thank you, secretary moniz.of combustiblity and we've seen these crude-by-rail accidents that have led to some pretty spectacular explosions and in some cases tragedy 47 people killed in quebec during an accident. so let me ask about a very specific property which is vapor pressure. it causes i understand it by liquid, natural gases -- >> ngls. >> -- yeah that are particularly explosive. as you may know on april 1st, north dakota -- or since then has been requiring vapor pressure bakken crude to be limited to 13.7 pounds per square inch before it's loaded into the railcars but the big explosion in west virginia the vapor pressure of that oil was at 13.9 psi. my question is whether the department of energy is working with the department of transportation in order to access the safety benefits of lowering crude oil vapor pressure before it's loaded onto trains. >> yes. so that is one of the specific focus areas of the work that i alluded to earlier that our lab has carried out and will carry out. but again, the ea

we have a big show including the energy secretary, ernest mow moniz is here. we start with this stark bottom line. there's never been a major party candidate who'smen made a run for the presidency of the united states while also being under criminal indictment. we have pulled off a lot of political shenanigans in our country but never that particular shenanigan before. apparently we are about to try. today, rick pac, rick perry political action committee started to ask people to sign up for, see it on the left about the obama-clinton foreign policy and how terrible it. he is trying to position himself as the foreign policy republican candidate in this race. it started off a few weeks ago with him posting this somewhat random video on his you tube page. the title of the video is labelled governor perry discusses u.s. foreign policy. you watch the video and at first glance it looks like he is doing a tv interview, a tv interview with governor perry about foreign policy. if you have the patience to watch long enough you will soon notice there isn't anyone intervi

secretary moniz it has been a long couple of weeks certainly doing this deal. i want to get your take on some of the news this morning. first, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said this morning that this is a bad deal. listen. >> not a centrifuge is destroyed or single facility is shut down including underground facilities that they built illicitly. will continue enriching urine familiar. they will have unlimited capacity to build infrastructure. >> o'donnell: technically speaking what the prime minister said is true? >> we certainly have very different view of the facts. first of all today the break-out time, this will immediately get us over a year, it will get us there with almost instantaneous recognition of any attempts to evade the deal and will give us plenty of time to respond diplomatically or otherwise. we have blocked tall of these pathways to a bomb and we should also emphasize this is not a ten-year deal this is a long term arrangement. there's no sense that there will be lot of phases starting with extremely stringent restrictions. ho

moniz telling me the base camp is calm. the feelings of adrenaline now giving way to pain as they realize the immense tragedy. he says he is waiting for the international airport in kathmandu to open up to flights so he can go home. meanwhile, other climbers telling me they want to continue to climb mt. everest. i was speaking to one climber who said they are trying to assess the ice the fallfall to see if they can get through. he said this is his dream. >> even after all of that tragedy on the peaks of mt. everest. thank you, erin. glad to know the rescue operation is safe and done. >>> we are following the latest on the baltimore riots. all morning long. a pastor who watched his church burn down. what he has to say ahead. >>> first, boston bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev's attorneys are trying to save him from the death penalty. some dramatic courtroom testimony. we will bring it to you next. when pain tries to stop you, there's motrin. motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts. make it happen with new motrin liquid gels. i

that is from energy secretary ernest moniz talking to peter cook today.retary moniz: if there are reasons to suspect any site, there has to be access to that site. peter: any site in iran? secretary moniz: any site through a well-defined process. cory: access to sites remain a hurdle. the ayatollah says inspectors will be barred from certain military facilities. saudi arabia is warning about a possible terror attack. the government is warning a oil company and shopping malls should be on guard for potential attacks. no additional information provided stop -- provided. four nationals have targeted and joined the coalition against islamic state fighters. comcast and time warner cable will meet with the department of justice to discuss their merger. according to people familiar with the matter comcast could , walk away from the deal if concessions needed to win approval are too strict. this is after bloomberg reported that staff attorneys of doj's anti-trust division are leaning towards blocking the $45 billion proposed deal. a group led by cbg capital has a

matthew moniz from boulder, colorado. he was telling me of the panic. he said he hid behind a rock as the ice was whizzing by. he described to me the incredible scene of chaos and comradery as the base camp came together to rescue the injured and look for the missing and find tragically the dead. at least 17 killed. he said a makeshift clinic was set up. everything is calm at the base camp. what they are doing is waiting for international airport to open at kathmandu to international flights so they can leave. >> we are showing the pictures the moment of the avalanche hit the base camp as everyone ran into their tents. thank you, erin. >>> we are following the latest on the baltimore riots. a pastor who watched his church burn down. he is speaking out ahead. >>> first, the boston bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev's attorneys try to save him from the death penalty. dramatic courtroom testimony next. in just this one moment, your baby is getting even more than clean. the scent, the lather, even the tiny bubbles of a johnson's® bath are helping to enhance the exper

. >> reporter: the white house put energy secretary ernest moniz front and center monday to defend the deal being negotiated with iran. >> this is not built upon trust. this is built upon hard-nosed requirements. >> reporter: moniz says despite reported differences coming from tehran, the u.s. and iran are on the same page with the framework agreement. and president obama pushed back against critics during a "new york times" interview. >> this is our best bet by far to make sure iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: but lawmakers including republican senator lindsey graham say the president could have done better. >> this is the best deal you could get. and the reason you can't get a better deal is because the iranians don't fear, nor do they respect you. >> reporter: michael singh with the washington institute for near east policy says a nuclear agreement isn't the president's only challenge. >> we have an issue with its terrorism, with its regional activities with places like syria and iraq. he's also going to have to come forward and say i have a plan also to deal with tho

we know moniz has this extraordinary relationship with an m.i.t. graduate -- mo niz taught at m.i.t.. kelsey davenport: i heard that secretary moniz brought him m.i.t. logo baby where when they became a father for the first time. from the beginning of these negotiations, even though they have been less visible, except for the last few months, hasn't quite important. moniz and the department of energy will be an extremely important to this. they have played a critical role in determining breakup time, looking at the research and development, and making that available to the public, that level of expertise certainly will be helpful. as much as there is a political component to this negotiation and i think it really did come down to make very difficult and painful political concessions ensuring that the technical details are in place is extremely important. you see some of that innovation and the promoters -- parameters laid out allowing centrifuges to operate, but in a way to ensure that they are enriching uranium, a dedicated channel to allow iran t

one problem is secretary moniz went on for a while and members were up set there wasn't enough time for questions. there was only a few questions in there. >> was it over? >> i left when the questions had finished yeah. >> senator how did the administration address the discrepancy between the iranian statements and the -- >> they just glossed over it. >> what do you mean? >> i produced a chart for everybody that you can get from my office. it shows the differences of opinion between iran and the united states. that iran doesn't want access to military facilities. that they want immediate sanctions relief. we want gradual. in that sense i'd say it was probably premature to declare the agreement was available. >> you said the corker bill is adequate. is there bipartisan consensus? >> i think there is. i think bob is sticking with the corker legislation. that means it is now menendez corker. several members seem to be skeptical in the room there. led by ben. >> he's skeptical? >> seems to me. yes. >> thank you. >> thanks guys. >> beat that horse to death, yeah. >>> comments from members of

moniz ackwledged the details on phasing out sanctions remain to be worked out.t, president obama called the deal a "once-in-a- lifetime opportunity," in a weekend interview with "new york times" columnist thomas friedman. >> there is no formula, there is no option to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon that will be more effective than the diplomatic initiative and framework that we put forward and that's demonstrable. >> warner: whether that sways congressional critics is unclear. but on sunday, the chair of the senate foreign relations committee said congress means to have a say, regardless. >> i know that a lot of water has to go under the bridge over the next 90 days. and it's very important that congress is in the middle of this, understanding, teasing out, asking those important questions. >> warner: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu also made the rounds of sunday news shows and, once again, argued the deal is deeply flawed. >> i'm not trying to kill any deal. i'm trying to kill a bad deal. and you say it's an historic decision, an historic d

secretary moniz talk about it earlier. we have two of the three national security lapse in mexico. we can't talk about the great things though scientists have done and the contributions they have made but they are really on top of these nuclear enterprise issues and i know the story will come out eventually how important it is than i would have that the "washington post" editorial by moniz be put in the record. thank you all for your work again. >> thank you and i visited both of those labs with you as a matter-of-fact and certainly they play an incredible role in our national security as is the lapan tennesean corporation on these issues. any other comments? senator kaine. >> thank you mr. chairman to all the committee members. i strongly support the beginning of the negotiation with iran went president obama announce it in november of 2013 and viewed it as the fruition of your efforts. i was not in the senate when the sanctions regimes were passed so to those of you who are the economic realities of that regime opened up an opportunity and our president did what we would want the

energy secretary ernest moniz, and iran's nuclear chef ak bar al is a leahy, both from m.i.t. but it may take more than two nuclear physicists to solve these problems. what kind of nuclear research will iran be allowed after the first ten years of an agreement? will the u.n. sanctions be lifted in june as iran demands or just suspended so they can be slapped back on if iran cheats? john kerry doesn't give up easily. but if he doesn't get a nuclear deal, he has made his mark here. a local restaurant has named a pizza after him. arugula, chicken, onion and bacon to go. even if there is a deal tomorrow, the u.s. will not get the specific commitments, all of the specific commitments that it once hoped to get from iran. that will make it harder for critics who fear the administration is making too many concessions just to get a deal. lester? >> andrea mitchell, thank you. >>> a big headline in the fight against isis in iraq. that country's prime minister says iraqi forces have reached the center of tikrit as they move to retake control of saddam hussein's hometown north of baghdad.

energy secretary ernest moniz one of the lead u.s. negotiations, insists the u.s. version is correct. >> on supervisions, on sanctions, i will make it very very clear, the sanction relief really kicks in only when they have complied with the core nuclear restrictions. >> reporter: in the "new york times" interview the president said the deal is far from finished and cited political difficulties in congress. jeff, the white house is furiously working behind the scenes to, scenes to sell this deal to lawmakers. they are kicking up legislation that would give a vote on any iran deal and democrats signed onto it although the white house threatened to veto. >> glor: juliana thank you very much. pope francis commented deal and more today, as he celebrated easter mass at the vatican. here is allen pizzey. >> reporter: thousands packed state peters square for easter mass and a message from pope francis that was as grim as the weather. persecution of christians has been on the catholic calendar. the mass was as colorful as ever but his urbi et orbi, francis made particular

and to sell that they're counting on energy secretary ernest moniz, a little-known member of the cabinet with a much-noticed head of hair. he's one of the world's top nuclear physicists and officials say he played a pivotal role in negotiating this deal in switzerland going up against iran's experts. back here in washington administration officials hope he'll be just as influential dealing with members of congress. peter. >> all right, john. thank you very much. of course chuck todd will have much more tomorrow on "meet the press" when he speaks with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >>> france is famous for its fashion and now it's taking a bold stand on how the industry presents itself. lawmakers have approved a measure that would ban ultraskinny models from the runway. here's nbc's kelly cobiella. >> reporter: from runways to fashion spreads, thin has always been in. but in france the picture of haute couture may be about to change. french lawmakers have approved a measure to make hiring a model deemed underweight a crime. the politician behind it said models are under ever-

that's the opinion of people like ernie moniz my secretary of energy a physicist from m.i.t. who actually nose something about this stuff that's the opinion of nuclear experts who examined the deal. very rarely do you see a consensus, consensus too strong a word, a large majority of people who are experts in the field saying this is actually a realistic, plausible meaningful approach to cut off the pathways for iran getting a nuclear weapon and that it is more likely to succeed not only than maintaining current sanctions or additional sanctions but more likely to succeed than if we took a military approach to solving the problem. again, that's not uniquely my opinion. that is -- talk to people who are not affiliated with the administration some of whom were skeptical about our capacity to get a deal done and have looked at it and said if we are able to actually get what was discussed in the political framework, it's absolutely the right thing to do. now, there's politics and political pressure inside of the united states, we all know that. the prime minister of israel is deep

energy secretary ernest moniz, himself a nuclear scientist and a key negotiator with the iranians defended the agreement, arguing that international inspectors will have such broad access to iran's facilities that there's little chance the iranians could cheat and develop a bomb secretly. >> what this means is they will have access not just to the declared facilities, but also to undeclared sites, even sites that don't have nuclear materials. once we establish the suspicion. iran will have a very short time to grant access to that facility or will be judged out of compliance. >> sreenivasan: on the same broadcast, republican senator lindsey graham of south carolina argued that congress must have the final say on whatever deal is finally hammered out. >> i think congress will require any deal negotiated with the iranians to come to the congress for our review before we lift congressional sanctions. i support the idea of giving them time to put the deal together but i insist congress review the deal debate and vote on it before it becomes final. >> sreenivasan: iran stock >> sreenivasan: the

however, when asked how long the administration has held this assessment energy secretary moniz said, oh quite some time. they are right now spinning, i mean enriching with 9400 centrifuges. if you put that together, it's very, very little time to go forward. that's the two to three months." in fact, they have held this assessment for quite some time. let's bring in our panel. george will, mara with national public radio and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. >> they were deliberately deceiving the american people and congress of course, because they knew that they were only a few monthsing away and were pretending otherwise. in that way, they could portray bibi netanyahu as an alarmist and even though the president had said we're going to give it six months and then heap on the sanctions. the reason they are telling us now the truth, which they have known, as the secretary of education is admitting right now -- >> energy. >> i mean energy is admitting right now. the reason they are acknowledging now that it's short is also to serve their political purposes. they are on the ver

energy secretary ernst moniz negotiated the technical side of the deal and says binyamin netanyahu's deal is wrong, that what we have here is isis unfettered surveillance of the facilities and production. you would expect a different narrative. on the technical detail it seems that perhaps binyamin netanyahu's portrayal is not quite accurate or in line with what has been agreed in lausanne. >> absolutely. binyamin netanyahu has every right to address the agreement. there are things that are ambiguous. possible dimensions of iran's producious nuclear activities regarding how sanctions will be lifted. if they'll be lifted. what happens if iran is caught cheating. these are important legitimate questions that the prime minister should ask - whether it's binyamin netanyahu or anyone else. however, the way the prime minister binyamin netanyahu continues to confront the united states in such an aggressive manner kind of hurts israel's legitimate case when it comes to a possible deal. this is the issue - binyamin netanyahu describing the deal as something threatening the existence of israel

another face we're going to see a lot of is earnest moniz, nuclear scientist who can speak kredably on the technical aspects on this issue and dropped by the press briefing today. >> let's talk about what moniz had to say, he was deeply involved in the negotiations and spoke to reporters around 30 minutes ago, take a listen. >> if iran earns over this time period trust and confidence in their peaceful objectives well then over time the constraints will in phases ease up but never get lower than the additional protocol and all of the access it provides. >> so alex, he's talking about this staggered easing about what a long term deal means. and i think it was secretary kerry who said there will be no sunset on this deal. so will that satisfy critics at all? >> well it probably will not satisfy critics, but the white house is confident they don't really need to win them over right now. they feel they have the legal authority within the law to relax the sanctions for the time being and they are feeling confident going forward. >> we shall see. again, washington a little quiet right now on

you also know i believe that secretary kerry, secretary moniz, secretary lew and some senior officials in the intelligence community will be convening a classified briefing with members of the house and senate over the course of the next two days and again that reflects the fact that we are at the beginning of the process of helping members of congress understand exactly what commitments iran has made so far and how those commitments we hope will be finalized over the course of the next two and half months. >> in terms of crafting something alternative is that an alternative that might satisfy your concerns and concerns of lawmakers to have some sort of oversight role? >> that remains unclear and the fact is the way the legislation is currently written is something we strongly oppose but we continue to have extensive conversations with members of congress on capitol hill. we are going to make sure every member of congress can get a classified briefing from secretary kerry who is leading the negotiations secretary moniz is one of the foremost it where experts in the world he was involve

so it's going to take some time for secretary kerry and secretary know knees and -- secretary moniz andwho are negotiating to see what kind of fremont they'rable to reach with the iranians but we made it clear what is necessary to satisfy us, that the agreement is a good agreement from our point of view. for me here our role is not to conduct those negotiations but two other things. the first is to make sure that we have, as the president says, other options on the table. and that's something we take very seriously here, and we do have other options on the table. and the second thing is to continue to play a stabilizing role in the region as a whole, with all of our friends and allies of which we have many there and continue to strengthen their capabilities and their confidence, and we're doing that. so those are our two jobs here in the department of defense and i'm very attentive to them as is chairman dempsey and everybody else. >> to your question about the introduction of the s-300 the derivative they export, the air defense system, we have known about the potential for that system

iran-israel amy: despite the differences over the pace of sanctions relief, energy secretary ernest moniz says the two countries' public interpretations are consistent in "most dimensions." as the u.s. and iran try to sell the agreement to domestic audiences, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu continues his campaign to undermine a final accord. speaking to nbc's "meet the press," netanyahu called the deal "historically bad." >> i'm not trying to kill in the deal, i'm trying to kill a bad little. you say it is a historic deal will stop it could be an historically bad deal. it leaves the preeminent state of our time with the vast nuclear infrastructure. remember, not one centrifuge is destroyed. thousands of centrifuges will be left spending uranium. not a single facility is being shut down. amy: despite netanyahu's claim, the agreement would reduce iran's installed centrifuges by more than two-thirds. the international red cross is seeking a 24-hour pause to fighting in yemen to allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid. the death toll continues to rise amid clashes between houthi

secretary moniz whatever amount of technical assistance and money you gave them we have given them a> it will be a good competition. >> if they gave me more money, i would win. >> if anthony fox were here he would be talking to you about the absolute imperative that congress move forward and pass the grow america act in the next few months. many of you know last year the administration submitted a long-term -- last year was a poor year -- $302 billion bill. so we can get away from all of these incremental extensions that numbers from 32 separate individual extensions that have just been milking the program along for the last several years. last year we submitted a $302 billion four-year bill. all we got was frozen funding for ten months. this year, under president obama's leadership, we're doubling down. we're going to be submitting in the weeks to come a six-year $478 billion bill. [ applause ] that will bring overall funding to something closer to 60%. and we state precisely what part of the tax code we would amend to pay for it. where we would get the money to augment existing hig

that's the opinion of people like ernie moniz, my secretary of energy who is a physicist from m.i.t.g about this stuff. that's the opinion of a whole bunch of nuclear expert who's examined the deal. of very rarely do you see a consensus, consensus is too strong a word. a large majority of people who are experts in the field saying this has actually a realistic, plausible, meaningful approach to cut off the pathways for iran getting a nuclear weapon and that it is more likely to succeed not only then maintaining current sanctions or additional sanctions but more likely to succeed than if we took a military approach to solving the problem. again, that's not uniquely my opinion. that is talking to people who are not affiliated with the administration some of whom were skeptical about our capacity to get a deal done and have now looked at it and said if we're able to get what was discussed in the political framework, it's absolutely the right thing to do. now, there's politics and political pressure inside of the united states. we all know that. the prime minister of israel is deeply as
