seeing for the ░░░░░░░░ since Saturday but you ░░░░░░░░ what we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ our screen right now ░░░░░░░░ Well this is a ░░░░░░░░ vicious attack by Hamas ░░░░░░░░ Israel And it affected ░░░░░░░░ families of all kinds ░░░░░░░░ it could not be ░░░░░░░░ But we need to ░░░░░░░░ that this is not ░░░░░░░░ for Hamas Hamas originated ░░░░░░░░ than 30 years ago ░░░░░░░░ a terrorist organization supported ░░░░░░░░ Iran Eventually they seize ░░░░░░░░ of the Gaza Strip ░░░░░░░░ that control away from ░░░░░░░░ Palestinian authorities and have ░░░░░░░░ on Gaza a very ░░░░░░░░ handed terrorist organization running ░░░░░░░░ government they have continued ░░░░░░░░ almost every week from ░░░░░░░░ into Israel Sometimes there ░░░░░░░░ a few sometimes there ░░░░░░░░ a lot but always ░░░░░░░░ is ongoing This unprecedented ░░░░░░░░ is not not to ░░░░░░░░ unexpected We need to ░░░░░░░░ the overall political situation ░░░░░░░░ the Middle East Iran ░░░░░░░░ its own problems at ░░░░░░░░ The Abraham Accords are ░░░░░░░░ together the Gulf states ░░░░░░░░ Israel Even Saudi Arabia ░░░░░░░░ in the process of ░░░░░░░░ to create trying to ░░░░░░░░ some sort of a ░░░░░░░░ with Israel I m ░░░░░░░░ that Iran saw this ░░░░░░░░ a threat to their ░░░░░░░░ they amped up Hamas ░░░░░░░░ well as Hezbollah in ░░░░░░░░ Lebanon area to stage ░░░░░░░░ attack This didn t ░░░░░░░░ without Iran s authority ░░░░░░░░ munitions and the rest ░░░░░░░░ what we have here ░░░░░░░░ a very very difficult ░░░░░░░░ And unfortunately the Congress ░░░░░░░░ the United States is ░░░░░░░░ by the chaos caucus ░░░░░░░░ we are inoperable The ░░░░░░░░ is not in operation ░░░░░░░░ of the chaos within ░░░░░░░░ Republican caucus DIAZ BALARD ░░░░░░░░ is such a horrific ░░░░░░░░ And and the fact ░░░░░░░░ congressman that I mean ░░░░░░░░ re there s a ░░░░░░░░ of Eight right on ░░░░░░░░ Hill that deals with ░░░░░░░░ know all kinds of ░░░░░░░░ security and international security ░░░░░░░░ What s it s ░░░░░░░░ not it s not ░░░░░░░░ s not operational I ░░░░░░░░ when are GARAMENDI Yeah ░░░░░░░░ s right DIAZ BALART ░░░░░░░░ going to be briefed ░░░░░░░░ what what can be ░░░░░░░░ when you know this ░░░░░░░░ happening in real time ░░░░░░░░ and yet on Capitol ░░░░░░░░ you ve got this ░░░░░░░░ know inability to even ░░░░░░░░ forward GARAMENDI Well we ░░░░░░░░ ought to be aware ░░░░░░░░ the Gang of Eight ░░░░░░░░ not only the leadership ░░░░░░░░ the Congress but it ░░░░░░░░ also the crazies in ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party They have ░░░░░░░░ they have over the ░░░░░░░░ decades 30 years now ░░░░░░░░ out three speakers three ░░░░░░░░ speakers have gone under ░░░░░░░░ left their job because ░░░░░░░░ the Freedom Caucus and ░░░░░░░░ now Matt Gatez and ░░░░░░░░ who are the most ░░░░░░░░ part of that It ░░░░░░░░ extremely troublesome for the ░░░░░░░░ States This Israeli situation ░░░░░░░░ one of many many ░░░░░░░░ The government of the ░░░░░░░░ States will shut down ░░░░░░░░ another 35 days And ░░░░░░░░ Congress of the United ░░░░░░░░ has got to get ░░░░░░░░ act together I would ░░░░░░░░ those rational moderate Republicans ░░░░░░░░ reach out to those ░░░░░░░░ us on the Democratic ░░░░░░░░ and put together some ░░░░░░░░ of a coalition some ░░░░░░░░ of understanding so that ░░░░░░░░ can work together Unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ Speaker McCarthy never even ░░░░░░░░ to work with the ░░░░░░░░ to keep to settle ░░░░░░░░ this schism within his ░░░░░░░░ We did however Democrats ░░░░░░░░ a handful with several ░░░░░░░░ Republicans put forth a ░░░░░░░░ resolution that continues to ░░░░░░░░ until mid November But ░░░░░░░░ time is rapidly approaching ░░░░░░░░ ve got to have ░░░░░░░░ accommodation And I implore ░░░░░░░░ Republicans moderates reach out ░░░░░░░░ out to the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ to bar leader Hakeem ░░░░░░░░ and seek some sort ░░░░░░░░ a coalition so that ░░░░░░░░ can get the Congress ░░░░░░░░ in operation It can ░░░░░░░░ done It s been ░░░░░░░░ all around the world ░░░░░░░░ various parliaments and we ░░░░░░░░ do it in the ░░░░░░░░ I know that Leader ░░░░░░░░ and his team is ░░░░░░░░ to work with the ░░░░░░░░ if they re prepared ░░░░░░░░ work with us but ░░░░░░░░ now the chaos caucus ░░░░░░░░ 20 or so radical ░░░░░░░░ Republicans seem to not ░░░░░░░░ to do it And ░░░░░░░░ candidates they put up ░░░░░░░░ Jordan is a bomb ░░░░░░░░ You only need to ░░░░░░░░ at the committee hearings ░░░░░░░░ which he spent chairman ░░░░░░░░ He s a bomb ░░░░░░░░ He s not going ░░░░░░░░ bring about an accommodation ░░░░░░░░ Congress He s going ░░░░░░░░ throw the whole thing ░░░░░░░░ even more chaos Mr ░░░░░░░░ far less radical but ░░░░░░░░ m not sure that ░░░░░░░░ s capable of putting ░░░░░░░░ together There are men ░░░░░░░░ women in the Republican ░░░░░░░░ that could lead but ░░░░░░░░ can t do it ░░░░░░░░ they reach across the ░░░░░░░░ and work with the ░░░░░░░░ and put together some ░░░░░░░░ like give you what ░░░░░░░░ be done Put this ░░░░░░░░ things Don t go ░░░░░░░░ any big ideas either ░░░░░░░░ or Republicans stabilize things ░░░░░░░░ through the appropriate funding ░░░░░░░░ Senate has done that ░░░░░░░░ their appropriation levels They ░░░░░░░░ it with the continuing ░░░░░░░░ Take the Senate s ░░░░░░░░ here put that in ░░░░░░░░ work into a stable ░░░░░░░░ and then we ll ░░░░░░░░ it out in November ░░░░░░░░ and we ll see ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans or the ░░░░░░░░ are able to persuade ░░░░░░░░ American government as to ░░░░░░░░ is capable of governing ░░░░░░░░ clearly the facts show ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans are incapable ░░░░░░░░ is not the first ░░░░░░░░ to fall under the ░░░░░░░░ and the schism of ░░░░░░░░ Freedom Caucus within the ░░░░░░░░ conference There will be ░░░░░░░░ DIAZ BALART And this ░░░░░░░░ unless the Republicans reach ░░░░░░░░ and work with us ░░░░░░░░ BALART And this stalemate ░░░░░░░░ inability to get anything ░░░░░░░░ done in any way ░░░░░░░░ is happening congressman as ░░░░░░░░ and I were speaking ░░░░░░░░ s a live picture ░░░░░░░░ ve been showing you ░░░░░░░░ Gaza City These are ░░░░░░░░ that are happening in ░░░░░░░░ time Congressman thank you ░░░░░░░░ being with us.”
