so joe manchin will not support a filibuster of the iran deal. and he hasn't said that publicly.e said in it an interview with me and i had permission to quote him. so at least he is one. and i don't know if chris kuhns has made such a declare i have the statement but the white house is trying to get seven of the ten to support a filibuster. am i right materially there would be no difference in the iran deal going through because it got filibusters in the snad and the iran deal not going through because president obama vetoed it? either way, it goes through. >> materially you're right. but the world then never sees an actual vote by the united states senate. supporting a resolution of disapproval on the iran deal. that's a big deal. >> so the idea, the rest of the world seeing american resolve or seeing two american faces on this issue. that's, it is a sort of impressionistic power of that rather than the -- >> in the end, the president will prevail. he will not have his veto overridden. you're absolutely right on the substance. so this is a big deal. but it is very different whe

it puts more pressure on senate democrats to join with ben carden, joe manchin and chuck schumer in voting with republicans. on the senate floor, we expect lawmakers are going to vote again to see if they can get to 60 votes on a procedural step to disapprove the iran nuclear deem. last thursday that fell short 58-to-42. most are expecting the same outcome tonight. some are calling on mcconnell to use the squad nuclear option and pass the disapproval measure with a simple majority. later this week the plan is he would call for a vote on this new measure pushing iran to recognize israel and to demand americans being held hostage are released. brett. >> just to be clear the chance that this is going to change the dynamic here and republicans would be able to block it is miniscule, right? this is really to get democrats on the record against these two things. >> absolutely correct. you saw the house taking a different approach, taking a three-step process last week. the senate is trying to get everybody on the record on this iran nuclear deal to go out and say to president obama, you see, a n

one of those democrats, senator did joe manchin -- senator joe manchin's office said this week that he did not know whether he would support the deal or not, but he would not vote to filibuster the deal, so that means that that is one vote that would not there -- not be there to get to 41. so it seems like 41 is unlikely. host: the senator from maryland announcing in a vote of the deal , would it mean more if he came out as a ranking member and came out on tuesday or monday and just said that he would not be supporting this deal? guest: you know, it might have, but this is essentially because of the difficulties that -- with secretary kerry and were reporting on the negotiations. does the state department feel of the hardest part on this deal has now passed? guest: i think the administration as a whole, in some ways, we feel that the hardest part has passed, at least in terms of the diplomacy and the domestic politics. really meansrubber the road on the deal in terms of whether the iranian will hear to its provisions. so in a certain sense you could argue that the hardest part is reall

just before he started his remarks we learned that west virginia senator joe manchin announced he will vote in opposition to the nuclear agreement with iran. the associated press writing, manchin says the identifyian regime shows no signs of changing its behavior and deal involving world power does nothing to guarantee that behavior changes. the deal already has the necessary votes in the senate to sustain the president's veto of the resolution of disapproval. 38 democratic and independent senators backing it. senator manchin joins senator schumer of new york, menendez of new jersey, and ben cardin of maryland becoming the fourth democrat opposing the deal. five senators remain undecided. senators collins, blumenthal, cantwell, peters of michigan, and oregon's ron wyden. focus on iran and the nuclear agreement will continue throughout the day today across the c-span networks. congress takes up the debate on the nuclear deal this week. the senate today, the house later in the week, and later today we'll gi bring you discussion on the technical and political aspects of the negotiations t

the headline was joe manchin was against the deal, and now 43 minutes into the show, we have a new headline that's right. it shows you how fluid this whole story has been, tamron. but it's important to keep this 41 number in perspective. 41 sitting democrats would potentially allow president obama not to have to cast the veto because those 41 could help in launching and killing the resolution by filibuster. but not all 41 of the yeses on the iran deal are people who would be guaranteed to filibuster this. so it is worth noting that you could have a senator here or there who might support the iran deal but who might not support a filibuster. there is still one remaining democrat left, maria cantwell of washington state, and she is a yes, giving democrats as much as 42 and maybe a little wiggle room to yield that filibuster. >> thank you very much, mark. >>> coming up, the pope makes a big move ahead of his trip to the united states. the church is simplifying procedures for marriage annullments, saying it would bring millions of divorced catholics back to the church. we'll dig into that story

and there are, in fact, three senate democrats, chuck schumer, robert menendez and joe manchin, alsoecord, it's a way for the republicans to say the democrats here on capitol hill and certainly at the white house own this deal, if you will. so going forward as the public judges how it plays out, republicans will be able to say they took this stand. what's been interesting is that the house has a different view of things. and it is another chapter in the discontent between republicans on capitol hill. the house views this differently. they do not want to follow the same path as the senate. mitch mcconnell who says basically that the president will still be able to win this based on the numbers, the house is more restive and agitated and they are putting pressure on house speaker john boehner to try to take separate votes on elements of this deal. you remember hearing about side deals, that kind of thing. of course this is all being watched closely by nancy pelosi, the top democrat in the house who seems a bit mystified by it all. >> it's very hard to see what is going to this presiden

joe manchin told reporters today he must cast a vote against it. his no vote came on the heels of a fiery condemnation of the deal from former vice president dick cheney speaking in d.c. this morning. >> arming and funding iran while simultaneously providing them a pathway to a nuclear arsenal is not an act of peace. it's not, as president obama claims, the only alternative to war. it is madness. >> as you see cheney's speech was briefly interrupted by a protesters carrying a paint flag shouting "dick cheney is a war criminal." kelly o'donnell, talk about this, is the deal done? >> reporter: well in terms of the legacy building for president obama and the democrats who support him, it looks like this is locked in, but what will happen over the next several days will be a lot of debate and conversation. in some ways intended to pressure those members who have not yet weighed in to sort of shift the numbers, but also to put pressure perhaps on a wider public, to galvanize support before votes are actually cast, committing to vote one way is certainly

robert menendez who has been a top democrat on the foreign relations committee of all time and joe manchinwest virginia who is a former governor of his state, but his state tends to be much redder and he tends to be more conservative than others in his party. but when you look at the whole number of members of congress, house and senate, actually a majority, because there are more republicans, oppose this deal. so you have kind of a smaller number, but the very influential critical number of democrats are enough to give the president a pathway on this. and so changing minds is always possible, but it seems unlikely that there is anyone on the fence left who ted cruz would be able to influence. we'll see how it plays out. but the debate itself is important, so this is not just theater, it is a part of the process because until the votes happen, we've got to see it play out. frances. >> this as we are watching ted cruz there. thank you, kelly o'donnell, there on the podium. we are seeing his gestures, very impassioned as well. i want to go to msnbc political reporter kasie hunt. she is at th
