have touched on it -- major major policy initiatives that we have pass, s with a five seat majorityr a two-seat majority or now maybe a one seat majority we still have been able to find a way to fight for those hard-working families who are -- are sick and tire of the far left agenda of joe biden and his allies in congress that have risen costs for so many things. we focused on energy, passing h.r. 1 to lower energy costs for family, whether it is pumping gas at the gas station or when your payer household electricity bill p people know they are paying too much because of the far left agenda here in washington. to pursue a radical agenda that makes no sense for america, shutting down american energy all president biden's begs saudi arabia to produce more energy while president biden lowers penalties against countries like iran so they can sell their oil on world markets making tens of billions of dollars that they never would have made before. to fund terrorism. iran is the largest state sponsor of -- terrorist organizations like thomas that attacked our allies like israel. why woul

now you are in a majority system. we are not the absolute majority who say over 51.m the blue, all from the independents or a combination of these . at the end of the election, what do they do? you can see in this red list that there are 30 candidates, the total votes are added together, divided by the total votes, how much is sam, for example. 40 independent people gather their money together and divide it the total votes are the share of independents, for example, 10%, 10 , 30 seats in tehran, three to one. now we want to say that iran is only in tehran. it is going to be held proportionally . we are talking about the flaws and what are the advantages of this plan. look at the merits. we have lived in a society , we are completely familiar with each other. second, the so-called guardian council has come, iranadat and its problems have been precisely investigated . the constitution has not been compatible with evil. i don't want to be on the list anymore, i don't want to go solo at that time , solo work that doesn't have many topics, ten-thirds of the next discussio

major? >> major: chris livesay, thank you.an missile attack killed at least 20 people today in the city of odesa in southern ukraine. dozens more were wounded. one missile destroyed homes, while another apparently targeted first responders. this onslaught came as russians started three days of voting in a presidential election, all but certain to extend vladimir putin's rule. he cast his vote online. boeing is advising all airlines that fly its 787 dreamliner to check the cockpit seats of their planes to make sure switches on the pilots' seats are properly covered. "the wall street journal" reports a flight attendant on a flight from australia to new zealand on monday may have accidentally hit a switch, forcing the pilot's seat to move forward, causing the pilot to push down the plane's nose. at least 50 people were hurt when the plane suddenly plunged. the faa says it is reviewing boeing's guidance and may ask for revisions. tonight, president biden's top white house lawyer is suggesting that house republicans move on from th

and increase its share in the majority stream. if it has two lists, then as independents, they must appear with the list. in tehran, there are 2 lists, red and blue, 100,000 independent people . how many votes do these 100,000 have? it doesn't matter how many votes they have. well, i'm saying that because there are more of them, their vote basket will be larger . you think that each of them can get, for example, a million votes, 100,000,000. 30 million here . if they don't find a place in our electoral system in this form of proportionality. they don't have one of them is the same thing i mentioned. for example, we say that at least 20% of the people's vote is required to win the representative position. what mr. qadiri could not convince me about with this proportional system is his proportional system less than 20% should take the place of 30%. this is a discussion. one is the duality in legislation that we want to run the country in two ways in the electoral system of the parliament. my opinion creates problems in the country,

guest: but the majority of the majority is the more than 100 members out of 435 members in the house. it's a fairly small minority that could block legislation. if you been paying close attention lately, you've noticed there is a lot of discussion about a motion to vacate and the ability to threaten the status of the speaker of the house and potentially kick him out. one of the numbers that really matters in the house that could affect legislation is it only takes one member to require a vote on the motion to vacate. also, republicans in the house can only afford to lose two votes before they lose a functioning majority. on one hand, you can abide by the pastor rule and have a funding bill with democrats but if you have a very vocal minority, even smaller than the hazard rule threshold a little more than 100, things can be affected or blocked. it could be affected significantly. we don't know exactly right now if there were a vote right now just on standalone ukraine aid, how many votes among house republicans what it get. that's up in the air. there is a significant amount of pressur

your view on the house majority? caller: chip roy on cnn and didn't hear one word out of chip roy when donald trump, when he had a $.2 trillion to increase the budget. 250,000, over $2 trillion of that went to tax cuts to the top 90%. he didn't say one word. the only time this trump colt thinks about the debt is when democrats are in power. they must think of your body is like the people who support them and trump. everybody ain't stupid. $8.2 trillion. ok? and that's the most of any president and he did it in four years. give trump four more years and it would have been $16 trillion. couldn'tthey come on and say -- a nice reminder where were you at when donald trump spent $8.2 trillion? and also, what did you say -- what was your reaction? just ask the question, you don't have to take a side. i think that's a legitimate question. host: all right. dan, there. we have asked that question when we have had members of congress on. in other news related to the house majority is this headline in the washington times. house

guest: one of thezí■f speaker in you follow a hastert rule and get a majority of the majority and makere there are more republicans voting for it than republicans this has to be bipartisan, it has to have the president support and has to have support of the democratic-controlled senate. you will not get 218 votes just from republicans. you need something bipartisan. it is speaker to envision any circumstance in which he is not relying on a great number of least get a majority of his caucus to support it, that protects him to a pretty significantree and that six bills. host: last week it was a $459 billion that you went through line by line, looking for earmarks. you some more reporting on the that major package there.d how many air marks are we talking about? guest: this is 6628 earmarks. it's not that easy to go through each one. we did manage to get through six different documents and we work through it. it's $12.7 billion. . there are other bills coming so there will be more earmarks in those. what we saw the first six is a weighted toward house republican priorities because the hou

major of the ground forces.

in our majority system , it is not the absolute majority that is above 51.my constituency, it is close to 20 percent . i apologize. those who get more than 20% of votes, those who get more than 20% are not eligible for example, someone above 20% cannot be a representative at all , because we said in our law, at least 20% of them say that the election is for a list in tehran . 60% of people vote for another list . the lowest and the lowest vote of those 30 people on the first list should be even less, but not the first less, the first less, i apologize for the separation , mr. qadri, our person at the top of the list gets 60% of the deserved votes, right, no, not the top. independently, for example, 10%, 10% will be 30 seats in tehran , 3 to that one will be 40, and 12 will be three and 12 15 can be 50%, they can be 50% related to this work, mr. qadri , our system is based on justice . in fact, now it has been agreed with the duality of the election method , now we want to say that iran is only in tehran, and it is going to be held proportionally. we lived co

its share in the majority stream.e together, i will not destroy each other again, mr. dr. qadir i have a question. you explained that actually the votes of people who belong to a certain list are now independent and now. it doesn't matter how many votes they get, the number of them is not important, because there are many of them, my basket will be bigger. you think that each of them will get, for example, a million votes. it will be 100 million. 10 million. here , what are 30 of us? for example, you have 6 million voters. more than the number of people, the number does not matter. mr. qadri's people's opinion, you convinced the people that it is against justice, and the reason for my opposition is one or two, it is against meritocracy, that is , worthy people have dignity and position in if they are not included in this proportional format , they no longer have a place in our electoral system. one thing is that the same point i made, for example, we say that at least 20% of the popular vote will be obtained with this

if the election model is a majority model. suddenly you see that in one province, they are voting from one faction, the other faction is mine, for example , my tendencies may be against the representatives of the faction, for example a, and i do not have a representative in the province. yes, if you want to vote in a province, you can vote. proportional city-province, not majority city-province, one, i say proportional city-province, two-proportional city, there is another problem with it . if you can explain, this is what we say , for example, tehran has a list a and a list b. it is true that list a in the majority system has a total of 30 people. in fact, if he gets his seats, it is true that the list will be removed altogether. in the proportional system, it says that the votes are proportional. that the people of tehran give to each list, for example, 20% to a, 80% to b, and 20% of the votes to be approved by the list. how do you want the people who directly voted for me to vote for my list, and i, who is the opposite of o

it is a major thoroughfare. transportation secretary pete buttigieg has just tweeted saying the federal government is also in response to the bridge collapse. obviously there's going to be massive implications for morning commutes throughout the midatlantic, but the primary concern right now is massive potential of loss of human life. there were people confirmed on the bridge and may have been a work crew as well as some drivers. it is a blessing this occurred in the middle of it night and not during the day when hundreds of cars would be on that span at once. but it's unconfirmed at this moment how many many people may be in the water at this time. we're expecting updates from baltimore and federal officials in the next couple of hours. angie, at these rescue efforts are under way what we do we in terms of the weather there, the temperature, and also water temperature. >> we're into spring but temperatures haven't warmed up that much. we're talking temp likely low to mid-40s. we'll see temperatures warm up ther

of the majority.er: what happens with the aid to ukraine? ms. greene: that would go what e want. polls show 70% don't want to continue a war in ukraine. reporter: would that be a triggering event for you? ms. greene: the motion to vacate already has been filed. he should not bring funding for ukraine. thank you. reporter: are you saying you'll call for the vote? i know you said no time limit. ms. greene: we've started the clock to start the process to elect a new speaker. and i'm giving my conference time. i'm being respectful to my conference but many members in my conference agree, even though it's uncomfortable, it's a process none of us want to go through. it has to happen. reporter: should you be teaming with democrats as well by ousting speaker of the house just like speaker johnson did in teaming with democrats to pass the government funding bill? ms. greene: we have to find a new speaker of the house. i'm not sure how that vote count would be and i've heard a lot of democrats may support him s

major?r: with all of the political and legal development's today, nikole killion, thank you pugh now to those deadly tornadoes hitting the midwest. rescue crews and cadaver dogs searched through mountains of debris looking for victims with hundreds of homes and businesses now reduced to rubble. at least three people were killed at an rv park northwest of columbus. cbs's roxana saberi shows us the destruction up close. >> reporter: from ohio to indiana and missouri, tornadoes left a trail of destruction overnight. >> oh, no. oh, no. oh, those poor people. >> reporter: the powerful storms left dozens injured in the midwest and at least three dead in ohio. in lakeview, a tornado tore through this rv park, downing power lines, uprooting trees, and setting off gas leaks and fighters. >> just devastating. i mean, you see it happen to other people and you just... finally get to comp or had what this means. >> reporter: throughout the community seeing devastation like this. the storm ripped these ho

that helps explain why the majority leader worked so fervently two weeks ago to avoi.il it was clear such obstruction would lead to a government shutdown. it also explains whyle democraty amendment because when it comes to the census, the majority leader believes, and i quote, every person must be counted. evidently that means illegal aliens also end with respect toj like mine to count citizens, not illegal aliens for apportioning voting power in america, what does the majority leader say? well, he calls it an attempt to weaponize the census. that's quite rich. our democrats weaponize and by counting people living in the country illegally? do diplomats? do we count people that are here on vacation? why would we count people who are illegally? that's the essence of weaponize and the census. here's what is really going on.r from the majority leaders home state in which she called for more illegal immigration to district for redistricting purposes. what she means is that america's or fleeing the blue cities and government. but congressional seats are allocated based on po

a one-vote majority to begin with.she does not want to be in the majority, so think about it, this very slim majority is already at risk. the house could easily flip, so why not have another gop circular firing squad now, or whenever she tries to move this motion to vacate? why not do that again? that's the thing. it is beyond absurd. it is pure lunacy that she somehow thinks this is a good idea. luckily, for mike johnson, it sounds like some democrats may not allow her to succeed this time, unlike with kevin mccarthy, but as a political matter, it's beyond stupid. >> democrats to save mike johnson, potentially. i never thought i would see the day. connor, what do you think this means for house republicans? >> i think it just reveals they don't know what they stand for. i think that is why they are having so much trouble keeping their own members. they have talented people like mike gallagher quitting on them, and they can't decide whether it's kevin mccarthy or mike johnson, or whoever it is, because they aren't actua

the government of this majority, or is the government although somehow accountable now in the majorityherwise we have doubts whether parliamentary democracy remains in ukraine, well, look, first of all, we have to take into account that... now we live in times when there is a valid martial law, this is firstly, secondly, you are absolutely right about the fact that the government should be accountable to the parliament, unfortunately, here it must be stated that during these two years , the so-called hour of the government took place only once, when the deputies had the opportunity to ask questions, urgent questions in order to get them from government officials, because in view of that a very large part is complete. back in the 22nd year, it was transferred to the executive branch of government regarding the adoption of certain decisions, then , accordingly, such accountability as it was in peacetime does not exist as of today, this is a problem, because there are too many questions for deputies and among the citizens of ukraine, there is an executive branch of government, in addition

you know i've heard enough of we're going to lose the majority. we've got the majority now. we act on the majority nonumber, but now is our time to highlight anybody that signs this own it. they own it with all of this insane spending which we get 24 hours to review a thousand pages? would you buy a thousand pages that you don't review? would you buy a toaster, would you buy anything? no. now, what's the solution? here is what i'm calling on speaker johnson to do. and only he can do it. after we leavetoday, the mace has to be in place, 184-year-old mace when the house is in session. take it down and cut the lights off and say, we will not come back until you stop thet the border. hr2 or any other logistical that will shut it down. not just paper. shut it down. take the mace down and not come back. if the senate wants to sit on it. sit on it. the one owning this. and as chip said it's going to be-- always going to be an excuse. -x we don't hav votes, don't have this no. it's our time this is our time to do something good for the american people. the government cannot continue

because look, they have a very slender majority. one vote majority to begin with.majority. so think about it. in eight months there is an election. where this very slim majority is already at risk. the house could easily flip. so why not have another gop circular firing squad now or when ever she tries to move this motion to vacate. why not do that again? that's the thing. it is beyond absurd. it is pure lunacy that she somehow thinks h is a good idea. luckily for mike johnson, seems like some democrats may not allow her to succeed this time unlike kevin mccarthy. but as a political matter it is beyond stupid. >> democrats to save mike johnson. i never thought i would see the day. what do you think this all means for house republicans? >> it reveals they don't know what they stand for. that is why they are having so much trouble keeping their own members. they have talented people like mike gallagher quitting on them. they can't decide whether it is kevin mccarthy or jim jordan or whoever it is. because they are not actually debating like a series of policy issues

she did not agree the majority shld go so farthe majority shouo far, she said. they all agreed on the bottom line. she basicallyaid it was not the right time to heighten division and point out divisions. americans should note they agreed on the outcome of this specific case and not the digger's agreement with justices about how to get there. host: does this decision put it end to all other similar efforts to remove former president trump from the ballot? guest: it does if they are in state court. anllinois state judge last week agreed with the colorado courts and said trump cannot be on the ballot because he engaged in insurrection. that c t will pretty much every other action at the state level. host: remind viewers what else the supreme court is looking at when it comes to the former president and january 6. guest: donald trumpof work to d. the most important case coming up will be argued in april. that involves his appeam must stand trial on charges that he attempted to subvert the 2020 election. trump has argued unsuccessfull so far that because he was presi

all is johnson's majority took yet another major blow after a second republican stunned his colleagues and announced he would resign early now, johnson will only be able to lose one gop vote along party lines. and that was the chaos and gulfs the house gop once sing, swing district republican mike lawler did not mince words on the new effort to topple the speaker i think it's not only idiotic but it actually does not do anything to advance the conservative movement. the american people agree with us on the issues but they don't agree with is the idiocy in the chaos that is totally unnecessary and does nothing to actually solve the problem >> now, my ghraieb, pamela's here with me this morning to break it all down. cnn's jeff zeleny. do we hertzfeld davis, and karl holes, both from the new york times. good morning to you all. thank you for joining me. >> it is such we've seen this >> story play out before. it was historic and unprecedented the first time, this time might be a little different because of how the democrats are gaming it. and this is hugely significant because ukraine aid,

yet here we sit, and we're walking away from the majority that we were given to use that majority to use the power of the purse, to stop an executive branch that is out of control. a continuing resolution will continue to fund biden's border, war on our border. independents not just biden. it's the radical progressive democrats as a whole. it's a war on our well-being, a war on our safety. young lady who was killed in georgia last week, that is happening over and over again in texas. a young cheerleader that was killed, found in a bathtub by somebody here illegally. a 2-year-old right here in montgomery county, maryland, outside of d.c., who was killed by someone here illegally and released. a young person in louisiana who was raped last week in louisiana by somebody here illegally from honduras, released. when are we going to stop it? when is this side of the aisle going to use the power of the purse to stop it? i can promise you the radical progressive democrats want it. they want open borders. we're continuing to fund a weaponized i.r.s., continuing to fund a weaponized department

now there's a whole bunch of them, not the majority, but certainly enough with such thin majorities as you're talking about before with mike gallagher, enough of them to throw sand in the gears every time legislation comes to the floor and certainly every time it's about the government spending any money to continue functioning. >> charlie, do you agree with that, that chaos in the house on the republican side is no accident. it's by design? >> yeah. there is an element, as john pointed out. there is an element within the house republican conference that is what i would term as the rejectionist wing, these real hardliners who don't want to govern who will never vote for an appropriations bill, who are never going to vote for this deal, did everything they could to drag this thing out as far as they can. they make demands all the time, i want this, i want that, but at the end of the day, though, the way it works in washington is those who are voting for the bills get to determine the content, but what's so screwed up in washington is that there are these members out there who are making

but this had major, major impact. i don't have to teach you all this on the health across the world, health outcomes across the world and so when we look at the top public health achievements of the 20th century, one of the things that we saw is control of infectious diseases, which absolutely this doesn't negate the progress that we made in that. right. but all of a sudden, diseases, diseases, an emerging infectious diseases are a major public health concern. again, before i go too much further, do you think some of the lessons learned will be from covid pandemic that people talk about from now. yes, the names alec and i think the effectiveness of 14 absolute. so there will be a renewed talk of quarantine measures just like we talked about it at different points throughout history. absolutely. that was a major part, the pandemic. what else? yes, as you say, personal hygiene. yes. yes. who wore a mask? and now this is this can actually also be cultural and depends on where you lived and where you up in the world. but

a major search and rescue operation was underway. the postcards, primary mission right now is search and rescue looking for any survivors in the water were basically searching for, for everyone that was potentially on the bridge. as you can imagine, to build the night, you know, you know, what type of traffic was there of how many workers were there. this video uploaded by a ship tracking service shows the vessels path as it went off course and into the bridge . it issued a distress called minutes before the collision. authorities said worker's been stopped the cars from crossing the bridge afterwards, saving lives. experts say the size of the ship simply overwhelmed the support structure. uh, heavy ship i that for them possibly a large load of many thousands of times when it hit something solid. i'm a ship is obviously struck the support of the bridge. not surprisingly, the bridge collapses because the support has a very rapidly flimsy structure. us president joe biden said the disaster was an accidental way. there was word and pled

the system part is the majority of this problem and problem, thank you very much sir. mr.iri, let me formulate now . mr. qazi believes that these 3 fundamental objections to this plan are one that it becomes twofold and the conditions and now our electoral formula means that it becomes both a majority and proportionality. the context of this there is a plan to form ta'azb in our country and another discussion is that maybe the independents will not have the opportunity to attend the islamic council. your answer to this. i am in this commission and we had a lot of discussions . these objections were raised in the commission. first , i will ask for compensation in the guardian council, then in the high council of expediency recognition assembly , i received 30 more ambiguities and objections. i do. you mentioned how the so-called weight of each index is. it is not necessary for you to determine the weight at all let's say party a, for example, has 40 percent of the weight of list b, 60 percent. no, the weight is exactly based on a certain calm percentage . from the beginning

in what system do big people vote in a majority system ?dry wood, in amiyan's interpretation, they say that if you are on their list, you will get votes. yes, it's like you want to go and choose a cucumber. i say, sir , you have to choose small and large, and you only have big cities and how many seats you mention. you are a model over 20. let's look at a comment everything is in accordance with the constituency . i will explain this to you with numbers and figures . it is in my article, the article related to 2018 before the 10th parliament comes to approve it. at the end of the parliament, sir, since it is in the articles, i will ask questions in front of the camera . allow me. a city has two representatives, three to three people, three lists, three parties, how do you want the system to be a list, there is no problem with 10 lists , but one person cannot be in two lists, each person in one of your lists in one city. your constituency may have 2 representatives, for example 200 participants. we have 50 coalition candidates what exactly i

now this funding bill passed without the majority of the majority. this was a democrat bill.s a d a bill joe biden can't wait to sign into law and it's a betrayale american people. right now americans are watching the border. women are being raped and killed. illegals are squatting in people's homes and then killing them when they c houses back. that's what happened in new york. we're done. we're absolutely done. reporter: what do you need to hear from the speaker to not move forward? ms. greene: he told■; everyone l week long don't break the 72-hour rule. he heard from all of us all week long. allow us to introduce amendments. allow us to do our job, allow us to represent the district who sent us here. we want a secure border. we're legalizing five million across the border every day. this is the l republicans to vote on full-term abortion funding in order to fund our military is a complete betrayal of all of our value and our voters don't want us to be doing that. reporter: when do you ano the floor. ms. greene: again, i don't have a time line. that will be a rolling issue

that seems like it might meet the majority standard with the majority does not say whether it actuallys the mustard and leaves it an open question, not one particularly relevant now because for better or worse, special jacks -- special counsel jack smith did not prosecute donald smith under that statute frank agent in insurrection. jack smith made the conscious effort not to pursue that path. i just do not see how trump could possibly be disqualified from this or any future amy: election. amy:mark joseph stern, i don't know if you can answer this, but on the issue of courts rulings and him having to pay up, something like $600 million now from dealing with the sexual assault level case of e. jean carroll, over $80 million, over $450 million in that civil case brought by the attorney general james. what is to stop trump from going to get foreign money like his son-in-law jared kushner dead, getting $2 billion from the saudi sovereign fund, going to nbs or whoever to say he needs money? >> i think the answer is the new york court system has shown more integrity in prosecuting and dealing

were on the francis scott key bridge when a packed cargo ship slammed into the structure blocking a major us ports. also on our show today, the issue of abortion rights returns to the us supreme court. during arguments, a majority of the courts of justice is appears skeptical that a group of anti abortion doctors have the legal standing to challenge the approval of a widely used drugs. and hundreds of supporters of alexi and of all need gather at his grades to mark 40 days since his death the kremlin critic and died and a siberian labour kept in february the k. richardson. thank you very much for joining us in the united states. a huge search and rescue mission to find 6 missing workers after a major bridge collapse has now been suspended. authorities and balls more believe there is no hope of finding them a life. the francis scott key bridge came down after being rammed by a pot container ship after it lost power on tuesday morning. the federal government has now promised money to rebuild the bridge, a heartbreaking end to a search for survivors. after nearly a day of searching for 6 mis

process of elimination of it being a majority.hree liberal justices jointly authored an opinion that itially, according to what some indications with a partial dissent because somebody and noted the metadata on the document the supreme court published use the word dissenting to refer to opinions that's not what is said when it came out so they decided to frame it more diplomatically as a concurrence. it's more indication this court was divided about how far to go at ruling for donald trump and that is what the issue was. how far should the supreme court go insane trump stays on the ity went prettyth far laying out a specific way to enforce section iii of the the three said look we agree only a federal law can enforce this when it comes to presidential candidates. but you are closing the door to many other federal law could step in. for example let's say someone was being prosecuted by■c an insurr■ectionist rate prosecutor appointed by insurrectionist could you raise that and say you have no right to bring charges against because y

so, the first 1/8 of the major league of the 2024 season, the stage teams, friends, will take part indvance to the quarter final, unfortunately, we will say goodbye to one , i hope, until the next season, and i am sure , looking at the teams, that our game today will be unpredictable, because three of the five teams are debutants in the kvn major league. so, let's get to know them: a team that you should greet very warmly, because they came from... the first debutant team called murmansk region for you. the smallest debutant of this season is the kvn team lyon killer, the city of kamyshlov. the third debutant has. rank, the honorary title of champion of the premier league of our club, this is the team karacus, almetyevsk, republic of tatarstan, the next team already played in the major league 2 years ago, now having gained strength, they are with us again, the kvn team stolik, the city of chulym, table! well, the most experienced team of this game, which is in its third season, last year they took second place, but today everything is like the first time for them, the kvn team, the le

a major search and rescue operation was underway. the now that search for survivors has come to an end with not one of the 6 missing people found 6 workers were fixing potholes on the bridge or the night when it collapsed based on the length of time that we've gone into search, the extensive search efforts that we put into it the water temperature, that at this point, we do not believe that we're gonna find any of these individuals still alive. so this evening at about 730, we're going to suspend the axis search and rescue efforts. coast guards not going away. none of our partners are going away, but we're just going to transition to a different phase. this video uploaded by ship tracking service shows the vessels pop as it went off costs and into the bridge issue to distress coal minutes before the collision of storage. he said, work has been stopped cause from crossing the bridge afterwards, saving lives, experts say the size of the ship simply overwhelms the support structure. a heavy ship i that will impulse a very large load of

traditionally, the competition in parliamentary elections has been between two major political groups time around, is the competition still between these two? would you please break down the candidates in terms of their political affiliations? affiliations of the candidates, i have to say that in the application forms that we have to fill in, we don't ask about their political affiliations, but according to the information provided by the provincial headquarters, 4,73 people stand as independent candidates, 2,725 people as principalists and 1,560 people as reforms. we have no information. about the rest, it could be said that the three major groups have a strong presence in the elections. the principalists, sometimes referred to as conservatives, have several electoral lists in the capital city of tehran, which has a share of 30 seats in the parliament. currently they make up the majority of the assembly and apparently have no difficulty in keeping their law-making seats. on paper, the principal is traditional rivals, however, don't seem to stand. should ask for more time to do the ve

and we have the same problem in major cities as well. but in tap on it is the most difficult, and it's also very time consuming. if you really sit down and write all the names, you could be there for quite a long time. and then the people in front of you have to do it. so you may be standing in 2 for hours just to cast a vote. that's why parliamentary elections any ronda turn out, is usually significantly lower than presidential elections because it presents for the president. you just go in, give you get the name and then you leave. so it's traditionally the iran, based upon the mentor elections are between 42 and i hope 60 percent. it ranges the lowest as your previous guess. pointed out those 4 years ago. i don't believe that that one in the political or, or the political establishment of large doesn't want to see a high turn out. but i think a major issue any ron, according to polls me by far, is the economy. that's number one. number 2, number 3, number 4 in different ways it's express and uh, the because of the sanctions, but also

steve was pretty clear that the eddies sort of major operations are off. it would be a red line that would imply that there be some sort of consequences even if they did try to walk it back. but we heard from national security advisor, jake sold it and he came out to brief reporters after the call between the president and these really prime minister. and that was pretty strong language, that major ground operations in rough up would be a mistake. and he went on to say there are more than a 1000000 people who fled there, and they basically have nowhere else to go. is the most of the major cities are who just destroyed and israel's now presented, the by the ministration with the plan that it says it has to do, which is if it tell them how they're going to move that many people where they're going to move them how their way to provide food and shelter, and the other basic necessities. again, especially since most of the guys the strip is in rubble. so this he says, sold and said at the president's urging these railways are going to be sending a team to washi

provincial majority election, well, it was clear right there that the provincial majority is small.does not make the mood better, but it makes the mood worse. so why , sir, the reason is that at that time in the province , everyone may vote for one party, and the opposite party has no representative at all. so from that time this issue was raised as a joke. i followed up on the issue again in the 9th parliament , and at the end of the 9th parliament and in the 10th parliament, i thought about the provincial proportional system of the city. we brought it up in the 10th parliament in the shura commission, the thing that caused it was my plan, and it went and passed the image of the parliament, but there were some problems and problems with it , the reason was that they put some restrictions on it, such as this one. it was not accepted by the guardian council , it was also logical because they ruined the plan, and finally, in the 11th parliament, i gave four plans to reform the electoral system, one for the parliament and one for the presidency. republic and i had one for the councils

narrow majority doesn't even begin to describe the majority. barely a majority in a couple of weeks, there'll be a one seat majority as carl presently wrote about a few weeks ago, that this could happen. but look what i was thinking when i was seeing the vote count, there was kevin mccarthy think about all this and this is exactly what he was doing just a few months ago. it much the same exact thing. the exact spending bill using democrats come across the finish line. so my question in all of this, yes, democrats may come to speaker johnson's aid, but he wants to protect his job as well here. so is he going to do something that will allow democrats to come forward? he's kind of an advisor, but he's a very interesting figure. we always learn a lot more about speakers, particularly him we didn't know that much about him are old colleague david. patrick has a really interesting story in him in the new yorker really, he's not the he's a brand new speaker obviously, but he's been eyeing this for awhile. so i think we're about to learn something from

and we've got a small majority. but in the nine months, what was the small majority able to do?e passed the strongest border security bill. it is now stuck in the senate. an energy independence bill. we stopped d.c. from decriminalizing. >> it is dead on arrival in the senate. >> but listen to what did come into law. the largest cut, more than $2 trillion and welfare reform and neepa reform, parents bill of rights. we've proven we could govern can would show to the american public, if we have a new president, america would be much stronger. >> you've twice now mentioned matt gaetz, do you have evidence to back up your allegation? >> well, i think the ethics committee, it was -- it was matt coming to me trying to me to do something to stop the ethics committee moving forward on something illegal that was before i was speaker. >> something illegal. >> why not the facts. it was a personal issue of what he had done as a member of congress. the ethics committee has a right to look at it and i'm not going to get into the middle of it one way or another. >> putting that to the side, i

the southern most city rough is a major military ground operation. in rasa is not the way to do it at risk killing more civilians. it was reading great or having with the version of the manager and assistance. it was further isolating is really around the world. and jeopardize is long term security in spanish. but prime minister benjamin netanyahu maintains a ground defensive and drop off is the only way to achieve what he calls an absolute victory. sure, a little bit. we have no way to defeat him off, so that entering rasa in eliminating the rest of the mos battalions there. and i told him that i hope we will do it with the support of the united states. but if we have to, we will do it alone. despite that threat, israel has sent a delegation to del how we're talks with him. us are on going to secure a ceasefire. blinking says mediators are trying to bridge the gaps on remaining sticking points. but anonymous is really official said, no real progress has been made. next week, israel will send a delegation to washington to brief american officials on

that means the majority in the house is 216. johnson can lose just two republicans and keep his speakership with all republicans support or he will have to get support from democrats. i talked to tom swaze. he right away said i will support speaker johnson. there's one democratic vote but other democrats say if we want to support speaker johnson, we want to get something out of it. this will lead to days of instability. one thing is for sure marjory taylor green is going to make a loft money in funding off of this. amna: there was more news, that slim republican majority is about to get slimmer? >> this was such a dramatic friday. we had an unexpected piece of news from a very high profile republican member mike gallagher. he was on this program. i believe it was last week talking about the tiktok. but he's a rising star in the pear. 40 years old four-termer. we know he was going leave congress's term. he's leaving mid april. he does not want to be in the house any more. what this means is that narrow majority gets slim. let's l
