TALKS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE IN WASHINGTON. IRANIAN OFFICIALS THREATENING TO END CEASEFIRE WITH UNITED STATES OVER HEZBOLLAH NOT BEING INCLUDED IN THE DEALS. SAID WAS NEVER PART OF THE DEAL TO BEGIN WITH.
VICE PRESIDENT SET TO LEAVE U.S. NEGOTIATING TEAM IN PAKISTAN TOMORROW FOR PEACE TALKS WITH IRANIAN LEADERSHIP. MEANWHILE, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, CLOSED FOR A 56TH DAY. HOUSE REPUBLICANS BLOCKING A DEMOCRATIC EFFORT TO LIMIT AMERICAN MILITARY ACTION IN IRAN. DURING A PRO FORMA SESSION YESTERDAY, HOUSE, HAKEEM JEFFRIES SAYS DEMOCRATS IN CONVERSATIONS WITH REPUBLICANS TO GET VOTES NEEDED TO PASS IRAN WAR POWERS RESOLUTION.
>> WE'RE IN ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH REPUBLICANS TO SECURE ADDITIONAL HANDFUL OF -- OF REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES WHICH IS ALL WE WILL NEED TO JOIN HOUSE DEMOCRATS IN STOPPING THIS RECKLESS WAR OF CHOICE. WE ARE PREPARED TO FORCE ANOTHER VOTE UPON OUR RETURN TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND FOR IT TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE ONLY NEED A HANDFUL OF REPUBLICANS, LIKE MIKE LAWLER, NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS OR OTHERS TO JOIN HOUSE DEMOCRATS SO WE CAN END THE MADNESS NOW.
CHERYL: WE REACHED OUT TO BOTH CONGRESSWOMAN MALLIOTAKIS, AND LAWLER. NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. FLORIDA SENATOR RICK SCOTT, MEMBERS RELATIONS ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE. GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> JEFFRIES IS AN IDIOT. A COUNTRY WANTS TO DEVELOP A NUCLEAR WEAPON TO KILL AMERICANS HAVE BEEN KILLING MEN'S. HE WANTS TO LIMIT PRESIDENT'S AUTHORITY? I WANT THIS PRESIDENT TO DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO PROTECT MY FAMILY, YOUR FAMILY, ALL OF US. SO JEFF REEVES IS A COMPLETE IDIOT ON THIS. NEVER PASS THE SENATE IF IT DOES PASS THE HOUSE.
>> I THOUGHT INTERESTING HE WAS BRINGING UP, SOME FELLOW NEW YORK LEADERS, WITH CONGRESSWOMAN MALLIOTAKIS AND CONGRESSMAN LAW HERE, TAKING UP MEASURE NEXT WEEK WHEN YOU RETURN, FROM RECESS, SO DEAD ON ARRIVAL?
>> YEAH. DEAD ON ARRIVAL. WHO WANTS IRAN TO HAVE A NUKE WEAPON, BALLISTIC MISSILES TO KILL AMERICANS? ONLY DEMOCRATS. THERE IS NOT A REPUBLICAN I KNOW THAT THINKS A SMART FOR A THIS COUNTRY TO ALLOW SOMEBODY THAT SAYS GOING TO KILL US, TO HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. SO PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING RIGHT THING. I THINK A CEASEFIRE ITSELF AN OPPORTUNITY. I HOPE OUT WORKS, I HOPE NEGOTIATIONS WORK, BUT THIS PRESIDENT HAS DONE RIGHT THING DEFENDING AMERICANS. WHAT WE ALL SHOULD BE DOING.
CHERYL: PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUING NEW THREATS TO NATO SAYING U.S. CAN WHERE YOUPS FROM FROM COUNTRIES NOT HELP IN CONFLICTING. MARK RUTTE.
>> EUROPEAN ALLIES SHIFTS DELAY FROM DECADES, OFF INFESTING, MILITARY PARTNERSHIP WITH UNITED STATES TO END COLD WAR IN FAVOR OF AN UNHEALTHY GULF DEPENDENCE. CONVINCED PEACE WAS PERMANENT AND DID NOT -- GIVEN INVESTMENT ESSENTIAL, AND DEFENSE BUDGETS SHRIVELED INTO IRRELEVANCE. NOTION THAT SECURITY WAS JUST IS A NEW NORMAL AND UNITED STATES WILL TAKE CARE OF ANY THREATS. EUROPEANS TO IMAGINE THAT POWER SOMETHING TO BE EMBARRASSED BY A RELIC OF A DECADES PAST. HUMAN KINDS HAVE YOU THE GROWN.
>> POLITICO REPORTP TRUMP SUGGESTED POSSIBLE REPRISALS OVER LACK OF SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE EAST DURING THE CLOSED-DOOR MEETING WITH TOP MILITARY ALLIANCE LEADER. YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> WELL, FIRST OFF, I MEAN, EUROPE WOULD BE SPEAKING GERMAN IF IT WASN'T FOR AMERICAN SERVICEMEMBERS, AND WHAT WE DID TO SAVE BUTTS IN SECOND WORLD WAR. NOT TO SUPPORT WHAT WE ARE DOING IN TO IRAN MAKE THEM SAFER AND AMERICANS SAFER IS JUST FOOLISH. SO NATO IS GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE. EITHER THEY ARE GOING TO STEP UP AND BE A PARTNER, AND BE AN ALLY, OR WHY ARE WE INVOLVED? IT? DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. THEM NOT SUPPORTING WHAT WE'RE DOING IN IRAN, NOT LETTING US USE MILITARY BASES. WE BUILT PROBABLY MOST OF THAT STUFF CLEARLY AMERICAN ZBLOORZ ALL DEFENSE OF EUROPE OVER THE YEARS, SO SOMETHING IS GOING TO CHANGE.
CHERYL: CERTAINLY, THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT HE IS VERY UNHAPPY WITH NATO. I THINK A LOT OF THAT CAME OUT THIS WEEK, WHEN IN WASHINGTON. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT DID DHS WITH YOU THE SHUTDOWN. SO SENATE REPUBLICAN WHIP JOHN BARRASSO, AND LINDSEY GRAHAM SET TO MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT TODAY TO DISCUSS FUNDING, IMMIGRATION O ENFORCEMENT TO END SHUTDOWN. DHS GOING TO BE IN RECORD RECORD HISTORY FIRST HALF OF FISCAL YEAR, 11 MONTHS, THE BORDER SIR THOUGHTS ON THIS IN PARTICULAR WHAT DO YOU EXPECT, WILL COME OUT OF THIS MEETING TODAY? WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND SENATORS BARRASSO AND GRAHAM.
>> NUMBER ONE WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE FUND ALL, THEIR PROGRAMS NOT FUND DHS IN JANUARY. THAT WAS A MISTAKE. WHAT WE KNOW IS DEMOCRATS DON'T THE CARE ABOUT HOMELAND SECURITY, THE SAFETY OF AMERICANS. SO WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS. EITHER GOING TO DO IT THROUGH RECONCILIATION, ONLY TAKES REPUBLICAN VOTES OUGHT TO DO IT FOR 10 YEARS SO THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN OR COME TO SENSES, GET RID OF FLIFB, START PASSING THINGS ON MAJORITY VOTE. WHAT WE KNOW DEMOCRATS WANT TO DESTROY TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THE TRUMP ECONOMY, EVERYTHING TRUMP IS DOING, THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE A PARTNER. THEY DON'T CARRY ABOUT AMERICANS ANYMORE. TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYMPTON. WE HAVE TO GET THE TRUMP AGENDA ACCOMPLISHED.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE IT CLEAR HE WANTS FILIBUSTER GONE.
>> I AGREE WITH HIM. I MEAN THIS IS LOOK WE HAVE TO CHANGE IT. LAST YEAR OVER NOMINATIONS THEY WOULDN'T LET TRUMP NOMINATION GOES THROUGH. WE GOT TO HAVE TO COME TO SENSES. THEY THE DEMOCRATS DON'T WANT TRUMP TO HAVE ANY SUCCESS. DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICAN CITIZENS. THIS PRESIDENT, SAVING REPUBLICANS' LIVES, DEMOCRAT LIVES, THE LIVES WITH ACTIONS. WE NEED TO SUPPORT HIM.
CHERYL: I WANT TO ASK ABOUT RECONCILIATION PROCESS. WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL ECONOMIC DIRECTOR KEVIN HASSETT WITH, MARIA, YESTERDAY WOULD LIKE I REALLYING BY JUNE HE EXPECTS IN A TO BE, ON THE DESK BY JOAN, FOR THE PRESIDENT. WE HAD CONGRESSMAN ON IN THE PROGRAM BELIEVES TWO RECONCILIATION BILLS ONE SPRING, ONE IN FALL. THE -- RUBBER SEEM MEETING ROAD BETWEEN SPEAKER JOHNSON, SENATOR THUNE. WHEN DO YOU THINK PROCESS GOES WHO IS GOING TO BE TAKING THE LEAD HERE? IS IT GOING TO BE SENATOR IS IT THE HOUSE?
>> WELL, WE GOT TO WORK TOGETHER. WE'VE GOT TO GETTING SO BOTH CAN PASS. SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM TAKING THE LEAD. THE BUDGET COMMITTEE I AM ON. HE IS GOING TO TAKE LEAD. WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS DONE, QUICKLY. SHOULDN'T TAKE UNTIL JUNE TO GET DONE. IF WE WORKED EVERY DAY COULD GET THIS DONE QUICKER. NEED TO DO THAT. HOMELAND SECURITY NEEDS TO BE FUND. THANK GOD THE PRESIDENT IS -- PAYING RIGHT NOW. COME TO SENSES. DEMOCRATS DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME REASON TO FIGHT OVER. THEY THINK GOING TO HELP IN NOVEMBER. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU SAY I HATE AMERICA. I HATED PUBLIC SAFETY VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS. THAT IS EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE. SO WE NEED TO GET BACK TO D.C. WORK EVERY DAY UNTIL THE RECONCILIATION IS DONE.
CHERYL: YOU THINK IT COULD BE BEFORE JUNE?
>> IT SHOULD. YEAH. THERE IS NO REASON IT CAN'T JUST. IT IS A WE KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO. WE GOT TO FUND ALL HOMELAND SECURITY, FOR 10 YEARS. DON'T HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. DO IT EVERY DAY.
