Protecting people who are being persecuted. >> senator, there was an announcement yesterday of major budget deal among your leaders in congress. the president of the united states, theres been some of your colleague who is have voiced concerns about whether that bill gives the president too much latitude in dealing with border wall questions and some of these immigration issues that we have been discussing. are you happy with the deal thats been made and do you have any concerns on that particul...

Tweets on that score. i think at this point our diplomats, you our seasoned professionals should be brought back to the forefront of leading the discussions and talking to the iranians and others and trying to hash out an agreement. we cannot go to war. that is absolutely clear. i and others have included language in the appropriation process making that clear. that were not going to allow funds for offensive hostilities we cant allow that to happen. >> congressman, thank you so much for joini...

Endangered or abuse and this is thestatute. and now, there is a threaten of veto between the house and the senate, and how can you veto this legislation, because you are holding them hostage? >> it is the same president who appropriated billions of dollars to build the wall when there was not even an appropriation process for it. so he has full authority today to divert some of the wall funds to help these children today. and let me tell you the emotional toll on these children having been at pl...

>> not maybe. are a part. why do you say maybe? you mean there are circumstances when a person doesnt need to have a toothbrush, toothpaste and soap for days? >> well, i think in custody its frequently intended to be much shorter terms so it may be for a short earl term stay in custody that some of those things may not be required. >> arent toothbrushes and blankets and medicine, basic conditions for kids arent they a part of how the united states of america, the trump administration, treats chi...

Accounts. congress has clearly given the executive branch authority, sometimes more authority than what they probably should have. but in this particular case, hes accession three separate accounts. two of the three accounts he wouldnt even need the emergency declaration for in order to access. so hes got access to several billion dollars, matter of fact, $600 billion out of a treasury fund. hes got access to another $2.5 billion to a fund he doesnt need to declare emergency on. but did he decla...

The argument, you gave me $1.4 billion last fiscal year, why cant you give me at least that much money this next fiscal year and help me build an additional 55 miles of border wall. it will be a tough argument i think for those in congress who voted against this legislation to say well, were not going to give it to you this year because we gave something to you last year and thats going to be the argument i think the white house will make when the fiscal year begins, october 1st of this year. er...

This may be the next crisis that is coming, democrats i have talked to, they are split on this next step of if the president goes around congress to get more money for the wall. if you declare a national emergency to the side because that would face a legal challenge, if it was looking for pots of money through an executive order, some say it is something the legislative branch would have to deal with. i want you to listen to this threat levelled yesterday if the president went that route. >> ft...
