that's something that as far as i'm concerned is completely unacceptable to have the irs systems go down. as a result of that, as i said, we're doing a complete review. i think that we've come back and kind of always focused on the most pressing issues, but i am determined that we have a plan to bring the irs into the modern age of technology. right now, we -- as i have said to you, we're looking at that seriously. >> it's my understanding that there is in development a five-year plan basically to be able to lay out how to be able to catch irs up and what to be able to do with technology, is that the current plan? >> actually commissioned a team to work on that and we are meeting -- we meet every day with the commissioner because he's busy on tax implementation but this is a major focus that i have asked the commissioner to work on and for us to make sure we come back and brief you on. >> when do you think we would get that plan, at least the draft of it, to be able to see how that comes out? >> i hope in the next 90s days to come back and give you a preliminary update. >> we need to loo

she has become the focus of his ire as we've seen in recent days and particularly in that cabinet meeting on wednesday. she's in charge of the department of homeland security, and as far as he's concerned, she hasn't been doing the job aggressively enough. >> jackie, your newspaper pays particular close attention to this issue, and it bears repeating that the construction was planned. it was a long rollout as opposed to any new border wall going up in southern california or anywhere else. >> well, it not only bears repeating, it's borne republishing a number of times. the paper is consistently coming out and saying, no, this is scheduled repair of a long existing fence at the border. and if i could, i agree completely with my former colleague peter there about the fact that none of this has really gotten under way yet. if i could put it in perspective, this week the president -- the white house has put forward $15 billion worth of rescissions as a sort of sign that it is fiscally conservative and get the deficits down, which is frankly a rounding error in terms of the deficit. but $15 billion, if they're going to cut that from the budget, he's complaining that he's no

as far as the terms of the jcpoa itself, what's important to note is that in the deal, they are allowed to work on certain aspects of their nuclear program. they are allowed to have ir 8 row ttor assemblies, they have e over that number, whether you think that's a substantial violation or a technical violation, and we shouldn't get into that. the iaea has focussed on the high water problem -- >> it's not that -- it's defense secretary mattis, it's now secretary of state pompeo, it's the israeli netanyahu, so the idea that iran was in violation of the deal is a bit overstating it when so many have said no, they're pretty much complying with it in all the major ways. excuse me, congressman, i want to bring in andrea mitchell and al reussy, i watched you reporting on this deal day in and day out. tell us about when the u.s. was dealing with iran to get this done and why at the time it felt like such an important negotiation, why it needed to happen then? >> reporter: well, iran was basically months, only months from having a nuclear weapon, and the fact is that the allies decided six countries includes the european union, the permanent members of the u.n. security coun
