away at the age of 115. besse hendricks who lived in iowa. what a life. a few years ago she shared the secret to her longevity. know what it was? it was hard work. >> dana: oh my, she said hard work. that's amazing. >> bill: she also loved sweets. it's okay, sugar is okay. hard work. >> dana: good for her. also she made -- i wish she would have said red wine. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: right now an all-republican conference call is underway on capitol hill. we don't know what, if any, progress is being made to choose a house speaker now that republicans are in the majority of the they're set to reconvene shortly on the house floor. republican house speaker nominee kevin mccarthy got a break overnight as they voted to adjourn until noon today. the wrangling could be continuing between mccarthy and his opponents on that call that i just reported.

we're monitoring any developments on that and we'll bring them to you. i'm harris falkier and you with in "the faulkner focus." mccarthy suggesting votes would continue through the weekend if the stalemate continues. the vote failed again on the 11th round last night. we're so far beyonn anything li this since 1859. and we're in a whole new territory. mccarthy and allies hoping their ne give him a viable path to speakership. they include pretty much all of the demands of the anti-mccarthy members. no word on any defectors budging yet. mccarthy backers aren't happy, to say the least. >> i'm not a member of congress now. i can't get classified briefings. i can't do my job. i can't do what we are supposed to do to fix the border. i can't tell you what is go

being on with the cartels. we can't do any of that because 20 people don't like kevin mccarthy. this is an extreme disservice to the american people. >> harris: former house speaker newt gingrich in "focus." let's begin with senior congressional correspondent chad pergram live on capitol hill where you are taking up residence now. >> i'm here all the time. a senior house g.o.p. leadership source says we made progress in the negotiations but we don't know if that's changed any votes yet. fox is told the chances for the drama to end today are low. kevin mccarthy made concessions on efforts to remove the speaker if members don't like the job he is doing. he also made commitments to grants opponents plum committee assignments. even his most fierce adversary thinks he gave up too much. >> the construct of these rules

concessions functionally turn the speakership into a ceremonial position. matter of fact if my colleagues get what they want from mccarthy the chairman of the freedom caucus will be more important than the speaker of the house in determining the legislation that reaches the floor. >> members are growing ansi. some think the protracted election needs to end. there is concern that mccarthy lacks a path to win. >> has it undercut the power of the speakership? >> [inaudible] >> it doesn't mean you will be a weaker speaker? >> no. only a weaker speaker if i was afraid of them. >> this is day four of the speaker saga. the longest fight for speaker since 1859. fox is told mccarthy must make progress today if for nothing else to change the narrative.

so far mccarthy opponents are not willing to embrace his concessions. >> the devil is in the details and we will look at it and cismd it is common sense proposals that quite frankly mr. mccarthy had sixed eight weeks ago. we are excited having these changes made. it should have been done anyway. >> the biggest problem could be lawmakers who are absent. three are out today. that changes the vote cocktail necessary to win. as we say, it is all about the math. >> harris: all about the math and all about whether or not they can sustain this going forward. when you hear representative-elect dan crenshaw say they can't get classified briefings, it means there are important work not being done now potentially. good to see you, chad. thank you for staying on it. someone who knows a thing or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5,000 about this entire process is newt gingrich,

former house speaker and fox news political analyst. great to see you today. your top line thought on where we are as we have seen a failure in the 11th round by kevin mccarthy to become the next speaker. >> well, from mccarthy's standpoint is good news is he won't break the next record which was 1855 when it took 133 ballots and two months. so he has broken all the records he will be able to break. the other good news for mccarthy is he will come out of this a much better known national figure and the house will be much more important as a result of all the attention everybody is paying. now, i have disagreed deeply with the people who are 10% of the conference who believe that they can basically blackmail the rest of the conference but the mathematics are reality. they can blackmail and they are willing whatever the moral virtue of blackmail is they're willing to do it. i would draw them into two

different groups. there is a pretty substantial number, about 20, who have serious policy concerns, chip roy and the balanced budget is a classic example. if those folks have their policy concerns and their rules concerns met, there is a pretty good chance they'll vote for mccarthy. then there are a handful of people, gaetz who was on and biggs of arizona, two examples are making money every day. i get probably 10 or 15 or 20 emails from those two guys asking me to send them a check. it will be interesting for somebody in the conference to ask the two of them how much money are you making by holding up the entire process and would you donate that money to a congressional campaign committee? i think those folks may never be a yes because it's financially to their interest to continue this fight as long as possible. >> harris: so depending on the number of how many there are, the matt gaetz and like if there were fewer than eight i've been reading you pick off some

democrats maybe and have some people vote present and not around to lower the threshold. how do you -- >> you may have some people prepared to vote present who will never vote for mccarthy but they'll vote present. both boehner and pelosi were elected with 216. pelosi to govern with the margin as mccarthy. she was able to pass trillion dollar bills. she was able to pass radical policies. so the fact that you have a narrow majority, denny hastert, the longest serving speaker in history at one point had a five-point majority. when they're through with this how many of them are so totally hostile that they'll never work with the republicans in which case they'll face very severe primary opponents in two years. and would mccarthy then have to reach out for some democrats on almost every vote? i think we'll have to wait and see. remember, if you are president

biden, you have the opposite fear. if mccarthy is tough enough he can say to biden on the debt ceiling ham eke jeff -- all of a sudden the burden of governing for the president becomes much harder. >> harris: an interesting scenario, too. plus if hakeem jeffries who you want in the seat if you're a republican no matter how dire the situation is. >> i was told by the democratic whip when i ran for whip he was actively in support of me because i could keep my word and i could enforce agreements. if you are the governing party as the democrats are right now, you've got to have some ability to get things done. if you are the republican party either in chaos, remember, they haven't gotten anything done, not a single piece of the

american people's work has been done this week. they didn't get to vote on repealing the 87,000 i.r.s. agents or vote on scent up the china committee or going to the border and requiring democrats to go hold hearings on the border. a lot of things that mccarthy had planned and the conference had planned. remember, this is not just about kevin mccarthy. this is about 200 plus members of the conference who have been unified consistently through this whole process. >> harris: a good point. when you bring up the border. we'll move forward with this for the hour, but i would say that president biden now has a position that he wouldn't have if republicans in the house were able to join, you know, delegations to go to the border. he has the bully pulpit unfettered, and we don't really understand his plan. nobody likes it particularly but they can't understand it. he is getting to make points now and go down to the border on sunday without any competition

on any ideas, good or bad. speaker, i have to let you go. newt gingrich, it is always great to have you in "focus." in 52 minutes we could see each other again. we don't know if they'll reconvene and keep it or go into recess. that would be a great friday if we get to see you again. thank you. >> look forward to it. >> harris: president biden trying to pivot on the border crisis now as i just mentioned laying out a plan to rein in the chaos. already the plan has backlash. if you watched the speech yesterday bully for you if you could even understand it. plus a massive trove of new information in the idaho student murders and how police tracked the suspect. >> this case was really solved because two washington state officers, law enforcement knew what they were looking for. the guy's goose is cooked as far as the evidence in this case is. >> harris: that suspect making his first appearance in court as

documents revealed a stunning timeline leading up to the killings. he is a stalker. a stalker and then an alleged killer. jonathan hunt, ted williams join us live from moscow, idaho. jonathan, i'll start with you when we come back. when you find that perfect pair, nothin' can stop your shine. because when you feel fly, you look fly. um jamie? i'm pretty sure that was my line. get two pairs of privé revaux plus a free exam for $89.95. book your exam online today.

>> harris: now information showing exactly how police tracked down the accused idaho killer bryan kohberger. court documents reveal a timeline of the six week long police investigation showing the methodical and precise approach which led to the arrest of the suspect. one of the victims' fathers says today he is praising the moscow

police. >> knowing they put those things together and the timeline they wrote was very precise and it painted a picture of weeks and weeks of investigation and following and each line gave me a little bit more confidence that we were in a very good position. >> harris: so clearing some of that cloudiness up from the early days of the investigation, now i have had several prosecutors tell me it was necessary because they needed to not tip kohberger off, their suspect. they needed to be able to work. apparently they did if you look at the affidavit. surviving roommate dhillon mortensen said she came face-to-face with the masked suspect but didn't call police until 7 or 8 hours later. also something we didn't know. jonathan hunt is live in idaho.

jonathan. >> good morning, harris, a lot of people around the country were wondering what the moscow police department was doing in the weeks after the murders which happened in the early hours of november 13th. it turns out we now know from that affidavit that they were doing a whole heck of a lot and doing it quietly and effectively building dna evidence, getting vehicle surveillance footage, getting cell phone records. the vehicle, the white hyundai registered to kohberger was a key part of the evidence in this. they tracked it. on surveillance footage multiple times outside the house where the victims were all murdered are in the hours before and immediately after the killings took place. they saw it there on surveillance footage leaving kohberger's apartment in nearby pullman, washington hours before the murders. they saw it around the house at

the time of the murders and they saw it leaving the area after the murders. then they put together also cell phone records. his cell phone did not ping off a cell phone tower near the house at the time of the murders although it was headed in that direction according to cell tower tracking. they believe the police that he may have turned it off during the time that he was actually near the house where the killings happened. then he turned it back on. they began tracked the cell phone and his car taking a route back home interesting to them. one of the questions that remains, harris, is what was he doing taking that long way home? what happened perhaps to the murder weapon? remember, they haven't found the knife used in the stabbings. if he stabbed these four people as police believe he did his clothing was covered in blood. was he spending time disposing

of the clothing? that hasn't been found, either. a lot of open questions, the biggest question has been answered, what were police doing? they were doing a lot of very good police work. harris. >> harris: another question that i would have, too, and they may not want to tell us at this point, what are the cameras along the longer route? now we've seen things with the gas station, closed circuit that showed a white elantra. helpful in answering the when and where and how and all that in the investigation. perhaps there is just more along that longer route which would make sense because you have more of it. he was along that route for so long. >> right. and remember, harris, what we got here was the information from the probable cause affidavit. it was just the information they needed to put out to get the arrest in pennsylvania, to get the extradition here to idaho. they aren't giving us everything. again, the police here in moscow, along with the f.b.i.

are playing out this investigation in a very efficient manner. they may have and probably do have a lot more evidence beyond what we have now learned from that affidavit. they may know all of those things, all of those questions that we're now asking, but they are giving out the information when they feel it is right. they have every right to do that. as you heard the family of kaylee goncalves saying they are very happy with the way the case is progressing and being handled. >> harris: the best set of circumstances is to get a conviction who killed four people but never have the happiness and joy we hoped they could have. they have lost a loved one in a most vicious way. jonathan, thank you very much. ted williams fox news contributor, former d.c. homicide detective joining us in moscow, idaho. ted williams, the expert on the ground, what can you tell us? >> well, i can tell you, harris,

that law enforcement did an extraordinarily excellent job. i was one of the people that was early on somewhat critical of law enforcement and the pace of this investigation. but i met yesterday with the chief of police, chief frye and i personally apologized for him for what i believe was a slow pace investigation. what we know that is on november 25th, they put out a bulletin for a white car. a law enforcement officer at washington state university saw a white car that belongs to bryan kohberger, notified law enforcement and that's how they initially got onto bryan kohberger. they followed him, they went across the country when he drove from pullman, washington to pennsylvania, they followed him. they had a great deal of

information. harris, i have to tell you, d.m. as she is known in the affidavit, the surviving -- one of the survivors. she came directly in contact with the killer. the killer looked her in the eyes and walked out while she was in shock. there is just so much evidence that they have. they have videotape, they have dna evidence, and they've been able to put him in that crime scene. >> harris: that's the probable cause affidavit. i want to tick down some things with you before i let you go. the suspect lived ten miles from the home why four victims were killed. we just showed you video and can pop it back up. fox digital filmed a drive kohberger made from the home on november 13th. he was stalking his victims. phone records show he stalked

the home at least 12 times before the night of the murders. he is a ph.d. candidate in criminology studied under a professor an expert on the btk serial killer. i covered the after math of some of that in the mid to late 90s when i was in kansas city. raider killed ten people in kansas over 15 years before his capture in 1991. there is no evidence that we know of that kohberger ever talked directly with that professor or of course not the btk killer rader. what did those details reveal to you? >> they tell me that a diabolical mind that is a criminal nature. remember, this was a ph.d. crimenologist. harris, i drove from the crime scene to his apartment and along the way you could throw a weapon

away at any time. the one thing that we're wondering out here, harris, is what was the motive? and what was the connection with that actual house? we don't have those answers. we are hoping to get those answers. i can tell you, i have been told through my source that they have a great deal more evidence connecting him to that crime scene. >> harris: the word you used, diabolical, and police, you meeting with the police chief yesterday, one-on-one, very helpful for us to kind of get some idea now on how much more information is coming. ted williams, thank you, homicide detective working with us here on the ground in moscow, idaho. the vice president ringing in the new year brimming with optimism for the president's agenda. some americans aren't feeling it. why they believe 2023 economically is about to get a

lot tighter. plus the president finally announcing a plan for the border disaster. the reaction not really liked by either side of the political aisle. >> it's very unclear what the strategy is and the long term strategy is for the border. i think that speech raised more questions than answers. >> harris: that was part of the problem if you could even understand the plan the president has. el paso, texas, people living there and officials are about to receive the president when he finally visits the border on sunday. tammy bruce in "focus" next. she have has a lot to say on it.

has been speaking. a bill's tweet says that as his recovery progresses his neurologic function is intact. he spent the morning talking with teammates and coaches over face time. yesterday bill's quarterback josh allen shared an emotional response to the recent positive developments. >> being on that field -- you lose sleep, you hurt for your brother. a lot of shared grief but to the question before getting updates and positive updates eases so much of that pain and tension. >> harris: time to heal. they need that. the nfl announced the game between the bills and cincinnati bengals will not be resumed. the league is now deciding what order the teams will be in. the bills returned to practice for the first time since the

tragedy yesterday. they are preparing for their final regular season game. they will play the new england patriots. >> we can secure our border, fix the immigration system to be orderly, fair, safe and humane. it's a hard one to deal with but we have to deal with it. our problems at the border didn't arise overnight and not solved overnight. it is clear immigration is a political issues that extreme republicans will always run on. now they have a choice. they can keep using immigration to try to score political points or they can help solve the problem. >> harris: president biden pivoting to the border crisis. the new approach comes as biden set for his first-ever visit to the border in his presidency on sunday. he laid out a pathway to allow more people from haiti, cuba and nicaragua into the united states

and expand title 42 expulsions and prohibit certain people from seeking asylum at all. democrat senator bob menendez is not a fan of the president's plan. here is a quote. their decision to create an unlawful transit van erases the words and values etched on the statue of liberty. the administration is circumventing immigration law that will exacerbate confusion and chaos at the southern border. that's a democrat, high-profile. those on the front lines also not impressed. >> we have seen this. he is already two years to late to the party. the only reason he is coming to the party now is because now you have democrats we're tired of the chaos and tired of you putting the burden on us, the burden has to fall back on u. democrats are actually pushing back against it. if it wasn't for that he wouldn't be coming to the border. this is not of his own accord. he is doing it because of the pressure placed upon him.

>> harris: enough op-ed's taking on the pivot. biden discovers the u.s./mexico border. the latest immigration plan is an end run. tammy bruce fox news contributor and host on fox nation your thoughts. >> this is fascinating to watch but when president biden says there is a problem, we have to fix it, they caused this problem, right? it is an unforced error based on their policy. our southern border is a failed nation. we completely let it go. it fascinates me he created this separate sections out for haitians and nicaraguans as if there is a check-in process where you have a door you lock or unlock at the border. what this is doing is it's inviting more of those individuals through and if they don't get through that new path that he somehow has created it will create more of the getaways

as they are incentivized to come up to the border. >> the cubans, haitians, nicaraguans and venezuelans say they have an app. >> everything has worked so well forw the immigration and border patrol. the number of people we have. the managing of this border, there is no system really that is functioning. this is all about literally theater, an insult and going to create more of a rush to come in especially still with title 42 being an issue still. the nature of disease, what's happening with ebola in certain countries now. covid, etc. >> harris: you're reading about that, too. you don't want to make everything a pandemic but that's something that we have seen that is really rigid on certain continents. we need to be aware since 150 countries are sending people here. the countries aren't but people

are trying to come here. >> it's like one disease where the nature you can maintain viral dynamics and pathogens because you have maintaining of some level of border security. when all of that is destroyed and people are moving through en masse you have things like ebola, the plague and covid that suddenly are moving through that normally never would because they would be staying dormant within their borders. >> harris: two things that stood out to me. i think he misspoke. title 8 and 9 are different. i hope he knows the difference. title viii is something other presidents has looked at. you can always use eight. they could have been using it now. they didn't want to do that. the republicans now, because of what's going on in the house.

a necessary process they work through, hopefully they'll get through it quickly. but now the president gets a bully pulpit on something he didn't own or take credit for the failure of it. not credit but accountability for that. the two people behind him mayokas and kamala harris the vice president and secretary of homeland, he didn't do any of that. the president gets to move forward without the strongest voices in the republican party in the house even having a say. >> but even with -- they never really were the strongest voices. we know that they could be but the biden administration and this is partly why the mid-terms were not as good for the republicans as it could be. the messaging has never been on point. it has never been strong, never been consistent. so even though there is really no house of representatives right now because they haven't gotten a speaker. it will change and this is an important process. the fact is i really hope that they are appearing to be shell

shocked by this process and surprised by it. that it's not the case when it comes to all the work they have to do for these next two years. >> harris: vice president kamala harris is teasing the biden administration's 2023 priorities after a cabinet meeting yesterday in a tweet. the v.p. said today she has never been more optimistic about our future adding we'll deliver on lowering inflation, creating more jobs and building an economy that works for everyone. some americans don't seem quite so confident. >> i suspect -- not really do much more our country. >>, no really. i don't think he is a good leader. >> i hope we can get the economy better. i don't really see that happening. >> you hear it with the average person, ordinary americans understand no one is at home. these are statements and templates that mean nothing. they tell us things that aren't

true, like the border is secure and inflation is transitory. it is a dejacketed attitude. americans want leadership. we don't see it. they give everybody another chance. this nation is in trouble. someone will have to stipe. it is not the president or vice president. they seem to not be interested. >> harris: one on the border with leadership. senator blackburn of tennessee is set to lead a delegation down on monday. the president arrives at the border on sunday. there will be senators, those strong republican voices on the ground from the senate if they can get it together in the house, maybe they can join them. >> of course, senators, not senator blackburn but they passed the omnibus bill letting if biden administration have everything it wanted for the next year. theater is one thing, going there is one thing. solving this problem is another. we have the ability. we're not doing it. we need to. >> harris: you make everything better including 2023. good to see you. the house set to reconvene in

just about 20 minutes from now or less. we are expecting a 12th -- yeah, number 12 vote for speaker of the house. possibly more drama over racist attacks from the left on black conservatives. that's been a pop-up and quite uncomfortable. plus another biden speech. another full of gaffes. >> president biden: we'll have to use title ix -- title eight, am i right? , 8, 9, which -- >> harris: did you see the vice president's face there? she eye rolled. critics saying even the president's standards by his own, his border speech yesterday was a doozy. steve hilton. maybe we can get him to make a revolution, in "focus" next. can.

>> harris: a couple of hours from now the president is set to mark two years since january 6th. he will preside over a ceremony in the east room at the white house later today as i mentioned 2:00 p.m. eastern to honor a dozen people with a presidential

citizens today. peter doocy is live at the white house. >> today is the anniversary. in the white house officials invoke january 6th pretty frequently. >> president biden: concerned about public safety? look, folks, as i spoke about last week democracy is on the ballot. political violence and intimidation on the rise across america. you remember january 6th, the angry mob that stormed the u.s. capitol, attacked law enforcement, huntsed down elected officials erected gallows to hang vice president pence. it was an enraged mob whipped into a frenzy by a president repeating over and over again the big lie that the election of 2020 had been stolen. it's a lie that fueled the dangerous rise in political violence and voter intimidation.

>> he will give medals to 12 people for people responding to january 6th. the police officer who led a mob away from the senate chamber and michigan's secretary of state who ignored pressure to overturn her states election results and the late bryan sicknick, a police officer who battled rioters and suffered a stroke and passed away. we expect today's event to be serious, solemn and framed that way recently by the press secretary who described the events of january 6th as the worst attack on democracy since the civil war. harris. >> harris: peter doocy, thank you very much. >> president biden: title 42 will go away, any prediction and then we'll have to use title ix -- title 8, 8, am i right? yeah, title 8, 8, 9. since august of last year custom

and border patrol have seized more than 20,000 pounds of deadly fentanyl. that's enough to kill as many as 1,000 people in this country. >> harris: if you watched yesterday, we carried it live, you may have noticed some messy remarks while the president was trying to talk about the border crisis. he fumbled facts and butchered numbers and mislabeled customs and border patrol instead of protection. >> president biden: i sent congress legislation that would completely overhaul that what has been a broken immigration system. republicans have failed to look at that. failure to pass this plan has increased the challenges we see at the southwest border. no one knows this better than the vice president. thanks to her leadership she has been able to generate more than $3.2 billion from the private sector to create jobs and opportunities to el salvador,

honduras and guatemala. >> harris: critics pounced. no one believes it is true including the vice president. harris hasn't held a border related event in more than six months and hasn't been to the border since june of 2021. steve hilton host of the next revolution. what's really going on here? >> well, i think this event yesterday was a perfect encapsulation of the entire biden years as president. what do they do on every issue? create a problem because of their pandering to the far left extremists who control their party. they then deny the problem exists. they belatedly acknowledge it but not before blaming everyone else but themselves and come up with totally pathetic stunts. you see that on every issue. they are totally focused on

sending the right message. signaling virtue to their activists and unserious people not focused on policy or addressing real problems. they are focused on the politics. on seeming to chime in with whatever the latest fad is that is animating their far left extremist activist base and why on every single issue whether the economy, transportation, energy, you name it. there isn't a single issue where they haven't turned a situation and made it worse with their rule. in that sense so typical. it is not a one off this border crisis. it is exactly how they've been on every issue. >> harris: so interesting because you get us to pay attention to the actions and not so much the words. no matter what they're saying the end results is what you're talking about. i think of the words. sometimes what the president is saying is -- it is hard to decipher and other times it is

just wrong. and just take a look at this. >> president biden: president harris led this effort. president harris and i stood in the united states capitol. >> i asked president harris to travel to the reason. when president harris and i took a tour of a vaccination center in arizona. of course, president harris is a proud howard aloam. happy birthday to a great president. >> harris: he is the president of the united states. maybe it is something that he is ready to relinquish to her. i don't know. it keeps happening. >> it is clear he is senile. he looks and sounds it. how he goes about his job shows that. a lot of people suffer from that. it is not ages. many people his age and older with plenty of energy who don't

behave or look like this. and so what -- we have someone there who was put there by his party in order to stop bernie sanders. that's the truth here. biden is a totally corrupt machine politician who has done nothing in 50 years except pander to his party and donors. he has no principles or views of his own other than bland statements how he will support the working class. he knows policies -- he is a puppet of his party and donors. always has been. no surprise when he gets there there is nothing driving him. there is no great vision or mission trying to accomplish other than to be in that office. that's why, when the situation turns to a crisis, he has nothing to say because there is nothing underneath the desire just to be in the white house. >> harris: you think you could get right who is your vice president. he calls her kamala. you would think you would get

that right. there is no making sense of it. let's move to this. we expect an historic 12th speaker vote at the top of the hour when the house is set to reconvene. if the stalemate continues voting could go through the weekend. your thoughts. >> i think progress is being made here. people are concerned about the time it is taking. it's just a few days. in europe it takes months sometimes to put a government and administration together. what we're seeing is progress for anyone who wants to improve the way congress works. of course it's true that a tiny minority of the rebels seems to me are interested in personal animus but the acknowledge more tee of them want reforms to how congress works. they are achieving results. we've got some -- yes, they are winning arguments on things like how bills are considered. it is outrageous that these giant bills just handed to members of congress and they are supposed to vote on them without having time to read them.

they have won a victory on that. it is outrageous the giant budgets covering the entire government are crammed together in omnibus bills. they won a victory saying we have to look at them individually. i hope they keep going and progress for whoever cares about congress working properly. >> harris: a lot of what newt gingrich said is the same. the process is working its way through. "outnumbered" is next. home's value, not just 80%. it means newday has been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own approvals. we can say yes to a veteran when other lenders say no. it means we come to work every day knowing we have the privilege of helping veterans make the most of their va home loan benefit.

it means no bank, no lender-- no one knows veterans like newday usa.

an unthinkable genocide took the lives of six million jews are still suffering in poverty today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day which is impossible. this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews. the international fellowship of christians and jews

urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. no vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. oh, oh, oh let's make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. by bringing them a little bit of food. for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. your support will provide them with a box overflowing with nourishing food and the knowledge that faithful christians around the world care about them. god tells us to take care of them,

to feed the hungry. and i pray holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive.

>> harris: it is ten seconds after high noon on the east coast which means the house could reconvene in any second now for a historic 12 vote to determine the next house speaker. the republican nominee for the job kevin mccarthy came up short again yesterday after 11 rounds of voting across three days. the first time it has gone this far since 1859. but a new deal in the works co
