senator john cornyn, senate finance committee kind enough to join us. with everything going on right now, this is the latest rally that shows that a lot of these who protest over the world are sympathetic to the palestinians and not the israelis. staggering figured like 10,000 sortie attacks reconfirm the suspicions that israeli is overdoing it. how do you respond to that and how should the administration respond to that? >> neil, this is about iran acting by and through its proxies. of course the attacks against the u.s. military personnel in iraq and in syria by and through shiia backed malitias. this is all about the number 1 state sponsor of terrorism, iran. which is on the path to get a nuclear weapon. this ought to strike concern to say the least in the hearts everybody paying attention. i agree with secretary panetta. we need to eliminate the threat just like we need to let israel eliminate the threat from hamas in gaza. >> neil: senator, much has been made of the fact that whatever our counter strike in to iraq this time, northern iraq, to take

cornyn: i'm here to join my colleagues in support of israel. we're willing to do more than just speak those words. we're willing to do something about it. something that miraculously the majority leader has been unwilling to do since november 2nd when the house passed a $14.3 billion bill to provide aid to israel. and for some reason, the only person who has the authority to bring a bill like that to the floor to vote has refused to do so. it makes me wonder why. why in the world would the majority leader, who i know supports israel, refuse to bring a bill to the floor to provide that aid? so far almost five weeks since the house passed an appropriation bill to do exactly that. well, it could be that he doesn't like the pay-for. he doesn't want us to quit adding to our national debt. but if that's the case, he could suggest another offset or pay-for. he could try to bring the bill to the floor and eliminate the pay-for the house provided. i think it makes plenty of sense to keep the pay-for in the bill so we don't add to the debt which is now a

just listen to senators ted cruz and john cornyn on this week's decision by the texas supreme court toy kate cox an abortion. >> senator, are you supportive of the texas supreme court's ruling in the kate cox case that prevented her from getting an abortion after she learned her fetus was not viable. >> call the press office. >> i have for two days, and i haven't received an answer. >> are you worried about women in your state who may be at risk by state laws like kate cox. >> i'm not a state official. i'm not going to comment on what state officials are doing. i'm happy to comment on anything that i'm responsible for. >> joining us now, nbc news correspondent vaughn hillyard, msnbc legal analyst, lisa rubin and "the new york times" adam hiptack whose reporting i just mentioned. adam, i want to begin with you. i think you have some insightful and meaningful detail in this piece. i want to start with when the court decided to take on the issue of abortion and how quickly it became clear that the conservatives had the majority to overturn it within the supreme court. >> well, so the stan

thank you, senator cornyn for thatth introduction.ity you described i'm here representing the views i'm going to express to the views of my own. i would like to begin with one single observation and it is this. what this committee does or does not do will have a profound o impact on violent crime in our country. i am convinced of this because as a federal prosecutor when our nation faced similar problems in the mid-ar 1980s. crime was skyrocketing. congress responded and responded with legislative programs and statutes that allowed federal prosecutors to team up with thestate and local law enforcemt partners and to go after they after themost violent criminalsr country. the program worked. a violent crime began to turn around by 1991 as we continue to fill our prisons with violent offenders from across the country over the next two decades and by 2014 violent crime had been cut in half. then in 2015 we began to see a rise and an increase in violent crime. to those of us who were participants in the system this wase no surprise because

chairman. >> senator cornyn. >> mr. chairman. i think mr. fonsone's nomination in the points made by senator graham raise larger questions. i am thinking as i heard the comments about the attempts senator grassley, senator feinstein and those others of us on this committee tried to implement reforms to the foreign agent registration act, it is a fact that foreign governments, not just friends but adversaries hire lobbyists, law firms, accountants, other people in washington dc, who unbeknownst to us, are working on behalf of our nation's adversaries and the reason why is because the foreign agent registration act is full of loopholes. it needs to be fixed. we take an oath of office to uphold the constitution and the laws of the united states, not to do the bidding inadvertently, maybe unwittingly, of our nation's adversaries. this is serious stuff. because our nation's adversaries exploit this loophole in the registration of foreign agencies. i will give you a quick anecdote. back in 2016 i was one of the chief sponsors of the law the create

probably what what happens that to maintain margins, harborage of these are going to stop john cornyn. they will start shedding -- reverse the job porting. they will start shedding jobs. so the u.s. consumer is facing high will rates, exhaustion of those checks from the pandemic, liquidity is drying up, and they are experiencing ongoing inflation with high will rates. it is going to be a complicated scenario. on wins for the economy knocks to hear are underpriced into market sentiment right now. alix: what about the friday's jobs number? good news, bad news? kathryn: i think if the jobs never disappoints, that will be good news. the work it is discounting a fed that can land this thing perfectly without pickups. the market is rooting for the economy to slow down. alix: thank you so much. one other thing we are watching is the crypto sector. bitcoin has blown past the $41,000 mark, bringing the rally to more than 150% this year. stocks surging as well as investors are increasingly convinced the drill reserve is done with rate hikes. or is this just more money sloshing in the system tha

what do you make of the way senators ted cruz and john cornyn are responding to cox's case after havingion opinions in the past? >> yeah, it was good for the campaigns. so long as it wasn't a reality. it was also good when the face of abortions wasn't a 31 year old white female that has two children. has a husband. once more children. it was great when you could create this bogeyman of who it was that was going after abortions. now, the reality is that we know that it's all types of women, from all types of backgrounds, for all different reasons that are saying, i choose life. my life. and if you really are going to be the pro-life party, don't try to kill women. and absolutely don't kill our wounds. but they can't help themselves. they know that they've got themselves in a pickle. they have peddled this nonsense for so long that so many people have bought into it that they don't really know where to go. the country isn't with them. and to be clear, regardless of what's happening with our supreme court and with our state legislature. this state of texas is not with our lawmakers whatsoe

as senator john cornyn said, this issue will most likely have to be postponed until january.iev regime, who arrived in the states, is extremely unhappy with this. our correspondent in the usa, dmitry melnikov, has all the details. perhaps the most important negotiations in zelensky’s life, the last chance is to personally ask congress to unblock 60 billion. after 3 days, congressmen go on vacation and the mission looks impossible; the general at the national defense university, to applause, he vows to defeat russia next year. american bradley and highmars, 155 mm shells, and missiles, atak ms, patriot and f-16 can get the job done in europe, you can count on ukraine, and we hope we can count on you too. russia is involved in all the conflicts in the world, and ukraine is fighting for you, zelensky convinces the generals. while scraping together the last of the money to supply arms to kiev, the pentagon can now only make assurances. support to repeat how important ukraine is for us security. america's commitments must be fulfilled. america's security must be protected, america

decision on american military assistance to ukraine may be delayed until january, said senator john cornyn legislators will not have time to resolve all the contradictions before the christmas holidays. the fact that the house of representatives does not plan to consider the request for new tranches from kiev by the end of the year is also evidenced by the schedule of the congress. however , us national security council representative john kirby believes that washington will still be able to resolve the issue by the end of december. the us reproached congress for that he is slowing down the allocation of new funds. washington and kiev are developing a new military strategy. the previous one failed. according to the new york times, the pentagon will send a separate lieutenant general to ukraine for this purpose. the senior us military will arrive in kiev early next year and will take part in a number of strategic sessions before that. in germany, alika komarova will tell you what else is known about the plans of the west. the sinking kiev regime may tighten its sinkhole to the west if the c

cornyn: mr. week at long last the senate will vote on the national defense authorization act conference report. each year the defense authorization act is how we demonstrate our support for the men and women in uniform, how they're paid, how they're equipped, how they're trained, and how our alliances are strengthened. given the incredible number of threats that exist in today's world, preserving our military readiness has never been more impo important. there's a war in the middle east, war in europe and growing tensions in the indo-pacific. i was reading this morning there's more wars and conflicts today than there have been literally at almost any time in history. we live in a dangerous world, and maintaining our paramount strength and the deterrents that flows from that is absolutely imperative. that's why the defense authorization act is so important. each year it allows us to take stock of the evolving threat landscape and to take corrective actions. this year's defense bill prioritizes lon

certainly nothing happens without john cornyn making his inputs on there and appreciate their effortsn that, but the time is now. the time for national security package is now. in my district it is pure chaos and people are upset because their lives have been turned upside down. my district is predominantly hispanic. many are first and second generation americans but they're tired of the high-speed chases, tired of their schools going into lockdown. i would argue, yes, we've been talking about the amount of people coming over that we don't know who is entering our country and the terrorist threat from external, but i -- i would also talk about a terrorist threat internal. i think to 9/11 and what happened there, but i also think back to the oklahoma city bombing and what is happening, people in this country are furious at this open border crisis. it's why it's so imperative that the senate and house work with the president to come up with a national security package that puts the country above everything else. >> okay. well, we know from some of the negotiators who have been out this

texas senators ted cruz and john cornyn have refused to weigh in on the case. 0ne republican taking iti haley, who is looking to beat former president donald trump for their party presidential nomination next year. here's what she's said during the campaign. you know i'm pro—life. i welcome the states that have become pro—life, but this is exactly why you have to show compassion and humanize the situation. we don't want any women to sit there and deal with a rare situation and have to deliver a baby in that sort of circumstance. any more than we want women getting an abortion at 37, 38, 39 weeks. we have to humanize this situation and deal with it with compassion. i think texas is going to go back and have their medical board look at this and say how should we deal with this. i spoke to michelle erenberg, executive director of lift lousiana, an advocacy organisation that campaigns for abortion rights and policy change about the impact the abortion ban was having on patients in the state. good to see you. louisiana has completely banned abortions with very limited exceptions. have those

she carried this child to term, her fertility was at risk, her health was at risk and senator john cornyn was asked to weigh in on the fact the texas supreme court was trying to force her to carry this child to term, take a listen to what you're calling had to say. >> that is strictly a matter of state law, i'm a federal official. i'm not a state official so i'm not to comment on what -- state officials are doing. >> senator ted cruz, the other senator also declined to comment, your thoughts? >> both of them have voted to try to march towards this nationwide abortion ban, what happened to kate cox is horrific, they were doing this to her. no one should be forced to leave their state to get the healthcare they need, kate cox is being forced to risk her health and with a fatal condition, and jeopardize her future ability to have another child if she wanted to simply because she lives in texas. no woman should have to go through that. the republican will continue their statewide national no abortion band, i will never stop working for every american in every state to have reproductive choice

i think we saw john cornyn say they're not going to vote on a framework, which is what's being worked now. we're going to see what happens this weekend where senate negotiators are still trying to strike a deal to get the ukraine funding and the board issues solved. a lot of people are really hesitant and skeptical of this timeline, but we'll see. obviously if it's pushed out to january, it's going to make funding even more difficult. >> what are the problems with tying border concerns to the aid package for ukraine and israel? >> i think that's the leverage they have. they want to use that leverage. ukraine funding has been increasingly unpopular with the republican base. the republican base is not the reaganite republican base that it once was. so president biden, who in pastimes might have been able to rely on sort of bipartisan support for this kind of thing, now has to find his own leverage to make this work. democrats in congress have to do likewise, but they haven't done that yet. i think this is a situation where republicans -- their bluff could be called if the white house pu

this is what senator john cornyn, republican of texas there's a misunderstanding on the part of senator schumer. this is not a traditional negotiation where we expect to come up with a bipartisan compromise. this is a price that has to be paid in order to get the sup is lemt the. >> it couldn't be more clear than who they are seeking to be majority leader one day or the senate playing his politics as well. but i think there's the immediacy of the immigration politic, but put that to the side. to get to what john was saying about where the republican party is on this issue of ukraine aid, i think we have two dramatically different world views about america's role in the world that's on display here. this is real trumpism, as you said, in terms of foreign policy here, somebody who has said he wants to -- doesn't appear all that interested in the alliance with the u.s. joe biden believes his ability to hold nato together and bring europe together in this battle that he thinks is sort of an existential battle for democracy on the globe, he thinks it's one of the greatest establishments. ima

republican senator john cornyn telling cnn he didn't move the needle at all.dent biden announced yesterday the u.s. will release 200 million already approved funding to bolster ukraine's defense but also appeared to acknowledge the current congressional climate changing w. listen to the president's pledge nor ukraine and support in june. >> i believe we will have the funding necessary to support ukraine as long as it takes. >> and here he is yesterday. >> we'll continue to supply ukraine with critical weapons and equipment as long as we can. >> from as long as it takes to as long as we can. with us from the white house is john kirby. the national security council coordinator for strategic communications. admiral, was that an intentional direct shift in the president's wording? >> the president still wants to support ukraine as long as it takes. he is reflecting the reality on capitol hill which is that we don't have additional funding now heading into the new year. so we're working hard to -- at the negotiating table to see if we can't get that over the floin.

what am, i guessnegoti is goinge senator john cornyn in the middle of it all. so we will see you on sunda ♪ [the star-spangled banner] ♪ [the star-spangled banner] ♪ [the star-spangled banner] ♪ [the star-spangled banner] will: good morning and welcome to "fox and friends," beautiful saturday morning. as we see her homes splashed across our television screens one week before christmas. rachel: don't say one week, it gets me stressed. i need something. >> you have a lot of support. rachel: i have little kathleens the do things not the way i like. pete: i don't think -- rachel: i thought you were talking about my older kids. pete: sometimes thanksgiving comes late in november and comes quick. i think those extra days help us so i feel ready too. rachel: if you start thinking about christmas at the start of advent it feels like a real rush to you because it's a shorter advent because of that longer period between. will: ready to go? ready to go? all right. tell me the story. will: the senate. rachel: we are not ready to go. will: they will return to capitol hill i

let's begin with what john cornyn said there.hy is this not the moment to deal with the crisis at the border? >> poppy, thank you for having me. let me make this perfectly clear. the immigration system has been broken for deck and our department of homeland security has been underfunded for years and years. and president biden has addressed both issues with strength from day one. on the first day of his administration, he presented congress with legislation to fix our immigration system, and we have submitted to congress a supplemental funding bill that will resource our department. the heroic border patrol agents that you displayed just a few minutes ago, to fund them as they need to address what is an unprecedented level of migration not only at our southern border, not only in the western hemisphere, but throughout the world. >> address with strength is what you say the president and this administration are doing, but even his surrogate, illinois governor j.b. pritzker does not feel that in illinois. listen to this from octobe

we were with chris murphy and senator cornyn and spent five hours with the president of mexico. we have to make sure we understand each other. we don't want mexico to interfere with our foreign policy or laws, but we want them to do their job. the more we stop people on their 20-yard line, mexico and guatemala, the better we are, support title eight, deportation and detention. >> mike: was the visit to mexico by the cabinet secretaries just a photo op? >> tony gonzales: it think it is more. they are doing their job and i thank them for visiting these countries. they have relied on dhs secretary blinken, i will be clear, there will be no amnesty in any national security package, i will make sure of that. i am looking for tangible solutions, that is dog whistle to the left that tries to get them onboard. i'm seeing americans do not feel safe in their own homes. i'm seeing fentanyl killing americans. i'm seeing cities all over the country, new york city, and chicago, but next year we'll be talking about denver and l.a. and philadelphia. there is no end to this border crisis until t

we heard from senator graham and senator cornyn. here's what they're saying. >> i think it's going to take the president himself telling his cabinet and telling his staff get this done. >> lindsey graham, the key is to get the commander in chief involved in the negotiations. it's his job above all others. do you believe with the senators? >> every american should agree. it is the commander in chief's primary job to provide security to the united states. i've been in the southern border twice, erin. it is an unmitigated, embarrassing horrifying disaster. not just under this administration for about the last ten administrations. and that is true. democrats and republicans have absolutely failed at the border. these are truths i wish more americans knew. we have to reform our immigration policy and our asylum policy. we're putting human beings in the position of making this horrific journey spending their life savings, giving it to mexican cartels because they have to come across the border. we should be doing that -- we should be proc

senator john cornyn telling us last night that sometimes a failed vote is the momentum you need to keeps going. poppy? >> two weeks and counting. lauren fox, thanks very much. >>> well, from the policy to the politics. new harvard polling this morning shows president biden holds a lead over donald trump over 18 to 29 registered voters but falls short of majority support. young people also less enthusiastic to vote in 2024 than four years ago. happened with less than six weeks from the iowa caucuses. tomorrow is the gop debate. we're now down to our smallest field ever, nikki haley, ron desantis, chris christie, vivek ramaswamy will all be on stage in alabama. i'm joined by cnn's alayna treene from washington. i want to start with the debate. six weeks until iowa. nikki haley has been the hot candidate inside that primary at this moment. do they believe inside that campaign the momentum will have a lasting impact? >> well, they hope it will, phil. but it's hard to see right now how far that momentum will take her. i do think that this debate is a great opportunity for her. i've talked to

. >> thank you, senator booker, senator cornyn? works mr. chairman.thank you for having this hearing you said you would do it and you are doing it so i appreciate it very much. this is urgent and serious issue. i think what we are seeing is what happens with the biden administration is outsourcing its immigration policy to criminal cartels who are getting richer by the minute smuggling people and drugs into the united states. and of course the human casualties associated with that the grieving parents losing their children to fentanyl poisoning are well documented. mr. salazar, in your testimony you talk about central america and the so-called root causes strategy. it sounds to me like the administration is engaged innate nationbuilding process to try to address immigration and doing nothing at all about the pull factors which lay out the welcome mat for people all around the world. let me just ask you, did you know that in 2022 people from 174 different countries came to our border and were released into the interior of the united states customer 174

we will speak with john cornyn of texas about the state of play in these negotiations. fox news correspondent with the very latest on a foggy day. >> hello. ukraine's president came to the white house hoping to secure more funding. many house republicans want to see more of that aid side to increase funding secured the southern border. >> we want to see ukraine when the war. >> with the word a stalemate for more than a year and after a failed counteroffensive house speaker mike johnson wants to see a new plan. >> we need a clear articulation of the strategy to allow ukraine to win. >> the president blasting israel with what he called indiscriminate which he claims has support for the state. >> i want to focus, not stop going after hamas but more careful. >> congress remains deadlock over increase aid to israel and ukraine. unless more money is spent to secure the border. the house left for christmas recess without a deal while the senate has remained in washington as negotiations continue. the white house even said homeland security secretary to meet with the negotiator

cornyn: i'm here to join my colleagues in support of israel. we're willing to do more than just speak those words. we're willing to do something about it. something that miraculously the majority leader has been unwilling to do since november 2nd when the house passed a $14.3 billion bill to provide aid to israel. and for some reason, the only person who has the authority to bring a bill like that to the floor to vote has refused to do so. it makes me wonder why. why in the world would the >> why the floor to provide that aid? so far almost five weeks since the house passed an appropriation bill to do exactly that. well, it could be that he doesn't like the pay-for. he doesn't want us to quit adding to our national debt. but if that's the case, he could suggest another offset or pay-for. he could try to bring the bill to the floor and eliminate the pay-for the house provided. i think it makes plenty of sense to keep the pay-for in the bill so we don't add to the debt which is now about 100% of our economy. this last year alone, united states go

cornyn and cruz are avoiding the subject. >> i'm not a state official.h me now is collin allred who is running against ted cruz. >> thanks for having me. >> it's good for you to be here. how do you see this abortion issue playing in texas, but in your race against ted cruz? >> first of all, it's heartbreaking. my heart goes out to kate, to her family. everything she's had to go through. she had to go to the emergency room four times. her physician said she needs a medically necessary abortion. she's appealed to her state to allow her to do that close to home. they said no. this is the result of decades of extremists pushing us to this position to where we have a near total ban on abortion in the state of texas. this is what it looks like. as a mother of two, having a complicated pregnancy and having to leave our state. it's unacceptable. we have to do something about it. we can by codifying roe v. wade. >> do you think this is going to become a driving issue, especially for women voters? >> i think people are outraged. my wife and i are. we have had two

republican senator john cornyn says while it's critical to provide additional funding for ukraine, it's biden who causing the delays. >> the only thing that is really holding us up at this point is the unwillingness of the white house thus far to acknowledge they're going to have to deal with the border component. >> reporter: republican senator mitch mcconnell says it would be practically impossible to pass a funding package before christmas even if it gets through the senate before then. democrat senator chuck schumer questioned if republicans were so serious about the border, why are so many of them in such a hurry to clove. trace. >> trace: jeff thank you bring in steve hilton and erin perrine from axiom strategies. great to see you both. so i want to lay this out going back to impeachment inquiry vote by the way 8:00 tomorrow morning less than nip hours away, the house speaker mike johnson laid this out steve hilton. these are accusations against biden put them on the screen. 2014-2019 biden family members and their affiliate companies received more than 15 million from foreign com
