let's listen to marie harf the state department states woman who was asked about the kissinger/shultzeard a lot of big words and big thoughts in the piece. those are certainly -- there's place for that. but i didn't hear a lot of alternatives about what they would do differently. >> big words. big ideas. no alternatives. >> well, you know, one of the alternatives is not to do the deal. i think, you know, while marie harf was making these comments in the same week, john kerry had to come out and basically slap down iran complaining that they were intervening in yemen. >> yemen. i know how you feel. >> easy for you to say. but it shows that we're negotiating with, you know, someone on the other side of the table who has absolutely no good things here. >> one of the points that kissinger and shultz made a nuclear deal will help. that the imperial ambitions of the region, briefly, dan. >> you create a situation where you have mortal enemies close together with this sort of nuclear element in the middle of it and you create a volatile situation. >> very dangerous moment. >>> when we come b

then state department acting spokeswoman marie harf said this. >> i want to be very clear just so nohe wrong impression, that they are not there to intercept iranian ships to do issues like that. that the purpose of moving them is only to insure the shipping lanes are remain open and safe. i think there was some misreporting an confusion on this i want to be very clear. i know they spoke to it too but the purpose is not to do anything in terms of those iranian ships. >> today marie harf former boss jen psaki at the white house was asked about the remarks. her answer didn't provide much clarification. >> we always have contingency plans. that is what the united states does. we have the best military in the world but we also don't get ahead of predicting or laying out what we may or may not do. we're watching this closely. we're monitoring this closely. we have a range of abilities but we're not going to predict what will happen. >> well, so, you know, i guess this is a mixed message but we're at a delicate point andrea with negotiations with iran right now. at the same time we have to

until yesterday when marie harf made it very clear. that's not right.ships going there to intercept ships that is untrue. >> what we said to them is if their weapons delivered to factions within yemen that could threaten navigation, that's a problem. and we're not sending them obscure obscure messages. >> everyone in the world is scratching their head as to what exactly is going on with the ships and what potential do they have to make moves. we thought why don't we go ahead and ask the communications director jen psaki and get clarity. this was our attempt. >> we always have contingency plans. that's what the united states does. we have the best military in the world. we also don't get ahead of predicting or laying out what we may or may not do. >> if -- >> we're monitoring this closely. we have a range of abilities. we're not going to predict what will happen. our hope this can de-escalate. >> are there restrictions on our ships there or are they able to do what they need to do? >> this is a case where not just the united states but the internationals

martha: i want to go back to marie harf here for a second.she is totally out of the loop and she doesn't know what is going on. jen psaki talked about why we have an aircraft carrier off the coast of yemen this morning, i don't really know or i can't really tell you what it will do if an iranian ship is intercepted there. why do they have spokespeople who don't appear to know what's going on, rick? is that part of the strategy? i don't understand why you would do that. they are supposed to communicate what is going on? >> first of all you have to remember that the national security strategy from the national security council, the white house, is really a political strategy. you can go back and look at president obama saying we'll not start wars. that is his national security strategy. come hello or high water whatever information comes in intelligence briefing to him he is saying we'll not have any wars. so that is a big political pronouncement to our enemies. the spokespeople are really saying this kind of political rhetoric. they know that

judge, kissinger, schultz, marie harf. >> how do you balance that imbalance?, that really was a non-answer to the serious challenge laid down by secretaries kissinger and schultz. secretary kerry should have responded. quite frankly i don't know what kind of response he could have given. he obviously the three of us agree materially misled probably everybody, the president is part of this misleading as well, the more you like the deeper you dig the hole and the less credibility you have. >> listen the saudi ambassador to the u.s. sat in his chair and could not anticipate, would not anticipate whether the saudis are moving toward a nuclear weapon, saying it is a matter of national security for his country. i said i will put that down as a maybe, he said i'm not going to comment. that was significant moment pause clearly they are juan. >> i think that's right. i think there's no doubt about it the way they feel about israel and its nuclear capabilities and they now in this obama a doctrine vision for the middle east he wants the saudis, he wants the egyptians he

we're back with the acting state department spokeswoman, marie harf and talking about the u.s.lled two western hostages and two al qaeda leaders, let's talk about the al qaeda guys who were killed. adam gadahn ahmed farouk. adam kadahn. were they intentionally targeted for killing by the united states? >> they weren't. we were not aware that they were at this location when these operations were undertaken. you're right, adam gadahn had been indicted in u.s. courts he was involved in attack planning. ahmed farouk was the deputy amir in the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. we were not aware that either of them were there. >> since he's been charged with treason, adam gadahn would it have been legal to target an american citizen. somebody who ripped up his american passport. someone who pledged loyalty to al qaeda and bin laden. would it have been okay to target these two americans for death? >> well as you know the president and the attorney general have talked a lot about the legal process that goes into those kind of determinations and i really don't want to make a defense ab

that led marie harf to issue a warning today. >> congress has played a cue role in getting us to this point. we want to talk and consult with them about this. their priority should not be making the u.s. negotiator's jobs harder not making it harder for us at the negotiating table by doing things that are harmful to that process and not taking away presidential prerogative. >> well there is some instruction for everyone from ms. harf. there are now a dozen democrats who have co-signed a bill backing a congressional roll in the process. they're indicating they could support such legislation. our next guest tonight says through a catalog of broken promises and bad faith, iran has retained its entire secret nuclear infrastructure. what is more disturbing to him is the obama administration acts as if iran were a constructive partner for peace rather than the main target of its aggression mainly israel. joining us is mort zuckerman. good to have you with us. this ongoing discussion about the framework for an agreement in which we are told now by both parties, that there is no agreement. th

this administration of tremendous smallness in spirit and stature but for marie harf smallness in comedyinners and losers? >> my winner legacy in politics, winners legacy on the basketball court. i think uconn 10th championship and of course duke with their fifth. for my loser it's getting hard just to be a regular campaign donor anymore. you have to have a super pac to be cool now. we saw this week with ted cruz there are four super pacs now not aligned with his campaign but four of them pledging $31 million. >> a lot of money. >> winners and losers quickly. >> winner angela at apple. apple came out with smart watch and she is -- and there was some skepticism about it but it sold out in six hours. good day good week for apple. my loser is president obama. and over the iranian deal. they keep talking about the white house clearly thought they would come out and embraces an historic moment. crumbled all book and i think the opposition has deepened and wydened to it. >> okay. womenner here extra panel segment on a friday. that's it for far the panel. stay tuned for a new bumper. ro sticker

. >> that's marie harf on "the kelly files" defending one or a series of controversies now we're finding miss harp is being passed over for the big big. instead. rear admiral kirby will take over as the state department's spokesperson. what happened to marie. our chief washington correspondent, james rosen has been on the receiving end of some of these exchanges with marie harp and jen socky. there's a series of things including the most recent exchange that happened on a competing network, if we could just get isis jobs things might get better. >> yeah. >> you cannot win this war by killing them. we cannot kill our way out of this war. we need in the longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups. whether it's lack of opportunities for jobs. >> sorry, go ahead. >> well, look. that exchange with chris matthews was widely understood. chris matthews was the first person to be malicious about it. he pounced on what she was saying which george w. bush used to say. but chris matthews dove in and said this is like juvenile delinquentcy in the '50s is that what y

here's marie harf. >> many iran might get upon signing -- >> reporter: right. so a couple points on that. i've talked to the folks who i think this originated from the side of hill briefings. those who briefed the hill, talked to folks on delegation. people are perplexed about what these reports were referring to, because as we've said and i repeated yesterday the iranians will get under a comprehensive agreement the sanctions relief after they take the related steps. so obviously all the details ow that will happen and when are part of the negotiations. >> 35 seconds of a non-answer jennifer. did they get $50 billion if they sign this or do we not know yet? the deal not final? we know it's not final but is that part of the talks? >> reporter: basically what you're hearing is the state department not denying that iran will be given a "signing bonus" of up positive $50 billion for agreeing to a final nuclear deal that curtails its path to a bomb. nuclear talks we engs inned in geneva began today and negotiators from until june 30th to reach a deal. already irani

state department spokesperson marie harf facing questions about the donations to the clinton foundation. >> okay. you are able to say though that it did not -- that they weren't required to be disclosed? >> that's my understanding but i'm happy to check on some more details here, matt. >> even if it didn't. even if they donations did not were not required to be disclosed. >> again that's my understanding. let me check with the folks here. i want to be clear about what's covered by the mou and what's not. okay? >> all right. >> will this controversy rock the clinton campaign david cantonese and david diamond joins us. i'm sympathetic to the spokesperson for the white house and state department. every news organization would love to talk to her. so far we've heard nothing. >> sure, no. this is what happens when you have two people who competed against each other for a nomination and you make one of them your top diplomat. you have to give her a lot of latitude at that agency. it almost sounds like the administration, the rest of the obama administration didn't have a very good handle. the

and amazing to seeing marie harf working by cell phone flashlight, still taking questions.ons by flashlight. >> and then said the briefing was temporarily, and still trucking on. so no resting at the state department. >> and a cell phone flashlight will get you through. thank you. >>> and breaking news for those in the political world, another gop hopeful in the race for the white house. >> rand paul is wrong and dangerous. tell him to stop siding with obama. >> all right. so senator rand paul is in it to win it for the republican nomination and announcing that run today and declaring himself a different kind of republican but the attack ads are already out. >> when republicans have won, we've squandered our victor your by become -- victory by becoming part of the machine. that's not who i am. >> so his next steps, an announcement tour through new hampshire, south carolina, iowa and nevada. he's going to be met at those states by a new ad from a hawkish foreign policy group, an ad linking him to president obama. >> rand paul is wrong. and dangerous. tell him to stop siding

with iran during a 2012 presidential debate, but iranian foreign minister zarif and marie -- and marie harf putting together a very different spin this week on the framework deal that's actually been agreed to. it's time now for our sunday group. syndicated columnist, george will. mara liasson from national public radio. jason riley of the "wall street journal." and fox news political analyst, juan williams. well, as we say, president obama started out with a firm red line, if you will, that iran must end its nuclear program, we're obviously a long way from there. george, there are obviously concessions in any negotiation. did president obama and the west give up too much or is this a reasonable deal? >> well, what was given up that really matters was given up a while ago. that is they conceded the right to enrich, the capacity to enrich and the possession of some low-enriched uranium. this deal comes in the fourth quarter of obama administration characterized by four failures. the failure to leave a stable iraq. the fail of the russian reset. the failure to advance the israeli/palestinian

today you had the state department, marie harf saying that given iran's destabilizing actions in the region quote, in places like yemen or syria or lebanon, that this isn't the time to be selling these kinds of systems to them. she goes on to say, quote, we don't think this will have an impact on unity in terms of inside the negotiating room. so the administration is having a clear disconnect between these two issues when it comes to iran in an effort to do what they really want to do. and that's get a deal across the finish line. >> we're just getting word that the senate committee unanimously voted to advance the bill to allow them to vote on any final nuclear deal with iran. i don't know if it's going to be received well by the white house. >> i think the white house signaled that with the changes that senator corker made that there may be a chance that they would sign this. this is the thing that they've changed the review time just to get specifically from 60 days to 30 days. and they took out this stipulation that the administration has to make sure that iran is not committing

here state department spokesperson marie harf facing reporters today. >> i think the secretary of stater secretary of state raising it repeatedly and directly with the iranians pushing for their release and having conversation with their americans doing this at the highest levels, we do it every time we see them. >> i know. >> it's the only other issue we raise every single time we see them. >> right but the result has been -- >> -- so we're going to keep pushing until we can get them home. >> you can explain a little bit more about what they say. >> i'm not going to get into the details. >> because just simply saying they should come home. >> obviously the discussions are, you know, more detailed than that and i'm just not going to read those out from here for the privacy of those involved. >> joining us is someone who has been pushing for the release of our marine, also his constituent amir hekmati, congressman dan killed de, nice to see you sir. >> thank you. >> look, as i say every night, this is not an easy task getting these four home. i'm curious whether or not the state departme

temporarily and many went back up on emergency generators quite quickly but there are pictures of marie harf conducting a press conference with her iphone flashlight. and some 17,000 customers were without power and that noub is down to the 2,000s chblt and when this happens people get jittery. and dhs said this is not terror related and the equipment malfunction is backing that up and the fbi believes there is no malicious activity and the biggest activity is there is still outage at metro and the commute might take longer to get home and some stoplights are reported to be out so approach it like a stop sign guys so back-ups galore. >> and d.c. rush hour is always so much fun. thank you, luke. >> always fluid and smooth. >> we just talked rand paul. coming up the democrat side of 2016. msnbc with new reporting on when hillary clinton may throw her hat in the ring. and live in boston the jury in the marathon bombing trial and a verdict could come at any time. >>> and our friends at front line have a new report on terror and it is difficult to watch but good to see as "the cycle" rolls on. it

spokeswoman marie harf using her cell phone, being very resourceful there, as a light source.there you see it. the power at this hour we can tell you has been fully restored there at the state department and the other federal buildings, you know. jake pepco says around 1:00 this afternoon there was a dip in the voltage and because of a problem with a transmission line that problem we know stemmed from a fire/explosion at a switch irstation. and that's what kind of led to this ripple effect of power being out. we should point out they say at this point the department of homeland security no connection to terrorism. >> good to know. rene thank you so much. joining me live from los angeles to discuss the bigger picture is sean henry, former fbi executive assistant director and president of cyber security firm crowd strike. sean good to see you. thankfully this doesn't appear to be a willful act, an attack. what can we learn about today's outage about the fragility of our infrastructure, especially in washington, d.c. the nation's capital? >> yeah jake. so i mean this is really in

richard, take a listen to marie harf at the state department.rnst has said don't talk to us, white house about what went on during the clinton era that the hillary secretary of state era. talk to the secretary of state department. they are the ones that she ran, she ran the state department. >> look what happens when you ask the state department about hillary clinton. >> these specific donations that the "new york times" reported about yesterday were not required to be disclosed by the memorandum? >> that's certainly my understanding. >> you can explain why that is? >> i'm happy to check on some more information on that. i'm happy to check. >> you don't know why -- >> -- i'm happy to check if i knew why i would tell you. i'm happy to check. >> a little snippy there. right, are richard? >> you know, i'm friends with simon and i agree with him on almost everything but here is where i disagree a little bit. john podesta was quoted incoming, this will not stop. if all she did all she spent her time doing was talking about all the stuff coming in utt

and marie harf the best part, dismissing expert criticism was it by kissinger. >> and schultz. >> oh that's a lot of big words. so, we got these people -- they are from the -- like a high school model u.n. this is not the state department. it is the cast of "saved by the bell." it is disgusting. sorry. >> you brought up president obama going after scott walker and scott walker actually had a chance to reply and we have that. >> oh, wow. hmm. >> it would be a foolish approach to take and perhaps mr. walker taken time to bone up on foreign policy, would rethink that. >> this is a president who should work with members of congress instead of attacking it. think about that statement. a guy in the last year called isis the jc squad, yemen, last fall, his administration continues to call them a success story, who had a secretary of state under that gave russia a reset button. and then they ultimately went into the ukraine. this is a guy i think the audacity to talk about schooling anyone when it comes to foreign policy. >> think scott walker has a point president obama has enough on his pl

state department spokesperson marie harf acknowledged the administration has talked with social media and entertainment organizations about its efforts against isil. >> we talk to a host of government and nongovernmental actions about the isil coalition. this is a very, very small target. i would not draw any big anytical statements from this, other than we are very clear that we believe people who have platforms who can speak out against isil should do so, but their content, what they choose to say and print, what they choose to make in terms of movies is obviously, entirely up to them. and i think sony would say the same thing. amy: other sony emails from the wikileaks trove reveal actor ben affleck asked the creators of the pbs documentary seri "finding your roots," to conceal the fact he had a slave-owning ancestor. the film's host, henry louis gates, consulted sony entertainment ceo michael lynton for advice, and ultimately, the fact was left out of the film. gates and pbs say the omission was based on editorial grounds. tens of thousands of people marched ndndndaround the world

and state department spokesperson marie harf said mr. obama is satisfied the administration did not concede too much. >> we need to cut off the four pathways for iran to get to a nuclear weapon, and we need to get iran from currently two to three months of breakout time, up to six times that, to at least a year breakout time under this agreement, and that's what we have done. our bottom lines here in terms of what we needed to get at the negotiating table have never changed. >> sreenivasan: other parties to the talks struck notes of caution. the french foreign minister laurent fabius, insisted a final agreement must ensure there is no iranian bomb. >> ( translated ): if this agreement is not entirely solid, that would mean that iran could get a bomb. and this is unacceptable. and if this agreement is not perceived as solid, that means that the countries of the region such as saudi arabia, egypt, turkey, et cetera, could also start thinking of making a bomb and that would be a nuclear proliferation, dangerous for all. >> sreenivasan: ther

a reporter asked marie harf for evidence. >> said the administration has evidence armenians are supplyingpons and other support to the houthis. what kind of evidence is there? >> this isn't something new. we have long talked about support when it comes from funding, whether it is weapon supply the iranians are sending to the houthis. this is been an ongoing relationship for long time. i'm happy to see there is more evidence to share publicly, but this isn't something we have -- amy: toby jones, can you respond to the state department on this point? also, talk about the role of the u.s. >> i would not get also prized their iranian rebels -- weapons among the houthis. [indiscernible] it is involved in all kinds of places. there is some widespread cooperation or coordination between iran and what is going on in north yemen. if you want to make a claim that their operating with one country's weapons across the middle east as a son of coordination and which we make of al qaeda and isis using american weapons captured in the battlefield or having been supplied by saudi arabia and others in syri

and you see this tweet from acting spokesperson marie harf john kerry and negotiating team back at work this morning. now foreign minister zarif seemed to be a little bit less optimistic last night. trying to show there was a little division between the parties here. take a listen to what he had to say to reporters last night. >> the hope that the political will by all parties exists in order to move forward, there are obviously problems that have prevented us from reaching the first stage of finding the solution. >> but this morning he was a little bit more upbeat. saying things are inching forward. that he hoped that there could be some kind of conclusion today. you know they've gone two days well into the deadline. actually the elephant in the room really congress here. that there is not a deal congress threatening to impose sanctions. so the pressure really on secretary of state john kerry to come home with something. i think it will be something well short of what the u.s. was looking for. but certainly they're looking for some kind of political understanding of what's been agreed

he wrote this in an op-ed, but the spokesperson marie harf, didn't seem to be interested. >> i heardthat piece, and those are certainly -- there's a place for that. i didn't hear a lot of alternatives about what they would do differently. >> kissinger says the deal reinforces problems that are going on in the middle east. it was in yesterday's wall street journal. >> he did use words that were maybe more than one syllable there was alternatives. the titanic mistake would be to sign off. >> they had an alternative. don't do a deal. the words too big for her. >>> let's talk about rolling stone magazine. they had a bad week. on monday it was revealed by columbia university that they broke all the rules. every stage of the game, they failed in verifying that gang rape story at the university of virginia. that fraternity is going to sue them. remember rolling stone magazine when they glorified dzhokhar tsarnaev with that rock and roll cover story there talking about how he's popular and a student. nowhere will you find that he was yesterday convicted 30 of 30 -- >> looking at that cover m
