Scarborough asked Cotton about Trump's speech but Cotton said he was too busy: Working on the Heavy Water Amendment and son's 1st b-day. Section highlighted

Scarborough: reaction to Speech by Donald Trump?
Cotton: Did not have the chance to watch or read the speech between son's b-day and working on stopping on money from going to the Iranian nuclear program.
Scarborough: how was son's b-day?
Cotton: wife made it and he was not as fond of it as we thought he might be.

Scarborough: respond to WH criticism of you?
Cotton: WH may think it is a laughing matter but it is not. Serious matter. Heavy water isn't radioactive but is part of the nuclear program. The deal says Iran has to reduce its stocks but there isn't anything in the deal about taxpayer dollars being used to do it or that we should have to. I offered an amendment to block funding for next year but that was blocked by the dems. I have a large majority in favor.
Scarborough: Why?
Cotton: They don't want to go on the record opposing the president and having taxpayers subsiding iran program. I offered a 60 vote threshold. They know policy is indefensible and they know that and so dems blocking the entire bill.

Geist: isn't there another way to go about this? This is clearly a poison bill on a bill that would have gone through. Any other avenue?
Cotton: Dems have said willing to allow a stand alone bill which I would consider. This is not a poison pill. On Hill, that term is used to describe when someone opposes a popular policy and doesn't have the votes to stop. I did not do this last minute: admin dumped the news last Friday night.
