Who hasnt been elected speaker. Its unbelievable to see those vote totals when Hakeem Jeffries is the leader on the board. Shocking. And its side of the time, lawrence. Well see what the board says tomorrow. Thanks, alex. Have a good show. Thank you. Air force one was wheels up at Andrews Air Force base at 5 52 pm. President biden is now four hours into the ten hour flight to israel, where Air Force One is expected to land about about 11 am local time in israel. A little over an hour into the flight, at 709 pm, the white house issued this statement from President Biden on Air Force One. I am outraged and deeply saddened by the explosion at the al ahili Arab Hospital in gaza. And the terrible loss of life that resulted. And immediately upon hearing this news, i okwith King Abdullah of jordan, and Prime Minister netanyahu of israel, and have directed by National Security team to continue gathering information about what exactly happened. The United States stands on equivocally for the pr
Expected to raise while here, which is the humanitarian aspect of this, the fact that no humanitarian aid has been able to get into gaza, that has been something that Secretary Blinken and his Marathon Trips that hes been making here in The Middle East over the last several days and now i should note theyre just next door to where i am speaking to you meeting with that entire wartime cabinet and next he will hear from first responders, from victims families, from the families and relatives of hostages but there are going to be key questions between what he and the Prime Minister have discussed, humanitarian aid, poppy, is right at the top of that so well see if there are any announcements when the president comes and speaks in this room behind me. Thats whats next on his agenda but the white house said President Biden was walking into this with key questions not just about humanitarian aid, but also what israels goal is here. If they do go into gaza, with that expected Ground Incursion
News not with any phillip starts now. The horror of war takes a dramatic turn, suddenly changes the american president s trip to a dangerous and unpredictable war zone. Thats tonight on news night. Good evening, im abby philip. We begin with another Tipping Point and an already volatile crisis in the middle east. Hundreds of reported dead after a hospital was bombed in gaza. The number of casualties is not yet clear and neithers responsibility. Hamas and palestinian officials accuse israel of carrying out an airstrike. The israelis say they have evidence to prove that it was that misfired rocket from a terror group. Im going to take a moment to show you the video from the scene. It is extremely graphic. But its important to see that reality on the ground. [speaking in a nonenglish language] as fingers point, whats clear is that innocent civilians and children, you saw them there, are caught in this cross fire of a conflict that we have to remind you, began with a devastating attack on
Difficult mission that the president was embarking on became even more complicated just yesterday afternoon amid the blast at that hospital in gaza. The second portion of the president s trip ultimately was canceled. He was set to travel to jordan to talk about establishing humanitarian aid, establishing a corridor to get aid into gaza. But that trip was up ended in the aftermath of the blast. White house officials have down played the expectations of concrete deliverables. Of course the president is hoping to press both Benjamin Netanyahu as well as others on trying to alleviate some of the humanitarian concerns. But it is unclear what specific announcements the president might leave israel with. But part of his agenda while he is on the ground there today is to try to ascertain what exactly the israelis need as they continue to try to root out hamas. The u. S. Of course has said israel has the right to defend itself, but we have also seen the white house in recent days really trying
Votes cast by surname, the speaker has not been elected. Wahwah, jim jordans maga dreams of holding the speakers gavel come up short. Tonight, the house is still without a speaker. This kind of incompetence would never have happened in Nancy Pelosis democratic caucus, and tonight, the speaker emaitous joins me live, plus, horrific bloodshed in Gaza Ozhundreds of people are killed in a powerful explosion at a gaza city hospital. But we begin tonight with an unprecedented juxtaposition of crises. An intensifying Israel Hamas War with President Biden en route to the region, and with the House Of Representatives trying to elect a speaker after two weeks without one. Were also one month from a potential Government Shutdown. The chaos on capitol hill has stalled any attempt at congressional funding for the middle east or ukraine or anything else the federal government might want to deal with, while republicans try to get their act together. Earlier today, jim jordan fell short of the 217 vot
