Todd:
holy shit Yemen is falling apart
Mitchell:
it's a battleground
in a proxy
war
between Iran and Saudi Arabia
Todd:
are they competing to see
who
can violate more human rights?
Mitchell:
that's right Chuck
Todd:
this is the failed state where
the
underwear bomber came from
Mitchell:
and the pajama hatchet killer
Todd:
with no American
troops in
Yemen
al-qaeda
will take over!
Mitchell:
that's right
Todd:
has the Arab Spring failed everywhere
Mitchell:
yes it has
Todd:
Libya and Syria and
Yemen are all in chaos
Mitchell: you can throw Kansas in there too
Todd:
also
Bibi won re-election but
he
had to promise there would never
be
a Palestinian state and
say people
of
Arab descent are lesser citizens
Netanyahu:
I take that back!
Obama:
oh fuck this guy
Reporter:
do you believe Bibi?
Obama:
we take him at his word
– that
he's full of shit
Todd:
Bibi also warned that
Israel
Arabs might actually
vote
[ break ]
Todd: welcome Ron
Dermer: what's up Chuck
Todd:
what is the position of the Israel
government
with regard to Palestine?
Dermer:
you mean today?
Todd:
yes
Dermer:
what time is it?
Todd:
just answer the question Ron
Dermer:
we still support a
two-state
solution
Todd:
okay
Dermer:
but Palestine is
allied
with
Hamas which is unacceptable
Todd:
are willing to deal
with President Abbas?
Dermer:
not if he's joined with Hamas
Todd:
okay
Dermer:
Netanyahu
still supports
a
Palestinian state
Todd:
so Bibi flip-flopped
Dermer:
Israel is surrounded by terrorists!
Todd:
what if the U.S. stops vetoing
a
two-state solution at the U.N.
Dermer:
we need a negotiated
solution
with all the parties
Todd:
I see
Dermer:
the Palestinian want
a
state but they don't want peace
Todd:
Netanyahu
said settlements
are
to prevent a Palestinian state
Dermer:
no!
Todd:
so you deny that's why
you're
building settlements
Dermer:
Palestians don't support
Israel
as a Jewish state!
Todd:
what is a bad deal with Iran?
Dermer:
a deal that removes
restrictions
on
Iran after a decade – we might
as
well hand them a nuclear bomb!
Todd:
how do you improve
trust with the
U.S.?
Dermer:
I'm not just a Republican activist
– I'm
a friend to America
Todd:
can Obama trust you?
Dermer:
um... yes
[ break ]
Todd: welcome Riyad
Mansour: nice to see you Ted
Todd:
do you recognize Israel
as
a Jewish state?
Mansour:
we recognize Israel
Todd:
but as
a Jewish state?
Mansour:
they can call
themselves
that if they want
Todd:
I assure they
do
Mansour:
they are holding
up
the peace process
Todd:
so you say
Mansour:
they are going to end
up
having an apartheid system someday
Todd:
strong words
Mansour:
the Security Council
should
mandate a two-state solution
Todd:
would you back off your
actions
in the International
Criminal Court?
Mansour:
why should we?
Todd:
don't you
trust
Israel
to
investigate their
own bombings?
Mansour:of course not
Todd:
how odd
Mansour:
the Israel
settlements
are all
war crimes!
Todd:
okay but-
Mansour:
the settlements are illegal!
Todd: I get it
Mansour:
we can't have a two-state
solution
with 600,000 settlers
Todd:
Israel is already
withholding tax
revenue from you
Mansour:
that's illegal too!
Todd:
if you go ahead with
the
criminal
court the US will
withhold
money
and you know the ICC
is totally useless anyway
Mansour:
at least the criminal court
is
peaceful and legal way to seek justice
Todd:
but it doesn't do
anything
Mansour:
well it beats seeking
justice
by bombings and
terror
Todd:
I suppose
Mansour:
we seek peace!
Todd:
well then will
you renounce
your
partnership with Hamas?
Mansour:
Israel
negotiates
with
Hamas
so why not us!
Todd:
I'll take that as a no
[
break ]
Todd:
what is the current
U.S.
relationship
with Israel?
Cooper:
Israel is an important ally
for
the U.S. - who
else would take our money?
Todd:
so it's all good
Cooper:
but let me tell you –
people
at the White House
are
soooo
pissed!
Todd:
is this UN resolution done deal?
Harman:
I'm from California
– this is an earthquake!
Todd:
Bibi really fucked this up
Lowry:
lefties were hoping Bibi
would
lose but he won and
liberals
are
the real losers and now
Obama
is having a temper tantrum
Todd:
calm down Richie
Lowry:
Obama hates Bibi's
guts
Todd:
to be fair it's
mutual
Lowry:
Obama loves Iran and
hates
Israel – it's so
terrible
Todd:
Hillary hates this fighting
Stanton:
but she
can use this to
separate
herself from Obama
[

Todd:
if you're still watching the
Sunday
Talk Shows what the hell
is
wrong with you
[
break ]
Todd:
OMG sea ice is falling
and
Obama is cutting carbon
emissions
like a dictator
Todd:
meanwhile it hasn't rained
in
California
for four years
Todd:
welcome Governor Brown
Brown:
hiya Todd
Todd:
is permanent drought
the new normal?
Brown:
yes it's totally
crazy
Todd:
that's bad news
Brown:
we're running out of
time
and it's won't
fucking rain
Todd:
what are you doing
about it?
Brown:
we're finally regulating
water
on private lands
Todd:
like a boss
Brown:
we're desperate Chuck
Todd:
will you start rationing?
Brown:
we might have to do that
Todd:
what else are you
doing?
Brown:
we're watching
the
skies on a daily basis
Todd:
how's that going?
Brown:
[ looks out window ]
still not raining!
Shit!
Todd:
what more needs to be done?
Brown:
these fucking golfers
need
to get another hobby like
dowsing
or rainmaking
Todd:
sounds right
Brown:
the rainy season
is over in three weeks
Todd:
wait – this is your 'rainy
season'?
Brown:
right – we got a tenth
of
an inch three weeks ago
Todd:
whoa watch out for flash flooding
Brown:
I was communing with
mother
nature and she says
were fucked
Todd:
I'm sorry to hear that
Brown:
it's like the fucking Kalahari out here
Todd:
is the drought
caused by climate change?
Brown:
climate change causes
drought
so make of that what you will
Todd:
is that a yes or no?
Brown:
it's not that simple –
it
might rain on any give day
but
climate changes
occur over many
years
Todd:
I see
Brown:
it's fucking irreversible!
Todd:
you're passionate
on
this subject
Brown:
we need a new crusade!
Todd:
Ted Cruz says there's no climate
change
because he saw some
snow in
New
Hampshire in the
winter
Brown:
over 90% of scientists says
greenhouses
gases are building
up
and change the earth's climate
Todd:
Ted Cruz says the
science
says
climate change is a hoax
Brown:
he's ignorant and a liar
Todd:
don't mince words
Brown:
he's unfit to be a Senator
Todd:
go on
Brown:
I wouldn't trust him
to
drive a damn clown car
Todd:
you permit fracking
which
uses a lot of water
Brown:
actually California
fracking
is
vertical and uses
very little water
Todd:
well it's still bad
for the environment
Brown:
we've done fracking for 50 years
Todd:
what the frack
Brown:
we need electric cars!
Todd:
what are the three big issues of 2016?
Brown:
we need to build roads and bridges
and
address climate change and fund science
Todd:
if you were ten years younger
would
be running for President?
Brown:
yes I would!
Todd:
thanks for coming dude
Brown:
live long and prosper!
[
break ]
Todd:
panel should
he run for President?
Harman:
why not – 70 is the new 50
Todd:
the Boston Globe wants
Elizabeth
Warren to run for President
Stanton:
well she's not running
Todd:
maybe not but Ted
Cruz
really
is running
Lowry:
he's smart to get in early
because
we'll be sick of these jerks soon
Todd:
he's announcing at
Jerry
Falwell's Liberty University
where everything is banned but Reaganing
Lowry:
he's trying to unite
the
populist right
behind him
Todd:
in other words crazy people
Lowry:
[ laughs ] exactly Todd
Cooper:
this is like 'Game of Thrones'
Todd:
less vicious but with
more
family dynasties
Cooper:
Rich Lowry is right
– Cruz
is being shrewd here
Todd:
Jerry Brown called him ignorant
which
will be great for his
fundraising
[

Todd:
Republican primary voters are
old
and men
and 95% white
Audience:
shocking
Todd:
Democratic primary
voters
are gay black women
Audience:
woot
Todd:
the Democrats are more
like
the rest of America
Audience:
we're here were female/black/
hispanic/asian/young/gay
get used to it
Todd:
old white people are
dying out – literally
[ break ]
Todd:
on the 70th
anniversary
Iwo
Jima survivors are getting
back
together
Veteran:
at first it wasn't too bad –
then
we lost 2,000 men in one day
Smith:
20,000 marines were
either
killed or wounded
Veteran:
it was emotional
Smith:
there were eleven miles
of
tunnels and the Japanese
were dug in deep
Veteran:
individual marines won the battle
Smith:
what's the message from the battle
Veteran:
somebody has to pay for freedom
[

Todd:
Loretta Lynch has been
waiting
forever to be confirmed as AG
Obama:
if the GOP wants to get
rid
of Eric Holder the best way
is to confirm her
Todd:
Rich Lowry you say she
must
be rejected because Obama is a dictator
Lowry:
right – Eric Holder must stay
because
Lynch thinks Obama is a King
Todd:
would you compromise?
Lowry:
no – we can't comprise
with
the Kenyan Caesar!
Harman:
I was in Congress when
George
H.W. Bush did much worse
than
that and the GOP didn't utter a peep
Lowry:
Obama is giving amnesty
to
five million people – it's outrageous
Todd:
well the courts will decide this
Lowry:
courts?! – you can
use courts to prove anything!
Todd:
Rudy Giuliani says she
is
amazing and extraordinary
Cooper:
Obama and the
GOP
loathe each other
Todd:
young Aaron Schock had
to
resign but if he avoids prison
he
won't even be in the top ten
of
corrupt Illinois politicians
Lowry:
it's a tough bracket
Harman:
it's funny but not that funny
Todd:
true
Harman:
there's corruption
everywhere
in American life!
Todd:
and that's another
episode
of Meet The Press
