maria: mr.bring a bill to the floor to send money to ukraine without having secured the border? >> so, maria, what marjorie fails to notice is that we have been fighting on the border. we fight on it every day. we passed our comprehensive border security package, h.r. 2, at the very beginning of this congress. it's been sitting on chuck schumer's desk. we passed these 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 u

maria: yeah. you know, there are many stark warning, right? the fact that we have this protest movement going across the country it's not just students as you and others have pointed out, it's now being backed by all kinds of anti-american groups and funding. soen one would hope that when all these schools go on summer break, maybe this calms down. to dershowitz's point, maybe it doesn't because maybe now this has become such an organic uprising of anti-american forces in our own country that it really takes on new life. by the way, i think the democrats have to be very concerned that they're going to see a lot of this at their convention in chicago. chris mentioned earlier, you know, hollywood put on a big show at that convention and organizing it. maybe they just won't show it, but i think it's going to be pretty hard to hide thousands of people coming out to protest the president. maria: it's a good point. what is stephen spielberg going to do about that, chris. >> i think liz is right, there's

maria: yeah. it's true. all right. we will keep on this. we'll take a short break. when we come back the race for the white house is on, most americans not feeling good about president biden's first term, calls are growing for a biden, trump debate. let's see them both on stage one on one. former presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy is here to discuss the state of race. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. morikawa on 18. he is really boxed in here. -not a good spot. off the comcast business van. into the vending area. oh, not the fries! where's the ball? -anybody see it? oh wait, there it is! -back into play and... aw no, it's in the water. wait a minute... -alligator. are you kidding me? you got to be kidding me. rolling towards the cup, and it's in the hole! what an impossible shot brought to you by comcast business. you can cashback 5% on travel purchased through chase with freedom unlimited and... buy better plane seats. switch to a king suite. or book a

maria: and?ia: they said it was unconstitutional chuck schumer would not even hear it. >> he gives up the game he said we should accuse people policy differences. if your policy is undermining the rule of law and not enforcing the law, you should be impeached. this is absolutely ridiculous. the reason they do not want a trial, not because they were right, they're wrong and they don't want the american people to see how bad this is and how it's a plan and deliberate action to undermine the law for purely political purposes. i think i'll pay a price and senator tessler will pay a price in november. maria: democrats are in charge of the senate we knew it would die in the senate. >> it pains me as a republican to say this don't hate the player hit the game chuck schumer is better at mangling his conference in india the legislative leader in washington and any other leader around the country the jig was up the minute it came to the floor they had the majority. the american public sees that the way you

maria: period. they want it either through the open border or you through flights, whatever it is, they want more people. is there any other way to look at it? >> no, they want more people and we know why they want more people. they want votes. maria: right. >> and a this just might be a way to do it. and wouldn't it be -- maria: and it it does shift the senses sus. census. shifts congressional seats. >> once they come in, they don't want democratic p policie. once they are here, they see it fails them. maria: when they go to democratic run cities, the democrat congressional candidates will get more seats because it's more people so it doesn't matter if they're voting the way they want them to vote or not in the beginning. they're getting the seats because of the census. we'll take a look at federal reserve chairman jay powell dialing back rate cut expectations yesterday after a lack of progress on inflation this year, not the progress he wanted to see. we've got the word on wall street coming up wi
