12:02 pm
details of their case against secretary of yorkers that he willingly neglected the duties of his office and that he lied to congress about the extent of that failure likewise, we will not hear that secretaries, representatives present the vigorous defense to which he isn't caudal our college know that we are obligated to take these proceedings seriously. this is what our oath prescribes. it's what the history and precedent require. and i would urge each of our colleagues to consider that this is what the framers actually envision. the power of impeachment is one of the most delicate balances are constitutional system strikes with a portion of the american people sovereign electoral authority it purchases a safe guard against malpractice and
12:03 pm
it gives the senate the power and the duty to decide this process. most not be abused. it st not be short circuited history will not judge this mont. >> well therefore, i move to ask for the age news. is there a sufficie 2nd? there is a sufficient 2nd clerk will call e roll his modlin mr. basso mr... bennett this is blackburn another bloom, another votes on said point of order, this one coming from the minority leader, mitch mcconnell's man, let's go to cnn's manu raju, who's live on capitol hill for us point of order, pollute a minor oh, yes and two, for those who don't speak senate, basically what this means is that they're trying to kill
12:04 pm
the effort by chuck schumer test essentially and this impeachment trial altogether tried to end, try to chuck schumer, you recall earlier there's a couple of hours ago now at this point, made a move to effectively and throw out that first article of impeachment against alejandro mayorkas. what mitch mcconnell just did here is essentially trying to block chuck schumer's effort to kill that first article of impeachment against alejandro mayorkas. so republicans, we need a majority vote to essentially prevent chuck schumer's effort from moving ahead. they're not gonna get an a majority vote. they're expected to fail on this like they did on the previous two points of order, previous two efforts, one to try to actually have a debate in a closed session, ted cruz push for that, but another one to delay the proceedings altogether until the end of the month. john kennedy of louisiana had tried to do that that also failed along straight-party lines. i expect this one also to fail along straight-party lines. it was interesting to see mitch mcconnell align himself with conservatives in
12:05 pm
his own conference on this is very much not been. mitch mcconnell's for the front of incentive of his agenda. he has allowed this to take poison the house. he's really not a whole lot about the mayorkas impeachment trial. he did say that he did support moving forward with a full-blown impeachment trial, but that was only when he was asked at a press conference a few weeks ago. so this is very much not something that he has been on the frontlines fighting for their has been left to the likes of mike lee of utah, ted cruz of texas, though that wing of the house senate republican conference has been pushing for this, not mitch mcconnell, but he made clear there. he is aligned with them on this point of trying to move ahead with his impeachment tarazi criticize democrats, as we said, quote short-circuiting this process here. but despite mcconnell how's words and despite his call for a full-blown trial, he's not going to get it. this will fail and then the question will be, what anyone else tried to make their own points, but are as mcconnell, the end of it. that's gonna be the big question here. once s vote wraps up. ananotr re, another miracle i must say, as
12:06 pm
a senate watch or observ, is place, they're voting pretty quickly. they're doing that bse they're sitti in thehair, their desks, and they're voting.ically senators take hour or longer for eachote, they millibar, they go the hallway. they don't sit in their desk. but because of the impeachment process and the trial and the seriousness of it, they sit down at their desk, they cast a vote, they go in alphabetical order and hay so in a bold it happens pretty quickly i will say when i also have noticed that it is, it pains me because how many things have we all missed covering the hill where it was like an hour vote for one thanks. >> so i'm glad they're all sitting there. it can move quickly if they wanted to they're stuck, they're stuck. you know, they they have nothing else to do, right? >> they're stuck that were in that room and they've and they've got a vote which is why the vote happens pretty quickly. and everyone knows what the result yeah, is going to be. i think the interesting thing about mcconnell as moana was saying, is that he kind of approaches this from an
12:07 pm
institutional point of view, which is that we don't know how he really feels about the mayorkas impeachment issue, but he believes that there should be a debate and that that is the rule. and that is what many romney also said. like, he believes there should be some kind of debate. now, schumer would say, i gave you an opportunity at the beginning. i outlined debate time for you and you decided to blow that. you decided no, no. we're not going to do that. so you missed your chance? but i think mcconnell's point is institutional more than anything else notable given that the outcome is going to be the same regardless, may orcas is not going to get convicted so much of this is just for show. >> as noted, we're going to keep an eye on what's happening on the floor of the senate mano gloria, please standby. this is obviously just one flashpoint that's shaking up congress right now. another is the battle over speaker mike johnson's future. he just unveiled a sweeping foreign aid package that might make his
12:08 pm
standing among republican hardliners even more precarious. >> all right, so let's take you over to the other chamber. >> cnn's lauren fox. is there. lauren, tell us about this foreign aid package and house speaker johnson's gop critics are reacting to this plan. this is all unfolding in real time to yeah, exactly. jessica, a busy day on capitol hill. we just got that bill text not too ng ago and it is essentially lookg lot,ike e nate bill, t only in thre different parts. there ia component of ts that it providesid to ukraine, a proponent thatncdes aid to israel and a component that includes aid to the indo-pacifegion. but altogether, that fding adds to about 95 billion. there is one small change in that about 10 billion of th funding actually a repayable loan to ukraine. there ia catch though the president ia
12:09 pm
couple of years, i can forgive that loan entirely. buthat was t in there because the loan ia was something that former president donald trump had suggested that he would be supportive of. meanwhile, a lot arliners very sappointed in speaker joson. many of them not ing quite as far as marjorie taylor gree and threatening his job. but several of them not ling it out here. tare i'm well pasthe point of ving grace he so we're gonna go we got to go have sconversations at the time to get out of office need need a little bit more time today, but it's not good. we met for hours last night and oposed different paths to the speakerhat would have avoided the abject surrender reprted byis, his strategic choice. he. there's no other way to describe it. it's surrende it's disappointing. i will also it and on the mechanics of this, johnson has told his
12:10 pm
members that they wille voting othese underlying bills saturdaening. >> but before that, they have some procedural hurds that they are going to have to from democrats as to whether or not they would be filling to join repubcans to try to move forward with this te on the floor. thehave to get what is own ashe rule out of the committee. and so far you have three republican okay. it's on that committee saying that they will block that action, so it will be all eyes on democrats to whether or not they are willing to help johnson to get this bill across the finish line, somethinbut th have beenaying for months is essential to getting that aid to israel and ukraine. desk up. it's going to be fascinatin lauren fox, force on capitol hill. thanks so muchnd house spear mike johnson will join jake tapper as he pushes ahead on that aid bill from you for ukraine, despite pressure from gop hardliners that is next to our on the lead. let's go back to the senate and our chief congressional correspondent, manu raju, to fill us in on the impeachment trial of alejandro mayorkas manu. what's
12:11 pm
happening now? >> okay. the senate right now is voting to kill at first article of impeachment. this is what chuck schumer, the senate majority leader, tried to do short time ago, but it was delayed because of republican objections. republicans tried to push for a debate to happen behind closed doors. they wanted to have delay the proceedings altogether. they wanted to block took schumer from moving ahead that all failed. the democrats killed those republican efforts to try to essentially ended their push to end the trial altogether. now they're voting on what chuck schumer put forward. that is essentially to say this first article impede of impeachment that was put forward by the house it should be essentially dismissed. it's a procedural vote is basically it says is the constitutional point of order well taken, that is the question before the senate. so ithey vote, yes, they essentially areoting to kill this article of impeachment. so that's what we expect to see and we do expect this to happen along party lines all the other votes have
12:12 pm
happened so far, it'll be a surprised if anybody bs was it now that are voting on the merits, maybe there will be a member who disagrees with the hoe put forward and the republican sayyed may decide t defect. maybe it'll be a democrat who is in a swing state and wants to show liance with republicans on this, we'll say those are some of the questions that we have to ask and there's no question about the outcomthat this will succeed. this africa kill this article of impeachment, will succeed by the democrats and then they'll try to move on to the 2nd article of impeachment to try to stop. there's essentially throwaway that 2nd article of impeachment then we'll see how the republicans what they do the same thing they did before. try to procedural vote after procedural vote to try delayed the layer delayed till we get to the ultimate outcome. but at the moment, this is what's happening on the floor of the senate right now. and we'll get the vote in a matter of minutes here, guys. >> michael gerhardt is still with us and michael two man whose point, if democrats eliminate this first article of impeachment, how likely is it
12:13 pm
that then republicans tried to delay a vote to potentially eliminate the 2nd article of impeachment well, i think we can expect that they'll do what they can or something very similar in response to this first attempt to kill an article of impeachment. >> but one thing i think we should keep in mind, and we're kind of seeing this lie live that is in is particularly true for the republicans. if you live by the sword, you die by the sword the senator mcconnell said, not too long ago, while there's an obligation to hold a trial, keep in mind back in 2016, when president obama nominated merrick garland has supreme court democrats pleaded with mcconnell to have a hearing and allow for a vote. and mcconnell didn't allow for anything well, that's coming back now in a sense to haunt him there's no obligation that the majority has to do anything more than it's doing. it is not obliged
12:14 pm
to conduct a full trial like republicans want instead, they can consider the possibility of debate. senator schumer held open that possibility at the at the beginning today. but once republicans shut that down, they now have to live by the rules and the rules allow points of order to kill it as quickly as possible. and that's what the vote is on right now. >> okay. and were there voting right now on this? we know that lisa murkowski, a republican from alaska, just voted present. let's go back to mono for more on what exactly that means in terms of how this vote is playing out. no yeah, that's actually one of the people that we were looking at. >> i mentioned before this let's see how lisa murkowski votes on this because she has been one of those who has been sharply critical of what the republicans in the house dead. she didn't think there was any real basis to move ahead here. she said we need to focus on other issues. in fact just a few weeks ago when i interviewed her about how she views the republican party under donald trump. she's didn't know if she had a place
12:15 pm
within this republican party's question whether she should be independent and the likes i'm gonna vote it to convict donald trump in that second impeachment trial. not happy with his impeachment of alejandro mayorkas and voting present here the first member of the senate to break ranks they have present means you're not a yes, you're not no, you're somewhere in the middle. it's usually someone to reserve their objection in some way and he or she is reserving her making clear that she has an objection over the efforts to impeach alejandro mayorkas in this first article, mp3 or cse doesn't the second one. this vote is still ongoing it looks like the roll call is done. we're waiting for the final gavel to come down. mitt romney were told voted against, voted basically against the democratic effort to throw away this impeachment. article that is one person, another person we were looking at it, it looks like most democrats voted, or at least all democrats voted with chuck schumer on this will get the final vote. call though, when it comes down.
12:16 pm
people can always change their votes before that gavel comes down, we'll see what happens zero, but at the moment and interesting vote by a senator lisa murkowski voting present that essentially means she's not happwith the way this eedings haunfolded as chuck schumer appears to have the votes here to kill this first article of impeachment. >> yeah. and it is interesting manu as we were watching mitt romney, he had said previously he was, he just wanted there to be some debate and then he would likely say all right, that's enough for me. like we've had the debate, we can move on. so interesting to see that he's not quite there yet because we have not had any debate on this. we wait for the final vote tally on this this vote, this is actually a vote of consequence after a couple of hours of a lot of, other procedures and procedural votes that we have seen floating around tip naftali. >> let's go back to you because i had to interrupt you last time. i'm so sorry about that as we were waiting for another vote tally, as you're watching this play out, what are you kind of, what's, what's standing out to you as
12:17 pm
you kind of take this all in? >> hi, i'm thinking about the law of unintended consequences i'm worried about creating a precedent where a future senate decides not to listen to substantive impeachment articles from a house that might be led by a different party regarding a president of a different party i really wonder whether the institutional play here is to do what schumer is, what's senator schumer is doing? you know, i've been thinking about it in 1999 senators from both sides of the aisle i understood that the offense's the articles of impeachment against president clinton did not reach the level of for removal and
12:18 pm
the leaders then the minority leader, tom dashiell majority leader, lead to trent lott work together to streamline a process to get this done fast. without destroying of the sort of the process of impeachment. and they did it what's really interesting to me is it looks like a secretary, senator schumer and mitch mcconnell, senator mcconnell haven't really reached an agreement they both seem to understand that this particular impeachment does not reach the level of seriousness for a full-fledg deep trial but they seem to have a diffent approaches to what to do about itand i'm surised that's okay. that senator schumer, maybe he tried. i don't know. yeah. >> so you have to cut you off. we can listen to senate majority leader schumer on the floor of the senate right now,
12:19 pm
let's listen to the proceedings as his precedence order apparently past the chair has no power or authority to pass on such a point of order. the chair, therefore, under the precedence of the senate submits the question to the senate is the point of order well-taken? senator from utah us recognition. >> madam president is wrong as the majority leader was moments ago and making this particular point of order as to article one of the impeachment articles, article one remember refers to the willful defiance via secretary mayorkas of the law is wrong as he was and making that as to article one and he was very wrong for the reasons articulated moments ago by the senator from texas he is even more wrong, far more so with respect to article two, because article two accuses him of knowingly making false statements. this is a violation of 18 usc section 1001, a felony offense. if this is not a high crime and misdemeanor, what is if this is not
12:20 pm
impeachable? what is what precedents will be senator, we need an towards rest and we're discussing, we need to watch hello, senator, would like closed session so that read them recent madam president i move that the senate proceed closed session to allow for deliberation on these very consequential point of order that he's just made. that's violates hundreds of years of anglo-american legal precedent. and understanding this second question rule 24 question is, it's a the question is on the motion. is there sufficient 2nd? there is. clerk will call her all his baldwin mr. barrasso mr... bennett a historic moment on the floor of the us senate. the senate just voting to pass a point of order introduced by the majority leader, senator chuck schumer of new york to essentially kill
12:21 pm
article one. the first of two impeachment articles that house republicans put forth before the floor of the senate in an effort to convict the sitting secretary of the department of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas that vote passing 51248, and you'll notice the numbers change they're a little bit because at least the murkowski, who is a republican from alaska, voted present. >> you can take that essentially as a sign of discontent with where this effort is but she certainly didn't decide to vote with democrats. they are, but again, just kinda like take the big picture here. there's two articles of impeachment. the first one done, they have voted they've killed it. no, it, democrats have killed us. we've arrived at the point of destination where we all thought we would be for article one, we've now moved on to article two, which schumer is trying to do, essentially the same thing with but if you'll remember as we've been here for several hours, that takes awhile and so mike lee from utah, we just heard from him. and as we are seeing as we're
12:22 pm
seeing this play out, the points of order votes. we will probably see more of these. let's go to manu raju, who we have been relying heavily on this afternoon. mono mono is you watch this all happen what can we expect to see next is we now move to the 2nd article of impeachment yeah. >> look, it's following a similar pattern that we saw in the first pattern of him the first impeachment article. this is a strategy by republicans have tried to make their case that the democrats don't want to debate since they want to stifle this all together, they want to put it under the rug that are to blame. joe biden and blame the democrats for the handling of the what's happening in the situation of the border with mexico, saying that i said julie, knowing that this is a central issue in the campaign, which is what the arguments are trying to make here on the senate floor, the democrats want nothing do with this. they say that this is an impeachment that is lacks any real merit, charging some of the high crime and misdemeanor over a policy dispute, they say is simply unprecedented. it's something that's there. and
12:23 pm
they call it a dangerous precedent and they really don't seem to be too concerned about any political backlash as you can see, from the votes, there have been excellent this would be a vote along party lines has exactly what happened in the 51, vote. yes. lisa murkowski registering her objections, voting present, which is interesting, shows you where she views her party. she has been very outspoken and critical, particularly folks on the far right, other party and the trump aligned wing of the gop but democrats are making no qualms about voting to dismiss this altogether, not worried about the political ramifications. there have been a lot of pressure on senator jon tester, in particular, the montana democrat in a swing-state, someone who could, who is battling to hang on. it's millions of dollars will be spent image congressional be a key part of that fight. but he voted with chuck schumer on this issue. he believes there's the other vulnerable democrats who voted for killing that first article of impeachment. they believe that
12:24 pm
they could be on a higher ground and immigration because republicans, just a few months ago killed a bipartisan border security deal that they said but actually have fixed some of the problems and the southern border of mexico, republicans disagree with that. and the way they handle that will be litigated in the campaign. but they believed democrats believe they have an issue and look, we talk about the politics of this because that is really was driving so much of the strategy here republicans wants some ammunition to use against democrats in the healers campaign season. and democrats seem to be fine with the vasa. they're taking, which has to kill this impeachment proceeding. they did an article one that's going to happen sooner. article two, we'll see how much longer republicans don't decide to prolong this by pushing their own points here on the floor of the senate mano, please standby as we await a tally on that point of order brought by utah senator mike plea we want to bring in florida republican congressmen and catalyst jimenez into the conversation. >> congressman, thank you so much for waiting patiently. we had originally scheduled to have iwan to discuss israel and
12:25 pm
aid overseas and the packages multiple packages. now, one package that's going to be put forward in the house over the weekend. but obviously we want to get your reaction to what's happening on the floor of the us senate because you were supportive of the push to impeach the homeland security secretary. what's your reaction to hearing that that first article of impeachment has now been eliminated. >> i think it's dangerous precedent for the senate, especially in the future. as one of your commentators have said, this is setting a new ground at least. you should listen to the arguments and at the end, if you decide that the secretary has not guilty, vote your conscience. i never thought that he was going to be convicted, but i i thought but at least that he was going to get a trial. and that's what we did our duty here. we sent the articles of impeachment. we feel that the secretary has violated federal law has lied to congress. and those are impeachable offenses that should be argued like in a courtroom setting, which is
12:26 pm
really the senate and now, now the fact that they just throwing out these charges before it even gets to see the light of day. that's a that's a dangerous new precedent that the senate is, is setting on your side of capitol hill on the house side, we do have this aid package and we're starting to see how this is going to come together. >> i'm curious where you stand on aid to taiwan, aid to israel, aid to ukraine and how you feel about the speaker and the path that he is choosing to move forward with the speaker. >> laid out this plan on monday now when we came in and i was fully supportive of that plan, and then some folks decided that they were going to maybe have a motion to vacate, which i completely opposed. i think it would be completely counterproductive. so i support the speaker. i think it's a good plan. it allows everybody to really vote their conscience on, on ukraine, on taiwan, and
12:27 pm
on israel, along with that, there'll be another, another package a border security bill. so i completely support the speaker and what he's trying to do. i hope you can get this rule pass and put this vote up on saturday or allies need our help i've been stating it for a long time that i wanted to vote to help ukraine, taiwan, and israel separately if that's what it took and i'm glad that he chose this path. so i fully support the speaker and what he's trying to a congressman, i just want to update our viewers on what we were watching on the floor of the senate it appeared that fellow floridian lawmaker, senator rick scott presented another point of order to adjourn the proceedings that is apparently going to be voted on momentarily back to the point you just made congressmen about these bills being taken up and a border bill being presented separately. >> part of the reason that speaker johnson brought up that border bill was because of
12:28 pm
pressure from members of your conference that have argued that there should be some kind of legislation making the border a priority before even a single dollar, according to marjorie taylor greene goes to, ukraine or allies of the united states abroad folks like green bob good i'm trying to think of a few others that amman who spoke to previously have said that they are going to oppose that bill, that they don't believe that it actually addresses the problems at the border they several of them have told are reporters that they would support vacating speaker johnson over this. your reaction to where they stand from the view of this border bill potentially passing and even possibly costing the speaker's job well, a, i will not support any kind of motion to vacate in the vast majority of this conference? >> do not support that. remember, the only way that you're going to be able to vacate the speaker is by having
12:29 pm
vast democrats support. you're going to have a small number of republicans it's maybe support the motion to vacate, but then you'd all the democrats in order to make it happen and so we'll see with the democrats ally with that as far as the border is concerned. look, i believe that we should pass border security packages that actually mandate certain things. but to be franklin with you the only way we're going to get this border under control, there's with a new president because president biden has, for the last three years on purpose cause this entire calamity the southern border through a series of executive actions which we have told them time and time again, you need to reverse those actions in order to get this border on your control. he has refused and then you see the consequences, right now. so even if we pass a border security bill, the strongest, whatever the it's up to the president seavey is actually going to enforce the things that we want him to enforce so
12:30 pm
far. he's not willing to do that. and so i don't have high hopes for any legislation coming out of congress that will help to secure the border. it's up to the president to undo the things he did in order to secure this president to secure the border. >> not congressman does it frustrate you at all that there was bipartisan legislation that was in part negotiated by senator james lankford that was said to be some of the most conservative immigration legislation that you're, that the house and the senate would have seen in a very, very long time that was killed by republicans really, because the president, the former president, told them to no, i look, it doesn't frustrate me at all again, i just told you my position and that we could have a very conservative package, which is that that that supposedly gives more aid did cetera, but it's not going to work. >> the only thing that's going to work is the will of the president of the united states. the only way that we're going to secure this border unless president biden changes as mine. and under and undoes all
12:31 pm
of those things that he's done for the last three years. the only way we're going to have a secure border is by electing a new president, donald trump as president united states, that's the only way it's going to happen our congress has been godless. >> jimenez. we have to leave the conversation there. we should note some of the executive orders that former president put in place were knocked down by the courts. that's the argument that we're hearing from some democrats as to why president biden doesn't reinstate them nevertheless, we look forward to having you back on to further discuss this and some of the other things we were going to talk about before we watched all of this unfold on the floor of the senate. thank you so much, congressman it's my pleasure. >> of course. >> we're going to sneak in a quick break as we watch the latest point of order get voted on the senate floor will be back in just moments. they would cnn the lead with jake tapper to the head four on cnn i've never once had to wait for insurance to approve a test or proven medication, you didn't have to worry read about any of those things. >> thanks to the donations and

12:37 pm
through the first one, which is effectively been killed by the democratic majority there in the senate. and we now wait to see how they move toward, are critical to at this point it is what we have seen much over the last couple of hours, which are a lot of point of order at points of order from the republican side to essentially slow down this process, right? >> right. again, we're going to keep an eye on that will bring you the latest as we get it. another big story is happening in arizona today supporters for abortion access, there are gathering outside the capitol in phoenix after lawmakers there failed, yet another attempt to advance a repeal of that state's near-total abortion ban. >> last week, you'll remember the supreme court, they're revivim a civil war law banning abortion all cases, except to save the life of the mother cnn's natasha chin is following the story for us. natasha, what happened today and also what kind of reaction are you starting to get? >> well today, the house tried
12:38 pm
to bring a repeal consideration to the floor, but that was going to be tough because typically that has to be going through a committee first before it goes to the full house. they were trying to vote to bypass that procedure and a couple of attempts at that failed. so that's why it's it's not being considered on the floor at all there is obviously relief an from the right to life. folks who my met this morning, they were filling the gallery three, they were here to try and voice their concern about this. they were in favor of this law dating back to the 1860s. now, behind us, we have a group who are trying to push abortion rights and in fact, i am standing next to dr. deshawn taylor she is at one of the eight remaining clinics in the state that still provides abortion care. dr. taylor, what happened today, you said does not surprise you i'm not surprised we've had a republican let legislature for
12:39 pm
the past 50 decades that i'm aware of. >> and there were 50 years opportunity to repeal this 18 64 ban, and that didn't happen so although i want it to maintain hope that we could get a solution today, i'm not surprised by i what happened? >> yeah. talk to me a little bit about what has been happening at your clinic since this decision last week. what are you hearing from patients well initially it's a chilling effect, like when these things happened in arizona's first thing people think if they can't get abortions. >> and so our time last week was a bit slower and we're also trying to get the word out. for arizona's to know. they can still at least get abortions to 15 weeks here as all of this activity is playing out. and so this week, patients are to come back and we'd been busier and people are grateful that they still have the opportunity to get their abortion, but they're also concerned about the future of now whether someone they care about when needed an abortion in the future.
12:40 pm
>> if this law dating back to the 1860s is the law of the land going for it currently as the supreme state supreme court said last week, it does it does hold someone like, you providing abortion care may be liable and maybe sent to prison for two to five years. if that is the case what do you do my position is a bit unique as well because i'm not only the provider, but i'm also the person who runs the clinic. >> and so i look at this from so many different vantage points in terms of one, i am outraged because i have been to provide an abortion care for 23 years of my adult life and to not be able to use those skills that i learned and have honed over time to give compassionate abortions this is the people who needed it in my state i shouldn't have to be in this position because abortion is health and just to clarify, the 15 weeks that you mentioned and the reason you're still doing
12:41 pm
this, despite the supreme court ruling last week, is because that 15 week abortion ban is something arizona passed a couple of years ago, that is still the case, right now as the supreme court ruling said, they're ruling doesn't take effect for a couple of weeks. >> obviously, a lot of back-and-forth that trying to figure you're out in this moment of up and downs and confusion what actually holds in the state of arizona force and jessica natasha, can live for us from phoenix. thank you so much for that update. >> we are still watching the floor of the us senate. >> it has been quite an afternoon. i wouldn't say fireworks necessarily, but definitely some tense moments potentially more ahead as the impeachment trial of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas is underway, stay with us 2024. >> so five nba play-in tournament before these teams make it to the playoffs to. >> get it 2024. so far, nba

price caps for monthly out-of-pocket costs common to play for patients using those inhalers. the problem is that little kids with asthma rely on inhalers like this that can be used with what's known as a spacer device. now there are only three he inhalers that fit this profile. other called generic fluticasone or flovent, which used to be made by gsk are still is but it's now sold by another company as an authorized generic. there's one called asmanex and one called al vasco. and gsk took the branded version of that first drug off the market last year, and that's kind of thrown this whole system into wacc for families trying to access these medications. a lot of insurance companies don't cover the authorized generic, the second drug, asmanex has gone into shortage. the third one can have trouble getting insurance coverage as well. we spoke with one family imam called julie leach, her daughter's 13, her name's abby. we've got a picture we can show you. she has a rare disease that restricted her lung development and she's relied on drugs like this one to be able to breathe
