i met at the white house with his chief of staff, denis mcdonam mcdonough and other republicans who supported the president on that. the president made that request at the last minute. i publicly supported it. this year, i think what has changed is when people thought of chemical weapons in syria, they thought it was just people in syria that were going to be killed. now seeing the brutal executions of americans by isis is brought home to the american people how deadly, vicious and diabolical isis is. and that's brought pressure on the members of the congress. >> let me ask you about this so-called blank check. it's a fund the president has had in front of congress for about five or six months now. it's about $500 million -- excuse, $5 billion to fight terror. and many in congress have said, don't ask us for that amount of money without giving us specifics. do you think the unbelievable advance of isis and the crisis that it's presented has made the specifics a little less necessary now? >> i would think so. there's no reason that can't resolved. you're never going to get specifics down to ev
