[laughter] 29 minutes long but it gets cooking around a 117. Im not going to screw around tonight as someone reminded me in the audience tonight [laughter] apparently if i understand it correctly, no ones interested in my [bleep] tonight. So lets just get to it. Ladies and gentlemen the 44th president of the united states. Please welcome back to the Program President barack obama. [crowd cheering] thank you. Jon you know, i am amazed and humble every time i come out here and get that ovation. Im just happy you were here to witness it. [laughter] what are you going to do. How are you .

What do you have left, about a year. You know, i cant believe that youre leaving before me. [laughter] in fact, im issuing a new executive order. That jon stewart cannot leave the show. [laughter] [applause] its being challenged in the courts. Jon yes. I have to say for me, this is a states right issue. This is not something that you should be. What are you going, you know, you are running out of time. Im not running. Jon but you dont have that much time to take away americans guns and declare marshall law and put hard working americans in fema camps. If youre going to do that, you better get started. Are you stealing, you know theres an ebb and flow to every administration, to every president. It appears that youre feeling it a little bit right now. Youve got this deal with iran worked out. Youve got your fast track authority. Are you feeling like seven years in whatever. I finally know what im doing. [laughter] jon im figuring this thing out, is that how youre. Theres no doubt that y
Hill where the House Foreign Affairs committee is about to hear from secretary of state john kerry, jack lew, and earnest muniz. Last week the three secretaries were grilled before a senate committee. Libby casey is live on capitol hill. Libby, good morning, last weeks hearing did get testy at least at times. Are we expecting the same today . Stephanie we certainly are. The House Republicans intend to go over their own set of questions, and well hear tough questions from democrats too. It wasnt just last weeks hearings where senators used words like you have been bamboozled and fleeced. The rhetoric and conversation continued throughout the week. We heard ted cruz speaking on the floor last week calling for an amendment, saying that iran must recognize israel before congress can sign off on this deal. That sort of thing wont happen and he got a lot of pushback even from some republicans over the weekend who accused him of using this issue to play president ial politics so we have seen
And one of the reasons they oppose this agreement, and i invite you to talk to the Intel Community about that is that they see themselves losing the cover of the Nuclear Umbrella that they had hoped to have for their that fair rows activities. Theres nothing here to prevent us from bushing back going forward. Were all free to Work Together to build the pushback against the destabilizing activities. But let me ask you a simple question, is iran empowered more destabilizing the region with a Nuclear Weapon or stripped of that ability with an International Agreement it has to live up to, and us coming in underneath with a whole set of other security arrangements and pushback . I think the answer is crystal cheer. You asked what happens with respect to year 15. Under the modified 3. 1 code, please focus on what happens. Theres not some sudden breakoff at the end of 15 years. They are under remarkable restraints specifically the comprehensive safeguards agreement they have to negotiate with
Open up to the world, including the u. S. And that was one of the platforms like you said. Iranians definitely dont want to be a second iraq. That is something that a lot of regular iranians were afraid of. But they are in general not antiamerican. They are definitely not antiamerican kind of life and this is something that the hard liners are trying to project. And they know it resinates all the way through, the u. S. Senate well it is the same here. Sort of the loudest voices take up the most air. All right. Stand by. We are standing by right now, because the Armed Services committee of the senate has taken a temporary recess. We are covering the Iran Nuclear Deal hearing, and there are several key cabinet members that are trying to sell the deal to congress. We earlier heard from ash carter who says the deal will keep iran from getting a nuclear bomb. On iran this new deal when implemented will place significant limitations on iran that will effectively cut off its pathways to the f
