aid to israel, ukraine, border security and other congressional news of the day first with wall street journal immigration reporter michelle hatman and north carolina democratic congressman don david, california democratic congresswoman and new york republican congressman anthony. c-span's washington journal joining the conversation live at 7:00 the eastern wednesday morning on c-span, c-span now or online at c-span.org. >> wednesday the senate banking committee holds annual oversight hearing of wall street firms with the ceo's of goldman sachs, citigroup, j.p. morgan chase, bank of america and wells fargo. c-span 3, coming up david potreus former cia director and retired commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan. he also discussing ammunitions, the role of diplomacy and need for deterrence between world superpowers, this virtual event was hosted by the atlantic council. >> so good morning, everybody. i'm fred kemp. president and ceo of the atlantic council and i'm pleased to welcome you to atlantic council front page. this is our premier virtual platform for global leaders. and we have

host: can you explain the funding for israel, ukraine and border security that the senate does not reject? guest: that is a great question. i think speaker johnson is encountering a lot of the same dynamic -- dynamic that speaker mccarthy was dealing with. it is a hard balancing act. there is an amped up right flank of the conference and you have those that president biden carried. it is going to be challenging for anybody and i think speaker johnson, competing priorities versus the rank and file member as to how you structure a package that can get through and hold off the concerns. i spoke with him in committees quite a bit, but i have not spoken to him that much. host: what was his relationship like with the press? guest: speaker pelosi had regular press conferences, something we have seen a couple times from speaker johnson. reporters -- she had really wide access, something that was definitely appreciated, but i think speaker johnson is still navigating what persona he is wanting to project. he has given press conferences for a number of things. he has not been gaveling too much, not

must be recognized that the us spends on belarus. significantly reduced , taking into account israel, ukrainethey are moving further and further from the trough, of course, and therefore it must be said that the belarusian so-called opposition, if we take the agenda, what they are now discussing in conditions of isolation from the belarusian world, and they are discussing that israel , they are discussing, we saw martynova, yes, how wonderfully she acted like a nazi, and we see that they are discussing ukrainian issues, but not the internal agenda, by the way, kovalkova even spoke about this, she said, we are discussing here... the eu, not the eu, but no way , not those processes that could at least influence the environment of the belarusian emigration, because it is becoming increasingly difficult for the emigration to live, while one young lady, along with a photograph of her husband, goes on trips abroad, for some reason it is becoming increasingly difficult for the belarusian emigration to live, today, those programs that they are published, well , every belarusian probably needs to read

israel, ukraine, the indo-pacific, humanitarian, and our southern border. and, yes, we should be able to come to a compromise on addressing border security. the democrats stand ready to work with our colleagues in the se senate. we can come up with a compromise. we can do this in a way that is in the united states' national security interests. with that, mr. president, i would like to turn the time over to senator durbin. the presiding officer: the majority whip mr. durbin: mr. president, i thank senator shaheen. in 1978 before i was elected to congress, i had an opportunity to take a trip, a three-week trip to the soviet -- reserving the right to onth. in 1978 -- to object. in 19d 78 before i was elected to congress, i had the opportunity to take a trip to the soviet union. spent three weeks there. a saw a lot. and in addition to the visits to russia and miscow, we visited countries like lithuania where my mother was born. i witnessed firsthand the vision of vladimir putin and the soviet union because make no mistake, his goal is to restore the soviet unio

national security interest on the line again with funding for israel, ukraine, the indo-pacific and theorder stalled. the white house on offense against the g.o.p. >> history will remember them harshly. >> president biden says he would embrace significant policy changes without divulging what they're. >> the gap seems to be between what the president is offering, which you don't have any details on, and what senate democrats have been willing to put into a package. >> there is probably a reason why you don't have perfect visibility into what everybody is saying behind closed doors and i think that's appropriate. we're not going to start negotiation in public. >> house republicans want to raise asylum thresholds and restart border wall construction. their bail nonstarter. >> it mandates detention of all families. that's extreme. >> democrats want to deal with funding now. policy later. >> if immigration reform takes time, we should do big things and take the time to do it. >> the administration says it's on republicans to bend. >> it's kind of a take no prisoners approach. all or nothing

a massive aid package for israel, ukraine and taiwan remains stuck in the senate.ublicans are vowing to block the package until democrats include sweeping immigration reforms. our dc's raquel martin has the latest from capitol hill after bipartisan negotiations broke down last week. senate majority leader chuck schumer says he's moving forward with the president's multi billion dollar request. >> israel, ukraine and taiwan. this is a historic moment and this cannot be delayed any longer. the president's request also includes money to block the flow of fentanyl at the southern border. but republicans are demanding more sweeping changes to reform who can claim asylum. we have now literally 10,000 people every single day being apprehended illegally in our southern border. that is a a national security crisis. tuesday schumer said he will allow a vote republicans proposal unlikely to garner the needed support from democratic generous offer. senate republicans don't think so. they're vowing to block the larger package if their demands are not republicans have serious so

the question looming over the new speaker is how is he going to address israel, ukraine, government fundingt year, and he doesn't have answers at this point because he's still settling into the job. >> he has a january 19th shutdown deadline hanging over his head. i mean, ed, we've been talking about this throughout the program. does the white house need to step in here and close a deal on the border? do he they want to? >> they would like to. the president would like to come up with something. there will be pain to pay with certain elements of the democratic party. deal making is his thing, especially if it's a bipartisan deal, even if it could be ugly. they have to try to get something done on this, if only to sort of go into an election saying i'm addressing the second most important or urgent issue to voters and demonstrate whether you can do something. whether he picks up the phone and getting into the details remains to be seen. if we see more engagement from the chief of staff and others doing this that's a sign they are getting closer. he got burned a lot spending too much time on l

if ukraine's funding is not tied to aid to israel, ukraine by the end of 2023 or early 2024 is small.about where their donations go. american journalist clayton maurice says: you will be surprised to learn that ukrainian presidential. somehow managed to buy two multi-million dollar yachts worth a total of 75 million dollars, this is done through money laundering or through a proxy, his wife begged money from world governments, and then was caught going to paris to buy all this expensive jewelry, bags and more. so, america sends you a lot of money, your wife goes shopping in paris, you see how it works, now zelsky has bought two yachts. according to the journalist, yachts were bought for zelensky. this is a great way for your own italian villa to sail away after expulsion, the europeans are a reason for not being accepted into the european union, the problem is the enormous power that the team of irresponsible advisers around zelsky has, which creates a potential opportunity for influence trading, there is a risk of the emergence of new oligarchs thanks to connections with the authorit

we just won't be able to support, whether it is israel, ukraine, our efforts to modernize our fleet inndo pacific, we need the support of congress. we urge congress not only to pass this supplemental request, but we are operating without a full term, full year appropriations bill. we are still operating under a short-term cr, which is not ideal for this department, and our adversaries do not operate under cr's, so we would urge congress to give us in on time full appropriations funding for the year. host: thank you so much for joining us on bbc news today. guest: thank you. host: republicans in the congress continue to call for tougher immigration policies at the u.s. border with mexico in exchange for israel and ukraine eight. our partners say border patrol processed near record numbers of migrants crossing the border in the past several days, making some 10,000 apprehensions every 24 hours. our north american editor has more from california. >> just get in line. correspondent: this is not what the u.s. border patrol are used to. illegal immigrants who snuck into america lining up to

with the biden administration saying that we need to do a national security package that has israel, ukrainetaiwan, and the border and they immediately came out and said we need more than funding. the word they used is funding percent border as a tourniquet, a change in policy. we've responded back to that and say we 100% agree on it and have to have a change in policy on this. the push and pull is a political push and pull. if i talk to anyone in the country outside of washington, d.c., they would say the border is chaotic right now. we have the highest number of crossings of any september ever last september. the highest october ever. the highest november ever. we had the highest single day this last week. it is spiraling out of control. all we're trying to do is say what tools are needed to be able to get this back in control so we don't have the chaos on our southern border. >> well, the president is asking for that $14 billion as you said but they separate funding from policy changes. but the president did say he's -- he's willing to make significant compromises on policy to fix a broke

ukraine, or israel? ukraine has a full-scale war. others would say, ukraine is already receiving support. now israel is facing a significant challenge. those are the voices we have heard in the beginning of this tragedy. that is why this is definitely not having a positive impact on ukraine. as for my visit to the region and to the middle east, i was ready in the very beginning -- this is a fact -- and that was my direct signal to their counterparts abroad. well, may be had different priorities. i can't play a lot with my own agenda and priorities, because i am leaving the country at war now. >> now, the associated press, close by. please get up. reporter: good afternoon. could you tell us please, if donald trump is elected as the next president of the united states, his policy would be an attempt to freeze the war and reduce support. do you think you will be able to convince him? thank you. pres. zelenskyy: thank you for this question. i think he will have a different policy. he is a different person. if he were elected as the presi

right about one thing: the single biggest obstacle to providing urgently needed relief resources israel, ukraine and taiwan, the refusal of the democrats to deal with the crisis on the southern border. national security begins at home. congress was already supposed to go on vacation in rezdlyani. the senate, where the majority is held by democrats, resumed work yesterday. but the republican house of representatives - no. according to bloomberg, they will have time to agree on assistance after january 1. talks on ways to get more national security assistance have not made much progress in the past few days. if we consider some matter is important and urgent, then we have to stay and do the work. the us senate and , accordingly, the congress, in general, by the end of the year , are unlikely to pass new restrictions on border security, on which the allocation of billions of dollars in aid to ukraine depends. a politician writes about it. kateryna danylovych, the only public news. well, let's talk about it further with myroslava gongadze, head of voice of america broadcasting in eastern europe. ms.

one of the ideologues of our project, he is an israeli, he has been working for 15 years, how israel-ukraine has been working in the medical sector, and he is on the beginning of the war was in ukraine, at first they were engaged in helping to evacuate jews abroad, those who wanted, and he saw the situation at... the border such that there are a lot of people, especially women with children, who are leaving, cold, few people days on the move in constant such tension, and they needed help of various kinds, yes, such a variety, let's say specifics, and the first thing is primary care, and then he created the first groups of doctors, they were mainly from israel. who made such camps on the moldova-ukraine border, that is where they helped the displaced people as much as they could at that time, and upon arriving in kyiv, he realized that such help would probably be needed in all territories, especially now in the de-occupied territories, and this was chernihiv region, the first de-occupation , chernihiv region, kyiv region, and he wrote on facebook, that the doctors who now have the opportunity

iran, he has done several major favors to iran recently, so it is as if saudi arabia is fighting israel, ukrainenited states. the strategy was very simple, if ukraine loses, with the helplessness of the usa, or israel suffers a defeat under the joint strikes of all terrorist groups, this completely discredits the united states, well, all these signals are perfectly understood in the far east, then in general he took it with his bare hands. in taiwan, in this his goal was to provoke putin's war against ukraine and iran against israel, but it all failed, putin lost the war in ukraine, president biden sent two aircraft carriers to the shores of israel, showed that nothing would come of it there well, the smart one understood that well, china has a long history of 5,000 years of written history, the union with taiwan will have to be transferred for another... maybe for 1,000 years, at least not with these allies, and in addition, in addition, it is collapsing before our eyes, from- against this opposition of the chinese economy, he came to san francisco and did two things, firstly, at a closed meeti

we would be able to continue to support whether it is israel, ukraine, our efforts in the indo—pacificise our fleet. we need the support of congress. that is why we urge congress to not only is pasta supplement to request but also operating without a year of appropriations. but we are still operating under short term cr which is not ideal for this department and frankly other countries, avatars do not operate under it and we urge congress not the only pass the supplemental but give us on—time, full appropriations funding for the year. the pentagon's sabrina singh speaking there. now, vladimir putin announced on friday that he will stand for re—election as russian president when his term ends next year. the decision was widely expected and confirmed following an awards ceremony in moscow. from moscow, our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. it had been his decision to invade ukraine. today, vladimir putin honoured russian soldiers who've been fighting in his war. there was pomp and patriotism, and more than a hint of kremlin choreography about what came next. president putin was surr

in the white house , i don't know that they will push out the package, this 61.4 billion for israel, ukraineiwan and the border and that... maybe it will decrease a little, maybe by some amount, but it will be the main one for the whole year. this is the only thing that i can explain now to all such pro-ukrainian people, including linisa graham, yes, republicans, about michim conel , there are others, by the way, the senate is now trying to somehow correct the situation and continue for a week, well, according to the information, for now there to continue its work and still make a decision, pushing the house of representatives and the same shirt . johnson to change his approach, but mike johnson will not change his approach, he has donald trump behind him. and who is behind donald trump, we do not know to the end, because his decision in principle, well, we can say, behind him is that part of the americans who speak for isolationism and for the reduction of the external, up to the exit from nato, for example, that's why such a signal is not very pleasant for me, i found. in the adopted new m

that includes military aid for israel, ukraine and ty want, and as the white house is now warning, time is running out for washington's allies in kiev. but while democrats in both the house and senate are ready to sign off on the money and the name of national security, republicans are saying not so fast. they are arguing that a fine and wants his money for ukraine. then democrats, me to address national security here at home by addressing concern surrounding the southern border, which includes agreed to strengthen us asylum and parole laws and immigration proceedings. the biden administration has failed to substantively address any of my conferences, legitimate concerns about the lack of a clear strategy in ukraine. a path to resolving the conflict or a plan for adequately ensuring account's ability for aid provided by american taxpayers. meanwhile, the administration is continually ignoring the catastrophe at our own border house . republicans have resolved that any national security supplemental package must begin with our own border. and it's not just republicans who were questionin

that the extreme right, including, denied that israel should be included in the same package , israel, ukraine and taiwan. now, as far as i can see, there's no objection, and that's a big plus, yes. the question remains an internal political question within the united states of america. this is about the so-called wall on the mexican border, which was initiated by trump. this is still fundamental question, they have disagreements about this, although we see reports that the white house is ready to make concessions, because national minorities, including those who actively migrate across the mexican border, they are a traditional electoral base of the democrats and are not a traditional electoral base. base of republicans, and a plus, of course, that most likely with a high degree of probability we can say that trump will still be nominated by the republican party, and this will also be part of his pre-election campaign campaigns, this is an internal, purely internal political issue, on which neither we, nor you, none of us have any influence. mr. taras, are you interested in why not our ukrain

aid to israel, ukraine, border security and other congressional news of the day first with wall street journal immigration reporter michelle hatman and north carolina democratic congressman don david, california democratic congresswoman and new york republican congressman anthony. c-span's washington journal joining the conversation live at 7:00 the eastern wednesday morning on c-span, c-span now or online at c-span.org. >> wednesday the senate banking committee holds annual oversight hearing of wall street firms with the ceo's of goldman sachs, citigroup, j.p. morgan chase, bank of america and wells fargo. c-span 3, coming up david potreus former cia director and retired commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan. he also discussing ammunitions, the role of diplomacy and need for deterrence between world superpowers, this virtual event was hosted by the atlantic council. >> so good morning, everybody. i'm fred kemp. president and ceo of the atlantic council and i'm pleased to welcome you to atlantic council front page. this is our premier virtual platform for global leaders. and we have

and the house left without doing israel ukraine and the border, and they punted that to the senate. i am hopeful we can get a deal because it's too important to the world, quite frankly. >> the president has been saying, i guess quietly, that in recent weeks he has been open to somewhat has been described to a significant compromise on border security to try and beef up what is being implemented in terms of measures to control the influx of migrants coming into the country. do you think the president or white house might have missed that window of opportunity and should have worked on that sooner, and is giving a gift to the political gift to the gop, and you have heard trump saying as the border is ridiculous, and he's seizing on a matter that is in fair favor. >> we can get in there in january and solve the problem, and let's not pretend that donald trump will not lie to the crowd. i think the president is right. i think putting a grand deal together with all of the issues -- obviously we have to make sure this country is still the beacon of the world, and people still escaping pe

celebrities like that of ian mckellen or scarletjohansson to pose as ordinary users from germany, israel, ukraineow, they have no personal information on their accounts, as you can see here, and most of them only ever posted one video. tiktok told me this is a tactic they have not seen before and some experts say the approach appears to be tailored to the platform's unique algorithm. because they're not necessarily trying to get followers for those accounts because of the unique way that tiktok pushes out content. perhaps the sort of single serving effort is a way to avoid detection of any individual account, whilst still having your content up there on the platform. so how do we know these accounts are part of a russian propaganda effort? firstly, the content. all of the accounts we found promote propaganda about ukraine that echoes russian state tv. like this video that went viral earlier this year injuly. it claims that the daughter of former ukrainian defence minister oleksii reznikov bought a luxury villa in france. i spoke to anastasiya shteinhauz and asked her if this was true. unfortunate

in the senate, they are intending to include all the aid for israel, ukraine, taiwan, border funding in addition to the border policy that they are trying to work out. in the house, speaker johnson has warned they probably can't pass it as a big package. it is a thin majority that got thinner as george santos was expelled from congress. so they have struggling to get things done. he's saying maybe i can package ukraine and border funding. even conservatives in his conference are pushing back, saying we want border funding signed into law. we want the border secured before we would consider ukraine funding. so it's not clear they can do it in the next few weeks. >> it is a compressed timeline. mika, speaker mike johnson continues to run into a lot of issues within his own party and trying to govern within -- with his members. it's tough and hard to get them on board and how he has that tiny little margin that he's working with. is this just the latest example of what he will keep getting himself into? they have this government funding deadline coming up not too long from now. >> yeah.

in the coming day negotiations will resume over funding for israel, ukraine and security along the southern u.s. border. cnn's priscilla alvarez reports from the white house. >> reporter: senate negotiators and biden administration officials wrapped another day of meeting as they try to reach consensus to pass a key funding request. in october the white house requested billions in additional funding for ukraine and israel as well as for border security and other priorities. but that request has remained stalled as republicans urge the white house to attach border policy changes to that supplemental as they are unhappy with the situation along the u.s. southern border. president biden has said that he is open to compromise and senate negotiators well as white house officials have been workining around the clock to discuss some potential changes.. soururces tell msome of the proposals on the tabable includ for example raisinthe credible fear standard for asylum seekekers, mandatoryry detentio migrants as well as s expandingf fast track deportation procecede and expelling migrants at the u.s.

let's think of palestine, israel, ukraine. let's also think of those who are suffering because of misery, hunger and slavery. >> and tomorrow on christmas day pope francis will also deliver his blessing from the balcony at st. fighters square, that traditional christmas blessing will also be broadcast live all around the world. we will be right back.

our negotiations are stuck so let's have it and move it, we need that assistance for israel, ukraine, a bunch of places and to me, that is the first step. let's actually start negotiating and then the conversation is going to play out. >> thank you and happy hanukkah to you. >>> just ahead a texas judge is ruling in favor of a woman seeking an emergency abortion. we will tell you what that could for the states strict limits on the procedure. >>> a texas judge has ruled that a woman seeking a court ordered abortion can legally terminate her pregnancy but the texas attorney general is warning that any doctors who perform the procedure could face legal jeopardy. what happens next here? >> reporter: well, it has really intensified here this afternoon, as the attorneys for this woman, 31-year-old kate cox said it's unforgivable that this mother, who is 20 weeks pregnant, had to go before a judge today and essentially beg for an abortion to protect her life and her future for fertility. kate cox is pregnant, the baby has been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that essentially is fatal

they do have a lot on there to dito do list before the holidays, funding for israel, ukraine and a border immigration deal, ukraine president zelenskyy coming to capitol hill this week, by in invitation from president. who hopes that zelenskyy is sway the skeptical lawmakers to give them more money. president will make gets this done a priority. >> continue to make clear his case for why additional funding for ukraine and israel are vital to our own national security interest at this time, and keep urging negotiations forward, and urging compromise with the goal of getting these all of these national security issues fully funded as we need, they are urgent. reporter: on border, border state governors watching republicans, and encouraging them to not give up leverage or settle in the negotiations. >> republicans right now in congress are negotiating with the biden administration with policies that would provide relief if not eliminate all of the illegal border crossings, they must hold fast. and negotiate with the biden administration. reporter: abbott said there should be no deal until th

southern border and to helping our partners and allies confront and deter serious threats in israel, ukraine and the indo-pacific. the senate will not let these national security challenges go unanswered. now, when we return in the new year we hope to take swift action on the national security supplemental. passing a national security supplemental is not going to be easy. it's one of the hardest things this senator has undertaken in a very long time. it will take compromise, good faith, and recognition from both sides that nobody is going to get everything they want. democrats will continue to work in good faith with our republican counterparts to get things done. we will not abandon our principles on border, but we will work to find common ground wherever we can. let me be clear -- it will take cooperation from serious-minded republicans to get this done. again, it will take cooperation from serious minded republicans to pass a national security supplemental. i know some on the other side will never vote for it, but there are many who understand the need, to both give ukraine, israel humani
