iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. >> it does not block a path to the bomb. it paves the path to a bomb. prayers for peace, in kenya christians gathered under tight security for good friday a day after four gunmen stormed a college campus killing 147 people. >> i'm fearful and don't know what to do unless we are convinced that there's -- >> they come rescue this before it gets bad like it did yesterday. >> and cast away after 66 days stranded at sea, a man is rescued off the coast of north carolina and lives to tell his tale. >> all they saw was this. so the whole time i was out there waving my arms and they eventually saw it and saw me on the front of my boat standing up there waving my arms and they turned that huge skyscraper

around. good day, i'm luke russert in washington in for the great andrea mitchell. the reaction to the nuclear agreement with iran has been mixed. we've seen everything from supportive statements and cheering crowds to frustrated lawmakers and world leaders and we're still 90 days from any resolution on this complex issue. chuck todd is nbc news political moderator and host of "meet the press." we have a very interesting debate to play out between now and june 30th. before we get to that just in terms of the context of obama's legacy, i'm interested to hear your opinion. in 2008 when president obama was running for president, he said i'm going to talk to america's enemies and i'm going to try and work forward on some sort of

compromise with america's enemies. we've had this policy of shuning discussion and we should not do that. in 2009 in his inaugural address, essentially saying we need to unclench the fist that is iran in the middle east. quite significant, he was able to pull this off. almost the ultimate rebuke of the axis of evil -- >> you start saying what does the legacy look like if this deal does what he hopes it does and did prevent nuclear proliferation, you'll have iran and cuba and have myanmar. that is a diplomatic legacy that i believes he was running on the whole time in 2007 this was always going to be the style of foreign policy that he would be -- it was diplomacy first, diplomacy almost at any cost. go with it should always be the american way of doing things. i think when you look and put all three countries in that context, i think that certainly is the legacy he hopes he's leaving, now the details of the

iranian deal i think are -- let's look at nuclear proliferation. anything about this deal going to prevent saudi arabia and egypt from thinking in the next 15 years they need to develop a nuclear program. that to me is going to be one of the fund amountle tests. >> he has a fine line to walk not only between saudi arabia and egypt but if the deal were to collapse here at home what's to say russia, china india -- >> would they ever come back? >> and essentially say we're not going to uphold these sanctions. interesting reaction from iran rowhani, his tweet, always a believer in negotiations and dialogue, was negotiating on this very nuclear case prior to sanctions. interesting how iran and iran's leaders are trying to sort of modernize in a sense, they don't like to be the par iahs in the middle east. it almost seems the obama

administration had a calculated decision to make and said we need to be closer to iran because they mightpower brokers in the region. >> that is what scares saudi arabia. doing this deal have you strengthened iran? i think some of the united states will acknowledge, yes, but they would argue iran was gaining influence regardless at the end of the day, is that just an acknowledgement, it's going to be a statement of fact better we have open dialogue with both countries and with the ability to do both. but it's undeniable fact this deal strengthens iran in the region, period. you lift these sanctions, it strengthens iran and gives -- you see there are opposition leaders against assad who unanimously are talking today and they fear it gives iran more resources financially to continue to prop up assad and it's those issues that has saudis and israelis and

egyptians to concerned. >> you say the deal strengthens iran and that's certainly something that's true. how will you administration sell that to congress? i think it's under reported you're approaching veto proof majority on this corker menendez deal which guarantees congressional review of any nuclear deal. congress wants to be heard. they feel they've been forced out all along. seemingly you'll have republicans lock step against this capacity. president obama has to work members of his own party. >> he does. he does have a short term asset on his hands, it's easter and passover these guys aren't here. he gets a 72-hour head start to shape the debate. and sell the deal. you only have printed statements essentially to chuck schumer is the one most jarring to me his statement about two sentences long other than praising kerry for his hard work, basically says i'm going to wait to see

the deal. when it comes to whether there's going to be a veto proof majority or not and checking the president on this here's -- i think the president set up -- his critics say it's a straw man but set up an important argument, the republicans or democrats that criticize the deal, what was the alternative to not doing a deal? what does the alternative deal look like if you didn't do a deal? was that really a better outcome? and i think what essentially the president is trying to say look bad outcome, bad outcome no matter how you do it i'm picking the one the least bad outcome. >> we appreciate that and we'll have a lot more on "meet the press" this sunday and interview with the new commissioner of major league baseball rob manfred, that is appointment tv. let's turn to andrea's interview with secretary kerry moments after announcing the deal. what kerry expects the reaction to be from congress and how to

know whether iran is really up to. >> mr. secretary, president obama said if iran cheets, we will know it. how can you be so sure? they've cheated before? >> we have extraordinary extensive verification measures that have not been applied before and we will have state of the art television cameras within centrifuge production facilities and cradle to grave tracking of uranium ireuranium from the mine to the mill and where it goes in spent fuel. so we have -- you know that is an amazing amount and we have a new dispute process which will allow us to be able to finalize access where we need it. so -- we feel strongly that there's going to be joint venturing and people are going to be in there, whether it's china or korea or france or one country or another. there will be a lot of insight

into the iranian program. we already have a lot and found over the course of the last months that the interim agreement, everybody agrees has been lived up to and nobody -- therefore is feeling that we don't have the ability to be able to put tracking in place that we need. >> critics have said that you're not accounting for past suspicious activity warheads and missiles -- >> actually, we've accounted for it. we know they have it and we also know they did some things. we absolutely do. i can't go into all of the details of that. but we're going forward to be able to prevent them from doing those things. we're very very confident about the regime that is in place, there's an additional protocol which has to be applied which hasn't been in iran which is required by the npt. they've agreed to accept it and ratify and live by it. there is beyond that several different codes that will be applied and there are new measures that have never been

applied like radio transmitter seals on centrifuges so you don't have to wait for the inspector to go in. you get an instantous knowledge that something is being tampered with. there's lots of things here and obviously we're going to have to be vigilant. you can't develop the bomb without the uranium and you have to have the enriched uranium. that's why we've limited enrichment. there's no enrichment in facilities where it had been previously and we'll have inspectors on a regular basis in there determining that. so we feel very strongly that the knowledgeable expert community as they look at this is going to have a sense of confidence and that's something we've been doing a lot of work to ascertain before we reached an agreement. >> what about congress? they are not always knowledgeable scientific community, even after -- >> congress i know will spend the time and look at this closely and some have already

made up their minds and automatic response we understand that. but i think most senators and congressman are going to want to see this examine it talk to people listen to the experts and that's what we ask them to do make the judgment based on facts. >> mr. zarif said there will be no sanctionses on the islamic republic of iran but you haven't agreed on timing? >> he's right in the sense when the agreement is over there won't be so that's a correct statement ultimately. but in the meantime there will be restrictions and restraints. the arms embargo, ballistic missile, those haven't been lifted. those are things we need to continue to negotiate. what's the timing? what's the methodology? we're approaching it very carefully in order to be certain about what happens. >> yet he read a very boilerplate statement and the fact sheet that you and the president released is much more specific. if you couldn't agree on standing up together and

announcing together exactly what you've agreed on here what makes you think in the next three months you're going to actually come to an agreement? >> because there's a great deal of difference for them between what happens now and where this goes and what can happen when you have a final signature. and there are a lot of things that get worked out that are important to them in that context that don't get worked out now in terms of limitations. we actually understand that and in fact we discussed it at great length. there are internal documents that people are working with which are quite specific -- >> do you think you can get a deal by june? >> i hope it's really dependent on the same kind of willingness to negotiate that we just found here -- you can't negotiate just one party, you have to have anybody who is a party to negotiation has to be engaged and working at it. so we'll see. i'm not promising anything nor is the president. what we've done is open up the opportunity. we have a chance now to work

with congress and answer questions and look at this carefully and negotiate it out and in a appropriate way and seal the deal. the people i've talked to who just become aware of where we are seem to be quite satisfied that this is much stronger than they thought it would be. >> you've been locked in a room without sleep, i don't know about food and water, are you aware of the impact you had on switzerland, pizza, the biking and whole john kerry pop culture craze? >> i have no sense of it. i haven't seen something. i'm sleep deprived. >> we'll fill you in later. >> thank you. >> thank you very much mr. secretary. >> it's a pleasure thanks. >> that was andrea mitchell of course with secretary of state john kerry just after yesterday's big announcement on iran. while secretary kerry returned home before dawn and quiet arrival, iran's foreign minister was met by large crowds iranians celebrating what they hope is the agreement that will lead to economic relief.

nbc news ali arouzi joins me now. people taking selfies with president obama's appearance as he was coming in from a speech piped in by the state run media, a lot of jubilation in the streets of iran. is it fair to say iranians feel they've turned a corner and are moving a step closer to being more accepted by the world? >> actually luke that was the objective of the iranian people. they wanted economic relief and wanted to come out from the cold. they wanted to stop being recorded as a par rye i can't around the world. to get visas because of restrictions on this country. they were really really boosted and that showed with the people that came out to greet zarif when he arrived at the airport. he got a rock star's welcome, which is very unusual. as you mentioned, people in iran were taking selfies --

television, during ahmadinejad's period that would have been unthinkable if somebody took a picture of themselves with president bush and put it on social media, they would have probably ended up in jail. there's a changing of attitudes amongst the government here and amongst the people and they are hoping this will be the turning point for their country and for their livelihood here. it's been a very tough time for the iranian people. frozen out of the banking section and because of the sanctions that have been imposed on the country, it's been difficult for people to get medicine just the basic things that you need to survive in life have been very difficult for them and they are hoping that will all change. another big thing people are hoping here for a big boost in business. when president rouhani came out to give his speech he promised to extend his hands to all businesses in iran and the government is going to give them a boost. that's what people really wanted to hear here. they wanted to put money back

into their wallet to put savings into their accounts to be able to look after their family and their children and they think they'll be on the road to do that now. now, three months is a long time in iranian american politics and they have to sign on the dotted line but i think they'll probably get there. if they don't, it will be a huge disappointment for people in iran. >> ali, thank you so much for your wonderful reporting this week in iran. up next more outrage after a deadly attack by al qaeda offshoot al shabab. and next step after indiana and arkansas moved to change the religious freedom laws. what does that mean for 2016? in california the good life on hold the golden state devastated by historic drought. >> if you've got a pool and it's already filled. you'll be able to refill up to a foot of water and that's a nice option for people.

welcome back now to breaking news a fds woman has been charged with planning to go overseas to join isis. just yesterday two men from queens were arrested after the fbi said they plotted for months to set off a bomb in the united states. nbc justice correspondent pete williams joins us now with details. what do we know? >> what these cases show is two things, number one, that women are involved in these efforts and two the vigilance of the fbi. in the brooklyn case yesterday it's pretty clear the women had certainly intent to attack the u.s. they said pretty harsh things to

an undercover informant and in touch with al qaeda people overseas and never did despite months of study reading books, never did get their hands on explosives and figured out how to make a bomb. they got propane tanks but that's apparently as far as they got. there was never actually any explosives or plot. the woman today is another case of someone from the united states wanting to go overseas to join isis. she was stopped by the fbi. she had been in touch on twitter and on the internet with someone that the fbi says was involved in syria and she had bought an airplane ticket, she was apparently going to fly to spain and take the bus to istanbul turkey and try to get there into syria to join isis and she's been arrested as well. it shows the vigilance of the fbi and women are involved in these things. >> pete williams thank you so much. a little bit of silver lining the fbi has been able to clamp

down on these potential threats take care. we're learning more about the brutal terrorist attack on a college campus in kenya. many of them christians singled out by gunmen. nbc's chief global correspondent bill neely filed this report from kenya's capital that nairobi. >> reporter: it is a terrible story to bring you this good friday morning. at least four gunmen in suicide vests targeting a college campus before dawn. they attacked students in their dormitories and survivors said the gunmen asked their religion. if you were christian, you were shot on the spot. it took kenyan troops hours to corner the gunmen after a day

long siege they believed they killed them all. the gunmen from the somali based al shabab group which massacred people at the shopping mall two years ago. >> this is a moment for everyone throughout the country to be vigilant as we confront and defeat our enemies. >> kenya's president was visibly shaken. his country is too, braced for more. >> this could be a prelude to other attacks, mostly in nairobi or in ethiopia and against western ex-pats. >> critically injured students have been air lifted to the hospital in the capital of the hundreds more traumatized in what was the deadliest attack ever on a university. a front line state in the battle with islamists. one of the aims was to pull kenya's religions apart.

this country part christian, part muslim today the religions are pulling together. the #onekenya is trending on social media. the people here shaken by defiant. back to you. >> bill neely, thank you for that. al shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack. joining me now with more on that is the director of the middle east and north african research analysis at slashpoint global partners. what do we know about this and al shabaab. is this something that africa and african nations like kenya and ethiopia will have to guard against for the foreseeable future? >> i believe so. a number of countries have to take precautionary measures against any kind of terrorist attacks. these are preventative measures but we know kenya has been in the cross hairs of shabaab for many years now, they have

conducted a number of attacks there and al qaeda conducted a number of attacks since 1998 attack on embassy. there was a bombing that was claimed responsibility for and this is the most -- biggest attack let's say under the new leadership of shabaab, a shabaab leader was killed in a drone strike last year and the new leader has taken charge. it appears that he is making his fingerprint on this attack. >> tribal differences is something that's been in africa for a very long time and now when you have this sort of terror coming from al shabaab it plays into a different situation to know who is truflts trust worthy and who is not. a friend of my training in the military i said are you going to middle east?

he said no, for the foreseeable future most of us are going to africa. is this the beginning, that this is perhaps the next frontier that will be a u.s. point of interest for quite a while? >> look africa is a new territory for a number of al qaeda and other radical terrorist groups. trying to really find operational territory there. we know that isis has expanded in nigeria now and al qaeda is expanded in eastern africa and there's a lot of territory that they can infiltrate if they suffer from lack of security and law and order. but you know i believe that any territory today that does not have any adequate governance groups like shabaab and isis and others are going to try to take advantage of that and expand it. in this new front in africa african governments and of course president kenyatta in kenya, they have to be really careful and amplify their security around soft tarkts and take the threats being issued by

these groups very seriously and of course there is a trend so the next attack will likely be just as big we have to be really really cautious. >> large areas where there is a lack of governance. the vacuum can be filled by these groups. thank you for joining us we appreciate it. >> up next hillary's hipster head quarter, the promptive candidate books space for her campaign in waiting. he says she's an undisciplined overwaterer. she claims he's a cruel underwaterer. with miracle-gro moisture control potting mix, plants only get water when they need it. fight ended. or shifted? miracle-gro. life starts here. when the moment's spontaneous, why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain

we've been watching this developing story outside louisville, kep, a massive fire sent black smoke into the air which could be seen for miles around. residents within a half mile are being asked to stay inside and shut all of the windows and doors. the blaze broke out in a building at ge appliance park five alarm fire. an amon mouse employee sent this

photo, it appears to have been taken from inside the warehouse when the fire began but yet to be verified by nbc news. according to ge the offices were closed at the time and no injuries were reported. the governors of indiana and arkansas hope to take a step forward signing dualing re -- dueling religious freedom acts that critics said created an opening for businesses to discriminate against the lgbt community but the backlash continues for angie's list who calls it insufficient and the controversy is meddling with national politics. just today arnold schwarzenegger, yeah he's back said the situation is bad for the gop tweeting i hope what happened in indiana was a teachable moment for all of my fellow rpz. religious freedom is proving to be the first test for 2016 candidates. just how are they handling this issue? kelly o'donnell joins me with new york times reporter jeremy

peters, two people covering this and interesting, monday pence is moving forward on bill gets the support of jeb bush scott walker marko rubio and flips himself on tuesday and those candidates are left hanging in the wind. they went further to the right on this out of the gate than probably was good for them in a general -- okay in a primary. >> one of the hard things for candidates, an event that comes up, on the face they know what the facts are and make a comment. and the inability to really gauge where something is heading, that's always treacherous. religious freedom is safe ground for conservatives. typically it is absolutely something to get behind. there was actual fehr ver that went in that direction. now you see that and they are kind of out of touch with the social environment we're in.

wouldn't have expected corporations typically, very friendly to republicans and chamber of commerce mold weighing in as they have. it's an inability to see beyond the corner. >> you have corporations like walmart and nascar nascar which is i think the embodiment of red blooded america saying these laws moving forward are problematic. i was struck by jeb bush because he seemed to have said two things, a conservative radio appearance, said one thing and private fundraiser said another being -- these ads are okay but if they are not inclusive. is it a risk for jeb bush to go down this conservative rabbit hole. he has to win colorado florida, virginia states that are more along the lines of where america is in supporting gay marriage 59-33. >> looking at the makeup of the republican party right now there's a consensus among the smartest strategists there that the party is simply not big enough to elect a republican

president in 2016. are you going to further shrink the voters of pool available, not just gays and lesbians but the vast majority of americans who support their rights. one of the things getting overlooked in this debate is there are really two issues at stake here. one of them is the larger question of whether or not it should be okay to deny services to gays and lesbians that's what we don't know some of these laws might enable or not and that is a question by and large people agree no that should not be the case. the other is the more nuanced and complicated question whether or not businesses -- bakeries wedding photographers should be compelled to participate in same sex wedding ceremonies and that one i think there is more reasonable disagreement on. >> a good friday gift one could

say from noncandidate ted cruz just released this ad take a listen. >> were it not for the transformative love of jesus christ, i would have been raised by a single mom without my father in the household. god's blessing has been on america from the very beginning of this nation over and over again when we faced impossible odds, the american people rose to the challenge. this is our fight and that is why i'm running for president of the united states. i'm ted cruz and i approve this message. >> i want both of your opinions kelly o'donnell, an ad talking to evangelical christian conservatives, his advisers said if the gop nomination was a bracket that they were the first seed amongst christian conservatives. >> he is looking to occupy the space that mike huckabee had and rick santorum had.

the evangelical voters always turn out and active and vocal about their support. he wants to occupy that space early and often. i heard him tell the story about his father many times and religious conversion really protected his family and how moving that is. the ted cruz we know in washington, that story doesn't come up all the time. in campaign life it speaks to that constituency and he's going for that. >> more bombastic in washington. jeremy it seems that cruz sees this as the ticket to possibly contending. moving up in the polls, kind of challenging scott walker and getting a little energy. i would say the most interesting thing cruz will do is how far he'll take the eelectorate to the right. >> that's the whole thing, you talk to republicans who are really smart about where the votes are going to be in 2016 and there is -- they will tell you there's almost no evidence

that the eevangelicals he turned have not turned out are really -- >> karl rove had a great column, republicans have been saying for years, nominate someone conservative enough, republicans will come out. >> but in the primary face they do turn up and you're competing against each other rmt. you may not expand the party but you have to get to the finish line. >> kelly o'donnell, jeremy peters, thanks you so much for joining us. first lady and mom in chief went on jimmy fallon michelle obama backed the tonight show and treated the evolution of mom dancing part two. take a look. ♪

obama, this was a tough negotiation and i look at it in bay bipartisan terms. i served in the administration as a career officer and this process and then we began the sanctions and i think the obama administration played this very effectively. what they did is they had -- they combined international pressure through sanctions with this united negotiating group. we had russian and chinese on our side of the table and iranians needed a deal because they are suffering from sanctions. so far so good. the last point i would say, it's a long long road to june 30 which is the date when the deal will be finally reached if it is reechds. and the iranians are inconsistent and unreliable as a government and obama administration will have to keep iranians focused on implementing this. >> let's talk about what means for international relations between the u.s. and these other emerging super powers like china

and india and russia. is there a shall we say threat that if in fact the congress kills this deal that those countries can say, you know what, united states, iran did a get job here they came to the tablg, we're not back you up. is that a real threat? >> i think there is that danger. if the u.s. in effect walks away from this because congress tries to block the administration or refuses to agree to some of the lifting of sanctions, which is a little bit down the road it's going to empower the iranians. the advantage we have right now, they are the ones isolated and really need this deal. we've got the sanctions worked not just because the united states has been sanctioning iran since the 70s, it's because the european union put an oil and gas embargo on them and the european union engaged in financial sanctions because russia and china held firm with us and india and japan and south

korea stopped buying iranian energy. if we walk away we lose all of that pressure and the iranians are at the advantage. i do think congress has a major responsibility. congress has a role obviously the administration will have to brief in detail to members of congress and various committees but i'm a believer in executive branch power, i think the president should be allowed to finish the negotiations by june 30 and then if congress wants to vote in some way despite the fact it's not a treaty and nonbinding agreement, that's probably the appropriate sequence i would say. i think that is the one danger here that the congress might not want to go along. that means the president will have to work very hard to persuade republicans as well as democrats this is in our best interest. >> important to remember it's more than the u.s. and iran and israel, the world is watching. nicholas burns from harvard, we appreciate it. still to come dry times, california tries to figure out what a summer with no water will

survive. thursday morning an incredible stroke of luck jordan's small sailboat was spotted by the houston express, a massive containership 200 miles off the coast. >> saw me on the front of mee boat waving my arms and turned that huge skyscraper around -- >> reporter: a coast guard chopper lifted him from the deck of the houston express flying him to norfolk. louis is thinner and bit shagier than before his ordeal but he's happy to be home. are you ever going to sail again? >> i don't know. >> will you ever let him get out on that boat again? >> i don't know. not in the ocean. >> reporter: really just an incredible story of survival. by the way, the coast guard tells me that crew that came to pick him up yesterday, the mechanic that was on board, it was the very first rescue that that mechanic had ever been involved in and what a rescue it was indeed for that coast guard

crew. we're going to be talking to them as well today, back to you. >> what a story. tom costello from norfolk, wild. up next water reductions in california amid a historic drought. will those reductions be enough? this is msnbc. i love making sunday dinners. but when my back hurt, cooking all day... forget about it. tylenol was ok, but it was 6 pills a day. but aleve is just 2 pills all day. and now, i'm back! aleve. rma. checking your credit score is for chumps. i have great credit. how do you know? duh. you know those change, right? tattoos don't change. try credit karma. it's free and you can see what your score is right now. aren't you a little bit curious? i just got my free credit score! credit karma. really free credit scores. really free. i have got to update my ink.

welcome back we turn now to california wherefore the first time in history governor jerry brown is ordering mandatory water restrictions as the state enters its fourth year of unprecedented drought. joining me now is jay, senior water scientist and professor at the university of california. thank you so much for being on the show. >> thank you for having me. >> how did california and the rest of the west find themselves into this horrific situation? you look at the graphics and it's deep red, signifying drought over that part of the country. >> well it's been going on for

a few years. and some people think that the drought conditions have been going back as far as 2006 and maybe even early 2000s. so drought is kind of like that. it kind of creeps up on you and by the time you figure it out that it's happening, you can be in very rough shape. >> what can be done? i spent a few months in l.a. a few years ago and somebody told me you know what it's perhaps morally reprehencible to have a garden, everyone should have cactuses and rocks. is that what the future entails? green lawns and fertilizer like that is something of the past? >> i think so. i think the biggest use of water in the home in california and the west is for watering the grass. we just don't have the water supply to support it anymore, we have to let it go and think more about native landscaping. >> and 64 million people are

directly impacted by this drought. what happens to people? is there a way out of this or can you have something more severe than a 25% restriction in the near future? >> we can manage our way through it. we will be facing some severe water cutbacks. but if the drought conditions continue, i think we can expect to find ourselves in a pretty dire situation. >> sobering to say the least, professor james eddie, thank you so much. >> that does it for this edition of "andrea mitchell reports." hope you have a great holiday weekend and happy easter and passover and final four and opening day of the monday on the show andrea will interview a key player in the iran nuclear negotiations earnest moniz. look at that hair.

i even accept that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't accept giving it less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin ...i will. eliquis. eliquis... reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin plus it had less major bleeding than warfarin... eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept that i'm not as fast, but i'm still going for my personal best... and for eliquis. reduced risk of stroke...

plus less major bleeding. ask your doctor... if eliquis is right for you. in small business you have to work hard, know your numbers, and stay focused. i was determined to create new york city's first self-serve frozen yogurt franchise. and now you have 42 locations. the more i put into my business the more i get out of it. like 5x your rewards when you make select business purchases with your ink plus card from chase. and with ink, i choose how to redeem my points for things like cash or travel. how's the fro-yo? just peachy...literally. ink from chase. so you can. ♪ [upbeat music] ♪ defiance is in our bones. defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. easily absorbed calcium plus d. now in a new look.

hi everybody, i'm thomas roberts and the clock is ticking, news that hillary clinton has leased brooklyn office space to be used as a campaign headquarters, now has 15 days to go ahead and make a official presidential announcement and john kerry calls it a window of opportunity. this historic deal reached not just 24 hours ago to keep iran's nuclear program under control. full details ahead and why some think it's a recipe for disaster. the story of one sailor lost at sea for 66 days. how his quest for the ultimate catch nearly cost him his life. we do begin with this breaking news about former secretary of state hillary clinton, her expected 2016 bid for the white house. msnbc can confirm she signed a lease for office space in new york. this gives her space in two floors in a brooklyn building and the move gears clinton up for her widely expected

presidential run. alex sites wald joins me from washington with more on this. talk about why the clock is ticking. 15 days ahead of us. >> thomas once you do anything campaign related under federal election laws you have 15 days to officially declare your candidacy. she's in a testing the waters phase and technically exploring whether she wants to run. she has a lot of people working for her but not paid working as volunteers, as soon as you put money out and sign a lease or anything like this the clock starts ticking. we're looking at sometime by if not next week the week after next. >> so let's talk about that. they are working as volunteers and not being paid. they are just there and hanging out in brooklyn, just waiting to see what happens? >> it's a little bit more planning than that. they have job titles. most of them as far as i know have not been given a salary expectation but they are working. they are
