future? and is that a strong enough threat to motivate him to rea lot of this document? garland is going to be the person to bring up the charges. director wray is probably sitting in a pretty good spot. keep in mind, this is the same guy during the baseball shooting that attacked steve scalise that labeled the individual not as a domestic terrorist but as a suicide by cop attempt. even though he purposefully attacked republican congressman at the time. this is a guy that s very political. and so i don t think he is worried at all because he knows garland is going to protect him.
pelosi, at her house in san francisco last year when an assailant came into that house, attacked her husband, paul pelosi, with a hammer. of course the baseball shooting that occurred in 2017, six people were shot including the house republican whip, steve scalise, who is now the house majority leader. right now we are learning these details about this attack that occurred in gerry connolly s office against two of his staff members. those are pretty much all the details we have at the moment. the city of fairfax indicating that this individual is in police custody. those people who were attacked are being treated, non-life threatening injuries as we re learning more details as the time goes by, we ll report them to you here. terrifying. we wish his staffers a speedy recovery. manu, thank you. boris. we want to pivot now to the surge slowdown at the border. the rush of migrants expected when title 42 ended is not
their politics look like? what could be in? for post, falstaff and, i like that you come to me when it comes to leaning into chaos, that s definitely my brett brand, so that makes a lot of sense. obviously, probably the conventional wisdom will tell us, that steve scalise would be the alternative choice. but what i tell you about that is, i think it s a dangerous grounds, to go and start speculating about who the next man up could be. for a bunch of reasons. first of all, there s no indication that anyone else outside of kevin mccarthy in this faction of conservatives, is making any effort to win votes, typically for the speakership so that were to happen it would have to happen really fast and well steve scalise is a very affable fan, it is very much like as a human being by many people within the conference, obviously he s been through a lot of personal tragedy, it s a victim of the congressional baseball shooting, he is very, very conservative,
preparing for this eventuality. but he is really determined not to appear at all in any way to be nudging mccarthy. so, if indeed scalise is going to be an alternative, it s going to have to be a two-step operation. kevin mccarthy is going to have to step down from this race first. scalise is going to have to seem as though he was the candidate who was drafted into this. a little bit actually, not unlike what happened with paul ryan back in 2015 where he was kind of presented as the reluctant speaker in waiting once mccarthy s bid fell apart back then. but, i mean, scalise is someone who is very respected across the conference, especially in the wake of the horrific congressional baseball shooting, which he recovered from with great grit and grace and won a lot of admirers kind of across the board in the course of doing this. democrats would prefer scalise to mccarthy in the sense that they view him as someone who keeps his word. a lot of democrats have good relationships with scal
that s definitely my brand. so, obviously, the conventional wisdom will tell us that steve scalise would be the alternative choice. but what i tell you about that is, i think it s a dangerous ground, to go it d start speculating about who the next man up could be. for a bunch of reasons. first of all, there s no indication that anyone else outside of kevin mccarthy in this faction of conservatives is making any effort to win with votes, typically for the speakership so that were to happen it would have to happen really fast and well steve scalise is a very affable man, is very much light as a human being by many people within the conference, obviously he s been through a lot of personal tragedy, was a victim of the congressional baseball shooting, he is very, very conservative, and there may not be moderates that would be comfortable voting for steve scalise, much like there are are not a hard line conservatives that feel comfortable voting for kevin mccarthy. so there are no guarantee
