arkansas senator tom cotton says this is a moment in time for this administration to use it as leverage the iranian people and don't give the iranian leadership more money for nuclear deal. here's what he said yesterday on sunday morning futures. watch this. >> this is a moment to stand with the people of iran, yet joe biden is doing in these protests exactly what barack obama did in the super of 2009 during the green revolution protest, he is standing idlely by. he doesn't want to offend the ayatollahs as he's trying to pursue this reckless nuclear deal. maria: instead of standing with the people of iran, goa he goa is strengthening the da -- joe biden is strengthening the hand of the iranian leadership by agreeing to an iran deal. your thoughts. >> we have three major problems around the world happening at the same time, whether it's china in the south seas, whether it's ukraine, a very dangerous situation or whether it's iran and the nuclear deal that the administration is working on. once again, i keep saying. i feel like we're living in the carter administration when the iranians w

arkansas senator tom cotton joined me on sunday on sunday morning futures to look at this as a potentialsays, look, this administration should be taking advantage of the fact that the people are out chanting death had to the supreme leader but instead the administration is doing the opposite. watch this. >> this is a moment to stand with the people of iran, yet joe biden is doing in these he protests exactly what barack obama did in the summer of 2009 during the green revolution protest, he is standing idlely by because he doesn't want to offend the ayatollah as he's trying to pursue this reckless nuclear deal. maria: general, your thoughts on that deal? is it close? and a is this a point to stop and reayou sees with -- reassess with all of these people in the streets? >> well, certainly the deal is stalled but clearly iran is moving towards a nuclear weapon with or without a deal and we're on a glide path to a collision certainly with likely a mill hey option out of israel, somewhat supported clan decdestinely by e united states. in terms of the protests, right below the surface for yea

senator tom cotton sees this pattern. >> it's another horrifying string of crimes in memphis.emphis deserve much better than what they have gotten from city government in just the last few days have you seen these crimes and reflective of crime going back to memphis. reflective of crime in cities across america. we have gotten to this point because of failures to treat criminals as the criminals they are. killers like we have seen tonight are depraved sociopaths. they need to be locked up or executed. that's the way to keep our citizens safe from these criminals. >> brian: this has got to be a major political issue. if you don't bring this up be and running for any significant office, that is criminal. number two, i think the other thing to follow up on is the fact that this guy, when he was in the police car, there is pictures of him smiling. >> carley: smiling. >> brian: he was having a great time. you understand there is people in this world they don't warrant sympathy and empathy. that is one of them look at that shot he would have killed more. >> carley: bragging about it

we talk with senator tom cotton about that as well as iran.had to the supreme leader. you would think the administration might want to use this moment in time in iran as leverage but instead they're about to make the leadership in iran's hand that much stronger with a nuclear deal. and then there's carrie lake, running for governor of arizona a. did you hear what liz cheney said about carrie lake? she said liz cheney said she will do anything in her power not to let carrie lake get -- become the governor of arizona and yes, that does include campaigning for democrats. we'll get into it. and of course, the gop has answers, the commitment to america, steve scalise will walk us through what is in the package and why they're making a case to voters with 40 plus days away from the midterm elections. we have breaking news coming up. we'll see you in 10 minutes. rachel: the interview with carrie lake i'm so excited about it. carrie lake, liz cheney. i'm excited to see this interview. thanks a lot, maria. you know him from songs like beer's on me and

you heard what tom cotton said, this is a moment to use as a leverage point according to cotton and aadership of iran the money to get itself out of this move that it's in with these protesters on the street. but that's not what this administration is doing. >> right. well, this is a critical moment i think for biden's policy toward iran and i'm not sure that the biden administration has a good sense of how to handle this situation and it's in a real dilemma. on the one hand, if it identifies very closely with iranian protesters, there's very little likelihood that a deal on the jcpoa is going to come through. on the other hand, if it does make a deal with this iranian regime on this nuclear program, it's going to be seen as essentially indulging a regime that is repressing this protest movement and that movement is likely to intensify over time. there's a great deal of unhappiness among the iranian people over the the t theocratc regime and it's likely the regime will crack down brutally. i think the biden administration is they a i did re--- in a dilt now. maria: there was a woman w

. >> my friend tom cotton mentioned my name. may i make a small response? >> without objection. >> first of all i do not object to scheduling. fentanyl has been scheduled it is scheduled. your type of dimensional analogs we should be specific about that. scientific community has said we should test things before we schedule them. but you've won for the last four years of fentanyl analogs have been temporarily scheduled. so what you're saying is not true. the second thing i want to say is four years of doing what you want to do which is permanently scheduled four years of scheduling fentanyl is actually not seen the response we want. we are seeing this overwhelming fentanyl crisis. and mr. chairman were trying to do the same things we've been doing that because the mass incarceration the first place but did not make a safer as we have sent the problem of fentanyl. i am happy to work on a real solution right now again for the record fentanyl is scheduled. fentanyl analogs are scheduled. and the crisis is getting worse. so we know there are a lot of things we

i would never accuse my colleague, tom cotton, of not caring about dead children. now we both have hearts, i know your hard. so accuse me of that is outrageous. i've literally run a city where people are dying from these drugs, and while i'm here, often, is the same thing we've been doing for 25 years and the drug war that are just increasing incarceration, not helping, what we're gonna hear from people here, or who are addicted. let's find real solutions and stop accusing ourselves of partisan warfare, of things that just aren't true. right now, fentanyl is scheduled. we've been extending that scheduling over and over again. this problem is getting worse. i love to work with my colleagues on things that are actually going to solve the problem. not just the rhetoric that it's is partisan left right debates, but don't actually work for saving the lives that we need to save. i'm tired of this ridiculous partisanship. let's solve problems, not start accusing each other of not having hearts. you are good man, i'm a good man. let's see if we can come together and actual

tom cotton says biden should transfer the plan to cancel the loan debt to taxpayers, but the president is defending the spending as recently as yesterday. >> and by the way, when you hear your republican friends or anybody else tell you boy, they are spending a lot of money, guess what, we cut the deficit this year by over $1 trillion this year. >> the committee for responsible federal budget calls that a moot point because the student loan debt cancellation wipes out more than double the amount of deficit savings from the inflation reduction act that they are celebrating here today. john. >> john: nobody wants to talk about that either, all right. jacqui heinrich, thanks. sandra. >> sandra: bring back in democratic congresswoman debbie dingle, we are going to get back to the white house, a briefing soon where likely, welcome to you, by the way, congresswoman, likely will see the white house pressed on what's the celebration, 8.3% inflation today, 1.4% when president biden took office. and this is an opportunity for republicans to remind voters just how wrong this white house has been.
