Go back to sanctions. so i ran has used the leverage that basically available. the sort of tax on tankers, the attacks on the u.s. drone and the escalation in its nuclear activities in an effort to push the united states back, get the trump administration to relent on sanctions. that deadline for somebody to sort of provide economic relief to iran, that deadline is sunday but it wont be met, julie. >> its a lot of talk. you tweeted this. i want to put it on the screen. a great point. excellent e...

Pact as it was ratified was a good deal? >> yes, it was. >> it was imperfect, but it was a good deal for that moment. i would have worked to get longer sunset periods and thats something we can negotiate to get back in the deal. the point is, donald trump told us when he got out of it, he was going to give us a better deal. those were his words. we are a month away from the iranians who claim now they are going to blow the caps on enriching uranium, and the iranians have told us this. so thats w...

Plutonium bombs, with the reactors. i think the president is going to have to strike iran eventually. he does not need permission from congress to do so. i hope it doesnt come to that. but the iranians seem to be uncontained here. >> some conservative national security senators marco rubio, ted cruz, tom cotton urging president trump to increase pressure on the nuclear program. is that a smart move, james? >> he should, and i agree with christian that the iran deal, president obama negotiated, w...

Biden, but i think, you know, over the course of the next few weeks, were going to see her try to take maximum leverage from that window that the debates got her, biden try to get back on track and both scramble for fund-raising because when you look at president trumps fund-raising numbers, like a fight over busing compared to how do you get to $105 million is -- those are two really different issues. >> congressman, i wonder what you think watching all of this. because both of these candidates...

The united states. iranians do not want that. this is all ab leverage to get economic relief. i think it will be a small increase to do that. the united states should not overreact to that. call them out, warn them of the seriousness of walking down this path that they intend to walk down. if they get close to weapons grade, theres a red line waiting for them by the israelis and ourselves. dont overreact to something right now thats not all that significant. the iranians would want that reaction...

Iran has deliberately violated the 2015 nuclear pact. your thoughts. >> so i think we should keep in mind that while iran has threatened to increase their levels of enrichment come july 7, which was the threat made in may, iran is no producing weapons grade uranium and has not threatened to go as high as 90% in the near term. what they have said theyre going to do, theyre no longer going to abide by the jcpoa. so if i had to guess, were going to see i ran, if it does increase, its going to do so...

>> but you have more people now than you used to. >> because there is more traffic at the border. >> so who is to blame for that? >> the law. the way it is operational. congress has failed to act to close the loopholes. >> but what about the funding for all of this. >> they waited 60 days to give the president a supplemental request that addresses the exact humanitarian concerns that were raised in the oig report. >> you spent a whole career and the president cut aid to what is called the northe...
