but you can do that using the right tools and the lankford sinema bill that he did kill would have done that the border patrol agents endorsed it. these are folks who know what needs to be done, but he's not interested in solving the problem what democrats need to do is acknowledge and he has ginned up fear, but our border can work better. it doesn't. there's no reason someone seeking asylum, which we will always be a guiding light for, shouldn't have to wait seven years to halve that adjudicated. that's why this bill would have made it 90 days and people either got it or they were remote and i think seeing a plan that's out there talking about it with folks knowing that he's not going to do anything. he talks about this wall. >> i always say, let me know how high it is if it's 25 feet and i'll invest in the 30 foot ladder factory that's not how you stop this. >> you stop this using electronics. you stop it using more border control agents and you stop it by having a legal system dm, that allows for that tradition of allowing folks to come here, just like my relatives dead to come here,

would you join me this morning in welcoming senator james lankford to the podium.de let us rejoice -- >>u. and be glad in it. >>ma i'm gauging how much coffee you've already had by the volume of your response on that. some of you need to go back to get more bean juice in you to be able to get that going. i appreciate tim's introduction but that either excites you that youth pastor is in the senate or terrifies you depending on the relationship with the youth pastor i need to set you at ease now that he's mentioned that so the background on that. i do not drive like the senators van and pick everybody up in the morning. i don't bring pizza to every event. we do occasionally have lock-ins but they're not lock-ins that i actually sponsor on that. so that's -- that all of that is not true. i have to say, it is an incredible joy to beo able to serve in the united states senate. but there was nothing like standing in falls creek watching thousands of studentse come to christ every single summer.

lankford: i'm standing today at not my desk location.nding at my senior senator's desk location. this was the location for jim inhofe's desk two years ago when he retired from the senate. and as you've heard from multiple different members today, he'll be deeply missed. i still have a moment every time someone says the senior senator from oklahoma, and they're speaking to me, that i turn around and look for jim. because he'll be sorely missed. jim was my friend, he was my colleague, he was a mentor, he was a person to be able to work side by side with. our staffs worked very well together because we chose to work well together and to be able to get things done for our state of oklahoma. my task today is to tell a little bit of a story. i can't do that in a few minutes, but i'm going to try to give as much as i can. james mountain inhofe -- and everyone loved that middle name of his, james mountain inhofe was actually born in iowa in 1934. his parents perry dyson inhofe and his mom blanche feebie mountain. that's where the mountain came f

caller: he brought up the comment about senator coons and senator lankford. two people who came up with a bill that allows 5000 people a day to come into this country illegally. you tell me that is a bill? furthermore, talking about immigrants. how many more people have to be murdered? how many more people have to be raped before you get off of this kick and say do we need these illegal murderers? host: just for the point of fact, we know from multiple studies that immigrants are less likely to commit crime and when immigrants move into neighborhoods the crime rate goes down. we can find immigrants who are terminals and i think we should be worried that we are not fitting people well enough at the border to know when people come across who could have a criminal record. that is a real problem. overall immigrants, including those are unauthorized have a much lower propensity for crime than nativeborn americans. we should be worried about those who are born here. on the bill that was out there, it would not allow 5000 people a day. once it hit 5000 a day it allo

lankford: thank you, mr. president.l had the opportunity yesterday to be able to hear benjamin netanyahu speak to a joint association of congress -- joint session of congress. it's actually the fourth time that benjamin netanyahu has spoken to congress. this particular ini have tags was different, though. they're in a time of war. it's much more heightened than it has been for a long time. he came in a very serious tone to be able to tell america and americans thank you for standing with us as israel. and the second thing i heard from him over and over again is, don't forget why we are in this war. the introduced hostages that had been released. he introduced families that their loved ones are still hostages. he introduced members of the idf that have lost limbs and fought against terrorism. he reminded americans more than 1,200 people died on october 7 last year when 253 people were taken hostage at that time. this war would be over right now if hamas would release their hostages. this is not a war that israel started.

there were four senators, barrasso, lankford, kramer and blackburn. and for the first time speaking since that live on television now is senator marsha blackburn on the committees of judiciary and veterans affairs. they do owe us answers. did you get any? >> no, we did not. and i how outstanding it was she was comfortable in the luxury street having a cocktail party saying thank you to people that had helped fund security. harris, she would not take five minutes and provide answers for the people. and we were trying to get answers on the phone call. how could the secret service allow their protectee, president donald trump to take the stage at 6:00 when at 5:51 they identified a potential threat. 5:53 they alerted spotters and sharpshooters and 6:00 they clear him to go on stage? she is more concerned about donors than she is about the people of this country and the president? i think it speaks to the priorities and the tone deafness. >> harris: i want to talk about just why she was here. so what you now are breaking down for us is she came to thank -

behind him it is not only senator ted cruz, but james lankford. once scorned by trump showing up in his box, james lankford most recently was known as a man who negotiated this bipartisan border bill. it would've been one of the most restrictive border bills in american history actually, so immigration advocates were staunchly opposed to it and some democrats. there were some democrats who met him in the middle, like james lankford, sitting directly behind ted cruz. it was donald trump himself who torpedoed that bill according to reports by calling up other republicans and telling them to vote against that bill associated by senator langford. it doesn't matter to senator langford. he showed up along with ted cruz and other folks who at one point were not in the best graces of president trump to be here tonight. >> jacob soboroff, have you talked to any interesting folks tonight? we have seen that what gets the crowd going is anything anti- immigration. we did not hear a lot of sort of testosterone from j.d. vance yesterday, but that seems like it

james lankford was the guy pushing it from oklahoma. it angered democrats. but it didn't go anywhere, because donald trump started making calls to lawmakers saying i don't want this bill to go to the floor, i don't want this to pass. this is the sort of thing i'm running on, and i'm going to fix it when i get into the white house. i will note, there was no immigration reform while donald trump was in office. he had control of the house, the senate, the presidency. no immigration bill got to the floor. there was chants of "build the wall." some of it did get built, but there was no immigration reform. here's what they're proposing. steven miller wants to deport a million immigrants a year. i asked whether there will be exceptions for maybe someone who's lived here for all their lives or most of their lives, the dreamers, will they be separating families? they don't answer that question directly. eric trump didn't, at least the other day. but it is a popular chant, a popular talking point, and it works certainly for people in this room. >> the fact that the bo

majority, in the next term, whoever is president, the bill negotiated between chris murphy and jim lankfordis a good strong security bill. it has lots of goo resources in it. more resources, good judges, changing the asylum law that do not a change in my judgment, not just a change in regulation. and that's just a starting point on how to reform the broken system in the next term, whoever the president is. >> let me ask you about joe biden who is facing increased pressure to step aside. what do you think he should do? you worked with him. >> i did when he was vice president, and i consider president biden to be a friend. i hope he considers me a friend. i won't presume to tell him, or suggest to him what he should do. it's a very political and personal decision. but if president biden decides to step aside, i will be very happy for him. to me, it would be a liberation of sorts for him. and almost, literally, a new lease on life. people will not be scrutinizing every time he steps off an airplane. how he walks, what he does with his arms and his hands and his speech in every interview. and a

the conservative senator lankford who is on record saying, yeah, donald trump blew this up. bsent this, though, if we did not have this bill in place, you're absolutely right, this issue would be a very difficult one for the vice president to navigate. but she has a safe harbor, because the administration, working with very conservative member of the united states senate crafted a bill, orchestrated the ground game behind it to get the votes, not just in the senate, but in the house. and donald trump killed it. so, to trot out this now to say, hey, you know, they're weak on immigration, we had a bill, you killed it, tell us why you killed the bill. that would be my question to donald trump on the stage. >> the answer, he already gave, right? he said i told them to kill that bill. interesting, because that bill was as you very keenly remind us was in -- it was created in conjunction with the white house, yes, and the senators, but that are extremely conservative in so many ways, but like even senators like padilla and others were against that bill. >> exactly. exactly. >> it

>> jim lankford. >> yeah, lankford.h in on that piece and we'll get to the energy. >> as you well know, nicolle, having been in a few campaigns yourself, you do not win a campaign on defense. you win a campaign on offense. and the prosecutor is the person in the courtroom that is responsible for the offense. they have to produce the evidence. she is comfortable in this role. she is, in fact, prosecuting the case against donald trump. the case why she would be better in terms of immigration than he would. we know that he talked a big talk the first time he ran, he's going to build a wall, mexico was going to pay for it, he had complete control of government for two years and didn't get squat done. didn't try to present a bill that would have done the things that the bill that trump blocked would have done. >> right. >> and so the fact that she's going on offense on this really important. and, frankly, maybe the most important thing she's doing right now, that and channeling the energy that organically is coming from the

senators -- senators black burn, a lankford, barrasso and cr a amer, confronted the head of the secret service involving the attempted trump assassinationsome. >> right. i just was with senator barrasso, usually one of the most calm, collected people you know, and last night is about as intense as i've seen himful we had just gotten off an hour-long conference call with the secret service where they basically spent an hour saying nothing. and, look, someone's got to be held accountable here. how in the world did they let the known suspect be noticed an hour before the shooting? he had some type of range finder with him, very good purposes for a range finder there in those type of is circumstances. what we're uncovering is there's a cultural issue within the secret service. half the the secret service officers have quit over the past year. something more is going on than just this one incident. and thanks to the miracle of god, president trump's still alive. elizabeth: yeah, he's saying he appreciates god even more, that it's changed his outlook on life. let's show the viewer this washi

. >> speaking of border policy, governor cox, you know i'm sure senator james lankford longtime conservative state of oklahoma helped lead a bipartisan effort to come up with a proposal that would be acceptable to both sides. it involves getting the president the president the authority to cut off all immigration for a time, makes it harder to grant legal asylum. as we know that's been rejected. what happens now? when something that's been led by someone in the heart, at the heart of conservative thinking doesn't work. >> it's incredibly frustrating. i don't know what else to say. this is a very complicated issue when we try to simplify it, and i think both sides do this a little too much. there is so much more the president could be doing right now, and there's so much that congress needs to do as well. congress has kicked the can down the road now for 40 years, and continues to do so. even that when i think it's just illustrative of how broken our caucus is right now. yes, i understand the way it happened and who is responsible for doing the negotiation, but those negotiations happened beh

state representative randy finds herself because her chairman jason smith finished james lankford was here representative ashley hinton my neighbor from iowa and chairman michael burgess from the great state of texas. i also want to make note that the israeli ambassador say this entire program. [applause] and again i want the ambassador to note israel is with us not just in our thoughts and not just in our prayers but in everything in her actions to make sure israel has what it needs to do to destroy hamas to emerge as a prosperous magnificent jewish homeland which is so important to all of us in the united states certainly with donald j. trump is present will be with you every inch of the way. thank you to the ambassador. ladies and gentlemen give yourselves a round of applause. now you can talk eneille can eat and have some fun. enjoy, thank you very much. .. on wednesday israeli prime nister benjamin netanyahu will address a joint meeting of ngress. his first visit to the u.s. since the hamas attack on israel on october 7. many demratic members of ngress to plan to boycott their sp

>> i was there, barrasso, james lankford and marsha. larry: so that's four u.s.know that's not impressive -- larry: it's four u.s. senators, period. full stop. she says it's not appropriate to talk? tom whom is it appropriate -- >> well, that was the question i asked along the whole route, through the mezzanine, up the stairs into the broom closet they all shoved her into -- larry: you look exhausted, i can tell. >> i don't mind telling you. but the point is that there's a tremendous lack are of which has been well earned in our secret service and particularly the leadership. not the rank and file, but the leadership. larry: yes. >> there was a major problem, security breach problem here, and we're asking the most obvious question. marsha articulates it perfectly, and they tonight want to answer it. larry: congressman, also i'm reading today local police, local police told the secret service they could not secure that building where this punk kid crawled up on top of it. they were told that. so let's get this right. there was a threat before the event happened, a

. >> senator lankford. >> i totally agree. i don't think you can have 10 parties solve it. yet to have integrity in the process on it as well. people have to be able to engage they need to be able to vote on a. i look at so many countries around the world that upper parliament and they walked 10 or 11 parties on it and say that works really smooth but that coalition is chaotic as well. now you just have chaotic coalitions that actually have to be formed to get anything done. at the end of the day you have to determine whether you will really get stuff done and you have to stop attacking people that you disagree with sometimes but also agree with sometimes. that fellow american is not my enemy. we disagree on things but we disagree on things but let's figure it out like grownups do on this. i will be brief on this, years ago, the author from san antonio , a pastor and he tells a story about going fishing with some friends. they were in an rv, they go out to fishing place to get there and it's pouring down rain so they just play card games all day. the next day they play card

kevin to go on offense to say, look at this great bipartisan border deal that remember senator james lankford, a the conservative oklahoma republican very conservative. >> yes. >> and that deal? so they can point fingers and say accurately that former president donald trump told his allies in congress, i don't want this before the election. i don't want democrats to get a win at the expense of my man so john, the border, which is at it's a mess. so they tried to fix them hill that would hurt him. and i think that is legitimate point. the question is in the eyes of voters and voters who might not be following politics at closing this is, we are in dc. do they understand the nuances of these dc debates? that's what the harris campaign is going to have to get into their minds and convinced it's easier if you don't have to explain a lot of steps. all right steph thanks. thank you so much for being here up next, heightened fears of a full scale war after top hamas political leader is assassinated in iran plus gymnastics gold for the us women's team leader report straight ahead the moments that sha

reply by saying, well, you look, there was a bipartisan border deal that the most conservative james lankford from oklahoma had, had helped get, get together and trump put the kibosh on it because he didn't want biden to have a win well, anything that could be perceived as a win during an election year, even if it would be beneficial and help the problem of illegal immigration yeah. yeah. i think that's an important argument and a compelling argument that democrats can make because you're, you're really putting the ball back in the republicans court and saying, you know, if you believe this is a serious issue, you believe this is a serious problem, puts syria solutions on the table, but you don't, you haven't donald trump has been at the forefront of ensuring that this is simply a political game for republicans. and we know that voters don't like that. they don't like what to feel like their elected officials are not working in good faith to try to solve problems. and i think by polling that bill, but that bill down, trump really put on display the fact that he views this as nothing more than

. >> next, a conversation with senators bill cassidy, james lankford, joe manchin, and kyrsten sinemaarding the current state of u.s. politics and their views on bipartisanship and the election process. this was part of a conference hosted by the milken institute in los angeles. it's just over an hour. >> i guess i'm supposed to follow it up, but i don't know what it is, so thank you, everybody, and welcome. we're going to have a wonderful conversation today, and i know that all of the panelists are so well known that they need no introduction. and therefore, they will not receive one. because we're going to jump right in. but i want to tell you something about these people, and why we're having it here. you know, they all have some, a lot of things in common. even though they have very different perspectives on a number of policy issues, they've all been in government service for a long time, from 14 years to over 40 years. three of the four have been elected at the state level before the u.s. level. three of the four had served in the house prior to being in the senate. and somebody

will say is, is that when the biden-harris administration put forth a bill that a very conservative lankford from i believe nebraska oklahoma. thank you. it's late the fourth and said here's a pathway was a conservative support at bill. it was probably going to get through the house on the senate donald trump said, no because i want to play politics we can go for tat for who did this and who did that. but when it comes to people, particularly kamala harris saying to middle middle-class as workers in the beltway are in the midwest, in the sunbelt, i have a plan for you that protects union jobs that kate creates a pathway to the middle class that gives you childcare. we have a plan, donald trump does not. >> let me ask you, ron and bring you in here because i am curious one, how how voters you think might be seeing these two different arguments at literally are optically on the left and right. if you right now on the screen, but also you got somebody who was a bit of a thorn in the side of democrats throughout the tenure that he has been a centered, i'm talking about senator joe manchin, who w

six months ago, if donald trump blocked the most conservative border bill in decades that james lankford negotiated. democrats would be able to flip it on him. the issue donald trump is strongest, that has the most credibility on is border security. now, you've got kamala harris saying, we wanted more cbp officers. we wanted to fight fentanyl. that is actually true. they were willing to support that bill and donald trump decide not do and republicans stepped in it so bad with that is just beyond me. >> there's no possible way democrats could possibly believe they're going to fight even a draw on the issue of him. i hope they run all their ads on immigration because it will remind the american people every time they turn on their television sets what a complete and utter failure. this has all been i mean, if they were so proud pain was so proud of their record. why is she working so hard to erase all evidence from the internet that she wasn't saying you say it's a dangerous crisis and an existential risk to the public and to national security. >> you have to wait till i'm an office in jan
