State in the u. S. Capitol. We havent seen anything like this since 1998. Officer sicknick, his family had him cremated. His remains are on the table next to a flag commemorating his service. His family is there. Its a good thing, chris, we havent seen anything like this since and we shouldnt be watching it now. As i was listening to you on the way here, hearing an officer die in the line of duty because of an insurrection on capitol hill was just mind boggling to even fathom. Members of the Law Enforcement community were supposed to start their visitation, and thats what theyre doing now, 10 00 p. M. I imagine the president of the United States will be along soon. He arrived we watched the motorcade bringing him in from the white house. Hes not in yet. He hasnt visited. No, he has not visited but we saw the motorcade. I have been receiving word from Law Enforcement, Law Enforcement with Capitol Police and surrounding police departments, and they are actually happy that we are carrying
hunter biden on capitol hill, pushing back on house republicans aiming to hold him in contempt of congress and calling him out from the committee room. coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed, what are you afraid of? you have no balls. five days from the iowa caucuses, with front-runner donald trump going from the courtroom to the campaign trail and back again to potentially speak at his civil fraud trial tomorrow during closing arguments. all as ron desantis and nikki haley go head to head in a gop debate tonight. and our andrea mitchell joining us from tel aviv this hour, with more of her exclusive interview with secretary of state antony blinken. with 90% of gaza s population struggling for food and growing concerns of a broadening conflict. it is 11:00 eastern, i m ana cabrera reporting from new york. thank you so much for being here. jose diaz-balart will be up next hour. we begin with breaking news
very fast moving developments. first, the u.s. fighter jets striking an iranian weapons storage facility in syria again. the growing call to respond harder to 46 iranian sponsored attacks on u.s. soldiers. this time to expand the counter attacks, not to proxies of iran outside iran but iran inside and inside iran. we have knox team coverage on the growing iranian threat. jacqui heinrich on the u.s. ramping up their response to that threat and former defense secretary mark esper on if enough is being done to counter that threat. then joe manchin calls it quits. he s hinting he could be setting his sights on something a little higher. busy day, busy show and it all starts now. all right. welcome. i m neil cavuto. glad to have you. let s go to jennifer griffin at the pentagon on this precision air strike and what it might mean as to what comes next. jennifer? neil, a pair of american f-15s struck an iranian weapons storage facility. this is following 46 attacks on u.s. bases.
committee and between hunter biden. the committee wants to do it differently. they believe that this should happen first in a closed door long form deposition, without the spectacle that would come from a potential public hearing. and so that s why this showdown exists. to be clear, it is up to congress to set the rules for these investigations. it is normal practice in an investigation like this for there to be a closed door transcribed interview that would precede a public hearing. that is something that james comer said he would be willing to offer hunter biden if it got to that stage. but his attorneys believe this particular situation is too politically charged and any sort of conversation that happens behind closed doors, excerpts of it could be leaked out and used for political purposes against hunter biden and potentially of course his father, the president of the united states. the sum total of all of this is that the contempt resolution is likely to move forward, it will pass
the state and local level about the 2024 race. how prepare ready they? what did they say are their biggest concerns? thank you for having me on. it s my pleasure to be here. the unique thing is we are asking the election workers about their beliefs and attitudes towards their preparedness from a cybersecurity aspect for elections. one finding that we got is about half of the respondents said they are not prepared or only somewhat prepared to deal with cybersecurity incidents, to detect and respond to them, leading up to the election. this is not totally surprising given that in my work with state and local governments, they are often overburdened and overwhelmed, underfunded. it s something that gives us indication that there s significant room for improvement as we move toward the general election. you found that more than a third of local officials say their cybersecurity budget is inadequate to address their own concerns.
