we will be negotiating on the details of that. i am confident that the democrats will come together to get that passed, and then we will just keep working on it. senator pelosi has said the house won t vote on the bipartisan bill until a reconciliation package is ready. this has been a balancing act all along. do you fear that one could jeopardize the other right now? no, i m confident that the two need to go together. they are, you know, bound at the hip. they need to be chained together. many of us who are very excited about the reconciliation bill are supporting the infrastructure bill because we know that the two things are going to come together. so i think speaker pelosi is absolutely right. the american people need all of this work to get done. this is the moment to get it done, and as the senate and the house works together, the timing of this will be organized so both bills will get passed and both bills will get the signature of the president. senator tina smith from mi
i m sorry the minister wasn t here to take some questions because most of them are named for him. but this house won t be taken for granted. when statements are made outside here, continued to be made, that s why i m going to continue to grant uqs. so, let s get used to it. the government doesn t want to come here, i m going to ensure it s heard here. minister. the government was able - to award contracts using their high priority lane because this house gave them the power. to do so. we did it effectively on trust. so, can i ask the minister- if she will now repay the trust that this house placed on the government by publishing not just the details of those contracts that were put - through that high priority lane, but the details also| of those who introduced these contractors to government? . the minister said there were commercial sensitivities surrounding contracts awarded through the high priority lane, which was set up for companies recommended by mps. the questioning turned t
was good for national security, he s more likely to spill the beans. what do you think of the white house saying they have a communications problem? it seems to me it is more of a facts problem than a communications problem. so look, impeachment is a political undertaking. this isn t about the facts but how people in america perceive the facts because the house have to vote up and down on articles of impeachment and then the senate will vote whether to remove the president or not. and so unless there is a ground swell of support behind the facts, members of house won t vote for articles of impeachment and not move so. so now you see the depositions scheduled in the house the second week of november. speaker pelosi said this will be wrapped up by thanksgiving. it doesn t look close to that. and then you talk into next year. an election year. you go out and read and look at swing state, some of the polls done in swing states, the focus groups, and voters are saying,
for now. the full scale of this disaster unknown. also unknown, how many people may still be waiting for rescue, surrounded by floodwaters, hoping their house won t be the next one dragged away. will ripley, cnn, tokyo. okay, back live now with will. we ve got better audio from him. that story is just unreal, will. new what were you saying? please continue. reporter: well, i just wanted to show you that those people, many of whom were stranded, now are not able or now are able to actually get back to their homes. i m going it stay put so that you can, i think if i move around my audio cable gets messed up. but to show those two guys behind with you, at one point had to spend the night at emergency shelter. but now they can safely walk done the street and get a look at all of the damage. there is considerable damage. you see the sheer power of the
more than half of it goes to border security and tightening that, or working with these central american countries to keep their kids out. that s more than half of this. this claim he doesn t want to deal with it is ridiculous. they won t give him an answer on this plan. last year a bipartisan group of senators had a very, very strong comprehensive immigration plan that got through the senate, that was very tough on border enforcement. the corker amendment called for more fences, more surveillance cameras, really serious stuff. a lot of people on the left didn t even like it that much, but it was a compromise that got through the senate. the republican house won t even take it up for a vote. this is very disingenuous on their part. they have no interest in doing anything on this. as long as the president says he s for something, they won t be for it. this idea they want to see a better plan first is ridiculous. it s belied by the facts. there s been a lot of politics, as chris jansin
