aishah, thank you. congressional democrats are trying to get away from the perception that they're anti-law enforcement ahead of the midterms or defunding police. even though many progressives still do support defunding the police. party leadership is hoping to get on the record with new funds as soon as possible. congressional correspondent chad pergram tells us where things stand tonight. good evening, chad. >> good evening, bret. crime is a liability for democrats this fall. that's why democrats aim to pass a batch of bills to bolster police, but liberals balked. republicans relish the infighting but democrats down played differences over defunding the police. >> we care about results and ultimately passing these bills off of the floor and ensuring that they become law is what we want. and so, you know, legislating is hard. legislating is difficult but we proved we can get it done. >> members of the squad like cori bush and alexandria ocasio-cortez oppose the bills. they argued the bills failed to ho

aishah, good luck on that front. what is the latest? >> that's right. democrats first and foremost aren't even united on whether the border is secure or not. but they are in total agreement that the border is a problem that needs to be fixed. to the point that even progressive representative ro khanna is now calling on the vice president to try to help democrats strike a deal on immigration reform. watch. >> do you think she's doing a good job with the border? >> i think we need a better solution on comprehensive immigration reform. what i'd say to the vice president is help lead to get comprehensive immigration reform done. >> so will she help lead to do that? that's inclear. she and the president think the border is already secure, neil. it's contrary to what bill melugin just reported. the countless images we show you every day of thousands crossing into the southern border. congressional democrats are forced to re-visit this issue seven weeks before election day because the mayors and governors of border towns are bussing thousands of migrants to sa

aishah hasnie joins us from capitol hill. aishah, how bad are the issues the lawmakers are looking at now? >> hey, gillian. good afternoon to you. bad enough that florida congresswoman val demings is tracking the response in florida right now. this is fresh off her official visit to puerto rico which is where a u.s. civil rights commission found fema did not do a great job in serving the poor and disabled after hurricane maria, demings who chairs the committee with direct oversight over fema wrote this, our fellow americans puerto rico deserve the response and rebuilding they did not receive after hurricane maria. we cannot repeat the mistakes of the past. that's not all, gillian. i actually got to catch up with mayor nick hunter of lake charles in louisiana who says his town really suffered a humanitarian crisis after lrn laura in 2020. he said he applauds fema for responding immediately to the crisis, bringing in temporary trailers for displaced residents who live there, but took nearly a year for that agency to even figure

let's go to aishah hasnie on capitol hill. republicans say they have a plan that can make the border secure. they need help from the other side. what is the latest? >> that's right. good afternoon to you, neil. as you heard alexis mcadam's report said the situation is getting worse. republicans here, house republicans are raising the stakes. take a look at this tweet from minority leader kevin mccarthy this week. he wrote this. if biden and democrats don't use this government funding bill to address the border crisis immediately, i'm voting no on this bill and i urge my colleagues to do the same. by the way, government shut down looming in eight days, this standoff is tense right now. there may be a bigger one looming in three months in the gop flips the house. kevin mccarthy just presented his commitment to america agenda to the house gop conference this morning. on the border, the gop plans to end catch and release, they want to reinstate the remain in mexico policy and they want to finish the border wall if they regain majo

aishah hosni is on that story live from the hill to bring us the news from there.e right. bipartisan immigration reform on the hill seems so far out of reach that now progressive representative roe khanna is actually calling for vice president kamala harris, the absent border czar, to help democrats strike a deal. watch. >> we need a better solution. i would say to the vice president. help lead to get comprehensive immigration reform done. >> lead. unclear if harris will heed the call since they think the border is already secure despite images we show you every day depicting tens of thousands of migrants crossing the southern border on a daily basis. even democrats like senator joe manchin and henry cuellar agree the border is not secure. congressional democrats are being forced to revisit this issue seven weeks before election day all because republican and democratic leaders are busing thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities to try to lessen the burden on the border communities. democrats do want some kind of a comprehensive immigration reform package. they wa

neil. >> neil: thank you very much aishah hasnie on capitol hill. if you think democrats have a problem getting the word about inflation out and try to say they are on top of it, republicans are not getting high marks either. it is a jumble. lee carter following all of that. lee, what does it mean when the electric seems to have on both parties. >> i think the problem is most americans don't feel like the government is out to fight for them. i think they were about everybody feels the government is against each other and nothing is getting accomplished. so you have this huge group of people feel both parties have led them down. republicans messaging has primarily been how bad things are with inflation. the problem there, most people know what they want to hear and that is a solution how to make it better. meanwhile, democrats say they do make things will be okay but people don't feel it is okay. so they feel they are out of touch. what the democrats do have is a message on abortion. i think it's important that republicans take this seriously because

aishah hosni is running that down for us today. good morning. >> good morning to you, bill. high inflation, high climb, security, pocketbook issues. meanwhile democrats are really seeing voters be energized over the abortion issue. so according to a new quinnipiac poll abortion is the most urgent issue for democrats. in fact, dccc chair maloney says the scotus ruling has a wakened millions of voters. house ranking member jim jordan telling fox this morning that republicans should lean into the dobbs decision. >> lean into. we're the pro-life party and protect the sanctity of human life. democrats have the radical position who think you should be able to take the unborn child's life until their birthday. this was a huge win for the precious nature of human life. i don't think we should shy away from it. >> republican national committee chair ronna mcdaniel recently told the a.p. the g.o.p. needs to narrow its message on abortion pointing out the past four republican presidents after the roe decision believed in the exception but also limitations, bill, adding the g.o.p. canno

aishah hasnie following the back and forth on all of this on capitol mill. asia?really stalled because republicans on the hill believe democrat are the really trying to put the cart before the horse when it comes to immigration reform. in fact senior gop senator john cornyn of texas as you know is a big deal-maker on the hill told reporters he cannot see bipartisan immigration reform until this administration really deals with the crisis at the border. now his comments come as president biden and vice president harris continue to claim the border is quote, secure. in reality, neil, you and i both know thousands of migrants are being caught on camera every single day climbing fences, crossing the rio grand river to get to the u.s. while authorities are busting smugglers bringing in deadly drugs like fentanyl. pressure on congress to do something has reached a boiling point here in washington as the governors of texas, arizona, florida, continue to bus hundreds of migrants to blue cities and states. the biggest headliner, a short while ago the group sent by florida

aishah hasnie joins me at the top of the hour for "america reports." see you there. >> you know what it is? i'll tell you what it is. it's anti-italian discri discrimination. columbus day is a day of italian pride. it's our holiday, and they want to take it away. >> emily: columbus day is coming up, which means it's time for the annual debate over canceling the holiday. new york democrats are heading to albany to try and make that happen, introducing legislation last week in an effort to officially cut it from the calendar. lara, never mind the historical presence of it for so many decades here in this country and here in the state. >> lara: my birthday is october 12, so growing up occasionally i would have the day off of school for columbus day. so i'd like to keep it just because it made me feel special, to be honest. [laughter] but it's just more of the same. i think so many of us see this as erasing history, or an attempt to do so, at or to vilify people who actually made significant contributions to our country, to the world as a whole. i'm not sa

aishah has more for us. has anyone heard from cuomo? >> we have not heard from him, and neither have house republicans here and they tell us that he has not responded to at least six separate letters, including an invitation to come to this hearing. and it would appear, john, that also chairman, democratic chairman jim clyburn has not used his subpoena powers, and we are here staking out the hearing to ask where he has not done that, and of course folks out there would want him to do that considering the fact that this governor was the governor whether 15,000 new york nursing home residents died from covid. fox news has been on top of this story from the very beginning, including when the attorney general revealed cuomo's health department undercounted the deaths, some still blame cuomo's emergency orders for causing the crisis. democrats on this committee will have to confront cuomo's blatant dodge as they seek to prevent a future disaster. republicans say new york's current governor must also face the consequences. >> we know governor
