israel doesn't need ceasefire. house republicans plan to do that, we will do it in short order and provide israel the aid to defend itself and free hostages and eradicate hamas which is a mission that must be accomplished all of this while we also work to ensure responsible spending and reduce the size of the federal government the pay for our commitment to friend and ally. we cannot waste any time getting israel the aid they need. we will take the a few questions. >> great discussions with tom --thomas, they understand the necessity of us getting our appropriations bills done and sent over and also the peril that israel is in. steve scalise mention forked on saturday we were in las vegas, we flew to the night to be with the republican jewish coalition. there was a gentleman that shared heroine firsthand accounts. he was a support worker in israel of things he saw with his own two eyes. i won't repeat them here because they are jarring because what they are doing to small children and pregnant women and the rest. i spoke with netany

house rein hit leader hakeem jeffries spoke on aid to israel and ukraine calling on republicans to work in a bipartisan manner. he criticized republicans for passing legislation that will likely fail in the senate. this is about 25 minutes. to process that lesson and continue to move partisan bills designed to advance right-wing ideology that has zero chance of ever being passed into law. should not play partisan political games with america's national security. we should not play partisan political games in the contexts of special relationship between the united states and israel, should not play partisan political games as it relates to our necessary effort to support the ukranian valiant courageous and brave stand against russian aggression. should not play partisan political games as it relates to the need to provide humanitarian assistance to palestinian civilians who may be in harm's way in gaza through no fault of their own. the time for extreme maga republican partisanship is over. the time for exroo is over. the time for extreme maga republican gamesmanship is over. it's time t

israel. republicans made a speech about the urgency it felt for israel. help for ukraine. both countries have seen their citizens tortured, murdered, raped. is in your mind any reason to make a distinction between these victims between these two countries? mr. jeffries: we must continue to urgently stand with israel and recognize that israel has a unique place in the world. as a jewish and democratic state in a homeland for the jewish people. the only one that exists in a very dangerous world in the context of centuries of the jewish people being ejected from countries, subjected to pain and persecution, and pogroms and across the horrors of the holocaust and unthinkable crime against humanity. and then the challenge is the only jewish state in the world faces now and has case faced for the last 75 years. so of course we have to view the urgent need to stand with israel through that very significant historical lens. we also need to make sure that we evaluate the importance of standing with ukraine through the lens of brutal aggression in europe and what that can lead to. a

israel. republicans in the house of representatives oppose new tranches to kiev. he military system in the northern gaza strip. this was stated in ttsakha. that night, the israeli air force carried out airstrikes on hamas targets, in particular, weapons warehouses were hit, and ground troops in the north of the enclave occupied a fortified stronghold where a strategic weapons production facility was located. after the conflict, israel will not appoint power in the gaza strip, advisor said benjamin netanyahu on foreign policy. at the same time, according to him, the hamas movement must be destroyed, and the enclave itself must be demilitarized and deradicalized. electricity at alshifa hospital in the gaza strip led to the death of 40 people in 6 days, including three newborns. this was stated by the palestinian ministry of health. now the medical complex is under siege by the idf. the humanitarian situation in the enclave continues to deteriorate. the world health organization said gas supplies only 10% of needed food supplies. them meanwhile, the arabic tv channel

israel. republicans are very dependent on security measures at the border between the united states and. thisan eternal problem, an eternal problem of american security, we remember that talking about this problem and the need to solve it in a big way led to the white house of donald trump, who is still successfully competing for the republican nomination, has a huge chance to to become the republican candidate for president of the united states, and of course, there are supporters of donald trump in the american congress, and among them is the new speaker, michael jordan. are doing everything possible to ensure that the trumpist line wins in american politics, but the question arises: who do they want to make weak in the eyes of the american voter, the republicans who are supporters of the former president of the united states, the current president of the united states, joseph biden, or the united states itself, this is very important question, because it is not only about how much ukraine in the next difficult and exhausting years. confrontation with russia federation, will it be possible

this is republicans playing politics with aid to israel. we take a lot of meetings in these -- in these chambers and, you know, some of the meetings people have talked with us about adding conditions to aid with israel and we have always resisted that and here we see republicans doing just that. the speaker could have started out his tenure in a very different way. he could have -- we could have sent 400, we could put 400 people on support of a bill to send aid to israel. he chose not to do that and politicize those efforts, it's wrong and it's dangerous. the democratic caucus will not support that the and we are strongly in opposition of this because we feel that a bipartisan emergency supplemental will come from the senate that looks out for allies and friends but does in a responsible way that doesn't set a terrible precedent for national security. >> that bill will include border security policies and speaker johnson said that it is intention to pair ukraine aid with border security, are you concerned about that? >> i think you're givin

republicans in the senate, despite ran paul and lindsey graham voting for an ambassador to israel, republicansed against it, mike johnson, new speaker of the house tying funding to israel, i do think there's a contrast, that poetic tight rope and stability the biden administration is providing. griff: we saw this week the administration came out of nowhere announcing a first-ever initiative terrain in islam phobia. the administration should stand against hatred but the timing all of a sudden with the out-of-control anti-semitism across the country and around the globe, to do an initiative on islamohphobia. >> i thought it was tone deaf. when we are seeing a rise in anti-semitism we haven't seen in decades with jewish students hiding in a library and police saying we can't guarantee your safety, you need to hide in the attic, this is happening on president biden's watch. we've not seen a rise in anti-semitism like this in a long time and i think one of the things we need to keep in mind is this is related to the defund the police efforts, the entire biden administration, this is due to the open

americans overall, just 50% in each case supported mobile aid to israel and more aid to ukraine, the partisan split was dramatic. republicans were the ones that supported aid to israel's and they were about evenly split. on the other hand, democrats supported aid to ukraine about 3-1 and most republicans opposed it, so it is complicated to get there, and it may not be possible to get there just by joining the two issues, it may require biden to also make concessions, which, by the way, the white house maybe inclined to do, to republicans, on changing some of the rules about asylum and other ways trying to secure the southern border. it is possible that a three- quarter agreement about israel, ukraine, and dealing with the border packaged broadly is enhancing u.s. security against threats around the world might be the way out of this. >> ron, we know that u.s. secretary of state antony blinken has just been in israel for a trip, appealing for a humanitarian pause to the fighting in gaza, to allow aid in. that, as we just heard, has been rebuffed by benjamin netanyahu, he says it's contingent upon the release of hostages. is

when you talk to lawmakers and policymakers in washington, d.c., even those very supportive of israel, republicans and democrats say that the idf is not doing enough to prevent civilian casualties in gaza. >> i would say they are still not please d that things are no up to the standards that we would expect or hope. we're continuing to pressure israel about that. i think that is a discourse that's incredibly important. these are people's lives that need to be protected. >> it's not just the number of idf strikes that they are conducting. it's also the type of weapons that the idf is using. though the israelis are using a lot of precision munitions, the biden administration sources say the idf is also using plenty of big nonprecise bombs that flatten everything in their path. the idf briefed congress this week that those big dumb bombs are being used because they are the only way to get through to the tunnels where hamas has been embedding itself under the population. and the idf says they are warning palestinians to leave those areas. and that hamas is desueding or even preventing palestinians fro

israel. republicans in the house, who control the chamber, have tied the aid to israel -- it's a standalone packageexcuse me. james in charlotte, north carolina, a democratic caller. we are talking about that and the debate over the aid to ukraine. caller: good morning. i hope you are having a pleasant morning. i tell you, this whole thing has me so upset. number one, this palestinian army, which is not an army, but people breaking the u.n. charter that says occupied people have the right to resist. i do not see anything that shows they have the right to get -- then i find that about 85% of our administrators in this administration have dual citizenship. then you see with all the money to israel, we are giving them $3 million a year. and biden is going to have us stumble into world war iii. yesterday, the saudis reduced oil output by 2 million barrels. so gases going to go up. and nobody is going to know why here because we do not know it is really going on around the world. host: we are going back up to capitol hill. congressman gabe of ask as -- ve squez is joining us, and member of the agricultu

and republicans blocking aid to israel, republicans blocking aid to ukraine. i mean, let's face it -- >> not all of them. >> not all of them. we talked a lot about chairman mccall and most republicans wanting to support republican. there's a small wing and apparently the dominant wing of the leadership now that's actually rooting for vladimir putin and want vladimir putin to win if only by blocking aid to ukraine, then of course they don't want to fund the border. they bitch and whine about the border nonstop. they have a chance to stop this flow of illegal immigrants, playing games with that. and they're playing games on china. i hope it's worth it for them. again, i'm not sure who they think they're helping. >> the safety of the world. >> but this is a problem when you're a radical and in a little bubble surrounded by other radicals. >> right. you don't know the consequences of your actions.

shove it down their throat to say that we republican staffer cutting spending, we republicans stand costanza for israel. we republicans stand for securing the border of the united states. no, no, no let's go back and raise some money so we can do more fundraisers that we can then to get elected so we can come back here and offer more excuses for why we don't get the job done. you know whatw excuse will be next year? w we want the house and when the seneca creek if we can ev, but we don't have 60 innocent, chip. we can't do what you want to do because we don't have 60 votes in the senate. i have heard nothing but excuses for the 20 years i either get a staffer in the stamp back in texas watch it closely or not back as a member. nothing but excuses nothing but .empty promises. and the time for those excuses is over. today we took down a rule, yes, because it was a closed rule. we had a closed book which means you can't amend it. the rules committee put forward a bill for iran to go, quote, freeze the $6 million sitting in qatar through a closed rule. we were not allowed to amend it. such is the way thing

right now israel urgently needs our strong support. meanwhile republicans who have too long tried to use israel as a political, partisan wedge are now conditioning aid to israel on the partisan demand we defund the i.r.s. reflecting the cynicism of this move, their condition for supporting israel will not even pay for itself but will dig a fiscal hole $27 billion deeper. it will be far better and less costly in blood and treasure if we ensure russia, iran and hamas are defeated in their current wars than in our -- than if our enemies achieve strategic victories against ukraine and israel and america has to strengthen our defenses in europe and the middle east. speaker johnson's plan is dangerous, reckless an irresponsible. it's dangerous because it endangers israel's security. it's reckless because it conditions aid to israel for the first time. it is irresponsible because it adds $27 billion to the national debt. i'm fully committed to ensuring israel gets the aid it needs as quickly as possible. i will work with anyone, democrat and republican, to get thi

wants the $106 billion security package for ukraine, israel, taiwan and american borders to be considered by congress as one whole, but the republicansjust forced to vote against the aid package to israel, not because they were actually against it, but only because aid to ukraine was from the republican document removed. we could have accepted aid to israel today and sent the document to the president if the democrats had not stopped him, so we need to ask ourselves the question: why are the democrats holding israel hostage? the answer is because they know i can't... if anyone tells you the opposite, it's not true. republicans, and most importantly, the desire to continue to allocate billions of dollars to it, is falling in the american congress in direct proportion to the success of kiev. in quotes, there are more and more skeptics. my democratic friends told me today that ukraine is winning the war, i don’t know how stupid you think the americans are, if ukraine is winning, then why aren’t poland, slovakia and hungary helping it anymore, why the front line is not changing, 2000 people have already died in ukraine, how many more sho

republicans should ask this question, because almost every democrat supports financing ukraine. we want to agree on a single bill for the urgent needs of ukraine and israelstead, republicans insist that we have to fix the problems. immigration, before allocating money to ukraine. i think it is very unfortunate that ukraine and its sovereignty are hostage to a major us domestic political problem, a problem that can be solved, but it will be very difficult to do in the next two weeks. there is a number one risk, if you put aid to ukraine to a vote in a package, linking it with other issues, then it will most likely be blocked by the republican majority in the house. there are also risks if put to a vote separately, i.e. there is risk in both cases, but with a republican majority in the house of representatives, we believe that each issue should be considered separately. aid to ukraine has the support of an overwhelming majority of both parties in the house of representatives. the question is to find a legislative one the mechanism for consideration so that we can vote, i am against the creation of conditions for aid to ukraine. ukraine needs our military a

and my republican friends say they want to help israel, what do they do? they condition the aid to israel on essentially a tax break for millionaires and billionaires and corporations that cheat on their taxes. really? that's what they are thinking about. that's the focus. don't miss an opportunity to help the well off and well connected. don't miss an opportunity to help tax cheats who are millionaires and billionaires of big corporations, let's not list misan opportunity to help them to be able to continue to cheat on their taxes. they may be big donors, but i'm going to tell you what they do not right. it's illegal. got to be held accountable. the same way that average working people are held accountable. rich people in this country do not pay taxes anywhere near as much as average workers in this country. rich people don't pay as much taxes as nurses and teachers and laborers, and people who work hard every day just to make ends meet. come on, we ought to be able to agree on that. but to condition any aid on helping protect these tax cheaters, boy, tha

headline from the hill.com about her topic today which is the house approved 14.3 billion israel aid package. house republicans approved the 14 .3 billion package for israel setting the stage for a show down with democrats in the senate who have savaged the bill for cutting irs coffers. the 226 was entirely down party lines with democrats joining to republicans. this legislation before us would provide 14.3 billion in aid to israel. this is a significant supplemental which includes funding for ammunition procurement funding for military financing, evacuations support for billion for the sling defense system and 38 point 6 million for air force procurement. this bill is necessary for our closest allies in the middle east which is why i urge my colleagues to join us in passing this critical aid and share our support for this beacon of hope and freedom in the middle east. we cannot let our differences divide us on this critical issue. we cannot allow the bright candle of democracy to be does -- extinguish. we cannot allow israel to lose. this is not conditioning aid, is paying for it. my democratic colleagues don

i was just in our regarding israel, um, while house republicans are leading a props, we're also leading the charge to support our cherished friend, and last week and one of my first act speaker we passed a resolution reaffirming our commitment to israel and its moment apparel, and now as israel begins the next phase. of its war, it's been kind of disturbing to us, i've heard democrats uh suggest there needs to be a ceire, let us be clear, we've been very clear about this, there was a ceasefire, it was before october 7th and broke it, and israelis suffered unspeakable acts of evil, as you've heard, even recounted here this morning. israel doesn't need a ceasefire, it needs its allies to cease with the politics and deliver support now, and that's what we're doing, how's republicans plan to do that? we're going to do it in short order and it provides israel the aid it needs to defend itself, free its hostages and eradicate hamas, which is mission that must be accomplished. all of this, all of this, while we also work to ensure responsible spending and reduce the size of the federal. govern

so this israel aid package includes a plan to offset the cost by using irs funding. critics of that say that republicanss into a partisan issue. they are politicizing israel's aid. what say you to that? >> well, i don't know how it could be politicized. we need to get israel their aid immediately. if you have an opportunity to be able to pay for it and not borrow the money, what's wrong with that. that's a good deal. every business in america tries to pay for their bills without borrowing against it. so i think it's a good plan. we need to get it to them as quick as we can. >> todd: speaking of plans, you are introducing the border security and intervention act. we need it more now than ever. >> i do. i watched your segment before. simple bill, take the masses of people coming up to our border coming here illegally asking for asylum on or about just trying to breakthrough, it's going to let our border patrol know that they don't have to process them anymore. we just need to turn them around and send them back home on any way they need to get them back home. but we're going to send a message to the world
