Well, the unanimous call of 212 House Democrats has been answered by our nominee for speaker, the gentleman from brooklyn, the leader of our House Democratic caucus, the honorable Hakeem Jeffries. [cheers and applause] leader jeffries has answered our call but the majoritys nominee is disconnected, disconnected from the American People and their values. Maga extremism is designed to divide and it has broken the republican party. Their nominees vision is a direct attack on the freedom and the rights of the American People and he has got the record to prove it. The republican nominee has voted against healthcare for children, for veterans, even for 9 11 survivors. He has opposed lowering the cost of insulin repeatedly. He wants to cut Social Security and medicare. Dont take it from me, it was raised on the other side of the aisle just this week as a Selling Point to make him speaker. Over his 16 years in the house, the republican nominee has never supported a farm bill. What does that me
Bret we are moments away from president s address to the nation. I am bret baier. Martha i am martha maccallum. An important moment for any president. An Oval Office Address to speak to the nation. We will make his case for a number of things. He will layout additional aid for this fight in israel. Also for the fight in ukraine. That was the original road map for the speech. And humanitarian assistance for the residents of gaza. Bret President Biden will speak to the nation from the oval office. We have Team Coverage tonight. We have John Roberts In Jerusalem and peter doocy at the white house. Martha lets start there. Tonights remarks will explain to the American People why u. S. Dollars and not u. S. Troops are critical to wars in the middle east and europe. He is not expected to attack maga republicans because he needs them to vote 100 Billion Dollars in new funding. Bret interesting to see if this sounds like a state of the Union Address or more emotional after his trip in israel.
