go after the tax-exempt status of universities with pro-hamas rallies. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: okay, we're staying on this breaking news. protests at the capitol inside the rotunda as well. civil disorder impeding law enforcement, assault ising officers, loud, abusive language all mirroring protests at u.s. embassies in the middle east after that gaza hospital bombing. reports say it hit a parking lot. hamas offers no proof of an airstrike. there's no crater at that hospital. you would expect to see a crater from the a missile strike. plus, growing reports that hundreds of casualties, that number may be inflated. alex hogan live many in loan to bonn -- in london with the latest. good to see you. >> reporter: i think, liz.

really what we're seeing around the world protests not just around the middle east, but across the globe. and some of the most violent protests we've seen in the last 24 hours have been in lebanon. take a look at some of this footage from earlier in the day, not far from the u.s. embassy where security forces sprayed water and tear gas for the second day in a row to try to break up some of these crowds. the state department has green lighted the departure for non-essential u.s. workers and their families to leave this area. the state department also issued a level four do not travel advisory for americans to lebanon. all of this stems over anger from the blast on a gaza hospital that killed about 500 people. israeli officials say that it was a misfired islamic jihad rocket. hamas, however, points blame at israel, and that is the cause for all of this rage and these anti-israel protests that we've seen across the globe today including protests just like

this one earlier today in egypt. there were also demonstrations in jordan, yemen, tunisia. as far away as colombia, south korea and japan. and here in london today pro-palestinian demonstrate theres held a rally outside downing street. and on top of what you see here, they vow ised even larger demonstrations other the weekend. meanwhile, also in europe, in germany there was an attempted attack on a synagogue with people throwing molotov cocktails at it. german chancellor olaf schultz condemned that attack and any potential future attacks on jewish institutions. elizabeth: alex hogan, thank you so much. appreciate you. joining us now, the former commander of the uss cole kirk, he's keith lip old. kirk lippold. sorry about that. and a former member of israel's dehe's set. okay, let's get to -- knesset.

kirk, your reaction to the president and national security council saying military intelligence with, pentagon data show hamas is responsible for the bombing of the hospital in gaza? there's video of it too. what do you think? >> well, good evening, liz, and thank you for having me on. i think what this points out is the importance of information warfare in a dynamic environment like this. in any conflict, you're going to have people that are going to try to leverage the information to their advantage. the difference is hamas is a terrorist organization. they will always manipulate it is and lie to fit their purposes. governments have to verify the information to make sure that when they put it out, it is accurate, correct and verifiable. and that is exactly what the israelis and the united states have done. and all these other countries that don't want to pay attention to it, it is making them look like they're, in fact, terrorist supporters. elizabeth: let's get reaction to the israeli defense forces. you're going to hear the audio recording between two hamas terrorists taking responsibility.

let's listen to this, and then you'll hear the president. watch. [speaking in native tongue] >> i'm deeply saddened and outraged by the explosions at the hospital in gaza yesterday. and based on what i've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you.

elizabeth: what are you hearing? the audio indicates that the missile was shot from behind the hospital and then landed on the hospital. but we don't know. there was fuel tanks there, it could have been a fireball as well. no crater found. your reaction? >> i think the most important point for us to underscore, and there will be more casualtieses in this ongoing war, is that the fact that there's even a thought to blame the state of israel, the democratic state that has to defend its civilians rather than a genocidal terror organization that uses hue every -- human beings as pawns in this war in addition to the information war that was just spoken about. but but we know that there is ammunition and tunnels under hospitals, under schools, under mosques intentionally using human beings as human shields, cynically abusing the fact that the impossible would have happened, that hamas information would have been published, disseminated by mainstream media in what we think of as western

civilization. it's unfathomable. elizabeth: saw what cic -- michal just said,. rachel: shed da tlaib blamed and even threatened president biden over this saying many palestinian-americans like me will remember with where you stood. your take the on this. >> when you really look at it, it's a terrible tragedy because we now have united states congressmen and women that are supporting terrorist organizations. that is unacceptable in our country. the, they killed on october 7th thousands, or hundreds of israelis and brutalized a population. israel has a right to self-defense. the fact that these congressmen and women are saying these things indicates to me that they're going beyond what's necessary. they are now supporting terrorists, and they should be held accountable for it, the fact that they represent us is scary. elizabeth: i mean, the president, democrats and the media again talking a two-state solution, but hamas does not

want a two-state solution. its founding charter says it wants a to annihilate israel, is so how can you do a two-state solution with hamas? >> much like "mein kampf", the hamas charter you just referred to, indeed, calls for the annihilation of the state of israel and for the murder of jews. you cannot appease or negotiate with terror, and if hamas represents palestinians, palestinian leadership, then that is exactly and precisely why there can never be peace. and i would expect palestinian leadership like i would expect any other leadership to unequivocally condemn the atrocities, the war crimes, the murder, the bludgeoning, the rape, the burning babies of october 7th. anybody that cannot unequivocally condemn the atrocities worse than any attack on jews since the holocaust does not want peace and does not care for the palestinian civilians that are being used as human shields. all it wants is the destruction

of the state of israel and the murder of jews. elizabeth: thank you both so much. thanks for joining us. and now from senate armed services we're honored to have back on senator marsha blackburn. senator, you've been vocal, you've been very strong here, do you think that democrats have a hamas problem going into the election? your reaction to 14 # 9 democrats -- 149 democrats not signing the letter to the president condemning hamas and iran? show the viewers who they are. it includes nancy pelosi, hakeem jeffries, steny hoyer, eric swalwell, jerry nadler and bill pascrell. why wouldn't they sign a letter? >> i cannot imagine why they would not sign the the letter. in 1997 the united states of america deemed hamas as a terrorist organization. we have recognized hamas as terrorist organization since that time. we know that hamas is funded in large part by iran, that it's

the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. we know that they give hamas about $100 million a year, and they also supply training, different supplies, armor and things that they need to carry out their attacks. hamas is a proxy of iran. they use them to do the dirty work, basically. against their opponents and, of course, iran and hamas both say one of their goals is to eliminate israel. elizabeth: let's listen, let's get your reaction to far-left progressive congresswoman rashida tlaib at a pro-has ma -- hamas rally today. senator, let me back up. we did show footage of pro-hamas protesters marching through the capitol rotunda. there were arrests and protesters were detained. let's listen to this.

>> so we have to speak the truth. we've got to stop allowing people to police our words, to target what we say. i want him to know as a palestinian-american, as also minute of muslim faith, i'm -- somebody of muslim faith, i'm not going to forget this. and i think a lot of people are not going to forget this. [cheers and applause] and it's not, it's not, it's not threat. finish. elizabeth: okay. she's saying we're not going to forget what the president is doing. she's also saying we have to speak the truth, we have to stop letting people police our words, but he's not saying -- she's not saying what the reports from the pentagon and the national security council, the president said, the pentagon data that the show hamas is behind that missile strike or the bombing of that gaza a hospital. your reaction to this? >> yes, indeed. and she can decry this all she wants, but what we know now is that it was a misfired rocket from hamas, an islamic jihad

rocket that misfired, and what she should be doing is condemning all of these attacks and this death and destruction. but what you have from some of the democrats is that they have become hamas sympathizers. hamas is a terrorist group. hezbollah is a terrorist group. and we have people that are a member of the house now -- of the u.s. house now that are sympathizing with a terrorist group. maybe they should go to gaza and see what they can do. maybe they think they can negotiate their way out of this. but what we have learned is you cannot negotiate with these terrorist organizations. elizabeth: the senator leading the charge to toughen sanctions on iran which is behind what is going on with hamas, breaking news. the president is set to address the nation tomorrow night at

8:00. senator, a pleasure and an honor having you on. we welcome you coming back soon, we hope. >> uh-huh, thanks. elizabeth: joining us tonight, congressman bob good, congresswoman beth van duyne, congressman cory millses and former economic adviser to former president trump steve moore. media reporting of the israel-hamas conflict worsening the fog of war. outrage grows, outlets by msnbc, cnn quick to blame israel, the rush to judgment. they had no evidence of that,s that israel's behind the deadly gaza hospital bombing. plus, congressman bob good joins us. what is the way forward? jim jordan fails at a second vote to become house speaker, next on "the evening edit." ♪ ♪

support of roughly 200 members of the republican house. no other member has that level of support. he went from 99 votes against steve scalise a week ago to 124 votes when he was against austin scott to 152 votes this past friday to 200 on the house floor, and, of course, went to 199, a difference of 1 today. he unites the conference like no one else does and, frankly, i don't know why anyone would oppose him. whether folks agreed or disagreed, and most grassroots constituents did agree, but we were against kevin mccarthy neighbor months ago a. we were voting against the status quo, the establishment, the uniparty swamp. we were recognizing the failures of republicans in leadership from the past that we did not want to continue. i don't know what these individuals are voting against -- elizabeth: you don't know why? so sorry, you don't know why the 22 now oppose jim jordan? >> i don't know, perhaps you do and you can tell me. i don't know what their reason is. i haven't heard their reason. i don't know if it's just because of spite or hurt

feelings or whatever -- i haven't heard anything. frankly, i haven't heard them trying to sell it to the american people, why they don't think jim jordan should be speaker. i know they're hearing from their voters and grassroots supporters they should support jim jordan. elizabeth: so, you know, you know the issues, right? the border's in a state of collapse. we've got 20% compounded inflation. we've got now a cold war with china, proxy wars with russia, a approximate by -- proxy war with iran. there's talk of the break the glass move to calm the waters, leapt cooler heads prevail for a month and let speaker pro tem patrick mchenry get more power to run the body. but chip roy says, no, that's against the constitution. what do you think? >> yeah, that would be an a unconstitutional expansion of power and, secondly, the only way that patrick mchenry could take power that way would be if he made a deal with the democrats. the democrats voted 210-0 against kevin mccarthy. for what reason might they vote

for a republican speaker unless it was a power-sharing arrangement? that would be terrible for the country, terrible for the republican conference, terrible for those who voted and gave us the majority last november. what we need to do is elect jim jordan. we need to put pressure on those voting against him to allow us to move forward to support the party nominee who is the second most popular republican in the country, i would submit. elizabeth: is there going to be another vote? >> there'll be another vote tomorrow. we have a scheduled vote for tomorrow, is my understanding. i'm not sure of the exact time on that, but there's no reason for individuals to hold out and not elect jim jordan as speaker. if they're not for him, they should be making the case to the american people why the republican base voters are wrong about wanting him to become speaker. elizabeth it's getting so strange that even congressman ken buck says he voted for tom 'em or because he wants emmer to have the worst, most horrible job ever. watch this. >> he did not vote for congressman jim jordan. instead, voting for tom emmer. well, i guess my first question

is do you really want tom emmer to be speaker? >>, i don't -- no, i don't. mike rowe would not want to do this for his tv show. this is a terrible job. >> just to underscore that, you voted for somebody because you don't like them. >> i voted for somebody because with i wasn't going to vote for jim jordan. elizabeth: what's going on here? i mean, are republicans taking this seriously? let me back -- let me just explain what's going on. stocks are extending losses. we have rising bond yields. show the viewer what's going on with the treasuries, right in i mean, we've got oil prices going up again on geopolitical unrest. we've got -- can you see it, the 10-year yield is heading towards 5. people are worried about their kitchen table costs. this is a kitchen table election. we understand a year from now people will forget the speaker fight, but it's time to move on and get this done. how do you convince the 22 or, you know, to get somebody to be speaker and move on? nobody's going to remember this fight a year from now in the 2024 election. >> they actually won't remember

it two weeks from there now. we were told in january, oh, this is such an embarrassment, this is chaos, and no one cared a week or two later that it took a few extra days to vote in a speaker. but tell me what congress has been doing for the american people. how have we been fighting to secure wins for the american people? we certainly haven't cut spending, secured our border, done anything about the weaponization of the federal government against its citizens. that's why we need a transformational change in congress, that's why we're voting on a new speaker today. i believe jim jordan is the fighter and leader who will bring that fight on behalf of the american people. he's not own by the special interests, hobbyists or donor class. -- lobbyists. that's why the swamp is fighting so hard against his speakership because tell me in what way that congress has been winning for the american people under the republican majority. we're on track for a $2 trillion deficit this year with the republican majority, and we passed a continuing resolution to kept the biden-pelosi-schumer policieses in place for another 45 days. that was your republican

leadership that we now have an opportunity to elect -- elizabeth: time timeout. it's a failed presidency. it's failed, okay in we see it from ap poll, quinnipiac polls, we segal line up, monmouth. a-- can gallup. seven out of ten americans say the u.s. is on the wrong path. six or seven out of ten americans say that the economy is worse under president biden. don't the 22 see it? >> well, i don't know what they see, but the republican base wants jim jordan as speaker. it is overwhelming, the support that he has. we ought to maybe listen to our constituents, our voters, listen to grassroots republicans and elect jim jordan as speaker. elizabeth: got it. congressman good, thanks for joining us. this is an interesting story coming up, the powerful house way is the and means chairman, jason smith, he may now investigate whether to get rid of and yank, just abolish the tax-exempt status of colleges after they had rallies celebrating hamas terrorists and their massacre of israelis.

elizabeth: let's well to the show washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york. byron, it's good to see you again. what did you make of the media's disturbing rush no judgment, quick to -- rush to judgment blaming israel for the bombing of the hospital when hamas is caught on tape taking credit for it and the administration says hamas did it? >> well, there are a couple of parts to my reaction. one was that this was just an ideological-biased reaction that they had. and, two, was the sheer lack of

professionalism in this. you're a journalist. you hear there's within an explosion at the hospital and 500 people are dead. i mean, they said 500 people were dead before we ever knew anything else about it. how did they find that out? you should be skeptical about that at the beginning. and then you have a group that has given out a lot of, a lot of unreliable information in the past, and you think, well, do we believe their account of it? you should actually be skeptical of what the idf says as well. but if you'd just waited a few hours, you would see evidence coming in that was conclusionive and -- conclusive and persuasive that it had been a rocket gone awry coming from the palestinian side is. elizabeth: you know, media eye founder dan abrams blasting the associated press, "the new york times", washington post, cnn saying hamas intentionally kills innocent civilians, kidnaps, lies and rapes.

he says it doesn't mean we accept israel 's word at face value, but you don't accept hamas' word either when they've been known to do, you know, manipulation and propaganda heavily. watch this, you're going to see the reaction to all of this. >> with we should also say that this kind of death toll is not what you normally associate with palestinian rockets. and we should say, finally, that there are instances in the past where the israeli military has said things in the immediate aftermath of an incident that have turned out not to be true in the long run. >> and i think the other thing which john kirby and other people at the nsc have said e is he wants to talk to bibi not only about his end game, but about restraint, about being careful about civilian casualties. that's also something a friend could do. >> well, and after this event, that is an unavoidable discussion. it's one that, a discussion that israel has to be even more welcoming to after this event told. >> yes.

and again, one of finish. >> and that isn't to say that israel is to blame for this at all, but it is a matter of perception that they have to be very much concerned about. >> and, jake, what those images add up to is a mass casualty event that could change the international opinion of what israel is doing right now. it could shift international opinion against them. it's already shifted that opinion in the arab world against israel. elizabeth: again, they're blaming israel. this is -- >> that was all -- elizabeth: -- all in the fog of war. >> it was all grave, important sounding commentary based on a false report. i mean, the whole thing was just a false report. and it could -- a lot of these people you just showed are professional a journal is, and they could have just said we don't know what happened. there has been an explosion near a hospital in parking lot.

palestinians say it was an israeli missile, the israelis say it wasn't. we don't know how many casualties there are, we don't know what has happened yet. and that would have all been correct, and it would not have misled viewers. now what happens with the reporting that did come out which was to immediately blame israel for 500 deaths is it simply became a fact in the palestinian world and in the part of the world that's just extremely passionate and agitated about this. so it's a fact -- elizabeth: the thing to watch, byron, you seed to haves at the new york times, for example, rapidly changing their headlines after the fact, after they initially indicated that it was an israeli strike. they did it multiple times throughout the night. we understand that happens, but you're going to see that more and more at these media i outlets saying, oh, we see the evidence coming in, we've got to fix our headline, the initial one wasn't so good.

we were too quick this our rush to judgment. -- in the our rush to judgment. what do do you make of the viewers and the readers getting misled by major media outlets as they, throughout the night and day, or change their internet headlines? final word. >> well, they're not going to be able to trust news organizations that they should be able to trust. look, i know when hamas says something, i'm not just going to believe it. i understand. and if a news organization is reporting to me what hamas said, i can believe that, but if they're reporting it as fact, then there's no more faith. elizabeth: got it. byron york, you're terrific. thank you so much. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: okay. we're staying on this story. you know, the white house has been focused full bore, top priority, climate change. we've got a proxy war with russia, a proxy war with iran and a cold war with china. and also this story, more and more states raising red flags about foreign entities buying up u.s. land. governor sarah huckabee sanders

the terrorist massacre of israelis. is there talk to hold hearings that even yank their tax-exempt status? >> i think, i think there would have been. i would definitely support as a member of ways and means, i would definitely support the chairman's position. look, these colleges are teaching their kids to basically hate america. when you've got -- and i called out my alma mater, cornell university, over this weekend for employing a professor who who was so hateful and called it energizing and energetic, what he saw happen in israel from hamas. the fact that you're butchering innocent children and women, using innocent citizens as, as shields, that's what with we're seeing. and you are having this at campuses all across the country at your taxpayer expense. i absolutely believe they should have their tax-exempt status yanked. it is a privilege, it is not a right. you shouldn't be getting taxpayer dollars for teaching anti-american rhetoric. elizabeth: the state department

designated hamas a terror group back in 1997, but then you've got rallies ignoring gang rape, mass murder, attacks on children. and so here's the thing, andrew sullivan said this five years ago in new york magazine, what colleges teach and how students -- what students become are what is going to happen in the culture of society at large. so now you've got this watchdog group, canary mission, 1300 student radicals promote hatred of the united states,es israel and jews on north american college campuses. heir going to graduate with thao graduate with that hatred. >> yeah. this is what your taxpayer dollars are going to fund. people, when they graduate, who would rather support hamas who has made it known that their goal is to eradicate israel and the jewish people. that is their focus, ask we have campuses across the country right now that are celebrating this. and russell rickford, the cornell professor, he needs to get fired. there's absolutely no reason he should be around kids teaching

them this hateful rhetoric, and our taxpayer dollars should not be going to fund it. youngs -- you know, we have see- elizabeth: colleges and universities don't have to pay income taxes, they don't pay sales taxes, they don't pay pot taxes. they live tax-free on the taxpayers' nickel. >> and they're not living up the, they're not living up to the bargain. the whole point is they're supposed to be offering a public good, something that's good and in the interest withs of america. and they're doing the exact opposite, and we're seeing the damage, they're seeing the damage that it's having not only in our kids, but on our culture. and we're sitting here doing the exact opposite of what the principals of our country are, you know, celebrating, as you said, the slaughter of children, innocent people being killed, women being raped. that is exactly the opposite culture that we should be celebrating. and if you're going to do it on a college campus, you should not be getting taxpayer dollars. elizabeth: listen to al an dershowitz here. watch this. >> they should neat freeze --

treat these students exactly as they supported cue clucks clam clan members who support -- ku klux klan members. there should be no distinction between these neo-nazis, the ones at harvard, and the neo-nazis who everybody would say that nobody should employ. i admire the professor from berkeley who said don't hire my students. my students. i would say the same thing. don't hire my students, you know? these are people who don't deserve to be hired, and more importantly, your clients don't deserve to be serviced by bigots, racists and anti-semites like this. elizabeth: congresswoman, your final word. >> dershowitz is absolutely right. look, we have had campuses that have kicked out professors who have taught conservative values. we have had them shut down students, shut down organizations and take away funding, financial aid from students with conservative values, and now we're seeing them do the exact opposite and using the first amendment as an

excuse the allow hateful, hateful is and damaging rhetoric. i agree with dershowitz 100%. they should have their names out there, thank you. elizabeth: thank you for ginning us. okay, this story coming up, americans stepping up. they're stepping up to help israel. florida congressman cory mills talks to us about how and why he launched a rescue operation all on his own to bring back americans stranded in israel. we've got the details. plus, former economicked a visor to former president trump -- economic adviser to former president trump steve moore. the white house stuck on climate change, arkansas governor sarah huckabee sanders blocked foreign ownership of u.s. land in her state. it's on "the evening edit.

notably china, from owning farmland in the state of arkansas? what do you think? >> you know, i'm not against foreigners owning farmland in america. but what with i am against is them owning land that's very close to, say, a military installation, liz, or some kind of facility that's important for our national security and national defense. so i kind of fall in the middle on this one. but i want to go back to the main point that you made that here we are in an international crisis that's going on that was really caused in part by this climate change crazy agenda that biden has put in place. and what i would say is for the president, we should tell him to put the climate change agenda on hold nor now -- for now, liz, until we get this situation in the middle east under control. that means, yeah, go back to the trump policy of drilling for all the energy we have. elizabeth: we want you to listen to governor sarah sanders on why

she made this move. >> okay, yeah. elizabeth: listen to this. >> today we are becoming the first state in the country to take an action like the one that we are announcing right now. at the beginning of my term, my administration worked with our partners in the legislature to get hostile foreign entities out of arkansas. seeds are technology. chinese-owned corporates filter that technology back to their homeland, stealing american research and telling you are to to can -- our enemies how to target american farmings. that is a clear threat to our national security ask to our great farmers. elizabeth: did you hear that national security threat, steve? >> yeah. as i said, i partially agree with her. but i think the only problem i have with this, liz, is where is china getting all these dollars to begin with to buy all this farmland? oh, yeah, we've been running $2 trillion deficits. in other words, i want to address the problem that we're sending, you know, all these

american dollars overseas because we can't control our trade deficit, we can't control our budge deficit, and that's the -- elizabeth: i got it. i get it, but here's the probled what -- where you're coming from, i get it. nbc news found very weak, lax government oversight of who actually owns u.s. farmland, period. >> that's true, yep. elizabeth: they found, like, these entities were not reporting to the usda or the government that they actually bought the land. you know that data point, you've heard it, that china, for example, owns a fraction of less than .03 of a percent of u.s. farmland. again, nobody knows if that's accurate because the government is not enforcing, not doing oversight. >> right. elizabeth: it's asleep at the wheel about who is buying the farmland. >> that's right. elizabeth: we get it about near military sites, understand you. fibroword -- final word on that. >> no, i agree, you have to make sure we know who owns our land, our buildings, and there has to

be some way of having a registry for that, absolutely true. especially any kind of land near really essential national security, you know, facilities. elizabeth: love steve moore. we'll have him on again soon. good to see you. coming up, florida congressman cory mills, we're excited the him on, he launched a rescue operation on his own, rescuing americans stranded in israel. in the wake of the israel-hamas war. we're going to get why he did this and talk to him about it next. ♪ ♪

elizabeth: well, look who's here, we're so happy to have on the show congressman cory mills from house armed services. congressman, tested good to see you again or have you on the show. tell us about what you did on your own. you successfully rescued nearly 100 americans stranded in israel. what prompted you to take this action? >> well, you know, as we all recall in 2021 is the botched afghanistan withdrawal left a tremendous amount of americans behind. my team and i during that phase had actually conducted the very first successful overland rescue of americans which was a mother and three children out of amarillo, texas. i knew when this event started to occur that the same thing was going to unfold. the administration has demonstrated they've had no strategy, in plan and no priority to rescue americans. and so i took it upon myself the

basically say if biden's not going to step up and do his job, i'm going to do it for him. went over, on the first day conducted an evacuation of 32 americans, on the second day, 45 americans. we continued on to also pull out adrian huizenga which is one of my republican colleague's son. i don't think the white house defines the american spirit, and i think we swear an oath to protect our constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, but one of our priorities is the safe safety of american lives. stuart: -- elizabeth: congress congressman, you served in the army, i mean, you've been in -- you did your time serving the country. so we now have a white house where we've had to evacuate tree times -- three times americans, afghanistan, ukraine and now israel. so what do you make of royal caribbean, florida governor ron desantis also stepping up? vivek ramaswamy also stepping

up, you know, but the biden white house apparently is now charging americans for their flights home, but you guys are not. is that true? >> yeah, that's exactly right. you know, again, it's one of those things the countries that you just named, i think it's only on the short list of what's to come. we have tremendous amounts of protests and riots around the u.s. embassies in lebanon right now in beirut. you're seeing a whirlwind where the china, russia, iran, north korea geopolitical alignments continue to advance their agendas. weakness senses the aggression that comes with it, and so the biden administration has demonstrated no willingness to actually step up, hold adversaries accountable and, in fact, they can't even say that iran is the largest state sponsor or terror behind this when you've got hamas who has been funded by iran, you've got a general in lebanon with the hezbollah who is funded by iran. you have the houthis of yemen, and you also have the iraq and syrian proxy militias that the

former quds force commander qassem soleimani started up. we don't have an administration who's willing to step the up and do what necessary and, two, they won't even come to the aid of our true allies. elizabeth: congressman, will there be hearings on what's going on with iran? >> say again, i'm sorry. elizabeth: hearings, do you think, coming up on iran? >> yes. i will definitely -- from the foreign affairs committee as well as armed services committee, we will definitely be stepping up to insure that we hold iran accountable. elizabeth: you're a great man. >> we will continue to step up and take the fight to 'em. elizabeth: you're a great man. thank you for serving america. >> thank you. elizabeth: come back soon. >> god bless. elizabeth: tomorrow we've got ways and means chair jason smith, the one and only congressman dusty johnson and gop separatist ford o'connell. thank you so much for watching, dear viewer. i'm liz mac don, thanks for watching us again. now it's time for "the bottom line," dagen and sean, good to see you guys. dagen: thank you, e-mac. elizabeth: sure.
