behind this bill which is interesting but one key republican sponsor of the legislation senator mark kirk has said this of the bell he said quote the american people rightfully distrust iran's true intentions and they deserve an insurance policy to defend against iranian deception during negotiations i mean do you think it's really the case that american people that the american people are very wary of iran's intentions or is this just something he sort of came up on his with on his own we have to remember that this is a man who said that he came to washington and this is almost a direct quote to protect israel. now if i had voted for a senator or representative who said that i would quickly and vote for it because i don't sin my senator or my representative to washington to protect israel that's not supposed to be their primary purpose so just the fact that you quoted kirk is enough to disbelieve him but let's look at this issue from the perspective that i think people like him are looking at it they're saying that the long term interest of israel is served by military action against ira

bob men edez, a democrat and chuck shumer a democrat and lindsay graham and mark kirk republicans, all saying that there needs to be more behind this and more teeth, otherwise the iranians are essentially running away with this and not getting any back in bite to the enrichment that would continue. >> and brett, many people would argue that the sanctions are working and you are right in a point with the iowa rannian regime that came to the table and crying uncle. why does it make sense for the administration to cut a deal? what is the thinking behind that? >> secretary kerry explained it that this is a time to negotiate the bigger deal. that they have explained it. that this enables iran to have breathing room to negotiate the bigger deal and prove to the world that they can come forward with a nuclear program and disclose all they have and then in the end of the line, come up with a big picture plan or deal. critics of this, say you are right, bill, it was working, and this is why they are at the table, they were feeling the heat and economic sanctions and why if you have the boot on

i've got one key republican sponsor of the legislation senator mark kirk has said this in the down he said quote the american people rightfully distrust iran is true intentions and they deserve an insurance policy to defend against iranian deception during negotiations i mean do you think it's really the case american people that the american people are very wary of iran's intentions or is this to something he sort of came up on this with on a sound what we have to remember that this is a man who said that he came to washington and this is almost a direct quote. to protect israel. now if i had voted for senator or representative who said that i would quickly on vote for because i noticed in my senator or representative to washington to protect israel that's not supposed to be their primary purpose. so just a fact she quoted kirk is enough to disbelieve him but let's look at this issue from the perspective that i think people like him are looking at it. they're saying that the long term interest of israel is served by a military action against iran because that's essentially what they'

despite the administration's request, democratic senator robert menendez and republican senator mark kirksay they expect to introduce new sanctions measures as early as this week. iran has warned any new sanctions would nullify the nuclear deal. she can lawmakers have approved a measure that would make insurance plans charge extra fees for covering abortions. could it have dubbed it the right insurance law because it would force women to purchase separate policy writers. to her credit senator gretchen witmer denounced the measure. >> this tells women that were raped and became pregnant they should have thought ahead and bought special insurance for it. by moving forward on this initiative, senate republicans want to essentially require andigan women to plan ahead financially invest in health care coverage for potentially having their bodies violated and assaulted. >> michigan would become the night state to require additional fees for abortion coverage. republican governor rick snyder vetoed a similar measure last -- year, but the new law want require his signature. dozens of protesters g

to work next month, there could be new urgency for legislation pushed by mendendez and republican mark kirk that has 47 co-sponsors from both parties, allowing the talks to continue, but would also ready a new round of sanctions in case iran backs out. kirk telling fox today, quote, if we want dim lomasy to succeed and a world without iran nuclear weapons, we need to make clear to iran leaders that bad faith in negotiation will be met with tough sanctions. republicans have push that legislation over the viament protest from the president and who insisted the deal with iran has teeth. >> we'll know if they are violating the terms of the agreement, they are not allowed to accelerate their stockpile of enriched uranium. >> mendendez agrees with the president to a point but thinks congress needs to be ready. >> it shows congress showing a strong hand to the uraniums at the same time that the administration is seeking a negotiation with them. >> maria harp said talks will resume on monday morning with iran, but a top leader said they want direct talks with the u.s., possibly thinking they can ge

that squares with what republican, mark kirk, cosponsor of a bill that would have tough new sanctionsesn, is saying today. kirk telling fox earlier today, quote, the american people are rightfully distrustful of iran's true nuclear intention and today's news demonstrates why congress needs to pass a nuclear weapon free iran act to protect of protect us from iranian detection. if we want a world without iranian nuclear weapons we need to send the message bad faith will be met with tough sanctions. what they're saying is they have legislation that now has 47 cosponsors, in both parties, who basically want to give diplomacy a chance here but in case iran does pull out of these talks, and that they're showing signs of that today, perhaps -- they would have a tough new round of u.s. sanctions against iran ready, approved by congress, in order to get tough with iran, and so that's going to be a big issue when congress comes back in january. >> what this president's position on how to handle iran even after this deal? >> well, today we have new information from the state department. the spokes

i'm told by a senior senate aide involved in drafting this bill that senators mark kirk, republican, senator bob menendez, a democrat, very involved on the iran issue, will introduce a bill today that would apply new sanctions to iran and here's how it's described. i'm quoting from the aide. it will give the president up to a year potentially to negotiate with iran before sanctions must kick, though sanctions would come back sooner if iran cheats on the deal, plans a terror attack against the u.s. or launches a look-range ballistic missile. a change in here from previous bills, there had been a six-month delay discussed to allow the six-month interim agreement with iran to proceed before sanctions come in. what's significant, and you and i have talked about this a number of times, iran has made it very clear they don't want any new sanctions imposed. the iranian foreign minister said a week ago if that happened, any new sanctions would kill an interim deal. the administration's pushing hard on this, pushing back to keep this from happening. i'm told by the senior senate aide they hav

we have had new reaction from republican senator mark kirk.ll put in new sanctions against iran. the american people are rightfully distrustful of iran's new tensions and it demonstrates why they need to pass the iran act. if we want a world without iranian nuclear weapons, we want to make sure they will be met with the toughest economic sanctions in history. you have top democrats like chuck schumer in new york who are so sponsors of this ledge sligs a slags and you have democrats and republicans totals 47 of them. there need to be new sanctions ready to go in case the deal falls apart. there may be new impetus for the new sanctions because of the news today. what has been the president's stance on iran proving itself. >> he has been pushing back against these new sanctions from capitol hill saying give us more time to downplay the moves by saying this is for doe mess stick political assumption and the president at his year-end news conference a week ago today was asked about this. here is how he framed it. >> precisely because there are cert

i'm told he will continue to pursue sanctions along with senator mark kirk, republican. many according to staff for menendez will come to support them so you have that possibility. but it is a victory and it likely means that the way the senate works, that this will not come to be new legislation until january. the administration bought some time here at least at a minimum. >> the secretary of state was testifying before the house foreign affairs committee today. how did that go? >> that's right. not friendly territory from either party. it shows how deep the rifts are between the administration and many on the hill. kerry was making the case on the hill as he has before that this is the best chance for the administration, for the u.s., to avoid -- to keep iran from getting a bomb, not a perfect chance. in fact, secretary kerry said today that he made clear he has his own serious concerns, serious questions, about iran's commitment, but he says it is the best chance short of military action. here's how he put it to the committee today. >> you want to take a nation to war

but i think there is genuine and serious understanding by people, republicans like mark kirk and democratsnator me 9/11 diss from new jersey, that if sanctions were so successful in at least bringing the iranians to the table, then we probably need to strengthen the sanctions regime to get them to some kind of reasonable final deal. by weakening them, we're signaling to the iranians that they're going to get to keep their nuclear program intact and get rid of those sanctions. jenna: so where do you think is the disconnect? because the president and senate democrats are normally this lockstep. why in this issue are they not? >> well, i think that in some ways the president has simply departed from the policy that he was pursuing for the past two years. and i think this really has upset a lot of, a lot of senate democrats who understood that the only -- if you're going to be serious about iran, you can talk about a military strategy, or you can talk about sanctions strategy. but what the president is doing something else, which is really an engagement strategy and a containment strategy, and

menendez, the chair of the committee on foreign relations and charles schumer, republican senator mark kirks. the bill would choke funding to iran's nuclear program by cutting off its oil sales, it faces an uncertain path because the obama administration urged the senate to hold off introducing iranian sanctions. after the house passed a similar bill in july. ashley: breaking news. oil closing $0.99 at $98.77 a barrel, it is up 1% on the day, crossing above $99 for the first time in two months. this is the second day of gains for crew as you can see. it is also time for your tech minute. hash tag tv is better than movies, the book catching twitter:a true story of money, from japan be trail quite a title, may be coming to your tv screen soon. the book and ians and dows of twitter option by lion's gate, and the author nick build and will write the screenplay and get producer credit. the distributor behind a hundred games and twilight to name a few is up over 85% in the last year and today up another 2.6%. what to share -- buy shares but didn't want to buy a commission? there is an apps for th

republican senator mark kirk, though, telling fox just in the last few moments, quote: the american peopley distrustful of iran's true nuclear intentions, and today's news demonstrates once again why congress needs to pass the nuclear weapon-free iran act to protect us from iranian deception. if we want a world without iranian nuclear weapons, we need to make clear to iran's leaders that bad faith in negotiations will be met with the toughest economic sanctions in history. what senator kirk is referring to, he's the lead republican co-sponsor of a bill we're told now has 47 co-sponsors, both democrats and republicans, that would institute a whole new round of sanctions and have them ready to go if this potential nuclear deal with iran falls apart. the president, as you know, has resisted this legislation saying that if you put new sanctions on the table, iran may walk from the deal. but, leland, if you look at what iran is saying today, their nuclear chief, there's already questions about whether they're really serious about completing this deal. leland: there's been a lot of questions abo

this is why you're seeing senators like robert menendez and mark kirk from illinois move potentiallys early as next week to try to table sanctions that iflegislation there is no real movement on the program in terms of really constraining it, sanctions may kick in. >> do you think the senate leadership will bring those? the reason menendez and kirk and other members -- particularly those two members -- are negotiating is because they're coming up with an approach amid this geneva plan that is workable and is not completely undercut it that creates the right pressure for iran to really negotiate in good faith toward any final agreement. it is not clear when the start date is. it was introduced in late november. the united states and other countries are going to vienna to actually hash out the details. one of the details includes how the i a would do intrusive inspections. another issue is what is the start date? it is not clear when this exactly starts. we will show you some of the details of the plan that was released. as far as the transparency side, how do we know exactly whether -

. >> what he's trying to say is he teamed with senator mark kirk on the right, a republican, and he said let's suspend the thing for an entire year because what happens is, whether you're a republican or democrat, a lot of believe you are insured. many of you are not. when you go to pick up medication, go to the doctor, you're going to find that out on january 2, january 3, whenever you have to go. and that's what he's saying. if we can't have the back end done, if those million people the president says is accurate, you know a portion of those, they have already said these applications are coming in jumbled, so you're going to have a total meltdown if the deductibles and premiums are higher. it is the middle class that will take it in the solar plexis. >> "duck dynasty" phil robertson is breaking his silence. he decided to speak in front of a church group in louisiana. he had this to say. i'm a lover of men and women and went on to say i will not give or back off from my past. this is following the controversial interview he did with gq. we reported over the weekend that during the inte

roskam and my senator, mark kirk, that we should increase sanctions, and that would give us a stronger negotiating stance and draw more concessions from iran. the world needs to be a much safer place for all of us, and the only way to make that a safer place is to stop iran's nuclear capabilities. and mr. speaker, this deal does not do that. i yield back. mr. roskam: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield to the gentleman from arizona, mr. franks, and as he's approaching the microphone, let me make one point and that's something that mr. davis just eye lated. sanctions are working, sanctions that brought the iranians to the table. so think of it this way. you got a hold of a pitbull and you got it and it's a very dangerous animal and it's ferocious. if you let it go it may attack you. why would you ever say, you know what, let's loosen our grip and try this again? it doesn't make any sense. i yield to the gentleman from arizona. mr. franks: well, i certainly thank the gentleman. and mr. speaker, i would suggest there are two components to every threat in terms of national security that this c
