Antiisrael protest go on at Columbia University one day after more than 100 were arrested there. Well bring you there. Silence from the white house following israels overnight strike against iran. Go to the region and the white house for that and whatever happened to the investigation into the 2021 pipe bombs. The democratic and republican headquarters. Lawmakers facing deadlines for key legislation and the Republican House speaker needs help from rival democrats to keep the process on track and his job intact chad pergram starts us off tonight on capitol hill. Bret, the house passed a test vote to tee up the aid package for a vote tomorrow. But it was also a test for House Speaker mike johnson. Democrats may be willing to help the speaker keep his job.
