That he would make them move forward with three-pronged approach, looking at oversight, looking at the issue of funding i m looking at the issue of legislation, but also indicating that there ll be taken more deliberate approach. so a lot of details here are lacking. he is facing a lot of pressure from his hard right? when it comes time to fund the government in the fall and whether to pull back any funding from the department of justice. some of those members telling me today that johnson should absolutely fight to potentially move to a government shutdown i m fight and try to define the department of justice even as the white house would not accept that democrats in the senate wouldn t accept it. and it probably can t even pass in the narrowly divided house, but that is the pressure that johnson has faced saying showing that what is in store in the fall as they head into this funding fight, just weeks before the election, jake, it s all right. manu raju on capitol hill for us. thanks so much coming up, cash cocaine, and of course that infamous laptop it testimony today and the hunter biden s federal gun case, that s next we must break the
Two barriers, essentially, the us territory is in-between between these two walls. and so these folks right here are already in the us about 25 of them came in from india. i spoke when i was in that other more rural section. so in with one migrant from ecuador and here s what he had to say about his journey misunderstandings thank quite you. economy on the columbia law. okay. okay. he says he s going to walk up here and azekah, lord, no, people use it it now, it s hot, but he says he s got to hurry along because he s going to then continue on to an immigration official, start the process for asylum i thought it was really important that you hear from brian air from ecuador because jake, as you know, earlier this year we were in ecuador covering the instability. and when you think about the root causes of migration, his story speaks to
Rough that was debate and we were told that there s no way to move 1 million civilians away from harm s way yet we did it and it didn t take three months as was suggested, it took about a week-and-a-half so i think we have the abilities to do what we need to do. i want to point out, jake, that we have still the border between egypt and gaza, which means that from about seven days ago, hamas cannot refill. it s aml, which means time is running out for them. and if we just follow through rapidly decisively, i think we can conclude this faster than expected. the country s have spain, norway, and ireland have all recognized a state of palestine in recent weeks, slovenia might be next the country of columbia broke diplomatic ties with israel. brazil recalled its ambassador is the war in gaza aza doing long-term strategic
