and tim kaine quoted that very statistic, katrina, that you pointed to. well over 60% of americans think a war with iran would be a horrible idea. only 16% support it. there's about 25% who are undecided or say they don't know. but this would be deeply unpopular. and look, i'm an armed services committee member from a very pro-military state. but what my state knows was that 20 years of two wars in the middle east has taught us what president trump has said over and over and over again - that another war in the middle east for the united states now would be a bad idea. saying, look, americans don't want to see the us involved abroad. and there have been other polls as well. that's just one, but it does seem to be that that's the consensus at this point in time. and, you know, in addition to tim kaine's bill in the senate, you have that bipartisan bill in the house as well, with representative massie from kentucky and democratic representative ro khanna from california. so, again, one republican, one democrat, and the same thing - restating, reminding the

in the senate will see a vote on tim kaine war powers resolution sometime this week. i would say before friday. host: our guest is andrew desiderio with punch bowl news. you can start calling now. republicans (202) 748-8001, democrats (202) 748-8000, independents (202) 748-8002. we will hear from beverly who is here in washington, d.c. line for democrats. caller: thank you so much for taking my call. i guess this question is likely hypothetical in nature but it is still one i find myself asking so often. with this most recent move with striking iran and this is the hypothetical part. had this been any other president on the left, the right would be up in arms. there would be action taken in congress. i heard you're just say leader jeffries was notified much later. what resources at this juncture, almost seven months in and so much has happened? what i am asking is is there going to be any consequence. let's say further down the road the strike goes wrong and we start to use -- we start to lose u.s. lives. what are the what if's as to consequences if any? thank you. gu

those were wars. >> senator tim kaine on face the nation. susan page in the pages of usa today writing about the war powers and what it means for president trump in iran. for better or worse, this will be trumps war. for one thing he did not seek the approval of congress which under the constitution is the right to declare war pretty president has broad authority for the use of military force war powers act after richard nixon secret bombing of cam podium during the vietnam war the vice president has notified congress and note the length of deployments paid these will be the elements of debate ahead in echoes of the iraq war. how serious was the iranian nuclear threat and how will voters weigh the stakes and the costs. susan page writing in the pages of usa today. deepak out of california, good morning. what should be the u.s.: it comes to iran? caller: we are trying to change every countries -- we're trying to make everyone jewish or christian. our constitution out of freedom of religion, it's jewish and christian. that's what we try to mak

we got a statement from senator tim kaine. one of many statements we've got. some republican statements have mostly bin in favour of this but we just got tim kaine saying i commend the trump administration for prioritizing diplomacy and working to curb iran's nuclear program and for refraining from participating in tonight's actions. i cannot understand why israel would launch a preemptive strike at this juncture knowing high-level diplomatic discussions between the united states and iran are scheduled for this weekend. the democrats save for senator federman seemed to be against the strike and the republicans seem to be for it. you can see there is a split coming down the pipe. >> and it will continue i think. the administration is still signalling we are up to still meeting believe it or not. and that's what they signal to countries around the middle east. but this changes the entire dynamic and we don't know what the response will be from iran. we also know the u.s. has been replenishing israel's iron dome and it is up to speed. that is protecting the missi

tim kaine said. senator, senator tim kaine said. ambassador, that i wanted to ask you. he said, why torch diplomacy before it's allowed to be allowed to succeed? his point is that he said he was shocked and disappointed that israel launched this attack just three days before the diplomatic efforts of the nuclear talks between us, the u.s. and iran were set to take place again this weekend. before this, in our last conversation, i recall you saying that you thought these these nuclear talks were going nowhere. what do you think now? are are you disappointed? i this, but are you disappointed in the timing, given that talks are going to happen this weekend? >> there was never a chance. let me say that again. never a chance that iran was going to agree to any kind of deal that we would find acceptable. and anybody who thinks otherwise just doesn't understand iran. look, we've negotiated with iran for over 20 years now, and when serious negotiations started in 2003, 2004 by the europeans, britain, france and germany, it was an absolute precondition by the by the europeans th

now, tim kaine has credibility on this.esidential war powers in the biden administration, going up against a democratic president in his own party in a similar category of issues. his effort is, of course, going to go up against security hawks in both parties. it's the type of pursuit that tends to create strange bedfellows on the left and the right. republican leaders are hoping that this situation diffuses itself before any need for congress to step in here. take a listen to what senator john thune, the majority leader, said. >> i would hope that the iranians. >> are wise enough. >> to take the. >> president up on his offer and to. >> sit down. and negotiate this. >> out, but it's got to. end with, you know, iran not possessing a nuclear weapon. the us, which right now is largely in defensive posture at some point may be asked to take a more of an offensive tack there. >> now, there is a similar effort to tim kaine being led in the house by congressman tom massie, the kentucky republican, a resolution to prohibit u.s. arm

>> tim kaine is just flat out wrong. i mean, i you know, the bottom line is there was a 60 day deadline that the president put forth for iran to negotiate. they did. they've done what iran always does. all these times they rope a dope. they come up with new excuses. the supreme allied commander made his comments, which showed no interest in actually finding a negotiated way forward. the united states made it clear that that we were looking for ways to move forward and listen. iran, as the president said this morning, is welcome to come back to the table today and actually disarm their nuclear program, diminish their capabilities that they've continued to drive forward on, that they've been dishonest about, as we just saw from the iaea yesterday, about about their capabilities. so, i mean, from my perspective, iran has proven time again, not only are they a threat to democracy and freedom, not only between iran and the irgc, their military and their proxies attacked the united states, killed americans, attacked our bases,

the resolution authored by senator tim kain of virginia aimed to affirm that trump should seek authorization from congress before launching more military action against the... let's listen in, if we're going to send troops into harms way, our sons and daughters, whether they're flying bombing missions or ground troops or covert operations, we ough to have the guts in this body to cast a vote, saying that that war is necessary, not just act as cheer leaders and hide from culpability, hide from accountability, hide from responsibility. now that there is a republican in the white house, what we're seeing is the democrats are suddenly trying to rewrite the rules. national security moves fast. that's why our constitution says, give the commander and chief real authority. president trump sees the moment. he did it responsibly, he get did it decisively, and he did it constitutionally. history is replete with examples of leaders. huberus thought they could shape the fate of nations, but were subsequently proven wrong, as events ended up controlling them. our own country sadly experienced this during

>> well, i don't know about tim kaine's resolution.ertainly, you know, i get that the democratic party is very conflicted on this. i think republican party is pretty united. we stand with israel. i think it's foolish to have given aid to iran, both under the obama administration and the biden administration, you know, giving iran money is is as predictable as gravity. you know, they're going to use the funds to attack israel. and that's been iran's participation. there's been a state of war between iran and israel for a long time. iran funneled the cash to hamas that led to the 1011 massacre. so, you know that that's what iran does. they haven't generally attacked israel directly. israel hasn't generally attacked iran directly, but there have been a proxy war for a long time. and, you know, i think this is not just hamas, but hezbollah and the houthis. the houthis have been attacking shipping lanes and everything else. iran has been the destabilizing force in the middle east. >> understood. i just thought i thought there was actually s

on the role of congress, we spoke to senator tim kaine who introduced a resolution ensuring that congress would have the final say over whether the us it goes to war with iran for that would you support the? i don't like his resolution. why would you weaken the president as he is involved in a negotiation? i do believe you do not need that resolution, a constitution is clear. congress is the body that clears our wars. unless is a direct attack, if i attacks the united states the president should defend the united states and defended aggressively to insure any future attack. that's the war power resolution that template is talking about. an authorisation for use of military force of the united states is conducted were on terror and its lack sufficient focus in a lot of ways. the united states is not involved in a lot of places around the world without a clear exit strategy. it's possible that israel has got this thing kicked off we should not send a message to israel or any other ally that all you have to do is get a war started in the united states will come finish it for you. the united

>> and then tim kaine saying the american people have no interest in sending service members to fight another forever war in the middle east. familiar language on the right. this resolution will ensure that if we decide to place our nation's men and women in uniform in harm's way, we will have a debate and vote on it in congress. this is really like we haven't heard in a time, anybody wanting to vote on anything the president is doing under this sort of term. what are you hearing, charlie? >> well, we just heard senator graham basically make a case for direct american intervention. that is, we would not apparently provide the means by which israel could deliver, say, bunker busters. >> which is not off brand for lindsey graham. >> it's not off brand for him. but at the same time, i think i think we just heard former secretary panetta lay it out pretty nicely. there are three options out there diplomatic course, direct military, american military participation in this operation or we just stay out of it. and and donald trump has to make a decision right now. and this is not going to be

in addition to the riots and the anti-semitism obsession with gender identity, now senator tim kaine, he's now trying to shield iran, limit trump's authority as commander in chief with a new resolution that would require congressional approval before any action against iran. of course, tim kaine didn't push for a similar bill when a mentally inept and cognitively compromised joe biden was president for the crazy democratic party. everything is about power and politics now. this all started with barack obama. how is he not? how have we never got to the bottom of that idiotic iranian deal? you know, a payloads of cash given to iran, $1.7 billion, that cash payment alone bankrolling hundreds of ballistic missiles and fomenting terror all throughout the region. over a million rockets you can buy with that amount of money. joe biden. well, he let them get even richer because he didn't enforce the sanctions that was bankrupting iran that donald trump had put in place. and now, per usual, it is up to donald trump to clean up their mess. the good news? our president has a plan. it is not fore
