that was, by the way, mitch mcconnell was one of them. and then what happened was he negotiated a deal that didn't do it, that didn't actually secure the border. but what it did do is give political camouflage to chuck schumer and the democrats. i think that was a grave mistake. stuart: mr. senator, we always enjoying is you on the show. >> appreciate it. thank you, stuart. stuart: yes, sir. aishah hasnie is joining us now. where with does the nat's foreign a aid package -- senate's foreign aid package stand now? >> reporter: good morning to you. it's folks like senator ted cruz, senator mike lee that could prevent this package from rolling out of the senate and heading to the house. we shall see. the senate is actually out until noon today. it's been paralyzed since yesterday afternoon as lawmakers try to chart a path forward on this foreign security package, the one that would include the $60 billion in ukraine aid, the one that ted cruz was just talking about, $14 billion for israel, $4 billion, i believe, for taiwan and the indo-pacif

ryan, what happened overnight with mitch mcconnell? he was going to proceed with this border bill that senator langford, a very conservative republican compromised on with senator murphy. now what are the alternatives for getting anything done? >> to answer your secretary question, at this stage, there is no alternative. this is the only piece of legislation that is making its way through the congress that deals with all four of the separate national security emergencies. if this doesn't pass, they are going to have to start at square one. to answer your first question about what has happened, i believe the house republican leadership's insistence that this bill would be dead on arrival made it almost -- it was impossible for rank and file members of the senate to support this. this was never going to be an easy vote. these are always difficult votes. they usually require an overwhelming majority in order to get through. when it seemed very clear that the house just had no interest in taking up this legislation at all, that's when you

and mitch mcconnell, we all know, is very good at political moves. but once that political move was made, then republicans came back and well, wait a minute, now you're going after trump and he's no longer in office, but keep in mind, he was no longer in office through much of the trial because of the delay at the very beginning of the process in january. nevertheless, i think in that trial, there's no question there should be no question that a president who participates in or encourages a violent attack on congress has committed impeachable offense. it's hard to imagine, you know, now we're in this business of figuring, thinking, can we imagine anything worse worse in any event that at least in the abstract, is an impeachable offense? but i think by the time trump is exiting the white house and no longer republicans again kind of coalesce and come together largely. i think in a partizan move to keep trump from being convicted one of the arguments they make and made at the time was it's improper and illegitimate to go after somebody who's left offic
