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 mean . What does that mean . It means he has turned his back on farmers, on rural communities, and the 11 million children who go to bed hungry in this country. [applause] the republican nominee wants a National Abortion ban. With no exceptions for rape, incest, or the health of a mother. We want to make our own Healthcare Decisions in consultation with our families, our doctors, our faith, not with jim jordan. [applause] the republican nominee plotted to overturn the 2020 election, traffics in misinformation and is a true threat to our democracy and our constitution. I have had the privilege of working here in the peoples house for almost ten years and ive gotten to know many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle and i know that you hear the same thing that i do, the American People expect us to Work Together on their behalf. [applause] it is not too late for the majority to choose a bipartisan path forward, to reopen the house, take yes for an answer. [applause] every day every day the majority chooses to engage in a republican civil war that is threatening their own members instead of engaging with us in the work of the American People is a day that weakens this institution and the standing of our country. We need a speaker who will govern through consensus, not conflict. We need a speaker worthy of wielding that gavel. A leader who will defend democracy, not degrade it. More than ever, we need proven patriotic people first leadership. And that is why i am proud to nominate Hakeem Jeffries as speaker of the house. [applause] [chanting hakim] the clerk will now call the roll. Adams. Jeffries. Adder holt jordan. Aguilar, jeffries, alfred, jordan. Allen, jordan. John the voting begins after solidarity by the democrats. They clapped and chanted Hakim JeffreysName Standing in contrast to the republicans divided whether or not jim jordan should be the speaker. Two failed attempts in the past days have not vaulted him into that coveted position. He will go at it for a third time. Chad pergram has been all over this saga since it began. He joins us now with the latest. This is a Fait Accompli right out of the box, chad. We seem to think that jim jordan indicated this morning, we asked if he had picked up any more votes and he said i think so. Not really definitive statement here. He has signaled he is willing to fight and continue to go vote after vote after vote if he can maybe into the weekend. I spoke with one senior republican a little bit ago saying it is starting to wear thin if he doesnt show progress maybe he should bow out. In the its 427. If all 427 still vote for somebody by name, i will say that again. Not the most votes wins, its if they have somebody who votes for a member by name. The magic number is 214. There are six absences. Keep in mind the house has a total membership of 433. Absences now, two republican side of the aisle, van orden a republican of wisconsin a support of jim jordan went to israel this weekend and Wesley Hunt A Freshman from texas, four democratic absences and where this could start to alter a little bit where it might look like jim jordan picked up ground. Not as many no votes on the democratic side. Adam smith. Gonzalez of texas and mcdonald from new jersey. I asked hakeem jeff reese earlier this morning will you have all your members all weekend to block jim jordan from the speakership and he said yes were committed to doing so. We believe that jim jordan presents a danger to the country in the speakership. Well know again, john, it is not final until they gavel the vote down. The past couple times weve been to this rodeo weve been able to tell early in the Roll Call Vote if jim jordan will have the votes. This is what will happen over the next half hour or so on the floor. John looking forward to it. Well watch it along with you. Meantime back to the war in the middle east. Israeli forces continue air strikes on Terror Targets in gaza. A Ground Invasion into the strip could happen at any moment now. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu telling troops were going to win with all our might. Israeli forces say they have destroyed hamas tunnels, arms depots and scores of operational headquarters, Satellite Images showing hundreds of israeli tanks gathered in fields four miles north of gaza as they intend to send thousands of soldiers in to destroy hamas. Troops near the border yesterday the Prime Minister told them israel will crush the terrorists. [speaking native language] john President Biden announced humanitarian assistance for Palestinian People in gaza warning hamas not to interfere or get its hands on the aid. President biden in discussions with the leaders of israel and egypt, i secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance from the United States to Palestinian Civilians in gaza. Hamas does not divert or steal this shipment. These shipments well provide an opening for sustained delivery of lifesaving humanitarian assistance for the palestinians. John we have complete coverage of the war coming up a spokeswoman for netanyahu. First to trey yengst. Busy morning, not so much this afternoon, trey. Thats exactly right. There is a lot of anticipation around this looming ground offensive. I want to show you behind me the gaza strip. Throughout the day rocket fire to Southern Israel and targeting cities in the central part of the country. The israelis have continued air strikes not just against the Rocket Launching Positions but the tunnels and command centers inside gaza. You still see the black smoke on the horizon. There is a Growing Effort by the israelis to hit as many targets as possible inside gaza. Our cameras picking up some of those buildings along the border in the strip. You can see significant destruction. Israelis have launched thousands of air strikes since the October 7th Massacre. We anticipate they will continue this type of fire ahead of that expected Ground Operation. I do want you to listen to israels Defense Minister who spoke earlier today at the congress and talk about how long it might take. There is a completely different Security Regime. We have complete Freedom Of Action and there is no threat. This will not take a day nor a week and unfortunately not a month. Moments ago sirens started sounding in the Northern City of a town that sits on the border between israel and southern lebanon. Throughout the day there have been a variety of incidents there. Rocket and mortar fire to northern israel. Infiltration attempts. Israelis say they hit a number of hezbollah targets in the southern part of lebanon and indicated today they killed at least three hezbollah operatives as they continued that operation trying to hit those targets and the idf confirming the sirens now telling people to take shelter in the northern town there. John right at the tip of the gal galilee peninsula. Let me get you respond to something. He said there will be a different Security Regime in gaza. What does that mean . As we stated, the goal of the operation in gaza right now of this war that we didnt start, we didnt even expect. We were dragged into it by hamas when they carried out the October 7th Massacre and butchered 1,400 israelis. We said the goal is to dismantle hamas and they will lack the motivation to ever hurt us as they did. We will also take out their Governance Bodies and we will make sure that hamas will be no longer in the gaza strip. It will change the reality here. There are different Contingency Plans being discussed in Israely Circles and international and american counterparts now about the day after. We arent there yet. Right now we are very determined to accomplish this goal. We are a nation in deep, deep pain as President Biden said yesterday. He was here and witnessed the pain. He met with some of these families who lost loved ones. We are very determined and our cause is clear and just. John in terms of this different security arrangement. I know thats for the day after. I assume thats what this summit in jordan between President Biden, The King Of Egypt and abbas was supposed to be about . Well, obviously our american counterparts are discussing with different players in the region. We are not part of some of these discussions. We are holding different discussions with regional partners as well behind the scenes. But once we will complete the mission of dismantling hamas i can tell the you also other actors across the region will understand that a strong israel, an israel that took out this terrorist monstrous regime also serves their interest. It is not coincidental this massacre took place when israel was on the brink of a dloip mat i can breakthrough with saudi arabia. Peace and calm in the region is the enemy of the terrorists. Thats the worst nightmare, in fact. John the idea what comes next is something i will discuss with General Petraeus here on fox. We had the Prime Minister on the front lines with the troops and the Defense Minister. He said if you havent seen the inside of gaza yet, you soon will. I take it a Ground Operation is imminent. Well, i cannot divulge any information about operational military strategy. When the Prime Minister went down south to meet with some of these brigades, he saw and described that he saw the fire in their eyes. Some of these soldiers that he saw lost friends over the past 14 days but they are so determined and they have a strong resilient nation behind them. You know why . Israel is a small nation. Everyone in this country knows someone who serves on the front lines, someone taking part in the National Effort as far as the reserve force. We mobilized many forces or someone who was abducted. 203 israelis still being held captive in gaza. Someone was killed or someone who was injured. We are all in this together and we will win. John on the subject of the hostages, russia is reportedly in contact with hamas in an attempt to free them. The Russian Ambassador to israel stated of course we have contacts with representatives of hamas and first of all, they are aimed at rescuing the hostages from the places where they are now. Captured by hamas militants on the first day of the terrorist attack on israeli civilians. Israel has a nominal relationship with russia. Do you want and need their help on this issue . I cannot comment about anything that has been said or reported allegedly happening between russia and hamas. What i do know is Prime Minister netanyahu has spoken to President Putin of russia a few days ago regarding the hostages. All we say and keep repeating it every day one of the Top Priorities of the operation. Calling on hamas to release them and hoping that many in the International Community will join our demand and back it when we say we want the red cross to visit them. This is the number one humanitarian pressing issue in gaza right now. The state of the hostages. We will bring them back. John were looking at live pictures just a second ago from up at the border between israel and lebanon where things continue to heat up. Well get to that in a second. Lets listen to what President Biden said in his address to the nation last night. Tomorrow i will send to congress an urgent budget request to fund Americas National security needs, to support our critical partners including israel and ukraine. Its a smart investment that will pay dividends for American Security for generations. If we walk away and let putin stop ukraines independence there was a speech not just about israel but ukraine as well. Finish us out here. Did the president pay enough attention to the situation in israel . The president was here and we were very grateful for his visit. The fact that he flew into a war zone. This is unprecedented and speaks volumes of the support that were receiving from the American People and the bipartisan support we see in the u. S. Congress is very important that the United States is meeting this with its global moral leadership. When you guys are setting the tones, others follow. Just like was the case with isis when we saw an International Coalition formed to defeat this monstrous organization thats the case with hamas and happening in front of our eyes. Were very grateful for the support were receiving from the American People. John well stand by and watch along with you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you, john. John voting set to begin for the third time this week for the House Speakership. Chad pergram has been all over this saga and back with us again. What does it look like now, chad . Not good for jim jordan. They are 110, 111 votes into the roll call. Even though we have a lot of votes to be cast in this third Roll Call Vote for speaker it appears he doesnt have the votes. He has lost nine votes already. The magic number is four, fewer members voting today for speaker. Magic number is 214. Already nine members on the board voting for someone other than jim jordan as the republican nominee. I look up and down the list here. The republican from nebraska voting for Patrick Mchenry. One for donalds. Mike garcia. Patrick mchenry. Jimenez the republican from florida voting for Kevin Mccarthy. It is what we anticipated. The question is whether or not jim jordan is able to show progress in the vote. It is not so much he was going to win on this Roll Call Vote here. The question is whether or not he would show progress. He didnt show progress on the second Roll Call Vote they took on wednesday. He went from 22 members against him to 22 even though he had one more person here who was for him, a republican of florida. Right now even though early in the Roll Call Vote it does not appear that he has the votes and will be able to survive. This would go to a fourth ballot if he wants to do so. John. John chad pergram for us as we watch the vote unfolding on capitol hill. So far jim jordan with 67 votes. Steve scalise with three. Mccarthy with one. Eight others, jordan is headed for the same tally that he had in the last two votes, about 20 dissenters. He met with all of them on capitol hill prior to this vote trying to convince them that they should vote for him. That they should put it to bed. The house needs a speaker. A lot of business to get done. According to one member who was in that meeting, what those 20 were trying to do is convince jim jordan to give up the pursuit of the speakership. Republican Congressman Brian Mast from florida is with us. He is the only member of congress to serve in both the u. S. Army and Israeli Defense forces and with us now. So this pursuit of the speakership by jim jordan. Would you encourage him to continue or would you encourage him to drop it and you go with plan c . I would encourage him to continue right now. The fact is for everybody that ive spoken to or heard speak about why they dissent from him has been petty reasons and largely totally unrelated to who jim is as a leader, as a chairman, as somebody that could be speaker. It is related to peripheral things dating back to january whether they didnt like what somebody did with Kevin Mccarthy or didnt like what somebody did with steve scalise. It is not about who jim jordan is. I think he whats the potential to be an amazing speaker and great leader. American people trust him. What washington, d. C. Needs. Yes, i think he should continue forward. John in a very strong nominating speech in support of jim jordan Kevin Mccarthy said the same thing. I remember Albert Einstein saying something to the effect the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. Can there be a different outcome . There can be a different outcome. You use Kevin Mccarthy as the model for this. Whenever jim jordan is not on the floor of the house he is speaking to people behind closed doors. What is your issue . What is your goalpost . How can i meet that . What needs to happen in policy we arent seeing eyetoeye . There is not a lot in policy it is getting people over personal frustrations unrelated to jim. I think it can happen. John lets get back to the war between israel and hamas. Urging support for israel in an open letter we call upon the Biden Administration and congress to Work Together to continue giving is rah will the support it needs militarily, diplomatically and as long as it needs to eliminate this threat. Your take on President Bidens speech last night. Did he say the things that needed to be said with this conflict looking like it could blow into a regional war . I would capture President Bidens speech in this way. It was disinformation on a number of fronts. There was a great extent of missing information and it was inconsequential information. Nobody in israel gives a rats caboose about a train or twostate solution as they havent recovered hostages buried or mourned people. Nobody cares about that. Missing information was speaking to the extent of what is going on with our lost americans killed. Those that are still hostages. Basically glossed over that. Didnt speak about iran at all and disinformation in respect. When he says that the Palestinian People are not represented by hamas, in my opinion thats the same leap that so much of the media are making when they jump to say it was israelis that bombed that hospital. Right now it should be incumbent upon palestinians to prove that hamas does not represent them. In my opinion everything supports the contrary. They werent out there getting hostages return. Their Education System supports hamas, paid Hamas Terrorists whether they commit an atrocities last year or 20 years ago, they support hamas. And if hamas is not their defact owe government which they elected, why havent the Palestinian People rooted them out already . You see the examples of this across college campuses, accost the country. Hamas has the support of Palestinian People. John President Biden addressing the nation last night on all this and worries about his age intensifying as he is now dealing with that historic war in the middle east. One columnist with a blunt headline, biden is just too old for this. One example, this odd comment on the Hospital Blast in gaza. Listen here. President biden im not suggesting that hamas deliberately did it, either. Thats the whole thing. And its not the first time hamas has launched something that didnt function very well. John more concerns the president appears to read instructions rather than just the speech from his teleprompter last night. Watch this. President biden putin attacks a nato ally well defend any inch of nato that the treaty requires and calls for and have something that we do not seek make it clear we do not seek to have american troops fighting in russia or fighting against russia. John everybody has Teleprompter Problems from time to time. He said hamas needs to learn how to shoot straight. What about they need to learn not to shoot at all. You can talk about that and him basically lecturing israel saying dont let rage consume you. Lets make sure that you follow the laws of war. As the country was brutalized by anything but the laws of war. He said hey, we see you. But the fact is he doesnt really see what happens here. If those are the things he is not saying he is reading them and talking about inconsequential train and making another country out of palestinians now. If he thinks he will get a bill out of the House Of Representatives that lumps ukraine, israel, border, we know he is not interested in border at all and taiwan or something else, again he is not seeing whats taking place. Thats not going to happen. John Congressman Brian Mast as we look at live pictures of the israel lebanon border. A fire on the hillside and the border with lebanon. A wave of air attacks has u. S. Facilities in the middle east on high alert. U. S. Coalition forces in baghdad came under attack. Two rockets fired into an area near the airport. Earlier in the week iran linked drones targeted Military Bases in iraq and syria and the u. S. S. Carney intercepted missiles fired out of yemen likely aimed at israel. Pentagon press secretary pat rider with this warning. First of all these attacks, these small scale attacks are clearly concerning and dangerous, right . As i mentioned well do everything necessary to insure that were protecting our forces and if and when we choose to respond well do so in the time of our choosing. Right now this conflict is contained between israel and hamas and we are going to do everything we can to insure deterrents in the region so it doesnt become a broader regional conflict. John five other u. S. Warships are heading closer to israel. Massive show of American Naval power is intended to deter iran and iranian backed hezbollah from getting more directly involved in the war. Will it work . David spunt at the pentagon with the latest. You mentioned those strikes. Those came down moments before President Biden gave his address to the nation from the oval office. There were also separate Drone Strikes with no casualties which is the good news in syria and iraq. One was in syria. The u. S. And coalition destroyed one of those drones while the other resulted in minor injuries to u. S. Forces. In western iraq they shot down one drone and destroyed one. One American Contractor died of a Cardiac Arrest episode while seeking shelter. In Northern Iraq u. S. Forces destroyed a Drone Resulting in no injury or damage luckily. We have the capability to defend our broader interests in the region and deter escalation and broader exchanges that began with the hamas attack on israeli civilians. On thursday the u. S. S. Carney shot down three land attack cruise miss ilks. Several drones fired by Houthi Militia In Yemen in the forefront. The u. S. Used these incidents as separate from the conflict of israel and hamas. Despite these attacks all taking place after the Hospital Bombing on tuesday where hamas immediately blamed israel. Meanwhile a group of naval vessels are in the immediate area to keep things at bay when it comes to hamas. Lebanese, hezbollah or any other iranian proxies and ready to spring into action if needed. Were waiting to see if any type of ground war in israel where you are kicks off. John were all waiting for that. David spunt at the pentagon. Retired Army Lieutenant colonel is with us now. He is the cofounder and Executive Director of restore liberty. Let me ask you first of all if i could about what david spunt was saying. The pentagons assessment is the attacks against the u. S. Forces were completely separate from whats going on in israel with the war between israel and hamas and potentially hezbollah. What do you say to that . I think i probably would disagree a little bit with that. I think its all tied together. Maybe not centrally planned or coordinated but what they are looking for is to light the fires across the middle east. Anywhere you will find u. S. Forces or Coalition Forces who alie with us are going to be targeted by state or nonstate actors regardless. I think to try to divorce and just centralize israel in the Hamas Conflict and say Everything Else is unrelated, i dont think thats accurate. I dont have the intelligence picture they do but i think most of us watching this would say it is clearly all tied together in some way even if its just with likeminded people. John if you were looking at the ground and trying to figure out when the best time to go in on a Ground Operation would be, knowing how israel has degraded hamass capabilities. There was 100 air strikes overnight. Knowing there was a threat from the north with lebanon raining tens of thousands of rockets potentially down on israel. When would you think the best time to go in on the ground would be . I was thinking about this earlier today and i came to the conclusion one thing with the Israeli Defense forces and their capabilities. Theyre able to go in whenever they want. Im sure what they are doing is decapitating everything within gaza city meaning the command and control, communications and some of the other logistics that they have. Tied to that would be when to move next on the ground into gaza city. I would think it would be during the daytime because it is such a complicated environment to fight in. They dont have the Night Training that we are capable of. The ability to move during the daylight would be most advantageous. John the call to shabbat declared a day of rest. The idf and war is not bound by the observance of shabbat. They could go in later tonight or tomorrow morning. Well watch. Meantime the white house apologized for posting this photo of the president with u. S. Special force troops in israel. Unlike what you see in the photograph that were about to put up in a second here, their faces were not obscured so they essentially have been docsed and loads of backlash to that. David cook, Executive Director of special Operations Association of america saying the risk is high. These guys that got pictured could ruin their careers. They could put their families in danger and them in danger. There is a picks lateed photo of the president with the special operators. What kind of risk could publishing their faces put them at . John, i would say one thing david is 100 , high risk. This risk not only to them in israel and the mission whatever their mission is and what it is to fulfill but it is their families as well. I think thats one of the chief concerns that we should all add. This is entry level work in the Department Of Defense and white house and they failed and put these people at risk for no reason. I think there is a decent chance they may not be in country very much longer because of that. The Intelligence Network with hamas, hezbollah, iran, many others is much more extensive and capable that we realize at times. These gentlemen who were with bide inand called First Responders right now do have their lives at risk and much greater risk now exposed like this. That picture has gone worldwide. Doesnt matter they took it down. Its everywhere. John facing a different risk are the hostages being held in gaza. A heartbreaking story, 12yearold girl, autistic. She and her mother were found dead. She was a huge harry potter fan that prompted the author of harry potter to say kidnapping of children is unjust fileable. If the Ground Operation begins does it put the remaining 203 hostages in Greater Danger . John, i dont think there is any way around it. It will put them in Greater Danger. I cant help but think one of the reasons why were taking this long to get to a Ground Assault is not only because of the callup of the reserves of the idf but their ability and the nations ability to develop an intelligence picture of what they are moving into in general as a Ground Assault and trying to identify the locations of those hostages and best idea would be to try to rescue as many as possible at one time. That may be part of the delay. Either way, this is honestly a horrible situation and puts netanyahu in a position of making the decision of whether or not he has to move forward with this offensive regardless of what the intelligence paints for them as far as the hostages are concerned and what the possible fallout is for those hostages. We will constantly pray that they are recovered safely but know he has to make a hard decision. John well be praying along with you. Lieutenant colonel, good to get your thoughts on this. Thank you. In the face of hamass brutality, republican lawmakers are calling out the liberal squad for parroting hamas propaganda. Across the country students are protesting against israel and the backlash against that is growing. Tammy bruce on that coming up next. When did doing business become more about culture wars and less about well, business . Some companies today bring politics into the boardroom, then into our living rooms. Thats why i use Spotlight Reports from 1792 exchange. Here, i can search more than 2,000 companies, to see if they care more about divisive social issues than about running a sound business. Isnt it time we got back to the business of business . Learn the risk to your company or family at 1792exchange. Com. John students in San Francisco staging a walkout to demand a ceasefire in the Israel Hamas War. Dozens of colleges facing scrutiny from donors and alumni after the brutal attack by hamas. Antiisrael rallies are rampant at universities across the country. Alexis mcadams is live at Columbia University with the latest. Here at columbia there are events happening on a daily basis making some of the students feel uncomfortable and the case at other campuses in New York City at nyu. In a recent video clip shared, a professor here at columbia slammed the Ivy League University saying he would never send his own child here and called the president a coward. Its protests like this happening across the country. Harvard, mit, Duke University and portland. Lots of protests happening. Propalestinian like that at nyu last week are making jewish students there feel threatened, they say. Scared to walk around campus. It comes as hundreds of Nyu Faculty Members started a group to support palestinian students on campus. The more than 200 Staff Members writing online they condemn the brutal killing of civilians in the israeli militarys ongoing bombardment of the gaza strip and calling on other faculty promote propalestinian speech. Jewish Student Groups are disgusted with nyu. Watch. I think that nyu faculty has made the statement itself now. Nyu is not supporting its jews and not hearing the cries of fear of its jewish student population. The president of the nyu Student Bar Association is facing removal after writing israel bears full responsibility for the recent violence. All remaining members of the Bar Association there stepped down from their position. A lot happening at the ivy league campuses. Donors at major universities like the University Of Pennsylvania say we wont give you another dollar unless you put a stop to the propalestinian rallies because they feel like universities are not doing enough, john. John Alexis Mcadams outside of columbia. Fox news contributor tammy bruce joins us now. Alexis mentioned Columbia University professor slamming the university over its response to the Israel Hamas War and protests across campus. Listen to how he put it. We would never allow never allow the kkk to march on our campus. We would never allow proisis demonstration to happen. But here we have propalestinian organizations and when my daughter, i would never, never send her to columbia. John i would never send her to columbia and he is a professor there. What is going on at colleges across the country and since when did we ignore a heinous act of terror that killed more than 1,400 people and support a Terrorist Group . With all the hell that is unfolding in the middle east one thing it is has done is pulled the curtain back. It is not new. This is the result of the infection on the left. We see it with the squad in washington and we see it in this environment. The argument of course is that nothing is really about a free palestinian because you can accomplish that without murdering babies and slitting their throats. This is about the jewish people. And that is what underlies this is jew hatred. The free press run by weiss had a good analogy about the mass murder. If we had a racist group march to celebrate dylann roof and the murder of those Black Americans in that church, there would have been universal outrage. It would have been rejected. Yet when it comes to jews, they wont do it. And yet all of the diversity, inclusion and equity requirements say that this is about embracing people and making everyone feel that they belong. Of course perhaps except for the jews. In fact, even at harvard, they have argued from the Washington Examiner late last year that misgendering someone could be a violation of policy in title ten and you could be suspended. So there is a decision here that has infected really most universities. We see at this point. Not all, but many. That were allowing this kind of jew hatred to be perpetrated and to be displayed as though this attack on peoples religion or culture doesnt really matter and it has never been about making people uncomfortable. It is about i was thinking all the Liberal Arts Colleges across the country are bending over backwards to create safe spaces for students. Yet at the same time they support and even promote a hostile environment for jewish students as Alexis Mcadams was letting us know. This is the fruit from the poisoned tree. Those argument rely on an entire section of society teaching, indoctrinateing young people to believe that other people, because of their race or because of their religion or even because of their politics are evil and are dangerous and need to be stopped. So when the indoctrination starts through this dei dynamic and safe spaces and Political Correctness you are indoctrinateing people to look at other human beings because of characteristics as individuals who are dangerous to you because of their existence and need to be controlled. This is not just a natural extension of that. This is what has bred those policies. John its the jewish students feeling endangered and colleges are doing nothing about it. You reference this. Far left squad democrats refuse to condemn the violence of hamas, michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib placing the blame on israel. There is outrage about that rhetoric. When you have parroting the line that israel is targeting hospitals it will lead to ancillary violence in all these other places. We certainly do not need members of congress from the squad being a part of the Propaganda Machine coming out of washington, d. C. In support of hamas. Its very dangerous in these times. They are a disgraceful bunch. The fact that we have sympathizers as members of congress is so unbecoming and so horrifying. John her own president said in a speech last night that israel was not to blame for that Hospital Explosion and now misreporting of that whole episode has inflamed the middle east in ways it wasnt prior to that Hospital Explosion. And yet they continue to do it, tammy. They do because for the left, the worldwide left, the reason to be is because of victimhood. Thats why you see inner cities and blue cities life never improves and why hamas uses civilians and their own space, the entire gaza strip as a man pad for terrorism. It breeds more suffering and terrorism. It is why they lied about the hospital. They need victims for a reason to exist. It will never end with the left. A new enemy always and someone else to smash. The only way you can make these arguments and what we were dealing with the squad. Their entire being for the left and those kinds of activists especially is to make sure that victimhood stays in the top of our minds and if it doesnt exist, they will create it. So that is what were facing here. John tammy bruce for us. As always, thank you. Thank you, sir. John back on capitol hill now in the third round of voting for House Speaker it is going exactly like we thought it would. Senior Congressional Correspondent chad pergram following it all. When you go to del mar you must win on everything. Well, john, we knew how the vote was going to go. We knew how many members were opposed to jim jordan. For the third time in four days he is going down in flames. He doesnt have the votes. In fact he has fewer supporters today than he had in the other two Roll Call Votes. He indicated this morning that he thought he would have more. He might have been able to flip a few people. He lost 20 in the vote on tuesday, 22 on wednesday but today he has gone to 25. What they are doing now is tabulating everything and Patrick Mchenry the speaker pro tem of the House Of Representatives will announce the official total momentarily and say there is no speaker been selected. I look at the list now. Womack, voted for steve scalise. Stauber, a republican from minnesota voted for bruce westerman. Jakel see for mike garcia. The list goes on and on. Jordan indicated he would try to force the house to vote all weekend maybe. But this is where i have had conversation with other members. One member in particular very senior here who said at some point it will wear thin with the membership. Keeping people here and saying well vote again and again. He said buddy, you wont have to path to win the speakership and some problem that republicans have at this stage. The one thing that could be in play and something that jim jordan was for for five minutes yesterday and rescinded that was maybe having a vote to empower Patrick Mchenry as the actual speaker pro tem and the house could get back to operations. John i was talking to Congressman Brian Mast in the hour encouraging jordan to keep going. I cited einsteins idiom doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Why should jordan believe it will get any better . This is why you have the internal clash. Warfare inside the republican conference between different factions here. The math does not work for jim jordan. I always say its about the math. He cannot get the equation to balance. Right now he is not going to be the speaker of the house. John well continue to watch this all weekend as we also continue to watch what happens here in israel with a Ground Operation believed to be imminent. Hasnt started yet. May not start tonight but we believe in the hours ahead that well hear something going on. Thanks for watching the faulkner focus.
