gregg: joining me to talk about it republican senator from wyoming, john barrasso.with us. in addition to what mr. mccaul said, it was also the method that was used here, suicide bombers wearing vests, detonating them which is consistent with past acts by isis. does this appear to you to be the work of the islamic state? >> well, it does to me. this is horrific attack, in a string of horrific attacks. united states senator, i'm very concerned about protection of the homeland. so there is significant fear and anxiety worldwide but what we need to do here at home is make sure our military, intelligence community as well as law enforcement has all tools they need. but in addition to that, we need to go after isis where they are. they have a safe haven where they can direct, where they can influence and where they can inspire attacks like this and train others. ice is is not going to self-destruct. they are resilient. they're formidable. we need to destroy them. gregg: but the president has said they're contained and on the defense, senator. you don't believe him? >> we

. >>> joining me now to talk about this, john barrasso. welcome, sir. >> thanks for having me. >> thanks for being here. have you been briefed on the attack? >> we're having a briefing today on the attack. we had a briefing yesterday on any progress to be made against isis. but let's face this. this is a horrific attack in a string of horrific attacks at home and abroad, so there is clearly fear, clearly anxiety and as a u.s. senator, my focus is on protecting the homeland. there are two parts to that. one is to make certain that our military, our intelligent forces, law enforcement have the tools they need. and then number two, taking the fight to isis themselves where they are in their safe haven, they are a resilient enemy. they are an enemy that is formidable, and what we need to do is destroy them. they will not self-destruct. >> "the daily beast" notes the special forces style sophistication of this airport attack. do you notice a new level of sophistication, and how terrorists carried out this attack in istanbul? >> well, you see th

wyoming republican senator john barrasso joins me from capitol hill.thanks for joining. >> thanks, charles. charles: paul ryan. he talked about the constitutional aspects of this. the separations of power. i think everyone applauds the rule of law and what happened today. but the issue of itself is not going to go away. it does underscore the importance of november's election, doesn't it? >> well it really does. look, today's ruling in the supreme court, it was a stinging defeat for the president but this has been a string of defeats for a president who believes he is above the law. we've seen it with the waters of united states. we've seen it with his clean power plan. we saw it yesterday with the federal judge ruling that the president's fracking rule that affects how we produce energy in this country was illegal. and yet the white house chief of staff not too long ago said as they go out of office they will go with audacious executive actions. it is time for the president to follow the law. not continue to push it, stretch, it, ultimately break it.

with immigration in been steadily pushing for comprehensive reform barrasso making family reunification central part of the effort they take decades to process and 40 percent of those waiting are from other countries in an election and if we consider immigration we must stop -- must not forget the indigenous people of the recognition of native hawaiians with health care it means not only defending the affordable care racked but improving language access to enforce the civil rights protections in the reproductive justice generally supporting a woman's right to duces jews but raising awareness of that prosecution of remnants of color purple with pay equity not only recognizing there only paid $0.86 but the vietnamese american women pay only $0.61 on the dollar finally seeing and hearing is beyond the model minority with the pacific islanders have the highest obliterate of all racial and ethnic groups and they continue to have access to higher education is seems they're the least likely to receive mental health treatment and one out of 10 documents have criminal-justice reform that extends

barrasso: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, last weeks flags across the country were lowered to half staff to honor the 49 lives that were lost in the terrorist attack in orlando. the american flag also flew at half staff following terrorist attacks in brussels in march, in san bernardino last december and in paris last november. the flag is a symbol and it has great meaning. so do words, words when we talk about the enemy. the words have meaning too. but now is not just a time to talk. now is the time to act. we must take action to stop the terrorists here and abroad. that's why last week republicans were eager to get to work on appropriations bills that give the f.b.i. more of the resources that they need to stop the threats on american soil. the bill that would give the law enforcement officials more tools to help prevent terrorist attack was brought and discussed on the floor. but what did the democrats do? they came to the floor and staged a campaign-style publicity stunt. when democrats were talking on the floo

barrasso: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, like many people in this body, i was home last week in wyoming, honoring the sacrifice of america's veterans. every day we see evidence of just how much america relies on our men and our women in uniform to keep us safe, to keep us free, to fight for our freedoms, to fight for our safety. every day we get fresh reminders that the world continues to be a very dangerous place. so, mr. president, to me it's disturbing that the democrats in washington have done so much to slow down our efforts to provide for america's troops, troops we need for our national defense. the defense authorization act that we're debating here sets important policies and priorities that have a great effect on our national security. a strong american military is absolutely essential, essential as we need to address the world's dangers that we face overseas before they become direct threats here at home. so when i consider legislation like this, i try to keep one thing in mind. if you want to make ameri

and with the social safety net and is actually better barrasso satisfaction of a household.what needs to be done. as they're willing to learn. but this is just to show from the of policy process so they can design the path of the adjustment and that is difficult with the excess supply of steel and coal dealing with a human being and then tomorrow working in the house industry. and as for the international community. in order for us to really make a case. >> car will ask both of you about brexit the with the commanding director of the imf to put out a statement and in terms of the market so i have a two-part question what factors are you watching for with a response to take you off of that measure of confidence? and then at it is seen touse suggest that some measure of transparency so you could argue that the opposite is true. with the reassessment potentially on the u.k. with what they wanted. so first secretary has said the market reaction seems to have been in rio lot to the coordination in conveyance of the brexit vote and we have learned a lot from his experience in note

author of the rise of american democracy the is especially strong as a complicated hero a missionary barrasso a spirit was the most important diplomats in all of american history and slavery's greatest enemy he does justice to the men in his time the historian's sense of complexity in the eye for drama and detail after his talk with question and answer he will be signing copies of his book outside the national archives store. plays welcome him to the national archives. [applause] >> thanks for that introduction so when i was coming in here this morning i was taking a taxi to penn station every bus that i passed had a giant sign on the sign that said hamilton. [laughter] so naturally i thought what of the producer and the writer and the star of theip show came to me and

barrasso: thank you, mr. president. most mornings as the senate is in session, the minority leader comes to the floor, senator reid, talks for awhile, sometimes talks about things in the news. so i come today to the floor to talk about headline in the news today. "the new york times" of all places, with a headline "obamacare premiums are rising and not by a little." obamacare premiums are rising, and not by a little, today's "new york times" headline. because it's interesting when i hear senator reid come to the floor so often he's coming to the floor to defend the obama health care law. a couple of weeks ago he came to the floor and he said that obamacare, he said is continuing to work. those are his words. so today i find it interesting in "the new york times," "obamacare care premiums are continuing to rise and not by a little." it says even in urban areas where competition was expected to be brisk and the risk pool relatively young and healthy -- expected is the key word there -- insurers appear to be struggling. in

. >>> jeff reaves is with us, steve barrasso from stuart frankel on the floor of the skparj and rick santelli joins us from chicago as well. steve, what are you watching? i'll start with the levels question. we've been kind of grinding higher in the last week oar so. we finally get a bit of a pullback. what's going on here? >> in order to put new money in this market, bill, i said you need to take out the old highs 2rhighs, 21 president 34. it's soros, brexit, all of those things. you need new highs to put money to bjork or add to your longs you've already established. if you want to lighten up, i wouldn't argue with that. but it's very hard to say let me buy this market at all-time highs. i'm not saying we're not going to break through, but i'd rather see you break through. >> jeff, you like this market. what specifically about it? >> well, i do think they kind of tell it. we take-two steps forward, two steps back. it wasn't that long ago in january we thought the world was over and we saw a big snapback in the spring. >> right. >> i think the company is pretty durable. but i think

commentator and pro columnist is michael santoli and julia tedd from the "financial times" and steve barrasso. >> we're fully positioned for a main vote, no doubt about that. i do think it's interesting -- the s&p 500 got back to where it was 15 days ago. june th we closed jewel 8th. we closed at 2. we went down in this anxiety. everyone got extremely positioned, have come back and taken it all back. the issue is if it is closed, if it is an exit, we're vulnerable, but i don't think it means we've used up all that is necessary. >> that's a good way to look at it. let's get to the latest on the polls. great brittain, less than an hour away from closing. wilfred frost is in london with the latest. will? >> thank you. i've got a copy of the "london evening standard" here. remain ahead in final poll. that was a poll out quite some time ago that we've already discussed. a picture of david cameron having voted with his wife. if you turn a few pages in, i don't know if you can see the headlines. sydney traders and lawyers to work all night. something we've been discussing very much throughout. i've

for 15 years to 16 years than conducting numerous investigations of radical and extremist groups barrasso those you draw a connection from perverted versions. >> and your suggestion is removing training materials that our unfounded in fact, to make law enforcement more effective so talk about that >> those that were uncovered show that this material is not just open the biased against arabs and muslims and other groups like chinese cultural awareness training and many others that had factual laws and as the investigator trains you want to focus on what they are trying to accomplish which is a reduction of violence when i was working undercover a lot of people said a lot of things they didn't like the one i had to do working within the guidelines at the time was objectively evaluate where there was a reasonable indication of criminal activity and by focusing on the handful of people engaging in criminal activity those that were expressing themselves in ways that i would consider hateful was a legal but i believe we are robust enough that we can leave with those expressions and what we need

in this audience but it's people who are in public service at a do want to note that senator john barrasso from wyoming epistemic here because his daughter is also in the graduating class, so i thank him for his presence. [applause] at least two other alumni are very important parts of my administration and i want to acknowledge former deputy secretary of defense rudy deleon on, and a man who is not your, tony quelled, was a great congressman from california and the primary sponsor for the americans with disabilities act who served on the commission for people with disabilities. [applause] i am here in two capacities, not just as a commencement speaker but hillary and i came as a proud uncle in and of our nephew tyler who is a member of this class. [applause] so i want to congratulate tyler's mom and dad and all the parents and family members and support systems that got all these graduates here today, as well as the graduates themselves. i am well aware that for most of you, the least important part of this ceremony is my talk. [laughter] look, i graduated from georgetown 40 years ago and

they are the ones who are going to work with senator barrasso and congresswoman virginia fox and draft's going to be very similar to what we did in 2012. that platform came out on a voice vote from the platform committee. >> all well and good, what happens behind the scenes, but what happens when you have a nominee and a platform that conceivably could be pretty divergent in how they look at the world? >> i don't think it's going to be a problem for party unity because you are going to see many of the ideas that the house republicans have been working on such as our obamacare repeal and the replacement that was a compilation of 400 different bills that was rolled out this week. you are going to see that reflected. we have a portal where our citizens can go weigh in and express their opinions at the rnc website of what they want to see reflected in that platform and i think you're going to see a platform that people are going to be excited about and view for their local, state and federal politicians kind of a guideline. >> part of any platform is going to involve gun control which is o

you made earlier, and i believe it came in response or at least after your exchange with senator barrassohere i believe you said iran was the one that gave up everything up front. and i think later on in perhaps another question and answer with another senator you had mentioned that iran has given up its ambitions of a nuclear program. i don't want to misquote you. what did you say? >> i'll have to go back and check the transcript but my intent was it's given up ambition of nuclear weapon. >> you believe iran's given up its ambition of a nuclear weapon. that's an accurate portrayal of your view at this point? >> as the jcpoa as implemented prevents iran from achieving a nuclear weapon -- >> at this point. but i mean, do you believe iran is testing ballistic missiles with some day the hope of putting a nuclear warhead on it? >> well, this is one of the reasons why we are concerned about the ballistic missile program, and especially about ballistic missiles that have the capability or designed to have the capability to launch nuclear weapons. but the jcpoa as it is implemented today and ove

barrasso: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. barrasso: i ask unanimous consent that the senate recess until 2. a 15:00 p.m. with the time in recess counting postcloture. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. under the previous order, the senate stands in recess until 2:15. >> it's -- we couldn't have foreshadowed a title based on recent events and grateful to have secretary lew to decipher it. previously he served as the white house chief of staff in the obama administration and held various positions in the obama and clinton administrations and with house speaker o'neil earlier in his career. all of you have been well aware of the committee's efforts for the last five years to try drive reform to the congress and secretary lew is absolutely instrumental in helping push this long-overdue reform. and on matter of law of the committee, i would like to express sincere appreci

demographic looking at those 100 regions in the entire united states that the economic indicators barrasso the benefits if we were to close the gap we would have 2.1 trillion dollar addition if we get a right for those were left behind we get a right for everybody no question the administration has taken bold and effective steps in this regard that to put the is going to the promise neighborhoods they're showing results providing resources pulling together collaboration and the promise so an initiative to be creative and innovative for the commitments they want to achieve it allows them to have the flexibility they need to move to the top-of-the-line to show what they can do it is extraordinary the way he has articulated transportation has the opportunity agenda and the leeway to do local hire for the infrastructure where do we need to put infrastructure? where do we need to place our focus on jobs and how do we make sure the infrastructure is equitable? i think there are many examples to pull from. >> thank you very much. >> now i would like to invite the urban league executive director o
