tim kaine talking right now but this vote happened to short time ago. the people who oppose the president and the other countries deal with iran needed 60 votes today to move a resolution forward. they got 58 votes. they fell just short. this is a victory for the president and his iran deal. what it means is the president as soon as next week and start enacting the deal. he can remove some of the sanctions on iran or start scaling the back. the united states and others have promised iran hundreds of billions of dollars in relief. their supposed be able to monitor iran and keep it from getting a bomb. this.ery skeptical about the republicans were unanimous in the senate in opposition to the deal. they were joined by a number of democrats. in the end they did not quite have the votes. they needed 60 votes. the president's deal will move forward. the republicans in the house are still trying to find ways to stop it. without the senate, it looks like it will be impossible to stop the deal at this point unless something major changes. tom roussey, abc 7 news

a lot of people including senator tim kaine believes this is going to be a pastoral visit and not muchthe way of politics but the pope has a way to weave in some quotes that work out very well to talk about his particular stance on certain things. when nature is used solely as a source of profit and gain, this has consequences for society. that's his comment of course about the environment and global warming. it will be interesting to see what comes out of his meeting with president obama today at the white house and of course the rock star welcome he's expected to get from the hundreds of thousands of people lining the parade route. andrea, we are all looking forward to this and of course we're going to have the details. if you're headed down here, the gates close at 10:00 a.m. remember, use the app that can get you around d.c. very easily. >> absolutely. the app is definitely where it's at today. nick? >>> thank you both. now in the news right now, new york yankees hall of famer going by berra has -- yogi berra was died. he was a three-time american league mvp and got the call to coo

tim kaine is as this event, a number of other lawmakers there as well.orner there is her father and he will speak since obviously that tragedy happened, he's been vocal about wanting to effect change in this country as it relates to those who are able to purchase weapons. >>> now to the next big war brewing in washington. congress is racing against a september 30th deadline to fund the federal government and avoid a shutdown. but a group of at least 28 house republicans is vowing to block any deal that continues to fund planned parenthood, even if it means shutting down the government protest. that effort gained momentum following the recent release of undercover videos by anti-abortion activists accusing planned parenthood from selling tissues of aborted fetuses. and planned parenthood says the videos were heavily edited. the issue also threatens to fuel an effort by a group of house conservatives to remove john boehner as speaker. joining me now, republican congresswoman diane black. thank you for your time here. your stance is very interesting in that

. >>> now to senator tim kaine. thank you very much, senator. >> absolutely. >> first of all, hillary clinton actually took a tougher line than just president obama. she called the iranian regime a brutal regime. she went after them. she said i will use force, i will use military action. she was tough on vladimir putin. she said her policy will be distrust but verify. and she made it very clear that there were mistakes made when the administration decided not to go after -- not to go after assad over those chemical weapons. senator, sorry, i wanted to ask you your reaction to that. >> oh. >> too long a wind-up. my bad. >> i wondered if there was a question mark there. i've been reading the accounts of what she said. look, on iran since we're up here really debating that for the next week or ten days, she's right. it's a brutal regime, it's a regime that's active in destabilizing yemen, in propping up bashar al assad, in turning iraq into a puppet state. that's why it's so important iran not get nuclear weapons. befo

and tim kaine says unless the fed gets on top of it, things get worse. your argument is start hiking, start moving, fast, right? >> i do. and the interesting part of this debate to me is that even if the fed does raise rates by a quarter point, it's stimulating. these are really low basic short-term interest rates. so i think we need to return to normalcy. neil: what would be normalcy? the last hike we had that was back on june 29, 2006 brought us up to 5%, we're essentially at 5% now. they say normalcy is at or around plus the inflation rate, so maybe 3%, but that's 300 basis points from where we are now. what's normalcy to you? >> well, we know it's somewhere between 0 and 5, and 0 is not normal. 0 is extremely abnormal. neil: wait, i could do that. i would guess you have to deliver the goods. what is it? >> i'm not able to hear you, but i'll just say this. getting to about 2% is normal, and we should start and we should have started a long time trying to do that. neil: we conveniently lost his audio just at the right time. touche for moi. seriously, t

to teach safe relationships act of 2015 introduced by senator tim kain of virginia would require that health education in public secondary schools include learning not just biology, but also safe relationship behavior aimed at preventing sexual assault, domestic violence and dating violence. currently federal law does not require sex education classes to include information regarding these relationships, which can prevent sexual assault. there's also a study published in the june 2015 new england journal of medicine that found that college women who participated in an intensive program showing students how to recognize and resist sexual aggression reduced their chance of being raped by nearly 50% and attempted rape by 62%. we know that funding is also an issue and funding is needed to implement educational programs and robust enforcement of all civil rights laws on campus. over the department of education funding has decreased and flat lined over the years and the staffing level is the lowest it's been in 34 years despite having a record of 10,000 civil rights complaint. we can also d

foreign relations committee, said that was always implied in the underlying legislation, so did tim kaine, the democratic senator from virginia. republicans said why would you filibuster something if you support it? why not have a vote and let the country see? that's part of the debate. procedurally, it's sort of an umbrella over the underlying merits of the deal which we'll get into very much. as i was coming over in the cab, the white house issued its veto threat with a lengthy list of objections to a motion of disapproval. we'll get into that with the panelists as well. you've got about 30 seconds more in the predebate poly. if you want to register your opinion. one last thing i would say before i invite your four panelists up hering i've been covering the obama white house for the better part of six years. and if there is one brief that the president has carried throughout his presidency, one thing he has constantly monitored, and deeply involved himself in the underlying details of, it has been first, the method to obtain a nuclear deal with iran, its underlying specific the verifica

i tout that was a telling remark there this morning when you were meeting with virginia senator tim kainee's message. >> exactly. he wants a positive response to help uplift them, help them go forward. we have gotten an advance copy of the speech, but it's embargoed so we can't say what's in it. but we got appear idea of what he might be talking about because of the remarks. he is very careful in his words but he doesn't mince words. he used one quote that he has used in the past, unfettered capitalism. he calls it the devil's dung. we know he wants equity in pay and immigration reform. he says if anyone thinks he's aligned with any political party, he said he is never said anything other than what is in the social doctrine of the church, i follow the church, this is what i do, and i do not think i am wrong. tess good shepherd, and what he is intending to do is leave his flock the good of the human community. >> andrea i have a quick question, because you got to play a role yesterday in some of the lead-up festivities to the mass. >> reporter: yes. >> i know that you are catholic, and thi
