it will not be john kerry's peace to broker. we know that donald trump wants peace in the middle east. tim: let's go to maryland go -- let's go to mar-a-lago where donald trump is speaking now. trump we have sprint for 5000 jobs. that is coming from all over the world, back in the united states is a nice game. 3000 jobs, that is a new company. a terrific guy, we appreciate it. >> you to speak with president obama today? president-elect trump: i did. he phoned me, we had a nice conversation. >> did he bring up your concerns? president-elect trump: we had a general conversation. the secretary's beach spoke for itself. we had a general conversation, very nice. >> do you want the united states to leave the u.n.? president-elect trump: the u.n. has tremendous potential. it is not living up to it. when do you see the united nations solving problems? they don't. they cause problems. if it lives up to its potential it is great, if it doesn't it is a waste of time and money. tim: the economic plans, he unveiled a short statement about jo

john kerry pointed to a figure of 30,000 units in all. settlement units in recent decades and 100,000 settlers since barack obama became presidt and, indeed, either as he was speaking or just before he was speaking we had word from an ngo that another settlement unit had been approved in east jerusalem. there is no question that in israel there is a sense that they are creating facts on the ground. and that, you know, john kerry went through six principles or proposals to move this forward. there was nothing new in any of that as he acknowledged. there is a sense of paralysi in the last 40 minutes or so. >> i keep checking my phone to see. >> right. but really, that's how it may have been making pronouncements when it comes to israel late this morning and into the afternoon. talk about the impact. secretary kerry hoping it is a powerful moment. it's coming at the tail end of the administration with somebody who has a different relationship with benjamin netanyahu set to take office in days. >> this represents a boiling over of frustration

to kick back globally against john kerry. he said he would be candid and that's what benjamin netanyahu was. he said it was a disappointing speech and a shame. as you heard there, unbalanced and biased. he said most of it was about blaming israel and he had proof that he would show that the u.s. was behind the un resolution last week against israel and as you heard, john kerry talking about andrea mitchell denies that the u.s. advanced that revolution. kerry focusing on the danger of jewish settlements. abbas said he was ready to resume peace talks if the u.s. freezes settlement construction. the empty the israeli government agrees to cease all settlement activities including in and around occupied east jerusalem and agrees to implement the agreements on the basis of mutual reciprocity, the leadership stands ready to resume permanent status negotiations. what does it mean? programs towards peace? i don't think so. there are peace talks in january and benjamin netanyahu is not going. >> john kerry thinks the two-state solution

directly and to kick back globally against john kerry. just as john kerry says he will be candid in his speech, that's what exactly what israel prime minister was. his remarks were bordering almost on resentment or bitterly. most of it he said was by blaming israel. he said like the security council resolution that secreta secretary kerry advanced in the u.n., his speech was skewed. we heard that the u.s. advancing that resolution to fail to veto, benjamin netanyahu says barely touching on the root of the conflict to a jewish state. lets listen to one thing he said. this was in reply to john kerry's appeal for talks between israelis and palestinians. lets take a listen. >> my vision is that israelis and palestinians, both have a future of mutual recognition and existence. the palestinian authorities telling them they should never accept the existence of a jewish state, i ask, how could you make peace with someone who rejects your very existence. >> after that benjamin netanyahu spoke, the president abass says he's ready to resume peace ta

now, i must express my deep disemployment with today of john ker kerry's speech. in a speech extensively between peace between palestinians and israelis. by passionately condemning a policy that enabling jews to live in their historic homeland and in their internal capitol. jewsi jerusalem. they're the reality that the people of is real hrael had to . poll sil policies of the time of -- i don't seek applause, i seek the security and peace and prosperity and the future of the jewish state. the jewish people have had their place under the sun for 3,000 years and we are not about to dissuade by mistaken policies that have caused great damage. israelis do not need to be lectured of the important of peace by foreign leaders. we pray. we worked for it everyday since then. thousands of israel families ma made the ultimate sacrifice. my family has been one of them. there are many, many others. no one wants peace more than the people of israel. israel remains committed to resolving the outstanding differences between us and the palestinians through die recollect negotiatio

secretary of state john kerry warning the futu

john kerry, just three weeks left. he'll be spending time talking about the stalled mideast peace process. also expected to refute those allegations it was the united states that was behind that resolution last friday that was vetoed. here's a preview now from our chief global correspondent bill neely. >> good morning, craig. the senior minister who said that said a whole lot more. he called john kerry's planned speech today anti-democratic. he accused the obama administration of being pro-palestinian. he said there were people who simply don't understand what's happening in the middle east. he said if john kerry lays out principles for a peace deal, as he's expected to do in that speech, it would limit president obama's ability to set his own policy on the conflict. all of that before the speech is even delivered. what can we expect from the speech? what we do know comes from kerry's spokesman at the state department mark toner. he said kerry would lay out a comprehensive vision for israeli/palestinian peace. he says

john kerry said something that i have been hearing a long, long time. which is it's in israel's futch less there's a two-state solution, israel will have to choose being a jewish state, unless it will let palestinians have voting rights, under current, in the autonomous regions, a jewish state or democracy, but it will have to choose, unless there is a two-state solution, and you flared the education minister a rising star on the right in israel, you know, that benjamin netanyahu is always looking over his shoulder to see where bennett is, and there's no two-state solution coming from that guy? >> well, there's -- that's the conventional wisdom, i understand that. but i think that it matters a huge amount parties are living for a while at peace the way the israels and the israeli arabs do, or whether they're living only with guns lowered and in shelter, the way one has to on the west bank if one wants to live on the west bank, and i think that there are a lot of people in israel who would go along with something, if the palestinians stopped killing them

> you covered john kerry extensively. you traveled with him, profiled him. what do you think in this late moment not unpre presprecedente maybe against the backdrop he's giving this speech, unusual. what do you think he hopes to achieve with this speech at this very big moment? >> i think he hopes to burnish his legacy. he talked with me privately and talked publicly about how passionately he believed in the need for a two-state solution. that is what this is all about. if the settlements continue to grow the obama administration argues there cannot be a two-state solution. i think kerry, this is his last ditch effort to save that solution. i agree with errol, this is also very important domestically in israel. it's a plus for netanyahu, criticizing obama helps him with his base. in israel, all politics is local. that's why he's being so vocal about this. >> that's a really interesting point. it's always important to try to understand who exactly the audience is for john kerry today. >> his audience seems to be more globa

but now i must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john kerry. a speech that was almost as unbalanced as the anti-israel resolution passed at the u.n. last week. in a speech ostensibly about peace between israelis and palestinians, secretary kerry paid lip service to the unremitting campaign of terrorism that has been waged by palestinians against the jewish state for nearly a century. what he did was to spend most of his speech blaming israel for the lack of peace by passionately condemning a policy of enabling jews to live in their historic homeland and in their eternal capital, jerusalem. hundreds of suicide bombings, thousands, tens of thousands of rockets that the people of israel had to endure because of policies that at the time won the thunderous applause of the world. i don't seek applause. i seek security, peace, prosperity and the future of the jewish state, the jewish people have sought their place under the sun for 3,000 years. and we're not about to be swayed by mistaken policies that have caused great, great damage. israelis do not

that was pretty scathing response to john kerry's speech. he may not have intended it, i fear in his speech and action at the u.n. he has emboldened extremists on both sides. >> last time u.n. did anything good in 1991 when it got together in order to kick saddam hussein out of kuwait. got george bush, first george bush put that coalition together. they were able to get saddam hussein out kuwait. >> he could have done that without the u.n.? >> that was the last time the u.n. got together to do something specific. maybe could have done it without the u.n. but used u.n. to do it. dagen: meantime they're partying on our dime. move on. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren sparking early talk she may plan a white house run in four years as one top member of her party says that the class of 2020 is shaping up to be an old folks home. whether that is the case and what a warren run could mean for the democrats. ♪ taking a holiday in britain, are ya doll? well, the only place you need go... london's got the best of everything. cornwall's got the

have you view john kerry's words? stephen: i tend to think, is not clear what the goal of the speech was and who the audience was. if he was trying to speak to the israeli public, secretary of state john kerry certainly further distanced himself from the israeli public by not addressing palestinian incitement to terror, not addressing palestinian terror and not addressing hamas in a strong way. focusedd over these and in a excessive way on the issue of the settlements combining those far outposts to even jewish communities in jerusalem within the old city. to the israeli public, this really wasn't an effective speech, and because of that, netanyahu can gain points from .t of course everyone expected netanyahu to respond against the speech, and that's exactly what he did. audience, it's helpful to netanyahu. it's not clear how this speech will help the democratic party in america. in the secretary's last few days, i don't expect strong support from democratic members of congress in america thomas to come out and suppor

is this where john kerry is just finally revealing it in public? >> john kerry is irrelevant. he is a man who probably doesn't know what day of the week it is. he's just a bag man for the white house. the people here that are most culpable are individuals like ben rhodes, the deputy national security adviser, and also the president himself. remember, i mean, nobody should be surprised at this, peter, that this happened. look at the last eight years. look at the fact that the people who helped get president obama elected, that team was sent to israel to work against bibi netanyahu in the election. that's all you need to know. this is pure personal animus against israel and against the administration of bibi netanyahu. >> the white house has denied that that meeting happened with the palestinian leaders. you qualified it and said we have to see how it all turns out. the bottom line is where do you think we go from here? president-elect donald trump has said he's going to be a staunch ally of israel but there are many who believe this two-state solution is on life support at best

and specifically for president obama and secretary of state john kerry. these two leaders were not speaking to each other. they had one person in mind. kerry with himself in mind and netanyahu had president-elect donald trump in mind. they not so much respond to each other as they made their points. kerry talking about settlements in the israeli government and then the settlements in the middle east. here is part of what netanyahu said. >> the refusal to recognize the jewish state remains the core of the conflict. its removal is the key to peace. palestinian rejection of israel in support for terror are what the nations of the world should focus on if they truly want to advance peace. i can only express my regret and say it is a shame that secretary kerry does not see this simple truth. >> reporter: netanyahu reiterating his position he doesn't believe settlements are the plan to peace. settlements are part of the problem. the palestinians for their part welcome the speech. it is part of what is required along with the united nations security council reso

on john kerry and middle east peace, in his first year in office, john kerry made no less than 11 trips to the middle east and a number of more trips to european capitals with the purpose to negotiate and have talks between the palestinians and israelis. i was with him on those trips and he worked his tail off trying very hard and obviously it failed. the larger question here is u.s. approach to the middle east peace. and for 20 years, u.s. has been trying to get sort of the big deal, the home run, solve everything at once, come to agreement on everything, refugees, status of jerusalem on absolutely everything, peace and security and hasn't worninged. and the principles that john kerry laid out are not that different. and from bill clinton and george bush and none of that worked. i talked to david who had been a middle east peace negotiator and he made the point when you try to go for the home run sometimes you strike out. and i think at this point, john kerry is trying to lay the groundwork of ideas that are ilt into the january peace talks that is coming up in paris. we don't know how

all of them applauded john kerry's speech. what they are trying to remind the world is that the problem is not a boutique problem that's siloed off from the rest of the issues in the region. it matters to all sides. i think when donald trump sits behind the desk, he will see that there are other parties to this conflict than just israel. that have to be weighed and considered. i think this is part of the portfolio of questions. it's frustrating for president obama because he started two years of his administration almost focused on trying to solve this problem and got nowhere. this is a checking off the box, a recognition that they weren't able to solve this problem. but it was something they invested a lot of resources in early in the obama administration. >> steve, over the past aieight years, how many times have they sat down to discuss peace negotiations? >> during the first couple of years when you had -- netanyahu was sworn in and came into office for his second term about six weeks after president obama was sworn in. th

who said that john kerry and what he said was just pathetic. has it reached that point now as we enter the final weeks of the palm administration, where you in israel can say their policy and their actions really are pathetic? >> i think anybody means bad and we've demonstrated the fact that israel and the united states are aligned on the security side shows that -- we're aligned in our values and our will to make a better world. however, it's just a failed bad policy. you need to change policy and things will probably be much better than they were before. >> all right. we'll be watching for that. i do want to point out everyone that we called the u.s. state department and asked them to comment on this and we did not hear back, so thank you very much mr. mayor for joining us. we appreciate you being here today. >> my pleasure. >>> we're getting some new reports that the berlin terrorist, amri may have had some help in carrying out the terror attack that killed 12 people. >>> a tweet by sin abandon by the late carrie fisher has been since called

it can't be decided by united nations or john kerry or president obama. john kerry achieved the feat of alienating the israeli and palestinian by meddlingç nothi the peace process. and throwing israel to the wolves will not advance the cause of middle east peace. the u.n. is the worst forum to resolve the issue of palestinian and israeli. >> what is a better forum. >> the parties themselves without obama and kerry putting the thumb on the scale for the palestinians. >> the point of the u.n. this is an area that is in dispute for a very long time and not being resolved on its own. the argument is to get together as a unitedç group of nations foster a solution and negotiation. >> such an organization would make sense if it did not have a long and ugly history bis against israel. it is not a level playing field. more resolutions have been passed against israel in the u.n. than iran, north korea and syria and russia combined. it is a bad forum to work through the issues. if countries want to be helpful, they can help behind the scenes and the united state

but now i must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john kerry. a speech that was almost as unbalanced as the anti-israel resolution passed at the u.n. last week. in a speech ostensibly about peace between israelis and palestinians, secretary kerry paid lip service to the unremitting campaign of terrorism that has been waged by

you would not get this from the john kerry speech. >> no. dagen: that the two-state solution has been on, essentially a dead end. it has been on life-support for a number of years. he said far better to it have a three-state solution. return gaza to egypt and give those parts of the west bank that israel is prepare to cede to jordan. you attach palestinian lands to real economies, not a make-believe one. that will benefit all. kennedy: so you obviously have a president with no political experience which arguably could be his greatest strength. and he is going to have unorthodox approaches all ways he governs in a number of crises. dagen brings up ambassador bolton's point about a three-state solution. what do you see president-elect trump doing with israel as an ally? what, out of the box solution to do you see them coming up with? >> i'm not quite sure. we've seen from president-elect trump, his viewpoint on foreign policy and measures he will take throughout the administration will be drastically different than president obama's. we saw hi

they don't want to get into the policy around secretary of state john kerry's speech. as for prime minister benjamin netanyahu perhaps here he's trying to build up a bit of goodwill before secretary of state john kerry speech. what will be outlined in that -- how to deal with sensitive issues. and that's what israel is concerned about how he lays out his vision, with how to deal with those, giving a bit of a preview here. >> this is an issue in the middle east that he's worked on for many, many years. i think, you know, he feels its his duty. and his waning weeks and days as secretary of state to lay out what he believes is a way towards a peaceful two-state solution in the middle east. >> so, what is kerry's -- what is israel's concern here, rather. the concern is that what kerry says which is to say, the paramet parameters, the issues he sets on resolutions could then be taken by other countries to the u.n. security council and that could lead to another resolution. if it's nonbinding that will be one more blow to the israeli government. and that explains, joe, why p

john kerry, about comments that john kerry. yes. john kerry, the outgoing secretary of state has described israeli government is the most right wing in history. theresa may said that it was inappropriate for him to talk about it but radically elected government this way. here's the outgoing secretary of state and he is raising the alarm over the fact that time may be running out for a two state solution there. i mean, you hesitate to say anything but he probably feels as if he can say slightly more about what he thinks. that is what always happens at the end of administration. they feel emboldened. theresa may, on the other hand needs a relationship with donald trump in the us going forward. what she seems to be objecting to is not so much what she said in raising the alarm but attacking the israeli government and ministers specifically. that is what she is objecting to. and, yet, britain voted for the resolution last week. yes. we went further than the united states. america abstained. but to go from backing the resolution and

john kerry wanted to give this speech but was blocked by the white house. when it came out at 72 minutes it was passionate, defensive. he feels the two-state solution is in jeopardy. there was also a warning. firing a flare across israel to try to show israelis that the two-state solution and indeed israel's own security is jeopardiz jeopardized. he said they are candid thoughts, uncomfortable truths to israel and as mentioned at the beginning he said israel is a friend but friends need to tell each other the hard truths. he spoke frankly because that solution, israelis and palestinians living side by side in peace, he said, was in serious jeopardy. that solution, he said is the only way to ensure israel's future and future peace. he said it won't ever really be at peace if it chooses a one-state solution. he said many jewish settlers wanted that. they say the two-state solution is not just dying but all but dead. what struck me again was the defensive mode defending that refusal in the united nations or for the first time in 40 years the refusal to block a

john kerry, no one cares what john kerry says about the middle east. it is a new page moving forward. we care what the president-elect is going to do about the mess this president created and the reset with russia, what happened in libya, so many things are so screwed up, we have to take the blue by the horns and reestablish trust with our allies and fear with our foes and that is what the president is going to do. i don't know anyone who cares what john kerry says and with regard to the president, just go away and go away with dignity, you are not running for a third term, don't hang out in dc every time this president-elect makes a decision, try toounter him because all the policies he put forth people don't like. pretty simple. ashley: i think that says it for a lot of people, thank you for joining us. thank you so much. let's take a look at two events, the dow on the right turning out to be a bit of a dud but i am not giving up, down 15 points at this hour, 19929, still 71 points and now john kerry has arrived at the podium at the state department

kerry. >> senator, did john kerry's speech make things worse? it seems to have inflamed things as the administration is weeks from being out the door. >> although i deeply respect secretary kerry's very hard work in pursuit of peace, i question the timing and the purpose of today's speech. he spent and criticized the policy of israel and very little time talking about how that was. there have been real difficulties. and some of the recent decisions by the netanyahu government and in terms of increasing the pace of settlement activity. they can be seen as moving away from a two-state solution. the way for us to make progress is not by speeches given in the last three weeks. they are pushing both parties and not in a public scolding such as secretary kerry delivered today. >> what do you think is the future of the u.s. alliance between donald trump and benjamin netanyahu? >> it's tough to know what president-elect trump will do on any issue in the course of his campaign he changed positions so many times on many key core issues. but who he is choo
