Invade from the south of gaza. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu receiving permission from his parliament to dispatch up to 40,000 Ground Troops for calling a Ground Invasion into gaza, quote, on the table. And public bomb shelters have been open throughout the jewish state. Well be following this developing story throughout this hour. Turning now to the humanitarian crisis on our southern border, the white house efforts to politically exploit the estimated 60,000 children who have illegally crossed our boarder this year appear to have backfired on the administration. Democrats and republicans alike blasting president obama for planned trip to texas tomorrow. The white house saying at this hour that he will not visit the border nor the facilities overflowing with illegal immigrant children. Instead, president obama will be spending his time fundraising in dallas and austin. Here is press secretary josh earnest trying to spin away the president s seemingly ambivalent attitude about the
Yeah. Apparently i already went down the super slide. I was scared half to death. Apparently the dad was pulling on the shirt there. Apparently thats it. Do you want to know who is to blame for the washington gridlock senator rand paul says he knows. The senate of washington is run by harry reid. The republicans get nothing, no idea. No representative of the u. S. Senate. Even though you have a great senator in senator grassley, he doesnt get any ideas into law now, none, zero. Why . Because theyre afraid. Theyre afraid of having people speak. Right now senator rand paul is in iowa. He pulled over on the side of the field in a cornfield. Hi, senator. Hi, greta, thanks for having me. I should note over the
weekend the New York Times says harry reid is not putting bills on the floor. Apparently they agree with you. But why do the Democratic Senators not want to vote . They can win. Theyve got the numbers on all the votes. Well, they can win electorally, you know, in the senate, but theyr
Repeating since last week options are being discussed. Now we know a little bit more about their thinking and what went on in that meeting with congressional leaders, an hour long closeddoor discussion. Now we know some top officials think that the iraqi Prime Minister has to go. Are we any closer to hearing a decision . Maybe. Americas four top lawmakers called to the white house on one of the several decisions facing this country now, what to do or not about iraq. But this was not, it turns out, a session for the president to lay each option on the table and start choosing but more an assessment. Nancy pelosi called it informative, interesting. Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell less enthused. The president briefed us on the approach hes taking towards developing a strategy. On a day that one analyst called iraq the start of the possibly the worst of both worlds, a deep division into two terror states, one dominated by al qaeda and the other by iran. The administration had to gra
Weekend the New York Times says harry reid is not putting bills on the floor. Apparently they agree with you. But why do the Democratic Senators not want to vote . They can win. Theyve got the numbers on all the votes. Well, they can win electorally, you know, in the senate, but theyre worried about the election and theyre worry thad the people wont like the way theyre voting which sound as little bit like, you know, theyre really embarrassed of their philosophy. But really for about a year, they have given up on voting in the senate. Nothing really of substance has happened in a year, maybe two years. They dont allow any amendments from republicans. They dont want the give and take or any bipartisanship because theyre petrified because republicans might have them vote on a gun issue or some kind of issue that southern democrats dont want to vote on. Do you get no sense that senator harry reid has any sort of guilty conscience in the sense that at least things should be voted on as par
