It is contingent upon how many people vote to a candidate by name. The number goes up and down depending on how many people are on the floor. During the weekend you have people go away. So maybe there would be a path for jim jordan to be elected if just the right number of people go away on the democratic side of the aisle. Hakeem jeffries said well have all our people here. The flip side of that. There is a danger for jim jordan if he forces these votes and just enough republicans disappear on that side of the aisle or people who support him because then you could be in a scenario where they do, in fact, elect Hakeem Jeffries if just the right mixture of people goes away. If they do that, as they say in the movies, they play a very dangerous game, mr. Bond. So this is kind of where we are right now. Republicans right now who are trying to figure out which is the direction to go. They dont know if they want to maybe put a resolution on the floor to empower Patrick Mchenry. Right now jim jordan does not have the votes. They will have the third Roll Call Vote in a few minutes. Last night we talked to john ruther ford, an opponent of jim jordan and he is locked in. Listen. This is not leadership when he expelled steve scalise. That was pretty much everybodys opinion. Did he say he is still running . He said he has apologized for that. But look, apologies are fine and accepted but you still have to have accountability. This is where you have republicans like Carlos Jimenez also opposed to jim jordan saying this conversation is over. There is nothing they can offer us. I was told there was anger during that conversation but jim jordan is determined to stay in the race. Listen to what he said this morning. You all said we would lose between the first and second vote and said we would lose 10 to 15 votes. We picked up a view, lost a few. I think the ones we lost can come back. Multiple rounds of votes for speaker before. We all know that. I just know that we need to get a speaker as soon as possible so we can get to work for the American People. Jim jordan did himself no favors in that meeting last night trying to get some of those folks to come his way. The other problem is that you had these members who are very upset about the threats their families have gotten and this is what i alluded to a few minutes ago where scott perry, a jim jordan ally was at that Press Conference, did not speak and standing in the back of the room and down played some of these death threats. Listen. All of us in congress receive death threats. I dont know if thats a news flash for anybody here. People in the world dislike and threaten us. Nothing new to any member of congress. Thats a red herring. Right now jim jordan can only lose four votes. The last voted on wednesday and lost 22. He only lost 20 on tuesday. So this will be the first vote since then and we are told those numbers should go up. We do know that one jim jordan ally is not here today already, a republican from wisconsin. He announced he is traveling to israel for a fact finding mission. This is why that number always toggles back and forth and always about the math. Shannon as you said with the quorum calls. They could run the risk of electing Hakeem Jeffries. Matt gaetz didnt want that when he pulled the motion to vacate. What is that faction now saying about where they are and who they could agree on with moderates . He said that essentially. This is where you have had a lot of people come back and say maybe we need to move this resolution to empower Patrick Mchenry. You are right matt gaetz and others didnt seem to have a plan who they could arrive on and elect as speaker to empower the house and make the house operational. The house cant vote on anything right now. Funding the government in four weeks here trying to deal with this aid package to israel and ukraine that the president announced last night. So this plan that jim jordan was for for five minutes yesterday would be to vote to empower Patrick Mchenry, elect him as the speaker pro tem and then the house can go about its business. It has been in that position before. This happened back in the early 1960s when sam rayburn, the House Speaker fell ill and what they did they first appointed somebody the Acting Speaker and elected John Mccormick of massachusetts, the speaker pro tem and the house throughout the fall continued to do business including passing the piece of legislation for president kennedys peace corp came through that. A major piece of legislation and passed with a speaker proper team. This is someone elected by the house versus just appointed by the house. The status that mchenry is in now. You might have heard the buzzers going off. Thats signaling the House Of Representatives is coming into session and going through the pledge of allegiance, prayer right now. Housekeeping and then theyll go into an actual live quorum to determine how many people are here. Thats the universe of votes. We know the house has 433 members. Well see what the magic number is based on how many people report to the vote. Shannon chad, thank you very much. Well stay tuned to what you have to say. Gillian lets bring in dan crenshaw, republican who serves on the Intelligence Committee and former navy seal. Congressman, which way do you think this third round vote on jim jordan is going to go this morning . Its not going to get better. So you played some comments down playing the threats against these members. Everybody gets threats. Nobody has been a target of crazy online backlash like me. Im like click bait for people and get a tshirt that says click bait. This stuff is different. What im seeing against these members and their families and the things being said by right wingers, thats different. So this is the problem. Ive said this a week and a half ago that if jim jordans allies went down this path he wouldnt become speaker. They would entrench opposition. Theyre not moving. Thats the facts. Ill vote for jim jordan on this third round because i am a stickler for process. He won the majority, vote for him as long as he is running but the facts arent changing. People should understand the facts arent changing. Trying to push us into the weekend and force votes and this is going to fake nobility of getting the job done will backfire. I want people to understand, too, sitting around the room up here arguing about who is the most popular is not working for the American People. I dont like it when people come on fox and say we have to get the work done. Thats not work. I want to remind my fellow legislators that work up here is your committee work. Its legislating. Writing bills. You need somebody in the chair to bring bills to the floor. Thats the actual work for the American People. Too many have forgotten that. We do need to get back to work but not the kind of work some of these folks are saying. I was in favor of the temporary empowerment. Jim jordan was in favor of that. You need someone to bring bills to the floor. We need a reset. Stop yelling at each other for a little while and see who can consolidate some support. It doesnt have to be this hair on fire type of conversation, which is what were engaging in at the moment. The real work is the legislation and no reason why we cant keep doing that. Shannon that mchenry plan stalled yesterday. If the jordan vote fails again well see if it is resurrected. This is all against the back drop of serious domestic and Foreign Policy issues. I want to read Something Like tom cotton. He says this. There have been multiple attacks against americans by irans proxies in the last few days. Biden must warn iran any attacks by its proxies as americans will be treated as a direct attack by iran against the u. S. And met with massive retaliation. Where are you on exactly what this Administration Needs to be signaling to iran at this moment . You could have read my tweet. I think i tweeted something similar. I agree with senator cotton on this. There needs to be very clear consequences laid out for iran and hezbollah. People dont understand this because they are very uncomfortable with the concept. If you want to prevent war you have to threaten it credibly. It takes statements that make people uncomfortable. President trump did this all the time. He had an intuition for what deterrence was. President biden whispering dont do it into the microphone is not effective. There needs to be clearer statements. I appreciate them moving the Carrier Group into the eastern mediterranean. You need very clear statements that say there will be retaliation. Whats happening right now is iran and hezbollah are actively in the Decision Making process about whether they will open up that multifront war. They have always talked about this war to end all wars. The final war against israel. It may not have been expecting it to turn out like this but actively making that decision. It will be dependent what they think will happen to them in return. If you want to prevent war you have to make it clear you are willing to beat the crap out of your enemies if they try something. Shannon Senator Graham is saying well tell iran well physically strike at your oil manufacturing, those kinds of things. Are you talking about physical strikes within the borders of iran . If they invade israel. If they do direct attacks on israel. If they do that, now you have an a threat against israel. Absolutely yes, President Biden needs to put it on the table that there could be physical strikes in iran if they do physical strikes inside israel. If they are threatening the existence of israel that has to be on the table. We have to be saying that. Us saying that is what prevents it from happening. People have to understand that. Shannon okay. You mentioned the Carrier Groups and what we have in the region there. We think more broadly about the Drone Attacks are the things that have come on where we have u. S. Troops in uniform on the ground. Do you equate that with irans if they had a direct attack on israel or, you know, the proxies, the strikes at u. S. Interests. Where does that fall in categorizing us pushing back and taking action physically against iran . It wouldnt fall in the same category necessarily. Where were at now is what theyre doing is testing us. They are testing us and what well say. So clarity from the president is paramount here. Congressmen and senators can say what theyll say and give an indication what we would vote for, but the president needs to be very clear. When its titfortat surrogate warfare which is what iran has been doing forever. Launch rockets, iranian backed militias in iraq. Weve dealt with it before. It would be different if they opened up a multifront war against israel. That threatens the existence of the jewish state. We have to be clear about the differences. Shannon we appreciate your time. Good luck in finding resolution, getting things back to work in congress for the American People and as always we thank you for your service in this country on multiple fronts in many different ways. Thank you, sir. Thanks. Shannon they have to get things resolved. Thats a conversation like a broken record were saying over and over again to move legislation. You heard congressman there say its if you can get a framework in place to do legislation. If it involves mchenry have some kind of Powers Equating to speaker people seem open to that but clearly folks opposed. Gillian if you pan out wider you see it is very difficult for the u. S. To project strength abroad helping to deter this israel gaza conflict from becoming a middle east war, it is hard to project strength in support of ukraine when our own House Of Cards is not at order here at home. Shannon does it magically get in order in the next two hours . Gillian a lot of hope but no chance. Shannon were pulling for the resolution. Gillian israels military leaders ordering troops to be ready for a Ground Invasion to gaza that could happen at any moment as israel continues to pummel hamas targets from the air. Trey yengst joins us on the ground in Southern Israel. Tell us what you are hearing and seeing this hour. Absolutely. We just saw new rocket fire from the northern part of the gaza strip targeting Southern Israel. The israelis are responding with tank fire and air strikes. I will step out of the frame so you can have a look inside gaza. Cameraman will zoom in here and see the black smoke rising. Sunset is in an hour and the fighting continues here in Southern Israel. We also have images from deep inside gaza. Our cameras were able to zoom in earlier today looking at some of that destruction along the border between israel and gaza. All of this is taking place as the Northern Front heats up as well. Thousands of israeli troops in the house here anticipating what comes next an expected Ground Operation in the coming hours or days. I want you to listen to israels Defense Minister who spoke earlier today at the meeting where he talked about how long this expected operation will take. We reached the point that there is a completely different Security Regime here. We have complete Freedom Of Action and that there is no threat from within the this will not take a day nor a week. Unfortunately not a month. Not a month. Thats what were hearing from top colonels on the ground in Southern Israel saying it will take months to complete. They have a threestep idea how it will get done. Ultimately entering gaza rile air strikes continue and limited operations inside to get different islamic and hamas cells and pass over leadership to the egyptians or palestinian authority. Israel has made clear they dont want to occupy gaza for the long term. It would make it challenging for the israelis. The countrys Defense Minister saying it will likely take months. Back to you. Gillian trey yengst in israel. Shannon israel bolstering defenses on its northern border with lebanon in response to the rocket fire from hezbollah. Concerns are growing that a potential second front could open up against hamas. Greg palkot is live in Northern Israel for that part of the story. Hello, greg. Shannon, yeah, it has been a very active border here as hezbollah and other groups test israel from next door lebanon behind me two miles. We have been hearing a lot of drones overhead and a lot of outgoing israeli artillery headed towards lebanon. One side there were militant mortars and missiles hitting one town. They were taken out. Another side an israeli drone targeted three hezbollah militants trying to make their way over. Right here earlier there are a few clashes as well. Look at what we saw and what we heard. Here in the israel lebanon border town, authorities are telling people to leave. Terror is creeping in on all sides. Yesterday saw six militant rockets rain down on the town. There was a militant that injured an israeli soldier. The uptick in activity up here is about the invasion down south. I recommend all people leave this town. Get out fast, not take a risk. We have in the war area a lot of bombs, a lot of terror attacks. A lot of bombs and a lot of terror attacks, shannon. The mayor told us one other thing saying we arent fighting hezbollah, were not fighting hamas, were fighting iran. The big brother to both groups and more who could be calling the shots up here. Back to you. Shannon greg palkot at the northern border of israel. Thank you very much. [sirens] shannon israeli groups getting green light. Military planes getting final approve all as the Prime Minister warns this will be a very long war. Gillian a group of volunteers from texas are on the ground in israel providing thousands of meals to people affected by the hamas attacks. Shannon keeping an eye on action in the house. Will there be action as they get ready for a third vote on jim jordans bid to become the next speaker . We have a Speaker Designee who has been nominated by our conference. He has gotten the most votes and they are coming up with these petty answers for why they are voting no. Some lenders charge hundreds upfront for your appraisal and other fees. Not at newday.
