Senator Robert Menendez in his First Television interview since his indictment on bribery charges. Its a Fox News Sunday exclusive. Plus, the Police Shooting of an unarmed black man in South Carolina reignites the debate over race and justice. The system is working and please dont politicize this. It is working. Our sunday group weighs in. And our power play of the week redskins quarterback, robert griffin, iii on football and his unique foundation. This is not just the money. Its about the relationships. All right now on Fox News Sunday. And hello again from fox news in washington. The 2016 president ial field is starting to come into focus. On the democratic side, Hillary Clinton entering the race as the clear favorite for her partys nomination. For republicans florida senator marco rubio set to announce tomorrow joining rand paul and ted cruz in what shapes as a crowded gop contest. Here to discuss that and more the 2012 nominee, mitt romney. Governor, welcome back to Fox News Sunday. Thanks, chris. Good to be with you. Lets start with Hillary Clintons entry into the president ial race. What do you think is the most effective way for republicans to make the case against her . Well i think the American People are making that case already. Youve seen in polls and in discussions across the country a feeling that Hillary Clinton is just not trustworthy. This whole story about her having erased all of her emails even though they were subject to recall and review by congress i think thats made people remember that with the clintons its always something. And i think also the fact that shes been there a long time. Shes a creature of washington. How many years did she say, 18 years she hasnt driven a car. Shes been driven by secret service and other securities. Shes been there a long time. I think people want to see change, want to see something new and Hillary Clinton is just not that person. Lets talk also about her policy agenda top clinton advisers say she is going to frame the economic message around the idea of fighting for the middle class and that shes a pragmatist who can make washington work, which seems to be little bit implied criticism to barak obama placed specifically on economics. Shell talk about responsible capitalism and say this in effect Business Needs to be responsible in how they make money and what they need to give back to society. Governor romney your reaction to that idea of responsible capitalism . Well, theres no question that businesses have to be responsible and have to follow the law and have to do whats in the best interest of their employees and shareholders and customers and suppliers. Theres nothing new in the message. The real charge shell have is running away from Foreign Policy. Shes been the secretary of state for four years. And the Clinton Barak obama Foreign Policy has been a bust. You see that around the world. The world is not safer. Shell try to run away from Foreign Policy. It will be an issue that dogs her throughout the campaign. Lets turn to what looks like will be a very crowded republican field. You say that you are going to be i love this phrase, aggressively neutral but there are some reports that you may have a soft spot for florida senator marco rubio who is announcing tomorrow. You say that the party has to connect with minorities. Hes a hispanic american. You say its time to turn to the next generation of republican leaders. Hes in his 40s. And frankly i was surprised to see how many members of your 2012 staff are working for rubio this time. Do you have a kind of soft spot for rubio . I have a soft spot for almost all the folks that are running for president in 2016 on our side. Very close to jeb bush. He and i have been friends for a long time and served together for governors. Chris christie and i get together a lot and enjoy his company. Im just getting to know scott walker a little better. Marco campaigned for me in 2012. Did a very nice job. Theres a lot of good folks. I met with Carly Lindsey graham is one of the funniest people i know. So theres a good crowd of people. Rand paul has been kind enough to come out and speak at my conference a couple of times. So, weve got a good group and frankly i think we have the advantage of having an exciting debate in the republican party. Its going to go on throughout the primary season. Compared to the democrats side, it looks like it will be quiet over there. Well have the energy, the eyeballs of america on our process and im looking forward to see who it is that is able to get some distance and become our nominee. But, you know, theres a downside to that and you saw it to some degree in 2012 in which the long drawnout primary fight may have moved you and may have moved the party too far to the right for the general election. In the last couple of weeks there was a controversy over these religious freedom laws in arkansas and indiana. All of the republican president ial candidates supported the law but there was a backlash that they had to fix the laws to explicitly to rule out any discrimination against gays. And i guess the question i have is, do things like that, where you have republican pieces of legislation and such a backlash that the republican governors of arkansas and indiana had to, quote, fix them, does that make this party or run the risk of making this party look out of touch . Well, there of course will be circumstances that arise laws or events that happen in the world and each side is going to try to take advantage of those things politically. The democrats did that. Those that were very concerned about some of these issues, made it a big issue. Its appropriately something that has to be considered. I think jeb bush said it well. He said, look we have a couple of principles in this country that are fundamental. One is people have the right to worship god according to the dictates of their own conscious. At the same time, we oppose discrimination. Legislatures have to har mon niez them and it will be a process that will have bumps and starts and legislatures will have to make corrections from time to time. I know that there will be people who try to take political advantage of that circumstance but its an important series of topics and we have to work at it and hopefully give people the benefit of the doubt as they try to wrestle with ways to try to protect both of those fundamental principles. You saw in 2012 on the issue of immigration, isnt there a danger that an appeal to the base to try to win the primaries youre forced to say things or take positions that could end up hurting you in the general election. Well, i do think that people running for office whether in the past or in the future will stick to the principles that they have, but sometimes during these debates the moderators focus on issues that are highly with divisive issues and end up having people pull away from us, so i think the Republican National committee is probably wise to say hey, lets have eight to ten debates. Lets not have 20 or 22 debates like we had because at some point you just keep on rehashing some of the same attack lines that are coming from the left. Senator rand paul is toughening and he just got into the race this last week is toughening some of his Foreign Policy positions. Now he supports foreign aid to israel. Now he supports a bigger defense budget, but theres a conservative National Security group that put out a very tough ad against him. Take a look at this. Rand paul supports obamas negotiation with iran. And he doesnt understand the threat. You know its ridiculous to think that theyre a threat to our National Security. Rand paul is wrong and dangerous. Governor is rand paul too soft on National Security . Well were going to get a better chance to see exactly where rand paul is on these issues. He wasnt a senator ten years ago. He is now a United States senator. He is experiencing whats happening in the world and i think as he gets greater perspective, he will be very clear on where he stands on Foreign Policy issues and well give him the benefit of the doubt, take what he says today and that will be the platform he runs with as a candidate for president if he gets into this race. Well, no, hes in the race. He got in last week. I know its hard im sorry. I havent kept my score card up as to who is actually officially in and who is just kind of in. So, let me ask you a Foreign Policy question because youve been quite critical of president obamas negotiation with iran. What i want to ask you is whats the alternative . If on the one hand you have the deal that the president seems to be working out with the iranians right now and on the other hand you have taking military action to try to degrade or destroy Irans Nuclear infrastructure, whats the alternative in terms of finding a way to a deal that there is any realistic chance that the iranian leaders will accept . Well, first of all, you have to have effective negotiators and president obama and john kerry have been amateur negotiators have not done the job they should have done. The alternative is pretty straight forward that is to return to put in place more and more crippleing, tightening sanctions so iran feels more and more pressure and is more willing to come to the bargaining table willing to give things up as opposed to us going to the bargaining table and giving things up. Look, the president was saying theres no reason for iran to have which is developing advanced Nuclear Technology and plutonium. He was right. He drew a red line. But there doesnt seem to be a read line the president meets that he is not willing to walk away from. And this is another circumstance where hes walking away from that just trying to get a deal done and a bad deal is not as good as no deal. And the right thing to do is to cripple cripple them with tougher sanctions, bring them back to the negotiating table six months or year from now and get the kind of agreement that doesnt do what happened with north korea. Dont forget what were doing is going down the same path we went with north korea. North korea now has a bomb. They have technology they send to others around the world. This deal that the president has laid out is not the kind of deal that will protect us and protect the world. Couple of final areas i want to get into with you. Democratic leader, harry reid, took to the senate floor in august of 2012 and declared flatly that you had not paid any taxes, any income taxes for the previous ten years. He didnt offer any substantiation for that. He was asked about that the other day and did he have any regrets and he said, well romney didnt win, did he . And then he said this take a look no apologies to mitt romney . Nonwhatsoever zero none. Question is that just political hardball or did harry reid go over the line, sir . He surely went over the line but disappointed in harry reid. Thats really not appropriate for someone in his position to make unsubstantiated claims and of course theyre entirely wrong. I wish we could somehow go back and pay no taxes but the truth is i paid a lot of taxes, released tax returns so people could see that and harry, i guess just isnt big enough to admit it. What do you think of harry reid . I think he was effective in his party but terribly ineffective in pursuing an agenda thats right for america. Im glad he is retiring and i wish him well in his retirement. But im glad he is out of the senate soon. Finally, and this kind of pains me but i must say i have real admiration, you finished in the 99. 9th percentile in your march madness bracket. You picked all of the final four. You picked duke to win the championship and i have one question, how the heck did you do that, governor . Well, you know, i looked at the capabilities of the team, i looked also what the attitude of the team would be, overconfident versus challenging underdogs and i looked at the experience of the coach. And all that together accounted for 10 of my success. And 90 was luck so im not going to fill out another bracket. This was the high point. Im retiring after some success. Did you get any help or was that all mitt romney . I got no help whatsoever. I got the bracket, filled it out in a relatively short amount of time and then crossed my fingers. Well since youre not going to do any more brackets, if i call you next march, would you give me some help . Absolutely. You bet, chris. Ill give you all the help i got. No it wont do any better than my prior brackets. Governor romney, thank you. Thanks for coming in today. Always good to talk with you, sir. Thanks, chris. Up next unarmed black man killed by a white Police Officer in South Carolina, but is the case being politicized . Our sunday group joins the conversation. Plus what would you like to ask the panel about Hillary Clinton getting into the race for the white house . Just go to facebook or twitter foxnewssunday and we may use your question on the air. The pursuit of healthier. It begins from the second were born. After all, healthier doesnt happen all by itself. It needs to be earned. Every day. From the smallest detail to the boldest leap. Healthier means using wellness to keep away illness. Knowing a prescription is way more than the pills. And believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others. Healthier takes somebody who can power modern health care. By connecting every single part of it. Realizing cold hard data can inspire warmth and compassion. And that when Technology Meets expertise. Everything is possible. For as long as the world keeps on searching for healthier. Were here to make healthier happen. Optum. Healthier is here. Our sunday group joins the lets talk. Lets chat. Lets start a dialogue about your ideas and mine. Because the conversation in washington has been just a little onesided lately, dont you think . Email account to conduct official business. I want to reset relations with russia. Not really working out. Catastrophicic move for Hillary Clinton. Hillary clintons warm and fuzzy announcement of her candidacy eight years ago and a republican attack ad released this week before clinton got into the race. And its time now for our sunday group. Fox news senior political analyst brit hume. Welcome back. Usa today columnist kirsten powers. Syndicated columnist george will and charles lane. Brit, theres been a lot of talk about how clinton is going to take a softer more intimate approach this time than eight years ago. What struck me looking back at that video, thats exactly the kind of tact, the tone she set last time. It seems to be her goto move. What do you see going in . What are her strengths and weaknesses on day one . She has huge advantages. Better known than any democrat in america or any democrat running in this election year. She has tremendous body of support and supporters that dates back years. She has a huge fund raising apparatus. She has professional people around her. She has long experience. She knows the issues but at the same time she has tremendous baggage. Do American People really want another four eight years with the clinton and their weird marriage . Do they really want more of the kind of behavior the Deceptive Behavior we saw with regard to the emails and all the rest of it which is so redolent of clinton administrations and clinton experiences past. And theres the fact that the public is hungry for someone new, she is not somebody new. She is old, she is not the new. We ask you for questions for the panel and we got this question on facebook for Hillary Clinton from joan, she writes to clinton how do you explain your silence from benghazi and destroying information from your private server . Take a look at what we got today. This was sent out to political reporters all over the country, i guess, who might have something to do with the campaign it is a fun drive sent by the rnc which supposedly you plug into your computer and it has, quote, secret Hillary Clinton emails. Kirsten theres nothing on it. My question is do you think this is at least in the beginning, wont last for the whole campaign, a good tact for the republicans to take whether its the specifics of the scandal or just what it brings up about kind of secretiveness and entitlement of the clinton . The minute they saban ga si theyll lose a lot of people. Whatever you think about the merits of the situation, the democrats did a very good job convincing people thats for people who hate Hillary Clinton and conspiracy theorists. She will be able to turn that around. The email thing will dog her but to a certain extent, people who have been in the public eye for as long as Hillary Clinton, people made up their mind about her. They are not developing new opinions of her. So people who like her know that shes secretive. This is not a new thing. I dont think theyre going to change their position for supporting Hillary Clinton over it. But you do see her ratings on trustworthiness and honesty have taken a hit. They have. But when you ask the same people do you think shes a good leader they say yes. If the republicans go overboard on it i can guarantee you they will, she will turn it around and turn it oh here they come with their clinton hatred and shell be able to turn it around to her advantage. Perhaps the most explosive story this week certainly the most surprising was this horrific video of a white Police Officer shooting a black man repeatedly in the back and by the end of the week, Hillary Clinton sent out this tweet heart breaking and too familiar. We can do better. Rebuild trust, reform Justice System, respect all lives. But senator Lindsey Graham pushed back. With all due respect to Hillary Clinton i think were proving in South Carolina that our Justice System is working. Given the fact that the Police Officer was fired from the force, charged with murder and is being held without bail, does Lindsey Graham have a point . He absolutely does. The default position of the Justice Department with florida to Trayvon Martin to ferguson, missouri, racism is so undiminished to force in the American Life, local institutions cannot be trusted. What were seeing is some phenomenon how technology this thing the smart phone is changing capabilities which change expectations which changes rights at the end of time. Weve got an enormous number of litigations all over the country about the right of people to film Public Officials in the performance of their duties. Most especially of course policemen who have the lethal force of the state behind them. And this is going to change American Life profoundly and for the better. You know, i must say chuck, i was struck by that part of Hillary Clintons tweet too familiar, which made it sound like this is the kind of thing that goes on all the time. Of course that was the narrative in ferguson hands up, dont shoot, get shot in the back as we now know it didnt happen after multiple investigations. So what do you think Hillary Clinton saying, well what happened in South Carolina, too familiar . I think its a fact that the democrats have treated these incidents as an opportunity to remind a big part of their Political Base namely africanamericans that the Democratic Party is on their side to put it very politely. Now to Lindsey Graham, thats politicizing. To me, thats the natural response of a party to one of its constituent groups. She is playing that same game. But to georges point, i think what we have here is a big difference between what happened in ferguson and what happened in South Carolina. Basically the local officials responded much more transparently, not just in pressing charges against the officer, but talking about it more openly and expressing but of course it was a much different incident. Thats the key different facts. This situation where the guy is running away and we have video of it. But thats the point where i somewhat disagree or would put a variation on with george, with all this accountability and transparency be happening without that citizen and his cell phone . Im a little less sure. Because these Police Officers theres some indication they were ready to put on a coverup and sweep this under the rug. That is something that is quite familiar and does happen in a lot of cases. Its unknowable. Im not sure its so unknowable. There is evidence. I want to get into one other Political Development this week, that was rand paul, his first week his bumpy rollout and part of it may be the highlight or low light is when he tangled with a woman reporter. Take a look. Why dont you ask me a question, have i changed my opinion . That would be a better way to approach an interview. Okay. Is iran still not a threat . No, no no no, no. Listen, youve editor alized. Let me answer your question. Kirsten, youre shaking your head. I dont buy into the woman thing as much. He just came off as really not ready for primetime. And one of the problems first of all, savannah is not some hyperpartisan terrible interviewer to start with. She was asking normal questions and he was lying to her. I mean, on one of the questions where she was asking him something very valid about whether he cut off foreign aid and he did. So, hes put forward a bill basically saying im going to zero out foreign aid and specifically spoke about israel and is acting all self righteous. He needs to answer the questions. If he cant he shouldnt be running for president. Is rand pauls i guess well call it grumpiness a legitimate issue, brit . Well, its a hindrance to an effective campaign. When youre tangled in disputes with television anchor people, youre not making your case. Hes in a crowded field. Hes a relative new comer to the national politics. Hes got he seems to be forming his opinions as he goes and he cant afford to have this kind of stuff going on, even though it is certainly the case from time to time when a conservative politician hauls off and delivers a hay maker to some news person that that plays well with conservative voters, but you cant make a career of it and he seemed this week or in recent times to be doing too much of it to me. Panel, we have to take a break. Well see you later in the program. Up next, one of the Obama Administrations fearest critics on Iran Nuclear Talks and restore ties with cuba. Democratic senator Robert Menendez in his First Television interview since being indicted on bribery charges. I care deeply about the gulf. I grew up in louisiana. I went to school here. Ive been with bp ever since. Today, i lead a team that sets our Global Safety standards. After the spill we made two commitments. To help the gulf recover and become a safer company. Weve worked hard to honor both. Bp has spent nearly 28 billion dollars so far to help the gulf economy and environment. And five years of Research Shows that the gulf is coming back faster than predicted. Weve toughened Safety Standards too. Including enhanced training. And 24 7 on shore monitoring of our wells drilling in the gulf. And everyone has the power to stop a job at any time if they consider it unsafe. What happened here five years ago changed us. Im proud of the progress weve made both in the gulf and inside bp. A look outside the beltway at miamis Little Havana neighborhood. President obama met with cuban president rule castro this weekend as the two leaders keep working on a new relationship between the u. S. And cuba. This as mr. Obama continues to sell his framework for a nuclear deal with iran. We want to drill down on both issues with democratic senator Robert Menendez, a critic of u. S. Policy. This is his First Television interview since he was indicted two weeks ago. Senator menendez welcome to Fox News Sunday. Good to be with you, chris. Before we discuss and i promise we will these serious policy issues i think we have to deal with the case against you right at the start. Federal prosecutors have charged you with bribery for accepting almost 1 million in gifts, rides on private jets and Campaign Contributions in return they say your office helped dr. Solomon mel gin with three problems including millions in dollars of medicare billings. Senator, i know that the doctor is a longtime friend of yours but in accepting these gifts and in helping him with business, theres no other way to ask the question, did you portray the public trust . Absolutely not, chris. And when all the facts are known, of course prosecutors take out snip pets of story to make their case, we will have an opportunity in court to make the entire case. When all of the facts are known, i know that i will be vindicated and we will win. What i have been doing over the 40 years of Public Service that ive had is fight for the people of my state of new jersey to get them back into their homes after super storm sandy, to make sure that we pass laws against the rate shock they were facing on flood insurance, to help the Autism Community be able to help their loved ones and pass major laws signed by the president and to fight for our National Security against a nucleararmed iran, among other things and thats what i have been doing and thats what i will continue to do. Senator, its been suggested i must say without much evidence that the Obama Administration may have brought this prosecution against you because you are such a critic of Administration Policy on cuba and iran as were going to get to in a moment. Do you think that had anything to do with this case . Look, its very clear that i have very strong views about democracy and human rights in cuba and a policy that i think undermines our efforts to promote democracy and human rights in cuba about a very clear concern to the National Security of the United States and ally to the state of israel and iran and its Nuclear Weapon ambitions but i cannot imagine that an administration, this or any other, would go to such lengths and undermine our constitutional democracy. All right. Lets turn to cuba, president obama, met a historic meeting this weekend with cuban president raul castro and he seemed determined to normalize relations between the United States and cuba after 50 years of isolation. He also seems determined to take cuba off the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Two questions, what did you think of yesterdays meeting and what do you think of the president s action on the terror the state sponsors of terror list . Well, look, i think theres a fundamental problem in this process. Number one f youre going to give the cubans just about everything they want international recognition, take them off the list of state sponsors of terrorism and infuse their economy with money at a time in which venezuela could no longer continue to carry them as the patron and for which there was a real opportunity to create change inside of cuba then you should have gotten something significant in return and we got nothing in terms of people of cuba, in terms of human rights and democracy we saw at this summit that human rights activists and political disdents were attacked by castros bullies. So the reality is to take cuba off the list of state sponsor of terrorisms when we have a woman who killed a new jersey state trooper and is on the fbis list of the ten most wanted terrorists, a cuba that ultimately violated u. N. Security sanctions against shipping arms to north korea or that recently had a cargo that was being shipped to it that the columbians stopped with arms which are probably going to go to the farq or the sep ratists out of spain and whole host of other fugitives. If you can violate International Arms items and have terrorists in your country it seems to me that thats not a country you take off your terrorist list. If this is so misguided and if cuba is doing nothing to relax political oppression, why is the president doing it . Well i think the president has a misguided calculation that if you open your hands to dictators that they will unclinch their fists. And while raul castro may have said nice things about president obama at the same time, just last month we had 600 arrests of innocent people inside of cuba who were detained, Many Political activists and human rights act vigss who were not allowed to lee the country to go to the panama summit and last year we had 1,600 detentions and still many long prisoners languishing in castros jails. When you say that and provide those facts as well as their violations of armed shipments and con tro vengs to International Law and whole host of other things like having one of the ten top terrorists of the fbi list in their country then people change their attitude about what this policy is all about. Lets turn to iran and as weve said you have been a very tough critic of president obamas efforts to negotiate a nuclear deal with iran in effect one point you said Administration Arguments sounded like, your words, talking points straight out of teheran. Here is what irans Supreme Leader said this week about the United States translator the other party who is stubborn treacherous and hard to deal with and is known to be after trickery after haggling, after stabbing others in the back the ayatollah says all sanctions must be lifted right away when the deal is signed, not lifted gradually as iran complies with the deal, they also he also says that there can be no inspection of military instillations where it is believed that a lot of work particularly in weaponization of a nuclear bomb is going on. When you hear these kinds of comments from the Supreme Leader what does it tell you about the framework the president says he got from the iranians . Well this is my concern, first of all, chris, we have gone from the national imperative, we have had globally, to stopping Nuclear Proliferation to trying to contain or administer it. That is a fundamental change in our global policy. Secondly, many of us before the Framework Agreement was announced said is this going to be in writing because if in fact, its not in writing then youll have different interpretations and sure enough you have different interpretations, you have different interpretations on sanctions relief. The iranians shouldnt get a signin bonus. Secondly you have different interpretations about research and development, thats critically important because how far can they advance their research and developments . At some point their breakout could even be shorter. Thirdly these inspections are incredibly important. They still have not come clean with the international atonic Energy Administration over their past militarization efforts weaponizing their nuclear program. So, we need to know how far did they get in their weaponization efforts so that we understand not only the breakout time but how quickly they can weaponize that effort. All of these and many other elements are clearly in dispute. Thats why i do believe that you know, the legislation that senator corker and i have to give congress a rightful role, particularly a role when it is the one who passed the laws that ultimately provided the sanctions that got iran to the table, to have a say on whatever a final agreement is. Okay. So lets get into that. The Corker Menendez bill that you coauthored with the chairman of the Senate Foreign relations committee. If an agreement is finally signed, it would give congress 60 days to review and either approve or disapprove or take no action on that deal. The white house is apparently pressuring democrats to back off so that there wont be a vetoproof majority and the president has to veto this bill if it passes that his veto will stand up. Have you gotten any pressure from the administration or some of its supporters to try to back off this bill and are you going to insist are you going to stand firm on the idea mandatory congressional review of this deal . Well, chris, im not going to talk about conversations that ive had recently as it relates to advocacy on this bill well, senator the reason im asked the question im told in fact somebody was talked to you about backing off. Well let me just simply say im not backing off. I honestly believe that it is congressional duty i would say to all my colleagues who believe there was a congressional duty here to review whatever agreement comes about. This is simply a review process. That review may determine at the end of the day people may think it is an inappropriate deal. There may or may not be a vote. But at least after 2 1 2 years of negotiation that congress should have 60 days to be able to review probably the most significant Nuclear Nonproliferation agreement of our times one that impedes our national that can risk our National Security as well as of our ally the state of israel. Senator, you also have a measure in this bill which would mandate that the president must certify that iran has stopped its terror actions against the u. S. Are you going to insist that that stay in the bill . Well im going to work with chairman corker to assure that we have a bill. Look, this is not about, as some would suggest, jamming the administration. This is about having a responsible congressional role. If there is a better way to have that certification, then the way its written, im certainly open to considering it but what i am not open to considering is delaying and or not pursuing a vote for the congress to ultimately have a process, an organized thoughtful process to review any final deal that may be achieved. And i believe such a process no way undermines any potential negotiation from here to june. Again, ten seconds left, were not talking because the administration says, well, a nonbinding vote, something that would be a sense of the senate, youre not talking about that are you . Im not talking about that. Im talking about an opportunity for reviewing any final agreement in which the possibility could exist of a vote or maybe the Congress Wont take any vote and any vote by the way as we devise it in the cork r menendez bill would have a have a 60 threshold. This would have to be a bipartisan view. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. Up next, we bring back the panel to discuss iran and restoring diplomatic relations with cuba.

I think we are not in a position to move on a path towards the future and leave behind some of the circumstances of the past. President obama during what he called a historic meeting this weekend with cuban president raul castro as the two leaders continue efforts to restore diplomatic registrations between the u. S. And cuba. Were back now with the panel. Brit, what do you make of president obamas continuing push to normalize relations with cuba and what seems very apparent that in a short matter of time he is going to remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terror. The question you would have is what is cuba going to do to alter the behavior to remove some of the behaviors f you will, that led to their being placed on the list in the first place. This is the question with barak obama and his dealing with foreign leaders especially ones that were hostile to the United States. Hell open the door or lift the sanctions or whatever it is, what is he getting in return . The criticism of him and some of it has been valid is he gets very little in return and that is what we would worry would be the case here with cuba. Well, thats interesting because i think its clear to say that the hope is that with engagement that cuba will relax its political system. Take a look at this and this goes directly to what senator menendez just said. This is what happened since president obama announced the relaxation of the relations with cuba. There were 178 political detentions in cube in january, 492 in february and 610 in march. Kirsten, as in the iran talks are we making all the concession and the other side are making none . These are longterm relationships that you build. Shouldnt you get something . You often cant with these type of governments. Look, the idea first of all, i dont know who can think that these sanctions have done accomplished anything that this policy with cuba has accomplished anything in the first place. The second thing is we have relationships with terrible governments Close Relationships with terrible governments like saudi arabia, for example, if you want to talk about oppressive governments and people who foemt a lot of trouble in the world. Second of all china china does everything cuba does times 100. We still have a relationship with them and i think we should have a relationship with them. Engagement is the way to move country ace long. The fact that barak obama hasnt gotten something immediately its a failure. Its a step in the right direction. I want to move to iran. Brit, quickly your response. This engagement makes me think of Ronald Reagan and chester crocker. South africa. His view was we needed to have constructive engagement. Because of that it would open things up. It didnt ever really work then subsequently sanctions were imposed and over time judging by the results the sanctions did work. Over a very short period of time, though. Weve been doing this with cuba for decades. Its not making any difference. Hes not changing. I mean constructive engagement will work here . You think cuba is going to change . The trouble with cuba is nothing works, guys, because theyre absolutely determined to maintain an iron fist there and said so all week long. In fact they sent thugs to panama to make that vividly in the summit. The purpose of the policy or the results if any will be things that benefit u. S. Business which will trade with them, wealthy americans with lots of Discretionary Income can run around the beaches of cuba, but i dont think any disdents will get out ahead in the short run. Then, there are the Nuclear Talks with iran. The Big Development this week is that that country supremely the ayatollah seemed to walk away from a lot of the supposed agreements in the framework deal that president obama announced. Take a look at this. Translator the statement that they issued and called the fact sheet was bogus for the most part. No unconventional method of inspection which can turn the ids lammic republican of iran turn special case in terms of inspection is acceptable at all. George what do you think . Is the ayatollah just playing to his Political Base, the hard liners in teheran or is this deal that the president so proudly announced in the rose garden not really a deal yet . Well, if the ayatollah means what he says then the Framework Agreement is 98 framework and 2 agreement. Because the sanctions and the inspections are the heart of the on going negotiation between now and the end of june or wherever they come to an end. This is really reminiscent of the cold war. During the cold war and our arms controlled negotiation with the soviet union, america was saying you have to concede more to whomever because of the hawks and the kremlin who were to the right of this peaceloving fellow who wanted accommodation with the United States. Sometimes, sometimes dictators mean exactly what they say. On the eve of second world war, hitler said if the jews bring on the second world war, in his framework, the jews caused everything. President obama said this week that the negotiation, these negotiation are the, quote, best bet by far to prevent iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon. After the events of this week and the ayatollah statements chuck, do you still believe that . I guess i no longer understand these negotiation because you have a situation where the Supreme Leader stands up and says the United States and barak obama are a bunch of liars. Back stabbers. Yes. You cant trust them. The administrations response is dont worry, he is a liar. He doesnt really mean what he just said. And i think the serious point here is that when the ayatollah does this, what he does is he moves the goal posts back a little bit and hes trying to leverage further concessions from the Administration Just to get the administration back to the point where it thought it already was at the end of the talks in switzerland. So i guess i come down somewhere in the middle. I think he does mean what he says but i think he is doing it for a tactical reason which is to just continue raising the pressure on the president who very precipitously declared victory at the end of this thing in switzerland before all the is were dotted. Was in effect a new demand and if it is the question arises will the administration concede on this as it has on so much else already on sanctions that they have to be relieved immediately and also on the inspections. Yeah. Those are the two critical parts of the deal as we understand it. One is that the sanctions can be snapped back into place when the inspections determine that theres been a violation. Now, theres great deal of skepticism about the effectiveness of the inspections even more so in light of comments this week and then theres the question if you ever got the sanctions regime lifted difficult to impose and sustain it to begin with whether you could ever quote, snap them back into place. Thoughtful people think thats unlikely. The Supreme Leader is saying no snap backs. Right. Also saying no inspections placed like parchin which is where the military base where they did the weaponization, other than that, its a deal. Thank you, panel. Up next, our power player of the week washington red skin quarterback, rg3, on giving back, three families at a time. Ychltd one of the joys of this job is to sit down and talk with people you admire. Sometimes you leave liking them more than when you went in. Here is your power player of the week. We will give them money but were also going to give them our time, our networks and allow them to continually grow, to not only get to where they want to be but to maintain that. Robert griffin, iii is talking about his family of 3 foundation and how it is different. You mean a lot to me. They raise money for a variety of causes. But they also plan to find three families each year and bring them into the griffin family. To incorporate them into the everyday process of what a family is, you know, whether its thanksgiving dinner, easter celebrations, those kind of things we want to be able to let them enjoy that and let us enjoy it, too. Last summer griffin and his wife rebecca made a surprise visit to the home of tim and shannon maxwell. A marine kernel he suffered a traumatic brain injury in iraq but the maxwells started a fund to help other wounded soldiers. Griffin gave them a check and a promise. Its not just the money its about the relationship. And you know we want you guys to be in contact with us all the time. Were going to try to help you out in as many ways as we possibly can. Thank you ever so much. My dad served 21 years and my mom did 13 so through that process, they taught me that i always have to give back. The foundation slogan is go catch your dream. And griffin seemed to have caught his when he was the rookie of the year quarterback for the Washington Redskins in 2012. But the last two years have been rough serious injuries and lots of criticism. Did it turn out to be tougher and meaner than you thought it would be . I dont know. I dont know how to answer that. Its an interesting league, lets just put it that way. And theres talk the redskins may draft another quarterback to replace him. Does it hurt your feelings . Come on, man. The way i look at it is as long as im here with the Washington Redskins and they say im the guy then im the guy. Im ready to go. Right now griffin is more concerned about another addition, he and rebecca expect their first child next month. We dont know what it is but if its a boy, it will be a iv. If its a girl is it roberta griffin. No its not. Come on, man, im not George Foreman. Im not doing that. In case youre wondering boxer George Foreman named each of his five sons, george. Griffin has an am by shaus agenda. He is getting a masters degree in communications and considering law school. I just try to make sure everyday that im blessed to live on this earth that i seize that day. Im 25 and i know im getting older with each passing second. I need to seize every one of those seconds and make sure im doing as much as i possibly can in the community to know we worked hard for this and to instill that into everybody around me is truly my goal. Griffin even auctioned off his ankle cast for 1,500 to raise money for his foundation. If you want to learn more about the family of 3, please go to our website, foxnewssunday. Com.
