house thmajority leader. it s part of a trip that comes every two years from freshmen congressmen from apec. they have lobbied strongly against the deal. benjamin netanyahu will meet with them today. he has been one of the most o outspoken critics. benjamin netanyahu will have his chance to push against the most critical part of that deal which is congress, president obama trying to make sure he has the votes to get this through. some congressional delegation goes every other year to israel. but there is this news conference. do you know what they re going to discuss? that conference is scheduled for early tomorrow morning. we don t have a sense of what
they re going to talk about. they could very well avoid the iran deal and not get into the controversy and the politics of that. if they say something about the deal, it could give an indication whether benjamin netanyahu has swayed them against the deal. and president obama is now defending controversial remarks he made about the iran deal. his comments outraged both democrats and republicans when he spoke earlier this week at american university, linking republicans to hardliners in iran. fareed zacaria sat down with president obama. in your speech at american university, you made a comparison. you said hardliners were making common cause with republicans. what i said is absolutely true factually. the truth of the matter is
opportunity for benjamin netanyahu. he has been the most out spoken critic of this deal. pushing against it, lobbying against it. now he knows the emphasis on the deal how many democrats can he sway? 22 in israeli meeting with benjamin netanyahu today. if he can swing even a few of those votes to agree with him, to vote against the deal, this has to be viewed as a successful for netanyahu. you ve got relatively a large group. is the expectation that many of these democrats can be per persuaded, are likely to vote no on this deal? some of these are critical swing votes for benjamin netanyahu and for president obama. i don t know that there s necessarily an expectation that these 22 are any more or less
else who doesn t do things exactly the way we do. reporter: a plaque serves as a reminder of what happened here, trying to make a point this wasn t just about brown s death, but the rebirth of a civil rights movement. this legacy has affected the world in a good sense. it did make people motivated to speak up, to fight, to rally. reporter: it has also polarized this city. there are people who look at this case and say that it should not be worth a movement. other people saying you re not getting the point. that is still happening in this town, though residents are trying to work through that to make the city better. new this morning, house speaker john boehner slamming president obama for, in his view, failing to combat isis
speaker john boehner is slamming president obama for, in his view, failing to combat isis effectively. here s part of a statement from the house speaker. one year after authorizing the first air strikes against isil in iraq, president obama still doesn t have the overarching strategy that s needed to actually defeat these savage terrorists. after nearly 6,000 air strikes and billions of dollars, has it diminished the terror group in any major way? i wonder, do you think is boehner right? i don t believe he s right. although there are many people who are dissatisfied with the pace of the attacks against isis, let s analyze the facts. first of all, isis has gone from the strategic offensive into the strategic defensive. that s critical. they may still conduct small amounts of limited attacks.
