final a salute. a 95-year-old israeli reservist suited up in uniform to serve his country hakeem. just 19 years old when he fought in the 19 war for independence. lost sight in one eye. he has given more than 9,000 motivational speeches since then. wants to impress the current idf forces this war will include three generations of his family 27-year-old grandson and is he back at it. pretty amazing. tomorrow on "special report," we will have complete coverage of president biden's planned "primetime" address from the oval office on israel-hamas war. also the conflict in ukraine. martha mccallum and i will anchor our special coverage 8:00 p.m. eastern time. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report" fair, balanced and unafraid. t"the ingraham angle" is now. ♪ >> hello, everyone, i'm laura

ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. [siren] >> there is lesser chance now that israel won't go in into gaza and that can be averted. >> we had a long talk about that and what alternatives there are. >> laura: alternatives. first no one on earth thinks biden was discussing specifics on any alternatives. some staffer probably handled that for him. but now we see what the biden team has been up to. they have been up to dictating israel's next move against hamas. that's funny because i thought the idf already had a lead commander. but we are going to learn more about these alternatives that biden is obviously pushing israel 25 hours when president biden addresses the nation in a "primetime" speech. i will tell you expect two

things in remarks. they will not be as what we heard him say earlier today, in israel will get to that in a little bit, because he can still read a teleprompter and, number two, he will go on to tell you why you should trust him to spend a lot more of your money, both in ukraine and now in the middle east. he will probably even call it an investment. meanwhile, we are seeing violent protests continue at israeli and u.s. embassies across the middle east. apparently they are not buying israel's claim that it did not hit that hospital. and closer to home, pro-palestinian protesters took over the u.s. capitol. more on that in a moment. but, first, for what is happening on the ground in israel, live to jerusalem where john roberts co-host of america reports details. laura, good morning to you from jerusalem. and the big question here in israel what comes next in this war now that president biden is winging his way home. israel itself seems to be in no

hurry ground operation. in fact the british prime minister richie sunak is going to be here tomorrow and i doubt they would launch a ground operation with him in the country. i spoke with general he doesn't see any need for israel to go on the ground any time soon. hit hamas targets all over gaza. continue to soften up the ground and then the forces could go in and then kind of a mopping up operation and try to get into those tunnels. the other big question is what is hezbollah going to do? for the past 12 days there has been harassing fire across the northern border into israel. idf forces were engaging with hezbollah operatives again today. but general island told me he doesn't see any reason why hezbollah would commit fully, at least not at this time. so maybe israel has got a little bit of time to work a few things out. one of those is the hostages because we still tonight know.

outrage aid into palestinians in southern gaza. israel is a agreed to let 20 truck loads through. the rafah border crossing between gaza and egypt. truth be told they could probably use about 300 truck loads. at least for the next few hours, no change expected. israel will likely continue to hit hamas targets with airstrikes. hamas will continue to fire back with harassing rocket fire. the big question that is being asked here in israel and asked increasingly in some circles is why the global media, laura, was so quick to take hamas at its word when it comes to this hospital explosion that you are looking at the aftermath of. i mean, this is an organization that launched a massive terror attack on october the 7th. killed 1300 israelis. an explosion goes off. hamas says it's israel. and everybody around the world, including the united nations buys it. there have been some good analyses of what happened. one of the bbc another in the

"wall street journal." it's worth taking a look at both of those. because they really do suggest that the likelihood of that being an israeli airstrike versus a rocket that was fired from gaza that went wrong very, very small. >> laura: john, thank you so much. great to see you don't. >> if the limited and extremely tight windows of opportunity available to the united nations and political actors are not used over the coming hours, opening new fronts against the zionist regime is inevitable. >> laura: growing belligerence from iran's foreign minister on monday. that was a war of words that really kicked off yesterday when supreme leader blamed the u.s. for the war between israel and hamas. now, iran is trying to leverage the crisis and biden's weakness. i am going to get to that later in the angle. in order to box out america. of course, with plenty of help from pro-palestinian media. now, early this morning, just

before biden's meeting with the israeli prime minister netanyahu, the iranian foreign minister tweeted this: the time has come for global unity of hamilton against the fake regime more hated than isis. and its killing machine. time is over. joining me now is nathan sales, former ambassador at large and counter terror accord nature for the trump administration. mr. ambassador, good to see you don't. what does he mean by that? is he talking about israel? america, or a combo? >> well, laura, i think it's clear that this is a shot across the bough of the united states. and israel alike. there has been a lot of focus on hamas and its responsibility for this deadly attack. but, make no mistake. iran's fingerprints are all over this attack. iran has been funding hamas hundreds of millions of dollars over the past number of years. boosted their capabilities for precisely this kind of terrorism. now, just today, iran upped the ante yet again.

we are not just talking about words, laura we are talking about deeds. iranian terror proxies in iraq launched three drones, suicide drones at american soldiers in iraq. thankfully we were able to take them out before they caused any death or damage. but that gives you a sense that iran doesn't take the administration's word for it when we say sit on the sidelines or there will be consequences. iran is not deterred. >> well, nathan, i want to get your reaction to an announce 89 that president biden made just today. watch. >> today, i'm also announcing $100 million in new u.s. funding for humanitarian assistance in both gaza and the west bank. this money will support more than 1 million displaced and conflict affected palestinians including emergency needs in gaza. >> laura: given all we know, how likely is it that this money, which is never trackable when it goes to the u.n., ends up in the hands of hamas? >> laura, it's petty likely.

during the trump administration, we cut off all assistance to the palestinian authority and palestinian territories for precisely that reason. we knew that hamas was going to skim off the top resources that are intended for the benefit of suffering civilians. there is going to be used to fill terrorist's coffers. the biden administration came into office with a different view. shortly after january 2021, they decided to open up the spittings again. they wrote a memo where they acknowledge that high likelihood that money is going to find its way into hamas' pockets. they did it anyway. i have to think at least a portion of this 100 million is going to be used to entrench hamas further. >> laura: nathan two wars. america might be fighting a proxy war in ukraine and at the same time a war in the middle east. we are going to see how that goes. great to see i. after hezbollah called for a day of anger, violent clashes broke out across israeli embassy across the world including in beirut where protesters threw

rocks, molotov cocktails and now there are new reports from lebanese tv that airstrikes from israeli sources are targeting southern lebanon. joining me now live from beirut is fox news chief international correspondent steve harrigan who never sleeps. steve, what can you tell us? >> law, the u.s. embassy here in beirut was once again the target of violent protests. they used rocks but more than that molotov cocktails as well. managed to set a building near the u.s. embassy on fire that cut through razor wish along the road to the u.s. embassy. removed a security wall. no u.s. embassy personnel injured in this clash. it took lebanese security forces to push back those protesters, they hurled cans of dear gas and also used water canons to push those angry crowds back. u.s. says all nonessential personnel can now leave the embassy, saudi arabia also calling for its citizens to leave lebanon as well. and a very bad sign some

airlines stopping flying here. the real concern israel hezbollah backed by iran and seen as a terrorist organization by the u.s. could open up a second front along the north of israel with its tens of thousands of long range rockets and precision guided missiles. laura, back to you. >> laura: of course, steve, people were hearkening back to the horrors of the iranian hostage crisis in the late 1970s when jimmy carter was president and, obviously, nobody wants to see anything like that ever happen again. so, thank you for that reporting, steve. >> laura: and the cost of hamas propaganda being parroted by our media and some lawmakers extends beyond protests at our embassies. american lives are actually at stake. now, as we mentioned earlier, u.s. shot down a total of three kamikaze drones targeting two u.s. bases in iraq where approximately 2500 troops are still located.

centcom is revealing tonight that some of our troops did suffer injuries. joining me now victor davis hanson, hoover institution senior fellow. victor, we call it the fog of war. this is the fog of a lot more than war here. there is enormous amount of propaganda. you see it on tiktok. i wouldn't doubt that the chinese are pushing some of this. but, this is now a dangerous moment. do we have a serious administration to confront it? >> yeah, i think people in the middle east wanted to know whether the afghan humiliation the putin invasion, the chinese balloon, our open border was an aberration or did we really lose deterrence and have adopted full scale appeasement? and now they look at biden's failed middle east effort, the idea of giving iran $6 billion, which he hasn't canceled, the restoration of money to the palestinians and by the way, i might add the message going out in the middle east is if you

have a lie that the israelis hit a hospital and you promulgate it all the way western and the middle eastern worlds and you get protests and the american president humiliated because he has no deterrence, then he will give you $100 million dingald the weird thing is we are basically saying to the palestinians go kill israeli children and women and we're going to reward you with $100 million. and what's even worse is we are saying to the world if that missile that was intended to kill jewish civilians in tel aviv had not missed the target and accidently hurt some or killed some palestinians, then we wouldn't even give them money, probably. we only give money because we are paranoid they're angry over a lie that the israelis did something. but, if it wasn't a lie. and they had really killed israelis as intended, we probably would have said well, that's okay. we don't really mind that and so it's really morally bankrupt

administration. i hate to say that because we all have to stick together. but when you look at what they are doing to our troops in iraq, and you look at what's going on here on our campuses and in new york and even at the capitol, you get the impression this is much worse than 1980 with jimmy carter. you have a complete meltdown of u.s. deterrence throughout the world. it's very dangerous. very dangerous in the next 15 months in general and specifically in the next week. >> laura: and victor, we are watching scenes of some of these protests breaking out in new york right now so far that he they seem to be peaceful. that many people in the dark, tempers flaring. anything is possible. i want to ask about this money that biden is going to be after tomorrow night. is he going to go to the nation with a teleprompter and is he going to say we need this 100 billion plus, which will be 500 billion before you blink for both ukraine and israel.

that that is critical money and we need it for the stability of the world, for peace. i wouldn't be surprised if he didn't call it some type of, you know, investment in the future. how will that go down with the american people? >> i think it won't go down too well because there is such an a symmetry. we never told ukraine there is a cycle of violence. you can't retaliate when putin comes. in we always say discount putin's nuclear threats. that will never happen. he would never dare. but, yet, iran doesn't have the bomb and we are told be careful about iran. they are threatening us. so there is such an a symmetry to the reactions of both of these wars. and, you know, we never said to the ukrainians we don't want you to do this. and when you hit a infrastructure or bridge or something, we wants you to phone civilians and get them out of the way. there is only one explanation, i'm afraid. and that is there is endemic

anti-semitism we treat our closest ally israel vs. a friend. ukraine doesn't have the relationship and we don't apply the same restrictions on ukraine than we could on israel. and it makes no sense. and to ask money. >> laura: they are not a nato ally. >> yeah. they are not. it's just -- i don't think it's going to sell. >> laura: all right, victor. >> especially when you have a president that's incoherent and can't articulate what the proposition is. >> laura: victor, we got to go we have breaking news. all right. what did biden's visit to israel actually accomplish? well, very little. but it did reveal a lot about the power vacuum created by his presidency. my angle on that is next. ♪

>> laura: weak and wo wobbly ths the focus of tonight's angle. this is how little the progressives fear and respect the leader of their party when is he overseas in a tweet directed at biden rashida tlaib referred to the israel and hamas conflict as your war. today she doubled down. >> this continue to watch people think it's okay to bomb a hospital. [chanting shame] >> i could cry.

we all could cry. president biden, not all of america is with you on this one. and you need to wake up and understand that. [cheers] >> laura: tlaib holds biden in political contempt not afraid of any political consequences from him. again, why are we surprised? this is the problem that biden is facing everywhere because everyone in the world knows that he is weak and that the u.s. is weak under his leadership. and filling this vacuum are america's adversaries. leaders from 140 countries, that's all, are gathered in beijing to celebrate the 10th anniversary of china's trillion dollars belt and road initiative. putin is there because he believes xi is a serious man and that china is the future. that was no accident that their statements, russia and china's criticizing israel and demanding a cease-fire almost seemed coordinated. taking the other side against america after all gave them an opportunity to band together and show the world that america is

on the down slope and iran sh iran, under biden feel the same way. they are not overly concerned by america's warning. they gave them $6 billion. even the president a nato country victor of hungary he seemed perfectly at ease appearing with putin in beijing yesterday. now, might he have thought that might offend the white house? he clearly doesn't care. but, under trump, none of them were so cavalier about this kind of stuff during trump's presidency rushed to meet at mar-a-lago in 2017 and trump bombed syria during dessert. putin wanted a relationship with the united states. the deep state made sure that never happened with the phony russia woe collusion stuff. he never would have tried taking ukraine we know this if trump were president. he would not dare. strength gets results. remember, it was because of trump that nato countries finally pledged to spend more money on their military. canada and mexico, they agreed

to revarp nafta because trump's team knew how to exercise leverage. do it from a position of strength. but now both our allies and our adversaries know that america is not looking out for america. so they don't respect us. we don't respect ourselves. ththey don't respect biden. they don't respect his top advisers either. he look at someone like a janet yellen nice old lady much more interested in sucking up to china than protecting her own country's economy. they look at tony blinken and see a small weak man easily pushed around. just a few days ago, a total snub by the saudi crowned prince. hue mill yaght blinken by making him wait several hours before he finally met with him at his farm residence. some of this might seem like small ball but in the world of diplomacy small gestures speak volumes presidents who are considered generally our best presidents have been able to

unite americans and defend our national interest. they had gravitas and were passionately pro-american. >> ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. [cheers] >> laura: in the 20th century, americans got used to the idea that the president would represent our interest in the world and would explain coherently the challenges that we all face. doing that would then inspire confidence. make us all more willing to sacrifice. actually excited to sacrifice, especially in the foreign policy arena where so much is at stake. but, unfortunately, the media and the unelected bureaucracy in washington they think having a figure head president is just fine. after all, it gives them more power and influence. this morning in israel, it looked like blinken was in charge.

but has tony blinken ever intimidated anyone in his life? look at jake sullivan the national security's comments about how things were really calm in the middle east a few weeks ago. under the best of circumstances and i'm saying the best of circumstances, we had a president and a cabinet able to assess the situation, this would be a really tough needle to thread. but, with this guy? >> i asked the secretary of state when he and i were working in the senate to write something for me. he wrote a line that i think is appropriate: he said it's not we lead -- not just -- well, i won't go into it. i will wait until later. i'm taking too much time. >> laura: oh my gosh, watching, this i'm thinking the poor israelis have had to stand to listen to this? haven't they suffered enough? and imagine what the press would say if a republican president injected himself into the middle of an unfolding crisis then referred to the barbaric

terrorists, who spurred -- sparred it on this way? >> deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in gaza yesterday and based on what i have seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you. but, there is a lot of people out there who are not sure. so we have got to overcome a lot of things. >> laura: was he sleeping? the other team? they would crucify trump if he said anything like that. if he acted that way. in fact, the global chaos though that we are seeing under biden. remember, that is exactly what the regime media said when they predicted trump would create this madness around the world. >> president trump has essentially minute -- minimized or sum mated the idea of the u.s. as kind of the underpinning of a rules based international order. >> president trump we have had bad presidents before. bad foreign policy presidents, we have absolutely hit bottom

and it's frightening. >> donald trump is really ruining and destroying american foreign policy. >> yeah. well, what are we seeing around us now? peace and calm? are they breaking out all over the place when joe biden is president? we had peace when donald trump was president. buff now the middle east is on fire. ukraine is in the middle of a war. but, for reagan it was peace through strength. remember for biden it's chaos through weakness or actually that's much too much for him to remember. so,. >> my message to any state or any other hostile actor, thinking about attacking israel remains the same as it was a week ago. don't, don't, don't. >> laura: the presses as usual, dutifully campaigns and covers for him. >> the democratic president of the united states attempting to conduct diplomacy, attempting to be a peacemaker in the middle east. is he out there representing the united states of america. >> laura: and, of course, the historians open up a second line

of defense. >> president has now done this twice. he went to kyiv. this is a remarkable moment in the history of the american presidency for a president to go this soon into this kind of climate. >> joe biden went to both places in the middle of a war, risked his life to try to bring some order to the chaos. >> laura: the truth is and they all know it, biden did not go israel because he is strong. he went to israel because he is weak and he desperately trying to resurrect his failing presidency by playing peacemaker while most of the important players are just ignoring him. and that's the angle. all right, up next, hundreds of pro-palestinian protesters swarming the capitol building. the details next. ♪ but what happens when you need affordable health care? christian health care ministries could save you up to 40% today. as a member,

they may even be arrested and released. maybe not even given a fine or not even charged. versus what we have seen with right wing protests where people might be sent to prison. it is a very serious problem that we have two standards of justice in country. there is no reason why merrick garland and christopher wray could not be destroying these people's lives and putting them in prison and trying to keep them, you know, in prison for a very long time over the same charges that they did against j. 6 protesters which would be about parading inside a congressional building which is what they are doing here. >> laura: and, ari, rasheda tlaib actually whipped these people up into a frenzy beforehand and i'm thinking she is outside of the capitol. i'm thinking was that her ellipse speech? are they going to be treating her like, you know, incitement to take over the capitol like they did with trump and the january 6th? >> of course she did. this is what can you expect from the progressive elements inside

the democratic party. they're fundamentally anti-israel. and what's the real threat to democracy here? if these people had their way, the israeli democracy would be slaughtered. but, laura, i want to make some points about biden's trip over there. because he committed three blunders that have to be brought out to people's attention. when he said that israelis should not be consumed by rage? who the hell does he think he is? i sat in on every single summit meeting with foreign leaders when they came to the united states after september 11th and met with president bush. not a one of them, not one said to president bush the americans shouldn't be consumed with rage. instead they just came to support us. so president biden, who said some good things never should lecture israel about how to react like that. the second thing he did that was just horrendous was inside that statement when he talked about the other team, which is a weird way to put it, he talked about how it didn't appear that israel

bombed the hospital but then he said quote there's a lot of people out there who are not so sure. he is talking about the protesters in the streets in lebanon and jordan. why is he giving them any credence whatsoever? why is he even citing them as being a source that should be worried about? why doesn't he just say they're wrong, israel didn't do it and stop right there? the third is the $100 million. massive mistake. it's typical foreign policy establishment think. >> laura: i wish it was 100 million, 100 billion, ari, to your point, it's not just overseas protests that are getting out of hand. we are seeing in chicago something that looks like it's from beirut. doesn't look like chicago that i remember. but, mollie, this is what we're seeing now on our own streets, inthat fat that chants. anti-israel chants. your reaction to that, mollie, given the explosion of pro-palestinian propaganda on

tiktok and beyond. >> it's important to remember the vast majority of americans, for instance, do support israel. they are horrified by what they saw with this terrorist attack on civilians, women, children, people at a rave. there is this loud volume vocal minority, the issue is this loud vocal minority does have a lot of control over our academy, over colleges, over our media. they are also elected to congress in some cases and so it's really incumbent upon democrats like president biden to speak forcefully against some of these lies and misinformation that have been put out there about, for instance, this strike that was near the hospital apparently an accidental strike by palestinians who didn't intend to strike their own parking lot near the hospital. but it's important to get that information out because you have embassies being attacked. you have protests like this and have you rashida tlaib not being chastised in any way. biden hasn't said anything against her. neither has hakeem jeffries, neither has nancy pelosi. it's important that they hold

people to account. >> laura: she should be censured or frankly removed from congress, ari, because she is putting our service members in harm's way by her comments and nancy pelosi, hakeem jeffries would not condemn her comments. they wouldn't do it. that's how unified the democrats are. >> they need to be condemned. democrats need to do it. some of them are cooking it. i noticed senator john fetterman of pennsylvania criticized them and good for him. laura, i will disagree about throwing them out of congress. i have always believed in no how outrageous somebody does something it should be up to the people to do it. i would draw a line there that her constituents or somebody in the primary take her out. i would love to see congress sen suburb her and democrats speak out against her. they should. >> laura: i mean, you are seeing the wages of decades of university propaganda on the streets of chicago. mollie, ari, great to see both of you. all right. with another war in the middle east, it sure would be nice if

biden hadn't sold off most of our country's strategic petroleum reserve. what can consumers expect in the weeks and months ahead? the price of gas, the price of heating oil. the price of everything that comes to you by train or car or truck, next. ♪

♪ >> our strategic petroleum reserves is the largest in the world. it still is the largest in the world and we do have a plan. we will be buying more when we feel like it is best advantageous for the taxpayers. i'm not worried about the reserve levels at all. >> laura: that's right. nothing to see here, folks. we are just at 17-day supply in our reserves. that's the lowest level in 40 years. so what the heck is going on here? and we just given up on refilling it after biden used it to try to stem the losses in the last midterms? joining me now is david, chief investment officer of the vonson group. biden gained the spr for purely political reasons not an emergency. curb gas prices in the ukraine war broke out. but with this emergency that see are seeing now in the middle east, what danger, what are the people's danger because of the earlier draining of this? >> well, i think that now, if

you have a real emergency, you don't have the reserves that the entire purpose of them is for. they are going to be gone. we had 650 million barrels, laura. they took 300 million barrels. so basically about half. and they did it when there was no real emergency involving us and it was a price shock as you said in a midterm election. that's the whole reason they did it. the problem now is that if this middle eastern escalation goes on for a long period of time those price also go over $100 a barrel that will create a recession and they won't have the reserves to fall back on. you have the whole world shut down with covid in 2020. and we still viewed the spr as something that was really there for an extreme type emergency. now you have the biden administration that's treated it like a piggy bank to try to manipulate gas prices and i think the chickens are coming home to roost. >> laura: so, let's say that

they just let this go on for a while without refilling the reserves, then the price of gas goes up, goes higher, so the cost becomes exponentially worse for the american taxpayers. and we are still watching these protests on the street of new york city, by the way, david, that are going on now. just while we are doing this interview about the price of oil because of this brewing problem in the middle east and the spr draining some pretty boisterous protesters out there in chicago and new york tonight. david, yeah. so, this is now at a point where this is going to really cost us, but are they even going to bother trying to refill it? >> that's the point i want to make is what you suggest is not merely hypothetical. oil prices are 90 now, laura, they were at about $70 for most of this year. they were between 68 and 72. do you know how many barrels they bought? in eight months? three million barrels out of 300 million. so, they sold 300 million last

year and they had oil prices down $25 a barrel. and they bought 1 percent of them back. now oil prices have come back to 90 and could very well be back at 100. so i do not believe the administration has any intent to refill them because inevitably about they do that, it puts pricing pressure the other way. they have given full control to opec plus. we lose our energy independence because of the attacks on the oil and gas industry and now this. so no energy independence and no real desire to refill those reserves. unbelievable. david, thank you. >> thanks, laura. >> laura: and biden confirms his new foreign policy doctrine and mickey mouse new business partner. raymond arroyo has it all "seen and unseen," next. ♪

no organization helps holocaust survivors and the elderly jewish people as much as they do. valeria is saying that, she didn't receive love her whole life. you seem so full of love, and not of hate. just $25 helps to rush a food box to a holocaust survivor. i hope you'll join me at the international fellowship of christians and jews. we can do something to relieve their suffering. please, do something now.

>> laura: time for "seen and unseen" the stories behind the headlines with raymond arroyo. on monday we suggested that biden had declared a new foreign policy document. >> which he rampled off during a "60 minutes" interview. we made the doctrine formal today. >> my message to any other hostile actor remains the same

as a week ago. don't. don't! don't! >> [laughing]. we could have put it down to one don't. biden 24, don't, don't, don't. >> laura: and something else biden said today. >> the vast majority of palestinians are not hamas. hamas did not represent the palestinian people. >> what is he talking about? they won 76 seats of 132 in 2006. the last time they had an election. the majority of palestinians wanted this terrorists organization and hamas is successful. today because they blew up their own hospital stopped jordan and egypt from meeting with the president. so far they are running the

narrative. that has to end. >> laura: well, he was so convincing overseas. president biden. he had jet lag. his speech tomorrow night. at least he will have the teleprompter. >> the president is spending billions on the war in ukraine and israeli. mickey mouse is fattening the unscene force behind this. china has a deal with tiktok for fans to engage in disney music, video games, luring children to hand over their personal information to the chinese communist making disney a bundle. this is horrendous. >> laura: it was four years ago that mike pompeo said if you are watching this and you are a parent delete it from your phone and throw away the phone.

you can't even have your phone. get a new phone after downloading that. glad to see one politician, raymond, is taking a stand on this. governor sarah huckabee in arkansas is throwing the chinese out of her state. watch. >> i am announcing that a chinese state owned chemical company must give up its lands holdings in arkansas. they own 160 acres using for seed research. seeds are technology. chinese state owned corporations filter that technology back to their home land. stealing american research and telling our enemies how to target american farms. >> [applauding]. >> laura: good for huckabee. i am glad she made that stand. >> there is the arkansas law

that forbids china from owning land in their state. this should be a national law. we should not have china gobbling up lands across the country and disney better get wise too. the chinese influence is another reason why the republicans should wear sackcloth and ashes for failing to elect a speaker. today jim jordan lost two votes to become speaker. 22 republicans voted against him and congressman dave joyce of pennsylvania will introduce legislation for the speaker pro tem and make patrick mchenry speaker with full powers. this is a ruinous idea. >> laura: he is the favorite canada on wall street.

he is pro-china. he's been a real advocate for more american businesses to go to china. that's a problem when china is working against us in ukraine and in the israeli conflict. i don't get this at all. >> he hasn't been elected. he was appointed by kevin mccarthy. you need somebody elected by the full house. you can't change the rules. he is third in line for the president. the house speaker controls all of the business. the schedule, bills and money for the country. this is too important to not have the full house vote. put a canada forward and the gop is denying the american people a branch of government. this has to end. >> laura: we are looking at protests across the country in new york city. they are growing. also in chicago where the

protesters are growing louder and bigger. to look at these scenes, raymond, this is something you would expect in the middle east. i don't know. you don't expect it in the united states of america. saint paul, minnesota. >> they are responding to hamas. they called for protests. you are seeing them. this is reveal asking troubling. >> laura: the propaganda works. we have 80,000 somalias in saint paul. raymond, thank you very much. stay connected with us. follow me on social media. thanks for watching. it's america now and forever. jesse watters takes it from here. >> ♪ ♪
