seriously they took this. by losing access to u.s. supply chains, z.t.e. was essentially put out of business. this is a really tough, serious sanction. and really kind of a law enforcement action. and i think the president sees it all connected, though, he doesn t see this as a matter of z.t.e. violating u.s. laws and getting in trouble. he thinks of this as another negotiating chip that he can use at president xi to get a better deal as he calls it with china on trade. in his mind, all these things are intermingled and you don t get the sense that he s talking to a lot of his advisors before he makes these kinds of announcements. right. dana: i have to just learn to follow his lead, jon. thank you for being here. jon leiber, everyone. thank you. all right, we re watching the senate floor as we await the final vote on gina haspel s nomination to become c.i.a. director. and a dangerous situation unfolding in hawaii as the kilauea volcano shoots up a cloud of ash nearly six miles high.
him to go in terms of coming around. obviously, we will see what he decides. how he raises his hand on the senate floor in a matter of minutes. but everything we are hearing suggests that he is still a no. we ll see if he s had a change of heart. but the reason is intense pressure on him with those democrats coming around to vote yes this time around, dana. dana: thank you so much. let s bring in congressman adam kinsinger, member of the foreign affairs committee. and we are waiting for the white house that is going to send us some tape. the president is meeting with the nato secretary-general. there s some tape out of the oval office, as soon as we get that, we ll bring it to you live and hopefully you ll be here to comment on it. let me first start with gina haspel. one of the things that the senator from north carolina and the chairman of the senate intel committee was saying that for the first woman to lead the c.i.a., that it really means so much to the people who have dedicated
mission can and will be rewarded. the two republican nos we re expecting are rand paul and arizona senator jeff flake. some democrats tried to force the c.i.a. to declassify more about haspel s career but were not successful. for that, they say they will vote no. despite our repeated requests, she decided she would not allow the american people to know who she is and what has she done? this has been and again, painful to have to say this a stark failure of senate oversight. despite those criticisms, expect gina haspel to be confirmed soon. dana? dana: and mike, if i could just ask you one question. so senator rand paul could not be brought around on this. he did decide to vote for mike pompeo, the secretary of state. yeah, apparently, he found this was a bridge too far for
yourself out there. we appreciate the report. and we re still keeping an eye on the senate floor where we expect the senate to vote on gina haspel s nomination to run the c.i.a. plus our allies trying to figure out what to do with the iran nuclear deal now that the u.s. has pulled out. with some blasting president trump s move. the british ambassador to the united states joins me to discuss in moments. every baby can have the freedom to move their way in pampers cruisers with three-way fit. they adapt at the waist,
i should point out we re expecting an oval office meeting in a little bit and he s meeting with the secretary-general of nato. in town once again. maybe he ll talk about the cooperation between the u.s. and other nato partners, and maybe how some of them like germany should be ponying up a bit more. back to you. dana: thank you. you bet. dana: the full senate now debating the nomination of gina haspel to become the next c.i.a. director with a final confirmation vote expected any minute. chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. mike? good afternoon. this is a big moment. a career c.i.a. officer is on the verge of becoming the first woman to head the agency. at least five senate democrats are expected to support gina haspel s nomination to head the c.i.a. they include a number of democrats who are up for re-election in states that president trump won and also the top democrat on the senate intelligence panel to explain why he supports haspel in this
