Hi there, everyone. Its now 4 00 in new york. We have major developments both here in the u. S. And abroad. In just a few hours, President Joe Biden will deliver an address to the nation from the oval office about the hamas Terror Attacks in israel that killed more than 1,400 people as well as the ongoing war in ukraine. It is his second address from the oval office since becoming president , and it is part of his push for a 100 billion aid package. Well have much more on that later in the broadcast, but we begin with the dam breaking and perhaps the most criminal prosecution of the expresident s alleged criminal enterprise, that plot to overturn the 2020 election. This morning in a courthouse in atlanta, georgia, trumps attorney, peddler of the big lie and importantly trumps codefendant Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to six Misdemeanor Counts in that sprawling rico case brought by Fulton County District Attorney fani willis. Here is that moment. How do you plead to five counts of conspi
Thats what u. S. Bank is for. Huge relief. Yeah. Good morning. 11 00 a. M. Eastern, 8 00 a. M. Pacific. Im jose diazbalart alongside my friend and colleague ana cabrera for a second hour of Special Coverage. Were following two major stories this morning. And right now the fate of the House Of Representatives is up for grabs with another vote to decide the next speaker of the house. Beginning any moment now, we have live pictures of the house floor we want to show you, where jim jordan is trying to convince a group of holdouts to cast their vote for him after his attempts to secure the speakership yesterday ended in failure. 20 republicans voted for someone else. This is all happening as President Biden is wrapping up his visit to israel to show the United States support among israels war with hamas. Were also keeping an eye on beirut, lebanon, where a scene of protests and some violence is playing out as propalestinian protesters gather outside the u. S. Embassy in the lebanese capital
Joining me this hour. Tonight, President Biden is on his way to israel, in a show of support. And israel did everything it can to minimize civilian casualties. But just in a few hours since that trip was announced bidens task has become considerably more difficult. The major summit focus on the humanitarian crisis is now canceled. Last night after secretary of state Antony Blinken announced the president s visit, israel continue to launch air strikes into Southern Gaza. Im mentioning Southern Gaza in particular, because late hayes 5 last wee israel issued an Evacuation Order for all civilians in the northern half of gaza. And Hundreds Of Thousands of gazans complied. The Hamas Run Interior Ministry of gaza claims the airstrikes last night, in this morning, in Southern Gaza, killed 80 people and wounded dozens more. The New York Times asked an Israeli Military spokesperson, why israel continue to strike Southern Gaza after calling for people to evacuate their. The spokesperson responded
Live pictures right now in tel aviv where any moment we expect to see the president. Indeed, the president and also the Secretary Of State tony blinken who has been with the president on this trip. Hes actually been crisscrossing the middle east for days now. The president is expected to speak any minute now. When he does, we will bring those words to you. He just met with israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this morning. He has been meeting with even the war cabinet there in israel as well as First Responders and Family Members of victims of that horrific attack on october 7th, and those Family Members also wondering whats happening with members who are still missing. The president is now literally in a war zone thrown into fresh turmoil by the deadly blast at a gaza hospital. Hundreds reportedly killed. Hamas blames israel, israel blames another militant group, Islamic Jihad. Protests erupting across the middle east, a large crowd of Palestinian Protesters gathering this mornin
The honorable Hakeem Jeffries of the state of new york has received 212. John boehner of The State Of Ohio Has received one. Look at that smile. Its going about that way. Democrats totally united while republicans are Casting Protest Votes with the speaker. And tonight, the nomination of the unqualified jim jordan is circling the drain. My friend and colleague Rachel Maddow joins me right here on that embarrassing spectacle. Her new book, prequel, American Fight Against Fascism and so much more. But we begin tonight with the profound difference between the normal way of becoming House Speaker and what jim jordan is doing. Using maga tactics to threaten his way into the speakers office. It has been 15 days since Kevin Mccarthy was deposed by his partys maga wing and jim jordan is still trying to fill his tiny, tiny little shoes. But here is the thing, House Speakers, at least the recent ones, get the job in very traditional ways, by building relationships, rising through the ranks, with
