Congress has a new House SpeakerTonight Ending three weeks of uncertainty and chaos that along the way crushed the hopes of a string of highprofile republicans, all seeking the job after Kevin Mccarthy was booted from the post. Instead, late today the republican Majority Mustering the 217 votes needed and then some to lift a relative unknown, louisianas mike johnson, to the speakers podium. Johnson, a hardright conservative, who in just hours was propelled from minor Party Leadership role to second in the constitutional line to the presidency. The new speaker sworn in this afternoon. In his first remarks declaring, the peoples house is back in business. Our Garrett Haake has been following all of the drama leading up to todays vote and has late details. Reporter after three chaotic and leaderless weeks, tonight the house once again has a speaker. The speakerelect, mike johnson, from the state of louisiana. Reporter Louisiana Republican mike johnson elected on a partyline vote with the support of every republican, every democrat opposed. A stunning rise for the trump ally and lowranking member of the gop house leadership team, now second in line to the presidency. The challenge before us is great, but the time for action is now. Reporter johnson is a staunch conservative on issues like abortion and government spending. He also played a key role in efforts by then President Trump to overturn joe bidens electoral victory in the 2020 election, history noted by democrats today. Joe biden won the 2020 president ial election. No amount of Election Denialism will ever change that reality. Are you worried that a speaker johnson would again attempt to overturn the election . No. Reporter johnsons election caps a turbulent month for the house beginning with the ouster of former speaker Kevin Mccarthy and the elevation and withdrawal of three other gop nominees before the Party Settled on the relatively unknown johnson late last night. If you dont think the movement from Kevin Mccarthy to maga mike johnson shows the ascendance of this movement and where the power in the Republican Party truly lies, then youre not paying attention. Reporter the eight republicans who led the effort to remove mccarthy declaring victory. The only way to Change Washington is to change who is leading washington and that is what we did today. Reporter johnson jolting the chamber back into action. I believe were going to be able to get this team to work together. Reporter with the house voting hours after his election on the first bill of any kind in nearly a month, a resolution supporting israel, which passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. So, garrett, whats on the new speakers plate now . Reporter well, lester, the thorniest issue will be funding the government, the same issue that ultimately cost Kevin Mccarthy his job. Government funding runs out in a little more than three weeks, and the house has wasted the last month so the new speaker will need to put a plan in action soon to avoid a shutdown just before thanksgiving. Lester. Garrett haake at the capitol, thanks. Im joined now by kristen welker, the moderator of meet the press. You have new reporting about how all this came together. The newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson is the son of a firefighter, a cultural conservative, as garrett said, and definitely not a household name, but, look, he won support from gop moderates in part because they were under so much pressure, as one told me this afternoon, you cant let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Johnson will likely have a steep Learning Curve as someone who has never been in a top leadership position. He represents a Ruby Red District in louisiana and now has to hold together this razor thin republican majority. So its going to be tough. Before i let you go, a headline of the former president , trumps civil trial today, what happened . This was a dramatic turn of events, lester. Former President Trump stormed out of a manhattan courtroom after a tense day after the judge refused his attorneys request to dismiss the case. The judge in this Civil Fraud Trial also called mr. Trump to take the Witness Stand to explain disparaging comments he made in the hallway about the clerk. The judge said, those comments violated a gag order barring mr. Trump from making personal attacks. The republican frontrunner was fined 10,000. Outside court mr. Trump insisted he has done nothing wrong. And, kristen, a little news of our own to share with folks, you and i will be moderating the republican primary debate on wednesday, november 8th live from miami. Hugh hewitt will join us as well, and there will be, i suspect, a lot to discuss. A lot to discuss. Looking forward to it. Absolutely. Thanks very much. The israel hamas war will be one of the many topics in that debate, and today President Biden pressed israel to protect civilians in gaza. Chief Foreign CorrespondentRichard Engel has late details. Reporter The Middle East tonight is on the edge of disaster. Gaza is being flattened. Horrific images are stoking rage across the muslim world. Tonight, President Biden tried to pull the region back from the brink saying, israel has a right and responsibility to target hamas, but that it has an obligation to protect palestinian civilians. Israel has to do everything in its power as difficult as it is to protect innocent civilians, and its difficult. Reporter he condemned hamas for using them as Human Shields and has no confidence in the ministry that 6,500 palestinians have been killed in the last 2 1 2 weeks. I have no notion that palestinians are telling the truth about how many people have been killed. Im sure innocents have been killed. And its the price of waging a war. Reporter israels allies in The Middle East were more blunt. Jordans King Abdullah saying stopping the war on gaza is an absolute necessity and that the conflict can lead to an explosion in the region. The president of egypt, the first country to sign a peace accord with israel, delivering the same message alongside french president macron. In gaza today, our crew filmed building after building destroyed by israeli air strikes. Israel today said, its targeting hamas tunnels that run under homes, schools, and hospitals. In one building, we saw this little girl inside of whats left of her apartment. Rescue workers tell her to stay calm, that theyre nearly done removing debris. Her leg is trapped under concrete. They try to free her without collapsing the pocket shes in, and finally shes safe. Hamas backer, iran, today blamed the United States for whats happening in gaza. Four iranian militias have already carried out probing attacks against u. S. Bases in syria and iraq. Today hezbollah in lebanon released this ominous photograph of the groups shadowy Leader Meeting with senior members of hamas and Palestinian Islamic jihad in front of a photograph of irans supreme leader. President biden had a message for him. My warning to the ayatollah was that if they continue to move against those troops, we will respond, and he should be prepared. Richard, President Biden also making Headlines Today with some pretty blunt criticism of Israeli Settlers on the west bank. Reporter this was a different speech than weve heard from President Biden since the start of this conflict. He said hes alarmed by extremist settlers attacking palestinians in the west bank and he called for a return to the Peace Process based on a twostate solution, lester. Richard engel, thank you. As weve been reporting, hospitals in gaza are struggling to care for all the wounded and many palestinians are looking for a safe haven. The Gaza Health Ministry says the entire system is collapsing. Ellison barber has that story. Reporter this is the scene inside gazas largest hospital. Overwhelmed with wounded, running out of every essential supply. Doctors tell us many of their patients are children. This is a 9yearold boy with a large blast injury on his back. Reporter at least it is open. The World Health Organization says six hospitals in gaza have already shut down due to a lack of fuel. The Ministry Of Health in gaza, an agency of the hamascontrolled government, says the number of closed hospitals is actually twice that, saying the Health System in gaza is in a state of complete collapse. Were running out of everything from simple dressings to complex burn dressings. We have over 150 patients ventilated in intensive care areas. Reporter the hospitals throughout gaza that are open, struggling to keep up, and in desperate need of fuel. Israels Military Claims Hamas has plenty of fuel and that they could provide it to the Overrun Hospitals in gaza. Hamas denies this. There is no room for additional patients, the Health Minister says. We are now using Hospital Hallways and staircases to treat the injured. Humanitarian aid is coming in, but not fast enough. Given the demand at gazas main morgue, even the shrouds used to cover the dead are running out. Ellison basher, nbc news, the israel gaza border. As the world debates the military response, 19 days since the worst Terror Attack in israeli history, its leaders are trying to frame the stakes. Today laying bare the brutality in graphic detail. Heres raf sanchez. Reporter it felt like there couldnt possibly be new horror left to see. No brutality that hadnt already been shared or livestreamed, but tonight with global attention turning to the spiraling death toll in gaza, israels military trying to keep the focus on the massacre that sparked the war, inviting nbc news and other journalists to a screening of raw video from the October 7th HamasTerror Attack. I have some sense of whats in this footage, and ive been trying to prepare myself but still anxious about what were going to see. For 46 minutes we sat in stunned silence watching video filmed by hamas and filmed by their victims. Much of it had never been seen before, and while israels military is not releasing the clips because theyre so graphic, they allowed us to describe what we saw, including a terrorist throwing a grenade into a bomb shelter where an israeli father is shielding his two young sons. The blast kills the father and wounds the little boys. One of them howls, why am i alive, and tells his brother, i think were going to die. A hamas gunman stands over them drinking coke from their fridge. Its not clear what happened to the boys. Im sure you can figure out that they are worse than isis. The way they behaved. Reporter the military released this video from a hamas dash cam exclusively to nbc news saying it shows the terrorists using a Heavy Machine Gun to mow down survivors fleeing from the supernova music festival. They knew, like, how to run. Reporter this woman among those running for their lives. When i was growing up, there was this movie about the holocaust. There is this scene that they are running, and there is people shooting at them and bombs on the ground, and i remember really thinking about this scene because it was so similar. Reporter she hid in a bush with friends for hours waiting for rescue. I dont know who i am, and i feel like a ghost most of the time. Raf, its a lot to take. Is there a sense this video could be seen eventually by a wider audience . Reporter yeah, lester, this video has only been shown to journalists so far, but many ordinary israelis are saying it should be made public for the whole world to see. Lester. Raf sanchez, thank you. And for israel and the u. S. , a top priority is securing the release of hostages held by hamas including some americans. Keir simmons is in qatar for us. Keir, President Biden is weighing in on this tonight. Reporter thats right, lester. The president saying he is encouraging israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to try to secure the release of those hostages taken by hamas in those Terror Attacks before launching a ground invasion. Meanwhile, here in qatar, they are mediating the intense talks and, for the first time, publicly predicting a breakthrough, hopefully soon, they say, for the civilian hostages including americans, but a diplomat with knowledge of the Hostage Talks tells nbc news for a larger number to be released, a pause in the bombing will be needed. A group of international hostages, some children, some injured, freed in the middle of a war would be unlike anything seen in recent history, lester, a formidable challenge. Keir simmons, thank you.
