voting for kevin mccarthy, or these never mccarthy members, the hard five or six, what s the personal conflict they have? i don t know their issues specifically. i will say that it is few of those 20245 that really have personal conflicts but the majority are really policies. they want changes to the way that we do appropriations. they want changes to the rules. and that s why the negotiations are continuing. and i do think at the end of the day, that there is a deal to be cut and we can get this plane land and get the speaker elected in the next day or so. one of the changes that is being demanded by one of the holdouts is a vote on term limits. how do you feel about a vote on term limits for congress men and women? that is something that i think has been discussed quite a bit over the last several years. i believe that we should have a vote on it. and the question would be, is the senate even willing to take that up? and i don t think they are. even if they re not, would you

let s get to san antonio with rosa flores. what a day, a moment to be there. reporter: absolutely. there was no big public spec spectacle, no fanfare to welcome brittney griner to the united states. what we could see from the ground is her plane land here at kelly field in san antonio and then she walked off the plane and into a hangar, those were her first steps as a free american on u.s. soil. brittney griner is finally home. the wnba star landed in san antonio early this morning after nearly 10 months detained in russia. the most important emotion i have is sincere gratitude. griner is returning home to her family, teammates and a legion of supportive fans. we love you and we are here for you. we know that the journey that has she has just experienced was a difficult one but we re here to walk with her step by step.
our cameras were rolling. you could look on your screen and see that moment. there was no big spectacle, no big fanfare. what we saw was the plane land, some officials get on the plane, and then brittney griner moments later walk off that plane and get into walk into a hangar. now those were her first steps as a free american on u.s. soil. now i just received a statement from brooke army medical center and they say that the standard protocol was for her to be transferred to book army medical center. so that is most likely what happened right after the shots that you see of brittney griner walking into that hangar. now, according to brooke army medical center, this is a standard protocol for her to go there for a medical eval euatio and then they don t release any more information because of privacy reasons. which is very understandable. but bianna, you and i have
sandra, we ask the question how long will she stay and what will the chinese do while she is there and after she leaves taipei? dan hoffman is back with us. there is one report a moment ago translated from german that chinese su35 fighter aircraft said to be flying across the taiwan strait. wouldn t be the first time. get your general reaction if this is confirmed in time. chinese aircraft have been flying combat missions at really heightened rate over this past year. i would emphasize that it is good to see that plane land in taiwan. we should never allow china to exercise any sort of command and control over u.s. senior officials and their travel overseas. had we done that, that would have been a gross example of apiecement which is never good when you deal with a dictatorship. i think right now there is no
