Stephanopoulos:
OMG the U.S. and Europe
made
a deal with Iran on nuclear weapons
Moran:
it's promise or peril depending on
whether
you think Iran opening up
to
daily inspections is a good thing
or
the end of the world
Stephanopoulos:
tough call
Moran:
it's all temporary anyway
Stephanopoulos:
Bibi says it's a terrible deal
Moran:
Israel will lobby the U.S. Congress
for
new bigger sanctions and may also bomb
Iran
with Saudi Arabia which doesn't want
Iranian
oil on the open market
Stephanopoulos:
will this deal work?
Moran:
can Iran be trusted – that's the question
Stephanopoulos:
welcome John Kerry
Kerry:
Hi George
Stephanopoulos:
President Marco Rubio says
this
deal will not stop Iran's nuclear program
while
continuing sanctions clearly would
Kerry:
he's an idiot
Stephanopoulos:
be that as it may
Kerry:
Iran's uranium will be destroyed
and
their centrifuges will stalled
Stephanopoulos:
but not destroyed
Kerry:
true but while we do nothing
they
keep building a nuke
Stephanopoulos:
Republicans say
this is a bad deal
Kerry:
Under the brilliant tough Bush-Graham-Rubio
model
Iran had 164 centrifuges and
now
they have 19,000
Stephanopoulos:
yes but Republicans
are
tough and Democrats are weak
Kerry:
right of course
Stephanopoulos:
does Iran have
a
right to enrich?
Kerry:
no Iran has no right to enrich –
they
have a right to get rich not to enrich!
Stephanopoulos:
don't try to be funny Mr Secretary
Kerry:
sorry
Stephanopoulos:
can they enrich or not?
Kerry:
Iran can only enrich if they prove
they
have peaceful nuclear program
Stephanopoulos:
I see
Kerry:
they do have a right to a
have
peaceful nuclear program
Stephanopoulos:
Will Israel bomb Iran?
Kerry:
there is no daylight between
the U.S. and Israel
Stephanopoulos:
maybe a little – after all
Israel
hates this deal and Netanyahu
says
it will let Iran build a bomb
Kerry:
well he's wrong
Stephanopoulos:
can you stop Congress
from
passing increased sanctions?
Kerry:
oh god they are such idiots
Stephanopoulos:
we all know that
Kerry:
look increased sanctions will
only
drive Iran to build a bomb
Stephanopoulos:
yes but at least
we
will be tough
Kerry:
oh cripes
Stephanopoulos:
can we deal with a regime
that
calls Israel a rabid dog and accuses
America
of war crimes?
Kerry:
look this is going to difficult –
we
have to proceed without cobwebs
Stephanopoulos:
I don't understand
Kerry:
look the whole point of sanctions
and
threats of war is to get them to
cry
uncle and they now have
[

Stephanopoulos:
Saxby can you support this deal?
Chambliss:
no because under this
deal Iran can
still enrich uranium
and will still have centrifuges
Stephanopoulos:
I see
Chambliss:
the sanctions are working and
doing
exactly what they designed to do –
greatly
hurt ordinary Iranian people
Stephanopoulos:
that's the purpose?
Chambliss:
yes – now is the time
for
more sanctions!
Stephanopoulos:
now we need more sanctions?
Chambliss:
yes –Congress will do it!
Stephanopoulos:
I see
Chambliss:
the sanctions as they
now are
working – so of course we
should change them!
Stephanopoulos:
that makes sense
Chambliss:
you just can't trust those wily Persians
Stephanopoulos:
no?
Chambliss:
this will encourage Iran
to
build a nuclear weapon
Stephanopoulos:
thanks for coming
[
break ]
Stephanopoulos:
what is the mood in Tehran?
Erdbrink:
they are thrilled –
the
sanctions have really hurt
Stephanopoulos:
is that right?
Erdbrink:
Iran's currency has collapsed
Stephanopoulos:
sounds tough
Erbdrink:
but being posted to
Tehran
has finally gotten me on tv
Stephanopoulos:
well good luck Thomas
[
break ]
Stephanopoulos:
wasn't Rouhani elected
to
get sanctions relief?
Amanpour:
absolutely – these sanctions
have
really hurt people
Stephanopoulos:
so sanctions work
Amanpour:
but let's be clear – sanctions never
stopped
Iran building a nuclear bomb
Stephanopoulos:
that proves we
need more sanctions
Amanpour:
and remember this deal is
only
a very tiny lifting of the sanctions
Stephanopoulos:
why are other
countries
so concerned?
Amanpour:
because there is a power
struggle
in the middle east
Stephanopoulos:
it turns out the U.S.
has
been secretly negotiating with Iran
Raddatz:
I love this – hidden plane flights!
Secret
talks!
Stephanopoulos:
talk nukes to me Martha
Raddatz:
this deal doubles the time
for
Iran to build a bomb
Stephanopoulos:
Bill you are always wrong
about
everything – give us your expertise on Iran
Kristol:
this is a terrible deal – all sanctions are
ending
and Iran can refresh their bomb program
Amanpour:
all of that is a lie
Haass:
calm down – this is a limited
deal
with much to negotiate
Stephanopoulos:
can Israel wait six months?
Kristol:
no Bibi will probably bomb
Iran
in a few weeks
Stephanopoulos:
can this deal stop
Iran
from building a bomb?
Haass:
this is not a problem to be solved –
it's
one to be managed long-term
Stephanopoulos:
coming up – our stellar
panel
whines about filibuster reform
[
break ]
Stephanopoulos:
OMG the Senate
moved to majority rule!
Brazile:
the GOP is the one that broke
the
Senate – it's not functioning
Roberts:
yes the Senate is not functioning –
but
whose fault it that? Harry Reid is the Senate
majority
leader – why doesn't Harry Reid do
something
about it?!?
Stephanopoulos:
he just did!
Roberts:
this will just make everything worse!
Stephanopoulos:
that's crazy
Dowd:
this just reflects the terrible
bitterness
in America
Kristol:
Harry Reid broke his word
because
just the Republicans had a few filibusters
Roberts:
well more than a few
Kristol:
it just a little cloture between friends
Roberts:
there are 200 nominations waiting
Kristol:
only the Democrats are to
blame
for everything that is bad
Roberts:
filibuster reform just reflects
the
hatred and dysfunction in America
Dowd:
Cokie is right – we are all retreating
into
our little tribes of hate and majority
rule
is the worst hate of all
Stephanopoulos:
majority rule proves Obama
is
terrible and unpopular and dishonest
Dowd:
Obama was going to change to the
tone
in Washington and yet he can't make
Republicans
like him proving he is terrible
Roberts:
both sides are equally to blame
Kristol:
no one knows this but Republicans
are
secretly very popular
Stephanopoulos:
Obama has a
Second
Term Slump!!
Stephanopoulos:
the JFK assassination
anniversary
is getting a lot of attention
Dowd:
it was a time of hope until
Obama
ruined it all
Roberts:
Matt is right about everything –
it
was time of hope when America had
never
lost a war and we still had jobs and
Americans
weren't a bunch of tweeting
facebooking
reality show watching losers
Stephanopoulos:
was JFK a conservative
or a liberal?
Kristol:
JFK would be Republican today
[
panel laughs ]
Stephanopoulos:
it's funny because people
tune
into my tv show to be lied to and misinformed
Panel:
ha ha ha ha

Zuckerberg:
it's sad that kids who grew
up in
America but are undocumented
don't
have civil rights
Wright:
but they're breaking the law
Zuckerberg:
some came as kids and
most
came just to work
Wright:
you just want to hire foreign nerds
but
what about the fruit pickers
Zuckerberg:
the sons of fruit pickers may
create
a future Facebook
Wright:
you went to Washington to lobby for reform
Zuckerberg:
I poked those senators
Wright:
what about privacy?
Zuckerberg: we have a great privacy track record
Wright: of course
Zuckerberg:
you should be clear about
what
you're doing – the government
totally blew
it by not being transparent
about national security
Wright:
what about the Obamacare website?
Zuckerberg:
just keep working on getting it right
– we've
had failures too

Saulny:
you wrote a book about your mother
Angelou:
she told me I could be great
Saulny:
nice
Angelou:
I think about her every morning
Saulny:
your boyfriend almost killed you
Angelou:
forgiveness releases you of a weight
Saulny:
you were a calypso singer and dancer
Angelou:
and a good one!
Stephanopoulos:
and that's all the time we have
