5:02 am
ah voting will resume on wednesday for new speak. when the u. s. house of representatives are to 3 failed attempts. republican leader kevin mccarthy has become the 1st nominee in a 100 years not to get enough votes from his own party in the 1st round. he's been blocked by a handful of more conservative republicans. house can't begin sitting until a speaker is chosen from hendrick reports from capitol hill in washington, dc. something it hasn't happened in a century, haven't they went to a valid one. they went to a valid to, they went to ballot 3. he had 4 votes that he could afford to lose among republicans on the 1st 2, we lost 1900. on the 3rd, he was 20, so the trend was not going well for him. so the republicans decided to adjourn regroup. there will likely be some arm twisting some inducements offered, but the opposition came from members of the freedom class. this is a conservative,
5:03 am
fiscally conservative and sort of pro donald trump wing of the party. and they wanted a number of things they wanted to weaken the speakership. they got kevin mccarthy to agree that he would allow 5 people just 5 people to band together. and that would trigger a call for a vote to remove this speaker that would substantially weaken his position. nancy pelosi didn't have that to contend with the democratic speaker. and then they said no. in fact, we want just one member of congress to be able to do that. they also asked for a number of committee assignments in the end, neither side his move significantly so overnight there may be some inducements offered, but as it is right now, they're at an impasse and it doesn't seem to be going either way at all, but they've got a long way to go until they hit the record in $1855.00 to $6.00. it took 2 minutes in a $133.00 ballots in order to decide the speakership. but also,
5:04 am
franco is republican strategist. he says a fractures in the party have been building to this for years. there are 2 republican parties. one is an establishment party mccarthy's part of that is conservative. donald trump, president trump supports kevin mccarthy for the speakership, and the vast majority of republicans beyond that freedom cock a support president, trump. but it has to do with a faction that's been really building since 2010 in the united states was called the tea party initially. and then it became as freedom caucus, other anti establishment there, sort of the trump brand. of course, they are the people that want to change washington dc including the republican party. so there is the rub. in 2015, kevin mccarthy sought the speakership and was actually turned back of at that time as a viable candidate by the same block. this that view him as an establishment republican . the problem here, it's 5 votes and there are at least 2025 members that are really anti establishment
5:05 am
republicans. what's unprecedented though is the following. for my time in the house of representatives, i worked there when we had a 6 seat majority very similarly to this situation. but the conference itself really, the republican members met privately, 85 percent of them support kevin mccarthy. and 20 years ago, there were viable candidates that were of buying for the speakership before denny hastert was selected. and there was a respect for the majority. what's happened and changed in the last 1015 years is this small faction just doesn't care about the republican party. they care about their cause, and they're holding the speakership hostage. we will see scenarios similar to this on the debt ceiling on major preparations, bills, defense spending, things of that kind were 5 members, can create enormous chaos in the house. and eventually what this might lead to, ironically is
5:06 am
a coalition between democrats and more moderate republicans. ah, and that would make to the republican bran is really far right minister. it's a mark then to this intrusion into the alex. so most compound has been called deeply provocative palestinians. and several muslim countries condemned the move. so higher reports from occupied the easter whistling. it was a quick incursion into alex, almost compound under heavy israeli security. it happened in the early hours of tuesday, followed by a quick exit. a calculated intrusion with its em are been given, making a statement on this issue just days into being sworn in as israel's new national security minister syllabus low. because our government will not surrender to the threats of how much of the temple mount is the most important place for the people of israel by and we maintained a freedom of movement for muslims and christians, but the jews, god will also go. and those who make credit must be dealt with with an iron fist

5:08 am
a religious war in the region. and this statement from israeli opposition leader and former prime minister a i la p, describing the intrusion as a politically or a sponsible decision. and showing incredible weakness from netanyahu in front of his ministers bought there was no mention of the incident in the government says cabinet meeting. while the prime minister's office released the statement saying benjamin netanyahu is committed to the status quo. and ox, almost called pound is a sad holy site from a sense, but it's also revered by jews under the rules of the muslim worship is allowed, palestinians are concerned that been given incursion, to set a precedent for israel's new administration. the new ultra orthodox and right wing government has promised to expand illegal settlements in the occupied west bank. where on tuesdays rady forces carried out several raids as refugee camp near bethlehem, killing 15 year old palestinian as m i. yeah. during confrontations. bringing this year's palestinian death toll to 3. this rate is the latest in

5:10 am
a precedent for this. he was referring to the year 2000 when ariel sharon, than the leader of the opposition went onto the access compound that resulted in the 2nd intifada, which lost it from 2000 to 2006 net price, making direct reference to that in his comments about the unacceptable lety of this . clearly they are going to be words spoken with the israeli administration. also of great concern to the biden administration is the fact that it would appear that the new israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu did give the go ahead for this because reports indicate that he met to this national security minister in the course of monday. now the national security minister and ben gear has been visited the alex a mosque several times since he was elected to parliament back in 2021. but now his status as national security minister gives this an added impact and certainly great concern within the bite and administration,
