breaking news at the top of the. our united states forces announced it conducted several strikes yesterday, strikes against targets in hutu- controlled areas of yemen. united states central command says they were in self-defense and targeting unmanned vessels at multiple missiles in the red sea. this happens we captured the united states announced a weeklong campaign against iran- backed militias in the region. we want to switch to the united states senate, a package would aid for taiwan but we re here still, michael steele is not serious when he said he was running for the rnc chair. and we have thoughts about this package. it did clear a major procedural hurdle last night with 64 senators voting to advance it. but still faces a number of uphill battles before that can be a final floor vote. it also comes just days after senate republicans blocked a different aid bill. that bill had major concessions from democrats within the senate on the southern border. joining us now i
