As war rages between Israel and Hamas, the Congress is unable to provide aid to the nation without the leadership of a Speaker of the House. Bret is joined by Congressman Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ-5) and Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R-NY-24) as they discuss their proposed legislation "Operation Swords of Iron" and how it would help Israel in their fight against Hamas.

Later, they talk about House Republicans' search for a Speaker, how the vacancy impacts the ability of Congress to supply aid to Israel, and the possibility of Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) gaining temporary powers to get the House back to work.
