Have the very latest on what has been happening overseas as the siege in gaza and in israel continues at this hour. I want to share just a bit of the news that weve been able to get israel pounding gaza city this morning. The barrage of airstrikes coming as Hundreds Of Thousands of israeli troops amass at the border for the Israeli Military says they havent exactly decided on a Ground Incursion into gaza yet. However, they are preparing for it. Meantime the Us Government maintaining it will stand with israel as it strikes back against hamas, who infiltrated israel over the weekend. And more than 1200 israelis are confirmed dead at this hour. 22 american citizens also confirmed dead and 17 others remain missing. The us has sent munitions to israel as well as moved ships from the navys uss Gerald R FordCarrier Strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean sea. President biden and congress grappling now with how best to help israel as the conflict in the middle east grows. Meantime, a Bipartisan Group of senators is also sending a letter asking defense secretary lloyd austin to send israel to iron dome batteries. This launched the systems that is that launch interceptor rockets to try to block rockets from coming in. And theyre asking him to send those as soon as possible for his part, Secretary Austin addressed the situation briefly moments ago from the nato summit in brussels. Lets listen. I know you share our outrage at the Terrorist Attack on israel by hamas here recently and also our determination to support israels right to defend itself. Obviously we continue to monitor this situation very carefully, keeping an eye on live pictures as we get more information. Of course, we promise to share that with you. In the meantime, im kevin corke here In Washington. Nowh you. In the meantime, im kevin corke here In Washington. Now back to our regularly scheduled prograsilence icity, i refuse to be silent. I know you refuse to be silentky ,joe. If you dont want to bee complicit, i have one piece of advice. That 6 billion that you paid 6b for five americans in ransom to irailn, make sure that money is returned to that bank in south and dont give them a penny. Dont give they cam access. T any of that money, which we all know is fungible. Noney,w hes silent on whether r not he will rephrase the 6 billion that his Administration JustPreparelion Thad just trand to a bank in qatar to be transferred to the mullahserran of iran. The president of iran saying, youre not going to tell us how we cansaying it. And this, of course, that ransom for thosf the five american hostages, the very same mullahs, by the way,es who funded, organized,ed helped coordinate thisorgaterror weekends Terrorist Attacks. Biden is also silents. About his antisemitic friends in his party, the democrati c party,ssa like congresswoman talib. Joe has no problem never ending. Demonizing trump supportern tl every day. Maga republicans this maga republicans that day in and day out. God forbid it would take a minute to criticize real bigots and antisemite in his own Democratic Party. Congresswoman to leave was h in michigan. She flies a palestinian flag outside of her office after, sh this tall took place. Shfle once said that the holocaust gave her a Calming Feelolocaust in Remarkso Leave now says, oh, they werew misinterpretedsays. Me how well, can somebody explain to me, how do you possiblybly mi misinterpret, interpret those comments . She also called for a boycott of israel wants the u. S. To cut off all aid to the worldsrld only jewish state, the only democracy in the regioisn, along with other squad bigots that she frequents bigot with t. Leave frequently vilifies israel, rarely ever has anything bad to say about Terrorist Groups like s. This w this week, Fox Business NcapitorHillary Vaugh actually tracked Talib Down Co capitol hill to see if she would have the moral couragegrou to condemn the Terrorist Group for beheading babies. After questioning her again and again and again, no such luck. The democratic congresswoman just couldnt bring herself to say couldn a bad word about hamasally a and asked specificallybo about decapitating babies heads. Watch this. Terrorist has babies being burned alive. Do yo israels right to defend themselves against israeli. Were just kidding. You cant comment about hama sheads . Chopping up baby head. Do you come down . What hamas has done, chopping off babies heads, ng off bburning alive, women ine street. You have no comment about children being chopped off, congresswoman, why do con you have a palestinian plight y outside your office if you do not condone what hamas Terrorist Attackt they has in . Israel has been doing, threatening lives, not matters. You speaks volumes, doesnt, it . Kids beheaded, burned alive, young women abducted, grandmas ,grandpas shot in the head. And talib has no comment. Tlai in a statement, she later called her critics racist and said she doesnt com supporh the targeting and killing of civilians, whether in israee. Or palestine. Still, no condemnation of hamals this act of terror. Now what were watching is evil. In our time. Ive often found i wrote a book, deliver us from evil, that it is verom y hard for good people, people with a heart, a conscience and a soulur to understand the nature of evil. Well, our very owne of evil. Toy bill melleuish and i thought he had a really good point earlier today said, quote,he sai in 2019, representative tilly mit emotional at a hearing on Migrant Children being separated from their Parentdren Beis at the bor and called it traumatic and inhumane it trau and yet too comment, no reaction. When asked about israelii chil children being beheaded by hamas terroristdrs. But for some reason, no one in o the Democratic Party is even willinmocraticg to to leave. To i thats interesting, too. That speaks volumetis as well. Take a look. Mr. Leader. So, rosita, to leave , still have the palestinian flag. This is america. Youre not born with the flag that you prefer. I think she has every right to have a Palestinia Fla im not going to comment on what she does. Shes a great friend of mine. Sshes palestinian. You know, that doesnt mean shes a terrorist. It doesnt mean that she condones this really condon . Sl why didnt she just say the simple words . Democratic partye , they have a big problem. And its not just to leave america as far left. Have b bigots have been crawling out of the woodwork. An alarmineeg numbers after this weekends attacks in dearbornnga michigan last night. A massive rally taking place. Cepport ofwhat support of hamas . There have been other similar rallies in new york and california, d. C. In washington state. Is and heres a woman even holding up a swastika. Multiple University Campuses are also hosting prohamas rallies. This includes one college in california that featured a hamacaliforns terrorist on a the same paragliding published by the Chicago Black lives matter chapter there. And, of course, we have already reported about the numeroue s Student Groups and Student Leaders at places like a uva, a columbia, other schools, who published deeply antisemitic statements and defendin g hamas. Newer nyu Student Bar Association president just had a job offer rescinded after blamint g israel, the victim of terror, and Israel Aloneor being the victim of terror. Now for this weekends barbaric terror attacks. I but its not just students spewing this vile rhetoric. One yale professor with publications at the New York Times and the Washington Post tweeting the following Quote Settlers are not civilians. This isnt hard. She is now, you know, excusing the murder of innocent unarmed men, women, children. An kids at anching Ivy League Institution like yale the antisemitism and hatred on the left has become now so pronounced even fake. Jake tapper over fake news. Cnn even hes starting to notice. Wo is startw. Light went on there for a loo once. Take a look. These last few days have beek. Nn a real eye opening period for a lot of people, a lot of democrats, a lot of progressive lot of s in terms of antisemitism on the left, a lot of people who seem more shocked at dehumanizing language usecked d by leaders to describe hamas than what hamas actually on saturday. Now we have a debate coming up. Cornell west and alanthey w dershowitz, they will be here to debate this risl bee of Intim Academia and the Democratic Party right nowitm in our focus is on Southern Israel tonight. And as we speak, Hundreds Of Thousands of israeli soldiers. They are now preparingf th forlk what looks like an imminent Ground War Response by israean why . Because the Very Existenceth of israee veryl is in the balan. Think about it. If hamas lay dow. N their arms right now and they surrendered, there would be peace. Ave laid but if israels laid down its arms, there would be no israel. Think about that. Make no mistake, this is what this conflict is all about. Were going to have a lot more on this straigh lott ahead tonight. But joining us first from Jo O Foran Caucuthe Battle Speaker in the Republican Caucus and now The One And Only hitchhikers guide to all things dc, chad pergram with us. Ting chad, its been an interesting day today. Where do we stan day, whed as this hour . Rig well, right now, there is no speaker of the house. Ninth this is the ninth day in a row that there has not been speaker of the house. A Steve Scalise, he was able stevto win in the republican conference today, but he does not have the votes to winy on the floor. As i always say, its about the math. I just spokehe mario diazbala, a republican congressman from florida, just a couple of moments ago, and he said that there were certain forces, certain republicane wer who were trying to undercut Steve Scalise. And, you know, he said is th the general consensus was that if that you got the votes and thgot the republican confere today, that members would go ahead and Support Himuld Gou on the floor. He said they must not believe in elections. Thats the line from mariotions. Diazbalart. I also spoke to another senior republican aide this evening to who said they didnt think it would be this bad. They didnt think that Steve Scalise would have the votesulde coming out of that Conference Meeting and be ably e to godidnt to the house floor and win. But they didnt think that there would be this chasm s deficit that he would have to make up. I mean, i mean, theresy ca some here on capitol hill who dont think that they can ever make up that deficit. Dusthe deficy johnson, a republn representative from south dakota, he indicated that he though. Factt that Steve Scalisef made a little bit of Progress Today and upholdin today ig alt, a republican from florida. She indicated that she was now fo heSteve Scalise. Jon, heres the other thing, jim jordan, you after he wastode vanquished by scalise today, he met with steve and threw his support to Steve Scalise and encouraged his supporters to back Steve Scalise. There are many of them continuing to back jim jordan. Is th the key here is that they justy dont havejust votes to elect a speaker. And what that means is the house Remainwhat Tins And S In , this paralysis as the middle east this is on fire and the hv cant even pass a resolution to say it stands by israel. Steve scalise said that wouldbed be his first bit of action if b he was elected speaker. I back to you. You know, as i was a watching all this unfold today, there was an opportunity for the Republican Caucus as theytoh were meeting together. There was an opportunity for th in conference together as a unit that theyve v would not leave unless they all agreed they would have the votes to for speakerow that was voted down. That seemed like a pretty Commonsensical Type of rule. Why would they have that voted that down . That would obviously have prevented, you know, maybe Something Like what happened with Kevin Mccarthy from happening again and having mcc c 15 votes. That seemed like a common sense approach to me. Why did itseoach to why did go . Yeah, yeah. That was, you know, again, a quote, small de in democratic vote in the conference there. You know the cons. That just die the votes to to pass. It was generally thought that had they adopted that that that would help out jim jordan. Some people said were changing the rules at the last minute. You know, the republican s often talk about regular order. Thats the way they have done it traditionally that whoeveatr wins in the conference then goes to the floor. But the problem is thelem is tyh this narrow majority. They have these deep divides, these schism these s inside the republican conference, and they just cannot win on the floor. Theres a reason why Kevin Mccarthy took five days and 15 rounds to be elected speaker back in january. An echo this is an echo of that. And it may continue to echo for the next couple of days, if not longer. Ill tell you the next thing theyre looking at, the next big train coming down the tracks is trying to fund th by the middle of november. I mean, you know, in order Shutvert A Governmenbut in ot sn just a couple of days ago, they effectively shut down the congress here becausn e they dont have a speaker. The speaker pro tem is Patrick Mchenr r pro tey. This i asked him tonight, i said, you know, is this over . How bad does this look . , how his and he said, this isnt over yet. There are some who thinko tem that the speaker, pro tem Patrick Mchenry, he could be the person that they trouldy to tap if they eventually get sideways or sean, you know, if this goes on for longer,r maybe a week or two. Maybe they eventually get a coalitiooalitionn of democratsgn and republicans and elect someone that we have not eveme w thought about. That would be, you know, just an amazingouazin Seismic Changee on capitol hill. They definitely need to get their act together thed. To they need to choose a speaker. They need to unite and they need to show the countryy need they can lead. Chad, thank you for that update. We appreciate it. Inw, youre goin. E thupdateg hae report on the ground in israel in a few minutes. But first, joining us now to react to our top story tonight, former white house Chief Of Staff reince, jet ceo of the lawfare project. Brooke goldstein, is with us, former White House Press secretary ari fleischer. You know, brooke, as i as iessw laid out, Congresswomaomann Leae as i laid out our democratic colleagues unwilling to criticize, demo her, it is it is mind numbing to me that yougr have a party in america that is allowing, you know, some of the most radical extremes bigots and antisemitic voices to go unchecked. How does the Democratic Party, then what the party of political correctnessat i the party thats woke . How do they allow thislc to happeomedn . I hope you can hear me. F a i think theres a bit of a connection issue, too. But i want to emphasizes how serious this is that we have terror affiliated groups and Terror Sympathizers at the highest level of government in our schools. And in our unions. Dont forget, also maha bitar was appointed by the Biden Administration as the senior director of intelligence on National Securityence, who is a former board member of students for justice whi palestine, which is organizing these prohamas rallies as we speak and are terror affiliatedn. And they feel emboldened to do this because the u. Sed. Government has not acted to root out those connected with designated Terrorist Groups that are on our campuses or in our unions. The starbucks union, for examplthe stare, was posting su for hamas, uclsoa right now is having an event i to
