Brutal. Some of what youll see tonight is tough to watch, but it is for now, the most complete look at what took place that weve reported so far. It was 6 00 a. M. On saturday morning, october 7th. The sun was rising over southern israel. I was standing with a friend, and we looked together at the sunrise. I told her, look how beautiful she is. What a magical sunrise. What a magical day. Thousands of young people had been partying through the night at the super nova festival, a trans music rave. I made a video on my social of minutes before the attack. And the crowd goes crazy raving. I have been at a lot of festivals. One of the best ones. So, before the attack. After analyzing dozens of videos. They started shooting us.

While you feel that rage. Dont be consumed by it. One all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. Today, republican congressman jim jordan of ohio is even further from being speaker of the house than he was yesterday. In a second floor vote, jordan ended up with 199 supporters, a net loss from yesterdays tally, as paul cain of the Washington Post noted, jordan sent a modern record. Nice work, jim. Earning the lowest vote tally for a majoritys nominee to be speaker. Now, jordan did pick up three new supporters today, but he lost four members who flipped away from him this time around.

So, the congressman from ohio has a lot of work ahead of him if hes going to convert enough votes to win the gavel. Jordan is not giving up.

Tonight, the excruciating failure of the maga candidate, the democratic push for a bipartisan solution, and what we know about a timeline for a resolution.

And tensions soar in The Middle East after that deadly hospital blast. There is new hope for humanitarian aid flowing into gaza, as the president meets with families of hostages in israel. The call for caution continues. Justice must be done. While you feel that rage. Dont be consumed by it. One all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes.
