POLICY OF UKRAI >>> BEAUTIFUL SHOT OF NEW YORK
CITY.
CITY. 40 PAST THE HOUR.
U.N. GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETS THIS
WEEK IN NEW YORK CITY AND IT
COMES JUST DAYS AFTER THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED IT IS
DEPLOYING MILITARY FORCES TO THE
MIDDLE EAST AFTER RECENT ATTACKS
ON SAUDI ARABIAN OIL SITES AND
FACILITIES.
FACILITIES. JOINING US NOW FORMER U.S.
SECRETARY OF STATE UNDER
PRESIDENT OBAMA JOHN KERRY.
GREAT HAVE YOU BACK ON THE SHOW.
>> THANK YOU.
>> OBVIOUSLY A BIG WEEK THIS
WEEK IN NEW YORK WITH THE U.N.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY. A LOT GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE
EAST WITH IRAN’S ALLEGED ATTACKS
AGAINST THE SAUDI OIL
FACILITIES, NETANYAHU APPARENTLY
SHAKEN FROM POWER IN ISRAEL.
WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS AS WE GO
INTO THIS WEEK, ESPECIALLY AS IT
PERTAINS TO THE ONGOING UNREST
IN THE MIDDLE EAST?
>> WELL, MY CONCERNS ARE WITH
WHETHER ADULTS ARE GOING TO SHOW
DUND WHAT THEY IMMEDIATE TO BE
DOING IN TERMS OF DIPLOMACY TO
PULL BACK FROM THE BRINK AND TO
AVOID THE REAL POTENTIAL OF IF
NOT ACCIDENTAL WAR OF THE WAR OF
CHOICE.
CHOICE. THIS IS UNNECESSARY.
WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IS
COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.
COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. IT IS HAPPENING IN A FORESEEABLE
AND FORESEEN MANNER BECAUSE WE
SAID IF YOU DON’T DEAL WITH
IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AND DEAL
PROPERLY WITH THE OTHER ISSUES
IN A DIPLOMATIC CHANNEL, YOU ARE
GOING TO HAVE CONFRONTATION.
PEOPLE DIDN’T TAKE THAT THAT
SERIOUSLY A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO
WHEN WE SAID IT.
WE STILL GOT THE AGREEMENT, BUT
NOW IT’S REAL.
IT’S VERY REAL.
>> AND WHAT SHOULD OUR STANCE BE
WITH SAUDI ARABIA?
OBVIOUSLY THEY’VE BEEN A KEY
STRATEGIC ALLY FOR DECADES.
THERE ARE, OF COURSE, SOME
SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH LEADERSHIP
THERE.
THERE. SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE
ONGOING WAR IN YEMEN.
BUT, AGAIN, THEY ARE OUR ALLIES.
HOW DO WE ADDRESS THIS CRISIS
LOOKING AT SAUDI ARABIA?
LOOKING AT IRAN?
LOOKING AT AMERICAN INTERESTS
ACROSS THAT REGION?
>> WELL, GOOD DIPLOMACY IS
HELPING PEOPLE SOMETIMES TO
UNDERSTAND THEIR OWN INTERESTS.
AND I THINK THAT IN THIS CASE
RUSSIA HAS REAL INTERESTS IN
SEEKING AN END TO THE WAR IN
YEMEN.
YEMEN. ACTUALLY IRAN COULD PLAY A ROLE
IN THAT IF WE HAD THE PROPER
DIPLOMACY AND EFFORTS GOING.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WAY TO
RESOLVE THE QUESTION OF IRAN
ITSELF AND ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM
AND THE SECURITY ISSUES OF THE
REGION.
REGION. BUT YOU NEED A STRATEGY THAT’S
PREPARED TO OPEN UP THE
POSSIBILITIES OF DIPLOMACY.
IF YOU ARE AS THE ADMINISTRATION
IS RIGHT NOW SAYING HERE ARE THE
12 THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO AND
THERE’S NO REAL INCENTIVE THAT
DEALS WITH THE LACK OF
CREDIBILITY THE ADMINISTRATION
NOW HAS BECAUSE THEY’RE THE ONES
WHO BROKE THE DEAL, THIS WAS
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR ROUHANI
TO COME TO THE TABLE, THE IRGC
AND HARDLINERS AND IRAN DIDN’T
WANT THIS DEAL.
THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING
ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE
DEAL.
DEAL. BUT THE HARDLINERS CREATE A
POLITICS FOR IRAN THAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION IS NOT DEALING
WITH IN ANY WAY.
RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THE SUPREME
LEADER WENT WAY OUT ON THE LIMB
ALLOWING ROUHANI TO NEGOTIATE
THIS AGREETHTMENT, HE WAS TOLD
AGAIN AND AGAIN DON’T NEGOTIATE
WITH THE UNITED STATES, THE
GREAT SATAN, THEY’LL BURN YOU.
GUESS WHAT?
GUESS WHAT? DONALD TRUMP CAME ALONG AND
BURNED THEM.
BURNED THEM. THE DEAL WAS WORKING, OUR ALLIES
ARE FOR IT, THEY’RE STILL FOR
IT, AND THERE’S BEEN NO EFFORT
TO BRING OUR ALLIES TO THE TABLE
IN A WAY THAT WE SHOW IRAN WHAT
IS POSSIBLE HERE.
AND WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS
WILLING TO DO IN TERMS OF
SARCHSSSARCHS
SARCHSSSARCHS SANCTIONS OR OTHERWISE IF WE
MOVE FORWARD.
MOVE FORWARD. SOUTHERN LESS SOMETHING HAPPENS
TO CHANGE THAT EQUATION, THERE
WON’T BE THE KIND OF MEETINGS
THAT OUGHT TO TAKE PLACE.
I THINK THE ADMINISTRATION OUGHT
TO USE OUR ALLIES TO GREATER
EFFECT HERE TO OPEN UP A CHANNEL
OF COMMUNICATION, CREATE A
REGIONAL DIALOGUE AND BEGIN TO
PUT ON THE TABLE SOMETHING REAL
FOR WHAT THE POSITIVE OUTCOME
CAN BE.
CAN BE. BECAUSE, IRAN HAS NO REASON TO
TRUST ANYTHING THAT DONALD TRUMP
SAYS.
SAYS. FOR THAT MATTER, MOST AMERICANS
DON’T EITHER.
DON’T EITHER. >> WELL, AND WITH THAT I’D LIKE
TO MOVE TO THE UKRAINE STORY.
I’D LOVE TO GET YOUR REACTION
AND WHAT THE CRUCIAL QUESTIONS
THAT COME TO YOUR MIND WHEN YOU
HEAR ABOUT THE "WALL STREET
JOURNAL" REPORTING THAT THE
PRESIDENT REACHED OUT TO THE
LEADER OF UKRAINE POTENTIALLY
EIGHT TIMES -- WE DON’T KNOW THE
EXACT WORDING OF THESE
CONVERSATIONS YET --
>> BUT IT WAS TO INTERFERE, TO
SPEAK WITH RUDY GIULIANI ON THIS
INVESTIGATION.
INVESTIGATION. >> WHAT’S YOUR REACTION, MR.
SECRETARY?
SECRETARY? >> WELL, MIKA, MY REACTION IS
ONE OF ABSOLUTE SHOCK AND THAT
APPARENTLY WITHIN HOURS OF
THE -- OR DAYS OF THE MUELLER
TESTIMONY THE PRESIDENT IS ON
THE TELEPHONE PUTTING AMERICAN
FOREIGN POLICY IN HOCK WHILE HE
EXTORTS THE LEADER OF ANOTHER
COUNTRY TO RUSSIA’S ADVANTAGE, I
MIGHT ADD.
MIGHT ADD. HERE’S ANOTHER INTEREST OF THE
PRESIDENT PUTTING THE HEAPT ON
THE COUNTRY WE’RE TRYING TO HELP
RESIST RUSSIA AND HE TURNS
AROUND AND SAYS I’M GOING TO
TAKE YOUR AID AWAY UNLESS YOU
BECOME THE OPPOSITION RESEARCH
CENTER FOR MY CAMPAIGN FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
THAT IS A FUNDAMENTAL, PROFOUND
ABUSE OF POWER, THERE’S NO OTHER
WAY TO PUT IT.
AND THE PRESIDENT SAID
YESTERDAY, OH, WE HAD A
BEAUTIFUL CONVERSATION.
BEAUTIFUL CONVERSATION. MR. PRESIDENT, SHOW AMERICA WHAT
THAT BEAUTIFUL CONVERSATION WAS.
LET US SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT
REALLY WAS.
REALLY WAS. LET US KNOW WHETHER EIGHT TIMES
YOU TURNED AROUND AND TRIED TO
EXTORT FROM THE PRESIDENT YOUR
CAMPAIGN OPPOSITION RESEARCH.
AND, BY THE WAY, IT’S "THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL" THAT PRINTED
THIS STORY.
THIS STORY. IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME I’VE
EVER HEARD "THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL" CALLED FAKE NEWS BY A
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
UNITED STATES. >> CAN WE COME BACK TO THE IRAN
SITUATION FOR A SECOND?
YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT GIVING IRAN
SOME INSENTIVE
SOME INSENTIVE SOME INCENTIVE.
SOME INCENTIVE. WOULD YOU ARGUE TO THE
ADMINISTRATION OR DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE THAT WE OUGHT TO GO
BACK INTO THE TWIST2015 AGREEMEN
HAS TOO MUCH TIME PASSED AND THE
GOAL POST AS MOVED.
WE WOULD BE WILLING TO RELEASE
SANCTIONS BUT ONLY AFTER WE HAVE
AN AGREEMENT ON MISSILES?
>> I THINK WE’RE AT A POINT
HERE, RICHARD, WHERE THERE IS
TIME THAT HAS PASSED AND THE
SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS
FLUID AND IT HAS CHANGED.
WE ALWAYS INTENDED, IT WAS OUR
INTENTION TO FIRST TAKE THE
NUCLEAR POTENTIAL OFF THE TABLE.
BUT WE ALWAYS INTENDED TO PURSUE
THE FOLLOWON-ON AGREEMENT.
AND THAT YEMEN, HISEZBOLLAH,
GETTING AN AGREEMENT IN THE
REGION SO YOU DON’T HAVE IRAN ON
A DAILY THREAT TO ISRAEL.
YOU HAVE TO DO WITH THE MISSILES
THAT ARE A RAID IN LEBANON
THROUGH ISRAEL.
THROUGH ISRAEL. ALL OF THOSE ARE -- YOU KNOW,
MEDDLING IN OTHER COUNTRIES, BY
THE WAY, OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE
REGION ARE MEDDLING IN OTHER
COUNTRIES.
COUNTRIES. SO THERE HAS TO BE A COMING
TOGETHER OF A REALITY CHECK FOR
THIS REGION.
THIS REGION. THIS IS THE SINGLE LEAST
INTEGRATED ECONOMIC REGION IN
THE WORLD.
THE WORLD. SINGLE LEAST SECURITY INTEGRATED
REGION IN THE WORLD.
AND THAT HAS GONE ON YEAR AFTER
YEAR AFTER YEAR.
WHAT IS BEING MISSED IN THE
MIDDLE EAST IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC
GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, THE
POTENTIAL FOR A PEACEFUL FUTURE
IS SHOCKING.
IS SHOCKING. I BELIEVE THERE ARE LEADERS
THERE WHO ARE PREPARED TO COME
TOGETHER AROUND A GENUINE
STRATEGY THAT LAYS OUT A VISION
FOR WHAT THE UPSIDE SHOULD BE.
AND I BELIEVE WITH RESPECT TO
IRAN THAT -- THAT THERE IS A
WAY -- I’M CONVINCED OF THIS.
IRAN IS PREPARED TO NEGOTIATE ON
THOSE OTHER ITEMS.
BUT YOU’VE GOT TO FIRST PROVE
YOU’RE BONA FIDETIES THAT YOU’RE
GOING TO NEGOTIATE IN GOOD
FAITH.
FAITH. THEY CAME TO THIS TABLE
RELUCTANTLY, THEY DIDN’T TRUST
THE PROCESS.
THE PROCESS. WE BUILT THAT UP OVER YEARS OF
WORK, HOURS OF NEGOTIATIONS.
WE GOT TO A PLACE WHERE WE
ELIMINATED THE NUCLEAR THREAT.
DIDN’T MEAN THEY MIGHT NOT
DECIDE IN THE FUTURE TO TRY TO
BREAK OUT, BUT WE WOULD KNOW IT.
AND EVERY MILITARY OPTION
AVAILABLE TO US TODAY WOULD BE
AVAILABLE TO US THEN.
SO WE DIDN’T LOSE ANYTHING IN
CREATING THIS.
CREATING THIS. DONALD TRUMP LOST IT.
HE TURNED AWAY FROM OUR ALLIES,
HE TURNED AWAY FROM RUSSIA,
CHINA, FRANCE, GERMANY, BRITAIN
WHO ARE STILL IN THIS AGREEMENT.
AND NOW I BELIEVE THE GROUND IS
RIPE TO FIND A WAY TO COME BACK
TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE
AGREEMENT, PERHAPS A FEW
CHANGES, BUT MORE PROFOUNDLY TO
WRAP IT INTO A LARGER INTEGRATED
REGIONAL SECURITY ARRANGEMENT
FOR THE MIDDLE EAST.
THAT’S WHERE WE OUGHT TO GO.
AND THIS COULD BE -- IF YOU
EXERCISE AND EXECUTE THAT
DIPLOMACY, THIS COULD BE A BIG
MOMENT FOR THE REGION.
BUT ALSO IT CAN BE A VERY
NEGATIVE MOMENT.
NEGATIVE MOMENT. >> YOU KNOW, I HAVE A QUESTION
WITHIN A QUESTION, AND THE FIRST
QUESTION BEFORE WE WRAP THE
OTHER QUESTION IN IS WE OPENED
THIS SEGMENT THAT WE OPENED
TODAY THIS HOUR THE CLIP ASKED
ABOUT THE WHOLE THING GOING ON
WITH THE UKRAINE AND PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
TRUMP. AND HE BASICALLY SAID IT’S ON
JOE BIDEN BECAUSE HE TRIED TO DO
SOMETHING RIDICULOUSLY CORRUPT
WITH UKRAINE WHEN HE WAS VICE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. SO MY QUESTION ABOUT THAT IS YOU
SERVED IN THE SENATE FOR A
COUPLE OF DECADES.
WHY DO YOU THINK SO MANY PEOPLE,
REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE AND
THE HOUSE SELL THEIR SOUL TO
THIS MAN, DONALD TRUMP?
WHAT HAPPENS THERE?
AND THEN ON AN ENTIRELY
DIFFERENT SUBJECT, BUT MAYBE
NOT, THE NATIONAL SECURITY
IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
>> I’M REALLY SAD WHAT HAS
HAPPENED TO THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.
SENATE. THERE ARE ALWAYS POLITICAL
CONSIDERATIONS AND
CONSIDERATIONS AND COMPLICATIONS, BUT NEVER HAVE I
SEEN PEOPLE TALK PRIVATELY AND
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY KNOW THIS
IS WRONG, THAT THEY KNOW THERE
IS A LACK OF BALANCE IN THIS
PRESIDENCY.
PRESIDENCY. IT’S A POLITE WAY OF PUTTING IT.
YET, THEY DON’T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
ABOUT IT. AND THE REASON IS THERE IS A
FEAR, A FEAR OF PRIMARIES, A
FEAR OF THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF
CHURNING UP HIS BASE AND THE
BASE SOMEHOW ARE GOING TO PAY
THE PRICE FOR THAT.
WE DON’T SOOET STATES PEOPLE
NECESSARY.
NECESSARY. I REMEMBER PRESIDENT KENNEDY
SAID THERE IS A REASON IT WAS A
THIN BOOK.
THIN BOOK. THERE WEREN’T A LOT OF PROFILES.
RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE NONE ON THE
REPUBLICAN SIDE.
REPUBLICAN SIDE. THERE WERE A FEW, AND THE OTHER
COLLEAGUES NOW SEE WHAT HAPPENED
TO THEM.
TO THEM. THIS ISN’T HARD TO FIGURE OUT.
IT’S PRETTY BASIC POLITICS.
BUT THE UNITED STATES SENATE IS
NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE PRISONER
OF BASIC POLITICS.
THAT’S WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
DESIGNED IT TO BE IS SOMETHING
BIGGER, BETTER.
BIGGER, BETTER. THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE A SIX-YEAR
TERM AND DIFFERENT RULES OF
DEBATE AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF
BUILDISH COALITIONS AND BEING
THE CHECK AGAINST THE PASSIONS
OF THE DAY.
THAT’S WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
PUT TOGETHER.
PUT TOGETHER. THAT IS NOT BEING HONORED IN ANY
WAY WHATSOEVER RIGHT NOW.
>> WHAT SHOULD THE DEMOCRATIC
LEADERSHIP DO?
LEADERSHIP DO? BECAUSE IT SEEMS PRETTY OBVIOUS
THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS COMMITTED
MULTIPLE IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.
WHAT WOULD YOU PRESCRIBE?
>> I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING RIGHT NOW IS TO HAVE THE
INVESTIGATION AND GET THE FACTS.
DON’T JUMP TO THE CONCLUSION
AHEAD OF TIME.
BUT IT’S ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE
THAT THEY THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE
AND LAYOUT THIS MOSAIC OF
REMARKABLE EVENTS THAT HAVE
TAKEN PLACE.
TAKEN PLACE. I THINK THIS MOST RECENT THING
WITH UKRAINE IS QUITE
EXTRAORDINARY.
EXTRAORDINARY. AND BACK WHEN RICHARD NIXON
ABUSED POWER, REPUBLICANS JOINED
IN HOLDING HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR
IT.
IT. WE NEED TO SEE THE INSTITUTIONS
OF OUR COUNTRY STAND UP HERE.
AMERICANS RELY ON THAT.
OUR NATION’S DEMOCRACY RIGHT NOW
IS GENERALLY TROUBLED.
IT’S TROUBLED BECAUSE THE AMOUNT
OF MONEY IN AMERICAN POLITICS.
IT’S TROUBLED BECAUSE OF
GERRYMANDERING WHICH DEPRIVES OF
A LEGITIMATE GENERAL ELECTION IN
OUR NATION.
OUR NATION. WE’RE NOT GETTING BUDGETS
PASSED.
PASSED. WE DON’T HAVE A REGULAR ORDER.
WE NEED TO GET BACK TO IT, BUT
IT TAKES LEADERSHIP TO DO THAT.
I THINK THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE
TO INVESTIGATE.
TO INVESTIGATE. THERE IS NO BETWEEN WHAT DONALD
TRUMP DID AND THE FACT THAT OUR
ADMINISTRATION AT THE DIRECTION
OF THE PRESIDENT AND WITH THE
PROFESSIONALS IN THE STATE
DEPARTMENT MAKING THE CALLS
SAYING WE NEED TO GET THE
CORRUPTION OUT OF UKRAINE.
AND IT WAS THE FULL
ADMINISTRATION’S POLICY TO WANT
THAT PROSECUTOR OUT OF THERE.
THAT WAS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL
CHOICE BY BIDEN.
THE PHONE CALL MADE BY THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
WAS AN INDIVIDUAL CHOICE AND
COMPLETELY OUTSIDE THE REALM OF
DECENCY AND APPROPRIATENESS FOR
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. >> SO YOU HAVE CONTINUED TO LEAD
ON CLIMATE, CONTINUE TO GO
ACROSS THE WORLD TALKING ABOUT
THE NEED FOR AMERICA TO NOT ONLY
GET RE-ENGAGED IN PARIS, BUT
ALSO YOU’VE ENCOURAGED OTHER
COUNTRIES TO EXCEED THOSE
MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS.
MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS. THIS WEEK, OBVIOUSLY, WHERE SO
MUCH FOCUS HAS BEEN ON THE
CLIMATE AND GOING TO BE AT THE
CLIMATE ON THE U.N., YOU ARE
ACTUALLY GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT A NEW CLIMATE INITIATIVE
THAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE HEADING
UP.
UP. TELL US ABOUT IT.
>> THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT.
AND I HOPE IN THE NEXT WEEKS
WHEN WE REALLY ROLL IT OUT IN
FULL, I CAN COME BACK WITH A
TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO WILL BE
INVOLVED.
INVOLVED. IT’S A VERY EXCITING IDEA.
WE LACK POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY
WITH RESPECT TO CLIMATE.
EVEN IF WE DID EVERYTHING WE SET
OUT TO DO IN PARIS, IF EVERY
NATION LIVED UP TO THE PARIS
AGREEMENT, WE WOULD BE AT 3.7
DEGREES OF WARMING.
AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE ANYBODY WAS
DECEIVED BY PARIS.
WHAT WE DID IN PARIS WAS EXCITE
THE MARKET PLACE WITH A SIGNAL
THAT 196 COUNTRIES WOULD TRY TO
MOVE IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY IS.
THEY WENT UP HERE IN AMERICA,
EUROPE, CHINA.
EUROPE, CHINA. THE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
LEADING.
LEADING. KIDS ARE OUT IN THE STREETS OF
THE WORLD SAYING THIS IS OUR
WORLD.
WORLD. THIS IS OUR FUTURE.
AND YOU GUYS AREN’T GETTING THE
JOB DONE.
JOB DONE. GUESS WHAT, WE’RE NOT.
THE WORLD IS NOT GETTING THE JOB
DONE.
DONE. AND THE RESULTS ARE WE’RE GOING
TO HAVE MASSIVE DISLOCATION OF
HUMAN BEINGS COMING OUT AS PART
OF THE REASON WE HAVE PEOPLE
COMING ACROSS THE BORDER FROM
CENTRAL AMERICA IS CLIMATE
CHANGE.
CHANGE. THEY CAN’T FARM.
THEY CAN’T FEED THEMSELVES.
IF YOU THINK WE SEE A PROBLEM
TODAY, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT
HAPPENS IF WE DON’T RESPOND
ADEQUATELY.
ADEQUATELY. WHAT IS SO CONFOUNDING ABOUT
THIS MOMENT IS THAT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE BEING LIED TO ABOUT
THIS.
THIS. TODAY THERE WILL BE A MAJOR
MEETING AT THE UNITED NATIONS.
NATIONS WILL COME TOGETHER TO
TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES IS SKIPPING THAT MEETING.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES IS SAYING THAT CLIMATE
CHANGE IS A CHINESE HOAX, WHEN
THE BEST SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD
ARE TELLING US YOU GUYS HAVE
ABOUT TEN YEARS NOW TO GET THIS
TOGETHER SO WE ARE REDUCING
EMISSIONS AND BUILDING A ZERO
EMISSIONS ECONOMY BY AT LEAST
2050.
2050. THE TRAGEDY OF THIS IS THERE ARE
MILLIONS OF JOBS TO BE CREATED
IN DOING THIS.
THIS IS A JOB WINNER, NOT A JOB
LOSER AS PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY FOR BETTER HEALTH,
REDUCE THE PARTICULATES IN THE
AIR, REDUCE THE CANCER.
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN --
THE GREATEST CAUSE OF CHILDREN
BEING HOSPITALIZED IN THE SUMMER
IS ENVIRONMENTALLY INDUCED
ASTHMA.
ASTHMA. IF WE ATTACK THIS AND DO WHAT IS
NECESSARY, WE’LL CREATE JOBS.
WE’LL HAVE BETTER HEALTH.
WE’LL HAVE BETTER NATIONAL
SECURITY.
SECURITY. WE HAVE ADMIRALS TELLING PEOPLE
WE HAVE TO GET THIS DONE.
SO WORLD WAR ZERO.
GO TO WORLDWARZERO.COM.
IT WILL TAKE ON THE DENIERS AND
THE DELAYERS AND DISTORTERS.
AND WE’RE GOING TO TRY TO CREATE
POLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS
COUNTRY AGAIN, THE KIND THAT
BROUGHT US THE CLEAN AIR ACT,
THE EPA, SAFE DRINKING WATER ALL
OF WHICH CAME OUT OF CITIZEN
ACTIVITY.
ACTIVITY. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO RISE
UP AND RECLAIM THE FUTURE.
>> SO MR. SECRETARY BEFORE YOU
GO, OF COURSE, WE WON’T PUT YOU
IN THE POSITION OF TALKING ABOUT
THE OTHER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
SOME MIGHT ASK, WHY WOULDN’T YOU
RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES?
STATES? >> BECAUSE I’M DOING WHAT I’M
DOING RIGHT NOW.
HOW’S THAT?
HOW’S THAT? >> PRETTY GOOD.
>> JOHN KERRY.
>> WHEN YOU COME BACK TO DO THE
FULL LAUNCH, WE’LL FOLLOW-UP.
MORE TO COME.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
ON.
ON. >> THANKS A LOT.
GOOD TO BE WITH YOU.
>> GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.
>>> STILL AHEAD, A JOINT
INTERVIEW WITH ALL THREE OF THE
PRESIDENT’S REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
CHALLENGERS.
CHALLENGERS. FORMER CONGRESSMAN JOE WALSH AND
MARK SANFORD.
MARK SANFORD. >> THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT THE
