See you all. [indistinct conversation] with the concerns regarding the middle east, we are going to get the speaker quickly, and move on these issues as it pertains to the mideast this week . The world is watching. They are seeing a dysfunctional democracy. This is what the ayatollah wants, iran, chairman xi, when he talks about democracy does not work. We need to prove him wrong. We need to get a speaker by wednesday. The first bill on the floor will be by resolution condemning hamas for these terrorist attacks in israel. You have concerns that what happened in israel was a coordinated approach by russia . Rep. Mccaul all roads lead to iran. You are irans allies . Its russia, china and north korea. They are all joined together. You look at the equipment, the missiles coming out of gaza, hamas, they are iranian. 100 million a year goes to train hamas. And hamas is going on the offensive. They have been training for this for a long time. It is the 50th anniversary of yom kippur, and they strike. [indiscernible] rep. Mccaul no. We have 3. 3 billion in Foreign Military financing available. The president has Drawdown Authority out of our current stockpiles to pull those weapons out. We need to replenish the iron dome. We need to give them precision guided missiles. We need to give them the ammunition 155s. Is there any situation involving limited special forces to get hostages out of gaza . Rep. Mccaul there are americans and american citizens. We get to work with the idf, with the israelis to get them out of there. Im worried that we have now probably 10 americans killed. How many more hostages . And the numbers going up with 1000 people total killed. 2200 injured. Right now, they are in the phase one know if going in to destroy command and control. Number two phase will be going house to house to root out terrorists has netanyahu has ordered them to do. Thats going to be very timeconsuming. Very dangerous, and a very bloody. Does the United States have a role in getting americans out of gaza . Rep. Mccaul yes, and we do have title 50. Our intelligence capabilities over there to assist the Israeli Military getting them out. Can you give us a sense [indiscernible] rep. Mccaul again, i said the worlds watching whats happening. We need to come together and unify behind a speaker. I think there is a general consensus that they want that. I would prefer to have that vote within the family before we go to the floor. And not have a repeat of the 15 ballots. I think it projects weakness. And every time you project weakness, you invite aggression. We have seen that after afghanistan, we see it with russia and ukraine, with china and taiwan, now with iran, hamas and israel. [indiscernible] tied to ukraine funding . Rep. Mccaul thats one of the options i here. There is also taiwanchina, countering china being tied to that, Border Security would be a big part of this. If we dont have a speaker, we cant put anything on the floor, and were paralyzed. Thats a strong message that regardless of your differences, we need to come together and nominate and elect a speaker, so we can move forward for the country at a very dangerous time. Those eight members that voted out mccarthy understand that . Rep. Mccaul if anything, it doesnt demonstrate more than hamas and the terrorist Organization Funded by iran invading israel. If that doesnt wake up from members of my conference, then i dont know what else would. Was that the overwhelming understanding in conference . Rep. Mccaul i think so. Was there any anger expressed towards those eight . Rep. Mccaul yes. [laughter] can you elaborate . Rep. Mccaul the question is tumble for a mccarthys name out, and skill ease, and jim jordan. People will by and large except the will of the conference, but getting to do and 17 will be an issue. [indiscernible] rep. Mccaul with respect to ukraine, if they run out of funding, if we withdraw out of ukraine, like we did in afghanistan, we will just invite more aggression. Project more weakness and make the world a more dangerous place. Is it harder now that Kevin Mccarthys name is in the mix . Rep. Mccaul the mccarthy supporters will probably rally behind one of the other two, if it meant unity within the conference for a speaker. Thank
