billion by the end of the week, as speaker johnson is now er promising, that will make a big difference right now. ukrainians are having a hard in time just fighting back because they don t have ammunition. they don t have the basics to fight their war against the russians. they need assistance and the $60 billion, obviously, is a big, big ticket for them. so in that sense, obviously, a war in gaza, a war with iran is prompted, the republicans in ed the house, to finally get going with the security measures. it might not work out best for putin but he is more happy for the united states to be drawn into a middle east war where he thinks that we will therefore not be as focused on his actions in europe. general, as peter said, the white house, president biden does have his hands full, what could this escalation mean going forward for the relationship between president biden and prime minister netanyahu? obviously, there is a major threat to the region of war unbounded, taking place
netanyahu, specifically the fact that he doesn t believe in a two state solution like the united states does, like president biden does, that is in direct conflict with our values. and if that broadens the conflict and puts the american men and women at risk, that is when congress really has to speak out. so we re trying to warn the president and ask him to be more engaged on this. congressman, i thank you very much for being with us. appreciate your time. thank you. and we re staying on capitol hill where we have breaking news. julie circa is joining us. the house speaker just spoke? reporter: that s right. good to be with you. he made a very short statement before a few of us in the press. he essentially said that he is sticking with the agreement he met with chuck schumer, this is after he met with various swathes of republicans in his congress. just this morning he again was meeting with members of the far

johnson and the tenure of liz liz truss, that was a fiasco, everything is a farce. he inherited a difficult situation and momentum is behind the labor opposition party and he has a lot to do, he has problem. you think president biden does, so does the u.k. prime minister. he is very smart and eloquent and conducts himself a lot better than boris johnson did with his chaos, difficult position no question. ainsley: this is the third one. piers: there will be election within the next two years, the labor party will wen, that is standard in polling. we know how a week can be a long time. a week ago, they had not found bags of coin cain the white house. brian: good old days, is
