steve rattner, that was sweet of him, mitch mcconnell. sometimes it was nice. >> it was a gift a nice gift. walked right into it. >> joe, what's behind -- was there a point that -- i'm not gong to ask you to say this there's no valid point to what he said. >> i'm not even sure that the secretary would disagree with him. her campaign not solely built around her gender. i think they've taken pains to have this huge platform all these other issues right? it's kind of silly i think. >> it just never works. just don't say those two words, willie, right? nobody wants to touch it. >> i think it's silly on its face, but i also don't think he's saying something that's not out there among people that she's just running to make history. i don't think that's falling on deaf ears. he's connecting with some when he says that. >> also mika i've seen you sitting in that chair a thousand times saying that women are very excited to vote for her because they want a woman to be president. >> that's great. >> you said i go around and there are so many women,

mitch mcconnell wants to the iran deal. he's against the xm bank but they have a disagreement on how to use it. bill: as a republican do you have a problem with ted cruz trying to change the way washington is working? >> no, i have no problem it many time to take it on. >> if you are going to call somebody a liar, you better back it up, and ted cruz did not back it up. the reality is, the republican party of today created ted cruz and now they have to put up with what they created. that's the problem here. ted cruz isn't going away. he will keep the antics up. the vote on the xm vote wants even close. vote on the highway bill. >> reporter: the xm bank will not be rethosed in the house so department krats are also playing politic. >> we are talking the senate. this was a vote in the senate. ted cruz is in a senator in the united states senate. and mitch mcconnell did the right thing because he was trying to vote on one issue and that vote wants even close. bill: that was the highway bill. we'll see how personality becomes af

of politico, you write that as things got started ted cruz accused mitch mcconnell of telling a flat out lie. tell us about that. reporter: it was a remarkable moment, rarely do you see a senator singling out another one in stark terms, accusing him of lying. especially of -- especially a party leader. this does not happen usually, it is usually not like this, you are not supposed to look at senators directly. he is contending that mitch mcconnell assured him and other republicans that the nation's chief credit agency that he did not cut a deal to allow them to move forward as part of the negotiations. that there would be separate trade legislation in may. crews went to the floor and looked mcconnell in the eye, and mcconnell said very clearly i did not cut a deal with that bank, he only promised that members could offer this as an amendment. but what we saw on friday was that mcconnell took steps to bring the bank measures directly to the floor, assuming he could surpass the vote on sunday. crews -- cruz said that this was backtracking, calling it a lie. clearly he believes that thi

mitch mcconnell a hitchhiker in the car. he warned hillary clinton that playing the gender card won't be enough for her. >> i don't think arguing vote for me because i'm a woman is enough. you may recall my election last year. the gender card alone is not enough. i beat my opponent with women in my race because the gender card alone is not enough. i'm sure there are millions of americans who would love to have a woman for president, but the question is a woman president to do what. >> clinton responded during a facebook chat. mitch mcconnell really doesn't get it. there's a gender card being played in this pain. it's played every time republicans vote against giving women equal pay, deny families access to affordable child care or family leave, refuse to let women make decisions about their health. this isn't the first time mcconnell made a controversial comment about gender. two years ago he had this to say about hillary clinton and joe biden. >> don't tell me democrats are the party of the future when their presidential ti

this started on friday when ted cruz, lashed out at mitch mcconnell, accusing him of lying. he said mcconnell would not allow a vote to authorize the export/import that's wrapped up in the highway bill. mcconnell appears to have cleared the path for it. here's a moment of anger that cruz had directed at mitch mcconnell on the senate floor. >> it was a direct question. i asked the majority leader in front of all of the republican senators, the majority leader was visibly angry with me. that i would ask such a question. and the majority leader said there is no deal. there is no deal. there is no deal. like st. peter, he repeated it three times. i cannot believe he would tell a flatout lie. >> it's very rare to see this sort of personal attack in the senate. and may have violated some senate decorum rules. mcconnell, we have not hear from him yet. he's been silent on this issue. we could hear from him today for the first time. ted cruz is running for president. and he's raising money off of this. a fund-raising e-mail, saying, quote, we have been betrayed by the majority leader

that could be a problem according to senate majority leader mitch mcconnel. >> we already know that it's going to leave iran as a threshold nuclear state. we know that. it appears as if the administration's approach to this was to reach whatever agreement the iranians were willing to enter into. so, i think it's going to be a very hard sell, if it's completed, in congress. >> sreenivasan: israeli prime minister netanyahu is going a step further, denouncing any deal with iran. >> ( translated ): this agreement is putting at risk the peace of the world. iran doesn't hide its intention to continue its murderous aggression, even against those who they are in negotiations with. maybe there is someone among the powers who is willing to give way to the reality dictated by iran, which includes the relentless calls for the destruction of israel. we will not accept it. >> sreenivasan: bloomberg news reporter indira lakshmanan joins us now from vienna where she's been covering the talks for weeks. we've got to stop meeting like this. ask you almost the same question. how close are we to a deal and

you talk about ted cruz being disputed by mitch mcconnell's office, but it has he been directly respondedwhen mcconnell spoke, there was a subtle reference to ted cruz. he did not call ted cruz out by name, but he said there was no special deal that has been discussed all along. we tried to ask them a question in the halls on friday after ted cruz accused him of lying, and mitch mcconnell just smiled and walked away. he does not address the press until tuesday. he will certainly be asked then. probably similar to what he said yesterday. certainly, he will probably say there's nothing i backtracked on. it is a complicated procedural dispute. it happened behind closed doors so there is no transcript of the remarks of what mcconnell promised ted cruz and the rest. it may end up just being a game of he said, she said. host: in the leadership of the republican ranks, it includes senator john cornyn, ted cruz's colleague from texas. who was seen on the voice of conservatives in the group of senators that make up that key republican leadership staff? guest: from the leadership perspective, it is

. >>> up next, ted cruz calls mitch mcconnell a liar. you're watching "hardball" the place for politics. >>> we now know that when the majority leader looks us in the eyes and makes an explicit commitment, he's willing to say things he knows are false. >> welcome back to hardball. ted cruz in a war in establishing over it started friday when cruise the republican senator and candidate for president called his colleague the boss, mitch mcconnell a liar. cruz said he struck a deal and told him otherwise. here is cruz. >> the majority leader looked at me and said there is no deal, there is no deal, there is no deal. what we just saw today was an absolute demonstration that not only what he told every republican senator but what he told the press over and over and over again was a simple lie. >> a lie, he's called the republican leader of his caucus a liar despiting the allegation in the special session yesterday on sunday, senator mcconnell said he didn't need a deal to allow the measure to advance. >> when there is overwhelming bipartisan

on friday republican senator ted cruz, he lashed out at the majority leader mitch mcconnell. of course a member after his own party, accusing him of lying. now cruz says mcconnell promised that he would not cut a deal which would allow a vote to reauthorize export/import bank. this is wrapped up in the highway bill. and mcconnell appears to have cleared a path forward to do just that. so cruz here really calling out mcconnell directly, saying point-blank, he lied. >> to this institution, the senate operates based on trust. whether we are democrats or republicans, these 100 senators have to be able to trust that when a senator says something he or she will do it, even if we disagree on substance, that we don't lie to each other. >> it's rare to see this sort of personal attack in the senate. especially among members of the same party. and it may have even violated a senate decorum rule. now mcconnell so far has been potentially we could hear from him for the first time. now ted cruz is, of course, running for president. he is already raising money saying in a fund-raising e-ma

senate majority leader mitch mcconnell bringing to a vote two amendments attached to the bill. one of the amendments getting a lot of response from within his own party. you know it's from senator ted cruz and kristen fisher is in washington with the very latest details on this. >> reporter: the senate is going to start voting in about three hours and on table are two procedural votes on amendments to the highway bill first up a vote to fully repeal obamacare. that's not expected to get the 60 votes to move forward and next up this is what everyone is going to be watching today, is a vote on the reauthorization of the export/import bank. it's a kwauz government bank that helps u.s. firms do business overseas and its future is really what's at stake today. the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has said he opposes to the bank but he's allowing this procedural vote today to reauthorize the bake because he believes it's the only way to guarantee passage of this highway bill. now that has infuriated senate conservatives. in fact, senator ted cruz went so far as to call his lead

that's why you have ted cruz trying to disrupt the senate and calling mitch mcconnell a liar and lindsey graham performing all kinds of antics with a cell phone. the candidates all sort of feel like they need to be a little more outrageous to get a little attention and get one of the important slots in the debate. what do you think? because clearly it's working for trump. he's surging in the polls. there's a new poll out now that has him in new hampshire at 24%, double that of jeb bush. i mean, do other candidates think if they can't beat him, join him? >> i wouldn't be surprised if other candidates are purposefully taking extra steps to get their share. they're trying to get on the debate stage on fox because from there with more debates and continued limits on the number of people on that stage, they might look to national polling again. it's not about the debate next thursday but about the next couple of months and continuing to get on the right stages. >> there's work for huckabee. dana, will he go up in the polls? >> well, it's hard to say. when you're sitting there at 8% in the pol

here's senate majority leader mitch mcconnell on what the debate on capitol hill could look like. >> it appears as the administration's approach of this was to reach whatever agreement the iranians are willing to enter into. i think it's going to be a very hard sell, if it's completed in congress. >> kevin cork begins our coverage tonight in washington. what are some of the major stick being points that have at least so far held up the deal. >> reporter: you're right there have bean number of them but i think most notably the big one is the timing of the sanctions relief. keep in mind the iranians have been suffering from international sanctions for quite some time and just how quickly those sanctions are lifted has been a major source of contention throughout the entire negotiations. now iran does youchl have a few points they would like to make sure everybody knows about. they want to make sure that the u.n. arms embargo is eliminated and immediately. keep in that that dates back 2006. they want to limit access to their military site especially during snap inspections and yes they
