from jewish people has been overwhelmingly positive. >> as president of the united states would you use the words march the israels to the door of the of ven? >> yes, i would. >> msnbc exclusive. at this hour the obama administration is defending the iran nuclear deal on capitol hill. and we have an exclusive interview with the director of national intelligence james clapper. what is his assessment of the nuclear agreement? >> the intelligence community harbor nos illusions about iranian behavior. they are still a state-sponsored terrorisms. they still support proxies. hezbollah is an example. that will probably continue unfortunately and we will still have responsibility for monitoring those behaviors. and third term's a charm on the last day of his african tour president obama says he lofs his job and would keep it in he could. >> i actually think i'm a pretty good president. i think if i ran i could win.

but i can't. good day. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. mike huckabee is taking a page from the donald trump playbook defending a controversial comment in front of a national audience on "today." >> i would say we don't trust people who threatened to kill israel threatened to wipe them off the map, who have said that they are glad that they're con fre gated because it makes it an easy target. >> as president of the united states -- as president of the united states would you use the words march the israels to the door of the oven? >> yes i would. let me tell you why. because i have been to as witch three times. i have stood at that very place. i've been to you israel dozens of times. my first trip there was 42 years ago. with one thing i'm assured of is for 6,000 years jews have been

hunted down and the last time the world did not take seriously threats against the jewish people. just before world war ii, this ended up in the murder of 6 million jews. >> as president of the united states you would use words -- >> joining me now for our "daily fix" chris cillizza and "wall street journal" political editor jean cummings. chris, you wrote that we should not be surprised by muck huckabee and his previous comments going back to his previous campaigns? >> in 2008 the image most people got of mike huckabee fun loving, plays bass guitar, logsst a lot of weight. he's a baptist minister head of the arkansas baptist convention. he went to seminary school. this is someone who has long been extremely socially conservative and who views himself i think as sort of a fighter in the culture wars which he believes are ongoing.

in the last six months his comments in his book about beyonce knowles and jay-z, his refusal to back away from the duggar family amid the allegations with josh duggar. and this is the latest that people have their eyebrows raised. i would say those people who are shocked by huckabee saying these things didn't pay close attention to who mike huckabee always has been. >> and to what extent jean cummings, is huckabee competing in the trump primary, trying to get some space, some attention, especially in advance of the debate? >> absolutely. he's not going to back down because he's now been in the news cycle for two days. he hasn't been in the news cycle for two months up until this point. >> as he said himself to matt lauer today, he said, you know, i said it on weekend radio show on sirius radio, well, and matt said yeah now you're here on the "today" show. >> exactly. we may see here of this because they're all still jockeying to get on to that debate stage.

many of them are on the bubble. huckabee's numbers in the national polls may spike now because people are talking about him. and give him an opportunity to get on to a much bigger stage with all of the other dominant players. >> and remember, chris as you know so well, he won iowa by eight points back in '08. >> and as i noted in that piece you referenced andrea 60% of the electorate in the iowa caucus identified as evangelical christman cristhristian christians, he won 46% of that vote. donald trump is in some ways proving the all publicity is good publicity. i assumed wrongly that his numbers would dip after his comments about john mccain and the negative attention those got. mike huckabee may be figure the same thing, being in the news whatever that's for, and being in the news and having some in the news media sort of frown upon a comment you made may ultimately be sort of a good thing no matter if people agree or disagree with the comment at

the root of it. sort of being portrayed as the enemy by the media, the national media, whatever that means. may be the best publicity you can get at this point and such a crowded field with donald trump taking up so much space. >> speaking of donald trump and the john mccain comments in our nbc news marist poll which was taken midway between in the period half of those poll were questioned before the mccain comment, half afterwards. he still was leading in new hampshire even though in new hampshire the voters who don't like this kind of tough -- rough and tough campaign those questioned after the mccain comment where mccain is very popular in new hampshire, of course won the new hampshire primary in 2000 that -- that went down in new hampshire. but he still was leading the race. >> yes. >> having gone down after the mccain comments. >> i sent one of the "wall street journal" reporter out to the picnic that he had in iowa

over the weekend that trump had to specifically talk to the people in the crowd, you know, what is the dynamic here. it's a real dynamic. they know he has said these things. it's not like they're not paying attention. but they are so frustrated with the robotic nature of many politicians, with the way that washington operates today, that they -- his frustration that he's voicing, they share. and until someone interrupts that bond between them i think he's going to be hanging around for a while. >> chris cillizza where do we go from here with donald trump going into this debate ten days now in cleveland? you've got a debate where the ohio governor john kasich who recently declared and has credentials as a former house bud yet chair, negotiated a balanced budget. still he's not going to be on the stage.

>> where do we go from here with donald trump? andrea, i assume that i can take the full hour to respond to that question. the shortest answer i can think of is i really don't know. he has proven at least in the near term to be sort of above things that might doom other candidates with different expectations. i think jean is exactly right that part of his appeal is that he's willing to say things that people might not even agree with but they like him because he said it which is fascinating. i do think -- i've said this before. i do think there is a shelf life to trump, the candidate. i think some of his past positions, his support for democrats in the past some of those things will get more fully explored and i think will take some of the shine off of him. i don't think though that his message, which is washington is broken, these guys all take the same they say the same things i'll say whatever literally. i do think there is an appeal

for that message that will last i think, longer than donald trump the candidate will last. >> and jean cummings, this just in from john harwood, whom you know well. john harwood enterinterviewing chris christie in new hampshire and tweeting out what christie said about donald trump, not in the best interest of the party to have someone i don't think could be effective president as nominee and also christie on the real donald trump on twitter this is promises that can't be fulfilled, quote, hurt credibility of the presidency. so chris christie is you know he's going to -- >> he's going to position himself as an effective governor an effective leader someone who can go into the white house and govern. and he's making sharp contrast to the donald as the you know okay, that's carnival. this is government. >> he is taking him on which is something that some of the others have not been willing to do. >> i'm sure he's hope that donald will hit back because that will give christie another

day in the light. >> should worry that he doesn't have his private phone number and put that out on live television. jean cummings, chris cillizza thank you. now we have something special as the united states claims to have diminished the threat of another 9/11 type mass attack from core al qaeda, u.s. intelligence is now focusing on lone wolves. lone wolves recruited online by isis or isil as the group is also called. how serious is this problem to the homeland? i asked the head of all 16 national intelligence agencies retired general james clapper in an exclusive interview. >> well, it is a threat serious threat to the homeland i believe. and princeably through the detecting of classical intelligence and law enforcement techniques. as people are radicalized either by themselves or via social media by others and they're not

admitting any signatures that would tip us off, particularly in light of the growing use of encryption, when an overseas recruiter gets a promising prospect here in the united states on the line and then directs them to go to an encryption system and then we kind of lose the continueity. this puts a greater premium on the you see something, say something kind of thing because the people that are going to notice behavioral changes which is what's involved here are those closest to those being radicalized. and so we're very dependent, even more dependent now on citizens of this country to help us. >> the case of chattanooga, there was no warning from anyone that this young man was radicalized. >> exactly. and of course now after the fact we're researching his media and his laptop and his associations

to see if there was, in fact direction from afar and, thus far, there doesn't appear that there was. >> so there's no way to really defend against that unless someone has done something online and in the open. >> there are -- i'll say declining tools available to us in intelligence and law enforcement that would point to or enable us to identify someone who is in the process of radicalizing that's true. as i say, though it places a higher premium on detecting behavioral changes and normally that's going toby people who are close to the individual. >> does this mean that in this day and age, this ask more of a direct threat to the homeland than a massive attack from core al qaeda given how core al qaeda has been degrades? >> i would say so. we don't see right now the

prospect of an industrial sized attack of that magnitude as a direct threat. there are still those who are certainly certainly aspiration ali who would like to do that, one particular franchise of al qaeda, the one in the arabian peninsula, still committed to attacking the homeland. i think our more approximate threat are the so-called lone wolves and particularly in the manner in which isil which is the very skilled, sophisticated, and slick in communicating and in the ability to proscillite people. >> the iran deal is causing a huge stir in congress. how confident is the intelligence community that you will know if they cheat? couldn't they try to get something from north korea, from pakistan wouldn't you knowing? they've done it before.

>> well, i will say this about that deal the joint comprehensive plan of action. is from an intelligence perspective it puts us assuming iranian compliance, big assumption, if they do comply it puts us in a much better place to observe the entire industrial infrastructure of the iranian nuclear capability than we are today without it. but to give you an iron clad guarantee that we would immediately detect cheating of some form i can't say that. but we will certainly have much better insight and much better understanding of what the iranians are actually doing than we do today. >> what confidence do you have that this nuclear agreement and the relationships that have been developed will change their behavior regarding support for hezbollah or support for the hoodies in yemen and directly

through qods force. >> this was one dimension of iran which was a nuclear capability and that's a all that has been dealt with. so there are other nefarious activities. still a state-sponsored terrorism. they still support proxies. hezbollah is an example. that will probably continue unfortunately and we will still have responsibility for monitoring those behaviors. now -- so i don't believe the agreement in and of itself will change their behavior. there is the prospect i suppose, that it could lead to other things that might change their behavior. >> we'll have more from the chairman, the director of national intelligence coming up next on cyber attacks and a lot more. and developing news from upstate new york today where the prison worker accused of helping two inmates escape last month has pleaded guilty with her husband in the front row of the

courtroom, joyce mitchell whispered guilty each time the judge asked how she pled to the charges of providing prisoners with some of the tools they used in their escape. joyce mitchell then broke into tears. david sweat and richard matt escaped from the clinton correctional facility and led police on a 20-damon hunt that terrorized the community. matt was shot and killed by police. sweat was captured two days later near the canadian border. coming up all the president's men, three top cabinet officials taking the heat on capitol hill over the iran nuclear deal. we'll talk to the chairman of the house homeland security committee mike mccall, one of those just delivering some of that heat. moments ago this. >> this secret deal between the iaea and iran -- >> there's no secret. >> are you going to present that to the congress? >> there is no secret deal. there is an agreement of the normal process of the iaea where they negotiate a confidential

agreement as they do with all countries, between them and the country. and that exists. we have briefed on it. >> are you going to present that to the congress? >> we don't have it. it is -- have you seen it? >> we have been briefed on it. i have not personally seen it.

time and i've got a lot of other questions. so you're not committed to following the law if you think it's a bad law. >> dealing with a hypothetical. i'd like secretary treasury to respond on the sanction. >> we're out of time. we're going to have to go to chris smith of new jersey. for the record -- >> mr. secretary, please put it

in the record and have it. >> on the sanctions issues there's a lot of responses to the questions that are being asked. if we've got a minute or two to respond it might be helpful to us. we want to understand the agreement. >> mr. smith. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> welcome to the committee, gentlemen. >> welcome to the committee indeed. secretary kerry moniz and lew back on the hill today having a hard time defending the deal. doubts about iran remain high as the president's salesmen are struggling to deliver their pitch to the house foreign affairs committee. >> what this agreement is supposed to do is stop them from having a nuclear weapon. now, i want to hear somebody tell me how they're going to do that without this agreement? i'd like to know how you're -- >> we're going to go to to mr. william from massachusetts. the gentleman's time is expired. >> what's the next step for the united states? nobody is answering that question. >> secretary kerry was responding to questions from republican congressman mike

mccall just moments ago. he joins me now. chair of the homeland security committee committee. thank you for being here. >> thanks, andrea. >> this has been rough but it wasn't even nearly as rude as the senate hearing last week when the secretary of state returned to his familiar grounds in the senate. what are your concerns? because you had an exchange we just played a few moments ago with secretary kerry where you said there are secret side deals with the international atomic energy agency and iran and he's saying they don't exist. >> well, i think -- >> what is your perspective? >> well, i think it's a lack of transparency. you know, i sent a letter along with the chairman of foreign affairs to allow congress and the american people to dlib deliberate this before it went to the u.n. security council. they did it in and around the american people and the u.n. security council, china, russia venezuela approved this deal before we had a chance to deliberate. then on the heels of the side

agreements between the iaea and iran, when i asked the secretary if he's going to present that to the congress i didn't get an adequate response to it. i also asked him if he's actually seen the side agreements, these secret deals that were done and his response was he has been briefed but has not seen them. so this goes to the verification process itself in terms of how can the iaea adequately verify that iran is not cheating which is done multiple times in the past. >> well, what they say in response to that and i was in vienna when all of this was being negotiated. the head of the iaea went twice to tehran to negotiate agreements with iran as they do with every other nonproliferation treaty signatory state. what they do is have confident confidential agreements. so he then returned and sat down with kerry and the others and briefed them on what he had just negotiated. that's not good enough for you.

>> well, under the law that we passed, the corker bill congress has the right to review this agreement. so if we're not going to produce everything, if we're going to hide secret deals from congress -- >> they're saying it's not secret. they are briefing you on it but it's not part of the agreement. >> i have not been briefed on it. >> verification process. okay. >> i have not been briefed on these secret deals. apparently the secretary has. and they have not presented this to the congress. i think that's -- you talk about trans parns si transparency, i think it will be helpful if there's no deception going on. we need to know the full picture here and what the iaea's verification north and process really is here because that's critical to this deal is could we verify if they're in compliance and right now this doesn't give us a warm and fuzzy on the heel that they're going to hide things like that for us. this not a partisan issue. i got to tell you, this is a very bipartisan opposition to a

deal that we think, and me as chairman of homeland security think, as we provide hundreds of billions of dollars of relief to iran will be used in terrorist operations against the west not to mention their icbm capabilities that were taken off the table. those restrictions lifted. we know there's only one reason why you do it it's intercontinental to deliver a nuclear device warhead. that's the united states of america. >> so you're not buying the argument that an iran terror state without a nuclear weapon is better than an iran with a nuclear weapon because their argument is that without this deal they break out immediately, they all of the restrictions that they've been living under for 18 19 months are lifted and they can do whatever the heck they want to do. >> well, i think we pass sanctions in the last decade during the congress to get them to the table to dismantle their programs. you talk to the countries that

know iran the best they fear this agreement the most. and that includes the saudis and includes israel i met with prime minister netanyahu. strong opposition because it allows them to continue their nuclear program, to enrich their uranium. then the bold statements that come out of iran about buying and selling weapons, you know any time anywhere, you know we also -- for the ayatollah's comments and death to america chants really makes us a little uneasy here in the congress as to the direction forward. >> what do you think about the way mike huckabee republican candidate for president, framed it when he said that this was the equivalent of marching israelis to the oven. was that appropriate or not. >> well, i don't think that's a productive to the discussion. i think, you know obviously those running for president have to say outrageous things to get attention, i guess, and try to get in the top ten to be in debates. but i think we need to keep this

irrational debate on the merits of the deal and not engage in a bunch of inflammatory rhetoric. but i think there are legitimate concerns that need to be brought out and, quite frankly andrea one of them is i'd like to see this agreement that was reached between ie and iran that's confidential and secret. if the secretary has seen this and they want congress to approve it we need to see it as well. >> do you think the deal is going to go through? >> i think the approval/disapproval resolution will pass. i think the real question is are there enough votes to override the deal. one other question i had for the secretary was that if congress did override the president's veto, what effect would that have in other words, would it collapse the entire deal. and his answer very honestly was, yes, it would stop this.

>> mike mckaul, thank you, congressman. thanks for much for coming out. >> thank you, andrea. and coming up next the search for those two missing teens stretching into its fourth day off the florida coast now heading up to georgia. their mothers answer the question so many are asking. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. do you like the passaaadd? it's a good looking car. this is the model rear end event. the model year end sales event. it's year end! it's a rear end event. year end, rear end check it out. talk about turbocharging my engine. you're gorgeous. what kind of car do you like? new, or many miles on it? get a $1000 volkswagen reward card on select 2015 passat models. or lease a 2015 passat limited edition for $199 a month after a $1000 bonus. i have type 2 diabetes. i started with pills. and now i take a long-acting insulin at night. i take mine in the morning. i was trying to eat right, stay active. but i wasn't reaching my a1c goal anymore.

most of this is old school. they're looking out the window of a plane trying to see if they can spot what they say amounts to the size of a basketball floating on the water. so you can take a look. hajj min imagine how difficult that is in plen traveling 170 miles per hour 500 feet above the surface. andrea, just in the last minute and a half or so we have thrown these balls out. you can see how they're traveling in the water with the current. we're not even in that gulf stream which is that constant flow north. you get an idea of how difficult it is for the coast guard. now, getting back to that question of whether these 14-year-olds were too young to be in the water out on a boat. some folks here in florida say it's akin to say, a farmer allowing their son or daughter to drive the combine or tractor. it's just what they do. the real question is whether 14-year-old boys may have violated their own parents' rules by leaving the safety of the inlet and coming out here

into the atlantaic ocean. andrea? >> and this morning the boys' mothers spoke out addressing question tons" today" show about why the boys were out on their own to begin with. >> this isn't new to them. it's -- it's in their blood. it's -- this is something they've prepared for their whole boating life. they're out there. >> if you're not surrounded in this community and you don't have it running through your blood, you will never be able to understand it. but we can assure everyone that these boys are skilled and knowledgeable and strong enough and have what they need to get through this. >> absolutely. >> the mothers' argument was echoed today by a friend of the boys maxwell ryan who often goes fishing with the two missing teens. >> they know everything to do. they know what to do if they get in trouble. they know how to make freshwater. i know they will be okay and they can survive. >> meanwhile, 911 recording has

just been released from the day the boys went missing when stepfather perry cohen called to report them missing. >> they went out on a boat offshore this morning. and they haven't been checked in since 11:25. >> okay. >> and we're calling their cellphones. the boys' cellphone and nobody is answering. and they're in a 1946 foot seacraft. >> and you haven't heard from them in how long? >> the mother of austin hasn't heard from him since 11:30 this morning. and usually he checks in and are told to check in on a regular basis. >> you know we had a storm before, too. >> up in jupiter? >> yes. >> stepfather says that one of the boys says that the teens were supposed to stay on the intercoastal waterway and not go out into the ocean. up next has bernie sanders

stolen the challenger role? we'll talk to another democrat, yes, there is another democratic presidential candidate in the race taking on hillary clinton. and coming up more of our exclusive interview with the director of national intelligence. here's what he had to say when i asked him earlier about the stresses of being in charge of all 16 intelligence agencies for the last five years. >> when i was on secretary of defense for intelligence, i did that for about 3 1/2 years before this job, about every six weeks i would gather a few people in the office on a friday night and we would have a drink. you know, i would have a martini and a couple other people would have beer or wine or something like that. this job, every night. doers. they don't worry if something's

you've got a hillary clinton dominating the polling and bernie sanders drawing the biggest crowds? >> only five of us so far so that's at least better than the republican side where there are 16. and that's the challenge, exactly. you've got secretary clinton who has the money and the organization and then senator sanders got on to a good issue, income inequality something he's lived with for his whole life so he's got that anti-clinton, if you will traction. the other candidates webb chafee, and oh ma'amo'malley have to keep plugging away. >> hillary clinton is going to spend millions and millions of dollars. what do you expect to spend? >> she's locked up a lot of the fund-raising. senator sanders is getting a little bit of grass roots support. but the issues are always important. the resume the vision for the future, high ethical standards. open hopefully that matters just as much as how much you're going to fund raise. if you've served your public well in your tenure in public

service. >> to paraphrase for those off us old enough to remember that why are you running for president? >> i have three children and i a irabout the future for all of our children and grandchildren, future generations. i'm concerned about what's happening in the middle east and north africa and the mistakes we've made by invading iraq and the ramifications now we live with and how are we going to fix that? the iran deal is a good model for future solving of the problems we have over there. but how this is going to effect the future generations. i served on the foreign relations committee when i was nut senate and i care about the repair work that's necessary after that colossal mistake of invading iraq. >> is that your biggest difference with hillary clinton, her vote for the iraq war if. >> and her tenure as secretary of state both. >> how so? >> both very hawkish. and it's just a different america than i want to see. i want to see us working with our allies making more friends, more alliances, and i'm just concerned that hawkish approach that got us into iraq and that

big mistake and she continued that approach to the world as secretary of state. so it's really looking to the future. people say you're looking back to the iraq war. no no, i like to look to the future and how we're going to fit into the world. >> if you're less hawkish than hillary clinton how are you different than bernie sanders who has more experience arguably and more support right now? >> well, he isn't talking about any of the international issues. i've never heard him talk a bit about anything international. he's on to an issue that is resonating and he's getting fund-raising and organization as a result. income inequalities. i'm talking about the international issues and how we fit in around the world and america's leadership that we should assume the responsibility that comes with the power that we have and how we xor sighs that power responsibly in all areas, whether it's climate change or military cultural economic, how america conducts itself on the world stage. >> lincoln chafee thank you so

much. as a young child behind hillary clinton, woman stole the show during the townal new hampshire. the little boy seen on her right tried to entertain himself with his curious george doll only to end up in his grandmother's lap, presumably his grandma, apparently unimpressed with her comments. we're sure it didn't bother clinton, a grand mother, herself. and up next, more of my exclusive interview if director of national intelligence. hear which he had to say about the recent cyber hacks on the u.s. government. >> we will see more of this so it does illustrate the extreme importance i think for everyone rather as a person or an institution of doing your best to protect yourself and avend against invasions of your data.

fbi director james comey and head of national intelligence james clapper both say that cyber attacks are among the greatest threats to the u.s. clapper is the only u.s. official to publicly say china's government likely did the giant -- the massive hack attack against opm. i asked clapper about how the u.s. can defend itself and even retaliate against china for the most massive cyber attack in american history affecting 22 million americans. >> well, this is as director comey indicated, a gold mine for a foreign intelligence service, whoever it was, and we are in the mode of reacting to these attacks, assaults this warning of intellectual property et cetera and until such time though as we can come up with some cyber norms which include some form of deterrence which

people recognize and respect, this will continue. as admire ral indicated this is not a one-off. and he's right. we will see more of this. so it does illustrate the extreme importance i think, for everyone whereas a person or as an institution of doing your best to protect yourself and to vend against invasions of your data. >> and if we don't respond to this attack isn't that just an invitation for them to do it again? >> well, i think that's right. in fact, a trend has been over the last few years that either nation state actor who are participating in he's activities or non-nation state entities get bolder and bolder. and so i think the next -- you know, the next event or the next type of attack will involve

delesion or manipulation of data as opposed to perhaps stealing it or denying service. so this -- i think we'll see a progression and expansion of that envelope until such time as we create both the substance and the psychology of deterrence. and today we don't have that. >> looking toward future threats, what about the work that russia and china are doing in space? is that a real concern? >> oh, it's a huge concern and unfortunately can't go into a lot of detail about it. we have recently published a national intelligence estimate on the very impressive aggressive work that both russia and china are doing in space. and they do so out of recognition of our dependence on space as a medium for many many things. >> returning to iran for a moment. you were in israel not that long ago and you meat with the prime minister. were you able to assuage his

concerns about the iran nuclear deal? >> no. >> i did not. what i did do or attempt to do since i met with all of his intelligence leaders was to engage them on deepening our partnership which is already quite deep in monitoring compliance. but the prime minister, as everyone knows, feels very very strongly about this deal and hess not very happy about it. >> let me just wrap this up and ask you about convicted spy jonathan pollard who is about to be up for parole. how do people in the intelligence community including those i know very well who helped convict him, who helped track him down how do they feel about him getting out? >> well, first of all, he was sentenced to life in prison in 1985.

30-year point, eligible for parole. so whatever the parole processes are will be activated next november. while many people in the intelligence community today weren't around when this happened, there's a long institutional memory and he is not very highly regarded. i'll put it that way, by members of the intelligence community. >> and james clapper says that he will end his service when this administration ends. he started in vietnam as young intelligence officer. an update now on capitol hill where the president's pitchmen continue to defend the iran deal in front of the house foreign affairs committee. now well into the third hour of questioning the hearing continues to be heated and testy. this time with republican tom marino from pennsylvania only moments ago. >> if you kill this deal -- >> i hope you are right. i hope you are right. because if not you, the executive branch and congress is going to have a disaster on

our hands. >> and developing now in colorado. the parents of james holmes are expected to testify today in the sentencing phase of their son's trial. his defense attorneys reportedly plan to play home movies showing a younger holmes with his family. yesterday james holmes younger sister chris said despite the deadly shooting in that movie theater her brother has been convicted of she will support him. >> in the future if there are things that you can do to help him, are you -- do you want to be able to do that? >> yes. i think it will be up to me when my parents pass away so i do want to do that. >> after all, is he still your brother? >> yes. >> and do you still love him? >> i still love him. >> jurors have to decide whether to sentence holmes to death or to life in prison without parole for the 2012 attack inside a movie theater which left 12 people dead and 70 others injuries in aurora colorado.
