her brother testified about the lies that she told and talked about how disgusted he was with all the lying she did. that has got to have a huge impact on this jury? it s a huge impact because what happens is now, they re setting this up, for if she takes the witness stand the state can argued she lied some times but now she wants you to believe she is telling the truth? don t buy it, folks. jon: all right. we are continuing to watch this case and certainly when it gets to deliberation and a verdict we ll bring it to our viewers. faith jenkins, doug burns, thank you both. my pleasure, jon. jenna: just interesting to mention, jon, heard in my ear, producer in the control room said the prosecution just rested. william la jeunesse said maybe we could see the trial wrap up maybe this week. we ll learn shortly. jon: will they put the defendant on stand? jenna: a question to watch the rest of the day today. we ll bring you headlines as we get them. in the meantime when lawmakers attack
here today is at risk. and naghemd, wife of pastor abedini couldn t be more clear she feels abandoned the obama administration. secretary kerry in my opinion should have began the negotiation and integrated throughout the negotiation and should have ended, pick up the phone and let these americans go. in the case of pastor abedini, he was in iran settings up an orphanage. he was targeted because he is a christian. jenna: we heard a little of what secretary kerry had to say. his point is well-taken. you have to be careful about elevating level of one prisoner so that you don t endanger that prisoner s life and don t endanger other americans so they become pawns in future kidnappings or imprisonments and the like. how concerned are you about that angle. oh, just the opposite. one of the greatest takeaways dictatorships from china, father of democracy movement who was a
and keep your plan. all three of those things are not true. they have nothing to do with the when site. they have to do with the policy and will create real problems. jenna: does this have anything to do with age at this point? people with age have issues with that. does this discriminate. nice to have you weigh in on the sexiest man alive. jon scott, should have been asked to do that, don t you think. alan, that was very sweet of you. i wasn t expecting that. jon: i don t have enough tattoos. who does? jenna: that s true. well, again, great to have both of you. thank you very much. good to be here. jon: a marathon session in the u.s. senate. lawmakers working into the early morning hours debate the president s nominees as a battle heats up over the so-called nuclear option. the gop refuses to give an inch, protesting new rules pushed through by senate democrats. peter doocy has details what is going on from washington. so what is it republicans doing
grassroots advocacy. press the flesh with your constituents and tell them what is actually going on. the fact we have been trying to represent you and your interests, in the senate but the democratic lip and the democratic administration won t allow us. jon: meantime, for the first time in years we have at least the framework of a budget deal. bipartisan, house and senate. they got together. they came up with a deal but steams like almost nobody likes it. is this thing going to pass? i m optimistic again because of self-preservation is the first law of nature and last week when we talked about this i thought we would come to some type of a budget resolution but we do have buzzards in the house that don t want anything to pass. that do want gridlock. when you have certain republicans saying, jon, that the only reason why paul ryan helped make this deal with senator patty murray was to raise his stature for 2016. that is just not true.
jon: well, but is it true to say they don t want legislation moved or they don t want to see spending rise? because that s one of the problems, one of the most frequent criticisms of this deal is that it lifts the sequester spending caps. it does increase and does lift the spending caps but you have to compromise. not everyone is going to get everything at the table. we might have to raise some spending caps but here s what americans don t want to see. they don t want to see another government shutdown. they don t want to see another continuing resolution. the can kicked down the road. they want a resolution. jon: you re a conservative. yes. jon: probably don t much like increased government spending. no. jon: so what do you see as the tradeoff to what, forgoing along increased government spending? there is going to have to be some compromise. if we had a republican house and senate and democratic white house as we did in the clinton days we wouldn t be having this problem. so
