Ill talk to former Prime Minister ehud barack who is one of the most decorated soerms.

A live report from cairo as humanitarian workers warn that the main hospital on the strip wont have electricity for much longer. At this minute, House Republicans just started huddling Behind Closed Doors after a short time ago, jim jordan failed for a third time to lockdown the votes to be speaker.
