Blindsided when their plan to prevent the department of Homeland Security from shutting down was defeated. 52 conservatives voted no because the funding bill didnt also stop the president S Immigration plan. In the end, a bill did pass to fund the Homeland Security department for one week which means once again in just a few days were going to be facing another shutdown. I was reporting from the capitol friday night and had exasperated veteran republican lawmakers say things to me like how are we supposed to govern . They were at a loss with how to control their own right flank. At a time when American Security couldnt be more important. Joining me now is a conservative from that right flank at the heart of all of this, republican congressman jim jordan who is the chairman of the House Freedom caucus formed earlier this year to advocate for conservative legislation. Congressman, thank you very much for joining me. I want to ask the first question that everybody out there is probably as
Totally is whether or not to support these iran talks that the administration is engaged in or whether to use their legislative power to try to stop or amend them. Thats what the Prime Minister is going to be trying to convince them of here but it is also something that the administration is trying to Push Congress on in a different way. Thats why its going to be fascinating. When it comes to just the optics only about 30 members of actually going to boycott the speech. I say only because a lot more are unhappy with it but we have decided its better to go and be polite and sit and listen and not make more of a protest than that tomorrow. Lets head to the white house now. President obama will not appear with Benjamin Netanyahu in any way. Jim acosta i want to know do you think hell be watching netanyahus speech . Its on television. It certainly is on the president s schedule. Hes due to get his National Security briefing at this time. Perhaps hell be in that meeting opposed to watching

A new chapter or the same old . Our experts weigh in. Also in yemen, militants seize the president ial palace. Reporter do you believe the president is still in control of the country . A National Security crisis for the u. S. The immediate worry, the safety of several hundred American Embassy workers. An embassy vehicle already shot at. The question now, what should the United States do next . Lets talk. Live in the cnn newsroom. And good morning. Im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. We start this morning with major breaking news stories from around the globe. First to tel aviv where police in israel are investigating a terror attack.

World of both perils we must meet with strength and skill and opportunities we must seize and build on. The next president will sit down at that desk and start making decisions that will affect both the lives and livelihoods of every american and the security of our friends around the world. So we have to get this right. As aipac members, you understand that while the turmoil of the middle east presents enormous challenge and complexity, walking away is not an option. Candidates for president who think the United States can outsource middle east security to dictators or that america no longer has Vital National interests at stake in this region are dangerously wrong. It would be a serious mistake for the United States to abandon our responsibilities or cede the mantle of leadership for global peace and security to anyone else. As we gather here, three evolving threats. Irans continued aggression, a rising tide of extremism across a wide arc of instability, and the growing effort to del
Security council before us. They fail to recognize that this friend, the United States of america, that has done more to support israel than any other country. This friend that has blocked countless efforts to delegitimize israel, cannot be true to our own values or even the stated Democratic Values of israel. And we cannot properly defend and protect israel if we allow a viable twostate solution to be destroyed before our own eyes.
