Morning. As we ve been saying the lawmakers are hunkering down in washington while trying to run out the clock on a 30day special session that they do not want to be part of and that s why they hightailed it out of the state of texas and urging congress to pass a sweeping bill that would federalize elections. That has a lot of constitutional watchers wondering whether or not it s legal under the constitution.

Now the price increase is olive 4%, prices vary by location, but that basically means that if your chipotle burrito used to cost $10, it will be going up to $10. 40. And if it was for 70, it would be for 89. Call me a little skeptical but that is going to be the deciding factor in the midterm elections. Never mind the fact that chipotle rake didn
we ll be speaking to a north dakota senator that had a chance to visit what is happening at the rio grande in just a minute. first, to casey stegall in eagle pass, texas on what we re learning just now about how bad and crowded this has gotten. sir? hey, neil. this is what u.s. health and human services must have meant in their responses. not only to fox news but the repeated media outlet requests to be let inside. at least one of these processing facilities so we could see things for ourselves and also bring the images to our viewers instead of having them leaked by lawmakers and the like, which has happened the last couple days. this is what we saw earlier today. a network pool camera allowed inside. you can see that it is very, very crowded, which is something that we already knew. the government admits that space has been tight saying that this problem has only been compounded by the global pandemic. listen. the capacity for this location for covid purposes is 250. pr
more than 50 lives. almost 2,000 buildings. in moments, we ll talk to a local pastor about what the church is doing to help, but first to the senior national correspondent william lajeunesse live for us on the ground in maui with the very latest. william. reporter: trace, we re in the harbor about ten miles south of la hind a and this is also where the police roadblock is and the check point. people can t get into lahina because they re still looking for bodies but if you want to go you have to go by boat but that s supposed to be illegal. we heard some incredible stories today from people who were in the water for eight hours or more, waited to be picked up and had jumped to avoid the flames in lahina per se. one thing i heard today over and over, the speed of this fire was so great, people could just not they couldn t get out in time. they couldn t even see the flames, the smoke was so thick. traffic was backed up. people literally died in their cars. now, lahina is of
my guest, no guests, this week used to face each other in the house of commons. their clashes were memorable. tony blair, now sir tony, was notjust a leader of the labour party, he was of course prime minister. william, now lord hague, was leader of the conservative party. hard then to imagine that they would be as they are now, working together to outline what they say should be the country s new national purpose. but they are, and they are here together. so welcome, sir tony and lord hague, to poltical thinking. thank you. thanks. i am still getting used to this. now, how should i think if you? do i think of you as friends, allies, colleagues, partners in crime? i don t know, partners i think in saying what we have been saying about science, innovation, ai, biotech, you know, the latest reports. we haven t set up a new political party, we are not changing the landscape in that sense, but definitely partners in thinking about what any political party has got to do in the fut
