one of those was josh gottheimer i would point out. got on the phone, tried to distance himself from no labels. it was oddest thing. liz: how so. >> they were saying gottheimer's caucus, problem-solvers caucus is not affiliated with no labels. it is all over no labels website. has been written about for years. here is the upshot, no labels is coming under lot of attack by democrats. gottheimer wants to run as a democrat governor in new jersey for 2025. this group will fall apart. it cannot stand as having josh gottheimer as a main participant and democrats really believe if no labels runs somebody that will equal defeat for joe biden. that is how this thing is starting to come apart. i think it came apart a little bit in the call last week i reported exclusively on the "claman countdown." 700 no labels people, donors were on the call, essentially pointing fingers at each other who is to blame over the mccarthy ouster, and how so many democrats affiliated with no labels voted to get rid of him. if democrats affiliated with no labels to

joined now by coat chairs of the problem solvers caucus brine fitzpatrick and new jersey democrat josh gottheimer. good to have you both with us. we have a lot of problems you need to solve. i want to start -- what we just learned in the course of this program which is speaker mccarthy coming out and seeming to link some movement on the border to his willingness to move a ukraine funding bill and heard lindsey graham said how he wants it to go down in the senate. he called it a three-legged stool. would you get on board with what graham proposed? >> i would. i think we have a lot of challenges and need to address all of them. it's consistent with the problem solver framework we introduced last week and addresses keeping the government open, ukraine, our border and expiring authorities. we dealt with several of them in the continuing resolution that passed thankfully yesterday. but there are remaining items that are unaddressed the border and ukraine being two of them. >> the border proposal that has passed hr 2 that speaker mccarthy talked about would not go anywhere in the democratic straight. >

joining us now, democratic congressman josh gottheimer of new jersey. key heb of house intelligence committee. thank you so much for joining us. let me first get your reaction to this rather dark chapter in israel's history. >> the only thing i could say, wolf, is it is been a gut-wrenching couple of days. i think for everyone who cares about the u.s. relationship and cares about just -- you look at videos like the one you're referencing, of rockets being rained down. of course young children, women and grandparents, torn from their homes by hamas terrorists. 50 years after the yom kippur war and you realize how critical it is that israel be given the room to act decisively. they did not bring this on themselves. they were attacked by terrorists, iran-backed terrorists and now the key is to respond and root out these terrorists. >> a source is telling cnn, congressman, that house intelligence committee members like yourself got an unclassified briefing on the situation in israel this morning. first of all, were you in that br briefing, and if so, could

then one democratic congressman josh gottheimer a prominent israel supporter in the democratic caucus called those members despicable saying they don't speak for our party. andre carson responded to gottheimer. >> he's cowardly. i think he's not active in the role as a member of congress. i think he has shown himself to be very emotional like most cowardly people when you confront them they're afraid. i'm unafraid of the guy. if he wants to call us despicable i'm saying he is a coward and he is a punk and he should remember why the people sent him here and if he wants to play some kind of tough guy or gangster, we can handle it like gentlemen or we can get into something else. >> gottheimer said in response to those comments that he would sit down with carson at any time to talk about how they can bring the hostages home, provide humanitarian relief and crush hamas and all terrorists seeking to do us harm. i'm told, dana, that those two members are planning to meet, likely meet, sometime this week. >> let's hope so. let's a very important meeting not just between the two man but as a

i have worked tirelessly with my colleagues, folks like josh gottheimer on critical issues including on the state of israel. i think leader jefferies, frankly, it's a little hypocritical for him to be out there talking about bipartisanship. he has proven himself not to be interested in that. he and the democrats have funded million dollar ad campaigns attacking folks like me in the lead-up to any potential shutdown knowing full well and it is a record very clearly opposing the record and working tirelessly to avoid one. the reality is the american people elected a house republican majority to govern as a check and balance on the biden agenda. the reckless spending, 5 trillion in new spending in two years. our porous southern border have you have millions of migrants crossing over in just two and a half years, 6 million, in fact. the democratic policies have failed and voters do not want one-party rule. yes, we need to vote in a bipartisan way, but if any of my colleagues think this will end with hakeem jefferies bein

progressive party like congressman ritchie torres of new york and the more moderate democrat josh gottheimer quote, it sickens me that while israelis clean the blood of family members, they believe congress should strip funding to our democratic ally. stuart: yeah, i think that stays it all -- says it all. thanks, lauren. >>> check futures, please, because i do see a little bit of green on this wednesday morning. dow up 73, nasdaq up 48 points. the opening bell is next, and we'll take you there. ♪ ♪ ♪ is it possible to fall in love with your home... ...before you even step inside? ♪ discover the magnolia home james hardie collection. available now in siding colors, styles and textures. curated by joanna gaines. we're travelling all across america, talking to people about their hearts. ooh, take this exit. how's the heart? i feel like it's good. you feel like it's good? how do you know when it's time to check in on your heart? how do you know? let me show you something. it looks like a credit card, but it is the kardiamobile card. that is a medical-grade ekg. want to see how it works? yeah. p

and i don't know, i haven't seen many democrats outside josh gottheimer criticize squad like tlaib.e house in marginalizing tlaib on the squad. they are just doing their thing and the meanwhile knowing that most of their party is not in support of our arguably our number one ally in the world and certainly a beacon of hope in the middle east. >> ainsley: i wonder if that will change. most jewish individuals do support the democratic party. >> how just talked to a bunch of american jewish students and they feel threatened and this is the next generation. >> there is such big jewish community here in new york where the taxes are so high. i have always been baffled why wouldn't they be republicans that are fiscally conservative? >> steve: well. >> brian: more pro-israel. >> ainsley: and pro-israel. >> steve: this could explain the reluctance to hurry -- israel to hurry into the gaza area and maybe there will be no ground invasion. maybe it's just going to be like what we are seeing right now, these targeted things where they go in with tanks for a couple hours, blow stuff up and go bac

with us now, co-chair of the house problem solvers caucus, democratic congressman, josh gottheimer ofwith us. >> yeah. >> i will ask you here -- >> morning. >> thank you so much for coming. sorry i couldn't talk to you yesterday, but so great to be able to talk to you today. a lot of people like myself are asking, if you have a problem solvers caucus, wouldn't that be a great time for the problem solvers to figure out how to stop the house of representatives from vacating the chair for the first time in american history? what do you say? >> well, listen, i think if you looked at this challenge, we had, one, speaker mccarthy, and we were eager to find a way forward. i'm sure you saw what the speaker said, that he ultimately, quote, didn't want to sell his soul to democrats, and that he wouldn't ask for any deal or anything from democrats. it's hard to do a deal with someone who doesn't want to engage, but we certainly tried. of course, that's the speaker's right and his decision to make. certainly, if you look at the work we did in the last months, it's all about bipartisan governing a
