we'll ask gop senator lindsey graham about prospects for compromise. then, president biden warns russian leader vladimir putin. >> certain critical infrastructure should be off limits to attack, period. chris: as north korea prepares for talks for confrontation with the u.s. we'll ask white house national security advisor, jake sullivan, where joe biden's foreign policy goes from here. plus, the supreme court on two major rulings and surprising unity on obamacare and religious liberty. we'll ask our sunday panel about more big decisions to come and liberal pressure on justice briar to step down. and -- >> we love you guys. chris: our power player of the week, this father's day former nfl star greg olson on his son's life-saving heart transplant. all right now on fox news sunday. hello again and happy father's day from fox news in washington. if president biden thought dealing with vladimir putin last week was tough, he faces a whole new set of challenges now, trying to push his domestic agenda through congress. with bipartisanship in short supply and d

take a look at republican senator lindsey graham, here he is. >> the biden five-point plan will not address the rise in murder and vicious assaults in this country. we have a lack of prosecution and we've declared war on the police and that is backfiring on those who have done it. chris: dozen tore graham have a point -- does senator graham have a point there? >> absolutely not. in fact, senator graham doesn't have a clue. let's talk about who defunded the police. when we were in congress trying to pass a rescue plan -- not the rescue plan, but emergency relief plan for cities that were cash strapped and laying off police and firefighters it was the republicans who objected to it. they didn't get funding until the american rescue plan which our plan allows state and local governments to replenish their police departments and do other things that are needed. republicans are good at staying on talking points on who said defund the police, but the truth is they defunded the police. we funded crime intervention and

in a moment, we'll talk about the disarray in congress with republican senator lindsey graham who ision dollar come he pro mice on infrastructure. -- come he pro mice on -- compr. first let's check in with rich edson from delaware. >> reporter: when president biden returns to washington he will resume negotiations and attempt to reach an agreement with republicans, but maybe just with his own party. a bipartisan group of senators is working to secure a nearly $1 trillion infrastructure plan, the sticking point, how to finance it. republicans have pushed spending unused covid relief funds. democrats have generally called for tax increases on wealthier americans and corporations. >> my hope is that he will be willing to work with us on a different kind of package that doesn't have taxes but does deal with these core infrastructure challenges we have in the country. >> reporter: democratic senator joe manchin says the bipartisan negotiators will release their framework wednesday at the late latest. some have attacked it as too modest and demanded democrats abandon republicans. >> we nee

and then very importantly, i talked to senator lindsey graham last night, now remember lindsey grahamis what they worked through all this week to conclude that framework and get -- dot the i's and most of the t's. and yesterday lindsey graham was positive when he saw the agreement. he was sticking with that group of 11 republicans. after biden's comments, he pulled out. and last night i talked to him and he said you'd have to be an idiot, a little more colorful than that is what he said, to support the bipartisan agreement if it's contingent on the reconciliation bill. so that is going to be a big problem, the "wall street journal" editorial page has come out against this now saying that biden double crossed republicans. and we haven't heard from some of the other republicans that weren't at the white house yesterday like lindsey graham, initially endorsed this deal and what those five other republicans say will be very, very important because the five at the white house and the five that haven't spoken up, that will get you ten republicans if that number falls below ten, the deal is

i'm disappointed in lindsey graham, a sitting u.s. senator should be able to get his family a job. it trump drain the swamp that much, at a pharmaceutical company, may be a defense contractor, can get someone in the graham family a gig or something? my goodness, you go to any beach community and small business owners will come up to you and tell you, we can't find workers for the summer. it's hospitality and its restaurants and i told him the same thing, you're blocking my son. but it's true and joe biden's hurting his own recovery and it's the $300 bonus, you put that out there and it keeps people on the couch. take it away and it forces off the couch. he doesn't get the math, no one gets the math in washington, double the balance sheet, they spend $5 trillion in a year and say we are worried about inflation, inflation is here. i went to fill up my gas tank the other day and the guy pumping the gas had a rolex, dana, they are saying, the colonial pipeline gas price or it was temporary. no, $3 a gallon, it's going to $3.50, as greg said, you've got a weak dollar that's going to mak

host: the president is getting pushback from republicans, including lindsey graham who says the pentagon budget needs to be increased. how is the administration dealing with that? guest: he has not only getting pushback from republicans, he is getting pushback from democrats. this issue with defense spending is one that is difficult for the biden administration to navigate. he is getting criticism from republicans who believe that flat funding the military is untenable. it is not something that is even an option. there are some democrats who feel the same way. there district has defense interests and that is something that she really believes in, that the pentagon needs an adequate funding. you have democrats who are also saying that even the numbers proposed are too high. essentially they believe that the pentagon is bloated, it needs to undergo major financial audit, it could substantially tolerate billions of dollars less. it would be interesting to see how democrats take this budget and ultimately decide to fulfill that. i spoke to chairman john yarmuth the other day, he told reporte

democratic chairman of the senate foreign relations committee meantime along with republican lindsey graham says there is a way for president biden to make a deal with iran that will satisfactory a lot of different groups. senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot reports tonight from ron done. iran is not happy about what it considers israeli interference. >> smoke and fire near tehran, a massive oil refinery up in flames. iranian firefighters only leaked today getting it under control. this, after another in iran's biggest naval ship sunk the vessel in the gulf of imman. injuries in both incidents some suspicions that israel, which has been targeting iran with a variety of attacks might have had a role. after an explosion at the natanz atlanta april which iran did blame on israel, there's a new report of a drop in iran's production of nuclear fuel. >> i think israel is fighting a real guard action to delay iran's nuclear efforts as much as possible. >> this, as talks continue in vienna to revive the nuclear deal. the trump administration withdrew in 2018. president biden is looking

lindsey graham expected to meet with other people, other politicians during his visit.uld seem likely that would include nef tally bennett. but at the moment it's unclear if he'll make it as public as he has with the current prime minister. >> netanyahu could say i have trump's guy by my side. there's a danish broadcaster that published a story that said that danish intelligence helped the united states when the u.s. was engaged in phone tapping, listening to the phone calls of european leaders like angela merkel and others which caused such an issue at the end of the obama administration. now european leaders are saying, hey, what went on here then? what has the reaction been? >> yeah. i think you got to look at it in this context as well that what was okay under obama post trump many european leaders have a different view of the united states or one that's changed, been modified. so what you're hearing now from those leaders, emmanuel macron of france, the german chancellor angela merkel and also from danish politicians is this is unacceptable. and allies should not s

lindsey graham being lindsey graham says no deal by extortion. where do we stand now? senator portman puts out a statement after biden's statements. where do we stand on the rest of them? >> that's a good question. the 11 republicans. the five snegotiated the agreement. they held their own phone call and kind of talking among themselves on friday morning where they were really irritated and frustrated with how far the president had gone in his veto thread. i find it interesting where he said he literally would not sign something which is a veto threat. i am shire they are happy with how the president clarified its comments. some people on the call said let's focus on manchin and sinema. those two moderate democrats really invested in this deal and concept of bipartisanship and try to convince them this bipartisanship deal matters. those two senators really matter here. that's why it was significant that president biden reached out to kyrsten sinema personally and the white house made a show of putting out a detailed statement. the clean up duty will continue in wiscons

i respect her for that and i see the poll on the other side that we are going to lose votes, lindsey graham or kevin mccarthy. and that is a similar thing that confronts them. we know what's in their hearts and their bones. but in order to defeat john adams, they have to create this party which has a southern base because they are politicians and we are going to lie in it, and that is our part, it requires some compromises, okay, so they get more on slavery, they know that it's wrong but in order to keep their political machine operative, because of increasingly -- and this is a story that is not told by biographers in general. but he is getting worse over time, he's like okay, let's send slaves to the west. like spreading the virus, which is the opposite of what jefferson and madison said early on, and that is what is eventually going to be part of the civil war. so washington gets better as time goes on and he realizes it is wrong and in his last will and testament he provides more context, franklin gets better as time goes on and. >> till that last story of franklin. because it's so funn

yesterday, lindsey graham saying to the president, we can meet on a $1 trillion deal why not get thate and take it from there? >> although everyone agrees we have a problem, nothing has been passed up to this point. the white house has initially set expectations for something bigger that's a problem democrats in congress are worried if they vote for the infrastructure plan, it will be harder to get votes for another plan that takes care of the other president's priorities after it of course, republicans are worried that if they do vote for this plan, there will be the second plan with health care priorities and other things. all of these agendas operating against each other frankly, at this point, there are not votes for any one plan will i be shocked if nothing happens? the chances of that happening rant zero. >> i have to say lindsey graham saying he is able to necessity dp negotiate with the president and meet him halfway why can't they come together with common ground and go forward with that? the economy could use the boost. >> republicans have moved a lot to the $1 trillion bill

lindsey graham will be here and he will have a reaction. later, governor ron desantis of florida will tell us what he's doing about critical race and a lot more. you don't want to miss it as we continue. thanks for being here. it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute? but what have you been doing for the last two hours? ...delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. >> sean: at the lab leak theory that the media mob lied about during the term presidency that's gaining more and more credibility, even liberal comic jon stewart delivered as stephen colbert reality check last night on cbs. actually a funny moment for once. >> the disease is the same name as the lab. that's just a little too weird, don't you think? and in the house, cost those scientists, so wait a minute, work at the

there was a reaction, carolina senator lindsey graham.'t know if i'm allowed to talk about an off the record conversation we had but this is exactly what you predicted to me what happened. >> number one, the iranians are playing president biden like a fiddle. the ayatollah is a religious. hitler won a master race, and they are trying to drive us out of syria and iraq so they can dominate syria, iraq and iran this year. they are trying to build a weapon to hold the world hostage and one day destroy the state of israel. they are on the path to accomplish all of that unless they make a correction now. i've never been more worried than i am right now about a war between iran and israel. >> sean: i think the most underreportedra story was the chinese and that the russians are now giving weapons to the iranians so they can fight the proxy war and the rest the middle east. am i the only person on national tv that seems to notice that that's a big problem? >> you are the only one that talks about a lot of things. number one the russians and chine

senator lindsey graham live from israel.ho has our fox weather forecast outside. janice: it is a beautiful day in new york city. we had a wet, cold weekend. i think one of the coldest memorial day weekends on record. let's take a look at the temperatures across the country. 50's and 60's for the northeast. down towards the mid-atlantic. denver 46. heat is going to start to build across the west. we are going to flirt with record highs for portions of washington state and oregon in towards idaho which is quite rare for this time of year. showers, thu and flash flooding. that's going to be a concern for texas in towards louisiana, oklahoma, and arkansas we have an area of low pressure all this moisture working its way in from the gulf of mexico in towards the mississippi valley and the ohio valley tomorrow and there is your forecast rainfall. flash flooding concerns especially for texas where we have flash flood watches and warnings in effect and as i said. we're going to see really warm temperatures across the west for the no

south carolina senator lindsey graham.ator come i'm not sure if i'm allowed to talk about and off the record conversation we had to, but this is exactly what you predicted to me would happen. >> yeah, so here is the game plan. number one the iranians are playing president biden like a fiddle. the ayatollah, sean a religious. hitler wanted a master rate appear the ayatollah once a master religion. they are trying to drive us out of syria and iraq to dominate syria, iraq, iran. they are trying to build a weapon to hold the world hostage and one day destroy the state of israel. they are on the path to accomplish all of that unless we make a correction now. i've never been more worried than i am right now about a war between iran and israel. >> sean: i think the biggest and most underreported story was the trainees, the russians are now giving weapons to the iranian so they can fight their proxy war and the rest of the middle east. i don't know, am i the only person on national tv that seems to notice that is a big problem? >>

. >> and lindsey graham expressed optimism that there are bipartisan deals to be had. >> president bidenpartisanship, i think we're close on police reform. there's a deal to be had on an infrastructure package around $1 >> joining us now to discuss this is cnn's chief political analyst gloria borger. gloria, it changes from day to day. are they close on infrastructure, or are they far apart? >> i think it depends. it really depends on what day it is and who they are speaking with. there are some republicans who say that the president seems more willing to negotiate himself than some people who work for him or other democrats, for example, like bernie sanders. the more progressive wing of the party doesn't want to. i mean what, we can say without a doubt is that they are really at an infliction point here because what the president decides to do on infrastructure is going to affect a lot of other things. can he get a compromise on police reform, for example? would republicans then, if they got some kind of a deal on infrastructure, would they be more willing to work on other issues? you k

it was -- here is south florida -- south carolina senator lindsey graham. you have been saying it. senator kennedy has been saying it and senator rand paul has been saying it and i credit all of you. let's start with the basics. why -- please tell me. in the name of jesus in heaven. why would we give china and their wuhan lab of virology one single solitary penny? let's start there. >> number one, it seems to me china has a lot of money. they can pay for their own research. the most stunning thing out of your monologue to me was the idea that dr. fauci does not believe that it is in china's interest to lie about the leak in their lab. the person from nbc asking, isn't it in their interest to logic of the world and not admit it came from the point lead because it would make them look terrible? if you can't figure that out, you got a real problem on your hands. candor and openness and printed do not go in the same sentence when it comes to china. call dr. fauci before the senate and the house? allowed the people in the state the department who are silenced about pushing the lab leak

mike: senator lindsey graham made this appeal to president biden and i will play the clip and ask youspond. >> you have a republican party that's willing to meet you in the middle for a trillion dollars of infrastructure that can fundamentally change the way america does business, roads, ports and bridges and accelerate electrical vehicles. you have to determine how kind of president you are and what kind of presidency you want? >> senator graham has zero credibility lecturing this president on meeting in the middle. the house democrats have passed infrastructure bills that will lay the work that supports an economy that will work for everybody. there's a healthy debate within the democratic party and healthy debate between democrats and republicans on the nature of the policy and how the pay for it but we will not let them down run the clock. we will pass an infrastructure bill and it will command the support of american people in both parties. mike: while considering the slim majority that you have in the house and the 50/50 you will need republican buy-in, right? >> well, as you sa

republican senator lindsey graham appearing in jerusalem this week doubling down on that promise. $1 billion request from israel could face opposition from some progressive democrats who have argued against providing israel with additional aid. >> i am not concerned about a deterioration of our relationship. i'm a republican and came here with a message. even though some democrats are saying things very disturbing to me i do believe president biden and the majority of the democratic party will be in israel's camp. >> harris: chad pergram live with the news on capitol hill. chad. >> good morning. lawmakers want to restock israel's iron dome, defense system backed by the u.s. to help israel fend off hamas rocket attacks. it depleted much of their reserves now. some people question u.s. commitment to israel. >> palestinians aren't going anywhere no matter how much money you send to israel's apartheid government. >> there was a bipartisan group encouraging the pentagon to give -- >> those who are squeaky the end to get more attention. so i think that's not actually representative of w

here with reaction south carolina senator lindsey graham.ator, let me start first witt the border. i will be down at the borderto next week on wednesday with president trump, with governor abbott. i understand there's a chance you may be going as well. we are doing a town hall while we are down there. it's the number one issue. we are now headed for two and a half million people illegally coming into the country, now they are being transported to every state in the country and people not have to pay for food and clothing and housing and education. how do we deal with this? >> number one, the biden-harris administration is incompetent and foolish when it comes to managing illegal immigration. they are literally telling people that we sent to mexico because they didn't show up fory their asylum hearing, hey, you can come back and start over again. the biden administration supports eliminating cash bail basically letting everybody out. look at what has happened in new york, the cops arrest a guy on monday morning, they are out monday afternoon.

want to go to old tried and true pro, this is lindsey graham tonight on the subject of biden and russia. this is how you gaslight. >> i think we're in retreat on all fronts. i think the russians are just pushing everybody around in the region. >> rick, need i remind you there were russians at the republican convention in cleveland. russians involved in our election, apparently russians involved in our pipelines as we speak. what is this an example of? >> you know, it's funny, brian, in my reading today about biden and putin, i did come across a quote from lindsey graham saying who the heck cares about russia, it has an economy the size of italy. well, there we go. it's just -- it's just kind of insane that republicans are somehow implying that biden is weak on putin and weak on russia following a american president that kowtowed to the leader of russia. thing that i think putin is fine with, he's used to american presidents upbraiding him and challenging him. he wasn't used to american presidents praising and bowing down to him. i think that president biden is striking the right mixture

you saw that with lindsey graham, a plan that he called extortion.ent's statement helped calm the waters. see therrio two, the democratic consensus unravels. we heard how that's possible from congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. however, i sense there is an attempt to not make the white house mad. i mean i thought that was interesting there. and then, scenario three is something, we call it the great unknown. the fact is these are fragile majorities, okay, and anything can happen and suddenly the majorities can change. we have very narrow majorities in the house and senate. andrea mitchell, where does this deal stand? >> it is in such a fraught place, just teetering in the balance. you heard from senator cassidy. they want a lot of what's good in it. they say mitch mcconnell might want it. i don't know about that. >> he wants a new bridge between northern kentucky and cincinnati. he wants that. >> but he does not want a biden victory, that's very clear, and this would be a bind victory. people want infrastructure, but i have never in my experience

and i see the type are going to lose a vote if you lindsey graham or kevin mccarthy. as a thing that confronts madison and jefferson. they know something they note in the heart they know in their bones. in order to defeat john and his main criticism was john adams they had to create a party. and because they are politicians thus the political bed we made and we are going to lie in it. our friend jack, utility better than anyone else, you say who on slavery madison disappoints. it add to that is getting worse over time. it's actually at the end of his life says let's he gets better as time goes on. the last of chapter is powerful. >> will not last before get the questions. it is so funny, it is a great story. >> last seen to kill them all off. i give you the death scene. i love them but they didn't die. and for both washington and franklin the idea of rosebud on their dying breath basically emancipation abolition we should slavery. washington is a quiet guy he does not make a big scene aboutve it. he does it as a business person, plantation owner, many emancipation pro

senator lindsey graham joins me now from south carolina. thanks for being here today. >> thank you. >> martha: this is the message that the president has put out. he said we want to make it clear that the united states has our allies are one and then he said that the g-7 is on the move. what is your interpretation of that? >> well, you have to convince the russians that we're on the move, convince the chinese we're on the move. i think we're in retreat on all fronts. the border is in chaos as you talked about. i think the russians are just pushing everybody around in the region. i think this obsession with the iranian nuclear agreement will turn the mideast in the wrong direction. so i'm not impressed with his statements, nor his deeds. >> martha: this word from john sullivan, the ambassador, the reporting around him, he was indicating according to this article that putin has not changed his stripes despite efforts by the current administration and its predecessor to curb his maligned behaviors with sticks like sanctions and in-person engag

republicans are turned off by, one moderate democrat raising questions about, right, and senator lindsey grahamrter: this is a very fragile coalition and going to be difficult for this coalition to stay intact and lindsey graham is one of the next round of republicans saying they were going to support this bipartisan bill but things are tenuous on capitol hill for two reasons. you have to watch the republicans and you have to watch the democrats. let's start with the democrats, as you mentioned, it's going to be very difficult to keep the moderates on board as well as the progressives, that contingency that you talked about, combining this massive reconciliation partisan multi-trillion-dollar bill, tieing it to the bipartisan package is what is expected to keep the progressives tethered to the rest of the party, to move this forward. now, the moderates, moderate democrats, they want this bipartisan win and then they're willing to perhaps support this other massive proposal, but that contingency is also what is infuriating some republicans. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell went to the sena

joining me right now republican senator from south carolina senator lindsey graham. senator, have you seen a lot of these. you have been at a lot of them. how did it go. >> i thought it was a disaster to be honest with you. my take away is that biden has no idea who putin is. he was asked on three different occasions about what he said to putin regarding election interference. he told putin that if you are seen as interfering in our election, it will hurt your credibility and people in the world will have a bad opinion of you. do you know what president biden? putin could give a damn about what people think about him. they -- he wants people to believe if you don't do what i say or you screw with me, i will screw with your election. they ask about navalny dissident in jail. biden's response was if this guy dies on your watch, it will hurt your standing in the world and hurt your credibility. >> brian: crazy. >> do you know what? do you know what? putin is complimented when you call him a killer. how do you stay in power for 20 years in russia? the douma, which is the

but on fox news sunday, south carolina senator lindsey graham attack the democrats, bill. they're trying to fix a problem. most republicans have different view of. >> even west virginia democratic senator joe mansion has some problems with the bill. he's proposed his own compromise. mentions bill would require voter id, republican proposition and collection day a holiday and idea that democrats applaud. but republicans like ohio senator rob portman told nbc's meet the press. congress should stay out of state election laws unfortunately, what he does is what the larger bill as one does, which is it casey election system in this country and federal licenses. portman says republicans will not support mansions version. the state should control their elections. the senate could start debate on the voting rights bill on tuesday, basil john news nation, washington. >> i'm gayle ong. coming up next, we'll take a look at how things went as people celebrated father's day >> today is not only the first day of summer and father's day. it's also the first weekend since california relax

yamiche: talk about what you 're reporting -- your porting tells us where lindsey graham stands. -- what you hearing? eva: mitch mcconnell immediately pushed back against this. he does not like the dual track. he feels republicans are getting worked. he has the power to make or break this. republicans have historically fallen in li when mcconnell speaks. we will have to see how it goes. lots of political calculations. we know mcconnell h spent the last several months talking about the filibuster and maintaining it. what better way to preserve that senate rule and not put more pressure on moderate democrats than to show the senate can work together in a bipartisan fashion? so he has to ultimately decide what he wants to do. if he does blow up this infrastructure deal, more pressure will be on moderate democrats to eliminate the filibuster. yamiche: mike, we call you the den whisper. president biden, where does he stand this? how is the white house going to try and massage all of thiand get this done? mike: let's think about the last two weeks for president biden. this is everything he has

south carolina senator lindsey graham pushed back against the voting rights bill. >> calling it unnecessary to kind of fix a problem. most republicans have a different view of this week. the senate should take up a democratic voting bill which expands ballot access in tightens controls on campaign spending that we're trying to do is preserve democracy on cnn's state of the union. vermont senator bernie sanders said congress needs to stop republican efforts in the states which democrats say will prevent minorities from voting taking away the right of people to participate in american democracy is unacceptable and the congress must address that in any and every way west virginia democratic senator joe manchin has some problems with the bill. he's proposed his own compromise, which would require voter republican proposition and make election day. a holiday and idea the democrats applaud. but republicans like ohio senator rob portman told nbc's meet the press. congress should stay out of state election laws. unfortunately, what he does is what the larger bill as one does, which is it? >> casey

senator lindsey graham is one of 11 republican senators, who along with ten democratic senators, is workinga plan for $1 trillion in spending. >> i think the dference between this negotiation and the earlier negotiation is that we're willing to add more new money to infrastructure in this package, and i am hopeful that the white house and joe biden's team stay involved we can get >> sreenivasan: how that compromise bill is funded and whether it's large enough is a point of contention for many in the democratic caucus, including budget chairman bernie sanders. >> the bipartisan proposal provides spendinin some very important areas: roads, bridges, water systems, and that's the-- that's good. the amount of money that they are proposing is about one quarter of what the president talked about in terms of new money. that's not adequate. >> sreenivasan: torrential rain from what is now tropical depression claudette is being blamed for a highway accident in alabama yesterday that killed ten people, nine of them children. local officials said a 15-vehicle crash on interstate 65 northeast of montgom

who 10 lindsey graham said with nato flags put a nater st. noose around his neck. do you think that there's any concession that natal the us could make that would convince rush that they don't have a whole started gender against moscow? well, number one, fortunately, lindsey brown will not be in geneva. number 2, i think that it's not a matter of concessions, and probably they will not soon be any agreement on the nature of nato. russia has some view on this. the u. s. has its hue of nato as a be so alliance. russia doesn't think so. so what i think can be done is to reach agreement about the escalation of military activities. no, right now there's a lot of things happening very close to the line of contact between russia and major military exercises, overflights, ships, incidents. so there's been some incidence. there may be more so i think that agreement to de escalate military activities to perhaps hold them in areas that are not closely why in a context would be useful whether this could be discussed to achieve that the summit. i don't know, but i do know that

what would satisfy lindsey graham? what would satisfy mitch mcconnell?fferent idea of the problem. republicans think that the problem is too many people are voting. that is not the problem that we're facing. >> right. >> right. or as one viewer who heard me say that said, no, actually, republicans are, to their minds are fixing a problem. the problem is -- they think too many people are voting. you are a great strategies so i'm -- hear me out on this, it seemed to me when manchin put out his comprise that no one saw coming and the stuff that he had in it and then stacy abrams coming out and say, hey, i'm for it. and before democrats had a chance to react to stacy abrams, mitch mcconnell comes out and says, nope, we're not for it because it's the stacy abrams bill now. now democrats are circling the wagons. i just wonder is senator manchin crazy like a fox? did he actually set up the republicans to show they're not interested in a bipartisan deal as a means of making it easier for democrats to reform the filibuster and do it in a way allowing him to sign

now, lindsey graham has been in israel over the last 48 hours. he himself is a senior republican and he believes that there will be no problem getting this $1000000000.00 to congress. he said it will go through, but that's not exactly clear that it will because there are people in the democratic party who put pressure on joe biden. him also put pressure on the house and the senate to perhaps reconsider this. they are worried that what they are doing is not making israel safer, but actually laying the foundations for them to be much more aggressive in the area, especially with palestinians. dental, also lying during the meeting. we are told what exactly israel is doing to make sure that there is calm and gaza. that is something that the americans will be very keen to hear. but it's by no means guaranteed that this will get through congress very easily. you remember that during the war and guys a bernie sanders said that he was going to blog an arm sale to israel because he was concerned about to in the end. he went through that objection because t

it's still jack going for a couple of days before the c spy was actually put in place. lindsey graham, who is a senior republican, i was actually in israel on tuesday and he said, this is going to fly through congress. there's not going to be a problem there. he should maybe take a breath and hold on a 2nd. there might be a problem there because we know that a number of progressives in the democratic party were clearly not happy with the fact that the war on guys continued so many civilians were killed. and 5 bending saunders tried to stop military aid going through to israel, $780000000.00 worth of military 8. and eventually went through that objection one because it looked as if it was already gone through and had passed through the process that it needed to be to because it helped to get a c spot in guys as well. so there's no guarantee that this will automatically go through, it's likely to, but there will be a number of democrats, both in the senate and the house who will say, look, we can't just be signing a check to israel here because how are we sure that this is providing sec

the benny guns is now in town and he's determined to collect lindsey graham. he's a senior republican, he has been in israel just on tuesday. he said that this 1000000000 dollar demand will go through congress very easily. but if you rightly point out it might not. there are plenty in congress who are a bit concerned that what they're doing is not providing is really security, but giving them the basis to launch aggression against the palestinians. and the certainly many in the democratic party who want to see joe biden take a much stronger stand against israel. you remember that the sanders actually blocked the sale of weapons to israel during the war and gaza. but he backed down from that because essentially the deal had gone through. so ben again was $1000000000.00, but he'll also tell lloyd austin and jim sullivan, how israel intends to lower tensions and gaza. so they're not bike. and another years time looking for more money to restock iron. don't just to point out that in 2020 israel got $3800000000.00 in aid from the united states congress. most of tha

lindsey graham, who believe in republican said he didn't see any problem with that going through congress. he's an important republican vote on the appropriations committee, but it's not just, i don't that benny gates is going to be talking about. he's also going to be talking about the situation in lebanon. what the really government plans to do with guys or how they're going to help in the reconstruction there, how they will try and make sure that there's no repeat of the violence that we saw any time soon. they're also good to talk about how there could be a prisoner swap with the mass and how many people would be involved with that. the options have been involved in the negotiations there. and then there is the iran deal as well. no, been against isn't opposed to the idea of the united states coming back in to the iran deal. he would like to make sure that it's a lot tougher. but as the defense secretary likely to be in the next administration, his view would be quite important. and we know that the talks in vienna are moving forward in suddenly to the biggest storm them, the side of

he will ask for that $1000000000.00 that he says he needs no. lindsey graham, who is a prominent republican, he's been in israel over the last 24 hours. he says this will of no problem going through congress. not entirely sure. it will be no problem. there are a number of people, particularly in the democratic party, are a bit concerned about the sort of investment in the years really military. they see this not just the securing the security of israel, but actually helping them go ahead with provocation. an action against garza and the number of politicians, both in the house and the senate have spoken out about it. in fact, you remember that during the last operation and gather that sanders try to block the sale of weapons to israel that eventually went away. he stepped back because the deal was essentially going through, but there will be those in the democratic party. they'll want to say to joe biden, luc, you've got to take a much stronger line with what the release are doing. there were many guns in washington. he'll also line what the really government intends to do to try and bring

we also believe, according to senator lindsey graham that he's going to ask the pentagon for a $1000000000.00 that's to basically re arm the iron dome defense system, also get other munitions. and that's the big question here because he's had a lot of meetings. but again, while he's been in town, he's with folk to the national security adviser secretary state, now the secretary of defense. so the question is, and president biden has already said he's willing to give israel some money to do that. but the question is, did he do that before when he offered tried to call for a cease fire after that 11 days of conflict? or is the us going to try and use that request for a 1000000000 dollars for some leverage to either try and get aid into gaza, which all of those principles and from the u. s. side of spoken about during all these stops, we expect the secretary of defense, we'll do that as well. or they could possibly try and see do something with a freeze on settlements. white house being very mom about this, whether it's going to be money given without any strings attached or if they are going to

pick that up and actually determined to, to try to leave or, or appears to be and the lindsey graham, who was the questioner there at the us senate, is an opponent of bite and politic play. he's also a promoter of endless us wars and interventions. and it's interesting when lloyd austin and the joint chief of staff chairman, responded he, they said it's a medium warning and it would take 2 years. so i think what we see here is a tug of war between those who are insisting that the u. s. they for ever an afghan is den and those who feel that the war is not winnable, it's drain. it's not going to be. it's not going to alter the outcome. and they also make a differentiation between the taliban and should the television become the new government? yes, it would be the same kind of government, maybe with some slight variation from the way it was before september 11. but i think it's important not to conflate that with isis or isis is in afghanistan because of the us invasion of afghanistan. there was no isis prior to 2001 and archived as a severely weakened for so obviously the military a ja

but we also believe, and we were told by senator lindsey graham that he's going to ask for a $1000000000.00 that on top of the $3800000000.00 that the u. s. gives to israel every year. that would be to replenish the iron dome defense system and also get other munitions. now we don't know exactly if the by the ministration already agreed to this in order to get that fire in gaza. or if they're going to look, to attach more strings to it for the $1000000000.00, such as getting 8 into gaza, or possibly something to do with the settlements. so we're going to be asking sources in the hours and days ahead. exactly. it will kind of ask us is going to put on that money. it does appear that they are going to give israel the $1000000000.00 that they want to. the question is, do they have to do anything to get it from personal, pretty care now to say when we come back, the u. n. and rights groups appeal for continued access to opposition held areas in northern syria. and we're report from north central nigeria where negotiators are racing in time to free more than a 100 abducted children minor stateme

israelis believed that they were in a position to end the operation in guys and hostilities. lindsey graham, who is a senior republican, he was in israel on tuesday. he said, look, this is going to go through congress, but it's not actually guaranteed because there are a number of people, particularly in the democratic party who are a bit concerned about giving the israelis more money. they're worried that this isn't about providing security. this is about providing ammunitions which leads to aggression. you remember the bad news saunders during the war and gaza said that he was going to put a hold on about $700000000.00 worth of arm to sales to israel. now in the end, he went through that objection one because it was going through anyway into because many people thought that that would lead to a cease fire. but joe biden seems to be in the camp, or we will give israel what they need. but he's also trying to make sure that the palestinians right, recognize that are those and the democratic party who think that the white house and joe biden has to do more and take a harsher stance on disrael
