Have the very latest on what has been happening overseas as the siege in gaza and in israel continues at this hour. I want to share just a bit of the news that weve been able to get israel pounding gaza city this morning. The barrage of airstrikes coming as Hundreds Of Thousands of israeli troops amass at the border for the Israeli Military says they havent exactly decided on a Ground Incursion into gaza yet. However, they are preparing for it. Meantime the Us Government maintaining it will stand with israel as it strikes back against hamas, who infiltrated israel over the weekend. And more than 1200 israelis are confirmed dead at this hour. 22 american citizens also confirmed dead and 17 others remain missing. The us has sent munitions to israel as well as moved ships from the navys uss Gerald R Ford Carrier Strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean sea. President biden and congress grappling now with how best to help israel as the conflict in the middle east grows. Meantime, a Bipart
pass or china a free pass but to be engaged means to continue to talk. we did throughout the cold war and would be a big mistake not to do it again. governor walker, senator paul seems to think canceling the state dinner would be rash and reckless. two parts. one back on iran. when it comes to china why would we give an official state visit to a country that s been involved in a massive cyber attack on the united states? that s not just a visit but 21-gun solute. if we sent a message, wouldn t this be the time they issue a massive attack against us? jake, per the question, i was one of the first ones to call for terminating the bad deal with iran on day one. the president came after me and said i need to bone up. the president that called isis the jv squad said i need to bone up. bad deal on day one because this president allowed iran to get closer and closer. i would love to play cards with this guy because barack obama folds on everything with iran. we need a leader who s going t
stand up and predict this country. i can t wait to stand on that debate stage with hillary clinton and make abundantly clear if you vote for hillary, you re voting for the ayatollah to possess a nuclear weapon and if you elect me as president under no circumstances will a theocratic ayatollah who chants death to america ever be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. thank you, senator. we re going to go to dana bash. i want to say something about what the senator just said. then it will be why turn. let me suggest to you, we believe that we operate better in the world when our allies work with us. president bush did it in the gulf war. we work better when we are unified. secondly, nobody s trusting iran. they violate the deal, we put on the sanctions, we have the high moral ground to talk to our allies in europe. to get them to go with us. if they don t go with us, we slap the sanctions on anyway. if they fund the radical groups
