bunch bowl news cofounder and political analyst, jake sherman. national affairs correspondent at the nation, john nichols, and spokesperson for abortion access campaign, chris love. it's a grab bag of presidential politics. all of these issues important for november. let's start, though, with what he might have said about israel and hamas in this bilateral meeting with japan. there's all sorts of fallout from the interview that he gave to univision, and today he was asked again about it. >> reporter: that's exactly right, katy. we saw president biden with univision saying that the way that benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel is prosecuting this war is a, quote, mistake. today the president made a series of headlines. i think most notably is the one that relates to the current situation in the reason, the concerns the u.s. has about a significant attack in the words of president biden by iran against israel in retaliation for an israeli strike that targeted and hit an iranian embassy inside syria, in damascus, which iran views as targ

monica alba, jake sherman, ashley parker, thank you very much. and we're still waiting on president biden to start speaking on baltimore. we're going to sneak in a quick 90-second break. on the other side if the president hasn't started speaking yet, we're going to talk about what israel is saying, what conclusion they have come to as to how the seven aid workers were killed, who they fired, and what jose andres is saying about that investigation. >>> plus, what caused the empire state building to tweet, i am fine today. a lighter story. >> and what election workers say needs to happen to keep polling sites staffed this november. sta. some migraine attacks catch you off guard, but for me a stressful day can trigger migraine attacks too. that's why my go to is nurtec odt. it's the only migraine medication that can treat and prevent my attacks all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion and stomach pain. now i'm in control. with nurtec odt i can

"punchbowl news" cofounder, jake sherman, and former senator and cohost of msnbc's "how to win 2024" podcast. claire mccaskill. what in the world is going on? >> well, what's going on is schumer has the votes and the republicans don't, and there was only a one-vote margin for this impeachment in the house, and there were several republicans who voted against it in the house. i think there's a huge chunk of the republicans that know this does not rise to the level of impeachment, and by the way, every time mitch mcconnell wants to pontificate about history and precedent, i'm wondering how merrick garland feels because he blew through all history and precedent by totally ignoring the advice and consent function of the senate for a supreme court nominee, and then did the opposite to push one through on the eve of an election. so i'm not going to take seriously his lecturing about precedent and history because he's changed history in many important ways in terms of how the senate operates. and i think the argument is being made by the democrats, yeah, we're setting a precedent that you c

we have punch bowl's jake sherman with us. great to have you here with us.te really hanging in the balance here? >> absolutely. there's been a group of republicans for a long time that suggested if johnson puts any ukraine aid on the floor, his job would be in danger. that is still a live option. the question he is a few things. number one, do they want to replace the speaker again? do they want to replace the speaker in the middle of the election season when the speaker is raising money for the party. raised $20 million for house republicans last quarter. that is a very important job. probably a good 50% of what he has to do. to be honest with you, the majority of the house of representatives is in favor of ukraine and in favor of aid to israel especially after the iranian an attacks. they are in favor of aid to taiwan. republicans are in the bill and planning to see if it is able to happen and planning to ban tiktok and selloff seized russian assets. this is a big package and moment for mike johnson and the house of representatives. >> that's a lot of thin

. >> dana: aishah hosni sent this into us as well following jake sherman.ake in the new york metro area is impacting air travel. flights into newark and coming into dulle is in virginia are in holding pattern. one diverted to allentown because of the uncertainty to make sure everybody is safe. >> bill: one important note here. in a moment we'll hand off to the next show. dagen mcdowell is working for harris today. for our viewers to know governor phil murphy in new jersey put out a statement talking about activating the state emergency operations center but he says please do not call 911 unless you have an actual emergency. that's the last line on there. could be very important stuff as we all absorb this information and figure it out. >> dana: never know what happens on breaking news. dage

and jake sherman from punch bowl news. great to have you all here. jonathan, trump is now using this for his overall theme of blaming joe biden for this is his word lawlessness. along with his attacks on border and crime policies. he's already been doing that. is the white house worried this could be a problem for joe biden? >> yeah, it is part of trump's argument here and also connected to the wars in ukraine. saying when i was president, these things weren't happening. but you're right, lawlessness or chaos trump is trying to say at home or abroad and trying to blame president biden for this. the biden team is a wear is this a problem and a growing one, that certainly these kreens of unrest at these protests and some of the vile anti-semitism and vile language used turns off a lot of voters. it is an issue. the administration though, there is a limit to what they can do at this point. certainly the president has completely says he supports the idea of peaceful protests. and there is no space for anti-arabic or anti-muslim sentiments. so they are df

. >> joining us from capitol hill, jake sherman, founder of punchbowl news and msnbc political contributoro be a lot of absurdity. what is the latest on this? >> let's take for a second how unusual it is for a speaker of the house to have to come out and say he's not resigning. when you have to say you are not resigning that's probably not a great sign. tom massey, as you noted, has become the second member to say he would support a motion to vacate, and there are procedural hurdles, and if somebody triggered the motion, which we should note, marjorie taylor greene has not asked for a vote yet, and before that motion there could be a motion to table which they could set aside that motion with the house of representatives, and it's over the aid package that johnson tried to push through this week. he put this off for a long time and now you can see why he put it off. >> jake, explain to us a little bit the structure that exists so -- there has to be a motion triggered to vacate, and then there will be other motions to nullify that motion? where does this end up? what is that process as far

now, jake sherman, our friend from punchbowl rice. you can file this under bills that will go absolutely okay. >> he's a good judge of that one >> there's also this this morning, the wall street journal has a new presidential poll out today and it shows president biden trailing donald trump in six of seven swing states in this snapshot in time, just last night, battleground wisconsin gave another warning thousands of democratic voters casting protest votes over biden's handling of israel's war against hamas. more than 45,000 people in wisconsin voted uninstructed. that's the terminology in a sign of protest. that's more than twice the margin that biden had in winning that state in 2020 cnn's jeff zeleny is in madison, wisconsin. he's got much more on this. jeff is the biden campaign worried about what i've read today >> good morning kate well of course they are. and it's just because of the sheer numbers. look at the clear warning signs here for both sides. let's start with president biden. you mentioned that uninstructed vote, a pret
