ernest moniz. we'll be right back. after a dvt blood clot.mind when i got out of the hospital what about my family? my li'l buddy? and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. then my doctor told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate med

ernest moniz. not only-- big moniz fans. big moniz fans here tonight. not only is he an m.i.t. physicist who helped negotiate the iran nuclear deal, but i believe he also invented five-hour energy drink. and we'll hear music from raury,

tonight, my first guess secretary of energy ernest moniz will answer the criticisms of the deal made by dick cheney today. >> major victory for president obama and the white house on the iran nuclear deal. >> this agreement will stand. >> they went over the top of the senate. >> and made sure president obama doesn't need his veto pack. >> we have not getting anything out this deal. >> chick cheney ramped up his criticism. >> it will give iran the means to launch a nuclear attack on the u.s. homeland. >>> breaking news out of kentucky where county clerk kim davis was released from jail. mike huckabee turning out in support of kim davis. >> if you have to put someone in jail, i volunteer to go. let me go. >> he is a good candidate. >> chance of run, joe, run are picking up steam. >> he looks like a candidate shaking hands, smiling, kissing babies. >> will joe biden jump in? >> i have to talk to my wife about that. >> final five undecided senators announce their positions today on the obama administration's deal with iran. republican susan collins of maine announced he will oppose the d

energy secretary ernest moniz praised the agreement. he said it makes it clear that iran would not possess nuclear weapons under any circumstances. the head of iran's atomic energy agency also commented. >> we, likewise, expect the iaea and the e3eu3 to reciprocate through impartial and objective conclusion of the ongoing process, and removal of the unjust sanctions respectively. >> the iaea has also submitted its final report on the 2011 fukushima daiichi nuclear accident to the conference. agency official 0s hope sharing the lessons of fukushima will improve the safety of nuclear plants. the chairman of the atomic commission spoke about his country's restart of a nuclear reactor in southwestern japan. it was put online in august under new regulations made after the fukushima accident. all nuclear plants in japan had been offline for nearly two years. >>> japanese prime minister shinzo abe remains determined to enact security regulations during the current diet center. law makers are vowing to put up a fight. they're promising to do ev

trained nuclear physicist ernest moniz. well, donald trump and critics are saying that this is the worst negotiation ever and that the united states is led by very, very stupid people. would you care to respond? >> certainly, andrea. for one thing, he might want to read the letter by 29 of the country's leading scientists who wrote to the president and called the agreement the most innovative and stringent nonproliferation agreement ever negotiated. i think i would take their opinion with some considerable weight. >> one of the people who has now dorsed the people is hillary clinton in a speech yesterday here in washington at the brookings institution. and she, although supporting it and taking credit the initial secret negotiations that led to the further negotiations and the framework, she is saying that it needs to be toughened up in the enforcement phase, that it's a case of distrust but verify, to paraphrase ronald reagan. your response to that? >> well, first of all, i want to emphasize that support for the agreement

i think as you listen to armie moneys -- ernest moniz, i think it is a conclusion everyone will come to. i am joined by two cabinet secretaries, both ernie and jack are critical of our ability to do this. the treasury department's knowledge of the sanctions and application of the sanctions has been exemplary. i have helped us understand the implications of the sanctions. as jack will let you know, we are not talking about 100 and $50 billion, -- we are not talking $150 billion. from the day the negotiations began, we were crystal clear that we would not except anything less than a good deal. one that would shut off the pathways toward fissile material for a nuclear weapon. after 18 months of intensive talks, the facts are pretty clear. the plan was announced this month by six nations. it encompasses that. all of the nations have nuclear power or nuclear weapons. all are extremely knowledgeable in this challenge of perforation. -- proliferation. iran has agreed to remove 98% of its stockpile of enriched uranium. they will dismantle two thirds of its installed centrifuges. they will de

a few weeks after this announcement, secretary ernest moniz, who was the secretary at the tape with secretary kerry in negotiating this deal, he said "we expect to have any where -- i should say" anywhere, any time access." he said that on april 20, 2013. this is a particularly clear statement from anyone familiar with the negotiations process and of course% well received because this is at minimum what needs to be done in order to keep iran from cheating. but by the weekend the administration was singing a different tune. this is what secretary kerry said when he began to backtrack from what what was said by secretary moniz on april 20. he said any time -- any time, anywhere inspections was -- quote -- "a term that honestly i never heard in the four years we were negotiating. it was not on the table." i don't know whether secretary moniz and secretary kerry actually talked to each other or not. they spent an awful lot of time together in vienna and supposedly would be on the same page. but for secretary kerry to say this really incredible statement that he never heard of this idea and this w

john kerry as ernest moniz is up here lobbying. they are saying, look, this is the way to prevent iran to get a nuclear weapon. i should know i used to run the physics department, i have a doctorate in the subject. we have a rally happening on the hill just outside the u.s. congress building, ted cruz the reality tv star, donald trump who is also very well-known and successful businessman also rallying against this agreement, so there's a pretty intense back and forth going on, a lot of debate before that event occurs. >> okay. thank you kimberly. >>> campaigning is underway in singapore ahead of the general election on friday. more than 2.5 million are expected to vote. and the domination of the long ruling people's action party faces a serious challenge from opposition groups. >> reporter: at a rally for the worker's party, many candidates are newcomers into politics. the party has become the major opposition voice in a system where there was little descent, still the best they can hope for is unsettling rather than unseating the

with that in mind, kerry and energy secretary ernest moniz sought to pressure republicans to move on. >> we hope that the senate would move rapidly to do the business of our country-- not of a party, but the business of our nation. >> reporter: despite the drama, speeches and jockeying, the iran deal's legislative future seems secure. president obama has more than enough votes for it to survive in the u.s. senate. what the rally outside and other words today may indicate the future of the deal as a hot 2016 issue. democratic hopeful hillary clinton laid out her views in a washington speech. she acknowledged the iran deal is "not perfect" but maintained it's the only way to keep iran from developing a nuclear bomb. >> either we move forward on the path of diplomacy and seize this chance to block iran's path to a nuclear weapon, or we turn down a more dangerous path leading to a far less certain and riskier future. >> reporter: and on the senate floor, her democratic rival, bernie sanders, compared critics of the deal to those who voted to go war with iraq in 2003. >> unfortunately, the

tonight, my first guess secretary of energy ernest moniz will answer the criticisms of the deal made by dick cheney today.

more from secretary kerry as he and energy secretary ernest moniz testify about the nuclear deal in front of the house foreign affairs committee. this is an hour. >> this hearing will come to order. today, we continue our review of the nuclear agreement with the obama administration reached with iran. this is a critical hearing, some say decades, demanding the committee's thorough review. last congress, we passed comprehensive sanctions legislation by a vote of 400-20. it would have given iran's the ability to collapse but we blocked that. committee members will face the important decision in september, of approving or disapproving this agreement. we will have that vote only because of the iran nuclear agreement review act passed in may. which the administration didn't want. the preference has been to sideline america's representatives so i was not surprised when the administration went against bipartisan calls and gave russia, and china and others at the security counsel a vote on the agreement before the american public. that is backedwar wards and wro. we heard concern from experts abo

moniz andmbas ambassadors from the other countries that negotiated alongside of us, our intelligence communitiesael advocates for israel on both sides of the issue, my constituents in minnesota and of course with my colleagues in the senate. many have expressed reservations about the agreement and i sharef some of those reservations. not a perfect agreement. but it is a strong one. as many people have said no deal is better than a bad deal.rfec but that doesn't mean the only deal we agree to is a perfect deal. the last perfect deal we got was on the deck of the uss missouri. what a cost we had to pay for that including the use of a u nuclear weapon in war, the only use of actually two. this agreement is in my opinion, the most effective, realistic,ii option available to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weaponcla anytime in the next 15 years and beyond. iran must never, ever, have a nuclear weapon. and after 15 years, we will still have every option wee currently have, up to and including the use of military force, to prevent iran from getting a bomb. moreover while critics eagerly

moniz, talking about the iran nuclear deal. also on twitter this morning, reporting that john kerry said in this news conference that the u.s. is committed to taking more syrian refugees. he was asked about that as well though he did not give a number on that issue. dennis in lexington, south carolina. go ahead, dennis, give us your thoughts. what do you think about this iran nuclear deal? caller: this is supposed to be a country of the people, not the president obama or should i call him king obama. this agreement is actually a treaty and should have been passed through congress before and all these things that are not being told to the american people that are secret agreements, what do we know, we don't know exactly what they things what kind of they are giving back to to the iranian people, people who just yesterday said death to america, death to israel blow them off a map, how can we, with ear conscience, support an they, t like that when since the 1970's, and yes i'm old enough to know that, i was here then, and since th

ernest tary of energy moniz said this increases iran's breakout time from two to three months today to at least 12 months going forward this will give us ample opportunity to catch and stop iran should it choose to pursue a nuclear weapon. some have have -- some have suggest wed need to reject this deal to get a better one but i have found no evidence to show that a better deal is possible. it's clear that some of our negotiating partners and other allies don't want more sangs. if we reject this deal, the robust international sanctions regime would erode if not unravel entirely. in the meantime, iran could move forward with its enrichment program without inspections, limitations on manufacturing, installation, research and development of knew centrifuges and constraints on its enriched uranium stockpile. simply put, no deal would mean no inspections and no constraints on iran's nuclear ambitions. some have suggested that we cannot make an agreement with a country that we do not trust but we must remember that this deal is not based on trust but rather the most intrusive inspections reg

moniz representing the united states. when discussing this agreement, rent scowcroft, former advisor to both president george w. bush and george h.w. bush said there's no more credible expert on energy weapons than secretary moniz. when he asserts this blocks each of iran's pathways to fissile material responsible people listen. responsible people listen. end quote. it's not clear based on this support in the senate that the effort to kill this will end in the upper chamber. but regardless of that certainty, the house majority has nonetheless thrown us into disarray. we'll vote today on two bills, another one tomorrow. in which -- it was decided that first there will be a bill to say that the president cannot lift the sanctions and a bill on side agreements they think are out there that nobody else knows about. and the most interesting one is the bill tomorrow will be to approve it. you know, you've already had all these discussions, we can't have it, the world will not survive, we have to approve it. but just in case bec
