the white house, these were frank comments from a key ally for israel.a: indeed, this is an escalation of the criticism of netanyahu as israel prepares for the next phase of its operation in gaza directed at rafah which is a border region with egypt. that is likely to be problematic given that hundreds of thousands of palestinians have fled to that area. as instructed by the israeli government during the early weeks of the war. biden expressed concern about those operations, saying he would not support any offensive that does not take into account civilian casualties. this is underscoring rising tensions between israel and the u.s. that have surfaced in recent months and more recently with israel's objections to the hostage deal and pretty much a lot of the u.s. proposals. tom: we have seen antony blinken on the ground in the region this week trying to nail down that potential cease fire. netanyahu rejecting that this week. where does that leave the israeli leader? dana: netanyahu is already in a tough spot. he is trying to tread a narrow path between ke

frank. >> all right. let's talk about money. the white house has requested 75 billion dollars for the wars in ukraine israel. this next question is for all of you. should there be a cap on how much the u.s. spends on ukraine and israel. ms lee will start with you. yes, 30 seconds. >> there should be accountability. u.s. taxpayers deserve to know that their tax dollars are going for a purpose, which ensures that there's accountability and transparency. it is very important. also to make sure that all of our international laws are complied with in terms of the rules of engagement with regard to countries that are engaged in warfare and the ukrainian people deserve our support. putin, of course, is trying to my dismantled democracy in ukraine. eastern europe is not disconnected to what donald trump has tried top tried to do in terms of toppling our democracy here in america. and so i don't believe that we can say there should be a cap, but there should be accountability. ms lee, thank you very much. mister garvey. same question. should there be a

and it was just literally hours that frank little was dragged from his house and murdered. and in the aftermath of that and the aftermath of frank little's murder, allies of the anaconda copper company pushed for the creation of a state law that would make that sort of speech illegal. and in 1918, montana, a sedition act which made it illegal basically to criticize the government or criticize the war and just not long after that, the national government passed own sedition act, which was basically a copy of montana's state sedition act, again making it illegal to to speak out against the war, criticize war or the government. one of the worst incursions of civil liberties and free speech in american history. and hundreds, thousands of people were arrested under those laws, lives ruined. and that sort of thing. so, so this these free speech fights inaugurated a series of discussions about free speech in america that did not existed on that level before, both from people who were concern about speech about you, what speech could be allowed, and people who were concerned about w

house signing off on the multibillion tax package offering benefits to businesses as well as parents emily wilkins is joining us now with more on the story emily, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, frankbillion tax package with the benefits for businesses passed the house last night with strong bipartisan support despite having some opposition from both republicans and democrats. this proposal would allow for full expensing for research and development and immediate deductions for capital expansion. these provisions were part of the 2017 tax law, but they expired in recent years. this would allow companies to claim those deductions on the 2023 filings it also expands the child tax credit, not to the level during the pandemic, but it will allow for a fundable tax credits to help poorest families. business round tables are pushing lawmakers to pass the legislation as soon as possible to help small businesses that didn't realize the tax benefits lapsed republican blake moore saying not bringing the breaks back would hurt small businesses. >> never have i seen neighbors of mine say this is killer for my small business. losing the r&d tax credit has destroyed the ability to grow my small b

conclusion about the president and reporters in the white house briefing room have asked questions that include false content or are based on false premises. frank white house wants to go down this road, and is it dangerous given that this president has said that he would have hands off the doj? >> you know, it's really just part of this ongoing weaponization of the justice system. we see it with this 4th amendment -- 14th amendment to keep president trump off the ballot, and we're seeing it now with a very clearly politicized doj. listen, you can't be both incompetent to stand trial and competent enough to be the commander in chief at the same time. and i for one am one that believes inning obviously, protecting classified information. i've had a security clearance since i was 20 years old. these are not just documents, they're sources, methods, america's secrets that need to be protected, but there is clearly a two-tiered system of justice occurring here. jacqui: we're running out of time, but i want to get your response, ari, and and i also want to note i did read the report, it is 400 pages long, and it doesn't say the president was too feeb

. >> if you watch "house of cards" you know frank underwood would never -- you really need to count theeven if it got a majority in the house and articles of impeachment was met. it was almost certainly going to fail. again, emily makes a really important point here, this always seemed more like political vengeance than actual real governance here. the president and the executive have broad authority to control the border. not unlimited or unfettered authority, but broad authority here. and there's no indication that a simple difference in policy preferences would rise to the level of the high crimes and misdemeanors that typically are contemplated for impeachment. we have talked a lot about what high crimes and misdemeanors means in the context of impeachment over the years, but we know at the very least it is not simply a difference of opinion about public policy. >> and emily, i wonder what you think of the way the republicans sort of overplayed this. because a more reasonable or policy based approach would resonate with large parts of the country. some immigration policies are contr

talking later with reporters and also on the lawn of the white house, exactly after the meeting with biden, johnson called the meeting frankthat biden even held separate negotiations in the format, but his position has not changed, first he says the needs of america, and this... president biden told the leaders of congress that right now it is necessary to give ukraine more money. i think that every day the consequences of inaction for ukraine disappointing. house speaker mike johnson, who refused to hold a new vote on ukraine funding, was pressured by everyone in the room, including his fellow republican leader. we must take care of america's needs. when we talk about america's needs, we must first talk about our vulnerable border. president biden and house speaker johnson also had their first tat-tat conversation. both say they are optimistic that congress can reach a deal, but time is running out. sumer also told the speaker that history was looking over his shoulder, and he would regret it if he did not accept funding for ukraine. u.s.a. this is very, very important, and we cannot afford to wait a month or two or 3 mon

frank sessions. let me be clear this morning, the republican-led house will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign aid bill that was opposed by most republican senators and does nothing to secure our own border. it's time for washington to show some love to americans. on valentine's day. we need to listen to the american people and their needs and take action. that's why house hraordship will continue to govern with american interests at heart. with that ill a take questions -- i'll take questions. questions. a reporter: last night there was about a nine-point swing from republican to democrat in new york 3. does that mean that house republicans have a challenge in keeping the majority? and what should house republicans do? mr. johnson: the result last night is not something in my view that democrats should celebrate too much. think about what happened there. they spent about $15 million to win a seat that president biden won by eight points. they won it by less than eight points. their candidate ran like a republican. he sounded like a republican talking about the border and immigration because e

a forum where the senate can look into all the valid and interesting questions that frank has raised about which house members, which senate members were told about his lack of credibility that they couldn't confirm it. and get into those details, what did they know about the source of his information. all of that could the just be another example of what molly said. this is the gang that cannot impeach. but this is kind of the thing where they actually need to have people stop digging if you're on the republican side because they really got caught with their hand in the cookie jar here. so i think there's between a lot of rhetoric, fox news, and other forms, but i think the last thing they actually want is an investigation into something that many republicans seem to fear, which is the facts. >> i need not remind you that this is not just about the impeachment that james comer desperately wants to prosecute against president biden. this is also about russian interference in past and future elections. you think about the mueller investigation proved russians tried to meddle in if the 2016 election. in
