makes no sense. >> ambassador susan rice. thank you so much for joining us. >> good to be with you, wolf. as always. >> susan rice is the president's national security adviser. we'll get reaction to what we heard from the president's national security adviser and israeli ambassador to the united states ron dermer he is live here there you see him in the situation room. you'll get his his reaction to what we just heard from susan rice. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis like me... and you're talking to a rheumatologist about a biologic this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira helping me reach for more. doctors have been prescribing humira for more than 10 years. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contrubutes to ra symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers including lymphoma have happe

susan rice steve says bad behavior may be encouraged or at least financed by this iran wran deal. what to you sni. >> yeah chattanooga, bad behavior. this is one of the worst in diplomatic history. it's going to lead to tens of thousands of deaths. it gives iran over $100 billion for those kinds of activities and allows them on a glide path to get missiles. atomic bomb spz more conventional weapons. it's also going to need to lead to nuke proliferation. not just with turkey and other countries, but around the world people see the u.s. as -- south korea is going to do it. japan will do it and already you are starting to see rumblings of argentina and venezuela. this thing is a disaster. >> mark other than that it's a great deal right? >> i think that's rather alarmist. look we were headed towards war in the middle east. most certainly if we don't stop this nuclear proliferation, there is going to be war. within a year or two years. this is a compromise. it's not the best deal. yes, there's problems with it. it will staif this off for at least a decade if not more. in that amount of

a short while ago i spoke with susan rice, the president's national security advisor. ambassador rice, thank you for joining us. one of our leading allies benjamin netanyahu, prime minister of israel, today called this deal an historic mistake. why is he wrong? >> well h he's wrong, gwen, because this is actually a very strong deal that, when implemented will cut off all of iran's potential pathways to a nuclear weapon in a fully verifiable fashion. we'll have very intrusive 24-7 presence at all elements of iran's nuclear supply chain and all of its declared facilities. we'll have the ability to inspect facilities about by there are suspicions. we will reduce iran's stockpile of enriched uranium by 98%. two-thirds of the centrifuges will be dismantled and stored under international observation. this will be the most comprehensive and effective nuclear transparency regime ever implemented. in fact, that is not the case. i think it's worth recalling prime minister netanyahu was equally critical of the interim agreement that we announced in november of 2013. he called tha

permanent representative susan rice, helped write that, or wrote a good part of and it she put it in. and, in fact, the iranians objected to it. felt that it was being rammed in them in the context of the nuclear agreement and it had no business being part of a nuclear agreement. it is conventional arms and they thought they had the right to do it. they have ignored it for all these years but they made it clear, from the get go, that one of the primary red lines was they had to get those sanctions lifted, we said no, we are not going to lift them, we won't give this -- look at what you are doing in yemen, we won't lift it. the problem is we had three countries out of seven that were ready to lift it all together on day one and four countries that said no we need to keep it. so the compromise, ultimately was, recognizing that we had many ways of coming at the enforcement of activities on missiles and arms with specific resolutions for no arms. no arms to the houthis no arms to the shia in iraq. no arms to hezbollah, no arms to north korea. all of these are existing conditions that we c

he is also sitting with the national security adviser susan rice. they will be discussing trade relations with ethiopia. ethiopia is one of the fastest growing african economies and according to the world bank the world's fastest growing economy within the next four years. up to 11% growth every year. also topping the agenda is security. this is off the back of a terror attack in mogadishu. that suicide attack by al shabaab. this region is a hotbed of terrorism. it is also john a regional security issue. we understand that terror group al shabaab has made plans for this region and the united states is really interested in curbing that. john. >> it is interesting. robyn, thank you. >>> polls show donald trump on top of the gop field. he runs ahead of jeb bush overcoming the dust-up with mccain. trump says there is a reason he is number one. let's get more from sunlen serfaty. >> reporter: this poll shows that donald trump is not just a hiccup in this race. right now, he is the national front runner among republicans. it is important to note this poll

susan rice goes on television and says it's a video, it's a demonstration.nton later denies that she had anything to do with those talking points. false. she never revealed a private server in her basement until it was discovered. when it was discovered, she wipes it clean. nearly two years after she leaves the department of state. i think we now have enough information to understand that hillary clinton as secretary of state has engaged in gross dereliction of duty. she has engaged in a cover up and she has blood on her hands. >> blood on her hands? is that too strong? they point to a fact a house report exonerated her and they don't believe there's a smoking gun. >> listen to the litany i went through. i turned over the e-mails? no i didn't. i had nothing to do with the talking points? yes, you did. it was a video and demonstration? it turns out it was a preplanned terrorist attack. i didn't tell anyone i had a private server and e-mail account. when you found it out, i wiped it clean. 55,000 e-mails we will never know about. >> the campaign will blame any

he is also flanked by susan rice and the commerce secretary.n the talks today. he will talk to the prime minister regarding human rights violations in ethiopia. the ruling party in ethiopia won 100% of the votes. many of the opposition parties saying that was not a clear indication of what was on the ground. we expect the president will not shy away from the topics despite the smiles reported between the two leaders when the bilaterals began. in most places american aircraft are likely to deliver drone strikes than president. this was different when president obama dropped truth bombs. we heard the "truth bombs" going head-to-head with the prime minister talking gay rights which the president called a non issue. and president obama discussed women's rights. because something is a tradition on the african continent doesn't make it right. he has not been mincing his words. security of course, a major issue for president obama. highlighted when al shabaab attacked a hotel for westerners in the capital of mogadishu. that borders ethiopia and kenya.

we have a chance to ask the national security advisor, susan rice about the allegations and also heardjohn boehner, the house speaker on iran. let's listen. >> the president's iran deal may have been applauded at the united nations, i think he faces serious skepticism here at home. let me just assure you that members of congress will ask much tougher questions this afternoon when we meet with the president's team. because a bad deal threatens the security of the american people. >> we have provided congress with all of the documents that we drafted or were part of drafting and all documents that have been shared with us by the iaea. so there's nothing that we are holding in our possession that we had either any role in crafting or were given to us that has not been given to congress. >> reporter: house lawmakers getting a briefing from two aides on the iran deal. the senate is set to hear tomorrow from top administration officials, including secretary of state kerry. martha? >> lot of questions, james, thank you very much. >>> the secondary deals between tehran and the iaea monica crow

>> i don't believe that susan rice, national security adviser, has seen it. i think -- >> she said she did six days ago. she said six days ago she had seen it and reviewed it and that congress will get to see it in a classified section. my question is have you seen it? >> no, i haven't seen it. i have been briefed on it. >> but you haven't read it? you haven't seen it. let me ask you this -- >> it's in the possession of the iaea. >> are you going to read it? >> we don't have access to the actual agreement. >> secretary rice has access to it but you don't have access to it. >> i don't know about that. >> that's just what she said. i'm just going on what she said. is the policy of the united states still that iran will never have nuclear weapons? >> yes. >> is it the policy of the ayatollah, if you can answer for him, that iran wants to destroy the united states? that still their policy, as far as you know? >> i don't believe they have said that. i believe they said death to america in their chants, but i have not seen specifics. >> i kind of take that to mean

susan rice put the -- she was then at the u.n. she put the arms piece in at the last minute a throw-in in the last moment in the nuclear resolution. and the nuclear resolution always contemplated if the iaea came to what is known as the broad conclusion that iran was not engaged in any illicit activities in the declared or undeclared activities, that all of the sanctions are lifted. so no matter what was going to happen here, we were going to lose both the missile and the arms under the u.n. component. but here is what we've done in the meantime that we believe actually takes care of this issue. first of all -- >> mr. secretary i followed the arguments that you've made about the laws that we have to defend against iran's missile program and i understand your -- the steps that you took here. i'm just saying big picture -- big picture when we end up with a bottom line where in eight years they get the missile it doesn't look like a victory to me it looks like -- >> they don't. >> they may not get the missile at that time, but they c

susan rice said yesterday those agreements aren't public but will be shown to members of congress inhe classified briefings. >> iran and iaea. these documents are not public. nonetheless, we have been briefed on those documents, know their contents satisfied with them. we'll share the contents of those briefings in full and classified session with congress. there's nothing in that regard that we know that they won't know. >> the issue was brought to light those calling them unresponsible. >>> geoff is live from london. help me explain this. apple posted better than expected quarterly numbers yet stocks continue to tumble. what's going on? >> this was astonishing. good numbers out boeing and coca-cola. it seemed like a bad apple as far as markets are concerned. 33% jump in revenue. these were phenomenal numbers. the street moved estimates. it wanted to see something even better. that's why we didn't hit that big stretch $50 million sales number for the iphones. the outlook was ho hum as far as investigators were concerned.le ale got pummelled. you know what? there's negative news flow

susan rice put the -- she was then at the u.n. -- she put the arms piece in at the last minute. it was a throw-in at the last moment into this nuclear -- nuclear resolution. and the nuclear resolution always contemplated that if the iaea came to what is known as its brood conclusion that iran was not engaged in any illicit activities, then all of the sanctions are lifted so no matter what was going to happen here we were going to lose both the missile and the arms under the u.n. component. but here is what we have zone in the meantime that we believe actually takes care of this issue. first of all -- >> mr. secretary, i -- i followed the arguments that you have made about the laws that we have to defend against iran's missile program, and i understand the steps that you took here. i'm just saying big picture, big picture, when we end up with a bottom line where in eight years they get the missile, it doesn't look like a victory. they may not get the missile at that time but they can buy the technology at that time. >> actually they can't, mr. chairman because we have several oth

is saying they are basically standard practice but it gets a little muddy, because we did hear susan rice refer to an agreement between iran and the iaea saying that is something separate from this process. so while the white house is saying this does not change the playing field, republicans today will certainly take the administration to task. we'll hear mostly from the defense secretary and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, but we have secretary kerry and secretary moniz who are there to answer questions. and they will likely get harsh questions. >> i just want to go back to senator john mccain who says the deal could end up backfiring on the u.s. military if iran falls back on the agreement. >> the iran agreement not only paves iran's path to a nuclear capability, it will further -- it will further iran's emergence as a dominant military power in the middle east. the ultimate guarantee that iran will not get a nuclear weapon is not 109-page document it is any capability of the u.s. military to do what is necessary if all else fails, and yet this agreement would enable iran to

. >> i would employ you to use your power to not use the same power that briefed susan rice on bengahzi or bowe bergdahl. make sure that we get a decent briefing there. mr. kerry, you say frequently this is the strongest negotiation that you could get you felt like it was that he would walk away from a bad deal. i would summit this. you say there are 535 secretary secretary of state but if you were going to get a strong deal i have it from the get go that i think there is a stronger position you should have taken. i'm going to layout some pre-drugs. and you tell me if you operated from this base. i agree with senate duncan who said the american hostages should have been released first and foremost. number two demand should have been for iran to dismantle all of its centrifuges. number three give the iaea unfettered 24/7, 365 day access. number four, stop the exporting of terror to syria to iraq and everywhere. number five, denounce terrorism and prosecute those who purpose traited, restore civil rights in their own country. number six stop the death chant to america and israel and the n

today, national security advisor susan rice called the situation heartbreaking. she harshly criticized its government, saying they are directly responsible for a return to war. the nation has been in civil war since 2013. the death toll is believed to be between 10,000 and 50,000 people and the economy on the verge of collapse. some residents say their own government is killing them. >> she was fetching firewood northeast of here. she said she was ambushed by government soldiers. they allegedly stabbed and shot her multiple times before she was rescued and airlifted to this red cross health center. her brother says the security situation is not what he expected, but he celebrated independence from sudan four years ago. >> if you get independence and you are still dying you can't be happy. if the conflict was not happening, i wouldn't be here, so how can i celebrate. >> having a medical checkup she is days old and her mother says she just wants her child to grow up in peace. >> i want the two sides to come together. it's only the leadership that can bring peace so

gwen: this is what susan rice said to me the other night on the "newshour" and what they all said and they have this snapback sanctions which is my new favorite word, snapback sanctions and once we prove that they're not sticking to the deal we can reimpose the sanctions. we have partially lifted. but it's not clear at least to members of congress whether that would work. >> david, i'll defer to you. quickly, i'll say what fascinates me about how that part of the deal and some other things having to do with inspections were structured was the degree to which it was design to prevent russia and china from screwing things up essentially. they did do a decent job in the deal of creating, you know, mechanisms and joint commissions where all the votes are winnable without the participation of russia, china, and iran. >> u.n. sanctions. but the u.s. can snap back its own sanctions unilaterally if it wants to. the only question at that point is are the european nations and russia and china going to abide by u.s. secondary sanctions to this point? and they won't if they think that iran is not

but susan rice is saying it will not be enough time to hide a nuclear site. if the iranians said no you cannot see the site the iaea can ask for visiting if they are suspicious. there has to be a reasoninable suspicion however. >> i don't think it is absurd to think we should have some relation with iran. the iranians are getting a bomb no matter what. the real question is is the core competence of the obama administration to enforce this? this is the administration that underestimated isis. >> kristen you see the president willing to bump up the military aid to israel because part of the deal we didn't know about was this huge ballistic deal. >> you have to think about the alternative and that is no deal. the reality is people who are being crushed with sanctions is europeans and asians and they don't want to continue to do that. they said that flat out. the british ambassador was saying they were not going to work long term. if there is no deal -- >> what about a deal that says you cannot promise to not hit israel? >> i don't think we can force iran to do t

susan rice said the final version, another third resolution in 2009 when she was u.n. ambassador. iran said it's not fair to keep sanctions on the embargo, which is a sanction on them and they want it lifted. they claim that was agreed to in april in switzerland. russia will benefit greatly and can profit. if this ban is lifted. my understanding from talking to people along the way is they may modify it. chris? >> okay. thank you very much. thank you andrea mitchell. >>> this is "hardball" the place for politics. and why stop what you're doing to find a bathroom? with cialis for daily use, you don't have to plan around either. it's the only daily tablet approved to treat erectile dysfunction so you can be ready anytime the moment is right. plus cialis treats the frustrating urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol i

it was the last minute, then un --mb then, you know, un representatives susan rice helped write that or wrote part of it and she put it in and in fact the iranians bitterly objected to it, thought it was being rammed at them and had no business being part of agreement, they thought they had ever right in the world to do it. they had ignored it for all these years. they made it clear from the get-go that one of the primary red license was they had to get all those sanctions lifted. wefr said no. we are not going to lift them. look at what you're doing in yemen. we are not going to lift them. the problem senator three countries out seven that were ready to lift in day one and four countries that said no, we need to keep them. the compromise was recognizing that we had many different ways to coming at the enforcement of missiles and arms with specific resolutions to no arms to houthi. lib yeah, north África, north korea. all of these are existing resolutions. in fact, we won a victory to get the five in the eight to continue in the context of the nuclear resolution where they believe th

he clarified some comments as well as susan rice. are you satisfied with the answer that you got from the administration on these side deals? >> no, i'm not. i traveled to vienna last week to meet the iaea, specifically to discuss this issue of side deals. they were frank and helpful in saying they reached two secret agreements with iran about the military complex while iran is testing nuclear detonators and how they're going to verify the past military work that iran has done in the nuclear program. so the state department confirmed now finally that those agreement dozen, in fact, exist. but they have not told us the contents of the agreements. so unless congress gets the contents of these agreements and knows, for example how the iaea plans to expect the military site, i don't know how they could vote for this deal because it's based on verification and inspection. and without that information, i don't see how we can trust the government of iran. >> senator cotton it is willie geist. i'm wondering how and why the side deals would h

he made jabs against susan rice or others, they were unfair and i kind of wish that, you know, for allhe decency he showed there, i don't want to just pick on lindsey graham, that sort of decency would inform the debates we have. chris christie today is quoted in the washington post saying the problem with president obama is that he doesn't like being president and that he just doesn't like people. does chris christie, talk about liking people. let's put that aside. my question is, does chris christie really actually believe that obama doesn't like people? and that's something to say? i mean, it's just silly name calling and from a guy who used to hug obama when they were working together on hurricane sandy relief efforts. so why does he say crap like that? i don't really get it. i don't know. it's not necessary. >> field being so big and predictable because of how flat it is and the size of the field, i feel like anything might break out at minute, and so some of that is going to be nasty and some of it is going to be ugly and some will be fact challenge. i'm starting to wonder if dec

by susan rice. when she first wrotes resolution 19-29, the arms resolution came into that at the very last minute. >> i'm sorry i'm cutting you off. the inspection and transparency of those inspections -- is aa serious question that needs to be objected to. senator menendez? >> i was going to add a small foot note to the issue of countries without diplomatic relations not being part of the inspection team. i want to point out again for decades now all inspectors have training here in the united states. we're very confident in a very, very broad set of confident people. in addition -- i could get you the exact number but right now i think we have a dozen americans in the safegardz efforts at iaea and they play a very critical role. >> i would love it if you would get me that information specifically. >> senator, i'll get you a list of all the mcnichls we have to prevent arms flowing. >> those are critical questions to me and the american public. thank you for service to our country. >> thank you, sen

resolution was actually negotiated by susan rice, the national security adviser, when she was u.n. ambassador. this is the u.n. embargo on the sell of conventional weapons to or from iran and ballistic missiles. this was secretary kerry's response. >> the united nations passed a resolution that said if iran comes to the negotiating table the sanctions will be lifted. that was the deal. we're not even doing that. we're keeping the sanctions in place despite the fact that three of the negotiating countries thought they should end automatically. we won that battle. we're keeping them in place if another five years. and we're always have the ability to go back to the u.n. to do any number of things ourselves, if they don't change or things don't get better. >> so john kerry very animated very passionate despite his we'riness and deserving of a victory lap in terms of what he came here to achieve. he came away certainly the u.s. side beliefs with a lot more than anyone had been led to believe. >> nbc's andrea mitchell reporting there for us in vienna. be sure to watch "andrea mitchell r

i believe it was susan rice on your show said money will be used by the iranians to continue funding behavior. it went a little further saying the deal with iran was never intended to change their bad behavior i welcome the release, we should demand the release of four american hostages. to think we have created this patient pathway to a nuclear bomb is more acceptable. >> this was strictly a deal to do away with iran's cape abilities. >> it didn't do that. >> they acknowledge it wasn't designed to stop their supporting terrorist organization s organizations in the region. it was strictly designed to deal with their nuclear program. >> in fact i think that's what the president has achieved. not only has he created a situation where we have sanctions that will be beginning to be released. the united nations acted first, sanctions are going to be lifted billions of dollars will start pouring into the iranian economy, and they've done nothing to say they'll change their behavior. secretary kerry is worried they will not change their attitudes one iota. the more and more people learn abo

>> i don't believe that susan rice, national security adviser, has seen it.t she's -- >> she says she did six days ago that she had seen it and reviewed it and that congress will get to see anytime a classified section. my question is, have you seen it? >> no, i haven't seen it. i've been briefed on it. >> are you going to read it? >> we don't have access to the actual agreement. >> but secretary rice has access to it but you don't have access to it. >> i don't know about that. >> joining us now from austin, texas, karl rove. so this thing is pretty scary with iran now. what we're talking about is i guess ballistic missiles and other components to build high tech weaponry that because iran signed this nuke deal are going to be able to get. that's what we're talking about. but they made the deal with the u.n. and kerry doesn't know about it. >> well, no, there are two different things. we know that the arms ban is going to go away within i believe it's five years. we know the restraint on their development of their icbm program goes away again within a certain

susz susan rice said the final version, another third resolution in 2009 when she was u.n.sador. iran said it's not fair to keep sanctions on the embargo, which is a sanction on them and they want it lifted. they claim that was agreed to intzerlandswitzerland. russia will benefit greatly and can profit. if this ban is lifted. my understanding from talking to people along the way is they may modify it. chris? >> oak.kay. thank you very much. thank you andrea mitchell in. >>> this is "hardball" the place for politics. because hearts health is important. that's why i've researched optimized and packaged this mix just for you. not you. so if you have a heart start optimizing your nutrition with my nutrition. planters. nutrition starts with nut. mornings. wonderful, crazy mornings. we figure you probably don't have time to wait on hold. that's why at xfinity we're hard at work building new apps like this one that lets you choose a time for us to call you. so instead of waiting on hold, we'll call you when things are just as wonderful...
