gottheimer: that's important. don't be afraid to pick up the phone and call us, and to say, for people who say it's just a mess there. actually, you know, i work with them all the time. there's plenty of stuff we're getting done working together. i think people need, you're asking what do we need to repair things? pem need to have faith. we live in the greatest country in the world. people need to know the system works, and it does work. think about what we didding to, the problem solvers caucus and beyond in the last two years, not just infrastructure. big support for veterans. support for cops. and first responders. building chips in the united states. instead of our number one enemy and adversary in the government of china. all this stuff we did working together. and we got to tell more of the good news because if we're negative, the people we represent are going to be negative. we've got to remind them, got to put the country first. i think if we do that, it'll start to lift everyone back up that way.

gottheimer: thank you, representative manning, for your leadership on this and so many other important issues. i rise to urge my colleagues to join me in passing the i.g.o. antiboycott act. i'm honored to have introduced this bipartisan legislation with my good friend and fellow problem solving caucus member, michael lawler. on october 7, the world watched terrorists invade israel and kidnap nap, rape, torture and burn alive children, men and women and dozens of americans. americans remain hostage to this day. this war is underscored that we will always stand with israel and give her the right to defend herself. this bipartisan legislation is a key step to count erranty semitic movements strong along by enemies of our nation and the b.d.s. movement is antisemitic. we must stop intergovernmental organizations from alienate ping israel its acceptable and speaking as my colleague did with the united nationses and what has come out even in the last dation about unra playing host to hamas did ita center. we know that a significant number of hamas fighters are employees at unra and p funding

joining us now is new jersey's democratic congressman josh gottheimer who co-chairs the bipartisan problemressman, thank you for your patience. we wanted to bring you that breaking news from the middle east. i know you're interested in that as well. the senate republicas threatening to block the border security bill, mike johnson says the senate border bill was going to be dead on arrival. let's listen to what he had to say earlier today. >> they did not send us a border security measure. they didn't. they sent us a supplemental funding proposal that has immigration reform, but not real border security reform and so that's why it is a nonstarter. >> by my recollection, there was $20 billion in there for security. and it has been endorsed by the union that represents the border patrol. so, what is going on here? >> i don't get it. i'm not sure if the speaker is reading the same bill that i read, which makes it very clear this will lead to more border security and deliver on what many of my friends on the other side have been asking for, for months, if not years. so, those of us who have bee

the problem solvers caucus, congressman fitzpatrick andes go -- >> gottheimer. >> yeah, yeah.hey've got a pretty creative idea. here's what they're saying. go back to remain in mexico as a border security policy, and that was the number one request of the border patrol on our visit to texas, senator scott, go back to remain in mexico. you have to wait in mexico for your asylum claim. you're not released in the united states. secondly, to reinstitute title 42. those two things on the border i think simple, will work, and they want to slim down the aid package to $60 billion, all lethal aid. here's what i told them. i think that's a winning combination. i suggested making the lethal aid alone, like president trump suggested. they gave $55 billion, 33 of it was a loan. if you turn the lethal aid into a loan, to remain in mexico, title 42, that combination not only gets through the house, it picks up votes in the senate. it would be welcome relief to the ukraine. it would be a blow to putin. it will also help israel and taiwan. >> senator graham, stop there for a moment. you stunn
