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
