dean phillips is someone who does not have much name recognition.ee specific names added to that general sentiment, usually see biden fare strongly among democrats. it will be a tough road not to mention the logistic challenges because he's getting in so late. he already missed filing deadlines in key states. obviously there's still the questions over the early primary calendar and new hampshire's primary itself is not in compliance with the dnc rules. when you look at the specifics, it doesn't look like a challenge to president biden in terms of his ability to get the nomination at this point, there are also built-in advantages for phillips has more than $70 million he reported as his personal income in congress, could invest that in that race and make the white house sweat a little. >> it just seems like the math ain't mathing on this one. >> yeah. >> if he is filing to run, why new hampshire when they will likely have their delegate stripped of them for not following the calendar and president biden may not be on the ballot there. you want a chal

of the first caucus is dean phillips?of an inside play he could try to make. >> you asked us to meet yesterday you said when is the finish line for joe biden? when is it too late question mike i don't think it ever is to latently arrive at the democratic nat national conventn august 19. in that scenario joe biden would have to bow out essentially if he is the democratic nominee, the nomination and declare his support for another candidate. i don't think anything is off the table progress nothing is off the table but right now the biden team has locked down the dnc. they control the process liquidated to rfk junior. they pushed him out completely. they will try to the same thing to dean phillips would have to be a decision joe biden and his team makes an august that we are not doing this again and they would have to pick somebody and say our support goes to them. >> and again unless you beat the deadline for the states which is rapidly approaching where they want to beat the deadline or find it joe biden support at the con

dean phillips is not well known.you're running for president, this is a campaign strategy where they're not awarding delegates and there's not a wide electorate which is the base of the democratic party and you have to be conscious of every factor when you're running for president and they certainly are. they certainly are in this moment. >> he's got a math problem as jen points out is he running as you a younger version of president biden and could that chip away? >> you shouldn't start your campaign by saying you're not running against the person you're running against. that's a challenge. the challenge for the biden campaign, he speaks for a lot of democrats and our own nbc poll, six in ten democrats said they wanted a challenger to joe biden. 74% of registered voters say they want joe bide on the be challenged and they're not comfortable with him. we have 53 weeks until the general election next year. joe biden does make mistakes. you don't have to be sean hannity and create conspiracy theories about joe biden's

>> i don't think dean phillips will beat joe biden.n phillips thinks he will beat joe biden. he's a strong supporter of israel. he's not an opponent of the state of israel by any means. quite the contrary. i think the real impact he will make is to potentially weaken joe biden for the general election to come, which is very close or showing depending on the poll you read, a point or two lead for biden or a couple point lead for donald trump. however you read it, martha, this is bad news for the white house to have dean philips that is certainly a credible member of congress run even if his threat is not a serious one for the president's renomination. >> martha: kellyanne, i'm curious your take. joe biden is 80 years old. a lot of people think he's too old to be president again. now he has this enormous international situation on his hands where the united states is the lead in the supporter of a war in europe and the lead in supporting a war in the middle east as well in terms of our money and our backing. >> yes. so dean phillips is a

what do we know at this hour >> reporter: good morning, phillip. the greatest indication we got that a ground invasion may be imminent is that visit by several senior israeli officials yesterday to the many troops that have been heining up alongside the station, alongside the border of the gaza strip for days the israeli foreign minister said they would seen it from inside and promising that an order would come another senior jenlgeneral tolde a ground invasion will be long, difficult and intense and in the end israel will beat hamas on its own territory and last but not least benjamin netanyahu also rallied the troops by saying israel is on the 2003 victory. but for now, it looks like the calm before the storm or the storm before the hurricane since last saturday, the israeli military said they weren't going to hit gaza with a coordinated sea, land and air assault, but it has been pounding it with airstrikes, but they have line up tens of tanks alongside the border that have their guns pointed at gaza but their engines have been since off. why? ma

this was a targeted attack on jack phillips. the latest lawsuit that he is currently facing seeks monetary damages and attorneys fees from jack that if successful will bring about financial ruin for jack and his family. but that's completely absurd, it is mindboggling to think, jack serves everyone and welcomes everyone and gladly serve people from all walks of life but as a creative professional and this is typical across creative professions he cannot just express every single message that is requested of him. he can't celebrate every event he's asked to. for example, jack does not create cakes celebrating halloween or violence or antimean messages or divorce or cakes that den gait other people. he wouldn't create any of those things and it is his right as creative professional to make those choices, to make those decisions. he does not deserve cruelty of over decade of litigation simply for trying to peacefully run his business in a way that's consistent with his faith. no american should endure that type of bullying or be va

, i don't think there are many of them privately who have expressed the kind of doubts that dean phillips has. it's his right. he's an elected official in the party, he can say whatever he wants, but there are consequences for doing what he has done. he has isolated himself. maybe he'll be proven right, eventually. i don't think so myself, but it's possible that he will be. but being a prophet doesn't always make you popular in your own time. and he clearly is very unpopular within the democratic caucus right now. >> scott, i guess, one of the things that's kind of interesting about all of this is that the democrats and their leadership were rather efficient and streamlined, in, i guess, showing phillips the door perhaps he saw the light and thought it was a good time to leave. whereas on the other side of the aisle, it's not that disciplined right now. how do you see kevin mccarthy getting through this next period? >> the republican leadership is fine. it's the fringe of the party, fringe of the fringe, and the fringe of the democrats causes them some headaches from time to time. phillip

now, you have congressman dean phillips, who is mainly in new hampshire.y ahead on that is saying it is turning out to be a mistake. now, president biden is going to have to try to run in there.

what's israel's response to all this >> reporter: well, phillip, israel has said that hamas needs to be destroyed, that israel has the right to self-defense, and it's why officials are furious with the secretary-general of the united nations and calling for him to resign after antonio gutierres said the attacks by hamas did not happen in a vacuum and that strikes on civilians in gaza amount to what he called collective punishment. israel says it is shocked bit comments and that they are, quote, completely disconnected from reality israel has ramped up airt airstrikes across the gaza strip, bringing buildings down, reducing them to rubble. it's unclear how many people were killed overnight. meanwhile, a ground invasion is still looming with israeli forces amassing at the border and growing concerns that fighting could spill over across the region diplomacy at this point has been slow moving. it's a balancing act, with regards to a cease-fire, to getting aid into the gaza strip, as well as winning the release of some 200 hostages that hamas is still holding, including ten americans, di

reporter: congressman dean phillips is he going to announce a bid against president biden on friday. do you have any response? mr. aguilar: nothing to do with the tweet he put out earlier today. one of the great things about serving in this institution is we see colleagues who want to run for other things. some of them are successful and some of them aren't. i think all of us have talked about the importance of re-electing joe biden and kamala harris and we can talk about it in the political context. that's what we are focused on, but people having ambitions and running for other things is par for the course. reporter: congresswoman jackson lee -- indiscernible] have you had a chance to listen to the audio? mr. aguilar: everybody should try and do their best -- and more than try. everyone in this institution, every member has an obligation to treat staff respectfully and to treat each other with dignity and respect and when people fall short they should say they fell short. i heard the audio and not had a conversation but i'll let her speak for herself on what's next. thank you so >>

, meaning the phillips curve was very, very flat. now, actually, if you just ignore cause and look at the data, it will tell you that the relationship is back. do we really think that's a sustainable thing? i don't know. what happened, though, people came to seriously expect 2% inflation, something like 2% inflation. if people expect that, if companies expect it and workers expect it and you expect that in your shopping, then that's what will happen in a way. that's what happened. so even in very, very tight labor markets, we didn't have high inflation. i was at the fed since 2012, as unemployment went from 6 p%, to 5%, to 4% into the 3s. we never really saw 2% inflation, so we learned that the phillips curved was really flat. some pronounced it dead. now, i don't think most of the inflation we're seeing at all is from the phillips curve, though. it was really the collision of very strong demand, really strong demand with constraint and supply. many people wanted cars, didn't want to ride public transportation, wanted to move to the

who is dean phillips?the other hand this guy is young, charismatic, has a family fortune he can spend in this bid and one to watch, new hampshire, president biden is not putting his name on the ballot. they are miffed that new hampshire won't change its primary date and guess where dean phillips is going to run. he will put a lot of his attention on new hampshire so there could be some interesting dynamics. stuart: you have a new op-ed titled biden's supplemental wargames, time for the republicans to get serious and rain in the democrats spending now that they have a speaker. easier said than done. kim:this is an opening for that and that is what i was trying to say. the president keeps saying there's nothing more final, nothing is a greater priority than national security money for israel and ukraine. republicans ought to hold him to that line. the white house of this week sent a new emergency supplemental for critical needs which is stuffed full of liberal priority domestic spending, $16 billion more for

>> good morning, phillip and frances. yeah, the u.s. military's striking two facilities that are supported by iran's revolutionary guards and affiliated groups in eastern syria. this is in response to a series of attacks that began about ten days ago. a u.s. military official saying 19 attacks in total on u.s. personnel in iraq and syria. and while most of these attacks have been relatively unsuccessful, secretary of defense lloyd austin saying, as a result of these attack, one u.s. citizen contractor died from a cardiac incident while sheltering in place, and 21 u.s. personnel had been suffering, have suffered minor injuries as a result of these attacks. now lloyd austin also stressing that the president has no higher priority than the safety of u.s. personnel, these u.s. personnel based in iraq and syria and that the u.s. will not tolerate these types of attacks and will defend itself. while they're not looking to escalate this, they will defend themselves as necessary. but are hoping that by striking these two facilities using f-16s,

>> frances, phillip, form. that statesman seems to be carefully drafted by the leaders of the country to show they still support israel's right to defend itself and to retaliate against hamas, but at the same time they're calling on israel to respect on international law, especially when it comes to protecting civilians this is different than the same statement the leaders issued two weeks ago after hamas' attack where they offered the steadfast and united support to israel to condemn hamas, but they did not mention the need to protect civilians. what has changed since then? more than 4,000 people have been killed in the gaza strip since then for the last couple of weeks, mainly killed by israeli air strikes, including hundreds of children. a relentless bombing and death toll, impressive death toll has that triggered widespread demonstrations against israel in many parts of the world, including in the countries that are -- of that statement of that statement issued last night. it doesn't look like the statement

>> reporter: good morning, phillip. the white house says president biden spoke to leaders in both egypt and israel yesterday one message he gave to both is that humanitarian aid into gaza needs to be accelerated and increased significantly. the united nations says the amount making it through the egyptian crossing is not nearly enough when the president spoke to israeli prime minister netanyahu, he reaffirmed that israel has the right to defend itself against terrorism, but that the flow of assistance to civilians in gaza needs to happen the white house says the two also talked about efforts to secure the release of more hostages taken by hamas and other groups israeli officials believe 239 captives are still being held in gaza a former u.s. official tells nbc news that negotiations with hamas over the hostages have stalled. the source who has knowledge of the ongoing talks says hamas is objecting to the release of captives until israel stops cutting off the fuel supply to gaza meanwhile, the new house speaker mike john

we learned that the phillips curve was really flat. now, i don't think most of the inflation we are seeing is from the phillips curve. really it was the collision of really strong demand with constrained supply. cars being a great example. many people wanted cars. didn't want to ride public transportation. unlimited demand for cars. we couldn't get semiconductors, so there are no more cars. car production went down. how do you solve that? prices go way out. that is a classic example that what happen here really wasn't phillips curve, but about constrained supply and demand more broadly. >> last march we had something of a scare. interest rate risk with silicon valley bank and some others. abe through that now? where are we in that process? >> what you've asked for his not to rest easy. where we are is this. things have certainly settled down. we see the funding markets, we paid a lot of attention to banks that look anything like the bank that had the problems to make sure they had incredible liquidity plans and all of that. i think oth

phillip, frances. >> the recess of those hostages, some good news in recent days. claudio lavanga, thank you very much. >>> the two hostages released friday are 59-year-old artist judith raanan and her 17-year-old daughter natalie who just graduated from high school. the two live in a suburb of chicago but hold dual israeli and american citizenship they were in israel for the jewish holidays and natalie's grandmother's 85th birthday on october 7th. they were kidnapped by hamas from the kibbutz qatar acted as an intermediary between the u.s. and hamas more than 200 hostages still remain and little is known about their condition. >>> let's turn to capitol hill where the search continues for a house speaker. republicans are back to square one again after their latest nominee jim jordan of ohio tried and failed to get the votes needed to win the gavel. nbc's brie jackson joins us from washington, d.c. brie, good morning have we seen a front runner emerge here for the job now that jim jordan is definitely out >> reporter: good morning. not only is there no clear front r

and phillips, obviously, is expressing that concern.'t know if he's actually helping the democratic party by -- if he enters the race. because as i said, anything that -- unless you're going to replace the president, a primary race, you know, typically, would just weaken a sitting president. and especially a president you agree with because the implicit message of the campaign would have to be he's just too old. >> i'm wondering what you say to democrats who argue that a different candidate would have better odds against donald trump. because you're right, he is running away with the republican nomination. and yet, when you look closely at public polling, they're very close in age. but voters perceive their age differently. they believe that it weighs more heavily on biden. >> yes. and i think it has to do with performance. you know, i think the president has a pretty strong record to run on. he has accomplishments to point to. his issues are performance issues. trump is a performer. and he's an entertainer, and he's energetic. and so p

dean phillips is stepping down from his leadership position. citing different opinions on whether or not biden should have a primary challenger. what did you make of this? how significant is that? >> i don't think it's significant at all. congressman phillips is completely unserious when it comes to somebody who might thinking about doing this. >> a lot of polls show there's a significant number of democrats who have that same point of view. >> but at the end of the day, you ask those democrats if not biden then who? then who? right? so, to me, that question is completely idiotic. with all due respect. because it means nothing. it's completely irrelevant. the majority of republicans also don't want to see a donald trump and joe biden rematch. the majority of americans don't want to see that rematch. i don't want to see it because it's bad for our mental health. but we also know that donald trump is a huge danger to our democracy. joe biden beat him once already. and when you look at the majority of polls, the polls of polls, it's either a dead
