>> again, the extremism is unbelievable, elise.sm that has been revved up by, whether you're talking about the nra or other gun owners of america saying, you know, red flag laws are somehow against the second amendment. that's a lie. you know what the second amendment says? it says what the court said it said in heller in 2008, which is, you have a right to have a handgun in your home. you have aight to have a shotgun in your home to protect yourself. that's your constitutional right. outside of that, it's up to the states. it's up to the people. >> what i find so upsetting is just that these guns are so -- they can kill so many people without stopping to reload. that's just a function of what we allow to be on the market. you end the high volume magazines, and you end at least as much of the slaughter as quickly, and you at least give the cops a chance to come in. some of these guns that are used, you can't even buy a vest over the commercial market that's going to protect. it'll just pierce the armor. it's sick. it's disgusting.

here in the studio with me has been elise labott.here gives you some idea of the extent of hamas's infiltration across the border from gaza into southern israel. these are 17 locations where we have verified the presence of palestinian militants in this attack. from up in space, this is what that area of southern israel looked like today. just look at all that smoke coming from burning buildings. if we zoom in you can see the heat spots that we've enhanced so you can see them. now, all these cross—border infiltrations by palestinian militants taken together with the thousands of rockets fired at israel represent a massive intelligence failure from israel. it should have seen this coming because they had regular military patrols going along that border. this is footage taken some years earlier. but they had cameras, sensors, informants inside the militant groups. and yet hamas was able to charge through that border, crossing it with things like this bulldozer, paragliders, by land, sea and air, and all the while, hamas has been sendin

i do think that that was something i was struck by, but my understanding at least around elise stefanikt the fact that she's new to leadership. certainly one of the republican operatives i spoke to made a note of the fact that there might be some kind of unofficial glass ceiling, a few republican operatives who used to work in the republican conference, talked about how you've never seen a woman rise above the position stefanik is right now. previously it was held by liz cheney, kathy mcmorris rogers. i asked about the fact that there were no women vying for the speakership. she kind of shook that off. i think the larger point here is that the women may not have seen an upside in this, and that's what several experts actually told me as i dug into this yesterday. i believe one of the women who runs a pac that's dedicated to electing more women to the ranks of congress said that the women are too smart. no offense to the eventual speaker but they're too smart to want this job, and it's something that i was joking about, but it's kind of hard to reason outside of that too because this is

hezbollah from expanding they're incursions, the houthis in yemen, i was just discussing that with elisey groups, iran, what do those look like? how do we possibly contain an explosion in the middle east? >> so, you're obviously operating at several different levels. you have an immediate concern. the immediate concern is the people you're talking to, the leaders you're talking to, they're going to say here's what worries us. how can you address it? right now, obviously, they're saying we need to ensure that there is some humanitarian corridors for palestinians so that the pressure on palestinians, a public bid, as i was just saying, they had little use for hamas. how do you ensure that you minimize the death and destruction there? and it's going to be hard, given the nature of what gaza looks like. and i've spent a lot of time in gaza. this is not a place where fighting is easy or you can easily ensure that civilians aren't going to be the victims of this. but that's one level of concern. the second level of concern, especially for the civilians will be that were concerned about that, b

we assume there will be a nominating speech perhaps from elise stefanik, she's been doing this in thet will hear from maybe pete aguilar on the other side. >> that's my expectation, andrea. pete aguilar has done -- i'm trying to think now, 16 of 17 of the necessary nominating speeches for hakeem jeffries. i know he enjoys it a great deal, and democrats have enjoyed it up to this point the opportunity to present the far more unified face to the country in these speakership elections and kind of use these speeches ostensibly nominating jeffries but also to find whoever the opponent is, in this case mike johnson. i'll be curious to see if aguilar takes the opportunity to attack or undermine johnson today in the same way that he did with jim jordan last week. >> and just briefly, steve kornacki the magic number is now five. >> so the one thing is you saw they took the quorum call down, there were still three democrats missing. that one republican is over in israel. that's 220 republicans, and that would be 209 democrats, 429 and you need 50% plus one, so if that is the number who end up v

elise stefanik is one of trump's closest allies in the house. impeachment. but he hasn't mentioned that yet. the first thing the bring up resolution support of israel and he said his next priority was going to be dealing with the border crisis. he has to, the first short term crisis on his hands is this. looming government shutdown, and we'll see where he goes from there. but we don't know a lot about where he is is a leader, because this is a very inexperienced rank and file member arising to this position and the extraordinary thing that would, that no one would ever have guessed that you can become speaker like. this >> is a sign of times that the fact that you did mention impeachment proceedings against the sitting president as a hopeful sign on day one. that wasn't mentioned in the first 24 hours of his new job, but that's a sign of hope. any county, thank you for other great reporting and analysis. i appreciate your time tonight. when we come back, ten american hostages are believed to be held by hamas and gaza. so how is the white house t

joining us is a former aide to the george bush white house, elise jordan.n trump try to use grievances to rally his base? >> so far. he didn't have to come to court in new york city and he decided it was to his political advantage and he showed up and he got a ton of media, and it doesn't matter if it's bad, so it's a political win for him. >> he is claiming he was forced to show up in new york. he wasn't. but i wonder how closely his supporters are following his court cases? >> well, i mean, they are following it. but, remember, they are following it from the perspective with trump as their hero who has been aggrieved by the retched deep state justice department. this only helps donald trump in a republican primary, and that's why since the indictments he's grown his primary lead to unprecedented levels. the problem with the trials, however, is that it's kryptonite. it's for independent voters, and certainly democratic voters, and anybody who is not the baked-in trump base, sees the trial for what they are, further evidence of a person that hangs under a c

host: this leadership representative elise stefan nick, a member of leadership now saying the pool of initially nine is four. byron donalds, mike johnson, kevin hern. caller: there should be a litmus test to help out one way or the other and that test is no one who voted to dessert file the 2020 election should be anywhere near the speaker's house. they are trying to ensure that we have an autocracy instead of democracy. i have no problem with democrats working across the aisle or the republicans working across the aisle. but those who dessert filed, they are antidemocratic and violated their oath by voting against who won a free and fair election. and that's my opinion. host: new york is where tina is joining us on our independent line. caller: i pride myself on listening to both sides. when this kevin mccarthy back tracking on how he felt about the 2020 election and everything goes back to this. the speaker issue is just one of them. the republicans need to take back their party and stop being afraid of whatever they are afraid of and start serving the american people. we are watchi

here's republican lawmaker elise stefanik before the vote. >> house republicans and speaker mike johnson will never give up. today is the day we get this done. may god bless our next speaker, mike johnson. may god bless the united states of america. and i yield back. >> and she was right. what do we know about johnson? he's relatively new to congress, his fourth term. he's never been the chairman of my committee, vocally anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage. he promised his fellow lawmakers a, quote, new form of government. let's take a live look at the house chambers. that is hakeem jeffries. he is speaking before they officially swear in johnson. johnson also an instrumental part of contesting the 2020 presidential election, refusing to certify biden's win as well. so, we are talking about unity being very surprising, and also the candidate. he is very conservative, even for some republicans. >> okay. took us some time to get here, but now we can actually move things along. they have a lot on their plate. >> congress can move forward. the house couldn't do anything until it had a speaker.

down the list we have elise who has only recently become a member of house leadership. i don't know if enough republicans would trust her either. what we will see happen is a number of different people all floated on ballots -- we will probably see mccarthy's name put back on their by his supporters as well. it could go on for several days like it did in january. >> never a dull moment. thank you very much for joining us. we appreciate your clear analysis. director of the political managing program at george washington university, thank you so very much indeed. well, developments on the situation regarding mccarthy's tenure as the house speaker, expected to come to an end in the coming hours. next, hunter biden has ended a not guilty plea this tuesday to three firearms charges. the son of joe biden could face trial in 2024 as his father is campaigning for another mandate in the white house. biden junior lied about his drug use in october 2018 on a form while he was buying a gun. he spoke in court to confirm he understood the charges. hunter biden's lawyer said in court,

i would keep my eyes on elise stefanik. she's got the conference chair title so she's got a big staff behind her. she's a big fundraiser. donald trump likes her. keep your eyes on steve scalise. the person who would make the most sense is someone like a patrick mchenry, he's an institutionalist, he knows how to count votes, let's just keep the ship running. i don't think that's what it's going to be. and donald trump has remained silent on all this, or largely silent. i think at some point he's going to have to put his finger on the scale of who it's going to be there, and they're going to spend the next week rather than doing the people's business, jockeying for that endorsement. >> we've all said it a million times, the house is shut down. they're not going to do anything. >> no impeachment inquiry continues. you can't have declarations of war. these are big things. it is interesting, and i want to mention here that we are waiting any moment the former speaker of the house, kevin mccarthy to speak to reporters. the way ma

i even asked elise stefanik but she's not interested. some others can do it as well so i'm not as worried about that but they understand the urgency of our fiscal ship. we are taking in $5 trillion per year and spending $7 trillion. i don't care who's on the white house, that's wrong. as you know, our credit rating was recently knocked down a notch and that has only happened , that's the second time it's happened and they said the reason was leadership, maturity in the leadership and fiscal responsibility. they said that's over the last 20 years. that cuts both ways, that's both parties. host: other than spending, what is your criteria for the next speaker to get your vote? guest: i think they need to have -- it sounds kind of trendy -- but i think they need to have a vision of where the country is going and it's not to put proposals up on the wall and see which one can get the most votes. that's not principled and it's not smart and that's not what our country needs. we need someone who understands the game and is not afraid to go negot

. >> reporter: the infinity elise bought online was flagged as a stolen when she tried to register it , one of 15,000 cars reported stolen in new york city last year. >> you still have the keys? you could drive attentively, but you're not allowed? >> no. they market is stolen, the detective told us not to drive it anywhere, because if they were to see it, we will get arrested. >> reporter: it has sat in her driveway more than a year. >> you on a stolen car you cannot drive? >> correct. >> reporter: nypd tells us the investigation remains active and ongoing, but we found statistically it is unlikely her case will ever be solved. a cbs news analysis of more than one dozen u.s. cities found the vast majority of these cases are going unsolved. in san francisco last year, nearly 8000 car thefts were reported. that same time period, police solved 441 cases, a clearance rate of 6%. >> either property crimes, and law enforcement resources are generally understaffed, we hear that over and over. >> reporter: started our reporters across the country, who asked law enforcement in their communitie

. >> elise stefanik announced tom emmer has been announced to be house speaker. it is reported he got 117 votes, 2178 are needed to become house speaker. congressman emmer called for a roll call vote in the conference to help him figure out if he can get close to the 217 that he needs to be house speaker. it should be noted congressman emmer voted to certify the 2020 election of representative johnson who was his last challenger in this round voted against certification. the house now in recess with the floor vote on house speaker expected later today. as always, you can watch live coverage when members gavel back in here on c-span. >> if you ever miss any of c-span's coverage, you can find it online at c-span.org. key hearings and debates and other events feature markers that guide you to news interesting worthy highlights and these markers appear on the right-hand side of your screen when you hit "play" on videos. and this time line lets you get an idea what was decided or debated in washington. scroll through and spend a few minutes on c-span's points of inter

my eye on elise stefanik, an ambitious, talented, and trump loyal conference chairwoman who could try to go for that position. kevin hern is also someone who could go for that position. he was considering a run for speaker. he's head of the republican study committee. more perhaps of a fresh face. more recent member of congress. there could be a very big race for majority leader. there are a number of positions such as deputy. controls the calendar. play as major role in deciding the direction of the conference. host: what is the mood of the republican party after emerge interesting that closed door meeting today? eric: i think they are still divided. jim jordan himself coming out of steve scalise's office. divided conference. there are people who certainly felt that rushing to the floor today for a speaker vote was inappropriate. they want to get their bearings and see what their move s scalise is looking to that and decide the not to quickly rush for a vote. there is a lot of scrambling. a lot of sense of can they finally come together? we have a big test for the new speaker whoever

earlier, i spoke to elise labbott, ceo and founder of zivvy media, a digital platform engaging the genhe has covered the israeli—palestinian conflcit. is to have anyone. i want to stop with this announcement that president biden will be heading to israel this weekend. what do you make of that? it is obviously to show support for israel, unequivocal support that the us is standing by its ally. it is also a message to iran, hezbollah, do not even think of getting involved because the us has israel's back. i would also say that as he is going tojordan and meeting with king abdullah and the egyptian president and that is about the humanitarian situation in gaza and i think what president biden is trying to do right now is hug the israelis close and show the us is on their side, to have that leverage on how this ground offensive is undertaken and to try and have leverage over the israelis as they do this to be mindful of the humanitarian situation in gaza and keep an eye on the day after, remind him that israel was working towards a full integration into the region and preserving space for
