Com today its wednesday, april 24th, right now on santa and this morning President Biden preparing to sign a 95 billion foreign aid package that finally made it through both chambers of Congress Donald trump seemingly violating the gag order last night while a judge decides whether he violated that same gag order, at least ten other times before that and a midnight deadline for protesters to disband comes and goes at Columbia University. Both sides agreeing to keep talking all right. 5 00 a. M. Here in washington, heres a live look at capitol hill. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you he with us later on this morning, President Biden is expected to sign a long awaited foreign aid bill into law. If passed the senate late last night, after six months of delays from hardline, republicans the 95 billion deal includes funding for ukraine, israel, and taiwan after more than six months of hard work, many twists and turns in the road. Americas sends a message to the entire world. We will not turn our back on. You. I left a message for president zelenskyy tonight, he had called me the other day and said, okay, we got it done now, go win the fight so shortly after the vote, President Biden praised the bills passage, saying the us will begin sending weapons to ukraine as soon as this week, the legislation also includes a potential ban of tiktok gives the Apps Owner Bytedance that of course is that Chinese Company . Roughly nine months to sell or be banned in the us. Joining me now, nick johnson, his Editor In Chief at axios. Nick, good morning. Good morning. You look big picture here they finally got this over the finish line. It took months longer. It resulted in some setbacks for Volodymyr Zelenskys forces on the front lines in ukraine. But here they are. How do you think we got here . And what do you make of how quickly the tide turned here . Yeah. I mean, i should we be shocked that something backed by the president supported by the leadership in both houses of congress voted for by a large majorities in both chambers of congress became law. I guess we should be shocked. I mean, thats where this day thats why washington. Right at the end of the day, what we knew, what we expected, what happened when it was people wanted to happen did happen. I think its very interesting how you mentioned that the amount of time it took, i thought the stories over the weekend about Mike Johnsons journey to this, about having to meet with get some of the very Senior Intelligence briefings to show like what kind of a threat ukraine was facing, how important it this aid was needing, how the tide really could turn if they didnt get this aid soon enough, changed his mind. I think whats interesting now is what happens next, right . Johnson voted for that and will he be speaker in another week or so . The house is back in their districts, major taylor, Marjorie Taylor greene think that theyre being yelled at by their constituents about how they caved on that. Will they come back next week stolen a lot of that . Energy for the motion to vacate. And remember the big leader of this in the Republican Sayyed in the senate, Mitch Mcconnell, hes on his way out. His leadership was split on the final vote of that. And so i think this is maybe the last of an old regime of congress will be able to do things that a lot of people want. But well see what the fallout is on the road. Yeah. I mean, its im just struck by the contrast that you present, which sit on the one hand, our government overwhelmingly supports this votes in the house, like most at, in the senate. Absolutely. But to then say that the people that actually made that happen, that made the will, that sort of massive will of everyone happen. Are leaving right as you make this feel like if maybe a lastgasp of just kind of thing, lets see what this fall out is. And i guess like a lot of the pieces of that when aid is required to further for ukraine is its just a downpayment will just come back again. What will the mood for that if theres Additional Resources required for israel, whats mood for that . And then it gets the tiktok. Think this sort of a clock we have nine months and the reporting that we have at axios, its like what is going to happen next, will tiktok might wait this out. We have an election coming and donald trump has flipflopped on this position, like treating out on when im tweeting out, i guess true thing out on his social media platform yesterday, blending biden. Now for shutting down pick dog, but that was something that President Trump said he was gonna do when he was president , right . Repeatedly. And im glad you raised the tiktok ban because this was something that the senate had been approaching in a much more cautious way, right . Compared to the house. I mean, this is a version of the ban that gives tiktok more time to figure out how to sell if thats what theyre going to do, how much influenced you think the Chinese Communist party has on bytedance in this situation, once it gets set up, i mean, this is a a Company Owned by the Chinese Communist party. Its a State Run Enterprise and i think what was more to look for, i think before possible election is that theyre going to be a lot of lawyers in this town billing a lot of hours for the next nine months, there will be considerable insignificant core challenges on this. And so this is far from away, far from being a done deal. How do you think . I mean, do you think it impacts the election you noted that trump has already saying, well, its biden this banning tiktok. Obviously, trump has seen some gains with Younger Voters who are the ones that are predominantly on tiktok can i mean, is youre going to obviously is going to try to make this an election issue, but its not going to be banned in the United States before the election. Numbers like you can look at the language that trump used on truth social when he talked about this old person, joe biden, hey, young americans, that the old guys who were doing all this, i want to protect the app that you like. I think thats definitely a politically shu and that, thats the way tiktok has been using to look at the way tiktok has been flooding the hill by having tiktokkers, by having young people who make their living on this, who are influencing on this platform, bombarding the hill with messages is really freaked out. Congress, i think thats either didnt didnt totally backfire. I mean, every member of congress, Congress Said i talked to has said, well, to the extent that i was willing to be convinced when i can be concerned about their political influence but they can move that kinda thing. We know each one of those people. Theyre a voter, they have friends who are voters. And i think that the calculus that trump is making it that this is an issue that young people are on a different side of as opposed to members of congress. And if you can can you think make inroads with young people on that . Well, then thats a position hes going to take. Yeah. I mean, i guess young people would actually have to show up and vote in greater numbers though were still waiting for the young people to come in an election i guess its a pretty corneal reality. All right. Nick johnson. Thank you. I really appreciate it. All right. Coming up next to your House Republicans are scrambling to find a way to end their biden impeachment inquiry.

But others in competitive house districts, they say its just time to move on. Cnn, capitol Hill Reporter annie grayer joins me now with her new reporting. Annie. Good morning to you i love this story. I that you have up in terms of just the, the depth of reporting and the texture that you meet, youve put on the bone here you focus a lot on james comer, whos the person thats been really spearheading this inquiry. And you quote one lawmaker whose talked to him as saying, comer is hoping jesus comes. So he can get out explain why well, this is not where republicans thought they were going to be when they reclaimed the majority back in january of last year investigating the president and his family was a top priority a lot of republicans wanted this investigation to end with impeachment. That was the bar that was set. But theres been a series of missteps that have happened along the way. And as i reported out this story with our colleague, melanie zanona, really talking to over a dozen republican lawmakers and sources really just learn more about this blame game thats heating up behind the scenes about what went wrong and how theyre not gonna be able to deliver on the top target for so Many Republican voters. And lawmakers. Now, there are three chairman who are leading this inquiry. But james comer has been focusing on the biden familys business dealings, and thats come on what are the most scrutiny and the thing i heard the most was his allegations against the president were some of the loftiest claims made and a lot of republicans told me that they feel he over promis and under delivered and that reall hurt them throughout ts investigation, instead of developing a narrative Behind Closed Doors things, comer was quick to put things out without thprer context or without just saving it for what it is. And that really turned a lot of republicans off in their very narrow majority, which is so notheyre left wherthey are now, which is they dont have the evidence to impeach the president and they dont have the votes when you say they dont have the votes, i mean, ls lets dig into the politics. The brs tacks of this. Why dont they have the votes . Who is not where comer or leaders that want to do this need them to be i mean, i think the problem is theres so many its not just one or two. Its its more than a handful at this point. And in such a narrow majority, you cant afford to lose even one or two. Now, comer maintains his job was never to impeach. He sees Investigation Success no matter what, and he has a support of Republican Leadership in the house and the other committee. Chairman he has really seen a the boost and his National Profile as a result of this investigation and hes sources say maybe even wanting to run for Higher Office one day and this investigation, regardless of how it ends up, could help him. But i think one other thing that republicans saw that really just took impeachment off the table was how the impeachment and the department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas was handled republicans have focus on the border as both an issue on politics and policy d they thought impeaching mayorkas would be something that they could deliver. They did so very narrowly. They even failed to do so the first time they tried and it was a debacle and then i had to try again. Then and was delayed being sent over this edit for weeks. It finally gets sent over the Democraticcontrolled Senate dismisses it very quickly. And so a lot republicans saw that and thought, okay, we know it trying to impeach joe biden is a much heavier lift and are very narrow majority if its going to end up the same way in a quick dismissal in the senate. Why not just let Voters Decide in remember, any does this mean that hunter biden is kind of off the hook at this point or do you expect them to keep trying to dig in on him . I think yeah. I think thats a totally different story. I mean, obviously theres an ongoing criminal investigation into a hunter biden and i think that comer and the republicans leading this inquiry have a lot of threads that theyre pulling on. The president s son, but we have to remember what the intention of this investigation was, which comer when he came out and his Introductory Press Conference as Committee Chairman of Oversight Committee was kyi wanted to investigate joe biden, and so that is where the scrutiny comes in because if you want to talk about hunter in his business dealings, thats one thing, but if youre trying to lay the groundwork to impeach the president , you have to have the evidence and the focal point of that, and thats where it seems like theyve really fallen short. Really interesting, great reporting. Annie grayer, thank you very much for being with us this morning. I really appreciate it. All right ahead. He
