00:00:00.000 I'm Lou Dobbs with the Great America Show update for Tuesday, October 17th.

00:00:05.040 President Biden headed to the Middle East, meeting set with Netanyahu, Abbas,

00:00:10.220 King Abdullah of Jordan and Egyptian President al-Sisi tomorrow in Amman.

00:00:15.360 Meanwhile, the Biden White House is cloaking what it knew about the Hamas terrorist attacks

00:00:20.400 on Israel and why it took no action against Hamas sponsor, Iran.

00:00:25.580 The question now is, why is the Israeli retaliation seemingly on hold?

00:00:31.680 Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley calling for the United States to bring in

00:00:36.780 as many as a million Palestinian refugees.

00:00:40.940 Haley, after all, was just the Trump administration's spokesperson at the United Nations.

00:00:46.040 She never set policy, and thank goodness. 0.85

00:00:49.180 In Washington, the debate for the nominees for Speaker of the House set,

00:00:53.340 with a vote to follow later this afternoon.

00:00:56.580 At this hour, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is reportedly still short

00:01:01.040 of the 217 votes needed to become Speaker.

00:01:05.200 He and his supporters working energetically behind the scenes

00:01:08.560 to pick up the necessary remaining votes,

00:01:11.780 hoping to win the vote today on the first or second round of voting if possible.

00:01:17.540 Congressman Ben Kline of Virginia,

00:01:19.420 saying this about the historic importance of this vote

00:01:23.080 and Jim Jordan becoming Speaker of the House.

00:01:26.660 We are truly at a crossroads in this country between going down the same path

00:01:31.140 we've always gone of deficit spending, woke and weaponized government getting run over

00:01:35.000 by a Biden administration, by the Senate and Chuck Schumer.

00:01:39.120 But we've got an alternative choice to put Jim Jordan in the speakership

00:01:43.640 and actually have a House that stands up equal to the Senate,

00:01:48.620 equal to the Senate, stands up for the American people, for the values that we share.

00:01:52.840 And I look forward, hopefully, to electing him on Tuesday, voting for him on Tuesday,

00:01:57.240 and getting him in there as Speaker and really changing things for the American people.

00:02:01.980 Congressman Ben Kline, Republican of Virginia, Great American.
