contests in border states. republican lawmakers were on the border yesterday. we ask them what their plan will be. no plan is given. the white house is being pulled in the other direction by members of the congressional hispanic caucus who met with president biden monday. title 42 should be lifted. we should focus on border management policy in order to make sure that they have the resources in order to move forward. joining me now is julia ainsley who covers the department of homeland security and the justice department. first of all, what s going to happen with this court ruling? it s a temporary injunction. is the administration going to fight it because it s so short-term? it s analogous to the masking rule. it s more temporary than it first appears. what the judge is ruling on he says he will issue this
it shows an evolution of a party and leadership in the party ready to move on from donald trump and what they think and what they had their contempt for him. now saying they would vote for him and support him if he was the nominee. others continuing to push the election lie that the election was stolen. we also saw that with these text messages from meadows from folks around the republican party who went from pushing election lies and conspiracy theories, texting on january 6 about their concern and then getting right back to pushing those lies and basically downplaying and whitewashing what happened that day. it shows where the republican party is. that continues to be a party that is following donald trump wherever he may go or lead. which is a very big question. thanks to all of you. down on the border, a court ruling putting the biden
poland on the border after coming out of the three-hour meeting in kyiv about weakening russia. here was his response today. they are, in fact, in terms of military capability, weaker than when it started. we would like to make sure, again, that they don t have the same type of capability to bully their neighbors that we saw at the outset of this conflict. this next period is critical. experts have said that. the u.s. is sending in howitzers. they are sending in phoenix drones which this new package includes drones that have a further range. they can go on attack. they can do reconnaissance. this is a lot of stuff. how do you get it to the forces

that s been a key factor here in the success of the ukrainian forces so far. absolutely. we should not be surprised by the intelligence sharing. if you remember, before the war, as we were seeing indicators that russia was building along the border there, we started sharing intelligence. then it prompted the rest of our european allies to start sharing intelligence. so this is the first time in my military career granted, i served in the military almost 40 years where we relaxed our stance and really started to share intelligence, particularly intelligence that is not a part of nato or our five that we normally share intelligence with. how much of an advantage do the russians have in this next phase of the battle? secretary austin was asked about his comments that he made in
