g.o.p. members say the decision shows they were right. >> the fact that they're willing to go up against the courts now to try to please their left wing base is not surprising and it's very disappointing. >> but this is laced with politics. it may actually help moderate democrats who also want the administration to keep title 42. those moderate democrats can now use the ruling as a foil to oppose the administration. it may help them politically. and the administration can get favor with the left by going to court. but the downside is a potential surge at the border. >> we have over 103 different countries this fiscal year alone come through the sector. it's not about one particular race or one particular country, it's about a worldwide movement. people who want to come to the united states and i get why they want to come to the united states but there's a legal process to make that happen. >> the ruling could help unlock another round of covid aid. republicans held up votes on covid dollars unless they scored a vote on title 42.
denuclearization in return for that covid aid that they are offering from south korea. of course there's been some discussion about how weak the possibilities for diplomacy are on that front, although there was an expression from both presidents for hope toward denuclearization through diplomacy. president biden acknowledged also that a meeting with kim jong un would depend on whether the north korean leader is being sincere and is being serious. the statement between these two presidents acknowledged just how much security concerns and the economies of these countries are intertwined. this was not billed as a security trip. this was billed as a way to deepen economic ties between the two countries. but we heard a lot of discussion about security and how these two realms are really intertwined in this modern age. we've also agreed to strengthen and diversify supply chains coming out of the pandemic. we hope to hear more from both presidents soon as president biden will begin his trip to
one about covid aid, and it's coming from dr. anthony fauci. aishah hasnie has the details. >> a lot of requests for a lot of cash on the hill, and republicans say none of it makes sense. white house is asking requesting for $22.5 billion to help businesses to pay for therapeutic vaccines and for research to prevent future outbreaks. republicans are weary of this for a couple reasons here. one, there is still unspent aid from the $7 trillion already approved by congress, and two, some think all of that spending has attributed to the current inflation crisis. republicans also think the administration is hypocritical. if there is a need for more covid aid, why do they want to lift title 42, which is a covid health policy at the southern
democrats don't want to give them that vote and the senate appropriations chairperson told me moments ago that republicans need to change course. >> they've already said that they're not -- they will not support covid aid, mitch mcconnell has made that very clear. my concern is i support aid to ukraine. i support aid to the people of the united states and covid. i'm sorry that the republican leader will only support the aid to ukraine, not for the united st states. >> reporter: now, the republicans have gotten behind this bipartisan $10 billion package to deal with covid relief efforts they had demanded to be fully offset, so would not increase the budget deficit. they have agreed to that. it is that procedural dispute over whether to allow an amendment going after the biden administration lifting that title 42 restriction at the border. while that dispute plays out, there's still questions about whether the united states can continue to respond aggressively to this pandemic or if that
ukraine aid if it included aid for americans for therapeutics and vaccines and additional testing, which we know we're going to need in the coming months as we move into the fall. so i think the president, you know, had to deal with reality, which is that mitch mcconnell was not going to go along with this. it's very important that we move forward on this ukraine aid. it's $40 billion, it is very much needed. i think we've got bipartisan support for that. i'd like to add that i think it is crucial that we also include in the ukrainian aid support for afghan refugees who are languishing waiting on -- waiting in lines to get a path to being able to work and being able to be here with legal -- legally. it is unconscionable that we are not addressing that need as well. so yes, let's get ukraine aid passed and done as soon as possible, and then it's urgently important that we move forward on the covid aid, which is also absolutely essential. >> yeah, important that you brought up the afghan refugee
ukrainians fight more effectively and more we can do in order to arm them in their fight against vladimir putin's unlawful and unprovoked invasion of ukraine. >> we do know the president expects covid aid and the ukraine aid to move separately to get this through, but when we see it is another question. you talk about air defense, how important is it that russia so far has not achieved air superiority over ukraine and what can the u.s. be doing to sustain that? >> well, there are certain air defense systems that we can either provide to the ukrainians or there are certain assets that our nato allies have offered to give to the ukrainians. many cases, old russian weapons systems they want to get rid of. i think this actually presents a huge opportunity for us over the long-term. if we can simultaneously arm the ukrainians and help them protect their forces and civilian population, also then turning around and replacing russian
president biden's $33 billion funding request for ukraine, money for economic, humanitarian and defense aid. >> reporter: that $33 billion is significantly less than what we would have to spend if we took russia on directly. so, i hope we don't have any impediments to that all that we can do to help the ukrainians fight for themselves and achieve their freedom is critical because what we don't want is putin ultimately to think that not only can he win in ukraine but advance beyond it. >> reporter: while there is bipartisan support behind this latest round of urgent assistance, the question remains how quickly it can get passed, especially if it's linked to the president's request for additional coronavirus funding which has stalled in a clash over immigration policy. >> we need covid aid, we need ukraine aid, we should do them together or separately but we shouldn't wait around. >> and we will do all of it, whether we do it together which is my preference, we'll see. but it will not bog down. >> duncan: natalie brand joins us now, you know this aid is expected to get ukraine to
