fox news alexandria hof has more now on the first order of business. tomorrow will be a test and how well the republican majority can work together. moving forward. a vote is scheduled on the new rules package and congressman jim jordans, saying today on fox news sunday that he believes it will pass, adding that the dramatic differences that played out during the five day long speaker vote has only strengthened the party. sometimes democracy is messy. but i would argue that's exactly how the founders intended it. they wanted real debate real real input from all people. but republican congressman tony gonzalez already stated that he will not be supporting the rules package. this is due to agreements made by house speaker kevin mccarthy with freedom caucus members who had vowed to block his speakership if he did not give in to demands. those concessions include a cap on discretionary spending three seats on the rules committee for freedom caucus members and the ability to more easily oust mccarthy. house democratic leader hakeem jeffries feels a small gr

cameras showed republican matt gaetz approached them a credit commerce member alexandria ocasio-cortez to ask if democrats would bailout mccarthy as mccarthy reportedly told republicans. she said there would be no deal. democrats reunited in their nomination of congress never hit keene jeffries as house speaker, making him the first black lawmaker in history to lead a party in congress and be nominated as house speaker posted jeffries actually won more votes than mccarthy in the first round. this is democratic congress member pete aguilar. >> today, that clark, house democrats are united. a nickel for more on republicans -- amy: for more on republican shaping congress, we are joined by robert draper,. author of "weapons of mass delusion: when the republican party lost its mind." his recent new york times magazine story is headlined "inside the january 6 committee: power struggles, resignations and made-for-tv moments -- the untold story of the most important congressional investigation in generations." robert draper, thank you so much for joining us. can you talk about this group of fa

ok, i want to thank my guests in washington alexandria and in paris. and i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t c. you next time remember process? ah, ah, ah . ah the who's washington decides to supply care with 31 a ground tanks, not shortly off the berlin for now some interest and 14 of its leopard tanks. ukraine, as well as giving been known to allies to do the same. we are fighting a war against russia and not against each other. thank you for the united war against russia, with moscow labeling berlin's decision as a serious escalation, a law hundreds take to the streets in protest following the plumbing of the national current.

in some ways it is flabbergasted as you saw with my conversation with alexandria ocasio-cortez. on the other hand, it is not that surprising. there were so many members who have any for decades -- this has not happened in century. my view is we should have seen this coming because kevin mccarthy and republicans come atop republicans and in the house have essentially been putting gas in the tank at this kind of republican extremism and division for so long that of course this isn't just a tactic, this is part of their goal. they don't want to function government that can pass legislation and support working people, they want to drag us further to the right or even not have a congress in the first place. nermeen: greg, could you explain who are the hardline far right conservatives who are holding up the selection of a house speaker, the election of a house speaker? >> you have essentially the most trump part of the republican party, some are real true believers in what i believe in authoritarian form of government. what i want to do is essentially change the rules of the house in

joining us now is democratic congressman from new york alexandria ocasio-cortez. congressman ocasio-cortez, thank you so much for being here on, well, a day that will go down in the history books. >> thank you for having me. >> let's start with what it was like to bear witness to this republican fracture firsthand on the floor of congress. how did you leave the chamber today? >> i was honestly surprised. i did not think that kevin mccarthy was going to have the votes on the first round. but i did not think that it was going to be as catastrophic for him as it actually was. i think one of the things that we saw was -- we saw that there were reports of there being up to 20 holdouts on the republican side, except usually, in the 24 to 48 hours before a vote, there are a lot of negotiations that happen. and kevin mccarthy was engaging in some of those negotiations in order to bring that number down. now i did not think he was going to have the vote at all. but we at least thought that that number would be less. but to get into the high teens, nearly 18 or 19 members r

alexandria ocasio-cortez will be the name right before that. >> alexandria ocasio-cortez? >> there is alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> here it is. >> ogles? omar? >> it looks like he didn't vote. >> andrea, help put this in perspective. the intensity of this has really brought a lot of americans who aren't political junkies into the math of the big board, into the intricacies of behind the closed door dealings. we haven't seen anything like this. >> to, we haven't. it's historic in every context. we're talking about more than what happened in 1923. we're going back to 1855. this is the 12th of these roll calls. we're seeing the sausage being made behind the scenes and on the floor. we saw the deal making because we have cameras on the floor. not just the people who work for the house of representatives, which are fixed on the person speaking, but c-span has been allowed to put extra cameras on because there are to rules. so those television rules that restrict the video we get from the house and senate don't apply. so you're seeing -- scott perry just switched. so i think you'

alexandria hoff joins us from washington. >> there is concern how productive this visit was. president biden appeared not to speak with any migrants or even see any. that included at protesting center in el paso. the senior biden official told cnn, quote: there just weren't any at the center when he arrived. completely coincidental they haven't had any today end quote. so the president had asked workers what they normally encounter. >> coming through varies week-to-week, day-to-day, how many do you have coming through. >> the numbers are different we have had up to 1,000 in one day. >> i know you have people every day. i'm trying to get a sense of the flow. the average. >> well, i would say [inaudible] >> street? downtown el paso were also cleared of what was just a makeshift migrant camp. cbp sources say this happened before the president's visit was announced due to community complaints. in a letter that texas governor greg abbott delivered to president biden yesterday he wrote. this. your visit avoids the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and side steps the thous

mike: alexandria hoff, thanks very much. the justice department recovers another batch of documents from the president's home. republican strategist policy director and former deputy chief of staff and dan, democratic strategist and arc initiative ceo, welcome to both of you. >> thanks, mike. mike: democratic strategist, what do you think of revelations of the documents? >> two things to keep in mind which is to take a pause and wait and see what happens here. i saw the previous panel talk about the need for equal application of the law. i would totally agree with that. i think that the justice department should be lacking at the documents in mar-a-lago and the biden possession with the same vantage point. the big difference for me at mar-a-lago president trump did not reveal to investigators, lied about what was actually there 301 some -- 300 documents some top secret and in this administration coop cooperated. but let's wait and see, something like 90 million documents classified in this country every single year. many are

if you go to the next slide, this is alexandria, home, this is family. the kids are born, mike the oldest in 1952 the youngest 1957. and there's jackson and steve in between. the hard work that he did on capitol hill often known as having the all american family. he does what we all know all american families have problems, challenges. mrs. ford was raising four kids in the middle of the 1960s a turbulent 1960s. and yet her husband is gone so much. and earns the minority leader's in 1960 he could be gone over 200 days of the year promoting the republican agenda and campaigning for the message of congress. when she began to speak in the larger platform as the second lady to talk to newspaper reporter she was open about the psychiatric help there are challenges we go to the next slide board still seeking the speakership. by 1964 covid 19662 years into his minority leadership to make great strides in recovering those numbers. the party secures the presidency in a razor thin election. richard nixon is elected to the presidency campaigning alongside nixon. in

jon: alexandria hoff from washington. thanks. for more on the likelihood of house republicans coming together and choosing kevin mccarthy to be the next speaker of the house, let's bring in charlie hurt washington times opinion editor and fox news contributor. there is something of a circular firing squad that has been lining up among the gop caucus in washington. maybe they haven't fired the shots yet, what do you think the prospects are here, charlie? >> certainly without a doubt kevin mccarthy has a tough hill to climb and that's his job in general to manage a small majority. he is an equally tough hill to climb getting the speakership. the problem is for as many people in the house republicans who say they're not going to vote for mccarthy, just as many if not more republican say that i vote for anybody but mccarthy. and all those people they stick out those positions as a hold them fast. once voting starts the things get very different every speakership race i've ever covered there's always been a holdouts, it's been a lot m

jon: alexandria hoff, thanks. about 100 ukrainian troops are now in the united states training on the patriot missile system which will be used to bolster caves defenses against russia's invasion. nate foy has a story. >> depend on confirms training on the patriot missile defense system has begun for roughly 100 ukrainian soldiers here in oklahoma. it typically takes about a year for the training to be complete at the pentagon will expedite that and will take several months how urgent the situation is in ukraine. i want to show you, this is one of eight launchers with the battery, the patriot defense missile system, for intercepting missiles in each of those launchers. the entire thing is mounted on a truck so it mobile and comes with a radar and control station, it takes 90 people to operate in the total cost is $1 billion. look at this video, the system in action, u.s. 70 ukraine one patriot system, germany committed to sending ukraine and other, president zelenskyy openly said ukraine will ask for more once sol

you can see this in alexandria at the masonic national memorial there in alexandria. and you can't see it very well. it's still well hidden. he sat for this portrait, i think, over a dozen times before he would approve it. and this was for private eyes. it was just for the masons in alexandria. so he felt a little bit better about it. and again, you can't quite see it, but you can see a little bit of of of what looks kind of like freckle laying across the bridge of his nose, maybe a bit on this on his forehead here. there was a mole down here under his ear. and then there's an unrelated abscess on his other other cheek. so washington well understood the damage that smallpox could cause, but he did survive if he hadn't been inoculated. and he survived as a as a teenager. this is undoubtedly one of the reasons why it took so long for washington to decide to inoculate his soldiers. often historians don't really interrogate why it took him. two years, he inoculates the soldiers. in 1777 to decide to do it, and it's partially because he endured it as a teenager. for one, h
