thankfully in the house of representatives today we passed legislation to force the hand of the administration do the right thing. it s the strongest border security bell ever passed through the united states congress in this case the house representative s. we need to get the senate to act republicans have used the power of the purse to force action for the debt ceiling or the spe spending. laura: congressman i m calling you to because i know you so well the congressman is at build dead on arrival in the u.s. senate he would certainly veto it i think we have some republican senators to me not in u.s. senate though it s a oh, no, a little bit too tough th there. i like to see them do that in the face of the disaster that were simmering on the southern border that is on actually the question is whether republicans will force the power of the purse the question of whether we must secure the border all due respect roger through great respect we cannot wait two years
while he s meeting with residents there, you hear a voice off camera that linguists say, someone was yelling, this is all a show, it s not true. this time last, the military encircled the city, and it was bombing it from land, sea and air, destroying much of it, and i was interviewing residents who were fleeing, who describe spe spending weeks under bombardment, hiding in basements, burying neighbors who got killed by russian artillery in the front yards of apartment buildings. i spoke to one of the women i met a year ago who escaped. she s a refugee over seas. she said seeing vladimir putin in her hometown is like seeing a serial killer return to the scene of the crime. of course it is. and that really says it all. sig ivan watson, thank you for the reporting from kyiv. i want to bring in political national security analyst, and david singer for all of the
offensive statements i ever heard and it insults every black american. let me be very clear. this whole reparation plan is racist in and of itself. it is a ploy by governor newsom to somehow stop black men leaving the democratic party for his presidential run. that s what he is trying to do. he s trying to play the ultimate race card to keep black americans within the democratic party. it s insulting, brian. it s very insulting. brian: 1.8 billion black residents in california. this is possible that they will be getting checks because i don t see anything standing in their way except for the fact that it will be if that spe spending. there are several things to step in this, they violated the constitution, it s racist, and violate the equal protection clause, this thing two years ago voted against affirmative action. they tried to reinstitute affirmative action. even california democrats get it. it s unfair. it discriminates against every nonblack american in california.
making concessions, right? this is on the person making demands. if you agree to what i want, i will deliver the votes to execute that, and we have no reason to think kevin mccarthy can do that. republicans feel the absence of figures like a paul ryan, who are very articulate and intelligent and talking about spe spending, and what would need to happen to bring the government back into balance. it has been a while where the party had something like ryan that could go on tv and talk about where we are now and talk about the sacrifices the american people should make. it has been sometime since president trump announced his candidacy for the presidency again, and we are seeing him back on the campaign trail. two early primary state stops over the weekend, and north carolina, joined by governor
speaker. that was a key part of the negotiations going forward. members on the far right had demanded that. this rules package also would make it harder to raise taxes, harder to raise spending as well, to demand some spending cuts if that were to happen. but there were other concessions that mccarthy made that were not part of this proposal that are also causing some concerns, giving members of that hard right freedom caucus more say in the legislative process as well as capping spending, domestic spe spending, which could lead to potential cuts in defense programs. now, in talking to members today the issue about whether or not one member should be allowed to simply oust the speaker from his job has caused some angst about whether mccarthy will be able to keep this job for two years or whether he ll be constantly threatened by people unhappy by his decisions. does that concern you, that some members may take advantage of that? i m not the speaker. so you know, it should concern k
