congressional correspondent aishah hasnie is on capitol hill with that. od evening, aishah. >> good evening to you, bret. congressman jamaal bowman has for a very long time repeatedly claimed that he was in a big rush to get to the votes in the house floor when he pulled that fire alarm and wanted to get through the doors. but new video that fox news has obtained is really putting that story into question and now the new house speaker is weighing into all of this. take a look at this video for yourself. can you see bowman here casually walks up into the cannon rotunda emergency doors. he then takes down warning signs on those doors, and then pulls the fire alarm and walks away. he does not appear to be in a rush. and this happened as you will remember when democrats were trying to stall a vote on a g.o.p. bill to fund the government. well, we caught up with the congressman and while he has been very, very chatty before. did he not want to talk to us today. >> it's in the past, man. litigated and resolved. you still talking about this? >> it looks like. >>

first, we head to the hill where aishah hasnie is standing by. she's reporting live on this. i, sandra. i just was told that house republicans will take an internal closed door test vote on jim jordan at about 3:10 this afternoon. so just about 15 minutes they'll get back together inside a conference room and take a test vote to see if he has the 2017 needed to take this to the floor and do an official speaker vote. in the meantime, a lot of pressure is intensifying on house republicans as the israeli hamas war continues to go on. i can tell you house foreign affairs chairman, michael mccaul, was just at the white house. he's now racing back to capitol hill to make this test vote that's about to happen. he was basically discussing with the national security council about a possible aid package for israel, which of course would need a house speaker, if that was going to happen. i'm told that mccaul basically asked to beef up all of the different funds, all of the buckets that the president has the ability to draw down from. that includes increasing the cap to the special defens

aishah hasnie has more. hi, aishah. >> hi, sandra.eaker johnson is in for a big spending battle with the senate. but first, he has to get this stand-alone aid package through the house. he's going to face some stiff opposition not just from democrats but conservatives in his own party. johnson is going to bring a $14 billion stand-alone aid package for israel to the floor this week to offset the cost of that $14 billion that he wants to cut $14 billion fromtism rs funding in the democrats inflation reduction act. here he is, sandra, just moments ago explaining exactly that in an exclusive sit down view with kayleigh mcenany . >> how is it going to be paid for? >> we're going to be releasing that shortly. my desire in the first draft is to take some of the money set assign for the billing and bulking up the irs. they have $67 well in that found and trying to 14.necessary for this immediate and urgent need. we'll deal with the rest later. >> some house conservatives may not be interested in this. before the text came out, thomas massey

welcome to "fox news live," i'm aishah hasnie in with mike. mike: i'm mike emmanuel.he civil order breaking town in gaza as we enter the war's fourth week. we have fox team coverage with jennifer given at the pentagon, greg palkot and trey yingst in israel. trey, let's start with you for the latest on the ground operations in gaza. good afternoon. >> reporter: mike, good afternoon. the israelis continue their ground operations inside gaza, still describing this as an extended raid. but with we do know there are forces on the ground despite if it being nightfall. earlier today the we saw those israeli tanks and troops inside the strip. here's what it was like. as fighter jets roar overhead, you can see israeli forces operating inside the gaza a strip. the israelis are working at this hour to the the to soften their target from the ground and from the sky. the level of destruction inside gaza is significant. the neighborhood behind me completely destroyed. you can see the mosques and buildings inside gaza reduced to rubble. as israel continues their ground and is air ca

aishah hasnie.ake of your fellow floridian congressman gaetz and what he wants to do get rid of kevin mccarthy as speaker. >> again i think matt gaetz has laid out a clear example of areas that could have been improved. i think that we should have 12 appropriation bills on the floor to avoid a cr we knew the deadline september 30 is not a floating holiday so we knew we had to get there before the american people saw shutdown. not try to come together with the democrats on the clean cr which many of us not just matt gaetz and members of the freedom caucus but 90 of us came together to oppose the cr. not gates and others i cannot speak on behalf of them are my other colleagues they feel the negotiation of the democrats on the clean cr was a violation of an agreement and the lack of getting the 12 appropriation bills on the floor was a failure to leave the conference. i would argue doing a motion to vacate will prevent us from achieving our goal we have 43 days left to get appropriation bills and witho

aishah hasnie joins us.ublicans met in private this morning trying to figure out a speaker. anything come of it? >> reporter: yes. stuart, good morning to you. it looks like they're going to break for a few hours and come together again around 1:00 this afternoon to meet again in conference and perhaps take a vote within the conference on jim jordan before they actually go to the house floor. we don't know if there will be an actual house or speaker vote today. there are a few members that are out both on the democrats' and republicans' side, so we wait to see what happens with that. just something very important to point out, if we don't have a house speaker, the house and the senate cannot move towards sending any more aid to israel, and we are expecting the president to request more aid as early as a next week although senator marco rubio did say this week that there are some funds already available for israel right now that the president can draw down from are. >> they are guaranteed every year $3 billio

check in with congressional correspondent aishah hasnie. good evening, aishah.conference meeting, right? >> hey, bret. good evening to you. that's right. and kevin mccarthy just walked into that meeting and fox was able to ask him on his way in how he is feeling. he actually said he is feeling great. but when he was asked if he is going to put his name back into this speakership that he did not answer. this is going to be a very ugly meeting. we can only imagine. a lot of folks are mad right now. and it's unclear if they are going to convince kevin mccarthy to try again. in this moment i can tell you it is very doubtful that he can really say or do anything to move some of these seven or 8, excuse me, republicans that voted to oust him. in my conversations, they seem to have moved on. bret, the g.o.p. is going to need someone who can unite this very, very divided conference. someone who can gain 218 votes. someone who can help fund raise for these vulnerable republicans that are up next year. and someone who can pass a budget in the next 45 days. we have been he

. >> "the big weekend show" begins with fox news alert, i'm guy benson with sara carter and aishah hasnie will cain, through threats from israel against iran, israel is preparing for a ground offensive in gaza to take down hamas, telling those in northern gaza to move south during the time window where they will hold operations, but idf said hamas is stopping palestinians from evacuating. >> part of t the evacuations are call for people to evacuate north of the gaza strip to safeguard human life, we're seeing a huge movement of people from north to south, despite the fact that hamas tried to prevent it. but physically and in messages. >> hezbollah carrying out n neuhnew missile strikes in northern israel. the terrorist organization in lebanon has been a direct proxy for the iranian regime, now they appear to use their puppet group to expand their own involvement in israel's defensive war, reporting a huge earthquake if israel moves forward with a ground offensive against hhamas. today administration finally, partially acknowledging that iran might be involved in the terror attacks over a

aishah hasnie is following at all. mccarthy is out, so the question is who is in?reporter: there are a bunch of names being floated including majority leader steve scully's. a little bit of coalescing around him but that's not to say kevin mccarthy's name wouldn't be brought up again by his loyalists. i was able to ask him last night what would happen if he was tossed into this race again. >> they have gone through so much, they are down in the conference, they will say they will keep voting for me. i think we should put the country first. >> reporter: not a clear answer yes or no either way. the house is paralyze to. it is in recess. we don't expect a speaker vote until next wednesday. acting speaker patrick mchenry walked by house to house chamber. didn't really get much of an answer, no one has any idea what is going on today or in the next couple days. the budget is due in 45 days, it is doubtful that they will. congress is paralyzed and matt gaetz not too worried about it. >> 45 days left until you have to pass a budget which is something you've been wanting t

them look juvenile and they are squandering taxpayer dollars and our time and most importantly as aishah hasnieeported, everything is at a standstill, there is no precedence for this. the answer is, it is likely unobtainable and doable that the existing subpoenas can be enforced, there that can be any oversight so basically all movement the house was achieving and demonstrating value and dedication to the american people, appropriate stewardship of funds, all that is frozen right now. it took 15 times for kevin mccarthy to get the speakership, how many times on the next one? he was voted in in january, they started in november. we are being ill served right now. >> kayleigh: jim jordan, steve scalise, excellent charges, you have to coalesce to one. >> dagen: matt gaetz wants a pedicure in public. what andy biggs is talking about, andy biggs knew the speaker kevin mccarthy might get ousted, regardless of what happened in the coming week. he knew if the speaker was ousted, to paraphrase what byron donalds was talking about, the appropriations bills would get tossed out of the window and funding t

congressional correspondent aishah hasnie is on capitol hill tonight with the latest. good evening, aishah. >> geographic to you, bret. the house reconvened in just about 30 minutes, and that is when we could finally see congressman matt gates move on this motion to vacate the speaker. >> speaker, do you think leader jeffries might help you out today? have you spoken with him? >> i have not spoken to jeffries or anybody else. i'm focused on getting our work done. >> house speaker kevin mccarthy says he will not ask democrats to save his job as florida republican congressman matt gaetz tries to remove him as speaker. >> speaker mccarthy -- >> if gaetz is successful it. would plunge the house into a spiraling search for a new speaker with lois than 45 days left to pass a new budget to fund the government. >> are you worried about throwing this institution into chaos? >> do you know what i think paralyzes us, continuing to govern by continuing resolution. >> gaetz says mccarthy broke promises made to house republicans when he turned to democrats over the weekend to pass a

aishah hasnie in the capitol in the thick of it. >> good afternoon to you. the house just adjourned and sent everybody home until at least friday. sort of an effort to cool everybody down. people are so dang angry here on capitol hill. anyone that is still walking around incredibly frustrated with what just happened yesterday. we do know at this point that there's a couple of names being floated for the next speaker. scalise is in, jordan is in. kevin hern, who is a chair of the largest republican -- largest group of republicans in this conference, he could be next. we're just awaiting an official announcement from his office. we do not expect a speaker vote until at least next wednesday at the earliest. all know congressman graves said the party is so divided and so angry that this could take awhile to figure out. >> look, there's scenarios that could go on for weeks. the first step is letting people go home, decompress a little bit. the second step is letting us come back together and i think before we have a single discussion about speaker, we've got to d

congressional correspondent aishah hasnie is live on capitol hill and some new involving congressman z, right? >> aishah: that's right, good afternoon to you, jacqui. so, matt gaetz says he had file a motion to vacate the speaker, it could happen today, the next couple of minutes, as the house reconvenes. he could also wait until members fly back, a bigger audience around 6:30 this evening when they take votes. we don't know until he finally does it. what is certain, jacqui, is that the speaker's gavel right now is really in the hands of democrats. why? because a motion to vacate needs a simple majority, and mccarthy has probably 200 republicans on his side. he says he's not going to court democrats but is on a media blitz as of late trying to make his case for why he should stay. >> matt has been going to democrats and offering them subpoena power which will just destroy any biden inquiry, impeachment inquiry we have if they would vote along with him because he would have to get the democrats to vote with him to remove the speaker. i just don't think it's good for the house, i don't

aishah hasnie, from of journalism perspective, what does contextualized and responsible coverage of the count look like? >> facts are facts. you have to report as happening on the ground. my question if you don't mind, i wonder how much, we keep hearing these readouts secretary of state talking to this country and that country and turkey and he's been on this to her, i want to know how far we are getting in terms of a regional partners together, egypt, jordan, qatar, turkey, leveraging security here somehow i don't know if we need to get rid of a bus in palestine who's been in really a nonexistent leader, how -- do we need to work to change the situation here? can it happen, is it too late? can we turn this situation around or are we looking at a situation or of place of no return? i would like to know how we are engaging and leveraging and what we are saying why are they stepping up? why is it egypt opening up borders to the south, why are they only allowing american citizens or dual nationals to come through? why are we putting more pressure on our partners? >> you have an up close an

congressional correspondent aishah hasnie has the story tonight live from capitol hill. od evening, aishah. >> good evening to you, bret. that, he is. for now, house members have been sent home, at least until tuesday to allow tempers to cool down. one member told me that last night some folks wanted to get into physical altercations with each other. this as republicans now try to figure out who can unite them. >> tonight, the race for a new house speaker is in full swing. republican majority leader steve scalise and house judiciary chairman jim jordan have officially entered the race. kevin hern the leader of the largest group of house republicans expected to follow suit. former president trump's name has also been floated. and as he walked into a new york city courtroom this morning. he didn't rule it out at first. >> a lot of people have been talking to me about speaker. all i will say is we will do whatever is best for the country. but then said his focus is on running for president. a speaker vote is not expected until next wednesday at the earliest. congressman garr

aishah hasnie is live on capitol hill. what's happening there today? h: well, not a whole lot except a lot of lawmakers running around trying to firing out what they are going to do next. the house is paralyzed, it cannot take up any legislative action and we are following names talked about for the next speaker. i can tell you that majority leader steve scalise has officially joined house judiciary chairman jim jordan in announcing that they are both running for the speaker's gavel. kevin hern, who chairs the largest group of conservatives in the republican conference has not made an official announcement yet but i think his colleagues have let the cat out of the bag, so waiting for an official word from his office. we do not expect a speaker's vote to happen, at least until next wednesday. that's the earliest, but congressman graves told me the party is so divided that it actually could take weeks to figure this out. >> i think the whole narrative of every member of existing leadership taking one step up is [bleep]. >> are there members -- >> it is go

david: aishah hasnie, thank you very much. as congress debates president biden's response to the devastating violence in the middle east and our border 2024 presidential hopefuls are speaking out on the war in israel, joy to be one of the presidential candidates north dakota governor doug burgum. forgive me. let me ask what's going on in israel. today is a very significant anniversary, 40 years ago was the bombing in beirut that we lost 220 marines and 18 sailors, civilians, et cetera. are we in danger of being drawn into a conflict that could lead to the death of americans in combat? >> great to be on with you, 40 years ago we had the tragic loss of lives we had a commander-in-chief that stood up and said it is my responsibility, this is on me. we have right now joe biden trying to have it both ways with the 10 billion release to iran in june, the 6 billion for the hostage deal not enforcing the oil sanctions on iran, were talking about the world's largest funder of terrorism and joe biden is to live in a fantasy of trying to

. >> aishah: aishah hasnie in for sandra myth. "america reports". so the chaotic scene was playing out at a senate hearing this morning as secretary of state antony blinken and defense secretary lloyd austin were making their case for congress to approve more aid to israel. you can see nearly two dozen protestors there were slamming the biden administration for funding what they say is the genocide of palestinians and accusing u.s. officials of being terrorists. meanwhile, at another hearing, fbi director christopher wray was delivering a dire warning about the growing danger of terrorism right here at home as a result of this war. >> we assess that the actions of hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we have not seen since isis launched the so-called caliphate several years ago. in just the past few weeks, multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against americans and the west. >> john: all of this as israeli ground forces are pushing deeper into hamas-controlled territory in gaza. new satellit

aishah hasnie is watching all that and live on capitol hill to bring us up to speed what's happening w. >> aishah: we are watching the classified briefing very closely, it's going to happen in a matter of hours. meant only for the members of the house foreign affairs committee. we are trying to gather information about it but the committee is very, very guarded about this. they won't even tell us who the briefers are going to be today. we do know this was scheduled before october 7th, but we are told that it will encompass iran, the israel attack and of course even more urgent, the recent attacks on u.s. troops in syria and iraq, from those iranian-backed groups, as fears in washington, bill, are growing urgently about the u.s. possibly having to get involved and dragged into this war if iran green lights its proxies to attack israel from all sides, you are seeing the pentagon move those carrier strike groups into the region. on top of that, the "washington post" is reporting the administration trying to come up with this contingency plan to e evacuate hundreds of thousands out of the

aishah hasnie on capitol hill is the speaker getting pushback from his own party from removing the ukraineack from senate republicans, there are plenty of those that would like to see the two tied together, what were looking at is the next spending battle between the house and the senate let's start with a house as you mention speaker johnson saying he's going to push this forward this week when they come back on wednesday, here he is explaining why he wants to separate the israel aid. watch this. >> there are a lot of things going on around the world that we have to address and we will but right now what's happening in israel takes immediate attention and we have to separate that and get it through. i believe bipartisan support for that and i'm going to push very hard for it. >> what's interesting johnson could bring over house democrats to his side but if the democrat-controlled senate that will be a problem because democrats over there in gop leader mitch mcconnell and half of senate republicans do support tying ukraine aid saying the conflict are all connected. >> we are facing threats

aishah hasnie join me from capitol hill. by the way, is anybody if else looking to jump in?all eyes are on kevin hearn right now. he hasn't made an official announcement. he's the chair of the republican study committee, and this is the largest group of house republicans. so he does carry some influence and weight. but apparently he's still making calls, personal calls, to even of these house members -- each of these house members to sort of gauge interest before he makes perhaps a similar splashy, big announcement like scalise and jordan. in the meantime, we aren't expecting an actual vote at the earliest until next wednesday. they're the all going to come back tuesday. they were sent home to sort of cool off, and congressman garrett graves told me yesterday he actually doesn't thinkable this is going to happen quickly, he thinks it could take several weeks. listen to in this. >> i believe that if we had gotten back together as a conference, you literally would have had physical ifaller the occasions in the room. there's raw feeling, animosity, i don't think there's consens

>> aishah hasnie speak with matt gaetz, the republican representative from florida.t's up to matt gaetz to oust kevin mccarthy. he said he wouldup the bar if there were reforms in any other areas. righted now anybody can move to vacate the floor against speaker johnson. that's the rule of the house. they approved that rules package in january. that's the rule of the road. until they change that, that holds over the head of mike johnson. >> neil: got it. thanks, chad. with us now, the former new jersey governor, president chapel candidate, chris christie what he makes of this. good to see you, sir. you called the speaker race and embarrassment. it's been settled today on mike johnson of louisiana. what do you make of it? >> look, i'm glad it's over. i'm glad there's someone that has the gavel. i don't know mike johnson very well. i don't think most americans do. even most people that are involved in the political world as i have been the last 15 years nationally. so look, i'm make my judgments on speaker johnson as he goes along. i'm glad there's a speaker so he can g

i'm aishah hasnie in for sandra smith. matt gaetz filed the motion to vacate the chair, could force a new vote as early as 1:30 today for house speaker if mccarthy's allies are not able to save him. >> john: the florida congressman says the recent spending battle and ongoing aid to ukraine says he is not representing republican interest in the house. and if he can convince enough gop members for the motion, he will be forced to rely on democrats. >> aishah: juan and chris are standing by, but first, off to capitol hill where senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is live with the latest. so, what are you hearing, where are the democrats at right now? >> good afternoon, aishah. when asked if he would still be speaking, kevin mccarthy said yes but concedes he loses if five gop members vote against him. it's about the math. >> tell me why you are so confident. >> i live in america. >> but this is a serious -- >> it is a serious question. ok, take the current situation out. have you ever come to me on no matter what y

. >> john: congressman, aishah hasnie, you know her well, is reporting she's got sources in the senate telling her there's a plan to potentially using charter aircraft to get 16,000 americans out of israel, may begin in the next 48 hours. what do you know about that? >> i have not heard too much on the actual operation itself but i do know that the minute you start seeing a potential counteroffensive or hezbollah kick in or other proximal issue groups kick in out of iraq and syria, that could put a damper on things, especially if they take indirect fire on the runway which would cause the aircraft to either one, do evasive maneuver or cancel the flight path in entirety. so i hope they can get in and get as many americans out as possible and hope we don't see the repeat in 2021 in afghanistan, where americans were left behind and abandoned by the administration. >> sandra: karine jean-pierre at the briefing earlier on the ongoing situation. listen. >> we know that so far 22 americans lost their lives and 17 remain unaccounted for. we know that these numbers are likely to increase in the

. >> john: to go back to a point a moment ago, aishah hasnie sent us a note, likeable member, nobody has anything bad to say about him. he's going to move a lot of bills the democrats are not going to like and i expect that this idea that nobody has an unkind word about him just may change as you point out. >> democrats say he's an extremist, but his goal as he said in his remarks in the house, he wants to shift the focus to pushing forward results and agenda items like the national debt, a big, tough policy position, and topic to take on. paul ryan tried to do it, not successful, it's not something you hear about a lot on the campaign trail, they are going to address the serious issue facing the country. we have a speaker, front row seat to history. >> john: thanks for hanging with us. we spent a lot of quality time together waiting. it happened. >> sandra: it happened. john, by the way, some news happening right now, i'm sure we'll have more coverage later of this. a judge has fined the former president, donald trump, $10,000 for violating a gag order again apparently the judge did
