can i ask you one final question, on the original question i had about the dinner on january 27, with james comey, the president wasn t clear during the nabs interview, who invited the fbi director to the white house at that time. how many invitations did the white house send to director james comey after january 20th, and before the director was fired? i don t know. i ll try to get back to you. katie? thank you. i have a question on the president s visit next week. he recently called, called for muslims to rush the temple mount. considering the president has been a mediator, what is the response to that? and then i have another question. i think what you have seen with the president s meeting with these leaders, is he engages privately, and to a degree, a large degree he s been able to achieve great success. whether hagazi, working behind the scenes, whether it s the
came on fox & friends. trying to stop the v.a. being held accountable, he and his group concerned veterans for america have been under attack by american federation of government employees. this hegseth group the driving force behind efforts to dismantle the v.a. healthcare system. seems only to be concerned with promoting the koch brothers radical coke broirs agenda in washington d.c. blah blah blah, pete hegseth concerned veterans of america. good morning pete. good morning tucker. just some background for our viewers who weren t up to date on our story. the va accountability act was a bill designed to let the people who run the veterans administration fire incompetent employees. very hard to do that and afscme is against that because it threatens their power base. what are they doing to stop that bill from being implemented. working behind the scenes democrat members to lock them in against the bill.
i mean, how disgusting is this that we can talk about going to war and fighting a war and we can t even protect those that have done that for us? and then we turn our backs and act like the state department has been doing things behind the scenes. i spoke to governor richardson today. he s, working behind the scenes but so far no one has been able to crack this nut. these talks should not end without americans coming home. i hope this message gets to the white house and the state department. thank you, montel williams, what a great cause. up next, the latest conspiracy theory from the right wing that the top democrat in the senate foreign relations committee was indicted today on corruption charges because he disagrees with the president on iran. nonsense. they say it s payback but how come the corruption charges were all out in the air long before there was this disagreement over iran? this is nonsense. this corruption charge is not. you re watching hardball, the place for pol

action on the part of the israels. the israel cabinet in emergency session, just wrapped up a meeting in tel aviv. now the prime minister is back, i hear, in jerusalem. and they seem to be gearing up for some limited ground operations, going after certain tunnels, underground bunkers in northern gaza. they ve distributed leaflets and told palestinians in northern gaza and elsewhere in gaza, as well, get ready and move out of these areas. i do anticipate, there will be some heightened military activity in the coming days. although, behind the scenes, there are still efforts underway to try to convince hamas to go ahead and accept a cease-fire. i know the objections, the turks, the palestinian authority of president mahmoud abbas are all working behind the scenes to convince hamas to go along with a deal. they rejected it earlier today. we ll see what happens in the next few days. wolf blitzer, thank you. wolf is live in jerusalem tonight. i want to go to ben wedeman in gaza city. you
