do enough . We didnt invest in our roads and brinls and schools the way we should have. We had a trillion dollar stimulus plan. Only a small portion went to infrastructure, to investments what seeing say my dad was in construction, one of the hardesthit industries in the 2008 recession. For somebody has to go to lunch. Its a ripple effect. We had 900 billion, we blew that chance and now trust secretary clinton that many jobs isnt blowing it. A lot arent very good. Only in the world of grinch and republicans would creating 15 million jobs after george bush left us with an economy hemorrhagic. You campaign on things are good enough. Well campaign on things can get better. Well see who wins the general we have a bit of time left, and i want to get to isis, the external threat. Heres what clinton and trump are saying about each other. It was Hillary Clinton that she should get an award from them as the founder of isis. There is no doubt in myomind that donald trump is unqualified to be president and unfit to be commander in chief. I dont understand either plan, what is clintons plan to destroy isis and why is it better than Donald Trumps . Just as she was there to green light she didnt green light it, president obama did. But she was there to give advice. She was the one that assembled a coalition that helped stop the Nuclear Buildup in iran. Whats her plan to stop isis . Shes made it very clear. You get tough on them at the source, we protect the homeland. What you dont do is dont call for torture to be used by the newest military. You dont cozy up to people like piatten and it saddam hussein. You dont use Nuclear Weapons. You create the partnerships that you need. You dont go out there and show that youre unfit to be president the way donald trump has. So 15 years after 9 11, were not winning. Were not winning in afghanistan. Were not winning in iraq, were winning in lebanon. Thats a knock on our troops. No. Our troops will tell you were not winning. Even wait a second. He attacked a gold star family. Whats winning about that. He defenses a number of gold star families. He went after the mother. And mr. Khan attacked him pretty tough, too. Politics is ao but but. Get out kitchen if you cant take the heath. For both of them. Hillarys got a run on the grounds that disrupting libya, disrupting syria, failing in russia, failing in iraq, failing in afghanistan and shell do more of the same failure including paying 400 billion in cash, which the president assures us was not in fact 400 million. Well be talking about that. Off the set. Speaker ging rich, congressman becerra, thank you both. I hope when they have the big debate, that both candidates do as well as you do. New polls that tracks if you are repeatedly having what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him . People ask me, what do you think about trump . Honestly i dont care for him much, and i certainly dont trust hillary. President obama calling out republicans for supporting trump and gop congressman Mike Kauffman of colorado coming out against trump in a commercial as part of his campaign for reelection. And syndicated columnist george will. Gerald seib, lisa lerer, and lisa boothe. Jerry, how damaging was it for donald trump . And was it irreparable . Very damaging, but not irreparable, i dont think. I think the numbers that scared republicans moth wasnt the that could fa Hillary Clinton was up we had a number which kind of congress, one controlled by republicans president now democrats are up by four points. I think what changed is republicans looked at the Trump Campaign and said its in trouble, but its the kind of trouble that can drag us down and now were seeing a separation of the party, a president ial Campaign Going one way and going that way. We saw the long and winding route that he went to finally endorse paul ryan, john mccain and kelly ayotte. We saw that ad beginning it by saying he doesnt like donald trump. How much trump is trouble in with his own party . It presents challenges. Its not good when your own party is coming out with ads but i think some of the disasters could potentially be the best thing that could have happened to him. Sometimes candidates need to get their teeth knocked in to force directional changes that are needed for the campaign that are bivl. What we saw is donald trump sourcing paul ryan, senator mccain and ayotte as well, which is a recognition hi needs the republican party, the republican base. Hes hired cambridge analytics despite in may say his does not brexit who identified firsttime voters and got them out to vote. Thats a positive step. We also saw he outraised Hillary Clinton in direct donations, a 69 increase in smalldollar donations, which is a positive step for his campaign. Also after getting hid with 234 million in radio and tv buys by finally looking into ad time for this election. Maybe it was a bad couple weeks, but perhaps this is the sort of forced change that his campaign needs. Then we have Hillary Clinton who by all accounts had a very strong week until as we saw on friday she once again kicked up the controversy over her private emails and what fbi director comey said about them, and last night donald trump had some fun with how she here trump is. Unstable Hillary Clinton, i think that the people of this country dont want somebody thats going to shortcircuit up here. George, how do you explain Hillary Clinton and her continuing troubles with the emails . Well, theres no good explanation, which is why they throw a lot of dust in the air. Facts law on the side, argue the law. If you have the facts on your side, argument the facts. If neither are on your side, pound the table. Shes pounding the table at the moment. People have made many their mind for or against her, and i have a doubt as to whether this resonates when people go into the voting booth in november. Why . Because its already baked in the numbers in your poll, which is they said not honest and exclusively, but largely related to this, and they have made up their minds. So, in other words, if youre against her, you already whatever your feelings are, you have already baked the private emails into it. Its unclear how many undecided voters are in the country, but surely those who were undecided are not undecided about this. People have probably said weerp for her in spite of that. If were opposed to her, its factored it in. Lisa, how much frustration at clinton headquarters in brooklyn the fact that she just even though politically or rather legally shes in the clear, the fbi director comey and attorney general lynch say theyre not going to prosecute her, accomplicically she cant seem to get arrive of it. And surprising twist, that campaign folks at Clinton Campaign great with george, that this is if you see this and dont like her, you like her less, but if if you like her, you see this and think theres a Conspiracy Theory against her. A campaign is not a court case, Public Opinion is not a jury. Shes unable to provide anything but these very legalistic answers and continues to be a drag on her campaign. Look, none of that may matter. Donald trump is having problems but it is something that could follow her into the white house should she win. Its hard to get thing done when voters dont trust you, and this speaks to that weakness of hers. Lets look at swing state polls that came out this week. They were pri alarming. Trump is now done 15 points in new hampshire, down 11 points in pennsylvania, down nine points in michigan, and down six points in florida. Jerry, theres even shows trump is down four points in reliably red georgia. This is trouble. And utah, its drifting the other way. The number that ought to bother the Trump Campaign is florida. For me its hard to put together the Electoral College map that wins for trump without florida. The fact hes down there is a bad sign. If he doesnt win florida, it doesnt matter if he wins not going to win pennsylvania. These are all leading indicators. When you step back from the numbers, one of the things you see is in the last week Hillary Clinton and the democrats consolidated their base in the wake of their convention. The republicans went in the opposite direction. Donald trump is bleeding right now among some of his core supporters, white males, noncollege educated voters. These are people who are the trump voters. Thats where hes eroded. That may be the place where its easier for i want to ask you, lisa, about something something that surprised me the most between gingrich and becerra, that becerra representing clinton went after Donald Trumps wife and her immigration status. Were you surprised by that . No, i think this is something that the Clinton Campaign is starretting in attack. Weve seen articles questioning her immigration status, and if their line of attack proves to line of attack against donald trump who has made immigration sort of the Central Point of his campaign. Clearly if theres enough information there thats going to be devastating for his campaign, so i think its incumbent upon the donald Trump Campaign to prove them wrong and put that information out there. We should point out that her maiden name, came to this country long before she got involved with donald trump. Is this a new line of a from the Clinton Campaign . Their gold is to make voters not who he says he is, that he plays by different rules in his own life than he would as president and his policies. You see that also with his attacks in outsourcing. Hillary clinton has spent the last week slamming him for making his products overseas and moves jobs for bangladesh, china and all these places, so theyre trying to do what campaigns do undercut his nair tough. George, final thoughts on melanias status . They also may be trying to provoke him. He is provokable. When he is provoked, he goes on twitter and says interesting things that take up another two or three days. Were less than 90 days away from the election. Were not talking about 1. 2 of Economic Growth. Were not talking about things that might embarrass mrs clinton, something that might detonate an easily detonated candidate. We have to take a break. Well see you all a bit later. Questions about the it is cash payment to iran. Questions about the it is cash payment to iran. Well ask senator tom cotton, energy is a complex challenge. People want power. Questions about the it is cash payment to iran. Well ask senator tom cotton, and power plants account for more than a third of energyrelated carbon emissions. Exxonmobil is a leader in carbon capture. Our team is working to make this technology better, more affordable so it can reduce emissions around the world. Thats what were working on right now. . . Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Letterman has a line of clothing, now where were these made . Trump these were made, i dont know where theyre made. But they were made someplace. But theyre great. Its ties, shirts, cufflinks, everything sold at macys and theyre doing great. . Letterman . Where are the shirts made . . Offcamera voice . Bangladesh. . Letterman . Bangladesh. . Trump . Well, its good. We employ people in bangladesh. Letterman . Ties . Where are the ties made . They have to work, too. Are made in where . China . Offcamera voice . China. . Letterman . The ties are made in china. [ audience laughter ] i got shot down over vietnam and spent eleven months in a pow camp. What donald trump said about our members of the military being captured is a disgrace. Hes a war hero because he was captured. I like people that werent captured. When you fly over enemy territory, the odds might be against you being able to come home. Hes unfit to be president. Priorities usa action is responsible for the content of this advertising. A look outside the belt way at Marthas Vineyard where final Summer Vacation as commander in chief. Now to the 400 million cash payment to iran, which the administration maintains was not ransom, even though the exchange coincided with tehrans release of those four american hostages. Lets bring in senator tom cotton a member of the Armed Services committee and fierce critic of president obamas nuclear deal. Senator, weve known since the formal announcement of the iran the four american hostages that the u. S. Would pay iran 4. 7 million as settlement of a old arms deal. So why are you upset about this cash payment to iran this week . Chris, good to be on with you this morning. At the time i had that 1. 7 billion was a ransom itself, but the administration has consistently stonewalled congress and the American People. For instance. We dont know it was paid for with bills that could easily be laundered and used for terrorism or support of irans allies, and we didnt know the department of injures opposed it. I think its shocking to americans that the government was working likal drug cartel, stacking cash on pallets and flying it an airport. Let me quickly point out, if people are wondering, youre on the cotton family farm in arkansas. I must say it looks like a very nice place to be on this sunday. President obama didnt keep it a secret. He announced last january we were giving this money to iran. Lets look back at what he said. Iran and United States are now settled a longstanding iranian government claim a iran will be returned its own funds, including appropriate interest, but much less than the amount iran sought. Now, i understand the point you made in your first answer. Were talking about 400 million in cash, ahn unmarked plane, were talking about the hostages waiting on the tarmac until the plane landed, but you certainly would agree that the administration did not keep this payment, maybe the nature of it, but they didnt keep the payment secret. When you get 400 million in straight cash in 500 euro notes, a note notoriously used to terrorism around the world so much so that the European Union is taking it out of circulation, i think thats an important fact for the American People to know. At the time, i said paying not money that they deserved or had the right to on the very weekend that four americans were released ashes deal was implemented, that was a ransom payment and would lead to more hostages in iran. Former bush attorney general michael lieu casey, also a former federal judge, had an article this week in wall street journal under the headline legal but not right. Do you agree that whether you like it or not the payment was legal . And what do you plan to do about you cant undo it, but to try to stop it in the future. Lawyers disagree about the legality, but in the end its not a question whether it was legal, but whether it was mart and the right thing to do to keep americans safe. Again, president obama said we dont pay ransom this week. He said this was not a ransom. It doesnt matter what the president said, but is the matters what terrorists around the world think, clearly think it was a ransom. If they take a american hostage, may they too will get a windfall of 400 million. Bev to stands up to iran, chris. Ive introduced legislation with several calling the counteriranian threat act, that we need to act immediately after we go back in session question of iran. One of the concern is iran used this as, to support terrorism, but cia director john brennan said that thats not true. Lets listen to director brennan. The money, the revenue flowing into iran is being used to support its currency, to provide, you know, monies to the department and agencies to build up infrastructure. Is director brennan misleading the American People, senator . Well, when you give iran more than 100 doubt some of that money may go into domestic purposes. A lot of the support for terrorism groups like hezbollah may not require that much money. Even white house officials have said that some of this money likely ended up in the hands of terrorist organizations or revolutionary guard corps, as president obamas director of and commander in the middle east have said, irans behavior has gotten worse since the nuclear better. You opposed the Iran Nuclear Deal from the start. At the time it was announced, the general assessment was that iran was weeks at the most, months away from breakout at the time it could is assemble terr yell to create a nuclear bam. The breakout period has been brought back. Isnt that a good thing . Chris, the Nuclear Deal Still a failure. The fundamental objection was newt iran would break the deal, but uphold the terms and they would still be on the path to a Nuclear Weapon, because we allowed them to keep a vast is nuclear infrastructure. It only took north korea 12 years from the timew signed a deal to detonate a weapon. Many have said iran could walk away from the deal, because iran is violating the terms of the said they have examined their clan death inprocurement network to try to they continue to test Ballistic Missiles in violation of associated u. N. Security council resolution, so iran is not upholding its end of the deal, but even if they were, the deal would still by fundamentally still flawed, bay it allows them to keep the vast nuclear structure. Given the enact Hillary Clinton stepped down as secretary of state three years before any of this happened, is that fair . Well, Hillary Clinton was the architect of Barack ObamasForeign Policy in the first term and much of the groundwork for the negotiations that ultimately culminated in this deal did in fact begin unHillary Clinton. But you have to agree that she had nothing to do with the actual payment. The deciding to makes this payment like all decisions in the end rests at the feet of states. Its his job to keep our country safe. To pay a ransom i think clearly will not keep americans safe, especially when you see whats happened in iran since we made that payment. Youve been quiet about donald trump beyoirnd saying you support him. Given his fight with the khan family, given his comments about russia, that hes raised the policy that we wouldnt come to the aid of sure our nato how do you feel about Donald Trumps readiness to be commander . Chief . Chris, ive had my disagreements with donald trump, ive stated them clearly in the past and will in the future, he ought not to have said some of what he said, but Hillary Clinton ought not to have done the things she did. She was bon for the death of four in benghazi. She set up an unclassified server, and then she lied about just last week on your show, chris, shes lying about lying. All week been telling lie being her lies. Donald trump ought not to have said some things, but Hillary Clinton ought not to have so much so many things. Are you confidence that donald trump is ready to be commander in chief . I am confident if if the American People elect donald trump as president , that this country will be safer in the world, our streets will be safer, and we wll prosperous. Senator cotton, thank you, thanks for joining us, enjoy the rest of your family on the family farm in arkansas. Thanks, chris. Up next well bring back our sunday panel to get their take on the 400 million payment for iran and how it will play on the campaign trail. Plus what would you like to ask the panel about the timing of the payment to iran . Coincidental or cash for american capitaling . We have just learned about the 400 million ransom pate, just a coincident, right . Cash, care. We didnt pay a random. We didnt here and we wont in the future, precisely because if we did, we would encourage president obama and donald trump sharply at odds over the revelation of the cash payment to iran last january. Were back with a panel. George, when is 400 million in cash flown in in an unmarked cargo plane with four american hostages sitting and waiting on the tarmac, when is that ransom . And when is that a koirns dense . Optics are not good. Senator cotton said the whole 400 million was ransom, so he believes no legal claim is valid, derives from a shah era deal that was never consummated. There was a difference between what looks scandalous than a scandal. The cash makes it look terrible. The only reason to make it cash is untraceable. They could have done it without wait a minute. The president says the reason they had to do cash is because we have all these banking restrictions and sanctions. If we had tried to do it through a wire, they couldnt have gotten it. It seems they could have digitally bounced it off of somewhere. This is a way of einvestigating the letter of the law and they could have evaded it in some other way, truck she in passing saying were using this for infrastructure. Money is fungible. You give a nation 400 million. They have given them over 100 billion. Sure. Thats money they can use for something else. We asked you for questions for the panel, and we got a bunch like this one. Don james tweets can there be any legal repercussions against potus for ordering what is obviously ransom . Jerry, how do you answer john . The nub of the matter is, is this irans money or american money . In the view of the administration and most lawyers, this is irans money. It goes back to a 1979 deal in which the iranians bought under the shah some fighter jets that were never deliver. Interest thats been sitting in escrow ever since. If not taxpayer money its hard to see the resource. If it is taxpayer money, you have a different situation. I think the issue is not so much the payment, as you noted the president announced, its the manner and timing of the payment. Underneath all of that is a much bigger issue. Part of this effort to clear the decks with the iranians, the nuclear deal, the americans held hostage and this money, will that produce some change in iranian behavior . Or is this simply a which theyll pocket what they have and move on to the next, attempt to get more out of it . Thats the real question that hangs in the air here. Lisa lerer, what makes it harder for the op bama administration to argue, one of the pastors who was a hostage said they were sitting on the plane waiting to leave after years of capital activity, for hours while they were told that they were waiting everyone was ready we are to leave, and we are wait fog that plane. Until that plane comes, we are not let go. How worried is the campaign that this washes up on Hillary Clinton and her stewardship with obama and it becomes a campaign issue. Frankly its not something that they talked about in the last week. She dismissed it as old news say and she supportive of the nuclear deal and thinks thats the right approach. I think when you talk to clinton advisers privately, they see this underscores how donald trump is really not fit to be commander in chief. They point out several things that happened, which is essentially he made up facts. There was no video, as he later admitted. Hillary clinton he sort of blamed her for the whole negotiation, thats not quite true. She was out of the state case that dates back to the 70s. Of course he claims to have seen these payments happening that and he claimed it was secret. It wasnt secret. It was announced on january 17th. Not the 400 million in the unmarked cargo plane. Right, but the fact this settlement had been reached. So advisers are really focusing on that, that he made up facts. They had some basis for that. The post did an analysis of hi his description of the and he said nine untruffle things in 300 words. Thats what theyre focusing on. The interesting thing about that, lisa is just after trumped seemed for one of the rare times to walk back and say no, i didnt see video of the cash arriving in tehran, i saw the hostages get off a plane when they were freed from iran, there was an iranian documentary which seemed to show cash coming off apparently didnt see it. I dont think he did a good job explaining that clearly, but look toe senator tom cottons point he was pointing out it doesnt what the administration is saying or what they believe to be truffle, its the perception of iranians and other bad actors in the country. Thats the problem. You look at their own military saying it was a ransom deal and pointing at the weakness of the Obama Administration as a result. I regardless of what the details are, the perception of it is a ransom deal. Thinkty continues to undermine an embarrassing sequence of events since the implementation of this deal. Two weeks after the deal iran put ten u. S. Sailors on their knees, pointed guns at their head and shot a video and used that as propaganda. In march after the deal, iran shot their third Ballistic Missiles that flies in the face of international law. Unprecedented purchase of heavy water for nuclear purposes. You go to june and may where we had ben rhodes admitted to lying about the deal, deceiving the american public. As in june the Obama Administration doctoring video trying to give the illulgs that they didnt lie about the deal, and we also have in june the state department once again declared that iran is the Worlds Largest statesponsored one embarrassment after another which undercuts the deal, undercuts the Obama Administration on Foreign Policy as well as Hillary Clinton. I think you bring up a good point. Jerry, forget the deal, were going to forget about the 400 million over the next couple months, but the whole question of engaging iran and Hillary Clinton was clearly an architect of that under the order of barack obama, that is a legitimate issue in this campaign. How do you expect that to play . Continuing to be a bad actor, also have them further away from the Nuclear Weapon from the from when the deal started. This is the 10,000foot question, or clearly relations with iran is at an inflection point. The question is, does engagement produce over ten years a different kind of iran or simply produce the same kind of iran, just simply with more money in its pocket. Hillary clinton is going to argue one and donald trump will what were seeing now of in the bad behavior, is not a tip cape reaction by the hardliners, and said its a last gasp of the hardline . Or is it a sign that nothing has changed and nothing will ever change . Who has the better sigh of this argument. Its going to be over the next 30 months, because thats when voters will have to make their judgment. Overlap with the electoral cycle and the cycle of policy. Its akin to the policy in the cold war, were going to hold the line and wait for internal regime change. It did work. The regime disappeared. Were wagering now a very different kind of regime, a theocratic regime can be as pliable and changeable as the soviet union. Thats a big wager, and we wont know the answer. Bu going to take the critics view of this or the Clinton Obama view . I dont think it will matter a lot until theres an event. If theres a terrorist event here or abroad, that the change mountain, and all eyes are on a swimmer who has since become americans sweetheart. Here is our power player of the week. Wake up at 4 15, practice from 5 to 6 30, go to school. Her scud. She has no thoughts of slowing down. Is that effort too much . No, ive gotten used to it. I think the swimming has helped my schoolwork. Schoolwork and school day always helps my swimming. It goes bo ways, i guess. It certainly seems to be working. What World Records do you hold . 400 hundred dollars frees. She had just started her senior year at a private high school outside washington. How stuff is it to be a normal teenager . Its not tough at all. Its been a lot of fun the past couple years, swimming and going to school. Is there any time for boys . No, i dont have a boyfriend and never have. Katie started swinging competitively at 6. Form. By the time she was 8, she was starting to win. You can improve that time and thats a result of what you do every day in practice. I think you can see the correlation. Numbers dont lie. Exactly. Numbers dont lie, and they show what you do in practice. I like that aspect of it. In 2012 at age 15, she made the olympic team, but she was no favorite. I would have been happy got first or last. I was just grateful to be at the olympics. I didnt have many expectations for myself. And what happened . I won. It was a threat night. This is the 2012 olympic goal in the 800. May i . It is gorgeous, isnt it . Yeah. Its a nice keepsake.
