Mike hosts tonight’s livestream and will be joined by John and David (M. Drucker) for a brief campaign update. The trio will then explore the question: Is an imperfect immigration deal better than no immigration deal at all? Next, Grayson and James will discuss this morning’s TMD item on an Iran-backed militia killing U.S. soldiers. James will round out the conversation by diving into Biden’s pause on new liquified gas exports. 

Grab a drink (or a few), get your questions ready, and join us at 8 p.m. ET on YouTube for this week’s Dispatch Live.

    Wouldn’t it make more sense to shut the border when the courts are overwhelmed, takes more than 60 days to get a hearing? If just left to president it does not solve the problem as the president has not considered it a problem for 3 years. Not until he thought he might lose the election to trump

    Given what Sen. Lankford said about his Republican colleagues changing their minds because it's a presidential election year, are the Republican senators opposed to this deal playing hardball, or do they not want a deal at all?

    The quote: "Republicans four months ago would not give funding for Ukraine for Israel and for our southern border because we demanded changes in policy. So we actually locked arms together and said we’re not gonna give you money for this. We want a change in law. And now it’s interesting, a few months later when we’re finally getting to the end, they’re like, oh, just kidding. I actually don’t want a change in law because it's a presidential election year."

      Exactly, taking your ball and going home is VERY different than playing hardball.
