terror. there s more than 80 lawsuits that have been successfully prosecuted through the courts. despite this, not one cent has been paid by iran. so gop leadership talking. we ll keep an eye on that as well as the hearing going on on capitol hill on plant par parenthood. we ll bring that to you when it gets under way. russian president vladimir putin didn t even spend the night in new york. speaking before the u.n. in the morning, sitting down with president obama for a 90-minute meeting before leaving town. afterward the white house called it a broad-stroke conversation about the conflicts in syria and ukraine. putin himself described it as constructive but indicated the two men are still very far apart on key issues. mark ginsburg is with me this morning. ambassador, good to see you. good morning. the new york times described putin s speech to the u.n. as proof that putin wants to be the world s premier antagonist to u.s. power. indeed. i read the speech and it looks like
in syria. they are going to support assad along with hezbollah, along with the iranians, to keep him in power. syria will ultimately be partitioned. the united states have declared that assad had to go. that policy is out the window. there s a real recognition that the president s policy in syria is a failure and that the russians are now going to so-called keep assad in power, and any talk of so-called managed transition is something that s a figure leaf. it sort of camouflages what both the israelis, the russians and just about everybody else in the region except saudi arabia around turkey want, which is that if assad goes, then isis will come. that s what no one wants. ambassador ginsburg, thank you very much for your time. sure. now back to capitol hill. john boehner is speaking. let s listen in for a bit. not at all.
the administration know how many there are. and secretary kerry has said that even he has not seen all of these deals. now, you have to take secretary kerry at his words. but let s assume for this argument, jose, that there are separate deals, that there are secret deals between the iaea and iran and they re going to pose a problem for the administration that is argued consistently that it has a verification regime in place that is bar none. ambassador ginsburg, thank you very much. appreciate you being on to clear up this complicated and convoluted situation. it is. meantime, getting a look at the messages that triggered the fbi investigation into hillary clinton s personal e-mail. investigators are now trying to determine whether clinton s private serve. contained classified material while she was secretary of state. peelt wi pete williams is with me. what do we know this morning?
would have assuaged the concerns of senator schumer and others, it may make it easier for democratic members to support the deal. all right, thank you, ambassador ginsburg, thanks again as always. let s turn to peter welt, a defense subcommittee member who supports this deal. congressman, thanks for being here. as you know, as the chief deputy whip in the white house, in the house, rather i m already promoting you to places and titles that do not exist what does opposition by the likes of senator schumer as the ambassador and i were talking about add to that at least nine house democrats that are now saying, hey, they don t want this to get done. what does that mean to you as you try to push this forward? well, i take the concerns of the ambassador expressed and some of my colleagues have he can pressed including senator schumer very strongly. and this is a very scary thing to do because we re negotiating with an adversary.
considering this option as well but they ve obviously hit a bottleneck here or it wouldn t be taking so long and they re blaming each other and the rhetoric has become sharper. foreign minister shareef saying the other side has to show iran respect and stot pressuring while the white house herbissued a statement threatening to walk away from the table. they also said all options were on the table. a iranian general quickly rebuked in a saying that the united states is not the only country with military options. we re expecting them to release some sort of statement today, but i don t think it s going to be an all-encompassing statement that s going to address everybody s fears. jose? from tehran thank you. bring in ambassador ginsburg former white house mideast policy ambassador. good morning. good morning. any way to tell if real progress is being 345idmade? put it this way, trying to put lipstick on a pig with an
