chuck schumer doesn't want to do that.instead, he wants to move to table the entire thing, and are three reasons chuck schumer wants to move the table the articles of impeachment. sreason number one, he does not want to allow the house managers to present the evidence of alejandro mayorkas and this administration's willful decision to aid and abet this criminal invasion of this country. the second reason schumer wants to table two articles of impeachment is he doesn't want a trial. he does not want the american people to see the facts. when each of us lay out the facts so what's going on, not democrat argues not the never side, they don't defend it safe no, no, no, it's great. don't worry about the people who are dying. don't worry about the children being raped. don't worry about the mexican drug cartels taking billions of dollars. the democrats have no response. the response is they count on the meeting up to reported. that's their entire strategy. and the third reason schumer wants to table these articles of impeachment

did you get a sense of what the reaction was to schmidt's objectionbj and chuck schumer's response in offering this motion in response to that objection? >> from our colleague he was in the chamber sent met some color and set after that happened senators administered to huddle and figure out next steps was a huddle on the flexion senate republican whip john thune, ted cruz, mike lee, jon kennedy macconnell chief of staff. john cornyn who is hoping to become the next majority republican leader was part of those conversations. there was certainly some frenzied huddling on the floor. so in the meantime jon tester jr who is a critical boat ran over and snapped a bag of peanut m&ms at a cory booker's desk but some of the floor activity. thee outcome is a foregone conclusion is not going to be a senate trial. i think senators are waiting for this to be over with. >> hill.com is read go to read alex bolton's reporting about of his colleagues but always great color in the hill. thanks for filling us in. >> thanks for having me on. mr. whitehouse, mr. wicker. mr. wyden. mr. young. a quorum is

did you get a sense of what the reaction was to the objection and chuck schumer's response and offering this motion and response to that objection? >> well, i mean, from my colleague who is in the chamber he sent me some color and said after that happened senators immediately started to huddle and figure out next steps. there was a huddle on the floor between senate republican whip john thune, ted cruz, mike lee, john kennedy and mcconnell's chief of staff, john cornyn who was hoping to become the next republican majority leader. he was part of those conversations. so there was, there were certainly some frenzied huddling on the floor, you know, and so in the meantime jon tester who is a critical vote here over and snuck a bag of peanut butter m&ms out of cory booker subtest. at some of the floor activity. the outcome is a foregone conclusion. huckabee senate trial so i think senators are waiting for this be over with. >> hill.com as we can go to read his reporting and out of his colleague. always great comfort in the hill. thanks for filling us in, alex bolton. >> thanks for having me

. >> we all know chuck schumer is playing politics with this. he has members that are very likely going to lose their seat and he does not want them to have to take a vote on this. he also knows the border and lack of border security is the number one issue with the american people. i hear it in tennessee every day. so he is trying to be too cute and devise a way to not have a trial. here is what he had to say in 2019 prior to the impeachment of president trump. he said, and i'm going to quote him, we would do well to remember our constitutional duty to act as judges in a potential trial. so he fully realizes that this is our constitutional duty ascribed to us to take up these articles, to hold a trial. but he is so power-hungry the only thing that he can focus on is the november election and what he is willing to do is toss the constitution aside so that he can protect some of his members. it is imperative that we take the information from the house. it is imperative that we hold a trial of secretary mayorkas who has neglected his duty. think a

by senator chuck schumer majority leader, and the impeachment trial ended. it took about three hours total. this is david in frenchlink, indiana, republican line david good evening. caller: good evening thanks for taking my call. i'm not going to take very long to describe what i saw today. the dismissal of the two impeachment charges without one minute of listening to evidence. senator lee made the appropriate speech. this was all to say biden's chances to win the election that's all it was totally political. blew by the constitution we live in a banana republic. thank you. >> that's david sherry in pennsylvania line for democrats. sherry go ahead. >> hi thank you for listening to me. mayorkas is working with what he has to work with. republicans had a bill and the democrats went whroong that bill. and then trump said he didn't want it he was going to use it for his republicans that the republicans shouldn't push it. but you know what, mayorkas said what he said because that's what he has to work with. republicans do not wants to win the border crisis they

question now, does chuck schumer allow a trial or dismiss this out of hand?is is the historic walk we had anticipating become our own chad pergram is there are watching along with us and we heard from senator joni ernst and we have heard from senate republicans who have been demanding that schumer hold the mallorca's impeachment trial. as you see them walking these articles of impeachment 33 senators including ernst called on the senate to fulfill what they call is their constitutional duty by holding trial to consider the impeachment alejandro mayorkas. so, trace, this is the highly anticipated walk. this is what is happening is republicans pressure democrat colleagues not to dismiss this. >> it's interesting as chad pointed out no one has seen this is the first time this has happened in 148 years. that is the last time that you had, you know, you had a bureau person that was literally impeached. you think okay, well, this is the first time in 148 years and the debate is still on. just today during the hearing all hunger mallorca's made the claim there is no

chuck schumer doesn't want to do that. instead he wants to table the whole thing and he wants to move the table the article of impeachmenten reason number one, he doesn't want to allow the house managers to present the evidence of mayorkas end of this administration's willful decision to aid and a bed this criminal invasion oftt this country. the second reason he wants to table the articles of impeachment as he doesn't want a trial. he does not want the american people to seet the facts when each of us lay out the facts of what's going on no democrat argues there's not another slide. they don't defend it and to sayt it's a graded don't worry about the people dying, don't worry about the children being't raped or the mexican drug cartels making billions of dollars, the democrats have no response. the response is they count on the media not to report it. that's their entire strategy. and the third reason he does not want to senate democrats particularly those on the ballot in november to vote guilty or not guilty because it

schumer speak on the senate floor. >> what chuck schumer was trying to do there was give republicansity to have some debate, have some points of order on their issues with alejandro mayorkas and talk about this for a while. you usually don't have debate on the floor for such a proceeding in a senate trial but you can do that by unanimous consent. this is where all 100 senators would agree and what chuck schumer was asking for there was one hour of debate on tfirst impeachment article and offer several points of order and an hour on debate on the second impeachment, and one point of order and you have to get all 100 senators to agree to that. there is an objection, eric schmidt the senator from missouri the former attorney general from missouri says i am not going to allow chuck schumer to set the senate trial ablaze here so he objected so what happens then, you have a vote. basically work chuck schumer says all right, guys, i gave you a chance so he made a point of order and they are voting right now to kind of get rid of what eric schmidt objected to so that is the procedural vote g

is sitting on the desk in the senate and chuck schumer refuses to pass it.s only the claimant to be, somehow somewhat wide-eyed bill, lily what the bills says, every american knows of those, the bill says, if you are here illegally or even if you have a claim, as our law requires now, you should be detained. that is pretty much with the bill says. detained people who were here if they got a claim, adjudicate them and the remove them of the don't have a legitimate claim. if we did that, the flow would slow down to small manageable number, anybody with a legitimate crane we could process and we could secure the border. he refused to do that, the secretaries trying to mislead the american people as you always does which is why he was impeached properly by the u.s. house. >> neil: this is more of a dumb question than anything meaningful but he's not going to be impeached,'s can be convicted i should say, he has been impeached. but it doesn't look like 67 u.s. senators are going to convict. but let's say that is wrong, laissez does happen. the president is going

chuck schumer to set the senate trial ablaze here so he objected so what happens then, you have a vote. basically work chuck schumer says all right, guys, i gave you a chance so he made a point of order and they are voting right now to kind of get rid of what eric schmidt objected to so that is the procedural vote going on right now. at the end of this, there's a couple of different ways this could go. you could go back and have additional points of order made by republican senators to say we want to hear from mayorkas, we'll want to have him submit some written responses to our questions, that was one of the proposals out there, and you could go to the same process two or three times but at some point here chuck schumer will say look, i was willing to give you some debate time. we have limited for traffic in the senate, we have a deadline of friday night to approve liza which is on the clock right now the house approved that last week and they have it sync up your and we're waiting for the house the next couple of days to approve this international aid package and bring it across to t

will republicans be satisfied with what chuck schumer's proposing to give them? some votes, will they not be satisfied will lead to this more stalemate. but at the end of the day despite the votes are going to happen, we know the ultimate outcome. i'll hundred mayorkas will not be convicted by this democratic-led senate. only a matter of time is how to get there. but united states senate been united states senate needed all 100 senators to agree on having a vote. and if any one senator has their own idea then that doesn't happen. so that's what's going on right now, guys. >> know a lot of deliberating going on behind the scenes as monitor describe it. nothing is happening on the floor of the manu, please. standby. we want to go to mj lee, who's live four is at the white house mj. we just a moment ago, updated viewers on the situation outside the headquarters of the us steel workers union were president biden is expected to give remarks this afternoon. he's going to be met by protesters outside, but obviously the white house is watching these impeachment proceedin

we've, you know, chuck, covered the ongoing court cases. his civil trials as well as some of the motions hearings. this is a first, a trial, a criminal trial of a former president. >> well, it's why we shouldn't presume a lot of things. we're presuming a lot about public opinion, reaction, but when you -- as much as we think we know how trump is going to manipulate this process and as much as we have watched trump in the past successfully manipulate processes like this to at least mitigate political damage, not necessarily help himself, i also think we overrate the idea that he's been helping himself. i think it certainly deepens his ties to his political bas, but there's never been any improvement in the slice of voters he's going to need in order to win another term to office, and that's -- and this is sort of the double edged sword of this for this trial. i think the voters that are most persuadable on the president's behave and this trial might be the ones not paying a lot of attention. now, that's why i think the outcome to this -- i t

. >> i know this is right call to delay it because, chuck schumer wants this gone today.does the president they know this issue is a losing issue for them they know most americans know that the border is a complete tragedy a disaster, and to not be able to hear, the facts presented to the senate need maximum pressure campaign applied to people like jon tester, sherrod brown others need he courage to say hear facts american public deserves transparency. >> that was texas congressman mayorkas impeachment manager august pleuger on this program this morning citing the house decision to delay spending mayorkas impeachment articles to the senate urging mike johnson to do it next week preventing chuck schumer from tabling the trial roger martial says if schumer does not let this trial go on republicans will respond. >> tabling this impeachment articles is a nuclear option, in our estimation this is a nuclear option, it will necessitate some type of nuclear retaliations. >> joining me alabama senator tub vile member of verts affairs health education labor pensions committee thank

it's a lifelong pledge to chuck schumer.ited states known to be the leader globally of this effort to strengthen alliances with israel, when you when the us leads the way, president biden is now leading, that ends up eroding support across the rest of the country. and a quick question if it's okay for a general to, you see a lot of rhetoric coming from the left using terms like genocide and proportionality, and if you could just speak from from your experience as to what israel is doing, whether it's, you know, roof knockers, leaflets, the warnings, the effort that they're taking, the painstaking effort that they're taking, please, just, you know, speak to that so that we understand and can sort through the rhetoric. sure yeah. hey, lee. great, chat with you, the. i've never seen a military go through so much effort to make sure that there's no collateral damage, no civilian casualties. and it is absolutely, what they do is absolutely 100% trying to minimize civilian casualties and putting their own troops in harm's way that

>> chuck i'm going to cut to the quick here. what is it that these judges don't get with donald trump at this point, with the gag orders, with the imposing on penalties to check his road behavior. i don't get it. the man is now putting out subtle threat warnings to this judge, getting his base, we've already had how many incidences now where rogue members of his base have gone off and on stupid stuff. nancy pelosi's husband, et cetera. tell me, what am i missing, what is america missing that the courts just can't shut this man up? >> well, nobody has had much success with that, michael but i would say it this way. the judges have a job to do and their job is done in the courtroom. but they have to adjudicate a trial and there will be one soon, in new york, fairly and honestly and accurately. they can't react to everything he says or does or rights. they will make a ruling from the courtroom based on evidence, facts and law. it's like an umpire in a baseball game, they are not supposed to react to players who yell at them, they m

but he voted with chuck schumer on this issue. he believes there's the other vulnerable democrats who voted for killing that first article of impeachment. they believe that they could be on a higher ground and immigration because republicans, just a few months ago killed a bipartisan border security deal that they said but actually have fixed some of the problems and the southern border of mexico, republicans disagree with that. and the way they handle that will be litigated in the campaign. but they believed democrats believe they have an issue and look, we talk about the politics of this because that is really was driving so much of the strategy here republicans wants some ammunition to use against democrats in the healers campaign season. and democrats seem to be fine with the vasa. they're taking, which has to kill this impeachment proceeding. they did an article one that's going to happen sooner. article two, we'll see how much longer republicans don't decide to prolong this by pushing their own points here on the floor of th

now previously chuck schumer and the democrats have talked a lot about wanting to just table this. never in the history of the united states senate have we addressed articles of impeachment with a motion to table. they are now talking about doing a motion to dismiss, that begs the question on what basis are they going to move to dismiss, they haven't articulated the position. i suppose we will hear about that tomorrow. in any court of law that we know anything about in order to dismiss an accusation civil or criminal, you will have to make the case that the law doesn't allow what you -- you to do, what you're doing. it doesn't state a claim upon which relief can be granted or here a claim upon which a person can be impeached. i have yet to hear them make an argument to that effect. in the context of rule 12b6 motion to dismiss in civil litigation, you resolve all factual inferences and assume all facts alleged in favor of the plaintiff. the nonmoving party and if all those facts are true then and only then do you get to assess that the complaint fails the claim upon which relief ca

attorney, chuck rosenberg. vaughn, highlights from the gag order hearing. >> reporter: from the gag order hearing, was the fact that the judge has yet to make a determination on whether donald trump violated the gag order that he placed on him at the beginning of this trial. the prosecution brought forward ten specific social media posts in reference to donald trump's own comments to cameras upon leaving the courthouse in which he attacked michael cohen. now, over the course of nearly an hour and a half, the two sides went back and forth. the headline was judge merchan's frustration with todd blanche, questioning his credibility with the court because of his inability to articulate on behalf of donald trump the post that he says that trump was directly responding to, as to why he felt he could attack the likes of michael cohen as well as stormy daniels. but also when he reposted others' posts about individuals like the jurors or stormy daniels or michael cohen, whether donald trump was in fact standing by those

now, previously chuck schumer9 and the democrats have talked a lot about a just wanting to table this. never in the history of the united states senate have we addressed articles of impeachment with a motion to table. .. >> i have yet to hear any articulation of their theory hitted for them to insist and we just read and heard and read along with the chairman of the house impeachment committee representative mark green from the state of tennessee. you take all those facts to be true as i believe we must in this circumstance till we've had a chance to be finders of fact ourselves. there could be no doubt what the case for impeachment can be made and has been made here and that we must convene a trial to find the facts and reach ultimate verdict as guilt or innocence. we'll turn now to friend and colleague from texas, senator cruz. >> we've just witnessed history being made. only 22 times in our nation's history has the house of representatives presented and delivered articles of i mpeachment to the senate. only twice in our nation's history has a cabinet member been impeached by the ho

i have to agree with chuck. this is a violation. and i think that it is willful., he didn't respond to avenatti. he didn't respond directly to cohen. he did it publicly on a public forum and it has the potential to threaten the integrity of the criminal proceeding. >> back to vaughn for a moment. i understand there has been some interaction between the attorney for donald trump and the judge? what's happening? >> reporter: judge merchan dissatisfied with the answer that todd blanche is giving him when it comes to the specifics about what donald trump's intentions were. we're now under the third social media post, a direct mention of stormy daniels in an article related to her. and in which todd blanche is defending his client, donald trump, by saying that stormy daniels is broadcasting on twitter, talking to the press, having documentaries and that donald trump should be able to respond to the words that she is saying. and how critical she is of him to which judge merchan fired up in response and says, quote, i am asking a question. i keep asking you over and over

and msnbc contributor, chuck rosenberg. walk us through the points judge merchan has been making, addressing. there's any indication how long this was going to go on while potential jurors are waiting. >> reporter: excuse all the kind of noise around me. it's getting rather, i'll use the word festive, around here, to say the least. that's why i'm using this mike. a couple of things i want to walk through that's been happening throughout the day. again, i want to reiterate we are two and a half hours into this thing and we still have not begun jury selection. so first, judge merchan went over the scheduling. we know for instance this trial is going to take about four to six weeks or so. it seems although jury selection seems to be taking longer than we had expected. there was questions as to whether or not they were take to take off for the passover holiday. judge merchan saying that some of the defense asked for the first two days and last two days of passover to be off. he ruled on the 22nd and 23rd along with the 30rd, th

senate purposely because he's trying to get around to what chuck schumer is going to do. this, of course, is going to delay the trial of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. and it's going to delay it until next week. the reason is the senate republicans are warning that majority leader chuck schumer was planning on tabling the trial ahead of the weekend and then sending everybody home, sending the senators home. president biden telling univision in a new interview that republicans are responsible for this border crisis. and he claims he's looking into a border executive order. watch this. we're examining whether or not i have that power. i would have that power under the legislation when the border has over five, 500,000 people, 5000 people a day trying to cross the border because you can't manage it, slow it up. there's no there's no guarantee that i have that power all by myself. without legislation. then what is he talking about? lee? he's so full of it. he. i mean, and by the way, this is beyond incompetency. this is on purpose. this crisis at the border h

chuck schumer rides again. speaking of re-- i guess that failed, i don't know what there is to know, it looks like mayorkas is getting off scot-free, what is the next step? you don't want this issue to die regardless of mayorkas. biden you hear rumors mr. speaker he will use some executive authority 212 it was g, i don't see anything on sanctions again iran, and i don't see anything about sanctions to close our border. >> no, that is why we put sanction in legislation to go after iran and china is russia. on border, i have been telling president since the day i got the gavel, the next day. we met at white house and talked about border, we have been talking about it with his staff and with him, redemand they use that executive order. i delivered to president's menu of 8 executive actions he could take. under existing federal law, he access like he has no ability or he dues mot does not believe it is true, that is a nonsense, he does not top close the border, that is clear, why? i think we know. they want to unde

it's been sitting on chuck schumer's desk.se acts out of the house, and they get stopped in the senate. see, the open borders democrats control the senate and the white house, obviously. so we've not been able to have a law making exercise to meet that critical objective. but we're fighting every day. that's why we've been demanding that president biden use his executive authority to seal that a border. president trump reiterated that demand at our press conference together on friday. we need the white house to step up. in the meantime, congress has to fulfill its obligations. if we had shut the government down, maria, in that appropriations process, that would have been on us. remember, the white house controls the pain that's inflected on the american people when the government shuts down. imagine tsa agents not being paid and flights being canceled for americans, border patrol agents not being paid and those open borders, the responsibility being shifted to us. imagine troops not being paid at this dangerous time. that simp

at least to the extent, chuck, they saw each other pretty regularly. he actually started a magazine for donald trump. they would see each other at the very least quarterly, but often multiple times, of course, sometimes once a month. is that relationship that was established early on important? does it give him credibility as somebody talking about donald trump? >> to catherine's point, you're not just laying the foundation to admit documents. you're also laying the foundation to the jury as to why they ought to believe, you know, mr. pecker. and when he says, for instance, that trump was detail oriented or micromanager, how would he know that? he would know that because they have spent so much time together. he would know that because they have discussed business together. so, you're laying the foundation in many ways, and, by the way, you're not just doing it through mr. pecker. he's, you know, witness number one on days number one and two. they're going to be many more witnesses, and they're going -- the prosecutors are going to ask all the witnesse

have you heard back from senator chuck shy shaw her?mer. >> he's our senator, obviously. not a word. because the democrats are consumed with politics. if they stand up to this anti-semetic crowd that means they have to stand up to a couple districts, rashida tlaib's district in dearborn, michigan which could decide the presidential race, could decide the control of the senate. remember, this is all about power for chuck schumer and the democrats and joe biden. these poor students are victimized now at columbia and even cornell and we're seeing in syracuse university, my reason , yale, a over the country. they are hiding and using bypassing our laws against using not for profit money for political speech and now they're getting violent and intimidating jewish students and where are our leaders, especially chuck schumer. they're so consumed, guess what, we could lose the michigan seat, that could be taken over by a republican. the entire 2020 election was decided by 42 to 44,000 votes depending on who is counting in those swing states and

maria: he keeps blaming the fact that there hanging on by a string. >> service chuck schumer chuck schumer a majority as anyone else certainly if not bigger or smaller than speaker johnson. maria: that's a great point. >> the real issue on the border issue, then play into the hands of the biden administration by accepting a narrative that congress responsibility in congress' fault in fact no matter what they pass if they possibly enter greatest porterville upper wave administration that will not enforce the law but to undermine the law and obstructing efforts to enforcement. we saw there willing to throw their own border agents under the bus and lie about them and they're afraid to speak out against the most horrific crimes like blake and riley and things like that. about what congress has passed with this administration it is not going to be a force in the open border will continue. the only thing to change it is with the new administration committed to enforcing the border. maria: there is expectation that johnson will actually await joe biden doing something that impact the white house

chuck was saying to jack.get rid of your wife or get the hell out of here. i started packing. jack wasn't going to loave. i felt like the world was ending. i had never been hurt so badly. it was horrible. but jack said chuck saved my life. >> you had children separated from parents, you had people married for years. i saw that chalkboard, it was a digram. you put married couples and circle one name and then put an arrow to who they would mix and match with. these people were pressured to divorce, remarry people that chuck chose for them. how many of the families were able to reconnect and recover? how did they manage that? >> a lot of them stayed with their new partners. one of the things that happened with chuck that was so fascinating is he would go through some kind of a life experience and then make some changes for himself so. so his wife died and then he married a new wife and then he decided everyone should do this. he made the announcement over what was called the wire, their communication system, ever

we shouldn't the site step in despair previously chuck schumer of the democrats have talked a lot about wanting to just table this, it never in history of the united states said it had we address articles of impeachment with a motion to table. they are not talking about doing a motion to dismiss. that begs the question, a what basis are they going to move dismiss what they are not articulate their position. i suppose we'll hear more about that tomorrow. in any court of law that i know anything about an order to simply dismiss an accusation civil or criminal you will have to make the case that the law doesn't allow what you to do, what you were doing. it doesn't state a claim upon which relief can be granted or hear a claim upon which a person can be impeached. i have yet to the make an argument about that. in the context of rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss in civil litigation you resolve all factual inferences and assume all facts alleged in favor of the plaintiff. the nonmoving party. and if all the facts are true then and only then do you get to assess that the complaint fails to state

in fact, the very important point is that chuck schumer made a point of order, a point of order to blockking any amendments, blocked the consideration of any applications, and what they want to do now in the senate is to vote this bill in its pure form, exactly the same as. he was voted in the house of representatives, why? because if any amendments are made to the bill today, it will mean that the bill will go back to the house of representatives, which will once again delay aid to ukraine, which has already been stuck for six months, like, six months, if not can pass a vote, and so the senate is trying to pass a vote without any amendments, and in particular, chuck schumer, the leader democrats, applied the corresponding clause, respectively, a procedural moment to block the introduction of any amendments, therefore, only the debate and only this moment can delay the consideration of aid to ukraine, the only question is how long the debate between the republicans and the democrats will last, and the only question now that can affect aid to ukraine is only time, whether it will be delay

today on the website of the majority leader in the senate democrat chuck schumer released a preliminary plan, the plan of the schedule for the consideration of this bill tomorrow, so the meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. in washington, it will be the 17th in kiev, and it is expected that for several hours there will be various debates. , also in the schedule it is written that there is a possibility of amendments, but as the experts of the razum for ukraine organization explained to me directly, schumer is most likely to propose a certain procedural, procedural solution to block any amendments, so that this draft law is voted in its pure form, as it was agreed to in the house of representatives, because if there are any ... additional amendments in the senate, then the bill will go back to the house of representatives and again, so to speak, drag out the process. hence the senate tries to avoid any amendments, there will be at least several hours of debate and discussion, there will be speeches by various representatives who will actually speak for or against this aid package, and the vo

chuck, i'm looking at the jury instructions. one of the things that judge merchan insfrukted the jury this morning is what the lawyers say at any time is not evidence. we're about to hear from the lawyers this morning in their opening statements. both sides had the weekend to prepare. what's the goal of opening statements? >> the opening statement -- and it's not an argument, ana. it's a statement. arguments are prohibited during opening -- is really roadmap from a prosecutor's perspective. he or she will be telling the jury what documents might be admitted, what particular witnesses might say. it's a promise to the jury of what they're about to see. if you were going to a movie, you might watch a trailer. the trailer would tell you what's in the movie. in this case the opening statement is the trailer for the trial. it tells you what you're going to see and hear. from a defense attorney's perspective, they can do a couple of things. caroline made the point earlier that the defense attorneys don't have to do anything. they don't

chuck todd is chief nbc analyst, and robert gibbs, an msnbc political analyst.k, you and i have spoken about whether we'll ever see these two candidates on a debate stage together, but should the biden campaign worry that trump clearly is not going to let this go? >> i don't know if they should worry about it. this is awfully early, and usually the guy calling for the debates, there's a reason he's doing it, and the snarky retort from the biden campaign kind of gets at it. they hint at the reason why he's doing it, which is, hey, he needs an event that's paid for by somebody else. he needs more free events, more free media, even the trump campaign has admitted, his rallies are very expensive, and he does have cash issues right now. but, look, i have been a skeptic that we'll have any debates, but i do think that biden is somebody who does believe in, quote, institutions. and if the commission on presidential debates puts out a schedule and trump agrees to it, i don't know how the biden campaign says no to it. now, i'm not convinced that trump will say yes to wha

well a course we know what changed for chuck schumer. because he was desperate to hold onto the majority of this house and he did not want some of the senators who are highly contested and their races to have to take a vote on the mayorkas impeachment. why is that madam president? it is because the number one issue with the american people is that open southern border and who is it that has regularly to this chamber, to the house and to the american people about what's going on at the southern border? it is secretary alejandro mayorkas. repeatedly, repeatedly stood before the american people, stood before us in hearings and committees and said the border is secure. anyone who was watching, anyone who has ever been to that border knows the border is not secure. they know that on the side of that border it is being run by the cartel. you can spend an hour with the border patrol and you will find out. last year there were people from 170 different countries that came to that southern border seeking entry and not one of them got here on thei
