republican mike mccaul out of texas said i don't think we can play political games with support for our allies because if they fail, we fail. do you share that concern, that it wasn't included in the early versions of what was proposed? >> i'm very concerned and ild' tell you why. we have seen over the last few months that congress is not exactly operating at its best, and things have been delayed, inefficient, not getting done, and i'm very concerned that, if we pass this continuing resolution and it does not attach supplemental funding for israel humanitarian aid and ukraine, we'll never get it done. to add to that the fact that we're heading into the holidays, and congress is notorious for not being happy about sticking around on thanksgiving day. you can imagine. so we really need to get this done all at once. i would completely agree with chairman mccaul, i have the up most respect for him. i think he's absolutely right. we cannot be playing politics at this point. >> for those wondering about the lattered approach, the first bill extends funding until january, military constructio

we mike mccaul talk this weekend about considerations that israeli government is making to at least agree to part of what hamas is saying it wants for the hostages back. what do we know this morning? >> i think it's still a moving target. meaning, we are everyday, day, we are get to go the point of almost, almost, almost, and then we're not there. and this is -- this has been the case, i think, for something like two weeks. there were several ideas on the table, several proposals that were discussed. but any time things got to the decision point, either israel or hamas backed off. so i think again there are discussions. there are serious discussions. but at least from everything i know, we are not there yet. >> what causes either side or both sides to back off? >> i think it's the sort of relation between the number of hostages that hamas will release and the number of days that israel will agree to pause its military operation. and that's where the negotiations are. each side is trying -- israel is trying to get more hostages for less days and hamas is trying to release less hostages for

mccaul he will tell you that taiwan has ordered scads of all types of defensive weapons and things fromn a number of directions. so weaponry would be different than israel and ukraine. there is awareness we aren't able to provide them what they're asking for. >> good thing about this is that the public actually does get it. in the trump years we really had auto four years of russia hysteria on the part of many in the media and in the democratic party a lot of people were saying look, russia is a bad actor. just no doubt about that. but, our biggest strategic adversary here is china and it's going to stay that way for a good while. one other interesting thing, it did show a lot more public support for continuing u.s. aid to ukraine than we have seen in some other polls. >> shannon: there has been some talking of that in some polls. i want to play something from xi jinping, we shouldn't be viewing them as a threat. this was at the apec summit. >> it is wrong to view china, which is committed to peaceful development as a threat and thus play a zero sum game against it. china never bets aga

we talked about mike mccaul who time and again says you look what tuberville is doing and it's an absolutey. you talk about the freedom caucus. what the freedom caucus is supposed to do is what we tried to do when i was in something that was sort of a precursor to it. i talked to mark meadows about it. i said stop doing all this crazy stuff. focus on the mundane. focus on the budget. how can you drive the national debt down? we balanced the budget four years in a row. that didn't just happen. it was a constant fight. it was a battle every day. it was a battle in subcommittee markups. it was a battle in committee markups. it was a battle getting a rule to the floor. i'm saying this because it sounds laborious because it is laborious because it's hard work. but we balanced the budget four years in a row. hasn't been done in a century. these freedom caucus people, tried talking to them. they just gesture. then they've got a guy they're all supporting who talks about vermin, who uses fascist language to win votes. i left the party a long time ago. i'll end here. mika and rev are right. i talk

of this bipartisan resolution i helped introduce with the house foreign affairs committee chairman mike mccaul and representative schneider and others to make clear that the united states will never tolerate iran acquire agnew clear weapon. iran is the principal source of instability in the region. it is a major threat to our interests and remains the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. supporting terrorist groups like hamas in their brutal quest to destroy our ally israel. on october, we witnessed the gruesome result of iran's support for hamas. this is the kind of terror that iran facilitates. an armed iran with a nuclear weapon would represent an even greater, entirely unacceptable threat to israel and the world. for the past few year, iran has flagrantly violated the terms of the nuclear deal, blown past restrictions, continued to enrich uranium to dangerous level, bringing it close than ever to being able to produce nuclear weapons. that is why this resolution emphasizes that it is u.s. policy to prevent a nuclear armed iran. as president biden himself has made clear. and to supp
