just seconds ago, senator manchin said he was against the deal. the senator about to support the deal will be giving a speech in the nation's capitol. former vice president dick cheney is against the deal and offers this stark warning. >> with movement on iran's nuclear program, this will give them the means to launch an attack on the u.s. homeland. >> the white house is closely watching all these developments unfold and that's why we find white house correspondent chris jansing. chris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> manchin not unexpected. right? >> that's right. that means there's still four democrats undecided. the white house would need three to be able to ensure they wouldn't have to worry about that second vote on a resolution. having said that, i think they breathed a sigh of relief last week when they got the number they needed to ensure they wouldn't have to worry about holding up that veto. now the question really is, do they have sort of the stakes for argument? and as you know, the people who are still out there, blumentha

senator manchin, thank you for your kind introduction. i'm grateful for your friendship, your decades of service to our state, and your strong support. i'll just briefly note that i'm so pleased that my brother matthew is here with me today, and that other members of my family are here with me in spirit. it is an honor to have been nominated by president obama to serve as the administrator for the federal railroad administration. and to have earned the confidence of secretary fox. it is also a great responsibility and one that i take seriously. just one month after i became acting administrator, a metro north train traveling out of new york city hit a car at a grade crossing. six people were killed doing what millions of americans do every day, traveling home from work, visiting friends, or on their way to see their family. days later in senator manchin's and my home state of west virginia, a mile and a half long train carrying 109 tank cars loaded with crude oil derailed near the town of montgomery. one person was injured. multiple small

. >> thank you, senator manchin. i have senator wicker followed by senator -- told we have a vote at 11:00. if we can get everybody in before we have to bust over there would be a good thing and i'm sure ms. feinberg would appreciate that, too. senator wicker? >> thank you, ms. feinberg. i think we have been kind today but i do think the committee on both sides of the aisle, the members are a little confused and frustrated by a lack -- the lack of a specific proposal concerning the extension. now, the chairman came in and clarified that apparently fra still stands by the grow america recommendation concerning extensions on a case by case basis. is that your position? >> well, we ask -- what we asked for in the grow america act was not a blanket extension but flexibility to work with railroads so that we could prioritize where ptc would be turned on. so the statute is very black and white an offers literally really no wriggle room and soo what we asked for in the grow america act was flexibility to work with railroads

any friend of senator manchin is a friend of ours. first i wanted to just talk to you about the blocked crossing issues. as i travel across minnesota i hear from people all over the state who have spent an excessive amount of time sometimes hours stuck waiting at a blocked rail crossing. blocked rail crossings not only inconvenience drivers but they delay emergency vehicles. in july i was in rainier, minnesota, it's a major crossing but a very small town. their rail crossing blockings is six to eight hours a day in the town, so in the drive act we actually put a provision in there to direct the secretary of transportation to develop highway rail crossing action plans including tools and data, safety risks, other things, and that is the amendment that's in there. acting administrator feinberg, as this process moves forward what steps can the fra take to minimize blocked rail crossings and do you have the best practices in place? >> thank you for the question. we are also very concerned about blocked crossings. we do not actually have r

so joe manchin will not support a filibuster of the iran deal. and he hasn't said that publicly. he said in it an interview with me and i had permission to quote him. so at least he is one. and i don't know if chris kuhns has made such a declare i have the statement but the white house is trying to get seven of the ten to support a filibuster. am i right materially there would be no difference in the iran deal going through because it got filibusters in the snad and the iran deal not going through because president obama vetoed it? either way, it goes through. >> materially you're right. but the world then never sees an actual vote by the united states senate. supporting a resolution of disapproval on the iran deal. that's a big deal. >> so the idea, the rest of the world seeing american resolve or seeing two american faces on this issue. that's, it is a sort of impressionistic power of that rather than the -- >> in the end, the president will prevail. he will not have his veto overridden. you're absolutely right on the substance. so this is a big deal. but it is very different w

maryland senator benjamin cardin, new jersey senator robert menendez, and west virginia senator joe manchin. after the vote, senate republican leader mitch mcconnell vowed to continue to fight against the deal, a move some say is a futile act of political posturing. we'll have more on the iran nuclear deal after headlines. the obama administration has agreed to accept at least 10,000 syrian refugees over the next year, an increase that falls far short of figures called for by lawmakers and international aid organizations. the united states has resettled fewer than 1500 syrians since the conflict began. at least four million syrians are displaced outside syria's borders. the international rescue committee, has called on the united states to take in at least 65,000 refugees from syria -- a demand reiterated by democratic presidential candidate martin o'malley and more than 100,000 americans who signed a handful of petitions in recent days. the u.n. general assembly voted overwhelmingly on thursday to approve the palestinians to fly their flag outside the u.n. headquarters. the resolution, whi

they're going to probably need somebody like a joe manchin to change their mind to get to that 41. say, ok, well, we will filibuster as well. are down to about four votes or five votes to determine that. host: on the house sat, there is something called the resolution of disapproval. could you expect what that is? guest: this is a procedure that allows people to vote against something and it ends up happening still. you have a divided government, republicans want to vote against something and the white house is fine with them doing that because they can be tailored. it is a resolution of disapproval and it needs a simple majority that goes over to the senate, you need 60 votes to get the president's desk and he can veto it. a lot of republicans and scholars on the right are upset with this procedure. they think it is basically about politicians avoiding playing and a look at the constitutions that say treaties need to be approved by two thirds of the senate. well, this deal will would get close to 67. what ends up happening is the white house says it is not a treaty even though it

manchin hasn't made it clear but wouldn't support a filibuster. >> you were on the coolest show ever on tv. alex seitz-wald, thanks as well. >> yours is the coolest show. >> no, maddow, for sure. >>> developing this morning in gop politics, jeb bush still swinging hard at donald trump. bush is about to start a town hall meeting in new hampshire but ahead of that, he again lashed out at his party's front-runner calling trump's demand that he only speak spanish on the campaign trail, quote, ridiculous. he said trump is not someone worthy of the republican nomination. >> he doesn't have a set of plans. if he had to do the traditional thing which is, here's my policy as it relates to immigration, his policy is not serious, it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars, it's probably unconstitutional and violates civil liberties. if he actually had to debate the points on taxes and regulation, people would be surprised that he is a liberal in many of these views, the expressed views he has on taxes, on health care are views that are more closely similar to those of hillary clinton. >> nbc

he met with senator vitter, senator manchin played a role in that. senator manchin was one of the ones that was going to come to the floor and talk, played a role in getting them together. as a result, a bipartisan bill came out in the last congress, and it's continued now for almost two and a half years, and it's a very good product. so with that, i came down to speak on a different subject also, and i would prefer that be -- i would ask consent that it be in another place in the record, madam president. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: thank you. madam president, the american people want a government that works, not one that shuts down to send a message. they want a congress that moves the nation forward. not one that grinds to a halt. they want a responsible budget that supports working families and strengthens our economy, creates jobs. these should be our priorities, not an attack on women's health care. i understand some people have strong views about a woman's right to choose that are different than mine. there are strong d

one of those democrats, senator did joe manchin -- senator joe manchin's office said this week that he did not know whether he would support the deal or not, but he would not vote to filibuster the deal, so that means that that is one vote that would not there -- not be there to get to 41. so it seems like 41 is unlikely. host: the senator from maryland announcing in a vote of the deal , would it mean more if he came out as a ranking member and came out on tuesday or monday and just said that he would not be supporting this deal? guest: you know, it might have, but this is essentially because of the difficulties that -- with secretary kerry and were reporting on the negotiations. does the state department feel of the hardest part on this deal has now passed? guest: i think the administration as a whole, in some ways, we feel that the hardest part has passed, at least in terms of the diplomacy and the domestic politics. really meansrubber the road on the deal in terms of whether the iranian will hear to its provisions. so in a certain sense you could argue that the hardest part is reall

it puts more pressure on senate democrats to join with ben carden, joe manchin and chuck schumer in voting with republicans. on the senate floor, we expect lawmakers are going to vote again to see if they can get to 60 votes on a procedural step to disapprove the iran nuclear deem. last thursday that fell short 58-to-42. most are expecting the same outcome tonight. some are calling on mcconnell to use the squad nuclear option and pass the disapproval measure with a simple majority. later this week the plan is he would call for a vote on this new measure pushing iran to recognize israel and to demand americans being held hostage are released. brett. >> just to be clear the chance that this is going to change the dynamic here and republicans would be able to block it is miniscule, right? this is really to get democrats on the record against these two things. >> absolutely correct. you saw the house taking a different approach, taking a three-step process last week. the senate is trying to get everybody on the record on this iran nuclear deal to go out and say to president obama, you see, a n

i was honored to work with senator manchin and have his support for the resolution i introduced condemning hamas' use of human shields during israel's action in gaza last summer, a disgusting terrorist tactic that was aided and abetted by hamas' iranian sponsors. democrats should take note that the ranking member on the foreign relations committee, the former ranking member on the foreign relations committee, and the democrat scheduled to be the next democratic leader, have all come out and valued national security above partisan loyalty. that ought reason to cause every other democratic member of this body to take a second assessment of their own decisions. i also want to mention senator chris coons of connecticut, who even though he plans, unfortunately, to vote in favor of this deal, maintains that it should go to a vote and not go into effect by default because the minority can block cloture through a filibuster. in these dark times, it is at least encouraging to know there are still a handful of democrats who, in the tradition of scoop jackson and j.f.k. and joe lieberman, are willing

the headline was joe manchin was against the deal, and now 43 minutes into the show, we have a new headline. >> that's right. it shows you how fluid this whole story has been, tamron. but it's important to keep this 41 number in perspective. 41 sitting democrats would potentially allow president obama not to have to cast the veto because those 41 could help in launching and killing the resolution by filibuster. but not all 41 of the yeses on the iran deal are people who would be guaranteed to filibuster this. so it is worth noting that you could have a senator here or there who might support the iran deal but who might not support a filibuster. there is still one remaining democrat left, maria cantwell of washington state, and she is a yes, giving democrats as much as 42 and maybe a little wiggle room to yield that filibuster. >> thank you very much, mark. >>> coming up, the pope makes a big move ahead of his trip to the united states. the church is simplifying procedures for marriage annullments, saying it would bring millions of divorced catholics back to the church. we'll dig into that s

senator ben cardin, senator bob ,enendez, and senator manchin and senator schumer. at what the top democrat of the foreign relations committee had to say yesterday. it puts iran in a position of enrichment of uranium that is dangerously close to being able to break out a nuclear weapon in compliance with the agreement. being legal, they can get to that point. at that point, they have already gotten sanctions relief, so they are in a much better financial situation to withstand pressures. we know they want to become a nuclear weapons state. they have tried in the past. it is well documented. we have no reason to believe they are going to change their intentions. if they want to become a nuclear weapons state and the make the calculation that we don't have a sanction way to stop them because sanctions take too long to really take effect, it would not be an effect of deterrent -- effective deterrent to erase the breakdown. here is the key point of concern to me. and i acknowledge that i don't know what is going to happen in the future. this is a close call. but i think

certainly things happen along the way that does the manchin end created consternation but in the love letting that divide us to create a scenario, we create a process where we will review it. because day conversation with the distinguished senator from maryland and i hope this week that is what continues. we all want to see that happen but i do think the american people deserve to go where senators and house members stand on the serious piece of foreign policy before us and i want to take everyone for their role to get it here. i will move on. first thank you senator reid and senator mcconnell for loving the debate to take place this week for i cannot think senator cardoon more for being a colleague who really works to figure out a way for the senate to play the appropriate role of foreign policy. nothing but outstanding to deal with them. a lot thing can for the way he has conducted himself. and without the iran nuclear agreement there is no role for congress. what i think it is confused american people that would prefer this to have been a treat, but the fact is under our form of go
