the way donald trump was able to reshape the court and the age of the current justices, if the idea is to dramatically reshape the supreme court to get different qualitative decisions, then you ve got to have that conversation with the american people i think it s two separate conversations, but each of them equally important to have. brian, what is the current framing around i think the right successfully smeared it by calling it court packing is there an idea to rebrand it as corrective as court ethics? absolutely, nicolle the reason si think when and if this package ever moved, a supreme court reform package it would be termed an omnibus package. so many of them address different problems afflicting the court right now. we need term limits, strategically timing your retirement so the president can pick a supreme court justice that is of their party s
of how the white house now is handl handling? it seems like they ve tried to get their arms around how they re going to try to manage this. i think they re handling it much better. i think the answer is both/and. you have to talk about and explain the nuances and the difference between joe biden and donald trump. the differences are clear. magnitude. you have obstruction of justice, you had lawyers who were not telling the truth, you had documents that were voluminous down in mar-a-lago. it s a different scenario, but you have to explain that to the american people. and you have to tell your story. you have to talk about your accomplishments. you have to talk about the inflation reduction act. you have to talk about ketanji brown jackson. you have to talk about your bipartisan achievements. you have to talk about chips. you have to talk about many of the accomplishments that this administration s had, the infrastructure bill. all of these things, the omnibus

there. henry cuellar is coming under fire for a lack of funding for the border crisis in the new omnibus package, but it s close to $70 billion, that s not peanuts. that is correct. i mean, the fact that we have a tent city that is being built in el paso, a huge shelter to house all these migrants, you know, is that going to be the solution moving forward, are we going to be funding shelters, in the business is that one of our new operational costs right here in the city of el paso where we are now going to be housing migrants, but then what comes after that. that is the question, that is why now i am calling on president biden to come to el paso and look at our city and tell us what the solution moving forward is because this right here is unsustainable. i don t see it going anywhere other than more shelter, more shelter, more shelter, it s not securing our border. gillian: talk to me about the
