minister and the head of the opposition party in washington will increase tensions with the white house. in his speech before congress, netanyahu called the administration s negotiationwise iran a bad deal. 47 senate republicans seeming to agree with him in what was trurpted intrrpabilitied in that letter. the president sending a message to those in iran. now our diplomats and our scientists are engaged notions in the hopes of finding a solutions for our problems. my message to you, the people of iran, is that together we have to speak up for the future we seek. for more we are joined now be nbc s kristin wellker at the white house. reporter: good morning. there is no doubt that that friction between president obama and prime minister netanyahu is creating a complicated backdrop
and the united states. and certainly when you re looking at the iran deal. look, this administration this president, you know he wants something to hold up. a piece of paper to hold up as his legacy on foreign policy. mr. kerry and his predecessor, hillary clinton, had perhaps hoped it could be a peace deal between israelis and palestinians. that is clearly not going to happen anymore. so mr. obama is very much hoping that despite the reelection of mr. netanyahu, despite the complications that this means for his negotiations despite the acrimony with republicans he he can drive this through. this negotiation and bring it to the finish line. that s why he appealed directly to the people of iran in his message, the iranian new year to say this is a chance of a lifetime. i m not quite sure it actually makes a difference to the negotiations. he s trying to pitch the deal directly to the iranians. since you brought her up secretary clinton hasn t weighed
he hasn t run before. i think he s new. he s been a legitimate part of the policy discussion. whether people agree with him or not he s been a part of it. i don t think i don t want to say donald trump has been a joke. i don t think anybody republican or otherwise truly thinks donald trump is going to run for president. i don t think that. i think there are a lot of people who do think ben carson might and a lot of people hope he does. it doesn t necessarily think he s going to win. but they think he s going to bring something to the discussion to the bebait that s been missing. i think he s a serious guy. i don t think carson and trump are the same type of candidates. i agree with that. with carson and trump in the race, what does that do with people like jeb bush and scott walker? they don t want to be responding to things to a lesser extent trump i think he is joke at this point. it doesn t feel special anymore when he runs. it s like he came with the
century before a flake has fallen. has your opinion changed since then? no, i think if anything this pageant of pretend presidential ambitions of the last week proves my point, right? this is a thing for him, he pretends like he s going to run for president. what s interesting is every four years he has to go a little bit further in order for people to take him seriously. this time he s actually formed an exploratory committee, which is further than he s gone kpeft in 1999 which was a very brief thing. al i still would bet my entire year s salary that he will not actually be on a ballot in iowa come the caucuses in february of next year. but you know this does present a problem for the republican party. it s not just donald trump. it s the candidates that are running as celebrities, running with motives other than actually winning the presidency. they suck up a lot of oxygen and
the return of the war on women this week. they cite the deadlock over hidden antiabortion language in a human trafficking bill as evidence. as well as the continuing stalemate on loretta lynch s kmfrlation. going forward the fight for paid family league and a national minimum wage increase seem to be the new tougher for the republican vote. republicans argue congress has no place regulating the issues. they are best left behind a woman and a boss. saying that it isn t your fight, is that the same thing as trying to deny the existence of we re all together? back with me to discuss are our edwort with the daily signal and the daily beast and joining the panel right now, terry o neil president of the national organization for women. thanks all for being here.
