joining me now is michael gordon, the top diplomatic correspondent with "the new york times." up until now they have been saying until midnight maybe a few hours now it's a completely different story. they are really stuck on this statement, even a boiled down statement of principles. >> well i think what secretary kerry is trying to accomplish is to come back with something tangible. we were led to believe that before this round that they would have some concrete numbers, something they could show congress to make the case against imposing additional sanctions. i think senior official called it a quantifiable dimension. iran has been playing a different game and reluctant to make commitments up front at this stage of the game. i think this is a struggle to come up with something that kerry can come back to come back with in washington and not have a lot of trouble selling. >> they are having trouble coming up with this agreement and the fact is that -- the fact they are willing to stay this long and put that couple of hours necessary indicates he doesn't want to walk away emp

from switzerland now on the phone where the talks are taking place, new york times reporter michael gordon

we all know that great scene from "wall street" where michael douglas as gordon

we all know that great scene from "wall street" where michael douglas as gordon gecko made his famous pronouncement -- >> greed, for lack of a better word, is good. >> sorry, michael douglas. you're a good looking guy and fabulously a big fan of our show. but you're wrong. greed is bad. not good. we have such amazing gains here and you have to ask yourself if you've taken anything off the table yet. think about it. this has been a real good run. and even if you are as bullish as i am don't you have to think about ringing the register on something? on anything? with the idea that if the market reverses you'll have the cash to buy, buy, buy. i want you to just ponder it over the week. we took out a lot of highs today. dow up s&p 500 rockets, nasdaq up 0.7%. now look i am not saying i don't like it here. i think we have a right to run after a big, bad event. you know i've been bullish as all get out, urging you to buy every one of these dips we' been having. i'm just saying when you see these kinds of monster moving going mighter, you have to remember there are going to be speed bumps. w

here are some details from michael gordon as john kerry wraps up a week in paris of diplomacy.triking an initial accord with i'mran. also getting a lot of attention must we, the speech by benjamin netanyahu, that is also on her website. good morning. caller: good morning. i'm listening to what is going on in the background, and i want to make this clear. i have been reading everything i can. i've been a lifelong democrat, and i changed parties because of barack obama. i have never seen such a polarization in my life in this country. i disagree with a gentleman caller before that says we do not need god in his country at all. i think more than other come -- more than ever, we need to pay attention to what is happening. in the book of isaiah, 9.10, we need to listen to that. we have excluded god from everything and we need to look at what's happened to us. as far as the cron goes, people need to pay attention to what the koran teaches. the koran teaches that they are supposed to have world domination and that we are p awns in the chess game. that's what it's all about. they want

. >> you're saying david singer and michael gordon got what part of the story wrong, that there everas we've always said joe, that all of the details of this agreement are interrelated to each other. what we have also said is that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. so on that specific issue of whether their stockpile will be shipped out to another country or will be diluted in country, we in iran have not come to agreement on that. even tentatively. so the notion that in the last 24 hours there was some breakdown in that agreement on that issue just isn't accurate. >> you say obviously and we obviously understand how it works and andrea mitchell was on earlier talking about this as well. was it ever assumed by the state department, was it ever assumed by u.s. negotiators, that the iranians had accepted this as one of the -- one of the parts of the deals that they would agree to if everything else fell in line? >> reporter: no, joe, that wasn't assumed. there are a couple different ways iran can get rid of that stack pile. and this is the key part of pushing their year to a

michael j. fox, and jeff gordon will be going up for auction.foundation. there is also a lundqvist crystal hockey mask with 17,000 swarovsky crystals. >> we did five masks with five celebrities. and then the final mask number six, i went to fire department of new york, i sat down and talked to them about being a firefighter in new york and to hear their stories a little bit. that was very interesting as well. so i think that mask is going to mean a lot to a lot of people i hope. it definitely means a lot to me and i'm excited to show them. >> the masks will be auctioned off at the hlundqvistfoundation.com. his mask can be seen on the msg network, and i think they're -- it wasn't a fluke last year the rangers. it was not. >> no, the rangers are for real. >> last night, all the way to overtime. in 75-inch high def tvs, hockey is really really -- >> i the not want to hear you saying it, because every team you like has taken a turn. >> that's not true. i gave up on the bengals. >> not for real. >> i did for real. i totally did for real. >>> next the
