had a few minutes with the report. andrew, let me get your first reactions to anything that has leapt out at you, if anything. recognizing that you ve only had a few minutes, i m gonna give you more time to read, this but this is just your first headline reaction to it. yeah no i see dan and i are doing the same thing. we are trying to do two things at the same time. this is a monumental, or as you said, it is over 800 pages and there are four appendices that look fascinating, addressing such minor issues as the preparation of law enforcement to meet the challenges of january 6th and whether there was foreign interference in the 2020 election there were these appendices, and they re trying to take the entire report. and then the table of contents is really, to me, attracts what i think is the genius of the january six committee. which is really focusing on all of the different ways that the former president tried to stay in office. as opposed to just thinking about january
Capitol hill its left the House Majority in a new crisis of its own making. President biden, saying today that the short term fix that keeps the government open through November 17th is a step in the right direction. He warned the gopcontrolled house that chaos is no way to govern. It is time to end governing by crisis, and keep your word when you give it in the congress. A few months ago, after a long negotiation between myself and republican speaker of the house of representatives, we came to agree on a Budget Agreement precisely to avoid any manufactured crisis that we just witnessed. The last few days, and the weeks, extreme maga republicans have tried to walk away from that deal. I strongly urge my republican friends in congress to not wait. Dont waste time as you did all summer. Past the yearlong Budget Agreement, honor the deal that we made a few months ago. The tempered deal includes new funding for Disaster Relief and important funding for the faa. It does not include new aid
In the right direction. He warned the gopcontrolled house that chaos is no way to govern. It is time to end governing by crisis, and keep your word when you give it in the congress.

Funding legislation must be passed before october 1st, and the president has started to make his case or have his team make the case because last hour we witnessed the First White House press bereaving in 32 days. In. The fiscal year to 20 budget provides size able bumt for completion of the wall and other security resources. Was there anything in the president s budget request that has mexico paying for the wall. As the president stated a number of times a new trade deal that we look forward to being passed soon, that will be how that takes place. That trade agreement is still pending.
