that's when mr. suozzi -- put the seat that was vacated by disgraced maga fabulist george santos.hould provide a roadmap for the democratic party in november. in a memo today, murphy told fellow democrats that they should learn a lesson from new york three. we risk losing the 2024 election if we don't seize this opportunity to go on offense on the issue of the border and turn the tables on republicans on a key fob voting issue. joining me now is congresswoman camilla jayapal -- and chair of the congressional caucus. congresswoman jayapal, thank you for being here. i'm eager to know what you think of the sort of broadly held suggestion today that democrats run the suozzi playbook on immigration. do you think that's the right idea? >> why i think it depends on what you called the suozzi playbook. congratulations to tom suozzi. i served with him before, looking forward to working with him again. -- don't run away from immigration. i agree that we need to lean into this issue. and that is what tom did, because he didn't let republicans define us. he defined us. he also, alex, talked a

that's when mr. flip the seat that was vacated by disgraced maga fabulist george santos. today, democrats, including senator chris murphy, say suozzi's victory should provide a roadmap for the democratic party in november. in a memo today, murphy told fellow democrats that they should learn a lesson from new york three. we risk losing the 2024 election if we don't seize this opportunity to go on offense on the issue of the border and turn the tables on republicans on a key fob voting issue. joining me now is congresswoman camilla jayapal pramila jayapal. democrat from the great state of washington and of course chair of the congressional progressive caucus. congresswoman jayapal, thank you for being here. i'm eager to know what you think of the sort of broadly held suggestion today that democrats run the suozzi playbook on immigration. do you think that's the right idea? >> i think it depends on what you called the suozzi playbook. congratulations to tom suozzi. i served with him before, looking forw

suozzi.. secondly this is a blueprint for democrats in suburban districts that must be in the presidential battlegrounds in november a candidate who figured out how to message on contentious issues. the republican try to make the borders a single issue in the campaign. many democrats run away from the issue. tom suozzi not only leaned into at the doubled down and triple down. he flipped the script on the border issue that helped them win. >> what to know about tom suozzi xd you know him personally? >> i do. i've known him for quite some time. he's an establishment very well-known high-profile figure in thehe mayor of the city of gn cove in the 1990s. he was county executive for a couple of terms and ran for congress in one, served in the house and was undefeated. i know him quite well and i do believe he was perhaps the only candidate who could win this special in a district that's been trending republican because of his centrism and his moderation and his proactive measures on barter. >> we d

that is what mr. suozzi told me on friday.hat he believes that the bill should go forward, as he took aim at republicans. >> i would like the president do to a better job regarding immigration. i've said very publicly, i want the president to do what president clinton used to do. take the issue they're attacking on, make it your own, propose a comprehensive bipartisan solution, if the republicans go along with it, great, you move forward as a country. if you don't go along with it you say, hey, are you playing politics or weaponize this. that's what's happening in america. the republicans are saying to say we want to wait to see if president trump wins? you want to wait a year before you address it? at absurd, that's appalling. >> reporter: so suozzi is trying to go against his republican opponent mazi pilip, she's an ethiopia-born israeli immigrant fighting for the seat. he's drawing her out on her attack, saying she protects a national ban on abortion. i asked her, she said she does not support a national ban on abortion. >>

it's true she is less of a known quantity than mr. suozzi, but that can also backfire on a campaign as well. you know, the pilip campaign has sought to tie suozzi to joe biden, who is also seemingly unpopular in this district. it's really up to the voters and we're going to find out. >> it's hard to forget, grace, george santos. he doesn't want us to forget him i think after the mayorkas thing. he tweeted miss me yet or something along those lines. are there lessons you think both parties have learned since his expulsion from congress? >> good question. i think you know it's a little early to know. i think both parties want to sort of say they have learned the lessons. and that there's been more scrutiny of candidates going forward. the, joe cairo as i mentioned, has sort of the said they did a full sweep of mazi pilip when they were deciding who to nominate. special elections are unusual in that the county parties have a lot more say in who goes as opposed to a full primary. clearly, they are very invested in her and feel confident i

. >> seth: it's basically like he asked, "mr.ell me five things you like most about president biden. >> no. [ laughter ] >> seth: the polls are bad for biden right now. so much so that democrats want him around as much as teens partying in the basement want to see their dad. "hey, you guys want some snacks?" "stay away, dad, you're embarrassing me. "come on, come on, you guys, you got to have some snacks. [ laughter ] "everybody want some - some werthers or some crackerjacks." [ laughter ] "we love cracker -- you get a prize every box, no joke, every box. [ laughter ] "key chain or a bazooka joe comic. never funny, bazooka joe, never made me laugh once." [ light laughter ] "there was a guy in my old neighborhood, we called him bazooka joe. because he was wasn't funny either." [ laughter ] although in fairness, why would biden go to long island? it's an island of uncles the only reason to go there are in the summer. like a party in the hamptons, an italian wedding, or a funeral for someone killed at an italian wedding. [ light lau

suozzi made the migrant crisis a center piece of his campaign. he called for mr. biden to close the bored border and went on local news to call for the deportation of a group of migrant men charged for assaulting police officers in times square. it was republicans who killed that bipartisan border bill in the senate, right? is this issue what it once was for republicans? >> oh, yeah, sure it is. >> really? >> here's what was interesting about this whole thing is that here he's really taking on the administration, i think joe said it right, he's a man unto himself, and he started talking about closing the border and he challenged republican and said why did your party shut down these negotiations. he also took on the issue of crime, which was related to some folks, some illegals who had been apprehended. but look, it's a special election. this guy is pretty well-known. i think it's just -- and special elections are always -- they're always different. >> they're special. >> they're anomaies in many sense. they spend so much money, it blows your mind what they're spe

mr. lieu: thank you, chairman aguilar. this year started off with a series of great economic reports. consumer sentiment is up. wages are up. we had a blowout jobs report last night. far above expectations. the dow jones is about 38,000. if you have a retirement account, or education savings plan, your account is higher now than four years ago. at the same time we know prices are high. some people are having trouble making ends meet. that's why democrats passed the inflation reduction act to reduce inflation and cap the costs of drugs such as insulin. it's also why we passed infrastructure law to create jobs. and why we passed the chips and science act, to bring back high-tech chip manufacturing to america. what are republicans focused on? stupid stuff. like baseless impeachments with no evidence. stopping a national security package that's going to improve america's national security. and doing things that no one in america wants them to do, such as holding a hearing on u.f.o.'s. that's

mr. suozzi made the migrant crisis a centerpiece of his campaign. he called on biden to close the border. his opponent condemned the bipartisan senate deal that included stiff provisions and he went on the attack accusing her of adding partisanship over national security. and mary is calling from california. caller: i wanted to be clear on a few things. they did not talk about the people that they shoved into cages when president trump was in office. and what about -- [indiscernible] as far as immigration is concerned, they are pulling together. they are all pulling their money together. they are all working together. people need to get wise. that is all i have to say. host: the line for democrats. good morning. caller: good morning. i was in massachusetts to be years ago. i had a heart attack and an egyptian doctor save my life. these individual stories about immigrants causing trouble should be weighed against the benefits that they give to our country. we need immigrants. look at who is cutting our lawns, fixing our roofs and making our food. peo

. -- mr. suozzi. want to talk but two things are today. one is the calls of unilateral executive orders and other is the interest under debt. let's start with the unilateral executive actions. the economic impact of executive decisions made by the president, we know that this president has declared war on prosperity and opportunity. we know that they won one he declared war on fossil fuels and just destroying american, american energy. with that goal. we should have, and we should have an entire hearing on just that, but we don't have that opportunity. but you know, two things. first of all, this president, he's talked about forgiving and tried and attended to forgive or i shouldn't say forget because my colleague mr. good pointed out earlier, transferring debt, student debt to other taxpayers, not forgetting it by transferring it to other taxpayers. in weakening work requirements for governor programs and crippling our energy sector as i mentioned before, but recently he's also proposed a ban on lng which does two things. first of all the

[indiscernible] mr. jeffries: what does the impeachment of secretary mayorkas have to do with the economy? nothing. what does the impeachment of secretary mayorkas have to do with addressing the affordability issues in america? nothing. what does the impeachment of secretary mayorkas of facing our broken immigration system and addressing challenges at the border? absolutely nothing. it's incredible that instead of extreme maga republicans pivoting to working with us in a commonsense way to solve real problems for the american people, their focus is on how do we get steve scalise back to washington so we can continue to do the bidding of marjorie taylor gene and donald trump and impeach secretary mayorkas. that tells you everything we need to know about this do-nothing, chaotic, dysfunctional and extreme republican majority. indiscernible] mr. jeffries: not our responsibility to let house republicans know which members will or will not be present on the house floor on any other day or in connection with a

. >> what is important to me is that we do not have, unfortunately, another mr. santos. >> reporter: voters are choosing either tom suozzi, a democrat who held the seat for three terms, or mazi pilip, a mother of seven, who served in the israeli military. >> thank you! >> reporter: and who is testing a republican strategy to tie democrats to the surge in migrants from the southern border. >> tom suozzi created this mess, we cannot afford sending him to d.c. this is the day that we're going to go out to vote to secure the borders, to support law enforcement, to improve our economy. >> reporter: suozzi says it's pilip who's refused to support legislation to fix the border. >> her opposition to this bipartisan deal will result in the border staying open for years and years and years, and more migrants coming to new york. >> reporter: this is such a tight race, david, and the weather today really slowed down turnout. republicans hired snowplows, and democrats were offering to drive voters to the polls. david? >> david: aaron katersky tonight. aaron, thank you. >>> ov

mr santos was expelled last december amid allegations of fraud.ured millions of dollars into the race. and finally — if there's one thing the brits love — it's tea. but now, there's a national tea shortage brewing caused by houthi attacks on shipping in the red sea. british shoppers are being warned they could struggle to find tea on supermarket shelves. grocery chain sainsbury�*s has warned of nationwide problems and tetley tea, the country's second biggest tea brand, said supplies were "much tighter" than it would like. but, good news, don't panic because the british retail consortium says the tea disruption is temporary. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. it's wet, it's mild. if anything, it's going to get even milder across some parts of the country. but this story is not true for scotland — it's been quite the opposite. at the moment we've got clear skies. it's very cold in the highlands. and early on wednesday morning, temperatures in some spots could be as low as —8 degrees celsius, but not in northern ireland, england and wales. the air

tom suozzi, the democrats said literally in publicly, mr. president, don't come out here. so some of these issues are taking hold this could be an exception or this could be a bellwether. it is certainly something that they're going to try and sort of make of national importance. although i'm not so sure that that's necessarily going to be what it is. again, the districts can kind of go away. it is a swing district. it went for joe biden. it seems to be swinging in a different direction now the real issue for the democrats is if they let immigration become the biggest issue, they're going to have a much harder for your time than if they swing back to things like the economy. a women's right to choose some of the other basic issues that have worked for them really well. debt forgiveness while lowering medical expenses, the bread and butter issues, that kind of let that get away from them and having a bunch of dc operatives by a bunch of advertising as in here on the democratic side. will i think be seen ultimately as a steak win or lose that those are not the issues that mo

mr santos was expelled last december amid allegations of fraud.indictment for money laundering, fraud and other charges. turnout in tuesday's special election to replace santos — was dampened by a snowstorm that blanketed the new york area. that's likely to have helped democrats — who made a strong showing in early voting. in washington, a showdown over foreign aid is looming. a bipartisan group of senators approved a $95 billion aid package for ukraine, israel, the indo—pacific, and global humanitarian efforts. the next stop for the bill is the house — but it's unclear if the lower chamber will vote on or adopt the provisions after the house speaker mike johnson dismissed it. before the passing senate vote — speakerjohnosn criticized the current iteration of the legislation for not addressing issues at us—mexico border — which has seen a record number of migrants crossings under the biden adminsitration. mrjohnson implied he wouldn't schedule a house vote any time soon — though president biden called on the speaker to act quickly. iurge i urge sp

she she is mr. democrat. that's another reason why that's something that donald trump very quickly last night was quick to point out and say, this was not one of my maga candidates and did trying to not have any ownership over this one he and his argument was that that his people has this isn't his maga supporters. his base did not turn out to support her because she wasn't one of them so what we're not expecting to see, that kind of matchup like this in a lot of those districts come november. >> all right. michelle price for us very early this morning. we sure do appreciate it. thanks so much. >> and overnight. ukraine's military claiming a big victory at sea against vladimir putin's navy. >> plus >> talks to free the hostages in gaza are israel and hamas any closer to a ceasefire and a deadly crash in texas, a vehicle slamming into a hospital emergency room >> united states of scans with jake tapper sunday at nine on cnn >> we're building a better postal service all parts working in sync to move your busine

trump's influence, democratic leaders will be willing to deal if republican leaders show abel and mr.promise in good faith. new york voters just gave them a reason to do it, referring to former congressman tom suozzi's win in that new york third district. he campaigned on compromise on the border. listen to speaker mike johnson and his take on democrats flipping that seat. [video clip] >> the result last night is not something in my view that democrats should celebrate too much. think about what happened. they spent about $15 million to win a seat that president biden won by eight points. they waited by less than eight points. their candidate ran like a republican. he sounded like a republican talking about the border and immigration. everyone knows that is a top issue. that incumbent had been a three-term member of congress, 100% name id, deep history in the district. our candidate was relatively unknown, had a shortshe ran a r. there was a weather event that affected turnout and a lot of factors. that is no way a bellwether of what will happen this fall. i've been to 17 states. whet

he is known as mr.t send to the biden campaign about how important the border issue given the fact this was a top election issue for voters in long island in the northeast of the united states. michael: immigration and the border are really top issues across the board. in our bloomberg swing state poll we found six in 10 voters plane president biden for the troubles we are seeing at the border with the surge of migrants crossing and just the sense nationally that the situation is out of control. that certainly new york which has had 170,000 migrants in recent years, many of them shipped up there by the texas governor greg abbott, all of that is coming home to roost in traditionally democratic areas like new york and voters are wondering what is the president going to do. what was interesting in the remarks last night was he talked -- he was addressing republicans and at the issue of immigration. saying we need to get things done. he was addressing people on the others of the aisle and we recall republic

>> mr. speaker, i rise today in memory of paul emstrand, paul was killed earlier this month in the line of duty alongside officer matthew rugge and firefighter paramedic adam finseth. paul lived in chaska, but his story began in isanti county. a senior class president and a member of the law enforcement club, he impressed his classmates with his strong character of ethical integrity, his generosity, and his sense of humor. among those classmates was his wife, cindy, who he met in kindergarten and began dating in high school. together they shared two children, a 2-year-old and a 5-month-old. at 27 years old, his life was cut tragically short. paul, matthew and adam were killed trying to save seven children barricaded in a burnsville home with an armed man, an act of heroism and sacrifice beyond measure. we were privileged to have paul as a member of our community and as a neighbor and a friend. to cindy and his children and all who loved him, paul will never be forgotten, nor will matthew or
