then you're going to find a gem lankford. he negotiated the best possible deal you could get. anybody says the wall street journal endorsed the deal. the us chamber of commerce endorsed this compromise the border patrol union president was a big trump supporter, endorsed this compromise. why won't president trump and others support this compromise? because they're playing politics. so we just need to keep on making that point over. can i say one other thing, jim? very important. we keep on here about the 5,000, 5,000, 5,000? those 5,000, if under this compromise proposal will be processed on a timely basis 90% of those 5,000 will be sent back right away. >> yeah. so it will not be 5,000. it'll be 500 or less. >> and james lankford, republican senator debunk that fire if thousand talking point much as you are repeatedly, but clearly didn't move trump. you mentioned biden's age last night, saturday night live spoofed the president's supposedly extraordinarily high behind the scenes energy, which we often heard from his advisers have a listen. i want to get your thoughts on one t

here's how biden addressed it at some length and you'll see senator james lankford in here. he of course was the republican who really put it all out there and took a lot of heat from his own party for negotiating this watch the result was a bipartisan bill with the toughest set of border security reforms. we've ever seen >> you don't think so? you don't like that, phil? that conservatives got together and said it was a good bill >> i'll be >> darned. >> that's amazing >> that >> bipartisan bill would hire 1,500 more security agents and officers, 100 more immigration judges help tackle a backlog of two minute cases, 4,300 more asylum officers and new policies so they can resolve cases in six months instead of six years. now >> what do you again? >> so you can see james the look on james lankford space as he nods along with that, and his colleagues sit in stony silence. what what is your view of how, what the next turn of this is based on the president's performance last night. yeah. i mean, that not >> set it all and i think we've heard from lankford already that he is very

you are before senator lankford but we didn't see you come in.or lankford and the come back. >> look at all this. a quick f this, what senator cornyn was talking about, individuals that are unaccompanied minors, are they always placed at home with someone who is legally present induals that are unaccompanied minors, could they be placed in a home with someone who is not legally present in the country and we do not know their legal status? >> are authorities to place them with someone who we vet who will provide a safe shelter. >> any idea what rcentage of people, of children are placed in a home with someone who is not legally present in the country at the time? >> i couldn't tell you that. w■cow that. these are individuals that are vetted but not vetted for their legal status in the country. >> our responsibilities for >> just asking the question. are individuals vetted if they are legally present in the country, do we know children are placed in the home with someone legally present? >> i don't want to evade the question but i'm trying to tell

and i think that key moment with lankford nodding his head and saying, that's true, he sure did cut that one for an ad, because, yeah, that's exactly what they were hoping for. >> it should be noted, too. i mean, when you look at that bill, i've covered immigration since the trump administration and an expulsion authority that would rapidly turn migrants away, raising the credible fear standard to make it harder to gain asylum in the us. surging resources to the border. i mean, i remember trump administration officials, talking to them and them saying these are some of the policies that that we that we need at this time. i do think this is a really fascinating moment for the white house here on immigration. i don't know if it will be successful yet. you see them shifting to the offense here on immigration. there was a lot of criticism from both parties of distancing themselves from a crisis that is on the mind of american voters. i don't know, though, at this point what the result will be essentially of saying house republicans, you're the one who blocked this even while it's still there

keep in mind, james lankford when he started negotiating this in the senate, we started this in late september, first of october. the white house didn't even engage with the senate or james lankford until the week before christmas. >> senator mullen says once the white house got involved the budget process went off track and republicans could not accept it. now, congress has passed its latest short-term spending bill thursday to prevent a partial government shutdown at the end of the week to give lawmakers a week for their funding disagreements, to put a mildly. democrats providing most of the votes and republicans were roughly split in the measure. in senate lawmakers approved 77-13. house speaker mike johnson says republicans were trying to turn the aircraft carrier back to real budgeting and spending reform not easy to do that. johnson says he tried to negotiate the bills individually, 12 in all, of course, rather than wrapping into a single sprawling, take it or leave it omnibus bill which lawmakers for years have complained about thousands of pages of text dropped in the middle

we blocked the terrible lankford amnesty bill in the united states senate. needed spending cuts. we blocked mitch mcconnell desire to deficit spending to fund nations of oceans way but we punted on chronically needed reforms for the abuse of the fisa process for americans who are being spied on. we blocked more money to ukraine for now and we punted kevin mccarthy who authorized $115 billion to ukraine thate now see flashing around the money laundering capitals of the world. we shouldn't have any foreign aid to any other country without corresponding cuts to our own bloated federal governments. israel, fine, pay for it by defunding the united nations. i want t u.n. to be zero doubt in our budget. the u.s. should be out of the u.n. and the u.s. should be out of the u.s. how about that? how about take the money away from the- attacking and killing israelis? seems like a good also. i know we've heard a lot about alexei navalny is death recently, tragic. you should be allowed to post the ruling party in your country without risk of poison or prison or death but

. >> and here's what republican senator james lankford, said about the border security bill that he, personally negotiated before donald trump ordered him to abandon his own bill. >> but, also remind, folks during the trump administration we also had days of more than 4000 people who are illegally across the border out of the trump administration in 2019 and they were struggling, because there's gaps and loopholes in the. law >>, assess, republicans were gonna press conferences and complain the putter spied, and then intentionally leave it open after the worst month in american history in december. now we've got to actually determine, are we gonna complain about? things are we gonna address the changes, many things as we can. >> senator langford's partner, in negotiations for that bill democratic senator chris murphy said today that the border is a moneymaking grievance machine for republicans. that's all. period. stop. keeping it a problem raises the money dries ratings and helps them win elections. they don't want to fix it that is what they killed the bipartisan border bill. we ne

keep in mind, james lankford if, when he started negotiating this in the senate, we started this in later, first of october. the white house didn't even engage with the senate or with james lankford until the week before christmas. the bill before that, that we had negotiated a little bit with kyrsten sinema and a bipartisan manner was pretty workable. i think it was something that would have got a lot of things done that we need to do that reversed the executive orders that biden put in place day one. but when the white house got involved, they started insisting on things that we just couldn't accept. i mean, we saw the package out there. my thing when i go into negotiating is i want 110%, i'll negotiate down to 70 and walk away at 69. this wasn't even 50-50. this was leaning way towards what the democrats wanted, and that was to not secure the border. keep in mind, they've had three years to secure the border. in the first hundred delay -- days, president biden reversed all the policies that trump had in place, and when trump was in office, we had one of the most secure borders we've h

that nodding two-second shot of james lankford agreeing with the president on that point could be put into campaign ads suggesting that democrats are there with solutions, republicans are there only with rhetoric. i think there was a pretty good sign of relief among democrats that the president framed the issue this those terms. republicans on the other hand, are making the point that joe biden brought up the issue of immigration something like 40 or 41 minutes into the speech, suggesting that to him it is a low priority. stylistically, i suppose, but the meat was there and the political effort to flip this around as an attack on republicans is something that democrats are going to embrace as this campaign heats up. >> susan, here is the part that victoria referenced where president biden really tried to contrast himself with trump on this issue. let's take a listen. >> i will not demonize immigrants saying they are poisoning the blood of our country. i will not separate families. i will not ban people because of their faith. unlike my predecessor in my first day of office, i have bil

when the president talks about the bipartisan immigration reform bill, led by james lankford, and they start booing it and shaking their head, what are they booing about? what is speaker johnson shaking his head about? he knows what happened. he called for immigration reform, got it from the senate, and now won't take it up. he's in a box, like you said. >> in a box. why is he shaking his head when joe biden talks about january 6th being such a dark day? when he talks about the big lie. speaker johnson was, again, one of the key proponents of on the house floor. liz cheney wrote all about it. how do you not stand up when the president of the united states says you want to buy american. you shake your hand at that, buying america? oh, oo-la-la, what a campaign this is going to be. jonathan lemire, i have to say, we have to keep going back to it. joe biden underestimated time and time again. we were having this same conversation after the state of the union last year. people going, oh, maybe, maybe he's not too old. maybe he's not. same now. it'll be the same going into the fall. i mean,

to compare what's in this spending bill to that bible partisan bill that republican senator james lankford put out last month that one would have actually provided more funding for border security it would include more than half $1 for the border wall, which is something yet republicans have demanded. it would have funded 50,000 detention beds as opposed to 40,000 on top of that, it would have expedited deportations, crackdown on asylum claims, limited humanitarian parole also allow the president to shut down the border of crossings past a certain number >> and >> it would have provided $60 billion in funding for ukraine, which had badly needs right now. why support this bill? when that bill went so much further and did so many things that republicans have been asking for, for a long time >> valid and legitimate question, boris, but what you failed to mention in that list of very positive reforms and including the ukraine assistance that i support. what it didn't, what would it also included was codifying the illegal crossings it it it surge 7 billion that that so-called bipartisan border

it didn't seem like senator lankford was chip set to be seen on camera hitting his own party. he's spent months crafting that bill, that former president donald trump in part helped torpedo. meantime, as you watch this congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, who see here in the hat engaged in what would be one of several spirited exchanges >> you don't like that, phil? dr. server, it has got together and said it was a good bill i'll be darned. that's amazing. you say, whoa, look at the facts >> i know i know you know, how to read >> president biden mentioned the support that that bill had from the border patrol union, including its leader who has been a vocal supporter of donald trump's, was with him at the border in recent days, the president of the national border patrol council braided judge, joins me now. great to have you here. you heard what president biden that about this deal. the perimeters of it reminding everyone in the room of it tonight, but everyone at home. what do you make of how he addressed immigration tonight? >> i was incredibly disappointed. instead of annou

especially when it comes to the border, the second most conservative senator in the senate, james lankford, wrote a border bill that the president worked on and agreed to sign into law. but when donald trump said it needed to be killed, every republican in the house essentially said, don't bring it here for a vote. and so the president really, i think, should urge the congress to do what people do at home every day, which is work together, collaborate, and get things done, because we really have no other choice for so many of these urgent and important matters. >> speaking of trump, he did well on super tuesday, apparently going to be the republican nominee and you know, looking at this look, he is only three years younger. but somehow president biden's 81 years of age is a greater concern for voters in polls. you yourself, when you ran for president, called on mr. biden to pass the torch. and that was when he was four years younger. how do you now make the case that biden should keep the torch? >> well, first, you know, a number that is higher than 81 is 91, and that's the number of felon

i respectfully believe that what senator lankford put forward was as tough a border deal as could get congress and next congress because unless there is a, you know, 80 member shift one way or the other in either political part. politics is the art of the possible. i think it was a good deal. i agree with marco we need to get the money to china and taiwan. we need to get the money to humanitarian and for israel. but i think the issue that i have been -- is most wrapped around is if we walk away from the people of ukraine at this point, after in the last two years the ukrainians with our help and the europeans' help literally the cost of less than 3% of our defense budget have eliminated 87% of the russian preinvasion ground force, 63% of the tanks, 32% of the armored personnel carriers if we don't stand by ukraine right now, the rest of the world should never trust us again. this notion that these authoritarian nations are watching each other, people say xi is a threat and don't believe if presidents putin is successful in ukraine and that will put nato and american troops in harm's w

i tried to throw a few hail maries along the way and i'm glad we blocked the bad lankford bill but punted on needed fisa reforms and blocked the mcconnell supplemental for now but punt again on needed spending cuts. we blocked additional aid and additional u.s. involvement in this war in ukraine and indeed punted kevin mccarthy who authorized $115 billion to ukraine. but here we gather to punt yet again. last i checked, the republicans actually have a majority in the house of representatives but you wouldn't know it if you looked at our checkbook because we are all too willing to continue the policy choices of joe biden and the spending levels of nancy pelosi instead of showing the will and the courage to say that this woke and weaponized government has to be defanged, it has to be attacked and see reductions in spending. while many americans have lived most of their lives not actually paying a price for the national debt because we are $34 trillion in debt, because we are on our way to $50 trillion in debt, the americans who work hard all over this country are seeing higher gas prices, h

senator lankford, you recognize for your questions. >> thank you, all of you.the folks on the ground. i want to talk a little bit about the permitting piece of need to try to work on with federal permitting? post wildfire or pre-wildfire that needs to be done? any ideas on this argument? anyone can jump in on this. >> i can start on that and ques i think it is permitting reform of the alignment. clearing indexes that we need to receive. there are issues with contracting. >> what is the -- yeah. so knee path -- neepa often gets held up on litigation. that work that gets done on the ground. takes a lot of staff time and a lot of money. >> is this post-fire or pre- fire? >> is the issue there for neepa the litigation around it or what needs to be resolved? >> it is the procedures we need to go through that get held up in litigation in order to get the projects done. and so working on those to find more efficiencies to that process would be the best thing to avoid being held up in litigation. that takes a lot of staff time and it takes away from working done on the
