Peter Doocy 'Trump is putting escalation on hold' · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Senate Majority web John Barrasso joins us. Now, Senator, we
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: are going to get to the budget bill. But first,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the big news today, the Iran War is not about
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to heat up. According to the New York Times, the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: President is putting on hold plans to sharply escalate American
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: military assault against Iran. The threat to interceptor stockpiles is
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: one of the many considerations that have made a return.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: What do you make of this, Senator.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Well, the President is focused on two things, American safety
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and of course affordability. And Iran is key to this
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: because we need to make sure Iran never gets a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapon, and we need to make sure that the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: straits of hermus are open so oil can flow. With
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the production of oil that we have now in the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: United States, keeping the straits open will keep energy prices
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: down long term. In the United States. Iran has been
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: at war with US for over fifty years. The killing continues,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and sadly, we lost four more so service members this
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: past week, and our heart goes out to them. The
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: President's going to continue to negotiate from a position of strength.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But right now the Democrats in the House and in
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the Senate are trying to tie the President's hands. They
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: are voting against funding for the troops, against the weapons
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: that the troops need. And it's disgraceful what the Democrats
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: are doing now at a time when we need to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: make sure that our troops are fully funded and have
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the resources they need to be the greatest fighting force
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: on Earth.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And it's definitely surprising what you're talking about, that this
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is happening during a wartime that we are actively striking
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: an adversary and the funding is getting held up. The President, though,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: he does have this this other top priority, and it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: was what he was posting about overnight. He says, the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Same America Act needs to get passed before you guys
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: leave for August recess. He also wants you to terminate
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the fills. Is any of that going to happen before
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the recess.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I want to get as much of the Save America
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Act passed as we possibly can. I agree with the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: President as to the American people, you should have to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: be an American citizen to to vote. You should have
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to show a photo ID in order to vote. The
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: President and I talked about this and agreed earlier in
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: this week. And there is a new urgency because of
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: what we saw happening in New Jersey. In New Jersey,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: over six thousand non residents were non citizens were registered
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to vote, and many of them did. And it was
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: because in New Jersey they give driver's licenses to illegal
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: immigrants and then automatically they get registered to vote if
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you get a driver's license. A New Jersey governor says
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: she's shocked, Well, she shouldn't you let ten million illegal
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: immigrants into the country you give them drivers licenses. Of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: course they're going to vote, and it is part of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the Democrat manifesto there manifesto. Once all of these people
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: become citizens and have it right to vote, it's why
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: not a single Democrat in the Senate has voted with
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Republicans for the Save America Act. But common sense people
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: in Wyoming want it passed. I want it passed, and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: we're working to get as much of it done as possible.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And in the context of getting this Save America Act passed,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: there is some rare republican Unrepublican drama happening. The Press
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Secretary went to the podium this Thursday, very critical of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the Senate Majority leader, who then responded, we have the bites.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Look the President spoke about this directly yesterday. His patients
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: is running out. He wants to see as much of
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the Save America past as possible by the August recess.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: He knows that's what the American people want to see passed.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And I believe that we have a bite of John
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Thune that is attached to this, he responded a few
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: minutes later.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe she or someone else how to get on the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: phone and get the votes right. It's fifty around here.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Some finger pointing. My question is simple, which probably makes
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it harder.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Who is right here.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump or John Thune.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Well, the Republicans are all united, were united on is
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: fighting the Democrats who have gone acpoletely off the cliff
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: when you take a look at who's driving their party
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: or united and keeping Americans safe and in making things
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: more affordable. But let's take a look at where the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Democrats are heading in this country. And I know you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: have Mike Rogers on next Republican candidate in Michigan who
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I support. We're running against people who really hate America,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: who want to destroy America. That's what the Democrat Party
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: is right now. They have a manifesto, and their manifesto
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: is to open the borders, to open the prisons, to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: put illegal immigrant criminals into our communities. They actually want
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to eliminate the police and the military terry. They won
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: every illegal immigrant to be a citizen and to vote.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: They're talking about confiscating personal, private businesses, and private property.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And one of these candidates who's going to be a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: member of Congress next time, who won a primary in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a liberal area in New York City, said she didn't
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: have a napkins, so she wipes her hands on the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: American flag. These people are radical, extreme, dangerous, scary. That's
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not what the American people want. It's not what they deserve,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it's not what they demand. And that's why Republicans are
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: going to continue to stay united for freedom, for liberty,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: for American greatness and continue and absolutely that involves passing
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as much of the Save America Act as we possibly can.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: And what you were just talking about some of the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists platform sounds pretty extreme. They actually just said
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: on Fox New Sunday they also want to abolish the Senate,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: abolish Ice, defund the Pentagon, abolish prisons. The makeup of
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the Senate could change a lot in January if any
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of these Democratic socialist candidates get in. How much time
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: do you guys spend talking about this behind closed doors
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at the Senate Republican lunch, we.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Talk about how important it is that we stop these
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: radicals from taking over the country and we win elections
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: all around the country. And it starts in Maine. Well,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you know with Susan Collins, who they pulled down one
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: nominee who was a socialist way out there, but they
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: replaced him yesterday with someone equally as bad. We need
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to continue with Susan Collins in the Senate. And you
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: go all the way to Alaska. Dan Sullivan, a tremendous
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: member of the United States Senate, works very hard for
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the people of Alaska and the country as a military background,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and the Democrats got somebody with the same name to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: get him onto the ballot to confuse the voters in
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: an effort to take that election the other way. This
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: is a critical election, it's a turning point in our country. Well,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you know what the Democrats are going to do if
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: they get a charge. They talk about it. They talk
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: about four new members of the Supreme Court. They're going
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to be young, they're going to be liberal, they're going
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to deny the law. They're going to defy the Constitution.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That's what the Democrats want. They also talk about two
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: new states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, with
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: four new senators. But now you're telling me that these
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Democrats want to get rid of the United States Senate.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It sounds like they want a president appointed by the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: House of Representatives. So these people are dangerous. As I say,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: it's scary. We need to make sure Republicans hold the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: house hold, the Senate so President Trump can continue to
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: focus on American safety, affordability, and continue to make America
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the greatest country in the history of this nation.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And it is kind of a head scratcher that you
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: would run for the Senate on a platform of abolishing
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the Senate. But I digress, Senator John Ratso. A lot
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of people watching this don't realize you and I have
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the same birthday, and it was Tuesday, the twenty first,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So happy belated birthday, and thank you for being here.
