00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:02.099
Couple things going on as you mentioned next house vote

00:00:02.108 --> 00:00:04.320
and President Biden speech this evening, Kelly lines uh

00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:06.519
joins us now from Capitol Hill, since you're on

00:00:06.530 --> 00:00:08.108
Capitol Hill. What are we expecting from the house

00:00:08.118 --> 00:00:11.089
today? Well, right now, Alex Republicans are

00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:13.108
having a conference meeting in the basement. I was

00:00:13.118 --> 00:00:15.300
just down down there and it's really unclear whether or

00:00:15.310 --> 00:00:17.809
not there is going to be a vote happening today

00:00:17.818 --> 00:00:19.658
, Jim Jordan, who of course is the not

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:23.129
designated a speaker nominee for the Republicans who has struggled

00:00:23.138 --> 00:00:25.030
over the course of two votes to get the majority

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:26.850
. He needs to get the gavel is now throwing

00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:29.978
his support behind a plan to empower the speaker Pro

00:00:29.989 --> 00:00:33.020
10 Patrick and he through January that would allow the

00:00:33.029 --> 00:00:34.918
house to deal with the business need to deal with

00:00:34.929 --> 00:00:38.115
including funding the government pass that deadline of the 17

00:00:38.125 --> 00:00:41.075
. Also the Israel of funding issue. The problem

00:00:41.084 --> 00:00:42.914
is it doesn't seem clear at this point that there

00:00:42.923 --> 00:00:46.033
is enough support within the Republican conference to actually get

00:00:46.043 --> 00:00:48.543
that resolution to move forward. A number of members

00:00:48.554 --> 00:00:51.223
have already been down there, speaking with reporters including

00:00:51.234 --> 00:00:53.365
Marjorie Taylor Green and Scott Perry, who chairs the

00:00:53.375 --> 00:00:55.645
House Freedom Caucus, who said they don't support this

00:00:55.654 --> 00:00:57.234
idea of a resolution. They think it's a bad

00:00:57.243 --> 00:00:59.853
idea. That means Democrats would likely need to get

00:00:59.865 --> 00:01:02.204
in line on this. And it's unclear if they

00:01:02.215 --> 00:01:03.064
were willing to do that or what they would ask

00:01:03.073 --> 00:01:07.418
for in exchange. Kayleigh, what is the president

00:01:07.430 --> 00:01:10.939
going to say to the American people later this evening

00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:12.638
? Well, this is going to be a foreign

00:01:12.650 --> 00:01:15.510
policy speech for President Biden coming just a day after

00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.198
he returned from a trip to Israel to the Middle

00:01:19.209 --> 00:01:22.379
East to try not only to underscore us support for

00:01:22.388 --> 00:01:23.349
Israel, but also to make sure that this crisis

00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.448
is not expand beyond its current borders, dealing with

00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:29.609
Israel and Hamas. So this is likely going to

00:01:29.620 --> 00:01:30.549
be a speech to the American people about the need

00:01:30.558 --> 00:01:34.875
to continue to support an a this very the US

00:01:34.885 --> 00:01:37.084
ally but other allies as well as you alluded to

00:01:37.094 --> 00:01:38.543
there. We are also expecting Ukraine will be in

00:01:38.555 --> 00:01:41.165
this speech and of course, this comes as we

00:01:41.174 --> 00:01:42.114
are expecting really any moment or day. Now,

00:01:42.125 --> 00:01:45.995
the president to be sending a supplemental funding request to

00:01:46.004 --> 00:01:49.174
this Congress expected to be in the ballpark of$100

00:01:49.183 --> 00:01:52.234
billion in funding for Israel. Ukraine, even Taiwan

00:01:52.245 --> 00:01:53.995
and border security. But of course, that can't

00:01:53.004 --> 00:01:56.064
be dealt with until we have a speaker of the

00:01:56.135 --> 
House
