It's the Brian Laird Show on WNYC.

Good morning everyone.

The last 24 hours have been very tense

and potentially consequential in Congress.

They've been stuck on a bill for new aid to Israel and Ukraine because Republicans insist on including new US border control measures and Democrats are resisting them.

Aid to Israel right at this moment is also being questioned because of the way they're

fighting the war in Gaza with so many civilian deaths.

We'll hear a clip of Chuck Schumer and his role as Senate Majority Leader on tying U aid, or I should say on tying Israel

and Ukraine aid to U.S. Southern Border Policies. We'll hear that clip of Senate

Majority Leader Schumer in a minute. The Leader of the House, meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson,

says he will release some January 6th Capitol Riot footage with the faces of the participants

blurred so they don't get charged with crimes.

That as you might imagine is getting push back as wait, this is coming from the party of law and order?

And a house hearing on Anti-Semitism that included the presidents of

several major universities is drawing gasps in many places for multiple

president's refusal to say calling for genocide against Jews violates

campus speech policies.

We'll play one of those exchanges.

And there's more too that we probably won't get to at, as I said, what seems like a very tense and

consequential time on Capitol Hill right now with so much going on.

Joining us with some details is Jake Sherman,
