No Speaker, Still!

Good morning! Today on The Meter, we will cover the latest in the Israeli-Hamas war. Israel has moved armored columns, called-up reservists, and heavy artillery on the Gaza border admits exercises as heavy air strikes continue at selected targets on Hamas targets. Humanitarian aid has crossed the Egyptian line into Gaza, giving some relief to beleaguered citizens crowded in the southern Gaza Strip. Israel also has been exchanging fire with Hezebollah on its northern border with Lebanon, rockets were fired at US ships in the Red Sea from Yemen, as expansion of the war remains concerningly high. With Americans killed and abducted, does justification exist for America to enter the war? Back at home, the House of Representatives still has no Speaker. Jim Jordan failed to win the post in 3 votes this past week and hence has removed his name from consideration. The narrowly Republicans are now scrambling to nominate their 3rd candidate since McCarthy ousting nearly 3 weeks ago. With Joe Biden's address asking for billions in aid, will the GOP battle affect the US support for Israel and Ukraine? Also, Sidney Powell, one of Donald Trump's attorneys in the Georgia election fraud case, has pleaded guilty to breaching election systems, a misdemeanor, for her role in the case. Powell will receive 6 years probation and will have to testify in upcoming cases. How will this result affect Donald Trump's case and his 2024 campaign? Please join the discussion at 10AM.
