Welcome back. We bring you all the most
important and breaking news from Capitol Hill whenever it comes.
And as we mentioned just before we went to break,
the house failed to pass an amendment by a Kentucky Republican, Thomas Massie, to cut off aid to Israel.
More than 100 Democrats voted for it.
Only Massie as a Republican voted in favor of it.
All the other Republicans, no.
Want to turn to our political panel, Democratic strategist former press secretary to then Vice President Joe Biden, Kendra Barkoff Lammy, and Republican strategist and former chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, Mark Short.
Great to have you here.
>> Thanks, Major.
>> Uh Mark, give me your analysis of this vote.
So, Massie by himself, Republicans clearly whipped this, leave him on his own, and see what the Democrats do among themselves to fight this out.
>> Well, look, I think that this close to election season when uh Thomas Massie's not well-liked in the conference, there's no doubt they're very comfortable with him offering this on the floor, believing that this is what a lot of Democrats have voted exactly as they did.
And I think that the Democrats have a growing anti-Semitic problem in their caucus.
And it's only going to get worse with a lot of these Democrat socialists that they've been pushing forward and have won nominations who are likely to be there next year.
>> to clarify because do you believe any vote that questions US aid to Israel is by definition anti-Semitic, or could it be a policy disagreement with the sitting Israeli government?
>> be a policy disagreement, but I also think they have an anti-Semitic problem.
I think you have people who have basically been nominated this cycle in their party who have basically called for the end of Israel.
You have people in their party who have gone further than just saying they want to cut off aid to Israel.
So, this creates the the dichotomy the Republicans want to say, "We stand with Israel when Democrats don't."
>> Kendra.
>> I mean, I I just can't I I don't go with that viewpoint.
Um I would just say, you know, I worked with the survivors of um the that were held hostages and those family members
>> After October 7th, yeah.
>> after than Republicans.
And I don't think that happens with anti-Semitic members of Congress.
And so, I you know, I think there's a lot of people in Israel that live there that have a lot of different religions.
I think this is a political not a political decision as it terms of them being anti-Semitic.
I think that they just don't like what the current Prime Minister is doing.
>> So, there's a lot of Democrats who certainly are not anti-Semitic. But, are you suggesting you don't have a problem with anti-Semitism in your caucus?
>> Well, the Republican Party doesn't have necessarily absolutely clean hands on this, either.
>> with you, Major. I think there's a growing concern on the right, too. I think a lot of the followers of Tucker have have expressed that, yeah.
>> So, I I
>> Nick Fuentes and others.
>> I concur with that. But, I I think that there's a a more significant challenge with elected officials in the Democratic Party, not just podcasters on the right.
>> Kendra, there was a release today from the former president about a book that's coming out after the midterms.
Let's play it.
>> I've written a book about my time as president. It's called Promise Me, America.
It's coming out in November.
It's available for pre-order now.
It's about the challenges we faced as a nation.
About the decisions I made.
And why I made them.
>> Kendra, that's the best version of that.
It always is. It still sounds a little rough to listen to.
>> Yeah, I think clearly he's aged um and his health is in decline.
We we know that he's made his cancer uh public um and he's obviously going through treatment is what what I can assume
assume and though he has made the conscious choice for this book to come out after the midterms, and I think that was a very smart uh thing for him to do and I think the Democrats are very happy that that it's coming out after the midterms.
Look, Joe Biden served as a public servant for almost 50 years.
Um he did that because he wanted to make the country better and at the end of the day
he has his a truth that he wants to tell and he should be able to to talk about it in the way he wants to talk about it.
>> I'm going to skip over you on this, Mark Short, not because I don't think you have something valid to say, but because I want to have something that is more personal to your relationship with the former Vice President Mike Pence because it was raised by J.D. Vance, because he recorded podcasts with Joe Rogan and name-checked your former boss. So, let's listen.
>> If you look at what Mike Pence or some of the conservative hawks, like people who voted for us, but have been very critical of me, very critical of the administration,
if you actually look at what they're proposing, they just want the military campaign to go on forever, and they can't actually identify what it is that they're trying to accomplish.
>> Mark Short, the floor is yours.
>> Well, look, I think that it's it's odd that he's name-checked the former Vice President a couple recent interviews.
It shows an incredible amount of sensitivity, it appears, on his part.
Um, I know how >> think that's about?
>> how hard that job is to be Vice President of the United States, and I think that Mike
>> Especially under this president.
>> Certainly, especially under this president, Mike Pence does. And, you know, I think there are a couple times when then one, uh, Donald Trump asked Mike to go renegotiate the Remain in Mexico policy.
Two, when Erdogan, uh, was slaughtering Kurds and crossed the border, he asked Mike Pence to go to Turkey and help solve that.
So, he knows what's been asked by the president to go been asked by the president to go
